>>Meaning that it would take $10,000 to fill any music player up with legally purchased tracks, whether bought online, via CD, on casette tape, on vinyl, or what-have-you.<<
Exactly. "What have you". And What have I is about 1500 CD's that I have accumulated over about 10-11 years. It's not that I went out and spent $10,000 in a week filling my iPod. My CD collection just became too unweildy to get the music I wanted when I wanted it. The iPod has solved that and would actually be perfect except for two things: 1) I would like to see normal "buttons" on this thing. I find it hard to pick up half the time without changing tracks, and 2) With the ICE-Link backordered forever for my car, I'm stuck with lousy quality sound in my car.

the anonymous scribbler has achieved his goal. obviously he has presented his opinion which is then left up to public criticism, but his ultimate goal as which is the goal of all urban artists, is to provoke thought in our consumer based culture. it is something that confronts you whether you like it or not he has provoked an emotion that all of us are willing to then spend time discussing. the "ipod" is just one of millions of products "although a great product" that we are bombarded with by advertisers day in day out that we must have, maybe there are other things we should think about besides the next gadget we should get??

can you take stuff from winmx and put it on ipods?
Posted by eiiefh on October 16, 2004 at 7:02 PM (CDT)
hey another way to use all those gigs LEGALLY without spending $10,000 is to use your ipod for things other then songs. u know u can put text files on it and read them, as well as use it as a way to transfer files. hey…you have all this free hardrive space…why not put it to use.

Way down here in the South island (New Zealand) the record stores all carry such bland mindless pop crapolla that download ellegal songs is the only way to get some of the cool Blues and Country from the land of the Free and home of the iPod.

true say my friend, i have payed for tones of music in my time, but its just too tempting, if not for the net i would never have found these tunes, greatfull i am! i dont think its going to take food of anyones table as long as u keep buying and downloading. Well done to the graff artists for the defacing of the posters, someone had to say it, one year later my battery f****d off and im suposed to pay 60 quid to replace it! the damn MP3 player already cost me 300! besides those ad campaigns are so played! for a company that provides a platfrom for most of the creative industries it should really try something new. overall the iPod is a great peice of technology, secondly asthetically pleasing, not the otherway round.

the iPod is an acronym for Interface Protocol Option Devices. In English that means these are small portable machines which store and play music. That's it in a nutshell (pun intended).

For pistols I usually run a bore snake and then field strip, AP brush with Hoppe's, wipe down and finish with rem-oil or CLP. If I can see major fouling in the bore I may get more aggressive with say Butches', sweets, Wipeout or JB depending on how much crud is in there. But it usually takes a couple thousand rounds for that to happen.
Hoppes No. 9. on a cotton flanel patch, with a finishing swipe of Rem Oil. Totally old school, but it works.
You mean the Prolix? If you follow the link to the order page, you can see that they have a bunch of different sized containers, some with spray nozzles. IIRC, I ordered the big 64oz "economy refill" (item 124) and an 8oz w/ Pump Spray (item 108S). (For what it's worth, I also ordered the mini 1.25oz "lube only" [item 100], and I like that on my knives.)

Everton v LIVERPOOL: Rafa Benitez sweats over Fernando Torres' fitness ahead of derby
Fernando Torres will have a fitness test on Saturday to see whether he is fit enough to be considered for a place in Liverpool's squad against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday. Torres has been having treatment on his serious groin injury, and has done light training this week under the control of Liverpool's fitness coaches. Clinical: Torres (left) to be assessed before match Winger Ryan Babel is still out with an ankle injury, but Italian midfielder Alberto Aquilani is likely to be on the substitutes' bench. Glen Johnson, Albert Riera and Yossi Benayoun, who have all struggled with injuries over the past week, should be in the squad.

