In 1824, the Macallan distillery was licensed to Alexander Reid, but under a different name; it started life as Elchies Distillery. Macallan sits in close proximity to a ford across the river Spey, the site originally held a farm distillery, which was frequented by cattle drovers crossing the ford. The distillery was expanded toward the end of the nineteenth century and renamed Macallan-Glenlivet and in 1980 the 'Glenlivet' suffix was removed.From the 1950s onwards, Macallan has been greatly extended; in 1965 it doubled its stills to twelve, then to eighteen in 1974 and in 1975, it further increased them to number twenty-one. This was down to great demand, for Macallan had become very sought after. Old vintages are highly prized and very valuable.Roderick Kemp acquired the distillery in 1892 and set up a family trust. In 1968, Macallan-Glenlivet was traded on the London Stock Exchange. The name is a conjunction of 'Magh', Gaelic for a fertile piece of land, and 'Ellan', or 'Of St Fillan'. St Fillan was an Irish Monk who travelled through Scotland during the 700s, promoting Christianity.In 1986, the Japanese company Suntory bought out a quarter of the stocks and a decade later, Highland Distillers bought out the remaining stocks, ending the Kemp family interests. The Macallan has largely used Sherry casks for the maturation of their whisky. A very characteristic Speysider, Macallan recently brought out a range of Fine Oak casks which were Bourbon-matured and an eighteen year-old from this range, took first place in Whisky Magazine's "Best Malts of the World".

The Park City Miners football team rode into Price, played 48 minutes of football and left with a shutout of the Carbon High Dinos, 59-0.
Eight different Miners scored a touchdown for Park City as the momentum of the game quickly went to the side of the Miners. The Miners led 14-0 at the end of the first quarter, with touchdowns coming by way of a 68-yard pass from Paul Flake to Juno Schettler and a 60-yard pass from Flake to Heath Vincent.
The Miners blew the game wide open in the second quarter as they put 26 points up on the board, with three more touchdowns and a safety. The scoring in the quarter started off with Flake reaching the end zone on a 1-yard run. Miners kicker Kennan Ward added a 37-yard field goal putting the Miners up 24-0. On a subsequent Dino drive the Miners got a safety, putting them up 26-0. The Miners added two more touchdowns before halftime with Blake Thorne scoring on a 36-yard run and a 50-yard pass from Flake to Schettler, putting the Miners up 40-0 at the half.
In the third quarter, Park City put up 13 more points as they scored touchdowns on a 52-yard run by Chad Wing and a 36-yard run by Chad Smith, putting the score at 53-0.
In the fourth quarter, Park City added one more touchdown as the Miners scored on a 6-yard pass from Heath Vincent to Collin Gardner, leading 59-0.
Park City had a strong performance by quarterback Paul Flake, who went 6-for-12 for 201 yards and three touchdowns. He also added one score on the ground. Blake Thorne ran for 114 yards and a touchdown while Chad Wing ran for 70 yards and a TD on only two carries for the Miners.
Carbon High Dinos coach Jeff Blanc said that Park City deserves a lot of credit for the win as they executed their plays well on both sides of the ball The Dinos offense was unable to put together a long drive throughout the game, gaining only around 50 yards of offense, according to Blanc.
"Offensively they just shut us down by plugging our running holes," said Blanc. "We won't see too many teams that are as good as Park City."
Defensively Blanc said the Dinos didn't tackle very well, enabling the Miners to make big plays.
Carbon High will play their next game at American Leadership Academy (ALA) on Oct. 8.

Outdoor ads are sometimes criticized as a form of visual pollution—obscuring scenic views, cluttering country highways or covering city streets—but some marketers are creating outdoor work that actively fights pollution, from toxic water to contaminated air.
In the Philippines, an 88-foot billboard that promotes Japanese natural cosmetics brand Shokubutsu Hana is made of vetiver grass, which has toxin-absorbing properties. Placed in Manila's heavily polluted Pasig River, the billboard can cleanse up to 8,000 gallons of water a day. (While not a traditional outdoor ad, a Cannes gold Lion winner in the outdoor category similarly serves as a means to clean water: Produced by the charity Water Is Life, "The Drinkable Book" is a manual covering good sanitation and hygienic practices that also purifies drinking water, thanks to a paper coating that can destroy deadly bacteria.) In Peru, meanwhile, a billboard for engineering university UTEC purifies air up to five blocks away. Situated within the construction site of UTEC's new campus, the billboard can filter 100,000 cubic meters of air per day.
Each campaign highlights a commitment to quality of life, reflecting positively on the organizations. In UTEC's case, the university recognizes that growth and development can cause pollution but shows that it has the know-how to help mitigate the negative impact. These practical efforts go beyond raising awareness to providing solutions to real problems, addressing anxieties and improving lives immediately.

