A very good article by Victoria Stern in General Surgery News that nicely lays out what the debate is all about and who is on what side. Be sure to read the following article below that gives the minority opinion.
Traditional hernia surgery is an art that is making a comeback. Due the serious problems with mesh, patients are asking about alternatives to mesh. Traditional hernia surgery in the hands of an expert is the answer.
The importance of tension and technique is widely misrepresented.
Inguinal hernias are the most common hernias that we see in both men and women. They occur in the groin and may protrude into the scrotum in men.
Femoral hernias arise in the femoral canal which is in the lower portion of the groin. They are more likely to strangulate and become an emergency than other hernias.
Umbilical hernias occur in the belly button. At birth the umbilical cord leaves a weakness in the abdominal wall here as the cord desiccates and disappears.
Incisional hernias are all caused by prior abdominal surgery. They can be some of the most challenging cases for a hernia surgeon.
A diastasis recti is not a hernia but is commonly confused for one. The distinction between a hernia and a diastasis is . . .
Epigastric are small but painful hernias that occur in the midline of the belly somewhere between the navel and the breast bone . .
Spigelian hernias are rare hernias that occur lateral to and inferior to the belly button. They are often difficult to diagnose because . . .
A hiatal hernia is a special type of abdominal hernia which is very different from other types of abdominal hernias. The primary treatment for these hernias is . . .
Some hernias are not detectible by any means short of exploratory surgery. Chronic groin pain lasting more than . . .
The average price for a hernia repair in a hospital is $14,000 but this is only the facility fee and does not include the surgeon, anesthesia or other miscellaneous fees. We provide an all inclusive package price which is a small fraction of this. The actual cost of . . .
If you are contemplating having hernia surgery with mesh you must ask your surgeon these three things:
A bulge in the abdominal wall is the most constant symptom of a hernia. Many patients with hernias have pain and abdominal discomfort of a variety . . .
Anyone living with a hernia needs to understand what the real risks are. Too frequently uninsured patients are dismissed by doctors who tell them that they can just live it until . . .
Physical examination by a qualified physician is the most sensitive and accurate means to diagnose a hernia. X-rays such as ct scan, mri and ultrasound are of limited . . .
Hernia surgery is the only cure for hernias but there are other remedies which may give temporary relief of symptoms and allow a patient to work while they are waiting for surgery.

Android L 64-bit preview finally released – but only for x86. Where's ARMv8, Google? October 9, 2014 at 8:35 am
After announcing that Android L would support 64-bit hardware way back in June, Google has finally released a 64-bit Android L developer preview emulator image. Curiously, though, it's a 64-bit image for 64-bit Intel chips (Atom/Bay Trail) and not ARM. With Nvidia's 64-bit Tegra K1 supposedly just around the corner, but no tools for developers to actually create or prepare 64-bit ARMv8 apps, what exactly is going on?
IBM unveils new Power8 servers in last-gasp effort to battle Intel's x86 dominion October 3, 2014 at 11:52 am
Just two days after jettisoning its last Intel/x86-oriented division to Lenovo, IBM has unveiled the first servers based on the new Power8 CPU architecture. Somewhat unusually, IBM's press release directly attacks both Intel's "closed and proprietary" way of doing business and its products (IBM says Power8-based systems are nearly 20% better on price-performance than x86-based systems). Is IBM all bark and no bite? Or does the Power8 architecture and and OpenPower Foundation (which now has 59 members) actually stand a chance against Intel's server monopoly? Let's dive in and take a closer a look.

Microsoft has sent out the official press invites for an event on September 30, where we are almost certain that Windows 9 (codenamed Threshold) will be unveiled.

