This wonderful traditional building was renovated recently especially for guests by its owner, who also built our Chalet Arktic and refurbished the Atlas.
The refurbishments combine the rustic warmth of a traditional Savoyard chalet with wood ceilings and panelling plus stylish high-tech facilities and features. The bedrooms all have modern en suite multi-jet showers or hydro-massage baths, built-in speakers for your own MP3 player, flatscreen TV/DVD and hairdryer and some also have balconies. The dining-room and separate lounge also have large south-facing balconies, ideal for watching the sun go down or admiring the floodlit peaks by night.
Set in the most attractive part of Tignes-le-Lac, the chalet is only two minutes' walk from the nearest ski-lift, and offers some of the best views in Tignes, across the lake to Val Claret and La Grande Motte glacier and the Tovière ridge, which is beautifully lit at night.
The owner, one of Tignes' most famous instructors and off-piste guides, lives on the lower ground floor. Approximate Transfer time to resort: Chambery 2 hours, Geneva 2 ¾ hours
We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your own holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff during the pre-season training course are trained to the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health's Level 2 in Food Safety*. For six days of the week our staff prepare all your meals, as described below.
A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff's one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.
Afternoon Tea
The traditional 'welcome home' after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff's one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. As an added benefit for guests in our Chalet Hotels, our chefs prepare a selection of cakes for afternoon tea.
Children's High Tea
In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children's tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.
Dinner in Chalets
A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host – or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets – and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.

I noticed welding with the Syncrowave the rod does not stick as much as it does with Maxstar. Is this because of the OCV differences.? Also, I had the dig function off while making these comparisons. I was using a 7018 rod.

In the RESOURCES, ARTICLES section, search for "selecting a constant current". There's an article describing this. (I can't link directly until the post is approved.)
Well they definitely differ in their arc-initiation and arc-stability qualities, offering a nice contrast of inverter vs. transformer stick machines.
I set my Syncro 200 at 20%+ Dig for 7018 and 30%+ for 6010 to keep from sticking the electrodes. Both light up easier with 80V OCV on the Syncro. The 150S Maxstar tries to compensate for a low OCV ~15V sensing voltage on the cellulosic rods with Hot Start, but can be tough to light off even 6011 on anything but clean, warm metal and a solid ground. I always run it on 230V, same as the Syncro. The 150S definitely doesn't run 6010 very well at all.
The Maxstar's manual shows a huge amperage jump at 40V so it can sense a close arc and keep the rod going by increasing amperage, this without an inductance (Dig) control button. You can stick the electrode on both, but you can reduce it more with the Syncro's Dig control.
The Maxstar inverter arc is smoother than the Syncro's transformer arc with both types of rods once lit.Dynasty 350

I say the tranny is a fuzz better on starts, you get used to it and the difference is pretty minor.
I have run four or five different inverters, and all of them start the arc better than the transformer machines I have used.
Somewhere in the brochure for the Maxtar STL 150 they say that it works best with 6011.
We did not like the way it burns 7018 or 6010.
Its a great tig machine.

As a pediatric nurse practitioner, I know first-hand the impact rural hospitals can have on a community. To bring attention to the support rural hospitals need, I decided to join a 283-mile annual walk from North Carolina to Washington, D.C.
Over 26 states have, or will soon have, online voter registration. The proposed online voter registration bills in Florida and Texas would provide thousands of citizens the ability to easily register to take part in our democracy.
The League of Women Voters of the Austin Area guest blogs on their recent Partner Recognition Award for their voter registration work.
I worked with the Election Protection Hotline to help many voters rectify the issues they were facing when attempting to exercise their right to vote. But it also illuminated how far we have to go to have fair, free and accessible elections for all eligible citizens.
While the League continues to oppose new restrictions on registration and voting, we also continue to work with registrars and administrators dedicated to making elections about voters and their ability to weigh, and not about which party wins or loses.
In Austin, Dallas and San Antonio where I visited last week, election officials are taking a professional approach to training their poll workers and their staff in preparation for early voting and Election Day.
Now is the time to start thinking about how and when you'll vote. In addition to getting ready to vote as you have in years past, voters in many states may also need to show voter identification in order to cast a ballot.
Election Day is less than a month away and Leagues across the county continue to educate and engage citizens. This task has become more difficult as numerous states have passed laws making it more difficult to register, vote and have that vote count. Take a look at what is happening in a few key states.

