Please note that we start flying to Malta as of 29 March 2015. Check out our flight schedule to/from Malta >>
Malta is a mixture of 7,000 years of history, a living present and an extremely mild climate, which make it an excellent holiday destination for sun-seekers and people interested in culture.
The island's historic past is still clearly visible in the form of the large number of monuments protected by UNESCO. You must certainly visit Valletta, the capital of Malta, with all its castles, palaces and fortresses. Other tourist attractions include the Grand Harbour, which is one of the most beautiful natural harbours in Europe, and the Blue Grotto, a magnificent cave with beautiful underwater flora.
Mdina, the Silent Town, is also worth a visit. This former capital is much older than Valletta and has been able to preserve its typical medieval atmosphere. Away from the cities, Marsaxlokk is certainly a tourist attraction. This typical fishing village will take you back in time and give you a taste of the lively atmosphere of Malta.

Youngme Moon, John A. Quelch
Revision Date:Jul 10, 2006Publication Date:Jul 31, 2003Discipline:MarketingSource:Harvard Business School |

The case 'Starbucks: Delivering Customer Service' is accompanied by a Video Short that can be shown in class or included in a digital coursepack. Instructors should consider the timing of making the video available to students, as it may reveal key case details.
Starbucks, the dominant specialty-coffee brand in North America, must respond to recent market research indicating that the company is not meeting customer expectations in terms of service. To increase customer satisfaction, the company is debating a plan that would increase the amount of labor in the stores and theoretically increase speed-of-service. However, the impact of the plan (which would cost $40 million annually) on the company's bottom line is unclear.
learning objective:
To explore the various meanings of the concept of "service" in the context of a company that is evolving in terms of both size and the composition of its customer base and to look at the links between "customer satisfaction" and a company's sales and profitability.
subjects covered:
Customer retention; Customer service; Market research; Profitability
- Geographic: United States
- Industry: Non-alcoholic beverages
- Company Employee Count: 60,000
- Company Revenue: $3.3 billion revenues

Just a quick note to let you all know that I'm planning a Reiki program for the end of next month. Linda Street of Healing From the Heart, formerly, Spoonful of Reiki, will present a program on Thursday evening, October 25. Registration for this event begins Sept 25, so for now, just mark your calendars; I'll be posting more about this in days and weeks to come.
Beginning October 1, I'll have a display of books on Reiki and other forms of Energy Healing at the front of the library near the Information Desk and I'll be putting together some reading lists and some information about our speaker for you to pick up.
I hope you'll plan on joining us. I know I'm looking forward to it; my mind/body could use some fixing.

Lip Augmentation
My Assessment: In talking with her, the first thing I did was to persuade her not to have a permanent procedure performed. The lip implants are at times palpable and not very natural appearing. There is also risk of infection. The surgical procedures leave a scar and Radiesse is no longer recommended for lip augmentation because of the risk for nodule formation. The second thing I noticed was a slight asymmetry in the upper lips. The left side had a slightly different shape. She hadn't noticed this and was eager to improve the asymmetry.
Treatment: Just under 1.0cc of Restylane to the upper and lower lips. The upper lips were treated to improve symmetry and the lower lip was treated to add fullness.
1 year Follow-Up: She continues to come in for lip treatments every 3 to 4 months.

Once the page is saved, it will show in a list of all pages in that forum. Other contributors can then add to the page in the same way as to other wiki pages. Pages with new messages are shown in the list as bold and with an icon. You can also view recent changes for the forum by clicking the link above the forum list.
[show]Adding new forums
Step 1
A new forum can be added by editing Forum:Index. This isn't necessary to make the forums work, as the two default forums are ready to use, but it can be useful in an active community.
To add a forum, the following code (copied from this page, not from the source) should be added to Forum:Index on your Wikia, after the previous </forum> tag if there are any.
<forum> namespace=Forum category=Name of forum title=Name of forum shownamespace=false addlasteditor=true </forum>
The only part of this code that needs editing is the "Name of forum" after "category" and "title". This can be set as anything you choose, and will show in the index and in the navigation links at the top of each page.
Step 2
Once this is saved, there will be a link to the new forum page. This can then be edited to add the following:

'''Forums:''' [[Forum:Index|Index]] > {{PAGENAME}}

[{{SERVER}}{{localurl:Special:Recentchangeslinked/Category:{{PAGENAME}}}} View recent changes for this forum]

	<createbox>
buttonlabel=Add new topic

Topic
Last Edit
Last Author

Nothing usually needs changing in this text. However, there is sometimes an issue with {{PAGENAME}} in the preload= section (hilighted in red). If you find the template not preloading, change this to the name of the template specifically. So if the Forum name is Forum:Gossip, create the preload template as Template:Forumheader/Gossip and change the preload line to preload=Template:Forumheader/Gossip.
Step 3
The last thing to do is to set up a template to be loaded when someone adds a page to the new forum. This should be at "Template:Forumheader/Name of forum", changing the name to the same forum name you used in the index. This should contain the following:
{{Forumheader|Name of forum}}

Again, "Name of forum" needs to be changed to the new forum's name. Once this is saved, the forum is complete.
As with many elements of Wikia, many aspects of this can be changed. The layout, the template style, the items shown in the index, the new messages icon.... you could, for example, have an image appear automatically at the top of each page added, or have new messages show in red text. It's also possible to use the same code as above to make subforums such as "Forum:Help/technical". For this, the first code should be put into the parent forum page instead of the index. The inputbox forms can also have an instructional template above with the editintro parameter (See m:Inputbox for info).

what? it like double posted and took forever.
Anyway, the evga superclocked 550ti seems like a solid card for the money. I think it is just their normal 550ti pre over clocked with evga precision to a stable over clock. Which is fine with me because I went too far with my 210 (why did I even bother?) and it took like 10 min to get back to normal settings without just crashing right away. If they dont have it in stock, I will probably just get the normal one for $15 less and see what settings other people went to in order to get a stable over clock, then probably go a little below that to be safe.

So for single or dual screens, nVidia all the way.
For more than two Linux users are stuck with either ATI or the even worse alternative of Xinerama.
It doesn't look like Xinerama's a big priority with the Xorg devs though.
I don't really get why Windows users would find that interesting though.
Specifically, Windows 7 does multi-card desktops properly and Linux doesn't.
So yes, depending on how long fglrx is borked it might in the long run pay for me to switch to Windows. I hope to not have to though.
I'd have to agree with the critics. The whole article has a negative bias against ATI all over it. Seriously I thought it was a guest article written by Panix. Also I'm not sure why you are recommending the proprietary driver over the open source driver for HTPC usage.
As someone who does not define their soul by associating to either Nvidia or ATI, I find this article to be very upfront and honest, not biased. Very interesting results, and very timely. The only thing I would love to see is power consumption under load vs idle. That would very nicely round up the review for me.
Thanks for all the hard work and for providing great information.
There's more to an HTPC than being able to simply play back video.
How well does it resume/suspend via hardware alarm? My DVR powers down until it is either woken via network, an input device or a realtime clock event several minutes before it needs to record a show. I know previous incarnations of both ATI and NV drivers had trouble with either the suspend or resume. How are they with current hardware?
How well does the software/hardware stack support 7.1 audio via HDMI?
And last but not least, non-native games. Yes, we all know there are 2 or 3 Linux games. But I find myself playing far more DirectX titles through Wine than native Linux games. Needs to be covered.
Like several other users I have both ATI and NV hardware from several generations in service. For rudimentary 2D usage with no power management either fglr or open source is fine. For a power user fglrx is broken in too many common cases and open source still needs a year or sixty to mature. NV's got a decade head start on ATI when it comes to binary blob drivers on Linux, and it shows.
Ah, you're a good detective. I tied up Michael and hacked his account. In my defence, though, there was a Nvidia employee holding me up at gunpoint. I'm really sorry.
Where is the bias in the article? I'm sure if more tests were done, everyday tasks, you'd uncover more issues.
2D issues seem to remain that are provoking questions:
video playback acceleration via XvBA still buggy....
Random crashes here and there with 3D including when using Google Earth?
Typical complaints on the Ubuntu Forums regarding general usage of Evergreen cards.
The only complaint I can see you justified in having is that the tests were using Catalyst 10.8 (not 10.9) and it seems the general consensus is that Catalyst 10.10 is at least showing some fixed bugs and is the preferred driver right now although not released yet.
So, that is another illustration besides Ubuntu and Fedora. Another distro. Another failure.
So, with the open source fanatics, you still can't use a card released a year ago. I am not even saying that is a complaint (I concede, it takes time for developers and especially when they abandon it to the community) but that the post also illustrates a trend over many distros of this consensus: buggy BINARY DRIVERS and lacking features (including dual monitors). However, everything is hunky dory in Windows! So, even over a year, ATI/AMD refuses to deliver a workable binary driver that is utilizing a Windows tweak anyway. This is the standard and why ATI is more Windows friendly than Nvidia.
Meanwhile you waste all your time on phoronix forums bashing ati drivers, you should spend sometime reading a little. The main functionality for evergreen was introduced during the last month, you need git drivers, 2.6.36 kernel (or even better drm next kernel).
If you don't know how it works, ask, read... but please don't share your ignorance this way.

