NY Times Quotes Steve about Cola
Caffeinated Drinks Catering to Excitable Boys and Girls
''What the cola companies have found is that cola is dead,'' said Steven Grasse, head of Quaker City Mercantile (formerly known as Gyro Worldwide) in Philadelphia, an advertising firm that specializes in marketing to teen-agers and 20-somethings. ''Kids are saying, 'Those are the drinks of my grandparents.' ''
Philly's Worst Logo on Philebrity
In this crazy,workaday world, it's always nice to know we can count on our buddies over at Philebrity to give us some coverage. And though you guys act like we have cooties, we know that deep down in your hearts you like us. You really like us.
There was a collective sigh of relief over here when we heard. Or at least the minute sound of an eye-blink as we immediately paid attention to matters more pressing. Because to have the public more concerned about our logo than the content of our posts would just be an affront on good taste.
Ad Age Mentions Philly's Worst Logo Contest
"Philly's Worst Logo Contest"
Quaker City Mercantile (formerly known as Gyro Worldwide) is mocking the worst logos in Philadelphia by holding a contest. The winner of the worst logo contest will get a brand new logo designed by Quaker City Mercantile.
Judging by the entries, any number of businesses could use some help. Then again, that Penna Quaker City Mercantile (formerly known as Gyro Worldwide) thing squatting on top of their website ain't exactly singing out to me.
Philly's Worst Logo Contest
Is a fugly logo worse than no logo at all? The ad freaks at Quaker City Mercantile (formerly known as Gyro Worldwide) feel your pain. As part of their Philly's Worst Logo contest, they're offering a free redesign (courtesy of the summer interns) to the aesthetically challenged.
It's sort of like winning the lottery if the lottery is plastic surgery and you are Cher's kid in that movie Mask.

Quaker City Mercantile (formerly known as Gyro Worldwide) Announces "Philly's Worst Logo" Contest Philadelphia, PA - We scoured the city and came up with hundreds of terrible ones - but we want to know what YOU think!
Quaker City Mercantile, the Philadelphia-based ad agency that has developed buzzworthy creative campaigns for such clients as Puma, R.J. Reynolds, Pepsi, MTV Networks, Converse and more invites the citizens of Philadelphia to weigh in on what they think is the most hideous logo in the city.
Book Review - The Evil Empire: 101 Ways That England Ruined the World
Rather than still his snarkiness by merely designing ads-Steven Grasse runs the Quaker City Mercantile (formerly known as Gyro Worldwide) agency out of Philadelphia-directing videos (A Perfect Circle; Eagles of Death Metal) and producing B-movies (Bikini Bandits), the author has now taken on Dear Old Blighty with his first book. Grasse doesn't like the U.K. And he wants reparations, to boot.

Daybreak: Attack in Southern Israel Kills 5
Plus, U.S. prepares to call for Assad to step down, and more in the news
• This morning, a coordinated group of assailants who almost certainly infiltrated Israel from Egypt's Sinai peninsula attacked a bus, a military vehicle, and a car, killing at least five and causing more casualties. (Egyptian border guards did manage to kill a couple
African migrants trying to get into Israel.) This incident will draw renewed focus to post-Mubarak Egypt's failure to maintain security. Update: The talk on Twitter is that the terrorists may have come from Gaza and been Hamas. Among the dead, reportedly, are Israeli soldiers and two little children. [Google/AP]
• Finally: Sources say President Obama and the European Union will, as soon as today, call for Syrian President Bashar Assad to step down. [Reuters/Haaretz]
• A U.N. probe found that Syria's regime committed "a pattern of human rights violations … which may amount to crimes against humanity," and recommended referral to the International Criminal Court. Included is the reported execution of 26 blindfolded men at a stadium in Daraa in May and the deaths of nearly 2,000 by mid-July. [AP/WP]
• After a burst of activity, the Gilad Shalit talks are reportedly stalled yet again. [Haaretz]
• Both the Israelis and the Palestinians are preparing for massive, hopefully peaceful pro-Palestinian demonstrations next month, when the U.N. statehood battle happens. [LAT]
• A report from the besieged Syrian city of Homs. [NYT]

I used this once and tossed it in the trash. This mascara clumps more than any mascara i've ever used. I ended up washing it off after I put it on because it looked so bad and using another mascara.