In a 67-count indictment, federal prosecutors allege the team created several companies — including rig refurbisher Tri-State Production and its management company Mid Continent Manufacturing — and duped investors out of $132 million from 2004 to 2008, according to a news release from Grissom's office.
The men allegedly sent investors false and fraudulent agreements, reports, profit and loss statements and other documents by mail, promising returns on investments in companies that leased oil and natural gas drilling rigs and related businesses.
The filing includes 20 counts of mail fraud, 28 counts of wire fraud, seven counts of money laundering and a single count of bank fraud.
Those charged are:
• Dale C. Lucas, 62, of Wichita• Russell W. Kilgariff, 63, of Preston
• Steven L. Tallman, 58, of Owasso
• Hutchinson residents Lloyd F. Nunns, 68; Greggory A. Krause, 62; and Fredie J. Hembree, 57
• Michael J. McNaul, 58, a former Hutchinson resident accused on all 67 counts.
According to Grissom's office, the men told investors to expect quarterly payments and annual returns ranging from 25 to 40 percent, and that the companies already were earning 15 to 40 percent on returns.
The filing also alleges the men used the investments to pay a $300,000 settlement to the Colorado Securities Commission.
The crimes carry up to a $250,000 fine and the following maximum prison terms for each count: mail and wire fraud, 20 years; money laundering, 10 years; and bank fraud, 30 years.

Good news, more U.S. 290 construction coming
On the plus side, the sooner crews start working on more miles of U.S. 290 northwest of Loop 610, the sooner they will complete the project. Officials earlier this month approved two contracts for additional phases of the massive widening of U.S. 290 from Loop 610 to Waller. The two most recent awards cover about […]

Stanford University; Ph.D. in Cognitive Psychology
Research Interests: I am interested in many aspects of human cognition (see blurbs below!), but recurring themes include the role of the frontal lobes in the regulation of thought, and the link between perceptual and memory systems.
Research in progress: One major theme in the lab right now is an effort to understand the costs, as well as the benefits, of frontally-mediated cognitive control. Our current ideas about this are summarized in Chrysikou et al., 2014, Neuropsychologia. A second major theme concerns how conceptual information is dynamically retrieved and reconfigured; this work includes studies of how visual features are integrated into concepts (e.g., Coutanche & Thompson-Schill, Cerebral Cortex), how new conceptual information is integrated with prior knowledge (e.g., Coutanche & Thompson-Schill, JEP:General), and how different variables affect how we retrieve conceptual information (e.g., Hsu et al., J of Cog Neuro).

Research Interests: Broadly speaking, I am interested in how learning, specifically implicit distributional learning, unfolds over time in the human brain. Using a combination of behavioral and functional neuroimaging methods, I aim to better understand not only the types of regularities to which human learners are sensitive, but also how a network of specialized neural substrates works in concert to extract and make use of them. I am particularly interested in how the learning process is influenced by top-down control functions associated with the frontal lobe.

Hi IxDA Members!
I am the founder of Ixda Miami University. For our info session I would like to put together a video of YOU telling my group members about your personal story with Interaction Design. I am looking for anyone working in the industry.
Thomson Reuters and the IxDA are very pleased to announce the launch of our 2012 Student Design Challenge!
Entries are open now, and close on December 5, 2011. Be in the running to win a scholarship to Interaction 12 in Dublin, and take part in an exciting design challenge around the future of news.
I've worked out what I really think about trends like Mobile First, and have made sense of the way I have been working for years. Read up on my user centric approach to finding the right design, and the right channel, input, and interface, for your product.
I have an opportunity to survery a very large number of users before the release of a new version in January. I was considering using the net promoter survey but then read some articles that were critical of NPS. The release is on a particular page of a web app and will grab the users while using that specific tool. I've used SUS in the past but typically with internal users that are not critical enough.
My job as a recruiter within this very specific area is made somewhat harder by the fact that it's becoming increasingly difficult to find fresh candidates for the roles I have to offer. Surely there's got to be more cracking Visual Designers out there looking for work?
As a fellow recruiter, or even as a generally helpful person, can anyone out there direct me to websites (such as behance) where users are free to browse profiles and contact their owners? Or perhaps, does anyone know of any good online communities of user interface designers ?
Perhaps slightly of topic and considering its my first ever post to ixda I apologies if it is.
How do you display these sections that are based on filters on a deatiled sitemap?
Feel free to send pictures of examples.

