I got a decent haul at gamestop, of all places. Didn't expect much, I was able to get Olimar, ZSS, Charizard, and the Splatoon 3-pack. I'll be swinging by my local TRU soon and see what they have.
update: went to TRU, Best buy, and Target. Found Bowser Jr only. I suppose that's what happens when you have to work at 7 in the morning till almost 4pm. I still consider myself fortunate to find what I did.
It really irritates me that people are putting their codes up on ebay. Those charging any amount (even $1.00) for a FRIGGIN DEMO, should be ashamed. As far as I'm concerned, they're as bad as all the other Nintendo scalpers out there. I'd say what I really think, But they tend to censor posts here. Oh well.
Congrats to @luinikex @Quik8040 @SpiritsRise as you were the first to respond. codes are sent. enjoy!
Currently downloading the demo. Size is 1732 blocks. I have 3 more codes up for grabs, but I won't be posting them here. The FIRST THREE replies I receive to this post, will get the codes. All I need is your email. 1 PER PERSON. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Just got mine ordered from Gamestop a couple hours ago. Did an in-store web order(same as MH4U when it was first announced) I'd say check and see if your local store can do that. they order it for you from their warehouse and it gets shipped to your home address. The only downside to it, is that you have to pay it 100% up front. I was told by a Gamestop Rep that not all stores would be getting stock for pre-orders, so the in-store web order will be the best bet for some until they sell out. Also, from what I've seen so far, Best Buy won't be getting this.
@Paintfrog Unfortunately, I've already handed out the ones I had. Sorry about that.
@MrGameluvr Awesome. Good to hear. Just had to know that I copied the code correctly.
@Anayari @MrGameluvr I sent out the codes. Let me know if they worked.
Got 2 US codes here. Shoot a reply with an email and I'll send them to the first 2 I read.
@Alshain01 One of many reasons I quit eating fast food over 7 years ago. As far as the toys go, I'm sure some of them will wind up on ebay soon enough.
I'd rather get this one. At least this one I know is functional.
To open or not...tempting, but no. I pre-ordered this morning along with the collectors edition hardcover guide. My plan is to leave them both sealed and just buy the digital edition on the E-shop at launch. My wallet is gonna hurt a bit, but if past experience is any indication, Collector prices are gonna skyrocket 2 or 3 years from now.
I want it. How much?
A 9/10 does not mean that there was anything wrong with the game. It basically says that no matter how good the game is, there is always room for improvement. So, by that logic, no game should ever get a 10 because there is always something that can be done to make a game better.
Well then, I guess I must be quite backwards as I'm currently using my Wii U to finish up Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime 3.

Mondo Trasho, Tea Hacic-Vlahovic, is back and Sam Webb tells her exactly how it is. It is rare that Mondo Trasho is silenced but little did she know what Mr. Webb has got to say. One more question. Your place or mine?

Mondo Trasho gave David Gandy the grilling that we had all been waiting for and when she met Simon Nessman we were hoping for more.

Eagles personnel director Ryan Grigson will interview with the Colts and Rams for their vacant general manager jobs and might also be a candidate in Chicago.
NFL Network originally reported the 39-year-old Grigson, who was the runner-up to Eagles general manager Howie Roseman in 2010, was targeted early by the Colts. He's an Indiana native who played at Purdue and, while working as a pro scout for the Rams in 1999, maintained a residence in Crown Point, Ind.
Grigson also fits the mold Rams owner Stan Kroenke said he envisioned as a young, up-and-coming evaluator to pair with a veteran coach.
Grigson worked for the Rams after his playing career ended. He was an offensive lineman at Purdue, went to training camp with the Carolina Panthers, and played in the CFL. His younger brother, Drew, is a scout for the Arizona Cardinals.
His time with the Rams overlapped with Bears coach Lovie Smith and Grigson fondly recalled working to find the kind of defensive players Smith, then defensive coordinator for the Rams, was after -- guys who could run and guys who could create turnovers. Grigson could be a candidate for the Bears' GM job considering the structure calls for Smith to remain as head coach and their history working together.
He was hired by the Eagles in 2003 as a regional scout. He was named director of college scouting in 2006 before replacing Roseman as director of player personnel in 2010.

