"Dilation and curettage" (D&C) is a short surgical procedure that removes tissue from your uterus (womb). You may need this procedure if you have unexplained or abnormal bleeding, or if you have delivered a baby and placental tissue remains in your womb. D&C also is performed to remove pregnancy tissue remaining from a miscarriage or an abortion.
D&C can be done in a doctor's office or in the hospital. You may be given medications to relax you or to put you to sleep for a short time. Your doctor will slowly widen the opening to your uterus (cervix). Opening your cervix can cause cramping. If this procedure is performed in the doctor's office, you will receive medications that numb your cervix and make it easier to open. After dilating (opening) the cervix, tissue from inside the uterus is removed with a scraping instrument known as a curette, a suction tube, or other specialized instruments.
Your doctor may want to look inside your uterus by inserting a special device called a hysteroscope, which is attached to a camera. A hysteroscope will allow your doctor to see a magnified view of the inside of the uterus. This is especially important if the D&C is done when you are not pregnant, to diagnose a cause for abnormal bleeding.
Most of the time, D&C is safe. Occasionally, complications do occur during or right after surgery. Sometimes, complications will not be discovered until long after the procedure. The possible complications include:
Uterine perforation is when a hole is accidentally made in the uterus by a surgical instrument. Though rare, this is most likely to happen if you have a D&C to control bleeding after you've delivered a baby. The doctor usually will know right away if the uterus has been perforated. Occasionally, a uterine perforation is suspected but not always obvious at the time of the D&C, and then you may need additional surgery to look inside the lower belly.
Either a lighted telescope or an open incision is placed in your belly to see if the organs around your uterus, such as intestines, bladder, or blood vessels, are injured. If any of these organs are injured, they must be repaired with surgery. However, if no other organs have been injured, long-term complications from a perforation are extremely rare and the uterus heals on its own.
Infections can occur after a D&C. If you are not pregnant at the time of your D&C, this complication is extremely rare. However, 10% of women who were pregnant before their D&C can get an infection, usually within 1 week of the procedure. It may be related to a sexually transmitted infection or due to normal bacteria that pass from the vagina into the uterus during or after the procedure. Symptoms often include vaginal discharge, uterine cramping and pain, and fever. These symptoms require immediate attention from a health-care professional and treatment. These infections usually do not result in long-term complications if treated right away. However, in some cases, the infection may scar the uterus, fallopian tubes, or ovaries, which may make it difficult to become pregnant in the future.
Scar tissue formation in the uterus is an uncommon complication in women who have had a D&C. This is referred to as Asherman syndrome. You are at greater risk of scar tissue formation when a D&C is performed after a miscarriage or after/during pregnancy. Using a sharp instrument to remove tissue rather than suction also increases the chances of scar tissue formation. The most common symptoms are very light or missed periods.
Uterine scar tissue can cause difficulty, becoming pregnant or repeated miscarriages. To treat this condition scar tissue is surgically removed with a hysteroscope inserted through the vagina and cervix in order to view the inside of your uterus. Again, hysteroscopy at the time of D&C can be useful so that your doctor can see directly inside the uterus before removing tissue.
Other rare complications of a D&C include tears in the cervix, uterine bleeding, and reactions to anesthesia. These complications usually occur at the time of surgery.

The Hansons are still laughing together after 70 years of marriage. On Dec. 19, 2008 they reached this milestone anniversary. Dorr and Elizabeth live in Huntington. Dorr was born on Oct. 14, 1917 in Ferron at his parents home. He is the son of Harold and Ruby Hanson and was the first grandchild in his grandfather's family. The family history links the family to Copenhagen, Denmark where the traditional spelling of Hanson is with an o, so that's the way Dorr's father chose to spell the family name.
When Dorr was 7 years old the family left Ferron and moved to Millard County. Dorr's father was a principal and taught school so the family moved a lot whenever his father was transferred to a new school.
Dorr graduated from Carbon High in 1935 and from Brigham Young University in 1939. He majored in forest and range management and minored in education.
Elizabeth was born on Oct. 5, 1918 in Price and grew up in Price. She was the first daughter after five boys. Her name is Mary Elizabeth Mathis and she was born to John A. and Pearl Morrison Mathis. She was always known as Elizabeth and her family called her Liz.
"We used to roller skate all over town. That's how we got around. I would get a new pair of roller skates each year for Christmas, because I wore them out. I grew up in a big family and was a good student. In 1944 my mom died at age 44. I was 16 at the time and took over the care of my younger brother and sister and one of my aunts helped out. I was in a bad car accident at that time and had a skull fracture. I spent three months in bed.
"My mom died in September and my accident was in December. I was active in school and was the girls club president and the studentbody vice president. I had to take my senior year again because I had missed so much school with my injury. Dorr used to come around and we would walk down by the railroad track. My dad was a farmer, rancher and cattleman. He had frost bite so bad from being out in a bad storm that they had to cut both his legs off and he wore wooden legs the rest of his life. My mom was just so afraid he was going to die at that time, but she told him, the Lord would make her shoulders strong to carry the burden after his accident.
"I met Dorr in the halls of Carbon High school. He was the red head and he was in the school band. He's one year older than me, but we were both born in October. When he was at school at BYU he still came home to see me," said Elizabeth.
The Hansons were married on Dec. 19, 1938 in the Salt Lake Temple. Elizabeth also attended BYU for one year. After they were married Dorr was very helpful with Elizabeth's family, he helped with their house and also the canning.
Elizabeth said, "We were in poverty times back then. We borrowed his folks car and went to Salt Lake and got married in the temple. We were all on our own. We stayed over one night in a motel. We had borrowed $30 from a bank to go get married on. Dorr's landlady gave us a room for three days and then we hitchhiked home to Price during the school break for Christmas. After we went back to Provo after Christmas we moved in with my two brothers and the rent was $15 a month.
"It was just one living room, with a double bed in it and the kitchen had a fold down bed. There was an old coal range in the kitchen and a toilet and a bathtub and that was about it. My father had given us a quarter of a beef for our wedding present. Dorr brought riches to contribute to the apartment because he had a radio and a typewriter. We were just four students living together, those were happy times. At one time before we got married Dorr boarded with his band teacher, Professor Sauer. Dorr was on a band scholarship.
