Facing former club, Lackey looks to keep rolling
Coming off second victory, Weaver starting opposite former mentor
Red Sox right-hander John Lackey has plenty of fond memories pitching at Angel Stadium during his 11-year career.
As a member of the Halos from 2002-09, Lackey racked up 102 wins and was one of the team's most consistent starters.
He's pitched at that same level over the last few weeks for Boston, going 3-0 with a 2.17 ERA in his last four starts.
"I'm just doing my job. I'm just having a good time pitching. I'm not really worried about what slack I need to pick up or any of that," Lackey said. "I missed a full season. I'm enjoying feeling good and enjoying competing."
He'll face former teammate and good friend Jered Weaver in Sunday's three-game series finale in Anaheim.
Lackey got the best of Weaver the only other time they faced each other, earning a win back on July 27, 2010, at Angel Stadium by allowing just two runs in 7 1/3 innings of work.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia saw the influence Lackey had on Weaver when he was first called up to the Majors in 2006 and how much Weaver grew from that relationship.
"I think the time that Jered came to the Majors, John was established as one of the top right-handers, not only in the American League, but in baseball. I think the way that John will compete and prepare himself for games is the mentoring you want your young pitchers to see," Scioscia said. "I think Jered benefitted a lot from John and from watching the way he went about his business to see what Major League Baseball is about for a starting pitcher."
Weaver's done quite well since then, racking up 104 wins and three All-Star selections. This season, Weaver is 2-4 with a 3.79 ERA. He got an impressive win on Tuesday against the Cardinals, allowing just one run on six hits in seven innings of work for his first win since May 29. He retired 10 of the last 11 batters he faced and breezed through a 1-2-3 seventh with only eight pitches.
"It's big," Weaver said after his seventh start since missing more than seven weeks with a broken left elbow. "Obviously coming back, it was kind of like Spring Training for me all over again as far as trying to build a pitch count and get some arm strength back. I think that the ball is coming out a lot better than it has been."
Red Sox: Holt recalled from Triple-A
• Boston recalled third baseman Brock Holt from Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday. He also got the start in Saturday's contest against the Angels.
Holt will be a left-handed bat to platoon with Brandon Snyder at third base while Jose Iglesias plays shortstop until Stephen Drew returns from the disabled list.
"Anytime you can get up here, that's everyone's goal," said Holt, who picked up an RBI in the second inning with a sacrifice fly. "Watching these guys the whole year, it's been fun to watch and I'm excited to be a part of it for however long it may be."
Angels: Trout to start All-Star game in New York
Halos outfielder Mike Trout made the American League All-Star team as a starter on Saturday.
Trout is the first Angels position player to start an All-Star Game since Vladimir Guerrero in 2007 -- the last of a run of four consecutive starts for him -- and the youngest AL position player to do so since Ivan Rodriguez in 1993.
"It feels good," Trout said. "I'm just happy to be a part of something special. Making the All-Star Game, it feels great."
Worth noting
• Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz continued his throwing program on Saturday, throwing out to 105 feet with no restrictions, manager John Farrell said. Buchholz will look to repeat that Sunday and hopefully get out to 120 feet.
• Angels pitchers have allowed three or fewer runs in 18 of their last 25 wins.

NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!Okay brothers and sisters!
Are you with me? Are you with us? Time to change things once and for all !!! We've been saying this for years and years. My friend Stephen Silver is sayin it loud and clear. Let's get the word out... NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!This is great! I remember back in 1999 all of us at The Animation Academy having this conversation all the time. We would all get riled up. Stephen was there, Jose Lopez, Thomas Perkins, Chance Raspberry, Taso Gionis, who else? Philip Felix, Aaron Horvath...anyways, I'm going down memory lane here...but I'm stoked to see and hear Stephen is still proclaiming the sentiment! Good stuff!
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!Steve Silver at times in the video literally quotes stuff I've been saying at the Academy years ago when he was there and still to this day I say it. At least there's someone out there in the mainstream animation here in LA that's making a stand.
Ain't gonna see that from the good ol boys and girls at the Animation Guild now are ya? Good for Mr. Silver! With him on the way on this! Check it out... His video has gone viral and he has 30,837 views in just 3 days. That's 28,000 more than when I first posted the day before! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... WXYoD7wfOs
I Remember...couldn't agree more! =)What an awesome statement and stand for what is right, Stephen!! First off, thank you for recording and sharing this (and Congrats on the viral response!)
Second, thank you Charles for posting it on AN, bringing it to the forefront of the industry, and sharing/teaching us this mentality from the get-go!!! Snakebite, I haven't forgotten you, brother. ;D Thank you for including me in your recollection of The Animation Academy's Golden Age (I'm still so glad to have been a part of it!) I have just created a brand new Chance Raspberry Newsletter mailing list, and went back in last night to add this video to its debut issue. I also plan to post a followup to this video in some form (video, podcast, e-article, etc.) in my Feb issue of the newsletter. If you guys or anyone else would like to see what's in store and keep the ball rolling out to all new subscribers, you can SIGN UP here: http://eepurl.com/ue5xb. Thanks again, brothers! NO MORE FREE WORK!! =D ~ Chance Subscribe To The List
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!How can I forget you bro?? you're one of the real ones. Much respect and I remember those days fondly. We all are a force. The alumni from those days are strong..and C is right. Stephen is practically echoing everything we all shared with each other then. Philip Felix was the first to expose me to those ideas and then in 1999 he introduced me to the Warlord!
In regards to Stephen it Makes me happy he still feels this way! Go Stephen go!!
