By Emily Badger
Several years after the original Cass Tech High School in downtown Detroit was abandoned, a local photographer sifting through the ruins found decades of the school's storied history in the chaos of what had been the yearbook room on the fourth floor. In a cabinet that had largely shielded the trove from water damage, he found boxes and boxes of loose photos and developed film taken throughout the school's life.
Al--and this is not his real name--smuggled the images out over three or four trips and digitized them before turning over the originals to the school's alumni association. The images show students, in black-and-white, seated in the library, or, more recently, mugging for the camera in full color in front of their lockers. Al later returned to the school with dozens of these photos and an "elderly" Canon camera in hand, trying to produce images like this:
Throughout the building, he has simultaneously captured the place in its prime and after decline, with an amazingly precise alignment of angles and eras in a single frame. The images, along with others from around the city, are all collected on the anonymous Detroit photography website Detroiturbex. In a city where many photographers have made their names turning local misfortune into art, Al, a contributor to the site, says this: "I want the website to focus on the city and its issues and spur substantive creative discussion about how things got to where they're at, and where they're going, rather than who took the picture? Is he handsome? Is he an old dude? Is he a white guy, is he a black guy, or girl?" (There is also the simple fact that some of this urban-exploration photography is illegal.)
This particular Now and Then series of photos turns typical ruin photography of the city--which catches it at its worst moment in time--into more of a reflection of change over time.
"I suppose I would like people to see that these buildings--for instance like Cass Tech--had a lot of life in them at one point," Al says. "Cass Tech had up to 5,000 students in it a day, those hallways were packed, those classes had a lot of activities going on in them. While it may seem like a lot of work, it's not so much of a stretch of the imagination to see these buildings with that same level of activity again."
At the time Detroiturbex first started posting these images, there was still faint hope that the historic Cass Tech building, built in 1919, might be salvaged, if not for a school, then for something like apartments. But the building suffered a major fire in 2007 and was ultimately demolished last year. A new Cass Tech high school is now located right beside it.
Some of the other photos in the Now and Then series show historic buildings-- still standing today--changing over a much shorter period of time, as empty interiors further deteriorated within a few months or years due to scrappers, flooding or fire. Whenever he enters a school, Al says, he always goes looking first for the yearbook room or the library, where the historic pictures are located. The main branch of the Detroit Public Library has a wealth of old yearbooks as well. From there, the process of piecing a building's history back together through photography is as painstaking as hunting down a locker number in the background. At Cass Tech, Al took as many as 50 or 60 shots from a single spot trying to find the focal length.
Some of that change today in the city is positive. The historic David Whitney skyscraper, for instance, is now slated for redevelopment as a hotel. Al has his eye on several projects like that around town, which will produce a different kind of "Now and Then" series. "I've got pictures beforehand," Al says, "and now I'm just waiting for the positive to catch up."

Yup the youth hockey league where the focus is less on skating and scoring, and more on trying pummel the 10 year old in the different color jersey's face in from the first whistle to the last. Not to stereotype but they're probably all hammered drunk too if I had to guess. Can't criticize the coaching one bit. These are 10 year olds. How many are going to be professional hockey players? 2%? Meanwhile 100% need to know how to beat people up on ice if they're going to make it in Russia.

Solia Loves Your Hair Flat Iron
Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...Mary Ellen Y.HairLight BrownThick or Coarse HairGreat Flat IronI have really thick hair and I love this flat Iron. I got one about 4.5 years ago and I used it 3-4 times a week. It takes me roughly 5-10 min instead of the usual 20-25 with my old Remington flat iron. It traveled nicely in a thermal case. I brought it to college with me and dropped it and the plates fell off. I snapped them back on but it isn't the same. It smells like it is burning. However this is the longest I have ever had one of these and I had dropped it many times before with no issues. I plan to buy another one for Christmas because I have not found any other product that works so well for so long. Before I dropped it it worked equally as well as the day I took it out of the box.posted Oct 18, 2013Link to this post
Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...Lj2Anchorage AKHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairGreat Ceramic IronI purchased this ceramic iron as a back-up to my CROC titanium (which keeled-over after 4 years), and I'm very happy with the quality of my press when I use this. I was able to straighten my damp hair effectively & efficiently without burning/damaging my hair (which is down my back) in about 45 minutes. I have ethnic hair and was a little worried that a ceramic wouldn't be able to do the job.
I will say my only complaint is that it pulls your hair. I've been losing 2-3 strands when I press my hair, because the plates aren't beveled/flush near the tip & the on/off panel of the iron. This is a huge irritation for me. Once I get my CROC replacement, I'll only use this as a back-up (in another 4 years). =)posted Oct 15, 2013Link to this post -
Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...CarolynHairBlondeCurly HairThick or Coarse HairLove It!When I read the reviews on this straightener I seen that it had a lot of good and bad reviews. I was skeptical about getting it but I'm glad I did. It makes my hair straight, not as thick looking, and doesn't burn my hair. my Old straightener burned my hair ( leaving that nasty burnt smell ) and didn't straighten my hair as well. This is one of the best straighteners that I have owned by far.posted Oct 13, 2013Link to this post
Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...Maureen H.United StatesHairDark BrownColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairTons Of Shine! From Jamaican To Baby Fine!I first bought a pink solia flat iron in 2009. I have VERY baby fine color treated hair with an undesirable wave all throughout. My main concern was my hair wouldn't be able to handle the heat without damage. My fears were put to rest after my first use. My hair actually looked HEALTHIER! lots of shine, & perfectly straight with little effort. I shared my Solia with my best friend whose Jamaican.She needed to spend a little longer to achieve perfectly straight hair..but with a little more patience, her hair came out just as beautiful as mine! I've seen lots of bad reviews and noticed most came from women with very coarse and/or ethnic hair. Ladies, you have to realize even the best flat iron is not a miracle worker! eventually you can achieve the look you desire -- but keep in mind, you'll need a little more effort put in if you have coarse and/or ethnic hair .. no matter what iron you're using! I can assure you you'll put in the least effort, and get the best results from the Solia! buuuuuut .. I'd also like to note my issue with the Solia as well. After about six months use, I noticed my iron would randomly turn on & off by itself. I realized there was a short in the wire which was most likely caused by storing the cord wrapped around the iron. THIS IS A NO NO! I believe my first Solia would still work without any issues(4 years later!) had I not stored it this way! please keep your cords hanging free!posted Oct 11, 2013Link to this post
Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...CorelleHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairGood...but Only For About A YearThe picture I posted along with this review is the replacement one I received about a year ago. The first one I got worked great for a little over a year. Then one day while I was using it like I always did and let it sit while I sectioned my hair and combed it, I started to smell a burning smell and looked down at it and the plates were melting off! Luckily it was still under warranty and I was able to get a replacement. Unfortunately the replacement only lasted a little over a year as well and the same thing happened! I have never used this iron on the highest setting and this happened at two different locations...so I know it wasn't the electrical outing or anything like that. If it wasn't for this happening it would be a great flat iron. This is just a warning for those purchasing it and hopefully if you do get it and this happens it does so within the 2 year warranty of the first one you get. The replacement one I received was still only under the first one's 2 year warranty...so I can't get another replacement one :(posted Oct 9, 2013Link to this post

Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...Crystal D.Houston, TXHairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairAmazing, Salon Quality Results, Exceeds Expectations!!!First let me commend folica on their great site. I love that they allow photo reviews. That was the main feature that helped me in my decision to buy this flat iron.
I have been natural for about 1.5 years now, and I DO NOT straighten my hair at home. I only wear my hair straight when I go to the salon, because I just cant seem to get the same sleek silky look when I do it my self. But we all know how pricey a trip to the salon is. And I would need to go once a week to keep my hair up the way I prefer it to be.
I have bought so many flat irons and curling irons. I have tried the chi, I have tried ion, I have tried buying new blow driers; nothing worked. I have bought expensive hair products and shampoo and conditioner; still nothing worked. I always ended up with a puffy not silky style. After all that I came to the realization that is was me!!! I am not a hair stylist. Hair is just not my forte', and I'm OK with that. But I can only wear a bun for so long.
I noticed the natural styles I have been wearing probably aren't the healthiest thing for my hair. I noticed some breakage, and I hate the natural hair product build up. So I recently decided it is time to try this flat iron thing again.
I did an extensive search to find the right flat iron for me. And here I am.
I must say, I was very pleased with the speed of delivery ( I didn't even get express shipping and it still got here fairly fast).
The product was just what I ordered, my full order was there.
The PRICE was fantastic, I love that they offer the trade in program so the flat iron was much less than I intended to spend.
But what has really caused this flat iron to win my heart is the ease of use. It usually takes me (from wash to finish) about 3-4 hours, none stop to get my hair in a so-so style. Using my new solia flat iron it took me (from wash to finish) 1.5 hours. That was including stopping and fixing food and changing diapers and letting my husband take a shower while i played with our lil diva. I only went over each strand about twice, on a lower setting then I would normally use (I would normally use the highest setting and still have to go over my hair about 4-5 times, plus use a curling Iron).
I did not use a lot of product in my hair, and only used some before blow drying.
When I was done flat ironing my hair, it was sooooo silky and smooth. I could easily run my fingers through my hair, even now the next day there are virtually no tangles. It's shiny and healthy and sexy just like it's advertised on the packaging.
My husband loves the out come, and I haven't had this many compliments on my hair in so long.
And I did it all my self!!! This is a must have styling tool for everybody!!!posted Oct 1, 2013Link to this post -
Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat Iron (...KristenHairLight BrownNormal HairColor Treated HairBig Let DownI was so excited to get this straightener. It is a really good deal and since I don't straighten my hair that much I really didn't want to spend a lot of money. I only used it 3 times and each time may hair would get stuck in the crack of the plates and pull until it snaps. It was very painful! I do not recommend this straightener. I have no idea why it has such good reviews. I am exchanging it for a BaByliss Pro Nano 1 1/4. It's a little bit more money, but I think it's worth it if you are going to keep all of the hair on your head!

[WARNING: The following story contains spoilers from the season finale of NBC's Hannibal.