"I used to do the laundry in the bathtub and hang it out on the line to dry. We did that from December to June and then that summer we came back to Price. Dorr had his teaching certificate now and could teach school. His first job was teaching fifth grade at the Kenilworth school in Carbon County. He taught two and a half years in Kenilworth," said Elizabeth.
Dorr said, "I went to work for the Independent Coal and Coke Company of Kenilworth. Teachers wages were at a poverty level and we just couldn't make it. We lived there in Kenilworth for 19 years."
Elizabeth added that Dorr was a bishop for his church for eight years and he also had a band. At the time they left Kenilworth they had added five children to the family. The Hanson children are: Dorr Jr., Karla Joy, Loel, LeAnn, Colleen, Leslie, Jonathon and adopted grandchild, Tim. They have 51 grandchildren and 41 great-grandchildren.
After working 19 years for the Independent Coal and Coke Company, Dorr went to work for Thiokol in Brigham City. He worked on minuteman missiles and intercontinental missiles for five years when the company transferred him to Pocatello, Idaho where they had bought a naval ordinance facility. They bid on the booster rocket, but lost that contract and the Pocatello facility never really took off.
"We didn't do so well up there. I had always had jobs as the supervisor and department head, and there was plenty of pressure. I had 165 people in my department. I decided to go into business on my own. I also had an offer at Boeing in Seattle, but all at once it came to me in a dream that I needed to go back to the land of my inheritance.
"I took over a plant for selling oil which Errol Litster had run and we moved ourselves from Pocatello to Huntington. We bought a home from Grant Wilson and he sold us some property and we moved the house we bought from Dragerton to our property in Huntington. That was in 1965. It was the best move for us and we have loved it here. We've been in Huntington 43 years now.
"We sold bulk plant petroleum products and I was a distributor all over Eastern Utah and we sold Amoco products. The Castle Valley Co-op eventually bought it and they store their products there," said Dorr.
Elizabeth said, "All of our children have found spouses here and have good marriages. We have always stressed education. We have doctors, dentists, nurses and teachers. We are proud of our children. They look after us very well. We've reversed roles now that Dorr is 91 and I am 90.
"I married a music man and he was a member of the Carbon High Band. In 1933 he went to Chicago with the band. Music has been a big part of our lives. Dorr is the oldest member of the Huntington Glee Club. I sang in the choir until I couldn't see the notes anymore.
"Dorr is also a Silver Beaver and has been active in scouting for 60 years. We taught 4-H for eight years and we had the loud-speakers club, rocks and minerals and science. We also worked with Elaine Hatch in the 4-H.
"Dorr was active in city and county government. He served six years on the city council and was appointed mayor for two years. He was one of the first members of the board of the Castle Valley Special Service District. He served on the board for 21 years and was secretary for 10 years and board chairman for 11 years. Eugene Johansen and Dorr Hanson helped Darrel Leamaster get his job at the district and now Leamaster is ready to retire," said Elizabeth.
Dorr said the years have gone fast. Dorr enjoys fishing and has spent much enjoyable time in the Huntington Canyon area fishing and at Lake Powell. He has taught many scouts to fish over the years. One other thing he did year after year was take the girls camp girls on a five mile hike.
Elizabeth spent her years taking care of her children and in later life she worked for the Emery County Progress doing feature articles and photography. She shot rolls of film and Dorr developed the film for her in the basement.
"I wrote a country living column. Every person has a story to tell. These people let you into their lives and you share their story with others. I used to come as a stranger and leave as a friend. After we got a computer I could type the stories up on a computer. Writing brought in a little income for me.
"We have been very involved with our church and our family. I do miss reading and writing now, because I am nearly blind and can't see to do much. But, I still mix our bread and with Dorr's help we get it baked. I still do the laundry. We came from the era of an outhouse and taking a bath in a tub by the cook stove. We do enjoy TV and all the modern conveniences now. We have fruit trees in our yard and we still can all the fruit from the trees. Our daughter Leslie lives with us and helps out a lot too," said Elizabeth.
Dorr said, "I find cell phones annoying and people shouldn't be driving with them."
Another community event Dorr and Elizabeth worked on was to get the Heritage Days celebration going. They worked with Lund Leonard. They had a boating activity on the lake and started a royalty competition for the girls. The Hansons have been honored citizens for Emery County and also grand marshals for Heritage Days.
Elizabeth taught piano for a time in her home and she is very proud of one of her students, Ben Partis who recently starred in the Man of LaMancha at Emery High. She taught all her grandchldren piano, as much as they wanted to learn.
"I spend time listening to books for the blind and Dorr reads to me. I really like it when Dorr reads to me. I have been active my whole life and it's really hard to be limited and just have to sit around a lot. My sweetheart helps me a lot and I don't know what I would do without him. Right now we are mailing Christmas boxes to all the children. Dorr helped me make the fruit cakes and we made caramel popcorn for all of them. We've tried to keep up all our traditions, but this may be the last year. I can still do a lot of things, if people help me. Dorr does all the shopping.
"I am just so proud of my family and all of their accomplishments. They are so good to us. They put up our Christmas lights and decorations.
"When you get married you need to make a team and pull together. Always lift each other up. Be positive when you talk to each other. Cherish each other, that's what I tell young people getting married; just cherish each other. Dorr is my hero. He still takes me out of the house, which is difficult.
"Out of the nine children in my family I only have one brother left, John Arnold Mathis who is 82. Dorr has all his siblings still alive and he has two brothers, one in Price and one in Salt Lake and a sister in Salt Lake," Elizabeth said.
The Hansons have been able to do some traveling to Palmyra, N.Y. and to Nauvoo, Ill. Their son lives in Washington and they have been there several times. Family is spread out now across the country with a grandson in Pennsylvania and grandchildren in Oklahoma and Colorado.
"We have appreciated everything we have ever had, after getting married in Depression times; you're just thankful for what you have. Learn to laugh together and work together. We are still working together after all these years and without my hero, I just couldn't survive," said Elizabeth.
Dorr offered this advice, "Live within your means and don't get into debt. Don't use credit cards."