Buccaneer Baseball falls to College of Charleston, 14-7
Saturday, April 12, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (April 12, 2003) - The potent offense of College of Charleston had big innings in the sixth and seventh frames Saturday afternoon against East Tennessee State and held on to take game two in a three-game SoCon weekend series, 14-7, from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn. With the win, the Cougars raise their record to 21-14, 9-5 in Southern Conference games. The Buccaneers fall to 10-20, 6-10 in conference matchups. For the second consecutive game, the Cougars jumped out to an early lead, scoring two runs in both the first and second innings. Left fielder Brett Gardner led off the game by reaching on an error then stealing second. Second baseman Lee Curtis then reached on a fielder's choice, advancing Gardner to third. Gardner scored on a subsequent single by first baseman Stanley Nix. The next batter, catcher Matt Lauderdale singled to center, scoring Curtis. The Cougars got their leadoff man on again in the second as center fielder Brett Spivey singled. He advanced to second on a ground out then stole third. He came home on a double to left center by Gardner, who would score his second run of the game on a fielder's choice by Curtis. The Buccaneers would cut the lead in half in the bottom of the second, scoring two runs. Freshman right fielder Beau Alford (Johnson City, Tenn.) led off the inning with a single, followed by a single by freshman first baseman Steven Calicutt (Spartanburg, S.C.). The runners each then advanced a base on a sacrifice bunt by freshman third baseman Shane Byrne (Johnson City, Tenn.). A sacrifice fly by junior left fielder Bo Calloway (Knoxville, Tenn.) scored Alford, while Calicutt came home on a two-out double by sophomore second baseman Justin Clear (LaFollette, Tenn.). East Tennessee State scored another run in the bottom of the fourth to trim the Cougar lead to just one. Calicutt led the inning off with a bunt single, moved to second on a balk, then advanced to third on another sac bunt by Byrne. With one out, Calloway singled to left field to bring home Calicutt. College of Charleston took a 10-3 lead by scoring six runs on six hits in the top of the sixth. Gardner walked to lead off the inning, moved to third on a single by designated hitter Mark Lyons, and scored on a double-play grounder by Curtis. With two outs and no baserunners, the Cougars rallied for five runs, capped by a grand slam homer by Spivey. The Bucs tried to creep back into the game in the bottom of the sixth as Alford started a rally with a homer over the right field fence to lead off the inning. But ETSU could not produce any more runs, as the inning ended with the bases loaded after Spivey made a diving catch in center on a line drive by sophomore catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.). The Cougars scored four more runs in the top of the seventh to make the score 14-4. The big blow of that frame was a two-run double by Nix that scored Lyons and Curtis. Nix came home on a triple by Lauderdale, who then scored when third baseman Adam Tolman reached on an error. The Bucs loaded the bases with no outs in the bottom of the seventh as sophomore designated hitter Davis Burklin (Knoxville, Tenn.) hit a leadoff double, junior center fielder Tim Turner (Marietta, Ga.) walked and Alford reached on an error. ETSU scored two runs to cut the College of Charleston lead to 14-6 as Turner and Alford both came home on an error. ETSU closed out Saturday's scoring by plating a run in the bottom of the ninth. Turner walked with one out, stole second and advanced to third on an error. He then came home on a ground out by Calicutt. Cougar starter Reid Price (3-3) picked up the win after pitching five innings and allowing four runs on 10 hits. Buccaneer junior Josh Kite (Greeneville, Tenn.) (2-5) was charged with the loss after also pitching five innings, and allowing five runs (three earned) on eight hits and walking three. The third and final game in the weekend series between East Tennessee State and College of Charleston is scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn.

There are more than 70 different subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma, so it is important to be treated at a center that has experience in caring for people with all forms of this rare disease. Memorial Sloan Kettering's soft tissue sarcoma experts are leaders in providing state-of-the-art diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, caring for more than 1,000 individuals with soft tissue sarcomas each year.
People from throughout the country come to Memorial Sloan Kettering for a second opinion or a continuation of treatment.
We have specialists in medical oncology, pathology, surgery, radiation oncology, interventional and diagnostic radiology, and nursing. This multidisciplinary approach is essential to designing individualized treatment plans for our patients.
The key to successful sarcoma treatment is a correct diagnosis, and our pathologists are highly skilled at recognizing variations in soft tissue sarcoma subtypes and thereby determining the optimal treatment. Our researchers have pioneered the molecular and genetic analysis of many sarcoma subtypes and are leading the search for genetic markers that determine the aggressiveness of tumors and their response to treatment.
Each year, our surgical team operates on approximately 600 people with soft tissue sarcoma, in many cases performing procedures in patients who may not be eligible for treatment elsewhere, using techniques that preserve limbs and tissue.
For people who require radiation therapy before or after surgery, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is now the standard of care at Memorial Sloan Kettering. IMRT offers a greater degree of precision than traditional radiotherapy techniques. We also have expertise in sophisticated radiation techniques such as proton beam therapy for treating sarcoma that has spread to the spine or brain.
We are also at the forefront of developing new therapies for soft tissue sarcoma. If you are newly diagnosed, we may well be able to offer you enrollment in a clinical trial for treatment of your specific subtype. If you have already undergone standard treatments and the sarcoma has returned, we may be able to offer you clinical trials testing new therapies, as well as trials testing new combinations of existing therapies.
In addition, clinical trials are being designed to assess the role of vaccines and novel immunotherapeutic approaches for treating soft tissue sarcomas.
Learn more about how we diagnose and treat soft tissue sarcomas.
- Diagnosis & Staging
Our doctors are experienced in diagnosing your exact sarcoma subtype and determining the stage of the disease.
- Surgery
Our surgeons use a variety of approaches to remove sarcoma tumors while preserving function.
- Systemic Approaches & Chemotherapy
Our medical oncologists understand the subtleties of chemotherapy regimens and will personalize the treatment for the subtype of sarcoma that you have.
- Radiation Therapy
Our radiation oncologists use sophisticated radiation techniques to eliminate sarcoma tumors while minimizing damage to normal tissue.
- Follow-Up Care
After your treatment for sarcoma, our medical oncologists will continue to monitor you closely for any recurrences so that they can be treated right away.