A chill wind blows onto your TV screen as summer beckons, with one last ghoulish chapter in the artful and macabre saga of NBC's Hannibal, Bryan Fuller's deliciously suspenseful and deeply unsettling twist on the Thomas Harris franchise. If we weren't in a boom time for quality drama featuring such an array of complex, morally ambiguous and compellingly portrayed male leads, the performances of Hugh Dancy as the psychologically broken profiler-for-the-FBI Will Graham and Mads Mikkelsen as his mentor/secret tormentor Hannibal Lecter would be slam-dunk Emmy bait.
The action is about to pick up on NBC's Hannibal.On Thursday's Silence of the Lambs-esque episode, "Entrée," (10/9c), Eddie Izzard guest-stars as an imprisoned killer who, after murdering a nurse inside the asylum, now claims to be the Chesapeake Ripper. Refusing to believe that the big fish he's been chasing for years is already behind bars, Jack (Laurence Fishburne) sends Will (Hugh Dancy) and Dr. Bloom (Caroline Dhavernas) to question Izzard's character... read more
Here's something you've probably never heard anyone say while watching NBC's Community: Yeah, that could happen.
And so it is this week, with an episode (8/7c) by Oscar-winning screenwriter/goofball extraordinaire Jim Rash (Dean Pelton), in which Troy and Abed go too far — what else is new — in their obsession with cheesy body-switching movies. Before you can say Freaky Friday, Troy is adopting Abed's dislocated mannerisms while Abed channels Troy's giddy swagger. Donald Glover and Danny Pudi are, as usual, a joy to watch, even if the message behind their madness is delivered with a heavy hand reflective of this uneven transitional season. And who could blame Rash for giving himself some of the best bits, as the Dean imagines he has pulled off his own body switch with his numero-uno obsession, the unamused Jeff Winger (Joel McHale).
Could it be that NBC has produced a keeper in the deliciously creepy Hannibal? We shouldn't break out the proverbial Chianti just yet; the early returns have been modest, to put it mildly, but in this tough-for-NBC time period (Thursday, 10/9c) that the network once owned, it's looking better than it has lately (with an insta-dud like Do No Harm or the below-the-radar Rock Center). And the media buzz, while understandably mixed, is stronger than for most of the networks' midseason yawns. With repeats on the other networks this week, and featuring one of the show's most relentlessly unnerving chapters to date, this is as good a time as any to sample Hannibal's unsavory wares.

The Port Authority, the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 85 and Allegheny County have reached a tentative contract agreement.
If approved, the agreement is the first step in preventing the 35 percent service cuts, resulting in layoffs and closing of the Collier Garage and various park and ride lots around the area. The cuts were scheduled to take effect in September.
That agreement will be considered by the Local 85 membership on Aug. 19 and the Port Authority Board, which will meet in the days following the union vote. Details will be made public at that time.

Yom Kippur
Dora Bas Rivka Silver O'H
The Shofar of Elul and the Days of Awe
We can differentiate between the Shofar of Elul, which is primarily a wake-up call, "Wake up, you sleepers, from your sleeping, and those of you who are in deep slumber, arouse yourselves from your slumber. And Return to Hashem!" By the end of Elul, we are, hopefully, fully awake and ready, or at least aware, of the "Fear and Trembling" required by Rosh HaShanah.
The basic combination of sounds produced by the Shofar both during Elul and on Rosh HaShanah is "Tekiah-Teruah-Tekiah." The "Tekiah" is a straight sound, a sound of attention, a call to gather. It's possible that the most important sound in Elul is the "Tekiah," the call to attention. Whereas, the central sound bearing the Rosh HaShanah-specific content is the "Kesseh," the Hidden One, the sound concealed within two "Tekiot;" namely, the "Teruah."
Unfortunately, the meaning of the "Teruah" is unclear. The Talmud considers three possibilities for its meaning: the 1) "Shevarim," 2) the sound which we call the "Teruah," and 3) the sound which we call the "Shevarim-Teruah."
The Broken Sound
The "Shevarim" is, as its root, "shin-bet-resh," "to break," implies, a sound of brokenness. It is a sigh, a sound of despair. The despair is over the distance felt from Hashem, caused by our sins. A possible reason that the sigh has to be within the two "Tekiot" is that a sigh is considered destructive; it can break the body. It emanates from the heart and crushes the heart. Without the uplift of the "Tekiot," the effect would be to leave us in a state of depression.
The Wailing Sound and the Sighing-and-Wailing
An alternative for the meaning of the "Teruah" is the sound [which we, confusingly, call the "Teruah"] of wailing. It is the undulating sound produced by mourners, especially women, at funerals in the Middle East. This too is a sound of despair, perhaps beyond despair, when all hope is lost. This too cannot be our final statement. Again, a lift out of that mournful attitude is required, and that lift is provided by the "Tekiot." The third possibility is a sigh-and-a-wail, which we call the "Shevarim-Teruah," again enclosed within two "Tekiot," with their unique restorative powers.
Three "Additional" Rosh Hashanah Prayers
The Mussaf of Rosh HaShanah contains three remarkable "Tefilot," or Prayers: "Malchiyot," "Kingliness," "Zichronot," "Remembrances," and "Shofarot," "Calls of the Shofar."
In "Zichronot," we asked Hashem to remember, in our behalf, that ultimate act of self-sacrifice, performed by Avraham when he brought Yitzchak to the "Akeidah." We asked Hashem to suppress his legitimate anger against us as Avraham, ready to sacrifice his son, suppressed his natural fatherly mercy. How he raised the knife until Hashem intervened at the last moment, and accepted the mysterious ram which, according to Pirkei Avot, was created on the first Shabbat Eve. And then we blew the ram's horn.
In "Shofarot," we were brought again to Mt. Sinai, to that awesome event when Hashem gave us the Torah, amid thunder and lightning, and the rising sound of the Shofar. When "You were revealed in Your cloud of glory to Your holy People to speak with them."
And it is described there how the Manifestation of the Divine Presence, the Arrival of the Holy King, is heralded with eight Temple instruments, beginning with the "Tekiah"-call of the Shofar: "Praise Him with the blast of the Shofar; praise Him with lyre and harp. Praise Him with drum and dance; praise Him with organ and flute. Praise Him with clanging cymbals; praise Him with resonant trumpets. Let all souls praise G-d, Halleluyah!" ("Tehilim"/Psalms 150)
The motto of Rosh HaShanah, the Day of Judgment, was declared: "Blow the Shofar at the time of the New Moon; when the moon is hidden, to announce a joyful day for us, for it is a decree made known to Israel; a Day of Judgment for the G-d of Jacob." There is a Law and there is a Judge! There is an infinitely moral basis for life: G-d's Law for Man, the Torah. We fear, and we tremble, but we rejoice!
We prayed, "Our G-d and the G-d of our fathers, sound the great Shofar for our freedom,..Bring us to Zion, Your City, in glad song, and to Yerushalayim, home of Your Temple, in eternal joy."
The End of Neilah
And, at the end of Neilah, with the closing of the Gates of Prayer as Yom Kippur draws to a close, the Service rises to a crescendo:
We declare in unison, "Hear O Israel, the L-rd is our G-d; the L-rd is One!"
Then three times, "Blessed is the Name of His Glorious Kingdom for all Eternity!"
And finally, seven times, "The L-rd is G-d!"
We acknowledge the departure of the "Shekhina," the Divine Presence, with a "Tekiah Gedolah!" a Great "Tekiah," a long straight blast of the Shofar. At this time, there is no room for sighing or wailing. We have hopefully been forgiven, and our sins have been atoned for. We look forward to our Redemption; May it come in the blink of an eye!