Apple's A8 SoC analyzed: The iPhone 6 chip is a 2-billion-transistor 20nm monster September 10, 2014 at 10:55 am
Powering both the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is Apple's new A8 SoC. This new chip, which contains around two billion transistors, will be one of the first mass-market components to use TSMC's 20nm process. The A8 SoC will, according to Apple, be about 25% faster than its predecessor in CPU tasks, and 50% faster on the GPU side of things. These are some big performance gains that are made even more impressive by the fact that the A8 is reportedly 50% more power efficient than the A7 — and, despite almost doubling the transistor count, the die size is somehow 13% smaller. Read on for some detailed analysis of Apple's new A8 SoC.
Intel's new 18-core Haswell Xeon chips will try to preempt the ARM server onslaught September 9, 2014 at 9:02 am

Will Windows 9, and all future Microsoft OSes, simply be called 'Windows'? September 8, 2014 at 3:01 pm
There is an increasing amount of evidence that Microsoft is preparing to drop all of its different brands of Windows — Windows Phone, Windows 8, Windows 9, Windows RT — and simply call them all Windows. The idea would be that, in the mind of the consumer, Windows is just Windows, and that all of these different names and flavors are just confusing. Getting rid of all that complexity and returning to the old way — where Windows is synonymous with personal computing — would certainly be a coup for Microsoft.

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
On January 21, 2013, President Barack Obama and Vice President Biden were inaugurated for their second term in a notably inclusive ceremony. The President declared that "Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law--for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to each other must be equal as well." He also evoked the Stonewall Rebellion as a pivotal historical moment in the long struggle toward equal rights. In addition, openly gay poet Richard Blanco read a poem whose theme was the commonalities Americans share and Episcopal priest Rev. Luis Leon prayed for an end to prejudice and rancor and specifically evoked gays and lesbians.
Fittingly for an inauguration that took place on the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, the President evoked the slain civil rights leader and also connected pivotal moments in the struggle for equal rights for women, African Americans, and glbtq people.
He said, "We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths--that all of us are created equal--is the star that guides us still; just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall; just as it guided all those men and women, sung and unsung, who left footprints along this great Mall, to hear a preacher say that we cannot walk alone; to hear a King proclaim that our individual freedom is inextricably bound to the freedom of every soul on Earth."
He also said in words that seemed directed to the members of the Supreme Court of the United States, "It is now our generation's task to carry on what those pioneers began. For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law--for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm."
Richard Blanco's beautiful poem, "One Today," which emphasizes the unity Americans share even as we are divided in so many ways, includes the following poignant stanza.
"One sky, toward which we sometimes lift our eyes
tired from work: some days guessing at the weather
of our lives, some days giving thanks for a love
that loves you back, sometimes praising a mother
who knew how to give, or forgiving a father
who couldn't give what you wanted."
The entire poem may be found here.
In addition, the Lesbian and Gay Band Association, a musical organization comprising marching and concert bands from across the United States and around the world, was included in the inaugural parade. The 215-piece band that marched in the parade is composed of members of LGBA bands, orchestras, and cheer squads from 27 states. More information about the band's participation may be found here.
Finally, the White House has announced that the Interfaith Prayer Service at the National Cathedral, to be held on Tuesday morning, January 22, will include the Rev. Dr. Nancy Wilson, moderator and international leader of the Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC), a denomination founded 45 years ago by the Rev. Troy Perry as a church open to glbtq people.

