Improving I-95

On a recent round-trip drive from NYC to DC, I noticed a rest stop on the side of I-95 closed for reconstruction. At another rest stop a pamphlet described the new designs of two "travel plazas," as they're called: Chesapeake House and Maryland House. Given the sad state of highway architecture in the United States (evidenced in the "before" photos below), I was taken aback by the quality of the architecture. Both travel plazas are designed by <a href="http://asg-architects.com/">Ayers Saint Gross</a> and are presented below in before and after states without comment.<br /><br /><b>Maryland House (expected completion December 2013):</b><br /><img alt="i95-3.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/i95-3.jpg" title="Maryland House exterior" /><br />[exterior rendering by Ayers Saint Gross | image <a href="http://www.i95mdtravelplazas.com/">source</a>]<br /><br /><img alt="i95-3a.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/i95-3a.jpg" title="Maryland House exterior before" /><br />[exterior "before" condition, architect unknown | image <a href="http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/traffic/2009/08/toll_authority_plodding_ahead.html">source</a>]<br /><br /><img alt="i95-4.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/i95-4.jpg" title="Maryland House interior" /><br />[interior rendering by Ayers Saint Gross | image <a href="http://www.i95mdtravelplazas.com/">source</a>]<br /><br /><img alt="i95-4a.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/i95-4a.jpg" title="Maryland House interior before" /><br />[interior "before" condition, architect unknown | image <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Maryland_House_main_atrium,_December_28,_2010.jpg">source</a>]<br /><br /><b>Chesapeake House (expected completion September 2014):</b><br /><img alt="i95-1.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/i95-1.jpg" title="Chesapeake House exterior" /><br />[exterior rendering by Ayers Saint Gross | image <a href="http://www.i95mdtravelplazas.com/">source</a>]<br /><br /><img alt="i95-1a.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/i95-1a.jpg" title="Chesapeake House exterior before" /><br />[exterior "before" condition, architect unknown | image <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chesapeake_House_viewed_from_southbound_car_parking.jpg">source</a>]<br /><br /><img alt="i95-2.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/i95-2.jpg" title="Chesapeake House interior" /><br />[interior rendering by Ayers Saint Gross | image <a href="http://www.i95mdtravelplazas.com/">source</a>]<br /><br /><img alt="i95-2a.jpg" src="http://www.archidose.org/Blog/i95-2a.jpg" title="Chesapeake House interior before" /><br />[interior "before" condition, architect unknown | image <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chesapeake_House_interior.jpg">source</a>]

Minor Health Issues

It's been a rough last few days around these parts.  Just when I felt like this pregnancy thing wasn't so bad afterall, something else comes up that knocks me off of my feet.<br /><br />I hope that I can one day look back and laugh at how upset I am about this issue, but right now it's the only thing on my mind:  <i>I've got hemorrhoids</i>.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRNVg7WdjEsFX0NiOa0lsyLvxtrgYse88L7SLIjJbvf-iMY7_4f3KYfHMtgTvwzQ7U46VKMGA6Ljd1friS1cEdOQP1_SnZOeApCawaAyIogY7eutT1gBhbie1c3xqy-R1NH9WJ8Hcn3lk/s1600/392968_10104226518420094_782637460_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="224" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRNVg7WdjEsFX0NiOa0lsyLvxtrgYse88L7SLIjJbvf-iMY7_4f3KYfHMtgTvwzQ7U46VKMGA6Ljd1friS1cEdOQP1_SnZOeApCawaAyIogY7eutT1gBhbie1c3xqy-R1NH9WJ8Hcn3lk/s320/392968_10104226518420094_782637460_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />It was late on Wednesday while I was getting ready to go to bed that my butt started hurting.  I've had the hemms in the past so I knew what it was about, and I also knew they were highly likely during/after pregnancy.  I went to bed in a lot of pain - so much so that I could hardly fall asleep and awoke about an hour afterward in need of Tylenol.  They hurt so bad they were inducing a headache!  I've never had them THAT badly.<br /><br />Well, I got up the next day and went into work.  I immediately switched out my usual desk chair for a more comfy one, hoping that would help ease the soreness.  No such luck.  I shared the story with a coworker and she fabricated an ice pack for me to sit on - it was <i>glorious</i> and really helped me to get through the rest of the work day.  That night I went to bed with far less pain. <br /><br />Still, when I awoke on Friday, I just knew that I should try to get to the doctor if possible.  The standard over-the-counter meds weren't helping much.  Fortunately my OBGYN was able to fit me in with a 1 PM appointment.  The midwife told me she had never seen hemms quite that badly in a pregnant lady, and that even women who've already delivered don't typically get them that bad.  Great.  After consulting with the doctor, they both agreed that I should go see a gastroenterologist ASAP for a second opinion on them.  The OB sent me away with 2 prescriptions to help in the meantime, and an order of one week's worth of bedrest.  That's right, I'm pregnant and on bedrest - but not for the typical reasons! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cartoonstock.com/newscartoons/cartoonists/rmc/lowres/rmcn368l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.cartoonstock.com/newscartoons/cartoonists/rmc/lowres/rmcn368l.jpg" width="268" /></a></div><br />I am set to see the doctor on Wednesday, and I'm actually looking forward to it.  My main concern is that they will get worse between now and June.  Also, I am worried about what might happen after the delivery, especially if I do deliver naturally.  I would imagine they would get worse, and if so, then what?  I know that people sometimes have to have surgery on them, and who wants to have surgery on their bottom after they've just delivered a baby?  That does not seem ideal!<br /><br />My doctor insisted that the hemms are a complete result of the weight of my uterus on my colon, but I cannot help but wonder if they are due to me being overweight in general.  I mentioned having them before, and according to my doctor at that time, it was most likely due to my male-like habits at sitting on the toilet for 20 min at a time reading!  <i>(It's because your butt muscles are "at attention" when you're sitting on the toilet.  Sit too long and the muscles get aggravated, hence causing the hemms).  </i><br /><br />I've thought a lot about how being overweight has affected the pregnancy.  In general, I don't think it has much, with the exception of buying maternity clothes.  Despite the number on the scale, my vitals have always pointed toward a perfectly healthy individual - excellent blood pressure, excellent blood work, strong heart rate, etc.  I think I owe a lot of that to my previously active lifestyle. <br /><br />However, when it comes to something like this, that I know can also be as a result of being overweight, I cannot help but wonder if it would've been different had I not been so heavy and pregnant.  It's hard to say.  I know many other women who are my age and are pregnant right now, who are not overweight, and who are experiencing some of the same issues I've had (such as hip pain when sleeping) and the hemms.  Still, I'm sure age is also on my side, and I know that once this baby makes her debut, I cannot wait to start the journey at removing the weight. <br /><br />Pregnancy is a hard enough physical journey as it is - there is no sense in adding anymore unnecessary baggage, if you get my drift!

