Low Odor, High Strength Our formula emits lower odor than most 5 minute epoxies and provides high shear and peel strength. DP125 starts with medium viscosity for easy, controlled dispensing where you need it, and minimizes any runs, drips or migration. Its flexibility when cured makes it ideal for applications involving dissimilar surfaces, where coefficients of thermal expansion are a consideration. The mix ratio is 1:1 and provides a 25 minute work life to allow plenty of time for positioning and to adjust for fit prior to setting. The adhesive reaches handling strength in approximately 2.5 hours and is fully cured in 7 days (at 72 degrees F/22 degrees C). For best results, always use 3M™ Scotch-Weld™ EPX™ Plus II Applicator and Mixing Nozzles, sold separately. Both mixing nozzle and applicator are required for dispensing from the Duo-Pak cartridge.
What Are Epoxy Adhesives? Epoxy adhesives are part of the class of adhesives called "structural adhesives," which also includes polyurethane, acrylic, cyanoacrylate, and others. Epoxies begin as liquid reactive polymers that undergo a chemical chain reaction when mixed, and then cure to form a solid plastic material. Once the two parts are mixed in their specified ratio, they begin the curing process and offer a limited working time where the adhesive can be applied and the two surfaces positioned as needed. This "work life" lasts anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours or longer. This class of structural adhesives provides high shear and peel strengths, depending on the formula and better heat and chemical resistance than other common adhesives. Epoxies that are heat cured are more heat and chemical resistant than those that cure at room temperature. Epoxy adhesives are widely used in building and home construction, aircraft and automobile manufacture, bicycle, boat, golf clubs, ski, and snowboard assembly and a host of home use and other applications; virtually anywhere high-strength bonds are needed along with resistance to environmental conditions. These adhesives are popular for their ease of use, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. Formulations can be created to make epoxies that are flexible or rigid, transparent or opaque, quick setting or slow setting. The versatility with which epoxy adhesives can be formulated helps meet almost any requirement for bonding wood, metal, glass, stone, and various plastics.
Industrial uses for epoxies range widely and include coatings, adhesives, and composite materials like carbon fiber and glass-reinforced plastic. They are the preferred choice for their ability to flow and conform to the work area, strong adhesion, chemical and heat resistance, and exceptional mechanical and electrical insulating properties.

Thanks Ken. We don't normally use salt here so maybe the zinc will last longer than 2 years.

Don, very nice work on the railing, nice smooth welds. Can't imagine coming down icy steps anymore without one. I'm curious how bad she had to twist your arm to go buy that welder - lol.
My wife will not let me get one at least for a couple years since I just bought a new motorcycle. Thats a good thing, keeps the honey do list down and I have the welders in at work if I need to fix anything.Ken

From page 50 of the Miller Gas Metal Arc Welding manual:
"(Deoxidizing helps remove oxygen from the weld, helping to reduce porosity and therefore weld defects.)...Because of the heavy deoxidation of this wire it can be used for welding rusty or dirty steels, with a possibliity of some sacrifice of weld quality depending upon the condition of the metal."
I grind and degrease the metal to clean it as well as I can, but sometimes it is difficult to clean the back side.

The Coudersport Falcons used a 14-for-14 effort from the foul line in the fourth quarter to defeat the St. Marys Area Flying Dutchmen by a 59-51 score last night at the Dutch Oven.
St. Marys held a slim 40-38 lead going into the final eight minutes of play. In the fourth quarter, the Falcons outscored the Dutch by a 21-11 margin to come out on top.
"We struggled from the foul line tonight but it was our inability to stop their penetration. They were able to penetrate too easily," said St. Marys coach Mark Guido.
The Elk County Catholic Crusaders suffered their second setback of the season on Tuesday evening, when they were nipped 66-65 by the DuBois Area High Beavers in a District Nine League encounter played at the DuBois gym.
The loss dropped the Crusaders to 2-2 on the season.
The 2011 budget for the City of St. Marys was approved by city council with a vote of 5-2 on Monday evening. Councilmen Sally Geyer and Dick Dornisch both voted in opposition, and the decision was not without some dissent from a few area residents as well.
During a public hearing held on the city's 2011 budget at the beginning of the city council meeting, a few residents addressed council about what they stated was an unfair increase in their property taxes.
The Elk County Commissioners voted Tuesday to send a letter of intent to the North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission [NCPRPDC] officials expressing their interest in buying the Industrial Technical Education Center [ITEC].
"As commissioners are aware and as the press has reported, the county [officials] has been in discussion with North Central [officials] regarding the purchase of ITEC," said county solicitor Tom Wagner during a short board meeting Tuesday morning. "We've reached a point in our discussions now where we want to move forward.
For the first time in 372 years, the winter season got underway in unique fashion with a total lunar eclipse.
The winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year and this year, winter officially got underway at 6:38 p.m.
The last time a lunar eclipse corresponded with the winter solstice was Dec. 21, 1638. At that time, what is now the United States was only a series of young colonies under British control and William Penn had not even crossed the Atlantic to begin the settlement of what is now Pennsylvania.
Dressed in festive colors of red, green and white, first grade students at South St. Marys Street Elementary sang and danced their way through their class musical, "Christmas on Candy Cane Lane," presented on Tuesday afternoon.
The 20-minute musical centered around Candy Cane Lane, which was abuzz with festive holiday preparation. Amidst the candy canes, lights, wreaths and evergreen Christmas trees, trouble was brewing as the candy canes debated over which was the best color for them, red or green.
The Lady Dutch of St. Marys Area High School ran their slate to 5-0 on Monday evening as they handed the Port Allegany Lady Gators a 60-33 setback in a game played at the "Dutch Oven".
The Lady Gators led only once in the ball game, and that was at the start, 2-0. St. Marys used a pressure defense to control the ball game, as they forced the Lady Gators into turnover after turnover, especially during the first half.
The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader basketball team held off the DuBois Central Catholic Lady Cardinals by a 43-39 score last night in an Allegheny Mountain League game played at the DCCHS gym.
The Lady Crusaders took a 20-15 lead at the half, then held on as the Lady Cardinals outscored ECC by a 24-23 margin in the last 16 minutes of play.
"This was a nice win on the road," said ECCHS coach Ken Pistner.
"Our transition game improved tonight and we played good defense, holding Hopkins to nine points," noted Pistner.
Members of city council approved entering into a right-of-way agreement on Monday evening with Kaul Land Company. Through the agreement, the city will allow Kaul Land Company to cross city-owned land to access property near the St. Marys Airport while, in turn, Kaul Land Company will give, by deed of dedication, a section of property comprising part of Environmental Drive to the city.
According to Mark Jacob, city solicitor, the city and Kaul Land Company have been holding ongoing discussions about the matter for over three years.
With Christmas right around the corner, patrons have been steadily visiting Dostal's Curiosity Shop, a longtime St. Marys business, which features a unique array of both international and local speciality items not found in typical toy or hobby stores. From Russian nesting dolls to Bavarian and German toys to an array of Nativity scenes from around the world, the shop offers items which pique the interest of both children and adults.

