Gastric Bypass
The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is the most frequently performed weight loss procedure in the United States. In this procedure, the surgeon creates a small stomach pouch, about the size of a thumb.
Other Names
- Roux-en-Y
- Gastric Bypass
- The surgery forces you to change your eating habits.
- Most patients lose weight rapidly and continue to do so until 18 to 24 months after the procedure.
- Scientific studies have shown that gastric bypass surgery helps most people lose weight and keep it off.
- There is a "golden period" after gastric bypass – the time when the body becomes accustomed to less food and people have an easier time developing good eating habits. Simply put, the gastric bypass is the most effective surgery for weight loss.
Procedure Details
The surgeon creates a small stomach pouch by dividing the small intestine, also called the duodenum, for the purpose of pulling it up and attaching it with the newly formed stomach pouch. The other end of the small intestine is connected into the side of the Roux limb (the portion of the small intestine attached to the new small stomach) creating the "Y" shape that gives the technique its name.

The lower-top, lower-bottom formation on the Weekly December Crude Oil chart defines clearly the downtrend. However, the market appears to be trying to establish support inside of a key retracement zone. Based on the $79.12 to $101.01 range, a 50% to 61.8% retracement zone has been created at $90.07 to $87.48. Last week's low at $88.09 stopped inside of this zone, indicating that perhaps value-based investors were bidding.
Besides the main range, a pair of Gann angles is also playing a significant part in the structure of the chart pattern. The downtrending Gann angle at $93.01 has provided direction and guidance for the market since the top at $101.01 was created four weeks ago. On the downside, an uptrending Gann angle at $86.62 is a potential support point.
One reason why a bottom is important at this time is because it will mean that a secondary higher-bottom has formed. This is usually a sign that buyers are beginning to take control of the market. The first rally following an extreme low is usually produced by short-covering. The second time down, buyers usually step in because they have a reference point to the left. This price is often referred to as the "lean" or the exit.
If December Crude Oil is bottoming then it is likely to form inside the retracement zone. It would be nice if a support base forms because often the height of the market is determined by the length of the base. A support base will also represent true buying whereas a spike bottom will likely mean that shorts are covering.
Fundamentally, crude oil price fell sharply last week after the Energy Department reported Oct. 3 thatU.S.crude output rose to 6.52 million barrels a day the previous week. This was the highest production figure since December 1986. Unless production slows or demand picks up, the retracement zone is not likely to stop the slide in prices.
So far the implementation of another round of stimulus by the Federal Reserve in September hasn't worked through the system. It may not be able to trigger a turnaround in the economy either unless coupled with renewed strength inEurope. The combination of these two factors should theoretically lead to firmer prices, but it looks like it is not going to happen over the near-term.
The wildcard is the Middle East. The accelerating conflict between Turkey and Syria could lead to a disruption in supply which could underpin prices or lead to the start of a rally. There is also the possibility of a military strike by Israel on Iran. Both of these scenarios could send crude oil prices soaring because of short-covering and speculation.
It's hard for short-traders to press the market inside the retracement zone if there is a bid holding up prices. However, if short traders, backed by growing supply, continue to pound the buyers then the zone will fail and lower prices will prevail. The formation of a support base will be a strong sign that buyers are taking control, but unless supply begins to trend lower or there is a surprise event, crude oil may just sit in a range.