AMEN!!!(And another) AMEN to that, bro! =)
What a time capsule of Glory Days!! I truly wish every artist could experience what we had then and there. I know everyone finds their own version of it...but not always. We are truly blessed and the fact that we got such insight early on is a gift! Thank ALL you guys for sharing that knowledge, strength, and MAGIC with me. That's right, there was magic in those halls...stop working for free or we just might put a spell on you!!! ;F Raz http://eepurl.com/ue5xb
I wonder...Would it be considered "work for free" when artists at union studios work free overtime?
Is it "work for free" when they want an artist to work on weekends for free? How much of the "work for free" issues at the studios involve union studios? Is it "work for free" when interns work for free?
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!Lets see how deep people are willing to go to address the big issues.
This video is great. no doubt. But in my world its a conversation thats been around for awhile...This issue goes deeper then not working for free. There's other mentalities out there that are more damaging then working for free. Howa bout don't let an organization tell you how much your worth? Howa bout, don't pay for a service that is a monopoly on getting certain jobs in the industry...A service that doesn't believe you can change law in order to enrich the community and evolve policies... Howa bout, acknowledge where you got your education? Your awareness... Positivity comes in many forms. Sometimes two planets colliding is love...forming new systems and structures to support life...ok, I'm getting a little abstract...but not really. We're doomed to repeat ourselves unless we learn..and we won't learn unless we share. Stop believing that pointing out the problems, even passionately, is negative. Thats part of the lie and perpetual abuse. After all I got fucked the most by people with fake smiles.
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!I wonder if Steve Silver will be blacklisted because of this video. What do you think? Will the studios stop passing work to him? Will they drop him from their roster of artists?
Cartoonbrew and the Animation Guild have both blacklisted AN and we were getting this message out long before Stephen Silver. They happily embrace my student but they think I'm the enemy and hate my guts. What a friggen industry. Working for free is a symptom of a deeper problem but I can see that the message is getting through. I can tell from the attitude of students at the Academy this week. Don't work for free has become a mantra that's being taken much more seriously. The freeloading users out there are going to find it much more difficult to bamboozle artists. If you're gonna work for free do your own project and crowdfund it. When these guys get a budget and can pay you then talk to them. Stop wasting your time and energy and resources on these jokers. Have some self respect and respect for your community. Don't work for free anymore.
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!Simple equation:
Spec=Death There's no excuse for a company not to have working capital nowadays.
Re: NO MORE WORK FOR FREE !!!I get calls and emails all the time from people and groups looking to find student artists to work for free or for credit or for very little compensation.
I noticed that after Stephen's video went out the number of requests drastically dropped. I don't know if it's a coincidence or something that's associated with the don't work for free movement, but when I do get requests for artists I really emphasize that there's no way anyone will work on their project without compensation and I won't forward their requests without compensation associated with it. I was doing this before but I'm even more emphatic about now. See that ladies and gents! We can change things if we want to! We can affect any kind of reform we want if we simply put our minds to it and UNIFY !!!

Can anyone share the girls FS with us?thanks a lot!!!!
IA - suddenly there's all this Canadian women's talent. I liked Amelie's programs but the young, fearless girls have surpassed her.
Just watched Osmond's f/s - like her way better than the "long hyped Russian Babes" because she has so much joie de vivre while the Russian girls look so grim -- like it's all work and no play. Worlds should be very interesting!
Have these been uploaded anywhere yet? Would love to see Chartrand and Daleman.
There's a little bitty interview with Daleman by PJKwong, but I haven't found anything else so far.
So no video of Kaetlyn's FS still? That's too bad...
Katelyn Osmond Free Skate at 2013 Canadian Nationals:
Note: Final ranking displayed at the end are incorrect due to Chartrand's score correction moving her into 3rd, ahead of Amelie.
I have watched the digested Ladies comp thru J-Sports on my HDD, finally!
Loved the energy of Osmond's SP!
Sooooo sad Amelie did not skate as she hoped for and the way she surely was capable of. She has such beautiful programs that suit her skating very well. Sincerely hope she will do much much better at 4CC in Osaka, so that she at least can finish her season in a positive way. Best of luck to her!
The skater who grabbed my heart at this comp is Gabrielle Daleman!
Just to the distance of her jumps! I really Look forward to seeing her on the senior circuit soon!
btw, I saw Tugba Karademir in the Kiss&Cry! Is she coaching in Canada? She still looks so gorgeous.
It looked as if she was fighting to hold her composure together in the K&C, wiping away tears at one point. I would think she must have prepared herself for the possibility of losing the title to Osmond, but likely had not anticipated Daleman getting past her. Also, Chartrand later moving up would have been another blow to her pride. I guess Cynthia got out just in time.
Last edited by rvi5; 02-04-2013 at 12:58 PM.
The latest information lists her as an NCCP Level 4 coach associated with the Mariposa School of Skating in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.
Last edited by rvi5; 02-05-2013 at 08:15 AM.
Wow, how nice! Thank you so much for the info, rvi5!
Tugba has accomplished so much as a competitive skater, the very first from Turkey and a real gem of the Turkish Skating world, isn't she? I am happy indeed to know that she stays with figure skating, and look forward to seeing her accompanying one of her skaters to int'l comps, too; e.g. at GP events and sometime soon hopefully. Good luck to her.
daleman is incredible! looking fwd to seeing more from this skater in the future! it looks as though canada has the baby ballerinas for now lol
Still no video of the FS especially Gabby Daleman's?

I know they already main lined their 3D linux support, and it's really nice to just run a VM and 3D and resizing works out of the box.