After 70 years of marriage this couple is still laughing together and enjoying their time together. They don't take each other for granted and view each other as the best Christmas present ever.

The 2013 Emery High boys golf season got underway this past week when the Spartans traveled to Spanish Fork to play the Spanish Oaks golf course at the mouth of the canyon in the first region golf meet of the season.
Emery, led by senior golfer McKlane Allred, finished second in the region meet behind the Grand High team. Emery finished ahead of South Sevier, North Sevier and San Juan.
Allred, who has been Emery's leading golfer the past three seasons, appears to be the ace of the team again this season. Allred shot an 84 enroute to finishing second individually.
Junior Jordan Fuller finished second for Emery followed by Zane Cologie, also a junior. Teigen Jewkes finished fourth for the Emery team. Mark Debry and Race Nielson each golfed for Emery but their scores were not counted in the team total.
Emery plays this Tuesday at Palisades golf course in Sanpete County and will host their lone golf meet of the season on Sept. 17.

In a future where mankind is scattered across the stars, the Tytania family has forged a large empire through intimidation and economic might. In the year 446, the city-state of EURIA rebels against the tyranny of Tytania control. Their isolated act of rebellion sets into motion a sequence of events that strains the careful alliances and treaties within the empire, as various factions seek to exploit the situation to their own advantage. In the ensuing turmoil, ambitious members of the Tytania Royalty begin moving against each other in an effort to settle old grievances and seize control of the family. What started as an act of rebellion in Euria, quickly expands into a civil war - with the wealth and power of the empire up for grabs to whoever is bold enough to seize it.
Based on a novel-inspired manga series written by TANAKA Yoshiki and illustrated GANTETSU, serialized in Shonen Sirius (Kodansha)
This has been described as being a complicated space opera or epic. The original story was published as a series of three novels (1988 thru 1991), and is open ended - as in no conclusion or ending was ever published!!
The series uses the same director (Noboru Ishiguro) and animation company (Artland) as the space-epic Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
ANBU's doing it, and they're doing a fine job so far
If you are not watching this show, you are doing something wrong.
It's about time the serious large-scale space opera genre got another decent addition to its ranks. If you enjoyed Legend of the Galactic Heroes, you'll eat this one right up. If you're a Narutard, don't bother.
My personal favorite of the new season. ... except
edit - except after watching Casshern SINS, there is no way I can say this show is on that level. Casshern SINS is fucking awesome.

Woodstock. 1 City (1990 pop. 14,353) seat of McHenry co., NE Ill.; inc. 1845. In a grain and dairying area, the city has food processing and produces paper products, medical equipment, machinery, and chemicals.
2 Town (1990 pop. 1,870), Ulster co., SE N.Y., in an area of fruit and dairy farms, at the foothills of the Catskill Mts. The Woodstock Guild manages an artists' colony there (Byrdcliffe, opened 1903) and sponsors exhibits. The Art Students League of New York also had a summer school in the town (1906–22, 1947–79); an art school is now there.
Woodstock gave its name to the most famous of the music festivals of the 1960s and 70s, actually held (Aug., 1969) near Bethel, N.Y., c.45 mi (70 km) to the southwest. The name Woodstock has since signified the 1960s heyday of rock music and the youth counterculture movement. In Aug., 1994, a 25th-anniversary Woodstock concert was held in Saugerties, N.Y., c.7 mi (11 km) east of Woodstock.

For almost 30 years, Mario has been entertaining people the world over in some of the best games of all time. With such a long history, theres a mountain of trivia and seemingly useless facts to learn about the franchise. Weve wasted our lives collecting much of this info, bringing together facts both great and small about Mario and his friends. Curious about Super Mario Bros 4, how Mario was once Popeye, or the secret voice of a Super Mario Galaxy boss? Read on
Mario was depicted as bald in early Donkey Kong merchandise
Though Nintendo has portrayed Mario hatless with hair many times since the NES hit store shelves, before then the rules weren't as defined. In many of the early Donkey Kong merch, artists in the US frequently drew Mario as balding. Perhaps Mario picked up a particularly good wig after he had the money on consoles. That would explain why his mustache and hair are different colors.
Japan got a version of Excitebike that starred Mario
Excitebike: Mario Battle Stadium is easily one of the most obscure Mario titles. Released on the Super Famicom's Satellaview, an early experiment in online gaming. Featuring only a few of the usual Mario characters, it was only available for download on the service, though it can still be found through less legal means.
Supercade was the first Super Mario cartoon
Think Super Mario Bros Super Show or an obscure anime film are the first Mario cartoons? Wrong, it was the forgotten Saturday morning treat Supercade, a show that featured cartoons based on arcade hits including Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Junior. Pretty much out of print, you can find some of the episodes on that internet repository known as YouTube.
Mario was considered for Sega All-Stars Racing
After Sega did Nintendo the favor of lending Sonic to Super Smash Bros Brawl, its only fair that Nintendo would pay Sega back with a Mario cameo. Outside of the Olympic games the two shared, it hasnt happened, though it almost did in the first Sega All-Stars Racing for Wii. As revealed in an interview Mario considered for the mascot racer, but was ultimately scrapped in an effort to make the Olympic titles more unique. In a strange turn of events, former N64 stars Banjo and Kazooie did end up in the 360 version of the game.
Mario and Luigi are twins that were born in the Mushroom Kingdom
The Mario cartoons of the 90s may have given the impression that Mario and Luigi are from New York City, but at far as Nintendo is concerned, the brothers were born in the Mushroom Kingdom. As seen at the end of Yoshi's Island, a stork delivers the newborns to a toadstool house similar to the ones that cover the Princess Peach's realm. Also, we'd still call Mario the older brother, since he left his bundle first.
The Warp Whistle in Super Mario 3 is from Legend of Zelda
For many players, the Warp Whisltes hidden throughout Super Mario Bros 3 was their only hope for finishing the game in one sitting. But the handy travel accessories weren't a Mario original, and instead the instrument was borrowed from the first Legend of Zelda. The distinct musical notes played by the whistle are even the same.
