How to Tell if Your Best Friend Is a Lesbian
Friendships between girls can become very close, but you might suspect that your best friend's feelings for you run deeper than that. This can be a tricky situation, as you don't want to jeopardize your friendship by making any assumptions or accusations. The best thing to do is just observe your friend's behavior carefully and let her know you're there for her if she needs to talk. Even if it turns out she is a lesbian, remember that's she's still your best friend and you don't need to treat her any differently.
1Pay attention to small signs. Notice the way other people hit on you or communicate that they're interested in dating, and see if your best friend does any of the same things. Here are some things to look out for:
- Does she sit closer to you than she needs to?
- Is she constantly finding excuses to touch your arm, your hair, your shoulder, etc.?
- Does she often pay you compliments on how you look or smell?
- Do you catch her staring at you?
- Does she make jokes or comments about dating you?
- Even if she doesn't do these things to you, do you notice her doing them to other girls?
Ad -
2Notice how she talks about boys. Does she ever mention having a crush on a boy? Note that not mentioning this might indicate that she's just shy or reserved, and not necessarily a lesbian.
- Also note that it's possible she's bisexual, and likes girls and boys.
- Some lesbians/bisexuals are afraid of themselves because of the way they were brought up; so if she goes overboard with boys to the point of gaining the 'slut' reputation, it may be her way of forcing the 'lesbianism' out of her system and trying to force herself in heterosexuality.
3Watch her reaction to people who are gay/lesbian. Does she seem surprised about it or is she relaxed? Use your brains, though; sometimes she may be pretending to be surprised with the idea in an effort to hide her true feelings. She may also be lesbian if she seems very uptight and nervous about the topic. Be sure to take into account what kind of a person she is. In addition, many straight people are unaffected by exposure to gays and lesbians, so be careful to factor this into your conclusion.
4Ask her. If the issue is truly putting pressure on your friendship and you feel like you need to know, just ask her. Consider these steps:
- Find a quiet, private setting to discuss the topic. You don't want to embarrass her by asking in front of other people.
- Try to be open and compassionate, so that she can feel comfortable being honest with you. Speak gently and in a calm tone, don't frown at her, and don't make disapproving remarks.
- Don't press the issue. If she says "no," leave it alone. She might not be ready to come out yet, or she might not be a lesbian - either way, though, don't prod.
- Let it go when the conversation is over. Don't keep harping on what was said, and try not to let the discussion change your friendship. Once you've finished your talk, resume business as usual.
5Communicate clearly that you're not interested (optional). If your friend is a lesbian and keeps hitting on you, and you're not interested in dating, turn her down nicely but firmly. Say that you're flattered she cares about you in that way, but you're simply not interested in dating girls (or, you're just not interested in dating her). Stress that you want to preserve the friendship, and that you hope she'll accept your decision gracefully. If she needs a little time to get over the rejection, let her have a few weeks to mend.
6Resolve to be compassionate. Remember that this person became your best friend because there are many things you like about her, but that doesn't mean you have to like everything about her. If you want to preserve the friendship no matter what you find out, tell yourself that you're going to respect who she is and keep treating her like your best friend even if she does turn out to be a lesbian.Ad

- Do not assume that someone is gay/les/bi because they support gay rights. A lot of straight people are "allies" of the gay rights movement.
- If you're a true friend, your friendship will stand beyond your personal attitudes about a person's sexuality. If you respect her as a person, she will do the same, despite if your opinions are different!
- Do not assume that she is attracted to you just because you are a girl.
- Do not use words such as "queer" "fag" "dyke" and "butch" unless you are absolutely sure that she is not offended by such words. Never use them in a derogatory way. If you come off as a bigot or prejudiced towards LGBT people, there is very small chance of her coming out to you.
- Remember that some girls, especially if they are bi, do not show many signs. The best thing to do is not worry about it and wait until she tells you.
- Remember that she may be closeted and show none of these signs. You cannot know for sure unless she tells you.
- Remember that sexual orientation is about self-identity. If she tells you her sexual orientation, do not doubt or question her, but respect how she would like to be identified.
- Never assume someone is gay/ lesbian / bisexual and ask in a quiet space where there is no one else around.
- Does she seem to find reasons to spend time with you alone, or text you all the time? --Does she always try to keep the conversation going, even after it has definitely ended?
- Don't be sad if you ask your best friend out and they reject you because they don't feel ready for this kind of relationship yet.
- If it turns out she is gay, don't just assume she's automatically attracted to you because you're a girl. Lesbians don't fall in love with every girl they meet, just as straight women don't fall in love with every boy they meet. Assuming attraction, especially if you start acting awkward and incredibly uncomfortable before confronting her about her feelings, is the quickest and easiest way to ruin a friendship with a lesbian.
- Also some people may seem gay/lesbian but they aren't actually gay. Don't judge them and don't put them through uncomfortable situations just to see if they are. Be respectful and polite. You do not want to offend them if they aren't, so just ask privately and nicely.
- Be mindful and tactful

MykeApril 2000 |
I feel pretty. Oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and gay.
For all-o-you musical buffs out there (and I know you're there... somewhere...) that was from West Side Story. It was not a happy musical. I am not a happy person. I lied, I do not feel pretty, witty, or even gay, for that matter right now. I feel disgusting, annoyed, depressed, sick, bitter, and terribly irritated, among other things. This is not a good week but I'M ON VACATION NOW AND YOU AREN'T!! PHBBBBT! There goes any energy that I may still have retained at this point in the day.
My fish died. I refuse to take it out of the tank that is so nauseatingly still sitting on my desk, my poor upturned fish lying on the tasteless blue gravel. So I'm just gonna sit here. Staring. Christ I have no life. It's like an f-ing Friday night and I'm staring at a dead fish. Excitement.
On a random note, I just found out the Shroud of Turin was found to be false and the little pieces of cross all these churches had and claimed to be a piece from the original Jesus-crucifix were pieced together and it made some other strange polygon. But, business as usual for now people, Happy Easter. What the hell do chocolate eggs have to do with Christianity anyway? I remember my Mom was afraid that our teeth would become all yellow and shitty so she bought plastic eggs and put coins inside of them. I think that's the reason my brother's the money sucking leech he is today.
If this e-ssay (well, we have stupid terms such as e-commerce and e-cams and shit, why the hell not?) seems unusually frank, explicit, dead, and otherwise unenjoyable to read, that's because I am right now unusually frank, explicit, dead, and otherwise unenjoyable.
BEFORE '[Your] horrid image doth unfix my hair.' -Shakespeare
AFTER 'Go drown in a lake of Diet Coke, fucker.' -some contemporary poet whose name I don't remember right now, get back to you later on that one
I talked to a bunch of 11-year-olds the other day about the word 'gay' since they kept calling each other 'fucking faggots' and 'gay.' So much for Asian modesty (these were Singaporean kids). And these were girls (not to say that girls are incapable of being hateful, but... dammit, all you politically correct people know what I mean). And they said that saying the word 'gay' doesn't necessarily refer to gay people. SO THEN WHAT THE HELL DOES IT REFER TO!?Arrrggghhh. And they say this is an intelligent country, bah! Even I was smarter and more rational than they were at 11. Christ. We're doomed to live in a world where you can say 'I have to go to the bathroom,' and sombody will interpret it as 'I want to hack you to pieces and feed your bloody organs to large dogs.'
Speaking of lovely thoughts, I just saw 'The Talented Mr. Ripley.' If you'll excuse me, I'd like to go throw up. Maybe the catalyst was Matt Damon bashing some guy to death with a boat oar and then wrapping his arms around him and lying there for hours, or the fact that when I got home my parents were like 'Start learning Italian, kids! We're going to Italy!' Good god. Hmmm, I say 'God's name in vain,' too much. Better stop lest 'he' comes down from the sky and smites me. Yes I am so pissed at this point I am aiming to offend.
The Pope is a dumbass. Yknow, why don't I just apologize for all the sins of the Catholic Church because it'd be just as helpful. I don't personally think that only words can make you part of the solution and not the problem. I can just see the Pope, residing in his palace, surrounded by expensive books, while the Aztecs turn in their graves. Representation of God on Earth' My ass is a better representation of 'God.' Did I mention altarboys?
Me and my friend Christina wanna start a club having to do with gay-ness and getting pissed with homophobia. The student council is predominantly Christian, AND, to have a club in this school, you need the approval of the student council. They're supposed to be voting on student reaction, but I personally think that the debate will encompass all of two words: damn fags.
As you can see, it's been a hard week. Maybwe next time I'll at least make an attempt to be happy, but until then... yeah. Note: I'm not usually like this, dammit! This is what happens when Mike + no sleep + bad grades + bad week =. So bye.