The Formula 1 drivers will have to pick up the pace on the formation lap this Sunday after a warning from Charlie Whiting...
The Formula 1 drivers will have to pick up the pace on the formation lap this Sunday after a warning from Charlie Whiting.
According to reports, several drivers complained that during the formation lap others had been going too slow.
With the those complaints including them being forced to stop completely, Whiting had a word with the drivers.
The F1 race director will be keeping a close eye on the situation this Sunday in Spain and could even penalise anyone who steps out of line.
Spanish pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton admitted that he was part of the problem as he tried different things on the lap. But, he added, those further back also played a role.
He told Autosport: "I'm just experimenting and trying different things because in the drivers' briefing they said there are no rules to how fast or how slow you can go, so I've gone from one extreme to another.
"One extreme was maybe too far, but I am on pole so let's do a little bit of a faster formation lap.
"What you are trying to do is minimise that at the end of the lap when you do have to slow down, how much they are dropping.
"If you start doing your burnouts and get to your grid spot, and have to wait there for over a minute whilst everyone forms up, your temperatures drop and you can potentially get a worse start. That's what I'm experimenting with."
His team-mate Nico Rosberg added: "Charlie clarified it for both sides, so the people further back are not allowed to leave the big gaps and we at the front need to keep up the pace. That's clear and I am sure we will improve."

And excellent, you made the argument for me. Hilarious. Marshall beats women in Denver= lets trade some second round picks for that player! Marshall beats women in Miami= ugh, seriously where did this come from(?), we have to get rid of this guy. We knew Marshall had off the field problems. By investing multiple draft picks, not to mention a monster contract, in him we knew that we would have to work with him on his issues. If i recall correctly, we did not set up safeguards in his contract to protect this team. So clearly Ireland felt he was over his issues. Guess he misevaluated that to. Well played.
The final part comes in joke form. You declare "i stay grounded in reality!!!!"....then cant even count. This is grade school stuff. At this point, i shouldnt be surprised but i still find myself a bit shocked. Anyways, since Jeff Ireland accepted the General Manager position for the Miami Dolphins we have picked 41 draft picks. Where you got this 23 from is beyond me. Maybe you just counted the bright colors that were distracting you. I dont know, thats just a theory.
I would strongly recommend you stay away from alcoholic beverages. As delusional as you are, we cannot run the risk of further neurological disorders. As small a chance it is for drinking to cause that, its really to big a gamble in your case. You clearly need to cling to the small semblance of reality you have left.

If they go back to the AFC title game again this year, then what? Moore hasn't played enough to be considered better than anyone except Henne (and that's only b/c he's his teammate).

Alaska Railroad Offers New Day Trip Option
The Alaska Railroad is now offering a new day trip to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Aboard the Glacier Discovery Train, guests will have the opportunity to experience the unparalleled scenery on the southern portion of the Railbelt and be able to check out all of the new and exciting things happening at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.
New for summer 2014, the Alaska Railroad is offering a rail and wildlife day trip option from Anchorage aboard its Glacier Discovery Train to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC), Alaska¹s premier rehabilitation center for injured and orphaned animals. From June 1-Sept. 14, trains will depart daily at 9:45 a.m.
Passengers will board the Glacier Discovery Train at the Historic Anchorage Downtown Depot and travel south along the scenic Turnagain Arm to Portage Station. From there, guests will take a brief shuttle to the AWCC, where they will be able to see moose, caribou, elk, brown bear, black bear, wood bison, arctic fox, lynx and musk oxen, while enjoying the outdoors against a backdrop of mountain scenery.
"We're always looking for new ways to make travel aboard the Alaska Railroad exciting for both lifelong Alaskans and first-time visitors," said Alaska Railroad Director of Guest Services and Passenger Marketing Bruce LaLonde. "In addition to witnessing the amazing sights along the southern portion of the Railbelt, guests are guaranteed a chance to see some of the state's most renowned wildlife."
After exploring AWCC and enjoying a complimentary lunch, guests will return to Portage Station to re-board the train and continue their rail journey to Spencer Glacier and Grandview before heading back to Anchorage. At 5:30 p.m., the train will pull back into Portage Station, and guests can choose to board a motor coach and return to Anchorage at 6:45 p.m., or continue by train on to Whittier and return to Anchorage at 9:45 p.m.
This new package will give Alaska Railroad passengers an opportunity to be some of the first to experience AWCC¹s newly completed Bear Education Awareness Research Sanctuary, an up-close look at bear habitats.
"We are very excited to incorporate the iconic Alaska Railroad, in one tour, with spectacular Spencer Glacier and the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center," said Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center Director of Marketing and Sales Scott Michaelis.
Tickets are $160 for adults and $110 for children ages 2 to 11. Children under age 2 who require a seat will need to purchase a child¹s ticket, but there is no fee for children less than 24 months old who are considered "infant in lap."
To book, call Alaska Railroad reservations at 907-265-2494, or outside Anchorage at 800-544-0552.

