Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an inherited connective tissue disorder with different presentations that have been classified into several primary types. EDS is caused by a defect in the structure, production, or processing of collagen or proteins that interact with collagen, such as mutations in the COL5A or COL3A genes. (This is the collagen of granulation tissue, and is produced quickly by young fibroblasts before the tougher type I collagen is synthesized. Commonly associated with keloid formation. Reticular fiber. Also found in artery walls, skin, intestines and the uterus.--COL3A1). The collagen in connective tissue helps tissues resist deformation. Collagen is an important contributor to the physical strength of skin, joints, muscles, ligaments, blood vessels and visceral organs; abnormal collagen renders these structures more elastic. In some cases, the severity of the mutation can be life-threatening.
There is no cure for EDS, and treatment is supportive, including close monitoring of the digestive, excretory and particularly the cardiovascular systems. Occupational and physical therapy, bracing, and corrective surgery may help with the frequent injuries and pain that tend to develop in certain types of EDS, although extra caution and special practices are advised to prevent permanent damage.[1]
People who suffer from EDS are often misdiagnosed with hypochondriasis, depression, chronic fatigue syndrome and other conditions[2] because EDS is considered an invisible disability[3][4] and there is generally poor knowledge about EDS among practitioners.[5][6][7] Many sufferers of EDS have psychological difficulties as a result of frustration with the medical system and the socially inconvenient combination of appearing normal while being in severe pain.[8][9][10][11] To deal with these issues, interest groups have tried to raise awareness about EDS among medical professionals.[12][3]
The features of EDS were first described by Hippocrates in 400 BC. The syndrome is named after two physicians, Edvard Ehlers from Denmark, and Henri-Alexandre Danlos from France, who described it at the turn of the 20th century.[13][14]
In the past, there were 10 recognized types of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. In 1997, researchers proposed a simpler classification that reduced the number of major types to six and gave them descriptive names.[15] These six major types are listed here. Other types of the condition may exist, but they have been reported only in single families or are not well characterized. Except for hypermobility, some of the specific mutations involved have been identified and they can be precisely identified by genetic testing; this is valuable due to a great deal of variation in individual cases. However, negative genetic test results do not rule out the diagnosis, since not all of the mutations have been discovered; therefore the clinical presentation is very important. Although the following classifications are well defined, it is rare for a case to fit neatly in a single category, and cross-over symptoms lead to under-diagnosis or mis-diagnosis. Therefore, patients should not rely on the "fact" of having a certain type of EDS if cross-over symptoms are evident because of possibly life-threatening symptoms. For example, it is possible for an individual with Classical EDS to exhibit symptoms of Hypermobility or Vascular EDS. In order of prevalence in the population, the classifications are:
Name | Number | Description | OMIM | Gene(s) |
Hypermobility | type 3 | Affects 1 in 10,000 to 15,000 and is caused by an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive mechanism. Mutations in either of two separate genes (which are also involved in Vascular EDS and Tenascin-X deficiency EDS, respectively) may lead to this variant. Joint hypermobility is the hallmark of this type, with less severe skin manifestations. Joint instability and chronic musculoskeletal pain are particularly prominent in this type. Patients with the Hypermobility Type experience frequent joint dislocations and subluxations (partial/incomplete dislocations), with or without trauma. As a result, pain is a common, severe, and a lifelong symptom of this type. Additionally, osteoarthritis is common, and many get it earlier in life than expected.[16] | 130020 | COL3A1, TNXB |
Classical | types 1 & 2 | Affects approximately 1 in 20,000 to 50,000 people. It is caused by autosomal dominant mechanism and affects type-V collagen, as well as type I. Type 1 typically presents with severe skin involvement, and type 2 presents with mild to moderate skin involvement. Patients with the Classical Type may experience the same symptoms as the Hypermobility Type. The main difference between the Hypermobility and Classical Types are the Classical has more skin involvement while the Hypermobility Type has more joint involvement. Those with Classical EDS can also have severe joints issues like those with the Hypermobility Type. | 130000, 130010 | COL5A1, COL5A2, COL1A1 |
Vascular | type 4 | Is an autosomal dominant defect in the type-III collagen synthesis; affecting approximately 1 in 100,000 to 250,000 people. The vascular type is considered one of the more serious forms of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome because blood vessels and organs are fragile and prone to tearing (rupture). Many patients with EDS type 4 express a characteristic facial appearance (large eyes, small chin, sunken cheeks, thin nose and lips, lobeless ears), have a small stature with a slim build, and typically have thin, pale, translucent skin (veins can usually be seen on the chest and abdomen) with very easy bruising and propensity to develop ecchymoses (bruising without trauma). About one in four people with vascular type EDS develop a significant health problem by age 20 and more than 80 percent develop life-threatening complications by age 40. | 130050 | COL3A1 |
Kyphoscoliosis | type 6 | Is an autosomal recessive defect due to deficiency of an enzyme called lysyl hydroxylase; it is very rare, with fewer than 60 cases reported. The kyphoscoliosis type is characterised by progressive curvature of the spine (scoliosis), fragile eyes, and severe muscle weakness. | 225400, 229200 | PLOD1 |
Arthrochalasia | types 7A & B | Is an autosomal dominant defect which is very rare, with roughly 30 cases reported. It affects type-I collagen. The arthrochalasia type is characterised by very loose joints and dislocations involving both hips. Their joints are much looser than the Hypermobility Type. It could be considered 2+ times worse than someone who has severe joint instability with the Hypermobility Type. | 130060 | COL1A1, COL1A2 |
Dermatosparaxis | type 7C | Autosomal recessive. Very rare - with approximately 10 cases reported. The dermatosparaxis type is characterized by extremely fragile and sagging skin. | 225410 | ADAMTS2 |
Overall, research statistics of EDS show the prevalence as 1 in 2,500 to 1 in 5,000 people. Recent clinical experience suggests that this condition goes under-diagnosed and the condition is more common than these ratios indicate.[17]
Forms of EDS within this category may present with soft, mildly stretchable skin, shortened bones, chronic diarrhea, joint hypermobility and dislocation, bladder rupture, or poor wound healing. Inheritance patterns within this group include X-linked recessive, autosomal dominant, and autosomal recessive. Examples of types of related syndromes other than those above reported in the medical literature include:
Signs vary widely based on which type of EDS the patient has. In each case, however, the signs are ultimately due to faulty or reduced amounts of collagen. EDS typically affects the joints, skin, and blood vessels. Following is a list of major signs and symptoms.
Thoracic outlet syndrome sprain, dislocation, subluxation and hyperextension[18]
Other manifestations or complications:
Because it is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed in childhood, some instances of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome have been mischaracterized as child abuse.[35] The pain associated with this condition is a serious complication.
As mentioned under "Classification" above, only some variations of Ehlers-Danlos can be positively identified as tied to specific genetic variation (as opposed to epigenetic or environmental factors.)
Mutations in the following genes can cause different subtypes of the Ehlers–Danlos syndrome:
Mutations in these genes usually alter the structure, production, or processing of collagen or proteins that interact with collagen. Collagen provides structure and strength to connective tissue throughout the body. A defect in collagen can weaken connective tissue in the skin, bones, blood vessels, and organs, resulting in the features of the disorder.
Inheritance patterns depend on the type of Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome. Most forms of the condition are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means only one of the two copies of the gene in question must be altered to cause the disorder. The minority are inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene must be altered for a person to be affected by the condition. It can also be an individual (de novo or "sporadic") mutation. Please refer to the summary for each type of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome for a discussion of its inheritance pattern.
A diagnosis can be made by an evaluation of medical history and clinical observation. The Brighton criteria are widely used to assess the degree of joint hypermobility. Both DNA and biochemical studies can be used to help identify affected individuals. Diagnostic tests include: collagen gene mutation testing, collagen typing via skin biopsy, echocardiogram, and lysyl hydroxylase or oxidase activity. However, these tests are not able to confirm all cases, especially in instances of an unmapped mutation, and so clinical evaluation by a geneticist remains essential. If there are multiple affected individuals in a family, it may be possible to perform prenatal diagnosis using a DNA information technique known as a linkage study.