A A+F Campus Dining: Its pretty good but I enjoy buying my own food and dining on my own time. The cafeteria staff can be moody which is frustrating when we pay the amount of tuition.
C A+F Campus Dining: The food is getting much better, but still has some problems. The Hans is a terrible dinning hall but only freshman use it. North Side and Taco Bell are pretty good but can get repetitive. They're opening more restaurants and dinning halls in the next few years though.
B A+F Campus Dining: Its your typical dining hall
B A+F Campus Dining: There is a ton of places to go for food that doesn't break your wallet.
F A+F Campus Dining: The main dining center on campus, The Hans, is always the first thing to come to mind whenever someone asks what to change about Drexel. Alot of students enjoy The Hans because it is a buffet and depending on if you have a meal plan or not, could be very beneficial. However, alot of students report that the food served at The Hans makes them sick immediately after eating it.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Marina Lamanna
Meal plans at Drexel can go either way. It really takes being flexible to make it work. For example, the meal plan can be a great deal if a student eats a lot, in which case, all-you-care-to-eat Handschumacher Dining Hall will be an excellent choice. On the contrary, if a vegetarian student doesn't enjoy the vegetarian option and only eats a bagel, this could be an expensive mistake. Seasons offers different sandwiches, salads, and quiches based on the seasons. Students are also a big fan of Northside Dining Terrace, where they can get Subway, Currito, Chick-fil-A, and various convenient-mart foods on the first floor of Kelly Hall. Students can also use their Dragon Dollars here—a major perk.
Students sometimes alternate their lunch choices, but they tend to stick with the lunch trucks for their speed and low prices. Cheap and convenient food is essential because you are hungry at times of the day other than breakfast, lunch, or dinner, so you need options to fulfill that craving to have a pizza or french fries at 3 a.m. Since there aren't cafeterias that stay open 24 hours, restaurants such as California Pizza that are close to campus and open late, come in handy. Lots of choices that require less money always make dining better for everyone.

Just thought you might be interested in our snow pig. Since we are BBQ people we thought we would do something a little different than a snowman.
The pig was constructed today (Saturday) by Roy "Honcho" Gregory, Rob Giordano, Robert Giordano Jr. and Alexis Giordano. It is on Honchos lawn on the border of the Town of Wheatfield and the City of North Tonawanda on Witmer Road.
Honcho and I run the Smokin' Eagles Internatonal BBQ Festival that moved to North Tonawanda last year and also run the Old Falls Street Ribfest with the help of the Conference Center on Old Falls Street Niagara Falls, USA.

Everyone in the north country recognizes that Fort Drum plays a huge role in the region's economy. Just how big is the subject of a report the post puts out every year, called the annual economic impact statement. This year's report says Fort Drum contributed over $1.6 billion dollars in spending in the 2011 fiscal year.
A group of Jefferson County legislators has for the second time in two years expressed opposition to offshore wind turbines in Lake Ontario. Almost two years ago, the New York Power Authority proposed an offshore wind turbine project, which Jefferson County rejected. Now the county may move to oppose federal overtures in that direction.
In a struggling economy, one business is on the rise and making an impact in the area: coffee roasting.
John Kupperman, owner of Smith Housewares and Restaurant Supply, says Syracuse is the highest coffee consuming city per capita in the country. People in the area have roasting businesses accessible to them, and many prefer the taste of freshly roasted coffee as opposed to store-bought. Kupperman says the coffee roasting business is a good one.
There's a lot of development just around the corner in Clayton, a summer tourist destination on the St. Lawrence River. Town and village officials – and local business owners – are excited about several projects in the works that could put back to use a former industrial site along the river.

What drives those who have invested their time in the Occupy Wall Street movement, and what message is at the movement's core?

