Quote: "No, I won't pay debt with a currency that's not backed by gold and silver!" (3:34)
A core sovereign-citizen belief is that when the United States went off the gold standard, the government started using citizens as economic collateral—using our future earnings to secure foreign debt in a sort of giant Ponzi scheme. In this theory, you exist as a regular flesh-and-blood person, but there is also your "corporate shell" (often referred to as "the straw man"), which exists merely on paper and is created when you sign up for a Social Security card.

Berlin residents want zoning changes to allow raising hens for eggs
Lipari envisions that the new policy would limit the number of hens depending on lot size (no more than 4 to 5 hens, no roosters), make the eggs for personal use only, and register hens much like cats or dogs.

Chelsea community welcomes new caregivers
The metaphorical passing of the baton at the Chelsea Health Center Thursday afternoon was reminiscent of the perfect race. There was unparalleled effort, emotion and cheers of support.
On Thursday Chelsea welcomed new caregivers Dr. Amanda Hepler and Rebecca Savidge, both family medicine providers, and said goodbye to Dr. Brian Sargent and physician assistant Starr Strong.
Dr. Sargent is transitioning to full-time Emergency Department work, something that will allow him more time for sugaring, pruning apple trees and deer hunting, he said.
Strong is retiring after 21 years.
Community-owned, the health center is part of Gifford Health Care. Gifford Medicine Division Medical Director, and former Chelsea doctor, Josh Plavin introduced the outgoing and incoming teams.
Dr. Hepler comes to Chelsea from New Hampshire and, before that, a very rural practice in Maine. She was looking to find that again and has in Chelsea. "It's been great so far. Everyone's been very welcoming," said the warm hearted Dr. Hepler.
"I think you grew up in this clinic," Dr. Plavin said of Savidge.
"With Dr. Plavin," she replied, indicating he was her caregiver.
"Which is not making me feel old at all," he said.
Savidge practiced in Plainfield before coming home to Chelsea. "I appreciate the community letting me come back to the community as a provider," she said to the standing room only crowd gathered in the health center's waiting room.
Savidge thanked Dr. Sargent and Strong for building such an outstanding clinic and acknowledged that she and Dr. Hepler had some big shoes to fill.
"I want to thank you all for trusting me with your care. Like Amanda, I've felt very welcome," said Dr. Sargent who has practiced in Chelsea for five years.
But even for Dr. Sargent, the day was about Strong. "She's (Strong has) been a joy to work with and a good friend. You won't find a more compassionate person on the planet," he said.
"Starr taught me about community," Dr. Plavin added. "Starr taught me about relationships, as well as medicine, and is really the rock that has been the continuous presence all of this time. Starr is the Chelsea Health Center."
Her patients who were present – and there were many – agreed.
"She's been my doctor forever," said Roger Sargent, a Tunbridge resident who has already transitioned his care to Dr. Hepler and Savidge. "I think she (Strong) has a nice lady taking her place, two of them."
Virginia Button embraced Strong and didn't let go.
"I've been with Starr since she's been at the health center," she said, tearing up. "It's like you've lost part of your life."
But Button was optimistic.
"I'm sure the two that are here will fill her shoes," she said, "eventually."
Ernest Kennedy gave Strong three hugs. One for himself, one for his wife and one for his daughter, the late Judy Alexander, Strong's dear friend and a former nurse at the Chelsea Health Center who passed away Sunday and whose loss was felt at Thursday's gathering.
Kennedy was there to offer his support for Strong, who moved into Alexander's home during a final days to provide constant vigil, but he wasn't exactly supportive of Strong's decision to retire. "She's not old enough, and we need her."
Strong disagreed, but not before expressing her thanks for the community's support.
"I can't tell you how rich I feel. I'm more grateful than I can tell you. The relationships we have when we go in and sit down and close the (exam room) door; that is a sacred spot."
She is finally able to step away from those relationships, she says, because she is leaving her patients in the "graceful, beautiful and knowledgeable hands" of Dr. Hepler and Savidge. "It gives me joy in my heart rather than sadness in my soul," Strong said.

I was experimenting on writing plugins with Groovy. FUN! It worked out quite well, and I think it could be quite useful. I 'd rather write future plugins with Groovy, or at least have the option. Of course, as demonstrated, it can be done even now, but with a cost: you need to embed groovy to your plugin, which is clumsy and makes the jar quite large. Solution would be embed groovy runtime dependency to PMS.
Groovy embedded version of PMS: https://github.com/glebb/ps3mediaserver ... y_embedded. It should be ok to be merged if so wanted.
I think adding Groovy should not be a big problem. It will increase the size of the PMS, but other than that I don't see many negative side effects. I don't think PMS itself should be modified / written in Groovy, but (us) plugin developers might like it.
Here's the plugin written in Groovy: https://github.com/glebb/pms-osx-smartfolder for example.