I Love "Road House," Damn It
Because I love "Road House," damn it.
At first, as I started watching it on cable each time it turned up, I thought perhaps I was simply appreciating it on an ironic level. And I suppose it's still true that there remains that college hipster inside of me who is watching "Road House" simply to laugh at the gratuitous sex scenes and violence and over-the-top dialogue ("I used to fuck guys like you in prison!") plus our dearly beloved Patrick Swayze doing Tai Chi.
But this past week, I put "Road House" on my Netflix queue, and last night while Mr. Pop Rocks was out of town, I ordered a pizza, drank some beer, and sat back and watched this film with a huge smile on my face, going so far as to pause and rewind and watch my favorite scenes over and over.
Which is to say, I watched it in earnest.
Why? Well, for one thing, "Road House" is brilliant because its plot functions in an almost fairy tale setting. Are we really supposed to believe that there's this crew of world-famous bouncers roaming the States, being hired by clubs in small towns in Missouri or wherever, demanding as much as $500 a night in cash (1989 dollars, mind you) to throw out hooligans? Are we honestly supposed to accept the fact that town bully Brad Wesley is just allowed to roam Jasper unchecked, collecting his money and running over car dealerships in his monster truck? Should we really be expected to buy Little Miss Vacant Kelly Lynch as a doctor? Yes, you're supposed to accept all of this and more, and only by accepting it are you able to enjoy "Road House" on a deeper, more fantastical level.
It leaves you pondering stuff, too. Can you really rip out a man's throat with your bare hands? How come Wade Garrett and everyone else thinks Dalton should skip town when he's the only one with the balls to stand up to Wesley? How can a small club in Jasper, Missouri bring in such a huge party crowd? What is a power drinker? Would a man honestly accept $20 to allow another man to touch his wife's breasts in public? (Shouldn't he charge more, even in 1989 dollars?) For what reason does Wade Garrett call Patrick Swayze's Dalton by the Spanish term of endearment "mijo" when neither one appears to know Spanish? Why would a man include information about his NYU philosophy degree in his medical records? And why, in the closing scene, is a naked Kelly Lynch swimming around in the pond while what appears to be the blind guitarist Jeff Healey sits by the shore? Granted, he's blind, but still, that's creepy.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is like all good movies, it leaves you thinking.
I can't be sure when you cross the line between appreciating something on a purely ironic, it's-so-bad-it's-good level and move into the just fucking appreciating something level. But you know what? I'll leave the head scratching question up to some American Studies major out there (or Chuck Klosterman). For now, I just know I love "Road House." I watch it from start to finish five to six times a year, I never get bored of it, and I'm entertained the entire time I'm watching it. If that's a crime, find the bouncer and throw me out of here, because I'm guilty as charged. – Jennifer Mathieu

Charts: Unemployment Benefits' Big Bang for the Buck
Spending on jobless benefits and food stamps has a much higher return on investment than tax cuts.
President Obama is expected to put income inequality, unemployment, and economic growth front and center in tonight's State of the Union address. The speech comes amid continuing congressional intransigence over extending emergency unemployment benefits and food stamps, which has left millions of Americans in financial limbo.
Beyond helping Americans in need, economists say that programs like unemployment insurance and food stamps generate high returns on investment, especially during recessions. According to data from Moody's Analytics, every dollar spent on a temporary increase in food stamps contributes another $1.67 to the economy. A buck of extended unemployment kicks in $1.49. Compare that with the impact of a corporate tax cut—32 cents on the dollar.
"Using the deficit for something like unemployment insurance—that's a multiplier—is a good thing," says Josh Bivens, the director of research and policy at the Economic Policy Institute. "They're shock absorbers, not bad things." Unemployment benefits tend to get spent right away on needs like groceries, for example. Chad Stone, the chief economist at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, explains that as long as you don't raise taxes or cut spending from other programs, this type of spending trickles up, giving the overall economy an added boost.
However, that idea has lost currency, Bivens says, because "the politics are more divisive than they've been for a long time." Some Republicans have argued against extending federal benefits programs, citing the deficit. But that argument doesn't hold up, Bivens explains, because the growth of public spending is at a historic low: "We're undertaking unprecedented austerity on the budget side." (More on the austerity effect here.)
To see how spending in emergency unemployment benefits compares to other programs and tax cuts, see the chart below:

NEW YORK (AP) -- "Jersey Shore" star Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi early Sunday gave birth to her first child, a boy.The reality TV star and her fiance, Jionni LaValle, welcomed 6-pound, 5-ounce Lorenzo Dominic LaValle into the world at just before 3 a.m. Sunday at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, N.J., MTV said."The world just got another Guido!!!," a Polizzi rep told MTV. "Nicole, Jionni & Enzo are doing great!"MTV congratulated Polizzi and her fiance and looked toward the newborn's possible appearance on "Jersey Shore.""We couldn't be happier for Nicole and Jionni on the healthy delivery of their baby boy!," MTV said in a statement. "We look forward to Lorenzo's first trip to the Jersey Shore and can't wait to see his first animal print onesie."MTV has said it's bringing "Jersey Shore" back for a sixth season, with the 24-year-old Snooki as part of the action, but has declined to offer specifics on how big a part Snooki will play in the show about hard-partying Italian-American friends.

What are you most proud of? My original idea of having a couple photos of us in Maryland did not come out. So I painted over them and added writing and glitter.
Although I've crafted for almost 40 years I'm realitively new to mixed media, I really like your style...keep on ignoring the rules! This is a lovely peice, very soft & relaxing. Thank you for sharing your unique, inspiring peice.
Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement! l feel a tad shy about sharing it - but it is such a good place to keep track of all my projects. I think mixed media art quilts may be an acquired taste? My husband isn't on board with it; but seems happy to have me entertained! ;)
I love your work; beautiful colors and movement through out the piece. Please keep sharing.
This is SO unusual! And I really like it! I wouldn't have thought of doing anything like that - you may just have given me some inspiration to try something really different!

Math Mammoth review by Gingerbread Mommy
Review of Math Mammoth Grade 3 complete curriculum by Carrie Kerr
Good sampling of problems for the kids to solve without being overwhelming. Instructions are easy to follow. My third grader can read the instructions by herself and work most of the problems with little help from me. We really like the program and for the first time in years both my children (1st & 3rd) beg to continue their math lessons. The only change I would like to see is a little more detail on the instructions and addition of new material.

I wanted to say that we love Math Mammoth. This is our 3rd year (3rd grade) and our daughter always enjoys math. It amazes me that she learns the new concepts so easily by just following the workbooks. We don't supplement with anything other than reinforcing the lessons through real life situations.
Margaret Glisson
I have enjoyed teaching my daughter from Math Mammoth this year. I can see considerable progress in her math comprehension and her confidence. Thank you very much for sharing with us your math style and offering it at such a great price!
I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to create such a thorough, yet affordable, math program.
My husband and I have engineering degrees and our children have logical minds so we feel pretty strong in teaching math. Well, we started off and hung in with Saxon because it reminded us of how we learned math. Our oldest son became confused and our middle daughter "got it" but absolutely hated it, when previously she was doing math workbooks for fun.
I tried your free worksheets for lack of something better to do and could see how you give them a small chunk of new material per day, then build on it until they master it. This works perfectly with my son's learning style, and my daughter mentioned, "I like how this lady starts off easy then makes it harder. Her word problems are interesting."
I tell anyone who asks how much I like the program. It is rigorous, not dumbed down, but not overwhelming, and a good value for the money.
I hope you are seeing increased business and keep up the great work! Also, the You Tube videos are cool. It would be great to have one for all of your chapters.
Denise, Colorado Springs
I started using Math Mammoth with my daughter with whom I had been using Singapore. I got frustrated trying to coordinate the HIG with the text and the workbook and the textbook didn't have enough explanation for her. She is doing very well filling in some gaps with Math Mammoth now and is now starting to understand some concepts that weren't clear to her before. I'm impressed with how well it is working especially since we've only been using it a couple of weeks.
Dear Mrs. Miller,
Hello! I wanted to let you know that I ordered the Light Blue Series 3rd Grade and we've only used it about 4 days but my daughter is really starting to "get" math. She was using BJU and I absolutely love all of BJU's materials, however, the spiral approach to learning math just wasn't working with my oldest daughter. There wasn't enough repetition and the material seemed to only touch on the topics briefly before moving on. I was a bit behind on grading papers this semester and I noticed as I started grading tests and papers that she was really making some horrible mistakes in addition and subtraction. I looked at her and said "tell me what 5 + 3 is" and she held up her fingers counting them one by one and had to think about it a long time. I was mortified! Especially since my husband and I are both skilled in math more than just about any other subject. We started going through the lessons, and both of us cried many tears the first few days, but when she picked up on the "mental math" it all started to make sense to her. It was as if a light bulb came on! She has done well with math up until this point and so it really surprised me that she just wasn't getting it. I'm really excited about using your curriculum and hopefully she'll gain a much deeper understanding of math rather than having to use her fingers to add and subtract all the time. I'm glad I found you on the internet!