The closing line of the opening to the epic television series "Star Trek" says, "... to boldly go where no man has gone before." That can also be used to describe the Panama Razorbacks football team right now.
The Hogs won their second straight game last week with a 34-6 home win over the Quinton Savages Friday night at George Ollie Stadium.
"It's the best I've seen us play in the two years I've been here," said Brandon Ellis, Panama's coach. "Everything clicked. The biggest improvement I saw last week was our offensive line in the way we hooked up with our blocks."
Needless to say, there's buzzing about town when it comes to the Razorbacks.
"The people are excited," Ellis said. "It's only two games, but it's two games we haven't had in the past two years. It's a big thing. Those two wins have accounted for so much, confidence wise."
By stepping out of District 2A-6 play as the Hogs did last week, it meant an easier chance to keep this momentum going.
"I don't like having off weeks," Ellis said. "It just gets us out of rhythm. The kids look forward to playing after a week of practice."
Now, the Razorbacks (2-5 overall, 1-2 in district play) return to District 2A-6 play this week as they make the long trip to meet the Hugo Buffaloes (2-5, 0-3) at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Focus On Sanford's Whereabouts, Again, Won't Help Gender Gap
Originally published on Wed April 17, 2013 4:29 pm
If it seemed like former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford's problem with female voters couldn't get any worse, well, it appears that it might have.
Sanford, a Republican, is hoping to put the marital scandal that defined his second term behind him with a return to Congress in a May 7 special election. But just two days later, Sanford will have to appear in court to defend himself from an accusation that he was at his ex-wife's house in February without her permission.
A complaint Jenny Sanford filed in Charleston County Court asks that Mark Sanford be held in contempt of court and "punished accordingly." According to the court filing, Jenny Sanford confronted her ex-husband as he left her Sullivan's Island home on Feb. 3 by the back door, "using his phone as a flashlight."
According to the Charleston County Court website, a hearing on the matter is scheduled for May 9.
In a statement his campaign released Wednesday, Mark Sanford acknowledged that he was at his ex-wife's house on Feb. 3:
"I did indeed watch the second half of the Super Bowl at the beach house with our 14 year old son because as a father I didn't think he should watch it alone," Sanford said in the statement. "Given [his ex-wife Jenny] was out of town I tried to reach her beforehand to tell her of the situation that had arisen, and met her at the back steps under the light of my cell phone when she returned and told her what had happened."
Jenny Sanford's complaint says the Feb. 3 incident was part of a "pattern of entering onto plaintiff's property, both at her former and current residences, without her permission and against her wishes."
According to her complaint: "Plaintiff has informed defendant on a number of occasions that this behavior is in violation of the court's order, and has demanded that it not occur again. She additionally filed a 'no trespass' letter with her local police department."
And although Mark Sanford calls the Sullivan's Island home "the beach house," property records show that Jenny Sanford is the sole owner.
In his statement, Mark Sanford called it "curious" that sealed court documents are now being published in news accounts. "I agree with Jenny that the media is no place to debate what is ultimately a family court matter, and out of respect for Jenny and the boys, I'm not going to have any further comment at this time."
The new revelations, though, was enough for the National Republican Congressional Committee to drop its backing of Sanford in the coming special election against Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch. Polling has shown a considerable gender gap in the tight race, with women preferring Colbert Busch.
Mark Sanford was a rising Republican star as governor when he disappeared for several days in 2009. Aides said he was "hiking the Appalachian trail," but he later admitted he had gone to Argentina to visit his lover, whom he called his "soul mate."
He and his wife divorced, but he served out his second term. He jumped back into politics early this year when Republican Rep. Tim Scott was picked to fill a vacant Senate seat. Sanford had held the same congressional seat before he became governor.
Sanford won both a Republican primary last month and a runoff two weeks ago, campaigning on themes of remorse and redemption. He is now engaged to the Argentine woman, Maria Chapur.