My 150 g/m2 merino tee shirt is too warm for summer days. It is far warmer (and substantially heavier) than my Duofold coolmax tee shirt, but the coolmax starts to smell fairly offensive after a few days on the trail. Are cool, ultra thin and breathable synthetics with truly effective odor control still a fantasy? Has anyone had any particularly good (low-odor) experiences with superlight synthetic tee shirts?
Edited by ckrusor on 05/23/2013 00:16:11 MDT.
Edited by RogerDodger on 06/22/2015 11:05:19 MDT.
"Cotton"I agree. You can get all sorts of different thickness and weights. I use it a lot. The least stinky and most breathable synthetic I have is a Rail Riders Eco-T. I use it a lot too.
...I have one Starter athletic shirt from WallyWorld that doesn't stink. I have no idea why; the other two I have in the same polyester jersey material most definitely do after a day or two of use. Maybe it's the white color (the other two are blue)? I got nothing. Regardless, it doesn't get that "synthetic funk" that kills skunks at fifty paces, even after being used a couple of days in a row in FL summers. And at ~$10, it might be worth checking out, even if it doesn't wind up working for you (even if it doesn't work for the trail, you just got a PT shirt, so not an entirely bad deal). It's the DryStar line of polyester jersey material (the one with the really loose weave), in a very light grey/off-white color. Hope it helps!
Like Nick, I find the Rail Riders shirts(mine an eco-mesh) to be less stinky than any other synthetic shirts I own. That may be because of the loose fit and highly ventilated design?
First questions... are you sure you shirt is 150 g/m2 and what color is it? I ask because my 150 g/m2 is as light (weight wise) as any of my synthetic tech-tees, and I find it almost as cool wearing when compared to the synthetics in the same color / UV level protection. If the shirt isn't white, you might think about a color change rather than a material chance.As to synthetics that don't stink... nothing matches wool.There has been a suggestion of Eco-Mesh. I use an Eco-Mesh (actually their Adventure Shirt which is the same except button rather than velco closure) when I am facing heavy bug situation. It is less stinky than some tech-tees, but it doesn't match wool (or the best tech-tees I have found). For me, it gets stinky after a 2-3 of days. It also is a lot less air permeable than a traditional tech-tee, so I find it hotter wearing it than a tech-tee.The best options I have found so far don't seem to be made anymore, shirts using x-static or VisaEndurance with >=8% silver. Unfortunately most use on 4% silver which isn't' effective enough for me. I have heard good reports about ArcTeryx Motus, but haven't tried it myself.--Mark
Edited by verber on 05/23/2013 09:09:50 MDT.
Just want to clarify my earlier post. It is the Eco Speed T Shirt. Much different than the Rail Riders shirt most are used to. http://www.railriders.com/men-eco-speed-p-839.html
Thanks for the input. To clarify, my merino tee is definitely 150 gsm. It is labelled as such and I was selective when I bought it. It weighs 5.4 oz. My coolmax polyester tee (which I bought in about 1998) weighs 3.6 oz, and the material is much thinner. In summer I rapidly overheat in the wool tee. I can't wear it when I go running, for example. It is light green in color, and the coolmax tee is a dark forest green. I'd like to find something like the old coolmax tee I have, but with x-static fibers, or some other silver/quaternary ammonium treatment that controls odor. I don't expect any polyester to stink as little as wool after a couple of days, but I was hoping that advances in technology in the past fifteen years had produced something substantially better than the old-fashioned coolmax.Thanks for the suggestions to look at the Railriders shirts. I think I'm looking for something more like an athletic tee, though (light knits worn by runners, etc.).
Edited by ckrusor on 05/23/2013 10:46:55 MDT.
Colin,Are you getting PMs? Sent you one.Doug
I have the lightweight Nike shirt that runs 3.7 oz in large. Its the lightest shirt I can find from Nike.I have worn it 9 days straight without taking it off, sweating heavily every day,. It doesnt smell (to me). I have wondered it perhaps permethrin has something to do with it.I have some golite wildwood Ts coming that are 2.5-3 oz. Will find out this weekend how they fare.
They aren't synthetic, but check out the Rab Meco shirts. They have a 120 gsm weight which is significantly cooler than my 150 gsm merino shirts. The cocona content makes it pretty durable too- moreso than even 150 gsm merino which can be quite delicate. I wore one for 12 days in a row and while I didn't smell like roses, it was way better than with any synthetic I've ever used.
"As to synthetics that don't stink... nothing matches wool."100% Linen does. Based on a combo of both experience and research.
I second Andrew's recommendation. Try out the Rab Meco 120 t shirt. I have one and it is fantastic. I have used their meco line extensively and it is far, far more durable than merino wool, yet has the same odor-fighting abilities. The meco t-shirt is a snug fit, so if you want it for really hot weather, consider sizing up for a looser fit.
> I have the lightweight Nike shirt that runs 3.7 ozhmm... we must have different body chemistry or maybe I just too sensitive. I can get maybe 2 days with my Nike running shirt before my noise starts to get offended.--Mark