News 12 at 11o'clock / Monday, Nov. 26, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- They know it won't be easy. They're even expecting some resistance. But they're hoping through the transition, people will look at the bigger picture.
"The big picture is to reduce crime and to make everybody in Richmond County feel safer," said newly-appointed Deputy Chief Patrick Clayton.
But after more than 11 years with the same sheriff and more than 20 years with the same chief deputy, he knows change will not come easy.
"We do anticipate some resistance initially, but I think pretty quickly people will buy into the changes that we're implementing and we'll move forward," Chief Clayton said.
Sheriff -Elect Richard Roundtree says he hopes the positive attitude about moving forward starts within the Sheriff's Office.
"We want the deputies to buy into my philosophy that, you know, we're going to be community-oriented. We're going to be service-oriented. We're going to be problem-solvers for the community, and once we get the office into it, I think the citizens are going to get involved into it, and it's just going to be a domino effect," he said.
He says establishing community policing is one of the biggest changes he hopes to make, but Chief Clayton says with that philosophy, it might seem to get worse before gets better.
"Most of the places that have come up with community policing philosophies and community oriented policing, one of the things they find is crime rises initially because of the fact that many crimes go unreported," he said.
Community policing isn't the only big idea these two have.
"We're going to have Reserve Deputy programs, we're going to have a Citizens Volunteer Bureau, which citizens can go through a citizen's Police Academy. We'll have one for a citizens' Emergency Response Team. We're going to start an explorer program," Roundtree said.
They say doing all that is going to take everyone's support.
"We are not the smartest people in the room, but I guarantee you if we use the 755 men and women at the Sheriff's Department over there, we can come up with the right answers," Clayton said.
If you haven't seen Roundtree around lately, that's because he's in Forsyth in sheriff-elect school. He says that's why he wanted to go ahead and appoint Clayton so they could get to work.
News 12 asked if Cpt. Scott Peebles was considered for the position.
All Roundtree would say was that wouldn't be part of our conversation.

Charles Hawkins, 83, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Monday, October 8th. Funeral services will be at First United Methodist Church in Healdton, Monday October 15, 2012, at 1:30 p.m. under direction of Don Grantham Funeral Home. Interment will be in the Duncan (Okla.) Cemetery.
All visitation will be at the Grantham Velma Chapel on Sunday, and the family will be there from 4 -5 p.m. to receive friends.
Charles Bartow Hawkins, Jr. was born in 1928, in Muskogee, Oklahoma, to Charles and Norma. He married Bonnie Jean Redick on September 4, 1976, in Duncan. She preceded him in death in 2009.
Charles graduated from Muskogee High School in 1946, and entered the United States Army. He served in the 82nd Airborne Division, and after his military service, he entered junior college and started his career with Skelly Oil Company (later Getty Oil Company). His 36 year career with Skelly began in Tulsa, and his career stops along the way included Eunice, New Mexico, Velma, Oklahoma, and then Pampa, Texas, where he retired as Plant Superintendent in 1983. Upon retirement, Charles and Bonnie settled in at the "Bar Jean Ranch" in Healdton.
Charles was a very active member of the First United Methodist Church, where he sang in the choir, served as a liturgist and volunteered for the Homebound Communion Ministry. He also enjoyed serving as an auxiliary volunteer for the Healdton Hospital for many years with Bonnie, and his sister, Nancy.
Charles was deadly accurate with a croquet mallet, and he was known to burst into song at a moment's notice in any setting. He could melt your heart with a warm smile like no other, and the gentle utterance of "God bless you." He touched countless people in his life, and will be dearly missed.
Charles was blessed with and is survived by his daughter, Charla Gordon, who very recently lost her husband, Cliff Gordon. He was also blessed with and is survived by a son by marriage, Robert "Bob"Redick and wife, June, of Upland California; three grandchildren, Jason Gordon and wife, Emily, Scott Gordon and wife, Karen, all of Iowa, and K.C. Costello and husband, Keegan, of California; and five great grandchildren, Broderick, Addison, Luke and Levi Gordon, and Darby Costello. He is also survived by two sisters, Norma Anderson of Muskogee, and Nancy Poteet of Healdton; and numerous nieces and nephews
Online condolence can be sent to the family at www.granthamfuneralhomes.com.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's soccer team will christen the newly constructed Dr. Jack Dugan Family Soccer & Track Stadium on Aug. 23, with the program's inaugural match. The Islanders will play host to the University of Houston, with the contest slated to begin at 5 p.m.
"August 23 is going to be a tremendous evening for our program, for Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and for the Corpus Christi community," head coach Shanna Caldwell said. "To be able to play our first game in such an amazing facility, in front of what we expect to be a great crowd – it's just going to be a special night. It can't get here fast enough."
The event will be the grand opening of the facility, which is quickly nearing completion. Located on the Momentum Campus on Nile Drive, the Dugan Family Soccer & Track Stadium is one of the premier soccer and track facilities in the area, with permanent seating for nearly 800 fans and the ability to accommodate over 1,000 overall. The facility will be the permanent home for both the soccer program and the Islanders Track & Field program, which has an on-campus practice and competition facility for the first time.
The remainder of the Islanders Soccer schedule will be released in the coming weeks.
Caldwell and assistant coaches Lauren Molinaro and Samantha Larson have signed 22 student-athletes for the program's inaugural season. Sixteen freshmen have signed on with the team in addition to six transfers (two sophomores, three juniors, one senior) to comprise the first Islanders Soccer team at this point.
For all the latest on Islanders Soccer leading up to the opening kick, be sure to follow the team on Twitter (@IslandersSoccer) and Facebook (IslandersSoccer) as well as checking in with GoIslanders.com.