The Clark County Sheriff's Office says a high-risk sex offender known for sexually assaulting children is now homeless in Vancouver.
Dennis Ray Mason, 51, pleaded guilty to attempted unlawful imprisonment in 1984 after following a waitress to her car. In 1989, he pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree child molestation and one count of first-degree attempted child molestation while baby-sitting three children under the age of 8, according to the sheriff's office.
Mason is 5-feet-10-inches and 160 pounds, with brown hair and green eyes. He is not wanted by police at this time. He will be monitored by the Vancouver Police Sex Offender Tracking Unit and the sheriff's office.

A comparison of different hemorrhoidectomy procedures.
ABSTRACT To evaluate the pain level, analgesic consumption, operation time, bleeding and early complications after open and closed hemorrhoidectomy using a harmonic scalpel (HS) and classical methods.
Between January 2005 and January 2006, 87 patients with grade III-IV hemorrhoids, admitted in General Surgery Clinic, Gulhane Military Medical Academy, Ankara, Turkey were enrolled in the study. They were randomized into open HS (n=22), closed HS (n=22), Miligan Morgan (n=22), and Ferguson (n=21) hemorrhoidectomy. Patients were evaluated for postoperative pain, painkiller consumption, bleeding and operation time.
Bleeding volume was significantly lower in Groups I-II (p<0.001). Operation time was significantly shorter in Group I (p<0.001). Postoperative pain and pain at the time of first defecation, was significantly lower in Groups I-III (p<0.001) compared with the other 2 groups and lower during days 2-6 in Group I compared to the Group III (p<0.004). Visual Analogue Scale results were similar in Groups II and IV. Analgesic consumption in Groups I-III was significantly lower than Groups II-IV (p<0.001). Oral analgesic consumption during 2-5 postoperative days was lower in Group I than in Group III (p<0.007) and similar in closed hemorrhoidectomy group.
The use of HS in hemorrhoidectomy reduces postoperative pain, analgesic consumption, operation time, and bleeding. Harmonic scalpel hemorrhoidectomy is an effective, comfortable, and safe procedure. Use of suture in hemorrhoidectomy is a major cause of postoperative pain.

ABSTRACT: To demonstrate the value of Diosmin (flavonidic fraction) in the management of post-haemorhoidectomic symptoms. Eighty-six consecutive patients with grades III and IV acute mixed hemorrhoids admitted to the Anorectal Surgical Department of First Affiliated Hospital, Xinjiang Medical University from April 2009 to April 2010, were enrolled in this study. An observer-blinded, randomized trial was conducted to compare post-haemorhoidectomic symptoms with use of Diosmin flavonidic fraction vs placebo. Eighty-six patients were randomly allocated to receive Diosmin flavonidic fraction 500 mg for 1 wk (n = 43) or placebo (n = 43). The Milligan-Morgan open haemorrhoidectomy was performed by a standardized diathermy excision method. Pain, bleeding, heaviness, pruritus, wound edema and mucosal discharge were observed after surgery. The postoperative symptoms and hospitalization time were recorded. The mean age of the Diosmin group and controls was 53.2 and 51.3 years, respectively. In Diosmin group, haemorrhoid piles were of the third degree in 33 patients and the fourth degree in 10; and in the control group, 29 were of the third degree and 14 were of the fourth degree. There was no statistically significance in age, gender distribution, degree and number of excised haemorrhoid piles, and the mean duration of haemorrhoidal disease between the two groups. There was a statistically significant improvement in pain, heaviness, bleeding, pruritus from baseline to the 8th week after operation (P < 0.05). Patients taking Diosmin had a shorter hospitalization stay after surgery (P < 0.05). There was also a significant improvement on the proctoscopic appearance (P < 0.001). However, there was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of wound mucosal discharge. Two patients experienced minor bleeding at the 8th week in Diosmin group, and underwent surgery. Diosmin is effective in alleviating postoperational symptoms of haemorrhoids. Therefore, it should be considered for the initial treatment after haemorrhoid surgery. However, further prospective randomized trials are needed to confirm the findings of this study.World Journal of Gastroenterology 03/2011; 17(11):1448-56. · 2.43 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Haemorrhoidectomy is the most effective and definitive treatment for grade 3 or 4 haemorrhoids despite being associated with considerable pain. The aim of this study was to search the literature, which compares outcomes of harmonic scalpel haemorrhoidectomy and traditional surgical procedures, and conduct a quantitative meta-analysis of the randomized trials.Techniques in Coloproctology 06/2014; · 1.34 Impact Factor

