Tony's Kosama blog
Tony's Kosama blog after completing the viagra online sales 8 week session
On the first day of only here assessments, I asked Damon Yaeger at Kosama what reasonable goals should be for a guy like me. In almost Buddha – like clarity, he told me if he suggested any goals…they would be his goals…not mine.
So, after a few minutes of thought, I stated that I wanted to be the weight I was on the morning of my wedding back on August 22, 1998. For the record that would bring me down from 200.6 to 188.5. I also wanted more energy and follow link to trim down a little in the beer gut.
I missed 3 workout days (out of 40 total) during the 8 week session. It's a wee bit like going to church in that regard. It's easier to attend when you get in the practice of going. Additionally, I changed my eating habits to include some healthier choices, and drank much more water. Both eating better and drinking more water can be attributed to workouts. I realized after a day of eating greasy (yet delicious) food, I struggled the next day at Kosama. Likewise, if I failed to hydrate, my old man bones and muscles would act up...
Here's my final numbers:
My BMI went down from 28.8 – 27.2
My Body fat went down from 22.6% to 22.1%
I went from doing 2 pull-ups to a total of 9 pull-ups
I went from 35 push-ups to 50 push-ups
My biceps went from 12 ¾" to 14 ½"
My right thigh went from 21" to 22". The left is probably about the generic viagra cost same.
I weighed in at 189.4
I met and exceeded all of my goals except for missing the last one by 0.9 pound. I guess that was probably my weight the day after my wedding when I gorged on dinner, cake, champagne and keg beer. I guess that's close enough.
I signed up for another 8 weeks. It's nice to generic cialis fast shipping see so many faces from session one and a whole slew of buy generic ultram no prescription new "Bro-samas and Ko-sadies".
If you have any questions about Kosama, just give me a call at the station or I can take you along and generic viagra online canadian pharmacyonline viagra no prescription we can sweat together. This is "bring a friend for FREE" week. See if you like it and are willing to accept the challenge! You can also call Kosama. Their phone number is canada cheap propecia 635.3077. Class times are at 5a, 615a, 9a, 1145a, 415p, 530p, and 645p. See you there.

Well, we've made it to week 7 in the Kosama Complete Body Transformation challenge. Working out at Kosama is no easy fix. You reap the results that you earn with commitment and sweat. I set out my goals back in orientation on July 16th. I wanted to have more energy, trim up and be at the weight I was when I married my lovely wife back in 1998. With less than 2 weeks to go, all my goals are attainable.
Today in our kickboxing session, I earned my highest workout calorie burn of 1019. I ranged anywhere from 650 - 950 in the first 6 weeks dependent on bondhotel.co.uk the activity at hand. For comparison, I did a walk / jog around the neighborhood this past weekend for 50 minutes and burned about 220. The Kosama boys (My Bro-samas) and Kosama ladies (My Ko-sadies? I'm still working on that) say the cheapest viagra in the world workouts are based in "muscle confusion" and then cite the rationale behind it. My eyes glaze over and I feel like I'm back in Mr. Sibbernsen's High School Trig class. I know this. It works.
To clarify, Kosama works best when you do the following:
- You have to show up at the classes (5a, 615a, 9a, 1145a, 415p, 530p and 645p)
- Water consumption is key (I think I'm supposed to down about 100 oz. a day. I come close. I'm trying.
- There needs to be a healthy food element to cheap levitra online your diet (Sarah from HyVee can fill you in on the details.)
- Listen to the instruction closely
- You need to be motivated
If you do these five things, the program is for you. Kosama is no magic pill or the wave of the wand to generic cialis cheapest india make you skinny. However, it's a huge bonus to have the personal attention of the trainers in every class. I really formed a bond with my workout partners and that social element really adds to the process. A number of people in our group are shrinking and www.earthlyclinic.com toning at impressive rates. I found there's really no good way to say "Wow. You are looking good". I choose to viagra cialis on line keep my mouth shut on observations, but the results really are amazing.
The next set of classes start on Sept 12th. I plan to be in the "alumni class". Who's with me?

