Occasionally, a catheter, balloon, or snare is advanced into the jejunum and used as a fluoroscopic target for direct jejunal puncture.
Loop catheters are typically 16F or smaller in diameter.
Using larger catheters and the further inflation of intraluminal balloons may be useful in preventing the exit of enteric contents, as may the use of purse-string sutures.

 Balloon valances, free making instructions
A Balloon, Cloud or Pouf valance is an ideal top treatment for small windows when used alone or teamed up with cafe curtains or blinds and is best fitted outside the window recess.
The fabric is threaded onto curtain rods through both casings with the lower rod fixed in a position to allow the valance to drape over and conceal it, creating the balloon effect.
Hold a tape measure to the top edge of the top rod and the top edge of the bottom rod, letting it loop between the two until the required finished length is achieved.

 Nonlinear Models for High Speed Yarn Transport Systems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The research focuses on models for specific textile processes that involve rotating balloons such as: i) unwinding from cylindrical (as in texturing) or conical (as in warping and weaving) packages; ii) ring twisting and winding (as in ring spinning or ply-twisting); and iii) two-for-one twisting.
She also showed that multiple loop balloon solutions of the nonlinear balloon equations were possible and demonstrated the existence of these balloons experimentally.
Although this paper combined solutions of the equations for the section of the yarn that slides on the package surface between the unwind and lift-of points with the balloon equations to carry out the simulation, the boundary conditions at the unwind point were still incompletely formulated.

 need help with flash array - kirupaForum
My problem however is thatwhen the timer runs out some of the fish stay on the screen instead of dissapearing, i have tried everything to make them all go away but i always end up with one or two which stay stuck and remain there no matter what the user does.
Sorry bout the confusion with balloons and fish initially i was working with balloons from the tutorial but i decided fish looked better and hadnt got round to cleaning up the naming, is all sorted now!
Your problem was that the loop was clearing any fish that went out of bounds, but once the timer ran out, you had nothing in the loop to clear the fish - the one line that did that was outside your loop and only ran once (the "see whether all fishes gone" bit).