OP - have you talked to your OB GYN. It took me just one try to conceive twice (first I lost at 11 weeks, but second I had in Dec '10). This is month #4 of TTC my second. From what I hear from others on this board is that OB GYN's will start looking into fertility related issues after trying for a year. A friend of mine who had been trying for 8 months purchased the very expensive Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monito (not to be confused with OPKs) and conceived right away.

Oddbins: end of an era
by Tom Cannavan, 04/2011
Who knows how many businesses go bust in the UK on a daily basis? Each one will be at least a small tragedy for the people who have invested time, sweat and money in them, and often for a string of customers and creditors who lose out too.
This notice appeared on the door of my local branch today, one that has not survived as Deloitte, the administrators of the Oddbins estate since it was forced into administration a few weeks ago, announced that 37 of almost 90 stores had been sold. That leaves the remaining 52 to face a very uncertain, but probably gloomy future.
Oddbins was arguably the best thing to happened to wine in the UK in the past 30 or 40 years. They shook up the high street, taking the stuffy image of fine wine and reinvigorating it for a brand new audience. With their anarchic ethos, everyone in a typical Oddbins branch - both staff and customers - seemed to be sharing one huge passion for wine and not just engaging in a transaction. I am one of thousands, maybe millions, who owe Oddbins a huge vote of thanks for what they acheived and for nurturing my own passion for wine.
At this stage it is not clear who has bought the Oddbins brand and website, and nor is it clear what the new owners of the 37 stores will do with them. But the once mighty chain, with hundreds of stores and one of the most exciting wine ranges in the world has gone.
So farewell Oddbins. Many pages have been, and will be written about what went wrong. A lot of blame has been layed at the door of the supermarkets, for driving down prices and turning wine into nothing more than a BOGOF commodity - with little thought for quality. And there's no doubt that the company's recent turbulent history of being bought, sold and often it seems mis-managed, must also share some of the blame.
It's not a time for despair. Majestic continues to perform strongly, and at least some supermarkets like Waitrose, M&S and Booths persist with intelligent, interesting wine offerings. And there's a burgeoning new crop of independent merchants both online and on the high street filling in niches and gaps. But whilst the Oddbins of recent years might have been a shadow of its former self, it's passing is a sad day for the country's wine lovers.

Talking Points:
- EURUSD cracks to fresh yearly lows at 1.3241.
- USDCHF has resumed its move towards 0.9160/89.
- US Dollar strength in August shouldn't surprise - it's a seasonally strong month.
EURUSD and USDCHF are back in tandem, and while that mean a bit more EURUSD weakness as USDCHF tries for $0.9160, that doesn't mean that Euro has to weaken across the board. The trailing quarterly correlation (63 days, average month has 21 trading days) between EURUSD and USDCHF is -0.960; or +0.960 between EUR and CHF.
The EUR and CHF relationship is important to note because even though both currencies are showing a tendency for further losses against the US Dollar, they might not be elsewhere.
EURGBP's potential inverse head & shoulders bottoming pattern looks more valid in context of GBPCHF's head & shoulders topping formation; both point to British Pound weakness relative to the Euro and Swiss Franc.
EURJPY Daily Chart (February 2014 to Present)
If EURJPY can clear ¥138.05, it will have broken out of 1) an expanding wedge since July 10 and 2) the downtrend encased by the May 13 and June 9 highs. Given the down move since the start of the year, a reasonable target in the short-term would around ¥139.30, where the descending TL from the December 27, 2013 and May 8, 2014 highs intersect at the end of next week.

So is the pressure on Superman?