I think VMCI allows for the drag and drop support. So another good step.
Next I hope they get all the kernel modules including for the host, so that we don't have to wait for vmware to update them when the kernel changes. I mean, even Microsoft is on board with that.

I don't have any graphics corruption in Firefox or any other app. I did however have a couple of spontaneous reboots, mostly triggered by switching or closing a Firefox tab. I don't know if this is a general driver issue or only triggered by the new 2d accel code paths. But I've disabled the new 2D accel code for now.
On a positive note. The gstreamer-gl plugin from git now works correctly with this Catalyst release. So it's now possible to have tear-free video with gstreamer based video players and fglrx.

With peritoneal dialysis (PD), you have some choices in treating advanced and permanent kidney failure. Since the 1980s, when PD first became a practical and widespread treatment for kidney failure, much has been learned about how to make PD more effective and minimize side effects. Since you don't have to schedule dialysis sessions at a center, PD gives you more control. You can give yourself treatments at home, at work, or on trips. But this independence makes it especially important that you work closely with your health care team: your nephrologist, dialysis nurse, dialysis technician, dietitian, and social worker. But the most important members of your health care team are you and your family. By learning about your treatment, you can work with your health care team to give yourself the best possible results, and you can lead a full, active life.
When Your Kidneys Fail
Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess fluid, minerals, and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. When your kidneys fail, harmful wastes build up in your body, your blood pressure may rise, and your body may retain excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells. When this happens, you need treatment to replace the work of your failed kidneys.
How PD Works
In PD, a soft tube called a catheter is used to fill your abdomen with a cleansing liquid called dialysis solution. The walls of your abdominal cavity are lined with a membrane called the peritoneum, which allows waste products and extra fluid to pass from your blood into the dialysis solution. The solution contains a sugar called dextrose that will pull wastes and extra fluid into the abdominal cavity. These wastes and fluid then leave your body when the dialysis solution is drained. The used solution, containing wastes and extra fluid, is then thrown away. The process of draining and filling is called an exchange and takes about 30 to 40 minutes. The period the dialysis solution is in your abdomen is called the dwell time. A typical schedule calls for four exchanges a day, each with a dwell time of 4 to 6 hours. Different types of PD have different schedules of daily exchanges.
One form of PD, continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), doesn't require a machine. As the word ambulatory suggests, you can walk around with the dialysis solution in your abdomen. Another form of PD, continuous cycler-assisted peritoneal dialysis (CCPD), requires a machine called a cycler to fill and drain your abdomen, usually while you sleep. CCPD is also sometimes called automated peritoneal dialysis (APD).
Getting Ready for PD
Whether you choose an ambulatory or automated form of PD, you'll need to have a soft catheter placed in your abdomen. The catheter is the tube that carries the dialysis solution into and out of your abdomen. If your doctor uses open surgery to insert your catheter, you will be placed under general anesthesia. Another technique requires only local anesthetic. Your doctor will make a small cut, often below and a little to the side of your navel (belly button), and then guide the catheter through the slit into the peritoneal cavity. As soon as the catheter is in place, you can start to receive solution through it, although you probably won't begin a full schedule of exchanges for 2 to 3 weeks. This break-in period lets you build up scar tissue that will hold the catheter in place.
The standard catheter for PD is made of soft tubing for comfort. It has cuffs made of a polyester material, called Dacron, that merge with your scar tissue to keep it in place. The end of the tubing that is inside your abdomen has many holes to allow the free flow of solution in and out.
Types of PD
The type of PD you choose will depend on the schedule of exchanges you would like to follow, as well as other factors. You may start with one type of PD and switch to another, or you may find that a combination of automated and nonautomated exchanges suits you best. Work with your health care team to find the best schedule and techniques to meet your lifestyle and health needs.
Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)
If you choose CAPD, you'll drain a fresh bag of dialysis solution into your abdomen. After 4 to 6 or more hours of dwell time, you'll drain the solution, which now contains wastes, into the bag. You then repeat the cycle with a fresh bag of solution. You don't need a machine for CAPD; all you need is gravity to fill and empty your abdomen. Your doctor will prescribe the number of exchanges you'll need, typically three or four exchanges during the day and one evening exchange with a long overnight dwell time while you sleep.
Continuous Cycler-Assisted Peritoneal Dialysis (CCPD)
CCPD uses an automated cycler to perform three to five exchanges during the night while you sleep. In the morning, you begin one exchange with a dwell time that lasts the entire day.
Customizing Your PD
If you've chosen CAPD, you may have a problem with the long overnight dwell time. It's normal for some of the dextrose in the solution to cross into your body and become glucose. The absorbed dextrose doesn't create a problem during short dwell times. But overnight, some people absorb so much dextrose that it starts to draw fluid from the peritoneal cavity back into the body, reducing the efficiency of the exchange. If you have this problem, you may be able to use a minicycler (a small version of a machine that automatically fills and drains your abdomen) to exchange your solution once or several times overnight while you sleep. These additional, shorter exchanges will minimize solution absorption and give you added clearance of wastes and excess fluid.
If you've chosen CCPD, you may have a solution absorption problem with the daytime exchange, which has a long dwell time. You may find you need an additional exchange in the mid-afternoon to increase the amount of waste removed and to prevent excessive absorption of solution.
Preventing Problems
Infection is the most common problem for people on PD. Your health care team will show you how to keep your catheter bacteria-free to avoid peritonitis, which is an infection of the peritoneum. Improved catheter designs protect against the spread of bacteria, but peritonitis is still a common problem that sometimes makes continuing PD impossible. You should follow your health care team's instructions carefully, but here are some general rules:
- Store supplies in a cool, clean, dry place.