Kamek was almost in Mario Kart 64
Kamek, Bowser's right hand Koopa and head of the Magikoopas, has appeared in many Mario titles, but rarely as a playable option. But as early screenshots of Mario Kart 64 prove, they almost appeared in the classic racer. For unexplained reasons, he was replaced by Donkey Kong.
Luigi's Mansion was once planned as a 3D game
Luigis Mansion getting a long-overdue sequel on the 3DS was quite a surprise, but the reasoning for it caused an even bigger shock. The sequel came about after original Luigis Mansion stages were rebuilt on the handheld to test out the 3D. Why was that game chosen to test the new feature? Because the GameCube was originally intended to have optional 3D visuals and Luigis Mansion was developed with those capabilities in mind. The functional 3D version never left testing, but now Luigi can reach his full graphical potential in the sequel.
Mario was once a bad guy
In Mario's second ever gaming appearance, Donkey Kong Junior, the mustachioed star did something he's never done since: played the bad guy. As punishment for his crimes in the first came, Donkey Kong has been imprisoned by the whip-wielding Mario. DK's son tries his best to free him in spite of Mario's deadly traps and utter disregard for Junior's life. Series creator Shigeru Miyamoto has said he did this to show shades of grey in both Mario and DK, with neither being all bad or good.
Nintendo trademarked "It's on like Donkey Kong"
Popularized by one-time gangsta rapper Ice Cube, "It's on like Donkey Kong," has now entered the popular lexicon. Back in 2010, in part to popularize the release of Donkey Kong Country Returns, Nintendo formally announced plans to register a trademark for the phrase. It now joins the ranks of "Let's get ready to rumble!" (wait, can we be sued for writing that?).
Nintendo cancelled a Mario volleyball game
Next Level Games has become one of Nintendos closest third party developers of late, creating Punch-Out!! for Wii and the upcoming Luigis Mansion sequel. The dev also created two of Marios sports games: the intense soccer titles Super Mario Strikers and Mario Strikers Charged. In 2011, it was revealed the team had worked on a volley ball game as well; unfortunately, it wasnt released. A short demo video is all thats left to prove it existed.
Bowser's original name was King Koopa
The first Super Mario Bros introduced so much of Mario mythology, though some of it has been retroactively abandoned. For instance, arch nemesis Bowser was known as King Koopa, a fairly accurate translation of his Japanese name. He's since become known as Bowser, though we suppose his title would remain King of the Koopas.
New Super Mario Bros Wii originally had a Chicken power-up
As seen in these official images leaked onto the web, Nintendo once played with the idea of a chicken suit transformation for the NSMB characters. Eventually Nintendo decided to use penguins instead, which we have to say is a little more dignified.
Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Country was full of the cheeky sense of humor developer Rare is known for, and the belligerent Cranky Kong was one of the funniest parts. He continually complained about how terrible current games are compared to the old days, continually talking about his adventures as the Donkey Kong of the arcade originals. Since he's the grandfather of the Donkey Kong in DKC, just where is Donkey Kong Junior?
Super Mario Galaxy boss Major Burrows is voiced by the game's director
Recently we had the pleasure of meeting Koichi Hayashida, one of the lead designers on recent 3D Mario titles, including the Galaxy games and 3D Land. He revealed that players might even recognize his voice, as he supplied the vocals for Galaxy boss Major Burrows. That must be one of the perks of directing a video game.
Mario breaks bricks with his fists
One of the core ideas of the Mario series is jumping up and hitting bricks. You do it countless times every playthrough, but the moment happens so fast, you might mistakenly think Mario is breaking them with his head. If you look closely in a freeze frame, you'll see his fist hits the bricks first, which is a slightly safer way of doing things (but still, don't try it at home).
Princess Peach's dress has changed over time
Its a clich, but its true that sometimes its easy to miss when a woman makes a change in her clothing. Many Mario fans no doubt missed Princess Peachs swapped outfit: From the first Super Mario Bros all the way through the N64s lifecycle, Peach sported the look on the left, but sometime around her appearance in Super Mario Sunshine, the hemline of darker pink was thrown out and a cloth called panniers were added to the waist, giving her the standard looks she still has today.
Shake your 3DS to get a surprise in Super Mario 3D Land
Super Mario 3D Land is one of the 3DS's premiere titles, and when we talked to the game's director, Koichi Hayashida, he clued us in to some of the game's secrets. For instance, you get multiple photos from Princess Peach as the story unfolds, but many missed the interactive bits. Shake your portable and you'll see different characters and items pop up in the background. Give it a try!
That thing at the end of the bridge is an ax
When we were kids, we thought the item behind Bowser in the original Super Mario Bros was a switch of some kind that pulled back a drawbridge. How foolish we were. It's actually an ax that Mario uses the cut the rope bridge to send Bowser to his fiery death.
Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi are all voiced by the same guy
We wish we had the kind of job security of Charles Martinet. Ever since Super Mario 64 the actor has been Mario's voice in virtually every game he's appeared in since. But he isn't limited to Mario, as he does voices for all the alternate versions of the Italian, including Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and the Baby versions of said characters.
Donkey Kong was originally a Popeye game
Back in the early 1980s, a young Shigeru Miyamoto was working on his first game, one featuring cartoon character Popeye climbing up scaffolding to save Olive Oyl from Bluto. Unfortunately, Nintendo had just lost the rights to make games based on Popeye, so Miyamoto and his team hand to think of something else. They replaced Bluto with a gorilla, Olive with Pauline, spinach with a hammer, and Popeye with Mario, and the rest is history.
Kuribo is the Japanese name for Goombas
When we first heard that the highly desirable footwear power-up in Mario 3 was Kuribo's Shoe, we were perplexed. We later found out the green shoe was named after its occupant, the Kuribo, which is the Japanese name for Goombas. In remakes of SMB3 the name has been switched Goomba's Shoe, though they're still known as Kuribos in Japan.
In Mario Golf, Luigi does sign language for "lesbian"
Probably without intending to, Mario Golf taught many a word of American Sign Language. After sinking a birdie, Luigi makes an "L" with his thumb and forefinger while striking a pose. Turns out that in ASL, that means "Lesbian." We're sure that's very useful for all of you.
