A word from Braai
Braai (South African for barbeque) is Manhattans only contemporary South African restaurant and brandy bar. Showcasing game meats and a diverse spectrum of culinary influences (Malay, Portuguese, French, Dutch & German) that create the fabric of our rainbow cuisine. Set under a vaulted thatch ceiling and tree trunk lined walls, it brings a little piece of the bush & "braaivleis" to the concrete jungle.Continued

- Turn Down the MusiclovenewyorkDined on 10/19/2014Had a very disappointing brunch last weekend. We were a table of 5 and when we arrived were the only table. I had been to this restaurant many times when I visit NYC. I have had many great experiences there. One waitress in particular always has been so friendly and attentive. Unfortunately this time the man who waited on us made us feel he was bothered to have to wait on us and I am thinking Really, with only one table. And the music was so loud and nightclub like on a Sunday at noon that we could not hear ourselves talk and had to ask several times if they could please turn it down. Finally the volume was reduced enough so that we could hear. On the bright side, the food was good and the bottomless peach mimosas are great.Special Features:
- Just averageNYEaterDined on 10/11/2014We came here expecting some unique foods, this being the only South African restaurant around. But for the most part, only the names of the dishes were unusual; the food itself was nothing special.
- disappointedAziNVIPDined on 10/11/2014Braai has been on my restaurant list for months and I was so excited to finally have dinner here. Sadly it was quite the disappointment. The restaurant has a very run down feel and look, not sure if they are under renovations. We were there early on a Saturday for dinner before a show and the service was mediocre at best, the restaurant was very clearly understaffed, while our server herself was pleasant, we had almost no interaction with her throughout our dinner. They forgot our silverware, we didn't get to put in a drink order for a solid 30mins after arrival and food order a little later. The food was ok, nothing spectacular. there are so many better dining options, I wouldn't come back.Special Features:
- redfrommichredfrommichDined on 10/11/2014The food was great, the choices unusual. My friend loved the venison stew, which he got in a square bread bowl. The mango, spinach, goat cheese salad was a wonderful combination. The babotie was as good as ever.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excited then sadly disappointed!BustAtBraaiDined on 10/11/2014As a South African family, we were very much looking forward to going to braai during our holiday in NYC. The excitement quickly dissipated once the food arrived. Dry, tough boerwors and pap, overly spicy ostrich steak and those were the highlights. We left disappointed with no plans to return on our next trip to The Big Apple.
- AmazingSaraVIPDined on 9/20/2014Delighted to share the wonderful experience of this restaurant with my nieces. Each dish was delicious and a wonderful memory of my trip to South Africa.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Sunday brunchJW09022014Dined on 8/31/2014The food was authentic, mimosas flowed continuously and it took me back to the times I had visited South Africa. The vibe was also appealing as the crowd was diverse and the our waitress was attentive. The only downside was that the restaurant is currently under renovation and it lacks the ambiance it previously had with the thatch. I look forward to seeing it when its done.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Braai Never MissesOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 8/23/2014Back to Braai again with my two sons - ages 25 and 28. We had a brilliant pre-theatre meal with lovely South African wines (we had an exceptional pinotage and a really lovely chardonnay). One son had ribs which were succulent and amazing - my other son and I shared the 9 tapas platter complete with ostrich sliders. sausage and polenta, an amazing eggplant with goat cheese and more. Terrific dessert - and then off to the theatre. I am going out to dinner with a friend this week - can't see any reason not to go to Braai. One of the best values in New York.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- what a great meal!onthetownDined on 8/11/2014The food was prepared perfectly. We had the lamb chops and grilled octopus as starters and both were excellent. Prawns in a periperi sauce and the Ostrich filet served as our entrees were incredible. Flavors were well melded, textures exquisite. Not expecting much, were more than pleasantly surprised at how top-notch the meal turned out to be. Service was friendly, attentive and spot-on. Will recommend this restaurant to many.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Didn't look like the websiteGaryPDined on 8/2/2014The Braai website had a photo gallery that did not match the actual restaurant. THe website site showed a brightly decorate cozy dining room. Now everything has been painted white, and it looks dingy and dirty. The Prawns Piri Piri ended up being three overcooked shrimp with a scoop of rice. The staff was very friendly and service was good
- Uneven qualityOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 7/31/2014We arrived early for a quick bite before a show. We were the first table to be seated. The appetizers were very good. The entrees were not. The ribs were so overcooked as to be almost inedible. The glaze on them was good. The only thing that explains it is that the ribs were from one or two nights prior and were just reheated for us. They were absolutely terrible. I believe that had they been properly cooked they would have been good. The other entree we tried was the red snapper. Very mediocre. The skin was a little undercooked and the flesh was a bit overcooked. The flavor was a bit too fishy and the whole dish was lacking flavor. Perhaps that is the style of that preparation, but I would not order it again. The deserts were very good.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Brunch ValueOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/13/2014Our server was outstanding. She kept the mimosa's flowing and accommodated our need to be by the air conditioner. The food was reasonably priced. The menu offered a few unique options as well.Special Features:
- Step up your game!OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 7/7/2014As a South African, my expectations might have been a little too high. Here's a list of issues that I had: 1. They ran out of brandy. 2. The boerewors was overcooked and very dry. 3. The biltong on the bruschetta was dry and they gave you a very small portion. 4. The lamb on the bunny chow was great but they could have taken the time to remove the fat off the meat. Once I did that it was great. It is supposed to be a spicy dish but wasnt spicy at all. 5. Slap chips were just regular french fries. 6. The milk tart tasted like chalk. 7. The koeksisters were embarrassing. They were dry pieces of warm dough. Hands down the worse I've had. The prawns and malva pudding were amazing but they rest were very below average.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/5/2014Amazing restaurant! Contemporary South African cuisine, so the food was interesting but not too exotic as to be intimidating. The food was great, the $12 unlimited mimosas were wonderful, and the actual restaurant was chic in that exposed-brick-NYC style.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 747 reviews are from the Braai reviews archive.
- luvfoodVIPDined on 6/25/2014The Restuarant which was formerly decorated like an African hut is in the process of being remodeled looks quite bare. The 3 course dinner which according to the web site was $15 which included a glass of wine was inaccurate. Needs to be updated but was told this last year as well and it still has not happened. The food however was quite good and so was the service. Cost was still reasonable, $13 and $5 for a glass of wine. Would return when remodeling is completed.Special Features:
- Great Change of PacejipsVIPDined on 6/23/2014South African cuisine, different..... but not too different. Thoroughly enjoyable, the staff is extremely attentive and prompt. Food is delicious. Love the place when they can open to outdoor. Great place to take clients or to watch the Worl CupSpecial Features:
- Where was Braai??OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/15/2014We were drawn to the restaurant by their website, which showed a beautiful place. It in fact looked like a bomb shelter. We went as far as water and excused ourselves. Of note also is the fact that this website told us we had to take a 12:30 reservation - none available at Noon as we would have liked. We arrived at 12:15 and the place was DESERTED!!
- Braai - South Africa in NYCManorvilleTstopDined on 6/14/2014Food was authentic and very well prepared. Wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable. Wines were regional and outstanding. Most definitely worth a great visit for somewhat adventurous foodies. We will most definitely be heading back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- virtuesqDined on 6/14/2014Really great place, very cozy with a sleek bar and nice ambiance. The biryani had a few too many mushrooms, but other than that everything was great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food Poor ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/13/2014I made a reservation at Braai on Friday June 13th. We were seated at a table quickly. When the food came it wasn't ours. The table was shaky so the waitress placed paper under the leg of the table to balance it. I ordered a delicious vegetable biryani, my date ordered a lamb dish. When we got the bill it took awhile for our waitress to return. We had been double charged for dinner which came out to $160!! It was a horrible experience which changed our plans for the night. Our waitress apologized and said the money would return to his card in 3-5 days. I wish we would have been offered something for our inconvenience but we were not. We will not return even though the food and ambience was great.Special Features:
- DisappointingAnonymous1Dined on 6/10/2014Dishes somehow manage to be both dry and fatty. Overpriced. Unauthentic. The ostrich is okay, but all else fails to be good, let alone authentic. Paid, and went to another restaurant to have dinner.
- BonbonDined on 6/8/2014Pictures of the restaurant on its web-site don't match the reality at all - everything is old, not clean and strongly requires repair. Food is so-so, but price is quite high for such level and 18% tips were automatically included in the bill without even asking whether i would like to give them
- Do try ostrichCherpDined on 6/7/2014My husband and I tried ostrich, which was delicious and tasted like beef. The spicy vegetable side dish was also noteworthy. We will return to this establishment when we are in the vicinity.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great interior, okay foodmisheeleeDined on 6/6/2014First time I ever tried S.African food was amazing. This place, a bit disappointing. Food: ordered 5 tapas for $42. Honestly, the "special South African meatballs" were just meatballs and the truffle mac & cheese reeked of too much truffle. The ostrich sliders were pretty good, though, and I felt like the sauce that came with the calamari & the empanadas were the only thing worthwhile. Wine: I'm not a wine drinker but if you are, check this place out for their huge back wall of South African wines. Service: A bit slow, but I didn't mind. Very friendly and accommodating. Interior: Super rustic & cute. Careful if you seat by the air conditioning, though, my unit was dripping the whole time. Overall, not bad, but wouldn't necessarily go back.Special Features:
- Different and EnjoyableALSnycVIPDined on 5/31/2014A very authentic South African restaurant with great people working there. We went after theatre and it was not rushed, great Sourh African wines, dark and quiet. Had a great time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Everytime I am in NYCRyanDined on 5/30/2014I come to Braai. It's been 6-7 visits now and it is wonderful every time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Change of paceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/24/2014When I noted their specialty of South African, I felt it an interesting change of pace. Where else can one get Ostrich Sliders, a very tasty alternative to other foods appealing to carnivores.Special Features:
- Usually reliably goodAdinerDined on 5/22/2014This particular visit my husband ordered the red snapper and hated it. It looked pretty dry. In the past, he has ordered shrimp or their version of barbecue chicken and has enjoyed it. I always order "African Road Runner" (Ostrich) and love it. We shared the grilled octopus appetizer and he didn't like the presentation and thought it chewy. The malva pudding (sponge cake soaked in rum, with ice cream) is a delicious dessert. The service was fine -- timely and responsive. There is a friendly waitress who used to work there who wasn't there that night and we missed seeing her. The atmosphere is really nice. We'll probably go back again but not for a little while.I would recommend this to a friend.
- great wine listvinapunimDined on 5/17/2014great place to try many excellent South African winesSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and ServiceSamuelDined on 5/11/2014The Service was great and our server was diligent, our food however was not worth reccommending. Some of the meals and drinks were tremendously over priced. I was very very let down.Special Features:
- Wonderful!LaurenDined on 5/10/2014Braai never ceases to please. The waiters are always on point and the food is delicious. We came here for brunch to celebrate a birthday and had a great time. When we ordered dessert, the waitress said she overhead us wish our friend happy birthday and brought out extra dessert with a candle in it. Very lovely experience. Will dine here again in the future!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!WeezieVIPDined on 5/9/2014I really like that there is a decent restaurant in the theater district. I never had salmon that tasted this good. I will order that again when I return.Special Features:
- Fantastic Food from HomeSubsaharanTrendDined on 5/9/2014Being from S. Africa, I jumped at the opportunity to eat at Braai. The food was fantastic and I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially those who miss home. I was, however, really disappointed with the poor service and hope people can overlook it and enjoy the food and ambience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Brunch againlovethemeatDined on 5/4/2014It was two of us and I had the vetkoek and mince which was EXCELLENT. So delicious! The side of bacon was a mound and delicious. I only had a lovely beer, but I've had the unlimited drink special in the past and it was always flowing.Special Features:
- SC1111VIPDined on 5/3/2014Food was mediocre, but service was terrible! Went here for drunch and had to ask them maybe 3-4 times to refill even though waitresses noticed our glasses were empty for 15-20. Would not recommend for bottomless brunch because service is so bad.
- Good food and serviceBajanBoiDined on 5/2/2014I've been to Braai a few times and was never disappointed by the food or the friendly service. Try to Bobotie or the Lamb Bunny Chow and a glass of Pinotage. Heaven.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decor took a hit since prior visitsSammDined on 4/30/2014The restaurant is open while undergoing renovations. The ambiance isn't unpleasant, but it's not nearly the same African-Hut feel that it used to have.Special Features:
- South African approvedOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 4/30/2014My husband & I tried this place since he was missing South African food. He just moved in Oct. 2013. We ate so many things on the menu and loved it all. I loved the ambiance -- it looks like a farmhouse in South Africa. I loved seeing ALL South African wines on the menu including all of my favorites. He loved his lamb (most of the lamb on the West Coast tends to be gamey and not as good as East Coast). We both loved it! The staff was attentive and courteous. The price was great too.Special Features:
- BrunchJennifernycDined on 4/26/2014Loved this place! Crab cake eggs Benedict was amazing and they kept refilling our exotic fruit mimosa non stop! Will definitely be going backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Variety, Great Foodcms898Dined on 4/19/2014Went here for dinner before a show in the area. Service was very fast and both of the seafood dishes we ordered were great. The coconut dessert was fantastic. Would definitely go back.