surgery clinics.1-3 For Grades III and IV hemorrhoids, it
is generally accepted that hemorrhoidectomy is one of
the best alternative methods for treatment of this illness
and its symptoms.1,4 The most significant postoperative
complaint affecting patient operation satisfaction
concerns postoperative pain.1,5-7 The major reasons for
postoperative pain are related to the incision performed
during the operation, sutures applied to approximate
anal mucosa, cauterization, and possible surgical side
infection.8 Many different techniques were utilized
in order to decrease postoperative pain, bleeding and
stricture development.1,2,4,6,7,9 A harmonic scalpel (HS)
is a new generation cauterization device using vibration
technology and we recommended and promoted its use
to help decrease the pain after hemorrhoidectomy. In
the literature, a comparison of HS hemorrhoidectomy
(HSH), Miligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy (MMH)
and Fergusson hemorrhoidectomy (FH) in terms of
pain and complications were carried out, and some
trials revealed that HSH is advantageous while others
emphasized that there is no difference related to the
pain.1,4-7,9,10 Although saturation is one of the major
causes of postoperative pain, it is difficult to find clinical
trials comparing hemorrhoidectomies where sutures
were not used. Therefore, a quartet comparison of
operation type (open and closed HSH versus MMH and
FH) will help surgeons to control postoperative pain.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of
operation type and suture usage on postoperative pain,
analgesic usage needed, amount of bleeding, operation
time, and postoperative complications.
atients with hemorrhoids and related symptoms
constitute most of the patient population in general
Methods. Between January 2005 and January 2006,
87 patients with Grades III-IV hemorrhoids admitted in
the General Surgery Clinic, Gulhane Military Medical
Academy, Ankara, Turkey were enrolled the study.
We included Grade III and Grade IV hemorrhoids in
this study. Patients were randomized into 4 groups.
Randomization was achieved by consecutively
enrolling the patients to each group according to the
patients' admission time to the clinic. The details
of each group were as follows: Group I: open HS
hemorrhoidectomy (22 patients); Group II: closed HS
hemorrhoidectomy (22 patients); Group III: Milligan
Morgan hemorrhoidectomy (22 patients) and Group
IV: Fergusson hemorrhoidectomy (21 patients). The
patient selection, exclusion, randomization criterion
and the detail of the type of the operation given to
each group of the study were approved by the Human
Subjects Research Committee, Gulhane Military
Medical Academy, Ankara, Turkey in accordance with
the Helsinki Declaration. Patients and the observer who
determined the visual analogue scale (VAS) score were
aware of which hemorrhoidectomy method was being
used in patients in the operating room. All patients
were informed about the steps of the study, and their
informed consents were collected. We excluded patients
who denied any of the steps. Thus, 13 patients who
denied enrolling the study were excluded. Patients
with any previous perianal operation history, other
perianal pathologies accompanied by hemorrhoid
disease and bleeding disorders were excluded from
the study. Two hours before the operation, intestinal
cleaning was accomplished with enema (Fleet Enema,
Kozmed, Ankara, Turkey). All operations were
performed under the standard spinal anesthesia with
a prone jack-knife position by the same surgeon, and
3 quadrant hemorrhoidectomy were performed. A
harmonic scalpel device (Johnson & Johnson Medical
K.K, Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Cincinnati, OH) was used
in Groups I and II. We used a method first described
by Chung et al6 to determine the operative bleeding.
In Group I, the patients' hemorrhoidal diseased tissues
were excised with the HS device (power of HS device
was adjusted to level IV). The mucosal defect was
left open. In Group II, hemorrhoidal diseased tissues
were also excised using the HS device, but mucosal
approximations were performed using 2/0 chromic
catgut sutures, and the mucosal defect was closed. We
performed hemorrhoidectomy using the Milligan-
Morgan technique by using the scissor4,6 and hemostasis
was provided with monopolar cautery and the mucosal
defect was left open in Group III patients. In Group-IV,
the Fergusson Hemorrhoidectomy procedure was also
performed by using scissor in patients, and mucosa was
approximated with 2/0 cromic catgut sutures.11 In both
groups of where the Milligan-Morgan and Fergusson
hemorrhoidectomy was performed, hemorrhoid pedicle
was identified, and ligated just above the dental line.
Operation time, amount of excised hemorrhoid lesions
and bleeding were recorded. Postoperative analgesia was
applied with a Patient Control Analgesic System (PCA)
to determine the dose of postoperative analgesic drugs.
The PCA was set up just before the operation ended
and an immediate 50 mg intravenous bolus Tramadol
(Contramal Ampul 100mg) was given. The device
was adjusted to 5-mgr/hour bazal infusion speeds. In
every trigger, 15 mgr of medicine was infused. Patient