I'm just supershocked at how bad it is!!!
It's one of those terribly pointless mascaras that just makes your lashes black, doesn't add length or volume.
I suppose you would call it a defining mascara? I spent ages layering it up this morning to try to get some decent lashes, but it started to go clumpy after a couple of coats. It does separate nicely I suppose, but if you stop where you get decent separation, you get basically no effect.
Anyone who likes full and soft might like it.
I think the name is very misleading. I think it should have been called superBORING!

This is my favorite mascara! It lengthens and makes my lashes look more full. Clumping is very minimal. I have only used black, but Ive been using this mascara since i was 15 and I'm going to be 21 in December :) Overall for the price of 8.50 it is definitely worth a try!

WOWOWOWOW! I am SO impressed with this mascara, i've had a lot of compliments whilst wearing it. My lashes are naturally curly so i need LENGTH and DEFINITION. this mascara achieves this without problems. The 'comb-like' wand really separates my lashes. I don't understand how other people don't like it! It's easily bulidable which i like, because some mascaras apply too thick on the 1st application. But with this one, it's just the right ammount so you can either go for a natural look or build it up to be more dramatic for going out etc. The wand is quite big but i like it, it means it covers a wider area and you don't have to do so many strokes, it does it in one big sweep! LOVE this stuff, can't you tell?? BUY IT!!!

Its an okay mascara. Its nothing special.
It gives me length, but no volume, so I have to apply another mascara afterwards. I think the brush is too big to get smaller lashes though.

For me this mascara is just OK. The brush is too fat to get into the inner corners of my eyes. I don't get the length I can get from other mascaras.

I really love what this mascara does for my lashes. It gets them very black, very long, pretty thick, and very separated. But I have one problem with it...for the first couple of weeks the formula is moist, not too wet/not too dry (perfect consistency) but then after like the third or fourth week it seems to dry up. OR maybe it's just that it is running out, but I just don't seem to be getting as much product on the brush as I do in the beginning when it is a fresh tube. BUT that is my ONLY complaint.

This mascara is good if u need a very light coat of mascara but this mascara does not give much length or volume. It gives a nice colour and doesnt flake but it wasnt the mascara i was looking for. The packing is also very big which makes it harder to carry around... x

I have this in navy color and it's great and not so great. Here's the thing, Avon superSHOCK mascara is only good for 1-2 coats- why? Because anymore than that and eyelashes starts clumping and you find yourself frustrated and removing it to re-apply. It's just not practical. Another impractical thing is the size, IT'S HUGE! I wouldn't be comfortable pulling this out at a restaurant and applying. But I don't mind these because the good outweighs the bad. It gives a nice subtle 'blue' color. It's light on the eyelash (1-2 coats remember!) and plus it's fun to try out a different color than just black all the time. Removal is easy enough with neutrogena makeup removers, and it also stays on all day (not sure if you go in water though, so caution!)
Overall, I would buy again. 4 stars for above average performance and durability.