The state's first approval of new injection well sites in nearly a year will allow two more in Washington County.
A pair of sites in Newport Township - one a new well and the other a conversion of an existing oil and gas well - were among four permits granted last week by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources' Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management. Approval of applications had been on hold while the state studied an earthquake in the Youngstown area linked to the practice of disposing of millions of gallons of chemical-laced wastewater from the hydraulic fracturing process by injecting it into wells deep underground.
New regulations are meant to address those and other concerns, including a prohibition against drilling into Precambrian basement rock and granting the division authority to require seismic surveying and monitoring.
Heidi Hetzel-Evans, communications manager with the division, said the U.S. EPA has determined class 2 injection wells like the ones approved are "the safest and most environmentally responsible method of disposal."
Both of the proposed Newport Township wells will be more than 7,500 feet deep.
"They are designed to entomb this water permanently," Hetzel-Evans said.
Fact Box
What's ahead
Potential new injection wells in the area:
Newport Township, OOGC Disposal Company.
Newport Township, GreenHunter Water.
Noble Township (Noble County), SES Assets.
Marion Township (Morgan County), Broad Street Services LLC.
Sharon Township (Noble County), Northwood Energy Corp.
Source: Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
They both can accept only saltwater from oil and gas operations, which can be mixed with chemicals, or standard well treatment fluid. Both permit holders have agreed to seismic monitoring at the sites.
Some people are concerned about the impact the practice could have on the environment. A group of protesters on Monday attempted to block the entrance to an injection well in Athens County; they dispersed when asked to by law enforcement.
Newport resident Charles Bartrug, 74, said the new well would be located on Washington County 244 between Newport and Milltown, about half a mile from his home.
"When they pump that back into the ground, it's pumped under pressure. And I'm afraid it might spread to our water system," he said.
The precise location of the converted well was not immediately available.
Hetzel-Evans said the EPA gave the state authority over injection well disposal matters in 1983. Since then there have been no cases of groundwater contamination related to the process, which Bartrug said provides some comfort to him.
The new regulations require each injection well to be equipped with a shut-off switch if maximum injection pressure is exceeded. And wells are inspected, on average, every 10 to 11 weeks, even though federal requirements only mandate one inspection a year, Hetzel-Evans said.
Newport Township Trustee Rodney King said there are already a handful of other wells in the township and he's not concerned about new ones.
"I think they've checked it out pretty good," he said of state regulators. "I think it's safe."
It's not known how soon the wells might be constructed. An employee of Ohio Oil Gathering Corp., which would build the new one, said he isn't sure if or when drilling might take place, due to the delay in the approval process. A call to Texas-based GreenHunter Water, which received the permit to convert the existing well, was not returned Tuesday.
The division is considering 30 other permit applications from around the state, including two in Noble County and one in Morgan County.

BARBOURVILLE, Ky. - Union head coach Tommy Reid recently announced the 2013 Bulldog football schedule, which features six home dates and 11 contests overall.
The Bulldogs will play nine games against Mid-South Conference opponents with six coming against MSC East rivals. The two non-conference dates are against Webber International (Fla.) and UVa-Wise, which is now transitioning to NCAA Division II.
With UVa-Wise leaving the NAIA and the Mid-South, the divisions were reshuffled once again. Bluefield (Va.) and Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) move over to the MSC East, joining Union, Cumberlands (Ky.), Georgetown (Ky.), Kentucky Christian and Pikeville (Ky.) in the seven-team division. The MSC West now consists of Belhaven (Miss.), Bethel (Tenn.), Campbellsville (Ky.), Cumberland (Tenn.), Faulkner (Ala.) and MSC-newcomer Reinhardt (Ga.).
Union will open the season on Aug. 31 at Cumberlands at 1:30 p.m. Not only is this a MSC East showdown, it is also the Battle for the Brass Lantern. The Bulldogs will look to bring the Lantern back to Barbourville after the Patriots reclaimed the traveling trophy last season.
After an open week, Union will play back-to-back home games with Faulkner coming to Burch/Nau Field on Sept. 14 and Webber International on Sept. 21. The Bulldogs will a 6 p.m. contest on Sept. 28 at UVa-Wise before returning home on Oct. 5 to play host to Reinhardt.
The next two weeks will be spent on the road as Union visits Cumberland on Oct. 12 and Bluefield on Oct. 19. The Bulldogs will then enjoy a three-game home stand with Kentucky Christian (Oct. 26), Lindsey Wilson (Nov. 2) and Georgetown (Nov. 9) visiting Barbourville. Union closes out the regular season on Nov. 16 at Pikeville.
The Bulldogs went 4-7 overall and 1-4 in MSC East play in 2012.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the WIP face. I wound up sitting there for about 5 minutes thinking, "Well, damn. I have to mush this around now. . . But it looks so nice. . ." I'll see if I can bring that sort of element back in to future things.
There are a couple highlights scattered around, but I think I made them way too tiny and definitely not strong enough. Looking at it again, I think I was getting too comfortable at that extreme zoom, so something "large" in there was actually pretty miniscule in reality. See: Top of his chest crest highlight. I'll keep it noted for the future, as I think I want to move on from this guy for now (he's gotten pretty much 90% of my attention these past few nights), though.
I'll have to find some good references of secondary/diffused light and how it works on objects. I admit, I think it's a trend in literally everything I've ever drawn that there's a singular light direction. I could definitely use that practice, now that you mention it.
Thank you, as always! :)