Nice idea, but I was thinking of it more like walking into a Boston bar and saying "I'd like to learn a bit about baseball, but I'd like to start just by getting a ball and bat and learning to hit. Throwing and catching, I'll leave for a bit later; and the rulebook too, if I decide to join an actual team."

In Memoriam: Ken Norton
9/19/13 in Boxing | Wards_Page | 248 respect
He had been our Destroyer, the doer of things
We dreamed of doing but could not bring ourselves to do.
—From a poem by Etheridge Knight
Ken Norton passed away yesterday at the age of 70. He was my favorite fighter.
Growing up in the Bronx in the '70s you almost couldn't help but be a sports fanatic. The Mets had their magical run in 1969 and made it back to the Series again in '73, the Knicks won what is still their last NBA championship and remained an Eastern conference force through half the decade, and George Steinbrenner, Billy Martin and the Yankees were busy forging their Bronx Zoo identity. But perhaps no sport so dominated the 1970s consciousness as boxing.
It's true, the era that brought us inflation and disco was also arguably the heyday of the sweet science. While guys like Roberto Duran, Wilfred Benitez, and Alexis Arguello were already busy carving out their legends, the 1976 Summer Olympics made American boxers Ray Leonard, Michael Spinks, and Leon Spinks household names. There were fierce rivalries in just about every weight class. But nothing captured the public imagination like the Heavyweights. On my block everyone had their favorites. Some guys worshipped Ali, while others saw themselves in the relentless determination of Smokin' Joe Frazier. George Foreman, the hard-punching gold medalist from the 1968 Olympics, had his share of supporters too. There were other recognizable and formidable contenders with names like Quarry and Shavers and Young. But my guy was Ken Norton.
A former United States Marine, Norton seemed cut out of block of marble. "His arms are bigger than my legs," as my Dad used to say. And he had the wingspan of a condor. He racked up three Marine Heavyweight Titles before turning pro in 1967. Norton's early career had a similar arc to other fighters of his generation as he compiled a 29-1 record in his first 30 bouts against an assortment of journeymen and no-names. It wasn't until he faced off against Ali in 1973 that I, and many others, really began taking notice. Norton, fighting in an unorthodox cross-armed crab style, broke Ali's jaw en route to a 12-round split decision win for the not-so-coveted NABF Championship. It was always rare witnessing anyone get the better of Ali. Later that year Ali won it right back, also in split decision fashion. Despite their obvious differences, as a pair of fighters Norton and Ali were well matched. They fought the last fight of their trilogy in Yankee Stadium in 1976. Though it was pretty much in my backyard, I was way too young to attend. It was an epic bout, but Ali took a very controversial 15-round decision. It absolutely crushed me. All these years (and countless viewings) later you still can't convince me that Norton wasn't robbed.
Like so many heavyweights of the era, Norton fought just about everyone. The only hole on his boxing resume being Joe Frazier. In 1977 he would finally win the WBC Heavyweight title that had eluded him with a win over Jimmy Young, only to lose it a year later via split decision to up-and-comer Larry Holmes. It was yet another disappointing and highly-questionable decision going against the champ. After that, Norton's only win of note came in the form of a first-round knockout of Earnie Shavers in 1979. But there would be no more title shots. His final bout was sad first round TKO at the hands of Gerry Cooney. Norton was 38 then and although he still looked like Hercules, he was a shell of his former self. Still, I watched every undefended blow hoping against hope that my guy would find it in himself to unleash just one more wicked uppercut for old time's sake. It never came.
When I read yesterday that Ken Norton had passed away, I almost couldn't believe it. He was my guy. My Heavyweight. He beat Muhammad Ali TWICE! And he beat Larry Holmes TOO! I don't care what anyone says. Rest in peace, Champ.

I'm back home and feeling ok. A little groggy, but that'll get better. The RE removed the polyps!! I don't know how many. I have to be on estrogen for 30 days. I asked the RE when we could get back to TTC and he said we'll talk about it at the follow-up appointment. I'm guessing it won't be until I'm done with the estrogen.
I had some jello and this time I didn't redecorated the floor with it so DH is very happy. LOL. Almost time for some pain meds. This time the anesthesia made me shiver and I woke up with a warming blanket on. I wasn't cold so I was confused as to why I was shivering. Ahh, well. They gave me something and it went away. Love it when medicine acts quickly and as it should.
HUGS ladies! You rock!

I am glad to hear it went well, and that you are resting somewhat comfortably. I hope you have a quick healthy recovery and that you can ttc as soon as you finish the estrogen. KUP on the follow up visit!