There are several disorders that share some characteristics with Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome. For example, in cutis laxa the skin is loose, hanging, and wrinkled. In EDS, the skin can be pulled away from the body but is elastic and returns to normal when let go. In Marfan syndrome, the joints are very mobile and similar cardiovascular complications occur. People with EDS tend to have a "Marfanoid" appearance (e.g. tall, skinny, long arms and legs, "spidery" fingers). However, it is important to note that physical appearance and features in several types of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome also have characteristics including short stature, large eyes, and the appearance of a small mouth and/or chin, due to a small palate. The palate can also have a high arch, causing dental crowding. Blood vessels can sometimes be easily seen through translucent skin, especially on the chest. In the past, Menkes disease, a copper metabolism disorder, was thought to be a form of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome. It is not uncommon for patients to be misdiagnosed with Fibromyalgia, bleeding disorders or a variety of other disorders that can mimic EDS symptoms before a correct diagnosis is made. Because of these similar disorders, and complications that can arise from an unmonitored case of EDS, a correct diagnosis is very important.[36] Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is worth consideration in diagnosing a patient.
There is no cure for Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. Treatment is palliative. Close monitoring of the cardiovascular system, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and orthopedic instruments (e.g., wheelchairs, bracing, casting) may be helpful. Orthopedic instruments are helpful for the prevention of further joint damage, especially for long distances, although it is advised that individuals not become dependent on them until there are no other options for mobility. One should avoid activities that cause the joint to lock or overextend.
A physician may prescribe casting to stabilize joints. Physicians may refer a patient to an orthotist for orthotic treatment (bracing). Physicians may also consult a physical and/or occupational therapist to help strengthen muscles and to teach people how to properly use and preserve their joints.[37][38][39]
There are different types of physiotherapy. Aquatic therapy promotes muscular development and coordination.[40] With manual therapy, the joint will be gently mobilized within the range of motion and/or manipulations.[37][39] Electrotherapy like transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation reduces local musculoskeletal pain.[37][39] If conservative therapy is not helpful, surgical repair of joints may be necessary at some time. Medication to decrease pain or manage cardiac, digestive, or other related conditions may be prescribed. To decrease bruising and improve wound healing, some patients have responded to ascorbic acid (vitamin C).[41] Special precautions are often taken by medical care workers because of the sheer amount of complications that tend to arise in EDS patients. In Vascular EDS, signs of chest or abdominal pain are to be considered trauma situations.
In general, medical intervention is limited to symptomatic therapy. Prior to pregnancy, patients with EDS should have genetic counseling. Children with EDS should be provided with information about the disorder, so they can understand why contact sports and certain other physically stressful activities should be avoided. Children should be taught early on that demonstrating the unusual positions they can maintain due to loose joints should not be done as this may cause early degeneration of the joints. Patients may find it hard to cope with the drawbacks of the disease. In this case emotional support and behavioral and psychological therapy can be useful. Support groups are found to be immensely helpful for patients dealing with major lifestyle changes and poor health. Family members, teachers and friends should be provided with information about EDS so they can accept and assist the child as necessary. Despite all these different types of conservative therapy, except bracing, results show that conservative therapy is ineffective in contrast to midcarpal instability in normal patients. L. Rombaut showed that in almost 40% of the cases, conservative therapy has a neutral or even a negative outcome.[37] Thereby has to be noted that conservative therapy may be unsuccessful in controlling instability in the longer term.[42]
The instability of joints, leading to (sub)luxations and joint pain, often require surgical intervention in patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Instability of almost all joints can happen, but appear most often in the lower and upper extremities, with the wrist, fingers, shoulder, knee, hip, and ankle being most common.[37]
Common surgical procedures are joint debridement, tendon replacements, capsulorraphy and arthroplasty. Studies have shown that after surgery, degree of stabilization, pain reduction, and patient satisfaction can improve, but surgery does not guarantee an optimal result and both patients and surgeons report being dissatisfied with the results. Consensus is that conservative treatment is more effective than surgery,[27] particularly since patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome have extra risks of surgical complications due to the disease. Three basic surgical problems arise due to EDS: the strength of the tissues is decreased, which makes the tissue less suitable for surgery; the fragility of the blood vessels can cause problems during surgery; and wound healing is often delayed or incomplete.[37]
Studies have shown that local anesthetics, arterial catheters and central venous catheters cause a higher risk in haematoma formation in patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Ehlers-Danlos patients also show a resistance to local anaesthetics.[43] Special recommendations for anesthesia in EDS patients are prepared by orphan anesthesia.eu and deal with all aspects of anesthesia for EDS patients.[44] Detailed recommendations for anesthesia and perioperative care of patients with EDS should be used to improve individual patient safety aspects.[45] Surgery with Ehlers-Danlos patients requires careful tissue handling and a longer immobilization afterwards.
The outlook for individuals with EDS depends on the type of EDS with which they have been diagnosed. Symptoms vary in severity, even within one sub-type, and the frequency of complications changes on an individual basis. Some individuals have negligible symptoms while others are severely restricted in their daily life. Extreme joint instability, chronic musculoskeletal pain, degenerative joint disease, frequent injuries, and spinal deformities may limit a person's mobility. Severe spinal deformities may affect breathing. In the case of extreme joint instability, dislocations may result from simple tasks such as rolling over in bed or turning a doorknob. Secondary conditions such as autonomic dysfunction or cardiovascular problems, occurring in any type, can affect prognosis and quality of life. Severe mobility-related disability is seen more often in Hypermobility-type than in Classical-type or Vascular-type.
Although all types are potentially life-threatening, the majority of individuals will have a normal lifespan. However, those with blood vessel fragility have a high risk of fatal complications. Arterial rupture is the most common cause of sudden death in EDS. Spontaneous arterial rupture most often occurs in the second or third decade, but can occur at any time. The median life-expectancy within the population with Vascular EDS is 48 years.[46]
EDS is a lifelong condition. Affected individuals may face social obstacles related to their disease on a daily basis. Some people with EDS have reported living with fears of significant and painful ruptures, their condition worsening, becoming unemployed due to physical and emotional burdens, and social stigmatization in general.
Ehlers–Danlos syndrome is an inherited disorder estimated to occur in about 1 in 5000 births worldwide. Initially, prevalence estimates ranged from 1 in 250,000 to 1 in 500,000 people, but these estimates were soon found to be vastly inaccurate as the disorder received further study and medical professionals became more adept at accurately diagnosing EDS. In fact, many experts now believe that Ehlers–Danlos syndrome may be far more common than the currently accepted estimate due to the wide range of severities in which the disorder presents.[47] However, the prevalence of the six types differs dramatically. The most commonly occurring type is the hypermobility type, followed by the classical type. The other types of Ehlers–Danlos syndrome are very rare. For example, fewer than 10 infants and children with the dermatosparaxis type have been described worldwide. Ehlers–Danlos affects both males and females of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, although some types are more common among certain groups than others.
Ehlers–Danlos-like syndromes have been shown to be hereditary in Himalayan cats, some domestic shorthair cats, and in certain breeds of cattle. It is seen as a sporadic condition in domestic dogs. Degenerative suspensory ligament desmitis (DSLD) is a similar condition seen in many breeds of horses. Though it was originally notated in the Peruvian Paso and thought to be a condition of overwork and older age, the disease is being recognized in all age groups and all activity levels. It has even been noted in newborn foals. The latest research has led to the renaming of the disease as Equine Systemic Proteoglycan Accumulation, after the possible systemic and hereditary components now being delineated by the University of Georgia.[55][56]