Re: So is the pressure on Superman?
Cary L. Brown wrote:
I think you're misinterpreting the statements some folks are making re: "The Dark Knight" or "Batman Begins" regarding how Superman would be done.
What these films demonstrated isn't that "dark and brooding" is the way to go. What they demonstrated is that staying as true as possible to the source-material, instead of trying to "reinvent" or "put my own spin on it" or whatever, is the way to go.
"Superman Returns" at once tried to honor, not Superman (the comic character) but Superman (the Reeves character) and yet to "update" it in ways that they'd NEVER do with the comic character. They "honored" stuff that's not central to the guy, and ripped out core elements of him and those around him.
As "cool" as the action sequences in S-R may have looked, the "Superman is a stalker ex-boyfriend" bit was utterly horrifying to me and ruined everything. The fact that the actor, or at least the way the part was written and the character was outfitted and dressed, was almost like a Goth/Emo version of Superman didn't help.
Go do a search for "World's Finest trailer." It's a fan-made thing, but it's got the best Batman and Superman casting I've ever seen (and I love Bale in the Nolan films, by the way... I just think that the guy in this is better!) The guy who did Clarke Kent in this little trailer IS Superman as I've always seen him in my mind's eye. And his Clark and Superman are just dissimilar enough that I can imagine people not figuring it out.
What needs to be done in the next Superman film is to treat it as a SERIOUS (no "camp") treatment. Treat this as the real world... but just put this fantastic character into it. The Salkind Superman did that to an extent... but it also had a heavy dose of campiness, with "Superman Returns" kept but layered on even more heavily.
Note: "No Camp" does NOT mean "dark and depressing." Humor doesn't have to involve self-mockery. Superman should be a bright, positive hopeful character... exactly the opposite of what Batman should be.
I'm sure the vast majority of moviegoers who went to TDK couldn't have cared less if the movie was faithful to the comics. The reason the movie did so well was because Nolan wrote and directed a great movie. Simple as that.
And while World's Finest was a fun little fan film, stylistically it felt about as campy and comic booky as the Spider-Man movies-- which is NOT what I'm looking for in a Superman movie.
I far preferred SR's more sophisticated and adult style (although I would still want to brighten things up a tad for the sequel

The Webster teen, Michael Pilato, accused of intentionally setting fire to his house in Webster in December, killing his father and brothers, was in court this morning, Friday, May 11, for what is called a Huntley hearing.
Following today's proceeding, Monroe County Court Judge Vincent Dinolfo is expected to decide, in about six weeks, which statements can be used during Pilato's murder trial.
The 15-year-old is accused of pouring gasoline inside his house on Cardile Drive in Webster on December 7 and lighting it on fire. Pilato's father, Carmen and his brothers, 16-year-old Peter and 12-year-old Joshua, died in the fire. His mother and sister escaped. He is charged with murder, attempted murder and arson.
In court today, Nathaniel Blood, who lives with Michael Pilato's sister, Elaina, testified.
Blood said that on the night of the fire, they received a call around 2 a.m. saying that there was a fire at the Cardile Drive home. After that phone call, Blood said they received a call from Michael Pilato, asking Blood and Elaine to meet him at Ellison Park.
When they arrived at the park, Blood said he asked Pilato if he had anything to do with the fire and Pilato said yes.
Blood says the three of them then went to Rochester General Hospital. Blood said Pilato claimed he started the fire by putting a gas can in the stove because he was mad at his father, Carmen.
Blood said Pilato was mad because Carmen allegedly told Pilato he was a disgrace to the family. Blood says Pilato claimed he was not mad at his mother.
According to Blood, Pilato said he'd rather be dead and that he didn't want to go to jail for five to seven years. Blood said Pilato said he wanted to go to the hospital to kill everyone, take their money and then head south in his father's vehicle.
Pilato's mother was in the courtroom today but had to leave as she may be called as a witness.
Pilato's sisters, Jennifer and Angel, say they want Michael to "pay the price for killing three beautiful people."