- Inspect each bag of solution for signs of contamination before you use it.
- Find a clean, dry, well-lit space to perform your exchanges.
- Wash your hands every time you need to handle your catheter.
- Clean the exit site with antiseptic every day.
- Wear a surgical mask when performing exchanges.
Keep a close watch for any signs of infection and report them so they can be treated promptly. Here are some signs to watch for:
- Fever
- Nausea or vomiting
- Redness or pain around the catheter
- Unusual color or cloudiness in used dialysis solution
- A catheter cuff that has been pushed out
Equipment and Supplies for PD
Transfer Set
A transfer set is tubing that connects the bag of dialysis solution to the catheter. When your catheter is first placed, the exposed end of the tube will be securely capped to prevent infection. Under the cap is a universal connector.
When you start dialysis training, your dialysis nurse will provide a transfer set. The type of transfer set you receive depends on the company that supplies your dialysis solution. Different companies have different systems for connecting to your catheter.
Connecting the transfer set requires sterile technique. You and your nurse will wear surgical masks. Your nurse will soak the transfer set and the end of your catheter in an antiseptic solution for 5 minutes before making the connection. The nurse will wear rubber gloves while making the connection.
Depending on the company that supplies your solution, your transfer set may require a new cap each time you disconnect from the bag after an exchange. With a different system, the tubing that connects to the transfer set includes a piece that can be clamped at the end of an exchange and then broken off from the tubing so that it stays on the transfer set as a cap until it is removed for the next exchange. Your dialysis nurse will train you in the aseptic (germ-free) technique for connecting at the beginning of an exchange and disconnecting at the end. Follow instructions carefully to avoid infection.
Dialysis Solution
Dialysis solution comes in 1.5-, 2-, 2.5-, or 3-liter bags. A liter is slightly more than 1 quart. The dialysis dose can be increased by using a larger bag, but only within the limit of the amount your abdomen can hold. The solution contains a sugar called dextrose, which pulls extra fluid from your blood. Your doctor will prescribe a formula that fits your needs.
You'll need a clean space to store your bags of solution and other supplies. You may also need a special heating device to warm each bag of solution to body temperature before use. Most solution bags come in a protective outer wrapper that allows for microwave heating. Do not microwave a bag of solution after it has been removed from its wrapper because microwaving can change the chemical makeup of the solution.
The cycler-which automatically fills and drains your abdomen, usually at night while you sleep-can be programmed to deliver specified volumes of dialysis solution on a specified schedule. Most systems include the following components:
Solution storage. At the beginning of the session, you connect bags of dialysis solution to tubing that feeds the cycler. Most systems include a separate tube for the last bag because this solution may have a higher dextrose content so that it can work for a day-long dwell time.
Pump. The pump sends the solution from the storage bags to the heater bag before it enters the body and then sends it to the disposal container or drain line after it's been used. The pump doesn't fill and drain your abdomen; gravity performs that job more safely.
Heater bag. Before the solution enters your abdomen, a measured dose is warmed to body temperature. Once the solution is the right temperature and the previous exchange has been drained, a clamp is released to allow the warmed solution to flow into your abdomen.
Fluid meter. The cycler's timer releases a clamp to let the used dialysis solution drain from your abdomen into a disposal container or drain line. As the solution flows through the tube, a fluid meter in the cycler measures and records how much solution has been removed. Some systems compare the amount of solution inserted with the amount drained and display the net difference between the two volumes. This lets you know whether the treatment is removing enough fluid from your body.
Disposal container or drain line. After the used solution is weighed, it's pumped to a disposal container that you can throw away in the morning. With some systems, you can dispose of the used fluid directly by stringing a long drain line from the cycler to a toilet or bathtub.
Alarms. Sensors will trigger an alarm and shut off the machine if there's a problem with inflow or outflow.
Testing the Effectiveness of Your Dialysis
To see if the exchanges are removing enough waste products, such as urea, your health care team must perform several tests. These tests are especially important during the first weeks of dialysis to determine whether you're receiving an adequate amount, or dose, of dialysis.
The peritoneal equilibration test (often called the PET) measures how much sugar has been absorbed from a bag of infused dialysis solution and how much urea and creatinine have entered into the solution during a 4-hour exchange. The peritoneal transport rate varies from person to person. If you have a high rate of transport, you absorb sugar from the dialysis solution quickly and should avoid exchanges with a very long dwell time because you're likely to absorb too much solution from such exchanges.
In the clearance test, samples of used solution drained over a 24-hour period are collected, and a blood sample is obtained during the day when the used solution is collected. The amount of urea in the used solution is compared with the amount in the blood to see how effective the PD schedule is in removing urea from the blood. For the first months or even years of PD treatment, you may still produce small amounts of urine. If your urine output is more than several hundred milliliters per day, urine is also collected during this period to measure its urea concentration.
From the used solution, urine, and blood measurements, your health care team can compute a urea clearance, called Kt/V, and a creatinine clearance rate (adjusted to body surface area). The residual clearance of the kidneys is also considered. These measurements will show whether the PD prescription is adequate.
If the laboratory results show that the dialysis schedule is not removing enough urea and creatinine, the doctor may change the prescription by
- increasing the number of exchanges per day for patients treated with CAPD or per night for patients treated with CCPD
- increasing the volume of each exchange (amount of solution in the bag) in CAPD
- adding an extra, automated middle-of-the-night exchange to the CAPD schedule
- adding an extra middle-of-the-day exchange to the CCPD schedule
For more information about testing the effectiveness of your dialysis, see the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) fact sheet Peritoneal Dialysis Dose and Adequacy.
