Test ID: CL
Chloride, Serum
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluation of water, electrolyte, and acid-base status
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Chloride (Cl) is the major anion in the extracelullar water space; its physiological significance is in maintaining proper body water distribution, osmotic pressure, and normal anion-cation balance in the extracellular fluid compartment.
Chloride is increased in dehydration, renal tubular acidosis (hyperchloremia metabolic acidosis), acute renal failure, metabolic acidosis associated with prolonged diarrhea and loss of sodium bicarbonate, diabetes insipidus, adrenocortical hyperfuction, salicylate intoxication and with excessive infusion of isotonic saline or extremely high dietary intake of salt. Hyperchloremia acidosis may be a sign of severe renal tubular pathology.
Chloride is decreased in overhydration, chronic respiratory acidosis, salt-losing nephritis, metabolic alkalosis, congestive heart failure, Addisonian crisis, certain types of metabolic acidosis, persistent gastric secretion and prolonged vomiting, aldosteronism, bromide intoxication, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion, and conditions associated with expansion of extracellular fluid volume.
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.
1-17 years: 102-112 mmol/L
> or =18 years: 98-107 mmol/L
Reference values have not been established for patients who are <12 months of age.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
In normal individuals, serum chloride values vary little during the day, although there is a slight decrease after meals due to the diversion of chloride to the production of gastric juice.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
High serum values of other halide ions may lead to falsely-high readings on the chloride ion-selective electrode.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Sunday, April 04, 2004CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (April 3, 2004) - The East Tennessee State women's tennis team battled to a 4-3 victory against the College of Charleston Cougars on Sunday. The Buccaneers improved to 13-9 overall, 4-3 in the Southern Conference with the win, while the Cougars fall to 14-7, 7-2. "It's always good to beat last year's conference champion and we need to enjoy the victory" stated head coach Steve Brooks. "Almost every match that we played today was tight." ETSU started the match in the right direction by securing the doubles point. At the No. 1 slot Buccaneers Sylwia Ziolkowska (Warsaw, Poland) and Mariya Ilyina (Kyiv, Ukraine) won 8-3 over Maxine Capewell and Gabriella Moreira. Jessica Irey (Clewiston, Fla.) and Gemma Halim (Jakarta, Indonesia) then beat Lauren Stewart and Rachel Magory 9-8 at No. 2 for the point. In the No. 3 position, Courtney McInnis (Waterboro, Maine) and Jewel Aldea (Charleston, S.C.) fought Whitney Malina and Ashley Willis but fell 8-4. In singles action, the Cougars came out strong winning two points from Stewart at No. 6 (6-0, 6-1) and Magory at No. 1 (6-3, 6-4). ETSU senior Irey then tied up the score two all with her win at the No. 4 slot over Capewell (6-3, 7-6 (4)). The scales then teetered in the direction of the College of Charleston as Moreira defeated ETSU's Ziolkowska in the No. 2 position (6-1, 2-6, 6-4). Fortunately for the Bucs, junior Halim pulled out a victory at the No. 3 slot in a close 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (2) decision. With the team totals tied at 3-3, all eyes turned to the No. 5 slot where Ilyina was battling Andreea Niculescu. Both fought hard, but in the end Ilyina emerged victorious for the Bucs, 5-7, 7-5, 6-4.

The state transportation funding plan that passed the Virginia General Assembly Saturday will lead to the investment of tens of millions of dollars in roads and transit in Fairfax County in the coming years.
The slate of new taxes and fees in Northern Virginia will directly provide the county about $47 million per year, according to preliminary county staff estimates, plus the county will benefit from new regional and state funding.
"From an economic perspective, I think this bill is going to be a tremendous benefit to the commonwealth, especially Northern Virginia," said Robert Cox, chair of the construction group in the Tysons Corner offices of law firm Williams Mullen.
The spending on new construction will provide a much-needed shot in the arm for the construction industry, which has seen flat or declining revenues, he said.
"The states are the ones that invest in and pay for these projects, and the states just don't have the money," Cox said.
Like the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act did several years ago, the new spending will not only help those companies but the also materials suppliers, electricians and others that construction companies buy things from.
In addition to the money going directly to localities, 70 percent of the money raised from new local taxes and fees will support regional projects under the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority.
Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Sharon Bulova (D-At large) held up a copy of NVTA's TransAction 2040 plan at Tuesday's Board of Supervisors meeting as she spoke about the state transportation bill.
"I remember when we started working on this last year that there were some folks who were a little bit cynical … because there was no money to make the plan happen," Bulova said.
Now, the NVTA will be getting hundreds of millions of dollars a year to invest in its prioritized list of regional projects.
The bill also included $300 million in additional state funding for the Silver Line construction, which is anticipated to help keep down tolls on the Dulles Toll Road. Much of the Silver Line is being paid for with bonds backed by future toll revenues.
Local funding sources include a higher sales tax, a 3 percent increase in the local hotel tax and a grantor's tax of 25 cents per $100 of value. The grantor's tax is paid as part of selling a home.
With the 0.7 percent local sales tax increase and the 0.3 percent statewide sales tax increase, the sales tax in Northern Virginia will increase to 6 percent, with the extra 1 percent being dedicated to transportation.
The other major element of the statewide funding package, expected to generate $880 million per year by 2018, include replacing the 17.5 cents-per-gallon fuel tax with a 3.5 percent wholesale gas tax and a 6 percent wholesale tax on diesel fuel.
Other funding will come from a $100 annual registration fee for alternative fuel vehicles and an increase in the vehicle sales tax from 3 percent to 4.3 percent.
The General Assembly has been struggling for more than a decade to resolve the state's transportation funding challenges. House of Delegates Speaker William Howell (R-Dist. 28) called the passage a "truly historic moment."
"For several decades now transportation loomed as an issue that seemingly could not be solved," Gov. Robert McDonnell said in a statement following the bill passage. "Lines were drawn and debates droned on as motorists sat in traffic. Today we have shown a path forward, a path past the old political arguments and endless posturing that threatens the economic prosperity and competitiveness of our state and nation."
McDonnell had advocated eliminating the gas tax in favor of a higher sales tax, a concept that won support in the House, but state senators instead wanted to reform the gas tax. Legislators ultimately compromised and did both.
"Make no mistake — this is a compromise piece of legislation. Neither Republicans nor Democrats achieved exactly the kind of solution that they wanted," Howell said in a released statement. "But this moment shows why Virginia is so fundamentally different from the rest of the country: in a time of crisis and need, we came together and worked in a bipartisan fashion to find a solution. We did not stick our heads in the sand. We did not duck the tough decisions."
Anti-tax groups brought a last-minute lobbying push to fight the transportation bill due to its reliance on new taxes. Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, the Republican nominee for this year's race for governor, was among those opposing the bill that was agreed to in a House-Senate conference committee.
"I have always believed—and continue to believe—that raising taxes should be the last resort in public policy," Oak Hill Del. Jim LeMunyon (R-Dist. 67) said in a letter to constituents explaining his support for the bill. "I take no joy in telling you that with respect to transportation funding, we are at the last resort. But I believe enacting this imperfect legislation is better than any alternative to address Northern Virginia's transportation problems."