Yes, I hope we are only waiting on the estrogen now (well, probably the AF after that too). DH was disappointed because he told me he wanted to BD on New Year's eve. The RE said it would be ok to DTD. LOL, that was DH's consolation prize. We'll get there.

A Daily Word - June 29, 2014
June 29
I know that everything God does will remain forever… - Ecclesiastes 3:14
Most of us get our names in the newspaper twice—when we are born and when we die. However, there's no obituary for the works of God. The human mind reels at the thought. We are three-dimensional beings who must have boundaries, points of termination. We cannot conceive of infinity. Yet the human spirit, as the work of God, is eternal. To be separated from God by sin is to live on down through the endless spans beyond time without Him. Hell can be no worse than that. But to become His special work through Jesus Christ is to remain forever with Him whose work remains forever.

With a down-home sound and a good-time attitude, the Devil Makes Three will make you think of the buddies you drink with deep into the night, only to pick up where you left off the next afternoon until you're all face-down in the gutter again. Fans of such debauchery flock to Devil Makes Three shows like flies to last night's vomit. In this way, the group is kindred to psychobilly freakmaster Reverend Horton Heat and punk-country rock stars the Supersuckers. The band is less ferocious than its moshpit cousins, though. A mostly acoustic string combo, steeped in the American roots tradition popularized a decade ago on the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, they're hillbilly beach bums, equal parts juke-joint blues and Appalachian bluegrass with an overdose of rock 'n' roll hedonism. Lyrically, main songwriter Pete Bernhard strives for storytelling folksiness and street-poet punch. He blends archetypal and contemporary imagery to mark his tunes with authenticity and originality. While the Devil Makes Three's songwriting is smart, it's far from elitist. After all, the band's fans don't pack shows for diatribes on societal ills or political corruption; they come to drink and dance and raise a ruckus.

New Energy Reduction Calculator for 2030 Challenge Now Available
Update: 2/21/13 The Energy Reduction Calculator is now available to those without a GreenWizard subscription. To start using the Energy Reduction Calculator today, sign up for a free account.
Update: We have updated some features for our Energy Reduction Calculator. Find out more here.
Release Notes for December 3, 2012
While the country gave thanks and over-indulged on turkey, GreenWizard has been hard at work enhancing the software to provide additional tools for the design and construction community. We are excited to announce the first of a number of tools that will help you in your efforts to meet the 2030 Challenge. Our new Energy Reduction Calculator helps you gauge your progress against the 2030 Challenge goals for net-zero energy use. With a minimal amount of information, the calculator can determine the target energy use for your project; if you have energy usage data available from an energy modeling tool, you can input the data to determine if your project is on target to meet the 2030 Challenge goal.
How to use the Energy Reduction Calculator
From within a project, and select 2030 Challenge from the Goals drop-down menu. This summary screen will provide detail about the 2030 Challenge as well as links to a number helpful resources. To access the calculator, select the Energy Reduction Calculator option from the Tools menu.
First, check to make sure your Square Footage and Estimated Completion Dates are correct. The completion date will determine the level of reduction that your project will need to achieve by the time of occupancy.
Next, the system will need to calculate the Average Site EUI. There are two options for this determination. The preferred option is to provide the regional average, which can be determined by using a tool such as the EnergyStar Target Finder; for your convenience, a link is provided to this tool within the calculator. If no regional average is available, you can direct the calculator to use the national average by providing detail for the usage of different spaces within the project building.
By simply providing these few project detail elements and the information needed to determine the average EUI, GreenWizard can present the target energy use for your project building. Your design should be geared towards keeping the total energy use for the project building below this threshold.
If you have design-case energy data available, whether from an eQuest Parms file or other energy modeling tool, you can input the information directly from the tool and the calculator will determine if the total energy usage is above or below your 2030 Challenge target. The Energy Reduction Calculator also provides some helpful graphs to show where the majority of your energy consumption is focused, helping you determine where the most significant reductions can be made.
More enhancements are in progress for the Energy Reduction Calculator, including the ability to load energy usage data from your modeling software tool to simplify the process even further. Be sure to check back regularly to take advantage of these and the many other improvements GreenWizard provides to you every two weeks!
Add a Description and Picture to a Project
You can now associate a picture and add a description to a project. You can do this by either starting a new project, or clicking on an existing project and click View All Project Details on the Project Dashboard. From there, you can enter a description and upload a picture. Remember to press Save when you are done.
Feel free to use this space however you want. Want to put a message out to your team? Do it!