Cherries are a practical fruit for home orchards where climate and soil conditions are suitable. Once established, they require little maintenance and are reliable producers. They are best adapted to areas where summers are moderately cool. The trees dislike high humidity. They are usually the last fruit to bloom and first to ripen. Most varieties require a pollenizer. Sweet cherries can reach 25-30 feet tall in deep soils. Sensitive to wet, tight soils. Susceptible to birds, brown rot, and bacterial canker. The trees are 2 years old and you can expect to harvest 4th or 5th year. On Colt rootstock which performs well in heavy soils, and is apparently resistant to bacterial canker. Relatively tolerant of wet soils (but good drainage still required). Trees begin bearing at young age. Unpruned, trees on Colt reach 85% of standard (about 28'-32'). By pruning, you can keep your tree to any size.
Please Note: Although most of our bare-root trees arrive to our warehouse in mid-December, there are a few varieties -- Mulberry, Persimmon, Quince, and Walnut -- that will not arrive until mid-January. If you order any of those varieties along with varieties that arrive in mid-December, your order will be delayed for shipment until mid-January unless you ask us to split your shipments and agree to pay any additional shipping charges resulting from two separate shipments.

James Franco Dropped By Advertising Campaigns Over His Gay Themed Films
In a red carpet interview last week at SXSW, James Franco suggested that he has been dropped from three advertising campaigns due to his involvement in two gay-oriented films he put out at Sundance, and not due to his image as the companies reported. He produced Kink and co-directed and starred in a forthcoming Travis Matthews film, Interior.Leather Bar. Franco suggested that this exemplifies the homophobia that still exists in American media. As many advertisers have already begun to notice, gays and lesbians will only continue to become an increasingly visible part of American society. While the exact reason for Franco having been dropped from these campaigns is unclear at this time, the depiction of raw gay sexuality as portrayed in these films was no doubt part of the conversation. Other explicit films depicting heterosexual sex rarely if ever raise an eyebrow among the public, and neither should these.
Gay-Themed Ads Are Becoming More Mainstream
Above is an article posted by the Huffington Post regarding the new Kindle ad that features a gay couple. I've been delighted to see this Kindle commercial running fairly often. What Kindle did really well in this ad was incorporate a gay couple into a story line that didn't center around their orientation. They essentially normalized this couple and more importantly they weren't necessarily the punchline. This is the best type of integration for LGBT couples in advertisements because it doesn't play off their perceived differences as a joke. Eventually more same-sex couples will seamlessly be incorporated into advertising, and it's novelty will wear off with every ad (which the article refers to a bit as 'going mainstream'), but that's simply the process of normalization which I think should be the ultimate goal.

The perfect "Granny or Grandpa" poster face is what the photographer from Discra, an adult diaper company, hopes to find as he approaches a retirement home, camera in hand. A quick look at a couple of "nice old folks" and that should be it. But it's just the beginning of the story (or rather stories). While the folks he meets are a bit long in the tooth, they have a lot to say. With Pumpkins and Old Lace, Juliette Loubières joins the classic tradition of puppet animation films, creating a sincere, whimsical fairy tale with a moral that reminds us that old age is sometimes a mask guarding the treasures of our souls.

I hooked up my 211 yesterday for the first time and began running beads for practice. I noticed that I could not see the front of the weld puddle while pushing. I had to estimate where I needed to stop.
I adjusted the sensitivity on my Digital Performance hood down from 15 (recommended setting ) to 13. It did not seem to make a difference.
I should be able to see the puddle and the immediate steel nearby, right? Should I keep adjusting the sensitivity down until I see it? I don't want to damage my eyes.

Adjust shade not sensitivity.
Use a shade 10 for GMAW. I've heard of folks who could get by with a 9 but I'm a bit fearful of that.
Sensitivity determines when the auto-shade kicks in. I sensitivity is set too high the shae will stay dark just looking out the garage door. :-)
I have the same problem. I couldn't see anything with my Hobart XVP so I bought a Digital Elite. Made a lot of difference. I also found that by not getting too close to the arc I could see better and I'm pretty sure a magnifier will help me as well.
Also try running welder's chalk through the joint. That extra "white" can be helpful as well.==============

Yes, I agree, Adjust the shade till you can see the weld puddle clearly !
I've been running shade 9 for the last few years.
Prior to that I used shade 10 for many years .

Thanks guys, I probably meant Shade instead of Sensitivity; I don't have the helmet in front of me.
It is good to know that the numbers are closer to 10 than 15.
More practice is in order.

This soup is amazing. I work as the head chef at a local country club, and I made this soup for my members. I had nothing but compliments. I added a little white wine for extra flavor. I would definitely recommend this soup to everyone.
Won't be making again because there are other Italian sausage soups I like much better. The pasta absorbed most of the broth so it wasn't "soupy."

Very good recipe. Pasta does balloon when left in liquid. Might be good to cook pasta seperately and add to soup per serving. Excellent flavor.
Yum! I used Jimmy dean light bulk sausage, italian herb mix in place of rosemary, basil & sage, and subbed low sodium veggie broth for half of the chix broth. I added more celery and 2 bay leaves too. I boiled whole wheat rotini pasta separately until almost done, then finished it in the soup. Best part: we had a snow storm, and I already had all of the ingredients on hand! Next time, maybe no pasta (bread instead!) and add chopped spinach at the end.
This soup was great - we used Portuguese sausage instead (chourico) since my husband is Portuguese and I've been trying to find recipes where I can use it as he loves it! And I also substituted diced potatoes for the pasta. It was great and definately stay in my permanent box of recipes!
Good and easy to put together on the spur of the moment with ingredients I most often have at hand. Rather than the individual seasonings I just used a tablespoon of my favorite Tuscan seasoning. My own tomatoes put up from my garden filled in for the canned, although I would have been just as happy with the canned. I used a combination of beef and chicken broth, and cannellini beans (white kidney beans). I added a good glug of red wine, threw in a rind from Parmigiano-Reggiano during the simmer, and added some chopped fresh baby spinach at the end.
This soup is easy to make, hearty, filling and delicious. I used 2 cans of beef broth and 1 can of chicken since that's what I had on hand. This is a great dinner to keep ingredients on hand for and throw together at the last minute!
It was pretty good, but I think next time I'll leave out the noodles. The sausage and the rest was the best part, I thought the noodles got in the way. Very tasty, though.