One of the big problems with PD is that patients sometimes don't perform all of the exchanges prescribed by their medical team. They either skip exchanges or sometimes skip entire treatment days when using CCPD. Skipping PD treatments has been shown to increase the risk of hospitalization and death.
Remaining Kidney Function
Normally the PD prescription factors in the amount of residual, or remaining, kidney function. Residual kidney function typically falls, although slowly, over months or even years of PD. This means that more often than not, the number of exchanges prescribed, or the volume of exchanges, needs to increase as residual kidney function falls.
The doctor should determine your PD dose on the basis of practice standards established by the National Kidney Foundation Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (NKF-DOQI). Work closely with your health care team to ensure that you get the proper dose, and follow instructions carefully to make sure you get the most out of your dialysis exchanges.
Conditions Related to Kidney Failure and Their Treatments
Your kidneys do much more than remove wastes and extra fluid. They also make hormones and balance chemicals in your system. When your kidneys stop working, you may have problems with anemia and conditions that affect your bones, nerves, and skin. Some of the more common conditions caused by kidney failure are fatigue, bone problems, joint problems, itching, and restless legs.
Anemia and Erythropoietin (EPO)
Anemia is a condition in which the volume of red blood cells is low. Red blood cells carry oxygen to cells throughout the body. Without oxygen, cells can't use the energy from food, so someone with anemia may tire easily and look pale. Anemia can also contribute to heart problems.
Anemia is common in people with kidney disease because the kidneys produce the hormone erythropoietin (EPO), which stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Diseased kidneys often don't make enough EPO, and so the bone marrow makes fewer red blood cells. EPO is available commercially and is commonly given to patients on dialysis.
For more information about the causes of and treatments for anemia in kidney failure, see the NIDDK fact sheet Anemia in Kidney Disease and Dialysis.
Renal Osteodystrophy
The term "renal" describes things related to the kidneys. Renal osteodystrophy, or bone disease of kidney failure, affects up to 90 percent of dialysis patients. It causes bones to become thin and weak or malformed and affects both children and adults. Symptoms can be seen in growing children with kidney disease even before they start dialysis. Older patients and women who have gone through menopause are at greater risk for this disease.
For more information about the causes of this bone disease and its treatment in dialysis patients, see the NIDDK fact sheet Renal Osteodystrophy.
Itching (Pruritus)
Many people treated with peritoneal dialysis complain of itchy skin. Itching is common even in people who don't have kidney disease; with kidney failure, however, itching can be made worse by uremic toxins in the blood that dialysis doesn't adequately remove. The problem can also be related to high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Some people have found dramatic relief after having their parathyroid glands removed. But a cure that works for everyone has not been found. Phosphate binders seem to help some people; others find relief after exposure to ultraviolet light. Still others improve with EPO shots. A few antihistamines (Benadryl, Atarax, Vistaril) have been found to help; also, capsaicin cream applied to the skin may relieve itching by deadening nerve impulses. In any case, taking care of dry skin is important. Applying creams with lanolin or camphor may help.
Sleep Disorders
Patients on dialysis often have insomnia, and some people have a specific problem called sleep apnea syndrome. Episodes of apnea are breaks in breathing during sleep. Over time, these sleep disturbances can lead to "day-night reversal" (insomnia at night, sleepiness during the day), headache, depression, and decreased alertness. The apnea may be related to the effects of advanced kidney failure on the control of breathing. Treatments that work with people who have sleep apnea, whether they have kidney failure or not, include losing weight, changing sleeping position, and wearing a mask that gently pumps air continuously into the nose, called nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
Many people on dialysis have trouble sleeping at night because of aching, uncomfortable, jittery, or restless legs. You may feel a strong impulse to kick or thrash your legs. Kicking may occur during sleep and disturb a bed partner throughout the night. Theories about the causes of this syndrome include nerve damage and chemical imbalances.
Moderate exercise during the day may help, but exercising a few hours before bedtime can make it worse. People with restless leg syndrome should reduce or avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco; some people also find relief with massages or warm baths. A class of drugs called benzodiazepines, often used to treat insomnia or anxiety, may help as well. These prescription drugs include Klonopin, Librium, Valium, and Halcion. A newer and sometimes more effective therapy is levodopa (Sinemet), a drug used to treat Parkinson's disease.
Sleep disorders may seem unimportant, but they can impair your quality of life. Don't hesitate to raise these problems with your nurse, doctor, or social worker.
Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) is common in people who have been on dialysis for more than 5 years. DRA develops when proteins in the blood deposit on joints and tendons, causing pain, stiffness, and fluid in the joints, as is the case with arthritis. Working kidneys filter out these proteins, but dialysis is not as effective. For more information, see the NIDDK fact sheet Amyloidosis and Kidney Disease.
Adjusting to Changes
You can do your exchanges in any clean space, and you can take part in many activities with solution in your abdomen. Even though PD gives you more flexibility and freedom than hemodialysis, which requires being connected to a machine for 3 to 5 hours three times a week, you must still stick to a strict schedule of exchanges and keep track of supplies. You may have to cut back on some responsibilities at work or in your home life. Accepting this new reality can be very hard on you and your family. A counselor or social worker can help you cope.
Many patients feel depressed when starting dialysis, or after several months of treatment. Some people can't get used to the fact that the solution makes their body look larger. If you feel depressed, you should talk with your social worker, nurse, or doctor because depression is a common problem that can often be treated effectively.