New York City, New York
My Rating
Overall I think it's a great tour if you don't have a few days to spend in the Capitol. Unfortunately for us, our tour guide left a lot to be desired ... I got the impression he felt he had better things to do and the commentary along the way being a chore - hence brief and not very inspiring and informative. But we got to see a lot, just in a very hurried and quite stressful way. The Smithsonian Museum could have been left out and allowed a more leisurely walk around the White House and park area, but I guess that was more a strategic stop in terms of a lunch/late afternoon stop. It's good if you don't mind "speed tourism".
Memphis, Tennessee
My Rating
Good overall tour of Graceland. Didn't disappoint. Have to say though, there are way too many gift shops as you make your way along the exhibits but at least there is no pressure buy as you make your way through. A good way to spend a few hours if you are an Elvis fan (or just curious about the great entertainer.)
New Orleans, Louisiana
My Rating
Loved our tour guide (23/4/14) .. Sorry but his name escapes me as this is quite a few weeks down the track, but he was very knowledgeable and very entertaining and kept us laughing throughout the tour. The trip went very smoothly, from pick up to drop off. Great day out of New Orleans if you re interested in the history and the of the way of life on the plantations.
Las Vegas, Nevada
My Rating
Would have to be one of the best tours I have done in a long, long time. Our driver Jefferson and pilot Heather were just fantastic. Seeing the magnificent Grand Canyon from the air just defies words. Sundance run a very professional service.

Abe Acee knows a thing or two about dining out: He spends a lot of time doing just that. And that experience helped him guide his chefs in developing the menu for his latest venture, the Southside Grille.
"I've always liked the place, and I like the location," Acee said of the former Town & Country Restaurant, which now employees 16 people. "The traffic flow was there. I knew it was struggling and I felt I could revive it bring it back."
The building needed a lot of work, Acee said.
"I invested a lot of money in this project, but customers say they're pleased with the results," Acee said.
New to the building are four flat-screen TVs and a 47-foot bar. The menu has been completely overhauled, developed by Acee's chefs and based on Acee's extensive dining out experience.
Added just this past week is a "loaded" salad bar, free with all entrees, but only $6.95 by itself. Soft drink refills are free.
The Southside Grille also offers free half-price drink specials and a free mini-buffet featuring sausage, peppers, onions, two types of meatballs, mini-submarine sandwiches and rolls and butter from 3 to 7 p.m. daily.
"It's pretty healthy stuff," Acee said. "Certainly a lot better than any deep-fried foods."
Menu prices range from a low of $6.95 for the salad bar to a high of $17.95 for a 16-ounce hand-carved prime rib or fisherman's platter consisting of haddock, clam strips, scallops and shrimp. Salads and burgers are priced in the $7 range and specialty sandwiches range from $7 for a French dip to $9.95 for a 6-ounce marinated New York strip steak sandwich.
Entrees range from $11.95 for several chicken choices up to $16.95 for several beef options, and pasta dishes range from $10.95 to $14.95.
After the kitchen closes for dinner, a bar menu consisting of all the menu's appetizers, burgers and specialty sandwiches continues to be served.

DALLAS Belo Corp. shareholders on Wednesday approved Gannett Co.'s proposed acquisition of the broadcast company. KING 5 and NWCNare both owned by Belo.
The $1.5 billion deal, announced in June, still needs regulatory approval. It is expected to close by the end of the year.
Gannett, which publishes USA Today, owns dozens of newspapers and television stations. The purchase of Belo would nearly double the number of TV stations it owns to 43. Gannett would become the fourth-largest broadcast group in the U.S. and its stations would reach nearly a third of the nation's households.
Its offer values Belo Corp. at $13.75 per share.
Belo, based in Dallas, owns and operates 20 television stations and their associated websites.

Samsung announces successors to Galaxy Gear smartwatch
Published on Apr 5, 2014 5:46 AM
MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS - Six months after it launched the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch, the Korean giant is making another attempt at the wearable gadget market with not one, but three new wearable devices, announced at this year's Mobile World Congress technology conference in Barcelona.
The Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo are successors to last year's Galaxy Gear smartwatch. Both have a 1.63-inch Super Amoled display, and are powered by a 1 GHz dual core processor. Unlike the original Galaxy Gear, both Gear 2 devices are not running on the Android operating system, but are using Samsung's own Tizen based platform.
This explains the lack of the Galaxy name in the new watches, as that is a monicker reserved for Android powered devices. The key difference between the two is that the Neo lacks the metal build of the Gear 2, and does not have a 2MP camera.
Given that the biggest criticism of the original Galaxy Gear was its reliance on being paired to a smartphone for most of its features to work, Samsung has fitted the Gear 2 devices with several built-in features, like a heart rate monitor, fitness tracker and 4GB of internal storage, so that the smartwatch can be used as a standalone music player when paired with a bluetooth speaker or headset.

