4 Tips for Properly Attacking Animals with a Bicycle Chain
Mental Preparation
Attacking an animal with a bicycle chain takes an enormous amount of mental discipline. A bicycle chain is itself a kind of untamed beast, and if you hope to master its sinuous wiles, you must learn to master your own chemical imbalances first.
There are three main emotions you may find yourself in when attacking animals with a bicycle chain:
Emotion #1: Fear
Fear can come from a lot of places. It might be exam-preparation stress, or the terror of facing a charging animal, or even the dread about what society will think when they find out what you're about to do to this duck. How you handle this fear is important - the adrenaline fear provides can cause your bicycle chain employing muscles to flex powerfully. Scientists call this Bicycle Chain Beast Mode or at least they would if they had any sense of showmanship.
Emotion #2: Ire
You've got good reason to be angry with the animals. You know who never has to pay any taxes? Animals. You know who shits wherever they like? Animals. You know who slept with your mother last night? etc... Animals can do whatever they want, wherever they want, and you're sitting there like a chump, pooing where you're told.
I've had enough with all your god damned rules toilet.
Like fear, rage will cause your adrenaline to pump, making you stronger. But you have to be careful, as it can make you overly aggressive, potentially getting you in trouble down the road. Many legal tests for self-defense collapse around the twenty-fifth bicycle chain lash. And if you chase a penguin across an entire zoo screaming obscenities at it, "That's not self defense at all," many judges will claim, shaking their heads with a confused and hurt look on their faces. "We don't have a crime for what you've done."
Emotion #3: Your Bicycle Repair Shop Is Under Attack By Animals
This is a complex and very specific emotion which is only really felt by bicycle mechanics, and even then only infrequently. But it's such a powerful one that it deserves to be mentioned here, and is perhaps the best and most focused mental state to be in when leaping from a work bench, bicycle chain a-whirl, shouting, "Welcome to my house of chain!"
Animal Specific Strategies
Finally, here are some strategies for how to handle specific animals that you may find cause for attacking with a bicycle chain. Whether dangerous, adorable, or legally protected, know that all hate being struck with a bicycle chain.
Domestic Cat
This might seem like a good idea to start with, because domestic cats are small, and often a bit off-putting. But it turns out that there are cell phone cameras everywhere, all of them connected to the Internet at all times. There was that one woman in England who got caught throwing a cat in a garbage can, evidently because she was kind of a low grade supervillain. (AntiCatwoman?) She caught just enormous amounts of hell for that, and it's something you should probably avoid. No, I would suggest restricting yourself to attacking animals which are themselves attacking you, deserve it, or are less culturally embedded than cats.
Monkeys are very curious animals, constantly getting into mischief, and often deserving of a good thrashing. They're also highly agile, and will prove difficult to strike with a bicycle-chain. Be wary of snaring your chain on a branch or other obstacle, which may allow the monkey to grasp the other end and enter into a tug of war with you. Losing a tug of war to a monkey and getting struck by your own bicycle chain is one of the lowest things that can happen to a man, and is the number one fear of all professional cyclists.
The phrase "being fed to the wolves" typically isn't used literally any more, because of the relative imbalance between morality and wolves in our society. But that ratio is changing fast, and the way television is going it probably won't be long before someone - probably a failed contestant from The Bachelor -- volunteers to be actually fed to wolves in order to get on television.
"Please love us!"
If you think you're desperate and photogenic enough to be that person, heed these next words carefully: dual-wielded bicycle chains. Brash, kinetic, and wildly ineffective, a pretty girl swinging around two bicycle chains like a dervish will make for good television, and although you certainly won't win a fight against a wolf, you may survive long enough to get your own heavily-scarred, multiple-amputation themed Flava of Luv style show.
First, using basic weaving techniques, make yourself a suit entirely out of bicycle chains. This might sound insane, and it is, but it is much less insane then the next step, which is actually getting close to the bear. Bears are 800 pounds of furry violence, and are constantly eating things that aren't wearing 5/32" width bicycle-chain suits. Look it up.
Once you're up close to the bear and have had a good laugh at God, feel free to attack the bear in any way you see fit, although you'll be hard pressed to do any real damage to it. One thing I'd suggest is bear back riding, which if you manage to pull it off, is bound to get you mentioned in a Cracked article at some point in the future.
By the time you get to attacking a giraffe with a bicycle chain, you're clearly not a beginner any more. Kudos! As an expert animal-bicycle-chain-attacker-with, I'm going to propose a very advanced technique to you which is going to involve a very long bicycle chain, a high speed vehicle, and a whole lot of nerve. Because you're about to bring one of those fuckers down like an AT-AT.
Forget the Cracked article, if you manage to do this to a giraffe, people will write songs about you.
The Deadliest Animal Of All
As my editors have pointed out, when a fellow writes a guide about how to stripe animals with a bicycle chain, he's probably going to get a lot of angry animal-lovers who threaten to murder him, or at minimum who'll want to thrash him a bit himself with a bicycle chain. As my duty to provide useful advice to all readers of this article is absolute, I'd like to speak to the furious amongst you for a moment, and offer some advice on how best to beat me down like a rented mule.
- I am taller than average and will probably see you coming.
- I know no martial arts, but have seen Timecop three times.
- I tend to move to my right when dodging.
- I throw five knives out of my sleeves in a regular pattern, which should be easy to dodge.
- When I'm charging up my primary attack, Satire-Fist (where my entire forearm detaches and shoots across the room like a rocket) my chest glows red. This is my weak spot. Three strikes there with a bicycle chain and I will stumble, before entering my final form, Omega-Bucholz.
- Omega-Bucholz can be defeated by answering three riddles.
- If you finally manage to do all that, I will escape into the sky using one of my trademark trick umbrellas -- don't attempt to reload from a save point -- this cannot be stopped.