Gabrielle's mother was also interviewed for the piece.

This panorama, photographed by James Blakeway, captures the excitement of a winning field goal for a 'come from behind' victory with 27 seconds left on the clock. The club was founded in 1960 as the Titans of New York and won their first game at the New York Polo Grounds, playing against Buffalo. The well-known green and white uniforms came about in 1963 when the club was renamed the New York Jets. Owner Woody Johnson purchased the club in 2000 and, under his ownership, visited the playoffs a record five times through the 2000s. The Jets delivered the first true home field in their history in 2010 and, are well on their way to delivering the best game day experiences in the NFL.
Sunday Night Football in New Jersey, an emotional 9/11 anniversary eve, tens of millions of fans joining in on the fun across America and around the world, and a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback for victory...it doesn't get any better than this! As Nick Folk's 50-yard kick sails through the goalpoasts to cap off 17 unanswered points to seal a 27-24 win over the hated Dallas Cowboys...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall. From a unique end zone perspective, you see it all: from the action on the field below, to the ecstatic crowd, to the scoreboards, video screens, and unique look of New York's new football palace, it's all here, looking absolutely fantastic for your wall. Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality paper stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official team logo and a brief descriptive paragraph, this is both a beauty for the wall of home or office, and a great collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of any fan of Jets football and big-time NFL action!

Recipe by HJACOBY
"The BEST sangria recipe I've been able to hone to perfection! If you like a sweeter Sangria, use ginger ale in place of club soda."

1/2 cup
1/4 cup
lemon juice
1/3 cup
frozen lemonade concentrate
1/3 cup
orange juice
1 (750 milliliter) bottle
dry red wine
1/2 cup
triple sec
lemon, sliced into rounds
orange, sliced into rounds
lime, sliced into rounds
1/4 cup
white sugar
maraschino cherries
2 cups
carbonated water
The brandy is the key to this recipe! My step-mother (from Madrid) showed me how to make this. Use Spanish Rioja wine. I go a bit heavier with El Presidente brandy and go a bit easier on the fruit juices since that was what I was taught. I can see where some would prefer a sweeter version but me, I like the juice from the fruit to add their signature flavors, not anything else. Make sure to let it sit for several hours before serving. A definite party-maker!!!
I thought this recipe was the most awful thing I have ever tasted. I go to Mexico every year and this was a far cry from the 'real thing'; absolutely nasty, I definitely do not recommend this!

I made it for 50 servings & everyone absolutely loved it!!!! No sugar & used gingerale instead of carbonated water; used rum, not brandy; used peach schnapps, not triple sec. Refrigerated all ingredients night before. Made it early that afternoon & sat container in an ice chest. Added cold gingerale just prior to serving. Sooooo good! Can't wait to have another BBQ to make it again!
This IS the best sangria I have ever had. Definitely needs to sit at least overnight. I omitted the sugar and used 7-Up instead of the carbonated water. FABULOUS! I made three batches for a recent cookout and it was gone in the first hour. Thanks for this definite keeper.
Before I was a nobody. Now I'm famous for my sangria.
A very forgiving recipe! We made this last night for a party, and everyone enjoyed it. (We made it last for an Easter gathering, with boisterous reviews.) Last night, one person switched from white wine to the Sangria and never went back! We made three changes because we think we are "Sangria Aficianados." We omitted the cherries and carbonated water, and added 1/2 cup Peach Schnapps, and substituted diet 7-Up for the water. Aside from the basic bones of this recipe (the wine, oranges, lemons, limes and specified liqours), many variation work. Apples and Pears work. We always add Brandy and Triple Sec and use 7-Up, but if something is not around or we run out, we find substitutes. I have friends who add dry fruit to their Sangria. (I think it is sweeter, but tasty. They used dried mango and pineapple.) This is really a great ice breaker at a party of friends or acquaintances.
Oh my goodness! This is to die for! I made it for a backyard BBQ. My only mistake was making only a double batch! I was shocked to discover that the men would pass on beer for some sangria! Just a tip, it must sit overnight or longer! Also, don't mix the sprite or soda water. It doesn't need it.
I will admit that when I first made this recipe and took a sip I wasn't sure I would like it, but letting it sit for approximately 24 hours made all the difference in the world. The flavors from the sliced fruits really come out after the Sangria sits overnight. I doubled the recipe and it nearly made two quarts. I am not a maraschino cherry fan so I left those out. If you would like, you could add a little club soda to your glass to tone it down for those who cannot handle the stronger flavors of the alcohol. My husband liked this and thinks I should make it again. I concur! Great drink for warmer weather!