Currently not available on speckproducts.com
Endlessly useful and amazingly simple, the versatile HandyShell iPad 3 cases and iPad 4 covers feature a unique and sturdy handle that can be used in dozens of ways! HandyShell's strong-hinged handle works great as a thumb ring for a one-handed grip or as a stand in landscape or portrait mode—you can even hang it on a wall! Great for presentations, these are some of our best protective iPad cases. They are ideal for a variety of professionals, like doctors, teachers, restaurant workers, construction workers and lots more!
- Fits iPad 4, 3, and 2
- One-handed, on-your-feet convenience. Because you're busy. And on your feet with your iPad. The HandyShell iPad 4 covers make on-your-feet iPad tasks even easier. Plus, you'll enjoy a more secure handle on your iPad when you're holding it with one hand.

- Bump-proof bezel. Because accidents happen, the HandyShell puts a raised bezel around your iPad. If you drop it, the bezel can take the brunt of the impact—instead of your screen.

HandyShell iPad 4, 3, and 2 Cases
the only game, but no-show for air 2
posted by dbPrice Value Quality5Why have an iPad? To see and write on the screen from anywhere when anywhere! What's the best Angle? ANY ANGLE. This is the ONLY case that does it. Portrait, landscape, hanging, propped up. Dangling from one finger while ambling down the street. If Speck had any idea how many people stop me in public asking where I got that great yellow iPad handle thing -- Speck would be making this QUICK for air 2. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here with said new air2 trolling all those other brands for some stopgap half function alt. Painful. (Yeah, the hinge on this sucker loosened in a few months -- I bought two more. The design is so good that who cares about a wee attachment malfunction! )

HandyShell iPad 4, 3, and 2 Cases
posted by Betty sdcPrice Value Quality5Love these cases- we have them for our iPad 2s and mini. THey are versatile, sturdy, and loved by all. Just wish they were available for my iPad Air 2 and my classroom iPad 1s !!!
HandyShell iPad 4, 3, and 2 Cases
posted by RandyPrice Value Quality3Love it. One you use the handle it transforms the iPad into a presentation tool. The only problem is that the connector from handle to case is a pretty cheesy glued on piece of plastic with inadequate anchors for the screws. Mine snapped out. Otherwise, an excellent design.

IPad Air 2 needs one
posted by RickQuality Price Value5The best case for any iPad. I finally upgraded to the iPad Air 2 and there isn't one available yet. I'm using the Apple case and I am not happy with it. Please, here is my blank check. Write any number on it and I will pay it.
HandyShell iPad 4, 3, and 2 Cases
Best ipad case!
posted by Ipad in HawaiiQuality Price Value4.3I've gone through so many iPad cases since the first general iPads, and this is the best case of all, the weighted handle allows your iPad to rest sturdily at any angle you want, unlike the flimsier versions that can easily slip flat. Love this case and hope you will make it for all iPad versions!