He's 35 years of age but some people think he still looks like a baby-faced boy. Leonardo DiCaprio may look younger than his years, but he's come a very long way from playing a homeless kid on Growing Pains.
His striking good looks were complemented by a fierce intensity in This Boy's Life; he would need every ounce of courage to stand up to Robert DeNiro as his eventual stepfather, a hidden cauldron of anger and rage. DiCaprio faced up to another challenge in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, fleshing out the more demonstrative role as Johnny Depp's brain-damaged younger brother and earning an Academy Award nomination. Lesser actors would have been glad merely to have survived acting against a powerhouse like DeNiro or a young male icon like Depp; DiCaprio appeared to thrive under the pressure, moderating the showy nature of the roles with a welcome degree of subtlety. Either of those roles could have been his best, but he had more to offer.
His supporting bit in The Quick and the Dead, Sam Raimi's Sharon Stone-starring Western, alongside Russell Crowe and Gene Hackman, feels like a lark, something done purely for fun. He turned back toward darkness for his first lead performance in The Basketball Diaries, an edgy performance in an uneven film, and then an even less commercial role in Total Eclipse, convincingly essaying a massively troubled man in love with another troubled man. The latter two -- raw, roiling in tension -- are definite contenders for his best role ever.
Then came the one-two romantic punch of Romeo + Juliet and Titanic, with a little Marvin's Room drama thrown in for good measure. In the latter, he once again showed that he belonged on screen with the likes of Meryl Streep. His charm and charisma made it deceptively easy for him to put on the mantle of Young Romantic Lead, and millions swooned as his heart melted with Juliet and Rose. His acting in those parts is fine and capable and light on its feet, not easy qualities to maintain when you consider the strong personalities of the directors involved, but neither is his best role.
Leo now stood on top of the worldwide box office. Could he resist the siren call of the big bucks? The Man in the Iron Mask replied with a muffled "no." Danny Boyle's The Beach felt muddled. Woody Allen's Celebrity was awful and Leo looked confused. His personal life was getting more attention than his movies. Maybe his best work was behind him.
Don't tell that to Martin Scorsese or Steven Spielberg. Five years after the enormous success of Titanic threatened to derail a serious acting career, DiCaprio was back on track and better than ever. Gangs of New York and Catch Me If You Can were big-budget, commercial-minded projects, but they were also ambitious and daring. As I've written here in the past, DiCaprio was sometimes uncertain in Gangs and outshone by Daniel Day Lewis, but he was a deft, lithe, sincere liar in Catch Me, digging beneath the surface of a charming, counterfeit personality. Catch Me If You Can was his best work up to that point.
Since then, DiCaprio has worked with Scorsese three more times, a collaboration that continues to irk some people, as in: 'What does he see in him?' He made the workmanlike Blood Diamond, toed up as Action Jackson to an office-bound Russell Crowe in Body of Lies, and tried (and failed) to rekindle a doomed romance with Kate Winslet in Sam Mendes' disastrously miscalculated Revolutionary Road. None of those latter three represent his best work, so we circle back around to his films under the direction of the aging Scorsese.
DiCaprio strained mightily to bring Howard Hughes to life in The Aviator, but the seams were showing. He stood out in The Departed for his steely resolve and haunted determination. Yet it's his performance in Shutter Island that sets a new standard.
As a tough detective, DiCaprio is searching for something very important and extremely personal. He thinks he knows what he's looking for, but he doesn't, and that's part of the reason why his search becomes so tragic. My opinion of the film, and of his performance, has only risen since I first saw it. DiCaprio never resorts to tics or mannerisms to communicate the flaws of his character. He's a lost soul, doing the best he can, and visions of the film continue to haunt me, gnawing into my sleep.
Leonardo DiCaprio's best role is in Shutter Island.

Americans across the country paused Wednesday to remember the victims killed 12 years ago in the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history.
In New York, relatives recited the names of the nearly 3,000 people who died when hijacked jets crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and near Shanksville, Pa.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden marked the anniversary with a moment of silence on the South Lawn. They walked out of the White House at the exact moment the first plane hit the World Trade Center tower.
The commemorations will end with the Tribute in Light display, beginning at nightfall from New York's Ground Zero.
On 911day.org, thousands have already pledged to do some type of benevolence work this day to honor the victims.
Meanwhile, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the threat of terror in the Big Apple still exists.
"Terrorism is as great, if not greater, than before the World Trade Center was destroyed," Kelly said.

Smartphone Teledermoscopy Referrals: A Novel Process for Improved Triage of Skin Cancer Patients
doi: 10.2340/00015555-1906
In this open, controlled, multicentre and prospective observational study, smartphone teledermoscopy referrals were sent from 20 primary healthcare centres to 2 dermatology departments for triage of skin lesions of concern using a smartphone application and a compatible digital dermoscope. The outcome for 816 patients referred via smartphone teledermoscopy was compared with 746 patients referred via the traditional paper-based system. When surgical treatment was required, the waiting time was significantly shorter using teledermoscopy for patients with melanoma, melanoma in situ, squamous cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma in situ and basal cell carcinoma. Triage decisions were also more reliable with teledermoscopy and over 40% of the teledermoscopy patients could potentially have avoided face-to-face visits. Only 4 teledermoscopy referrals (0.4%) had to be excluded due to poor image quality. Smartphone teledermoscopy referrals allow for faster and more efficient management of patients with skin cancer as compared to traditional paper referrals.

NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA ) is often asked at various investor conferences if it will be the "next TI." This is, of course, a reference to the fact that Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN ) decided to give up attempting to compete in the mobile applications processor world. The harsh truth was that the R&D required to really compete effectively in this space is staggering and without meaningful market share/revenues, competing in this business is doomed to be a money sink for investors. Indeed, NVIDIA's Tegra division has already lost over $400 million during the first three quarters of its current fiscal year.
Would bailing on Tegra even save a lot of money?
At the recent BMO Technology & Digital Media conference, an analyst boldly asked the following question,
When do [sic] you guys going to shutdown Tegra and return even more of cash to investors? How does [sic] sort of give up on this mobile effort? How does, I think you have spoken to this a little bit, but how does [sic] Jen-Hsun or you sort of react to that situation?
Interestingly, the NVIDIA representative had the following to say with respect to the major losses in Tegra,
And so, if we were to shutdown Tegra, you don't save as much money as you would think. So that's not effective as the way we allocate cost, which is perhaps in retrospect now that we're hearing these questions, first person to have asked that is -- perhaps was something we should have told that more when we told about how we allocated costs.
This is pretty interesting. While it was always pretty clear that NVIDIA did leverage a great deal of the development of its traditional GPU architectures in the development of Tegra, it's interesting to hear that the R&D leverage is actually quite a bit higher than the losses in the division would tend to suggest.
On one hand, this is great for the Tegra division as it suggests that the likelihood that NVIDIA actually exits this business (which is, frankly, the most exciting business NVIDIA has from a pure growth perspective). On the other hand, this does mean that the other businesses (which are exceptionally profitable) may not be as profitable as the numbers would suggest.
How Tegra can succeed over time
NVIDIA has been pretty upfront about the fact that its Tegra business isn't just about phones – it's about powering compute devices that benefit from a differentiated graphics processing unit. While NVIDIA is likely to gain share in the smartphone and tablet markets if it can build a track record of consistent execution with Tegra, there are plenty of other places to play.
For example, NVIDIA's automotive/in-vehicle infotainment business has about $1 billion-2 billion worth of business already booked (and should be recognized over the next several years as the cars with NVIDIA's chips ship). This is an area that NVIDIA rival, Intel (NASDAQ: INTC ) , has also cited as an area of strength at its recent analyst day. On top of that, there are other areas such as point-of-sale terminals and arcade gaming machines for which Tegra would be particularly well suited.
Finally, if NVIDIA's Tegra 4i and/or its upcoming Tegra 5 turn out to be smash hits, NVIDIA could eventually gain enough momentum to breakeven and eventually turn a profit in Tegra from smartphones and tablets alone. While these markets are difficult and cutthroat (Intel and Qualcomm are the giants here), NVIDIA has done well in profitable and cutthroat businesses in the past (in the early 90's there were dozens of PC graphics chip manufacturers; today there's only a handful).
Foolish bottom line
It's becoming even clearer that NVIDIA has no intentions of becoming the "next TI" – it's going to fight tooth and nail to bring Tegra to profitability. While it's a difficult road ahead, and while the company's GPUs can (and will) be expanded into more lucrative (but more niche) areas, NVIDIA's management seems set to become a leader in the low power system-on-chip market and, in the process, a compelling growth story in the semiconductor space.

This monograph is a collection and detailed survey of cases of fibrocystic disease of the pancreas seen at The Hospital for Sick Children, in London. An account of the literature is presented which is clear and concise. A chapter on clinical material conveys the over-all features of 116 case reports, to include the natural history of fibrocystic disease of the pancreas; various laboratory investigations, such as pancreatic enzyme determinations and roentgenologic data, and the treatment of the disease. There is an outstanding chapter on the familial incidence of the disease, in which 77 family trees are studied. The chapter on pathology is detailed and is abundant with gross photographs and photomicrographs. The main concept is that fibrocystic disease of the pancreas is the result of "mucosis," a fundamental abnormality of mucous secretion of epithelial cells wherever in the body mucus is secreted.

Before the cruise we stayed in Hotel Ciutat Del Prat. I highly recommend this four star hotel that provided airport and cruise terminal shuttles plus a great breakfast for less than $150 per night.
Embarkation and debarkation were flawless as was debarkation at the ports of call. Since this was our first visit to Italy this 12 day cruise was perfect. We visited all the most popular sites with two days in Venice which allowed us time "to get lost" in this fascinating city. We booked tours privately with other passengers met through Cruise Critic's roll calls. This is a great service. I must put in a good word for Aequa Limo tours of Amalfi Coast, a great and great tour and they didn't even require credit cardgreat tour and they didn't even require a credit card #to reserve a tour.
Service on the ship at all levels was friendly and professional. The ship's staff went out of their way to be helpful. When I got word from home that my Mom had fallen and was hospitalized, the ship's staff not only rescheduled our flight home but arranged a call to the hospital.
Food was always good in the dining room. Lido deck food was ok but desserts not so good.
This was a fantastic cruise. My only complaint is a problem seen on many ships and that is passengers who reserve lounge chairs and leave them unattended and unused.

Sass & the City: Compactism rears its ugly head
I like small, quirky cars.
Get over it.
While driving in the wicked winter weather last week -- storms that dumped what felt like 2 feet of snow on the streets -- I experienced a new kind of prejudice: compactism.
Impatient drivers -- mostly those driving large trucks and SUVs -- took issue when my little bitty red Mini Cooper stopped traffic after it got stuck in a mound of snow left by snowplows at the end of the driveway.
This happened twice.
The first time, which occurred as I attempted to exit my office driveway, a few co-workers and a gallant motorist came to the rescue and gave "Scarlett" a push.
But in the second case, a fellow driver squandered all the energy he could have spent helping me by sitting in his gargantuan Lincoln Navigator, beeping the horn incessantly. When I got out of the car to try to kick away the small dune of snow left by the snowplow, he rolled down his window and shouted at me.
"Buy a REAL car, lady!"
After a few minutes, I was able to clear the snow and pull away from the unchivalrous egghead.
The whole scenario got me to thinking that some drivers truly are compactists. As soon as the first snowflakes fall, they want everyone to drive flame-throwing reconnaissance tanks.
This disdain for small vehicles is not limited to Mini Coopers, either.
I've owned a VW Beetle, a Renault LeCar and several other clever little compacts. All were uniformly discriminated against at the first sign of a winter weather slip, slide, wheel spin or -- heaven forbid -- being stuck in the snow.
Jeez. I'm driving a small car, people, not starving my children. Take a pill!
Despite a few minor winter challenges, teeny cars rock for a number of reasons:
They fit those half-sized parking spots right in front of the building that no one else can squeeze into.
Annual savings on gas expenditures equal Caribbean vacation.
Because they're even harder to find in parking lots, you can ask cute guys for help.
Lack of space is a handy excuse for getting out of helping friends move.
Groups of clowns want to see how many of them can fit into it. Depending on how you feel about clowns, this may not be a good thing.
Compactists: Next time you're scraping 3 inches of ice off your big SUV windows, you may just think smaller is better!

