Monday, August 6, 1945, in Hiroshima. A few seconds after 8:15 A.M., a flash of light, brighter than a thousand suns, shredded the space over the city's center. A gigantic sphere of fire, a prodigious blast, a formidable pillar of smoke and debris rose into the sky: an entire city annihilated as it was going to work, almost vaporized at the blast's point zero, irradiated to death, crushed and swept away. Its thousands of wooden houses were splintered and soon ablaze, its few stone and brick buildings smashed, its ancient temples destroyed, its schools and barracks incinerated just as classes and drills were beginning, its crowded streetcars upended, their passengers buried under the wreckage of streets and alleys crowded with people going about their daily business. A city of 300,000 inhabitants—more, if its large military population was counted, for Hiroshima was headquarters for the southern Japan command. In a flash, much of its population, especially in the center, was reduced to a mash of burned and bleeding bodies, crawling, writhing on the ground in their death agonies, expiring under the ruins of their houses or, soon, roasted in the fire that was spreading throughout the city—or fleeing, half-mad, with the sudden torrent of nightmare-haunted humanity staggering toward the hills, bodies naked and blackened, flayed alive, with charcoal faces and blind eyes.
Is there any way to describe the horror and the pity of that hell? Let a victim tell of it. Among the thousand accounts was this one by a Hiroshima housewife, Mrs. Futaba Kitayama, then aged thirty-three, who was struck down 1900 yards—just over a mile—from the point of impact. We should bear in mind that the horrors she described could be multiplied a hundredfold in the future.
"It was in Hiroshima, that morning of August 6. I had joined a team of women who, like me, worked as volunteers in cutting firepaths against incendiary raids by demolishing whole rows of houses. My husband, because of a raid alert the previous night, had stayed at the Chunichi (Central Japan Journal), where he worked.
"Our group had passed the Tsurumi bridge, Indianfile, when there was an alert; an enemy plane appeared all alone, very high over our heads. Its silver wings shone brightly in the sun. A woman exclaimed, 'Oh, look—a parachute!' I turned toward where she was pointing, and just at that moment a shattering blast filled the whole sky.
"Was it the flash that came first, or the sound of the explosion, tearing up my insides? I don't remember. I was thrown to the ground, pinned to the earth, and immediately the world began to collapse around me, on my head, my shoulders. I couldn't see anything. It was completely dark. I thought my last hour had come. I thought of my three children, who had been evacuated to the country to be safe from the raids. I couldn't move; debris kept falling, beams and tiles piled up on top of me.
"Finally I did manage to crawl free. There was a terrible smell in the air. Thinking the bomb that hit us might have been a yellow phosphorus incendiary like those that had fallen on so many other cities, I rubbed my nose and mouth hard with a tenugui (a kind of towel) I had at my waist. To my horror, I found that the skin of my face had come off in the towel. Oh! The skin on my hands, on my arms, came off too. From elbow to fingertips, all the skin on my right arm had come loose and was hanging grotesquely. The skin of my left hand fell off too, the five fingers, like a glove.
"I found myself sitting on the ground, prostrate. Gradually I registered that all my companions had disappeared. What had happened to them? A frantic panic gripped me, I wanted to run, but where? Around me was just debris, wooden framing, beams and roofing tiles; there wasn't a single landmark left.
"And what had happened to the sky, so blue a moment ago? Now it was as black as night. Everything seemed vague and fuzzy. It was as though a cloud covered my eyes and I wondered if I had lost my senses. I finally saw the Tsurumi bridge and I ran headlong toward it, jumping over the piles of rubble. What I saw under the bridge then horrified me.
"People by the hundreds were flailing in the river. I couldn't tell if they were men or women; they were all in the same state: their faces were puffy and ashen, their hair tangled, they held their hands raised and, groaning with pain, threw themselves into the water. I had a violent impulse to do so myself, because of the pain burning through my whole body. But I can't swim and I held back.
"Past the bridge, I looked back to see that the whole Hachobori district had suddenly caught fire, to my surprise, because I thought only the district I was in had been bombed. As I ran, I shouted my children's names. Where was I going? I have no idea, but I can still see the scenes of horror I glimpsed here and there on my way.
"A mother, her face and shoulders covered with blood, tried frantically to run into a burning house. A man held her back and she screamed, 'Let me go! Let me go! My son is burning in there!' She was like a mad demon. Under the Kojin bridge, which had half collapsed and had lost its heavy, reinforced-concrete parapets, I saw a lot of bodies floating in the water like dead dogs, almost naked, with their clothes in shreds. At the river's edge, near the bank, a woman lay on her back with her breasts ripped off, bathed in blood. How could such a frightful thing have happened? I thought of the scenes of the Buddhist hell my grandmother had described to me when I was little.
"I must have wandered for at least two hours before finding myself on the Eastern military parade ground. My burns were hurting me, but the pain was different from an ordinary burn. It was a dull pain that seemed somehow to come from outside my body. A kind of yellow pus oozed from my hands, and I thought that my face must also be horrible to see.
"Around me on the parade ground were a number of grade-school and secondary-school children, boys and girls, writhing in spasms of agony. Like me, they were members of the anti-air raid volunteer corps. I heard them crying 'Mama! Mama!' as though they'd gone crazy. They were so burned and bloody that looking at them was insupportable. I forced myself to do so just the same, and I cried out in rage, 'Why? Why these children?' But there was no one to rage at and I could do nothing but watch them die, one after the other, vainly calling for their mothers.
"After lying almost unconscious for a long time on the parade ground, I started walking again. As far as l could see with my failing sight, everything was in flames, as far as the Hiroshima station and the Atago district. It seemed to me that my face was hardening little by little. I cautiously touched my hands to my cheeks. My face felt as though it had doubled in size. I could see less and less clearly. Was I going blind, then? After so much hardship, was I going to die? I kept on walking anyway and I reached a suburban area.
"In that district, farther removed from the center, I found my elder sister alive, with only slight injuries to the head and feet. She didn't recognize me at first, then she burst into tears. In a handcart, she wheeled me nearly three miles to the first-aid center at Yaga. It was night when we arrived. I later learned there was a pile of corpses and countless injured there. I spent two nights there, unconscious; my sister told me that in my delirium I kept repeating, 'My children! Take me to my children!'
"On August 8, I was carried on a stretcher to a train and transported to the home of relatives in the village of Kasumi. The village doctor said my case was hopeless. My children, recalled from their evacuation refuge, rushed to my side. I could no longer see them; I could recognize them only by smelling their good odor. On August 11, my husband joined us. The children wept with joy as they embraced him.
"Our happiness soon ended. My husband, who bore no trace of injury, died suddenly three days later, vomiting blood. We had been married sixteen years and now, because I was at the brink of death myself, I couldn't even rest his head as I should have on the pillow of the dead.
"I said to myself, 'My poor children, because of you I don't have the right to die!' And finally, by a miracle, I survived after I had again and again been given up for lost.
"My sight returned fairly quickly, and after twenty days I could dimly see my children's features. The burns on my face and hands did not heal so rapidly, and the wounds remained pulpy, like rotten tomatoes. It wasn't until December that I could walk again. When my bandages were removed in January, I knew that my face and hands would always be deformed. My left ear was half its original size. A streak of cheloma, a dark brown swelling as wide as my hand, runs from the side of my head across my mouth to my throat. My right hand is striped with a cheloma two inches wide from the wrist to the little finger. The five fingers on my left hand are now fused at the base...."