Articular cartilage cushions the femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone) where they meet in the knee, allowing them to move freely and easily. Chondromalacia patella is a softening or wearing away of the articular cartilage on the undersurface of the patella (kneecap).
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Chondromalacia patella is caused by repetitive motion and misalignment of the kneecap.
This can occur due to:
Chondromalacia patella is more common in adolescence and young adulthood. Other factors that increase your risk of chondromalacia patella include:
Symptoms may include
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your knee may need to be viewed. This can be done with:
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Options include:
Your knee will need time to heal. Avoid activities that place extra stress on your knee:
Apply an ice or a cold pack to the area for 15-20 minutes, four times a day, for several days after the injury. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel.
To manage pain, your doctor may advise:
Compression can help prevent more swelling. Your doctor may advise an elastic compression bandage around your knee. Be careful not to wrap the bandage too tight.
After treatment, you may need an elastic knee sleeve with the kneecap cut out to help support the knee joint.
Elevation can also help keep swelling down. Keep your knee higher than your heart as much as possible.
You may be referred to a physical therapist. You will be taught exercises to help reduce discomfort and to strengthen the muscles in your leg.
In most cases, surgery is not needed. But for some patients who have continued pain, surgery may performed. Surgical procedures include the following:

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - With the Baltimore Orioles nipping at New York's heels, the Yankees got Andy Pettitte back at just the right time.
Thrust into the thick of the AL East race, the sorely missed 40-year-old Pettitte threw 75 pitches and spun five scoreless frames in his return from the disabled list and New York downed the Toronto Blue Jays, 4-2, in the first game of a doubleheader.
Pettitte (4-3), who fanned three, scattered four hits and walked two, hasn't pitched since June 27 when he was hit with a line drive and suffered a fractured left ankle in a game against the Cleveland Indians. He was slated to start Tuesday, but the contest was postponed because of rain.
"He got some double plays, pitched out of some jams," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said of Pettitte's performance. "He did a really good job."
New York's shaky rotation, which is 11-13 with a 4.24 ERA over the last four weeks coming in, got a boost with the return of Pettitte. Ivan Nova returned from the disabled list with rotator-cuff inflammation on Saturday.
"There's a lot of experience there," Girardi said of Pettitte. "He knows how to get it done."
Ichiro Suzuki tallied his fourth three-hit game as a Yankee and made a game- saving sliding catch in the eighth inning to preserve a one-run lead for New York, which sits a half-game ahead of Baltimore in the division.
Toronto cut a 3-0 deficit to 3-2 in the frame, and had men on second and third with two outs, but David Robertson and Rafael Soriano helped the Yankees walk away from the inning with the lead still intact.
Robertson struck out Adeiny Hechavarria and Soriano came on and walked Anthony Gose to load the bases, but Rajai Davis lined a bullet to left field. Suzuki bobbled the ball and let it run up his wrist, but managed to hold onto it to end the frame.
Nick Swisher slapped a two-out RBI single to left field in the home half and Soriano fired a 1-2-3 ninth to notch his 41st save of the season.
Henderson Alvarez (9-13) struck out seven, but allowed three runs on five hits for Toronto, which has dropped five of its last seven contests.
The Yanks staked Pettitte an early lead with a three-run first.
Consecutive singles to start the frame by Suzuki and Swisher preceded Robinson Cano's double over the head of Colby Rasmus in center field, which plated Suzuki. Swisher scored on Alex Rodriguez's groundout to first base and Curtis Granderson lifted a sacrifice fly to center field, which pushed across Cano.
The Blue Jays had runners on the corners with two away in both the second and fourth innings, but Pettitte escaped both innings by inducing groundouts to Anthony Gose.
Kelly Johnson had an RBI single and Omar Vizuel hit a run-scoring double down the right-field line in the eighth to make it a 3-2 game.
Cano tallied his 328th career double as a Yankee, which moved him to third on
the all-time Yankees doubles list ... New York was 2-for-3 with runners in
scoring position, while the Yankees finished 3-for-13

Summers Taylor Lights
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 10, 2010) -
With the
ETSU women's soccer season already in progress, and the men's soccer season set to get underway in less than a week, lights are being installed at Summers-Taylor Stadium to allow for night games for the first time at ETSU.
"This is an exciting step in the development of our soccer complex," said ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics
Dave Mullins
. "I think this will be an exciting improvement for our fans and will allow for us to have better crowds at night than we did with afternoon games.