DOHA: The Arab and Islamic world is watchful, looking for signs, if any, of growing bonhomie between Israel and India's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that has won a landslide victory in recent elections, experts say.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has extended warm greetings to BJP's Prime Minister-elect, Narendra Modi, for steering his party to a historical win in the elections — something which is viewed by many in the Arab world with some unease.
What has raised eyebrows in this part of the world is a reminder by an Israel-based news portal, Al Masdar (meaning 'Source' in Arabic), that Modi's election is "bad for the Muslim world because of his enmity with Islam".
"During his governorship (rule) in Gujarat (the western Indian state) a 1,000 people, most of them Muslims, were killed," says the portal, citing this as the basis of the perception that Modi is an enemy of Muslims and Islam.
"Modi's poll victory has given hopes to Israel for more cooperation with the world's largest democracy," said Al Masdar.
"With the coming in of the new government, what is sure is that there will be a big change in India's foreign policy."
New Delhi is the largest weapons buyer in the world and Israel is one of the major exporters. Israel sells defence technology and equipment, among them missile carrying ships and drones and electronic fighting equipment worth billions of dollars.
Annual trade between the two countries has been worth a staggering $5bn, says Al Masdar, describing Israel as the only democracy in the Middle East.
Economic ties between the two countries are expected to grow further and cooperation in fields such as education and agriculture are improving considerably.
Asked to comment on the above issue, Dr Abdullah Ba Aboud, Director of Gulf Studies Centre at Qatar University, told The Peninsula yesterday that Israel is always concerned about its relations with emerging powers like India and China.
The Arab countries, on the other hand, are busy grappling with their own problems in the aftermath of the Arab Spring — a reference to the situation in Syria, Egypt, Libya and Yemen.
Israel is quite keen not to be dependent entirely on the US and so is always on the lookout for newer relations and alliances, said Ba Aboud.
"This is Tel Aviv's strategy while Arabs lack any such strategy and policy."
"Arabs don't know how to exploit situations to their benefit. They are always busy grappling with their own problems."
The fact, however, remains that even before the BJP and Modi rode to power, relations between India and Israel have been strong and cordial, said Ba Aboud. "They have close ties in the fields of defence and scientific research."
The only difference now is that Israel is "happily" aware that it shares a common viewpoint with the BJP and their ideologies are somewhat similar: both have enmity with Muslims.
Meanwhile, Dr Mohamed Noman, vice-chairman of International Studies Center at Bahrain University allayed doubts about the BJP taking India closer to Tel Aviv at the expense of its historical relations with India, Aljazeera.net reported.
"India's relations with Arabs are too old and cultural, economic and political, and too deep to be affected by its growing links with Israel," Noman was quoted by Aljazeera.net as saying. India should not be treated as an exception. Most countries in the world are developing closer ties with Tel Aviv.
Muslims in India are losing their influence in politics and are increasingly under pressure from the BJP, especially since 2002. "And when we talk of Indo-Israel ties, we must not forget that there is a powerful American lobby that has influence over India."
India's relations with Arabs are age-old. They are geographically close and have had no border disputes. However, Indo-Pak ties have had some impact on these relations after partition. The Kashmir issue also affected ties, said Noman.
He said there are an estimated four million Indians in the Gulf and are the basis of stronger Indo-Arab ties.
Gulf countries have a population of 38m. Expat have a 36 percent share in it. Indians constitute 70 percent of the expat population in the Gulf, said Noman. Indians in the Gulf and other Middle East countries remit annually $40bn home. So no government in India can hope to undermine its ties with the GCC and Arab world, said experts.

Look for Bruce Willis to be running around town again.
Writer-director M. Night Shyamalan of Wayne has just bagged the Jersey boy to star in his forthcoming feature, The Sixth Sense, to begin filming around Philadelphia in April. In the Disney/Hollywood Pictures film, Willis will play a child psychologist shot by a boy he's counseling.
Willis previously filmed Twelve Monkeys here.
Shyamalan, 27, earned in the neighborhood of $3 million for the script - one of the top three spec screenplay sales in Hollywood history. His second feature, Wide Awake, stars Rosie O'Donnell and Denis Leary and also was shot locally. It will open March 27.

TRENTON — Councilwoman Phyllis Holly-Ward has officially won enough votes from Tuesday's election to avoid the need for a runoff election, City Clerk Richard Kachmar said officially today.
Since there will be no runoff election, Holly-Ward and Alex Bethea and Duncan Harrison — the two with the next highest vote tallies — are officially elected to terms beginning on July 1.
Kachmar said state law requires one candidate in the at-large race, where there are three open seats, to have more than one-sixth of the votes cast for at-large candidates. The total number of votes, including the 188 provisional votes, was 18,176. Holly Ward beat the cutoff by more than 200 votes.
Kachmar certified the election results yesterday after processing the provisional ballots.
In addition to the at-large race, he also confirmed that mayoral candidates Eric Jackson, who had 3,052 votes, and Paul Perez who had 2,166 votes, will meet in a runoff election on June 10. Both Jackson and Perez had 32 provisional votes cast for them out of the 111 provisional votes cast in the race. The runoff is needed because one candidate did not win more than 50 percent of the vote.
There will also be a runoff in the East Ward council race where incumbent Councilwoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson will face Joseph Harrison, who unsuccessfully challenged her four years ago. Only 16 provisional votes were cast in the East Ward, and did not have an impact on the need for a runoff.
Kachmar said the certified results also show that incumbents — South Ward Councilman George Muschal, North Ward Councilwoman Marge Caldwell-Wilson and West Ward Councilman Zachary Chester — won back their seats.