IJ on the Individual Mandate
If government-mandated health insurance is upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court after the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) case is argued in March 2012, the Institute for Justice warns in its amicus brief that there will be dire and predictable threats to individual liberty and voluntary relations that have been the foundation of American contract law for centuries. Constitutional law professor Elizabeth Price Foley, who is the executive director of the Institute's Florida Chapter and who co-authored IJ's brief, said, "The individual mandate violates a cardinal rule of contract law—to be enforceable, all agreements must be voluntary. The Framers understood this, and would never have given the federal government the power to force individuals into lifelong contracts of insurance. The Court should not allow the government to exercise this unprecedented and dangerous power." As IJ's brief shows, the principle of mutual assent, under which both parties must consent for a contract to be valid, is a fundamental principle of contract law that was well understood during the Founding era and is still a cornerstone of contract law today. Indeed, contracts entered under duress have long been held to be invalid. Yet the mandate forces individuals to enter into contracts of insurance that would never be valid under this longstanding principle. (For a copy of IJ's brief, visit: www.ij.org/PPACAbrief.) If the U.S. Supreme Court fails to strike down the individual mandate, there will be nothing to stop Congress from forcing people into other contracts against their will—employment contracts or union membership, for example. If we still have a constitutional republic in which the federal government's powers are limited, then the Court should strike down this law. The Institute for Justice's brief is the only amicus brief filed with the Court that examines this case in the context of the history of contract law. The brief illustrates how the Supreme Court has recognized the principle of consent in commercial relations in its Commerce Clause and Tenth Amendment cases, and it explains why the U.S. Supreme Court has a key role in acting as a check against this unconstitutional power grab by the federal government.Read more

Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 129 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyinFlorida Excellent product, so glad I researched! I am a person who researches and researches before purchasing an appliance. Call it OCD or whatever, but I need to feel comfortable when I am buying my appliances. I went (repeatedly) to 5 different store, looked online endlessly through reviews, and I finally decided to bite the bullet and purchase the LG washer and dryer with stands. It's been a year now and I am as happy as I was with them the day they arrived. They look wonderful, are easy to use, and wash/dry beautifully. The multiple setting features are excellent and the quality is solid. I highly recommend them to anyone and everyone! April 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by CAW1218 Great Washer This is a great washer that has all the features you would ever need. The machine spin cycle is at a really high rate of speed but vibration and noise is minimal. We love the color and cant say enough about these machines. The clothes come out of the washer practically dry and it really saves money with the dryer not having to run so long. May 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BBOC Fantastic I bought this dryer and had high hopes for the steam feature (I do not iron nor do I like too) and this has been wonderful. March 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by batman2654 Quiet and effective This is the second LG dryer that I have owned and the quality is superb. It handles large loads and is very quiet except if you have a button or clasp hitting the dryer drum. The rack drying function doesn't work very well, though, as everything still seems to come out wet when we use it. Also be sure to measure all your doors and entryways before delivery because this thing is BIG. Reversible door is a nice feature. Too bad the matching washer doesn't have this. May 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JB Great Dryer We selected this dryer along with the washer because they had great reviews in various magazines who provide reviews of washers and dryers. We switched from electric to gas for the dryer based on previous experience and are glad we did. It is extremely easy to pick the correct drying cycle. Steam feature is great. This dryer is extremely quiet and efficient. March 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by m2leslie Great Dryer I am very please with this dryer. The multiple cycles are efficient and properly dry the various loads. My prior dryer need the be rerun to finish dryer heavier items. May 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gismo36 product has great features & style Researched dyers before making my purchase. Am pleased with features & looks. Almost wish I had purchased washer at same time. March 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by howie Looking for dirty clothes! I gave this dryer to my wife for Christmas with the matching washer. For the next two days, she scoured the house looking for things to wash so she could use it. She loves it! All of the bedspreads and comforters etc, in the house have now been washed with the amazing capacity size of the machines! She loves the bounteous settings for different types of laundry and the ease of using the controls on the machines. Our utility bills are showing lower consumption over the last two months and the quietness of the machines running is like nothing we have ever owned before. Quieter, larger, more efficient, more settings for less wear on the laundry and we now clean and dry our clothes and laundry better than we ever dreamed. I am a happy man because my wife is thrilled with the improved laundry situation in our home which has made me a hero in her eyes! March 5, 2014

Interpretive Handbook
81123 :
Carnitine, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Carnitine and its esters are required for normal energy metabolism and serve 4 primary functions:
-Importing long-chain fatty acids into the mitochondria
-Exporting naturally occurring short-chain acyl-CoA groups from the mitochondria
-Buffering the ratio of free CoA to esterified CoA
-Removing potentially toxic acyl-CoA groups from the cells and tissues
Evaluation of carnitine in serum, plasma, tissue, and urine screens patients for suspected primary disorders of the carnitine cycle, or secondary disturbances in carnitine levels as a result of organic acidemias and fatty acid oxidation disorders. In the latter, acyl-CoA groups accumulate and are excreted into the urine and bile as carnitine derivatives, resulting in a secondary carnitine deficiency. More than 100 such primary and secondary disorders have been described. Individually, the incidence of these disorders varies from <1 in 10,000 to >1 in 1,000,000 live births. Collectively, their incidence is approximately 1 in 1,000 live births. Primary carnitine deficiency has an incidence of approximately 1 in 21,000 live births based on Minnesota newborn screening data.
Other conditions which could cause an abnormal carnitine level include neuromuscular diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, familial cardiomyopathy, renal tubulopathies and chronic renal failure (dialysis), and prolonged treatment with steroids, antibiotics (pivalic acid), anticonvulsants (valproic acid), and total parenteral nutrition.
Follow-up testing is required to differentiate primary and secondary carnitine deficiencies and to elucidate the exact cause.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluation of patients with a clinical suspicion of a wide range of conditions including organic acidemias and fatty acid oxidation disorders
Monitoring carnitine treatment
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
When abnormal results are detected, a detailed interpretation is given, including an overview of the results and of their significance, a correlation to available clinical information, elements of differential diagnosis, recommendations for additional biochemical testing and a phone number to reach one of the laboratory directors in case the referring physician has additional questions.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Increased values may be obtained after carnitine supplementation or meat consumption.
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.
77-214 nmol/mg of creatinine
180-412 nmol/mg of creatinine

Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.