(Unstable Angina; Stable Angina; Angina Pectoris; Cardiac Angina; Variant Angina)En Español (Spanish Version)More InDepth Information on This Condition
Angina is a pain or discomfort in the chest. It often has a squeezing or pressure-like feel. This discomfort can also be felt in the shoulders, arms, neck, jaws, or back. Anginal pain usually lasts for no more than 2-10 minutes. It is relieved by rest or nitroglycerin .
Types of angina include:
- Stable angina—has a predictable pattern. Generally know what brings it on, relieves it, and what the intensity will be.
Unstable angina—is more unpredictable or severe. Chest pain may occur while resting or even sleeping (nocturnal angina). The discomfort may last longer and be more intense than that of stable angina.
- Unstable angina may be a sign that you are about to have a heart attack . It should be treated as an emergency.
- Variant or prinzmetal's angina—occurs when you are at rest, most often in the middle of the night. It can be quite severe.
Typical Angina Pain Areas
© 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
Angina is usually a symptom of coronary artery disease . It occurs when the blood vessels leading to the heart are blocked. The blockage decreases the blood and oxygen flow to the heart muscle. When the heart muscle is deprived of oxygen you will feel chest pain and other symptoms.
Coronary Artery Disease
© 2008 Nucleus Medical Art, Inc.
Stable or Unstable Angina
Angina occurs when your heart's need for blood and oxygen is increased by:
- Exercise, exertion
- Cold weather
- A large meal
- Emotional stress
Stable angina becomes unstable when symptoms occur more often, last longer, or is triggered more easily.
Variant or Prinzmetal's Angina
Variant or prinzmetal's angina is usually caused by a spasm of a coronary vessel. It may indicate that you have one of the following conditions:
- Coronary artery disease
- Extremely high blood pressure
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Diseases of the heart valves
Risk Factors
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.
Major risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) include the following:
- Gender: male
- Advancing age
- Strong family history of heart disease
- Obesity and overweight
- Smoking
- High blood pressure
- Sedentary lifestyle
- High blood cholesterol (specifically, high LDL cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol)
- Diabetes
Other risk factors for CAD:
- Stress
- Excessive alcohol intake
Pressure or squeezing chest pain
- Some people do not experience the pain as severe
- Elderly people, women, and people with diabetes more likely to have atypical or subtle symptoms
- Some people have "silent ischemia" and experience no symptoms of chest pain
- Chest pain of any kind deserves a medical evaluation to determine its cause
Chest pain or discomfort is the hallmark symptom of angina
- When chest discomfort is severe, lasts more than 15 minutes, and is accompanied by other symptoms listed below, then the likelihood of a heart attack is increased
- Pain in the shoulder(s) or arm(s), or into the jaw
- Weakness
- Sweating
- Nausea
- Shortness of breath
Tests will be done right away to see if you are having an episode of angina or a heart attack. If you have a stable pattern of angina, other tests may be done to determine the extent of your disease. The test results will help to create a treatment plan.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam.
Tests may include:
- Blood tests—to look for certain blood markers to determine if you are having a heart attack
- Electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) —a record of the heart's electrical activity, to look for evidence of past heart attacks, acute heart attacks, or heart rhythm problems
- Echocardiogram —high-frequency sound waves (ultrasound) to examine the structure and function of the heart
- Exercise stress test
—records the heart's electrical activity during increased demand
- A medication is used to simulate the effects of physical exertion for those that can not exercise
- Nuclear scanning—radioactive material is injected into a vein to highlight areas with low blood flow
Electron-beam CT scan
(coronary calcium scan, heart scan, CT
)—a type of x-ray that uses a computer to make detailed pictures of the heart, coronary arteries, and surrounding structures
- Type of CT scan measures the amount of calcium deposits in the coronary arteries to determine the risk of heart disease or heart attacks
- The American Heart Association (AHA) published guidelines in 2006 indicating that heart scans are not for everyone and are most likely to benefit patients at intermediate risk of coronary artery disease
- Coronary angiography —dye is injected into the arteries to highlight abnormalities (narrowing or blockage) in the arteries
Treatments for angina include:
Nitroglycerin—usually given during an attack of angina. It can be given as a tablet that dissolves under the tongue or as a spray.
- Longer-lasting types may be used to prevent angina before an activity. The medication may be given as pills, or applied as patches or ointments.
Blood thinners—a small, daily dose of
has been shown to decrease the risk of heart attack.
- Patients who have had unstable angina or a heart attack may benefit from the addition of warfarin (eg coumadin). There is an increased risk of bleeding with this medication. *
- Talk to your doctor before taking aspirin daily or warfarin.
- Beta-blockers and calcium-channel blockers—used regularly, these medications may reduce the occurrence of angina.
- Cholesterol-lowering medications—may prevent the progression of coronary artery disease. They may even improve existing coronary artery disease.
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)— lower blood pressure. They are especially beneficial for patients who have had a heart attack in the past. They also decrease the workload on your heart.
Patients with severe angina or unstable, progressing angina may benefit from:
If you already have angina, you can prevent an onset by being aware of what starts it.
If you don't have angina, preventing the development of coronary artery disease may reduce your chance of getting the condition.
Steps to prevent coronary artery disease include managing risk factors:
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Begin a safe exercise program with the advice of your doctor.
- Stop smoking.
- Eat a healthful diet, one that is low in saturated fat and rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
- Appropriately treat high blood pressure and/or diabetes.
- Appropriately treat abnormal cholesterol levels or high triglycerides .

Last night I broke my brain.
I have some tabs with ~220ug of LSD on them and I finally tried one.
It was incredible.
The most beautiful trip I've ever had.
I sat on my bedroom floor and painted and listened to music for over half the trip. I meditated so deep into my mind. Overwhelming euphoria was sent as waves through my whole body, everything was sparkling and pulsing and I felt incredible peace and harmony with everything.
As I was painting, things just started developing. I didn't have any idea what was i was painting but after I had about half of it done I came out of my psychedelic haze and realized I was drawing myself.
It was the most unreal discovery. The painting is about 2 feet tall and just loomed over me in its colorful glory. I couldn't take it, I cried so much and so hard over it. Pure fuckin bliss. I love lsd.

State Rep. Ed Soliday's plan for the Little Calumet River Basin Development Commission, backed by Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr., is a compromise that combines the best of both plans for levee maintenance.
It offers local governance — locals nominate, governor appoints — with strict controls on funding, and it cuts off the Porter County portion of the watershed. It is the best of both worlds when it comes to enabling continued maintenance of the extensive flood control system from Interstate 65 to the state line.
When Lake County Surveyor George Van Til and McDermott introduced the conservancy district concept to support levee maintenance, the district would have included the Porter County portion of the Little Calumet River watershed, making problematic the creation of a conservancy district by a Lake County judge. It would have been a new government entity that could have created a new tax — OK, user fee, we understand the semantics — that could have ratcheted up without strict controls. It could have allowed the election of local board members without any practical knowledge of engineering or hydrology or other related subjects.
McDermott abandoned the conservancy district idea after its flaws became widely known. But he also fought Soliday's plan in the General Assembly last session because it didn't provide for local representatives.
It is good to see Soliday, R-Valparaiso, and McDermott, the Lake County Democratic chairman, come together with this new compromise. With the governor being limited to appointing board members nominated by local officials, and with an advisory board of experts included, the concern about local representation has been addressed while maintaining the provision that the board be guided by people who know what they're doing.
The fees also would be set by state statute, with a five-year cost-of-living increase factored in. That addresses concerns about controlling the costs.
The worst possible scenario would be to have continued inaction on levee maintenance because that could lead to catastrophic flooding like we saw in September 2008. Unless the levees are maintained, they will eventually fail. And relying on the individual communities to maintain them won't work because if one community fails to meet this responsibility, all communities could suffer.
This compromise shows what can happen when politicians with opposing views but similar goals work together to find a solution. This result is better than either original proposal.
The General Assembly should approve this new plan.