If you haven't heard, we released the HTML Client Preview 2 last week which adds the ability to create HTML5/JavaScript based clients to your LightSwitch solutions. I thought it would be a good exercise to add an HTML companion application to my Contoso Construction sample to demonstrate just how quickly you can build these clients.
Contoso Construction is a sample that uses LightSwitch extensions and slightly more advanced coding techniques in order to integrate with mail servers, automate Word and Excel, create map visualizations, provide advanced data filtering, and connect to OData sources. The Silverlight client is meant to run on the desktop and is used by the construction company to manage construction projects.
One of the features of the application is the ability to add photos of the construction site.
Right now, however, the way it works is someone on the site has to bring back the pictures to the office in order to upload them or the crew needs to carry around a laptop in order to run the rich desktop application. Instead, we want to be able to provide the ability to upload photos using any modern mobile device. So let's see how we can build this companion client in minutes.
First thing we need to do is add a new mobile client to our current project. (You will need to first install the LightSwitch HTML Client Preview 2 in order to get this functionality. Keep in mind that this release is still in preview so make sure you don't do this to any production applications – please use a copy ;)).
Right-click on the project node and select "Add Client…"
Then select HTML Client and name the client "MobileClient".
Once you do this, LightSwitch will upgrade your project to support the new features in Preview 2. Keep in mind, once you upgrade the project, you will not be able to open it on another machine unless you have the Preview 2 installed.
When users first open the application we want them to see a list of current projects, just like they see on the Home screen on the desktop app. To add a screen, right-click on the MobileClient (which is now set as your startup project for debugging) and select "Add Screen…".
This will open up the Add New Screen dialog. Select the Browse Data Screen template, then select the CurrentProjects query as the Screen Data and name the screen "Home". Then click OK.
The Screen Designer will open. Because this particular query has an optional parameter that retrieves all projects in the system, LightSwitch will place the parameter input on the screen as well. In this case, we want only the current projects displayed so delete this control.
If you hit F5 to run the app at this point, we'll now see the list of current projects on the home screen.
Now we want to display a screen that shows the project details as well as the photos. So right-click on the MobileClient and "Add Screen…" again. This time select the View Details Screen template. Select Project as the screen data and then make sure to include the related Pictures.
On this screen we also want the mobile user to be able to update the notes field if they need to. So change the Notes field to a TextArea control.
In order to open the details screen we'll need to wire up the tap event of the list box on the Home screen. Open the Home screen, select the Current Project list and in the Properties window under Actions, add a Tap action by clicking the link.
This will pop up a dialog that let's us call up the details screen. Select "Choose an existing method" then select "showViewProjectDetail". Finally, you will need to specify that the CurrentProject.selectedItem should be sent to the details screen.
Now if we hit F5 to run this we can tap on a project in the list and the View Project Detail screen will appear. Notice that the child relation to the Pictures is automatically displayed on a separate tab.
Next we want to display the photos in a tiled list when the user opens the Pictures tab. Open the ViewProjectDetail screen and first set the Picture summary control to a Rows layout. This will display the image & the notes controls.
Next change the List control to a Tile List control.
Hit F5 to run the application, select the first project then select the Pictures tab and you will see the tiled list of picture thumbnails.
Now it's time to add the main part of functionality to this app. We want to allow users to upload new photos. Right now using Preview 2 we need to add some custom code to do this. Luckily all the code we need is part of the HTML Client tutorial. There are a couple files we need from this project to incorporate into ours:
Sample Resources\image-uploader.js Sample Resources\image-uploader-base64-encoder.aspx
We need to add these to our client project manually. In order to do this simply flip to "File View" which allows you to see the physical layout of the solution.
Next, open up the MobileClient node and add an existing file to the \Scripts node.
Select the image-uploader.js and the image-uploader-base64-encoder.aspx. Next open up default.htm located in the root by double-clicking on it and add the following reference at the end of the script block:
<script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/image-uploader.js"></script>
Flip back to Logical view and then open the ViewProjectDetail screen. Select the Dialogs node at the bottom, and then select and select Add Dialog. In the Properties window, change the dialog's Name to ImageUploader.
From the left-hand side of the Screen Designer (the view model), drag the SelectedItem node of Pictures into the new dialog. Delete the Project item.
Next select the newly-added Selected Item node. In the Properties window, set both Width and Height to Fit to Content. Change Note's type to Text Area.
Next, the fun part -- writing some JavaScript code :). Switch the dialog's Picture field from an Image to a Custom Control.