1 Billion Views: The Viral Rise of TED Talks in One Chart
TED announced that its talks are being viewed 1.5 million times a day.
TED announced that its talks are being viewed 1.5 million times a day.
In continuing to tinker with the universe she built eight years after it ended, J.K. Rowling might be falling into the same trap as Star Wars's George Lucas.
September 1st, 2015 marked a curious footnote in Harry Potter marginalia: According to the series's elaborate timeline, rarely referenced in the books themselves, it was the day James S. Potter, Harry's eldest son, started school at Hogwarts. It's not an event directly written about in the books, nor one of particular importance, but their creator, J.K. Rowling, dutifully took to Twitter to announce what amounts to footnote details: that James was sorted into House Gryffindor, just like his father, to the disappointment of Teddy Lupin, Harry's godson, apparently a Hufflepuff.
It's not earth-shattering information that Harry's kid would end up in the same house his father was in, and the Harry Potter series's insistence on sorting all of its characters into four broad personality quadrants largely based on their family names has always struggled to stand up to scrutiny. Still, Rowling's tweet prompted much garment-rending among the books' devoted fans. Can a tweet really amount to a piece of canonical information for a book? There isn't much harm in Rowling providing these little embellishments years after her books were published, but even idle tinkering can be a dangerous path to take, with the obvious example being the insistent tweaks wrought by George Lucas on his Star Wars series.
The man who made computers personal was a genius and a jerk. A new documentary wonders whether his legacy can accommodate both realities.
An iPhone is a machine much like any other: motherboard, modem, microphone, microchip, battery, wires of gold and silver and copper twisting and snaking, the whole assembly arranged under a piece of glass whose surface—coated with an oxide of indium and tin to make it electrically conductive—sparks to life at the touch of a warm-blooded finger. But an iPhone, too, is much more than a machine. The neat ecosystem that hums under its heat-activated glass holds grocery lists and photos and games and jokes and news and books and music and secrets and the voices of loved ones and, quite possibly, every text you've ever exchanged with your best friend. Thought, memory, empathy, the stuff we sometimes shorthand as "the soul": There it all is, zapping through metal whose curves and coils were designed to be held in a human hand.
In the name of emotional well-being, college students are increasingly demanding protection from words and ideas they don't like. Here's why that's disastrous for education—and mental health.
Something strange is happening at America's colleges and universities. A movement is arising, undirected and driven largely by students, to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that might cause discomfort or give offense. Last December, Jeannie Suk wrote in an online article for The New Yorker about law students asking her fellow professors at Harvard not to teach rape law—or, in one case, even use the word violate (as in "that violates the law") lest it cause students distress. In February, Laura Kipnis, a professor at Northwestern University, wrote an essay in The Chronicle of Higher Education describing a new campus politics of sexual paranoia—and was then subjected to a long investigation after students who were offended by the article and by a tweet she'd sent filed Title IX complaints against her. In June, a professor protecting himself with a pseudonym wrote an essay for Vox describing how gingerly he now has to teach. "I'm a Liberal Professor, and My Liberal Students Terrify Me," the headline said. A number of popular comedians, including Chris Rock, have stopped performing on college campuses (see Caitlin Flanagan's article in this month's issue). Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Maher have publicly condemned the oversensitivity of college students, saying too many of them can't take a joke.
The Islamic State is no mere collection of psychopaths. It is a religious group with carefully considered beliefs, among them that it is a key agent of the coming apocalypse. Here's what that means for its strategy—and for how to stop it.
What is the Islamic State?
Where did it come from, and what are its intentions? The simplicity of these questions can be deceiving, and few Western leaders seem to know the answers. In December, The New York Times published confidential comments by Major General Michael K. Nagata, the Special Operations commander for the United States in the Middle East, admitting that he had hardly begun figuring out the Islamic State's appeal. "We have not defeated the idea," he said. "We do not even understand the idea." In the past year, President Obama has referred to the Islamic State, variously, as "not Islamic" and as al-Qaeda's "jayvee team," statements that reflected confusion about the group, and may have contributed to significant strategic errors.
An image of a small child evokes an unfathomably huge tragedy.
I had just dropped my son off at daycare when I opened Twitter and came across a photo that over the next 24 hours would become a totem of the refugee crisis in Europe and the Middle East, and the blight that is the Syrian civil war. The picture would quickly reappear, this time as an earnest social-media meme, at a meeting of dithering UN officials and a gathering of unfeeling Arab leaders: a small Syrian boy in a red shirt, blue shorts, and worn shoes, lying face down in wet sand, his head cocked to one side along a gray, glistening shoreline, his lifeless hands cupped upwards, his knees slightly bent.
My first reaction was despair. My second was: My son sleeps just like that.
The attention this photo has received has generated discomfort as well as indignation—for understandable reasons. There are important ethical questions surrounding the taking or sharing of photos of children, dead or alive, in the media, including questions about the intent of the sharers and the consent of the subject. The scale of the Syrian tragedy is orders of magnitude greater, and infinitely more variegated, than this one picture, or this one victim's story, can possibly convey. Over the last four and a half years, an estimated 240,000 people have died in the grinding violence, including nearly 12,000 children. More than half of Syria's pre-war population—half, the proportional equivalent of nearly 170 million Americans—have been forced to flee their homes, spawning the largest exodus of refugees in a generation. Seven hundred and fifty thousand Syrian children won't be going back to school this fall.
Fractured by internal conflict and foreign intervention for centuries, Afghanistan made several tentative steps toward modernization in the mid-20th century. In the 1950s and 1960s, some of the biggest strides were made toward a more liberal and westernized lifestyle, while trying to maintain a respect for more conservative factions. Though officially a neutral nation, Afghanistan was courted and influenced by the U.S. and Soviet Union during the Cold War, accepting Soviet machinery and weapons, and U.S. financial aid. This time was a brief, relatively peaceful era, when modern buildings were constructed in Kabul alongside older traditional mud structures, when burqas became optional for a time, and the country appeared to be on a path toward a more open, prosperous society. Progress was halted in the 1970s, as a series of bloody coups, invasions, and civil wars began, continuing to this day, reversing almost all of the steps toward modernization taken in the 50s and 60s. Keep in mind, when looking at these images, that the average life expectancy for Afghans born in 1960 was 31, so the vast majority of those pictured have likely passed on since.
I traveled to every country on earth. In some cases, the adventure started before I could get there.
Last summer, my Royal Air Maroc flight from Casablanca landed at Malabo International Airport in Equatorial Guinea, and I completed a 50-year mission: I had officially, and legally, visited every recognized country on earth.
This means 196 countries: the 193 members of the United Nations, plus Taiwan, Vatican City, and Kosovo, which are not members but are, to varying degrees, recognized as independent countries by other international actors.
In five decades of traveling, I've crossed countries by rickshaw, pedicab, bus, car, minivan, and bush taxi; a handful by train (Italy, Switzerland, Moldova, Belarus, Ukraine, Romania, and Greece); two by riverboat (Gabon and Germany); Norway by coastal steamer; Gambia and the Amazonian parts of Peru and Ecuador by motorized canoe; and half of Burma by motor scooter. I rode completely around Jamaica on a motorcycle and Nauru on a bicycle. I've also crossed three small countries on foot (Vatican City, San Marino, and Liechtenstein), and parts of others by horse, camel, elephant, llama, and donkey. I confess that I have not visited every one of the 7,107 islands in the Philippine archipelago or most of the more than 17,000 islands constituting Indonesia, but I've made my share of risky voyages on the rickety inter-island rustbuckets you read about in the back pages of the Times under headlines like "Ship Sinks in Sulu Sea, 400 Presumed Lost."
According to Franklin, what mattered in business was humility, restraint, and discipline. But today's Type-A MBAs would find him qualified for little more than a career in middle management.
When he retired from the printing business at the age of 42, Benjamin Franklin set his sights on becoming what he called a "Man of Leisure." To modern ears, that title might suggest Franklin aimed to spend his autumn years sleeping in or stopping by the tavern, but to colonial contemporaries, it would have intimated aristocratic pretension. A "Man of Leisure" was typically a member of the landed elite, someone who spent his days fox hunting and affecting boredom. He didn't have to work for a living, and, frankly, he wouldn't dream of doing so.
Having worked as a successful shopkeeper with a keen eye for investments, Franklin had earned his leisure, but rather than cultivate the fine arts of indolence, retirement, he said, was "time for doing something useful." Hence, the many activities of Franklin's retirement: scientist, statesman, and sage, as well as one-man civic society for the city of Philadelphia. His post-employment accomplishments earned him the sobriquet of "The First American" in his own lifetime, and yet, for succeeding generations, the endeavor that was considered his most "useful" was the working life he left behind when he embarked on a life of leisure.
What do Google's trippy neural network-generated images tell us about the human mind?
When a collection of artificial brains at Google began generating psychedelic images from otherwise ordinary photos, engineers compared what they saw to dreamscapes. They named their image-generation technique Inceptionism and called the code used to power it Deep Dream.
But many of the people who saw the images reacted the same way: These things didn't come from a dream world. They came from an acid trip.
The computer-made images feature scrolls of color, swirling lines, stretched faces, floating eyeballs, and uneasy waves of shadow and light. The machines seemed to be hallucinating, and in a way that appeared uncannily human.
The idea behind the project was to test the extent to which a neural network had learned to recognize various animals and landscapes by asking the computer to describe what it saw. So, instead of just showing a computer a picture of a tree and saying, "tell me what this is," engineers would show the computer an image and say, "enhance whatever it is you see."
In Beijing, China marked the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, and its role in defeating Japan, by holding an enormous military parade and declaring a new national holiday. The spectacle involved more than 12,000 troops, 500 pieces of military hardware, and 200 aircraft.