Over 100 people attended a vigil in Chapelfield Gardens in Norwich, as part of the national No to Hate campaign.
The Vigil, organised by Norwich Pride, coincided with ones held around the country on Saturday night.
It was the fourth time the campaign had held the vigil since being launched in 2009, following the homophobic murder of Ian Baynham in Trafalgar Square.
The Norwich vigil saw Chapelfield Gardens lit by over 120 hand-painted candle holders, with the Sing with Pride choir performing and a range of speakers from different community groups attending.
Abraham Eshetu, equality and diversity manager at Norfolk Constabulary and chair of Black History Month, said in his speech: "Through my work in the diversity team, I have come to understand the impact and devastation that hate crime can have, not only on individuals but on families and the wider community.
"Norfolk Constabulary makes this promise to you tonight: if you come and report hate crime to us we will take it seriously, we will support you, we will investigate it, and wherever possible we will take robust action to take the offenders through the criminal justice system."
Organiser Michelle Savage, from Norwich Pride, said: "The Vigil was incredibly moving. The choir sounded wonderful and the speeches were inspirational, but it was the two minute's silence that created the most special moments of all.
"When the bells on the City Hall clock started to chime for 8pm, we knew that we were sharing a silence with thousands of people around the country.
"Ian Baynham's death in 2009 was a tragedy that we should never forget. If we want to stop senseless murders like this happening again, we have to say no to hate."
Mike Stonard, the new chair of Norwich Pride, added: "Norwich Pride wants Norwich to be a city where everyone can be safe and proud to be themselves.
"We want to live in a city where it doesn't matter who you are, how you define yourself, or whether you stand out as different in some way; a city where you can feel safe and be safe from hate crime."