Control Analgesic System continued the operation day
and on first day postoperative. After PCA usage was
terminated, oral 50 mg diclofenac potassium (Kalidren
50mg film tablet, Fako) 4 times a day was used to
maintain postoperative analgesia. Oral analgesic usage
was allowed until the patients did not need analgesia.
Patients were revisited on the postoperative third day,
seventh day, and in the second, and third weeks. Pain
levels were evaluated and recorded between 0 (any
pain) and 10 (max. pain) points using VAS. Patients'
pain level on the first defecation after the surgery was
also recorded. Postoperative early complications were
also recorded and compared between each group. The
scoring system of Pescatori et al12 was used to grade
incontinence. Incontinence measured preoperatively, at
postoperative day 7 and at week 6 after surgery.
Statistical analysis. Clinical data were expressed
as median (range) and proportions. Differences were
analyzed with Kruskall Wallis, Bonferroni adjusted
Mann Whitney U and chi-square tests. The probability
values of less than 0.05 were accepted as statistically
significant. We used Statistical Package for Social
Sciences software version 12.0 for statistical analysis
(SPSS Inc, Chicago, III, USA).
Results. Eighty-seven patients (63 males and 24
females), aged between 21 and 74 were included in
the study. Patients' demographic data and number
of hemorrhoidal disease are shown in Table 1. No
statistical difference was detected between groups in
terms of age, gender, and number of the hemorrhoidal
disease. The total operation time was 20 min (10-25
min) in Group I, 41 min (35-55 min) in Group II, 45
min (35-62) in Group III and 50 min (35-65 min.)
in Group-IV. Operation time was statistically lower in
Group I compared to the other 3 groups (p<0.001).
As for operation time for Group II patients, it was still
lower compared to Group III and Group IV, but the
difference was not statistically significant (p>0.05).
Blood lost was 10 ml (10-20 ml) in both Groups I and
II, 45 ml (35-100 ml) in Group III and 45 ml (30-
70 ml) in Group IV. There was no difference between
Groups I and II in terms of hemorrhage. Bleeding
scores were also statistically not significant between
Groups III and IV (p>0.05). When open or closed
hemorrhoidectomies were compared in terms of HSH
and classical methods (MMH and FH), HSH yielded
less bleeding than classical methods. Differences were
statistically significant (p<0.001). Patients' VAS score for
postoperative pain is shown in Table 2. When open and
closed techniques used in the same operation type (HSH
and classical methods) were compared (Group I versus
Group II and Group III versus Group-IV) in terms of
postoperative pain, patients' given the open technique
experienced statistically less pain on postoperative
days, especially on first defecation, operation day, and
during postoperative 14 days (p<0.001). For further
postoperative days from 14 days, the VAS score was still
lower in open hemorrhoidectomy groups compared to
closed hemorrhoidectomy groups but the difference was
not statistically significant (p=0.17). When the closed
technique was compared for different operation type
(Group II versus Group IV), even though statistically
not significant (p=0.12), Group II revealed lower pain
scores, especially on first defecation. As for the open
technique, there were not statistically different (p=0.24)
pain scores between Group I and Group III for first
defecation, operation day, and first day postoperative
except second to sixth day postoperative, which was
statistically different and significant (p=0.024). The
pain score was found lower in Group I during those
days. Visual Analogue Scale values were cross-evaluated
(Group I versus Group IV and Group II versus Group
III). The results revealed that pain was statistically lower
in open hemorrhoidectomy for all kinds of operations