March 28-April 1, 2016
Artistic Director
Marianne Brogan
Instructors: TBD
What It's All About
Welcome to four nights and three days of intense fun, ukulele instruction, and merry music making within the structure of a band, led by some of the ukulele world's finest band masters. Register to study in bands for three days, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each morning begins with a short singing session to warm up our voices and a third session is offered each day in extra-curricular musical skills – acoustic bass, singing, accordion, improvising, claw-hammer technique, etc. There will also be time to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Menucha, and get to know your fellow students in evening entertainment, jam sessions and open mic.
Band Camp is truly a unique and wonderful experience, and registrations are limited to help provide an intimate and in depth educational experience. It's also a lot of fun. Our goal is to provide you with exciting challenges by learning to be in a band, play together and take risks. This can happen more easily if you have a solid foundation.
Prerequisites for Bands: Band Camp is appropriate for advanced beginner, intermediate and advanced players. If you are an experienced musician coming from a strong background on another fretted instrument, but have no experience on ukulele you may feel right at home after a few queasy moments. If you come to camp with no musical background and a month of playing ukulele -you definitely will want to join the jump-start program for real beginners – it's fun and accomplishment is close at hand!
In general all campers that can change open chords without hesitation with a steady rhythm will flourish. The chords are a common chord progression in the key of C, F & G. Specifically: C, Am, F, G7; F, Dm, Bb, C7; G, Em, C, D7. Intermediate and advanced students should be familiar with some inversions of these chords.
Ukulele Jump Start for Beginners!
The only prerequisite is a willingness to try something new. This is a great opportunity for you to invite a friend or loved one who might not have prior ukulele experience but has expressed an interest to join you at Menucha for a wonderful week of music and merriment. Loaner ukuleles available. Go to the Class Descriptions link below to learn more about the Jump Start experience.
Please note: Band camp is an acoustic environment. Please check the FAQ page for notes on bringing other instruments to camp.
If you have any questions about whether this is the camp for you, please contact the creative director, Marianne Brogan at 503-679-0391 or email@example.com.

Before you go through the trouble, make sure that you have the clutch cable adjusted. The adjustment is very fine.

I find that half a turn of the barrel adjsuter can be the difference between slipping and dragging.
On another slightly related note, if you are not getting much clutch drag or hard time finding neutral then you probably do not need new thrust washers.
Yeah, Ive adjusted her a few times when I noticed the bike doesn't easily move in gear with the bike off and lever pulled. (Moves fine it on.) But Never had a problem with dragging or finding neutral. Cant even tell if she's sliiping unless you try to wheelie or if you've been in rush hour traffic. Someone told me to get stronger springs but figured if Im in there I'll do the plates too.

Some environmental medicine experts worry that parents using any one of dozens of baby products could be exposing their children to chemicals that could hurt their reproductive ability later on in life.
In a new study, University of Washington researchers found evidence of chemicals called phthalates in the urine of 163 infants exposed to a baby product such as shampoo, lotion or powder. The study was released Monday in the journal Pediatrics.
However, there still exists little evidence that phthalates — man-made chemicals that are found in many products from tubing to cosmetics — cause any harm to humans.
Still, the researchers noted that the fact that evidence of the substances were found in the urine of more than 80 percent of the babies in the study suggests more should be done to identify products that contain these chemicals.
"We still do not know what the true long-term effects of these chemicals are," said lead study author Dr. Sheela Sathyanarayana, pediatric environmental health fellow at the University of Washington in Seattle. "But we do have more evidence that they are linked to human health effects at concentrations we are exposed to every day."
Some environmental medicine experts not affiliated with the study said the research should sound an alarm to both parents and pediatricians.
"Parents and physicians should pay close attention to these results," said Bernard Weiss, professor of environmental medicine and pediatrics at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in Rochester, N.Y.
"We already possess substantial data demonstrating that the developing child is at risk for a number of adverse health effects arising from phthalate exposure," he said.
Dr. Bruce Lanphear, director of the Environmental Health Center at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, agreed that concern is warranted.
"Parents and doctors should be worried about their children's exposures to phthalates and other chemicals that are largely untested for toxicity," he said. "For far too long, we have allowed industries to market their product without evidence that the products are safe when used as directed.
"The public health implications of these products are considerable."
Despite the finding that the chemicals may be more ubiquitous in infants than once thought, the new research is unlikely to quell the debate over whether phthalates are indeed harmful to babies.
While most past research has been done in mice and other animals, a growing number of studies are looking at the possible effects of the chemicals on humans. And thus far, most of these studies, conducted in both the United States and Europe, have not suggested that the chemicals have a detrimental effect on human health.
"The study did not find adverse effects from phthalates, nor was it designed to find such effects," said Dr. Marcel Casavant, chief of pharmacology and toxicology at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. "That phthalates are present in most or all of us isn't particularly new; what the study adds is that absorption of phthalates through the skin seems to be an important way many babies get their phthalates.
"I don't think this information should worry parents."