Caleb was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the fourth round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Entry Draft and is currently playing with the Elizabethton Twins of the Appalachian League.
This marks the second-consecutive season that
Hargis ranked second on the Bucs last season with a .387 batting average while leading the team with 22 doubles. He also scored 51 runs, hit seven homers, drove in 42 runs and stole 12 bases. He finished the season on a 16-game hitting streak, tied for best on the team."This is another prestigious honor for Caleb and Chuck, especially because they are being recognized by the Division I baseball coaches in our region," said ETSU head baseball coach Tony Skole. "I am extremely proud of them and this is testament to their hard work and the character of these of young men."

3/4 cup
1 cup
white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
1 cup
The skin of the hazelnut is quite bitter. To remove it easily, in a large saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add 4 tablespoons of baking soda and 1 cup of hazelnuts and boil nuts for about 3 minutes. Test a nut under cool running water. If the skin doesn't slip off easily, boil nuts another minute or two. After peeling, nuts should be crisped and lightly browned in a 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes.
I tried these in a biscotti pan and I tried them in a sheet pan like the recipe calls for. Either way they were not very good. Too crumbly, too sweet, too many hazelnuts. Not really what you think of as a "biscotti"...more like dried cake. Also, the dough flattened out way too much when baking. I will not try this recipe again. I found a nice pistachio/cranberry biscotti recipe from another site which I've already made several times. I will stick with that recipe...they are delicious!!

This is the BEST recipe. Everyone I made this for has raved about it. We dunk the pieces in hot cocoa. They are better drizzled with WHITE chocolate (it complements the cinnamon), and I coarsley chop the hazelnuts before mixing them in. Otherwise, I follow the recipe exactly. I didn't have any trouble with the dough nor did it spread when baking. It is important to cream the butter and sugar until the mixture is very fluffy.
I've tried many different biscotti recipes, but this one is my favorite. I like to experiment with different fillings.. once I added 3/4c chopped dried cranberries and 1/3c almonds and substituted vanilla extract for almond extract and drizzled with white chocolate cinnamon mix and it was DELICIOUS. Another favorite altercation is to add one chopped and frozen large candy bar (I use a local organic hazelnut milk chocolate bar... symphony bars work as well) and add crushed bits to mix before baking. They seem to melt instantly when dipped into hot coffee.
Another idea is 3/4c shredded coconut and 1/4c white chocolate bits. After they have cooled dip them into white chocolate and sprinkle with coconut ! Soooo very good and sooo easy to make.
My boyfriend hates crunchy biscotti, but absolutely loves this recipe.. And my mother loves hard crunchy biscotti and just raves about how good of a recipe this is. I brought a double batch of candy bar biscotti to work and they didn't even last 2 days before they were completely devoured by co-workers !!
For christmas, I am adding nutmeg, cinnamon, peppermint extract and crunched ghiradelli peppermint chocolates to the mix. Topping with white chocolate and peppermint sprinkles :)
This recipe is THE best and originality makes it even better !
I love this recipe exactly as it appears here but I have to admit that I have used it as a base to make the biscotti into other flavors. I add walnuts and either butterscotch bits or cinnamon bits and they get raves. I've read where some have problems with the biscotti crumbling when they cut them and I'll tell you how I over come that. I use a bench scrape to cut them when they are still hot,not a knife. My scrape is teflon covered but I don't think that's why it works so well. Another hint is that I line the cookie sheet with the new foil that is non-stick. Finally a product that does what it promises. You can not go wrong with this recipie and I am greatful to have found it. It has made me a baking hero and I thank you very much!
I did the 1/2 cup butter - extra cinnamon - shared the vanilla with almond extract and used almonds. I also baked them in my convection oven at 330 degrees for the same amount of time - took them out and cut them right away - not one broke - put them back in and baked them again for 10 mins. on each side - on the second side I shut the oven off after 10 minutes and just let them set there for about 15 or so minutes. They were very crisp like biscotti should be - very easy to handle during the dough stage and the taste was devine!! Used dark and white chocolate on some - and left some plain. First time I ever made biscotti - used to eat them frequently at a gourmet coffee/candy store that I managed ---these were better!! Thanks!! 11-5-14 Just finished making two batches of biscotti doing the usual almond with one batch while doing coconut/walnut with the other - I use coconut extract also. With white chocolate on top - their kinda hard to beat...unless your not a coconut fan.
I have to admit - my husband and I like a biscotti at night for dessert - we may have it with a cup of chai or....nothing ;)
UPDATE: My giftee LOVED these!!! I can't BELIEVE how good these biscotti are! I made a batch to give as a Christmas gift... and ate a few myself - lol. I don't care for nuts at all (except almonds), so I added a little less than called for (1 c. seemed like too much so I used 3/4 c. instead) and that seemed to be the perfect amount (you could still taste the nuts, but they didn't overpower every bite). I doubled the amount of cinnamon to 2 tsp. and subbed 1/2 tsp. of almond extract b/c I didn't have enough vanilla on hand (used all of the 1 tsp. that I had plus the almond extract), and the biscotti tasted just fine. After the cookies cooled, I melted a dark chocolate Ghirardelli bar with a bit of shortening (over a double boiler) and dipped one side of the biscotti in the mixture and then refrigerated on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet to set. I don't drink coffee, but I can imagine how wonderful these would taste with a cup of brew (one of my Christmas gifts was a bag of biscotti and a bag of Christmas blend coffee all tied up with a bow and a cute Christmas plate). I'll have to ask the giftee how it was :) I'll definitely make these again next year... but for myself!
This is an excellent recipe! My first try at biscotti and it came out very well. I used many of the suggestions from other reviews: toasted the nuts (used pecans) and chopped them finer, double cinnamon, and used almond extract for half of the vanilla. Also recommend waiting until logs cool completely before slicing. I also highly recommend using Pampered Chef stoneware if at all possible. I won't bake without it!

