Question: Undescended Testicle
|S. HUSSAIN - Fri Jan 16, 2004 12:32 pm
Share |
Dear Sirs;
Good day. First we would like to introduce our deep thanks to you for this service. Our case is for our kid and it could be summarized as follows:-
Our son is of 13 years. Upon his birth in 1991, he has got a right scrotal hernia with undescended testicle. 50 days after his birth we have done the hernia operation for him. The surgeon also lays and extend the testicle to it extreme location but it is still in the inguinal canal and not in the scrotum.
When he was of 3 years old, the urinary tracts surgeon explore his situation and said that the undescended testicle was small in size and his opinion is that the boy did not need further surgery.
When he was of 12 years, the surgeon touch the right testicle in the canal and said that it was moved a little in the direction toward the scrotum but it is still out side it in the canal. The sonar U/S report shows that:
- Left test : normal size ( 14/20/9 mm ), seen in situe.
- Right test : small size ( 7/5/6 mm ), seen in the scrotum but highly up not in siute.
Both show no fluid collection.
CONCLUTION : small right test. not in situe.
The surgeon advice us to continuo explore his situation periodically.
Now, he was of 13 years old, we took for him the sonar U/S report which shows that:
- Right testicle: mal descent " post operative after birth" is seen in the inguinal canal and measured 19 x 7 mm in diameter.
- Left testicle: Normal size and echogenicity and measured
10 x 26 mm in diameter.
The important note best to our knowledge, that the size of the right testicle grows to a considerable measure, and it advanced in the canal toward the scrotum but it is still out side it. The opinion of the surgeon now is to do a surgery operation to download the testicle to the scrotum and he expects that may be it will functionally work like left normal testicle.
We need to know your kind opinion in addition we have some questions as well. Our questions are:
- Is the surgery operation now useful to make the testicle of (19 x 7) mm to work normally in the future?
- Is the surgery consists of one operation only, or it may need more than one operation?
- Other opinion says that it make no difference if you leave it as it with out need to surgery as it is of small size?
Please, it too kind of you and highly appreciated if you could help us and advise us in this subject with our kind regards.

Cryptorchidism [undescended testis] is what we are dealing with here. I find that you have already had your briefings with the urologist, and as such, your queries are on controversial areas in urology.
"Is the surgery operation now useful to make the testicle of (19 x 7) mm to work normally in the future?"
I doubt if you will find straightforward answers to your questions. Nevertheless, I do know that as your urologist suggested, it would be possible that the smaller testicle may function better with another surgery.
"Is the surgery consists of one operation only, or it may need more than one operation?"
As to how many more surgeries would be required, it might depend on the state of the testicle presently and the outcome of the efforts to anchor it.
"Other opinion says that it make no difference if you leave it as it with out need to surgery as it is of small size?"
Infertility and malignancy are two risks of cryptorchidism. Only about 10% of men with history of unilateral cryptorchidism develop infertility, a rate which is similar to that found in other studies in the general population. From this statistics, it can be concluded that leaving the maldescended testis alone would make little difference in terms of infertility.
Surgery is not protective against the development of future malignancy. Periodic exploration, as your doctor suggested, and biopsy of the undescended testis is recommended for early detection and management of cancer. Again, we find that it makes not much difference if we decide to operate knowing well that it will not prevent this risk.
I see that you are facing difficult questions here. The need of the hour is hope and trust in the origin of us all. Whatever we decide upon, we have the best intentions at heart, and whatever the outcome, let us pray for strength to face any consequence of our better intentions.
Praying for the best to come out of the future of your son,
I remain

Russ Wilcox revealed that he was once again delivered two more injury blows before the loss to Chesterfield.Luke O'Neill and Matt Sparrow came into the side for the 4-1 defeat in place of Eddie Nolan and Matt Sparrow respectively, and the Iron manager confirmed it wasn't a tactical change and they are likely to miss the home match with Coventry on Tuesday.
"Bish has a sore foot, his kicking foot, and he did some running on the pitch before the game," Wilcox confirmed to The Iron Player after the match at the Proact Stadium.
"He is okay with that but he has had no ball contact so he has to be a major doubt for Tuesday.
"Eddie Nolan's got discomfort again in his hamstring so he will also be a major doubt. You'd like to make changes when things aren't going well but my hands are tied a bit on that side of things."
An ever-growing injury list has seen numerous long-term and short-term casualties affect Wilcox's selections in the new Sky Bet League One campaign and force him to go into the transfer market in the summer window to fill gaps left by injured players.
Dave Syers, David Mirfin, Deon Burton, James Severn, captain Sam Slocombe and Miles Addison (now back at Bournemouth) are just a few currently hampered with long-term issues.
"They (injuries) aren't helping the situation," Wilcox added.
"We've played around nine games and never put out the same eleven so it's really frustrating on my side of it, it's a massive challenge for me and the group now, we have to go again on Tuesday."

Last night, NASA's multi-billion dollar Cassini–Huygens spacecraft crashed into Saturn. It was a spectacular end to a 20-year mission that has provided invaluable information abut the ringed planet and its moons. Here's what you need to know, along with a stream to the live event.
What is the Cassini spacecraft?
Cassini, or Cassini–Huygens to give it its full title, was an unmanned robotic spacecraft consisting of an orbiter and lander. It was originally sent to Saturn all the way back in 1997, with the lander (Huygens) arriving on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005. For the past 13 years, Cassini had been making passes around the planet and its natural satellites with collected data beamed back to Earth.
The craft and mission were a joint venture between NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency.
What was the point of the mission?
Cassini's chief mission was to help us learn more about Saturn, the sixth planet from the Sun in our Solar System. Specific objectives included determining the three-dimensional structure and dynamic behaviour of the rings of Saturn, studying the composition of the satellite surfaces and the geological history of each object and sampling the composition of Saturn's atmosphere at cloud level.
Why did Cassini crash into Saturn?
After 20 years in orbit, Cassini had almost exhausted its fuel supply. Scientists in charge of the mission made the decision to deliberately crash it into Saturn's atmosphere. Otherwise, the probe could have accidentally collided with one of Saturn's moons and caused potential contamination.
When did Cassini crash into Saturn?
At 6:37pm AEST, Cassini collected data about Saturn's atmosphere as it heads towards the planet's surface. At approximately 9:53pm AEST, the spacecraft will enter the atmosphere at speeds of 120,000 kilometres per hour. It will vaporise within minutes due to the intense conditions with no damage caused to the planet.
How can I watch the event live?
NASA will be streaming live shots from inside the Jet Propulsion Laboratory mission control during Cassini's final moments. You can tune in by clicking on the video at the top of this article.