In the Properties window, choose the Edit Render Code hyperlink or select the "Write Code" button at the top right of the designer and select the _render method.
Add the following code (in bold):
myapp.ViewProjectDetail.Image1_render = function (element, contentItem) {
// Write code here.
createImageUploader(element, contentItem, "max-width: 300px; max-height: 300px");
In the Add Button dialog box, choose the Pictures.AddAndEditNew method, and Image Uploader as the "Navigate To" dialog.
Next we need to add code in order to set the "Updated" field automatically when a picture is uploaded. This is a specific requirement of Contoso Construction's schema, the Picture.Updated field is required, but it's internal so it's not displayed on the screen. Select the Projects entity to open the Data Designer. You will notice at the bottom of the Data Designer there are now different perspectives. The Server perspective is where all your business logic resides. This is the middle-tier data services and is where "the buck stops here" code resides like data validation and complex data processing. This is why we can add an HTML client to an existing project with minimal code, because most of your code is here.
In order to add default values on our HTML client, select the "MobileClient" view and then select the Updated field. Then drop down the "Write Code" button and select "created" method. This allows you to set defaults on the JavaScript client.
Write this code (in bold):
myapp.Picture.created = function (entity) {
// Write code here.
entity.Updated = new Date();
RUN IT! When we F5 to run our application, navigate to a project, then select the pictures tab, we can now click the "Add Picture" button at the bottom of the screen to add a new image and some notes.
Clicking the checkmark at the top right will enter the new picture into the list. When you're done uploading images, click the Save button on the top right of the screen to save them all.
Note that if the user tries to navigate away from the screen, they will be prompted to save or discard changes just like you would expect.
Finally, let's add the company logo to the mobile client so this looks professional and company branded. Flip to file view in Solution Explorer. Then expand the MobileClient project node and look under Content/Images and you will see a user-logo.png. Simply replace that file with the logo you want.
You can also replace the user-splash-screen.png in order to display a different image when the application is loading. Now when we run the application, we'll see the Contoso Construction icon in the upper left of the Home screen.
Now that we have our HTML client application we can deploy it in 3 minutes to an Azure Website like I showed here:
Easily Deploy Your LightSwitch Apps to Azure Websites in Minutes
I also encourage you to work through the HTML Client tutorial to see end-to-end how to build an HTML companion client & deploy it to Azure. Once the app is deployed to the internet, the construction crew can now use the HTML client app on their smart phones and tablets.
As you can see, LightSwitch makes it super simple and fast to build HTML clients. You only need to know a little HTML5 & JavaScript to customize the UI like we did in order to add customizations. LightSwitch has always been able to focus the developer on writing code that provides the business value (custom controls, business rules) and not have to worry about all the plumbing (data access, service implementations, etc). This still holds true with the addition of the HTML client.
Try it out and let us know what you think.
Excellent work. Very short and to the point with good screen shots and accomplishes a lot!
A few questions. Is the HTML client only for mobile? Can I use it to make an application with only an HTML client and no Silverlight? Unfortunately Silverlight is now banned at our work because of the uncertainty with no future roadmap. Is it possible to make a multi-lingual HTML client? That's another show stopper for us right now with Lightswitch.
Thanks again.
Excellent article. But still love Silverlight way ;)
Excellent article. However, like Marc-Andre, I am a bit surprised that HTML seems to mean mobile with Tiles. We have lots of customers that expect us to other GUIs instead of drawing a couple of tiles with text. I have not seen a single user who said: Wow, tiles...great.
Will there some sort of customization possible?
I encourage you to keep sharing your feedback in this space by visiting the forum -- the team is listening:
How does the file browse function work on mobile devices? Does it default to the "camera roll"? Does it only allow you choose a file location or will it allow the camera to launch as well?
On a seperate but related note, is there a method that can be used to capture signatures?
Anwsered my own question by try... It works well with iOS and Andriod browsers. Ironically, I'm unable to get the "image-uploader" custom control to work for WP8 browsers. Tried several browsers on WP8 but none of them will function correctly.
@Jim W - Yes unfortunately the file upload isn't supported in WP browsers yet. Here's a compatibility chart: viljamis.com/.../file-upload-support-on-mobile
For the signature, take a look at this post: blogs.msdn.com/.../adding-a-signature-control-to-the-lightswitch-html-client.aspx
Thanks for the "Signature for HTML" post. Its very helpful and adds a ton of value to our projects.
1000 Thanks!
Thanks for the article.
I'm testing this example with VS 2013 Pro, and after fixing the problems with the extensions, I run it, but the popup for Image Uploader is not editable, all the controls are like in read only mode, I've no idea how to fixed it. (I check that "Use Read-only Controls" is not activated)
Any advice?
Great article thanks, I wanted to know if it was possible to connect an IP Camera to capture an image as an addition to the file uploader.