From a homeschooling parent who has used Grade 3 Complete Worktext with a 10-year old fourth grader:
My favorite feature is the printable worksheets on specific topics. My daughter has struggled with confidence, but after a week of targeted worksheets, she knows that she can do it! Now for subtraction with borrowing from zero...
Vicky Schwartz
From a homeschooling parent who has used Grade 3 Complete Worktext with a third grader:
You asked how we liked your program.... Well, just to give you a little history... I found out about your math curriculum through Winter Promise and after looking at the samples from your site as well as ordering one of your small topic e-books, I went ahead & ordered the 3rd grade Lightblue curriculum from Winter Promise. Math is probably the least favorite subject for my daughter & we were having a real struggle with the program we were using before. Even though the program was colorful & looked interesting, it did not seem to explain the concepts behind the math facts. As soon as we switched to the Lightblue curriculum, I noticed an improvement in her attitude towards math. Also, I've noticed that she's been able to retain the information she's learning much better. I'm not sure if that's because we switched from a spiral approach to a mastery approach, but I'm sure that has something to do with it. :) On top of that, we just got her CAT test scores back a couple of weeks ago, and in math she scored in the 98th percentile with a perfect score! We also had her tested one on one with her evaluator and she scored in the 87th percentile with a grade equivalent of 5.1. So, as you can see, we are very happy with your program. :)

From a homeschooling parent who has used Grade 3 Complete Worktext with a third grader:
My daughter was in Saxon math but she was having difficulty learning new concepts and the teacher's book was just too much to sift through and I found it really didn't help much anyways. I switched to the Lightblue series grade 3 about a month ago and use it as our only math curriculum.
Please describe how you have liked the ebooks.
We really love it. I loved the helps on memorizing the multiplication table and within a couple of days my daughter had her 2's down. It is so nice to have the text with the workbook... my daughter really understands each concept as she does her problems. What used to take at least an hour to complete, she now does in 20 minutes. She recently completed her chapter 2 test and only missed one problem... but when I had her look at it again she realized what she did wrong... now that's what I call total comprehension! Thank you for created this series. I'm definitely going to order the grade 4 curriculum.
I wouldn't change a thing. Honestly. In my family we've done Lifepac, BJU, and Saxon and this is by far the best I've found.