As the many ham-fisted, wrong-footed or otherwise abortive attempts I've made over the last couple of years testify, this is the hardest thing I've ever had to write. (So hard in fact, that in the end, rather than just blurt it out, I disguised the reveal in last week's hitching trip.) Just in case there's still any doubt, however, or just in case you're more confused now than you were a week or so ago, let me just clarify:
I'm not the ugly brute I've been claiming to be for the past couple of years. There. I've said it.
I know a few of you had your doubts, some of them verging on the vociferous. Well, congratulations. Your cynicism was not unfounded – at least not entirely.
Right. So. Where to start?
First, I think, with an apology...

The Real "Decoupling" That Deserves Your Attention
The real "decoupling" of note is the decoupling of more and more Americans from America -- not those seeking citizenship in other countries, but rather those looking to live and work elsewhere.
The socio-political mess in the US could be called surreal, although that is much too sophisticated a word for it. Infantile, absurd, ridiculous...there are so many substitutes that speak the truth more clearly.
In past essays at Minyanville, I have discussed the "decoupling" of non-US economies from the US economy (see: Global Decoupling Underway and A Look Back on the Decoupling Debate). I pointed out that it is a process, not an event, something that is underway and continuing. To debate whether it has "occurred" or not is a waste of time. It is occurring and will continue until there is a good reason otherwise. But to refer only to the economy is too limited a use of the term.
As far as I am concerned, the real "decoupling" of note is the decoupling of more and more Americans from America. I am not speaking of those who are seeking citizenship elsewhere, the migrants, but those who are leaving to live and work elsewhere, the relocators. They are by far the greatest in number, but they are the least recognized.
(See also: Bye American: Flaccid Economy Drives U.S. Residents Abroad)
Since 2005, my firm and I have contracted with IBOPE-Zogby (formerly Zogby International) to survey statistically-valid samples of the American people on the subject of relocation outside the US on nine occasions. The survey was structured to remove those relocating for reasons of government service, either civilian or military, or as a result of private sector employment. We were solely interested in those voluntarily relocating by their own decision. We have several different levels of interest and commitment to relocation, but I will focus on only one group today: those who have decided to relocate and have moved beyond interest to the planning stage.
Our seventh survey in mid-2007 before "sub-prime" became a household term found the number to be consistent with the average of the prior six surveys. An eighth survey in 2009 demonstrated a substantial drop-off, unsurprisingly. Our ninth survey in 2011 shows something else. If a picture is worth a thousand words, here is a picture.
Back in 2007, that 1.4% was equivalent to roughly 1.6 million households, more than 3 million Americans. I felt the results were sufficiently substantial to bring them to the attention of the wider investment community in an article for Barron's in September of 2007 followed by an interview with Erin Burnett, then at CNBC's Street Signs.
They met with passing interest in the US. Follow-up requests for information and interviews came primarily from Asia, somewhat to my surprise. But most Americans apparently couldn't come to grips with the idea that any significant number of their fellow citizens would actually pack up and move somewhere else.
The 2011 survey results came as a complete surprise. If the drop-off in 2009 resulted from a loss of financial resources that made relocation impossible or simply too risky, I saw no reason to expect that critical factor to have changed in the two years following. I expected a rise from the lows of 2009 perhaps, but nothing impressive. I came very, very close to not commissioning the survey at all, but I finally went ahead with it.
You can imagine the expression on my face when I first saw the new results; 2.5% meant close to 3 million households and more than 6 million individuals, nearly 80% more than in 2007 and triple the results of 2009. It was a "new high" by a very wide margin.
If I included above those who were relocating for reasons of service to the public and private sectors, the results would be higher, but not as instructive. And if I had included those who were "seriously interested and likely to relocate" from our surveys, the results would have been much more dramatic, but there is no need for additional drama.
If I was surprised at these results, I had a lot more to learn as I looked at the changes in the various characteristics of those planning to relocate.
We provide considerably more detail at a special non-commercial website (no ads, no sales, no donations) AmericaWave.com, should you be interested. I have told my friends that this is my "Hail Mary pass" -- one last attempt to bring this to the attention of the American public. You see, there is no leader, no protest movement, no organized effort underway in support of relocation. It is the result of millions of individual decisions taken independently. It is no surprise that it goes ignored, but it deserves more attention.
At a time of great financial stress when the US seems so self-absorbed with its own self-inflicted wounds, I would argue that the decision to pack your bags, sell your home (if you have one) for what you can get, and set off to live in a foreign nation is not lightly taken. I would further argue that many of these people are "risk-takers," the sort of people who challenge the status quo and help move a nation forward.
Why are they doing this? I am a relocator myself, an American citizen residing in Panama, one of more than 100 nations that our surveys show attract American relocators. From the perspective of an American living outside the Old World of the North Atlantic, the debacle underway in the US and Europe is reason enough.
Napoleon summed it up quite well in 1812 in a remark to the Polish ambassador following the French retreat from Moscow, "Du sublime au ridicule il n'y a qu'un pas." You probably will recognize the English translation, "From the sublime to the ridiculous is only one step." I believe we have taken that step in the US and it has not gone unnoticed by our own citizens.
Yes, there is a slow but sure decoupling underway between the US and "the rest" economically, but when all is said and done, the decoupling that is the most important for America may well be the one above.