This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
In recent decades, scientists have discovered more about the beginnings of humanity. The fossil record shows a gradual transition over 5 million years ago from chimpanzee-size creatures to hominids with larger brains who walked on two legs. Later hominids used fire and stone tools and had brains as large as modern humans. Fossils of homo sapiens in east Africa date back nearly 200,000 years. Humans developed hearths for fire, stone points for spears and arrows, and cave paintings by 30,000 years ago. By 10,000 years ago, humans had spread throughout the globe. Genetic studies support the same picture. Humans share more DNA with chimpanzees than with any other animal, suggesting that humans and chimps share a relatively recent common ancestor. Also, the same defective genes appear in both humans and chimps, at the same locations in the genome—an observation difficult to explain except by common ancestry. Genetics also tells us that the human population today descended from more than two people. Evolution happens not to individuals but to populations, and the amount of genetic diversity in the gene pool today suggests that the human population was never smaller than several thousand individuals. Yet all humans, of all races, are descended from this group. Humanity is one family.
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
The "Cambrian Explosion" refers to the appearance in the fossil record of most major animal body plans about 543 million years ago. The new fossils appear in an interval of 20 million years or less. On evolutionary time scales, 20 million years is a rapid burst that appears to be inconsistent with the gradual pace of evolutionary change. However, rapid changes like this appear at other times in the fossil record, often following times of major extinction. The Cambrian Explosion does present a number of interesting and important research questions. It does not, however, challenge the fundamental correctness of the central thesis of evolution.
Fossils provide a unique view into the history of life by showing the forms and features of life in the past. Fossils tell us how species have changed across long periods of the Earth's history. For instance, in 1998, scientists found a fossil showing an animal at the transition from sea creature to land creature. This tetrapod had a hand-like fin, confirming a prediction of evolutionary biology. Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.

"When I See The Flag" Written by my daughter, Kate, when she was 10 (she's now 11) When I see the American flag I think of the thousands of men and women who courageously sacrificed their comfort, and sometimes their lives, for the welfare of their country and the people who dwell in it. Particularly, I think of my dad's best friend, Mr. Jeff. He had served the United States diligently in Iraq for twenty-one months, but his deployment was over.

ETSU baseball team helps out at area preschool's field day
Wednesday, May 12, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 12, 2003) - Despite finding themselves in what is arguably the most challenging time of their season, the East Tennessee State University Buccaneer baseball team took time out on Tuesday to help assist with field day activities at the First Christian Church Preschool in Johnson City. Members of the team were involved in all of the day's activities, including face painting, hula-hoop competitions, and basketball shooting contests. The players also took the time out to sign plenty of autographs and pose for pictures with the children. "We want community service to be an important aspect of a student-athletes life at ETSU," said head coach Tony Skole. "We have great guys in this program and they enjoy being around kids and making their day. This is just a lot of fun for our entire team." The Bucs, who are currently 25-23 and enjoying one of their best seasons in recent memory, open a three-game series with Big East Conference member West Virginia on Thursday. The team will then return home to finish their regular season home schedule with five games in six days, beginning when Tennessee Tech visits Cardinal Park next Tuesday at 7 p.m. ETSU will then face another Big East foe Virginia Tech on Wednesday, followed by a three-game Southern Conference set with Furman that starts on Friday. The team will then begin preparations for the Southern Conference Tournament, May 26-29 in Charleston, S.C. Next week, fans are encouraged to attend all the homes games, as each night special promotions are planned. Check out www.etsubucs.com for more information.

Hopefully, the title says it all. I know some app developers say that I should uninstall then reinstall their app if experiencing problems or updating, but I wondered if stopping the app and clearing data via the Manage Applications setting would accomplish the same purpose. I'm running ICS 4.0.3.
Take the 2-minute tour ×

Answer is no, you're not uninstalling the app by clearing the App data.
Clearing the application data is more or less resetting the application to an initial state before being customized based on the application settings, such as preferences, databases.
I am aware it sounds contradictory but the crucial element in this is - the dalvik cache has the pre-cached dex class within the Dalvik VM for the said app.