Filed by Cleveland-Cliffs Inc
Commission File No. 1-8944
Pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933
and deemed filed pursuant to Rule 14a-12
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Subject Company: Alpha Natural Resources, Inc.
Commission File No. 1-32423
Cleveland-Cliffs Inc, which will be renamed Cliffs Natural Resources in the coming months, is the largest producer of iron ore pellets in North America and a major supplier of metallurgical coal to the global steelmaking industry.
Long known as North Americas premier iron ore mining and processing company, Cliffs expansion and diversification in recent yearsboth geographic and minerallever its proprietary expertise in the markets with the greatest potential for growth.
Today, in addition to its six North American iron ore mines, Cliffs operates three U.S. coking coal mines and owns 85% of Portman Limited, a large iron ore mining company in Australia serving the Asian steel markets. Cliffs also has a 30% interest in the Amapá Project, a Brazilian iron ore mine, and a 45% economic interest in the Sonoma Project, an Australian coking and thermal coal mine. Each of these operations represents an integral component of the companys international growth strategy which will be reflected in the rebranding of Cleveland-Cliffs as Cliffs Natural Resources.
In July 2008, Cliffs entered a definitive merger agreement with Alpha Natural Resources, Inc. (NYSE:ANR), signifying a new tactical milestone by substantially expanding its position in metallurgical coal, extending its reach into new global markets, and dramatically increasing the companys economies of scale.
Upon the expected close at year-end 2008, the combined company will take its place as a new industry leader, with significant holdings in a variety of important steelmaking materials. Cliffs Natural Resources mine portfolio will include nine iron ore facilities and more than 60 coal mines located across North America, South America and Australia, with a reserve base of approximately one billion tons each of iron ore and coal and customers in more than 20 countries. With an expected annual sales volume of 33 million and 18 million tons, respectively, of iron ore and met coal, the company will be well-positioned to meet the robust demand from steel producers in the U.S. and around the world.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The objective of this study is to show that Ezetimibe will improve endothelial function following high cholesterol meals in healthy subjects by decreasing absorption of cholesterol and thus affecting concentration and composition of remnant-like particles.
Condition | Intervention |
Endothelial Dysfunction |
Drug: Ezetimibe |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment Masking: Double-Blind Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Effect of Ezetimibe on Flow-Mediated Brachial Artery Reactivity in Healthy Subjects |
- 1)Flow Mediated dilation
- 1)Lipid profile
Estimated Enrollment: | 24 |
Study Start Date: | September 2006 |
Study Completion Date: | April 2008 |
Primary Completion Date: | April 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
24 subjects will be recruited. Exclusion criteria will be presence of known metabolic syndrome as well as history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, cardiomyopathy and tobacco use. Study will be conducted as double blind placebo controlled crossover trial. Subjects will be randomized to 2 groups. 1st group will receive Ezetimibe for 2 weeks followed by washout (no medication) period for 4 weeks and followed by placebo for 2 weeks. 2nd group will receive Ezetimibe and placebo in reverse order with interspaced 4-week washout period. Each subject will be evaluated during 2 visits at the ends of the intervention periods (Ezetimibe and placebo). Visits will occur after 2 and 8 weeks after enrollment. Subjects will be asked to fast 12 hrs before each visit. During each visit, a subject will undergo brachial artery reactivity study (BART) before consumption of standardized high cholesterol meal and at 3 and 6-hour points after the meal. The standardized high cholesterol meal will consist of 2 Egg McMuffin® sandwiches. This meal weighs 276 g and contains 34g of protein, 60g of carbohydrates, 22g of total fat and 470 mg of cholesterol and has 290 Calories. Subjects also will have blood draws for serum lipid measurement performed before each BART procedure (total of 3 BART and 3 blood sample collections per patient per visit).
Brachial artery reactivity studies will be conducted per following protocol:
- Equipment - Echocardiography system w/vascular software for 2-D imaging, Doppler and high-frequency vascular transducer.
- Initial image - Subject will be placed in a temperature-controlled room (22Cº). With subject positioned supine, left brachial artery will be imaged 5 cm above antecubital crease in longitudinal plane twice. Blood pressure and heart rate will be also measured.
- FMD - 12.5 cm blood pressure cuff will be placed above the antecubital fossa on left arm, baseline flow velocity will be obtained by pulsed Doppler. Thereafter, artery will be occluded by cuff inflation to 50 mm Hg above systolic pressure for 5 minutes and subsequently deflated. The longitudinal image will be obtained 1 min after cuff release.
- FMD w/NTG - 10 min after baseline study, FMD with NTG will be obtained. 0.4 mg sublingual NTG tablet will be given to subject and 4 min later, FMD imaging will be repeated as described above.
- Analysis - Photographic images of end-diastolic frames will be obtained. Images will be analyzed by 2 independent investigators blinded to the subject's identity and temporal sequence of images. Arterial diameter of the brachial artery in longitudinal plane from images where there is clear visualization of anterior and posterior intimal/lumen interface will be determined by caliper measurement. FMD quantified as a percent diameter change of the post-occlusion arterial diameter measurement relative to the mean of the 2 corresponding baseline measurements. Similar analysis will be performed for FMD following administration of NTG.
Lipid testing will be performed using the VAP® test and will include VLDL, LDL, HDL and IDL lipoprotein fractions as well as Triglycerides, Lipoprotein A, CRP and Homocysteine. Statistical analysis will be conducted as follows: group values for percent change in arterial diameter will be expressed as mean +/- SD. 2- tailed paired t-test will be used to compare changes in individual subjects. Two-tailed non-paired t-test will be used to compare values between groups. The analyses for FMD - lipid lowering correlation will be performed using a paired t test for parametrically distributed data and the Wilcoxon matched-pair signed rank test for nonparametrically distributed data to compare baseline data and changes in all variables at the end of the study within each group. The t test will used to compare the baseline characteristics between those receiving ezetimibe and those receiving placebo in all groups. Correlation between variables will be tested using both univariate and multitivariate analyses. The results will be presented as mean ± SD andmedian (25-75 percentiles).