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the ZCfgSvc.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as ZeroCfgSvc MFC Application or Intel® PROSet/Wireless Zero Config Service or Intel R PROSet/Wireless Zero Config Service
belongs to software ZeroCfgSvc Application or Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software or Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi or Intel® Network Connections or Intel® PROSet/Wireless or mZConfig or ZeroCfgSvc MFC Application or Intel R PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software
by Intel (www.intel.com) or Intel R .
Description: ZCfgSvc.exe is not essential for Windows and will often cause problems. ZCfgSvc.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files" (common is C:\WINDOWS\system32\ or C:\Program Files\Intel\Wireless\Bin\).
Known file sizes on Windows 8/7/XP are 667,718 bytes (31% of all occurrences), 389,120 bytes and 26 more variants.
The file is not a Windows core file. The program is not visible. You can uninstall this program in the Control Panel. The software starts upon Windows startup (see Registry key: MACHINE\Run, Run). ZCfgSvc.exe is able to record keyboard and mouse inputs and monitor applications. Therefore the technical security rating is 33% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
If you are having problems with ZCfgSvc.exe, you can also visit the www.intel.com support page, update the program to the latest version or uninstall the associated program (Start > Control Panel > Add/Remove programs > Intel Zero Config MFC Application or Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi).
Recommended: Identify ZCfgSvc.exe related errors
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as ZCfgSvc.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the ZCfgSvc.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of ZCfgSvc.exe: based on 74 votes with 9 reviews. 26 users think ZCfgSvc.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. 9 users think it's probably harmless. 21 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous. 10 users suspect danger. 8 users think ZCfgSvc.exe is dangerous and recommend removing it. 15 users don't grade ZCfgSvc.exe ("not sure about it").
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with ZCfgSvc.