The spectacle involved more than 12,000 troops, 500 pieces of military hardware, and 200 aircraft of various types, representing what military officials said were the Chinese military's most cutting-edge technology. While the entire event was a show of strength, Chinese officials insisted the message was about peace, with the logo displayed on posters featuring an image of a dove.

Kanye West (SMXRF/Star Max/FilmMagic)
Just after arriving at LAX, West was confronted by a paparazzo right after emerging from his vehicle and, naturally, TMZ caught the entire exchange on camera.
In the video clip, the photog praises the "Black Skinheads" rapper and says he's a big fan, but West isn't in the mood for compliments. "I appreciate it, but don't talk. Don't talk to me," he responded. "I don't want to hear paparazzi talk to me or anyone I know …. And tell everybody never talk, to anyone, that anyone knows … don't talk to themselves …. Don't talk ever again."
West then heads into the terminal, and that's when the paparazzo makes his fatal mistake — he dares to ask West about "The Throne 2" (the hypothetical follow-up to his popular "Watch the Throne" album with Jay-Z from 2012).
Apparently, the new dad is not happy that the paparazzo had not taken his just-offered advice to heart.
"I said, don't talk!" West exclaims before lunging for the photog's camera, playing into exactly the reaction that many paparazzi hope to get by asking pestering questions of their subjects.
As mentioned, this is not the first time West has flipped out on TMZ. Remember this gem from 2008?
To his credit, the hip-hop mogul regularly gets pestered by paparazzi, who follow his every move, and that can't be fun.
Just for old time's sake, who can forget the great street sign caper of May 2013? Enjoy!

GREENPEACE LAUNCHES DIMMABLE ECO BULB in London
The UK's first fully dimmable energy efficient light bulb was launched today, as part of a Greenpeace initiative at 100% Design London. Greenpeace commissioned top designer Jason Bruges to create an interactive garden of light, which responds to human movement through "touch pads" dotted around the installation. This is the first lighting project of its kind in the world to use fully dimmable, compact fluorescent bulbs.
Greenpeace explains:
"Energy efficiency is one of the most powerful tools we have for fighting climate change, and this installation will prove that going green doesn't mean sacrificing good design. The bulbs themselves have been nominated in the "most innovative lighting" category at the 100% Design London awards, and the installation has been moved to the front of house feature space. It's a sure sign that the exhibition organisers have realised that they have something new and exciting on their hands."

That\'s just what is needed – an energy bulb that can be dimmed. About time too!

I always appreciate the people for their efforts towards the eco-friendliness & am very pleased to see your post. I've also found a lighting vender SUPERIOR LIGHTING playing an important role by launching their energy efficient LEDs & soothing light bulbs for eco friendliness.

Note than when CFLs are used indoors, and the outside temp is lower than the desired indoor temp, the energy savings of CFLs is reduced somewhat because the "waste" heat of incandescent bulbs is effectively recycled to heat the indoor space. One the other hand…it's also true that in a given location, electric heat may be less efficient than other methods — solar, gas, propane — so the although the waste heat from incandescent bulbs is recycled, that heat is not necessarily produced in the most efficient manner.

We want these in the US! I will push this product in all our homes and automation projects. Sure hope they will exist on the USA voltage + hertz.