Thank you for such a great app!
What im missing is to controll the audio sync output. if i look at a movie from the start audio and image is synced. but if i jump into the middle of a movie the sync is off. I'd like to be able to adjust for this when it does occur.
Also it would be good to adjust for delays due to how one has connected all ones cables to the home audio system.
If it were like the jump to function but instead adjusting the audio back or fort in miliseconds.
Since its not a permanent delay i'd like it to be controlled from the ps3 if possible at all, so i dont have to run through the house to the pc and fix it there.
I have no skills in programming so i have no idea of how big of deal this would be to solve. How ever it would really ad value to the entire app in my opinion =)

Hi all,
I'm writing a plugin which should take an mp3 file from a network source (like a web server) and then just stream it (much likesoundcloud etc.). The problem is that i can't use the WebStream class since I need to do a post to the url in order to trigger the download. I created a class which can download the mp3 file. If I save it as a file and then replay it everything is fine. If i try to stream it nothing works. What should i return in the getInput stream? I've tried all sorts of various Stream classes but everything ends up with the render just saying playback not possible (rather quick).

The next important thing is to get out there as your "new self" and visit other people. Comment on their blogs, let them know you switched places, and they should stop by if they get a chance. Twitter and FB are also fabulous ways to spread the word.
All in all, I realize it will take time to build back up again. Still, I just passed 100 followers and I only started it the last week in November. I am thankful that so many have come to follow me in my new spot. I'm lucky to have met such wonderful people in the blogosphere.
- Because I love it! I love blogging, and now it's even better because I have something to blog about.
- I have learned SO MUCH! Education, Inspiration and Motivation.
- The PEOPLE! Yeah, we just got over the mushy part, but I love interacting with everyone each day. I love hearing how they're doing and seeing what they have to share.
Thanks for being here, Leigh. I'm feelin' the love! *Group hug*

PEBBLE BEACH -- Phil Mickelson will begin defense of his AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am title Thursday at 9:50 a.m. on the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula Country Club.
Because he is starting at MPCC, Mickelson, whose amateur partner is banker Skip McGee, will play Pebble Beach Golf Links on Saturday, annually known as celebrity day on the famed links.
Other featured first round pairings at MPCC include 2009 and 2010 Pro-Am winner Dustin Johnson and amateur partner Wayne Gretzky, 2011 Pro-Am winners D.A. Points and Bill Murray and Jason Day and 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh.
Webb Simpson, who won last year's U.S. Open at The Olympic Club, will also open at MPCC with actor/partner Andy Garcia.
Those opening at Spyglass Hill, normally considered the toughest of the three tournament venues, include 2006 U.S. Open winner Geoff Ogilvy, Jim Furyk and three-time major winner Padraig Harrington.
At Pebble Beach, Lee Westwood, playing in the AT&T Pro-Am for the first time since 2005, will tee it up with former Pro-Am champ Vijay Singh. Westwood's amateur partner is his father, John.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who's a member at nearby Cypress Point Club and is making her tournament debut, will also open at Pebble Beach with pro partner Jason Bohn.
Harrington, however, said he won't be wearing them at this week's Pro-Am.
"There will be no glasses," Harrington said.
At last week's Phoenix Open, the Irishman explained how it's been a task to find the right pair.
"They've managed all the way through my practice round up until I started hitting wedges on the range, and I could have been sowing potatoes after a while in the divots I was taking," Harrington said. "I don't know if those glasses will make it."
In the offseason, Harrington began working with an eye specialist.
"It's kind of the way these days, you know, you're looking for specialists in every area of the game, whether it's short game specialists, putting, long game coach, psychology, everything is par for the modern game, and this is just another little addition," Harrington said. "We'll wait and see how it goes."
The event, to be held on holes No. 1, 2, 3, 17 and 18 at Pebble Beach, begins at 11 a.m.
George Lopez is not playing in the tournament this year. Lopez is expected to possibly return next year.