Noah, this Vigil was organised to remember a human being, Ian Baynham who was murdered for no other reason than he was gay. It is not acceptable to label "hate crime" as "PC crime" and equate it with such things as littering.
Monday, October 22, 2012
The chap who killed, was attacked by two white girls and a black youth gangsta, all teenagers!!! something going wrong with todays politically correct 'yoof'.
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Is this for real? No one ever died from excessive litter. There's nothing trendy or right-on about being kicked to death by a baying mob or blown to pieces by a nail bomb.
Thursday, October 25, 2012
It's a shame that the constabulary doesn't have the same attitude to ALL reported crime - not just trendy "right-on" minority group PC crime. How about clearing the streets of aggressive beggars , unlicenced buskers with various animals , illegally riding dangerous cyclists & other assorted drunks & litter louts.

Plasma and Conservation Laws
Name: Dan Status: educator Grade: other Location: CA Country: USA Date: Spring 2013
Plasma is formed when a region of elements become ionized. In my lay person's terms, Energy comes in, forcing electrons to jump ship en masse. This mass flow of electrons looking for new homes, and atoms looking to absorb new electrons creates the dazzling plasma display. This can be demonstrated with applying a high frequency coil to a bulb or other vacuum tube. "Poof" plasma, lightning in a bottle, or mini-sun. I am doing a star gazing field trip with my students where I will apply a high frequency coil to a light bulb to make plasma, and I want to be prepared for the following questions: What causes the light? Is is the energy released when the electron leaves the atom, or when the electron finds a home? (Or is it something else). Heat is released as well, where is this coming from? Is it the excess energy from the high frequency coil, or is heat coming from the atomic reactions? Is there a diagram somewhere that shows the conservation of energy and mass?
Your analogy of electrons "looking" for a home, is not at all bad nor is it inaccurate. Let us put a little more detail on it. Light (or any other electromagnetic radiation) is emitted when an electron (or other particle for that matter -- but let us stick to light to keep things simple) "falls" from a state of higher energy to a state of lower energy. The change in energy may (or may not) allowed energy levels within an atom, or may involve an energy state of an atomic ion. In the most simple terms, it does not matter how you get the electron "excited" to a higher energy, before the electron "falls" into a state of lower energy. The key issue is the "decay" of the electron from a state of higher energy to a state of lower energy. Again, the exciting tool can be a flame, a beam of high energy electrons, collisions between atoms, or a microwave cavity … In any case it is a tool to excite the electrons to a higher energy state followed by a "decay" to a lower energy state, emitting a photon.
The excess energy comes from the exciting source – again a flame, collisions, or other source of energy. That's where the "excess energy" comes from. You can find tabulations of "allowed" transitions (Which ones are "allowed" is a whole other topic, too large for this short answer.) in a reference such as:
http://physics.nist.gov/PhysRefData/ASD/levels_form.html As you can tell the energy levels are abundant!!

I am not a specialist in this field, but I have some doubts as to whether you can produce a plasma stream with a high frequency coil and a light bulb.
Plasma is a mass of charged ions and free electrons, so how can you form a plasma in a vacuum?
You need a gas, a source of high energy to disassociate the electrons from the ions (like a laser), and you need a magnetic field to contain your plasma in.
A high frequency coil will produce an oscillating magnetic field. To magnetically confine a plasma you want a strong consistent magnetic field so you will not lose your ions radially and encourage them to remain in a stream. So I do not think a high frequency coil is what you need. Here is a reference:
If you did achieve a plasma, where would the light come from? I think you are trying to create a nuclear fusion reaction in a light bulb. Light and energy comes from nuclear fusion reactions in that two atoms combine to form a third different atom, the third atom weighing less than the sum of the two colliding atoms. Then, the missing mass is released as energy according to the formula E = m C2.
If you do achieve a plasma, you need to be wary of radiation from light, radio waves, X-Rays and Gamma Rays. Here is an example of what you are dealing with from this article:
Lightning is an example of plasma present at Earth's surface. Typically, lightning discharges 30,000 amperes at up to 100 million volts, and emits light, radio waves, X-rays and even gamma rays. Plasma temperatures in lightning can approach ~28,000 Kelvin and electron densities may exceed 1024 m−3
You can make a neon tube glow using an electro-magnetic field generated by a coil. The energy of the electromagnetic (EM) field kicks electrons on the neon atoms up to higher energy levels, then when they fall back down to their original orbits they emit light. The energy for this action comes from the power supply that powers your coil that stimulates the electrons in the first place. The equation for the conservation of mass and energy is E = m C2. I do not recommend you do this on your own because you have no idea of the magnitude of the fields you are generating and you could hurt yourself or somebody else.
Sincere regards, Mike Stewart
Light is emitted when the electrons jump back DOWN to a bound state in an atom. That is because they give off energy (as light) to enter that lower-energy state. They have to be GIVEN energy to escape their atoms. That comes from the high electric field or from high temperature, depending on how the plasma is generated.
Heat is released because the different ions are constantly running into their container, transferring kinetic energy to it. When the container atoms move faster, that?s higher temperature. So basically the ?heat? given off is one of the ways the kinetic and potential energy in the plasma dissipates to the surroundings.
Richard E. Barrans Jr., Ph.D., M.Ed. Department of Physics and Astronomy
Hi Dan,
Thanks for the questions. Just so you are aware, the plasma in a neon sign is not a "mini-sun" as there are no nuclear reactions taking place.
If you use a standard incandescent light bulb, your high frequency coil will cause the light bulb to be lit up. I suspect you may be using a high frequency coil to illuminate a neon-filled bulb.
Light is caused by electrons moving from high energy orbits to low energy orbits. When the electrons make this jump, they release energy in the form of light. The light can be absorbed by the material and its electromagnetic energy is converted into heat.
Theoretically, you are converting a very, very, very little amount of mass into energy, but this is too small to be measured. For this demonstration, I would not bring in the concepts of the equivalence of mass and energy. I think it would confuse your students.
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have more questions. Thanks Jeff Grell