Graphic Spotlight: StitchesNovember 28, 2009
Stitches: A Memoir by David Small is quickly finding its way to the top of most booklists this year. Hmmm, David Small….David Small…where do I know that name?! SAY WHAT?! He is the author/illustrator of one of my favorite children's books of all time, Imogene's Antlers, and has illustrated like a million others including So You Want to Be President? by Judith St. George, The Library by Sarah Stewart and The Underneath by Kathi Appelt!!! But I could tell by the creepy cover drawing of Small's family (and his Grandmother's frequent use of the word durn), that Stitches was not a story about how he used his wonderful childhood experiences to inspire his art. Nope, I learned quickly that, for Small, drawing was an escape from his childhood of physical and emotional abuse, disease, and neglect. INTENSE. PAGE. TURNER. What I considered most powerful about Stitiches is that despite the important people in his life doing monstrous things to him, Smalls did not portray them as monsters. The work is honest and raw and moving and somehow hopeful.

Revisiting New Orleans - A Photo Essay
As this NASA photo shows, after Katrina most of New Orleans suffered from extensive flooding. Two investigative trips led to worthwhile lessons.
In the months following Hurricane Katrina, I traveled to New Orleans twice to investigate and document the effects of the flooding on the city's buildings. My first trip was from October 5-8 and the second was from December 11- 12.The following photographs document what I found during those two post-Katrina trips.
The photo of New Orleans (see right) shows the extent of the flooding. Curiously, most of the "high ground" in New Orleans was along adjacent bodies of water—the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain—while the low lands were in the middle of the city. Approximately 80% of the city was under water that ranged in depth from about a foot to almost twenty feet.
In addition to the flooding, New Orleans was damaged by hurricane force winds that uprooted trees, downed power lines, broke windows, removed brick facades, tore off roofing shingles, and in some cases removed entire roofs.While this damage was significant it pales by comparison to the catastrophic proportions of the flood damage.
During the early October visit some areas of the city had just been opened for residents to return to view their homes. At that point most houses had not yet been opened, nor had the recovery process begun, although a couple of homes had had their furnishings removed and were being gutted.What struck me most forcibly as I inspected a number of homes was the smell, which was like a Louisiana bayou; the chaos of the interior with furniture and furnishings in the strangest places; and the mold, primarily on the walls above the flood line.
During the mid-December visit some progress had been made toward recovery.A good number of homes had been gutted and the resulting debris removed.The smell that pervaded the area in October was by-and-large gone. However, most of the gutted homes were just that, an unoccupied shell awaiting a major and costly reconstruction process. Some homes in which the primary floor was above flood level were beginning to be reoccupied. However, these constituted perhaps one or perhaps several families per block. The lack of people, especially at night,was spooky.
The French Quarter and some of the downtown had begun to return to normal. The residential areas along St. Charles and near the Mississippi River that were not flooded were also beginning to show signs of life. A parochial school on St. Charles had numerous cars waiting to pick up students in the late afternoon.However, a major hospital and many, if not most, businesses on the high ground still had not reopened.
Life in the "Big Easy" isn't easy anymore.There is much more to be done to revive this city and return it to life. But with that challenge comes many opportunities. The universal question that I heard in New Orleans was "what do I do now?" Hopefully the answers will be wise and prudent.
|This damaged warehouse is locatednear the New Orleans Convention Center. The front wall of the structure is approximately 24 inches of solid brick.
|The Hyatt Hotel and other downtown buildings sustained major window loss (white panels) due to wind-borne shrapnel from upwind ballasted roofs. Several floors received major water damage from the storm once the windows failed.
|The Super Dome suffered loss of most of its roof membrane during the storm. The membrane had been replaced by my second visit in December 2005.
|This is a typical front yard in the Gentilly District of New Orleans in October 2005. Trees were broken and the grass and shrubs were by-and-large dead. A covering of sludge from the flood remained on the walkways and the edges of the street. The smell was that of a Louisiana bayou: wet, decaying vegetable material.
|This is a home in the Gentilly District that got flooded; I took this photo in October 2005. The flood level (scum line) can be seen on the lower third of the window shutters. This house sustained little wind damage from the hurricane.
|This homeowner and inspection team member are about to enter a flooded home. The flood level (scum lines) can be seen on the door and siding. Note the multiple distinct scum lines. These suggest that in this area draining occurred incrementally—about 6 inches at a time—with periods of no change in between. Draining of the last three feet or so appears to have been accomplished without interruption.
|The interiors of flooded homes were chaotic. In this home, major pieces of furniture had been dislocated to all sorts of strange locations. In some homes, these displaced items presented hazards to homeowners as they reentered their homes for the first time.
|In addition to the chaotic interiors, mold was omnipresent. Typically, the lower portion of the walls (below flood level) experienced some staining, while that portion above the flood level was where the mold thrived. Mold growth extended from as little as six inches to as much as four feet above the flood level. The duration of the flood, as well as the delay in reentry (about 4–6 weeks combined), appeared to have encouraged the massive amounts of mold growth in many New Orleans structures.
|In many homes, the second floor was above the flood line and experienced much less damage. In this home, the second floor showed no apparent mold growth, but very high interior humidity levels there did cause some cupping of wood flooring. However, most of these spaces could be reoccupied with little or no restoration beyond "airing out" and cleaning.
|This fairly new home in New Orleans was built with its lowest floor seven inches above the maximum expected flood. Unfortunately, the Katrinainduced flood levels were about four to five feet above the maximum expected flood. The homeowner had begun the gutting and restoration process by early October 2005.
|The sheathing and framing of this home were not damaged by flooding. Only staining of the wood from the flood and high moisture levels remained as evidence of the flood in October 2005.
|The painted gypsum wallboard of this home shows some interesting mold patterns. The dark band in the middle is typical of the mold growth that occurs above the flood level in what is known as the wicking zone. The white mold above that appears to be another specie that developed from the high moisture induced by wet fibrous insulation located in the cavity behind the wallboard. Note the periodic stripes where the mold is absent; these are the locations of the studs behind the wallboard. This picture was taken about five weeks after the onset of flooding.
|The solid cherry kitchen cabinet fared poorly when exposed to flood water. Some of the wood had cracked, some warped, and much of it was water stained. The granite countertops appear to have survived; the only question remaining is what the impact of the contaminants in the floodwater would be on their continued usefulness.
|Even above the flood level, kitchen cabinets were damaged. Excessive post-flood humidity in the home caused panel doors to swell and open-up at their joints. Potentially, these could be removed, cleaned, dried, and reglued, but this would be a labor intensive process.
|The interior of both interior and exterior wall cavities in older homes with lath and plaster walls typically showed no evidence of mold growth when inspected in December 2005 after the home had been gutted.
|The interior side of the exterior wall siding in older homes showed numerous gaps through which infiltration could easily occur. These houses had no sheathing or house wrap—just siding on the studs.Some of these older houses were insulated with batt insulation that would act only as an air filter for outside air infiltrating the house. Other houses had no insulation to slow the flow of outside air to the interior. Spray polyurethane foam insulation (SPUF), which is flood-damage resistant, would provide a superior seal for these super leaky homes.
|This building was severely damaged by flooding and wind. The flood (scum) line is about four feet above the sideway. The unprotected windows were blown in, which pressurized the structure and led to the major roof structure failure. (See the missing roof in the middle of the structure.)
|Elevating a house (notice the one on the left) was a traditional New Orleans approach to avoiding flood damage. The two houses to the right had flood damage in the occupied portions of the homes. The house on the left had water only in the masonry "basement" portion of the structure.
|Side-by-side shotgun homes—one elevated (right) the other not—show the advantages that adhering to traditional design solutions can sometimes bring. The flood level (scum line) can be clearly seen on the house on the left. This house had to be gutted and rebuilt. The house on the right will require only cleaning out of the basement portion. The elevated house's exterior electric panel was below flood level and will require replacement.
|Flooding at this location barely reached the lower floor level. However, the water appears to have induced subsidence under the corner of the structure. This type of structural problem is another of the challenges created by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
|Water damage to homes also occurred as a result of roof damage. This flood-damaged home had several roof leaks, which caused mold and high moisture readings on the second floor and even on the first floor.
Significant mold growth occurred in this closet even though the flood only reached several inches above floor level. The backside of this wallboard (see photo below) was the only location where mold growth inside a wall cavity was confirmed.
Inspection of these exterior, insulated wall cavities revealed no damage to the studs and plywood sheathing. The fiberglass insulation was also undamaged. However, moisture levels of adjacent materials were elevated. The back side of the gypsum wallboard showed no evidence of mold growth.
|While significant mold growth occurred in this closet behind the wallboard (see photo above left), this location was the only confirmed instance of mold growing within a wall cavity as a result of the flooding. Other wall cavities (both wallboard and lath and plaster) showed no evidence of mold growth.