Fun time - Trishaw ride, Penang
16 Reviews
16 Reviews
We met Sammy as we were about to leave Penang, and I must say that he gave us absolutely astounding service. I approached Sammy as we left the hotel to find out what a trip to the ferry would cost and he replied "About 5 Ringit". He was also prepared to wait for us, at no extra charge, while we went shopping for almost an hour. Then it was the trip itself down to the ferry and Sammy was kind enough to show us all the various temples along the route and a bit of history about them as well. Sammy's English is impecable, even though spoken through broken teeth. He must have been one of the friendliest people that I met in Penang.
if you like to try on a trishaw ride, do consider about the size of the guy who gonna paddle you for side seeing. i came across a couple who are em... quite big size with a skinny old guy paddling them around penang town. oh... it reminds me of a hilarius scene in a chinese local comedy....
Georgetown is an Island with small alley streets. In the old time, most locals were riding rickshaws to get around downtown area. In Penang, locals called their rickshaw as Beca in Malay language.
From my pictures, you can see the passenger seat is mounted in front of the driver's seat. It is quite unique as comparing to the rickshaw in Singapore and Philippines as the passenger seat is side by side with driver's seat. With the unique design, passengers would be able to enjoy the scenic views during a ride.
Due to modern infrastructure, most locals are taking buses and taxi in the island. The number of rickshaws in the city is reducing. Currently, Penang has less than 200 rickshaws on Penang streets, mainly to ride tourists to nearby attractions within the city. All of these rickshaws have special permit from the government and a round plate at the back of the driver's seat.
Try Penang rickshaw to enjoy the charm of Penang heritages buildings!
You can't go to Penang without having at least one trishaw ride. It's a wonderful way to see the sights of Georgetown, and the drivers generally double as a tour guide and have lots of information to share.
It is a little scary being amongst the heavy traffic, just hold on and hope for the best
One of my fondest memories is taking a ride on the trishaw when I was a kid. It was the easiest and cheapest mode of transportation in those days. We would haggle the price before we hopped on and take a slow leisurely ride. Traffic then was a lot less so it was pretty safe.
Today, taking the trishaw is a novelty and a very touristy thing. As traffic has worsened significantly, these rides are only available at certain touristy places like Gurney Drive.
When I was small, i used to follow my adopted parents to Penang, we leave the car at Butterworth Jetty and took the ferry to Penang. Then we took a Beca (in malay language) or Trishaw. It was indeed very fun travelling around Penang in Beca.
So, when you holiday in Penang, try to take this old fashion transport like Beca to go around Georgetown,Penang.
Please read for more informations :
You can find Beca at Ferry Terminal and next to Cititel Hotel at Penang Road.
We always stay at the Casuarina Beach Resort and this is where the night markets begin and are set up all the way down to the Golden Sands .. and by the time ya get to the end .. forget walking back .. take a trishaw .. its a fun way back .. AND DIRT CHEAP
You can pick a trishaw to tour around town. Make sure you don't get the one with music because you can't talk to your partner during the ride. Be patient to wait for the trishaw to cross because roads are narrow and cars move faster than you thought.
Once the most common mode of transport, the trishaw (rickshaw) is still very much alive today. Riding in it is a very pleasant experience for in Penang and, the trishaw is King Of The Road. You can rent a trishaw on an hourly basis or per trip. Do negotiate before getting on a trishaw though, 'cause there is no standard fare for it. And you can stop anywhere along the way if you wish ...
A trishaw ride would be a good substitute for a walk around Georgetown's little lanes. Away with the trouble of identifying locations on a map. Just tell the driver where you like to go. The ride is cheap and slow enough to take nice photos. The trishaw rides can be found along Jalan Penang.
If you want a nice, relaxing way to travel around Georgetown then jump aboard a tri-shaw and let one of Penang's incredible tri-shaw drivers take you on a tour. It's truly amazing how these wirey old men are able to push about 150kg of passenger plus their own weight! We climbed aboard near the SoHo Free House bar/restaurant on Jalan Penang and the guy took us for 1 hour all over Georgetown for about 20 Ringgit (we felt like we were ripping him off so we gave him an extra 10 Ringgit...).
A trishaw ride is one of the best ways of seeing Penang. Besides the novelty of travelling in this open-fronted three-wheeled vehicle, trishaws allow visitors the opportunity of doing the sights at a more leisurely pace stopping at any point to snap pictures or buy souvenirs.
There is no standard fare and it would be wise to agree on the price before you step on the trishaw. For extended sightseeing, it is advisable to hire them by the hour.
Once upon of time in 1960's and 70's, the trishaw is one kind of important mode of transport in town for short distance up to 5km in many township in Malaysia, and it was in my hometown, Parit Buntar too.
Now, they are only for tourism purposes, to carry the lovely tourists for a sightseeing tour in town. In Penang, Kota Bharu, Melaka they are still exist with some differences. The Penang and Kota Bahru trishaw has its rider behind the passengers seat, whilst the trishaw in Melaka has its rider at the side.
You can have a ride on the Penang trishaw on Penang Street. They usually gather in a line waiting for tourists. Ask and bargain for a price to have a ride of a fixed time period to tour the streets in Georgetown.
Well nothing is better than moving around the heart of Penang using trishaw..because many of Penang's heritage are closeby ...
To see Georgetown from a different angle, I'd recommend a ride in a trishaw. I took a ride in one at night, it was fun & a bit scary to get caught up in the night traffic.

The best fudge I've ever made, hands down! I used the milk chocolate chips as suggested in the variation. Rich, creamy - delicious!!
The taste is very good; would recommend this recipe. I can't figure out why my fudge is setting really fast. It didn't take 2 hours to set; took about 30 mins or less. Is that ok?
I've made this recipe so many times, I cannot remember them! This recipe turns out to be perfect, every time. When people go away and ask me if they can bring me the "best fudge you've ever tasted" , I thank them and so no, I make the best fudge. Thanks LOL. Donna
I made this recipe several years ago and continue to make it over and over again upon requests by all who have tasted it. It's easy, smooth and delicious. I have substituted chocolate chips for butterscotch or white chocolate for a nice variety. You'll be very pleased witht his one.