Photoshop is one of the world's most powerful image editors, and it can be daunting to try to use skillfully. Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Advanced, the second part of the popular and comprehensive series, follows internationally renowned Photoshop guru Deke McClelland as he dives into the workings of Photoshop. He explores such digital-age wonders as the Levels and Curves commands, edge-detection filters, advanced compositing techniques, vector-based text, the Liquify filter, and Camera Raw. Deke also teaches tried-and-true methods for sharpening details, smoothing over wrinkles and imperfections, and enhancing colors without harming the original image. Exercise files accompany the course.
Recommended prerequisite: Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Fundamentals.
Download Deke's customized keyboard layouts and color settings for Photoshop from the Exercise Files tab.
Photoshop ships with a plug-in called Camera Raw that allows you to process images captured with a mid-range or a professional level digital camera and saved in your camera is so called Raw format. This Raw file represents the unprocessed data captured by the camera's image sensor. Such a file is typically several times larger than an equivalent JPEG but it also contains far more information including a wider range of luminance data. Think of it this way. If Photoshop lets you edit an image and turn that image into anything you like, Camera Raw lets you develop it. It really is a digital dark room. You start by adjusting the white balance, which is the basic color cast of the image. Then you expose the image, correct the contrast, enhance the colors and straighten and crop as needed. You can even adjust certain areas independently of others.
The amazing thing is that no matter what, without the need for layers, every modification is parametric. In other words, you can't harm an image in Camera Raw. Plus you can correct multiple images at a time, something Photoshop can't do, and you can copy modifications from one image to another. And best of all, Camera Raw works inside the Bridge, it works inside Photoshop, and it's fully compatible with Lightroom. If you are a photographer, you have to know Camera Raw. If you are an artist or designer, it's tempting to skip it, don't. Of all Photoshop's big plug-ins, say for Web, Liquefy, Vanishing Point, Camera Raw is the most essential. It offers features that are altogether missing elsewhere inside Photoshop, which is why we'll explore it in such glorious and grandifying detail in the following exercises.
There are currently no FAQs about Photoshop CS4 One-on-One: Advanced.
Access exercise files from a button right under the course name.
Search within course videos and transcripts, and jump right to the results.
Remove icons showing you already watched videos if you want to start over.
Make the video wide, narrow, full-screen, or pop the player out of the page into its own window.

On Day 2 of the strike by BEST drivers and conductors to protest against the new computerised scheduling system, students had a tough time reaching their schools and colleges. Several were scheduled to take exams on Wednesday.
"Fortunately, we had cancelled exams for the lower classes due to election training. Also, parents and students were better prepared today. However, students had a tough time reaching schools in the heavy traffic," said Prashant Redij, Hilda Castelino Marathi High School, Kandivli. Several students also reached late at Shishuvan School in Matunga and Children's Academy in Kandivli, among others.
At some other schools, the election duty assigned to teachers added to the troubles. "Some children were late and the teachers could not reach the school in time. So, we had to manage the exam scheduled for the morning with the staff available on campus. Another problem was that the teachers had to go for election training today as well," said Anjana Prakash, principal, Hansraj Morarji Public School, Andheri.
The situation was similar among college students, who had to leave way ahead of time to reach their exam centres on time. "Looking at the situation yesterday, we left from home an hour earlier than what we would have on a regular day. We had to wait in long queues and got a taxi after more than 20 minutes," said Neha Brahmabhatt, a TYBCom student from Bandra.
"We had anticipated that students might come late. The university had instructed us to accommodate those who arrived late and even those who were not from our centre. We had made necessary arrangements for the same but did not receive any such cases, probably because students were better prepared today," said Madhavi Pethe, principal, Dhanukar College, Vile Parle.

Japan Launches New Fleet To Kill 60 Minke Whales
The Japanese government argued in support of its latest whaling mission on Wednesday, claiming that its call for the killing of 60 minke whales is for research purposes only.
The mission involving five ships "" four whaling ships and one for research "" left Ayukawa port in northern Miyagi prefecture on Wednesday.
The vessels will remain at sea until late May, according to the Japanese fisheries agency.
Japan uses a legal loophole in the 1986 international moratorium on commercial whaling that states "lethal research" on animals is allowed, even though most of the meat is sold as food.
Last week, Japan's whaling fleet returned to shore after five months at sea, having fallen extremely short of their intended whaling goal.
The vessels killed 689 whales "" well short of the intended 765 and 935, the agency said.
Shigeki Takaya of the agency's whaling division, blamed "harassment" by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society environmental group, whose ships repeatedly bashed into the boats and threw chemicals at the ships.
"It's necessary to research whaling in the Pacific as the ecological system of whales in the Pacific is totally different from the one in the Antarctic," said Takaya in support of Wednesday's fleet launch.
Greenpeace did not mention plans for protests at this time, but voiced its opposition to Japan's new mission.
"If Japan wants to simply conduct research, there is no need to kill (whales), either in the Pacific or the Antarctic," said Junichi Sato of Greenpeace Japan.
"For Japan, killing whales and producing whale meat comes first."