To identify older subjects at risk of malnutrition using the most appropriate tool available for the specific setting and to evaluate the Mini Nutritional Assessment short form (MNA-SF) in a sample of nonagenarians.
Questionnaire based national screening week for the risk and prevalence of malnutrition in older people (NutriAction).
Older people in the community (CD) and in nursing homes (NH).
General practices (n=70) and Nursing Homes (n=70).
Questionnaire based on items from validated screening instruments: the MNA-SF, the Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ) and additional clinically relevant parameters (mobility, independence, social isolation and co-morbidities).
In total 5,334 people were screened of which 16% were aged over 90 years. In this age group, 66% of the screened individuals were at risk of malnutrition (MNA ≤ 11), and women were affected significantly more than men (p<0.001). Actual malnutrition was present in 22% (BMI <20), 20% (SNAQ) and 25% (clinical evaluation). The MNA appeared to be very sensitive but had a low specificity as well in the nonagenarians (98% and 44%) as in the younger old (97% and 52%). The SNAQ was not a sensitive tool for detecting malnutrition in this study population (25%). Although clinical impression had a low sensitivity (60–61%) it has a good specificity (86% in 90+ and 91% below 90yr).
The overall risk of and the prevalence of malnutrition is common in older people. The prevalence is higher in women, in nursing homes and in older age groups. The MNA-SF followed by a clinical subjective evaluation seems to be the preferred strategy for detecting malnutrition in nonagenarians.

Dear All,
I am new to scripting under the Gimp and wanted to work a bit on automated workflow in order to save time.
I am trying to work on a very simple copyright script that does the following:
-frame my picture
-sharpen it
-add a small signature on the lower right end
-save it.
Right now, I am stuck in the 3rd step. I want to add something like : name © year type of information.
If I use it as is, the script will drop the ©, I will only have name year. I read some things about utf-8. So I tried to save the .scm file in utf-8 format, but if I do that, when I try to refresh the list of scripts, it will give an error:
error: eval: unbound variable or something like that, without giving the variable name. If I leave it in Ansi, it's fine, but I miss the ©.
Basically, I just copied and pasted the Hello World tutorial from the Gimp website. I put the undo function in remarks, it was giving me another error (dunno why) and nested the anchor function in the set! as it was also giving me an error (I deleted the set!). I change the text to incorporate a © symbol.
At the end, everything works, but the © is not appearing. If I save the file in utf-8 under notepad, it will give me an error.
I have another method, which would be to create the frame and signature into a xcf file and open it, copy it as a layer... would it be simplier?

Kristen's multiple sex scenes are featured in the just-released trailer! Watch it now!
If you thought Bella and Edward got hot and heavy in Breaking Dawn Part 1, just wait until you see what Kristen Stewart does with, well, pretty much all of her co-stars in the new trailer for On The Road! We were given a sneak-peek of this trailer a few days ago, but now Yahoo! Movies has the whole video up for our viewing pleasure — and it was well worth the wait.
Besides Kristen's individual love scenes, we're also give our first clear look at her highly publicized threesome with Garrett Hedlund and Sam Riley! (Seriously, after seeing K-Stew in this movie, people are going to be asking themselves, "Bella who?")
On the Road, which premiered at the Sundance International Film Festival earlier this year, also stars Kirsten Dunst, Viggo Mortensen and Amy Adams.
Watch the new trailer below, then vote: Are K-Stew's On The Road sex scenes hotter than her love scenes with Robert Pattinson?

The book was wonderful and Mary Lou was definately a wild character! I give Kristen props for even considering this role–even more for going full out and doing it!!! It's a movie people–A MOVIE!!! Those of you calling her a slut for doing this movie have obviously the intelligence capacity of a 5 year old! Pick up the book and do some reading, do some research into the background of the time period and find some respect in the aspect in the writing.
Posted at 12:02 PM on September 1, 2012
I think it's "odd" that of all the scenes that Kristen is in within the film, all they culd show was her multiple sex scenes? Says a lot about what her performance really is-porn. Can should we just change her name now to KSlut. Reviews on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes from international auidences and critics have not been kind.
Just saying

Posted at 2:21 AM on September 2, 2012
Excuse me *Just Saying? No one is calling her a slut because of the character she plays in the movie. People calls her slut because she doesn't have moral values in real life. Anyone who get themselves involved with a married guy, twice her age, whose wife and children she befriended is a Slut. A woman who cheats on her long term partner of 3 years with the married guy then comes home to him as if nothing happens is a Slut. Same woman who's not being honest to her boyfriend and not feeling sorry for letting the indecent relationship to go on for weeks until she was caught red handed is a Slut. Kristen Stewart is far more amoral than the characters she plays in the movies. She is a living example of the word S-L-U-T. Don't believe me? Look it up.