Fruit Stand Birthday Party For Kids
It's a Produce Party! A Fun, Fruit Stand-Themed Birthday Bash
It's a Produce Party! A Fun, Fruit Stand-Themed Birthday Bash
While most birthday parties are all about cakes, cookies, and candy, this fruit-themed event, thrown by Brandy Rammel of Brandy J Photography for her daughter Jettie Jean's second birthday, proves that healthy sweet stuff can be just as exciting! "We wanted to chose a theme that suited our daughter at this stage in her life, as well as be something fun for other kids," Brandy says. "Jettie is currently obsessed with fruit; it's the one thing she never turns down. So a fruit stand was decided on! We could not have been more pleased with the way it turned out. The guests, especially the little ones, had such a blast 'shopping' and eating from the stand." Add in some vintage decor, fruity cakes, sweets, and drinks, and one adorable birthday girl sporting a watermelon dress, and you have the perfect Summer party!

Decorative and Artisan Display
Today i put together a decorative plaque, baguettes, ciabatta, and the beer and barley bread. I'm entering a baking competition this weekend and have been practicing for the last little while. On Sunday I'll be doing the decorative plaque, baguettes, ciabatta, beer bread, multi buns, challah, palmiers, croissants, and danish dough for my display. Thoughts and comments are always welcome. If people are at all interested in a tutorial for the plaque just let me know! (I'm from Manitoba, Canada and our province has heritage with the bison and farming hence the wheat and bison on the display) I've redone the plaque already to clean up the seams and braid and this was my first.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Tuesday, February 19, 2008
Here's Harvey's from Holiday
I really like the rich, saturated colours, strong compositions and well drawn subjects the anonymous artist employed in all three of these ads.
One thing I'm unsure of is the medium these pieces were done in... although I have a sneaking suspicion that this might be magic marker on bond paper. As mentioned in an earlier post, when magic markers first became popular, it was not unheard of to see illustrators use them for finished art as well as layout work.
Something about the way the colours interact here, especially in this last piece makes me think these ads are done with markers.
No idea who the artist is... so these pieces will for now be filed in my Beverage Ads Flickr set.
5 comments:
21 Leif, I agree with you that these wonderfully authoritative ads were done with markers. The line quality, especially in architectural areas is typical of markers. Also, changes of hue within color shapes that can be done easily in watercolors are time consumers in markers. I greatly admired illustrators who could get such great effects with markers. Hunting for the exact colors I wanted drove me to such distraction that I couldn't stand working with them. This anonymous illustrator is so skillful. The orange shirt, in particular, has such wonderful strokes that they look as though they were done with brush. For a while, I thought it was done in brush. What a thorough command of shadow shapes and uses of dark holding light he shows. (It reminds me of the Western illustrators such as Ludekins and Galli. Sargent shows this command in his watercolors.) The bits of light, as on the figures, are so effective. Thank you Leif. It's wonderful to be able to appreciate work like this once again, and probably, even more than before.ReplyDelete
The artist is Mitchell Hooks, I would guess the medium is Dr. Martins dyes or a similar product.ReplyDelete
Harald, how do you do it? Now that you mention it, it does look like Mitchell Hooks' style... but can you confirm? Or are you taking an educated guess?ReplyDelete
I still suspect this could be marker though... possibly used on a cotton swab for the larger areas and in the actual felt tipped marker for the tighter bits.
Barbara, in regard to colour and shadow shapes: I particularly like the violet blue shadow treatments in the third piece... especially in the back leg of the foreground figure at extreme right! The way (Hooks?) contrasted that violet shadow against the green pantleg and the red cobblestones is just gorgeous!
I remember these ads I may have the clips in my files. Hooks was such a good artist that perhaps he could have used markers. Since these aren't signed I will try to find something he did in this style. I liked his work a lot.ReplyDelete
You know Leif suffice it to say, I think watercolor and marker are very similar in their approaches.ReplyDelete
So if you're good with the Chartpaks and Marvy fine points, you'd probably do pretty well with watercolor. It's just laying one color over another and building up to dark.
But you have to be fast and clear-headed in your approach! :)
Ahhh Mitchell Hooks...I hope you're right, harald.

Robin Hathaway Keisman, 79, formerly of Germantown, an award-winning mystery author who began writing novels in her 50s, died Feb. 16 of cancer at the home of a daughter in Reston, Va. She had been living in Brewerytown at the time of her death.
Mrs. Keisman, who used her maiden name as her pen name, began to write in the 1980s – after some prodding by her husband – and turned out three novels in three years. When her work was rejected by publishers, she entered a mystery-writing contest sponsored by St. Martin's Press. Nine months later she learned that her first novel, "The Doctor Digs a Grave" had won the Malice Domestic Award for best traditional mystery.
Along with the award came an agreement to publish the novel and a $10,000 advance.
One year later, the novel won an "Agatha," the mystery writer's equivalent of an Oscar, from Malice Domestic.
Although her novels never made the best-seller lists, they had a steady sale and can be found in libraries around the world. The protagonist of her first series of books was Dr. Andrew Fenimore, a cardiologist modeled on her husband.
The author of eight mystery novels, she was a member of the Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime.
Born in Germantown, Mrs. Keisman graduated from Germantown Friends School and received a bachelor's degree in English from Smith College.
She had worked as a volunteer tour guide at Stenton, a historic home in Germantown. She and her husband also lived in New York.
She is survived by her husband, Dr. Robert Keisman; daughters Anne K. Cissel and Julie K. Miller; a brother, and three grandchildren.
Services are being planned. – WF

- All Pages
A very important feature of the GTX 780 is improved thermal control and cooling. The new Boost 2.0 algorithm will reduce the GPU clock if the temperature goes over 80 degrees.
The EVGA ACX cooler is superior to the reference design as it keeps the GPU temperatures below 69 degrees, which is 11 degrees or 15 percent better than the reference unit. This is important as the EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX is factor overclocked. If the cooler wasn't as good, GPU Boost 2.0 would kick in and throttle the card once it gets too hot for comfort. Luckily, it doesn't.
Coming up with a cooler that copes so well with an factory overclocked GPU couldn't have been easy, but EVGA pulled it off. It managed to hit the sweet spot, as the cooler does a better job than the reference design, while at the same time generating same noise.
Of course, it is not inaudible under load, but it is so quiet that you can barely hear it outside the chassis, which is impressive to say the least. When it's idle the card is completely silent.
During our Unigine Heaven test at 1080p, with extreme tessellation settings, the GPU hit 64 degrees Celsius. In the same test a reference GTX 780 hits 80 degrees. In Crysis 3, at 2560x1600 and very high details, the GTX 780 SC ACX heats up to 68 degrees, while the reference card hits 80 degrees.

