Milky Way Cake
I have to say, this cake is kind of ridiculous.
But I have to say something else: ridiculous cakes are the best cakes.
I have an aunt. Her name is Carol Sue. I love her so much for so many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that she's always smiling…and she has the best smile. I also love Carol Sue because she made me this recipe book many, many years ago, and filled it all of her favorite recipes she'd cooked and baked through the years.
Yesterday, I made this. I'd never made it before, and I'd always wanted to. I'd always wanted to, because…well…not to put too fine a point on it…
It contains, like, fifty thousand Milky Way bars.
And that's all the reason I need.
In addition to the forty million Milky Way bars, you'll also need flour…
Margarine. Also known as oleo.
Sugar. Not shown because I'm a dorkwad airhead.
And milk. Not shown, because I'm an airhead dorkwad.
Okay, here come the serious part: melting the Milky Ways…
I'm making t-shirts that read "Bring Back Oleo." Place your orders now, as I expect them to disappear like hot cakes.
I'm also making t-shirts that read "Bring Back Hot Cakes."
I prefer vintage culinary terminology.
I prefer vintage everything.
It'll look really grody as it's melting…
But it won't take long before it all makes perfect sense.
Next, add sugar and more oleo to the bowl.
Yes, I said oleo. I'm practicing what I preach.
Then add the eggs one at a time.
Mix it together until all combined.
Sift together the flour and the salt.
Mount St. Carb! I'm so happy to see you again.
Add some baking soda to the buttermilk. Look outside. See that your dog has an armadillo in its mouth. Reflect on what has brought you to this point. Then move forward with the cake.
…and the flour mixture alternately, mixing until just combined.
Then close your eyes, make peace with yourself, and pour in the melted Milky Ways.
Mix until combined, scraping the sides once or twice in the process.
Turn off mixer. Stick your finger in the bowl. Scrape it up the side of the bowl, then bring it to your mouth. Lick the batter off your fingers. Don't feel sorry.
Note: Can use two fingers if necessary.
Pour the batter into a greased pan. The recipe calls for 9 x 13, but next time I make it I think I'll use a sheet pan or jelly roll pan for more even baking.
Or I might just eat the batter and forgo the cake altogether.
The cake bakes at 300 degrees, which is low and results in a moist, sticky cake.
Same temperature as my Grandma Iny's Prune Cake.
300 degrees is a vintage temperature.
To make the icing, make peace with yourself again, then throw three more Milky Ways with another stick of margarine into a saucepan.
Shocking, isn't it?
And enough milk to make it smooth and pourable. And vanilla, because vanilla is the secret weapon in everything. Except, like, anything savory.
Pour the icing over the cake. This is when I decided I'll do a sheet cake next time. Less poufing and acting up on the sides.
Now, if you're impatient like me and can't wait another second to get this evil decadence into your mouth, that's fine. But because the cake is so moist and gooey, you'll pretty much just have to spoon it into a bowl like a pudding.
Plop some whipped cream (unsweetened, for Pete's sake) on top and dig in. This is chewy and very moist. Wow.
If you're a little more restrained–and I'm not, but I have friends who are–you can wait awhile for the cake to set, then cut it into squares.
Or you can be like me…and take both approaches.
Enjoy this!
And thank you, Aunt Carol Sue, for sharing it with me.
And thank you for your smile. I love you so very much.
I'm having a little glitch that's preventing me from putting the printable here in the post, so here's a link to the printable recipe on Tasty Kitchen. (And it will give you a chance to see the new Tasty Kitchen design: yay!)

LOVE, trying new recipes and this cake looks wonderful. But I'll have to hide the milky ways or buy extra, cause they will vanish. Thanks for the great recipes too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AmberK On Monday, May 23 at 5:26 pm
It's funny, pretty much all of my grandma's recipes call for oleo, whether she wrote them 40 years ago or 5 minutes ago. And, you know what? She mostly just uses butter. Go figure.
Julieann On Monday, May 23 at 5:28 pm
Love, Love, Love your cookbook, it is so precious. I am sure it is quite the keepsake for you:)
…and the cake, WoW!!! Looks great:)
Happy Monday
mattie On Monday, May 23 at 5:40 pm
Much too over the top sweet for my and my family and we do like sweets! This one doesn't tempt me in the least, but that's just me. Those of you who do try it…………ENJOY!
Lindsay On Monday, May 23 at 5:42 pm
Oh my gosh, this looks delicious! The only thing is, I'm pretty sure that this is going to increase my jeans size at an insane speed…
Sara @BakingandWine On Monday, May 23 at 5:43 pm
Oh dear. That is incredibly sinful. I want a piece. I mean… the baby wants a piece.
Sophie On Monday, May 23 at 5:58 pm
Ok this completely threw me for a second, apparently American Milky Ways are like UK Mars Bars and our Milky Ways are like your 3 Musketers Bar ( whatever that it).
It does look really yummy though regardless.
Maree @ SweeterthanSugar On Monday, May 23 at 10:16 pm
How do UK milky ways compare to Australian ones, any idea? Ours are in a blue wrapper, and are just like a Mars Bar without the caramel… does that sound the same? Oh and hello from Australia by the way! *waves*
Julie On Tuesday, May 24 at 8:32 am
So does that mean we in the UK have to use Mars bars for this recipe or milky ways?
agirlfromoz On Tuesday, May 24 at 2:34 pm
I currently live in the UK, grew up in Australia. Milky Ways here are exactly the same as the ones back in Australia. So, I guess if you wanted to make this recipe in Australia or UK, you would use Mars Bars…
Maddledaddle On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:09 pm
I hear you on the confusion. I grew up in the UK melting mars bars on my ice cream, only to discover that I need milky ways to do that here in the US. Who are these people messing with international candy bars?
TiffH On Monday, May 23 at 6:03 pm
mmmm…. Milky Way is my almost fav candy bar…. my fav is Milky Way Dark…. I think this would be fantabulous with the Milky Way Dark….. mmmmm sinfully delicious.
Martha Sue On Monday, May 23 at 6:18 pm
that sounds really great… I make Milky Way homemade Ice cream… it is really good too…
Nana from Midland,Tx On Monday, May 23 at 6:32 pm
My son in law, the vet in Post, Texas makes the most awesome homemade milky way ice cream that would be soooo good on this cake!!!
Denise in Seattle On Monday, May 23 at 6:44 pm
Just a suggestion: Have a file of stock photos for ingredients you use often like sugar, milk, flour, salt, etc… so you don't have to feel bad when you don't take a photo of it. Just pull out the stock photo. And, for that matter, I don't really need to see a photo of sugar, I pretty much know what it looks like.
shari roth On Monday, May 23 at 6:49 pm
i have that exact recipe book, minus the recipe … but i'm going to remedy that soon!! =D
Jerry On Monday, May 23 at 6:59 pm
Looks very rich and tasty.But butter would be much better for our health.
Dorothy On Monday, May 23 at 7:11 pm
Thank you! I used to have this recipe but it called for the fun size bars which are now a different size than they were 30 years ago! It is a great cake. The recipe I had used a bundt pan.
Lisa Lou On Monday, May 23 at 7:13 pm
First, this cake looks soo dang good…nom nom nom. (yes, I work with teenagers…) Second, I love and totally support reintroducing the word oleo! It reminds me of my grandmother…
Laci Mae On Monday, May 23 at 7:21 pm
Occasionally, I know that instead of reading a blog post in my reader, I must go immediately to the actual blog & see it for myself–full screen. This was one of those occasions and now I'm totally craving this cake.
Good thing my birthday is around the corner & I have a best friend who bakes to order on birthdays!
laura @ glutton for nourishment On Monday, May 23 at 7:27 pm
want. now.
Barbara On Monday, May 23 at 7:28 pm
Thank you, Ree, for making me giggle…I am 55 years old and yes, oleo and baking anything at 300 degrees have both disappeared…why????
Lacey R On Monday, May 23 at 7:50 pm
I'm a little disappointed that there isn't a photo of Aunt Carol Sue & her lovely smile! :- )
Ashley@BakerbyNature On Monday, May 23 at 7:52 pm
Oh holy milky way heaven… I know what will be made this weekend. Thank you Ree, for always putting a smile on my face; you crack me up.