A review of the most recent literature on
biliary tract disease in sickle cell (HbSS) dis-
ease has shown gallstones to be present in
approximately 67 percent of affected patients.
There is adequate evidence to urge all physi-
cians to be aware of the contributions of gall
bladder disease to the abdominal symptoms
of sickle cell anemia. Frequently, because it is
difficult to distinguish between the painful
"crises" and gall bladder disease, the latter
diagnosis is not considered.
This article submits that investigative pro-
cedures of the gall bladder, in all patients with
HbSS disease and abdominal crises, should
be performed. If gallstones are present, elec-
tive cholecystectomy in the adequately pre-
pared patient seems to be justified.
Sickle cell disease is one of the most common of
all serious hereditary diseases. Hemoglobin-S dif-
fers from the normal hemoglobin in the substitu-
tion of the single amino acid, valine, for glutamic
acid, in the complex beta polypeptide chain of
the globin component. This distinct hemoglo-
binopathy is transmitted as a mendelian domi-
nant gene. When it is present homozygously, clin-
ically overt sickle cell anemia results.
Patients with sickle cell anemia (SS), and with
chronic hemolysis from any cause, form gallstones
more often and at a younger age than do others.'
The incidence of cholelithiasis in SS anemia pa-

tients has been reported to be as high as 67 per-
cent.' The significantly higher levels of unconju-
gated (indirect) bilirubin and reticulocytes, and
levels of hemoglobin-F more often in the SS pa-
tients with cholelithiasis suggests that the hemo-
lytic rate is a major determinant of gallstone for-
Gallstones are composed of bilirubin, choles-
terol, and calcium in varying proportions. They
may be classified as pure, mixed, and combined.
The rapid hemolysis of red blood cells usually
causes an elevation of the indirect bilirubin. The
liver excretes the excessive pigment (bilirubin) in
the bile. The gallbladder bile is a super saturated
solution of mainly cholesterol and hemoglobin de-
rivatives. Any increase in the concentration of
these cholelithogenic substances may upset the
delicate equilibrium and result in precipitation and
formation of pigment stones. Infection and stasis
are other major predisposing influences in the
genesis of gallstones.
Despite the fact that cholelithiasis is a well
known complication in patients with SS disease,
very few of these patients, who present to their
doctors and the general Emergency Rooms with
abdominal pains, are suspected of having gall-
stones. Without a high index of suspicion, the
presence of cholelithiasis or choledocholithiasis
will go undetected. McCall et al,3 in July 1977,
reported the incidence of cholelithiasis in Ja-
maican adults with SS disease to be 28 percent.
A previous study in 1973 at the Freedmen's
and Howard
Medicine, Washington, DC, by Golding et al,4 re-
vealed a similar incidence of gallstones in SS pa-
Page 2
tients. The age and sex distribution of SS patients
with gallstones indicates a prevalence that in-
creases with age in both sexes, and a higher preva-
lence in females than males at most ages.3'4 In a
recent study among the pediatric age group (4-18
years) of SS patients, incidence of cholelithiasis as
high as 17 percent has been found.5
Despite the prevalence of gallstones in SS pa-
tients, it seems that symptomatic biliary tract dis-
ease is uncommon. In the general population, one
third to one half of those with asymptomatic
gallstones are reported to develop severe symp-
toms and/or complications within 5 to 20 years.6