Once again the Deseret News' coverage falls short. You mention the Mormon
who lives in your backyard and who is well known, and forget the Mormon who has
a better chance of being selected, simply because he isn't as well known
and doesn't currently live in Utah.
What a disgrace.

BMW's new K 1200 R Sport
October 13, 2006 The new K 1200 R Sport from BMW Motorrad took its initial public bow at INTERMOT 2006, and will become the fourth model in the Company's most powerful model series. And as the model designation already indicates, the new K 1200 R Sport is based on the BMW K 1200 R. Perhaps the most essential feature of the new K 1200 R Sport is the semi-fairing mounted firmly to the frame and bearing the same headlight as on the R 1200 S. Integrated harmoniously into the overall design of the motorcycle, the semi-fairing ensures a clear view of the impressive engine and running gear technology. The fairing not only emphasizes the sporting character of this Big Bike, but also enhances its wide range of riding opportunities and general use versus the K 1200 R.

Exploring the Breath in Zazen, CC 6/29/13

Saturday, June 29, 2013
1 pm - 4:30 pm
Buddha Hall at 300 Page Street
Issho Fujita
Breath from the nose is stealthily spreading all over the body.
This short sentence is the only description of the breath during zazen by Dogen Zenji in Fukanzazengi (Universal Promotion of the Principles of Zazen). How can we embody it through zazen practice? It would be a mistake to take a "how-to" approach to realize this kind of breath. It is not a matter of adding anything special to the breath, of mastering a new breathing technique, or of trying to improve the breath. It is to discover the naturalness of our breath.
In this workshop, through lecture and various exercises, we will explore the world of breath in zazen and understand the depth of zazen from the viewpoint of the breath.
Attendees from a previous workshop describe Issho's style:
"Issho's depth of experience is accompanied by an engaging combination of wisdom, warmth, humor and enthusiasm for the practice of sitting."
"He has an amazing ability to teach zazen as a physical opening, as the balance and unity of all our senses."

Sacramentals of the Church, blessed with religious rites, and used to remind men of religion and of God, thereby increasing His grace in their souls. It is said that bells were introduced into Christian churches about the year 400 by Paulinus, Bishop of Nola, Italy. The ringing of bells or gongs in the sanctuary is tolerated by the Church, but these are usually not blessed. The ringing of the tower-bell at the Elevation of the Host and the Chalice at the principal Mass on Sunday is a practise dating from the 13th century, a signal, to those not present at the Mass, to kneel and adore. Bells are not rung from the Gloria of the Mass on Holy Thursday to the Gloria of Holy Saturday, to denote the Church's sorrow because of the sufferings and death of Christ. An acolyte, ringing a bell, precedes a priest carrying the Blessed Sacrament from one altar to another in a church or to the sick in a convent or in a Catholic hospital. A bell in art may indicate and exorcist or victory over demons as the bell, book and candle are elements of the rite of exorcism.

Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0 Customer Reviews

By Tom
Fantastic product!! -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I'm not a runner but was in search of some compression socks. I've been working in the restaurant business for 19 years and have started to have vein issues. I wear these everyday to work and they are lightweight, breathable and very comfortable. I highly recommend them!!
By Kristen
These Socks rock -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I have lymphedema which reduces the circulation in my legs causing it to swell and making running particularly painful at times. With these socks I'm able to run with my less pain and the swelling in my legs has gone down a lot. Highly recommend them.
By MustangSims
I Wear them everywhere and everyday -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0These things are 100 times better than socks and are healthy for you....for people who fly alot its a must and anyone and everyone should be wearing these. For guys who wear boots and your socks roll down by mid day...BUY these. Most people who work on the feet all day should be wearing these daily anyways. And the quality of these do not rip and I have been wearing the same 4 pair everyday for almost a year with no issues...5 star quality rating from me. Thanks this product has helped change my life!
By Old Guy
Fantastic Socks -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I am 76 years old and have run 130 Marathons. I will be running my 40th Boston Marathon next April. Like many older runners the blood flow circulation in my legs especially in the last few years has diminished. I have used other compression socks with some success. But last summer I knew that in order to continue running marathons I needed more help out of compression socks than I was getting. Fortunately for me I saw the advertisement for the CEP-Run 2.0 socks and decided to give them a try. It seems to take me about a mile before I experience the full benefit of the 2.0 socks. Sometimes I can actually feel the blood flow surge in my legs. Because of the 2.0 socks I now have confidence that I will be able to continue running marathons into my 80's.
By Patty
Great Compression Socks -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I ordered CEP compression socks for my daughter who is a cross country runner in 8th grade. She was having problems with shin splints. These socks made a HUGE difference and she wears them now every time she runs. I recommended them to another mom whose son was also having problems with his calves and she said the same thing, he now only has problems when he runs without them. They are expensive, but worth it. I just make sure my daughter takes good care of them!!
By Kristen
Fabulous! -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I love these socks! I have lost over 140 lbs and need something to give my calves more support when I run. These socks fit the bill wonderfully! I will buy more as soon as I am able.
By Maya
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I LOVE THEM!!!! They feel absolutely awesome on my legs. I recommend them to all my runner friends :-)
By Cork
Very satisfied with purchase -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I am a soccer official and experienced a pulled calf muscle half way through the season. A fellow official recommended your product and I am truly impressed. Even though I still tend to tighten up toward the end of ninety minutes...the socks saved my season...and I will continue to use them going into basketball season. I would highly recommend the 2.0 running socks.
By gerard grant
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0I have 4 pair of the socks and they are all in the black color. 2 old and 2 of the newest versions that just came out in 2013. The newest version seems as if the material is thinner, but I have not had a problem with them. I use all pairs for basketball, on driving trips, and exercising at the gym and weight room. My legs always feel great when I wear them and I can tell a big difference when I take them off. Since I am constantly using the socks I easily wash all pairs at least once a week. I wash them in warm/cold water. I never dry them in the dryer. I hang dry them and do not turn them inside out to dry because the foot pad is slightly thicker and will take longer to dry if you turn them inside out. I put them off and take them off as instructed for a compression sock and I believe this will help the keep the longevity of the sock. I have tried many competitor compression socks and these are by far the best. They do not slip down and the sizing guide by calf size has been very accurate for me. I will probably try the leg sleeves next. I give a 4 only based off of the high price. Quality and comfort is a 5.
By Ryan Wills
Incredible Product! -
Comments about Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0My job requires running and being on my feet for hours at a time in an athletic environment. Regular socks were not cutting it for me. After searching for alternatives, I found CEP. These socks offer an amazing level of compression and comfort and provide a noticeable difference to me after I am done working. Fantastic product. Will definitely be purchasing these again.