Interpretive Handbook
8634 :
Thyroid-Stimulating Immunoglobulin (TSI), Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Autoimmune thyroid disease is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies against various thyroid components, namely the thyrotropin receptor (thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor: TSHR), thyroid-peroxidase (TPO), and thyroglobulin (Tg), as well as an inflammatory cellular infiltrate of variable severity within the gland. Among the autoantibodies found in autoimmune thyroid disease, TSHR autoantibodies are most closely associated with disease pathogenesis. All forms of autoimmune thyrotoxicosis (Graves disease, Hashitoxicosis, neonatal thyrotoxicosis) are caused by the production of TSHR-stimulating autoantibodies. The role of the TPO and Tg autoantibodies in either autoimmune thyrotoxicosis or autoimmune hypothyroidism is less well established; they may merely represent epiphenomena. Detectable concentrations of anti-TPO antibodies are observed in most patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (eg, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, idiopathic myxedema, and Graves disease).
Autoantibodies that bind and transactivate the TSHR lead to stimulation of the thyroid gland independent of the normal feedback-regulated thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) stimulation. These TSHR autoantibodies also are known as long-acting-thyroid-stimulator or thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI). Some patients with Graves disease also have TSHR-blocking antibodies, which do not transactivate the TSHR. The balance between TSI and TSHR-blocking antibodies, as well as their individual titers, are felt to be determinants of Graves disease severity. At least 20% of patients with autoimmune hypothyroidism also have evidence either of TSHR-blocking antibodies or, less commonly, TSI.
TSHR autoantibodies may be found before autoimmune thyrotoxicosis becomes biochemically or clinically manifest. Since none of the treatments for Graves disease are aimed at the underlying disease process, but rather ablate thyroid tissue or block thyroid hormone synthesis, TSI may persist after apparent cure.
TSI are IgG antibodies and can therefore cross the placental barrier, causing neonatal thyrotoxicosis.
First-order tests for autoimmune thyroid disease include TPO / Thyroperoxidase (TPO) Antibodies, Serum (most suited for suspected cases of autoimmune hypothyroidism) and THYRO / Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody, Serum. Thyrotropin receptor antibody (TSHR-antibody) is a binding assay that detects both TSI and TSHR-blocking autoantibodies; it can be used instead of this TSI assay for most applications, as long as the results are interpreted in the clinical context. The TSHR-antibody test has a shorter turnaround time than the TSI assay, is less expensive, and if interpreted within the clinical context, has excellent correlation with the TSI assay. Specific detection of TSI is accomplished by this second-order bioassay.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Second-order testing for autoimmune thyroid disease, including:
-Differential diagnosis of etiology of thyrotoxicosis in patients with ambiguous clinical signs and/or contraindicated (eg, pregnant or breast-feeding) or indeterminate thyroid radioisotope scans
-Diagnosis of clinically suspected Graves disease (eg, extrathyroidal manifestations of Graves disease: endocrine exophthalmos, pretibial myxedema, thyroid acropachy) but normal thyroid function tests
-Determining the risk of neonatal thyrotoxicosis in a fetus of a pregnant female with active or past Graves disease
-Differential diagnosis of gestational thyrotoxicosis versus first trimester manifestation or recurrence of Graves disease
-Assessing the risk of Graves disease relapse after anti-thyroid drug treatment
A combination of TSI / Thyroid-Stimulating Immunoglobulin (TSI), Serum and THYRO / Thyrotropin Receptor Antibody, Serum is useful as an adjunct in the diagnosis of unusual cases of hypothyroidism (eg, Hashitoxicosis).
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The sensitivity and specificity of an elevated thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI) index for Graves disease diagnosis depends on whether patients have clinically active, untreated disease or disease treated with antithyroid drugs. Using a TSI index of 1.3 as the cutoff level in newly diagnosed, untreated patients, the sensitivity and specificity are >90%. For a higher cutoff of 1.8, specificity approaches 100%, but sensitivity decreases somewhat. In patients with inactive or treated Graves disease the specificity is similar, while sensitivity is lower, ranging from 50% to 80%.
Significant neonatal thyrotoxicosis is likely if a pregnant woman with a history of Graves disease has a TSI index of >3.9 during the last trimester, regardless of her remission status. Lesser elevations are only occasionally associated with neonatal thyrotoxicosis. This is particularly relevant for women who have previously undergone thyroid-ablative therapy or are on active antithyroid drug treatment and, therefore, no longer display biochemical or clinical evidence of thyrotoxicosis.
Gestational thyrotoxicosis, which is believed to be due to a combination of human chorionic gonadotropin cross-reactivity on the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) and transient changes in thyroid hormone protein binding, is not associated with an elevated TSI index. Finding an elevated TSI index in this setting suggests underlying Graves disease.
An elevated TSI index at the conclusion of a course of anti-thyroid drug treatment is highly predictive of relapse of Graves disease. However, the converse, a normal TSI index, is not predictive of prolonged remission.
In patients with thyroid function tests that fluctuate between hypo- and hyperthyroidism or vice versa, a clearly elevated TSHR-antibody level (>25%) and a simultaneous TSI index that is normal or only minimally elevated (1.3-1.8) suggest a diagnosis of possible Hashitoxicosis.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Positive results are strongly indicative of Graves disease, but do not always correlate with the presence and severity of hyperthyroidism.
Patients with Hashimoto's disease may have an elevated thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI) index, which can be >1.8. A TSI index of >1.3 and < or =1.8 also is occasionally observed in various other thyroid disorders, including nodular goiter, and subacute thyroiditis.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
< or =1.3 TSI index
Reference values apply to all ages.