Fabrication of artificial light-harvesting systems for photosynthetic energy transfer studies
Photosynthesis is the biological process by which light energy is captured and converted into biochemical energy, and it is the primary energy source for the majority of life on Earth. Photosynthetic organisms, including plants, algae and specialised bacteria, contain light-harvesting pigment-protein complexes, which absorb solar energy.
The first stages of photosynthesis involve harvesting solar energy by light-harvesting (LH) antenna complexes, then transfer to a specialized, membrane-bound complex called the reaction centre (RC) where this energy is trapped as a charge separation. However, Photosynthesis uses a limited range of the solar spectrum, so enhancing spectral coverage could improve the efficiency of light capture. Here, we show that a hybrid reaction centre (RC)/yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) complex, which creates new energy transfer pathways that augment energy transfer and trapping in photosynthesis. Thus, photosynthetic growth has been accelerated in the bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

Cohda Wireless has released the first vehicle positioning system that eliminates GPS blackspots in "Urban Canyons" between high-rise buildings.
The V2X-Locate system uses Cohda's expertise in developing collision avoidance systems for mines. The vehicle-based system can identify vehicle position to sub-metre accuracy in environments that degrade GPS accuracy, such as tunnels, underground carparks and between high-rise buildings. As well as enhancing current connected vehicles, V2X-Locate delivers a critical component for Connected Autonomous Vehicles, which will require uninterrupted positioning data to safely navigate on roads.
Although GPS (Global Positioning System) navigation systems have revolutionised transport during the past decade, they can suffer from degraded accuracy in locations with compromised sky views, such as "Urban Canyons" formed by high-rise buildings, underground carparks and tunnels. Cohda has designed V2X-Locate to enable equipped vehicles to identify their location using existing Smart City V2X (Vehicle-to-everything) roadside infrastructure from any standards-based manufacturer.
Adelaide-based Cohda Wireless has already demonstrated the efficacy and accuracy of its V2X-Locate system in a 2017 trial in New York City where it repeatedly demonstrated sub-metre accuracy while driving along Sixth Avenue, which has the tallest buildings in the Big Apple. Comparable GPS-based systems were as much as tens of metres off-course, at times showing cars driving through buildings.
Both Cohda's standard V2X Onboard Units and Roadside Units utilise the NXP RoadLINK chipset, which supports V2X-Locate's highly accurate performance by delivering best-in-class multi-path channel tracking. Click here to know more.

A parent was kicked out of a high school sex education class after a Planned Parenthood representative decided that allowing a parent to be privy to the class goings-on would not be acceptable.
A teacher at Ferndale High School in Washington State sent a letter home to all the parents in November, informing them that his health class would be beginning sex ed class and that several of the lessons would be taught by Whatcom Teen Council members. The letter did not note, however, that Whatcom Teen Council is an arm of Planned Parenthood.
The group describes itself as a "peer education program that equips young people to be effective sexual health educators and social justice advocates in their community," according to its website. It also makes its mission to actively work to build a group that is anti-racist, anti-sexist, and anti-homophobic.
Engaging parents in their children's school life is a promising protective factor, according to research from the Center for Disease Control. "Research shows that parent engagement in schools is closely linked to better student behavior, higher academic achievement, and enhanced social skills," its research posits. "Parent engagement also makes it more likely that children and adolescents will avoid unhealthy behaviors, such as sexual risk behaviors and tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use," the CDC's website adds.

[information week] The world may be in the midst of a global recession, but it isn't impacting the rollout of wireless broadband technologies. The GSM Association reported Wednesday that global carriers are expected to spend about half of the $72 billion they have earmarked for mobile infrastructure capital expenditures on mobile broadband.
North America will spend the largest percentage -- 80% -- of the $19 billion it has slated for mobile broadband, the GSMA said. The Asia Pacific region will spend up to $34 billion and Europe, up to $14 billion. All global regions combined will spend about 52% of operator investment in mobile infrastructure.
"The forecasted investment in mobile broadband technologies reflects the importance the mobile industry places on enabling consumers to access any type of content on the move, whenever they want, wherever they want," said Michael O'Hara, GSMA chief marketing officer, in a statement.
"HSPA and HSPA+ have become the dominant global mobile broadband technologies and are set to benefit from a significant proportion of this CAPEX investment." The GSMA added that global HSPA connections are currently reaching the 200 million mark.
With some 13 million HSPA connections being created each month, the mobile trade association expects the year to end with more than 340 million HSPA connections. Europe will lead the way with 120 connections, followed by Asia Pacific with 116 million, and North America with 58 million.
The world's largest HSPA deployment is Telstra's Next G HSPA+ network, which covers 99% of Australia's population. With current HSPA+ peak network downlink speeds of 21 Mbps, Telstra is aiming higher and is testing 42 Mbps speeds.

MC-IIA Questions
Hi, I am not sure on how to do questions 5.28 and 5.29, and I do not know how to finish 3.27 after putting the 6 red balls in place. Thanks!
For 5.28 try using complementary counting (proceed similar to example 5.8). To count how many ways are there to sum to $200$ with repeated digits consider cases: all numbers repeated and two numbers repeated.
For 5.29, proceed similar to example 5.9. Note $40 = 2^3 \times 5$. So any factor of $40$ is of the form $2^a \times 5^b$. Consider three factors of this form and multiply them so they equal $40$. What can you say about the exponents of the numbers?
For 5.27 pretend for a second that all black cards are identical. How would you proceed? Once you find the answer to the problem pretending all black cards are identical, arrange the black cards in some order and arrange them with the red cards as you did before.