Molly H. On Monday, May 23 at 7:56 pm
I've made a similar recipe in the past, although I am not sure if it is exactly the same. I'm not quite as organized as you or Carol Sue, so I didn't compare the two recipes side-by-side. I made it in an angel food cake pan which worked really well. I haven't made it in forever because there are too many diabetics around me but I have hung on to the recipe anyway. Never know when you might need it to make for a bunch of people not worried about their weight or being pre-diabetic. I remember it getting lots of compliments and requests for the recipe.
Heather M On Monday, May 23 at 8:33 pm
You know Milky Ways are also really good to make Rice Krispie cakes with Just sayin
caroline On Monday, May 23 at 8:38 pm
Yummy–but I have to use butter–never buy oleo–too many chemicals!
Samantha R. On Monday, May 23 at 8:54 pm
I love the sound of this cake, and I'm gonna make it for my churches memorial day picnic. But my favorite thing about this recipe is the comentary from Ree, and the comments below it.
-slap yourself silly good
– toast those pecans dagumit!
-words fail me
-bookmarking for 'after' the wedding.
Samantha R. On Monday, May 23 at 8:55 pm
Just to add another
– ….I mean the baby wants a piece!
gdc On Monday, May 23 at 9:00 pm
OMG ,, I didn't know this existed. If I wasn't trying to get fit right now , I would go and make it. Maybe after summer is over and I don't have to worry about getting into a swimsuit.
Shelley On Monday, May 23 at 9:13 pm
I feel like I need to go repent just for reading this! lmao Sounds absolutely sinful!!
brandie On Monday, May 23 at 9:34 pm
first, as the mom of a kiddo with Type 1 diabetes, i just have to throw out there that YOU DO NOT GET DIABETES FROM EATING SUGAR.
second, on to my point: my Gramma Flossie who has a bent "bird" finger that is the cause of much laughter every time we take family pictures always writes "oleo" when she copies a recipe, of which i have several, and which i enjoy each and every time i see them.
third, i would wear that tshirt proudly!
Karen On Tuesday, May 24 at 9:26 am
No, you cannot get Type 1 diabetes from eating sugar, but being overweight (which would be a side effect of regularly eating desserts like this) can increase your chances of developing Type 2 diabetes, which people develop later in life.
kriswithmany On Monday, May 23 at 9:36 pm
I just logged in a tasty kitchen to add a recipe to my favorites. Yay for not taking me to the main page after logging in! I haven't tried searching yet, but I'm excited for the changes I've seen so far. Good work!
And that cake is so incredibly delicious. I meant ridiculous. I can not make it, or I would probably eat the whole thing. Oh my.
Judith On Monday, May 23 at 9:43 pm
I like the New design of the Tasty Kitchen, as well as this cake.
Jennifer J On Monday, May 23 at 9:48 pm
Made this when I was preggers (28 years ago, I have not aged, ha!) Half way though didn't have enough of something. The hubby was watching football and would not run to the store for whatever I needed. Being hormonal I broke out in tears, ran to the bedroom and through myself onto the bed belly first. Never will do that again and have never made the cake again either! too tramatic.
Anita On Monday, May 23 at 9:48 pm
To make this even more ridiculous, add bacon to the top. Now, that would be insane!
Sharrieboberry On Monday, May 23 at 9:50 pm
O-leee-o! O-leee-o! Yes! Bring back Oleo!
Would it work as a soccer chant?
Coco200066 On Monday, May 23 at 10:00 pm
Wow…..I have no words lol……oh yes I do….YUMMY!!!!
Kate On Monday, May 23 at 10:13 pm
I'm with you on the bringing back "oleo". I grew up calling it "oleo margarine". I love it when I see oleo in an old church cookbook or I hear an older woman still calling it "oleo". It's sort of like calling saltines "soda crackers". I still call them soda crackers but I don't hear that as often anymore either.
Sweeter than Sugar On Monday, May 23 at 10:13 pm
Will this recipe work as cupcakes (don't slap me!), or would they be too soft and poufy and not hold their shape? Milky Ways have a different wrapper in Australia (they're bright blue), so are they the same thing? They have a whipped chocolate mousse inside with chocolate on the outside, like a Mars Bar without the caramel… does that sound right? Either way this cake gives me a massive tummy ache just looking at it (in a good way of course). Can't wait to try it <3
Lisa On Monday, May 23 at 10:22 pm
OMG–I would surely eat a couple of spoonfuls of the melted Milky Ways before they hit the batter. Decadent!!!
Krista Hilton On Monday, May 23 at 10:30 pm
My husband asked me if I would do this with snickers bars. I will try it with Milky Ways first though!
Tas On Monday, May 23 at 10:33 pm
I guess it could be worse. It isn't made with Mars bars Mind you, I'd still make it and eat it! Yum.
AlanaG On Monday, May 23 at 10:48 pm
OMG, I haven't made that in so long, I may have to make one for my birthday this weekend
MTAngel On Monday, May 23 at 11:05 pm
My first thought is "why is there no picture of the dog with the armadillo?" or were you not serious about that?
Also, if I can be really snotty for a moment, margarine/oleo is not a food, it's plastic, and should not be consumed.
Finally, I really Milky Way Midnights. Yum.
zoe On Monday, May 23 at 11:18 pm
before my granny's alzheimer's got too bad for us to take care of on our own, I lived with my Granny for about 6 months, as a sort of sitter, to make sure she was getting along okay. When I took her shopping, she would always ask where the oleo was, and I couldn't for the life of my figure out what it was. When I asked my mom, she laughed and told me it was margarine. Talk about generational differences!
Robin On Monday, May 23 at 11:32 pm
Oleo,oleo, oleo…..Years ago when we were stationed in Germany I had a friend who had an old cookbook from her mom. She said to me that there were a lot of recipes that she couldn't make because of this strange ingredient and she couldn't find it anywhere. Yes!!!! It was oleo, and thanks to my Mema who always called margarine, Oleo, I was able to enlighten her.
Izzie On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:14 am
LOL! Do you know whether there are differences in German margarine and US American "Oleo" ? I ask because everybody here uses margarine and I've never come across someone who used butter for baking? Maybe the margarine here has a complete different taste?
Charmaine On Tuesday, May 24 at 12:01 am
o.k. I thought about making this because the way you describe things in the recipe is just so funny, but…..I am trying to lose a few pounds and this won't help!! I know, I know, I should just not look at the recipes you post but I can't help myself….it's FUN!!
Ali On Tuesday, May 24 at 12:12 am
This sounds so wonderful but I'm having a really hard time getting past the oleo. Can't I use butter? I really believe everything is better with butter.
Jamie On Tuesday, May 24 at 12:44 am
Oleo = margarine. Thank you for clearing up one of life's mysteries for me
Debbie On Tuesday, May 24 at 12:46 am
We call this cake the "Halloween Candy Cake"….because we use all the chocalate bars in the trick or treat bags to make it. I like it using Snicker Bars too. (Not too crazy about it when it's the Reeses Peanut butter cups)
Makes we wish it was October already!
Minami On Tuesday, May 24 at 1:46 am
Hi there, just wondering how many calories are in this cake? sorry but this looks a little OTT to me.
Scotland On Tuesday, May 24 at 2:40 am
Excuse me for not going through all 230odd comments. But it should probably be noted that for anyone outside the US the chocolate bars used are known as Mars Bars. Our Milky Ways are more like their 3 Musketeer Bars
Lejla On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:16 am
Why the margarine instead of butter? Is there a reason for it or will butter do the trick?
Jem On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:44 am
Hi Ree,
This dessert looks fantastic, I'll have to give it a go. Keep up the great work, I love your photos. As always your blog is warm, comforting and beautiful.
Lots of Love Jem.
AmandaG On Tuesday, May 24 at 6:45 am
That looks to be of pure evil deliciousness.
Wendy On Tuesday, May 24 at 7:26 am
Ree, This cakes looks so good… but, why the margarine? I would definitely do the right thing and throw that in the trash where all fake food belongs, and use some butter!