A St. Mary's convicted sex offender accused of failing to report to police after an arrest earlier this month was taken into custody again Tuesday afternoon, court papers state, during a scuffle with police outside a courtroom.
Shane A. Corcoran, 25, of Bushwood eventually was shocked and subdued with a Taser, court papers state, and he was jailed on charges of a sex-offender registry violation, resisting arrest and committing a second-degree assault on sheriff's detective Cpl. William Raddatz.
Charging papers allege that Corcoran pushed the detective into a chair during a confrontation in a small conference room outside the district court courtroom, and struck him multiple times in the face and head. The first jolt from deputy Matthew Rogers' Taser "was not effective" in subduing Corcoran, court papers state, and the two lawmen fought with the suspect to take him to the floor, before the stun gun was used again.
Raddatz also was punched during a Dec. 13 visit to Corcoran's home, police report, resulting in Corcoran's arrest on charges of second-degree assault, resisting arrest and failing to report a change of his address on the sex-offender registry. That arrest was followed by a charge that Corcoran had violated his probation from guilty pleas in 2010 to physically abusing and committing a fourth-degree sexual offense with a preteen girl, online court records state. Charging papers indicate that Raddatz was attempting to arrest Corcoran this week for not reporting that he had been charged with the probation violation.
Raddatz returned to work on Wednesday morning.

The option bonus is not moot until Fiedler is cut or the deal is redone. An option amount, whether a prorated amount or the total, is included in team salary until renounced.Originally posted by clumpedplatelet
If you don't pay it, then bonus money that was amortized into 2006 would accelerated into either just 2004 or both 2004 & 2005. Either way, his cap number will increase by not paying the bonus
This is all moot because it looks like Fiedler will be getting a new deal that eliminates this bonus
The cap number will not go up if the option is not paid. It goes up if the option is renounced, then the 2006 signing bonus portion is accelerated. If the option is not exercised (paid) or renounced it stays in team salary for the year. The next year a credit is taken for the amount carried the previous year.

I've built a new Windows Phone App that lets you compare 2 Windows Phone devices with all available specs right next to each other to see which is the best. You can also just check the specifications of one of the available windows phones at this moment when you are in a heated argument with friends or colleagues again where you are not sure if that phone had a 1.4GHZ processor or a 1.5 GHZ processor.
My new app is called PhoneCompare and is available in all Windows Phone Marketplaces for 99 cents. you can also install a free trial that has 100% of the functionality but shows ads.
PhoneCompare has the following features:
- List all available Windows Phones
- Check specifications for a single phone to see its screen size, dimensions, weight, processor, storage, memory, battery and camera.
- Select 2 phones to compare all these specs next to each other
- Check the specs of your current phone
- Browse phones by brand
- View a list of new phones that are just released or are about to get released
My plans for the future are to also make it possible to rate phones so you can see which phones are rated the highest and I also want to store most used phones by visitors of the app. All this in version 1.1
If you have any feedback on this app please let me know by a comment on this post, by sending me a tweet @geertvdc or by rating or using the in app mail function

I'd like to help you out there, however, its a headache to say the least, buy a 30A spoolgun and WC-24 controller for it.

With 3/64" (1.2MM) wire you are going to have a very hard time trying to weld 2.0mm material(0.078"). Aluminum is recommended to run in a spray transfer and with that thin on material and the wire size you have are going to have to have a very fast travel speed just to prevent burning thru, if you can even do it consistantly. The optima controller will make this alot easier, but then you still have the potential issues of feedability of the wire thru a standard Mig gun (like Cruizer stated).
For your future Aluminum referance there is a very informative booklet on welding aluminum at the MAXAL website, under the resources tab.
This will also give you some starting points for various material thicknesses with different wire sizes.

Thanks about the maxal information.the transition table is very clear,but I am not sure if the thinner wire will not introduce feed ability problems?Nonetheless I am going to experiment with the small diameter wires.I am gone!

Should you have any questions about Piaget luxury watches, please call us at +44 800 279 51 10 or Email the concierge .
Part of the Black Tie collection that continues Piaget's watchmaking heritage, the Rectangle à l'Ancienne watch is inspired by a model from 1993. This model beats to the rhythm of the 561P self-winding movement that displays the retrograde second, power reserve and date in a large aperture. In its jewellery version, the pink-gold watch is set with diamonds on the dial and case. The stones perfectly embrace the curves and rounded angles, a considerable challenge for the gem-setters. Adorned in this fashion, the Rectangle à l'Ancienne will sparkle in the evening on both ladies' and men's wrists.
561P movement
The 561P self-winding mechanical movement is a variation of the 500P movement. It stands out from the crowd because of the addition of retrograde seconds at 12 o'clock (a Fine Watchmaking small complication) and its aperture for a large date display at 6 o'clock. The retrograde second function, appearing at 12 o'clock on the movement, shifts back to zero every 30 seconds. A power-reserve indicator is featured at 6 o'clock. The circular Côtes de Genève, the circular-grained mainplate, the bevelled bridges and the blued screws round off this exceptional movement, recalling the aesthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watchmaking brand.