Endometrial cancer biopsy of a nulliparous woman

Nulliparous:  a woman that has never given birth.<br /><br />I wanted to post this while the experience is fresh in my mind. Also, if there's anyone out there that does a search for this, they can read about my experience. <br /><br />I finished the procedure about 20 minutes ago. I'm not going to lie and say it didn't hurt, because it hurt like hell. The good part is it only hurt like hell for about three minutes. The other fifteen minutes were uncomfortable, but completely bearable. Those three minutes were bearable too since I'm sitting here writing about it, but it was some pretty intense pain. On my scale, I'd give it a 7 or 8. I've never given birth or had anything really bad to compare it too, so I probably tend to rate my pain higher than most people.<br /><br />I am a nulliparous woman, meaning I have never given birth. To get to the uterus my doctor had to insert a very slender straw-like tube through my cervix. The tube appeared to be less than 1/8 of an inch and I thought it wouldn't be that difficult. My cervix disagreed and was closed up tighter than a clam. It refused to let anything get through. Even the misoprostol (the abortion pill) didn't seem to have any effect on my cervix. My doctor said it probably had helped a little but she still couldn't get the tube through the cervix and into my uterus. <br /><br />This meant the big needle came out, with the local anaesthesia. Just the idea of what appeared to be a six inch needle going inside of my vagina to get to my cervix was unpleasant. There was a quick pinch with the needle, then it was over. <br /><br />Next came the tube again. Even though I'd had the local, that tiny tube cause intense pain when it went through my cervix. It was the worst cramps that I've ever experience as my cervix seem to go into convulsions. I could hear the suction as tissue was sucked from uterus lining (which now fills my uterus). Fortunately things went well and there was plenty of tissue removed for the biopsy. There were a few tears, but I got through it. <br /><br />Even after the tube was removed, I still had cramping and it took a few minutes before I could sit up again and breathe normally.<br /><br />I'm writing this because what I read online didn't match what happened to me. Every article said there might be a sharp pain or some mild cramping. Of course, the fact that I've never born a child and that nothing has ever passed through my cervix is probably what made my pain a little more intense. It was only for a few minutes but it was very uncomfortable. <br /><br />Fortunately, I have an amazing doctor. She's extremely kind and understanding and reassured me that what I felt was completely normal for someone who has never had a child. She also told me she was going to be in Seattle tomorrow and she'll call her friend in pathology and ask them to move me to the top to get the biopsy results. Hopefully by tomorrow at this time I'll know something. <br /><br />I'm fairly confident that it's not cancer. However, I read this morning that a woman that is more than 50 pounds or more overweight increases her risk of endometrial cancer by ten-fold. That means I'm ten times more likely to get this cancer. However, even if it is cancer, I'll beat it. <br /><br /><br /><br />