New tool gives structural strength to 3-D printed works. Objects created using 3-D printing have a common flaw: They are fragile and often fall apart or lose their shape.
"I have an entire zoo of broken 3-D printed objects in my office," said Bedrich Benes, an associate professor of computer graphics at Purdue University. The printed fabrications often fail at points of high stress. The Year of 2011 in 3D Printing. As the year comes to an end, we often tend to reflect on the events that occurred within it and boy… was there lot to reflect on in 2011.
If there is one thing that became obvious to us, it's that 3D printing has come a long way since our reflections of last year. This year the 3D printing world was dominated by an impressive amount of 3D Systems acquisitions, a tremendous growth of new desktop 3D printers and a much larger media coverage than it had ever received before. Prepping Blender Files for 3D Printing. This tutorial was written by Shapeways community member Jeff LaMarche.
Introduction Okay, I've been fighting the good fight with Blender for a few weeks trying to convert some models I originally created for rendering into a printable file. I've learned a lot in the process, so I thought I'd share some of what I've learned. The fast, easy to build, affordable 3D printer – 3D printing for everyone! The Public Library, Completely Reimagined.
Teaching Strategies Fayetteville Free Library, by Lauren Smedley You'll hear a lot of talk about the "death of the public library" these days.
It isn't simply the perpetual budget crises that many face either. It's the move to digital literature, and the idea that once there are no more print books (or rather if there are no more print books), the library as an institution will cease to exist. Ultimaker: There's a New 3D Printer in Town. The new Ultimaker 3D printer made in the Netherlands has arrived in the US.
The machine, which prints bigger and faster than MakerBot printers, was created by three Dutch makers who met at the Fab Lab in Utrecht, Holland two years ago. The Lab is one of dozens of digital fabrication centers around the world affiliated with MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms. Fab Lab/Utrecht's manager, Siert Wijnia, collaborated with web designer Martijn Elserman and grad student Erik De Bruijn on the speedy new machine. "We wanted to have a better 3D printer, not necessarily to start a business," says De Bruijn, who had built several open source RepRap 3D printers before tackling the project. "If Fab Lab wasn't there, this whole thing wouldn't have happened," insists Elserman.

you know how every girl dream of perfect life, perfect husband who could love you all your live, who cares for you, something make breakfast for you, respect you. well I dreamt of exact husband. I never had boyfriend, never went on dates, never kissed anyone, and I am still a virgin. you know why? I wanted to safe this all for the person I am going to spend my whole life..
I dreamt of my wedding day since I was five. dreamt of my perfect husband since I was ten. I was happy with just dreaming. I never knew that I will marry some one who don't care about what I do? where I go? what do? nothing!
I had arrange marriage with world's fifth most richest person of world. Andrew Mason Scott. 31 years old, rich, arrogant, rude, proud of himself, doesn't care about any other person and number one player or can I say man-whore! and most of all eleven years older then me!
let me tell you something about myself. well I am Sarah Matthew, daughter of 'no one popular'. I am twenty years old, college drop out because I wasn't able to afford it anymore. I live with my dad. he was a sales man. he lost his job because of early Alzheimer. my mother.. well I don't know her. dad told me that she left me on dad's door step when I was nine months old, basically my dad raise me alone. and I am happy. but due to dad's Alzheimer I can't leave house up to him so I can't go out, can't make friends, can't go to parties, basically my life is boring and I don't blame my dad for that he devoted his lift for me... but now my dad's condition was getting worst. doctor told me that it wasn't safe for him to stay at home so I had send him to some care centre for Alzheimer patients... it's been six months since dad has been admitted. I live alone now, working as waitress at some cafe. my salary can hardly pay for dad's medicine... but one day everything change and I am living a different live since then... but one thing always has been with me and that 'bad luck'...
I was sitting by the window 'alone' looking at beautiful garden in front of me. I was all alone in this freaking huge mansion.. yeah right mansion..thinking how life was totally different one month ago, when I was single waitress, working hard for her father. one month ago I was free, now I am in this prison. one month ago I was single, but now can't say happily but yeah married. one month ago I was Sarah Matthew, now I am Sarah Andrew Scott. I am married to a workaholic. it's been a month but he didn't talk to properly, he talked just twice like 'Sonia I am going on a business trip for a week' or 'Sonia not now' yeah right "Sonia" he doesn't know my name, once I tried to talk to him but he was busy. I get bored, sometime I visit dad other time I read some novels or talk to maids. yeah right talk to maids. I wanted perfect married life, this was the only thing I wanted since I was five. but I think 'bad luck' is my best friend.. I have to try something to divert his attention towards me...
my thoughts were interrupted by car engine groan...Andrew's car. I ran towards the other window of my room so I could see him. he stepped out of his amazing black Audi 8. he was looking incredibly hot and sexy in that suit and loosen tie, messy Burnett silky hair, he was looking straight that why I couldn't see his deep blue eyes.. he had muscular body, he spend 2 hours in gym everyday..I was lost in his looks. my thoughts were interrupted when a blond bimbo stepped out of passenger seat. she was wearing extremely short black skirt.. huge boobs, she was actually beautiful.. I felt ache in heart when I saw here leaning Andrew and kissing him hungrily, a tear ran down my cheek when he kissed back. this was the first time since marriage he brought some whore at home. I sat on the edge of the bed. crying. I can't see him with other women. he don't like me I know but he should not bring someone when he lives with her wife! even he should not even sleep with some one except her wife!! he is fucking married!! I have to divert his attention towards me!
with that I lay on my bed and went into deep slumber.