The first Mario Triple Jump was in Donkey Kong for Game Boy
Ever since Mario moved into the third dimension, the triple jump has been one of his best attributes, used by more skilled Mario players to quickly clear a stage. But the ability actually made its first appearance in a 2D game: 1994s Donkey Kong for Game Boy. You start from a handstand and after carefully executing a couple well-timed jumps he can achieve heights formerly unreachable. Mario even sticks his hands out in celebration after the third jump, just like he does in Super Mario 64, so clearly Miyamotos team was inspired by it.
The grass and clouds in Super Mario Bros are the same
This spread around the internet a couple years ago, so maybe you heard of this, but do you know why it's the same? According to Mario development veteran Takeshi Tezuka, it was because the game could only hold 256 unique elements, so for the sake of space, they had to double up.
Princess Peach was once Princess Toadstool
Much like Bowser/King Koopa, Peach has a name she's left behind. She's always been Peach in Japan, but in the US she was Princess Toadstool in older titles. She permanently changed to Peach in Super Mario 64, though she was first called Princess Peach in English in the forgotten SNES title Yoshi's Safari.
The ending to Donkey Kong for Game Boy connects it to Super Mario Bros
If you never played the Donkey Kong for the original Game Boy, download the Virtual Console version to you 3DS this instant. If you finish all 100 levels of the ingenious puzzle-platformer, you'll see an ending that that cleverly connects it to both Donkey Kong Junior and Super Mario Bros. Complete the title to see it for yourself.
Diddy Kong originally designed to be Donkey Kong Jr
The Donkey Kong series had been pretty quiet until Rare took it over in the early 90s with Donkey Kong Country. When Rare was first designing the game, the plan was for Donkey Kong to be accompanied by a second player as Donkey Kong Junior. But Nintendo felt Rares redesign for the ape was too extreme. Given the choice, Rare kept the redesign and renamed him Diddy Kong.
Super Mario Bros 2's ending is foreshadowed from the beginning
After plugging the NES cartridge for Super Mario Bros 2, we were confused by how different it was from the last Mario title, with weird new enemies and physics. We now know that's because it was a reskinned, non-Mario title, but the in-game reasoning was that it all took place in Mario's mind, which most people could tell ahead of time if they bothered to read the instruction manual. The game takes place in Subcon, short for Mario's subconscious.
The first d-pad was on a Mario game
The analogue stick may be more prominent these days, but its hard to imagine that gaming would be where it is today without the d-pad. Short for directional pad, the familiar cross design was created by Nintendo for a Mario game. When Gunpei Yokoi and his team worked on a Game & Watch version of Donkey Kong, they came upon the upon the design as a straightforward way to control 2D movement, and the simple concept (that Nintendo holds the patent for) has been around ever since.
Geno from Super Mario RPG has appeared in one other game
The characters of Super Mario RPG have a rabid fan base, but due to legal red tape, all the characters created for the that game have never appeared elsewhere, with one exception. The first Mario & Luigi, subtitled Superstar Saga, was developed by some of the Mario RPG crew, so they included a tribute to that title. One of Superstar Saga's minigames is hosted by Geno, or at least the doll that Geno once inhabited.
The P in P-Wing stands for Paratroopa
Always confused why the level-skipping item was known as a P-Wing? As explained by a Mario developer, the P-Wing represents one of the wings used by the flying turtles known as Paratroopas. Meaning some poor Paratroopa had to be maimed just so you could skip a stage that was too tough for you.
Japan got a version of Super Mario 64 that used the Rumble Pak
Though it's hardly the case anymore, in 1996 Nintendo was still releasing games months or even years earlier in Japan than in the US. One of the upsides for the US is our versions would sometimes be tweaked, fixing bugs that were found in the Japanese versions. That happened with Super Mario 64 and Nintendo eventually rereleased the game in Japan with those change and one final update: it used the newly released Rumble Pak. Sadly, Americans never got their own shaking version of the iconic launch game.
Tatanga, the final boss of Super Mario Land, makes one other appearance in Super Mario Land 2
Bowser and Mario seem to be locked in a war without end, but there are a handful of bad guys that have also been the lead villain in a Mario game. Wart and Wario come to mind, but strangest of all is the purple alien Tatanga, who kidnapped Princess Daisy in the Game Boy launch title Super Mario Land. After that, he sank into obscurity - though he did appear one last time, as the boss of the space stages in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. He hasnt been seen since, though who knows if Nintendo wont dig him up at some point.
A world in Super Mario Bros 3 is shaped like Japan
In the liquid-heavy world known Water Land, Super Mario 3 had a clever homage to its country of origin. The final area of the map looks unmistakably like the islands that make up the nation of Japan, and the castle is placed where one would find the city of Kyoto. Not coincidentally, Kyoto is where Nintendo's business headquarters is located.
Boo was based on a developers wife
First appearing in Super Mario Bros 3, Boos have become an indispensable enemy in the Mario series. The monsters origins come from an incident in co-designer Takeshi Tezukas life according to an interview with Miyamoto. He said, Mr. Tezuka got an idea about putting his wife in the game. His wife is very quiet normally, but one day she exploded, maddened by all the time he spent at work. In the game, there is now a character who shrinks when Mario looks at it, but when Mario turns away, it will grow large and menacing."
There already was a Super Mario 4
In Japan at least. When Super Mario World hit stores in Japan, the game was subtitled Super Mario Bros 4, perhaps to prevent any confusion. Strangely enough, in America Yoshi's Island was also known as Super Mario World 2, though that wasn't included in the Japanese title.
Super Mario Bros 3 was out in Japan almost two years before the US got it
20 years ago it took a shockingly long time for games to make it from Japan to the US- if they even got localized at all. That was the case with Super Mario Bros 3, which hit Japanese retailers in 1988 and the US in 1990. That also explains how SMB3 could appear in the 1989 film The Wizard before it even landed in US stores.
Super Mario Land 2 features Nintendo's real life version of LEGO
Super Mario Land 2 had an interesting mix of themed stages, including a world filled with toys. Here Mario runs over blocks that look exactly like LEGOs, but then players run by an "N&B" label. That was the name of Nintendo's own series of building blocks that they sold in the 1960s, a stealthy reference to the decades of Nintendo history that predates their entry into the games market.