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Matt Cain spun seven scoreless innings to guide the playoff-bound San Francisco Giants to a 6-0 triumph over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
Cain (16-5) allowed four runs and struck out six en route to his sixth win in nine starts. Cain reached the 16-win plateau for the first time in his career with the win.
"Cain shut us down," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "He could throw any pitch at any time to any place he wants. We didn't swing the bats well at all."
Pablo Sandoval went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI and Buster Posey drove in a run for the Giants, who have won 11 of their last 14 overall.
Posey became the third catcher in franchise history to tally 100 RBI in a season.
"That's quite a milestone, especially for a catcher. Those guys have to take a lot of time off and they get banged up pretty good back there," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of the accomplishment.
Wade Miley (16-11) allowed four runs -- three earned -- on six hits and struck out three over four innings.
The D'backs trail the St. Louis Cardinals by 5 1/2 games for the final wild card spot in the NL.
San Francisco scored a pair of runs in both the third and fourth innings.
In the third, Cain singled and Angel Pagan walked before moving up on Marco Scutaro's sacrifice bunt. Sandoval followed with a base hit to plate Cain before Pagan scored on Posey's single to left field.
Brandon Belt opened the fourth with a triple and Brandon Crawford walked before Cain reached on a fielding error to load the bases. Scutaro's single plated Belt before Crawford scored on Sandoval's ground out.
Cain's RBI single in the fifth scored Hunter Pence to push the Giants' lead to 5-0 and Scuatro scored on a wild pitch in the eighth to cap the scoring.
Cain is 6-0 over his last nine starts and has allowed two or fewer runs in
each of his last four outings ... San Francisco is 7-2 on a 10-game homestand
... Arizona is 40-40 on the road this season and will conclude its final road-
trip of the season Thursday.