With better medical care ofSS patients, life expect-
ancy is increasing. Therefore, one might expect a
higher percentage of SS patients with gallstones to
become symptomatic.
A 24-year-old, type O-Rh positive woman, with
known SS disease, reported to a San Diego com-
munity hospital with severe right upper quadrant
abdominal pain. The patient stated that the pain
radiated to the left upper quadrant, and sometimes
felt as if it were "boring through my heart." The
patient was admitted with a diagnosis of acute ab-
dominal crisis of sickle cell anemia.
The hemoglobin on admission was 8.5 mg/dl,
hematocrit 25.5 volumes percent;
count 11.5 percent; bilirubin (total) 15.7 mg/dl (the
direct and indirect fractions of bilirubin were not
obtained); alkaline phosphatase 16.4 IU per liter
(normal 2.9 to 9.7); serum amylase 35 IU (5-35);
SGOT 181 IU/liter (8-33); and SGPT 176 IU/liter
(3-36). The urinalysis showed a specific gravity of
1.010. There were 13-15 white blood cells per high
power field and a urine bilirubin of2+. There were
moderate numbers of epithelial cells.
The patient was placed on bed rest with con-
tinuous intravenous fluids of 5% dextrose and
water to run at approximately 125 cc/hour. Meperi-
dine and hydroxyzine hydrochloride were ad-
ministered intramuscularly every four hours as
needed for pain. The patient was given nasal oxy-
gen at 4 liters per minute for the first 24 hours of
At no time did the patient show an elevated
temperature. Her pain decreased in severity on the
second hospital day.
A repeat test serum bilirubin on the third hospi-
tal day revealed a decreased total bilirubin of 6.3
mg percent with a direct bilirubin of 4.9 mg/dl and
an indirect bilirubin of 1.4 mg/dl. Because of the
rapid decrease in the total bilirubin, sonogram of
the gallbladder was ordered, and cholecystosonog-
raphy revealed cholelithiasis. After preoperative
preparation, on the ninth hospital day, the patient
had a cholecystectomy and tolerated the proce-
dure well. She was discharged from the hospital on
her sixth postoperative day.
In SS patients, there are four different "crises"
that may bring him/her to medical attention. These
are: (1) vascular occlusion crisis; (2) sequestration
crisis; (3) hemolytic crisis; and (4) aplastic crisis.
Patients may present with varying degrees of ab-
dominal pain, the character of which may range
from gas-like to sharp and colicky. The pain may
last from a few hours to 48 hours. The classical
sickle cell crisis is a pain caused by vaso-occlusive
episodes that can mimic an acute condition of the
abdomen. An awareness of this entity has led to
infrequent and unnecessary exploratory laparot-
omy in patients with acute sickle cell crisis.
An abdominal crisis, manifested by abdominal
upper quadrant pain, jaundice, elevated
enzymes and often leucocytosis, is said to occur in
ten percent of all patients with SS disease.7 Some-
times, this group of symptoms when presented
simultaneously is called a "liver" or "hepatic"
crisis. However, the physician must be aware that
there are a number of hepatobiliary complications
of sickle cell anemia. This article emphasizes
cholelithiasis and choledocholithiasis, but viral
hepatic hemosiderosis, and "hepatic" crises may
present with clinical and laboratory findings that
are quite similar, and at times, very difficult to
The medical work-up for an SS patient that
*As of May 1977 only eight cases of intrahepatic cholestasis
had been reported. Only one of the eight reported cases
survived. In this same time period only 19 cases of viral
hepatitis in SS disease had been reported. This low inci-
dence may be the result of misdiagnosis.