Kelly M. On Tuesday, May 24 at 7:38 am
I made this last night and brought it in to work this morning. This cake is DELISH. I made this to get rid off all the things I had hanging out in my fridge… margarine, buttermilk, eggs…
This cake is just awesome… very dense, so microwave it before you dig in. My only comment is that I did NOT have the same problem as Ree – my cake was very high in the middle and sloped down around the edges – so my topping ended up more on the sides than in the middle. Maybe because I used a metal pan?
Beth Heatherly On Tuesday, May 24 at 7:48 am
My mom used to make this for every holiday. She made it as a layer cake. It was beautiful but I have never been able to make mine look as good. (Doesn't matter though, eating it with a spoon is good!) Her icing was made with chocolate chips and marshmallow cream instead of the Milky Way bars. Either way, it is a fabulous cake!!!
Glenda On Tuesday, May 24 at 8:09 am
Well…what's NOT to like…except oleo. I'd probably substitute real butter. Part of my life we had to eat oleo…I remember my Mom mixing the yellow color into that nasty white good to make it look like butter. Never again…I'll go with the real deal, but the cake looks decadent. Guess there goes the diet…once again!
heather On Tuesday, May 24 at 8:33 am
Thanks for taking me down memory lane! My grandmother made this exact cake for me every year on my birthday. She has been gone 10 years and I have not attempted her recipe. Maybe I will this year for my son's birthday.
Emily On Tuesday, May 24 at 8:39 am
My mom still says Oleo,all…………the………….time…………..it drives my sister nuts!! Why was it that they had all these awesome, fattening desserts in the past, but they didnt' have the obesity problems we have?? Probably because they worked their Milky Ways off, instead of sitting by the computer like I would do! Hahahaha!!
Tatiana On Tuesday, May 24 at 8:59 am
Why, oh why, don't I get Milky Way in my country? It's not fair!
Anyway, it looks like a delicious cake!
LeeH On Tuesday, May 24 at 9:17 am
11 whole regular size Milky Way bars? I just can't do it
Mary W On Tuesday, May 24 at 9:27 am
Looks like heaven on a plate – can't wait to try it!!!
Sarah On Tuesday, May 24 at 9:31 am
Might be useful at my next north pole expedition
carole On Tuesday, May 24 at 9:39 am
I said something about oleo to my husband a few days ago and he had no idea what I was talking about!
That cake looks dangerously delicious and my daughter is dying to make it this week!
Candace Tharp On Tuesday, May 24 at 9:58 am
Ree- How do you feel about the buttermilk substitute of milk and a splash of lemon juice?
Lana in South Mountain (ON) On Tuesday, May 24 at 10:00 am
OMG. My birthday is in one month and I want this for my birthday cake.
THANK YOU for this recipe.
Alice H On Tuesday, May 24 at 10:21 am
Mount St. carb! I laughed. This looks yummy. I love cakes that are NOT fat free
strawberry CAKE On Tuesday, May 24 at 10:23 am
You're darn right it's ridiculous! But good golly Miss Molly it is so good. I have this recipe somewhere…forgot all about it. Dang you why do you always make me want food that is gonna grow my middle! I'm gonna pinch you Ree ; )
Nancy R On Tuesday, May 24 at 10:44 am
Sadly the Milky Way is not safe for my peanut-avoiding kiddo, but that looks delicious!
My Mother-in-law's name is Carol Sue. :o)
Julie On Tuesday, May 24 at 11:45 am
Ummm…has anyone here actually made the cake? I see one, I think. Yes, it looks good, but that's a lot of ingredients, time, and money to spend if it just "looks" good. Somebody make it and post about that, please.
Kelly M. On Wednesday, May 25 at 9:44 am
Julie – I did make this – see above! I had all the ingredients aside from the Milky Way bars… I bought regular Milky Way bars in a pack of 6 for $3.50 at Wal Mart – so I spent $7.00. It is SO GOOD. You must heat it up or else it is too dense and the flavor is kind of hidden.
Karen On Tuesday, May 24 at 12:40 pm
LOL. Mount St. Carb. Love it.
Meredith On Tuesday, May 24 at 12:44 pm
Made this last night… sooooo good! Did omit the nuts, but that's just a personal thing about thinking nuts don't really belong in frosting.
My 3-year-old was in Heaven as we walked through the store and her little arms were overflowing with 11 Milky Way bars. Talk about a happy girl!
jan On Tuesday, May 24 at 1:33 pm
Ummm, yummm….as for the dog and the armadillo? Think I'd rather see that then my kitty kitty trying to come through the cat door/window with a large bird in his mouth … surely the bird population is being depleted by now? I'm going to have to buy some milky ways now … uggg …
Naomi On Tuesday, May 24 at 2:23 pm
Maybe it is just me, but when I went to the Tasty Kitchen site, it did not look put together. Is my computer interpreting it wrong? It looked like raw data all put together. Nothing like the rest of your site. I was very disappointed.
Karen B. On Tuesday, May 24 at 2:48 pm
This cake hurts my diet. I feel like i've broken it just by reading this recipe! Thankfully I get one free day a week that I can eat anything…If we had milky ways up in Alberta I would eat this
Margy On Tuesday, May 24 at 2:48 pm
Just the the recipe and all I can say is "HOLY TOMOLY" and YUMMY. Good bye have to run to the store for Milky Ways!!!!
Jane Lustgarten On Tuesday, May 24 at 2:51 pm
Nana Jane I'm old enough to know better, but young enough to give it a try,
will wait till the grandkids come!
Lori On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:00 pm
I have the same recipe book that my grandmother gave me with lots of her favorite recipes. Although, none are quite as decadent as this one! How fun to see that you have the same book and the nostalgia that goes with it.
Mandivilla On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:46 pm
thank you for solving a family mystery, PW! My Great-Grandma's and Grandma's recipe books all have alternations between calling for oleo and margarine. I have always wondered what in the world oleo was. Now I can cook with righteous confidence. Grandmother would be proud.
Jen On Tuesday, May 24 at 3:50 pm
I had to laugh about the Oleo. My mom had given me a recipe and I walked up and down the aisles I thought "oleo" would be on. Feeling frustrated I called my mom…who died laughing!! Butter….A little old lady happened to be listening to my conversation who also cracked up laughing. Who knew?!?! Lol
Krystle On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:22 pm
My sister won a Girl Scout bake-off with this recipe about 20 years ago!
Kristi in the O.C. On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:24 pm
I have so much fun reading your posts. The oleo comment cracked me up. The first time I heard that word I was 8 or 9 reading an old church cookbook of my Mom's. To this day, my sister and I will randonly throw out the word oleo to make us laugh! The cake looks delicious, regardless of what all the negative people are saying about it being unhealthy. This OC girl runs 5 miles a day and darn it, I like to cook something sinful once a week. That is my reward every week for working out so hard. Please keep posting all sorts of foods…desserts, entrees, healthy, unhealthy! And please don't stop making me laugh! Life has been rough for me lately and your site is the one area that always brings me a smile! (Sorry for the long post!)
Stephanie On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:41 pm
Ree, I would totally buy a t-shirt that says "bring back oleo". And I'm a registered dietitian, maybe I shouldn't admit that in writing about a blog post about a milky way cake Thanks for sharing your recipes and life.
Anne On Tuesday, May 24 at 4:45 pm
You had me at Oleo, grandma! Seriously, I don't think she had a recipe that didn't call for "oleo." And she loved nothing more than candy bars- unless it was cake. I'm totally making this one.
Maddledaddle On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:07 pm
Given the frequent appearance of butter on your website I'm most puzzled by the margarine. Can we use butter instead? You know, to make it even healthier?
wanda On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:35 pm
Well Ree i have had this recepie that i cut out of the tribune i will have to go find it and see if it has the same . but i will try it now ..