Ironic, perfect word for it. I mean isn't kinda pointless to make a display that uses so energy when tring to promote a bulb that saves energy?.. sure it's catchy, and gets peoples attention. but using so much is what they're tring to change. right? & r they actually affordable?..& where?

Dimmable is good. CF bulbs have poor illumination qualities though, just like standard flourescent bulbs do. When full spectrum Ott-lite bulbs can be manufactured in the twist design of CF bulbs and then dimmed… THAT would be real progress. http://www.ott-lite.com

I saw this article on EcoGeek and came over here to see who makes them. Steiner-I absolutely agree with you. It is kind of like the joke, how many…you need to screw in a light bulb. You know the punch lines.
They make dimmable floods for recessed light but they do not dim all the way (Phillips makes them.) I was wondering if this new light hummed too when they were fully dimmed.
I also hope that they work with all the lighting systems out there too, and are affordable. anna http://www.green-talk.com
September 25, 2007 at 9:01 am
Great move but how much and who's selling them!!!
September 24, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Dear Steiner- Amen to that!

September 24, 2007 at 3:10 pm
Steinar, that's the first thing I thought too. How much energy did this display require? Couldn't ONE light bulb prove their point?
September 24, 2007 at 1:26 pm
This is not the first dimmable CF bulb. I bought one about 4 years ago, in fact. Maybe this is the first time they're being offered for sale in the UK? The one I bought made lots of noise at less than 100% brightness and flickered a bit, so hopefully these models perform a little better!
September 24, 2007 at 9:40 am
Is it not ironic that they needed to have so many light blubs to prove thier point. Surely they could have come up with an idea to launch a energy saving blub that does not require so much energy!?
September 24, 2007 at 5:04 am
Good, it's about time a dimmable CF bulb was produced. Now all those people with dimmer switches have no excuse and governments have no excuse not to ban the old ones, although that looks pretty imminent in the EU.

Supplies you will need
- Water
- 1 clear plastic bottle
- Vegetable oil
- Food coloring
- Alka-Seltzer or any sort of tables that fizz
- Fill the clear plastic bottle one quarter of the way full with water
- Fill the bottle with vegetable oil until it is nearly full
- Wait for the oil and the water to separate
- Add about twelve drops of your favorite color food coloring into the bottle
- The food coloring will fall through the oil, drop to the bottom and mix with the water
- Break the Alka-Seltzer tablet into four small pieces
- Add the first piece of Alka-Seltzer to the water and watch the lava begin!
- Once the bubbling stops add more Alka-Seltzer to continue to fun
The science behind the experiment
The oil and water separate because the density of each liquid is different. The oil floats to the top because it has a lower density than water and food coloring do.
The Alka-Seltzer tablets that are dropped in the bottle release small bubbles of carbon dioxide. The bubbles then rise to the top with the water and food coloring. Once the gas escapes, the water goes back to the bottom.

Beth Orton (born Elizabeth Caroline Orton, 14 December 1970) is a BRIT Awardâ[][]winning English singer-songwriter, known for her 'folktronica' sound, which mixes elements of folk and electronica. She was initially recognised for her collaborations with William Orbit and the Chemical Brothers in the mid 1990s. However, these were not Orton's first recordings. She had released a solo album, Superpinkymandy, in 1993. Since the album was only released in Japan, it went largely unnoticed by international audiences. Her second solo album, Trailer Park, garnered much critical acclaim in 1996. Orton developed a devoted audience with the release of the albums Central Reservation (1999) and the 2002 UK top 10 album, Daybreaker. In her 2006 release, Comfort of Strangers, she moved towards a more folk-based sound and away from the electronic sound of her past albums. American films and television programmes such as Felicity, How to Deal, Charmed, Dawson's Creek, Vanilla Sky and Grey's Anatomy have featured her music and provided her with exposure to a more mainstream American audience.

If you are going to visit the beautiful city of Vancouver, Canada, you are probably already excited about the many opportunities for fun things to do. Downtown hotels are great options for those wanting access to nightlife, art galleries, and good restaurants, while others who want to be close to Grouse Mountain and other outdoor activities will probably prefer to stay in North Vancouver hotels.
Business travelers can take advantage of deals at airport hotels; they usually find it nice to stay at hotels in Vancouver, BC close to the airport. Car rentals are easily available in Vancouver, so those on a business trip or a Vancouver vacation arriving to the city via one of the many convenient flights to Vancouver don't have to depend on cabs or public transportation.
Fortunately, those on a budget will find that the most expensive things to do aren't necessarily the most fun. We offer rates and specials on hotels near Pacific Coliseum, home to events of the 2010 Winter Olympics, and throughout the city. Guests of hotels in Vancouver can find many inexpensive entertainment and activity options. Cheap Vancouver hotels tourists love are often found among the hotels on Granville street. This is a fairly centralized area that has a good deal of pet friendly hotels and is close to Stanley Park. However, not all hotels near Stanley Park are among the cheapest in town. The area features plenty of luxury hotels as well as boutique hotels and finding 5 star hotels is also possible. It is also possible to make reservations at 4 star hotels in the area, so if having access to a hotel spa is important to you, you should look into booking a stay at one of the region's top romantic hotels.
If you are looking for a Vancouver hotel even locals recommend, you should look among the eclectic lodging options offered by a number of North Vancouver hotels. We can get you the best prices on packages in all parts of the city. Expedia often has discounts available – whether you are traveling with your family or not.