A global manufacturer of cold rollformed sections and profiles will be showcasing its innovative range of fully engineered fencing solutions at Fencex 2020 (Stand 2).
Hadley Group's cold rolled steel fencing systems provide an optimum strength-to-weight ratio ensuring maximum durability, easier handling and faster installation. Designed and manufactured by the market-leading, globally active in-house cold rollform profile design team, Hadley Group's alternative fencing solutions will be showcased at the exhibition.
On display will be Hadley's unique UltraFence system, which the manufacturer claims is the first complete cold rolled engineered palisade fencing system where every component has been specifically designed to optimise strength-to-weight ratio.
This, they say, makes it lighter, stronger and more economical than industry alternatives, and generally quicker to install. The system is made up of three main components; UltraPost, UltraRail and UltraPale to ensure an attractive, robust perimeter fencing solution.
Hadley Group's will also present at Fencex its versatile railing system, UltraBar, a system it has designed for easy erection with pre-assembled panels that bolt into place, with the ability to rake joints.
Finally, Hadley Group will also showcase its UltraSecure system, featuring steel slats fixed between each pale to offer heightened levels of defence and provide an extremely strong and secure perimeter. The security system is available in two forms; solid for applications requiring total privacy, or perforated, where good surveillance of the premises is required.
All of Hadley Group's fencing systems are worldwide patent protected and compliant with British Standards.
Sales manager Adam Lyness said: "Fencex is a unique exhibition where we can really demonstrate our wide range of fencing systems. We can provide fencing solutions for any environment, whether that is for a playground or properties that need high security. With over 50 years' experience, innovation and expertise, we are looking forward to helping visitors to learn more about us and what Hadley Group's fencing solutions can do for them."

The Pub Rock movement of the mid 1970's is often seen as an exciting precursor to punk rock. Certainly, it was an exhilarating grass roots genre of music which reconnected popular music to its rock and roll beginning. Duck De Luxe were one of the leading lights of Pub Rock. Playing more energetic music than most others on the London pub-rock circuit, the Ducks soon had a twice weekly booking at the Tally Ho in Kentish Town, and a manager, Dai Davies.

Ducks De Luxe Biography
This album is precisely what it says, a double-live album recorded at London's 100 Club on July 1, 1975, as Duck Deluxe finally bowed out of the pub rock scene they had done so much to instigate. It's a rough and ready recording made on a basic two-track tape recorder and further embattled by poor sound. But if you want a taste of what made Ducks Deluxe such a great band and an inkling as to why their studio albums never cut the mustard, this album will tell you all you need to know -- and then some.

SAN DIEGO, Calif., Oct 16, 2012 — KFx Medical Corporation announced that the United States District Court ruled all 6 of the 6 disputed claims in favor of KFx in the case of patent infringement that KFx brought against Arthrex.
On August 1, 2011, KFx filed the complaint against Arthrex alleging claims of induced and contributory infringement of United States Patent Number 7,585,311 ("the '311 Patent"). Since that time KFx has been awarded an additional three patents covering knotless double row repair, two of which were added to the suit versus Arthrex (United States Patent Numbers 8,100,942 ("the '942 Patent") and 8,109,969 ("the '969 Patent").
The purpose of a Markman hearing is for the court to determine the meaning and scope of the patent claims that the plaintiff asserts are being infringed. In KFx's lawsuit, the meaning of six terms used in the '311, '942, and '969 patents was contested by Arthrex . In each instance, U.S. District Judge Dana M. Sabraw ruled in KFx's favor regarding how those terms should be properly construed at trial.
"Clearly we are pleased with the results. Our counsel, Joe Jennings and his firm Knobbe Martens simply did a spectacular job in reducing highly complicating technical issues to their most simple and legally correct essence. After considering the briefs, materials, and arguments provided by both parties the Court ruled that the disputed claims will be interpreted in their plain and ordinary meaning and rejected Arthrex's attempt to limit the scope and other interpretations of those claims," indicated Tate Scott, president and CEO. "This confirms the tremendous support by our investors and we will continue to defend our intellectual property. Previously the '311 patent was unsuccessfully challenged by an anonymous third party in an ex-parte re-exam by the United States Patent Office. There, like here, the anonymous party's assertions were completely rejected."
The new AppianFx line of implants from KFx reattach tissue to and in bone in shoulder, knee, foot and ankle procedures which combined exceed well over 1 million annual surgical procedures in the United States. Product offerings include those that directly place and secure tissue into bone both with and without the use of sutures.