How Diet Can Help
Eating the right foods can help improve your dialysis and your health. You may have chosen PD over hemodialysis because the diet is less restrictive. With PD, you're removing wastes from your body slowly but constantly, while in hemodialysis, wastes may build up for 2 or 3 days between treatments. You still need to be very careful about the foods you eat, however, because PD is much less efficient than working kidneys. Your clinic has a dietitian to help you plan meals. Follow the dietitian's advice closely to get the most from your dialysis treatments. You can also ask your dietitian for recipes and titles of cookbooks for patients with kidney disease. Following the restrictions of a diet for kidney failure might be hard at first, but with a little creativity, you can make tasty and satisfying meals.
The National Kidney Foundation has a brochure on Nutrition and Peritoneal Dialysis, which gives general guidelines on calorie and nutrient intake. See the "Additional Reading" section for contact information.
Financial Issues
Treatment for kidney failure is expensive, but Federal health insurance programs pay much of the cost, usually up to 80 percent. Often, private insurance or State programs pay the rest. Your social worker can help you locate resources for financial assistance. For more information, see the NIDDK fact sheet Financial Help for Treatment of Kidney Failure.
Hope through Research
The NIDDK, through its Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases, supports several programs and studies devoted to improving treatment for patients with progressive kidney disease and permanent kidney failure, including patients on PD.
The End-Stage Renal Disease Program promotes research to reduce medical problems from bone, blood, nervous system, metabolic, gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and endocrine abnormalities in kidney failure and to improve the effectiveness of dialysis and transplantation. The research focuses on reusing hemodialysis membranes and using alternative dialyzer sterilization methods; devising more efficient, biocompatible membranes; refining high-flux hemodialysis; and developing criteria for dialysis adequacy. The program also seeks to increase kidney graft and patient survival and to maximize quality of life.
The U.S. Renal Data System (USRDS) collects, analyzes, and distributes information about the use of dialysis and transplantation to treat kidney failure in the United States. The USRDS is funded directly by the NIDDK in conjunction with the Health Care Financing Administration. The USRDS publishes an Annual Data Report, which characterizes the total population of people being treated for kidney failure; reports on incidence, prevalence, mortality rates, and trends over time; and develops data on the effects of various treatment modalities. The report also helps identify problems and opportunities for more focused special studies of renal research issues.

In September, she was named in the "Top 25 Women in Dentistry" by Dental Products Report, and was named on the "Who's Hot in Dental Laboratory Technology" list by the Journal of Dental Technology in January of this year. She achieved perhaps her greatest personal career accomplishment in May of 2011 when she was awarded the distinction of Accredited Technician by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD).

She serves as Vice Chair of the Foundation for Dental Laboratory Technology, as a Facilitator on The American Board of Cosmetic Dentistry's (ABCD) Members in the Accreditation Process program, and participates with the Give Back A Smile™ program of the AACD Charitable Foundation.

A white shirt AND a crazy gradient!? I must be in heaven!
YESSSS!!!!!!! finally im the first sucker!!!!
Wow. Never thought I would see the Old English letter eth ð in a write-up. By the way, Urðarbrunnr is fate or a well in Norse mythology,
This shirt looks like it must shimmer, even* in low light. *or especially
This is so beautiful. I just want to keep looking at it, like that one painting in a museum that just requests your attention and you can't look away.
Amazing art...printed on AA blanks (mens, kids sizes) Why yes, I *do* want one. Hits big yellow button & skips away happily.... Here's hoping that tomorrow's winner will also be on AA ;)
I'm always happy when patrickspens wins because his stuff is always awesome. And I have to give a little cheer because he's from Sandy and I'm from the neighboring town of Draper, so that makes me almost as cool as him. Right? RIGHT???
Sweet Odin's beard! In for one! Actually, I also just bought Wash Me! on a recycled tee and Only Memories on organic cotton the other day. Guess I really like this artist.
First good Woot shirt in a long time...too bad it's white. White shirts are just a no-go for me. Easily stained, and they look the worst after a few washes...
On anything other than white? In in a heartbeat. On white? I'm passing. Too bad. I quite like it.
Why does it have to be white? It's so gorgeous but I just can't do white shirts. But I still want it... /cry
My knowledge of Norse cosmology is clearly lacking. It was fun seeing 4 and sometimes 5 consonants in a row though. (Yggdrasil)
Cool shirt!
Cool shirt. Tye die for sure ... the white color just won't hold up for very long otherwise.
This is a shirt Odin himself would wear to Ragnarok. Team Valhalla, y'all!
so are the mens AA and womens anvil?
Yggdrasil, not just for fans of Norse mythology. Japanese games seem to be obsessed with the idea too... Secret of Mana. Etrian Odyssey. Xenogears. Dragon Quest. The Tales series. And probably a dozen more I can't think of right now.
Wish it wasn't on white
lisonallie wrote:so are the mens AA and womens anvil?
Looks like it! Which is totally sad. I want one but not if it won't fit me. Heck, I don't even know why I check woot anymore. With poor fitting women's shirts and spiffy designs, all we get is disappointment. Woot: you can have my $12 over and over again if you switch back. *sniff*
I would totally buy one if it wasn't on white. Silver would have been perfect.
We all know that patrickspens can take any tree and make a killer design out of it (Ancient Oak, Sakura Samarai - just to name a couple). But it is really nice to see the amount of versatility this artist has and it is reiterated, again, with this design. Congrats on the print!
I love white shirts and I loooove the art nouveau quality of this design! Patrickspens really got the theme right and worked outside of his normal painterly style. I wish it was on women's AA so it could fit me...or maybe an extra small. *stares at woot expectantly*.