Bereavement Services - You Said We Did
"The sound system at Lodge Hill was inadequate for people to hear"
"The vicar could have done with some sort of microphone in situ as some people had difficulty hearing the service. The committal could have done with less noise at coffin descending, overall a lovely service and well organised"
Following a number of comments raised in relation to the sound system in the chapel at Lodge Hill Crematorium a new sound system has now been installed including external speakers.
"When you exit the crematorium at Lodge Hill you go to a paved area which is dull and lifeless"
Floral displays are located in the floral tribute area and throughout the immediate vicinity more colour and interest to the area.
"Whilst walking around Handsworth Cemetery I noticed a WW2 garden, it seemed a pity for the gates etc to appear worn / neglected, worth a revamp and maybe put in some seats. Also on allotment side there seems to be a build up of litter"
Employees at Handsworth Cemetery have regenerated the WW2 garden and regularly clear the litter.
"There is not enough room for the display of floral tributes after the service and insufficient hymn books at Sutton Coldfield Crematorium"

Gallery: Barcelona Introduces LED Streetlights That Cut Energy Costs by...
If it weren't already the case that no other city can hold a candle to Barcelona, it is now: the European city has begun using wireless LED street lamps — made by Spanish energy giant Endesa — that run on timers and motion detectors. LEDs aren't cheap, but a new study from the University of Pittsburgh found that they offer the best green alternative for cities in a lifecycle analysis. Barcelona expects to see its municipal power bill decline by a third just from the timed LED lights.
Streetlights are low-hanging fruit, environmentally speaking. Their design tends to be clunky and they account for a massive chunk of city power bills, even though much of the time their light falls on empty streets. Design improvements and energy savers like motion detectors will also reduce the amount of light that beams skyward, which biologists increasingly say disrupts nocturnal wildlife. Like other fixtures designed to reduce light pollution, the Barcelona street lamps aim their light downward.
One more reason to visit.

In fact more and more towns are installing LED street lighting. There are several obvious reasons: Up to 50% energy savings vs. HPS and metal halide lamps, which allows them to pay back for the installation cost of the LED street lights in just months. And from that moment the savings obtained with the LED street lights are huge, not only in energy consumption but also in lower maintenance cost and replacements. Furthermore, the LED Lights have a much longer working life.

Welcome back to 31 Days to Building a Cleaning Routine! If you have missed any days, yesterday I summed up what I've talked about so far.
Day 8: Minimalist Furniture Polish
I have never really liked to dust, but I LOVED using this cleaner recipe! My wood furniture came out so shiny!! Seeing amazing results just made me want to keep polishing and polishing.
Minimalist Furniture Polish
– 1/4 cup lemon juice (or vinegar)
– 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
I used the lemon juice and the furniture polish smelled fantastic!! Look at the difference:
I also love the simplicity of this recipe. I found that keeping a spoon, or something in the solution to stir it with helped to keep the oil mixed in with the lemon juice.
Then, just dip a soft cloth in the solution and start polishing!!
What do you polish with?
I'll see you tomorrow!! Don't forget, I have the Take it on Tuesday blog hop going live at 6am tomorrow morning. Feel free to link up any of your projects.

Meaning & Origins
Pet form of any of the various names beginning with the letter K- (compare Dee and Jay), most notably Katherine and its many variants. It is also used independently. As a boy's name it may in part make reference to the name of the Arthurian knight Sir Kay, although he is not a particularly attractive character. His name is probably a Celticized form of Latin Gaius, an ancient Roman personal name of uncertain derivation. As a girl's name it was famous as that of the actress Kay Kendall (1926–59, original name Justine McCarthy).

Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario Brothers 3...those are my fav. 2
Friday the 13th.
You guys remember Base Wars? That game and Final fight were some of my favorites
Tecmo Super Bowl was the best, I could play that game all day long. Rod Woodson was so freakin fast on that game, that one time on a kickoff, i ran down with him and tackled the dude before he got out of the endzone for a safety, lol.
How could no one mention Mortal Kombat? Mortal Kombat 3 was the ****. The Super Mario games were great as well. If it is N64 games we're talking, Goldeneye is the greatest game ever. Too bad Microsoft couldn't get the deal done to bring that to the Arcade
Super Mario Bros. 3
Legend of Zelda
Super Mario Bros.
I loved Tecmo Bowl. My friends and I used to have drunken TB tournaments. What a blast. I still have TB SB3 for Super Nintendo. My son and I play it occasionally.