Ford Escort, Fiesta, Sierra, Mondeo, P100, 1.8 Diesel/Turbo diesel Camshaft Belt / Fuel Injection Pump Belt Common Causes of Failure
Filed Under (Ford) by admin on 05-06-2011
Common causes of camshaft timing belt failure on the above vehicles are due to incorrect operating tension, or ingress of dirt, water, or debris entering the timing belt cover. Predominantly on Fiesta models a high percentage of camshaft timing belt failures occur after the ancillary poly 'V' drive belt has failed, where strands of material off the broken belt have entered the timing belt cover. This is especially so where an ancillary belt has been fitted that does not contain "Kevlar" based materials. It is therefore important to always remove the timing belt cover to check for belt debris if the ancillary belt has failed. Any contamination that enters the timing belt cover can become compressed between the surfaces of the camshaft timing belt and drive pulleys. This causes wear to both the belt teeth, backing surface, and damage to the drive pulleys, resulting in premature failure of the camshaft timing belt. Later engines have modifications to improve the sealing of the belt cover around the crankshaft pulley, to reduce the level of outside contamination. Incorrect tensioning of the belt during installation will adversely affect the life of the belt. Before fitting a new belt it is important to check and observe the following points :- 1) Right Hand Inner Wing Splash Shield (Fiesta, Escort, Mondeo) This must be fitted and undamaged. 2) Timing Belt Cover Check that all components of the cover are fitted and undamaged. Ensure the latest type of modified cover is fitted. 3) a) Toothed Drive Pulleys Check that the tooth profiles are not worn or damaged. On vehicles built before January 1994 special attention should be given to the nylon toothed pulley situated below the camshaft pulley in a clockwise position on the belt drive (see diag item 4). This should be changed to a modified steel pulley (Ford No. 7053802) plus bolt (6701537). Ensure that the Camshaft and Injection Pump sprockets are free to rotate on the drive locations when the retaining bolts are slackened off. b) 4) a) b) c) Water Pump, Idler and Tensioner Pulleys Check that the belt running surfaces are not worn or damaged. Check that the flanges are running true and not damaged. Check that the water pump, and pulley bearings are in good condition, to ensure correct belt alignment. 5) Crankshaft Pulley The toothed pulley is in two parts. The rear section (Injection Pump Drive) is located onto the crankshaft by a small drive pin. The front section (Camshaft and "Poly V" belt drive) engages onto the rear pulley via a small vee protrusion on the rear face. Should the central fixing bolt for the crankshaft pulley come loose, or an old bolt re-used (Stretch bolt design), it is possible for fretting to take place damaging the locations. The crankshaft and camshaft pulleys can then move out of timing alignment, resulting in valve and piston contact damage. Replacement Procedure As the vehicle is fitted with two timing belts, one to drive the Camshaft, and one to drive the Injection Pump drives, which are driven off the crankshaft pulley, it is strongly recommended that both belts are replaced at the same time. NOTE: Special tools are required to lock the crankshaft, camshaft, and injection pump in the correct angular location when changing the belts, to ensure correct timing position. IMPORTANT: Ensure the engine is cold (not run for 4 hours) before commencing working as this will affect the setting of the timing belt tension and could lead to premature failure.

Abdominal Hernia
(Abdominal hernia; Incisional hernia; Spigelian hernia; Epigastric hernia)
Definition | Causes | Risk Factors | Symptoms | Diagnosis | Treatment | Surgery | Prevention
An abdominal hernia occurs when soft tissue has pushed through the abdominal wall. A ventral hernia is a hernia that develops in the front of the abdomen. Types of ventral hernias include:
- Incisional hernia—develops along a previous surgical incision
- Epigastric hernia—develops along the upper abdominal wall below the chest
- Spigelian hernia—develops along the side of the abdominal wall (rare)
Some hernias may not need treatment. Others can require surgery. Some hernias can be serious and require medical attention right away.
Ventral Hernia
The abdominal wall covers the front of the body from the ribs to the pelvis. It normally keeps abdominal tissue in place. When this wall tears or weakens, tissue pushes out. This creates a hernia. The tissue pushed through can be loops of intestine, fat, or other tissue. The weakness may be caused by:
- Increased abdominal pressure
- Surgery or injury to abdomen
Weak spots may be present at birth. Others may develop later in life from general weakness, injury, or from surgery.
Risk Factors
Older adults are at increased risk.
Factors that may increase your risk for ventral hernia include:
- Heavy lifting
- Coughing
- Straining during bowel movements
- Excess body weight
- Previous abdominal surgery
- Surgical wound infection
- Pregnancy
Hernias produce a bulge under the skin. It may not cause any other symptoms. Sometimes you may notice pain that increases during the day. Activities that may cause pain include:
- Coughing
- Straining during bowel movements or urination
- Heavy lifting
- Sitting or standing for long periods of time
Sometimes a loop of intestine becomes trapped in the abdominal wall. This may lead to a blockage of the intestine. Strangulation can also occur if the hernia is slowing or blocking blood flow. Symptoms of a strangulated hernia include:
- Continuous, severe pain
- Redness
- Nausea and vomiting
- High fever
- Increased sweating
- Constipation
A strangulated hernia is a medical emergency. It requires immediate surgery.
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Images may be taken of your abdomen and intestines. This can be done with:
- Abdominal ultrasound
- CT scan
Many hernias enlarge over time. A hernia may be easily pushed back in, without causing any symptoms. In this case, your doctor may choose to watch it. Otherwise, surgery is usually performed to fix the weakened area of the abdominal wall.
Hernias are repaired with surgery. During the surgery, the displaced organs are put back into place. The damaged wall is repaired. A piece of mesh may also be placed over the area to provide extra support.
To help reduce your chance of getting a ventral hernia, take these steps:
- Learn proper lifting techniques.
- Maintain a healthy weight.