(Group I versus Group IV, p<0.001, and Group III versus
Group II, p<0.012) until the 14 days postoperative
for Group I versus Group IV and on the seventh days
postoperative for Group III versus Group II. There was
no difference between the VAS values after the third
postoperative weeks for all the groups. Operative and
first day postoperative usage of Tramadol is summarized
in Table 3. Tramadol dose used in open and closed
techniques was compared in the same operation type
(Group I versus Group II and Group III versus Group
IV) and the analgesic dose was statistically lower in
the operation where sutures were not used (p<0.001).
Although statistically not significant (p>0.05), except
that the values were significantly lower in Group II
versus Group IV on first day postoperative (p<0.001),
administering Tramadol for open and closed technique
in different operation types (HSH versus MMH and
FH) were lower in the HSH. When a cross-evaluation
was made (Group I versus Group IV and Group II versus
Group III), Tramadol doses were significantly lower
in the open hemorrhoidectomy group regardless of
operation type (p<0.001). Per-oral analgesic usage during
the postoperative period is shown in Table 4. Diclofenac
usage was statistically lower in the open technique when
compared with closed technique in the same operation
type (Group I versus Group-II and Group III versus
Group IV) (p<0.01) until the second postoperative
weeks. When the open technique was compared in
different operation types (Group I versus Group III), it
was noted that HSH had more advantages than MMH
in terms of diclofenac usage between the second and
fifth postoperative days (p=0.042). Although it was
not statistically significant, this advantage remained
until the third postoperative weeks. A comparison
of the closed technique in different operation types
(Group II versus Group IV) revealed that postoperative
diclofenac doses were lower in HSH though it was not
statistically significant except on fourth postoperative
days (p<0.05). Analgesic usage if compared with groups
where the mucosal approximation sutures were not
used was significantly lower compared with the groups
where these sutures used (Group I versus Group IV and
Group II versus Group III, p<0.001 for both ). Main
postoperative complication was urinary retention and
overall, 10 patients were developed it (Group I: 2
patients, Group II: 3 patients, Group III: 3 patients,
and Group IV: 2 patients). There was no statistically
difference between the groups with urinary retention.
Additionally, 3 patients were developed occasional
incontinence of gas (Group I: none, Groups II-IV:
one patient). Mean incontinence scores were A1 in
Groups II-IV and there were no difference between the
groups. No hemorrhage was observed as postoperative
Discussion. In general, Grades I and II hemorrhoids
are treated with medical therapy or a fixation agent
resulting in tissue fibrosis where. Usually, these simple
procedures offer less pain, early return to normal daily
activities, and can be administered in the clinic. As for