Interpretive Handbook
8270 :
Hemoglobin F, Red Cell Distribution, Blood
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
More than 75% of the hemoglobin of the newborn is hemoglobin F (Hb F); it diminishes over a period of several months to adult levels, becoming <2% by 1 year-of-age and <1% by 2 years.
Hb F may constitute 90% of the total hemoglobin in patients with beta-thalassemia major or other combinations of beta thalassemia and fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) mutations.
Hb F is often mildly to moderately elevated in sickle cell disease, aplastic anemia, acute leukemia, myeloproliferative disorders such as juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), hereditary spherocytosis, and alpha-thalassemia minor. It is commonly increased in hemoglobinopathies associated with hemolysis. Hb F increases to as high as 10% during normal pregnancy. Hb F is also increased due to medications such as hydroxyurea, decitabine, and lenalidomide. Elevation in Hb F has a been cited as a discriminator between Diamond-Blackfan congenital pure red cell aplasia (elevated) and transient erythroblastopenia of childhood (normal) but whether this simply reflects the chronicity of anemia inherent to the former condition rather than a specific finding is unclear.
In the common (large deletional) form of the genetic trait hereditary persistence of HPFH, all of the erythrocytes contain Hb F. When tested by flow cytometry using specificity for Hb F, these HPFH cases display a homocellular distribution pattern of Hb F within the red cell population. Other causes of increased Hb F including delta beta thalassemia, hydroxyurea, and some nondeletional HPFH mutations typically display a heterocellular distribution of Hb F within the red cells, reflecting disparate populations of F cells and cells lacking Hb F. Quantification of Hb F percentage should be determined prior to flow cytometry of Hb F red cell distribution to establish the appropriateness of this test. The flow cytometry analysis of elevated Hb F levels is useful when Hb F percentage is between 15% to 35% and the clinical differential diagnosis includes large deletional HPFH. Hb F percentages below 15% are likely not due to large deletional HPFH and causes of Hb F percentages above 35% are better confirmed by molecular and family studies. This test is not to be ordered for fetal-maternal bleed. If fetal maternal bleed assessment is desired, please see FMB / Fetomaternal Bleed, Flow Cytometry, Blood.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Distinguishing large deletional hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin from other conditions with increased percentage of fetal hemoglobin
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Homocellular distribution of fetal hemoglobin is found in large deletional hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin.
Heterocellular distribution is found in delta beta thalassemia, medication induced, and other causes of increased hemoglobin F.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
For hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin only. Not to be ordered for fetal-maternal bleed (see FMB / Fetomaternal Bleed, Flow Cytometry, Blood).
With hemoglobin F values >35%, most specimens show a homocellular pattern; this does not necessarily indicate hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin. Clinical correlation is needed.
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.
Reported as heterocellular or homocellular

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 29, 2010)
- The ETSU men's soccer team is set to open Atlantic Sun conference play as they host Campbell and Mercer this week at Summers-Taylor Stadium to close out a five-game homestand.
The Bucs face the Camels on Thursday at 7 p.m., while Saturday's match against the Bears is also slated for 7 p.m.
ETSU (5-2-0, 0-0-0 A-Sun) comes into the week ranked eighth in the NSCAA South Region after defeating Marshall and UNC Asheville in overtime. Junior
Aaron Schoenfeld
(Knoxville, Tenn.) received Atlantic Sun Player of the Week and College Soccer News National Team of the Week honors after netting both game-winning goals last week. Schoenfeld leads the team with three goals on the season.
The Bucs are 0-2-0 all-time against Campbell, while they have a 0-1-1 record against Mercer. ETSU is 5-11-2 all-time in A-Sun play since starting the program in 2008.
The Camels (2-2-3, 0-0-0 A-Sun) have played a tough non-conference schedule defeating 23
ranked Charlotte 2-1 at home. Campbell has gone 2-0-1 in its last three contests after defeating Appalachian State 1-0 this past weekend. Khalil Johnson is the only Camel with multiple goals on the season.
Mercer (4-1-1, 0-0-0 A-Sun) boasts the best record heading into conference play as the Bears have won two straight against Georgia State and VMI. The Bears play USC Upstate on Thursday before coming to town on Saturday. Mercer is led by Ian Cameron as he has tallied three goals and seven points on the year.
Fans who donate a new or gently used book on Saturday at the Mercer game will receive admission for only a Buc ($1).

Okay, so maybe you don't think you'll win a championship any time soon, but after taking the Ahlbin Rehabilitation Centers' eight–week golf-fitness program, who knows? The best golfers understand that a sport-specific workout program helps them to play their best…and it can do the same for you.
"When you play stronger, you play better," says Ahlbin Rehabilitation Centers exercise specialist Jack Russell, NASM–CPT (National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer), who teaches the course. "Everyone, from scratch golfers to high handicappers and beginners, can benefit from the improved core stability (strength in the torso), flexibility, balance and endurance they'll develop through this program. Plus, golf is much more fun when you're fit because you'll hit the ball better, which will help shave strokes off your score, and you won't run out of gas somewhere on the back nine."
The classes begin with a basic fitness assessment. Then the weekly one-hour sessions focus on increasing overall strength and conditioning, with special emphasis placed on the core muscles of the trunk – the "engine" of the golf swing. Stretching and balance are also major parts of the program.
Tiger and Annika didn't get where they are by working out just once a week, so as an added bonus, you will be provided with special home workouts so you can get fit and stay fit, even when you can't make it to the gym.