We've been keeping tabs on Alice Dellal for quite some time now, admiring her cutting-edge hairstyle and commitment to grunge-inspired outfits from afar. The young heiress/model possesses a signature style (partially shaved head, predilection for beat-up leather jackets, smudged charcoal eyeliner) that is refreshingly uncommon-especially in comparison to typical red carpet polish we see all the time. It's rare to find someone in the public eye with such a daring fashion perspective, so we commend Dellal for her risky looks and are certain that you'll find her an inspiring Girl of the Month.
Dellal's personal taste alone warrants the spotlight treatment, but recent developments in her budding career cemented her one-to-watch status. As the granddaughter of a British real-estate mogul, Jack Dellal, and daughter of a Brazilian model, Andrea Dellal, it's clear the young Alice was blessed with good fortune. She's been living up to genetic expectations thus far, and has already been photographed by her godfather, the esteemed fashion photographer Mario Testino, for Paris Vogue, walked the runway for Vivienne Westwood's F/W 08 show, and is rumored to be the new face/form for Agent Provocateur. Though no official statement has been released, word on the street is that she completed a racy new campaign with AP to be released this fall. If this isn't proof enough, consider the following: the brilliant Alexander Wang is "obsessed" with Dellal and used her in the campaign for his collaboration with Uniqlo.
Considering the way she's been anointed by some of the world's key tastemakers, it's clear the fashion world is enthusiastic about Dellal. No doubt this is in part due to her idiosyncratic look and wardrobe. The way she puts herself together-flannel top peeking out from a leather jacket, punky jewelry pieces, hardcore combat boots-results in a Janet Livermore from Singles/Seattle plaid/early nineties cornucopia that, oddly enough, feels very genuine. While Dellal has this distinctly tomboyish side, she also brings a subversive sexuality to her outfits via barely-there patterned black stockings, blonde Botticelli curls, and skyscraper heels. The play of slacker-rocker against pin-up vixen is decidedly interesting to watch, especially because it's so fundamentally offbeat and personal. What can we say-we're officially captivated! -Jessica Amento
Alice Options
We collected a handful of appropriate wardrobe pieces to help you emulate Dellal's malice in wonderland style.
1. Mike & Chris Nolan Biker Leather Jacket ($915)
Our hunt for the perfect Dellalian leather jacket brought us to this divine style by Mike & Chris. We think that the cropped length and asymmetrical zipper would hold mighty appeal for Ms. Alice.
2. ASOS Leather Biker Jacket ($184)
ASOS's leather jacket has a completely different look and price point, but is still in the spirit of our GOTM. If you'd prefer a little leather jacket with lots of zippers and a vintage-style aged look, this one's for you!
3. Kettle Black Long Sleeve Flannel Dress ($115)
We suggest pairing this dress with some patterned or ripped tights and a hot pair of lace-up boots.
4. Cassette Sioux Tee ($77)
Dress up this burnout t-shirt by wearing it with an oversized blazer and bandage skirt. You'll get bonus Alice points if you wear it with some sort of stomper boot.
5. Betsey Johnson Victoriana Tights ($25)
Much like the lace tights we featured in W.W.W.D. Tips earlier this week, these Swiss-patterned stockings by the one-of-a-kind Betsey Johnson are ahead of the trend.
6. Shimamura Paris & Co. Round Pyramid Bracelet ($145)
Dellal doesn't always wear lots of jewelry, but she does seem to have a soft spot for tough-looking wrist accoutrement. Available in either black leather or black patent, this simple studded bracelet would be the perfect finishing touch for any ensemble.
7. SURevolution Small Studded Bangles ($25)
We could easily imagine Dellal mixing a handful of these stellar skinny bangles with other bracelets
8. Zinc Pennie Mary Janes ($93)
Dellal would snatch up these platform mary janes in a heartbeat, and then pair them with some leather pants or jean cutoffs.

In a statement issued Sept. 28, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) warned that funding for veterans benefits "will run out by late October" if the federal government shuts down. "At that point, VA will be unable to make any payments."
While claims processors at the Veterans Benefits Administration would continue working after a shutdown, funding for any benefits that might be awarded to America's veterans would soon dry up, VA warned.
"Congress has an obligation to put veterans ahead of politics," said American Legion National Commander Daniel M. Dellinger. "The fact that funding for VA benefits could disappear in a month ought to be incentive enough for our elected leaders to achieve a solution."
According to the VA statement, "The Administration strongly believes that a lapse in appropriations should not occur. There is enough time for Congress to prevent a lapse in appropriations, and the Administration is willing to work with Congress to enact a short-term continuing resolution to fund critical Government operations and allow Congress the time to complete the full-year 2014 appropriations."
And according to VA's "Veterans Field Guide to Government Shutdown," other services would be impacted by a potential lapse in appropriations, including:
"Our federal government must never put veterans in this kind of position," Dellinger said. "It is imperative that Congress understands that The American Legion strongly objects to the cessation of any VA benefits or services that put our country's veterans and loved ones at risk."

Ok, so he is not a baby but my 13-year-old son said something quite monumental tonight. He said, and I quote " Mom, I think you have mastered pasta, it's time to move on to soups and stews"! He further said "we have pasta every other night". I got very quite trying hard to think of some kind of soup he would eat. He said my silence was "creeping him out". hahahahaha….good!
He also said it was time to bring out my "inner-German through marriage" and make some potato soup and broccoli soup. See I married a man who is of German/English/Welsh heritage. He loves Italian food. Most of my children do. This one son though has issues with most of the foods I cook. He doesn't like tomatoes or tomato sauce. He doesn't onions, celery or carrots cooked in soups. He won't eat much pasta unless it has cheese or cheez sauce. It's a sore spot to my psyche. But I figure that God gave me this boy, picky taste buds and all, so I have always been up to the challenge of cooking for this boy and his tastes. I guess I can cook other foods that he likes. Isn't making my family happy important? Yes, I think it is. So please know that this Italian mama chef will continue to make pasta and sauce but I will also add into my meal plan more meals of my son's liking. Maybe I can figure out how to make Salisbury steak be an Italian meal? Or how about Italian potato soup? I am sure it can be done! Stay tuned for more in the saga of how I move on "to soups and stews".