In 2007, at the start of my Foodie adventure, I went on my own private U.S. Foodie Tour. I had frequent flier miles left over from my previous corporate gig and I wanted to use them to travel and do something to signify the start of my new interest in food. However, my funds were limited so I had to get creative about where I could go and what would be important to see.
I did some research and discovered that many of the cities that I had a couch to crash on, also had significant food events that were FREE to attend. So, I got out my calendar and mapped out the 6 different "Taste of Insert Your City Here" food and wine events I would be attending. I decided to use these events to see if I really could indeed get a "taste" of each city.
The cities were picked based on nothing more than if I had a friend/relative in each city I could stay with to avoid hotel costs. My plane rides were free, and I had cab fare and eating/drinking money, so I mailed each event asking for a press pass using my Tastebud Magazine Table Hopping credentials. The passes just started rolling in.
I attended the Taste of KC, Taste of Chicago, Taste of Dallas, Bite of Seattle, Taste of Colorado and finally the Taste of St. Louis. I was on the road at least once a month with one of these events from April - September 2007.
I learned so much about myself and food on those trips. I learned what I knew about food and wine, and what I didn't know. That was the most humbling realization and fueled the fire to learn more and push myself further along this path. It is the reason I chose to call this blog - The Making of a Foodie.
The Taste of KC was held at Harrah's last year and was sponsored by The Pitch. It was like an Iron Chef Battle between local hotel and casino chefs, and did little to capture my interest or imagination. However, I did get a chance to meet Eddie Crane, Josh and Abby Jo Eans at the event, the owners of The Drop and Blanc Burgers + Bottles who were providing their excellent food for the event. They really made this event for me, as not much else did.
Next, it was time to get out my suitcase. Before I would step on a plane, I used Chowhound to post and ask local Foodies in each city what I should eat at the festival in order to get a "taste" of their city's food roots or current food scene. The second thing I asked was if they believed I could get a "taste" of their city while attending events called "Taste of . . .", and if not, then what restaurants should I seek out to get a taste of the food their city was built on. I approached these trips like book reports and did my homework before I went.
The answers I received to my posts were interesting and unexpected. Some cities really wanted to take on the challenge and help me taste their city, and some wanted to complain that I had picked the wrong event to really sample the best cuisine their city had to offer. Some posters had no idea what one should taste when visiting their city.
My question seemed to touch on something that many of the Foodies on Chowhound may have not have ever considered about their own city - what does one eat to taste the food of their city?
I starting placing these posts on Chowhound after I did the Taste of Chicago, which was one of the first and largest events I attended. I traveled to Chicago by myself and roamed the event in search of what would give me a "Taste of Chicago." That's when I decided just to stop and ask the locals what they would recommend.
After stopping several groups I was given this short list of things to eat to Taste Chicago:
1 - Chicago-style Deep Dish Pizza
2 - Chicago-style Hot Dogs
3 - Italian Beef Sandwich
This is not fancy food, this is food that came from the large immigrant population and workforce that flowed from the port into the Windy City. It is food that all Chicagoan's know and call their own. So, I ate it, and it was good. And I realized that working class food, or comfort food is what points to the immigrant population that has most impacted a city's culinary roots. America, as we all know, is the ultimate melting pot . . .and that goes for our food as well.
I did eat a lovely sashimi dinner one night at Japonais where I was one on one with their head sushi chef as I was seated in front of his station. I ended up here after calling fruitlessly to get a last minute seating for one at Alinea, Topolobampo, Blackbird and Avec.
When I came home from Chicago, I did my postings on Chowhound to ask for recommendations in Dallas, Seattle, Colorado and St. Louis.
Next, I attended the Taste of Dallas, where I was directed by Chowhounders in DFW to go eat: Texas BBQ, Country Cookin' or Tex Mex food . . .or really any dish involving lots and lots of meat, preferably BEEF.
This is food that came from the men out on the ranges herding cattle and eating trail food and from the Mexicans that moved across the border into Texas that influenced their cuisine. I dutifully obliged and ate BBQ beef, prime rib beef sandwich, soft tortillas filled with tender pork and finally fried chicken and mashed potatoes from the most beloved Babe's Chicken Dinner House. I even had a bite of a frito chili pie . . .which no matter how old you get still tastes nostalgic and comforting.
I went back to Dallas later in the summer and enjoyed a wonderful dinner at York Street and the best tacos I have ever had at Fuel City.
From there I attended the Bite of Seattle, where the Seattle Chowhounders suggested I eat at Chef Tom Douglas, Seattle's most well-known restaurateur's, upscale culinary booth. (Chef Tom hosts a FOODIE tasting within the bigger event that one can experience for an additional price.) They also suggested anything the Indians would have eaten such as corn, fresh salmon and berries and finally any Asian food booth . . . and there were plenty to choose from: Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Malaysian etc. Heck, I walked around this event drinking fresh coconut juice straight from a coconut. Unforgettable.
Seattle's food scene seems to come from what the Asian population has brought with them and their access to fresh fish and the desire to buy local, eat local . . .fresh and in season whatever the land gives you, much like the Indians. I read an article last year that said the Northwest might be the only region in the US that can claim to have it's own distinctive regional cuisine.
As you can see from the photo gallery on the side of this blog, the other culinary high point of this trip was spending time with my favorite Aunt eating at restaurants I had only read about in Food & Wine Magazine. Sitka & Spruce and Lark were our dinner choices, after we tried twice to get into Elemental at The Gasworks only to be turned away as they were full both nights at 5 pm.
Then, I headed to Taste of Colorado in Denver over Labor Day weekend, and although the festival was impressive and large, I found very little to eat and enjoy that I would say came close to representing the cuisine of Colorado. Lots of funnel cakes, corn dogs and candied nuts . . .when I was looking for local corn, green chili sauce and succulent grilled lamb. However, I also had one of the best dining experiences of my life at the stand out restaurant in Boulder called Frasca Food and Wine. This restaurant experience alone, and meeting the person who recommended it to me, made the trip more than worthwhile from a personal and culinary standpoint. Imagine the smile on my face when I saw Jerry Shriver of USA Today in December of 2007 name Frasca - "The best meal of the year." I ate there, I thought. I've had the best meal of the year.
Finally, I completed my trips with the Taste of St. Louis. My posting on Chowhound brought back some very interesting and thoughtful comments. I was told by bobzemunda (AKA Bill Burge, food writer extraordinaire from St. Louis and contributor to one of my favorite food magazines Sauce.) to eat the following to taste St. Louis:
1 - American Lager aka Budweiser
2 - Toasted Ravioli
3 - Gooey Butter Cake
4 - Slinger - eggs, home fries, and a hamburger patty all covered in chili and topped with cheese
5 - Pork Steaks - cut from the pork shoulder blade
6 - St. Louis style pizza - Cracker style thin crust pizza with provel cheese
7 - St. Paul Sandwich - an egg foo young patty with bean sprouts and white onions, dill pickle slices, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes, and Wonder Bread.
This list is interesting because it is all items that originated in St. Louis. There were only three I did not find or taste while I was in St. Louis, they were the Slinger, Pork Steaks and St. Paul Sandwich. I don't think my stomach was up to the challenge, but next time I am in St. Louis . . .watch out, I plan to finish the list.
All of the comfort food items recommended to me were really not so different in terms of influence from the many delicious "fancy" restaurants, many Chowhound posters thought I should be eating at to get a taste of their city's best cuisine. These upscale restaurants serve food that usually comes from some specific influence in the Chef's background, his education, his ingredients, his interests or his experiences. French, Italian, Spanish, German, Chinese . . .heck even California, I suppose, could be listed. Fusion cuisine comes from melding two or more of these influences together. It is still an outside culture bringing their cooking style and cuisine to America. After all, aren't we all considered immigrants to this land? Unless, of course, you are an American Indian.
So, perhaps the bigger question is what should you eat to get a "Taste of America?" I think my answer to that would be to eat it all . . .every cuisine from every culture that has landed in America and call it ours. Because it is us, it is food we brought from our countries of origin to America. We are the land of opportunity . . .opportunity to eat and enjoy a bounty of foods from the many cultures that have come to this country.
So, the next question should be why we, as Americans, are obsessed with whether the ethnic cuisine we are eating are authentically prepared, or if they have been dumbed down to suit the American palate. Our ancestors brought these recipes here, and then they were passed down through generations and added to and substitutions were made for what was available and in season . . .and then they dipped it in corn meal batter and deep fat fried it and put it on a stick. (Just kidding.)
Seriously, I wonder why we, as a nation, give our collective palate so little culinary street cred? We eat food from all over the international UN buffet in this country. So, why are we so obsessed that we might be getting the ethnic wool pulled over our eyes or our stomachs?
Of course, I say this having represented Brazilian cuisine in Kansas City for the 5 years I owned the Brazilian Cargo Company, and I had plenty of Americans come into the store and ask the most navel gazing questions about the food of Brazil. But as an American, I wanted to educate them about the food. To teach them what I knew about it, so they could move in the world with some level of confidence and understanding about a cuisine from a different land. We all have to start our Foodie journey somewhere.
Mine, started last year, on this U.S. Foodie Tour . . .but it was less about the cities I traveled to and even about the food I ate along the way.
What made these trips memorable were the people I met who shared similar interests and passions. The ones on Chowhound who offered to meet me in St. Louis and show me around, the ones I did meet for a drink at Frasca in Boulder, the friends and family members I spent time with and reconnected with after a long time in Dallas and Seattle, and getting the opportunity to interview the lovely and down to earth, Chef Cat Cora at the Taste of Colorado. We talked about health and diet advice, her role as the only female Iron Chef on Food Network, her new restaurant concept (Global BBQ) and she shared tips on how I could get my son to eat a larger variety of foods based on her parenting experiences. And the last person I met who made an impact on me, was a quiet guy who was standing on the Pier in Chicago on July 3rd with me watching the fireworks who was from Cuba and eating his first burrito since coming to the US.
I guess our American food can also impact those from other countries coming here for the first time. Life is a journey, and I am so glad I took this one.