Super Mario Bros 2 boss Wart appears in Link's Awakening
Outside of a Smash Bros trophy here and there, Super Mario 2s Boss hasnt shown anywhere near the longevity of a Mario villain like Bowser. Although his name is dropped in Super Paper Mario and Mario Superstars Baseball, as well as an alleged son appearing in Animal Crossing, Wart has never physically appeared again in a single Mario game for more than two decades. However, a very recognizable Wart appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening under his original Japanese moniker, Mamu, and actually teaches Link his last song on the Ocarina!

The Christian Trinity consists of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, as established by the Nicene Creed of 325 AD. The Trinity refers to the three parts that make up the one God, all co-equal, and all forming one God.
Although it is never made explicit in the Bible, the concept of the Trinity is embraced by the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church, and nearly all Protestant denominations. The name was coined by the Church Father Tertullian (145-220 AD). It is based on inferences from texts emphasizing the closeness of God-the-Father and Jesus (such as Rom. 8:31-34), the role of the Holy Ghost, and especially the baptismal formula in Matt. 28:19
- Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
The Trinity is remembered in worship in liturgical churches each year on Trinity Sunday, the Sunday after Pentecost.
A good illustration is H2O. It can take three forms, all of which are considered water. In the same way, God exists as three distinct but united persons.
The Arians of the 4th century denied the Trinity. They were condemned as heretics and they died out, but Arian ideas appeared in Europe after 1500. Isaac Newton was secretly an Arian. By the mid-18th century Unitarianism had emerged in England, and it spread to the U.S. by 1800. It dominated schools like Harvard by 1820.
In the 20th century Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in the Trinity, and see it as contradicting the commandment to have no god but the one God.[1] Jehovah Witnesses disparage the Trinity by depicting it as a three-headed creature and claim the doctrine as a corrupt addition by Satan to Christianity.
Islam has taught that the Trinity is Father, Son, and Mother (the Virgin Mary).

Rick David Joseph Gutierrez, age 47, died peacefully at home on May 26, 2006 after a long hard battle with diabetes.

He was a coal miner and worked for US Fuel Company, Local #6363 in Hiawatha for many years.
Ricky's special talent and favorite pastime was playing his guitar, which he did so well. He performed for many occasions throughout the years. His dad, Ray Gutierrez, was also a very talented and well know local musician. He taught Ricky to play the guitar at the tender age of only 3 years old. Ricky's tiny hands weren't even big enough to wrap around the guitar neck, so he would lay the guitar across his lap and use his thumb to glide it along the top of the guitar's neck just to play the songs he had learned. He played the guitar like that until he was 10 years old. It was amazing, Ricky's first public performance with his dad was at the Carbon Country Club. He was only 5 years old at that time.
Regardless if he had a good day or a bad day, he was always there for you, just as we were for him. He always had that special joke just for you. It always made him feel better when he knew he could make you laugh.
Ricky, we're all going to miss you so much. You were our heart and soul. We love you, and if you can still do it, please take our pain away.
Ricky is survived by his two children, David Gutierrez and Jennifer Gutierrez of Fairview, Okla.

Comfy, but too big in the calf
"I really really love these boots. They are super comfy, but I had to return them. I wanted to wear them with skinny jeans and the calf is just too big around and they hit right below my knee so they looked really funny. But on someone with bigger legs they would be cute."

I'm walking down Fifth Avenue, approaching Grand Army Plaza. It's March and the bare trees offer a clear view of the tall buildings on the other side of Central Park. The skyline from this vantage point in Manhattan is newly dominated by One57, Christian de Portzamparc's skinny 75-story tower, under construction on West 57th Street. This oligarchs' aerie will be the tallest residential building in the city, but with its curved top, it's about as poetic as an elongated Braun toothbrush.
Most of the tall buildings in my view are equally banal. The tops of the two dark towers of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill's Time Warner Center, adorned with a few mysterious slots, are as blankly expressive as Darth Vader's helmet; Norman Foster, Hon. FAIA's Brancusi-like Hearst Tower is abruptly truncated when it reaches the 46th floor; and the less said about the pedestrian Trump International Hotel and Tower, the better. The silhouette of Robert A.M. Stern, FAIA's 15 Central Park West is the best of the bunch, but its rather pallid rendition of a prewar apartment building doesn't exactly make my heart sing.
Things get a little better along Central Park South. If you ignore the garish red neon sign on its roof, the Art Deco Essex House is pretty interesting, though not as striking as the Hampshire House next door, which starts with a series of stepped terraces facing the park and terminates in a châteauesque roof and two tall chimneys. And if I look to the north I can just make out the two tempietto-topped towers of the San Remo. All three buildings date from the 1930s, when American architects such as Emery Roth (the San Remo), Caughey & Evans (the Hampshire House), and Frank Grad (the Essex House) knew something that most contemporary architects seem to have forgotten: how to celebrate tallness.
I suppose the amnesia began with the International Style, which insisted that all buildings, short or tall, have a flat roof. What is easy to forget is that in the 1950s, when the Lever House and the Seagram Building were built, modernist towers in New York were relatively rare, and amid a lively roofscape of steeples, temples, domes, and assorted pitched roofs, the stolid boxes had a certain stylish aplomb—like someone showing up at a black-tie dinner in sneakers. But skylines composed entirely of flat-tops are deadly.
That most American city skylines today are animated—especially at night—is probably due to the lingering influence of Post-Modernism. While Philip Johnson and John Burgee, FAIA's Chippendale highboy top on the Sony Tower appears pretty tame today—it doesn't hold a candle to the San Remo—Johnson did push skyscraper design in a more creative direction. I recently saw his and Burgee's "Gothic" PPG Place in Pittsburgh which, while not as evocative as Cass Gilbert's steeple-like Woolworth Building, has stood the test of time remarkably well. So has their Pennzoil Place in Houston, still one of their best skyscraper designs.
Of course, PoMo itself didn't last, and architects turned in other directions. Perhaps the two most striking skyscrapers of the early 2000s are Foster's 30 St Mary Axe in London and Jean Nouvel, Hon. FAIA's Torre Agbar in Barcelona, both circular in plan and both rocket-like in form. Still, the fact that these buildings are popularly known as "the Gherkin" and "el supositori" (the suppository), respectively, suggests that the public sees them as odd rather than uplifting.