Acute myeloid leukemia induced by mitoxantrone treatment for aggressive multiple sclerosis. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 18612769 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is one of the worst adverse events of mitoxantrone treatment, but the exact risk in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients is not yet known. We describe a case wherein the patient developed t-AML 11 months after mitoxantrone had been discontinued. The patient was treated by polychemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation with complete recovery of t-AML and stabilization of the neurological disease. |

Most Californians would prefer to die a natural death at home without becoming a burden on family. Yet according to this survey, a disconnect exists between what they want and reality.
Final Chapter: Californians' Attitudes and Experiences with Death and Dying (1.28 MB)
According to a CHCF survey of Californians conducted in late 2011, a large majority say they would prefer a natural death if they became severely ill, rather than have all possible medical interventions provided. They would prefer to die at home instead of in a hospital or nursing home. And they want to talk with their doctor about their wishes for care at the end of life. However, Californians don't always get what they want, as this research shows.

Chairman of the Chingay Parade Mr Nah Juay Hng shared this at a media briefing on Thursday. He said: "It's a parade that is co-created by Singaporeans... Through the parade, we hope to share Singapore's culture with the world."
The parade which began in 1973, will also feature 500 performers from six countries this year. They comprise performers from South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Italy and the Philippines.

This study evaluated temperature changes during passive ultrasonic irrigation. Root canals of three extracted maxillary canines were enlarged to size #45. Thermocouples were mounted 3, 6, and 9 mm from the apical foramen. Teeth were placed in a water bath at 37 degrees C. Distilled water (20 degrees C) was continuously delivered through an ultrasonic unit (group 1) or deposited into the root canal before ultrasonic activation (group 2); for activation, noncutting nickel-titanium (NiTi) inserts or stainless steel K-files #15, #25, and #35 were used. Before and during ultrasonic activation, temperatures were continuously measured for 210 seconds. Statistical analysis was performed using analysis of variance and Scheffé post hoc tests. Temperatures initially decreased by up to 7.4 degrees C; these drops were significantly smaller in group 1 than in group 2 (p < 0.001) in the middle and apical root canal third. The decreases were followed by temperature rises for all inserts in group 2. However, in group 1, temperatures just reached baseline values in middle and apical thirds; in the coronal root canal third, lower temperatures were measured. In group 2, mean temperature rises were 7.7 degrees , 7.5 degrees , and 4.2 degrees C in coronal, middle, and apical root canal thirds. Here, K-file type inserts size #35 generated highest and inserts size #15 the lowest temperatures rises; NiTi inserts were more effective than size #15 K-files and less effective than #35 K-files. Continuous flow negated the potential of ultrasonic activation to heat irrigation solutions. Noncutting NiTi instruments and large K-files were more effective than small K-files in warming deposited irrigants.