Most carburetors on the market have fixed sizes that would require drilling or replacing press in bleeds - all of our carburetors can be tuned by simply exchanging one size for another with a standard screwdriver.
Quick Fuel Technology is the only carburetor manufacturer that utilizes changeable air bleeds in ALL carburetor models.
Aluminum Fuel Bowls
In racing, every pound counts, and the aluminum fuel bowls from Quick Fuel Technology save a 1/2 pound over traditional zinc units. Marine-grade aluminum construction resists corrosion, the bright tumbled finish and clear chromate coating add flash and protection to your fuel system.
Metering Blocks
CNC machined metering blocks provide more precise fuel metering and control, improved throttle response and a uniform fuel performance curve. Machined from premium billet aluminum to the strictest tolerances and then anodized for protection and good looks, these blocks are the standard by which performance carburetors are measured.
QFT metering blocks, depending on the kit, come with 3, 4, or 5 stage emulsion circuits. We have several styles and applications to choose from - whether it is street or race duty we have something for your carburetor and fuel type.
Aluminum High-Flow Main Body
The light-weight aluminum main body is the basis for ALL Quick Fuel Technology carburetors. Precision vacuum-drawn die castings help minimize any chance for porosity in the casting. Critical casting dimensions can be maintained to much closer tolerances. The larger CFM sizes are precision machined in a second hard tool operation to exacting specifications, this provides "real world" venturi / throttle bore combinations that provide both maximum air flow and high-RPM performance. Scalloped, symmetrical throttle bore openings provide minimal restriction to air flow and increase the RPM operating range. Whether it's on the street, trail, or race track every carburetor benefits from this technology
Fuel Bowl Sight Glass
All Quick Fuel Technology carburetors and aluminum fuel bowls kits include QuickSet sight glass windows
to help accurately and safely set fuel level settings.
Electric Choke
fully adjustable electric choke. Simple one wire hookup combined with easy adjustability make for a trouble free choke setup.
Four Door-Power Valves
The standard by which all other power valves are measured QFT® exclusive in-house design has become the power valve of preference by professional race teams in virtually every circuit where carburetors are used. Not only does the FOUR DOOR™ power valve have a much greater flow capacity (vital for alcohol applications), but a quicker response rate and tighter limit bands allow engine builders to precisely tune the power enrichment phase of their calibration. Each FOUR DOOR™ power valve is hand tested and set to the stamped value. The thicker molded diaphragm adds increased protection against backfire induced rupture and corrosive fuels (such as alcohol / E85) No one offers a broader selection of opening values than QFT®. This power valve design is covered by patent B 65204BBB1.
Non-Stick Gaskets
All QFT carburetors are assembled with non-stick gaskets. These gaskets are a better seal than competitor gaskets and make assembly easier along with servicing. All QFT rebuild kits are furnished with non-stick gaskets.
QFT Premium Floats
Quick Fuel Technology offers an assortment of carburetor floats. The floats range from brass, Nitrophyl®, and other proprietary materials that are resistant to todays modern fuels (Oxygenated Race Fuel, E85, and Methanol). We offer precision crafted and balanced floats for all types of applications, including: drag rading, circle track, street driving and marine.
PCV Port
Carburetors have a Pollution Control Valve (PCV) port mounted in the throttle plate, drawing equal vacuum from two venturi's, not just one - perfect for street driven machines that need a PCV or power brake vacuum hook-up
Dual Vacuum Ports
Dual Vacuum ports: found on all Hot Rod, Street Series, and select Q-Series Carburetors. The outside one (closest to the mounting stud hole) is for full manifold vacuum, and the inside is for ported spark advance signal