GTMS grapples with success as first-year wrestling program
Written by Bill LeConey Wednesday, February 13, 2013 05:56 pm
< Prev | Next > |
GALLOWAY – A decade ago, Absegami High School was a "monster" of high school wrestling in New Jersey, devouring the competition on its way to four straight Group IV championships, numerous individual titles, and a No. 1 national ranking in 2003.
Now, Galloway Township has a new youth wrestling program in place, ready to help feed the Absegami wrestling monster and sustain that dominant swagger.
The Galloway Township Middle School Grizzlies are a first-year "club" wrestling program that is getting plenty of support and already grappling with success at the inter-scholastic level.
Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and the support of the local wrestling community, the program raised more than $10,000 last year to start the program and purchase a brand new wrestling mat. More than 100 people showed their support at a Board of Education meeting, where the board approved the team to start competing last fall.
Eighth-grader Felix Torres remembers an assembly in gym class at the start of the school year when he first caught the wrestling bug.
"They showed us all the new sports they were offering," said Torres, who had played soccer for several years. "I wanted to try something new and I ended up loving it."
Torres is a co-captain of the youth wrestling team. He has quickly caught on to the sport, using his exceptional quickness and footwork to enjoy success at the 80-pound level.
"It's like a combination of team and individual sport," he said. "You can start at any age and end up really good. It doesn't matter where you start."
Torres, 14, has turned parents Daniel and Martha into instant wrestling fans, taking them to wrestling matches all over the area. He tapes matches on TV and studies wrestling moves on YouTube.
It is starting to pay off. He finished second for a silver medal at the Cape-Atlantic Middle School championships on Feb. 12 at Ocean City High School. Teammates Michael Waszen and Owen Bowles each won their respective weight classes and were named to the all-tournament team. James Giegold and Andrew Marcucci joined Torres as silver medalists, while Danny Manka, Steven Waszen and Kevin Watson each took home bronze medals.
There are currently 30 wrestlers on the team, a turnout that many high school programs would envy. Many of them have also shown improvement in the classroom, said coach John O'Kane, a teacher's aide at GTMS.
Many local businesses have sponsored the program, including the Dubliner, Waszen Brothers Inc., Wimberg Funeral Home, South Jersey Chiropractic, B & J Recycling, Living Well Wholistic Center, and Big G's House of Ink. Ken Sherman, a season-ticket holder for Penn State wrestling, donated $500 and came out to help with coaching on occasion, O'Kane said. Dr. Jeffrey Gong, Frank Rudisill and Vince DeSantis also made personal contributions, and Absegami's Booster Club also contributed.
Next year, the Grizzlies expect to officially compete as a varsity team at the middle school level. Torres will have moved on to high school by then, where he hopes to be absorbed into a new tradition of Absegami wrestling dominance.
"I'm really looking forward to starting high school," he said. "Absegami has a great wrestling program, and things are going to be really exciting. I'm definitely going to stick with wrestling."
Galloway Township Middle School Wrestling Team roster
Felix Torres (captain), Kevin Murray, Danny Manka, Andres Arteaga, Justin Gubbins, James Giegold, Nick Calimer, A.J. Langel, Brandon Richardson, Jake Galushka, Isaiah Crosby-Mullins, Jovan Wimberg, Andrew Marcucci, Michael Waszen (captain), Joyce Ntuk, Anthony Rosario, Steven Waszen, Conor Hughes, Riley Blankenship, Andrew Hart, Pat Moran, Syhee Glover (captain), Ramson Watson, Kevin Watson, Chris Yip, Brad Chorpenning, Owen Bowles, and Jordan Durazzi (manager).

New 3.1 compatable version with bug fixes is available here
I have a short question about the mod. I tried it yesterday for the first time. I mentioned, that all new provinces are named "Vättern". What´s the reason for this?
And some of the provinces (e.g. Shetlands / Thorshavn) are named "x".

i had that bug once with na+wwm.
i cant remember now, but i think i played a denglish version ^^
heres a little comment:
it has:
Batavian republic
new flag for the netherlands (prince of orange flag as it was historically)
French kingdom (the after medieval more centralised one with new blanc fleur de lis im not sure wether i correctly changed the sliders but i think so)
French Republic(unfinished its missing the ruler history)
France (the medieval one with new fleur de lis flag)
Rev france (not sure what i changed there but its included)
Wallonia (possible break away nation of belgium)
Turkey (im gonna make a decision for this as well as a revolutionary event chain similar to french).
im gonna keep trying to release bits of content from now on every wednesday but i wil require that cookie
If the goal is to ready the map for expansion backwards to 1200, I'd suggest a couple tweaks.Originally Posted by MonMarty
Based on this map, and historical research... http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/histo..._1138_1254.jpg
1. Add Amalfi (from Campania and Basilicata). In 1200 the city was much less important than it was 200 years before, but it was still a trading center of regional importance, which is more than you could say for some of the German HRE minors in Vanilla... (Pisa should control the province, with the nation of Amalfi as a revolter; Pisa had taken control just 60 years earlier.)
2. Add Benevento, carved from the central area between Campania, Apulia, and Molise. Benevento was a Papal territory and the seat of the Pope's temporal power in southern Italy. (Should be controlled by the Papal State until Italian unification, with a brief interruption courtesy of Napoleon.)
3. Add Lucca, basically from Modena's coast. Lucca was of rising importance in 1200 and rivaled Florence in power in the late 1300s.
4. Add a province for Pavia, somehow. (On the map I drew, Milan and Bergamo are combined and the southern border of that province is moved northward.) Pavia was a very important city and rival to Milan from the 1200s to the late 1500s. (Independent from game start until Napoleon, briefly controlled by him, independent again from 1815 until 1847 when it was annexed by Tuscany until Italian unification.)
Just my $0.02.
I believe I understand the reason for provinces being visible to various nations in your mod for v1.3. It is because there are 2 and sometimes 3 provinces using the same province number. (1 or 2 new provinces using the same prov number as an original province).
Can I fix this by assigning all the new provinces a different number? In other words, can I just reassign them an unused number?
Also, is there a history/provinces folder from a newer version of your mod that will work for v1.3? If so, I can simply overwrite that one folder with the province documents from the newer mod.
PLEASE, help me fix this. Just tell me what files I need to mod and what I need to do.
Here's the list of islands from aenariel's changelog:
Code:****21/9/2008***** - Separated Tobago and Margarita from their current provinces (Trinidad and Cumana, respectively). - Redrawn the Caribbean almost completely. - Added several islands to the eastern caribbean (Montserrat, Barbuda, Nevis, Tortola). - Added San Andrés off the coast of Nicaragua. - Added Mafia south of Zanzibar. - Added Laccadive Islands off eastern India (north of Maldives). - Added several islands off eastern Sumatra (Mantawai, Simeulue, Nias, and Batu Islands, and some redesigning). - Added Christmas and Cocos Islands (Indian Ocean). - Added Palau west of Phillipines. - Added Yap near Palau. - Separated Saipan and Tinian from Guam. - Added Galapagos off Ecuatorian coast. - Added Juan Fernandez Islands west of Chile. - Added the Easter Island on the mid Pacific. - Added Fernando Noronha (Northeast of Brazil). - Added Trindade (east of Brazil).Here's something to try: Go to the vanilla History folder and copy EVERYTHING in it into the WWM history directory, EXCEPT for the provinces with the same province numbers as the ones already there. Then open WholeWorld.mod with notepad or any other text editor, and change extend = "history" to replace = "history".Originally Posted by Eikinskjaldi

those are countries, you can decide yourself to put them in or not, they are practically done the only thing you have to do is replace any files and add text to the localisation/countries.txt
im still figuring out what to do with france exactly and i will be delivering dutch prov history next week, during napoleonic times the netherlands becomes the batavian republic and that also requires fixing some other minor issues.
wallonia, you could just give them cores on any wallonian culture prov they arent really necessary just a break away. also i will try to make some decision on turkey. and i also request you replace the NED flag with the one i supplied.
Hey guys I just made two national decisions for this mod regarding Sardinia.
The first one allows you to form Sardinia-Piedmont if you are Savoy and own the two Sardinian provices (no need for cores). The second one allows you to restore the Kingdom of Sardinia (basically, changing your tag), if Sardinia doesn't exist, you are not Savoy, you are a monarchy (after all, it is the Kingdom of Sardinia), and you own and have cores on both Sardinian provinces.
Since both countries already exist in the game, there is no need for adding tags, flags, or countries. Simply add the text file in the /decisions folder of the Whole World Mod.
For Hafte: If you want to include this in the next version of the WWM, these could be the decision descriptions:
For Sardinia-Piedmont: "Now that we own the island of Sardinia, we can declare ourselves rightful rulers of Savoy and Sardinia. Praise the new nation of Sardinia-Piedmont!"
For the Kingdom of Sardinia: "The Kingdom of Sardinia no longer exists, but we, as rightful owners of the island, can now restore. Let the new Kingdom of Sardinia rise again!