Renzo Piano, Hon. FAIA, topped the New York Times Building (2007) with a crown by extending the sunscreen six stories into the air beyond the roof. From afar, the delicate corona is barely visible, but what is conspicuous is a 298-foot-tall mast—not an antenna but a sculpture. Since most tall buildings are topped by actual transmission towers, putting a nonfunctioning mast on a building strikes me as an ineffectual gesture. It does get the New York Times Building into the record books (as the fourth-tallest building in the city), since the top of the mast reaches an elevation of 1,046 feet, which is exactly the height of the mast of the Chrysler Building.
William Van Alen, the architect of the Chrysler (completed in 1930), integrated that building's mast into the design; he didn't simply stick it on top. But that is exactly what SOM did at One World Trade Center. There, the mast—a real antenna this time—reaches the 1,776-foot mark, making this the tallest building in the United States, at least according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, which adjudicates such things. Tall it may be, but its insubstantial exclamation mark appears lackluster compared to the robust sculptural mast atop the Empire State Building, say, or Chrysler's lyrical pinnacle. Peter Sagal, the host of National Public Radio's Wait Wait … Don't Tell Me, had it right late last year when he called One World Trade Center's so-called sculptural antenna "the comb-over of architecture."
With the London Shard (2012), Piano adopted a different strategy. He made the entire building into a spike, something that Foster had explored in the earlier (unbuilt) Millennium Tower in Tokyo. The Shard strikes me as oddly insubstantial, perhaps because the façades are composed of overlapping planes. The first spiky high-rise was surely Frank Lloyd Wright's proposed mile-high skyscraper, the Illinois, an impressive 1956 drawing of which is currently on display in the Museum of Modern Art's "Frank Lloyd Wright and the City" exhibition. But unlike Foster and Piano, Wright did not make his spire smooth. Instead, he introduced a series of jagged setbacks as the building got progressively taller, which is a more effective strategy: The building appears to push its way up into the sky. Had Wright's mile-high skyscraper been built, I doubt it would have acquired a jokey nickname. People don't make fun of buildings they admire.
Why do skyscrapers of an earlier period—even unbuilt ones like Wright's—seem so much more convincing in their verticality than today's designs? I think these earlier architects understood that the essence of a skyscraper was uplift. They had studied church and cathedral spires, and the role of proportion, details, and silhouette in creating the impression of upward thrust. Christopher Wren's church spires offer a veritable tutorial. As Geoffrey Scott explained in his classic, The Architecture of Humanism: "A spire, when well designed, appears—as common language testifies—to soar. We identify ourselves, not with its actual downward pressure, but its apparent upward impulse. … We transcribe architecture into terms of ourselves."
John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood understood soaring when they designed the effervescent top of Chicago's Tribune Tower, which is based on the Late Gothic "Butter Tower" of Rouen Cathedral. So did Eliel Saarinen, whose masterful second-place entry in that 1922 competition achieves the vertical thrust of Gothic architecture while dispensing with Gothic forms. The pinnacles and subtle setbacks of Saarinen's design influenced Hood in his later tall buildings, such as the American Radiator Building on Bryant Park, the Daily News Building, and his masterpiece of skyscraper design, the RCA Building at Rockefeller Center, now called the GE Building.
It's difficult to point to skyscrapers today that measure up to Hood's achievement. The Burj Khalifa, designed by Adrian Smith, FAIA, and SOM, and completed in 2010 in Dubai, comes close to capturing the upward impulse that Scott alluded to. But photographs of the façade (I haven't visited the building) suggest a degree of standardization and repetition—and an absence of scale as the building rises—that risks producing an impression of monotony. Still, the Burj Khalifa is more convincing than the other skyscrapers that have cropped up in Dubai or Shanghai and Beijing, with their twisting and turning, bending and leaning, shimmying and shaking.
Having exhausted the repertoire of funny shapes, some skyscraper designers have recently turned to "cut-and-paste architecture," as The Guardian referred to the Office for Metropolitan Architecture's De Rotterdam project. Retro Miesian boxes are deconstructed and reassembled in slightly haphazard fashion, like so many giant toy blocks. SHoP Architects takes a similar approach in their B2 Bklyn project, as does Frank Gehry, FAIA, in three 80-story towers proposed for Toronto. Reviving midcentury modernism in this mannered fashion is bizarre to say the least.
Today's skyscrapers can amaze, surprise, shock, and sometimes even frighten. But they do not engage us in the way that Scott described. They make us feel puny rather than uplifted. He might have called it the architecture of inhumanism.

The Long Day Closes
Terence Davies' blissful, evocative and non-narrative follow-up to his Distant Voices, Still Lives follows a few months in the life of 12-year-old Bud (Leigh McCormack), in impressionistic snatches of his everyday existence growing up in the Liverpool of 1956. Bud's world is influenced by his mother (Marjorie Yates), his older sister Helen (Ayse Owens), and his older brothers John (Nicholas Lamont) and Kevin (Anthony Watson). Bud is a lonely and quiet child whose moments of solace occur when he sits in rapture at the local cinema, watching towering and iconic figures on the movie screen. The movies give Bud the strength to get through another day as he deals with his oppressive school environment and his burgeoning homosexuality.~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

The Bulls opened an eight-point gap at the top of the South African conference with a 30-25 victory over the Cheetahs on Saturday.
The Bulls opened an eight-point gap at the top of the South African Super Rugby conference with a 30-25 victory over the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
The result leaves the Bulls two points behind the Chiefs at the top of the overall standings as they continued their unbeaten run against the Cheetahs in Super Rugby.
The sides scored three tries apiece in a hard-fought, high-tempo clash.
The Bulls held a deserved 17-10 lead at the end of a highly-entertaining first half that featured tries from Bulls prop Werner Kruger, flank Deon Stegmann and Cheetahs wing Willie le Roux.
Bulls replacement scrum-half Jano Vermaak, Cheetahs fly-half Riaan Smit and replacement prop Nyakane added tries in a far more tactical second half that saw Morne Steyn's accurate boot play an influential role.