An inguinal hernia happens when contents of the abdomen—usually fat or part of the small intestine—bulge through a weak area in the lower abdominal wall. The abdomen is the area between the chest and the hips. The area of the lower abdominal wall is also called the inguinal or groin region.
Two types of inguinal hernias are
Inguinal hernias occur at the inguinal canal in the groin region.
The inguinal canal is a passage through the lower abdominal wall. People have two inguinal canals—one on each side of the lower abdomen. In males, the spermatic cords pass through the inguinal canals and connect to the testicles in the scrotum—the sac around the testicles. The spermatic cords contain blood vessels, nerves, and a duct, called the spermatic duct, that carries sperm from the testicles to the penis. In females, the round ligaments, which support the uterus, pass through the inguinal canals.
The cause of inguinal hernias depends on the type of inguinal hernia.
Indirect inguinal hernias. A defect in the abdominal wall that is present at birth causes an indirect inguinal hernia.
During the development of the fetus in the womb, the lining of the abdominal cavity forms and extends into the inguinal canal. In males, the spermatic cord and testicles descend out from inside the abdomen and through the abdominal lining to the scrotum through the inguinal canal. Next, the abdominal lining usually closes off the entrance to the inguinal canal a few weeks before or after birth. In females, the ovaries do not descend out from inside the abdomen, and the abdominal lining usually closes a couple of months before birth.1
Sometimes the lining of the abdomen does not close as it should, leaving an opening in the abdominal wall at the upper part of the inguinal canal. Fat or part of the small intestine may slide into the inguinal canal through this opening, causing a hernia. In females, the ovaries may also slide into the inguinal canal and cause a hernia.
Indirect hernias are the most common type of inguinal hernia.2 Indirect inguinal hernias may appear in 2 to 3 percent of male children; however, they are much less common in female children, occurring in less than 1 percent.3
Indirect inguinal hernia in a male
Direct inguinal hernias. Direct inguinal hernias usually occur only in male adults as aging and stress or strain weaken the abdominal muscles around the inguinal canal. Previous surgery in the lower abdomen can also weaken the abdominal muscles.
Females rarely form this type of inguinal hernia. In females, the broad ligament of the uterus acts as an additional barrier behind the muscle layer of the lower abdominal wall. The broad ligament of the uterus is a sheet of tissue that supports the uterus and other reproductive organs.
Males are much more likely to develop inguinal hernias than females. About 25 percent of males and about 2 percent of females will develop an inguinal hernia in their lifetimes.2 Some people who have an inguinal hernia on one side will have or will develop a hernia on the other side.
People of any age can develop inguinal hernias. Indirect hernias can appear before age 1 and often appear before age 30; however, they may appear later in life. Premature infants have a higher chance of developing an indirect inguinal hernia. Direct hernias, which usually only occur in male adults, are much more common in men older than age 40 because the muscles of the abdominal wall weaken with age.4
People with a family history of inguinal hernias are more likely to develop inguinal hernias. Studies also suggest that people who smoke have an increased risk of inguinal hernias.5
The first sign of an inguinal hernia is a small bulge on one or, rarely, on both sides of the groin—the area just above the groin crease between the lower abdomen and the thigh. The bulge may increase in size over time and usually disappears when lying down.
Other signs and symptoms can include
Indirect and direct inguinal hernias may slide in and out of the abdomen into the inguinal canal. A health care provider can often move them back into the abdomen with gentle massage.
Inguinal hernias can cause the following complications:
People who have symptoms of an incarcerated or a strangulated hernia should seek emergency medical help immediately. A strangulated hernia is a life-threatening condition. Symptoms of an incarcerated or a strangulated hernia include
A health care provider diagnoses an inguinal hernia with
Medical and family history. Taking a medical and family history may help a health care provider diagnose an inguinal hernia. Often the symptoms that the patient describes will be signs of an inguinal hernia.
Physical exam. A physical exam may help diagnose an inguinal hernia. During a physical exam, a health care provider usually examines the patient's body. The health care provider may ask the patient to stand and cough or strain so the health care provider can feel for a bulge caused by the hernia as it moves into the groin or scrotum. The health care provider may gently try to massage the hernia back into its proper position in the abdomen.
Imaging tests. A health care provider does not usually use imaging tests, including x rays, to diagnose an inguinal hernia unless he or she
Specially trained technicians perform imaging tests at a health care provider's office, an outpatient center, or a hospital.
A radiologist—a doctor who specializes in medical imaging—interprets the images. A patient does not usually need anesthesia.
Tests may include the following:
Repair of an inguinal hernia via surgery is the only treatment for inguinal hernias and can prevent incarceration and strangulation. Health care providers recommend surgery for most people with inguinal hernias and especially for people with hernias that cause symptoms. Research suggests that men with hernias that cause few or no symptoms may be able to safely delay surgery until their symptoms increase.3,6 Men who delay surgery should watch for symptoms and see a health care provider regularly. Health care providers usually recommend surgery for infants and children to prevent incarceration.1 Emergent, or immediate, surgery is necessary for incarcerated or strangulated hernias.
A general surgeon—a doctor who specializes in abdominal surgery—performs hernia surgery at a hospital or surgery center, usually on an outpatient basis. Recovery time varies depending on the size of the hernia, the technique used, and the age and health of the person.
Hernia surgery is also called herniorrhaphy. The two main types of surgery for hernias are
People who undergo laparoscopic hernia repair generally experience a shorter recovery time than those who have an open hernia repair. However, the surgeon may determine that laparoscopy is not the best option if the hernia is large or if the person has had previous pelvic surgery.
Most adults experience discomfort and require pain medication after either an open hernia repair or a laparoscopic hernia repair. Intense activity and heavy lifting are restricted for several weeks. The surgeon will discuss when a person may safely return to work. Infants and children also experience some discomfort; however, they usually resume normal activities after several days.
Surgery to repair an inguinal hernia is quite safe, and complications are uncommon. People should contact their health care provider if any of the following symptoms appear:
Possible long-term complications include
People cannot prevent the weakness in the abdominal wall that causes indirect inguinal hernias. However, people may be able to prevent direct inguinal hernias by maintaining a healthy weight and not smoking.
People can keep inguinal hernias from getting worse or keep inguinal hernias from recurring after surgery by
Researchers have not found that eating, diet, and nutrition play a role in causing inguinal hernias. A person with an inguinal hernia may be able to prevent symptoms by eating high-fiber foods. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are high in fiber and may help prevent the constipation and straining that cause some of the painful symptoms of a hernia.
The surgeon will provide instructions on eating, diet, and nutrition after inguinal hernia surgery. Most people drink liquids and eat a light diet the day of the operation and then resume their usual diet the next day.