Hey Hafte, what tools so yo use to mod the map (and where can I get them)?
I should imagine he uses photoshop or the like, no? You can use Paint.net, a free tool where as photoshop for the latest edition is something like $600, both function more or less the same. Other than that, all you need is a text editor. If you check the EUIII wiki, there's a useful guide on modding the map, it's pretty much the same for a new map or just a revision.
Even an ignorant, paranoid, cowardly, ugly, corrupt, unsociable, aristocratic thug can conquer large parts of the world, kill thousands of people and be celebrated as the saviour of the Republic.
what i use: paint and notepad. thats all the modder needs not sure what hafte uses though.
Don't you need a .dds viewer or somesuch, or does pain.net already come with that?

If you're applying in person, you can bring in the bank statements, pay stubs, tax returns and other paperwork when you apply, and if you're missing a critical document, you can rush home and get it. Not so if you apply over the phone or the Web, as IndyMac's consumer customers do.
When you work with a remote lender, try faxing or e-mailing scanned documents if you can, Rich recommends. Send bulky documents by overnight courier. Make sure you have the correct name and address of the person who is to receive the papers.
Vella says refinancing customers often forget two critical pieces of information. First, they sometimes forget to bring in their hazard insurance documents. At the least, borrowers should have the name of their insurer and the policy number. Second, many lenders want to verify the last two years of each borrower's employment. That means that if you have taken a job with a new employer in the past two years, you need to bring the address and contact name and phone number of your previous employer.
Perry hastens to point out that some lenders, including Countrywide, allow current customers to apply for refinancing with little paperwork.
Get the right loan lock Many lenders are telling refi customers that their loans will take up to 60 days to close. Other lenders stretch their estimate to 90 days. If you want to lock at today's low rates, make sure the lock extends at least up to the lender's estimate of how long it will take to close the loan.
"A consumer needs to know what is being guaranteed with the rate lock," Vella says. If you lock for 30 days and the lender takes 60 to get to closing, you don't really have a rate lock. "I would recommend that the borrower not lock in less than 60 in this rate environment because it is taking longer to close," Vella says.
It is taking a long time not only because loan offices are busy, but also because appraisers are swamped and so are title agents and title attorneys. Reserving a table in a title office is like booking a reservation at Manhattan's hottest restaurant: It's hard to get in, and you might have to settle for a less-than-ideal time of day.
Stay in touch, but don't pester With the delays and the worries over paperwork, borrowers get antsy when they haven't heard from their lenders in a while. They want to know what's going on with their loan. "To call every few days probably doesn't make things go any faster," Vella says diplomatically.
She suggests that you discuss with the lender or broker how often you want to be contacted, even if it's just to hear that the lender is waiting for the appraiser to visit the house. If you want a phone call every Friday, say so, Vella says. If you want a phone call every time something significant happens, say so.
Ask for a timeline of the loan -- a document that spells out when each step is expected to be completed. "It relieves stress on the part of the borrower," Vella says.
Rich says "the best of the best of the loan officers" give their customer's timeline routinely, without being asked.
Getting a timeline from the lender might not get your loan closed before your next-door neighbors who applied on the same day, but it helps you understand what's taking so long -- and that can be the difference between a stressful and a stress-free refi.

Linebacker Timmons' stock up with Steelers
Linebacker Timmons' stock up with Steelers
By Scott Brown, PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW Friday, September 9, 2011 James Farrior described a recent hit on Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan, and the Steelers' venerable inside linebacker punctuated his play-by-play with a "Pow!" What he said about Lawrence Timmons, who delivered the jarring hit, proved to be even more of an eyebrow-raiser than Farrior getting animated about a play that happened in a preseason game. "I really feel like he can be the best defensive player in the league," Farrior said. Farrior is hardly alone among his teammates in his belief that Timmons stands at the brink of a breakout season. The push from good to great starts Sunday in Baltimore, where the renewal of arguably the best rivalry in the NFL will feature stellar play from star-studded groups of linebackers. No 'backer on either team might be more on the rise than Timmons, given the five-year, $50 million contract he signed last month and that Farrior isn't prone to hyperbole. When told of Farrior's statement, Timmons said in surprise, "Oh really. That's a heck of a statement there." Indeed it is considering the wealth of defensive talent concentrated in the Steelers' locker room. Among three of the past NFL Defensive Player of the Year winners are strong safety Troy Polamalu (2010) and outside linebacker James Harrison ('08). There also is outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley, who has recorded at least 10 sacks in his first three seasons as a starter, joining Harrison as the only players in Steelers' history to accomplish the feat. Not that Timmons is a newcomer to the hits parties the Steelers' defense throws on a regular basis. He led the Steelers in tackles (149) in 2010, despite fading a bit in the second of the season. And the 15th overall pick of the 2007 draft, coach Mike Tomlin's first with the Steelers, blew his cover long ago at least among teammates who marvel at his ability to hit like a falling tree and shadow tight ends and running backs in pass coverage. "He's got a huge burst to the ball," Polamalu said. "He's very instinctual." When asked if the 6-foot-1, 234-pound Timmons, who also can play outside linebacker, is the best athlete on the Steelers' defense, Polamalu said, "Probably." Timmons has taken awhile to find his footing since there are so many established players around him, but that isn't the only reason. He played just three seasons at Florida State before declaring for the 2007 NFL Draft. Football became his job before he had celebrated even his 21st birthday. That helps explain why, as Farrior said, "I didn't know what his voice sounded like when he got here. He wasn't saying anything in the meeting room." Timmons won't get any votes for chattiest player on the team. But he does seem more comfortable in a locker room that is filled with dominant personalities. "I was 20 years old, so there's quite a difference," Timmons said. "I guess I've grown up some." Timmons celebrated his 25th birthday in May, and he and Woodley, 26, head the vanguard of young players with which the Steelers plan to one day reload. Woodley said neither he nor Timmons has played his best football. "We haven't outright made it to the Pro Bowl yet," said Woodley, who made the Pro Bowl as a reserve in 2009. "This year, hopefully, we'll get that opportunity." |
Re: Linebacker Timmons' stock up with Steelers
In my opinion they both got screwed out of the ProBowl last year.... Besides, they had plans that week anyways! :tt02:

Update 2013. Mitsubishi has upgraded Triton with more horse power. Please email/call for more details and pricing.
The new "Triton" 1-ton pickup truck has replaced the 2005 Strada after a full redesign. Triton is assembled at Mitsubishi Motors local facility in Laem Chabang, Thailand. Following the Thai launch on August 25, 2006, Mitsubishi plans to ship it to other countries and regions. Orders are pouring in at Mark Motors and we plan to export more Tritons to more countries and regions than Mitsubishi just as we outstripped Toyota in Vigo sales. Triton models are powered by a newly-developed common rail direct injection diesel engine that delivers high outputs while returning low consumption, clean emissions and quiet operation.
The major features that distinguish the new Triton pickup are: An original and stylish exterior/interior design that adds a sporty dash to pickup toughness; packaging that provides a best-in-class roomy interior living space; and suspension and interior appointments that realize sedan levels of comfort and ride. These elements serve both to highlight the originality and advanced qualities Triton brings to the pickup segment and also to eliminate the commonly held image of a pickup being a vehicle design purely for commercial use. As such, these characteristics are expected to make a major contribution in expanding the customer base for Mitsubishi brand pickup trucks. Triton is fitted with the Pajero's 2. 6 and 3. 2-litre Di-D turbo-diesel engines.
The new L200 gets two engine options, including the latest in common-rail fuel-injection technology and turbo-charging: 2. 5 and 3. 2 liters to make it an effective competitor to the Isuzu D-Max, Toyota Hilux Vigo and Chevrolet Colorado.
The 3. 2-liter engine is new for the pickup line and is an improved version of the one used in Mitsubishi's Pajero midsize sport-utility vehicle. It becomes the first diesel in the segment with a displacement over 3. 0 liters.
As with the current range, the new truck offers a choice of single or double cabs, two- or four-wheel drive, and manual or automatic transmissions.
The Thai Mitsubishi division wants to make the new L200 the most powerful pickup available, toppling the 163-horsepower, 3. 0-liter D4D diesel offered by Toyota. Likely outputs for the Mitsubishi light truck could be as high as 175 horsepower.
Mitsubishi has made Thailand the global hub for pickup production.

The second split of the duck season is upon us and that's good news for hunters. More ducks in the state means more good news.
All the cold weather and extra water from the rain makes for a perfect recipe for the opening of the second split. In fact, more ducks are expected in the area compared to the first split.

Celine Dion Cancels Tour Due to Husband's Cancer Battle
Celine Dion has canceled her Las Vegas shows and upcoming Asian tour to focus on the health of her family.
Celine Dion has canceled her Las Vegas shows and upcoming Asian tour to focus on the health of her family.
Celine Dion is back to life! The French-Canadian chanteuse will release her first English-language album in six years in the form of 'Loved Me Back to Life,' which is full of modern contributors, features and songwriters. The diva also shared the epic and upbeat title track, which you can listen to below. It was co-penned by songwriting secret weapon Sia.
Like my previous story about 'The Songs of Diane Warren,' Jim Steinman is another one of those major songwriters who you may not be familiar with, but have heard his music on the radio. Jim's big commercial break came when he began working with Meatloaf on the 'Bat Out Of Hell' project in 1977. Years later Meatloaf and Steinman would try and catch lighting in a bottle one more time with 'Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell,' but other than one major hit off the album, 'I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That),' it didn't come close to the 40 million copies of the 1977 album.
We normally associate our favorite hit songs with the singer or group who performs them, but there are many, many talented writers out there who provide these singers with some of their biggest hits. Diane Warren is one of those people.
As if her Grammys, Brit Awards and countless other accolades weren't enough confirmation of her superstar status, Adele now has another honor to her name: a cover by Celine Dion.

How to Train Your Dragon [transcript] WIP
I have to 20:06 done, please report any errors If you see them. Enjoy! Contains tracks, and different voices on separate lines. Hopefully ill finish this one:
*Track: This is Berk* *Narrorator (Hiccup)* This, is berk. Its twelve days north of hopeless, and a few degrees south of freezing to death. Its located solidly on the miridian of misery. My village, in a word, sturdy, And its been here for seven gereations, but every single building is new. We have fishing, hunting, and a charming view of the sunsets. The only problems are the pests. You see most places have mice, or mosqitoes, we have *Hiccup* Dragons. *Narrorator(Hiccup)*Most people would leave. Not us, were vikings. We, have stubborness issues. My names Hiccup. Great name, I know, but, its not the worst. Parents belive hidious names will frighten off gnomes and trolls, like our charming viking dimener wouldnt do that. *Random viking* ARRGH, Mornin! *Viking 2* What are ya doin here. *Viking 3* Get inside! *viking 4* What are ya doing out? *Viking 5* Get back inside! *Stoik* Hiccup! What is he doing out ag... What are you doing out, get inside! *Narrorator* Thats, Stoik the Vast. Cheif of the tribe. They say that when he was a baby, he poped a dragons head clean off its shoulders. Do i belive it? Yes I do. *Stoik* What have we got. *Viking* Gronkles, Naders, Zipplebacks, oh and port saw a Monsterous Nightmare. *Stoik* Any Night Furys? *Viking* None so far. *Stoik* Good. *Viking 2 and 3* Watch it! *Gobber* Oh how nice of you to join the party! I thaught you'd been carried off! *Hiccup* What, who me? Nah come one, im waay to muscular for their taste, they wouldnt know what to do with, all, this. *Gobber* Well, they need toothpicks dont they? *Narrorator* The meathead with attitude and interchangeable hands is Gobber. I've been his apprentice ever since I was little, well, littler *Stoik* We move to the lower defences, we'll counter attack with a catipults. *Hiccup* See, old village, lots and lots of new houses. *Viking* FIRE! *Narrorator* Oh and thats Fishlegs, Snoutlout, the twins Ruffnut, and Tuffnut, and... Astrid (Say with awestruck). Aww their job is so much cooler.*Hiccup* Aww come on, let me out, please, I need to make my mark! *Gobber* Oh you made plenty of marks, all in the wrong places. *Hiccup* Please, two minutes, ill kill a dragon, my life will get infinatly better, i might even get a date. *Gobber* You cant lift a hammer, you cant swing an ax, you cant even throw one of these! *Hiccup* Ok, fine, but this, will throw it for me. *viking* Oh! *Viking 2* ow! *Gobber* See, now this right here is what im talkin about! *Hiccup* But it, it, a mild calibration issue *Gobber* Dont, no.

Stop being all of you. *Hiccup* Ooh. *Gobber* Ooh yes. *hiccup* You, you sir, are playing a dangerous game. Keeping this much, raw, vikingness, contained, there will be consequences! *Gobber* I'll take my chances. Sward, sharpend, now. *Narrorator* One day ill get out there, because killing a dragon, is everything around here. *Track:Dragon Battle* *Hiccup* A Nadderhead is sure to get me at least noticed.

A Zippleback, exotic, two heads, twice the status. *Viking* They found the sheep! *Stoik* Concentrate fire over the lower bank. *Viking 2* Hurry up! *Viking 3* Fire! *Hiccup* And then, theres the monstrous nightmare. Only the best vikings go after those. They have this, nasty habit of setting themselvs on fire. *Stoik* Reload!