With Kodak embarking on a restructuring effort under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the future of the imaging icon remains unclear.
But one aspect of Kodak's legacy is already deeply imprinted onto the Rochester community.
Even as Rochester's most famous company struggled mightily to reinvent itself, the Rochester region steadily fought back - leading the state in job growth in recent years and outpacing its upstate peers in economic vitality.
One key reason: A long history of top-notch human capital flung into the community - willingly or not - as Kodak's fortunes withered.
The expansion of Syracuse's Carousel Center Mall—the first stage of the grander and still-planned project called Destiny USA—seems to be getting some traction of late. Parts of the expansion will be open later this month. David Aitken, a Destiny executive and spokesperson, discusses the expansion and the future plans for the project, and reflects on why the Destiny project has been such a political and economic lightning rod for the region's residents and the media. He also discusses the exterior appearance of the expansion and the possible tensions—and synergy—between this project and t

This article is reprinted with the permissionof the Journal of Reproductive Medicine; Volume 39, Number 4, April 1994: pages281 â 284
Women members of the newly formed Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation (EDNF) were surveyed with a very detailed questionnaire with 50 questions concerning family history and inheritance, past medical history, and obstetric and gynecologic problems, They entailed the largest extant database on Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) patients. The mean age of the 68 women who responded to the survey was 42 years, most had EDS types I, III, IV and unknown. Forty-three women had 138 pregnancies, 13 women never married, The stillbirth rate was 3.15% (3/95); the preterm delivery rate was 23.1% (22/95); and the spontaneous abortion rate was 28.9% (40/138). There was a cesarean delivery rate of 8.4% with 14.7% having perinatal bleeding problems. One woman (EDS type IV) had congestive heart failure. Common gynecologic problems were recurrent anovulation (41.3%), recurrent vaginal infections (53%), abnormal cytologic smears (19%); and sexual dysfunction (61%), irregular menses (28%), endometriosis (15.8%); vaginal dryness (25%); and a need for hysterectomy (19.1%)- In this largest series of pregnancies with EDS, we found relatively high rates of abortion, preterm delivery, pregnancy-related bleeding and stillbirth. Women with EDS also seem to have high frequency of anovulation, vaginal infections, abnormal cytologic smears and dyspareunia.
INTRODUCTION The Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous collection of at least 10 connective tissue disorders causing abnormal production or secretion of collagens (Table I). Early reports on EDS emphasized joint laxity and skin hyperextensibility in the disorders. The classification of EDS is based on phenotype manifestations, specific biochemical abnormalities and mode of inheritance. The main clinical features are fragility of the skin and of the dermal blood vessels, characteristic "papyraceous" scars, hyperextensible and transparent skin, and hypermobile joints. Most reports in the obstetric and gynecologic literature have been anecdotal and were published before the various types of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome were recognized. There are several case reports that emphasize type IV EDS as distinct in carrying a high risk of major complications and maternal death due to ruptured blood vessels. The maternal mortality rate in type IV EDS has been estimated to be 25%.
It has been suggested for many years that during pregnancy, women with EDS are at increased risk of vascular complications, including varicose veins, aneurysm of blood vessels, cerebrovascular accidents, increased bruising, antepartum and postpartum hemorrhage, separation of the symphysia pubis, hematoma formation, increasing joint laxity, premature rupture of the membranes and prematurity. In nonpregnant women, menometrorrhagia, recurrent pelvic floor relaxation and uterine prolapse have been reported. However, because of the low incidence and multiple types of EDS, there are no recent large series from which one can draw any conclusions regarding obstetric and gynecologic symptoms, signs, morbidity or mortality. Recently, the Ehlers-Danlos National Foundation (EDNF) brought together enough patients with EDS to ask some meaningful questions. Below we report on any obstetrics and gynecologic aspects and complications in the largest extant group of women with EDS.
MATERIALS AND METHODS A detailed questionnaire was mailed to women members of the EDNF. Fifty questions inquired about family history and inheritance, past medical and surgical problems and complications, obstetric and gynecologic history and issues of sexuality. Sixty-eight questionnaires that were completed and returned formed that database from which this report was generated. There were several cases in which no specific EDS type had been clinically assigned to the patient, and they are referred to below as "unknown".
RESULTS The women surveyed had a mean age of 42 years. Of the 68 women, at least 30 had some relatives affected by EDS. The diagnosis was made clinically in two-thirds of the women. Very few women used alcohol (2 women, more than six drinks per week) or drugs; only 6 women smoked +\- O.5 packs per day. Eleven women were unemployed, and 30 had a professional career. Of the 68 surveyed, 42 had had 138 pregnancies (3.2 per woman). Thirteen women (19%) were never married.
The outcomes of pregnancies by EDS type are displayed in Table II. The incidence of bleeding problems during pregnancy was 14.7%; there were 40 miscarriages (29%), 3 stillbirths (3.15%) and 13 pregnancies with an antepartu m and/or intrapartum hemorrhage. There was one pregnancy with heart failure (EDS type IV), I with hip pains, I with preeclampsia and I with separation of the symphysis. Difficult or prolonged Iabor was reported for 5 (5.2%) pregnancies and precipitous labor for 2. Forceps delivery, breech delivery and retained placenta occurred in I pregnancy each. The preterm delivery rate was 23.l% (22/95), and there were 15 (15.7%) small for gestational age infants, The cesarean delivery rate was 8.4%.
Recurrent anovulation, frequent and recurrent vaginal infections, abnormal cytologic smear and sexual dysfunction due to dyspareunia were relatively common, with incidences of 41.3%, 53%, 19% and 61% respectively (Table III). Gynecologic problems included irregular menses (16/57), with most women having periods every 15-40 days. Menorrhagia (longer than seven days) was found in eight (13.7%) women. Pubarche and thelarche were in the normal range. Endometriosis was common (10/63, 15.8%), with seven women having severe cases; however, in five women, the diagnosis was made on the basis of the history and physical examination alone. Five of 10 women with endometriosis had EDS type IV. Hysterectomy was the most common gynecologic operation. Three women had a uterine prolapse, and two had cystocele and rectocele repair. Most of the women used contraceptives and had sexual activity with one male partner, however, many expressed having unsatisfactory sexual activity (15/58, 25.8%), dyspareunia (I2/58, 20.7%), sexual dysfunction (7/59, 11.8%), postcoital bleeding (5/59, 8.5%) and vaginal dryness (15/60, 25%).
DISCUSSION EDS is a heterogeneous collection of connective tissue disorders. The incidence of complications varies with the different types. The precise underlying biochemical nature of the complications in several EDS types is known. However, in most clinical complications, the precise mechanisms are still a matter of speculation. In this series we attempted to look at several clinical obstetric and gynecologic symptoms, signs and complications in a large group of women with EDS.
This was the first attempt to create an EDS obstetric and gynecologic database, The need for such a database was obvious at the first meeting of the EDNF. This type of database has the limitation of selection bias and dependence on retrospective patient reporting.
In this series, we found suggested associations between miscarriages, antepartum hemorrhages, stillbirth and EDS. Previous series had similar findings as well as increased frequencies of backache, varicose veins and straie gravidarum, In 1966, Barabas reported on 39 pregnancies with 14 premature deliveries (defined as < 5.5 lb.), of which 13 started with premature rupture of the membranes. All the deliveries occurred between 32 and 35 weeks of pregnancy. The other reports were published earlier, had smaller numbers, did not contain information on EDS typing or defined prematurity as a neonatal weight < 2.5 kg. Beighton reported a 350%, (9/32) premature delivery rate in EDS type I (gravis). In the present series, we found a high preterm delivery rate, 23.1% (22/95); however, most women having preterm deliveries did not have premature rupture of the membranes. When the 95 deliveries are classified according to EDS type, there are still too few pregnancies in each type for meaningful conclusions.
Lethal complications of EDS (especially EDS type IV) have been reported extensively. The present series was biased toward women with survival and very low rate of serious complications (dissecting aneurysms, arterial rupture, vascular complications). We did not find high rates of postpartum hemorrhages or surgical interventions, as found in some earlier series. None of the patients in the present series had serious bleeding problems during pregnancy.
The literature on gynecologic problems in women with EDS is much scantier than that on obstetrics problems. Most of the clinical gynecologic problems could be easily explained by the skin and supportive tissue fragility in women with EDS. In our series very few women had surgery for symptoms of pelvic relaxation; however, recurrent vaginal infections, sexual dysfunction, vaginal dryness and dyspareunia were very common complaints. A more extensive gynecologic and urogynecologic evaluation in women with EDS is planned.
Obstetricians and gynecologists should be aware of the clinical symptoms and signs that reveal the possible presence of EDS and should understand that today many of the disorders can be confirmed by biochemical examination. Diagnosis should entail the patients' obstetric and gynecologic risks as well as the risk of transmitting the disease to their children.