Air Contaminant Monitoring
Air contaminant monitoring is conducted to address employee complaints, OSHA inquiries, or to establish a baseline of the exposure. Air contaminant monitoring usually involves a comprehensive pre-assessment, including plant tour, meetings with specific personnel to acquire necessary exposure information, and review of Material Safety Data Sheets. Full shift representative air contaminant monitoring is then conducted.
Office occupants frequently complain of general symptoms potentially related to indoor air quality that include headache, fatigue, dryness and nausea. These discomfort symptoms may relate to inadequate fresh air, but could also stem from personal health conditions or stress. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) assessments assist companies in identifying true building-related air quality problems and resolution. An IAQ assessment generally consists of a building walkthrough, review of accessible heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, conversations with complainants and air quality monitoring.

Any ideas on how to repair a 1inch L-shaped rip in the seat of my down pants (Montbell)? I think it occurred after sitting on a wooden bench and it's now hemorrhaging feathers :-( I was thinking that stitching it might create pinholes for more feather loss, and maybe duct-tape or tenacious tape might be better. I don't care about appearances. Thanks for any advice.
I have repaired ripped down items with McNett Tenacious tape, cut out a patch and round out the edges and it will last a long time.
Thanks for the suggestion - that's what I'll do.
Best of luck, it really is a 2 minute job, I have done it via torch light when a buddy burned a hole in his down jacket.
Since those are sewn through you could also sacrifice the included stuff sack if the fabrics match and make a patch slightly larger than the sewn square. Fold under and sewn on.
I carry a foot of prepared 1/2" wide repair tape for this: the same fabric as our down gear with 3M9485 double-sided tape on it. The last repair has lasted >4 years.Cheers
I've repaired down garments in the past with a bit of scrap material from the stuff some and some sort of adhesive. Really though, tenacious tape works darn good and much quicker/simpler to do. My Montbell Alpine Light Parka has several nice little black circles of tenacious tape on it.
How well does the Tenacious Tape do in the wash? I need to repair a down jacket, and that's been my only concern with that method.I have some scrap material (sent from the manufacturer) and some double-sided transfer tape leftover from cuben projects that I was thinking of trying. Would that work better than Tenacious Tape?
Tenacious Tape is good.As an aside, I recommend not sitting on ANYTHING in those pants (love mine!) without a sit pad.
You're dead right about that - and watch out for any nearby bushes too.
The double sided transfer tape I have (3M 3485???) sticks decently but not as well as tenacious tape. I've never washed any garments patched with tenacious tape, but my guess is it would hold up good for a wash or two and then the edges might peel after a few washes. Pure speculation though. It's good tape but still tape.
A few years ago during a Utah trip, I burned a hole in my "beater" down coat I use for car camping. (We we were doing a trailhead bivvy before a trip. I leaned over the camp stove and singed it. Doh!)I put some duct tape on as a temp measure, stashed it in the car, came back from the trip and went to an outfitter in Moab and bought this tape:http://www.kenyonconsumer.com/store/product.php?productid=90When I arrived back at home, I gently washed with a damp cloth the area around the gash, dried the area and placed on the tape. With an iron on VERY LOW setting, I gently ironed around the edges of the tape.I still use this jacket regularly as my beater down jacket, the feathers have stayed intact and the repair has held 4+ yrs later.(As an aside, pay $55 on clearance for this jacket and has been quite the work horse for me http://www.trailspace.com/gear/ems/glacier-down-jacket/ No longer avail. )
Thanks for all your suggestions. I have Tenacious in my repair kit, and have never had a chance to use it, so this is it :-)
if the tenacious tape has been in your reair kit for a long time, it's probably no good(just trying to make a joke - ignore this)
Haha! Prob no sticky left...

I recently noticed that there are a few people out there who are including chocolate in their long distance hiking menu - most notably, Hershey's chocolate bars on Ryan Jordan's Arctic1000 food list and M&M's on Ryan Faulkner's trip in the Sierra's this August. I would like to start incorporating choclate into my trail diet as a way to increase my cal/oz ratio, but theres just one thing that I dont understand: How do you stop chocolate thats stored away in your pack from melting? I went to the store today to try out a couple of organic dark chocolate's, and by the time I got home, they had already started turning to mush. Maybe theres something I'm missing?As a side note, would anyone mind commenting on their favorite high calorie trail foods? I'm trying to put together a menu for a trip on the Wonderland trail next month. Because I'm 5'11'' but only 145 pounds, I really dont have any stored fat reserves and can't afford to lose weight from not consuming enough calories! Thanks everyone, -Dave:)