Stars Sound Off About the Possible Demise of the Twinkie
Stars are weighing in on the possible demise of the Twinkie.
85-year-old Hostess Brands Inc., maker of such sweet snacks as Twinkies and Ding Dongs, today announced that it would go out of business after it was unable to reach agreement on pension and wage cuts with its bakers' union.
From New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to actor Elijah Wood, some notable names weighed in on the end of Hostess. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, the fate of Hostess's 30 brands probably will be in the hands of bankers and liquidators.
Hostess CEO Gregory Rayburn told CNBC today that the company will try to sell its famous brands. "I'm certainly hopeful we can sell the brands and that the brands can live on," Rayburn said. "They are iconic."
Here's what some stars had to say on Twitter:

Eating Whale Blubber in Greenland: Politely Partake or Politically Pass Up?
Throughout human history, the sharing and exchange of local food between people of different cultures has cemented social bonds and sealed agreements. Feasts often brought people from far-off places and varying ways of life together.
Today, whether you're in a friend's home or visiting a foreign land, partaking of your host's served meal is considered polite — or, at least, that's what I have been taught. So, when I recently traveled to Greenland and visited an Inuit community, I happily agreed to taste the traditional foods offered, including raw whale blubber, dried cod and simmered seal stew.
Wanting to share my adventure with friends, I posted a photo of myself eating the uncooked blubber on a social media site. To my surprise, I was met with strong disapproval by an acquaintance who works at an environmental organization.
When traveling, should you indulge in the traditional foods offered, even though eating them may not be "politically correct" in your own country?

Four days down, many more ahead!
I have almost completed my first week of training for the 86-mile Tour de Cure... and man does my butt hurt! In four days, I have spent about 5 hours on my bike riding approximately 100 miles. I just have one question: Why don't they make a seat, or "saddle" as cyclists call it (I'm learning!) that doesn't make you feel as though you've been sitting atop a flagpole for days? I've been told I'll gain a tolerance to the discomfort and won't notice it after a while, but I'll believe it when I see it (or feel it, as the case may be).
Aside from not being able to sit down, I am loving the challenge of getting in shape for the Tour de Cure. The coaches at Carmichael Training Systems have been AMAZING! I was a really intimidated when I walked through the doors on Monday. After all, the best of the best train at Carmichael's. But I quickly found out, those who want to BE their best train there too... and the coaches are committed to helping the athletes achieve their goals. Everybody is so attentive to the athletes who walk in the building making sure they have EVERYTHING they need to be successful. They take care of everything from setting up bike for training to getting you fluids (water or sports drinks) while your working out. And the best part, they do it all with a smile and encouraging words. I truly have felt like a pro athlete at Carmichael Training Systems during my first week, even though I am clearly the most inexperienced rider in the building. I look forward to going there every morning!
Here is quick look at what I did this week:
MONDAY - Performed a "field test" where my coach, Ryan, put me through a couple of rigorous eight-minute rides to test where my fitness level. By the end of the ride, I was totally spent! The results help plan out my training schedule so I train properly.
TUESDAY - Rode a lei surly 60-minute recovery ride. Low intensity, but at a good speed. It felt good, although I have found out riding indoors can be a "mental" challenge
WEDNESDAY - I couldn't make it in to CTS because my 3-year-old son was sick. So I rode for 60 minutes at home on my spin bike in my basement.
THURSDAY - I went to CTS at 6am (after anchoring the 10:00 news, and going to bed at 12 midnight and getting up at 5am) to participate in a spinning cl5ass. The coaches put us through and hour of what amounted to hill climbs to help train our bodies to ride at a consistently high speed. I was exhausted when I walked out at 7am, but it felt GREAT! The class was fun. There were some GREAT riders that I watched to see how the "pros" do it. Very impressive! Maybe someday, somebody will say the same thing about me??? :) Maybe not!
FRIDAY - OFF DAY! Time to recover
SATURDAY - I have a 90 minute, 25-mile ride planned at the Air Force Academy
SUNDAY - Another 60-minute, lei surly recovery ride planned.
I will keep you updated on my progress right here on this blog. I'd love to have you ride with me in the Tour de Cure to help raise money for the American Diabetes Association. If you sign up on my team (KKTV Sports), the ADA will waive the $15.00 registration fee (code: KKTV)... you can sign up for any of the three races as a member of the KKTV Sports team. If riding is not your cup of tea, and you still want to help, I would love for you to sponsor me with a donation to the ADA! Together we can make a difference.
You can sign up for my team, or sponsor my ride by logging onto http://main.diabetes.org/site/TR?pg=personal&fr_id=7690&px=6494069.
If you have any questions, please email me at
Until next time, BOTTOMS UP! Cuz I can't sit down! firstname.lastname@example.com