Irish fest draws huge crowd to Adams Corner
Oct. 11, 2010
An estimated 10,000 people— and perhaps many more than that— attended yesterday's Irish Heritage Festival in Adams Corner. The second annual event featured two stages of music and dancing, vendors, outdoor dining and more — all geared towards a massive celebration of Irish culture. The family-friendly crowd swelled well beyond the large turnout of the inaugural street fest in 2009. The event included traditional Irish music as well as rock-oriented acts, including the U2 cover band The Joshua Tree, which took the main stage at 7 p.m.
Organizer Sean Weir told the Reporter that a large crowd had assembled in the village by 9:30 a.m.— a half-hour before the event actually started.

Booked in for TT in August
- MumOf3
- Australia
- 3 years ago
First of all, I'm loving this site. It's so great to hear "real" stories and I feel less nervous about my upcoming procedure! I'm 29 and a mum of 3 gorgeous girls (quite close together - had 3 under 3). Each were c-sections, apparently my pelvis is too small to give birth naturally (and bub number 1 was a good effort at 8lbs 11oz!). I've been having major problems with my periods since bub number 3 to the point where my ob/gyn has said the only thing that'll fix all the issues is a hysterectomy. I also have a fair bit of muscle separation too and the outside of my stomach is like pizza dough - I'm sure most of you know what I mean :) It's saggy and I have overhang, and I'm very self-conscious about what clothes I can wear without looking pregnant. At my consultation, my ob/gyn commented on how bad the outside of my stomach is and offered to sort it out by doing a TT when he does the hysterectomy - I'm ssssoooo happy/excited/nervous/terrified but can't wait!! (And of course, I will be posting before and after pictures later). I know it's still a while away but just wanted to share :) Also, has anyone had c-sections and a TT? How does the recovery compare? Thanks again to everyone else who's been sharing all their stories on this site - it's so good to be able to read everyone's experiences. Happy tummy-tucking/recovering everyone!
Comments (2)
I'm glad RealSelf has helped you! There are lots of women on RS who've had C-sections and compared the pain. Some women say a tummy tuck is more painful, others say the c-section was. Here's what some doctors have to say about having a hysterectomy and tummy tuck together. Will a plastic surgeon be performing the tummy tuck portion of your surgery?

Please note that the new multi-species farm standards apply to all types of production systems for finfish and crustaceans, excluding cage-raised salmonids, which retain separate BAP standards. The new standards replace the species-specific standards previously established for shrimp, tilapia, Pangasius and channel catfish. The multi-species standards focus on culture systems, but maintain unique species-related aspects where applicable, through supplements.
The new BAP standards apply to species that include but are not limited to seabass, sea bream, cobia, seriola, trout, grouper, barramundi, perch, carp, flounder, turbot, striped bass, crabs, freshwater prawns and crawfish.
For farms that are currently BAP certified, there will be a transition period to adapt to the new standards. The new standards will become mandatory for currently BAP-certified farms on January 1, 2014. For new farms not already BAP certified, the multi-species standards are effective immediately.

Behind the scenes: John Moores Painting Prize
2 October 2013 by Lisa
There's less than a month to go before call for entries for the John Moores Painting Prize closes and the team are already feeling inspired by the entries that have been submitted so far. Here's Project Assistant Katherine Lloyd to give us a peek behind the scenes…
" Having been a regular visitor to the exhibition over the years It's really exciting for me to be apart of the John Moores painting prize team. I am particularly looking forward to being able to see the whole process, seeing the exhibition grow from initial registrations right through to the final exhibition. It will be exciting to be part of the busy schedules at the varying stages, working alongside the jurors and the artists and ultimately working towards the grand opening in July. Read more…

Arc de Triomphe :: VB Photography
what to wear when…in a vietnamese fairy tale.
examples: từ thức gặp tiên (tu thuc and the fairy queen), nhân tham tài nhi tử, điểu tham thực nhi vong (the greedy man and the greedy bird), tấm cám (the two sisters, a dark cinderella variant)
[the bản chính, the dominant kihn (người việt) versions, of vietnamese câu chuyện cổ tích] exemplify the woman's unquestionable and unconditional fidelity and devotion to her man and his family - the more extreme, the more praise-worthy.
on the contrary, the second image of women in [vietnam's fairy tales] strongly suggests that the woman is equally capable of using her brains and determining her conduct, equally ready to work for a living and perform difficult tasks as do men. in myth, several deities in charge of natural elements are female: the goddesses of fire, of water, of carpentry, the twelve female deities who are responsible for the shaping of our human bodies and making them function.
more significantly, vietnamese legends which are built around real historical figures or legendary heroes do not hesitate to celebrate women in important positions and roles…folk songs defy the first image of women by ridiculing the false concept of women's inferiority and dependency and mocking the double standard in an exaggerated way…the first image [of womanhood] reflects the dominant ethical tradition advocated and enforced by the ruling class [which was] very much influenced by confucianism; it sets a model for women's behavior, or the ideal. in contrast, the second image, which exposes the woman's deviance from the ideal given real life situations and what she can actually do, recalls the pre-chinese indigenous or popular tradition…the popular tradition is a persistent undercurrent which has resurfaced whenever the elite tradition has weakened.

unequivocal: Do you include transwomen in "women and trans men"? If so, it sounds like the author is talking about people who exclude transwomen in that group, not people who include them.