For the chocolate fix there is Nutella in a Coghlan's squeeze tube. Instant chocolate pudding is also great. Mrs. May's or MarebluNaturals Cashew Crunch are both really good.
Here in the UK, some school pupils won an award for inventing non melting chocolate after they heard that British Troops in Iraq were really missing chocolate. I've included the link below for the news article on the BBC website.It seems that they achieved it by adding glycerine. Apparently numerous taste tests were conducted at the school etc and they came up with something that the rest of the pupils liked.I reckon if the pupils liked it, it must taste okay. It looks like they are hoping to manufacture it in some way and apparently the British Ministry of Defence were interested in the idea.Anyway, this might be the answer to your problem!!!!http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/south_east/3513705.stm
Edited by waterloggedwellies on 06/19/2006 14:19:17 MDT.
Here's another thing you can do with nutella:Take a small peanut butter jar (the plastic ones are good and are very light), and scoop out the middle portion. Then take some nutella and heat it in the microwave till it's soft enough to pour. Pour nutella into the central cavity in the peanut butter and let cool. Now you have peanut butter on the outside and nutella on the inside. It's really tasty. Kind of like a reeses peanut butter cup.
Edited by DanG on 06/16/2006 14:52:22 MDT.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, Unfortunately, I'll have to stay away from the glycerin, as its most often animal derived, and as a vegan....well...That is an interesting idea though, especially coming from some youngsters!The nutella sounds interesting too, but I found the nutritional information...and erggh....whey and skim milk, both 'non-vegan.' This definitely could be more difficult for me. Does anyone know if powdered milk is one of the ingredients in instant chocolate pudding? (I'll probably just make a trip to the store later tonight)How do you imagine Ryan Jordan is doing it on his current trek. Perhaps its obvious - its just still too cold. In line with what Daniel suggested, I could always just mix in some melted chocolate with a bit of almond butter, and take that with me on the trail. I appreciate the help. -Dave:)
Edited by davidp80 on 06/16/2006 16:48:40 MDT.
Sorry David, I forgot that you are vegan. I could be wrong but, I don't think that instant chocolate pudding has milk in it. It is largely starch as I recall. However, the directions do say to add it to 2 cups of milk. I do not know if soy or rice milk is an acceptable alternative. Another option is to encase the chocolate in something, such as wax. I haven't tried this but it should work. I vaguely recall a discussion in these forums about this. Someone mentioned that the wax could have a dual use as a candle. Maybe cheese was the topic, I can't recall.
Hi David,You might consider Scharffenberger "Unsweetened 99%Cacao Pure Dark Chocolate". It has 250 cal/40gram serving which works out to ~178 cal/oz. It contains only cocoa beans and vanilla beans(a trace for flavoring), but warns that traces of lecithin and sugar may be present. Also, it is hard to beat walnuts and macadamia nuts for caloric density-both weigh in at around 200 cal/oz, or pecans at 190 cal/oz. Also, a small nalgene bottle of olive oil(~240 cal/oz) to add to your evening soup/grain might make sense or, like Ryan on his Arctic jaunt, clarified butter(Indians call it ghee-very tasty stuff which keeps at room temp very well). Good luck!
Eric - No worries, I dont expect people to remember small, unimportant details like that. You are right though, the vegan pudding mix I found at the local grocery store does not contain milk, but requires adding firm tofu to the mix. Because tofu is much too heavy (and dehydrated tofu is hard to come by), this just doesnt seem like a reasonable option. Tom - Those are good suggestions. I'd really like to find that chocolate pudding mix you're referring to, especially if it only requires adding water or soymilk. I have a ton of soymilk powder lying around the apartment, and believe it or not, it comes it at nearly 200 cal/oz unmixed. I think what I'll do, granting I can't find the particular brand you're describing, is just mix some melted, pure dark chocolate in with a bit of almond or cashew butter. Carrying along some olive oil is another good suggestion, and one that I intend on following. Although it isnt the most appetizing way to go about it, I typically just take one or two small shots per day of oils high in mono- and polyunsaturated fats. Safflower oil will give you nearly 260 cal/oz, and tastes a bit more neutral than olive oil. I also look forward to adding some potato and corn chips in to my long distance trail diet - something that I usually don't do on shorter trips and try not to give in to at home. 150-160 cal/oz and very tasty....:)Thanks again everyone, -Dave:)

You might be surprised at how well chocolate holds up. I've not had too much trouble, even in 80-90s southern AT heat. I imagine avoiding extended direct sunlight helps. Favorites for me would include PayDay, Sunbelt granola bars, Snickers, M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, Balance Bars, Mrs. Field's Cookies [esp. double chocolate varieties], really salty/spicy peanuts, and your basic cheese-on-cheese crackers.-Mark
Ryan and Mark - thanks for your input. Raisons are a worthwhile consideration, since many of us are lacking in the fruit/vegetable category while on the trail. Nuts, no matter what kind, do 'get real old real fast', as Ryan Jordan pointed out on his arctic1000 website, so especially salty and/or spicy varieties would work well to keep things fresh. Some of my favorites, for others who might be reading this post in interest, especially if you're trying to maintain a somewhat healthy diet on the trail are:Whole golden flaxseeds - can be added to just about everything, from oatmeal and dried potato flakes to rice, pudding, and peanut butter. High in Omega 3 fatty acids. 160 cal/oz. Sunflower seeds - a great source 'good fat' and carbohydrates. Good for munching on out of your pocket while walking, especially if you like to keep your mind occupied. 180 cal/oz. Granola - comes in a ton of different varieties. High in carbs, fiber (especially useful for those who choose not to carry toilet paper into the backcountry), and fat. 145 cal/oz. Soymilk powder - a variety of uses, and unless my calculations are incorrect....200 cal/oz. Thanks guys, -Dave:)