presents to his physician with right upper quadrant
pain should be: complete physical examination,
CBC, reticulocyte count, liver function studies
(SGOT, SGPT, bilirubin 'total and direct', alkaline
phosphatase, LDH), serum for hepatitis B surface
antigen (HBsAg), and a plain abdominal radio-
A flat radiographic plate ofthe abdomen may be
a useful diagnostic
tool for the detection of
gallstones in SS disease since there is a greater
than 50 percent chance that the gallstones will be
radiopaque.:3 If the plain film of the abdomen does
not reveal stones, oral cholecystogram is the pro-
cedure of choice in detecting gallstones. In cases
of nonvisualization of the gallbladder or intoler-
ance to oral intravenous cholecystographic mate-
rials, cholecystosonography is of value.
Many practitioners hesitate to order cholecys-
tograms in patients with elevated bilirubin. Gib-
son et all at the Medical University of South
gallbladder by oral cholecystogram despite serum
bilirubin levels ranging from 1.9 to 4.4 mg/dl. The
gallbladder concentrating function seems to per-
sist normally in SS patients with marked elevation
of unconjugated bilirubin. Present studies indicate
that the nonfunctioning gallbladder on cholecys-
togram may be due to a defect in hepatic excretory
function or obstruction of the cystic duct or com-
mon bile duct, but not due to elevated serum
bilirubin, alone. This is an important fact when
evaluating an SS patient with a "nonfunctioning"
cholectstogram. The practitioner should not dis-
miss the possibility of gallstones in the face of a
nonfunctioning gallbladder in an SS patient with
an elevated serum bilirubin. Quite the contrary the
physician should think ofgallstones as his primary
diagnosis if these conditions exist. The diagnosis
must now be ruled out or ruled in with ultrasound
of the gallbladder.
If gallstones are found in the patient with sickle
cell disease, what should the physician recom-
mend for treatment? Most ofthe literature tends to
favor elective surgery (cholecystectomy) in an
asymptomatic SS patient.48 Some feel the princi-
ples of managing cholelithiasis
anemia is the same as that of cholelithiasis due to
other causes.4 The incidence of severe symptoms
and/or complications (pancreatitis, cancer of the
gallbladder) of cholelithiasis in a long-term follow-
up study on 526 nonoperated patients is about 50
percent with an overall mortality of 2.7 percent
within the first five years.9
The physician treating the patient with sickle
cell anemia must be able to differentiate symptoms
of this disease from the symptoms of other inter-
current medical problems. Sickle cell disease af-
fects all organ systems. The associated diseases of
these affected organs are the principal determi-
nants of the treatment required for these patients.
The differential diagnoses for abdominal pain in
the general population are extensive. Detailed his-
tory and complete physical examination, and ap-
propriate laboratory and x-ray procedures are
needed to arrive at the correct diagnosis. The SS
patient with abdominal pain presents the physician
with a diagnostic dilemma and a severe challenge
to his medical acumen. The pain may be caused by
vaso-occlusive crisis, intrahepatic sickling, or an
acute abdominal disorder. The simultaneous oc-
currence of a pain crisis in the patient with an
acute abdominal disorder may further complicate
the problem.
This review on cholelithiasis in the SS patient
presents adequate evidence to urge investigation
of the gallbladder in all patients with hemoglobin
SS diseases and abdominal crises.

Ooh, I love this story! Usually I try to find both negative and positive points to put in a review but I guess that for this story I can't think of any negative points. So I'll just expound on the positive ones Okay so basically your story is so damn funny. John with a teddy bear? Seriously? And I liked how you inserted that line from Obsidian Age. It really was a perfect line and I liked how you used it. Would like to see a sequel and I'm glad you're on the side of BMWW.

Awh:) This is such a sweet story. I love how she put a blanket over Flash after she got him to lye back down, and of course her interaction with Batman was incredibly sweet. I can't stop laughing at the part where WW finds John curled up with a teddy bear and how she had to run out of the room before she internally combusted from laughter:)

A sequel? Hmm... maybe turn the situation around? Have Diana dealing with some nightmares after a particularly hard mission and the gang tries to (unknowingly) return the comfort she gave them? And then, when they all move to leave, Bats hesitates for a moment and allows for a sweet little shippy moment?