Our REAL Sputnik Moment
- 09 Aug 2011
- Written by Ken Alpern
And while much of this indebtedness to such an economic, political and even military rival can be credited to former President G.W. Bush, current President Obama is as much if not more guilty of leading us into this vulnerability even if he doesn't want to even mention the word "China". (Link)
An even greater challenge is to get past the dueling accusations that to this day remain more political than factual in nature. President Obama and the Democrats claim it's the Tea Party-influenced GOP that's to blame, calling them "terrorists" and all sorts of names. The GOP leadership blames the President and the recent Democratic stimulus and health care initiatives for putting us over the edge and others blame both parties for too much spending.
The fact remains that while the liberals in our country decry military overspending and policies that favor corporate excesses, and while the conservatives in our country decry educational and social services overspending, it's hard to deny that both sides aren't bearing honest tidings in their critiques.
It's also true that while we weigh the question of whether some or all of our nation's taxpayers might have to contribute more to paying down our debt, the question of whether that money would be spent well and actually be utilized towards the debt must be answered first.
Other questions to be answered:
Is an 85 year-old the same as a 65 year-old when it comes to allotting Social Security and Medicare benefits?
Is a 33 year-old in good health but out of work for two years the same as a 33 year-old with cancer or multiple sclerosis when it comes to allotting welfare and Medicaid benefits?
If we were to cut the salaries of federal contractors and employees by 5-10%, and implement a federal hiring freeze, could we deliver the same services and quality?
If federal taxes were to go up, would they be employed to pay down our debt or to continue unsustainable spending policies?
Do we let our children's generation pay for this decade of foreign conflicts, or do we pay for it ourselves?
And…of greatest importance…is this generation of Americans really able to rise up to the challenges of this "Sputnik moment"?

The Expendables 2 teaser trailer and poster
by Webmaster. Average Reading Time: about a minute.
Here's an early Xmas present for all Stallone fans, the teaser trailer for The Expendables 2 has arrived online over at Apple, where you can watch it in glorious HD. Action fans will be excited to see Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis are also back, with Chuck Norris and John Claude Van Damme as new arrivals! Simon West is the director of The Expendables 2, and the movie should arrive on August 17, 2012. For more updates on the movie as it develops, come back regularly to the official Sylvester Stallone website and also check out the official site for the movie itself: http://theexpendables2film.com.
The synopsis for the sequel tells how Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Lee Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren), Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) – with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard – are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time – six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother. That is done the Expendables way….
Here's the official poster:
Excited about the return of The Expendables? Let us know in the comments below!

Dimanche 27 mai
I saw a story about something that happened a few years ago recalls. My former partner and I were traveling to India and landed at the airport moviegator in the early morning hours. On leaving the plane we were told that the sampling will take place because the government was very nervous about a drug problem growing. In anticipation of the heat, I was wearing a loose blouse, long skirt and sandals. Due to the long flight and alcohol on board were Dave and I are very funny and somehow stood out. It was no surprise when Dave came up and said he was being sought. I sat waiting to be crazy and too little, let my coffee for myself. The customs officer is expected of me, this was clearly nervous than me and took me to an adjoining room, and told to wait. A few minutes later, a man and a woman sat opposite me. He asked what I was doing in India and when I told him we were on the road, there was talk among themselves before the man asked if David moviegator was my husband. I told him that was my friend and work together for a few months. Then we talked again before moviegator lifting the suitcase on the table and go through it point by point. Building for the official who was about 5. 8 'and quite large, special interest in my Smalls, who were actually very small (I have 5. moviegator 7', blonde, size 10 and 34DD with a nice ass, even if I say so ). the two spoke again before the man said he had to do more and I should be looking for staff. I started to protest, but said the faster, was able to leave before I have done, if everything was okay. S left the room and the woman asked moviegator me to undress. I took my superior, a sense of self conscieous bit because I never wear a bra, and suddenly half naked. 'You have to go to rock,' said the woman, and slowly got up and opened his jacket and put on the table. therefore, tI was here in this small cell, only a small thing, and my shoes. ' Take your underwear please,' she said, and looked at me. She did not flinch, so I pulled my underwear. She said she had a thorough search and asked me to stand straight. He stood before me, almost touching my face and raised my arms up in the air. She ran her hands up her arms and down my side. Strangely, it sent a shiver down the spine and I felt ashamed that I started playing wet between the legs. His hands fell outside of the legs and then they took my shoes to check before bedtime. Then he put his hand between my legs and pushed his legs before his fingers inside of my thigh, but so moviegator far my already wet pussy. I realized he was not wearing gloves suddenyl, who assures me that perhaps the search was moviegator almost over, although I was Actuatorslly, really in a strange way enjoying the attention. Suddenly, she sat and stood behind me. She put her hands on my shoulders and forced me to lean forward and open my legs. Without warning, I felt a finger begin to probe my ass, gently at first, then suddenly with force two fingers probing my rectum. She seemed to be worth a lot of attention and instinctively leaned on his fingers and forced to follow. I thought I would end up on the spot, but again without notice, the fingers were removed and washed in the sink before getting back to me and asked me over the edge of the table to sit in front of her. I did, and put one foot in each of the two chairs apart now makes me very wet pussy. Then he knelt down and face very close, I pulled her lips parted. I sat back on my elbows, but moviegator he was more inclined to back, my back is now on the table. She asked me, I was hiding something in my vagina, because I was very wet, and seemed to lubricate ? I said no, but must be emptied, his smile when he saw something in me. Then gently touched my labia majora, before a finger, then two, then three, and exploring around the same time the shipment of ecstasy. Now lost all inhibitions and had moved to one knee and gently worked my pussy as I forced back on her finger. I started running and I felt moviegator I had to blow on the finger. Suddenly there was a crack in his radio and got up to answer the call. I 'awoke' and sat down. His tone was strong again as she told me she was ready and I could pick up again. I did sheepishly, not wanting to look into the eyes before she left the room. When he returned a few minutes later, she was with the other members again and told me I could get my partner and take a short course. Ten minutes later we were away on board a taxi from the airport. I told David he was questioned, but notelse and never told what really happened.