Too bad it's winding down...
Lovers to have sex in front of studio audience on new Mariella Frostrup show
Couples are to have sex in front of a studio audience for the first time in a new Channel 4 programme called Sex Box.
The couples will be shielded from view in an opaque, sound-proof room attached to a studio, and will emerge to discuss their experiences immediately afterwards with a panel of sex experts
The aim of the show is to promote honest and open discussion around "real sex" in light of the explosion of online porn.
The volunteers include a gay couple in their 30s who hope to shatter myths about gay sex, and a heterosexual couple in their early 20s who think people do not talk openly enough about sex.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Greater Cleveland Flute Society (GCFS) announces a recital and masterclass with flutist Robert Dick on Sunday, Oct. 6, at 1:30 p.m. The event will be at The Music Settlement, 11125 Magnolia Dr., Cleveland. Doors open at 12:30 p.m. This event is free for GCFS members (non-member admission: $15/adults, $10/students w/ID).
Dick lives in New York City and is on the faculty of New York University and the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center. He holds both undergraduate and graduate degrees from Yale. With equally deep roots in classical music old and new and in free improvisation and new jazz, Robert Dick has established himself as an artist who has not only mastered the flute, but has redefined it and its music. He is the inventor of the "Glissando Headjoint®", which does for the flute what the "whammy bar" does for the electric guitar.
Robert Dick will be performing a program of original works, including Lookout; Fish Are Jumping; and Flying Lessons (all composed by Robert Dick). He will also perform works by G. P. Telemann and Edgard Varese.
This program will also feature a clinic for all flutists followed by a masterclass (participants for the masterclass were chosen by blind audition). Dick says, "Flutists often think that learning new music, new sounds and techniques is something for the devoted (and advanced) few. Everyone can improve their playing through practice of throat tuning and other techniques I'll teach."
Upcoming GCFS Events
Information about all of these events can be found at www.gcfs.org.
The Greater Cleveland Flute Society (GCFS) sponsors recitals, masterclasses, student festivals and lectures throughout the year to promote flute education and instruction in the community at all levels. GCFS provides outreach activities to enhance awareness of music and the flute through performance and is actively involved in regional and national organizations. Its members include students, adults, teachers, amateur and professional flutists and corporate sponsors. The Greater Cleveland Flute Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

The Advocate has listed St. Louis as its number 15 pick on its list of the "Gayest Cities in America" for 2013.
Ranking criteria included points for the number of LGBT elected officials, roller derby teams and "fabulous shopping," among others.
St. Louis neighborhood areas and institutions within them were also recognized including The Grove, Soulard, Cherokee Street, the Central West End, South Grand and Lafayette Square.
In late 2012, the Human Rights Campaign also gave St. Louis a score of 100 (highest posible) on its Municipal Equality Index - which is the organization's "rating system of LGBT inclusion in municipal law."