Hahahahahaha. *Hiccup* I really did hit one. *Gobber* Sure. *hiccup* He never listens. *Gobber* It runs in the family. *Hiccup* And when he does, its always with this, dissapointed scowel like someone skimped on the meat in his sandwich. (Imatating Stoik) Excuse me barman! Im afraid youve brought me the wrong offspring. I ordered an extra large boy, with beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side! This here, this is a talking fishbone! *Gobber* Now your thinkin about this all wrong. Its not so much what you look like, its whats inside that he cant stand. *Hiccup* Thank you, for summing that up. *Gobber, Look the point is, stop trying so hard to be something your not. *Hiccup* I just wanna be one of you guys! *Stoik* Either we finish them, or they finish us, its the only way we'll be rid of them. If we find the nest and destroy it, the dragons will leave, they'll find another home. One more search, before the ice sets in. *Viking* Those ships never come back. *Stoik* Were vikings, its an occupational hazard, now whos with me? *Crowd chatters with disagreement* *Stoik* Alright then, those who stay, will look after Hiccup. *Viking* To the ships! *Viking 2* I refuse to do it! *Stoik* Aie thats more like it. *Gobber* ??? *Sigh* Ill pack my undies. *Stoik* No, i need you to stay and train some new recruits. *Gobber* Oh perfect, ya and while im busy, Hiccup can cover the stall. Molten steel, razor sharp blades, lots of time to himself, what could possibly go wrong? *Stoik* Oh, what am i gonna do with him Gobber? *Gobber* Put him in training with the others. *Stoik* No, im serious. *Gobber* So am I.*Stoik* He'd be killed before you let the first dragon out of its cage *Gobber* Oh you dont know that. *Stoik* I do know that. *Gobber* No you dont. *Stoik* No actually i do. *Gobber* No you don't! *Stoik* Listen. You know what hes like. From the time he could crawl hes been, diffrent. He doesnt listen, he has the attention span of a sparrow. I take him fishing and he goes hunting for, for trolls! *Gobber* Trolls exist! They steal your socks, but only the left ones, wha, whats with that? *Stoik* When i was a boy... *Gobber* Oh here we go. *Stoik* ...my father told me to bang my head aganst a rock, and I did it. I thaught it was crazy, but i didnt question him, and you know what happend? *Gobber* You got a headache. *Stoik* That rock, split in two. It taught me what a Viking could do Gobber. He could, he could crush mountians, level forests, tame seas! Even as a boy, I knew what i was, what i had to become, Hiccup is not that boy. *Gobber* You cant stop him stoik, you can only prepare him. I know it seems hopeless, but the truith is, you wont always be around to protect him, he's going to get out there again, hes probobly out there now! *Track: The Downed Dragon* *Hiccup* Oh, the gods hate me, some people loose their knife or their mug, no not me, I manage to loose an entire dragon? Ow! *Gasp!* Oh wow. I-I, I did it. Oh, I did it, this this fixes everything! Yes! I have brought down this mighty beast! *Toothless* *Growls* *Hiccup* Oh! I'm gonna kill you dragon. Im gonna, I'm gonna cut out your heart and take it to my father. I'm a viking. I am a VIKING! *Toothless* *Moans* *Hiccup* Grr... I did this. *Heavy Breathing* Uhh... *Toothless* *Screeches* *Hiccup* Eeeeh. *Stoik* Hiccup. *Hiccup* Dad! Uhh. Uhh I have to talk to you dad. *Stoik* I need to speak with you too son. It's time for you fight dragons.*Hiccup(At same time) I think i dont wanna fight dragons. *Stoik and Hiccup* What? *Stoik Uhh, you go first. *Hiccup, Noo, no you go first. *Stoik* Alright, you got your wish, dragon training, you start in the morning *Hiccup* Ohh man, i should've gone first, uhh cause I was thinking, you know we have a surplus of dragon fighting Vikings, but, do we have enough bread making Vikings, or small home repair vikings. *Stoik* You'll need this. *Hiccup* Ah. I don't wanna fight dragons. *Stoik Haha, come on, yes you do! *Hiccup* Rephrase, Dad, I can't kill dragons. *Stoik* But you will kill dragons. *Hiccup* No, Im really very extra sure that I won't. *Stoik* Its time hiccup. *Hiccup* Can you not hear me? *Stoik* This, is serious son. When you carry this ax, you carry all of us with you, which means, you walk like us, you talk like us, you think like us. No more of, this. *Hiccup* You just gestured to all, of me. *Stoik* Deal? *Hiccup* This conversation is feeling very one sided. *Stoik* Deal!? *Hiccup* *Sigh* Deal. *Stoik* Good. Train hard, i'll be back... probably. *Hiccup* And ill be here... maybe. *Track: Dragon Training* *Gobber* Welcome, to dragon training. *Astrid* No turning back. *?nut* I hope i get some serious burns. *??nut* Im hoping for some mauling like, on my shoulder, or lower back. *Astrid* Ya, its only fun if you get a scar out of it. *Hiccup* Ya, no kidding right? Pain. Love it. *?nut* Oh great, who let him in? *Gobber* Lets get started! The recruit who does best will win the honor of killing his first dragon in front of the entire village. *Snoutlout* Hiccup already killed a Night Fury, so does that disqualify him, or... *?nut* Can i train in the class with the cool Vikings? *Gobber* Don't worry, your small and your weak, that'll make you less of a target, they'll see you as phsyco, insane, and go after the more Viking like teens instead. Behind these doors, are just a few of the many speices you will learn to fight. The deadly nadder. *Fishlegs* Speed eight, armor sixteen. *Gobber The Hidious Zippleback. *Fishlegs*Plus eleven stealth times two *Gobber*The monstours nightmare *Fishlegs*firepower fifteen *Gobber*the terrible terror *Fishlegs*Attack eight, venom twelve *Gobber*CAN YOU STOP THAT! And the Gronkle *Fishlegs* *Whispers* Jaw strength eight. *Snotlout* Wow, wow, wait, arent you gonna teach us first? *Gobber* I belive, in learning on the job. Today, is about survival. If you get blasted, your dead. Quick, whats the first thing your going to need? *Hiccup* A doctor? *Fishlegs* Plus five speed? *Astrid* A Shield. *Gobber* Shield, go! Your most important piece of equipment is your shield. If you must make a choice between a swoard or a shield, take the shield *?nut*Take your hands off my shield. *??nut*Theres like a million shields! *?nut*Take that one, it has a flower on it, girls like flowers. *??nut*Oops, now this one has blood on it. *?nut and ??nut* Ow! *Gobber* Tuffnut, Ruffnut, your out. *?nut and ??nut* What? *Gobber* Those shields are good for another thing. Noise. Make lots of it, to throw off a dragons aim. All dragons have a limited number of shots. How many does a gronkle have? *Snotlout* Five? *Fishlegs* No Six! *Gobber* Correct! Six! Thats one for each of you! *Fishlegs* I really know... WOW! *Gobber* Fishlegs, out. *Fishlegs* AAAUGH! *Gobber* Hiccup! Get in there! *Hiccup* Augh! *Snotlout* So anyway, im moving into my parents basement, you should come by sometime to work out, you look like you work out. AAH! *Gobber* Snotlout, your done! *Hiccup* So, i guess its just you and me hunh? *Astrid* Nope, just you. *Hiccup* AAh! *Gobber* One shot left! HICCUP! (BLAST) And thats, six. Go back to bed ya overgrown sausage. You'll get another chance, dont you worry. Remember, a dragon will always, always, go for the kill. *Hiccup* So why didn't you? 20:05 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1:04:47 *Stoik* I should have known. I should've seen the signs. *Hiccup* Dad? *Stoik* We had a deal! *Hiccup* I know, we did, but that, that was before, oh it's all so messed up. *Stoik* So everything in the ring, a trick? A lie? *Hiccup* I screwed up. I should've told you before now. Be mad at me, take it out on me, but please, just don't hurt Toothless. *Stoik* The dragon! That's what you're worried about, not the people you almost killed! *Hiccup* He was protecting me! He's not dangerous! *Stoick* They've killed hundreds of us! *Hiccup* And we've killed thousands of them! They defend themselves, that's all! They raid us because they have to. If they don't bring enough food back, they'll be eaten themselves. There's something else on their island, dad. It's a dragon, li- *Stoik* Their island! So you've been to the nest? *Hiccup* Did I say nest? *Stoik*How did you find it? *Hiccup* What, no, I, I didn't. Toothless did. Only a dragon can find the island. Oh nono, no, dad, it's not what you think, you don't know what you're up against! It's like nothing you've ever seen! Dad, please, I promise you, you can't win this one! (sigh) Dad, no! For once in your life, would you please just listen to me! *Stoik* You've thrown your lot in with them. You're not a Viking. You're not my son.