Free With Purchase: Skullcandy Mountain Passport Filled With Free Lift Passes and magazine subscriptions

This hydration pack is made of heavy duty ballistic nylon. This fabric made its first appearance during WWII. The idea was to develop an industrial strength nylon material that would provide additional protection for troops serving in combat areas. The task was taken by DuPont, which tried several weaves and formulas before coming up with a durable nylon that could be used to create flak jackets worn by a number of United States airmen. The main purpose of these stronger jackets was to deflect shrapnel and other types of debris that resulted from gunfire and artillery explosions. Given the indented purpose for the nylon product, the material was dubbed ballistic nylon, with emphasis given to the ability of the material to repel a number of materials. We felt that this fabric was perfect for our RIGS as we wanted to have hydration packs in our line-up that could take heavy abuse delivered by hard core outdoor enthusiasts and motor sports enthusiasts. To see a ballistic nylon packs thrown multiple times from a vehicle onto hard asphalt at 100mph click on the video links.

Mulches, Compost, & Soils
|Actively Aerated Compost Tea and Mycorrhizae
Acitvely Aerated Compost Tea and Mycorrhizae provide life to your soil. Soil that has had excessive use of chemical fertilizers, fungicides, pesticides, and herbicides will benefit from applications of AACT. Over use of chemicals reduces life in the soil, as the soil life dies back the soil begins to compact making it harder for water and air to get into the soil and root zone. Adding life to the soil and applying a layer of mulch to the soil will greatly benefit your plants and over time the soil food web will be established. The soil food web will feed your plants and you will feed the soil food web.
The term "mulch" describes a general category of materials used to cover the surface of bare soil around plants. The function of mulch, and the recommended depth of coverage is:
1) To help the soil moisture, (1"-4")
2) To help keep weeds from reaching sunlight and grow further, (3"-6")
3) For aesthetic value, (usually 1"-2")
4) Assisting in erosion prevention, (3"-5")
5) Adding organic matter to the soil over time through the process of decompostion, (the more depth the better, typically 3"-6")
Mulch types range from wood chips or bark, to gravel. Some homeowners and landscape professionals will also lay down water permeable Landscape Fabric underneath the mulch layer to assist in preventing weeds from coming up.
|Top Soil & Soil Mixes
Top Soil and our soil mixes have many different uses. We recommend that you work with the soil you have. It is usually a bad idea to remove your existing soil and replace it with another soil. There may be times however, when you need to fill in an area, build a mound, or a raised bed and you need to bring in soil. We have top soil and soil mixes that can be used for all your projects.
|Incorporating compost into the soil improves and maintains the soil structure encouraging healthy root growth. Compost immediately improves aeration and drainage of clay soils. In sandy soils compost helps the soil to hold moisture and nutrients. Apply 2 inches to 3 inches of compost and mix it into the soil.

Using patented fabric developed for NASA to help keep astronauts cool in space, this is the pillow that provides a comfortably cool sleeping surface. Millions of invisible microcapsules inside the pillow shell absorb excess heat and move the warmth away from the head and neck until the pillow eventually reaches the ambient temperature. As you shift positions naturally while you sleep, the vacated area of the pillow recovers its cooling properties. The patented fabric covers both sides of the pillow and it is filled with a spiral-crimped polyester that has a loose, thread-like texture for long-lasting loft. The 100% cotton cover is hypoallergenic, removable, and washable.

I purchased this as a gift. I purchased the firm pillow, and it turns out it was too firm. We exchanged it for the medium firm pillow, which is much better. Unless you like very firm pillows, go for the medium firm one. It really keeps your head and body cool.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This pillow is the best pillow ever!! It is everything as advertised
excellent product

Used for sleeping and to replace old pillows.

I've been in love with quality goose down pillows for years. But they are just not practical for Summer conditions in Phoenix, Arizona. Tried to find other solutions but had pretty much decided that nothing out there would be acceptable. Saw the Cooling Pillow and decided to give it a shot. I've been so pleased that I actually purchased another set for when we travel.
good nights sleep on a cool pillow!
By kjd

Delivery service is fantastic, here much sooner then anticipated. this is the second pillow I have purchased the first is in the camping trailer, this one is for home. I love how you are able to turn the pillow over and the cooling material is on the other side. It is not going to keep your head cool all night, your head does eventually warm the pillow, but it can be flipped over.
I love this pillow
By Clovis
from Clovis Ca
This pillow was advertised as being a cooling pillow that adjust from warm to cool. I live in Clovis California where it can be very hot. I have found this pillow is everything that it said it was. The pillow is cool to touch and very refreshing. I've recommended this pillow to several of my friends
Not Cool
By Frank
from Illinois
My wife is very picky about her pillows. I saw and thought, "What a great pillow." I was wrong. First it is rather hot after sleeping on it, not cool. Second it sits you head up too high, making it uncomfortable.It does come with a removable pillow cover to keep the pillow clean. All I had to provide was the pillow case.It is useful at night for reading. I bought the king size firm density.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Really Cool
By Edda
from Monroe, Mi.
I had a king down pillow that was O.K. but was just too hot.My head perspired daily. The change to this pillow was nite and day. I now sleep great.No sweat.It holds its shape,smells good and is honestly the best pillow I have evar used.5 Stars.
Stays cool, but.....
By W. C.
from Georgia
Not sure how they define "Firm Density," but this pillow isn't it.
Do not recommend
By Dak
from FL
I was desperate for a pillow that feels cool since I'm hot all the time (middle-aged female in FL). However, there's basically NO support in this pillow.