Digital Alcohol Breathalyzer by BACTRACK®
Screens for the presence of alcohol and estimates blood alcohol content in seconds.
Fast, accurate results... just exhale! Unlike other testers that require blowing into a mouthpiece, you simply exhale ½" away from the Digital Alcohol Detector's internal dual-flow tube to test your blood alcohol content. No more sharing contaminated tubes or paying for replacement mouthpieces! Simply turn it on and follow the on-screen instructions. Circular light rings signal where to exhale and for how long for instant results. Slim, compact detector comes with a protective carrying case and slips easily into pocket or purse to go wherever the party is.
The new generation of alcohol tester.
Developed over 8 years, patent-pending BluFire® technology provides extremely accurate results by steadying airflow and requiring a deep lung air sample for each test. The Digital Alcohol Detector is accurate +/- 0.001% BAC (blood alcohol content), with a wide test range that measures blood alcohol content from 0.00-0.40% BAC. Requires 2 AA batteries (not included).
The Digital Alcohol Detector by BACTRACK helps you decide when to say when. Order from Brookstone today!
Indications for Use: This device is intended to measure alcohol in the human breath. Measurements obtained by this device are used as an aid in the detection of alcohol intoxication. IMPORTANT: Estimates and results may vary. This product cannot determine the subject's exact blood alcohol concentration (BAC) and should not be used for such purposes. Read the enclosed instructions first to ensure proper use, accuracy limitations and calibration requirements. It is very important to have the instrument calibrated as recommended in the instructions. Failure to do so may result in inaccurate readings. Do not rely upon results to determine level of intoxication or your ability to safely operate motor vehicles or heavy machinery.

I bought one of these last year for my 25 year old son and he uses it all the time. When he is at the bar drinking (only occasionally) and takes it out, all his friends use it. At our Halloween party I made him blow into it. It came up a 1.03 twice. That meant he was staying over. It really is worth the money. I am writing this review because I just bought my 20 year old one for Christmas as well. Makes a great and useful gift.

Comments about Digital Alcohol Breathalyzer by BACTRACK®:
I like this product for its convenience and rapid results. I get frustrated because its display says "error" about half the time you use it. How can it have an error when you simply blow through it for 5 seconds? It seems like a software glitch. Also the results are close but inconsistent. In one blow it will say .02 and the next .01 and the next .03. But its close enough to know that you are near the legal limit so I will continue to use it.

Comments about Digital Alcohol Breathalyzer by BACTRACK®:
Wow! My college-age son said this was his favorite Christmas gift. He and his friends were astounded by their readings and it became quite a learning tool. It kept them from driving when they thought, "I just had a few..." but their BAC was over 0.08! I actually saw more moderation in their drinking as they learned how their bodies metabolized the alcohol based on their readings. My son ended up giving his to his cousin who is in the military and we ordered him another one. I researched them prior to purchasing and saw that Brookstone carried the model rated as one of the most accurate. I've decided it is a phenomenal gift for this age group as everyone said, "Awesome, I want one of them!"

This alcohol detector helps you and your friends enjoy a night out more responsibly. You just push the button, breathe into it, and it tells you your blood alcohol content on the spot. And I really like the fact that it doesn't use a mouthpiece, so everyone you're with can use it.

Q: I like using salt on the sidewalks along the street and approach to my house to protect myself and others from slipping on the ice, but I'm worried about what it will do to my trees and other plants. Is there a better alternative?
A: Sodium salts are the most common types used for de-icing and also the least expensive to use — but they are the most damaging as well. When possible, use alternatives to sodium products, such as calcium chloride or calcium magnesium acetate (CMA). More and more alternative salts are being offered in hardware stores and garden centers, although they are considerably more expensive.
Using a completely safe alternative such as scattering inexpensive cat litter on the ice will not only protect you from slipping, but if you have pets, it will not harm their paws. You can safely sweep that off the walks onto the lawn or wherever without worry of harming your plants.
In fact, using that might aid in loosening up some very sticky clay soil come spring.
If you are planning to put new trees or shrubs between the sidewalk and street in the spring, use plants that are resistant to salt damage such as honey locust.
For a more complete list of desirable plants, contact the Extension office at 481-6826.
To protect your plants from the inevitable salt sprays from city trucks, you may just want to remove as much of the snow as possible by sweeping it off the tree bark and cleaning it off the soil around the plants as soon as you can after the trucks pass.
If you decide to remove the snow from those areas, it is important to avoid throwing it onto the lawn or other planting beds.
In spite of the slippery problems that snow and freezing weather cause, in most cases our gardens do not mind snow at all. In fact, there are benefits from snowfall. Here are some interesting facts to think about: "Snow is an excellent insulator against low temperatures and excessive winds. The extent of protection depends on the depth of snow. Generally, the temperature below the snow increases by about 2 degrees F for each inch of accumulation. In addition, the soil gives off some heat so that the temperature at the soil surface can be much warmer than the air temperature. One study found that the soil surface temperature was 28 F with a 9-inch snow depth and an air temperature of -14 F! Snow brings welcome moisture to many landscape plants, which will in turn help prevent desiccation injury. Even dormant plants continue to lose moisture from twigs (as water vapor) in the process known as transpiration. Evergreen plants, which keep their leaves through the winter, are at even greater risk of injury." (From www.hort.purdue.edu/ext/snowis)