CASTRO VALLEY -- An Alameda County Sheriff's deputy suffered minor injuries after his patrol car was sideswiped by a suspected drunk driver.
On Friday around 5:04 p.m., 27-year-old San Leandro resident Rigoberto Custodio was driving his 2004 Chevrolet Malibu on State Route 185 just south of 162nd Avenue at an unknown rate of speed, according to a report released by the California Highway Patrol.
On the side of the road, an Alameda County Sheriff's patrol car was parked against the curb, and a deputy was closing the driver's side door when Custodio made an unsafe turn and drifted towards the parked patrol vehicle.
Custodio's Chevy sideswiped the left rear of the patrol car and collided into the still partially-open driver's door, the report said.
The deputy was taken to Eden Hospital and treated for undisclosed minor injuries. Custodio was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and transported to Eden Hospital to be treated for minor injuries before he was released and booked into Santa Rita Jail for DUI and for driving on a suspended license.

When Richmond County students return to school in August, there may be a more relaxed dress code in place.
Board members are discussing whether students can tuck or untuck their shirts.
As parents start school shopping, they'll see more relaxed fits.
Richmond County school board member Helen Minchew says the school system may also be relaxing its dress code policy.
"It's revising to be more in tune as to what the current styles are and still come in the frame work of safety, neatness, and decency," she says.
The recommendation comes after several meetings with administrators, teachers, parents, and students. Proponents of the change say that with a lot of the latest styles, some shirts are made to be worn out, and it's more of a hassle to try to make students put them in.
"From what we heard from the principals, they are just spending a large amount of time writing students up and policing," Minchew says.
"I know that is a problem with some shirts," says parent Patti Scarff. "I think they should a have rule that they shouldn't be all the way down their knees."
But others say keep it tight.
"I may be a little old fashioned," says grandmother Kathy Leverett. "I like the neat look. I like them tucked in."
"Sometimes people just want to tuck it out because it feels comfortable and it's the new fashion," says student DeJanay Richardson.
"Personally, I think they should be tucked in. I think it looks neater," says Jaime Rozsnyai, a teacher in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
If the recommendation passes, administrators plan to regulate untucked shirts by making sure they do not extend beyond the fingertip.
"Again, all of a sudden you might have students thinking they can wear these big oversized T-shirts," Minchew says. "Definitely not."
School board members plan to vote at next Thursday's school board meeting on whether students will be allowed to wear their shirts in or out.
However, Laney High School is the only school that has opted to stick to the stricter dress code policy.

Friday, Jan. 18, 2013
ATLANTA (AP) -- Parts of the Southeast are digging out from a winter storm that dumped snow around the region and played a role in at least one death.
Weather warnings and advisories were issued Thursday for sections of Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.
In Virginia, the areas hardest hit Thursday and Friday are in the southwest, where the National Weather Service says 13 inches were reported in Giles County, while Grayson County and the Galax area received about a foot. The state's western mountains received 6-9 inches while several inches or more were reported in central and eastern Virginia.