MEDFORD, Ore. — The three candidates for Jackson County Sheriff made their pitch to voters Thursday.
Jackson County Sheriff Mike Winters, Sheriff's Deputy Bob Sergi, and Ashland Police Deputy Chief Corey Falls answered questions during a public forum put on by the League of Women Voters. The three candidates took turn answering questions from the public on the issues facing the department.
Winters pointed to his record as sheriff as reason why he should be reelected. He said he has pushed for new technology, like the security system installed last year at Shady Cove School, and said he has kept the budget balanced despite a tough economy.
"It's been on budget for the last 12 years, and we haven't come to the taxpayers for one dime of additional revenue," Winters said.
Falls positioned himself as the candidate who would improve resources within the department. He said he wants to push for more accredited training for employees, and keep resources focused on investigating crimes inside Jackson County. He said he's concerned that the department hasn't been open with the public.
"The number one thing they say is they feel is the Sheriff's Office is not available or not responsive to their concerns," Falls said.
The Oregon Department of Justice is conducting a criminal investigation into Sergi, based on a complaint by the Jackson County Sheriff's Office. Sergi immediately said Thursday that he would not comment on that investigation until it is complete.
In Thursday's forum, he said he holds the support of many inside the Sheriff's Office, and wants to see more deputies on patrol to respond to property crimes.
"If we have more deputies on the street, we can prevent those or at least effectively investigate those type of crimes," Sergi said.
If a candidate receives 50 percent of the vote plus 1 in the May primary, they will then run unopposed in the November election. If that does not happen, the top two finishers in May will be on the November ballot.

13 Mar 2013Marriage marks the start of a significant chapter in a person's life. It depicts a sacred union which demands a solid, long lasting commitment between two people, the bride and the groom.
Are you having a tough time keeping this commitment? Are you having constant fights with your wife? Are you noticing the gradual disintegration of your precious marriage? If you are having a hard time managing your relationship with your wife, you may have to face the painful but necessary idea of filing for divorce. Are you having doubts about getting a divorce? Here are signs that let you know that filing for divorce is the best thing you can do for your relationship:
Your special connection is gone. Your uncoupled stage has started a long time ago, and you both know you have grown apart over the years. Truth is, you do not want to spend time together. Your marriage may be in danger if you two prefer spending time with friends and doing activities alone. According to the Author Elayne Savage, this pattern signals the start of disengagement from the marriage.
You do not communicate. Any solid relationship necessitates one key element: open communication. Open, intimate exchanges can rekindle bonds and deepen the attachment between two individuals. If you do not take the time to communicate, this might indicate that your marriage has major issues.
You stopped having sex. Intimacy is a crucial foundation for relationships. It is certainly not a good sign if you two are able to sleep on the same bed without touching or longing for each other.
Do you now see the need to get a divorce? If yes is your answer, then you might as well seek the advice of lawyers for divorce. Much like criminal lawyers Singapore, these legal specialists can handle your marital issues with a solid legal approach. Accomplish your divorce papers with the help a legal counsel.

Titanfall Gameplay E3 Impressions
Chance Asue / Jun 21st, 2013 No Comments
After the suit was settled out of court last year, it seemed as if we would see what Respawn had been hiding all along. The winter came and went, still with no word of what was going on behind their doors. A very vocal and devoted fanbase supported the men and their team, which consists of many former Infinity Ward employees, as they worked on their new project. A few things were certain: Zampella and West were talented leaders, they would create a first-person shooter and they would be partnering with Electronic Arts. Many speculated that EA would utilize the studio to reboot their failing Medal of Honor franchise, or perhaps give Battlefield something that it was missing to match Call of Duty's ridiculous sales figures. Following a long wait, at Microsoft's press conference, Vince and Respawn unveiled Titanfall.
The game is set in the future, at least far enough in the future for mech suits to become commonplace on the battlefield. These are not the typical suits, though. While not as nimble as the foot soldiers and their jetpacks, the suits have plenty of speed for evading shots and rockets. While not appearing overpowered, they do present enemies with a much larger target. Should the armor be damaged enough, players eject directly upwards, making them easy targets. Great risk and reward gameplay for multiplayer.
The demo began with a drop ship being warped in as commanding officers yelled objectives at the team. Views from the large windows displayed a great draw distance and detailed environments that, while mostly grey concrete, had plenty of detail and greenery. Dropping out of the ship and landing in front of a mech suit revealed the size of a Titan in the game. The game has a great verticality, not only by using large mechs and great architecture to wall jump off of, but also creating rich and busy skyscapes filled with battleships and skyscrapers that beg for invaluable attention. The game simply looks incredible.
Unveiling the Curtain
The E3 presentation directed focus towards two monitors in front of us, both displaying a different player. A curtain was eventuallyt pulled back along a side wall, revealing a separate room full of Respawn employees participating in the multiplayer game we had just witnessed. The room was definitely too small for a full 64 player lobby, but it was nice to know that everything we were watching was being played live.
Titans can be called down anywhere on the map, which not only prevents any spawn camping or rushing to vital points, but also allows for some improvisation. Players cannot make Titans rain from the sky, as they are set on a timer, but they could provide for some emergency cover or a distraction. As with other popular shooters on the market, tools and equipment are only half the fun. How players utilize them in unorthodox ways creates a game in and of itself. The Titan looks like it can be a best friend or worst enemy during gameplay.
Respawn Entertainment is one of the most talented development studios in operation. They are creating the type of game that they want, rather than what someone wants of them. Take equal parts of the most popular shooters around and give them to the people that make them great and you have Titanfall, which looks to be like one of the next generation's greatest franchises. Titanfall is set for release in 2014 for PC, Xbox One and Xbox 360.