I once carried snickers bars in the center of a rolled up US Amy poncho liner for a day in Panama while reconing an end of course lane for the Jungle warfare school...100 degrees, repelled over a water fall, swam the shagrass (sp) river...that nights Biv found the bars just like when they left the store...A good alternative use for your sleep system while in your pack....Btw this also works as a good place for a nalgene full of hot coffe for lunch on a winter hike...just make sure the lid is tight.Pan
This isn't a solution, but something that makes melting chocolate tolerable for me. I throw dark chocolate chips into a bag of my nut-based gorp. The chips will melt during the day, but when they cool off I have big ol' chocolatey chunks of gorp to gnaw on. They taste great and help me monitor my gorp consumption, 1 chunk a day.
If I'm hiking someplace with cool nights I can keep chocolate from melting by burying it with most of the rest of my food deep in my pack. Usually my pack has the tarp/bivy/bug shelter at the very bottom, topped off with the stake bag and bear cord. On top of that goes the food bag, and the sleeping bag and more or less clean and dry clothes go on top of that.If chocolate is on the menu for that day, wrap the ziploc bag containing the chocolate with your insulated jacket (or just put it in a pocket).I've been able to carry chocolate, without resorting to exotic brands, for up to two weeks even in hot weather by resorting to such simple tricks. And only suffering from meltdown a few times.On nuts getting old fast. Maybe it is just me, but nuts and dried fruit with a reasonable variety go over very well. Strangely enough, I have more trouble eating trail mix on the first day of the trip, but after that I get real enthusiastic about it. I think variety is the key, but stick pretty closely to a 50/50 split between dried fruit and nuts. I also consider Peanut M&Ms to be, just barely, "nuts". It seems to work out best with about 25 percent peanuts and 15 percent cashews and 10 percent "other nuts" (like peanut M&Ms). Apple Jacks or Cheerios japanese rice crackers, or wasabi peas (I guess those would qualify as dried fruit) in tiny quantities also help out trail mix.
Ehhh...in regards to wrapping chocolate in my insulation layer, I think I'd be much too worried about potential leakge if melting were to occur. I don't doubt that you're able to pull it off successfully, but I don't exactly have the best track record with spillable consumbales. The last thing I'd like to find when emptying my pack for the evening is a chocolate flavored micropuff pullover! On the other hand, your idea could be translated into something a bit more accident proof, such as wrapping the chocolate in a bit of aluminum foil to keep it insulated. I think it might just work. Thanks a lot, -Dave:)
Actually, I always have something potentially messy like that in pretty redundant containers. Aluminum foil plus a ziplock is pretty good. Doubled ziplock sandwich bags in also good. Cellophane plus a ziplock sandwich back is good too (and what I use for carrots and other fresh vegetables).
In the morning I place the food that I will eat during the day in a mylar potato chip bag and store it in a mesh pocket on the outside of my pack. The mylar (it may not be mylar but rather a foil/plastic) blocks 100% of the UV light and keeps my chocolate from melting except under the most extreme conditions. The number of items that I buy at the supermarket for their packaging rather than the contents continues to grow, much to my wife's dismay!
That's a good idea, Casey. I've never washed a chip bag before--do they clean up well? :) I imagine those metallic-ish popcorn bags could have the same effect, but maybe with less filmy grease to start.-Mark
Casey - I never would have thought of a chipbag in that way either. I'm going to do a few tests, and see how this works. Combined with a bit of foil wrapping, this may be the ideal way to carry chocolate over long distances. Thanks again, -Dave:)And for anyone who is interested or has been following this post, my calculations on the cal/oz value of the powdered soymilk was incorrect. It is 122 cal/oz, rather than 200 cal/oz......
Mark,Chip bags clean up nicely with soapy water so buy whatever you want to eat. However, it is often hard to tell from the outside if the bag is mylar on the inside. I currently have a 12 oz Archer Farms Market Tomato and Basil Potato Chip bag from Target.Casey

Some of you may know Budgie from Brutal Legend. Others may know budgies from Metallica's mehtastic covers of their songs. But for those who may not know much, Budgie is a metal band from Wales. From their "Good Years" being 1971-1975, they were amongst the heaviest around. The guitarist, Tony Bourge, was on par with the legendary Tony Iommi. They received some following in their native Britain, but never gained much attention in the US. Now, I'm on a mission to spread the greatness of Budgie around. Here are some of their best songs, in my opinion:

A single vehicle rollover accident on 9 Mile Canyon Road on Thursday morning left two men injured, one seriously, according to the Carbon County Sheriff's Office.
A white Ford F-350 was traveling northbound on 9 Mile Canyon Road toward Peter's Point around 8:50 a.m. when the truck went off the road, colliding with rocks and going airborne for 50 feet before rolling over, ending back in the middle of the road near mile post 41, according to Lieutenant Tory Christiansen.
Two male passengers, a 20-year-old driver and a 27-year-old passenger, both of Price, were in the vehicle during the accident. The passenger was ejected from the vehicle, suffering back injuries and a lacerated lung. The driver suffered a minor concussion, according to Christiansen. Both the driver and passenger were not identified. The two men were driving in a truck that belongs to Thermal Pro Installation, a Price-based company.
Due to the severity of the accident and the injuries sustained by the occupants, both men were transported by Air Med to Utah Medical Center and Utah Valley Medical Center.
According to the police report, the driver allegedly said he couldn't remember what took place before the accident. Speed and driving under the influence are not suspected in the accident and no citations have been issued, Christiansen said.