The inclusion of ImageMagick for the 'Save for Web' feature was a great idea. Needs X11 to work though. Maybe a screenshot of this would be useful.
Here is a working license that is on the developer's website.
First Name: ForNow
Serial Number: 89xZ9F911Z29D74E35BD84156C5635688CZ
Suggested fot Those that don't want to pay thousands of dollars to edit some pictures.
Easy, small light and almost complete for fast picture editing!
About the CMYK filter: it's the standard filter that comes with CoreImage. The 2.0 value for the size is the one defined in the filter itself. I guess I could ignore the limitation and see what it looks like, but usually the filter's authors knows why he set some limit.
Maybe someone will write another filter that suits your needs better. Any CoreImage filter should work within ChocoFlop. Just add them to your Units folder. There aren't that many companies writing CoreImage units so far but the time will come. Noise Industries released some already.
great work. i use this on a single 1ghz g5 at work and it runs great. i try and run it on an old busted dual 1.25 g4 at home with a garbage video card and it has issues but i run it anyway
<3 the CMYK halftone filter. only goes down to 2 pixels :(
would love to see more in this department. love me some halftones :)
Loving this app right now. Love the maths when saving an image too (just purchased a license, but I don't think I'll use it, I want to keep getting the easy maths problems :D)
This fantastic app gets better with every release - fast, powerful and increasingly stable it has now reached the stage of being sufficient for almost all my image-editing needs.
As I rule I am against buying licenses for unfinished alpha or beta software but I gladly paid up for ChocoFlop because I really want to see development continue. This is shaping up to become the best-in-class image app on the Mac.
Looking very promising. I'm looking for a good substitute for Pixen. And ChocoFlop is getting closer and closer to become something really useable in terms of becoming a decent pixel art app!
Huge promise. Exactly what is needed, a light fast image processor that does 60% of what Photoshop will do in 5% the time. Hope development continues, it gets more stable and get gets substantial adoption.
Donate now....
The speed is awesome, but it's rather buggy, and the interface needs a LOT of work. I do keep it around for those things that I don't want to launch Photoshop for, as I can usually launch this, process a few files, and be done with it before PS even loads.

Clean Sweep
River sweep helps keep river beautiful
June 11, 2013
One of the most wonderful—and important—traditions in our valley is the annual Ohio River Sweep....
This is truly a worthy effort and our communities will be better for it. However, our rivers should be viewed as treasures to the MOV, but unfortunately they have been under appreciated by both elected leaders in their utilization and in how many of our fellow citizens shamelessly continue to trash them not too unlike a garbage dump.

TSD Tactical .25g 3000ct High Polish BBs Black
$ 9.99
TSD Tactical .25g 3000ct High Polish BBs Black - Quantity:
Registered User Login:
- goodThese are very high quality BB's they will almost never jam, they will make your gun fire at an extra 20 to 30 fps and they will never curve. Although these are great BB's the fact that they are black makes them very hard to see so you won't really know where your BB's are going and how to adjust. So I would recommend that you get the white ones they are exactly the same but white. I hope this helped.
- AmazingThese BB's are great! The extra weight over the .2 gram gives higher powered guns great accuracy and still packs a punch. A good deal for 3000 of these guys. Have not had a misfeed or a jam yet, so buy these up!
- bbsThese bbs are really good. They are very accurate and are not low quality --- these bbs are a must buy!!!
- Perfect for AEG's and your Sniper RifleThese BB's are all you need. They're the perfect weight for accuracy and their pain factor is definitely there. When they're put in a MK96 Sniper Rifle(The actual Rifle name is AWSM or Artic Warfare Super Magnum. It's a magnum because it fires the .338 Lapua round.) Any who, it has the ability to reach far and leave its mark. In a good quality gun (Mine is the Stag Arms Mod-15) it has long range and great penetration power. I tried it on a 5 inch piece of Styrofoam and it went in about 2.5 inches so there is huge pain factor there.
All and all there are good BB's for a good price a huge recommendation for all airsofters.
- Depends on the SituationThese bbs are really accurate. However, they are black. This makes them nearly impossible to see once they are airborne. Because of this I can almost never see where I'm shooting during target practice. So, if you want to practice/test your gun, buy white bbs instead. These black ones are great for wars though, because your enemies can't see them coming, and thus, can't very well dodge them.
-Good for wars
-Bad for target practice
- greatthese bbs are great.... anyway, they never jam, they have no seams, and they are very slick. also blacks are way better than whites. i have 15000 of these in black and 5000 in white. i use the whites to adjust hop up and stuff but i never use them in games because people can just dodge them or see exactly where they came from... these are a must buy for any air-soft player
happy hunting :-)
- amazini love these BB's. i got them today and i'm already down about a hundred cuz i was having so much fun. i like the black because it's different from the standard white and because you can't see them. when they fly people don't know where they are coming from and can't avoid them. while i feel like i'm shooting a real gun when you really wouldn't be able to see the projectile. all in all i love these and they make my gun a lot more accurate.
definitely think that people should buy these. fun. accurate. high performance and different from the standard white.
- bestVery high quality bbs. Very good deal... I love this company!!! I won't buy from anyone else.
- Nice qualitywell, they are nice and smooth all around. no seams or nothing, and they are a good weight for most gas guns. i always use these black bbs for games but they make it hard to see where you're landing if you practice shooting or scoping in a sniper rifle.
- Perfect for your AEGI have the Stag-Arms Mod-15 and I got these BB's for Christmas. I soon realized that BB's in the right weapon could do some serious damage. If anything these are meant for pain and accuracy. You might need to upgrade a bit to get a better distance unless you don't need to reach a great distance. The price is alright for a 3000 count bag, but I just wish they could be a little cheaper.