It's been proven that the only folks to hate spring have serious allergies. Thank goodness mine are mild.
I love traveling too. I spent a week in Vegas at Kevin Hogan's Influence Bootcamp, learning a lot but not having much fun, except that the learning part was a lot like fun. I don't gamble, not at all, so most of the Vegas hoopla is lost on me. When I was not learning I was mostly staring out my window at the mountains, wondering about life and love and people, same as I do here. I still got up with the rooster. Apparently, to do more staring. The people there were unexpectedly awesome, but that's not enough to drag me from a few hours of quiet and solitude over more socializing. Typically.
What I almost missed were the dogwoods blossoming! Quel scandal! Which got me thinking of a great question:
Do you prefer city travel or nature travel?
I'm going to share with you three secrets I learned in Kevin Hogan's Influence Boot Camp in Las Vegas last week!
I hope I don't get caught!
Secret #1: Use the word "secret"
Secret #2: Use video. (see photo link below!)
**Good writing is about as useful as good toilet paper in this new age–it's great if you've got it, but soooo not necessary.**
Secret #3: Ask questions, people feel by nature compelled to reply to them. Do you feel compelled now to reply to mine?
Bonus Secret #4: Use bonuses. That is, in order to drive traffic to your website, where it is expected that you have something to sell or promote. Oops. Looks like I'll be hitting boot camp again next year. If you want more secrets I guess I'll see ya there!

Flood Fighting: How to Use Sandbags
The use of sandbags is a simple, but effective way to prevent or reduce flood water damage. Properly filled and placed sandbags can act as a barrier to divert moving water around, instead of through, buildings. Sandbag construction does not guarantee a water-tight seal, but is satisfactory for use in most situations. Sandbags are also used successfully to prevent overtopping of streams with levees, and for training current flows to specific areas.
Untied sandbags are recommended for most situations. Tied sandbags should be used only for special situations when pre-filling and stockpiling may be required, or for specific purposes such as filling holes, holding objects in position, or to form barriers backed by supportive planks. Tied sandbags are generally easier to handle and stockpile. However, sandbag filling operations can generally be best accomplished at or near the placement site, and tying of the bags would be a waste of valuable time and effort. If the bags are to be pre-filled at a distant location, due consideration must be given to transportation vehicles and placement site access.
The most commonly used bags are untreated burlap sacks available at feed or hardware stores. Empty bags can be stockpiled for emergency use, and will be serviceable for several years, if properly stored. Filled bags of earth material will deteriorate quickly.
Commercial plastic sandbags, made from polypropylene, are also available from most bag suppliers. These will store for a long time with minimum care, but are not biodegradable. Thus, they have to be disposed of, or will remain around for a long time. Do not use garbage bags, as they are too slick to stack. Do not use feed sacks, as they are too large to handle. Use bags about 14-18" wide, and 30-36" deep.
A heavy bodied or sandy soil is most desirable for filling sandbags, but any usable material at or near the site has definite advantages. Coarse sand could leak out through the weave in the bag. To prevent this, double bag the material. Gravelly or rocky soils are generally poor choices because of their permeability.
Sandbag barriers can easily be constructed by two people, as most individuals have the physical capability to carry or drag a sandbag weighing approximately 30 pounds.
The shoveler should carefully release the rounded shovel full of soil into the throat of the bag. Haste in this operation can result in undue spillage and added work. The use of safety goggles and gloves is desirable, and sometimes necessary.
Bags should be filled between one-third (1/3) to one-half (1/2) of their capacity. This keeps the bag from getting too heavy, and permits the bags to be stacked with a good seal.
For large scale operations, filling sandbags can be expedited by using bag-holding racks, metal funnels, and power loading equipment. However, the special equipment required is not always available during an emergency.
Remove any debris from the area where the bags are to be placed.
Fold the open end of the unfilled portion of the bag to form a triangle. If tied bags are used, flatten or flare the tied end.
Place the partially filled bags lengthwise and parallel to the direction of flow, with the open end facing against the water flow. Tuck the flaps under, keeping the unfilled portion under the weight of the sack.
Stagger the joint connections when multiple layers are necessary. For unsupported layers over three (3) courses high, use the pyramid placement method.
The pyramid placement is used to increase the height of sandbag protection.
Place the sandbags to form a pyramid by alternating header courses (bags placed crosswise) and stretcher courses (bags placed lengthwise).
A boil is a condition where water is flowing through or under an earth structure (such as a levee) that is retaining water. Free flowing water wants to move to lower elevations. If a levee is stopping floodwaters, the water may be able to find weak points to enter. This action is called "piping". If the water finds a large enough path, the flow will become visible, and is a serious threat to the integrity of the levee. Most boils occur in sand, silt, or some combination.
A boil is found on the landward side of the levee, or in the ground past the levee toe (the exact distance varies with local conditions). Possible boil sites can be identified by free standing or flowing water (other than culverts, pumps, etc). A boil can be found only by close inspection. A prime indicator is water bubbling (or "boiling"), much like a natural spring. Another is obvious water movement in what appears to be standing water.
Carefully examine the water for movement. Boils will have an obvious exit (such as a rodent hole), but the water may be cloudy from siltation, or the hole very small. If there is any movement in the water, carefully approach the site, disturbing the water as little as possible. Let the water settle, and look at the suspected site. If you see the hole, examine it carefully. If the water flow is clear, there are no problems as yet. If there is no distinct hole, the water flow is not a threat. Monitor the site regularly for changes, and take no other actions.
A dirty water flow indicates that the soil is being eroded by the water, and that could mean failure of the levee. A boil ring is the best solution. The idea is to reduce the water flow until the water is flowing clear, but not to stop the water flow. This acts as a relief valve for the water pressure; the water continues to flow, but is not eroding the material. If the water flow is stopped, the pressure will remain, and another boil will form.
Ring the boil with sandbags, with the first bags back 1-2 feet from the boil. More, if the soil is unstable. Build the first layer in a circle, 2-4 bags across, and then build up, bringing each layer in. If possible, keep the interior face straight. Build the ring wall with the means for water to flow out, leaving a gap in the wall, or using pipes. Adjust the flows until the water slows, and becomes clear. Monitor the ring wall constantly. Raise or lower the height of the wall as necessary, maintaining a slow, clear flow. The height should be only enough to create enough head to slow flow so that no more material is displaced, and the water runs clear.
NOTES: Do not sack a boil which does not put out material. The entire base should be cleared of debris and scarified. Tie into the levee if the boil is near a toe. Use loose earth between all of the sacks. All joints must be staggered. Be sure to clear the sand discharge. Never attempt to completly stop the flow through a boil.
Corps of Engineers Sandbag Policy:
Local governments, flood control districts, and other government agencies, are responsible for maintaining a supply of sandbags adequate to cover anticipated emergencies. The Walla Walla District maintains a limited sandbag stockpile to augment local jurisdictions during actual flood emergencies. The Corps will issue only to agencies or governments. Individual citizens requesting sandbags will be directed to their local government. At the discretion of the District Commander, a portion of the District's stockpile may be loaned to meet a specific local flood emergency. Unused stocks must be returned to Walla Walla District as soon as the emergency is over. Consumed stocks must be replaced in kind, or paid for by the local interests, unless the District Commander has declared a flood emergency for that locality, in which case no reimbursement is necessary. To request sandbags, contact the Walla Walla District Emergency Operations Center at 509-527-7146.