Customer Question
My cat is laying limp crying and breathing very heavily. She doesn't wince when I push towards her abdominal area or her chest, but occasionally she dues stretch out and it seems that each time she does 2 of her 4 paws will stiffen up in those limbs. I'm worried she may have had a stroke. Also, a little while back she did let loose of some bodily fluids, which worries me as we had a cat once that had some of these symptoms and she passed within 20 - 30 minutes.
* Later we found the other animal had white gums though, and apparently hadn't been drinking the water we'd put down for her, not sure why....but it seems she passed from dehydration. My cat I am with right now however has darker pink gums with a light gray-ish tint, so I'm not thinking that she's dehydrated. Also her body weight hasn't changed at all.
PLEASE HELP ME IN ANY WAY YOU CAN WITH SOME ADVICE - I have no money for a vet. :(

I'm very sorry to hear that your little one is in this shape. I'm going to be very honest and direct in saying that she sounds very much like she's suffering severely and dying. The fact that she's lying limp, crying, and stretching out all point towards her body shutting down. What the cause for this is, is something that we most likely won't be able to determine. I know that you don't want to see her suffer. It would absolutely be the most kind thing for her to get her to the vet so they can look her over. If you don't have the finances to pursue further tests and therapy, the decision to let her go humanely can then be made. I know this isn't the choice that you want to make, but it is the kindest one that might be made for her if she's as bad as I'm picturing.
Please get her in. They'll help you to make the best decision.

I was kinda looking for some other advice. For example, our suspicion was that she'd had some form of feline stroke. As a vet can you tell me what side effects an animal would have in this case and what her chances of pulling out of this are?
Dr. Bruce
replied 7 years ago.
Could she have had a vascular accident such as a stroke? Definitely. These events will typically occur very suddenly and cause very severe respiratory distress or death if the lungs or heart are involved. If the clot goes to the hind legs, it will cause paralysis of the rear legs. Could this be a mirad of other diseases too? YES. She could have renal failure, severe liver failure, severe diabetes, just to name a few things. Very honestly, I can't give you chances of her pulling out of this because I don't know what it is she has. It sounds very severe by what you're describing. My gut feeling based on your descriptions so far is that she is going to pass away. Can you video what she's doing and post on you tube for me to view?

The end part got cut off, but what I was trying to say is that she's been laying there like this for some time. Her mouth hung open, slimie (nasty) looking inside and she smells bad.
I know that none of this is her fault, but describing what I see in hopes that it will give you a better ability to diagnose whatever the problem may be.
I will wait by my laptop for your reply. Sadly though, I don't think she's going to make it through the night, which is what we would need to get her in to any kind of vet other than the 24 hour emergency "animal hospital" in Saginaw, Mi and the only thing they seem to be focused on is money money and money, up front and before each treatment unless we have top credit or a credit card to give them so they can bill as they go.
At this point all I can do is just sit here watching and hope she's not in too much pain.

Dr. Bruce
replied 7 years ago.
I'm going to be extremely honest and say that your little girl is dying. I've unfortunately seen that look too many times in patients that have come into the hospital and we diagnosed them with some very, very bad disease. I know you are hoping that she's not in too much pain, I am hoping that too. But, I can't guarantee that. I would absolutely say that the most compassionate thing that you can do for her now is to take her to that ER clinic to have her euthanized in a humane manner. I know they can be costly, but if you are going in to have her put down (the last gift you can give her for the loyalty and love that she's given to you to this point in time), they'll be able to tell you how much it will be exactly when you call.
Again, she isn't going to make it through the night. I can pretty much say that with confidence even though I haven't examined her. I would guess that she's in severe renal failure. That is what it looks like.
Please help her to move on.

Yeah that would have been my second thought. When my last cat passed it turned out that she wasn't drinking water and we'd been too busy that week to notice, talk about a massive guilt trip. Anyhow, she passed from what the vet later diagnosed to be dehydration and as she was going she let go of a lot of bodily fluids.
In this case though, Tiger only let out a small amount of uring and it's her breath that smells aweful. What I don't get is the mucus looking slimie stuff in her mouth and what looks like a black almost mossy looking patch on the roof of her mouth towards the back, though the black could be the color of her inner mouth and the surface could be from the fact that she's been laying there with her mouth open. I'm not 100% sure on that one, but I'll admit that I'm more than a bit shocked at the low amount of urine.
At this point though, I wish I could give you more for your time, but part of my problem here is that I'm between pay and don't have great credit. With that in mind I hope you will accept my deepest heart-felt gratitude for taking the time to talk to me through this and even look at the video on you tube. To me that definately went the extra mile.
Thank you,

I wish I could have given you a great answer to fix your little one. Please don't worry about giving me any monetary credit for this. I would like you to help her out by getting her to the ER clinic to have them help her to end her suffering.
The low amount of urine is due to her body being very dehydrated too. The slimy stuff in her mouth most likely is her little saliva that she's producing that she can't swallow because she's so sick. It could also be a little bit of vomit in the back of her mouth.
Again, I wish I could do more for you.

Dr Bruce,
The money has already been sent and sadly she passe not long after this. I'm thinking that it's like you said initially, where she was very sick and it as something much more serious than just the need for fluids in her system, though I'm sure that couldn't have in any way hurt things for sure.
At any rate, my bigger question was if you were local to the Bay City, Mi area. However, it seems that you would prefer not to be public about that and this is fine. I am going to click to accept again now, so at the very least you will get a little bit more for your efforts.
Jeffrey S. Wyrick

I'm very sorry that your little girl passed. I have seen, unfortunately, a lot presenting to the ER clinic just like her and they were all ones very soon to pass. Know that she's not feeling any pain now.
I'm not in the Bay City, MI area. I'm actually in the center of Iowa. At times though, I wish I was in MI. I have some friends there on the upper peninsula and I don't get to visit them enough. MI is a beautiful state. I'm glad that you felt that comfortable enough with me to want to continue to seek my opinion and care for future animals.

My oldest male cat had a seizure this evening. This site was the first place I could think of to go after the seizure had passed. Dr. Lucy was fantastic and she was spot on!
I must tell you I found this site by accident and was amazed when I asked a question of the Veteranians online. I wish I could have found it sooner it could have made such a difference in the outcome of my pet's surgery. However, I am passing along the information to my sister-in-law (a cat-rescue person who is also a nurse), and perhaps it will help someone else who may experience the same problem. The doctor who answered my question was amazing, and while it didn't come it time to change the outcome of my situation, it is reassuring to know the caliber of Vets/Doctors that you have at JustAnswer. Thank you for being there.