The LARGO captivates listeners and players alike with its engrossing tone and versatile range.
Powerful, dynamic sound and clarity of design lend the LARGO its unique character – unparalleled in its class.
The aesthetic beauty of the LARGO is in its elegant details – historical accents such as concealed machine heads, the shapely head of the instrument, and the hand-varnished body, for instance.
The soundboard is fashioned of premium moon spruce; this material, in combination with other carefully selected tonewoods, creates the LARGO's rousing, full-bodied tone.
With its innovative extras, convenient options for controlling the sound, and broad range of possibilities for customizing the string setup, the LARGO delivers unmatched versatility.
The LARGO is available with either an ALTO or a TENOR keyboard. The longer scale length of the TENOR keyboard allows the player to produce a greater range of notes while generating a warm, powerful tone in the lower registers.

Before 11 AM, it's closed evry day. Not just locked but gated with a welded iron grill. When open, it's posted hours are until 2 AM (except Sunday & Monday till midnight). Tomorrow night, some of Zenta will be celebrating its 500 years of existence while others will be gathering in Mojo to hear and feel a Nirvana tribute band from Beograd.
Inside is all dark wood festooned with stuff from their own past, and acquired from other bars, concerts and their patrons [a Picaroons beer coaster is going there as soon as I remember to take one]. There a pool table that gets covered on band/DJ nights for tabletop dancing. There's a British-style dartboard from a German bar that's never been used in Mojo else there'd be dart holes in other stuff on the wall.
It's a two-story pub with an open balcony all around the top floor that's most often used as a dining area (pizza, spaggetti, lepinjea type of sandwich, chicken wings, etc.). There's a few skylights in the sloped open-beam ceiling. Turkish toilets onlya long way from the invention of Thomas Crapper in England and his successors. Takeout available for delivery on the back of a Tomas bike.
This place is truly a local, a great one at that. Everyone from grandparents to grandchildern and dogs in one place. Kiara's vet showed up there last night not an hour after he'd administered the three-month needle. The plumber who worked on the dying clothes washer (inherited with house) hangs there. As does the maker of the cold-wrought iron shelving; the mason who tiled the bathroom; the friend who came with his lawnmover before the funeral party . . . it's almost as if you could say, "If they don't go to Mojo, they're not the right person to do something for or with me."
Here's a view of some of the ceiling over the bar downstairs with the latest version of the club's t-shirt hanging above all. I still haven't made it to a live entertainment night (not so easy when one's partner has a 5-year old). Summer afternoons and night are great for sitting on the long bench at the converted sewing machine tables (mostly Singer bases, one Durkopp) on its narrow sidestreet. Plenty of converation, friendly people, cheap pivo (beer)60 dinar (about $1 Canadian) for a 0.5 litre bottle of Jelen or Lav.
Jelena and I did hear some of the recent Reggae Night. It was all CD music (not live like Wednesday nights at The Taproom with Dub Antenna on stage).
Last weekend was busy with DJ Fraser (from Hungary) playing till 5 AM Saturday and that night the band Plug In played with their cover of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead and more . . . Both nights were great, we've heard. Once Matthew's vinyl arrives from Portland, Oregon I suspect that mrtigerstripes will DJ some nights @ Mojo.