Very well located if doing Government WorkPosted Sep 6, 2014
Pros: The top restaurant
Cons: Offer a fan to get the cool outside air inside
Location: Very good if you will visit government buildings
The minibar needs to be more complete. Do not have A/A and is cold outside but there is no way to ghet the cold air in the room. Is a bit noisy outside and can not close the windows since there is no FAN o A/A. Now there is heater. Hotel Staff & Restaurant are great.

Warm rooms and missing breakfastPosted Dec 16, 2012
The hotel is centrally located and well kept. It is of note that the hotel has no air conditioning. The room tended to get warm. Attempts to cool down met with limited success. Turning on the fan only provided warm air. There is no thermostat in the room. To cool the room the only option is to open the window. The hotel offered to provide a fan for use in the room. The hotel breakfast begins at 4:30am to support early travelers. The day I left there was no breakfast at opening and no indication that preparation was underway.

This unkind 2014 season of the Arizona Diamondbacks has taken a wicked turn. Center fielder A.J. Pollock was hit in the hand by a Johnny Cueto fastball in the eighth inning of the D'backs' 5-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. It turns out the hand is fractured which will cause Pollock to miss a significant amount of time.
The timing couldn't have been worse for the former first round pick. He is probably going to be named National League Player of the Week after batting .500 since Monday. He leads the Snakes in batting with a .316 average, on-base percentage at .366 and stolen bases with eight. Pollock's surge in May put him squarely in the discussion for the NL All-Star team. According to Nick Piecoro at azcentral.com, more tests will be done and surgery can not be ruled out at this point.
With Pollock now out, and Mark Trumbo still recovering from a stress fracture in his foot, two-thirds of the Snakes' starting outfield will have missed a healthy chunk of the season. Pollock's injury has resulted in David Peralta being called up from Double A Mobile.
We wish A.J. a speedy recovery and hope to see him back before school starts.

The Liberal Democrats have been criticised by Green Party politicians and activists for the terms on which they have agreed a coalition deal with the Conservative Party.
An alliance of left-wing and trade union activists have launched their election campaign on a platform of workers' rights and public services, along with opposition to privatisation, war and cuts.
The Communist Party of Britain (CPB) has said that after a week and a half of election campaigning, "the people's needs continue to be ignored by the main parties".
Church leaders and Christian agencies say they are disappointed that neither of the two biggest political parties have included a commitment to the Robin Hood Tax in their manifestos.
Any remaining doubts I had about the nature of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) were dispelled today when they published their general election manifesto.
Plaid Cymru have launched their general election manifesto with an insistence that protection for the vulnerable is a political priority that other parties are ignoring.
The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) have launched their manifesto with commitments to right-wing free-market economics, a freeze on immigration and heavy cuts in public services.
Christian Aid is seeking nominations for its Tax Superhero of the Year award. The idea is to recognise the tremendous potential of good tax practice to change the world.
The URC is backing the 'Robin Hood Tax' campaign launched today (Wednesday 10 February) by a broad coalition of domestic charities, aid agencies, unions, faith organisations and green groups.

Contributor Gary Jackaman poses the question of whether Alan Shearer and Terry Venables could be the dream team for Newcastle United?
Articles by Gary Jackaman
Newcastle United – From Calamity To Hope?
Writer Gary Jackaman sees hope springing pre-season after the calamity of the second half of last year, can the new signings help Newcastle United push on?
Newcastle Fans Experiencing That Sinking Feeling
Gary Jackaman believes Newcastle fans are experiencing that sinking feeling after watching the team since Christmas.
Have Newcastle Got The Best Midfield Outside Of Top 4?
What seemed encouraging from Joe's recent interview was that he and Pardew have compiled a second short list should moves for Gomis, Downing and Remy be unsuccessful. Maybe this partnership is not as bad as we all feared.
Help Me If You Can I'm Feeling Down
What is less encouraging is Pardew's assertion that he seems to be happy with what he has got. I read that on one of the forums claims that we've already done our transfer business in January and no signings are forthcoming.
Pardew Has To Be Cruel To Be Kind To Save His Job
Despite excuses of a long season in Europe and injuries to players, Alan has been allowed to continue preparations for next season. Many feel that he and the players have a lot of making up to do after last season and why not.
Time For Alan Pardew To Go?
Mike and Derek have to sit down and if they care about the club, and/or want a return on their investment, they need someone at the helm that can inspire and cajole the team and get the best out of them. On paper, our team is a top 10 squad with Ben Arfa, Tiote, Cabaye, Krul and Cisse coveted by some of the top teams in Europe.
Newcastle United – What A Difference A Month Makes
The impact that they have had is amazing. Sissoko's home debut against Chelsea was a sight to behold, as was Gouffran's whose pace and intelligence up front has given the team a new dimension. Haidara, Debuchy and Yanga-Mbiwa have also looked strong.
Time For Newcastle United To Sink Or Swim
Unless everyone from the managerial team to the people upstairs 'work tirelessly' to bring in a striker and central defender then a relegation battle is likely to be on the cards. We will either sink faster than the Titanic into the relegation zone or we can swim to safety.
A Tangled Web
This season has been a stark contrast to the back slapping, congratulatory messages that were regularly received from the nation's media for Alan Pardew and the lads last season. A run of 11 defeats in 13 has left fans questioning whether Pardew is the man to lead us forward.

As a follow-up to the Islamic Hostage Barbie Hoax, an anonymous poster to a Jihadist message board (he calls himself 'al-Iraqi4') has come forward to claim responsibility for the hoax.