Not for people with butts or long torsos
I thought maybe this cut would be different from Nike's Splash cut, but to no avail. If you have a normal torso and no rear, then this suit will work for you. I am a triathlete, 5'9" and 145lbs. My rear did not fit in this, I felt exposed and the suit was too short for my long torso. Very disappointing because I loved the bright print and wanted something new to train in for swimming. Maybe one day Nike will make fashionable long torso suits for us taller gals.

Suicide? We all knew this team sucked from day one! Re-name this thread: "The official point and laugh at these losers thread."
Yes, you are alone. It's a game. Grow up.
Not worth it for any team or sport, this is just one of many losses to come nothing big.

What about the latest emails that were perhaps permanently lost by GMail?
I've been backing up mine to another email account since the beginning but it's not the same thing as having them in my regular GMail account.
With Thunderbird (never liked the Bat, especially for lack of support) i suppose you can bring them all back (if your backup account allows free access, in my case Yahoo). Thus, it is still a handy option to upkeep.

And now his fires have gone out.
Now that I've had time to collect my thoughts on Jesus Camp, I guess it's time I regurgitate them here as I have a lot of them.
I was as stunned as any of you who have seen it were immediately after watching it. I never knew there was a borderline boot camp for militant neo-puritanism. But at the same time, I was very saddened. This movie was somewhat of a flashback for me and probably was for a lot of other people too. Although it wasn't as bat**** insane as these people were, I was raised in a very similar environment. I used to do a number of the things you see those kids doing in that film. Pledging allegiance to the Christian flag and the bible in my little Christian school in Hobe Sound, FL., being force-fed the far-right's incessant and creepy infatuation with Israel (I noticed the kids holding an Israeli flag during their pledges), being taught that the earth is only 6,000 years old. Going back to Hobe Sound (as I did twice in the last year) as an adult now is pretty amazing. It's like going back to the 50s. But I also remember saving up all my money so I could buy the Pokemon Red Version for my GameBoy and loving every minute of playing it with my cousin who also had it, but then having my mother constantly breathing down my neck and taking it away from me as punishment when I acted out in even the slightest fashion mainly because she was afraid that the Pokemon were somehow "satanic" according to some email forwards. I remember being around kids like that little rat-tailed kid throughout my childhood and teenage years and then having one of my best friends morph into a carbon-copy of that kid right before HS seemingly overnight.
But the saddest part of that whole documentary, was the two little 9-10 year old girls. ****ing adorable, but man. Just wow. I wonder how they are now 5 years later.
Now the best part, was the Ted Haggard bit. Living out here right in the belly of this beast while that whole scandal erupted was the thing legends are made of. I was forced to go to New Life several times while that guy was still there and just thinking that something was a little "off" about him. Not to mention all the self-righteous "New Lifers" I had to endure at school and all over town. When we heard about that scandal, we were in the locker room right before football practice (at a Christian school mind you). Laughing, giggling, cracking jokes about hiring a few ripped dudes to come down and massage our weiners after practice. And then the biggest, most overt "New Life Insider" comes down into the room with this despondent look on his face and it gets silent and we're like, "Oh. Hey man. Heard anything new?"
The major death scene in "Ghost Ship" was pretty mesmerizing to me.
Two more come to mind to me because they could really happen and they were both freaky eerie.
The Strangers and The Last House On The Left.
Another one that's bizarre is 'Funny Games'
Cannibal Holocaust (a 70's film. My uncle had the VHS tape and I saw it when I was like 13 years old..... it was basically the father of all fake "handheld shaky camera documentary goes wrong" films)
Requiem for a Dream
The Exorcist (again, my uncle had the VHS tape lol)
cant think of any more right now.