Grades III and IV hemorrhoids, hemorrhoidectomy is
the most suitable and most preferred treatment modality.5
The main problem with hemorrhoidectomy, though it is
practical, is the postoperative pain.1,4-7 Harmonic scalpel
is a device using ultrasonic energy. The HS vibrates at
55,500 Hz per second, with the blade traveling 50 to
100 microns per stroke. Cutting using the HS have 2
mechanisms. First, rapid vibrations disrupt hydrogen
bonds within the protein structure, leading to the
formation of a coagulum that seals coapted vessels up to
5 mm in diameter. There is minimal tissue desiccation,
char formation, and zone of thermal injury (0-1.5 mm
deep) compared with electro surgery. A second cutting
mechanism is known as cavitationel fragmentation,
in which low-density tissues are disrupted, leading
to separation of anatomic tissues planes. The second
effect is made by cavitationel bubbles produced by
vaporizing fluids at low (370C) temperature, which
potentially minimizes thermal injury and associated
energy transfer.1,4,10,13 Harmonic scalpel might cause
less pain after the hemorrhoidectomy, with low thermal
injury around the normal tissue. Several parameters
were measured in the current study to compare the
hemorrhoidectomy methods. First, we estimated
parameters related to the surgery itself. We found that the
duration of surgery was significantly shorter in Group
I (p<0.001) compared to the other 3 groups. Duration
of surgery was also shorter in Group II than Group III
and Group IV, but it was not significant statistically.
We believe that less effort to obtain homeostasis in
Group I contribute to a speedier procedure. The main
reason for the prolonged operation time in Group II
compared to Group I was the saturation effort to repair
any mucosal defect. We believe that doing so does not
positively affect the postoperative healing process and
causes increased pain on postoperative days. Another
parameter is the bleeding during the operation. It has
been emphasized in the literature that HSH causes less
bleeding compared to MMH and FH.4,6 Data obtained
from our study also supported these findings. Decreased
blood loss results from the excellent hemostatic function
of the HS. While cutting the tissue to be removed, HS
provides excellent hemostatic function to the surgeon.
We believe that these 2 features of the HS, make the
HSH faster and minimally invasive compared to the
MMH and FH. The scoring system of Pescatori et al12
was used to grade the incontinence. This scoring system
takes into account both the degree and frequency of
incontinence. Our results showed no difference in
either the degree or frequency of incontinence in all
4 groups. As described previously, the mean grade
for all patients at all times was A1, which indicates
occasional incontinence of flatus. The complication of
anal incontinence reported in the literature lesser than
1%. There was no difference among the 4 groups and
literature in terms of anal incontinence.
Pain is the unique factor determining patients'
satisfaction during the postoperative period. In the
literature, the results of clinical prospective trials claim
that HSH is more effective in terms of postoperative pain
management (via providing less pain). Armstrong et al7
compared HSH and electrocautery hemorrhoidectomy
(ECH) and found that HSH is more advantageous
compared to ECH in terms of postoperative pain
in their study.9 However, in these trials some cases
were left open and many were sutured to accomplish
mucosal approximation. We believe that this prevented
investigator from determining the potential effects of
the sutures on postoperative pain. Thus, we believe that
one cannot accurately estimate the potential effects of
HSH on postoperative pain while saturation is a part
of the operation. Chung et al6 investigated the potential
effects of HSH, bipolar scissors hemorrhoidectomy and
scissors excision on postoperative pain. They concluded
that HSH causes less postoperative pain and operative
blood loss. Ramadan et al1 have also compared HS and
ECH and used the closed technique in all patients. In
this trial they found that HS provided quicker operating
time, less blood loss, and less postoperative pain. Khan et
al4 compared the same operation types as Chug et al6 used
in their clinical trial, but used mucosal approximation
on all patients and concluded that HSH is an effective
method for hemorrhoidectomy with no difference in
terms of postoperative pain and operation time when
compared to others. Tan et al10 concluded that HSH does
not decrease postoperative pain but might be chosen as
an alternative in their clinical trial comparing diathermy
and HSH. The results obtained from our study showed
that pain resulting from mucosal approximation sutures
is more intense than the effect of HSH on postoperative
pain relief. As evidence of this, first defecation and the
first to fourteen postoperative days VAS values were
lower in the open procedure compared to the closed
procedure when the same operation technique (HSH
or classical hemorrhoidectomy) was used in our study.
We believe that this difference is clear evidence of the
effect of surgical sutures on postoperative pain and
edema, tension and inflammation increases the pain in
the anal canal where the innervations is relatively dense.
While VAS scores were still significantly lower for the
open technique when different operation procedures
were used, it was not different for the closed technique
for different operation types (HSH versus classical
hemorrhoidectomy). We found that open HSH is
the most painless procedure compared to the other
procedures used in this study. While VAS scores were
relatively lower in the open hemorrhoidectomy group
even when the same or different operation was used,
patients' Tramadol usage was also lower in the open
hemorrhoidectomy group in our study. Results for