Have not run into these at my local B&M. Sounds like a pass when I do see them. Thanks for the review.
This is a discussion on Swag Cigars review within the Non-Habanos Reviews forums, part of the General Cigar Discussion category; Right off the bat I just want to say I may be younger but I definitely am not a part ...
Right off the bat I just want to say I may be younger but I definitely am not a part of the swag fad that is prevalent among the youth these days. The cigar was recommended to me by an employee at my B&M and he gave me one to try even though the name of the brand had already put me off a bit.
Name: Swag Lavish
Size: 5x54
Country: Dominican Republic
Weather: sunny Florida day
Drink: Water
The construction of the cigar was pretty well done and tightly rolled. Lighting the cigar was a little difficult but once it was lit it was fine. The burn was pretty even though it needed some correction through the smoke.
The first third.
Very earthy flavors from the start and a little pepper taste. Draw was a bit tight and their was very little smoke.
Second third.
Pepper taste throughout and a slight creamy leathery taste mixed in. Draw improved as well as smoke production. had to make a couple of corrections at this point because it started to canoe a bit but nothing too crazy.
Last third.
The pepper taste disappeared and the leather taste took over with a hint of a wet grass which kind of grossed me out a bit. The only real problem at this point that I had was the punch to the face of nicotine which had my head swimming. I stopped smoking it a little past the point pictured hear.
All in all its not a bad cigar but I wouldn't rush out to buy it again. The tastes are pretty good but toward the end it just kind of got a bit soggy. Also this cigar really put me on my butt nicotine wise, I have had the infamous LFD double ligero chisel and never really felt it but this one was wow.
Have not run into these at my local B&M. Sounds like a pass when I do see them. Thanks for the review.
yea had it not been that I got it for free I would have never bought them and I probably won't buy one again.
Thanks for the review. The branding alone has kept me away from trying one, but glad to know that I am likely not missing anything.
Nice review. I had a Swag "Quickie" once from a BCP sampler. The strongest taste was the grass you mentioned, quite foul in my opinion.
"... it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep and never to refrain when awake." -Mark Twain
I actually like that grassy flavor....I have the lanceros. They have been getting better and better as they have been resting.
"I don't expect a consumer to spend $15 on a cigar and have to sit on it for two years..." Jorge Padron
I like these things too...They do need lots of rest and have to be smoked at the proper RH though. Granted, I've only had the 6x54 Toro size, and have been thinking about getting a fiver of coronas or lanceros to compare. Maybe with the smaller RG, they will come around faster.
I'm completely unbiased and 100% open minded. Nobody will ever convince me otherwise.
Good review Manny
I also like the spit shot in the third pic

Coming at you from the Dirty Dirty...
Haha you caught me thats when it started to taste like soggy grass