I suppose I should open this post with an *, as George Burns was born as Nathan Birnbaum.
Gracie, on the other hand, was born as Grace Ethel Cecile Rosalie Allen. Three middle names.
On my dad's side of the family, it was standard practice to give a child 2 middle names:

George experienced a long and successful run. 58 years in the top ten (1880-1937), 26 years in a row at #4 (1884-1909). Since his drop out of the top 20 in 1950, he has experienced an average decline of slightly more than two positions per year.
Grace was also a popular name in the waning years of the 19th century and into the 20th century. By the late 1970s, however, she had fallen to nearly 400 in the rankings. At this point, she accomplished a very impressive reversal and now stands in almost the same place where she did 133 years ago.

I got involved with the White Lily shoot through Sophia Ramcharan, who is the producer at Stella Vision Films, which was also responsible for The Grand and Happy New Year, two shorts that I had worked on previously. I joined the crew quite late due to being abroad for a lot of the production meetings, but I was fortunate enough to be working under Sarah Lewis, who I had also worked with before. I was excited to be a part of not only a science-fiction short, which was a genre I hadn't had the opportunity to work on before, but also a full set build.
The set was assembled from black plastic pallets and cable ties, which quickly became a really good base for the set. The director of White Lily, Tristan Ofield, sourced the pallets and built a small test set before the full build in the warehouse space. The writer, Adrian Reynolds, was also onset for the set build and shoot. It was really nice getting the original creator's opinion as we dressed the space.
White Lily was a kick starter funded short written by Adrian Reynolds and directed by Tristan Ofield.
Although the pallets created such a good base for the ship interior, I felt that the space really came alive with all the wires, signage, and part of old computers that we used as dressing. I am personally a huge Red Dwarf fan, so little touches such as the hazard tape around the doors, were very much inspired by that.
This is the set, complete with cast and boom operator, shown below.

This question perhaps goes out to Lori and anyone that can help me. I live in Las Vegas and I am looking into building a home as soon as I find the right piece of land. My boyfriend thinks I can't afford to build my own house. I need info on numbers on how much it actually costs to "build a house"....before he will help me...so any help I can get would be awesome....Thanks...LaniReply...
By Tom in Stroudsburg, PA on 10/8/2006
I don't know that a house could be built at $50 a sq/ft anymore but your putting the cart before the horse anyway. Your best bet is to find a home design your comfortable with and get estimates from builders then you will know the high end of what your looking at. Coming down from that number depends on whether you manage your build and how much of the work you can do yourself. As you look at floor plans keep in mind that as you get away from a conventional box and standard framing for your area the cost will shoot higher quickly. Fancy roof lines, porches, breakfast nooks all add $Reply...

Lani, the problem is finding affordable land here in Vegas in a desirable neighborhood. I haven't seen a decent lot for under $450,000 and that's without utilities or water meters. So, in that regard, you are starting out deep in the hole if you are spending that much for a lot. With new home builders here piling on incentives like no payments for one year, free swimming pools, new cars for your garage, etc, you are going to have a tough time saving any money. Reply...

The real estate here in the Reno area is completely different than the Vegas area. We were lucky we bought our 11.5 acres in 2003, just before land prices went up. The same size parcels are going for $150-$200,000 depending on how far back in the valley you are, we paid $41,500,which is not included in the loan since the land was paid off.
Our projected cost to build was $262,000 for a 2508sf home with 977sf of covered porch. The approved loan amount was $302,500 and we are hovering between the two right now on the lower end (the well drill and foundation went over budget). We chose to go with a panelized package that included all the lumber, windows, doors, cabinets, drywall, insulation, roofing material, and trusses which cost $128,000.
If you can afford to buy a house you can afford to build a house, as long as you are able to find affordable land. Here in Reno that is still possible, but I am unfamiliar with the Vegas market. Hope this helps. If you have anymore questions please ask.

Thank you to everyone for all the information that you have put out there for me... I have done alot of research since I posted my question and I have a much clearer picture of what I am looking at...I do want to tell Ken that I have found numerous plots of land with all utilites for 100,000-150,000 in great areas and being somewhere between .21 and .30 of an acre if you even want to go as much as 250,000 you can get more than a 1/2 an acre with the right to keep a horse....so I have to say that I am not sure where you are looking or what you deam as a decent lot but unless you gotta live in seven hills...it's not as crazy as you think...no offense but I thought this was a site to help encourage and support and gain information on how to make this happen not to talk you out of it or tell you how hard it is.....I'll be happy to send anyone my real estate agent's info if you are having trouble finding land...she has found me plenty of it...and she is quite a doll...
THanks, Lani
Lori thank you so much for the info...I have found some great piece's of land and narrowing down which one...I have looked into getting a panalized home as well.....are you glad you went that route??? and who did you go through to get the panalized home? THanks LaniReply...

Hi Lani!
I have been watching this thread for a while and figured I would jump in now. Everyone says panelized packages are the way to go for their efficiency and reduced labor costs - but this is only half of the story. In truth, many contractors are unfamiliar with panelized systems, so if you decide to go this route, expect to pay for it in the labor area. If contractors are unfamiliar with a particular building procedure, they charge more as a way of protecting themselves. Secondly, panelized companies are very strict on their payment schedules. Say you decide to order the panels, the company will require a large down payment. I've seen them as high as 90% upfront. If you are financing your project, no lender will disburse this much with no materials on site. So, keep the deposit aspect in mind. Also, they will not unload the panels from the truck until you hand them a check for the remaining balance. Again, if you are financing this project, it will be hard, if not impossible, to convince a lender to disburse funds for something no on site.
I am not trying to talk you out of panels, but you should know the bad things as well as the good. If you can find a builder familiar with installing panels and have a lender with liberal procedures, this could work well. But unfortunately, most builders and lenders are not comfortable with panelized systems. Compare that to traditional stick-frame and you'll be able to find plenty of framers to frame the house, and can have progress payments on the labor aspect (as opposed to a large deposit and final payment before one wall has been erected). Hopefully this helps you in your decision.
By Lori in Reno, NV on 10/26/2006
Sorry, to disagree, but I do. Have you built a home with panels???
We here at Owner Builder Book actually promote owner builders.
There are lenders that specialize in panelized loan packages.
Our home was a custom plan from a Vegas company, engineered by a Utah company, and panelized by a company in California.
P.S. We unloaded the panels with their help.
By Dale in Richland, AZ on 3/4/2007
Panel construction can be of two different methods, one is where it is stick framing and the walls are built in a factory and shipped to your site are erection and assembly, the other is structural insulated panel where pieces of the wall are fabricated in a factory which have no lumber in them but are skins of OSB and a foam interior. Both go up very quickly.I have built both a panelized frame house and an SIP house. Cost and time were similar. Neither needed a rocket scientist to get the framing done as I had the factory for each product do the install because conventional framers wanted to charge more for the "labor" then if they spent 4 weeks on the job site. Once you find your wall system and the manufacturer, get some recommendations for crews.Reply...