Men's Basketball Falls to No. 11 Virginia, 85-62
Sunday, November 18, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. (Nov. 18, 2001) - The No. 11 Virginia Cavaliers opened the second half on a 21-9 run after a close first half and went on to defeat the East Tennessee State Buccaneers, 85-62 Sunday afternoon from University Hall in Charlottesville, Va. The Cavaliers (2-0) led 42-31 at halftime against the rugged Buccaneers. It was 53-38 after Cavalier sophomore forward J.C. Mathis scored with 15:17 to go, and 63-40 when UVA senior guard Adam Hall's two free throws finished his spurt with 12:01 remaining. "We tried to mix defenses to try to keep them off balance as best we could," Buccaneers coach Ed DeChellis said. "They're just much bigger and stronger, athletic and quick. We just couldn't keep up the pace." The Buccaneers were called for 28 fouls to Virginia's 16, and the Cavaliers had a 31-12 advantage in scoring from the line. East Tennessee State (1-1), which beat Guilford 90-61 in its opener Friday night, never got back in it as Virginia coach Pete Gillen emptied his bench, getting plenty of experience for his top four freshmen. The Bucs were led by sophomores Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.) and Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) who each scored 12 points. Freshman Tiras Wade (Tampa, Fla.) continued his stellar play with 11 points on the afternoon. UVA was led by junior forward Travis Watson, who had a double-double with 14 points and 13 rebounds. Senior guard Chris Williams notched 13 points for the Cavaliers. The Bucs return to action Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. as they face Virginia Commonwealth University from the Alltel Pavilion in Richmond, Va.

Delicious! I changed the sugar to 1/2 cup and used a whisk to mix the batter instead of a blender. They were very fluffy! The reviewers that had flat pancakes likely mixed the batter too much. You want the batter to be a little lumpy.
Pancakes are too sweet for pancakes. They seem very rubbery - not a good texture. Didn't like them at all.

Finally a pancake recipe that does not leave the after taste caused by Baking Soda! I have been searching for a good homemade pancake recipe since I gave up the box 3 weeks ago and I finally found this one. The only thing I did differently was mix it by hand instead of in the blender. It was slightly lumpy, but they went away once I poured it on the griddle and it turned out great. Even my 2-year-old who doesn't like to chew ate them...and without syrup!
I absoultely love this recipe! I is so good! My family love the pancakes! Probably the best I have ever made! Will never buy store bought mix again! I also used some almond extract for extra taste! Was good! Thanks for the great recipe!
We loved this recipie. We omitted the oil in the mix, and halved the vanilla. Was not rubbery. With my favourite topping - sprinkle of sugar and lemon juice it was just divine. Very easy to make.
I LOVE this recipe. This has got to be the best pancake recipe ever. I hate thick pancakes and these come out with what I want to call almost crepe like taste and texture (except thicker)
I make them and freeze in the freezer and they are wonderful!!
I love this recipe. I have been using it for over a year now and it always turns out great. I always add lots of extra cinnamon, use half the amount of sugar, double the recipe and use a hand mixer or whisk. I freeze the extra pancakes for my kids to eat during the week. Very good!
too sweet and too tough more like a cake than a pancake

I found this of interest because on occasions when I tried using a hotkey with a Windows shortcut, it seemed inconsistent. I gave up on it. The article explains the locations where the shortcut key will work.
It may save running a hotkey just to launch a program esp. if you can stand the shortcut being in the All Programs list. Unfortunately it seems to favor the desktop. I've cleaned all icons off my desktop and have no desire to put them back. Anyway, it may clarify some things for those frustrated with the shortcut key mechanism:

Ancient City of Bosra
Ancient City of Bosra
Bosra, once the capital of the Roman province of Arabia, was an important stopover on the ancient caravan route to Mecca. A magnificent 2nd-century Roman theatre, early Christian ruins and several mosques are found within its great walls.
Ancienne ville de Bosra
Jadis capitale de la province romaine d'Arabie et importante étape sur l'ancienne route caravanière de La Mecque, Bosra conserve, enserrées dans ses épaisses murailles, un magnifique théâtre romain du IIe siècle, des ruines paléochrétiennes et plusieurs mosquées.
مدينة بصرى القديمة
شكّلت هذه المدينة قديماً عاصمة المقاطعة الرومانية العربية ومحطة هامة في طريق القوافل القديمة الى مكة. وقد حافظت داخل أسوارها السميكة على مدرّج روماني رائع يعود الى القرن الثاني، ناهيك عن آثار من المسيحية الأولى وعدد من المساجد.