The Bulls impressed with their intensity from the kick-off and the Cheetahs defended bravely to limit the blue armada to just two tries before the interval.
The visitors drew first blood when a patient build up – highlighted by a few charges by Chiliboy Ralepelle – ended with Kruger hitting the line at pace and crashing over in the corner.
Morne Steyn added the extras but the home side replied soon afterwards with great solo try from le Roux, who scored under the sticks after collecting his own clever chip over the top.
The Bulls struck again at the end of the first quarter when Stegmann scored off the back of classic rolling maul and Steyn converted.
Riaan Smit pulled three points back for the Cheetahs when the Bulls scrum was put under pressure but Steyn restored the seven-point gap on the stroke of half time.
The Cheetahs were first to score after the interval as Smit found the target after another scrum penalty against the Bulls but Steyn duly replied with two more penalties to leave the scores at 23-13 on the hour mark.
The visitors looked to have landed the killer blow when Vermaak raced clear to score behind the posts but Robert Ebersohn showed great hands to put Smit away to score in the corner and keep the Cheetahs in the hunt at 30-18.
Nyakane needed some help from the TMO to score a late bonus-point saving try for the Cheetahs as he stretched out an arm despite the attentions of a gang of Bulls defenders.
The scorers:
For Cheetahs:
Tries: le Roux, Smit, Nyakane
Cons: Smit 2
Pens: Smit 2

Tries: Kruger, Stegmann, Vermaak

Pope John Paul II's "Healing of Memories" Between the Orthodox East and the Catholic West
In Damascus, Syria on May 7, 2001, Pope John Paul II is helped by Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregorios Laham III after praying at the Church of St. Paul on the Wall. (photo: Enric Marti/AFP/Getty Images)
As the world watches Pope John Paul II being beatified, I want to reflect on one phrase he used almost from the beginning of his papacy through to the end, a phrase of great significance for human psychology, human history, and human harmony: the "healing of memories."
When he was elected in 1978, his fellow cardinal and Pole, Stefan Wyszyński, reportedly told John Paul that the latter's mission was to lead the Church into the third millennium. To do that, the pope began laying the groundwork by dealing with some of the problems from the first and second millennia. Memories of those problems — divisions among Christians, persecution, the use of violence to propagate the faith — continued to haunt the church.
As a phenomenologist with an acute insight into the human condition, the pope knew that memories of past hurts must be acknowledged before one can move on. He wanted the Church to move on freely and joyfully into the third millennium, and so he made it a priority to work for the healing of memories.
Of those memories whose healing he not only called for but actively worked towards, none were as long-standing as the memories of division between Western and Eastern Christians. Christians have memories of three periods of especially painful division: the aftermath of the Council of Chalcedon in 451, in which Christians in Syria, Egypt, and Armenia divided from the rest of the Church over the question of the nature of Christ; the so-called Great Schism of 1054, when the leaders of the Church of Rome and the Church of Constantinople attempted to excommunicate one another; and then, of course, the Western divisions of the sixteenth-century Reformation.
John Paul felt that the East-West split was the one with the greatest possibility of being healed, perhaps even in his lifetime. That view was a touch too optimistic, perhaps even naive, but it was charming and inspiring in its hopefulness.
He did more to advance East-West healing than any pope before him. No other pope, for example, had ever written a fulsome letter like John Paul did in his 1995 encyclical Ut Unum Sint, asking humbly for other Christians to tell him what was wrong with his office and how to fix it. Such a request was, and is, utterly unprecedented in papal history.
On November 27, 2004, Pope John Paul II embraces Orthodox Patriarch of Constantinople Bartholomew I during an Ecumenical Celebration at St. Peter's Basilica. The Pontiff also returned relics of two early Christian saints aiming to establish unity among the two Christian churches. (photo: Franco Origlia/Getty Images)
How did the Christian East respond? Here we see anew the importance of healing memories. Too many Eastern Orthodox Christians, in 1995 and still today, looked on the papal request as a ruse designed to trick them into surrendering. One Orthodox priest I know — who works with Catholics daily and is very open and friendly — said that John Paul's request was a bit like being "hugged by a bear." He wants to love you, and you want to let him love you, but you have memories of being mauled in the past and the scars to show it, so you remain mistrustful.
That mistrust, sadly, remains high among many Eastern Christians, of whom I am one. When you have a thousand years — and more — of division behind you, it takes time to overcome such longstanding memories of division and discord. What is especially sad and difficult to see are those Eastern Christians who have no interest in letting go of their hurts, who refuse all healing because they think — like people who believe childhood vaccines cause autism no matter how many times the science debunks this nonsense — that the "medicine" will kill them. When the pope talks about the healing of memories, some regard him as a kind of Dr. Evil figure, uttering soothing platitudes designed only to brainwash unsuspecting Orthodox into accepting their new status as automatons under papal domination and control.
How does one heal memories, both legitimate and neurotic — if not psychotic? Here I find the work of the French Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas — whom John Paul surely read — to be very important. Levinas's great insights were what he called the "ethics of the face" and the dangers of abstraction. For Levinas, in the aftermath of the Holocaust, he knew that it is much easier to malign someone, to be dismissive of and divided from others — even to kill them — when I do not have to acknowledge their humanity and look them in the face. I can abstractly consign someone to a racial, ethnic, or religious category and thereby dehumanize them.
But if I undergo what Levinas stressed repeatedly — the face-to-face encounter — then it is much harder for me to dismiss someone as a "dirty papist," a "perfidious Byzantine" or a "Russian schismatic." The face-to-face encounter is the beginning of the healing of memories of past hurts and divisions.
That is why it is so important for Catholics and Orthodox — Eastern and Western Christians — to begin to engage one another on the most basic level: in their neighborhoods, in their local communities, wherever they find themselves working, playing, and praying together. Once we acknowledge our shared humanity and begin to build not merely bridges but friendships and relationships, we not only heal past memories but create new ones in proleptic remembrance (what Scripture calls anamnesis) of the unity that is happening and is to come.
As we honor the memory of Pope John Paul II, by any measure one of the outstanding figures of our time, we have to continue his work of healing the memories of East-West division so that Christians may be united so that the world may believe (John 17:21).