This is the first shirt I've considered buying since the price hike. Are these shirts still made in China or AMURIKA?
At first look I thought awesome, then I looked at it for a while... and stopped liking it as much. It's the tree of life and it's barren... and I'm not a fan of white shirts, but I'm sick of black. I would have loved it if there was life in this tree. Maybe a serpent in the roots. Put it on a seafoam, sky-like, or maybe some shade of dark-blue colored shirt... it would have been a must.

All that said, it's still an admirable design.
I would totally get one if women's sizes were on AA....*sigh*
This one needs to be released as a print. I want this for my wall.
Voted, loved, but - like many above me - must pass because it's on white
ghostofdavid wrote:This is the first shirt I've considered buying since the price hike. Are these shirts still made in China or AMURIKA?
It's noted on the sizing chart. For this one, it's USA for men/kids, Honduras or Nicaragua for women.
Oops. My bad. I didn't see the "country of origin" part of the sizing chart. Love this design. I'm in for one.
one more vote against white shirts. would've been a sale here but for that.
shinnasuka wrote:I would totally buy one if it wasn't on white. Silver would have been perfect.
+1 I just can't do white anymore; it stains way too easily. The main design would look great on gray, of course. But I guess they wanted to preserve the details of the gray background shading that the artist did, and white was probably the only way to do that. Kind of a shame, really... ETA: another request for a print version; white doesn't bother me as much when it's paper
First shirt I've bought from here in a loooong time. First shirt worth buying from here in a long time.
I went to bed early and realized I missed seeing the shirt. Now that I log on, I am well pleased with what I see. Nicely done.
People are saying that the men's shirts are printed on American Apparel, as opposed to Anvil. Is this true? I don't see where it says this. Just want to confirm before buying.
bandit1433 wrote:People are saying that the men's shirts are printed on American Apparel, as opposed to Anvil. Is this true? I don't see where it says this. Just want to confirm before buying.
The size chart shows measurements that match AA measurements for mens' & kids' blanks. Also, it says the mens & kids shirts are made in the U.S. Whether or not the shirts will actually be printed on AA blanks remains to be seen, but they *should* be, according to the info on the size chart. HTH
Check the sizing chart in the description of each shirt. It will indicate the manufacturer's location at the bottom. America = AA. Honduras = Anvil.
If only this wasn't on white...
In for one, just because it's Yggdrasil, and I'm going to try to dye it. I just can't do white. I'm thinking maybe purple. Or even better, a dark blue-green. Although the person with the comment about it being lifeless is quite right. I'd like a serpent in the roots and a couple ravens in the branches, please.

From the Denton County Health Department
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 21, 2013 Denton County Health Department Confirms Five Measles Cases DENTON COUNTY, TX … Denton County Health Department has confirmed five cases of measles, based on clinical symptoms and a link to a previous case. The cases range in age from nine to 17, and are located in the Justin area. All five cases were not immunized. All cases are linked to one previously identified case in Tarrant County, who had traveled outside the United States to a country where measles is common. The most effective way to prevent measles is to be vaccinated. Health officials are encouraging residents to check their vaccination records with their health care provider. "For individuals who are unvaccinated, measles cases in the community should be viewed as a warning to strongly consider vaccination," says Denton County Health Department Director, Bing Burton. "Those who are not currently immunized should re-evaluate the benefits and risks of vaccination, based on the presence of an outbreak." All children should receive one dose of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine between 12-15 months of age, and a second dose before entering school, between four and 6 years. Anyone born during or after 1957 who has not had measles or been vaccinated is at risk and should get at least one dose of MMR vaccine. Two doses are recommended for adults who are at higher risk, such as college students, international travelers, and healthcare personnel. Adults born before 1957 are considered immune to measles. Two measles cases were reported in Denton County earlier this year, with the initial case being a person who traveled to the United States from another country where measles is endemic. Prior to 2013, there have not been any measles cases in Denton County for several years. About Measles Measles is a highly contagious respiratory disease that is spread through sneezing or coughing. The virus can live in the air or on infected surfaces for up to two hours. Measles spreads through the air by breathing, coughing or sneezing. It is so contagious that if one person has it, 90% of people close to that person who are not immune will get it. Measles symptoms typically appear in an infected person between eight to 14 days after being exposed. A typical case of measles begins with a fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and sore throat. Three to five days after the start of symptoms, a red or reddish-brown rash appears around the person's face or hairline, and spreads to the neck, trunk, arms, legs, and feet. The person's fever may spike to more than 104 degrees Fahrenheit. People are considered contagious from four days before to four days after the rash appears. Additional information about the measles illness, complications, and MMR vaccine safety can be found at www.cdc.gov/measles.

Literal question
What is the main source of drinking water for members of your household?