Development of the AV fistula takes 4 to 6 months after surgery before it can be used for hemodialysis. The AV fistula is the preferred method of vascular access. See hemodialysis under dialysis.
arteriovenous (AV) graft (ar-TIHRee-oh-VEE-nuhss) (graft):
in hemodialysis, surgical connection of an artery to a vein using a soft, flexible tube, which can be used for repeated needle sticks. See hemodialysis under dialysis.
artery (AR-tur-ee):
a large blood vessel that carries blood with oxygen from the heart to all parts of the body.
ATN (AY-TEE-EN): see acute tubular necrosis.
autoimmune disease (AW-tohih-MYOON) (dih-ZEEZ):
disorder in which the body's immune system attacks and destroys body tissue instead of protecting the body from foreign substances, as it normally does. Examples are Goodpasture syndrome and lupus erythematosus. See lupus nephritis.
bacteria (bak-TIHR-ee-uh):
tiny organisms that cause infection or disease.
biopsy (BY-op-see):
a procedure in which a tiny piece of tissue, such as from the kidney or bladder, is removed for examination with a microscope.
bladder (BLAD-ur):
the balloon-shaped organ inside the pelvis that holds urine.
blood pressure (BLAD-ur):
the force of blood exerted on the inside walls of blood vessels. Blood pressure is expressed as two numbers. For example, a blood pressure result of 120/80 is said as "120 over 80." The first number is the systolic pressure, or the pressure when the heart pushes blood out into the arteries. The second number is the diastolic pressure, or the pressure when the heart rests.
blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (bluhd) (yoo-REE-uh) (NY-troh-jen):
a waste product in the blood that comes from the breakdown of protein. The kidneys filter blood to remove urea. As kidney function decreases, the BUN level increases.
bruit (broo-EE):
a whooshing sound made when blood flows through a narrow vessel. A bruit in the abdomen may be a sign of renal artery stenosis.
see blood urea nitrogen.
calcitriol (KAL-sih-TRY-ol):
hormone produced by the kidneys to help the body absorb dietary calcium into the blood and bones.
calcium (KAL-see-um):
a mineral the body needs for strong bones and teeth. Under certain conditions, calcium may form stones in the kidney.