I am unarmed, independent and do not belong to any party or group. I apologize to all the parties and everyone, for I meant nothing by that [no harm]. The picture was a scheme that I…

Islamic Hostage Barbie Hoax
Posted by The Curator on Wed Feb 02, 2005
The Islamic Hostage Barbie Hoax as Instapundit has dubbed it (i.e. that hoax photo of a captured U.S. soldier) is now all over the blogosphere. It seems quite clear that it was an action figure in the photo, not an American soldier. But it's not clear to me where this photo originally came from. Where is this mysterious Islamic website that the picture was posted on? If we knew that it would be a lot easier to tell if it was meant as a joke, or as a serious (though absurd) threat. Anyway, as I've been browsing the web I've already come across a lot of photo parodies of the hoax. Here are…

Volkswagen Polo Ad
Posted by The Curator on Wed Jan 19, 2005
Check out this ad for the Volkswagen Polo (link may be dead) that's been going around. A suicide bomber blows himself up inside the car, but the car is so tough that it contains the explosion. Seems to push the envelope a bit too much to be an actual ad commissioned by Volkswagen, and sure enough it's not. It's a 'spec ad', created by leeanddan.com. Spec ads are 'speculative ads' created to show potential clients what kind of work you're capable of doing. In other words, Volkswagen never endorsed this material.

Were students suspended for wearing John Deere shirts?
Posted by The Curator on Tue Nov 09, 2004
According to a rumor, students at a Baltimore County school were recently suspended for wearing John Deere shirts. The shirts, apparently, are considered racist. (I'm still trying to figure that one out. I guess if you wear a John Deere shirt you must be a redneck and, by extension, you must also be racist). But a spokesman for the school system has denied that any John-Deere-shirt-wearing students have been suspended on account of their fashion choice.

Woman Learns of Her Death in Iraq
Posted by The Curator on Thu Nov 04, 2004
I've heard about people who find their own obituaries mistakenly printed in papers, but I imagine that discovering you've been killed by Islamic militants in Iraq would be a little more off-putting. As the Associated Press reports: A woman was shocked to learn Friday that a photo of what appeared to be her old driver's license showed up on an Islamic Web site along with a claim that she had been captured in southern Iraq and slain. She's never been anywhere near Iraq, but she speculates that the militants got her name from a Kuwaiti guy she dated in the '80s. So not only has she been killed by Islamic militants, but also an old relationship is coming…

Survive 9/11
Posted by The Curator on Tue Nov 02, 2004
According to Replay Studios, Survivor will be a computer game that will allow people to "experience the most dramatic disasters of the 20 - 21th century in independent game episodes." The goal will be not only to virtually experience these disasters, but also to see if you could survive them. Here are some of the scenarios gamers will be able to play: Hiroshima, the Titanic, Hurricane Andrew, and (of course) 9/11. Replay Studios seems to be a legitimate game developer, so I'm almost certain that the game is real. But the inclusion of 9/11 does seem odd, especially since there was a previous 9/11 Survivor game from last year that turned out to be a hoax/art…

Transformers Comic Book Predicted 9/11
Posted by The Curator on Mon Aug 23, 2004
Here's something that brings back memories of the Nostradamus predictions that swirled around in the weeks after 9/11. Some guy is claiming that comic book artist Simon Furman predicted 9/11 in a Transformers comic book published on Sep. 14, 1991. His main proof: a picture of a transformer (rodimus prime) hanging between the destroyed towers of the World Trade Center. He's selling the comic book that contains this picture (as well as some other stuff) on eBay UK. He launches into some convoluted explanation of other ways in which his Transformers comic book predicted 9/11, and then he winds up his sales pitch with this startling, though…

Hoax Execution and ABC News
Posted by The Curator on Sat Aug 07, 2004
Today ABC News sent a camerateam around to my house to interview me about the hoax execution of Benjamin Vanderford. Vanderford used special-effects to stage his own execution by Islamic militants, then uploaded footage of the scene onto file-sharing networks, and waited for the media to bite. It took three months, but the media finally did bite, reporting it as an actual execution yesterday. At which point, Vanderford confessed to the hoax. I got a call from ABC this morning asking if I'd be willing to do an interview. I had only just read about Vanderford's hoax a few minutes before they called, but I said sure, why not. About an hour later the camerateam was there. I…

Fake Terrorism Drill

This should win some kind of award for stupidity. Government officials in Carter County, Tenn. were settling down to their meeting about property taxes when armed intruders burst into the room, fired shots into the air, and proceeded to take hostages. "There will be no new taxes, everyone here is going to vote no," one intruder shouted. People panicked and rushed for cover. But no need. Turns out it was just a "drill" orchestrated by the local Emergency Management Director. Problem is, while the Director had told a few people there was going to be some kind of exercise, he hadn't warned anyone about the nature of it. Maybe it's just me, but I can't imagine that the…

Then there was the bizarre case of American soldier-of-fortune types in Afghanistan who set up a fake prison in order to interrogate people they grabbed off the street whom they thought might be al-qaeda members.…

A lot of people in New York have been getting an email warning them not to ride the subways this Friday because terrorists may be planning a big attack. It's your typical I-heard-it-from-a-friend-of-a-friend nonsense, laced with a liberal helping of numerology (Friday being 6/11, WTC attack 9/11, Madrid bombing 3/11), plus bogus information (the city hasn't ordered a couple thousand extra body bags). You can read the full email over at Gawker. The New York City Police insist that they have no knowledge of an impending attack.

Abu Ghraib Prison Fantasy Camp
Posted by The Curator on Tue May 11, 2004
Something like this was inevitable, I suppose. It's the Abu Ghraib Iraqi Prison Fantasy Camp, situated in scenic Mountain Home, Idaho.

Abu Ghraib Fantasy Camp is here for you! (actual opening date set for Summer '04). At Abu Ghraib Fantasy Camp... you'll find dozens of 'Iraqi prisoners' you'll be able to 'discipline.'

Updates from the War Against Terror
Posted by The Curator on Sun May 02, 2004
Here are a couple of news reports that are deeply disturbing on many different levels. First, a story from Macedonia where the police have admitted that seven Pakistani 'terrorists' they gunned down two years weren't terrorists at all. The seven men were actually completely innocent would-be immigrants who were lured to Macedonia with the promise of being granted access to Western Europe. The Macedonian police then killed them and created a phony story about how they were terrorists in order to win US support. Next, there were those photos of Iraqi prisoners being tortured by US soldiers that recently surfaced, prompting President Bush to remark how disgusted he was by what he saw. I haven't heard anything to…