New Zealand has announced it will significantly increase its refugee quota from 2020.
Jacinda Ardern's Labour party last year campaigned on raising New Zealand's annual intake of refugees from 1,000 to 1,500 during its first three-year term in government.
But questions about whether the policy would happen have lingered in recent weeks amid speculation the NZ First party – Labour's coalition partner which campaigned on a platform of dramatic immigration cuts – may not back the move.
On Wednesday, Ardern, with NZ First leader Winston Peters by her side, confirmed the number would rise to 1,500, but only from July 2020.
"This is the right thing to do. It fulfils New Zealand's obligation to do our bit and provide a small number of people, displaced by war and disaster each year, a place to call home," she said.
The time-frame was a "simple question of logistics" and about ensuring there was enough capacity and support available, Ardern said.
The government in recent months has cited a housing crisis in New Zealand as of particular concern.
"In the meantime, we will work to increase the number and spread of refugee resettlement and support services. We need to make sure we're prepared for this change," the prime minister said.
The decision comes as the number of displaced people around the world reaches its highest level on record, according to the UN Refugee Agency, and a refugee crisis provokes tension in European politics.
It also comes days before Ardern departs to speak at the United Nations in New York.
Activists have been critical of New Zealand's refugee intake in recent years, with the number only raised to 1,000 in 2016 (the first increase since 1987). New Zealand's 2017 intake sits at less than a quarter of Australia's intake on a per-capita basis.
However, ministers and agencies pointed out New Zealand also takes in vulnerable and high-need refugees who may be excluded by other countries.
Murdoch Stephens, who founded the campaign calling for the increase and recently authored a book on the issue, welcomed Wednesday's announcement but said more work needed to be done.
"Doubling the quota makes up for 30 years of no increase to the quota," he said. "At 1,500 places we'll still be accepting half as many people per capita as Australia. Today is a day of celebration, for sure, but we are far from being world leaders."
New Zealand's Green party, a support partner of the government, has called for the quota to be raised to 6,000 to put New Zealand closer in line with countries such as Australia and Canada.
"But 1,500 is a great start. It's definitely a day to celebrate," Green MP Golriz Ghahraman said.

In a suit in equity to establish the plaintiff's title to land based on a purchase and deed from the trustee in bankruptcy of a former owner, who before his bankruptcy had conveyed the land to a predecessor of the defendant, the bill was properly dismissed where it appeared upon a plea of res judicata that it had already been decided in the bankruptcy proceeding that the trustee in bankruptcy had no title to the land.
A decree that a plea in a suit in equity "be and hereby is sustained" was an adjudication of the truth of the facts set up by the plea and not merely of its legal sufficiency.
BILL IN EQUITY, filed in the Superior Court on August 7, 1950.
The suit was heard by O'Brien, J., upon a plea.
Arthur C. McCarthy, (Francis B. Burns with him,) for the plaintiff.
James R. Skahan, for the defendants.
LUMMUS, J. This case concerns the title to a small lot of land at the corner of Bradford Road and Arthur Road in Belmont which was owned by George E. Tobey on August 25, 1938, when he conveyed it to Victor O. Johnson who immediately conveyed it to Adah T. Tobey, wife of said George E. Tobey. On June 27, 1940, George E. Tobey was adjudicated a bankrupt. The plaintiff bought the lot from his trustee in bankruptcy and received from him a deed conveying it.
After George E. Tobey was adjudicated a bankrupt, Adah T. Tobey conveyed said lot to one Lee and on January 26, 1950, Lee conveyed it to the defendants named Manning.
Page 24
The Mannings have applied for a license to erect a house on said lot and to maintain a garage thereon.
The purpose of the plaintiff's bill in equity, filed August 7, 1950, is to prevent the erection of said house and the maintenance of said garage, to declare void the title of the Mannings, and to establish the title of the plaintiff.
It appeared that the plaintiff received a deed of said lot for nonpayment of taxes on August 11, 1942, but did nothing to foreclose and perfect his title until in 1945 he petitioned the Land Court to foreclose his tax title. Lee, the grantee of Adah T. Tobey, obtained a decree from the Land Court granting him a right to redeem, and the present plaintiff appealed. That decree was affirmed. O'Donoghue v. Lee, 321 Mass. 750 . See also Paul v. Lee, 321 Mass. 10 . An appeal by the present plaintiff from the decree after rescript was dismissed. Lee v. O'Donoghue, 325 Mass. 759 .
The present bill in equity was heard upon the plea in bar filed by the defendants Manning, setting up that the present controversy has already been adjudicated. The plea was sustained, and the bill was dismissed. The plaintiff appealed.
The plaintiff cannot rely upon his original tax title, for Lee was permitted to redeem from that. The plaintiff must rely upon his deed from the trustee in bankruptcy of George E. Tobey. But the United States District Court, in proceedings by the trustee in bankruptcy to obtain said lot, decided that the trustee in bankruptcy had no title.
The decree that the plea in bar "be and hereby is sustained" was an adjudication on the facts, and not merely on the words of the pleading. Dudley v. Sheehan Construction Co. 305 Mass. 144 , 145. Moran v. Manning, 306 Mass. 404 , 408. We see no error in the entry of the final decree dismissing the bill in equity.
Decree affirmed with costs.