Interviewer instructions
The purpose of the first two questions of this module is to assess the type of household water used for drinking as well as for other purposes, such as cooking and washing hands. Definitions of the various sources of water are as follows (codes refer to those used in WS1 and WS2): '11' - Piped into dwelling, also called a house connection, is defined as water service connected by pipe with in-house plumbing to one or more taps, for example, in the kitchen and/or bathroom. '12' - Piped water to yard/plot, also called a yard connection, is defined as a piped water connection to a tap placed in the yard or plot outside the house. '13' - A public tap or standpipe is a water point from which the public may collect their water. A standpipe may also be known as a public fountain or public tap. Public standpipes can have one or more taps and are typically made of brickwork, masonry or concrete. '21' - A tube-well or borehole is a deep hole that has been driven, bored or drilled with the purpose of reaching groundwater supplies. Boreholes/tube-wells are constructed with casing, or pipes, which prevent the small-diameter hole from caving in and provide protection from infiltration of run-off water. Water is delivered from a tube-well or borehole through a pump that may be powered by humans, animals, wind, electricity, diesel fuel or solar energy. '31' - A protected dug well is a dug well that is protected from run-off water through a well lining or casing that is raised above ground level and a platform that diverts spilled water away from the well. Additionally, a protected dug well is covered so that bird droppings and animals cannot fall down the hole. '32' - An unprotected dug well is a dug well for which one or both of the following are true: (1) the well is not protected from run-off water; (2) the well is not protected from bird droppings and animals. If at least one of these conditions is true, the well is unprotected. '41' - A protected spring is a spring that is free from run-off and from bird droppings and animals. A spring is typically protected by a 'spring box' that is constructed of brick, masonry or concrete and is built around the spring so that water flows directly out of the box into a pipe without being exposed to outside pollution. '42' - An unprotected spring is a spring that is subject to run-off or bird droppings or animals. Unprotected springs typically do not have a 'spring box' (described above). '51' - Rainwater collection refers to rain that is collected or harvested from surfaces by roof or ground catchment and stored in a container, tank or cistern until used. '61' - A tanker-truck water source transports and sells water by means of a tanker truck. '71' - Cart with small tank/drum is used by a water provider who transports water into a community and then sells the water. Types of transports may include donkey cart, motorized vehicle or other means. '81' - Surface water is water located above ground and includes rivers, dams, lakes, ponds, streams, canals and irrigation channels from which water is taken directly. '91' - Bottled water is purchased water sold in bottles. Note that the code refers only to bottled water that is commercially available. Sometimes household members may store water from other sources in bottles - this should not be coded as bottled water. --- Circle the code for the most usual source. If several sources are mentioned, probe to determine the most usual source. If the source varies by season, record the source for the season of the interview. Note that the next question is only asked if the response to this question is 'Bottled water'. You should skip WS2 if the response to WS1 is other than 'Bottled water'. If the response is 'Piped into dwelling' or 'Piped into yard/plot', circle '11' or '12', respectively, and skip to WS5. Otherwise, skip to WS3.

Quarrier Corner: Upperclassmen to be offered more college courses
Our high school juniors and seniors in Dell Rapids have a unique opportunity starting next year. This opportunity, the Governor's Dual Credit program, gives qualifying juniors and seniors the ability to earn college or technical school credit while still in high school. This credit is at a significantly reduced cost and also serves to meet high school graduation requirements. This ultimately provides students a jumpstart in their postsecondary education and future career.Dual credit is available to qualifying high school students at a rate of $40 per credit which is considerably less than the amount they will pay when enrolled in post-secondary college or technical school. Not only do students pay a reduced credit cost, they are exempt from paying any other fees included when enrolled in college or technical school. The combination of these two factors results in an incredible savings.Our students are able to take courses from any of the state colleges. These colleges are Black Hills State University, Dakota State University, Northern State University, South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, South Dakota State University, and University of South Dakota. In addition, there are courses available from Lake Area Technical Institute, Mitchell Technical Institute, Southeast Technical Institute, and Western Dakota Technical Institute. The credits earned through this program will transfer between each of these schools as well. Therefore, students could earn credit from SDSU and ultimately transfer those credits to another college such as NSU in order to earn their ultimate degree.In order to qualify for this program, students must meet ACT college-ready benchmarks in all subtests or meet undergraduate admissions requirements (ACT or coursework). In addition, high school seniors must rank in the upper one-half of their class or score at or above the 50th percentile on the ACT or SAT. High school juniors must rank in the upper one-third of their class or score at or above the 70th percentile on the ACT or SAT. Students interested in taking a dual credit course from one of the four South Dakota Technical Institutes (listed above) must meet the specific program enrollment requirements of the course they are taking. All students who are interested in pursuing this opportunity should visit with Ms. Jennifer Ruesink immediately. She will be able to help determine if your student qualifies and will help him/her register.Dual credit courses provide a number of benefits for our students. They allow our students to take advantage of additional academic opportunities by expanding the number of course choices offered at the local school district. They literally have hundreds of courses available to them. In addition, these dual credit courses give students a chance to really challenge themselves with rigorous, college-level academic courses. For some of our students, this may be a wonderful opportunity to see what their secondary school coursework will be like while still receiving help from those high school teachers they know so well. Another benefit is that these courses may shorten the time it will take for some of our students to complete a degree or certificate program. Students may enter college with a number of college credits and as a result, may be able to finish a degree in less than four years. Finally and perhaps most importantly, these dual credit courses provide a significant cost savings for our families! Students are paying $40.00 per credit hour rather than $145.00 per credit hour. This results in a minimum savings of $315.00 for each three credit course. As stated above, students are also saving money in additional fees assessed during every semester they are on campus. These fees are for parking, food, lodging, and facility use. It is almost impossible to calculate exactly how much our students could save; however, we know it is a considerable amount!If you are interested in learning more about the dual credit courses available, please call the high school office. We would love to sit down with you and discuss your child's qualifications and determine if there are courses he/she would like to register for. Even if your child is not going to be a junior or senior during the 2014-2015 school year, please feel free to call if you are interested. We believe it is important to plan carefully for academic success and now may be the best time for you and your child to make a plan to fit these courses into his/her high school career.

How to prepare for new flooring

This will spoil the look of your new floor and eventually cause it to wear unevenly. Luckily, there are some effective ways to deal with problem floors which we will share with you.