Load GPU temperature with fan at max
In terms of power efficiency, we can report that the GTX 780 SC ACX can draw a bit more juice than the reference GTX 780. This is quite normal for an factory overclocked card. Since EVGA uses a reference PCB, we can pin some of the blame for the fact that it consumes so much power on Nvidia. Overall, performance-per-watt is still good and it is on a par with the GTX 680.

London shops
Check out the crazy Tudor facade of the Liberty shop!
I love the front of the Cloth House shop - very linen-ey and Japanese-craft-book-esque :)
I would have loved to take photos of/in all of the places, but I felt too guilty. I managed to sneak in one photo of a wall of beautiful rolls of felt in The Cloth House before noticing the security camera!
Mmm, so much beautiful wool felt.
The Orla Keily shop was gorgeous, but I felt uncomfortable just walking through it, let alone taking a photo! The shop assistant followed me around the store with a hawk eye ;)
Something is stressing me out quite a bit at the moment - where to go for our last week here before we're scheduled to fly home. We realised too late that it's the Easter weekend when our acommodation expires, and as a result flights and everything are crazy expensive. Any suggestions of where we could go/stay in Europe/UK that's not going to cost the earth?

You should be able to take a trip to Edinburgh fairly cheaply if you book the train a few days in advance. I think you'd enjoy some of the quirkier shops on the Grassmarket (not to mention the pubs!), plus most of the tourist attractions are in the city centre so you never have more than a 10 minute walk between them.

You could go to Cornwall... a little windy perhaps at the moment but it's absolutely beautiful, and you can't knock the seaside ;)

I would suggest Amsterdam, and The Netherlands. See how much flights are with BMI...
And you can find plenty of places to stay, one is mentioned on my blog from yesterday, as we head off on Thursday for 4 nights.

If you still have time you must go to the Designers Guild store on the Kings Road in Chelsea.
Then try the Lake District, Scotland or even Dublin. Going to Dublin on the ferry is quite cheap I think.

I've been finding it much easier to take photos in smart shops recently.
When I've seen something really gorgeous - such as this plate in Selfridges - I ask the shop assistant for the maker's card or leaflet. They usually say they don't have one and so I ask if I may take some photos instead. They always readily agree.
So, it's worth asking permission if ya wanna take pics.

Why not stay local, but get out of London for a break or for a change of scenery?
Here's a suggestion: Herstmonceux Castle (http://www.herstmonceux-castle.com/)
To get there from London, go to Victoria tube station and buy a ticket to Polegate. Once you reach Polegate, hire a taxi and ask for a ride to Herstmonceux Castle. The folks around there are familiar with this Castle because of the Castle being a school for international university students (including myself a few years ago).
Oh darn darn darn. I just visited the website for this castle and it's not open until April 12th. Darn it.
It's really worth your visit if you want to stay at a rural location for its rural setting, quietness, Castle, the grounds, the trails, and etc. But, do not stay for the accomodations as they're as basic as student dorms, one of which I stayed at a few years ago.
Other ideas include Brighton, Bath, Bristol (which is close to Bath), Liverpool/Manchester/Chester (all of which are close to each other), Cardiff, the Lake District (great for its natural beauty), Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds (a mini London; great for shoppers), Cornwall, etc. I wouldn't bother with York as I didn't find it to be anything but a town full of old history. Although I haven't been there, you could try to visit a few communities in Kent (in the southeast of London).
Don't think that planes are the only option. Consider trains, buses, or even renting cars.
Have fun!

czech republic?
not sure if the flights are expensive, but everything is cheap once you get there.

It sounds like you want somewhere outside the UK so..... In my experience, Portugal and the Czech Republic both seemed cheaper for Aussies after travelling in England, though I guess flights might be the issue because of Easter. Ditto re. the Baltic states, which I really enjoyed when I was in Europe. Most of Scandinavia, unfortunately, is just as expensive, if not more, than the UK. Paris and Rome are fabulous but probably only a tiny bit cheaper too. As someone else said, if flight are cheapish to Amsterdam, it's great.
I'm sure some of the Dutch bloggers would love to meet you, have coffee, show you crafty shops etc.
good luck!

Hi there, sorry I don't have any accommodation suggestions - just want to say how jealous I am of your trip to london! = ) I was there in 1998 and how I miss the shops!!!! I am very envious, ENJOY! Oh and I am coming to visit Australia (first time) in July - really looking forward to it! Good luck with getting a good find for the last week!

firstly, just to clarify I am not stalking you (although i do feel a bit like I am)
Secondly, have a look at this website:
They have lots of last minute trips to UK/Europe and many are bargain prices.
If you decide to stay in the UK, you could hire car, and just drive the south coast for a week (Brighton, Bath, Bristol, Devon and Cornwall - all lovely places)

I'd fly to anywhere in Italy. You can live well on panini and gelato without spending a fortune. Trains are a good way to get around and avoid car hire. Have fun.

When I went to England last summer, I really enjoyed my stay in Bath. The Travelodge was soooo affordable (the best place I stayed in the whole 10 days!), and they have a really nice natural hot springs spa called Thermae. It was great for relaxing after days of train riding and sightseeing!

Come to Canterbury! Its awesome! and only an hour and a half from london! Its purdy and has awesome pubs! :P
Could go to Staines - LOL ali G stylee. (joke - dont go there!)
- 12:09 am
Where ever you decide to go....do not travel out the day before Easter and please buy the tickets ASAP! Buying tickets and traveling the day before Easter weekend can be quite difficult as so many people leave any city on such a holiday. Think of Thanksgiving here. Overnight train out of Paris to Nice on Easter weekend was the WORST train ride I ever took. Too crazy to even go into detail. Nice was amazing once we arrived and worth the "adventure".
- 1:51 pm
what a pitty, I left London last wednesday, otherwise I could have met you.
If you want to stay in GB gu somewhere to the country-site. But don´t you just gu to any travel-agency and ask, which destination they have for low-budget? Sometimes they have great last-minute-offers.
If you´re looking for better weather then go to spain, portugal,... - or have you evenr been in marokko or tunesia?

The Indianapolis Association of Wabash Men and the Schroeder Center for Career Development jointly hosted a career networking event in Indianapolis for over 50 Wabash students on Thursday evening, February 2. This event, much like a successful event held in Chicago in early December, provided a forum for the students to interact with the participating alumni and learn about their career field, their specific company, and their career path. Alumni in attendance represented a wide range of career fields including law (large firms and solo practitioners), health care, banking and finance, sales, consulting, and more.Many thanks to the Schroeder Center Staff, Dave Reed '89, and Tracy Williams '84 for organizing the event. Also, thanks to the Sommer Barnard law office for providing the venue.This looks to become a yearly event in Chicago and Indy, plus their have been requests for similar events in other cities as well.