SLINGER- Washington County's district attorney doesn't plan to make a decision Monday on possible charges against a person who shot an alleged intruder over the weekend, according to the Journal Sentinel.
Officials continue their investigation Monday after the arrest of a suspect following a deadly shooting of Bo Morrison, 20, that is likely to involve the so-called castle doctrine.
Wisconsin's new castle doctrine presumes homeowners are justified when using deadly force against intruders. The law covers places like patios, porches and garages.
Friends of the man killed near the scene of an underage drinking party say they want the man who pulled the trigger to be held accountable in the death.
"My son died, killed, shot to the heart," Lauri Morrison says. "From the neighbor on the porch. Like an animal."
Danielle Alvaro and a group of friends were at a Friday night party at a house on the 100 block of North Kettle Moraine in the town of Slinger when chaos broke out.
"We were hiding from the cops," Alvaro says. "We didn't want to get under age drinking tickets."
Party-goers scattered, including Bo Morrison. The 20-year-old Morrison ran next door to hide in an enclosed porch. The couple that lives there told Slinger Police someone was breaking into their home. That's when he was shot and killed.
Alvaro insists that isn't what happened.
"He felt threatened?" Alvaro says. "Whatever he wants to say. He knew we were kids at this party."
TODAY'S TMJ4's Todd Hicks tried to get the homeowners' side of the story, but no one answered at their Slinger home.
Sunday, Bo's circle of friends gathered to offer each other support.
"This is like your heart getting crushed into two halves and you don't know which half to take," friend C.J. Catozzi says.
Friends say even though Bo has had past ruins with the law, what happened early Saturday was no crime. These friends want the shooter to face justice.
"We can't have Bo back, and Bo can't tell his side of the story because he took him away," Alvaro says.
The shooter was arrested Saturday, but was later released.
"Why not shoot my son in the leg and call 911?" Morrison says.
The DA is reviewing the case.
"He took my son's life with one shot," Morrison says. "But killed six of us in our family. His father, me and all the kids are distraught. He took a whole family out with one bullet."

BROCKPORT – The Horton Township Supervisors voted unanimously in favor of putting a trailer up for bid during Wednesday night's regular meeting.
"When we bought that paver it came with a trailer," said supervisor Dennis Thompson. "We actually don't need it, so we are going to try and put it up for bid."
The trailer will be put out for bid with a minimum bid of $2,000.
"We are going to put it up for bid because we don't need a second trailer," said chairman Jeff Johnson.
In other business, fire chief Chad Guaglianone reported 14 calls for July; 12 QRS; one car accident; and one public service call.
"You guys were still busy," Johnson said.

Hey guys. Ive been struggling to get a good weld on tubing and have come here for help. I feel Im pretty proficient with straight welds such as welding box tubing or plate but when it comes to welding tube I end up with sub par results.
I tend to use a zig zag or crecent type pattern but when I do it on a tube or round joint it ends up horrible. Ive come to the conclusion that what works for straight joints isnt neccessarily good for a fishmouth or any type of round filet.
So my question is, What is a good pattern to use? Ive even considered just hitting the joint with a straight bead but when I do it tends to get a bit cattapillar like which Im not ok with either. Im want to be able to lay down a nice flat bead that is structurally sound, Ive got that down for the straight now I need it for tube.

Using a Millermatic 180 with 75/25 gas.
I seems when I weave the weld is huge compared to a straight weld I can do. Ive tried to do a straight no weave pattern and the weld is more confined but it sits proud which I know is wrong.
For some reason I cant seem to get welding a tube down . I am self taught so I dont really have anyone to ask other than asking questions on forums or watching videos. I even watched Covells video and I didnt seem to gain anything.
I really hoping theres a resource for me to go after to figure out how to correctly weld tube.
OK so your using MIG. but you left out size of pipe and hard wire or flux?
if it's small pipe 2" and under it's all in your angle of the gun (15degree and pushing).
let's say your doing a pipe rail on a bench T joint. just start at the top center and weld down hand left then right from the top.
if it's a pipe over 2" then same for root and same for cover but with a weave (moving fast side to side)
if it is going to be a structural weld then you should be sticking it anyway.TB 325

Im welding 1 1/2-1 3/4" .125 mild steel DOM. Im using solid core .030 wire with 75/25 gas. This is for automotive apps such as trans crossmembers, engine mounts, bracing ect.
Stick welds arent legal for use.
Ill give a try pushing instead of dragging like I tend to do with flat stock. Heres a question regarding that, will pushing require any different settings as opposed to dragging? My thinking is that since Im moving into cool metal I may need to either slow down or up the voltage to keep the heat up.
Ive never really practiced with a push technique because my welds came out good with the opposite so I never tried. Guess Ill try it tomorrow.

You've been dragging? That's your problem right there. Also not a good technique for gas shielding coverage either.

I havent experienced any issues with my straight welds dragging the gun. I know what a weld looks like when it is exposed to air and they arent even close to that.
You are experiencing issues with dragging the gun on tubing. Sheet is more forgiving.
You're not going to see porosity and lack of root fusion because it's going to be under all that pretty MIG weld bead.That's the downfall of MIG. Anyone can make great looking welds, even if they are not sound.
The gun needs to be tilted in the direction of travel so the shielding gas can get down in the gap between tubes and cover the root before your heat gets there. It doesn't do as much good if the shielding gas gets there after it's molten. It also directs the heat of your arc toward the root instead of the weld pool.
The greater the drag angle, the more convex the bead. The greater the push angle, the more concave the bead. At a push angle of about 15 degrees is where you get flat welds.
80% of failures are from 20% of causes
Never compromise your principles today in the name of furthering them in the future.

Tinker's family was at work when the tornado hit and destroyed their home. After visiting two shelters searching for their precious pooch and almost losing hope, the family visited OK Humane, where their beloved pup was waiting for them.
This Memorial Day weekend was one of healing and hope for the residents of Moore, Oklahoma. The ASPCA saw the community's incredible resilience firsthand as many of our responders spent the weekend on the ground in Oklahoma City assisting the heroic sheltering and rescue efforts of Central Oklahoma Humane Society (OK Humane).
The ASPCA was happy to lend a hand to OK Humane and provide extra staffing to handle the influx of animals affected by this disaster. In what was truly a joint effort, we also enlisted the support of IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare), Code 3 Associates Animal Disaster Response, RedRover, and SAWA (Society of Animal Welfare Administrators) to help OK Humane.
We are thrilled to report that dozens of reunions occurred over the weekend, as people who lost everything came to OK Humane and found missing family members. Here are just a few of those heartwarming moments:
Tasha the Pomeranian, another tornado survivor, gets a big hug from her human sister on May 25 at OK Humane.
Porkchop and Asia (pictured above) were brought to OK Humane as strays shortly after the tornado. They were reunited with their pet parents over the weekend.
Chance, a handsome Boxer, suffered facial fractures and a deep wound on his leg as a result of the storm. Over the weekend, Chance was reunited with his guardian at OK Humane after their home was completely destroyed by the tornado. Here he is pictured with ASPCA Director of Planning and Field Operations Joel Lopez.