In Connors' case i find it more interesting, if we speculate (reasonably) about the circumstances of his era, which he couldn't change. Just imagine for a moment the situation of today with the majors surfaces clay, slow grass, and hard court and put it into the time frame of 1975-1983. Hard court was certainly Connors' best surface. Its not a stretch of imagniation, that he would have won 7 US opens on a hard court, when they had laid down a hard court instead of har tru at Forest Hills. He was in all finals anyway 1974-1977, but imo would have beaten Orantes and Vilas. Connors was vulnerable on grass, because of his pretty weak serve and his low forehand weakness, but it could be that he would have fared better on the slow grass of today (for instance against Ashe, Newcombe or McEnroe). Given he would have more participated, on the AO with a modern slower hard court, he could well have won the same amount of events like Agassi, who did very well at AO. So just this example of Connors shows, that the circumstances of previous eras era are be considered. The historical situation however gave Connors a record that will never be beaten: that he won the USO on 3 different surfaces.

The measure passed it's first reading in the house, there will be another reading tomorrow.
A group of Western Slope residents traveled to Denver today to show their opposition to the proposed rules. Business leaders say a recession is not the time to be making it harder for a business to operate in Colorado. Supporters of the rules say they're necessary to protect the environment and wildlife near drilling areas.

Cleaning up after pets is a never-ending project; and never more so than when it's raining outside and the dog barrels inside with muddy paws. But there are a few ways to stop the mud from entering your house in the first place.
Items you will need
- Floor mats
- Towels
- Dog boots
Step 1
Place a wide industrial floor mat both outside and inside the door frequented by the dogs. These mats are designed to catch dirt and mud, as well as prevent slips and falls. Simply wash them off with a hose for easy clean-off.
Step 2
Keep a stack of old towels next to the doors where dogs frequently enter. Wipe their paws off with a towel before they enter the house, and toss the dirty towels in the laundry for clean-up. Teach your dog to wait for paw wiping before he enters the house.
Step 3
Create a mudroom -- if you don't already have one -- by using an attached garage, walk-out basement, sunroom, porch or laundry room that can be entered from the outside; doors can always be added to make an entrance. Use this room for clean-up before a wet dog is allowed entrance to the rest of the house.
Step 4
Fit your dog with boots that are made to keep his paws dry during inclement weather. The boots slide on and attach with a simple fastener and can then be removed upon his return to the interior of the house.
- A bucket of water can be left outside the door to dip the dog's feet in prior to toweling them off.

Trouble with Doom3
I recently upgraded my mb and processor to the setup you see in my signature. It runs everything like a dream, HL2, UT2004 etc. But Doom3 plays very choppy and lags. It ran better on my xp2600. I have tried reinstalling the game with no luck.
Thanks in advance!AMD 64 3500+ 939 2.2ghz

September 17th, 2005, 04:44 PM #2
first, the 6600 isn't the GT which would have been better , and to run Doom 3 , at least 1 gig of ram would be the best.... i notice a huge difference from 512 to 1 gig with Doom3 , it's a very demanding game...
September 17th, 2005, 04:57 PM #3
did you install the latest update to the game?
Updated your video and chipset drivers too?
September 17th, 2005, 06:28 PM #4
did you reformat and reinstall the OS after you upgraded mobo?
September 17th, 2005, 06:53 PM #5
Ya, get anouther 512mb, or gig of ram if you can...
Ya, a reformat would really help, but I think you would be ok with a repair install of xp...I think..."The problem with quotations on the internet is that the sources are hard to verify" - Abraham Lincoln

Yeah, I downloaded all the latest drivers and did a reformat after upgrading, guess I'll try to get more memory when I can.