The vintage sounds of Allah-Las combine the harmonies and hooks of the British Invasion with the atmosphere of a West Coast psychedelic band. Three of the group's four members met while working at the legendary record store Amoeba, where they discovered a mutual love for '60s rock and the beach.
Allah-Las' new, self-titled album captures the carefree, breezy sounds of California — which makes sense, given that the entire band is made up of surfers. The album's dreamy romanticism feels rooted in nostalgia, which contributes to a vibe that can feel both joyous and melancholy. In this episode of World Cafe: Next, hear tracks from Allah-Las' new record.

Located in north central Spain, Rioja is the most famous of Spain's wine-producing region. The relatively long growing season here enables the fruit to ripen thoroughly without undue loss of acidity, permitting intensely flavored, complex Rioja wines with medium weight, moderate alcohol, and plenty of structure for aging. The finest Rioja wine-blends based on Tempranillo, with some jammy Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano, have always been easier on the head and stomach than most of the world's other serious reds, with more flavor and complexity than would seem possible from wines carrying a relatively low 12% to 13% alcohol. But the movement for Rioja wines today is toward riper, bigger, and darker wines.
Rioja is divided into three zones. Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa, which comprise the western half of the greater Rioja area, are relatively cool, although protected from the coldest Atlantic winds by the Sierra de Cantabria mountain range- Tempranillo country par excellence. Farther to the east and south is the warmer, drier Rioja Baja, a distinctly Mediterranean climate conducive to the softer, lower-acid, higher-alcohol Garnacha (Grenache), which complements the Tempranillo. Most Riojas are blends from vineyards within one of these regions, if not from more than one region, but the trend in recent years has been toward wines from more closely defined areas, if not from single sites.
Rioja wine has traditionally been released only when deemed ready to drink by its maker. But an increasing number of producers are making Rioja wine from mostly or all Tempranillo grown in favored sites, aging them for a shorter period in smaller, newer barrels (often of French rather than American oak), and releasing them earlier. These new wines are darker, more robust and more tannic than traditionally styled wines from the region, and often possess more primary fruit flavors.

There is currently no available "Beginner" label. The following is the default level label: In 1836, a new law was signed by President Andrew Jackson that established a new patent system. It restructured the patent law that had first been passed in 1793. That law had required models for some inventions, but not all, and only if the Patent Office deemed one necessary. But patent disputes in courts increasingly began to use the models, and by the time a new law was drafted the requirements were changed to require a model with every patent application. This requirement held until 1880. A model like this one of Dexter Pierce's plough was submitted for a patent. Dexter Pierce was born in 1806 in Southbridge, Massachusetts. He moved to Sturbridge in 1830, and in 1835 bought land in the village of Montague, Massachusetts. There he lived with his wife, Mary Ann Fiske and their four daughters. In the years after, he purchased a significant amount of land in Sunderland and Northfield, where he had his home. His plough was not a big hit. He died in 1860.

day 1 : day 2 : day 3 : day 4 : day 5 : day 6 : day 7 : final result
In the pictures below are the various applications of the font. Spray-paint was bought and used to create t-shirts for our chopshop. In the second row are beer mugs we sandblasted, for use in our drinking celebration later. We created 'Greetings from Detroit/Detroit is a chopshop' postcards out of the large wooden font in the third row. In the last two rows you can see the entire stencil set we cut out by hand. Whew. Time for a party.
Ach ja, there is also a PDF for the real type-freaks.
9 comments so far: read comments , please do comment
JON-IZZLE -- Monday, April 14 2003, 04:18 pm
Ahhhh, the final result page. I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Sami and Akiem for teaching us so much about type in such a little amount of time. I think everyone in the workshop learned much more than they expected in just one week. !!!! You guys rock !!!! I also want to THANK everyone who worked on CHOPSHOP this week. It was quite good that we got to spend time with each other , I think it brought us closer together as designers and friends not to mention helping us put together a great font. This week goes down as one of the most fun and productive weeks in CCS history. Hope to see everyone soon. PS_ Who are those DETROIT THUGS in the pictures? THOSE PICTURES ARE THE SHIZZNIZZLE FO SHIZZLE SNIZZLE POP PIZZLE.
chris -- Monday, April 14 2003, 04:26 pm
yes, i agree with jon-izzle. the last days showed that a collective whole can not only create something unique...but also produce an enormous amount and variety of content. congrats to brian and bob for beating megaman in one, diehard sitting. overall, all i can say is: "shock and awe"
Hanna Kurppa -- Monday, April 14 2003, 10:59 pm
Some team spirit! Working in a bigger group doesn´t necessarily work out, but you ended up keeping the project unified. It was nice you voted together for the best forms and letters so that everyone had to reason at least to oneself why they preferred one form to an other. The last day should definitely be dedicated to applying the font in practice and not to some last-minute changes since there´s always something that could be improved. The shadow-effect of the stencil is visually stunning. Best wishes to all of you!
anssi -- Tuesday, April 15 2003, 11:52 am
hi there guys we just came back from NYC - saw Sami at Helsinki airport... its a small world. Anyways, greetings from the Lahti Crew, keep up the good work! Beware, we'll be watching this space.
Bas -- Tuesday, April 15 2003, 03:39 pm
you dirty car rippers, where can we order the t-shirts?
Ulla -- Wednesday, April 16 2003, 09:55 am
Looks like starting with consentrated work with pencil and paper and finishing by messing up your surroundings works. You must have had a good time, and to me that's what type design is all about... (trying to be sadly humorous)
T -- Wednesday, April 16 2003, 06:27 pm
I don't know much about type design but just looking at the type that you people created is awesome. I look at the work from the first day to the last and there seems to be a huge step forward. The main thing is it seems like everyone is having fun.
T -- Wednesday, April 16 2003, 06:29 pm
another thing where can I get those MUGS!
tob, Amsterdam, Stuttgart -- Tuesday, April 22 2003, 07:42 pm
Yes, it is really a stencil typeface! I think that the E causes little problems because of the descender which looks like a comma. But however, to finish a typeface in one week demnds respect, well done. I like #9 very much. As a type addict I learn only by looking a few minutes a day on your workshops, and I like publication no 4 (the Finnish workshop) very much, especially the [how fat can you go] assignment... thank you underware

I know Colin was rude and stuff, but you could tell he was passionate about winning (not that any of the other teams weren't, mind you), but i don't know, for a strange reason i found myself rooting more for Colin and Christie. There's something about Chip and Kim that bothered me. Maybe it was their audition video, which IMO makes them look pompous..And yeah..ALL the females in the F3 were just dead weight. They only did 1 roadblock in the entire Race, hence the reason why they created the "6 Roadblock" rule
I liked Colin but i HATED Christie.... well i didn't like any of the females in the final 3. I think Colin is THE MOST intense racer in the history of TAR... Chip & Kim were ok... just ok.