a kidney stone made from calcium and oxalate.
see continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis under dialysis.
catheter (KATH-uh-tur):
a tube inserted through the skin into a blood vessel or cavity to draw out body fluid or infuse fluid. In peritoneal dialysis, a catheter is used to infuse dialysis solution into the abdominal cavity and drain it out again. See peritoneal dialysis under dialysis.
see continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis under dialysis.
chronic (KRON-ik):
refers to disorders that last a long time, often years. Chronic kidney disease may develop over many years and lead to end-stage renal disease. Chronic is the opposite of acute, or brief.
chronic kidney disease (CKD) (KRON-ik) (KID-nee) (dih-ZEEZ):
any condition that causes reduced kidney function over a period of time. CKD is present when a patient's glomerular filtration rate remains below 60 milliliters per minute for more than 3 months or when a patient's urine albuminto- creatinine ratio is over 30 milligrams (mg) of albumin for each gram (g) of creatinine (30 mg/g). CKD may develop over many years and lead to endstage renal disease.
chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD) (KRON-ik) (KID-nee) (dih-ZEEZ) (MIN-ur-uhl) (and) (BOHN) (diss-OR-dur):
abnormal bone hormone levels caused by the failure of the diseased kidneys to maintain the proper levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood. CKDMBD results in weak bones, a condition known as renal osteodystrophy. CKD-MBD is a common problem in people with kidney disease and affects almost all patients receiving dialysis.
see chronic kidney disease.
see chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder.
congenital nephrotic syndrome (kon-JEN-ih-tuhl) (nef-ROT-ik) (SIN-drohm):
a genetic kidney disease that develops before birth or in the first few months of life. Congenital nephrotic syndrome usually leads to end-stage renal disease and the need for dialysis or a kidney transplant by the second or third year of life.
continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (kon-TIN-yoouhss) (AM-byoo-luh-TOR-ee) (PAIR-ih-toh-NEE-uhl) (dy-ALih-siss):
see peritoneal dialysis under dialysis
continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) (kon-TIN-yoo-uhss)(SY-kling) (PAIR-ih-toh-NEE-uhl) (dy-AL-ih-siss):
see peritoneal dialysis under dialysis.
creatinine (kree-AT-ih-neen):
a waste product from protein in the diet and from the normal breakdown of muscles of the body. Creatinine is removed from blood by the kidneys; as kidney disease progresses, the level of creatinine in the blood increases.
creatinine clearance (kree-AT-ihneen) (KLIHR-ants):
a test that measures how efficiently the kidneys remove creatinine from the blood. Low creatinine clearance indicates impaired kidney function.
cyst (sist):
an abnormal sac containing gas, fluid, or a semisolid material. Cysts may form in the kidneys or in other parts of the body. See medullary sponge kidney, renal cysts, and polycystic kidney disease.
cystine stone (SISS-teen) (stohn):
a rare form of kidney stone consisting of the amino acid cystine.
cystinuria (SISS-tih-NYOO-ree-uh):
a condition in which urine contains high levels of the amino acid cystine. If cystine does not dissolve in the urine, it can build up to form kidney stones.
cystitis (sis-TY-tis):
inflammation of the bladder, causing pain and a burning feeling in the pelvis or urethra.
cystoscope (SISS-toh-skohpe):
a tubelike instrument used to look inside the urethra and bladder. The procedure is called cystoscopy.
diabetes (dy-uh-BEE-teez):
a condition characterized by high blood glucose, resulting from the body's inability to use blood glucose for energy. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas no longer makes insulin, and therefore glucose cannot enter the cells to be used for energy. In type 2 diabetes, either the pancreas does not make enough insulin or the body is unable to use insulin correctly. Also called diabetes mellitus.
diabetes insipidus (dy-uh-BEE-teez) (in-SIH-puh-duhss):
a condition characterized by frequent and heavy urination, excessive thirst, and an overall feeling of weakness. This condition may be caused by a defect in the pituitary gland or the kidney. In diabetes insipidus, blood glucose levels are normal. See nephrogenic diabetes insipidus.
dialysate (dy-AL-ih-SAYT):
the part of a mixture that passes through a semipermeable membrane. The wastes from blood that pass into the dialysis solution become dialysate. The term dialysate is sometimes used as a synonym for dialysis solution.
dialysis (dy-AL-ih-sis):
the process of filtering wastes from the blood artificially. Filtering wastes is normally done by the kidneys. If the kidneys fail, the blood must be filtered artificially. The two major forms of dialysis are hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
- hemodialysis (HEE-moh-dy-AL-ih-siss):
the use of a machine to filter wastes from the blood after the kidneys have failed. The blood travels through tubes to a dialyzer, which removes wastes and extra fluid. The filtered blood then flows through another set of tubes back into the body.
- peritoneal dialysis (PAIR-ih-toh-NEE-uhl) (dy-AL-ih-siss):
filtering the blood by using the lining of the abdominal cavity, or belly, as a semipermeable membrane. A cleansing liquid, called dialysis solution, is drained from a bag into the abdomen. Fluid and wastes flow through the lining of the abdominal cavity and remain "trapped" in the dialysis solution. The solution is then drained from the abdomen, removing the extra fluid and wastes from the body. The two main types of peritoneal dialysis are continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis and continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis.
- continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (kon-TIN-yoo-uhss) (AM-byoo-luh-TOR-ee) (PAIR-ih-toh-NEE-uhl) (dy-AL-ih-siss): a form of peritoneal dialysis that does not need a machine. With CAPD, the blood is always being filtered. The dialysis solution passes from a plastic bag through a catheter and into the abdomen. The dialysis solution stays in the abdomen with the catheter sealed. After several hours, the person using CAPD drains the solution back into a disposable bag. Then the person refills the abdomen with fresh solution through the same catheter to begin the filtering process again.
- continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) (kon-TIN-yoo-uhss) (SY-kling) (PAIR-ih-toh-NEE-uhl) (dy-AL-ih-siss): a form of peritoneal dialysis that uses a machine. This machine automatically fills and drains the dialysis solution from the abdomen. A typical CCPD schedule involves three to five exchanges during the night while the person sleeps. During the day, the person using CCPD performs one exchange with a dwell time that lasts the entire day.
dialysis solution (dy-AL-ih-siss) (suh-LOO-shuhn):
a cleansing liquid used in the two major forms of dialysis—hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Dialysis solution contains dextrose, a sugar, and other chemicals similar to those in the body. Dextrose draws wastes and extra fluid from the body into the dialysis solution. The term dialysate is sometimes used as a synonym for dialysis solution.
dialyzer (DY-uh-LY-zur):
an attachment to the hemodialysis machine. The dialyzer has two sections separated by a semipermeable membrane. One section holds dialysis solution. The other holds the patient's blood. See hemodialysis under dialysis.
diuretic (DY-yoo-RET-ik):
an oral medicine that lowers blood pressure by aiding the kidneys in removing fluid from the blood.
dwell time (DY-yoo-RET-ik):
in peritoneal dialysis, the amount of time dialysis solution remains in the patient's abdominal cavity between exchanges. See peritoneal dialysis under dialysis.