WILDWOOD - Want to know what the hottest prize is this summer at Jersey Shore boardwalks?
No problem, mon: It's de rasta-banana!
Stuffed animals have long been among the most popular prizes at boardwalk games of chance of skill. But this year, the top dog is a banana wearing dreadlocks and a reggae cap. (Its cousin, rasta-cigar, is a close runner-up in some places.)
"I don't know what it's all about, but this is one of the top things that people like this year," said Dante Silva, who runs a cork-gun game on the Wildwood boardwalk in which contestants win prizes by knocking over targets. "Rasta-banana is definitely the big thing."

Album Review
In 1982, the unexpected success of
the Stray Cats
' American debut,
Built for Speed
, made America aware that rockabilly, previously believed to be extinct, was actually alive and well somewhere in New Jersey (though the evidence had to be taken to England before anyone would notice). Pulling together six songs from
the Stray Cats
' self-titled debut, five tunes from the follow-up
Gonna Ball
, and one previously unreleased number (the title song),
Built for Speed
is song-for-song the group's strongest album, despite the cut-and-paste manner in which it was created. Originality was never this band's strongest suit, and as songwriters
the Stray Cats
rarely wandered far from the traditional themes of cars, girls, rockin', and their own level of coolness, but
Brian Setzer
's fleet-fingered guitar work revealed that he'd absorbed the lessons of
Cliff Gallup
James Burton
, and
Scotty Moore
and constructed an impressive and colorful style of his own from the parts, while
Lee Rocker
Slim Jim Phantom
were an admirably potent and appropriately uncluttered rhythm section (the clean, streamlined production, by
Dave Edmunds
on most cuts, also helped quite a bit). If the group's songs haven't all worn the test of time especially well, the melodies are strong and the playing is tight and enthusiastic throughout. While you're better off with a good collection from
Gene Vincent
Eddie Cochran
, or
Charlie Feathers
, there are a lot worse ways you could learn about rockabilly than to pick up
Built for Speed
-- which is a good thing, since if you were born after 1965, chances are it
where you learned about rockabilly.

Since 2008, the cost of living for seniors on a fixed income in New Jersey has increased between 13 and 14 percent. The basic cost of living for a single senior in a one-bedroom apartment was $25,941 in 2008. That same renter saw basic expenses quickly climb to more than $29,436 in 2014. That rise, however, was not comparable to any increase in Social Security income.
Seniors on fixed incomes have been plagued in recent years with rising expenses for housing, transportation and health care. In many cases, this has resulted in a rise in senior hunger and even homelessness.
Heat and eat programs are vital for our most economically vulnerable residents. The New Jersey Foundation for Aging works with a variety of partners to highlight the essential safety-net programs for low-income seniors. These programs can make the difference when seniors are faced with the daily challenge of paying the rent or buying food, paying for utilities or needed prescriptions. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, and Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, are two such programs.
The NJFA developed the New Jersey Elder Index and related data in partnership with the national organization Wider Opportunities for Women. The data indicate that more than 252,000 elders living in the state do not have sufficient income or assets to cover their basic living expenses. Sixty-four percent are women.
Statewide, the average basic costs for a single senior renter in good health living in a one-bedroom apartment are $29,436 annually; for a couple in a one-bedroom apartment, the costs rise to nearly $41,000. The main costs include housing (rent or mortgage, taxes and utilities); health care cost for Medicare premiums and out-of-pocket expenses; transportation; and food. The housing costs are slightly lower for homeowners without a mortgage and much higher for households still paying a mortgage.
The Elder Index shows that 25 percent of all New Jersey seniors rely solely on their Social Security benefit. The average Social Security benefit for a female in the state is around $14,800, and around $19,000 for a male. The gap is significant between this income level and the basic living expenses.
However, many seniors actually receive significantly less than the average Social Security benefit. This point was clearly illustrated in a recent letter to our office from a single, 84-year-old woman whose sole income is $761 a month from Social Security. After her rent, she only has $104 to cover her monthly expenses. Her monthly SNAP benefit is crucial to her quality of life and wellness.
Many New Jersey seniors who have worked and saved find they face a similar challenge. SNAP and LIHEAP benefits make the difference for thousands of our neighbors.
Cuts for both of these programs are now in place, which will disproportionately hurt seniors and people with disabilities. As advocates, we need to raise our voices to urge the restoration of these cuts by supporting several state remedies. These include both administrative changes and budget recommendations.
There is a legislative bill being discussed that would require the state Department of Community Affairs to make administrative changes to LIHEAP. Additionally, budgetary resolutions are being considered to assure that $3.2 million is available so that food stamps are available for about 177,000 families.
These cash benefit programs not only provide a base for quality of life and wellness for low-income seniors and families, but also dramatically impact our local economy. It is estimated that every SNAP dollar results in $1.70 that is actually spent locally.
These are essential programs for New Jersey's low income residents and our economy.
Grace Egan is executive director of the New Jersey Foundation for Aging (609-421-0206).