Skip to comments.NOTE TO SARAH PALIN: IT WAS SOROS, DEMOCRATS, WASILLA AND MCCAIN - Soros McCain connection
Posted on 07/23/2009 3:40:28 PM PDT by American Dream 246
From the time of her announcement as the Vice Presidential selection by Senator John McCain, Governor Sarah Palin has been the target of a nearly solid wall of attacks from the Democrats. It was obvious to them from the very beginning that with her popularity rating in her home state of Alaska, her knowledge of the issues, added to the fact she is an attractive, young woman with a family must have terrified them. Could it be that she could actually lead the Republicans to the White House in 2009?
Speaking from a Conservative viewpoint, I think it goes without saying that Senator John McCain, while a real American hero and patriot, was not the strongest candidate the Republican Party could have nominated. Many of his political views present a more moderate slant than many voters would have preferred. It is when he is compared to the Democratic Party candidate of 2008 that his Conservatism becomes more noticeable.
The one thing that most Conservatives will agree with candidate McCain was his Vice Presidential selection. Here was the epitome of Conservatism at its best. A strict Constitutionalist and Federalist, Governor Sarah Palin embodies everything we hold most closely to our hearts where our Founding Fathers and the documents of Democracy they left for us are concerned. In Sarah Palin, the Conservatives of America found the whole package beauty and intelligence bundled inside a knowledgeable politician firmly grounded in the Constitution of the United States. This is exactly the reason the Democrats feared her then as well as now.
The Obama campaign immediately began looking for anything they could find to use against her. They werent alone in their search. The George Soros funded groups with ties to MoveOn.org used their networking to offer as much as $5000 for damaging employment or personal information about Mrs. Palins husband, Alaskas First Dude, Todd Palin.
It was impossible for them to find the bombshell of embarrassment they sought. They resorted to exploiting incidents that would appear questionable to the public at large. With the careful use of embellishment and untruths, they crafted a carefully choreographed strategy to destroy the humanity of the woman Sarah Palin is; dedicated to her God, strongly family oriented, self-confident and emotionally and mentally grounded in the ideals of Democracy.
According to an Obama media adviser, the DNC was asked to coordinate surrogates to replace the Democrat women which had been used in advertising to this point. According to Spectator.org, "Last Friday, the Democrat women they put all looked old and tired, nothing like what folks were seeing from Palin," says an Obama media adviser. "It was like, 'we don't have any good-looking younger representatives to put up?'"
A headline in the September 9, 2008, issue of The Chicago Tribune would seem to confirm that the Democratic Party listened to the Obama media adviser.
Also contributing to the barrage of attacks was The Wasilla Project, a series of four videos by independent filmmakers comprised of interviews with several Alaska citizens, not all of whom are from Wasilla, but who all had reason to oppose Governor Sarah Palins Republican nomination. In some cases it may have been a job loss or the fact that Governor Palin terminated a contract with ConocoPhillips and one of their partners, Pioneer Natural Resources, a company doing business on the North Slope of Alaska for which one of the interviewed citizens works.
Others had different reasons, but the opposition was extremely limited which is perhaps the reason the Wasilla Project interviewed only ten Alaskans (Andree McLeod, Zane Henning, Victoria Naegele, Dianne Woodruff, Howard Bess, Eric Croft, Tara Henry, Dr. Colleen Murphy and Geran Tarr) using some of them multiple times in separate video clips.
A simple web search for The Wasilla Project returns the following credits:
Paul Lundahl, Director Erik Johnson, Executive Producer/Research/Internet Strategist Arianna Pilram, Co-Producer/Research/Assistant Editor Julie Griesert, Co-Editor Eric Ladenburg, Co-Producer/Co-Editor David Driver, Director of Photography Glen Janssens, Director of Photography Jordan Weill, Co-Producer, Photographer, Online Editor Michael Becker, Composer Chris Krotky, Composer Carla Hardaway, voiceover Rachel Gaunt, Project Angel
Several of the people involved with The Wasilla Project are employed by eMotion Studios ; some are not. Among those not employed by eMotion Studios are Erik Johnson, a Senior Director in Product Research for Epicor Software, who had worked with this same group of people from eMotion Studios prior to The Wasilla Project; Eric Ladenburg, an Instructor for Bay Area Video Coalition; Michael Becker, a composer; Carla Hardaway, an actress whose voice is used in many videos; Rachel Gaunt, an expert in Life and Executive Coaching.
The eMotion Studios web site states their purpose is to help our clients develop a human connection with their audiences. Pretty simple. Very potent. The most direct path to peoples minds and hearts is through stories, imagery and technology that surprises and engages them. This is the reason they allegedly were chosen by the Democratic National Committee and George Soros funded enterprises, for this smear campaign against Governor Sarah Palin.
In an interview with the Anchorage Daily News on October 8, 2008, Paul Lundahl expressed to Kyle Hopkins, writer for the Alaska Politics section, his political stance for creating the first four-minute video in the series of four by saying, "If we didn't do this and McCain's elected on Nov. 4 and we felt like ... people didn't know who Sarah Palin was, it would feel really bad."
The article points out that a fund-raiser was held in the home of an unnamed female friend of the project most likely during the period from September 26-28, 2008. Speculation as to who this friend is includes Andree McLeod, Val Henning, Shannyn Moore, Linda Kellen Biegel, Jeanne Devon, Dianne Woodruff, and others.
There is also the possibility that in an attempted ruse, this dinner wasnt actually hosted by a she, but rather a he; specifically, Phil Munger. In my research, I came across this quote in a Huffington Post article of April 22, 2009, written by Shannyn Moore: Right after the nomination of Sarah Palin for VP, Wasilla blogger, musician, professor, and all around renaissance man, Phil Munger, threw a party at his home-the first of many. Secrecies were sworn; we were not alone in front of our computers-we had each other; Mudflats, Immoral Minority, Writing Raven, Celtic Diva, Progressive Alaska, Alaska Report, What Do I Know, and myself, Just a Girl From Homer. Documentary crews interviewed us and protected anonymous identities at the time.
It would be easier to win the battle against Governor Palin in the court of public opinion if the Democrats could use the Republican Party against her. This, they set out to do. There are times that one simply has to do what one has to do. At some point there is a time of pay-back. The Democrats, with the assistance of their friend and financial supporter, George Soros, found it time to collect on some of those debts the Republican owed them.
When doing research for any form of writing, locating some pieces to the puzzle is an easy task. Others require the researcher/writer to accept the information found regardless of how much the opposite would be preferred.
The McCain campaign didnt offer much in the way of support for reported leaks which began very shortly after Governor Palin joined the ticket. When the source of leaks from inside the McCain camp was finally revealed regarding the purchase of clothing for Sarah Palin, the Vice Presidential candidate, and her family, and charging that Palin suffered from post-partum depression among other leaks to the media, a war of words ensued between William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard and Steve Schmidt, campaign manager for McCain.
Even these leaks were not enough to break the momentum the newly energized Republican campaign felt at the inclusion of Governor Palin. Political polling numbers began to rise, larger crowds began showing up at political rallies, funding increased and support grew consistently.
George Soros had a single goal, according to an interview The Washington Post published on November 11, 2003. In this interview, Soros said that removing President George W. Bush from office was the "central focus of my life" and "a matter of life and death." He said he would sacrifice his entire fortune to defeat President Bush, "if someone guaranteed it."
From his vast resources, Soros donated $3 million to the Center for American Progress, $5 million to MoveOn and $10 million to America Coming Together. These are all organizations known to be funded directly by George Soros and his Open Society Institute. On September 28, 2004, he dedicated more money to his campaign to defeat the Republican incumbent and began his own multi-state tour starting with the National Press Club in Washington, DC, with a speech titled Why We Must Not Re-elect President Bush.
During his unsuccessful campaign for the Republican nomination for President in 2000, Senator John McCain sports many moneyed organizers. One of these organizers was George Soros. It does not require a stretch of the imagination to wonder if this move in the 2000 Republican race was intended by Soros as part of his major push to defeat George Bush in 2004.
Of course the possibility exists that not only was the effort to continue his political vendetta against George Bush, George Soros was building up political capital to spend at a later date as he supported the McCain-Feingold Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, which was intended to end "soft money" contributions to federal election campaigns.
There is also the connection between these two, John McCain and George Soros, through John McCains Reform Institute (RI). They both benefit from the assistance of Rick Davis, shown to be a consultant to John McCains RI, and the connection between McCain and the funding. This list of funding for the Reform Institute includes The Tides Foundation and OSI, Soros Open Society Institute.
Could this single connection be reason for Conservative Palin supporters to ask the McCain campaign: Why was McCain's staff receiving paychecks from George Soros while at the same time Soros' groups were savaging his running mate? Furthermore, why was there an apparent lack of defense strategy during the campaign? Why the lack of support for Governor Palin after the election? Finally, why did the McCain staff leak lies and rumors about the Governor?"
They werent alone in their search. The George Soros funded groups with ties to MoveOn.org used their networking to offer as much as $5000 for damaging employment or personal information about Mrs. Palins husband, Alaskas First Dude, Todd Palin.
I am OUTRAGED that any group would try to destroy a family like this, offering MONEY for DIRT. Liberals must be the sickest form of bacteria known to man.
Good post.
I am shocked they only offered $5000.