Intrinsic ageing causes us to grow old prematurely.
These changes affect us differently, as well as at different rates.
Having worked with many clients over the years, I've seen first hand, how preventative measures are better than a cure.
I always advise my clients, the skincare you put in place today, will benefit you're skin for many years to come.
Start as Early as Possible
Those teenage years can be a really tumultuous time for many, as you have to deal with the process of adolescence and hormones.
Hormones can often present themselves in the skin as hormonal acne, which fortunately in most cases, start to calm down as you move into your twenties.
When we are young our skin is plump and hydrated, collagen and elastin fibres are still perfectly formed and crossed.
Our skin is still going to be regularly exposed to UV radiation; it is the effects of this ultra violet light during these formative years, that will be etched into your skin forever.
The damage done at this stage is still not visible to the naked eye, and will not become apparent until years later; for this reason good skin education should begin now.
For my younger customers, who are keen how to maintain perfect skin as they age, I recommend introducing a good skin care routine and safe sun practices from an early age.
Being Preventative is Key
There is no real secret to perfect skin; it's really about common sense.
Having good lifestyle practices and using good products, coupled with effective ingredients that truly treat the skin at a cellular level, such as retinoids, antioxidants, and humectants, will help you maintain your skins health.
My range of skincare products, are designed to keep your skin in check. Miracle cleanse, ACE antioxidant complex and A+ retinol sleep complex contain the above ingredients, helping to combat the damaging free radicals, responsible for premature ageing.
So you can maintain a youthful, dewy glow for now and many years to come.
You should also ensure you are protecting your skin on a daily basis from the suns damaging rays, this is paramount if you want to prevent premature ageing.
This combined with regular facials and gentle, natural products, will help to slow down the ageing process.

Major drug bust at border undermines Trump talking points
A few weeks ago, Donald Trump published a tweet touting "the biggest Fentanyl bust in our Country's history," which had just occurred at the U.S./Mexico border. In this case, the president's claim had the benefit of being true: U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials captured 254 pounds of fentanyl, with a street value of several millions dollars.
But if Trump's missive was intended to prove a larger point about drugs entering the country through Mexico, the details proved problematic: the historic fentanyl bust was made at a port of entry. As Time magazine reported, the drugs were found hidden "in a compartment under the rear floor of a tractor-trailer after a scan during a secondary inspection indicated 'some anomalies' in the load."
Literally the next day, the president sat down with the New York Times and argued, "[U]nlike what the Democrats say, they don't, you don't bring trucks of drugs through the checkpoints. You bring trucks of drugs by making a right 20 miles, and a left into the country."
Except, it's not just what "the Democrats" say; it's what his own administration says. In the case of the fentanyl bust, it's what happened the day before.
Yesterday, something similar happened. USA Today reported:
A commercial shipment of frozen strawberries coming from Mexico contained $12.7 million worth of methamphetamine, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced Tuesday.
The alleged drug-smuggling operation was discovered at the cargo facility at the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge in southern Texas on Feb. 16, a release says. Officers found 906 pounds of the drug concealed in a trailer, CBP says.
A 42-year-old man who is a Mexican citizen was arrested in connection with the seizure, according to the release.
To be sure, this is an enormous drug bust, and one of the White House's prominent media allies was eager to tout the smuggling attempt.
But again, developments like these are emblematic of a larger truth: Trump's talking points are plainly wrong.
What happened at the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge is what usually happens: drug smugglers tried to bring their product into the United States at a port of entry. According to the DEA, the vast majority of the time, this is how the drug trade works, and it would be unaffected by a giant border wall.
If the president wants to argue that drug smuggling across the border is a problem, he's right, but it's not a controversial point. What Trump actually argues, however, is that the evidence about how and where drugs enter the country shouldn't be believed, while his baseless assumptions must be accepted as fact.
Consider the Republican's comments at last week's event announcing an emergency declaration: "[W]e have tremendous amounts of drugs flowing into our country, much of it coming from the southern border. When you look and when you listen to politicians – in particular, certain Democrats – they say it all comes through the port of entry. It's wrong. It's wrong. It's just a lie. It's all a lie."
But it's not. As reality keeps demonstrating, the information we receive from the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Customs and Border Patrol appears to be true: drug smugglers wouldn't be stopped by a giant border wall because they already rely on ports of entry.
If substance played a more meaningful role in the debate, the White House could prioritize improved security measures at these entry points – a measure congressional Democrats have already endorsed and are prepared to invest in. But Trump wants a wall, which leads him and his allies to point to developments at the border that have nothing to do with a wall.

More than 22-thousand Mississippians maybe leaving cash on the table by not buying health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. That's according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Beginning November 1, Mississippians can enroll for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act's federal exchange. Over 70,000 people currently are currently enrolled in ACA in the state and about 93 percent receive a tax credit. The federal government reports more than 22,000 Mississippians who buy individual insurance plans maybe losing money by not using the exchange. State Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney.
"Well some people are not buying FFM, which we call the federal market place simply because they think they can buy a better product through the private market without any subsidy from the federal government, one. Number two, they may not be eligible for a subsidy in the form of a tax credit," said Chaney.
Rates are rising on the federal exchange nationwide and so are subsidies. Chaney approved an average rate hike of 43 percent for Humana and 7 percent for Ambetter, also called Magnolia Health for 2017. ACA has four plans: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. Chaney says Mississippi's Silver Plan is $282 per month, which is cheaper than the same plan in nine southeastern states. Roy Mitchell with the Mississippi Health Advocacy Program.
"Most Mississippians don't understand that the tax credits are available to them and it's quite a savings that, that if they utilize this it makes it much more affordable," said Mitchell.
The Mississippi Health Advocacy Program has counselors who can provide more information about the Affordable Care Act.

I moved to Florida from Iowa a year ago. I had really let myself go, health-wise. I was tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin and knew, as a nurse, I had to take care of myself. That's when I joined LA Fitness. At first, I felt really intimidated being at the gym. I started lifting and mixed cardio into my routine. Before I knew it, I was losing weight. A year later, I'm down 45 pounds and feeling great. If I could give others a simple piece of advice I would say this: It's not easy. We all have to start somewhere and you're going to have to push yourself hard. Don't give up and know that it will take time! It will be worth it in the end, trust me.