Family Fertility Center at Texas Children's Pavilion for Women opens new IVF lab, first in Houston to offer new monitoring technology
Family Fertility Center first in Houston to utilize EmbryoScope, shown to increase IVF success, and first to offer pain management tailored to each patient
HOUSTON, June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Texas Children's Pavilion for Women, one of the nation's premier hospitals for women's, fetal and newborn health, announced the opening of their new state-of-the-art in vitro fertilization (IVF) lab featuring the latest technology and techniques in reproductive endocrinology, including the first IVF clinic in Houston to utilize a leading-edge embryo monitoring system called the EmbryoScope. The clinic also offers a full spectrum of pain management options tailored to each patient's individual needs and supervised by board certified obstetric anesthesiologists. To see a video, click here.
The hospital's new IVF lab has two EmbryoScope systems that provide continuous moving time-lapse images of embryos in a controlled environment, which have been shown to increase IVF success. Other advanced equipment in the lab includes specialized miniature incubators and a state-of-the-art alert system that provides real-time monitoring of embryo pH and temperature.
"To create one of the top fertility centers in the country, we utilized the expertise of world-renowned consultants and assembled a nationally prominent team to assist in the design and implementation of our lab," said Dr. William Gibbons, medical director of the Family Fertility Center and chief of reproductive medicine at Texas Children's Pavilion for Women. "Our vision has been to offer our patients the latest and most advanced fertility treatments available to improve pregnancy success rates, especially in those complex cases our team is known for taking on." Gibbons is a past president of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology. He is also the director of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Baylor College of Medicine.
The Family Fertility Center's new IVF lab is overseen by two internationally recognized experts, embryologist Kathleen Miller, director of the IVF lab, and reproductive biologist, Gary Smith, Ph.D., director of the andrology lab.
Anesthesia care is a central part of the unique services offered at the center and is led by Dr. B. Wycke Baker, chief of anesthesiology at Texas Children's Pavilion for Women. His team includes highly skilled anesthesiologists and certified registered nurse anesthetists with knowledge and experience in women's reproductive health. Gibbons notes that in his years of experience offering this level of coordinated care is unique because it provides the highest level of patient comfort and safety during IVF procedures, an important part of the patient experience at the Family Fertility Center.
Another key component of the Family Fertility Center is the fertility preservation program for women facing cancer. Texas Children's Pavilion for Women is collaborating with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, one of the largest cancer centers in the world, to provide women facing cancer the option of preserving their fertility before they undergo cancer treatments. Dr. Terri Woodard, a fertility specialist who is affiliated with MD Anderson, the Pavilion for Women and Baylor College of Medicine, offers expert care for cancer patients of childbearing age.
Apart from their patient care role, the fertility experts from the Pavilion for Women and Baylor College of Medicine will focus on research that advances the field of reproductive endocrinology. "To be a center of excellence on the forefront of medicine and provide our patients with the best care possible, our goal is to use research to provide new insights into women's and men's reproductive health, to be a hub of innovation and to find answers to questions that haven't even been asked," said Gibbons. Because of Texas Children's commitment to research, Gibbons notes, the center has the ability to perform sophisticated investigations in order to evaluate and improve the IVF process.
"When we opened the Pavilion for Women we set out to offer the full spectrum of care from conception to delivery and beyond," said Cris Daskevich, senior vice president of Texas Children's Pavilion for Women. "Texas Children's has made a major investment in the Family Fertility Center so that our leading experts could offer the latest fertility treatments, provide hope to patients with complex issues and advance our understanding of reproductive health to the benefit of women and families everywhere."
Located on the Pavilion for Women's third floor, the Family Fertility Center has four exam rooms, four consult rooms, three ultrasound exam rooms, two fully functional operating rooms, a Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), a state-of-the-art IVF lab, a cryopreservation room, preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) lab, andrology lab and dedicated space for academic research.
Texas Children's Pavilion for Women is designed to care for a woman throughout her life and offers a full range of obstetrical and gynecological services. The 15-story, $575-million state-of-the-art Pavilion for Women is one of the few hospitals worldwide to offer a full spectrum of maternal and fetal medicine services including an array of fetal diagnostic procedures and highly specialized fetal surgeries. Level II and Level III NICU care is provided in 36 private rooms, four of which are specifically designed to accommodate multiples. A two-story circular sky bridge connects the Pavilion for Women to Texas Children's West Tower and Clinical Care facilities, enhancing patient care by providing physicians, staff and patient families with rapid access to all patient care facilities.