Endometrial cancer biopsy of a nulliparous woman

I have the biopsy procedure today

Today is the biopsy of my uterus to check for endometrial cancer. I've already decided I don't have cancer and this is just a precaution. You know, positive thinking will make anything bad go away. I can't tell you how many of my friends, who mean well, keep telling me to think positive. It sort of makes me giggle. Like positive thoughts can wipe out cancer. <br /><br />Regardless, I really don't think I have cancer, and I'm only having the biopsy because my doctor recommended it. Probably another unnecessary, expensive procedure to cover their backside. I think a lot of these procedures the doctors do are so they don't get sued later down the road in case there is something wrong. I guess better safe than sorry. <br /><br />I'm more worried about the two little pills I have to insert vaginally in about two hours, six hours before the procedure when they insert a thin tube up through my vagina, through my cervix and into my uterus. Then a machine will suck out some cells out of the uterus which will be sent to the lab and biopsied. I watched a gross video on this last night with a real person. Looked icky, but didn't look too painful. <br /><br />What is more disturing are the pills. I picked up the prescription late last night. I had totally forgot about the procedure today. Thank goodness for my 24-hour pharmacy. <br /><br />After watching the youtube videos on "uterus biopsy" I looked up the medication, Misoprostol. It's an abortion pill! It's used to terminate a pregnancy by starting labor. It's also used to induce labor in the second and third trimesters. I vaguely remember the doctor telling me on the phone Friday afternoon that the biopsy will be "uncomfortable" with a lot of cramping. I didn't think much about it. Now I'm feeling a little nervous, but I'm sure it won't be that bad. I've had some pretty severe cramping these last two months from the endometriosis so I'm use to pain. <br /><br />Other than last night when I was fretting about going into labor today, I had a great weekend. The weather was spectacular Saturday and Sunday. It even got up to 71 degrees yesterday. It reminded me of that old Perry Como song, "The bluest skies you've ever seen are in Seattle". It was gorgeous. I spent most of Saturday and Sunday working in the yard. As much as I complain about my soon-to-be-ex-husband, he did do a lot of yard work (soon is in November when the divorce trial is set). Of course, when you don't have a regular job and a lot of free time...okay, I won't go there. <br /><br />I gave up on the two gas mowers. I couldn't get either one to start. When I reached my maximum frustration I drove down to Home Depot and bought an electric mulching mower. Quiet and no nasty gas and oil business to deal with. Super easy to start and it ALWAYS starts. I haven't done the mulching yet, but used the bag. I thought the grass was too long to mulch. It's the best mower ever! Black & Decker MM1800. Better yet was the $199 price tag. It also doesn't weigh a ton like the old mowers. Love it!<br /><br />I pulled a lot of weeds from the flower beds (some of the biggest dandelions I've ever seen) . I have plans to plant the plants I want in the back yard. Over the years my husband had managed to destroy or pull up most of my perennials. He said he thought they were weeds. We had a lot of fights over the years about my flowers. I had a lot of gorgeous perennials in back but now the only two things left are the giant bearded irises and one Bleeding Heart (which doesn't look healthy this year). It makes me sick because at one point I had at least twenty different varieties of perennials and it was so pretty in the back yard. Now it's become a hoarder's yard, filled with junk. I have a lot of work ahead of me (more trips to the landfill).<br /><br />I took my sister to see the G.I. Joe movie yesterday. Not exactly an Easter Sunday type movie, but it was pretty good. Lots of action, which I know my sister likes. I wasn't feeling that great yesterday. Maybe it was all the yard work over the weekend, but I was out of sorts yesterday afternoon. <br /><br />That's it. Another hour or so, and I insert my abortion pills. Fun times.

If you look at the various senses, smell is one of the most powerful. I recall reading a study stating that if students smelled a certain smell in math class and smelled that same smell as they took the math tests, that they scored better. You can literally recall a smell years later. It is one of the most basic senses. So, although some think the smell-o-vision talked about in this Gizmodo article is "dumb" I know that there will be applications in education (and sales, most likely - just travel to the mall and smell the smells they pump out front of a Cinnabon or Starbucks.) Smell is powerful but it will likely be a bit more time until the practical applications come to market.</p> <p class="diigo-tags"> <span>tags:</span> <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a> <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/technology">technology</a> <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/innovation">innovation</a></p> </li> <li> <p class="diigo-link"> <a href="http://opencontent.org/blog/archives/2754">Buying Our Way into Bondage: The Risks of Adaptive Learning Services | iterating toward openness</a> </p> <p class="diigo-description">Companies fight for their future but we may be accepting a dependence we will regret according to this insightful article covering adaptive learning and open education resources s two opposite choices in the future of education.</p> <p class="diigo-tags"> <span>tags:</span> <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/Education">Education</a> <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/news">news</a> <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/adaptive">adaptive</a> <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/learning">learning</a> <a href="https://www.diigo.com/user/coolcatteacher/oer">oer</a></p> </li> </ul><p class="diigo-ps">Posted from <a href='https://www.diigo.com'>Diigo</a>.