Happy Hump Day! I've been in the writing/editing/promotion cave for the last few months so I have writing-life issues on my mind! I've had to break a few bad habits lately and it's been a struggle, but one I think most everyone can relate to in some way. Do you have a top ten list of things you wish you had known before you took that management job, or before you got married or before you had a baby? This is my top ten list of things I wish I had actually known-known… Not just heard about or thought about, but had acted on before selling my first story.
The pic is my personal and FREE Top Ten graphic! And what I look like in my editing cave…
Top Ten Things I Wish I knew About Being an Author Before I Sold.
10. Invest in coffee (or Tea, or flavored waters). For at least five Christmases and birthdays before submitting, request your favorite coffee house gift cards. Starbucks for me, thank you. This will come in handy when you see #7
9. Have several sizes of black yoga pants available to you at all times. The key is stretchy waist. You will be sitting for many hours a day—no need to be bunched. What about the actual yoga you ask? Oh, yeah… I'm still working on finding time for that.
8. Record a few short videos of your children, husband and pets so you have something to remember them by when you enter your editing cave.
7. Carve out an editing cave. You've spent months (or longer) polishing a manuscript, but you will have several more rounds of edits before that baby is ready to be shown to the public. And you will want a quiet place to work. See #10—Starbucks actually keeps me focused.
6. Write a note to yourself right now about why you're doing this so when you want to huddle in the corner of a dark room and have a good cry about yet another round of edits, you can talk yourself out of it.
5. Write at least ten blogs about yourself, ten about the story you're writing and ten random topics so you can be ready for the social media and promo blitz that you are expected to take part in. It's a lot of fun, but harder than it looks!
4. Start an exercise routine that includes lots of stretching or ask for anniversary and birthday gifts to be to the spa for massages. Anything to get out of exercise works for me.
3. Clean up you computer. You know what I mean. If you're like me, a shove everything into a drawer so I know where it is kind of organizer, then your computer files might not be the most um…organized. *ahem* Don't tell my husband I'm confessing this. Clean out some of the junk and put everything pertaining to that manuscript in one folder AND Back. It. Up.
2. Start using a calendar for scheduling instead of random pieces of paper, and use a timer to keep you from getting sucked into the Facebook-Twitter-Pintrest triangle of doom and know it's okay to say when and take the night off.
1. Give yourself permission to enjoy selling your first story! Heck, even plan what kind of celebration you are going to have. Don't let the pressure to write more take away the joy of such an accomplishment!
This might not be new advice, but just like being told to take lots of naps when you have a newborn baby, it's what I wish I had actually done prior to selling.