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"
This is one of the most important blogs ever written about Sarah and her Alinsky-type treatment by the Obama war room. I know that Sarah is fully aware this is true but thanks Red Diva for bringing her supporters up to speed as well.
To you folks who support Sarah and love America this piece reflects the true and evil nature of the enemy, and why we must resolve not be CHARITABLE to Obama or the Far Left any longer. They are like vermin that must be stamped out.
next election Palin gets my vote, not Liberal Mitt from Mass, he is not even one notch different than McCain.
Maybe cause McCain is not to be trusted? Anyone who pushed for what he did (McCain-Feingold) is no "patriot."
We knew McCain was "off" and it seemed he was trying to throw the election.... with each passing day I feel more and more his comments in that WI townhall wasn't a fluke, no way McCain could have really believed what he was saying... that Obama was a good man and would make a good president.
I hope George is enjoying his Lex Luthor moment, because payback is going to be a bitch.
"Our staff is attacking Gov. Palin's children."
"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."
-- President Ronald Reagan
"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldnt make any sense at all.""
-- President Ronald Reagan
But how did McCain go from being at the bottom rung of the polls to being able to run a ton of ads, hire a huge staff and pay for travel? WHich eventually brought him to win
Great picture of the two biggest Rino's.
Whatever his motives, that day McCain LEGITIMIZED Obama for many Americans who might have been on the fence towards Obama's ability to do the job as POTUS.
AC, when you think about it if you were not a partisan or had any skin in the game or apolitical what consideration would you most take into account in determining who you would vote for assuming equality of charisma. I think the ability to the job of POTUS might rate pretty high.
"Many of his (McCain) political views present a more moderate slant than many voters would have preferred."
That last 2 months of the campaign, I swore McCain was sabotaging his own chances. THIS explains it all. Soros money talks, and it explains how McCain rose so quickly to the top. It also explains McCain/Feingold.
Sarah, you were trashed from inside the McCain camp, NEVER trust those weaklings again! Keep an eye out for snakes inside camp!
Remember James Carville accusing Republicans of dragging a dollar through the trailerpark?
Palin Ping
I guess I'm too close to all of this, I never liked or trusted the man; personally I didn't like McCain, either... our choices sucked last November, but I still held my nose and voted for the old guy.

SAG Disappointing: Emily Blunt
That's a sick body. But that is also a low classy looking dress. And it breaks my heart. Because as you know, Emily Blunt is a favourite.
But this…this is budget. When the seam that splits from her breasts does not travel a straight line down, all the way down, to me that screams cheap. It's unpolished. It's messy. The light and the shading was messy. Not to mention tacky. Tacky is beneath her. This must be why she looked SO uncomfortable.
And interesting…
John Krasinski left the house on his way to the SAGs with another woman. Could be his publicist, could be his agent, could be a sister, probably no one and nothing to smut about. But it would have been cute to make believe they were getting ready together. And … they weren't. Even cuter? John Krasinski's idea of dressing up is wet hair. Heh.