Kristi from the O.C. On Tuesday, May 24 at 5:41 pm
I love reading your posts! They always make me laugh! I remember the first time I heard the word oleo I was 9 or 10 reading an old church cookbook of my Mom's. Every now and then my sister and I will randomly use the word oleo just to make us laugh! And today you did that for me! Also, please ignore the negative comments about this recipe being unhealthy. (I'm sure NONE of those critics have eaten fast food in the last month or never had a frappuccino!) Keep posting all kinds of recipes…desserts, entrees, healthy, unhealthy! This OC girls runs 5 miles a day and once a week I get a sinful treat. These type of desserts are my reward for working out so hard and staying healthy! A dessert in moderation adds "sweetness" to my life.
Life has been rough for me lately and your posts always bring a smile to my face. Please don't ever stop posting. You brightened another person's day! (Sorry for the long post).
wendy On Tuesday, May 24 at 6:05 pm
Can I ask why you use Margarine vs. Butter? I never use margarine and am wondering if I could use butter. This cake looks sinful! My mouth is watering!
Jennifer On Tuesday, May 24 at 8:30 pm
Cake sounds amazing! I have a recipe that was my grandmas that says oleo. When I was younger I always had to ask my mom "Now what is oleo again?" I will take a shirt!!
Heather E On Tuesday, May 24 at 9:42 pm
I think I could eat this cake and then die a very happy woman. Good grief.
CouponClippingCook On Tuesday, May 24 at 10:43 pm
Wow, this looks over the top amazingly delicious! humm….but I'm trying to lose weight….maybe I'll just cut back a bit on the amount of vanilla since one of the ingredients in it is corn syrup….yes…that's what I'll do.
Midwest Magnolia - Melissa Lewis On Tuesday, May 24 at 10:58 pm
Oh my stars…this is the first time I actually have made something you have made! I don't know why that excites me so, but it just makes me feel good:) You know so much about cooking and all! I absolutely LOVE this cake!!!!!!
Barry Hunter On Wednesday, May 25 at 12:28 am
Ug. Looks. Like. Baby. Poo!
sarah in scottsdale On Wednesday, May 25 at 12:58 am
Dearest Pioneer Woman,
We made this yesterday after reading your post. HOLY MOLEY!!!! A new favorite (one that must only come out for a special occasion, because otherwise I'd be needing to find some new favorite yoga pants!)
And thanks for making me smile everyday when I come to your blog!
Helene On Wednesday, May 25 at 1:02 am
You have no idea how this little Frenchie here was confused the first time she leafed through her mother in law's recipe book and kept reading "Oleo"…
I had no idea what it was and kept wondering why she had written Oleo instead of Oreo and at the same time, Oreos had no place in a spinach gratin recipe…ah!
Love the idea of a Milky Way cake. Seriously my favorite candy bar…!
CJWiggs On Wednesday, May 25 at 6:58 am

How funny! I have that same recipes book – although not filled with your Aunt Carol's recipes – and I love it. Wish I could find another one.
Also – my mother-in-law always uses the term oleo
Rachel On Wednesday, May 25 at 9:39 am
When you said "Margarine. Also known as oleo" it reminded me of something I feel obligated to share. Once upon a time…I was young enough that I grew up calling butter and margarine, well, butter and margarine. So when I came upon an easy cobbler recipe that called for "oleo," I didn't know what it was. I thought it was shortening. I was wrong…very, very wrong. And my cobbler was gross…very, very greasy and gross.
I'll never make that mistake again. *shiver

I have made this cake for years but my recipe calls for a bundt pan and no icing. I MUST try doing it in a pan and icing it! Oh my……………!!!
CharlotteK On Wednesday, May 25 at 12:46 pm
This reminds me of a recipe I made up for my kindergarten cookbook. I called it Candy Bar Cake, and I'm pretty sure this is the kind of thing I had in mind. Milky Way candy bars were always my favorite. I suggested in my kindergarten recipe that you finish the cake by putting candy bars on top. How 'bout some little Milky Ways on top of this one? I think that would about put the Milky Way-ness over the top!

So after you posted this fabulous post I knew I had to try this recipe. I have had a crazy week with my kids and have not had time to try this but finally set the time aside and made this death defining masterpiece at 10pm last night (please note I was thinking of you all while you were in the storm). I could feel the fat going to my thighs and butt as I was making it but I didn't care it smelled so dang good. I thought at 11:30pm that I could with hold myself from trying even a nibble but NOPE I took a great big bite and had to force myself not to get the whole dang thing. I did make mine in a jelly roll. I can not tell you how grateful my thighs and butt are to you this day. I have a friend who gets to try all my stuff I make so when I went to her house this morning to pick her kids up for school I gave her her breakfast she said it was so dang good. So thank you for making me feel it is ok to gain 10 pounds while eating this most fab cake.

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2008 U.S. Army engineers are busy building roads and security outposts that are helping put previously isolated Afghans onto the path of peace and prosperity, a senior U.S. military officer posted in Afghanistan said today.
Soldiers assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division's 36th Engineer Brigade have constructed nearly 200 miles of secondary roads across daunting terrain since they arrived in eastern Afghanistan in March 2007, Brigade Commander Col. Richard Stevens told Pentagon reporters during a satellite-carried news conference.
Those mostly gravel roads "traverse some of the most remote, mountainous and, if I may say, rugged terrain in the world," Stevens said.
The engineers' road- and trail-building projects have connected about 120,000 Afghans living in 34 previously isolated villages, the colonel said.
New roads and trails constructed by the military engineers "not only allow coalition forces to reach areas that were previously inaccessible, they also provide the Afghan people better security, better access to their government, and increased opportunity for commerce," Stevens explained.
Stevens' soldiers also have constructed seven new security bases and outposts in support of the "clear, hold and build" strategy employed against insurgents.
The new bases and outposts "allow the security forces to extend their presence and live among the people," Stevens explained, which is a key tenet of anti-insurgency operations in Afghanistan.
Stevens' brigade also has a countermine element that has inspected more than 40,000 miles of Afghan roadways and trails while conducting 1,200 missions in search of enemy-emplaced improvised explosive devices.
"Their efforts to find and clear IEDs make the roads safer for coalition and Afghan security forces, as well as the civilian population," Stevens said.
Most enemy-emplaced mines discovered in his area of operations are crude, homemade devices of the contact-detonation variety, Stevens said. More technically advanced bombs using radio signals for detonation are rare, he noted, likely because of the effectiveness of the coalition's anti-mine countermeasures.
The 36th Brigade works closely with Afghan authorities during its endeavors, Stevens said, to include partnering with the Afghan military during road building, bridging and demining operations or while conducting construction-skills training classes for the Afghan public.
Teaching basic construction skills to local Afghans provides a livelihood and enhances employability, Stevens said. About 150 Afghans in his area have learned carpentry and other construction skills, and about 30 workshop graduates have found employment with his brigade as contractors, he said.
Unemployed Afghans are more "susceptible to the Taliban's influence," Stevens said.
In addition, Commander's Emergency Response Program funds have been used to build local schools and to fund other community-improvement projects, Stevens said.
"All of these initiatives are done with the assistance of and in close coordination with our Afghan partners," he said.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to an apparatus for determining the partial pressure of a gas utilizing a double bored catheter whose outer tube is permeable to the gas, together with a pump for circulating a carrier fluid continuously through the space between the two tubes of the catheter, together with a measuring means for determining the partial pressure of the gas in the fluid.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Various types of apparatus for the determination of the partial pressure of gases and gas mixtures dissolved in fluids are used, for example, in medicine in the analysis of arterial blood and analysis of respiratory air. Other applications of such apparatus are to be found in environmental protection in the measurement of nitrous oxides in exhaust gases and in the measurement of the oxygen content of standing bodies of water. A still further example of the application of such apparatus is in the measurement of partial pressures in absorption processes such, for example, as in gas separating and in gas cleaning.
An apparatus of the type described will be found in German AS 25 34 255. In this known apparatus which is particularly intended for the determination of gas concentrations dissolved in blood, a catheter is introduced into the blood stream to be analyzed in the living subject. At least one part of the catheter is provided with a tubular membrane which is in direct contact with the blood, the tubular membrane being permeable by the gases and essentially impermeable by the blood. A gas which is admitted into the catheter at roughly atmospheric pressure thereby comes into contact with the membrane and is employed as a carrier fluid. After an equilibrium between the carrier gas and the gases dissolved in the blood has been established, the gas mixture is removed from the catheter and analyzed.
This known apparatus has a number of disadvantages. The use of gas as a carrier fluid represents a certain safety risk upon catheter failure, since the carrier gas can then proceed directly into the blood circulation. Furthermore, the known apparatus permits only a discontinuous measurement since one must wait first for the equilibrium between the carrier gas and the gases dissolved in the blood to be established and then a specimen can be removed from the catheter to be analyzed in a separate unit.
The present invention provides an apparatus for the determination of the partial pressure of gases and gas mixtures dissolved in fluids wherein a continuous determination of the partial pressure is possible. The apparatus of the invention comprises a catheter of the double bored coaxial type having an outer tube and a spaced coaxial inner tube, the outer tube being permeable to the gas. A fluid circulating means is provided for delivering a continuous flow of a carrier fluid into the space between the inner tube and the outer tube. A measuring means is located downstream of the catheter for determining the partial pressure of the gas in the carrier fluid. A mass transfer unit receives the gas after passage through the measuring means and brings the partial pressure of the gas in the carrier fluid to a predetermined value.
The outer tube may be permeable to more than one of the gases dissolved in the fluid or it may be selectively permeable to one of the gases. The space between the outer and inner tubes of the catheter may be divided into separate channels over at least a portion of the lengths of the tubes.
The inner tube is substantially impermeable to the dissolved gas. In a preferred form of the invention, the fluid circulating means comprises a closed circulating system and the carrier fluid is a liquid.
In operation, the carrier fluid flowing through the inner tube of the catheter emerges from the inner tube at the front end region and flows back through the clearance between the outer and inner tubes. It subsequently flows through the measuring means for determining partial pressure and through the mass transfer unit in which the carrier fluid enriched with gas is stripped to a defined partial pressure of the gas or gases. Subsequently, the stripped carrier fluid returns into the inner tube. It is possible, of course, to reverse the flow direction of the carrier fluid.
The apparatus has the advantage that a continuous measurement of the partial pressures can be obtained without further difficulty, since the carrier fluid with the gases dissolved in it continuously flows through the measuring means.
The present invention proceeds on the basis of the fundamental idea that it is not necessary to wait for equilibrium between the fluid in which the gases are dissolved and the carrier fluid to exist. On the contrary, with an apparatus wherein the catheter is a double bored catheter employing circulating flow, it is possible without further means to determine the partial pressure of the gas from the low partial pressure measured in the conveying fluid.
In addition to the possibility of continuous measurement of the partial pressures, the apparatus of the present invention also has a number of further advantages which particularly adapt it for employment in blood gas analysis.
The determination of arterial partial oxygen pressure is included in the most important laboratory diagnostic examinations in the clinical treatment of respiratory and metabolic disturbances, in addition to the identification of the pH value and of the base excess. The relationship between the partial oxygen pressure and the oxygen concentration of the blood is established by the oxygen bonding curve. With a known pH value, the partial oxygen pressure and partial carbon dioxide pressure, all of the important data of the acid-base status can be completely identified.
The apparatus of the present invention has a number of advantages when used in conjunction with a living subject. For one, a liquid such as water or a saline solution in which the gas to be identified dissolves can be employed as the carrier fluid so that there is no safety risk even upon catheter failure. As a result of the continuous stream of carrier fluid passing through the apparatus in a closed circulatory system, all sterilization problems are eliminated. The carrier fluid passing through the apparatus is sterilized only once before introduction into the blood vessel. Risks which could occur due to the replenishment of new carrier fluid are completely eliminated.
Depending on the application, it is also possible to design the outer tube of the catheter either permeable for all gases dissolved in the fluid or selectively permeable in order to achieve a "pre-selection".
The clearance between the outer tube and the inner tube of the catheter can be divided into a plurality of individual channels or capillaries which are connected to separating measuring systems. This enables the measurement of a flow distribution or employing channel walls which are selectively parting membranes, enables the separation of the various gases contained in the fluid.
In any case, it is advantageous to have the inner tube of the catheter gas-impermeable.
The circulating means may take the form of a pump or a compressor but other devices can also be used.
The measuring means may take the form of a wide variety of apparatus for determining the partial pressure. For example, mass spectrometers and/or gas chromatographs can be employed as the measuring means. The apparatus, however, is particularly suited for measuring devices which comprise an electrode operating on the polarographic principles. The advantage of such polarographic electrodes is that they are reliable simple to manipulate, and relatively inexpensive and, beyond this, have a short response time. A further advantage is derived in that the S-shaped curve of the oxygen bonding curve is extremely flat in arterial blood upon determination of the partial oxygen pressure. The result is that extremely great changes in the partial oxygen pressure in this region merely cause extremely small changes in the oxygen concentration of the blood. An impending insufficient supply of oxygen can thus be identified considerably better with reference to the change of the partial pressure than can be identified with a direct determination of the oxygen concentration.
In traditional apparatus, polarographic electrodes have the disadvantage that the specimen to be examined must be agitated. The agitation is necessary since the electrode has an inherent consumption of oxygen and an oxygen-depleted zone forms around the catheter with an unagitated specimen. This phenomenon is generally referred to as the stirring effect. The effect is avoided in the present apparatus since the carrier fluid continuously flows pass the measuring electrode. The so called "oxygen sink" can thus not form.
In the present apparatus, a stripping of the carrier fluid from the dissolved gases to either a partial pressure of nearly zero or to a predetermined partial pressure which can be identical to the anticipated partial pressure in the measuring fluid is carried out following the measuring procedure.
It is particularly advantageous with the apparatus of the present invention to include a bypass through which the stripped carrier fluid or the carrier fluid enriched to a predetermined pressure can be conducted through the measuring means. The bypass, for example, can be provided by a four-way double-L valve or a 3/2 path valve.
A further description of the present invention will be in conjunction with the attached drawings which illustrates several exemplary embodiments thereof.
FIG. 1 is a somewhat schematic view of an apparatus for the determination of the partial oxygen pressure in blood;
FIG. 2 is a chart illustrating the reaction behavior of the apparatus to discontinuous changes in partial pressures;
FIG. 3 illustrates a modified form of the present invention which utilizes the compensation method;
FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment comprising two switch-over devices which are actuated simultaneously;
FIG. 5 illustrates a modified form of a catheter, shown partially in plan view and partially in section, illustrating the various capillaries which are employed for gas exchange; and
FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the catheter shown in FIG. 5 taken substantially along the line VI--VI.
FIG. 1 shows an example which is particularly suited for continuous, intravascular determination of the partial pressure of oxygen and carbon dioxide in a fluid such as arterial blood B. A double bored, coaxial catheter 1 is provided to be inserted into an artery 2. A carrier fluid 3 consisting of a gas or a liquid is continuously transported through the catheter in a closed circulation.
The carrier fluid 3 may be distilled water which has been freed of oxygen and carbon dioxide before delivery into the catheter 1. It enters into the inner tube 4 of the catheter, flows in the inner tube 4 up to the open end thereof at the catheter tip 4a and flows back into the clearance between the closed end, outer tube 5 and the inner tube 4. The carrier fluid 3 leaving the catheter 1 flows through a branch 10a of a four-way valve 10 consisting of a double-L on-off valve. The carrier fluid is directed to a partial pressure measuring means 6 which also contains a measuring device for CO2 in addition to containing a measuring means for oxygen. For example, the measuring means may consist of a polarographic measuring device. It provides measured signals identified at s. The fluid 3 subsequently enters into a mass transfer unit 7 and is stripped of O2 and CO2 in that unit. To accomplish this, nitrogen gas is conducted through the unit 7 in counter-flow relationship to the carrier fluid. Air can also be employed for this purpose. The carrier fluid 3 is subsequently pumped back into the inside tube 4 of the catheter 1 by means of a compressor or a pump 8.
The oxygen exchange unit 7 can be arranged such that instead of completely stripping the O2 and CO2, the carrier gas is adjusted to a predetermined partial pressure of these two gases. This is of significance particularly for the "compensation" method to be described later.
The apparatus also contains a bypass which is generally identified at reference 9. This bypass 9 leads from a first T-union 9a at the output of the pump 8, through a fine metering valve 11, a branch 10b of the four-way valve 10 and by means of a line segment 9b to a second T-union 9c at the input of the mass transfer unit 7. With the switch position of the four-way valve 10 shown in FIG. 1, and illustrated in solid lines, a bypass is thus provided for the carrier fluid 3 which has been treated in the mass transfer unit 7 and passes through the fine metering valve 11. This fluid flow is marked by the dashed arrows. The carrier fluid conveyed by the pump 8 is thus divided with one part flowing to the catheter 1 and another part flowing to the bypass 9. The fine metering valve 11 is manually set once and remains in the open position. The flow rate of the carrier fluid in the catheter 3 is thus set.
The structure and function of the elements described above is set forth below.
For intravascular partial pressure measurements in arterial blood B, for example, the double bored catheter may have an outside diameter of 1.9 mm. The inner tube 4 may be composed of polytetrafluoroethylene hose which is impermeable to the blood gases to be measured, i.e., oxygen and carbon dioxide. The outer tube 5 is preferably composed of a silicone rubber hose over its entire length and is introduced into the artery 2. The silicone rubber has good permeability for the blood gases but not for the blood B. A relatively large exchange surface for these gases is thus provided. With introduction of the catheter 1 into the oxygen-rich arterial blood B, oxygen and carbon dioxide can thus diffuse through the outer hose 5 into the carrier fluid 3 flowing through the catheter 1, thereby enriching the carrier fluid.
The measuring means 6 is constructed in a known way. It can include oxygen and carbon dioxide sensors built into the wall of a tube section. It can be in the form of a polarographic measuring means for oxygen measurement. Conclusions regarding the partial oxygen pressure and the partial carbon dioxide pressure in the blood B surrounding the catheter 1 can be drawn from the amount of the enrichment. The apparatus thereby differs from known apparatus in that an equilibrium need not be established, but only a stationary condition in order to obtain information about the partial gas pressure of the blood after a short waiting time. By the term "equilibrium" is meant the equality of the partial pressure of the carrier fluid 3 and of the fluid, blood B to be measured. A "stationary condition" is a chronological constancy for the partial pressure of the carrier fluid 3.
In the examples shown in FIG. 1, the mass transfer unit 7 is a capillary tube mass exchanger through which the enriched carrier fluid 3 is pumped. The unit 7 is traversed by nitrogen gas in counterflow relationship with the carrier gas as shown by the arrows in the unit 7. In the exchange unit 7, the carrier fluid 3 again gives off oxygen and carbon dioxide dissolved in it and absorbs nitrogen.
The valve 10 can be turned from the position illustrated by 90° around its axis and can thus be switched into the bypass position shown with broken lines. The bypass 9 enables a fluid sub-stream to be branched off before the catheter 1 by the T-joint 9a and to be conveyed by means of the metering valve 11 and the valve 10 situated in the second position directed into the measuring means 6. This sub-stream thus flows through the elements 8, 9a, 11, 10b, 6, 9c and 7. This presents the possibility of checking the partial pressures of the carrier fluid 3 before and after enrichment for stripping. It is thus possible to carry out a reference measurement, i.e., to check whether, for example, the stripping of the carrier fluid 3 from oxygen and carbon dioxide has been adequately accomplished in the mass transfer unit 7. In order to perform the reference measurement, the volume stream through the bypass 9 is adjusted with the fine metering valve 11, for example, equal to the volume stream through the catheter 1.
In the embodiment shown herein, the measuring means 6 preferably comprises a polarographic electrode for oxygen measurement. A glass electrode can be employed for the carbon dioxide measurement. Both electrodes can be used in parallel or in series. As needed, further electrodes, for example, for electrolytes such as potassium, sodium or calcium compounds can be provided. As is known, the current reduced in the polarographic electrode during the measurement is proportional to the partial pressure of the oxygen in the carrier fluid 3. When, for example, air is allowed to stream through the exchange unit 7 in the bypass position shown in broken lines of the valve 10, instead of nitrogen, the electrode measuring arrangement can be calibrated. By fixing the zero point and the measuring point set by the air calibration, the sensitivity of the electrodes can be checked simply, for example, to check the linear behavior of the measured signal s with respect to the measured variable.
FIG. 2 shows the reaction behavior of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 to changes of the partial oxygen pressure in arterial blood. The electrode output signal s is plotted with an x/t plotter as a function of the time t in minutes. The electrode output signal s is thereby calibrated directly in pressure units, namely in mm of Hg. Signal s thus corresponds to the oxygen partial pressure pO2.
Discontinous changes in partial pressure as shown in FIG. 2 in a broken line curve a. Thus, a change of the partial pressure in a discontinuous manner in the medium surrounding catheter 1 on the order of magnitude of the difference in partial oxygen pressure between arterial and venous blood is registered at the electrode in measuring means 6 after about 15 seconds. The final value after reaching stationary conditions is achieved in the carrier fluid after about 3 minutes. This is identified by a point P. Stationary conditions are present beginning roughly with point P. The partial pressure in the fluid 3 flowing over the catheter 1 is thus quantitatively identified as a measured value.
A clear drop in partial pressure, for example, of oxygen can already be read at the partial pressure change rate after about 15 seconds. For example, an alarm signal for patient monitoring or a signal for other purposes can be derived therefrom. Consequently, there is a possibility for taking counter-measures on behalf of the anethesiologist at this point in time. Moreover, a trend in the partial pressure of the blood gas, for example, an impending insufficient supply for the patient, can also be read with reference to the identified change rate of the partial pressure.
While the invention has been set forth with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, various modifications are possible within the general scope of the invention, namely, to employ a catheter of double bored construction and to identify the partial pressure of the gases dissolved in the carrier fluid without waiting for an equilibrium to be established. Instead of distilled water as the carrier fluid 3, other liquids or gases can also be employed. The only requirement is that the gases whose partial pressure is to be identified dissolve in the carrier fluid 3.
The use of a gas as a carrier fluid has the advantage that an even faster reaction behavior of the apparatus is obtained than with a liquid. The diffusion in gases occurs significantly faster than in liquids.
When a gas is employed as a carrier fluid, the described apparatus can be utilized, for example, as a high sensitivity system for nitrous oxide measurement in exhaust gases.
In medical technology, particularly for measurements in veins, it is advantageous to use a liquid as a carrier fluid for safety reasons as well as for reasons of miniaturization, i.e., employing a liquid pump instead of a gas compressor. It is also advantageous in medical technology that the apparatus comprises a closed circulating system since sterilization problems do not occur.
In other areas of application, for example, in environmental protection, it would be advantageous to provide remotely controlled rinsing means so that contaminations can be eliminated. The measuring system can thus be used maintenance-free at, for example, measuring locations that are difficult to access.
The employment of the following evaluation unit is able to recognize a trend of the partial pressure enables the integration of the apparatus into for example, an automatic control system in dialysis, in artificial respiration, and in extra-corporeal CO2 elimination.
It is possible to reverse the flow direction through the catheter 1. Furthermore, the outer tube 5 can be selectively permeable for particular gases instead of being permeable for all gases. The upper end, however, can be made of a material which is impenetrable for gases. The inner tube 4 can also be selectively permeable under certain conditions. However, it can also be made integrally permeable.
FIG. 3 shows an embodiment which operates on a "compensation measuring" method. The mass transit unit 7 in the compensation measuring method can be fed with a gas mixture, in particular of O2, CO2, and N2 which has approximately the same partial oxygen pressure and carbon dioxide partial pressure as the fluid (blood B) to be analyzed. The measurement used for the compensation measuring method of FIG. 3 contains some components in addition to those of FIG. 1. A control is required in the compensation measuring methods since a measured value (the actual value, defined by the gas mixture) is compared to a desired value (the rated value, measured in the fluid) and since the actual value must be constantly approached or followed-up to the rated value. The compensation in the partial pressure measurement is changed such that the oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures of the carrier fluid 3 are matched to that of the fluid, the blood B, to be measured.