Comparison of different hemorrhoidectomy ... Ozer et al
administered Tramadol doses, when noted, supported
our results by evaluation of the VAS data. Again, the
open technique had obvious advantages related to
Tramadol usage on the closed technique and operations
where HS was used and was more advantageous than the
classical technique. Diclofenac effects as a postoperative
analgesic was mainly statistically significant for the
open procedure and HSH when compared to the closed
procedure and classical techniques. The main limitation
of the study was patient follow-up. Some patients were
out of the follow-up due to social manner. Shaming was
their main reason for lost of follow-up.
In conclusion, OHSH has been found to be the
most advantageous method of all when assessing
amount of bleeding, operation time, VAS values and
amounts of analgesic usage. Consequently, HS usage is
an alternative in the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease,
which provides a faster, more efficient operation time,
minimal blood loss, and a decrease in postoperative pain.
Suture usage diminishes the pain reducing advantages
of the HS usage. Mucosal rapprochement sutures are
the main cause of postoperative pain regardless of
operation type and possibly overshadow the patients'
satisfaction during the postoperative period. We believe
that investigating of the effect of mucosal sutures
on pain by further studies will lead further painless

I was adding a few things to an amazon order and I thought I'd get an extra fermentation bucket. Is there anyway to tell if this is food grade and not just a glorified paint bucket? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...gal-disclaimer Also, I know it doesnt have a hole in the lid but I have drill and grommets are very cheap.
Unless it said it is food grade then it is not. Most Lowes cary food grade buckets, they are not with the grey outdoor buckets. They only have the 5 gallon size in white. Another option is a trip to the grocery store bakery and ask for empty icing buckets. You can get them in 1-2-3-4 and 5 gallon sizes. If you need bigger than that you'll have to order it or go to your local brew store.

The "Friday night surprise" had been hinted at by the rating agency since March.
Government seems blind to the real ailments of our society. Global labor arbitrage referred to as "free trade" has decimated the United States labor force. Adjusted for inflation, we make less than our parents did in the Sixties.
Combine that with the three unpaid wars for corporate profit (or one fake "War on Terror," whichever Kool-Aid you prefer) and the Treasury IOU's in Social Security, no amount of taxes or cuts will fix the situation.
We can't compete with migrant laborers working for slave wages. Corporations expect to export another ten percent of their jobs over the next year. Nullify the trade agreements with those that exploit their people for money and power. Punish the global corporations that seek the cheapest labor and weakest environmental laws by not allowing them to sell their products into our market. Get our people back to work. Only when the drain is plugged will the tub begin to fill again.