Oude stad van Bosra
Bosra was een belangrijke tussenstop op de oude pelgrims- en handelsroute naar Mekka. Het was ooit de hoofdstad van de Romeinse provincie Arabië. Binnen de grote muren van de oude stad zijn een prachtig 2e-eeuws Romeins theater, vroegchristelijke ruïnes en verschillende moskeeën te vinden. Het theater – waarschijnlijk gebouwd onder de heerschappij van Trajanus – is het enige monument van dit type, met de bovenste galerij in de vorm van een overdekte zuilengang die volledig bewaard is gebleven. Bosra telde vroeger 80.000 inwoners, vandaag de dag is het nog slechts een dorp. Maar wel een van opvallende schoonheid.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The name of Bosra occurs in the precious Tell el-Amarna tablets in Egypt, which date from the 14th century B.C. and represent royal correspondence between the Pharaohs and the Phoenician and Amorite kings. It became the northern capital of the Nabataean kingdom. In the year of 106 A.D, a new era began for Bosra when it was incorporated into the Roman Empire.
Alexander Severus gave it the title Colonian Bostra and Philip the Arab minted currency especially for it. During Byzantine times, Bosra was a major frontier market where Arab caravans came to stock up and its bishops took part in the Council of Antioch. Bosra was the first Byzantine city which the Arabs entered in 634 in the phase of Islamic expansion.
Today, Bosra is a major archaeological site, containing ruins from Roman, Byzantine, and Muslim times. Further, Nabataean and Roman monuments, Christian churches, mosques and Madrasas are present within the city.
Its main feature is the second century Roman Theatre, constructed probably under Trajan, which has been integrally preserved. It was fortified between 481 and 1251 AD. Al-Omari Mosque is one of the oldest surviving mosques in Islamic history, and the Madrasah Mabrak al-Naqua is one of the oldest and most celebrated of Islam. The Cathedral of Bosra is also a building of considerable importance in the annals of early Christian architecture.
Bosra survived about 2500 years inhabited and almost intact. The Nabataeans, Romans, Byzantines and Umayyad, all left traces in the city, which is an open museum associated with significant episodes in the history of ideas and beliefs.
Criterion (i): The incorporation of the exceptionally intact 2nd century Roman theatre, complete with its upper gallery, into later fortifications to create a strong citadel guarding the road to Damascus represents a unique architectural achievement. The remains of the 6th century basilica of the martyrs Sergios, Bacchos and Leontios, the cathedral of Bosra, represent an extremely significant example of the centrally planned churches in terms of the evolution of early church architectural forms. The Mosque of Omar, restored in 1950, is one of the rare constructions of the 1st century of the Hegira preserved in Syria. The Madrasa Jâmi' Mabrak an-Nâqua is one of the oldest and most celebrated of Islam.
Criterion (iii): Of the city which once counted 80,000 inhabitants there remain today extensive ruins of Nabataean, Roman, Byzantine and Umayyad buildings. These ruins, including the major monuments mentioned under Criterion (i) above bear exceptional testimony to the past civilizations that created them.
Criterion (vi): In Islam, Bosra is associated with a significant episode in the life of the Prophet Mohammed, who is believed to have visited Bosra twice. At the end of his first visit, it is said that Monk Baheira indicated that Muhammad was to become a prophet.
Integrity (2009)
The Ancient city of Bosra is an inhabited archaeological site whose ruins had suffered greatly in the late 19th century. However, the large amount of surviving original fabric, including monuments of the Nabataean, Roman, Byzantine and Umayyad periods gives the site a high degree of integrity. The inhabitants of the village that has grown up amongst the ruins are being resettled outside the property. There is a need to define and manage a buffer zone to protect the setting.
Authenticity (2009)
The key surviving monuments of Bosra reflect the Outstanding Universal Value of the site. However, their setting is problematic in that a modern village had grown up among the ruins. A resettlement policy of the Directorate of Antiquities and Museums (DGAM) is allowing most families to move to new houses outside the precincts of the old town. Ultimately the old town will be abandoned again, to be turned into a dead city revitalized as an open air museum.
Protection and management requirements (2009)
The property is protected under the Antiquities Law 222 as amended in 1999. There is no management plan for the site and there are problems with conservation due to community issues, lack of funds and technical resources, and a lack of skilled labour. The Directorate of Antiquities and Museums is attempting to overcome these problems with the help of national and international institutions and foreign experts.
Recently the Syrian Government instigated a Master Plan project to recognize the importance of the site and to guide future use of Bosra city. A Protection Committee was established in 2007 to guide the project.
The DGAM is preparing terms of reference for implementing GIS system in the site; this project will start during 2009 and will continue for 1 year. There is a need to protect the setting of the property through an agreed and approved buffer zone.
Long Description
Bosra is associated with important events in the history of ideas and beliefs: according to tradition its bishop took part in the Council of Antioch, while the Prophet Muhammad came there twice and, at the time of his first visit, is said to have learned the precepts of Christianity from a Nestorian monk named Bahira. The monuments built in different times make Bosra a city of extreme rarity, of universal importance and of unique aesthetic value
The old city of Bosra was the northern capital of the Nabataean kingdom of the Roman province of Arabia, referred to in the Bible, in AD 106. It was successively an important religious metropolis of the Byzantine Empire and a caravan centre, in the role of a large frontier market on the pilgrim route to Mecca.The square minarets are without doubt the oldest still standing in the whole of Islam. The significance of the city as an important stop on the way to Mecca and the prosperity that this brought lasted until the 17th century. By then the region was becoming unsafe and pilgrims began to take a less dangerous route further west.
Of the city which once counted 80,000 inhabitants, there remains today only a village of striking beauty, settled among the ruins. The 2nd century Roman theatre, probably built under Trajan, is the only monument of this type with its upper gallery in the form of a covered portico that has been integrally preserved. This unique monument, enclosed by the walls and towers of a splendid citadel fortified between 481 and 1231, alone would suffice for the glory of Bosra. From outside it could be an Arab fortress similar to many others. On a semi-circular front, great square towers built from enormous blocks of stone (some of the corner ones are more than 5 m high) project from the blind ramparts. A deep ditch, the first line of defence, is crossed on a six-arched bridge. An iron-bound gate, a series of vaulted rooms, twisting passages, rampart walks, and all kinds of defensive works give an impression of the military quality of the castle, but there is no preparation for the discovery that right at its heart lies a splendid ancient theatre.
The two structures, both equally fine, are closely integrated into one another. The 13th-century enclosing wall completely encircles the cavea of the theatre. When the Arabs entered Bosra they immediately blocked all the doors and openings of the ancient theatre with thick walls, thus transforming it into an easily defensible citadel. But the new threats posed by the Crusaders rendered these early defences inadequate; so in the mid-11th century three towers were built, jutting out from the Roman building; nine other larger ones followed between 1202 and 1251. Later accretions overlaid the interior of the theatre and its ranges of seats, but at the same time preserved them. This interior has now been fully uncovered and restored in its entire majestic entirety by the Department of Antiquities, which began its work here shortly after Syria became independent.
There is room for 15,000 spectators to face a stage 45 m long and 8.5 m deep, and a stage wall whose base is emphasized by a series of Corinthian columns. Many details of its architecture proclaim the perfection of its construction and the concern of its 2nd-century builders for the comfort of the audience. Furthermore, sources reveal that the whole theatre was draped with silk hangings that protected audiences from both summer sun and winter rain. Perfumed water was also evaporated in the theatre - the ultimate touch of style and refinement.
In Bosra, Nabatean and Roman monuments, Christian churches, mosques and madrasas come together, all equally celebrated: they are to be found within the half-ruined enceinte of the city. The basilica of the martyrs Sergios, Bacchos and Leontios, the cathedral of Bosra, was completed in 513 by Archbishop Julianus. The structure of this monument, a central plan with eastern apses flanked by two sacristies, exerted a decisive influence on the evolution of Christian architectural forms, and to a certain extent on Islamic forms as well. The Mosque of Omar, restored in 1950, is one of the rare constructions of the 1st century of the Hegira preserved in Syria. The Jami' Mabrak an-Naqua madrasa is one of the oldest and most celebrated of Islam.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

Recipe by Ceil Wallace
"This is a simple butter cookie that can be used in a cookie press, as a drop cookie or made into a roll and sliced. There is no mystery cookie for a cookie press...any stiff butter type can be used. Just be sure to chill it thoroughly so it keeps its shape while baking."

Great, simple spritz butter cookies! Not too sweet, but nice and buttery. This recipe made 4 trays full, about 5 dozen cookies not including the gobs of dough my 4 year old swiped. One hint - you probably won't need to refrigerate the dough to use in a cookie press unless it's really hot in your kitchen. We used dough at room temp and the cookies came out perfect on our first try. This one's a keeper!
Not at all what I expected, I'm from Chicago and I was really looking for those rich, finger printed, lunch room cookies! so if any one has that recipie please share.

I've tried to find a recipe close to the one made by my best friend's mother, and this definitely came the closest. I made a batch and a half, but I left out 1/2 cup of the flour. I also added 1/2 tsp of almond extract for a little extra flavor, and it was wonderful. No need to chill the dough, and since my cookie press was broken, I used a small scoop, and pressed the dough down slightly with wet fingers, which also helped the sugar and sprinkles to stick. And a 350 degree oven seemed to work just as well A wonderful recipe.
These cookies are FANTASTIC!!!! They taste just like the Danish Butter Cookies that come in the tins at the store. The key is to really beat the butter and sugar, then the egg and vanilla until it looks fluffy.
This recipe was INCREDIBLE. I did not have to chill the dough. I would recommend putting a tad bit of almond or lemon extract in, to add flavor. I served them at a baby shower and received RAVE reviews.
I made a double batch of these yesterday. However, I didn't use the cookie press, I just rolled them out and cut them into circles. I baked them just until they were set- no browning (I like them soft). I made a frosting out of 1 stick of margarine softened, 1 lb. powdered sugar, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, and a scant 1/4 c. milk to use on them, then decorated with colored sugars. They turned out great! My husband loved them and wouldn't even let me throw 3 or 4 cookies out that I had cut too thin and had browned! These are the best, although I don't know how much I would have liked them if I wouldn't have put icing on them.
I lost my "old faithful" spritz cookie recipe, but this is every bit as good. I didn't need to chill the dough, and I removed them from the oven at the first miniscule hint of browning (my family prefers soft cookies over crisp cookies). Thanks for sharing this!
I was hoping for a Christmas tin butter cookie and these werent close, in my opinion, at all. I was highly disappointed.