Qui puoi trovare alcune utili istruzioni per mantenere la tua Canyon in perfetta forma! Seleziona l'argomento di tuo interesse e troverai la soluzione al tuo problema.
Stack and Reach
Stack and Reach describes how it feels to sit on the bike. These two measurements are independent of the bike's setup such as saddle setback or seatpost length.
As stack grows, the seated position becomes more relaxed and upright (if reach stays the same).
As reach grows, the seated position becomes more stretched and sporting (if reach stays the same).
This means that the relationship of stack to reach is important. The stack to reach ratio of Canyon road bikes is essentially constant over all the frame sizes.
Bikes with the SPORT geometry: ratio above 1.55
Bikes with the SPORT PRO geometry: ratio 1.45-1.55
Bikes with the PRO geometry: ratio below 1.45
Measuring stack and reach:
Stack: centre of the bottom bracket to the top edge of the top tube, at right angles to the ground
Reach: top edge of the top tube to bottom bracket height, at right angles to the stack
Photo 1 Photo 2
Stack and reach on triathlon and time trial bikes
Then armpad stack and reach is used here: the reach is measured from the armpads. Please consult the download for the stack and reach of the Speedmax CF.
How to measure armpad stack and reach:
Stand your bike with its front wheel against a wall
Measure from the ground to the centre of the armpad: distance B+C
Measure the distance from floor to bottom bracket: distance E
Subtract the second value from the first (B+C)-E = armpad stack figure 1
Measure the distance from the bottom bracket to the wall: distance A+D
Then subtract the distance from the wall to the middle of the armpad from this (A+D)-F = armpad reach

By Gerry Fall, Santa Barbara News-Press
There are countless examples in life of a person who will go to great lengths to help out a friend. Whether at a grave time or a moment of need or just someone who performs a simple task that makes another's life a little easier, they crop up every day.
In the case of legendary Rutgers women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer and her loyalty and commitment to one of her former assistants and close friend, UCSB women's coach Carlene Mitchell, this one is off the charts.
Stringer, who was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2009 alongside Michael Jordan, John Stockton David Robinson and Jerry Sloan, will be the keynote speaker for the Gaucho women's basketball team's annual golf tournament and dinner fundraiser on Oct. 8 at the Montecito Country Club.
What's remarkable about the whole thing is that when Oct. 8 rolls around, the Scarlet Knights will have started preseason practices like every other college team in the country. Rutgers' only day off that week is the day Stringer will speak at the fundraiser.
"She will practice early that morning on Sunday so she can fly in here and get here at a reasonable hour, and then she will take a red-eye (after the event) and land in time to attend practice on Tuesday," Mitchell said.
It would be one thing if Stringer coached anywhere in the West, really. But she doesn't. She runs the show in Piscataway, N.J., where she's been since 1995.
It is a tremendous gesture by Stringer toward Mitchell, who served on Stringer's bench for 10 seasons before UCSB athletic director Mark Massari made one heck of a hire. And if you think Stringer is doing it for a healthy speaking fee, you're wrong. UCSB is picking up her plane ticket and hotel for one night. That's it.
She is entering her 41st season as a college head coach in a career that has produced countless accolades. One of them was being the first bench boss on the men's or women's side to take three schools, Cheyney State in 1982, Iowa in 1993 and Rutgers in 2000 and 2007, to the Final Four.
"She has this ability to create a team atmosphere, and I think it's off the court as well, where the kids respect her so much," Mitchell said.
As for coach Stringer's life outside of basketball, it's been filled with more adversity than most will ever know: Hard times that include the death of a husband on Thanksgiving a number of years ago, as well as her own battle with cancer.
"Her Philosophy is the same as mine, it's a no-excuse approach," Mitchell said. "That's how she handles life and adversity and that's how her teams play; no excuses, no matter if it's injuries, officials or playing on the road."
Mitchell, who is entering her second season at UCSB after guiding the Gauchos to the NCAA Tournament last year, said she struggled with asking her dear friend for this kind of a favor.
"I was a little torn in asking her to help out, but then again that's just how strongly I feel about our relationship," she said. "But getting this program to where it needs to be, I think someone of her caliber and stature will show this community about how serious I am about getting this to be a top-notch program."
Coach Stringer is an inspiration to anyone, whether they know what a pick-and-roll is, or not. And Oct. 8 will be our opportunity to be inspired by a champion, in every sense of the word.
"A lot of times, unfortunately, it will be after their gone that people will truly appreciate them. But I think the thing with Coach is that it's not about the championships. ... I think it's about the impact she has on the women's lives where they continue to come back, and the family atmosphere she creates," Mitchell added. "Her legacy will be more than championships. She has impacted the lives of a lot of people."

A toxic megacolon is rare, but life-threatening. It is a complication of severe colon disease or infection.
Toxic megacolon can be deadly because it puts you at risk for infection throughout the body, shock, and dehydration. Toxic megacolon is a life-threatening condition that needs immediate treatment.
These are signs and symptoms related to toxic megacolon:
Swelling of the belly
Pain in the belly
Rapid heart rate
Toxic megacolon is a complication of these conditions:
Ulcerative colitis. This is an inflammatory bowel disease. It usually affects the colon and rectum.
Crohn's disease. This is an inflammatory bowel disease. It can affect any part of the digestive tract.
Infections of the colon. These can be caused by C difficile. This is a germ that can lead to symptoms ranging from diarrhea to a possibly deadly colon inflammation. Other infections can also cause the problem.
Ischemia. Low blood flow to the colon.
In rare situation, colon cancer.
Other risk factors include diabetes, organ transplants, kidney failure, suppressed immunity, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
To make a diagnosis, your healthcare provider will do these things:
Take your medical history
Do a physical exam
Order blood tests, such as a complete blood count
Order an X-ray of the intestine or a CT scan
Treatment of toxic megacolon includes:
Medicines. Treating the original condition or infection may help reduce toxic megacolon. Anti-inflammatory medicines can help control inflammation. Antibiotics can help treat or prevent infection. Your healthcare provider may prescribe other medicines.
Bowel rest and bowel decompression. These treatments remove gas and substances filling the colon.
IV fluids. You may be given an IV of fluids and electrolytes to help nourish your body and prevent dehydration.
Surgery. If less invasive treatments don't reduce the size of the toxic megacolon within 2 to 3 days, you may need surgery to remove part or all of the colon.
Your healthcare provider may have you stop taking certain medicines while you're being treated for toxic megacolon. Some medicines that can make the condition worse are opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines, medicines to stop diarrhea, antidepressants, and anticholinergic medicines.
If untreated, a toxic megacolon can result in severe complications, such as:
Bleeding and blood loss
Whole-body infection (sepsis)
Abnormal hole in the colon (perforation)
Toxic megacolon can be deadly if not treated.
Seek immediate medical help or have someone call 911 if you have severe stomach pain and these symptoms:
