What are electrolytes?
Chemically, electrolytes are substances that become ions in solution and acquire the capacity to conduct electricity. Electrolytes are present in the human body, and the balance of the electrolytes in our bodies is essential for normal function of our cells and our organs.
Common electrolytes that are measured by doctors with blood testing include sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate. The functions and normal range values for these electrolytes are described below.
Sodium is the major positive ion (cation) in fluid outside of cells. The chemical notation for sodium is Na+. When combined with chloride, the resulting substance is table salt. Excess sodium (such as that obtained from dietary sources) is excreted in the urine. Sodium regulates the total amount of water in the body and the transmission of sodium into and out of individual cells also plays a role in critical body functions. Many processes in the body, especially in the brain, nervous system, and muscles, require electrical signals for communication. The movement of sodium is critical in generation of these electrical signals. Therefore, too much or too little sodium can cause cells to malfunction, and extremes in the blood sodium levels (too much or too little) can be fatal.
A Normal blood sodium level is 135 - 145 milliEquivalents/liter (mEq/L), or in international units, 135 - 145 millimoles/liter (mmol/L).
Potassium is the major positive ion (cation) found inside of cells. The chemical notation for potassium is K+. The proper level of potassium is essential for normal cell function. Among the many functions of potassium in the body are regulation of the heartbeat and the function of the muscles. A seriously abnormal increase in potassium (hyperkalemia) or decrease in potassium (hypokalemia) can profoundly affect the nervous system and increases the chance of irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias), which, when extreme, can be fatal.
The normal blood potassium level is 3.5 - 5.0 milliEquivalents/liter (mEq/L), or in international units, 3.5 - 5.0 millimoles/liter (mmol/L).

Omigosh dbf's has the WORST phone ettiquette ever. He called me three times in an hour tonight. Right during bath/teeth brushing/story choosing, pj wrangling aka total chaos. First time he is walking into a crowded restaurant so saying "pardon me" type things as he's walking in. Then he has to talk to the hostess, he's perusing the menu to see prices and then he's like, "I gotta go, babe. These prices are outrageous. Call ya back." Second time he's driving so his navigation voice is talking while he's talking. Third is to tell me he's lost and that could I believe that an appetizer was $45 dollars at that first place? "Ok, I'll call you when I get somewhere."
STOP calling me! lol. I mean, wait until you are somewhere quiet and you have a freaking moment. Can you imagine calling someone as you are walking into a restaurant to eat? We gonna have to have a chat when he gets home.
Savana decided not to do piano anymore. The past few times that I have reminded the kids that lessons are coming up, they groan. So I let them know that they asked for these lessons and would like they like to choose a different instrument, a sport perhaps? To which they both responded that they were doing piano to make me happy. While I appreciate the effort, I would like them to do something that makes them happy so I told them they had until yesterday morning to let me know. Kai said he IS doing it only to make me happy but he would like to continue to make me happy. Savana said she doesn't want to do it and asked me a dozen times if that was ok while closely watching my facial reaction. I finally took her little face in mine and said, "It's ok. I promise. Find something you love and let me know when you do and I'll help you figure out how to be great at it." To which she told me she is going to invent her own songs and that she'd like to do swimming lessons.
The daycare family I was telling you guys about, they are going to stay until school is out, which is good as they showed up here monday very forlorn because mom was going to look at a new daycare for them. Mom said her oldest wasn't even speaking to her because of it. The county STILL has not even sent me the timesheets for the past 3mos. They kept telling me that the mom wasn't working the hours her kids were in daycare which I knew wasn't accurate since I've known her for years and I call her at work and I just KNOW she's working. When she finally got ahold of her caseworker she said she'd get the timesheets out, "in a few days." I am going to look into who I can talk to about this because I called the supervisor and she was so rude and condenscending. I need to go above her. This is ridiculous for me to wait this long for payment and whenever I call to inquire they act like I am trying to steal from them.

Oh Bridget!!! That system just pisses me the F off! WTF are they trying to do?! Your poor family And you. I know it must be a struggle to provide services for (as yet) free. You're such a good soul. I cannot help but believe somehow, some day, you will be rewarded for this.

Hi Aelith! Why the kibosh on chili?
That recipe looks amazingly good, Mylah. That may be right up my alley - I'm trying to limit carbs as much as possible and that might satisfy my carb cravings a bit. I have found that if I eat bread or other carby-carbs I get incredibly hungry the next day. Like I cannot eat enough to feel full even though I am stuffed, if that makes sense.
I treated myself to some silk underwear and silk slip-shorts for summer! I am super-excited to wear those slip-shorts. One thing about this weight gain that drives me crazy is that when it is hot, my thick thighs start rubbing together in a really annoying way and it is so uncomfortable. So I can wear these slip-shorts under dresses and not have my thighs rub together! Yay! I hope it works.
So the chickpeas didn't work out so well. I did the recommended time and they were still not crunchy all the way through, and I really needed them to be because the texture of chickpeas bothers me. So I put them back in for another 7 minutes but kind of lost track of time. The cinnamon ones were smoking balls of charcoal by the time I remembered. The savory ones were just on the wrong side of done, but I could still kind of get the idea. I think next time I will toast them for 15 minutes and then coat them in the seasonings and put them back in. That way I can get them good and crunchy without burning them up.

He is a freaking trip isn't he? I just hang up the phone and shake my head.
I will admit I am getting really nervous that they will find a way or reason not to back pay me. I only became officially certified 5 weeks ago but I was assured countless times by my certifier that it's common practice to start care while you are in the process and they back pay. But she also said it would be no problem and when I talked to her last week she said it would be done by the end of the day. So...she's blowing smoke up my arse at least to a certain extent. The redeeming part of it all is that I do really, really love these kids and they are so wonderful to mine so having them here is a very positive thing for our family.
My experience with roasted chick peas has been hit or miss too! When they were good they were really good. But when they were bad, ew.
That is crazy Bridget. Can you just keep calling them every day until they send you the papers you need?
How long did the kids do piano? I agree that they should find something they love or at least enjoy. But I will also say from my experience....it wasn't until I could actually play some things that I liked the viola. And I certainly didn't love it every time I practiced. It was often frustrating. But man there was nothing like finally getting it and being able to make beautiful music. That just takes a lot of time. When all I could do was scratch out hot cross buns....wasn't that fun.
I was so irritated last night and still am this morning. My agency has a FB group for waiting families. Someone announced about 6 weeks ago that she had a match. Baby was born around April 10th. And she has been waiting about 5 months than me....which happens since it's not matched on who has been waiting the longest. So last night she changes her profile picture to an ultrasound....I'm not sure how far along but definitely second trimester. We are supposed to tell the agency if we turn up pg and you are taken off the books and into a holding pattern until after the baby is born. Which is what the others we knew who turned up pg while waiting did.
Oh Bridget, your kids are so sweet! I know the type of person who always calls at weird times. I always see people on the phone while they're ordering coffee or are doing something at the post office and it's like, really?
Yesterday Josh told me he has to do too much around the house. We usually ask him to let Bo out to pee and bring his dishes to the kitchen after we eat. That's it. "But you make me do it EVERY DAY!" he wailed.
Katy, those slip shorts sound nice. Sorry the chick peas didn't work out very well, maybe you could boil them first so you wouldn't have to roast them for so long?
B I also think it is important that children do an activity they enjoy and at least give it a good faith effort, if they don't like it after they've really tried, time to try something new! I think S will love swimming and it is great exercise! Also, the system sucks and I hope they get the papers out to you soon, ridiculous that you have to go through that!!
People come into the credit union talking on their cell phones all the time. I've even been shooshed a time or two when I ask a question during their transaction. I than repeat the question a bit louder
Jennifer I can't thank you enough for the consumer reports! I was looking them over and talking to my mom about getting a blood pressure monitor when she mentioned she had bought one a while back, just so happens it was one that the report recommended I can definitely tell a difference in my BP after relaxing for a bit in the evenings vs if I take it in the middle of the work day (I keep telling hubs I need to quit my job its too stressful for me and the baby ) The past two nights my BP has been mere points away from a perfect 120/80 Very, very excited and hope it continues!
Yeah I was looking at the dates and am thinking it was probably just the timing. Might not have known when the match was made or maybe she had a history of miscarriage and just assumed this would end too. I don't really know. And the birth mom picked them and maybe she would be happy to have a sibling for the baby or maybe she is annoyed that her baby will not be the only baby after just a few short months.
It's just annoying for those of still waiting.
You're welcome! I'm glad that it helped. I knew that they generally did reviews of those every year. I have looked for those before...that and glucose monitors. Definitely helps when you are relaxed and not stressed or nervous!
Probably nothing Kate unless the birth mom changes her mind if they haven't been to court yet. In WI they have to go to court to terminate rights and you cannot petition for a date until after the baby is born. So generally it takes 3-5 weeks after the birth to terminate. Up until that point, birth mom can change her mind. Generally baby is in a bridge care home until the court date.
That's such a mess, Jennifer. It's understandable why anybody in line for a baby would be upset about her profile picture.
That's so upsetting, Jennifer. And to post that as her photo without letting people know about it beforehand. I might just take her to task and ask her outright what the deal is.
Kate - the chickpeas were canned, so already cooked. Maybe our oven temp is off - I may try it again sometime. Frustrating because it took f.o.r.e.v.e.r to peel them and then I just burned them all up.
I hope you get paid, B.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
B, I'm keeping my fingers crossed too that you get paid. It's so frustrating when you feel like it's all in the hands of some faceless bureaucracy. At least that's how I felt when I was waiting to get paid for Disability and Family Leave by the state. Hugs to you!
I'd like to share this other recent nugget from my Catch-22 life at the office:
Isn't that lovely?Me: Apparently, <this one stats group> used to be contacted every year by (this other team) to find out how many licenses they needed for a particular system (which they share with the other team), and no one contacted them this year. So theyve been operating without proper licenses. S (the director of the stats gp) told me A (from the other team) was the one who used to poll her every year for the # of needed licenses. But S cant remember what specific system it was they were purchasing licenses for.
Boss: Yes, A has moved on to another department. What system were the licenses for?
Me: Im not sure. I asked S and as I mentioned above she was uncertain.
Boss: Ask S again.
Me: She doesnt recall. Id like to contact A for clarity. A was the system owner at the time and can probably easily recall which system S was talking about.
Boss: You cant contact A. Shes with another department now. Ask S again. Or ask PQ. If S was buying the licenses, PQ would have had to buy for his team too.
Me: I asked PQ and he hasnt ever had to purchase licenses for any of his systems. Is there a specific reason I should stay away from A?
Boss: You cant ask A. Shes with another department now.
Does another department = another planet?? WTF?

And then the conversation stopped being conversation and turned all stabby! Argh - I would rip my hair out if I had to deal with that. I need to read Catch-22 again. What a brilliant book. But I need to start on some anti-depressants before I start reading it.

I loved that book too, Katy. And Alan Arkin as Yossarian in the movie gave me a crush that's lasted a lifetime.
Sadly, I tried to read the sequel, "Closing Time" and just couldn't get into it.
I made salmon and artichokes for dinner. I'm feeling proud because DH has never liked artichokes and he loved them tonight. I just steamed them in the microwave with chicken bouillon and made a lemon mayo dipping sauce. I love it when I "turn" his palate.
Alan Arkin was perfect in that role.
We went to a Vietnamese restaurant for dinner. I had a 65 minute hard workout with my trainer (I went insane and spent a lot of money on 15 personal training sessions to try to help lose weight) so I don't feel guilty. And I didn't actually eat anything too bad. Those artichokes sound yummy.
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Had to share this with you girls. DH and I were watching TV and I saw a commercial with a kid with no shoes. It took me back to my childhood and I started to re-tell this story (DH has heard one time too many) of when I was a child and went camping with my family in Maine. I remember taking a book and curling up a nest of blankets in the backseat of my parents' truck to read it because there wasn't really anywhere I could curl up comfortably in the camp site. I can't remember if I had fallen asleep, or if I had just been really focusing on my book, but I looked up and the car was moving and my parents were going somewhere. They all decided to go to the LL Bean store and everyone got in the car (I was already there) and took off without saying a word to me about it. I had had no idea they were planning to go anywhere at all, and I was in the car barefoot with no shoes. When I pointed this out my Dad was of course angry - with me - and rather than turn around, apparently decided that he wasn't turning back but that I could stay in the car while they went in and looked around the store. (I was 10 or 11, and it wasn't hot - but just think of the number of things that would make a modern parent cringe! Lying in the back of a moving vehicle, leaving your child alone unattended in a car in summer, leaving your child unattended in a parking lot in a strange place ... the list goes on). Anyway, I clearly remember them leaving me there with my book to read and my mother buying me maple sugar candy, apparently as a guilt offering because I think she felt bad.
So I re-told the story to DH tonight, and he pointed out to me that LL Bean sells shoes. They could easily have gone inside, bought me a pair of flip-flops, brought them out to me, and I could have gone shopping with them. Problem solved. Would you believe that in 30 years, that solution had NEVER occurred to me.
And then I thought - any one of you girls would have done that. Probably left your DH in the car with the kid, gone inside, bought some shoes, and then the whole family could go in. Simple, not a problem.
No real point to this story, other than to either show how much parenting has changed, or to show that my dad was kind of a jerk. Either way! LOL...
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Dad was going "I'm NOT buying her those overpriced shoes when she has perfectly good ones already!'
Maybe they had LL Bean embroider your initials on the flip-flops, and they forgot to pick them up?
In all seriousness, I do recall being left in the car a few times at that age. One time, in a car with my younger cousins, I took the car out of park and it roooooolllled. LOL. I wonder if the world is really as proportionally more dangerous today as we are more cautious with children.
Aw, that's kinda funny, Mandy. I remember once my mother decided on a whim that we were going to a theme park one day after we'd been to my grandma's. I guess we didn't wear our shoes to her house (we often went places without shoes-I tell ya, I am true blood hillbilly) because I remember my mom going and buying me and my sister some new tennis shoes from the General Dollar store. I had neon green and she had neon pink. I can still remember the smell of the cheap plastic soles of them.
We got back from soccer practice about an hour ago, and I'm still not thawed out! My toes are froooozen, but it was worth it because Travis won the trophy of the week for trying really hard. I love the transformation he's gone through with soccer. It's taken some time because he was so reserved before, but now he really works well with the other kids and joins in as good as anyone else.
I am trying not to freak out about a small bruise-like patch that is on my back. It's about the size of a dime and been there for about 3 weeks now without seeming to want to go away. It felt like dry skin before, so I didn't worry about it, but I guess I'm freaking out because it's still there and still discolored. I'm going to book an appointment on Monday. I guess my brain was dwelling on it last night because I then dreamed that I had small blisters all over my body! Ugh. A few nights ago, I dreamed that I was sucked up in a tornado and buried beneath some rubble...I have not slept well at all this week! Ack.

By Maurielle LueFox 2 News ReporterLIVINGSTON COUNTY, Mich. (WJBK) -- "I could hear screaming, 'My baby's burning,'" said Elise Roerink.She could only describe what happened early Tuesday morning as horrifying. Her neighbor's home was burning. A mother, father and two young girls were screaming for help."I yelled for them to come over here and found them some shoes and some coats," Roerink said. "Mom said, 'Take her, take her.' She was so hysterical I don't think she knew what was going on, and I just said, 'I can't. I don't want to hurt her.'"A precious two-year-old girl nearly burned alive was rushed to an Ann Arbor hospital in critical condition. Sadly, we've learned that toddler has died.Roerink took the family in while other neighbors called for help and gave Howell firefighters information.When crews arrived, the entire home was engulfed in flames. The fire was so hot firefighters fell through the floor.The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but the blaze started in the bedroom where the mother was sleeping with her two daughters, and though it's a personal tragedy for this family, there's a lesson here for everyone."She woke up due to the heat and smoke inside the bedroom, so I think if we had working smoke alarms in the mobile home, this tragedy could've been diverted, maybe not the fire, but the injuries," said Less Rodell from the Howell Area Fire Department.

All eyes are on the Motor City. Friday, Governor Rick Snyder and Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr were squarely in the spotlight explaining to the world why Detroit has become the largest city in U.S. history to file for municipal bankruptcy.
"This is the time to say enough is enough in terms of the downward decline of Detroit," Snyder said. "The city is basically broke. It has $18 billion in liabilities. That's an unsustainable level of debt."
"There's no way home from that equation. There's no amount of revenue that we could generate to try to address it, so we have to treat it in this fashion of bankruptcy," Orr said.
Watch the second video for our extensive interview with Kevyn Orr about the bankruptcy filing.
While Detroit is being crushed by its massive debt and long term liabilities, city services are suffering and have been for decades. That is something both Snyder and Orr said this bankruptcy could change.
"What would happen if we didn't do this act? Detroit would continue to go downhill, and it wouldn't be the lowest day in Detroit's history. That day would continue day after day, and that's not right ... for the citizens. There are too many people walking to school, trying to make a livelihood in the city, that are putting up with things that just don't make sense," the governor said.
Average Detroiters will not lose any current city services, but there will be some who will feel the pain.
"It's a tragedy for retirees who have worked long and hard for the City of Detroit," said Ed McNeil with AFSCME.
Detroit's unions and pension boards have been in court fighting to protect benefits.
George Orzech is the chairman of the Detroit Police and Fire Pension Board. He said, "If it comes down to a battle, it may have to go all the way to the United States Supreme Court, if that's what they're going to choose."
"To anyone who thinks I wasn't negotiating in good faith when they're suing me, I ask you to look at that context, that your decision instead of coming to the table with me is to continually file suits against me," Orr said.
Both sides hope they can reach an agreement because kicking the can down the road is no longer an option.
"Let's get Detroit on the path to being a great city again because that's critically important to all of Michigan," Snyder said.
Meanwhile, a court in Ingham County has already said the city did not have the right to file for bankruptcy. The attorney general is now taking that to the Court of Appeals, and we can expect the legal battles to continue.

Dr. Phil's Car
"Dreams reveal stuff about you that you didn't know was there.- Clara Hill
Dear Lauri,
I dreamed I was in Dr. Phil's car. It was a super nice car. All of a sudden, he leaned over and kissed me! What does that mean? - Irene 61, West Chester, PA
Lauri: Dr. Phil's car shows that you are moving forward in your life in an emotionally and psychologically healthy direction. You also describe his car as "super nice." What, in your life, feels super nice right now? Are you being super nice, maybe? His kiss suggests that you must have recently had a healthy conversation with someone because - like kissing - it takes two mouths to communicate. I believe the message of this dream is that you need to keep up your momentum and keep up this healthy way of communicating because whatever it is you are doing seems to have the Dr. Phil seal of approval!
Irene replies: I think you're right on. I've been doing volunteer work that has changed me so much. I'm a hospice volunteer. I feel very positive and happy and have many healthy conversations with almost everyone I meet. I'm psychologically at a place I've never been to before.
FASCINATING DREAM FACT: Did you know each dream you have throughout the night progresses in duration? Your first dream will be about 3 minutes long. The last dream you have before awakening can be 45 minutes long!

text: Before you fly the friendly skies, chances are you will make a stop at one of Metro Airport's parking structures where more than 6,000 incandescent lights burn 24 hours a day.That is expensive and not exactly energy efficient. The existing lights only last about 13 months at a time.Director of Infrastructure Engineering Ali Dib said the airport is about to change all of the parking structure lights to LEDs with a life span of ten years.Rauhorn Electric of Macomb won the $6.2 million contract, which is expected to cut the airport's parking deck lighting costs from $1.2 million a year to $454,000."We believe the technology is mature enough now to allow us to do a conversion, which will improve our lighting conditions and still consumes 66 percent less energy," Dib said.The project will not just save energy and money. It will also increase lighting. They will nearly double the number of lights in the Blue Deck, and some will be smart lights that dim in bright, sunny conditions when they are not needed.Years of testing and studies were done leading up to the decision.When all is said and done, the airport expects to save enough energy to power 880 homes for a year and keep thousands of tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, the equivalent of taking more than 1,300 cars off the road."We're always looking at ways to reduce our carbon footprints, to be more efficient," Dib said. "All in all, the project has a lot of advantages. It's one of the largest conversion projects in the nation."We were told the lights will be replaced in phases, and work will not be scheduled during busy travel times.The project is expected to be completed by September 2014.

The nationwide ammunition shortage is now affecting officers at Phoenix PD. The department has been forced to cut back on some training at the shooting range.
The backlog is so substantial, a spokesperson tells us the Phoenix Police Department is still waiting to receive ammo it ordered six months ago. They're also dealing with a 20 percent increase in cost.
The email went out Monday. Effective immediately the department will be suspending the 100-rounds-per-month program for department personnel.
"The 100 rounds were discretionary. Officers could show up once a month, grab a hundred rounds on their own without an instructor present, shoot the rounds," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Trent Crump.
Sgt. Trent Crump says the ammunition in question is used in optional training, not on the job.
Ken Crane, the vice president of PLEA, the Phoenix Law Enforcement Agency, understands the department's position but worries about proficiency and liability issues.
"The concern is that these crucial skills, that they start to lapse. It could translate into things that we see out on the street... your proficiency goes down, you fire more rounds at what you're aiming at. That's not a good thing from a risk management point of view," said Crane.
The email states the cut is due to budgetary issues, the increasing cost of ammunition and the difficulty in getting ammunition in a timely basis. But according to Sgt. Crump, it's also a move that will help Phoenix Police maintain mandatory training and qualification.
"Part of our reason for managing our discretionary rounds is so that we can make sure we keep the mandatory training and the needed training in place for everybody."
The department hopes the cut is temporary, but at this point there's really no way to tell when and if the 100-rounds-per-month program will be brought back.

The Veterans' Affairs Committee is turning up its oversight heat after Veterans Affairs officials "stonewalled" their questions. Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) said there are 66 outstanding questions on conference spending that the committee has been waiting for answers from VA since August. VA pushed back saying it has responded as quickly and as accurately as possible.

ARCHBOLD, Ohio (AP) - Two northwest Ohio school districts say wind power is reducing their electricity bills and adding new learning tools for math and science classes.
The Blade newspaper (http://bit.ly/16iOTXU) reports that the Archbold and Pettisville school districts west of Toledo recently celebrated completion and operation of 750-kilowatt wind turbines.
The Pettisville district is trying to meet most of its K-12 school complex energy needs through the turbine, solar panels, and geothermal heating and cooling.
Archbold's superintendent says his district's turbine is expected to provide about 64% and possibly up to 74% of the electricity its high school and elementary school need. The turbine already has cut the district's power bill by about $9,000 a month.

A couple of decades ago, I had the opportunity to join my outdoor writer buddy, Keith Sutton for a bass fishing foray south of the border on Mexico's Lake Guerrero.
I had cast a plastic worm next to a bush when I felt the tell-tale "tap..tap" on the line. Setting the hook, it because obvious I had tied into something big. Around the bush the fish went and to my dismay, the line went slack; the fish had broken off.

Bill Spohn wrote:People drink Latour on release with Coke too.
The fact that some people of dubious taste may do something does not make it right.
I once lost an acquaintance because we were doing a single malt tasting and he wanted ginger ale with his and I refused.
I may stand alone against such miscegenation, but I shall stand.
If you happen to be the owner of a producer, you can do whatever you like without worrying about respecting your product. That still doesn't make it right.
Hoke wrote:Had a cocktail which caused an epiphanetic mind-shift...a cognac old fashioned made with H by Hine VSOP Cognac instead of the usual whiskey. Made me rethink a lot of things. And was instantly one of my cocktails of the year.
Then tonight I accepted a bartender's invitation and went to Kask, where he made another cognac old fashioned---but this time with Park Borderies 15 year old single vineyard cognac. Tremors and aftershocks.
Naturally I compared it to the recent rocking Hine Old Fashioned...but they were entirely different cocktails. The H by Hine had significantly more force majeure; younger cognacs with a lot more aggressivity and jumping from fruit well into the warm spice zone.
The Borderies, as befits the terroir and age, is more smoothly elegant, softer but still pungent, with more dried fruit and faded roses.
Both delicious, both quite unexpected, and both remarkable in the combination of fruit and spice, smoothness and power.

You clearly are not understanding what I said.
Anyone is at liberty to do whatever they want with whatever they happen to own and I never said anything else.
OTOH, I am free to hold whatever opinion I may have of a given action and I exercised my freedom to do so by posting my opinion. You are not, presumably, against others stating an opinion contrary to yours or some anonymous Cognac producer or anyone else, are you?
Not sure why you think I'd presume to dictate someone else's actions anyway - I learned long ago that no one listens to anyone that does tell them what they think they should do, and while stating an opinion is something I am often given to doing, vainly expecting anyone to take what I say as imperial fiat is not.
Hoke wrote:Mike, this was muddled but then strained. The fruit is absolutely essential here; it marries so intensely with the fruit essence of the cognac that it elevates the drink. If you use the H by Hine VSOP (or possibly the Ferrand 1840) you get a more forceful drink because of the nature of the cognac. If you use a Borderies 15, you get a softer, more elegant, rich and entrancing flavor expression; again, nature of the cru (and the age, natch).
James Dietz wrote:Other than scotch and soda, is scotch used in an other mixed drinks?
Hoke wrote:James Dietz wrote:Other than scotch and soda, is scotch used in an other mixed drinks?
Sure. There's the Rob Roy, which is naught but a Manhattan using scotch instead of bourbon. The Bobby Burns (scotch, vermouth, absinthe, orange bitters). The Blood and Sand (Scotch, vermouth, Cherry Heering). And the Rusty Nail (scotch and Drambuie).
There's also the Godfather, scotch and amaretto, but that always seemed weird to me somehow.
There are others.
Bill Buitenhuys wrote:One of my favorite scotch-based drinks is the Black Scottish Cyclops. The combination of Islay malt and amaro is quite wonderful.
Hoke wrote:But then, you're a bitter man.
Hoke wrote:You're absolutely right, Oliver. Caramel color is indeed permitted. Didn't mention the sugar earlier, as Otto did and I had queried him about it. Good to know Alko lists sugar grams in all their listing.
Otto wrote:Good to see another Finn here! Welcome Timo!
Otto wrote:I've been trying small sips of the Pale & Dry recently. The colour isn't really pale nor does it taste dry to me. In fact, it tastes more strongly sugary than any other Cognac before! I can't remember the g/l (and products over 22% abv can't be shown online so I can't check). I thought the Vespers vastly more interesting.

At least 51 people are dead after a devastating tornado struck outside Oklahoma City Monday afternoon. The storm leveled two schools and many homes. Police and fire crews from Joplin left for Moore, Oklahoma on Monday night to help with the rescue operations.
The Four State area has received very minor damage, and no injuries have been reported at this time.
Strong winds earlier Monday evening ripped off part of the roof and tore down part of a brick wall at Spicer Adams Welding on 4th Street in Pittsburg. Also, as of about 8 p.m. more than 1,100 people were without power in the Four State area, many of those in the Seneca, Missouri area.
Throughout the Four States limbs are down and trees have been uprooted.
Crews have been working to clear streets throughout the area the past few hours.
The Cherokee County sheriff reported flash floods on secondary roads following heavy rains.
The Crawford County emergency manager told us trees and power lines were down, and while there were no injuries that he knew of, there had been some roofs blown off homes near Pittsburg.
The Ottawa County sheriff's office dispatch reported power lines down and trees down, especially along County Road 130 and Interstate 44.
The Newton County sheriff's dispatch says damage had been reported throughout the area but Seneca seems to have received the brunt of it.

Comments On May 21, 2013:I was concerned about installing this but it was MUCH easier than expected. It does what it's supposed to do and I recommend it to everyone who owns an older KLR.

Comments On May 15, 2013:The Eagle Mike doohickey is a very well designed part. I can see that the research in materials and dimensions are well thought out. My doohickey (at 14,000 miles) wasn't broken but my spring didn't have any tension. I used the torsion spring instead of the supplied extension spring, and my only gripe is that Eagle Mike doesn't offer the torsion spring with the lever. I had to purchase the extension spring with the lever and it is unused when you use the torsion spring. Installing this was easy but you need to make sure you're comfortable using tools such as a torque wrench and are comfortable working on the inside of your engine. There's a lot of video and written tutorials on the internet. After installing this, my engine is much quieter since my balancer chain is now properly tensioned.

Comments On Dec 10, 2010:if you have a KLR650, you have to have this before your stock one falls apart and ruins the engine. Installation is simple. make sure you get the generator cover gaskets too! I prefer the torsion spring as well.

text: Special memories of being in the Smokey Mountains in the fall include eating at the Apple Barn or visiting a Farmer's Market to buy fresh home-grown apples. I never knew there so many varieties existed until we visited the FM in Asheville. Man-oh-man, how delicious can they be? We only saw apples as a kid (Red Delicious) on Christmas morning. Once they disappeared (and they did quickly), we did not see them again until the next year. Recently, with the hint of autumn in the air, we've been thinking of the Smokies, mountain air and apples You can probably smell them too.Subscribe to Read!

Frequently the press talks about updating your will or trust, but never about
the importance of keeping your beneficiary designations up to date.
For many people, their largest assets (life insurance, IRAs, 401K's or annuities, etc) pass according to their beneficiary designations rather than there will.
Some common problems that occur:
A young adult starts their first job. As part of their benefit package they get $50,000 of employer paid life insurance. As the young person fills out the paperwork in the HR department they list their boy/girlfriend as their beneficiary. They later get married to a different person, and forget about this life insurance. 20 years later they pass away and this asset passes to their old girlfriend of 20+ years ago rather than their spouse and children.
A married man with a wife and three children passes away and the surviving spouse quickly changes their will to make sure all of the assets will eventually go to their 3 children should she pass. They do nothing to the beneficiary designation of the now $200,000 IRA which only lists their first born child as the contingent beneficiary. Now Mom passes and that one child gets all the money as opposed to splitting it with all three children. Will that child do the right thing and share with the siblings? Will it destroy the relationship of the three kids?
A young couple purchases joint life insurance to help provide for their three young children should they both pass. Her brother is listed as the beneficiary with the intent that he will use the money to provide for the upbringing of the under age children. 20 years later the couple dies in a common car accident and the brother gets the life insurance money instead of their kids despite what the will says.
A single female takes a new job at age 30 and signs up for the company's 401K plan naming her twin sister as the beneficiary. Ten years later she gets married and lives happily for the next 20 years with her spouse until her age 60. Over the 30 years of employment she saves up over $1,000,000 in the 401K plan. She changes her will at the point she gets married and names her new husband as her sole beneficiary. At age 60 she dies and her twin sister gets the $1,000,000 as she never thought to check her beneficiary designations after initially signing up for the plan.
Other common errors:
· Not adding additional children as beneficiaries when born.
· Not removing deceased people as beneficiaries
· Not removing ex-spouses or ex inlaws as beneficiaries
· Not making "special arrangements " for dependents with "addiction" issues
· Not making "special arrangements" for dependents with special needs

This is a multifaceted dancework, in which books come to life and where life hangs by a thread.

I feel like I more than live up to my end of the bargain when I take my dog on a long walk at the end of a long day. Instead of crashing on the couch.
Submitted by Anonymous | March 9 2009 | Permalink
my 2 Boxers LOVE LOVE LOVE their walks each and every night, no matter what, even when i'm so tired and just want to lay around. of course, they always make me laugh and i always feel better when we get home and all get to eat our dinner and then relax!
yay for you walking the dogs!
to me, being a good dog person more then everything else means:
1. respecting their space, and body. not forcing on collers, or dregging them by force when in a hurry or doing unpleasent daily things to them without first teaching them to like it. i always had dogs who didnt like petting that much, and at all times, so i try my best not to pet dogs when they dont want it.
2.protecting the dog when needed. that is if i have a fearful dog, or a gentle one i make sure i do not put him in situations he cannot hendle, i take him for a time out if play with other dogs is becoming to rough.

A great dog person remembers that every dog and their human do NOT want to meet other dogs. They keep in mind that, through no fault of their own, not all dogs are friendly with other dogs.
Submitted by Molly's mom | March 10 2009 | Permalink
Being a great dogperson means reading all the labels on foods and finding the one with meat not corn as the first ingredient. It means spaying or neutering is top priority money-wise for that month, and never bringing more puppies into the world. It means committing to a dog for her entire life, and if she needs expensive surgery, so be it. It means picking up a 70+ lb dog having an epileptic seizure out in the snow even if it's damn near impossible, to get her into the warm house and back to herself. It means treating the dogs like kids, and not expecting them to understand what they can't understand or do what they can't do. It means rescuing, rehabilitating, training, loving, and reaping the immense rewards of lifelong friends and unconditional love.
I think my 3 dogs would say I'm a grrreat mom...and their dad's catching on quick.

I treat my dogs (and cats) the way I would wish to be treated if I were them. They share my couch, my bed, and, yes, some of my food. They have lots of toys and we play often. They have good treats and get lots of gifts for birthdays and Christmas. I tell each and every one of them how much I love them numerous time a day. Money is no object when it comes to veterinary care. I will do whatever it takes to keep them healthy and happy. Many people have told me that when they die they want to come back as one of my pets. To me that is the ultimate compliment!

A dog person is someone who is the happiest when they are around their furry friends. Someone who is receptive to their dogs needs and curious about how their dog thinks and acts to try understand them.
A good dog person is someone that respects the animal first and recognizes and tends to their emotional and physical needs. A good dog person knows that having a happy dog is as easy as raising a child. A good dog person takes care of their dog. They not only feed them a proper dog food, but spends quality time with them which includes: walks, playing with toys, teaching new tricks and recapping on old ones, socializing with other dogs, people, and children. A good dog person wants the best for their dog and does what they can to achieve the best. And finally, doing all this makes a good dog person happy.

I believe that a good dog person understands that their dog is a dog, not a person, and treats them with the respect they deserve. Dogs view the world through different senses. A good dog person knows this and alters their relationship accordingly. They try their best to think like their dog. Also a dog can still be a dog yet respectable in a public setting. THIS is a good trait to encourage.

I took my dog to the dog park the other day, and there was a HUGE mud puddle. My dog, a lab/golden cross (I raised him for a service dog organization, and he was career changed for acid reflux.. so no, he's not a 'designer breed' in that sense... he was designed to do a job. As a 2-year-old water dog that has not been in water all winter and loves to tear it up anyways, of course he found the only mud puddle. Now, most dog mommies and daddies were freaking and pulling their pups away from eminate muddy disaster. But I figured "hey, let him have a good time.... got to let them be dogs every once in a while". He left the dog park that day looking more like a chocolate lab than his normal golden blonde color... And yes, I had to spend about an hour and a half in the tub cleaning him, since I don't have a hose... I think, that, alone, makes me a good dog person. Not to mention the fact that I do flyball with him, dock diving, have taken rally and obedience classes, am training him in service work, and, well, do just about all of this stuff. I think being a good dog person is more than all of the stuff you do, though. I think it's how you ultimately read the animals. Dogs know dog people.. That's all there really is to it.

I know what you mean. I have two Boston Terriers, Simon & Ruby. I got them as puppies and during their first year we were staying at a house that bordered a farm. We live on Long Island, NY and have four seasons which we experienced at that house. Every season they would find a new mess and I just got used to letting them have a good time and giving them a bath afterwards...granted they weren't too big at the time, but they didn't fit in the sink and there was only a stand up shower. Some days, they got several baths and to me it was a natural thing to do. One Father's Day, it poured and then the sun came out. I turned around to see the dogs tumbling, running, & having a ball in the newly tractored field....they were covered in mud. They looked brindle. I wish I could attach pictures...I'm a photographer and I have the sequence of the fun on film! Today, Simon & Ruby are 8 & 8 1/2 years old. Ruby's settled down considerably, but everyday Simon rolls on the pavement in the driveway, on the street as we walk, and now is the season to roll in the grass after finding a dead worm, moving it, then rolling on it! (Does anyone elses dog do that?) These days, he gets a good "spot cleaning" and when he goes outside for the last time of the day, he buries a bone & rolls on the driveway again!

A lot of the comments hit on what I think is the most important thing in being a good dog person: Realize the dog is a canine - not a primate, respect the dog and respect yourself. I find that there's a fine balance between letting my dogs be themselves and giving them enough discipline and boundaries so I can live my life next to theirs, and we can successfully live together. I think about this balance almost all the time - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't - mostly it's somewhere in between. In my view, a good dog person knows the importance of this balance - and works on it.

A lot of great points already made. Here are a couple that come to mind for us:
Try to be attuned to your dog in the same way she is attuned to you. Right now Maggie is lieing behind my desk, dozing, cracking open an eye every so often to check on me -- she knows our walk time is in about 45 min. She doesn't want to miss anything in case I, miracle of miracles, might want to go sooner. I try to give her the same kind of attention during our day together.
Work slowly, gently and patiently with your dog to master brushing teeth. It's so important for their longterm health and it's something that can be hard to make into a habit, but it will really pay off in the long term. Maggie came to us missing teeth and with tooth resorption. It took awhile, lots of treats and patience and now we brush daily. Just the other day someone met her who thought she was young (she's about 10) due to her shiny clean teeth. Great compliment!

This is such a big, broad question. I think it's easier to answer by saying what makes a BAD dog person. A short list:
1)Buying or adopting a dog without thinking of it as a commitment for the life of the dog. Yes, tragic, unexpected things happen to people, and in those cases, it can be necessary to find a new home for 1-year-old Fluffy. But reasonably expected events such as long work hours or a new baby are not excuses.
2)Buying a puppy/dog as a gift for someone else.
3)Buying/adopting a dog without planning significant time to socialize and train.
4)Letting your dog be a bad ambassador for the species, by letting him wander in neighbors' yards, by not picking up his poohs on a walk, or by leaving him outside to bark and howl for minutes or hours on end.
5)Not spaying or neutering your dog unless you're a highly knowledgeable and responsible breeder who carefully screens potential pup homes and who requires spay/neuter contracts with adoptive families.
6)Not setting aside the budget & time for annual vet checkups and potential health emergencies.
7)Buying/adopting a dog without researching whether the breed or mix would be a good fit with your life - for both you & the dog. A young Border Collie will never, ever be truly happy in a big-city apartment, no matter how many leash-walks it gets.
8)Not immediately seeking help and guidance when you begin to notice behavior problems in your dog.
9)Using "dominance" to force response, instead of positive-reward training to shape behavior.
10)Allowing your bad moods (like frustration after a bad day at work) to negatively affect how you interact with your dog.
11)Not providing adequate daily exercise, mental stimulation & training, good-quality food & fresh water, and a fairly clean, happy home.
But lastly, what makes the BEST dog person in the world? Someone who loves dogs and who hungers to have one (or more) in their life, but who knows their current lifestyle wouldn't allow them to provide a good life for a dog, so they don't buy/adopt one. Instead they wait for the day when they can provide a great life for the right dog (or two :-)).

I think it is very important to take at least fifteen to twenty minutes a day and sit quietly with your dog, making sure to give your dog your full and undivided attention. Turn the TV off, turn the cell phone off, and enjoy each others company.

My Princess is 17 years old and going strong. She's a Shepherd/Husky mix and I've had her since she was 2 months old. The dog I had before her was long lived. He was 16 years 10 months old when he left. I think Princess is so attached to me, that she'll never give up the ghost!! :) This is what I want to say about dogs, they love it when you talk to them, if fact Princess started talking back to me. I kid you not, it was kind of like "rah rah rooo" sound. But, really all my dogs would sit and look at me with interest when I talk to them. Princess actually would come to me if her meal was 15 minutes late and make a complaining noise at me! Dogs may not understand all the words, but the can pick up on the way you feel. I actually talk over my problems with my dogs, and in a way they helped me solve some of them. Saying a problem out loud gives you a different perspective than thinking about it. Talk to your dog, it's a treat for them and it actually helps you! Not only that, but it helps in their training because they listen more attentively when you speak, thus they are more obedient.

So it's not likely to be easy to find in May. If that's true, what do I do instead? I want to keep the potato-celeriac mash, so that makes cauliflower not good since it's white. And broccoli -- not everyone likes it. The classic match with confit duck leg is cannelini beans, or other beans, because of the association with cassoulet. But that kind of lowers the tone of the plate. Want to suggest something?
I've been thinking something like snow peas or sugar snaps might be a little surprising and taste good in combination?