Question just about Cocaine.?
Ok, last darkness, for the first time in my enthusiasm I rubbed Cocaine into my gums. I didn't snort it because I didn't feel similar to I was set to try it. I know it's stupid to even mess around with it at adjectives but I mean, I be curious and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Can you gain high by rubbing it into your gums? I'm not really sure if I feel anything because I was already glorious on pot.
And... from just rubbing it into your gums and on your tongue.. would you theory test positive for Cocaine?
I'm not looking for lectures because I know it's very stupid.. so.. gratefulness.
I took a fleet enema 1-3 tablets, and nothing?
When you rub cocaine on your gums it of late gets numb. But since your gums also hold blood vessels, some cocaine will return with into your system so you may test positive. But near cocaine, it doesn't stay in your system as long as the pot does. So, in a week it will be gone. You won't get messed up if you rub it on your gums, its lately a tingling and numb sensation. I used to know people who did that, or they would procession their cigs with coke. I dunno why. But yeah, hope that help.
I was hurt within a Nursing Home last July. I have knee surgery and still can only just walk. Can I sue the home.?welcome to the club! and it's not stupid is newly illegal. bequeath yourself a few days and you will only interview positive for the pot.
In drizzling tobacco, I believe, you know, Skoal and whatnot. The tobacco you put between your gums and lip. That has little, itty bitty pieces of fiber-glass contained by it so as it sits and rubs against your gums it tares and pokes little holes in your gums so the tobacco is effective. And close to alcohol, only close to...2% is absorbed through the tongue, so I doubt the cocain really took effect at all...
And I am not sure in the region of it coming up in a test...
Me Myself and Death
CRYotherapy (Ice therapy) make me cry! Any suggestions?Wow. Yes you would get elevated and yes you would test positive.
Don't do any pot or coke again.
Sorry, if you don't want the lectures, then why did you do 2 things that are SO dumb and prohibited? I promise you won't like reformatory.
Im getting continuous muscular spasms right above my knees, any idea what might be the result in of this?whenever i rubed it all it did be make my mouth numb never inject it that is to say stupid
IBS? Hi all, ive be getting a lower right abdo pain for some time very soon and wondered could this be IBS?yes, you can get illustrious rubbing it into your gums.
yes, you will test positive for cocaine.
Im alarmed to walk (just go from a cast to a walking boot) because of my broken ankle, any lend a hand?It depends on you personally. Everyone have different tolerances to different chemicals. So, for one person, yeah they'd win high. Another might not discern it at all.
When you rub stuff on your tongue, you swallow bits of it. Even if you rub it it. When your saliva glands excrete saliva, it also would excrete the cocaine and distribute it down your throat. Depending on how much you did, yes you could test positive. And yes, you will question paper positive for pot too. Pot stays in your system for 30 days, but your spine strands tell on you even longer. If you haven't cut your spine in a year and you did pot 11 months ago, one time, yes a assessment will tell.
Percocets Pills Have Different Colors I'm NOT Askin Bout Generic Just Wanted 2Kno If The Yellow's R Better?No it wont acquire you high and you wont exam positive for cocaine, the only item it does when you rub it on your gums is numb them out.
i suggest you dont mix pot and cocaine together.
Im drunk right now, not alot but kinda drunk, what can i do to wear it past its sell-by date!?The pot & Xannie bar will stay within your system longer than Coke. Cocaine is capable of entering your bloodstream from even touching it if it's not wash immediately. You will eventually engage it through your skin or even stick a finger in your mouth. Even the smallest amount will show on a test. If you are that worried give or take a few a test you wouldn't do these things. Now how around some soul-searching and some truth as to why you're asking!!
What are your favorite websites for information about form?no you won't get soaring by putting in on your gums but you will test positive. coke usually stays contained by your system for no more that 4 days and pot much longer for a urine test. a moment ago hope you aren't givin a hair follicle oral exam because you'll be screwed for a LONG time unless your shave all your coat off approaching Britney Spears =(
Grrr.my scrape it bloodbath me right now.Please Help?Sigh.
I'm amused and saddened by this right of entry of stupidy and that you're "not looking for lectures."
Are you aware that regardless of how anonymous you think you are out here, you're not? A professional could confidently find anything you write here and trace it to you. Not real smart when you seize arrested and your computer is siezed. And if you're mixing drugs like you are, own no doubt the close result could easily be an arrest at some point...or the hospital even more plausible.
It makes me awful that people consider idea "good" feelings that they enjoy to chemically produce. This is coming from the child of an addict and watching what slowly over time can ruin not singular your life, but those around you. So you'll freshly have to bring over the lecture. The flighty attitude of the interview physically hurts me.
As to your question, rubbing it on the teeth or gums will trademark the areas rubbed numb in small quanitites. Ingesting coke can certainly cause gangrene of the bowels due to reduced bloodflow. That's adequate to turn the stomach, eh? Now you didn't mention alcohol, but often when inhabitants go on drudge binges, this permitted drug is involved. When you do coke and drink alcohol in combination, the combination produces a new chemical, cocaethylene, which increases the euphoric effect, but also the risk of sudden annihilation.
It's hard to really know what the effects of mixing as various substances as you did will be, as it's not like the FDA have study groups going with that combination. But hey, you've already admit it's stupid.
As for the drug test, it would as several have mentioned depend on the type of try-out. With a urine test cocaine will clear your system quite quickly (while pot can bring MUCH longer), but if you read that second link I sent you, that can swing. It's quite interesting. You really should check that relationship out. With the VERY small amount that MAY have gotten to your system, you'll probably clear contained by a few days if it shows at all. The trial is actually looking for level of benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine, as the cocaine itself is metabolized much to quickly to really be measured within routine screening.
Anyway, stop being stupid (hey you said it...not me).

Sierra Wireless Releases Linux SDK
Maker of embedded software Sierra Wireless has released a Linux software development kit (SDK) for its 3G wireless modules.
The SDK supports both CDMA and UMTS technologies and is targeted to OEM development teams producing embedded products. Vancouver company Sierra Wireless cites as its secondary target group software developers specializing in mobile broadband networks. The SDK should support application development for the devices in the company's palette of wireless products. Among them are the AirCard PC cards, Compass USB modems and AirLink mobile devices. Specific applications can be for mobile devices, vending machines, fleet management systems or machine-to-machine (M2M) systems. The idea is to connect all kinds of machines in mobile broadband networks.
Included in the SDK is an API, sample applications, utilities and documentation. It also provides access to the Sierra Wireless Command and Status API (CnS) with commands for voice, SMS and data connections. A login page is available for developers. According to the LinuxDevices.com, the SDK is based on Ubuntu and Debian Sarge-based reference designs. X86 platforms support Ubuntu 8.04 and require at least 256 Mbytes RAM and 3 Gbytes available storage.
Beginning of December the company acquired the Paris firm Wavecom that specializes in M2M applications. The purchase price was about $305 million in the current exchange. Sierra Wireless hopes to expand its market in Europe and Asia with the acquisition.