eMedicine | med/3565 |
Upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding refers to hemorrhage in the upper gastrointestinal tract. The anatomic cut-off for upper GI bleeding is the ligament of Treitz, which connects the fourth portion of the duodenum to the diaphragm near the splenic flexure of the colon.
Upper GI bleeds are considered medical emergencies, and require admission to hospital for urgent diagnosis and management. Due to advances in medications and endoscopy, upper GI hemorrhage is now usually treated without surgery.
Contents |
Patients with upper GI hemorrhage often present with hematemesis, coffee ground vomiting, melena, or hematochezia (maroon coloured stool) if the hemorrhage is severe. The presentation of bleeding depends on the amount and location of hemorrhage.
Patients may also present with complications of anemia, including chest pain, syncope, fatigue and shortness of breath.
The physical examination performed by the physician concentrates on the following things:
Laboratory findings include anemia, coagulopathy, and an elevated BUN-to-creatinine ratio.
A number of medications increase the risk of bleeding including NSAIDs and SSRIs. SSRIs double the rate of upper gastrointestinal bleeding.[1]
There are many causes for upper GI hemorrhage. Causes are usually anatomically divided into their location in the upper gastrointestinal tract.
People are usually stratified into having either variceal or non-variceal sources of upper GI hemorrhage, as the two have different treatment algorithms and prognosis.
The causes for upper GI hemorrhage include the following:
The diagnosis of upper GI bleeding is assumed when hematemesis is documented. In the absence of hematemesis, an upper source for GI bleeding is likely in the presence of at least two factors among: black stool, age < 50 years, and blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio 30 or more. In the absence of these findings, consider a nasogastric aspirate to determine the source of bleeding. If the aspirate is positive, an upper GI bleed is greater than 50%, but not high enough to be certain. If the aspirate is negative, the source of a GI bleed is likely lower. The accuracy of the aspirate is improved by using the Gastroccult test.
Whiting studied a cohort of 325 patients and found the odds ratios for the strongest predictors were: black stool, 16.6 (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.7–35.7); age < 50 years, 8.4 (95% CI, 3.2–22.1); and blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio 30 or more, 10.0 (95% CI, 4.0–25.6).[5] Seven (5%) of 151 with none of these factors had an upper GI tract bleed, versus 63 (93%) of 68 with 2 or 3 factors. Ernst found similar results.[6]
The nasogastric aspirate can help determine the location of bleeding and thus direct initial diagnostic and treatment plans. Witting found that nasogastric aspirate has sensitivity 42%, specificity 91%, negative predictive value 64%, positive predictive value 92% and overall accuracy of 66% in differentiating upper GI bleeding from bleeding distal to the ligament of Treitz[1]. Thus, in this study a positive aspirate is more helpful than a negative aspirate. In a smaller study, Cuellar found a sensitivity of 79% and specificity of 55%[2], somewhat opposite results from Witting. Cuellar also studied the appearance of the aspirate and a summary of these results is available at the Evidence-Based On-Call database. Although the website lists these results as expired, they were available as of Oct, 16, 2006. These results are also available through the Wayback Archive and readers may consult the Archive if the original page is removed.
Determining whether blood is in gastric contents, either vomited or aspirated specimens, is surprisingly difficult. Slide tests are based on orthotolidine (Hematest reagent tablets and Bili-Labstix) or guaiac (Hemoccult and Gastroccult). Rosenthal found orthotolidine-based tests more sensitive than specific; the Hemoccult test's sensitivity reduced by the acidic environment; and the Gastroccult test be the most accurate [7] . Cuellar found the following results:
Finding | Sensitivity | Specificity | Positive predictive value (prevalence of 39%) | Negative predictive value (prevalence of 39%) |
Gastroccult | 95% | 82% | 77% | 96% |
Physician assessment | 79% | 55% | 53% | 20% |
Holman used simulated gastric specimens and found the Hemoccult test to have significant problems with non-specificy and false-positive results, whereas the Gastroccult test was very accurate .[9] Holman found that by 120 seconds after the developer was applied, the Hemoccult test was positive on all control samples.
In a study published regarding a new scoring system called the Glasgow-Blatchford bleeding score in Lancet on January 3, 2009, 16% of patients presenting with upper GI bleed had GBS score of "0", considered low. Among these patients there were no deaths or interventions needed and the patients were able to be effectively treated in an outpatient setting. [10] [11]
Score is equal to "0" if the following are all present:
The predictive values cited are based on the prevalences of upper GI bleeding in the corresponding studies. A clinical calculator can be used to generate predictive values for other prevalences.
The initial focus is on resuscitation beginning with airway management and fluid resuscitation using either intravenous fluids and or blood.[12] A number of medications may improve outcomes depending on the source of the bleeding.[12]
Based on evidence from people with other health problems crystalloid and colloids are believed to be equivalent for peptic ulcer bleeding.[12] Proton pump inhibitors may reduce mortality in those with severe disease as well as the risk of re-bleeding and the need for surgery among this group.[13] In those with less severe disease and where endoscopy is rapidly available, they are of less immediate clinical importance.[14] The evidence for the inhibition of fibrinolysis with tranexamic acid is insufficient to recommend it use.[12][15] But the evidence is promising.[16] Somatostatin and octreotide while recommended for varicial bleeding have not been found to be of general use for non varicial bleeds.[12]
For initial fluid replacement colloids or albumin is preferred in people with cirrhosis.[12] Medications typically includes octreotide or if not available vasopression and nitroglycerin to reduce portal pressures.[17] This is typically in addition to endoscopic banding or sclerotherapy for the varicies.[17] If this is sufficient than beta blockers and nitrates may be used for the prevention of re-bleeding.[17] If bleeding continues than balloon tamponade with a Sengstaken-Blakemore tube or Minnesota tube may be used in an attempt to mechanically compress the varicies.[17] This may than be followed by a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.[17]
If large amounts of pack red blood cells are used additional platelets and fresh frozen plasma should be administered to prevent coagulopathies.[12] Some evidence supports holding off on blood transfusions in those who have a hemoglobin greater than 7 to 8 g/dL and only moderate bleeding.[12] If the INR is greater than 1.5 to 1.8 correction with fresh frozen plasma, prothrombin complex may decrease mortality.[12]
The benefits verses risks of placing a nasogastric tube in those with upper GI bleeding are not determined.[12] Endoscopy within 24 hours is recommended.[12] Prokinetic agents such as erythromycin before endocopy can decrease the amount of blood in the stomach and thus improve the operators view.[12] Early endoscopy decreases hospital time and the amount of blood transfusions needed.[12] Proton pump inhibitors, if they have not been started earlier, are recommended in those in whom high risk signs for bleeding are found.[12] It is also recommended that people with high risk signs are kept in hospital for at least 72 hours.[12]
About 75% of patients presenting to the emergency room with GI bleeding have an upper source .[6] The diagnosis is easier when the patient has hematemesis. In the absence of hematemesis, 40% to 50% of patients in the emergency room with GI bleeding have an upper source [5] [8] [18]

The Pullmans in the Thousand Islands
(through September 2014)
The Pullman family were among the first of the summer residents in the Thousand Islands region of upstate New York, acquiring Sweet Island (now Pullman Island) for $40 in 1864.
George Pullman is most famous for his Pullman Palace Cars – railroad sleeper cars that brought a high level of luxury to travel by rail.
Publicity surrounding visits to Pullman Island by U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant and other Civil War heroes were a driving force in popularizing the Thousand Islands among the wealthy.
Castle Rest, built by George Pullman in 1888, was the first of many elaborate summer homes that showed off the wealth of their owners. Pullman would stay at Castle Rest every summer until his death in 1897.
This exhibit is inspired by the donation of a large number of photographs of Castle Rest and Pullman Island by George Pullman's great-grandson. Through these photographs and other artifacts, the role of George Pullman in the development of the Thousand Islands as a summer resort will come clear. Enjoy!
The War of 1812: The Battle of Cranberry Creek
(through September 2013)
On July 20, 1813, a small crew of American privateers successfully repelled a much larger British force attempting to recapture supplies and vessels captured by the Americans on the strategically important St. Lawrence River. This minor two-hour skirmish resulted in seven dead. Two hundred years later, we commemorate this event with an exhibit that reconstructs the battle through period maps and artifacts collected from the battleground.
The Cornwall Brothers Store
Through period photographs and small artifacts, the history of the Cornwall Brothers Store and life in a bustling riverside community is portrayed.

Internship License
The Ohio State Board of Pharmacy requires that a student be actively working towards
the requirements for licensure as a pharmacist in order to apply for an intern license.
The State Board defines "actively working" as having begun the PharmD classes. For
the PharmD program at The University of Toledo College of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical
Sciences, this means the student must have started attending first professional year
(P1) classes in the Fall Semester. This means that a student accepted into the PharmD
program in April who is to begin PharmD classes in August will not be eligible for
licensure until the student has begun classes in August.
It is extremely important that each PharmD student applies for an Ohio intern license as soon as possible, once eligible. A current, active Ohio intern license is required for students to participate in the Introductory and Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience courses. This coursework begins in the P1 year and continues throughout the remainder of the PharmD curriculum.
For more information about licensure as an intern, please contact the Ohio State Board of Pharmacy at 614.466.4143 or email@example.com.
The process for applying for intern licensure can be found on the Ohio State Board
of Pharmacy website. Students may obtain an application at www.pharmacy.ohio.gov.
Questions about the internship licensure process should be directed to the Ohio State
Board of Pharmacy at 614.466.4143or email@example.com.
Enrollment Verification:
Students will need to obtain an enrollment verification form to apply for an internship
license. Enrollment verification forms will automatically be prepared for all P1 PharmD
students who will begin their professional division coursework in the Fall semester.
The forms will be distributed during the first week of fall classes in PHPR 3920 (IPPE-1).
Other students enrolled in the P1 year or higher who need an enrollment verification
form for an intern license application may request the form from the Office of Student
Affairs (HEB 155).