Surging Rockies host slipping Braves in doubleheader
The third snowout in eight days Monday at Coors Field put the marquee matchup between the two teams with the Majors' best records (13-5) temporarily on ice, forcing the Braves and the surprising Rockies to play two on Tuesday in a split doubleheader.
Even though the wintery conditions are expected to clear overnight, the twin bill still figures to be a cold one as Tuesday's high is forecast for 36 degrees.
The delay to the start of the three-game series gave each club a chance to lick its wounds. The Rockies had an eight-game win streak snapped Sunday with a 5-4 loss to the D-backs, while the Braves, winners of 10 straight earlier in the season, have lost four of their last five, including three straight.
"I'm looking for a little disruption right now," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said, welcoming the break in the schedule. "We just lost three in a row against the Pirates. It's all part of the game."
Atlanta, however, will be without right fielder Jason Heyward, who underwent an appendectomy on Monday. The club did not release a timetable for his recovery.
Taking the mound for the Braves in Game 1 will be Mike Minor, who has been as impressive as any pitcher in the Majors through his first three starts of the season. The 25-year-old has allowed just two runs over 19 combined innings, good enough for a 0.95 ERA.
The lefty took a hard-luck loss his last time out against the Royals when he surrendered just one run on five hits over six innings as the Braves fell, 1-0.
Opposing Minor for the Rockies will be Jeff Francis. Following a dominant six-inning, one-run victory over the Padres on April 5, the left-hander hasn't been very good since. Francis gave up seven runs (four earned) to the Giants, then surrendered eight runs (six earned) to the Mets his last time out.
New York held an 8-2 lead in the game, but the Rockies came back to win it.
"It speaks volumes about our club," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said afterward. "These guys compete. They enjoy competing, even in extremely difficult conditions. Getting down by six, they found a way to win a game."
In the nightcap, it'll be Julio Teheran for the Braves matched up against Jon Garland for the Rockies.
For how dominant the Atlanta pitching staff has been so far this season, Teheran hasn't been able to keep pace. The right-hander is winless in three starts, allowing a combined 13 earned runs over 16 innings. Perhaps most troubling for Teheran pitching in the high altitude of Coors Field is that he has already given up five home runs this year.
On the other hand, Garland has been fairly consistent for the Rockies, who have won each game the right-hander has started. Garland has surrendered no more than three runs in an outing so far in 2013, defeating the Mets his last time out by tossing seven strong innings and giving up just two runs on six hits.
Braves: Freeman activated, Carpenter optioned
Freddie Freeman will return from the disabled list Tuesday after being activated Monday. The first baseman, who was placed on the 15-day DL on April 7 with a strained right oblique, made three rehab starts with the Triple-A Gwinnett, batting 5-for-10 with two doubles and two RBIs.
To make room for Freeman, the Braves optioned David Carpenter to Triple-A.
In 15 career games against the Rockies, Freeman has hit .351 (20-for-57) with 18 RBIs and eight homers.
Rockies: Helton could end up on DL
The Rockies will be closely watching the health of first baseman Todd Helton, who has missed two straight games and received an anti-inflammatory shot because of a left forearm strain. Helton was not planning to play Monday, and if he doesn't feel better Tuesday, the 15-day disabled list is a possibility.
Helton is batting .268 with a homer and 10 RBIs this season.
Worth noting
• The Braves' pitching staff has a Major League-leading 2.36 team ERA.
• The Rockies have gotten 11 quality starts from their rotation over the first 18 games of the season.