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
That all of us could begin as our foundational document.
With the constitution.
Would -- consider it constitutional for congress to specify that the First Amendment shall apply only to the following books I'm not a sixth -- Senator I've been on this committee for twenty years I study the constitution myself I reasonably well educated.
And I thank you for the lecture.
So I come from a different place than you do I respect your views I ask you to respect my -- And yet at the same time I would note that she chose not to answer the question that I passed which it is.
In her judgment would it be consistent with the constitution for congress to specify which books are permitted and which books are not and and to use this -- the answer is obvious.
-- that went well die and -- side apparently still stewing over that nasty tit for tat with Texas senator Ted Cruz.
Calling him arrogant and Patrick -- -- -- an interview today the senator crews themselves ready for some responding today.
Senator good to have you what did you make of that arrogant -- astronauts.
Out -- it.
It's great to be with yet analysts and other senators can choose to -- what every insults they like my direction I have no intention of reciprocate.
Point six million people people in Texas.
Expect me to come here every day and represent them and in particular to raise the -- to question that I raised at that hearing which is one of the limits of the constitution.
I gotta tell you there -- a lot of politicians in Washington both Democrats and Republicans.
Who have lost sight of the constitutional limitations I have to tell you.
The reaction Judiciary Committee hearing when I raised the textual limitations of the Second Amendment in the bill of rights.
Those reactions were reminiscent to Nancy Pelosi is reaction when she was asked where in the constitution is the authority.
For obamacare and her answer was quote are you serious are you serious.
There are a lot of people who -- who don't think it's serious to recognize the limits of the constitution I think that's the obligation of every one of us.
CC dinner approached me saying look here with for snapper I've been around here whenever it was twenty years.
And you gotta get.
It'll look -- your place now that's just my interpretation here but the others had said -- -- not news to use senator that as a freshman senator.
You're -- a unique and special club then you're not following the rules of decorum in that club when he's.
Well I think there are several other senators who have who have decided to insult me personally and my consistent pattern is I'm not gonna do -- thing they can throw any insults they want.
My focus has been and will remain on the substance for example.
The response that was ultimately given in that exchange was that the Heller Supreme Court decision.
Gave congress the authority to represent assault weapons but what nobody got into is what -- -- -- point out Neil I know exactly what Heller said because I represented 31 states in the Heller case was an active part of litigating it.
And what the Supreme Court said -- Heller.
Is that the Second Amendment.
Allows quote dangerous and unusual weapons.
To be prohibited and then -- the example it gave with machine guns and sawed off shotguns.
But it also said that weapons that are in quote common use.
Cannot be prohibited consistent with the Second Amendment and the one of the many problems with the so called assault weapons ban.
Is it's trying to ban.
A semi automatic rifle effectively a deer rifle with certain cosmetic features.
Of which there are over four million in circulation and under the explicit terms of the supreme court's decision in -- You cannot ban a firearm that is in -- used by the American citizenry to defend their homes and their fans.
But my focus is on the substance not on on whatever the.
The the emotion or anger might be on the other side.
-- but it's not just the other side right senator -- -- there was a dust up with.
Senator McCain without calling him by name.
And the feeling being did you and -- senator Bob Graham -- World.
We're we're sort of representing a new wing of the party.
That was -- going to be following.
For want of a better term -- maybe the old wing of the party.
At and at Denny got to deal it would seem like a tit for tat between.
You guys and and and and Senator McCain it is -- raisins -- little earlier when your reaction to this.
-- in an interview I said that senator Collins senator crews -- whacko birds that was.
Inappropriate and I apologize to them for saying that because.
I respect them both I respect what they stand for and what they believe them.
-- -- that Senator McCain.
Well I appreciate senator McCain's graciousness and saying that.
On the substance if it makes us -- birds to stand for liberty to stand for the constitution -- -- and then that's a badge of honor I Wear proudly.
But more substantively.
-- off point out yesterday was the fortieth anniversary of John McCain's.
Being -- released from a Prisoner of War camp in Vietnam.
And and and I took to the senate floor yesterday.
To commemorate.
An -- honor John McCain for his valor for his integrity.
Four is incredible courage to to turn down early release.
And instead -- to spend years more in torture for his country and and so.
Whether whatever senators make -- to say disparaging things about me I have no intention of doing the same.
My focus my job is to stand up for principles of liberty and stand for the constitution he.
Along with him right I mean whatever Roger -- inferences and and by god provided in -- and they're gone.
You know.
Lots of folks safe say things that that sometimes they come to regret later.
I can't control what others say what I can control is what I say.
And my focus is consistently been focused on the substance in the merits listen.
We -- serious problems in this country I don't think most Americans care about political bickering.
In Washington.
They do care about.
Restoring economic growth expanding opportunity in this country and they also care about the constitution they care about a federal government that that seems.
On limited by the constitution -- Thomas Jefferson famously said.
The constitution serves -- chains.
To bind the mischief of government and so every day.
I view part of my responsibility.
To two point six million Texans.
To come in here and focus on the constitution because we take an oath to the constitution.
And that's an -- that I take very seriously.
Very seriously and it gives the impressive disarm not all that may be.
There is there's battle Royale going on inside the Republican party for the heart and -- the Republican Party.
That facility in -- that a civil war on do you think Republicans.
Are are are.
Having this great debate -- turned it to be.
And he played a much larger fight that's been put on public this.
You know I think there is certainly a debate about what direction we should go in as Republicans 2012 was obviously a lousy election.
And -- Republicans got clobbered.
And what I have been urging every one is that what we failed to do in 2012 was -- in the market.
-- free market principles working in particular they work for those struggling -- -- the economic latter I think every Republican on I have two words tattooed on.
Growth and opportunity.
We are stuck right now in stagnation for four years in a row.
We have had average economic growth of zero point 8% a year we've got to get growth back and the biggest reason is.
Is that it's impacting hardest those.
Who are the least well off among us young people African Americans Hispanics single moms their lives have been made harder.
Because the Obama policies aren't working if we get back.
To free market policies that work it will make it far easier for the people who are struggling.
To achieve the American dream and that should be our passion every.
Senator Cruz thank you very much.
Thank you.