If you're not on Twitter then you missed the news: I was featured!
Urbane Perspective, an online magazine, which caters to the "modern day Black, Asian, and Latina woman", or urbane females, featured me last month. Not sure what an urbane female is, read on:
An urbane female is hardworking, appreciative, persistent, proud, intelligent, and keen. She enjoys life and gets through adversity with optimism. Surrounded with great company, the urbane woman exudes confidence. She's embraced by the love of her family, the greatness of her friends, or the mutual admiration and comforting respect of her significant other. Her spirit is driven, her creative juices are flowing as she stays in her lanes as she elevates in stride, the urbane woman to flourishes in all she touches because she never stops reinventing herself. |
I am proud to be seen as one and inspired to live up to the honor. I also know that I would not able to do any of what I do if I were not "Surrounded with great company", like my family, friends and blogger buddies so thank YOU!
Now I have to stop before I get sentimental and start crying. Please click HERE and give me a moment to compose myself.
Just make sure you come back Friday when Ananda Leeke, the author of Love's Troubadours: Karma: Book Oneand soon to be released That Which Awakens Me, speaks with me about my Blogalicious experiences on Sisterhood, the Blog Radio. Sisterhood is a well know online blog radio that Ananda featured in her soon to be released book. The show features one on one conversations with real women about their journey to self discovery, one that I am currently on. Our discussion will be held at 9pm EST on Friday, the thirteenth. You are welcomed to join in with questions or thoughts by calling in. The number is noted on the site.
Let me know if you'll be joining us this Friday in a comment below. Its my very first blog radio interview so I would love the support!
Hasta luego / Till then!

Actually I think that I invented this accidentally in 1976 in Brentwood, UK.
I was watching my son play for his school football team against a much weaker school team.
After about our sixth goal without reply, I wanted our team to take it easier on the losing playing and meant to shout "take it easy" but somehow it came out "take it easypeasy".
Strangely, the 5 year olds quickly latched onto this and all started chanting "easypeasy". I had nothing to do with lemon squeezy add-on, which as someone has said came from a UK dish washing commercial and was probably added separately later.
Otherwise, I would probably have added it at the time.
It would be interesting to know if there is a instant of the phrase being used earlier than 1976 and that I had used it heard it before.

The importance of good blood sugar control
There is no cure for diabetes, but it can be managed. You can manage it by taking good care of yourself. If you take good care of yourself, you can live a long healthy life with diabetes. Monitoring your blood sugar tells you if your medicine is working. It also shows you how physical activity and the foods you eat are affecting your blood sugar. The keys to staying healthy are to:
1) Take your medication, 2) Get regular exercise, 3) Eat a healthy meal plan, and 4) Sustain emotional well-being
Know the key things you need to know about diabetes, get support from those around you, and even when it's not easy, work to keep a positive attitude. Then you can manage your diabetes - rather than have it managing you.

Virtual ICU and Organ Donation: Smoothing out the Donation Process
Critically-ill patients in an intensive care unit rely on highly-skilled, experienced intensive care physicians and nurses to monitor their medical condition around the clock. In the ICU, speed of response can make the difference between life and death.
In July 2008, UW Health launched a virtual intensive care unit that provides an extra level of support to ICU staff and helps ensure that ICU patients have immediate access to the safest, highest quality of care possible.
Known as e-Care of Wisconsin, the virtual ICU consists of a staff of board-certified intensivists and critical care nurses connected to patient care areas by a sophisticated monitoring and communication system. When a patient's attending physician is not at the bedside, e-Care staff are able to monitor care in accordance with guidelines based on physician preferences and individual patient needs. As more hospitals in the state link in to e-Care of Wisconsin, more ICU programs will benefit from the extra support the program provides.
But given its sophisticated cameras, microphones and links to ICU staff, how does the virtual ICU assist in the organ donation process?
"By utilizing this new technology, critical care intensivists will be able to collaborate with coordinators from the organ procurement organization to assist and facilitate the optimal management of a potential organ donor," says Dr. Wood, Program Director.
As most potential organ donors have suffered devastating injury and tend to be significantly unstable, the ongoing access to critical care physicians and nurses will allow for improved management and could increase the success rate of organ donation and procurement.
"As more hospitals begin to implement virtual ICU programs like e-Care of Wisconsin, I think we'll see a rise in the number of organs transplanted from each donor," adds Dr. Wood. "Ultimately, that means more lives are saved, which is what e-Care is all about."

Tardy on Rent in Arkansas? You Could Go to Jail
Under something called the "failure-to-vacate" law, more than 1,200 Arkansas tenants were taken to court last year simply for failing to pay their rent on time. According to a report published last week by Human Rights Watch (HRW) and reported by Salon's Natasha Lennard, Arkansas is the only state in the U.S. that can require a tenant to vacate if they are late to pay rent by just one day. Once they are told to move out, the tenants have 10 days to do so, or face criminal charges.

Florida's Most Googled Terms Include "MDMA," "Viagra," and "Alligator Wrestling"
Florida is widely accepted as the most bizarre state in the nation. We have the weirdest criminals, the weirdest politicians, the weirdest general population.Here's what Florida is searching for.
So when real estate blog Estately tallied up the Internet search histories of our collective state, there was really only one surprise: "that it wasn't even weirder."
Estately "ran hundreds of search queries through Google Trends to determine which words, terms, and questions each state was searching for more than any other," its report says.
So here's what Florida's Googling these days:
Alligator Wrestling: Pretty sure we have tourists to thank for this one. Also: Gator Boys.
Botox: Well, obviously.
Eyebrow Piercing: The dream of the '90s is alive in Florida.
Hulk Hogan: The '80s, too.