Put it on the other side of the room? Multiple alarms? Sooner or later I acclimatise, and fall back to old habits...
This instructable will hopefully show you how to put your alarm under lock and key! This is the safety alarm clock.
Step 1: Things you need
The main point of my alarm hack was only to allow control of the alarm clock to me once the critical time had passed, once the sensible me was in control... I want the selfish sleepy me to be locked out of any alarm turning off privileges!
Things you will need
Cheapo digital alarm clock Get one with a back up battery if you want to do steps 6-8
Wire Cutters
Screwdriver to open alarm clock
Soldering iron
Wire ( double insulated core and jumper)
Project Box
Heatshrink/electrical tape
SPST Key switch (available from maplins for �3 in the UK!!!!)
for making the clock unpluggable you will need
a 2N3904 transistor
buzzer (6 - 12V)
got all these? no? doesn't matter, the only thing you really need for this is the key switch and alarm clock the rest I'm sure you can improvise!
This is a nifty idea. I also like the clocks that start lighting up the room 15 minutes early and by the time the alarm goes off they are fully bright.
I have the same one!!

CMA blog 2013
Tony's notes from the couch – the KSUX CMA Blog 2013
Watching the CMA Awards tonight was like drinking beers with long lost buddies in your favorite bar. You know the one where they have a free nachos and original cialis a Husker game (or insert your favorite team) on the big screen. The stories were epic. The laughs came easy. Joy was spread. The world seemed right. I can't remember a warmer Awards show in the recent past…and I watch these things religiously.
I really enjoy the visit web site feeling I get that country artists seem to really enjoy and RESPECT other country artists – for the most part. When there is a "cooked up controversy" (like Luke and Zac), forgiveness comes naturally. It's often cured with a few verbal jabs and a funny ditty by Brad and Carrie – who were GREAT by the way. Man, they seem so natural at this gig.
The flow of the show was phenomenal! The 3 hours flew by like a half hour sitcom. There were SO MANY top notch performances.
My top 5:
1. Eric Church singing "The Outsiders". Ok, I'm biased on this one. I believe he put on THE BEST SHOW I've seen at the Tyson Events Center. He always gives you the utmost energy and passion with his music. He's not afraid to beat to his own drum. I guarantee you – he demands attention. There is a reason why Rascal Flatts booted the rebel off the we choice tour. We got our money's worth tonight
2. I have no squabbles with anyone who ranks the AJ & George Strait "He Stopped Loving her Today" tribute #1. It regains the CMA country credibility that was needed at the point in the telecast. That was goose bump-worthy. It did signal the transition from rowdy party to a more reflective tone the rest of the broadcast. Tributes have a way of doing that.
3. So when critics say Taylor Swift has drifted too far away from the country core – what does she do? She enlists the help of the 2 most pure country vocalists of all time. Vince Gill and Allison Krauss. By the way, two artists that graced the viagra were to buy Orpheum stage. Taylor has matured so much and it's been fun to see. Once again I'm partial to alternative for viagra Miss Swift because she kicked off her first major headlining tour in 2009 right here in Siouxville (to borrow a Bruce Miller term)
4. "Compass" by Lady A. Man, they are so smooth and that groove is infectious. I keep thinking the tune was inspired by a mixture of "Cecelia" and some other song. Riverdance?
5. "Drink a Beer" by Luke Bryan represents everything that is great about this country music industry. When you take a personal crises (death of family members) and pour out your heart and generic cialis sale connect with listeners – man, that is powerful!
Honorable mentions –
Florida-Georgia Line – They are never coming to Sioux City, are they? Yes, ABC9 sports dude Travis Morgan – you were right. They are AWESOME. You called it on day one. Why can't you pick Powerball numbers instead?
Hunter Hayes / Jason Mraz duet – They could be brothers. Fun vibe.
Carrie Underwood – I'm a huge fan. That's all I want to say in this space. Wow. (She's the reason I spent large amounts of money on my HDTV) I've said too much.
Bottom 2:
1. Rascal Flatts – They seemed to have lost their mojo and looked a little grumpy. I hope they "find their happy". Yep. Still thinking about Carrie Underwood. Wow.
2. Jason Aldean – dimly lit and voice was off microphone. The dude has been going through a lot. I'd give him a pass. He puts on a great concert though. He'll bounce back.
Random notes:
Only Luke Bryan can pull off that sparkly shirt.
"We Were Us" mentions a "Hail Mary". I thought of cheapest cialis Ron Kellogg III
What was up with Tim McGraw's pants? He looked like an insurance guy ready to sell annuities after the CMA Awards. Wear jeans. Please. And, he can't afford a belt? Come on http://www.ostersundstravet.com/generic-viagra-united-states man. You are going to be President some day. Start dressing the part.
Kacey Musgraves looked a little upset. It's okay. It's a long road. You're off to a great start. Keep plugging away. It's a marathon not a sprint. Don't be pouty like Lee Ann Womack, Chuck Wicks, Kellie Coffey and me on Monday mornings before my first cup of coffee. Celebrate life. Follow your own arrow….to happiness.
Duck Dynasty is cheap cialis without prescription HUGE! What lovable dudes and wives!
You know your arms are buff when Josie Cooper sends you a text saying "check out those biceps" on Kimberly Perry.
NEVER bet against the KING!
CMA Award Show grade: A (I flirted with awarding an A+)
This is the highest grade since 2001.
Partly personal:
This year, my youngest son Beau really got into the broadcast, (Happy to cialis wholesale online report it was 8 year old appropriate too – can't say that with the levitra without a prescription MTV Music Awards). He even took notes for his own blog. What a proud Daddy moment.
His blog in hand scribbled notes?
"I love you. I love music. I have elf on a shelf. They play all these songs on KSUX"
What a great kiddo.
The first time an artist thanked country radio, he turned to me and said "Dad, they just thanked your band".
Yes indeed.