Fats, or lipids, are a group of chemical substances in food that are generally insoluble in water. There are several classes of fats. The triglycerides (triacylglycerols) are the predominant constituent of vegetable and animal fats and oils. They are composed of a 3-carbon glycerol backbone and three fatty acids of various types. The character of the fat is determined by these fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids tend to make the fat "hard" or solid at room temperature and are associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Monounsaturated fatty acids are prominent in olive and canola oils and do not increase the risk of heart disease. The third group of fatty acids, the polyunsaturated fatty acids, are important components of omega-3 fish and plant oils. They play a role in blood clotting and in inflammatory responses in the body.
Phospholipids are closely related to triacylglycerols, except that one of the carbons on the glycerol contains one of several phosphate groups; the other two carbons have fatty acids. A third group, related to the first two, is the sphingomyelins and other complex brain lipids.
Cholesterol and its precursors are another group of fats that are essential for membranes; these are chemically composed of several 5-and 6-membered carbon rings. Steroids make up a fifth group of fats. Steroids are derived from cholesterol and include the androgens and estrogens, among others.
(SEE ALSO: Blood Lipids; HDL Cholesterol; LDL Cholesterol; Lipoproteins; Triglycerides; VLDL Cholesterol)

Nice cars BigGameHit, drifting is something I would love to try, aside from in an empty mall parking lot on a snowy day
I think you might have uploaded the wrong pic for your last one, it says your old vintage burton board you picked up for 28 dollars but it is another car!?!? If I can get that car for 28 dollars sign me up! |

hahah the board is leaning against the skyline. everyone around me gets on me for having the oldest board in the crew lol so that's why i called it vintage. drifting is a blast.. funny how my two hobbies include defying physics and friction lol.
ps 19 years boarding, you must be awesome Sir. Last edited by BigGameHit; 03-02-2009 at 06:42 PM. |

I just KNEW that Camel Burger didn´t taste right!
Words just don´t come...
Why? Why on earth do these corporations cave time after time? Cowards.
But ´´Goat McNuggets´´ has such a nice ring to it.
Attention American Businesses!STOP corrupting American Culture.Muslims come here by choice. We MUST stop changing our culture to accommodate them.Ditto the "press 1 for spanish".My grandparents did not have the option of "press 1 for Polish"..There were no Polish hamburgers.Stop giving away American identity. Instead, tell them to assimilate. ENOUGH.
If trouble starts they´ll be missing McDonald´s in the stockade.
Read the article, people. It´s about McD claiming its food prepared according to Muslim rules. If they didn´t, and it appears that´s what happened, then McD deserves to lose.
I don´t see a problem here. If a business wants to sell a product to a particular market, then the product has to be as described. You can´t advertise horse meat as "steak," for example.So if you´re pulling in Jewish customers by saying the food is kosher, then it had better be kosher. Same with halal food and Muslim customers. That IS American culture.
those muslims like to sue companies - think of the bogus airline ´discrimination´ cases that are moving forward.They must have learned from the reverend jackson, who has mugged large corporations to maintain his lifestyle and that of his girlfriend and illegitimate child.
Mickey D´s also serves ham and sausage in the morning for breakfast--wouldnt a Muslim view this as an unclean place to eat according to the Koran?

What a catch!
28 October 2005
No, I'm not talking about the cricket. Coming into summer means a busy time for the reptile section regarding the capture and release of wild snakes that are cruising around people's living space. With hoop bag and hook at the ready at all times, a lot of the reptile crew often are very eager to help out the surrounding communities with any wildlife issues such as a whopping big carpet python sunning itself on the front veranda and making Granny very nervous.Just last week I had the opportunity to head out on a 'snake call'. It was a decent sized Eastern Brown Snake, which clocks up at the second most venomous snake in the world.
These particular snakes can cause some distress to the residents when they have an encounter in the backyard. But never fear, if you really don't want this awesome Australian critter at your joint, the snake catchers of Australia Zoo can head out and remove them to another suitable habitat.
The following is an example of the types of snakes we are most likely to find based on our experience so far this season.
Carpet Python 60%
Eastern Brown 20%
Red-bellied Black 5%
Keelback 5%
Other species 10%
As you can see, most often the culprit is harmless. If left alone any snake will be sure to head on its way. Until next time, see you later!