Four Baylor College of Medicine researchers received close to a $1 million in grant funding to advance breast cancer research, officials announced.
The grants, which totaled about $960,000, were give by the Susan G. Komen For the Cure Foundation. The recipients are:
- Dr. Sao Jiralerspong, assistant professor in the Lester and Sue Smith Breast Center at BCM. Jiralerspong received $450,000 to explore the potential of a new diabetes drug to reduce the risk of breast cancer in the milk duct spreading and becoming a more invasive disease.
- Dr. Melissa Bondy, professor of pediatrics in the section of hematology and oncology, and a member of the NCI-designated Dan L. Duncan Cancer Center and the Lester and Sue Smith Breast Center at Baylor. She received $225,000 to test a new method for assessing breast cancer risk using copy number variation. Copy number variation involves structural changes in the human genome that result in the deletion of genes or parts of them or extra copies of genes. Additionally, Bondy and her team will analyze the variation in genomic structures of tumors in different racial and ethnic groups.
- Dr. Jeffrey Rosen, the C.C. Bell Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology and a member of the Duncan Cancer Center at Baylor. Rosen received $225,000 to study a gene that has been identified as a potential tumor suppressor that appears lost in triple negative cancers. They will study the gene in mammary gland development hope to glean information that will provide new potential therapeutic targets to restore the gene's function.
- Dr. Bert O'Malley, professor and chair of molecular and cellular biology and vice chair of basic science at the Duncan Cancer Center at Baylor. He received a $62,500 grant to study the role of a particular protein and its potential role in breast cancer in the milk duct's progression from a non-invasive to invasive cancer.

FPIs Pump in Rs 1.22 Lakh Crore in Securities
By PTI
Published: 25th July 2014 04:59 PM
Last Updated: 25th July 2014 04:59 PM
NEW DELHI: Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs) have pumped in over Rs 1.22 lakh crore in Indian stock markets during the first six months of this year.
Investments in Indian securities (equity and debt) made by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs)/FPIs in 2013 was Rs 62,288 crore, Minister of State for Finance Nirmala Sitharaman said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha.
FIIs had invested over Rs 1.63 lakh crore in 2012 and Rs 39,353 crore in 2011.
She said the government, in consultation with RBI and Sebi, has made concerted efforts to encourage capital inflows, which include enhancement of FII debt limit from time to time, replacement of existing FII scheme with FPI scheme with effect from June 1.
FPIs encompasses all FIIs, their sub-accounts and qualified foreign investors (QFI) under a new regime that comes into force on June 1.
The new regime divides FPIs into three categories as per their risk profile and the KYC (know your client) requirements and other registration procedures would be simpler.
She said the prevailing financial market conditions and anticipated future returns of the proposed investment and liquidity as well as volatility in markets are among the factors that influence FII/FPI investment decisions.

9/28/16 - 10/2/16
By: Anza-Borrego Desert State Park
Borrego Palm Canyon in the Anza-Borrego State Park, is the third-largest palm oasis in California, and was the first site sought for a desert state park back in the 1920s. It's a beautiful, well-watered oasis, tucked away in a rocky V-shaped gorge. The trail visits the first palm grove and a waterfall. A longer option takes you exploring farther up-canyon. In winter, the trail to the falls is one of the most popular in the park. In summer, you'll have the oasis all to yourself. Watch for bighorn sheep, which frequently visit the canyon.
The Season
Getting There
To Falls is 3 miles round trip with 600-foot elevation gain; to South Fork is 6.5 miles round trip with 1,400-foot gain.
Directions to Trailhead
The trail begins at Borrego Palm Canyon Campground, located one mile north of park headquarters. Trailhead parking is available at the west end of the campground near the campfire circle.
The Hike
Beginning at the pupfish pond, you walk up-canyon past many desert plants used by the Indians for food and shelter. Willow was used for home-building and bow-making; brittlebush and creosote were used for their healing qualities; honey, along with mesquite and beavertail cactus, was a food staple. You might also notice Indian grinding holes in the granite.
The broad alluvial fan at the mouth of the canyon narrows and the sheer rock walls of the canyon soon enclose you as the trail continues along the healthy, but seasonal stream. Already surprised to learn how an apparently lifeless canyon could provide all the Indians' necessary survival ingredients, you're surprised once more when Borrego Palm Oasis comes into view. Just beyond the first group of palms is a damp grotto, where a waterfall cascades over huge boulders. The grotto is a popular picnic area and rest stop.
From the falls, you may take an alternate trail back to the campground. This trail takes you along the south side of the creek, past some magnificent ocotillo, and gives you a different perspective on this unique desert environment. By following the optional route, you can continue hiking up the canyon. Hiking is more difficult up-canyon after the falls, with lots of dense undergrowth and boulders to navigate around.
To South Fork
From the "tourist turnaround" continue up the canyon. The creek is a fairly dependable water supply and is usually running late in the fall. The canyon is wet, so watch your footing on the slippery, fallen palm fronds. The canyon narrows even further and the trail dwindles to nothing. Walk parallel to the streambed and boulder-hop back and forth across the water. The canyon zigs and zags quite a bit, so you can never see much more than a few hundred yards ahead. The hike is well worth the effort though, because most of the 800 or so palms in the canyon are found in its upper reaches. Sometimes you'll spot rock-climbers practicing their holds on the steep red-rock cliffs above.
The canyon splits 1.75 miles from the falls. Straight ahead, to the southwest, is South Fork. The rocky gorge of South Fork, smothered with bamboo, is in possession of all the canyon's water. It's quite difficult to negotiate. South Fork ascends to the upper slopes of San Ysidro Mountain (6,417 feet). The Middle Fork (the way you came) of Borrego Palm Canyon is dry and more passable. It's possible to hike quite a distance first up Middle Fork, then North Fork of Borrego Palm Canyon, but check with park rangers first. It's extremely rugged terrain.