Wonder if it is too good to be true. I paid that for my Syncrowave 250DX (complete package) a few months ago and would love the frequency adjustment of the inverters.
What would be some things to look for to ensure the unit 'would last'?
I asked for arc time and cycles (can these be 're-set'?)

potatoes, peeled and cubed
onions, chopped
2 cups
diced ham
3 stalks
celery, chopped
1 (15.25 ounce) can
whole kernel corn, undrained
2 tablespoons
salt and pepper to taste
2 cubes
chicken bouillon
1 (12 fluid ounce) can
evaporated milk
To be honest, I rarely follow a recipe to the letter unless I am baking, but I did use this one as the starting point for my potato-corn chowder and thought I'd share my modifications because it turned out great! First, I used russet potatoes, but left the skins on for the extra nutrients and rustic feel. I also added some chopped carrots and a couple of cloves of garlic, and used a whole bag of frozen corn. I used chicken stock rather than water and did not cover the vegetables. For spices, I added a good dose of kosher salt and black pepper, some ground sage, and a little crushed red pepper for a little kick. After the 8 or so hours of cooking, I ladled about 3 cups of the stock out of the crock pot, made a roux, added the stock to it along with the condensed milk, let it thicken for about 4 or 5 minutes and then added it back to the crock pot and let it cook for another 30 minutes. It was delightful! Perfect for the snowy day we're having!!
This is a good starter recipe. However, there are a few things I change that makes it a very good chowder. First, I use an extra can of corn and change it to cream style. Next, the ham became too rubbery. So, I now I boil chicken and shred it. I then boil the potatoes in the chicke water for about ten minutes. Then, I mash them just slightly. This makes them much softer and adds to the texture of the chowder. Finally, I add corn starch to thicken the broth. It sounds like a lot of work, but really it's not. It makes fantastic chowder, and I always double the recipe. That way I can freeze the leftovers and have anther meal or two on hand for those days when cooking seems like too much work!

Thanks to all the helpful reviews, this corn chowder turned out wonderful! Used 1 can chicken broth in place of the bouillon cubes & water, added 1 can creamed corn, added 1 clove minced garlic, added 2 carrots diced. I waited to add the ham until there was 3 hours left in cooking time so that it wouldn't' turn "rubbery" & that worked out great. After adding the evaporated milk & allowing the 30 min additional cooking time, it was still a little too liquidy to be a chowder, so I added a corn starch slurry which thickened it up nicely! It tasted good, but I felt it needed a little something, so I threw in a dash of rubbed sage & a dash of marjoram -- PERFECT!! This was SO delicious! Served w/ biscuits & we are looking forward to leftovers. Thanks for the good starter recipe! :)
Great chowder! I would add another can of corn next time though. Thanks for the recipe!
Great Recipe! My husband ate the leftovers and he NEVER does that! I used chopped, smoked sausage instead of ham. Next time, like other reviewers, I will use less water (or canned chicken broth) and real cream, or half & half instead of evaporated milk. Loved the smell when I got home from work! I did all prep the night before; except potatoes, so it was very easy in the morning. I plan on making this one again!
Very good chowder. Here are the changes I made. Added only 1 cup water. Added 2 finely chopped carrots. Only used 1 onion. Used 3 bullion cubes. Added chopped garlic and Emeril's spice. Added a can of creamed corn. Added about 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese at the same time as the milk.
A hearty and easy soup. I added only one cup of water, instead of "water to cover" as the recipe called for. Along with the liquid from the corn and what cooked out of the vegetables and the milk added at the end, that was enough to make a nice thick chowder. As others had suggested, I added an additional can of cream-style corn for more corn flavor.
We loved this recipe. I also added a box of frozen corn and a little garlic powder.

This Towering Holiday Tree is Made of 86 Shopping Carts

"The shopping cart tree symbolizes both generosity and abundance, as well as acknowledging those less fortunate where their whole world may be housed in a cart. We see shopping carts every day and take them for granted. Individually the beauty of an everyday object may become invisible, but in quantity you can't miss it," says Anthony Schmitt of his design.
This actually wasn't the first time that the shopping cart tree was erected – Schmitt conceived the idea more than a decade ago at the request of Abby Sher, the former owner and developer of Edgemar, and the Colwell and Belden families have continued the annual tradition of commissioning the tree since buying Edgemar in 2007.
The 2010 tree is made out of mostly full size carts with some smaller versions at the top to create a forced perspective of height. The carts are supported by an internal structure that remains nearly invisible, allowing the carts to seem like they were merely stacked atop one another and left in that perilous formation.

Thank you inhabitate, I built two trees this year one in emeryville at Bay street
and the one in edgemar which was an original idea of mine 15 years ago. The one in emeryville reflects the agricultural and industry communities, and I called it" the nurturing tree" the one in Santa Monica at edgmar, I called the courage tree…. we have all needed a little courage this past year, looking forward to 2011.
I know that a story ran last year in Melbourne, Beijing London and Tokyo.
Happy Holidays