Cain | |||||
Ren Hayes | |||||
Cabal Asylum, 32 pages | |||||
A review by A.L. Sirois
At the same time I was reading MAD. I was knocked out by the skill of Mort Drucker, George
Woodbridge and the other artists. I picked up the old MAD paperbacks (well, they weren't so old then)
from Ballantine and realized that MAD had been even better than it was then, in the 60s. I'm
talking Harvey Kurtzman here, and Wally Wood, Jack Davis, Will Elder.
I read everything about comics that I could find, too. As a result, I gained an understanding of and
appreciation for the history of the field, all the way back to the primitive strips of the late 1800s, on
through the brilliant work of Winsor McKay (Little Nemo in Slumberland) and George McManus
(Bringing up Father) and so many others, on through the great 30s strips like Krazy Kat and Flash
This was really heaven for me. I was particularly attracted to Wally Wood's emphatic style. I
began copying his stuff into my sketchbooks so I could see how things got done.
Not that I had a clue, you know. But I began to get a dim understanding of some of the basics.
Long story shortened, years later I realized a boyhood dream and actually got to work for Wood in the
70s as his assistant. Did I learn a few things? Well, duh!
(One thing I learned was that SF writer Harry Harrison worked with Woody for a short time!)
Anyway, I did comics pretty seriously for a while there. Then I got out of the field, but I retain an
interest in it. I still love cartooning and animation. I've even published a minicomic or two of my own, in
addition to comic book continuity (scripts) and so on.
So when Cain arrived, I was looking forward to it.
But I have to say that I'm somewhat disappointed.
I think the idea of it is fine -- it's a Harlan Ellison riff with the original Cain still being kept alive
by a vengeful god. But after Hayes sets up the situation he doesn't really follow through satisfactorily.
Cain lives in the huge, ever-changing city of Nod, where he is the master. He is prey to hallucinations of
blood and death, and slays with impunity anyone who crosses his path. The whole setup reminds me of the
old Mister X comics, with an enigmatic figure having weird adventures in a mysterious city.
So what we have is essentially a study of violence and pathology, done in Ren Hayes's emphatic
but crude post-modern style, with a lot of emphasis on photocopies to provide the backgrounds. In other
words, it's a super-anti-hero comic. That's okay, but...
The big problem is that Hayes really doesn't draw that well. His characters' hands, in particular,
are imperfectly articulated. Cain's face is Mongolian, flat and mask-like with no subtlety of expression.
No details of his form are discernible because he always wears a billowing black cloak. I haven't seen any
of Hayes's other work, but judging by this, he absorbed some of the superficialities of Marvel comics
anatomy and figure posing (you know, that heroic Thor "By the gods!" jive with the pointing and the
bulging muscles and so on), seized upon post-punk handbill art as a guide to layout, and a superficial
Biblical theme as a means to a provide a lot of violence and bloodletting.
Because that's pretty much all
that happens: Cain wrestles with his demons, both real and imagined, and slashes them to bits.
Give me The Spirit any day. Will Eisner (and Jules Feiffer, who did a lot of the scripting) knew
how to write characters with depth and put them into human situations. Cain has too few points of contact
to allow any real empathy with the character.
I think the EC horror comics did more interesting stories. (Hell, I think Dave Sheridan, Fred
Schrier, R. Crumb and Gilbert Shelton, et al, did better stories in the 60s and 70s undergrounds!) And as
far as the psychological stuff, I haven't seen anything that tops the DC series Watchmen from the last decade.
Marvel beat that horse to death with Spiderman and his neurotic ilk, anyway.
It doesn't do a lot for me, either as a story or as graphic art. Maybe I'm just too old-fashioned --
maybe I just don't get it. I am willing to cop to that. I am old-fashioned enough to expect good art and
stories with depth.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for indy (independent) comic publishing, and Hayes has done all the
work here. He's promoting himself and getting the review copies out. That's how artists build an
audience. But his product doesn't hold up under scrutiny, at least as far as I am concerned. On the other
hand, it's healthy for a creative person's reach to exceed his or her grasp. This is how artists develop. I
hope the next issue of Cain will be an improvement over this one.