The O2, CO2 partial pressure of the blood B is thus the rated or fixed value. It is identified and stored in the measuring portion of the four-way valve 10, i.e., in the illustrated switch position 1. The actual value is the O2, CO2 partial pressure of the carrier fluid 3. It is subsequently identified and stored in the bypass portion of the valve 2, i.e., in the switch position 2, turned by 90° from position 1. The same measuring means 6 can be utilized for both measurements. The comparison between actual and rated values occurs in a regulator means 12.
Since it is only deviations between rated and actual value which must be measured in the measuring system and the deviations vary within a substantially smaller frame work than the absolute values, a greater measuring precision can be achieved with the compensation measuring method.
In performing the compensation measuring method, a gas mixing pump 13 is employed whose output side supplies the mass transfer unit 7 with the gas composition to be set. The gas mixing pump 13 has connections to a nitrogen supply, to an oxygen supply and to a carbon dioxide supply. It contains the actual pump unit 14 and final control elements 15, 16 and 17 in the form of valves. Its final control elements 15 to 17 are fed with control signals from the regulating means 12 which, in turn, is fed by the signals s (actual value, rated value) of the measuring means 6. As already noted, the rated value and the actual value are identified in the measuring means 6 by the measuring electrodes for oxygen and carbon dioxide and are employed for the control of the gas mixing pump by means of the control means 12.
When, for example, the oxygen electrode registers an increasing partial oxygen pressure in the blood, this value is compared in the control means 12 to the actual value in the carrier fluid 3. Where a deviation occurs, a signal is forwarded to the gas mixing pump 13. When, for example, the actual value in the carrier fluid 3 is too low, then, the oxygen feed is increased and the nitrogen feed is throttled by the final control elements 17 and 15. This occurs inside the gas mixing pump 13, for example, by means of servo valves. Gas mixing pumps for these purposes are commercially available. This modification based on the compensation measuring method is also operated as a closed circulation system and, thus, continuously.
The function of the bypass 9 can also be carried out in the manner other than that set forth above. In FIG. 4, for example, the four-way valve 10 can be replaced by two 3/2 way valves 20, 21 connected as shown. Such 3/2 way valves 20, 21 are known, per se, and are commercially available. In the illustrated switch position 1, the apparatus can be switched into a switch position 2 by simultaneous switching in the direction of arrows 22 and 23. This can easily be followed with reference to the symbols indicated in the valves 20 and 21. The valves 20 and 21 represent a first or second switch over means.
According to FIGS. 5 and 6, it is possible to divide the annular channel formed between the inner and outer tube 4, 5 into a plurality of individual channels. In the measurement of the blood gas, for example, a capillary tube bundle composed for example of twelve fine polypropylene capillaries can be integrated into the outer tube 5. This embodiment permits local measurements to be carried out and thereby to draw a balance over a full organ in a medical examination in order to acquire data about its oxygen consumption. It is also possible to acquire flow profile data in this way.
According to FIGS. 5 and 6, the lower end of the catheter 1 encompasses an inner tube 4 which discharges into a closed reversing space 25. The space 25 is essentially formed by a stopper 26 and an outer hose 27 drawn thereover. One end of a total of 12 capillaries 28 lead out from the space 25, the capillaries 28 being equally spaced about the central axis 4z of the inner tube 4. They thus lie at spacings of about 30°. Their other ends discharge in common into an annular space 29 which is formed from the inner tube 4 and a drawn-on outer tube 30.
Two perforated disks 31 and 32 and a spacing hose 33 inserted therebetween are provided in the region between the spaces 25 and 29 in which the capillaries 28 are situated and serve to fasten the capillaries. The capillaries 28 are introduced into the perforated disks 31 and 32 at their edges. The ends of the hoses 30 or 27 are drawn-over the perforated disks 31 and 32. In order to avoid leaks, the hoses 27 and 30 are glued to the arrangement 31 and 32 in any suitable way.
As noted previously, the flow-through measuring means 6 can be formed by a tube segment into whose wall commercially available sensors for oxygen and carbon dioxide are set. Such a tube segment can be made T-shaped for every sensor.
It will be evident that various modifications can be made to the described embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention.

The families of three United States citizens, who were not indicted, charged or prosecuted for committing crimes but were killed in drone strikes by the US government, lost in court when a judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by the ACLU and Center for Constitutional Rights.
"These deaths happened in 2011," according to lead CCR staff attorney Pardiss Kebriaei, who argued the case. "There's a strike on September 30, 2011, that killed Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan and then two weeks later, October 14, 2011, a second strike that killed Abdulrahman [al-Awlaki]."
"It took [President Barack Obama's] administration two years to formally publicly acknowledge it was responsible for those deaths. So that's really all it has done. Everything else has been sort of to indict Anwar al-Awlaki publicly in a series of speeches, but there is very little information still."
As far as the deaths of Abdulrahman and Khan, the Obama administration has given no information about the circumstances of these strikes except to claim they were "not specifically targeted." While the ACLU and CCR argued these were illegal deaths in violation of the constitution, additionally, the families wanted to end the secrecy preventing them from knowing the truth.
"It is just basic to know why your sons and grandson were killed by their own government and that's all they're really asking for in this case," Kebriaei stated.
Rania Khalek of the "Dispatches from the Underclass" blog and I interviewed Pardiss Kebriaei, a staff attorney for the Center for Constitutional Rights, on the Awlaki decision for this week's "Unauthorized Disclosure" podcast. She outlines many of the troubling aspects of the judge's decision in the interview.
During the discussion portion of the show, we talk about FBI agents on JSOC raids in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Albuquerque police department, "Cuban Twitter" and President Barack Obama as this country's "deporter-in-chief."
The podcast is now available on iTunes for download. For a direct link (and direct download), go here. And, below is a player for listening to the podcast without getting it from iTunes:

Some additional notes on the interview:
Kebriaei declares, "They're entitled to constitutional rights and the government should have been held to account by the district court judge."
The judge refused to get involved because it involved national security or required her to question military decision-making.
"This is the refrain, particularly in the DC courts" in the past 10 years, she explains. "Cases brought before for detention, for torture and now for killing, and the common theme in all of these cases has often been because it involves national security, because it is the military doing things, because there is classified information at issue, we can't delve into these claims despite the claims that are being brought."
The judge did reject the "government's broadest argument, which was that the court should have no role." The government "made an argument based on political question doctrine, which is basically that the separation of powers and the constitution require matters like this to be handled by the political branches alone and the courts have no business getting involved. And she rejected that argument."
"She started out saying courts do have a role when the fundamental rights of US citizens are at issue, and we're talking about due process rights here. So she started out saying I have a role and she distinguished this case from precedent that had been brought before, existing precedents in the DC circuit," Kebriaei recounts.
"What she said about Samir Khan and Abdulrahman was that there was no constitutional violation. We brought Fourth Amendment and Fifth Amendment claims on behalf of all three." And she decided there was "no violation because their deaths were unintended."
It was "plausible that United States officials we were suing violated the due process rights of this person when they killed [Anwar] with a drone with premeditation without ever having charged him with a crime," she adds. "But [the judge] then ultimately went on to say I can't actually decide that question. I can't decide if there is a violation and, if there were a violation, I wouldn't be able to remedy that violation."
Rather troubling was how casually she seemed to determine that Abdulrahman and Samir Khan were not targeted intentionally by the government.
"All the United States has said about Abdulrahman al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, as well as a third US citizen, Jude Kenan Mohammad, which we found out about just last year was that they weren't 'specifically targeted.' That to me raises more questions than answers."
The "premise of her decision was these were accidental deaths. They were bystander deaths and that therefore there was no violation because the government did not actually intend to kill them," according to Kebriaei.

About Me Expert
I bought a 2012 Burton Blunt 158 last year expecting it to be like my previous one (2009) which was perfect. Tore that board up after one 6 day mountain adventure. The burton boards these days are extremely soft and ptex damages easily. Bought this board because of it's stiffness and I'm expecting it to make it through the season. It has met my standards so far and appears well build and solid.
I would buy this product again and again

Updated 29 July, 2012
This mod changes and adds to the way the new thermal imaging system is displayed and applied to vehicles in ArmA2 Combined Operations. The majority of ground vehicles have had their thermal sights tweaked in the following manner: gunners have a green thermal scope, and commanders have a red/orange scope (excepts in Russian vehicles, where the commander has the normal black/white scope). The affected vehicles are the Ka-52, Mi-24V & P, UH-1Y, BMP-3, BTR-90, T-90, AH-1Z, M2A2, Stryker variants, HMMWV CROWS variants, 2S6 Tunguska.
-Thermal scopes have also been provided to the USMC variants of OA vehicles (AH-64, etc)
-The following vehicles have been given the ability to zero in their weapons: T-90 gunner & commander, Ka-52 gunner, AH-1Z gunner, BMP-3 gunner, BTR-90 gunner, LAV-25 gunner, AAVP gunner, Tunguska gunner, all vehicle-mounted weapons with flip-up sights
-The driver of the M1A2 Abrams and T-72 can now turn out.
-Changes the name of a few weapons. VIKHR-1 is now 9A1472, and Ch-29 is now Kh-29.
-Stryker MGS has its "commander" position properly labeled "gunner". Stryker MEV can carry 6 troops.
-The commander location in advanced vehicles (T-90, M1 Abrams, M2 Bradley, BMP-3, BTR-90) auto-stabilizes.
-The LAV-25 HQ, BMP-2 HQ and BTR-90 HQ can fire smoke grenades.
-Partial implementation of zGuba's Gameplay Modifications mod (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=7184); only the change to AI fire rates were added
-Imperator_Pete's fix for the Refleks and Arkan missile allows them to lock on to enemy vehicles
-BigMike's Aircraft Built-in Action Menu was added, insofar as the action menus for the C-130J, MV-22, UH-1Y and AH-1Z. His file seems to have dissapeared from Armaholic and the file lacked any readme with contact information. Since his original file was filled with unecessary code that changed the way some vehicles actually worked and wasn't signed, I decided to include some aspects of the mod unless he requests that I remove them.
-When the MV-22, AH-1Z and UH-1Y have their rotors folded, the fuel will be removed from the aircraft to prevent takeoff. When the rotors are unfoled again, the fuel will be returned. Big thanks to Defunkt for figuring this one out.
-Two Stinger launchers and 4 Stinger missiles added to the M6 Linebacker's inventory.
-T-55's cannon name fixed to display the correct "D-10" name.
-proper lock and incoming missile warning systems to the C-130J, A-10, Su-25, Su-34, F-35B, AH-1Z, UH-1H/Y, UH-60, MH-60S, MV-22, Mi-24D/V/P
Known Issues:
Some weapons will not be able to fire at the max range the turret of a vehicle can zero in at. This is because vehicles can't be given different zero modes for each weapon in a turret; when a range is zeroed that is beyond the capability of the weapon, the weapon tends to default zero at 0 meters.

PYREX® Limited Two-Year Warranty
World Kitchen, LLC promises to replace any Pyrex glass product that breaks from oven heat, and any Pyrex non-glass accessory item with a manufacturing defect, within TWO YEARS from the date of purchase.
The owner must follow the Safety and Usage Instructions provided with the product. Please contact our Consumer Care Center for warranty claims. KEEP THE PRODUCT. You may be asked to return it.
Incidental and consequential damages are expressly excluded from these warranties. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation on incidental or consequential damages, so the foregoing limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Pyrex® Glass Use & Care
As with all glass products, you must exercise an appropriate degree of care, especially when cooking food at high temperatures. There are three primary risks associated with using glassware for cooking: (1) breakage due to a sudden temperature change applied to the glassware; (2) breakage due to impact if the glassware is dropped or knocked against a hard object; and (3) burning when handling hot bakeware.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes to glassware. DO NOT add liquid to hot glassware; place hot glassware on a wet or cool surface, directly on countertop or metal surface, or in sink; or handle hot glassware with wet cloth. Allow hot glassware to cool on a cooling rack, potholder or dry cloth. Be sure to allow hot glassware to cool as provided above before washing, refrigerating or freezing.
- Oven must be preheated before inserting glassware.
- DO NOT use on or under a flame or other direct heat source, including on a stove top, under a broiler, on a grill or in a toaster oven.
- Add a small amount of liquid sufficient to cover the bottom of the dish prior to cooking foods that may release liquid.
- Avoid handling hot glassware (including ware with silicone gripping surfaces) without dry potholders.
- Avoid microwave misuse. DO NOT use glassware to microwave popcorn or foods wrapped in heat-concentrating material (such as special browning wrappers), heat empty or nearly empty glassware in microwave, or overheat oil or butter in microwave (use minimum amount of cooking time).
- Be careful when handling broken glass because pieces may be extremely sharp and difficult to locate.
- Handling your glassware without an appropriate degree of care could result in breakage, chipping, cracking or severe scratching. DO NOT use or repair any glassware that is chipped, cracked or severely scratched.
- DO NOT drop or hit glassware against a hard object or strike utensils against it.
Usage Instructions

Minerva Members of the Minerva Planning Board Aug. 7 unanimously approved Verizon's application to construct a cell phone tower here on private property.
Their decision reflected widespread support that was expressed during the public hearing held before the regular meeting.
"This decision is part of a four-year process to get cell service here," Minerva Town Supervisor Sue Montgomery Corey said in a phone interview. "A cell tower is important to our community for three reasons: increasing public safety, promoting tourism and supporting local businesses."
Corey explained that people driving along the highway or in the woods hiking would be able to access help and emergency services should the need arise. It would also be a boon to tourists, local businesses, and residents by providing access to the larger regional and global economy.
"Tourists will be able to stay connected and continue to conduct whatever business they need to conduct while visiting the area," Corey said.
Town officials originally hoped that Verizon would find a site on town property so the town would benefit from additional revenue generated by a rental agreement.
"Ultimately, though, after balloon tests behind the Town Hall, Verizon and the APA decided that the proposed 120-foot tower wouldn't be acceptable," the supervisor said.
After looking at some other locations, Verizon decided on a site adjacent to Sporty's Iron Duke Saloon, on property owned by Donna Saunders. The 75-foot tower will be topped by an 8-foot "cone" that will contain transparent antennas and artificial branches. The coverage area will include Minerva and parts of Olmstedville.
"We've been given to understand that there will be room for another carrier on the tower once it is completed," Corey said.
It could take between six and 12 months to complete the project. Once the final review by the Adirondack Park Agency and the federal regulatory processes are complete, Verizon will finalize its construction plans. The construction itself is expected to take two to three months.

FRENCHTOWN TOWNSHIP -- One woman remained hospitalized Thursday and two other people were injured in a single-car rollover accident on Pointe aux Peaux Rd.
The Frenchtown Township Fire Department reported the call came in around 5:15 a.m. At the scene, which was east of Brest Rd., fire and rescue crews found one person trapped inside the car and two others walking around.
Chief Mark Nicholai reported that the woman trapped inside the wreckage was freed with the use of the Jaws of Life, which helped remove the car's roof, door and other parts. She was transported to Oakwood Southshore Hospital, Trenton, and was listed in serious condition.
Another person was taken to Mercy Memorial Hospital in stable condition. The third declined to be transported to the hospital.
The car left the road, rolled over and came to rest upright in a deep culvert on the north side of Point aux Peaux. The Monroe County Sheriff's Office is investigating.

From a reader:
Rev 20:7-9 mentions Gog and Magog war, how does this relate to what is spoken of in Ezekiel 38?
My response:
Dear Ron,
The Gog-Magog wars of Ezekiel 38-39 and Revelation 20 are two different wars. The Ezekiel 38-39 war occurs in the "latter days" prior to the millennium/ Messianic Age, while the Revelation 20 war occurs at the very end of the millennium. The Ezekiel 38-39 war states the Gog-Magog alliance attacks the nations of the house of Israel while the Gog-Magog alliance attacks a city of righteous saints at the end of the millennium. These are clearly two different wars fought against two different targets approximately 1000 years apart from each other.
