The passive component industry is estimated to generate the output value of USD21.7 billion in 2013, of which, the capacitor business will contribute around USD14.4 billion or 66%, the resistor about USD2 billion, the inductor roughly USD3 billion, and the magnetic component will generate USD1.2 billion or so.
The report highlights the followings:
1. Brief Introduction to Passive Components;
2. Passive Component Industry & Market Segments-Capacitor, Inductor and Resistor;
3. Main Downstream Markets of Passive Components-Cell Phone, PC, Notebook PC and Tablet Computer;
4. 24 Passive Component Companies;
The passive component industry is widespread in Japan, Taiwan, United States, Chinese Mainland and Southeast Asia. In particular, Japan holds overwhelming superiority, with the market share hitting 52%. With the substantial depreciation of the Japanese yen, the market share of Japan is expected to get further increased. By contrast, the market share of Chinese industrial players is no more than 7%, and most of them are specialized in the production of low-end products. Owning to the fact that the production of Chip-based passive components is highly automatic which implies the limited area of production base coverage, a great many of Japanese companies prefer to produce most of their products in local Japan, and turn to China and Southeast Asia for the production of small quantities of low-end products. And the same is true for America which has little possibility to transfer the production beyond the locality.
The capacitor falls into ceramic capacitor, aluminum electrolytic capacitor, PEDT, tantalum capacitor and film capacitor. In particular, the multi-layer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) makes up 62% in the capacitor market, with the largest shipment and the highest output value. On average, some 300-400 pieces of MLCCs are needed for each cellphone; some 400-600 pieces of MLCCs are wanted for each notebook PC; and some 300-400 pieces are required for each tablet PC. With the expanding MLCC market capacity, a part of aluminum electrolytic capacitor market is seized by MLCC market. MLCC is a kind of capacitor with the strongest growth momentum, while the aluminum electrolytic capacitor market is expected to shrink in the future.
The aluminum electrolytic capacitor market mainly caters to industrial equipments, white household appliances, TVs and PC motherboards. In particular, the application of aluminum electrolytic capacitor in white household appliances and TVs remains on edge or slips down, while the use in desktop and traditional PC market is on the decline of varying degrees. Since it is ultrathin, Ultrabook has no choice but to employ MLCC. As for other capacitors, the markets remain stable in a relative sense.
In 2013, SEMCO is projected to catch up TDK to become the world's second largest MLCC company. MURATA is equipped with the highest capacity and the most advanced technology which make it possible to dominate the MLCC market. Calculated by the Japanese yen, both TDK and TAIYO YUDEN are expected to see outstanding growth momentum in 2013. Japanese enterprises are best known for first-class products but higher prices, however, the depreciation of the Japanese yen cuts down the selling prices of products made in Japan.
Top three aluminum electrolytic capacitor producers include Nippon Chemi-Con, Nichicon and RUBYCON which occupy automobile, NC equipment, industrial power supply, wind power generation, LCD-TV, PC and the military market. In China, there are numerous aluminum electrolytic capacitor markers due to its price superiority in raw materials of electrolytic aluminum. But these Chinese counterparts are small and scattered, concentrating in white household appliance, acoustics and display fields.
The inductor market features high concentration, with the industrial leader TDK-EPC sweeping 49% market share. Due to special requirements, inductor products are with high gross margin. Thus, even producers with very low output can survive. In reality, there are a lot of small firms in the market, and some of them even realize the annual revenue of less than USD1 million. In Taiwan, there are around eight larger industrial players, the largest one among which is Chilision that harvested the revenue of USD121 million in 2012. In Mainland China, Sunlord boasts the largest one, with the revenue in 2012 approximating USD118 million.

A husband-and-wife chiropractic team won't be able to open their practice in the former Shelton's Ravinia Grill space at 481 Roger Williams Avenue.
The Highland Park City Council has denied the request from Connor and Natalia LaVallie to use the storefront space for their Greater Good Chiropractic Care practice. Council members contended the business will not promote the development of retail and restaurant uses in the area.
The couple had planned to purchase the building and live in the apartment over their practice. The council's unanimous vote May 14 to deny the petition contrasted sharply with the favorable 5-0 recommendation of the city's Plan and Design Commission on May 1. Several commissioners noted the space had been vacant a long time.
Carolyn Hersch, the city's business development manager, registered written opposition to the project.
"There are already a significant number of service businesses in the district, many of which are grandfathered in until such time as they close," Hersch wrote.
She said there are vacant office buildings in the Ravinia district and locations elsewhere in Highland Park where the couple could practice.
"It doesn't have to be on the ground floor of this tiny district that doesn't have many options left for dining and entertainment," Hersch said.
Storefronts along Roger Williams Avenue in Highland Park are to be used for retail or "retail-oriented service uses" at street level, though many exceptions now exist. The retail overlay district is similar to the Pedestrian-Oriented Shopping District in Highland Park's downtown business district.
Connor LaVallie said he and his wife have been visiting the area for the past eight months.
"We've seen … and been cognizant of the number of people going in and out of those businesses in the Roger Williams overlay and quite frankly, there really aren't people going in and out of there," LaVallie said. "It is absolutely our No. 1 priority to enliven that district."
Councilman Anthony Blumberg said in his view, the chiropractic use did not meet several standards for approval.
"My concern is that in the particular location, not having a usage that is a permitted usage in a pedestrian overlay is going to hinder the orderly development of that area," Blumberg said. "We have heard a lot from the Ravinia Neighbors Association and people who are looking for pedestrian-oriented retailing there."
Addressing the couple, he said, "Although you are retailing some products, you are primarily a service organization."

Menopause Quiz: how clued up are you
Take the quiz & test your knowledge!Take the menopause quiz
Bruising can be a more frequent occurrence for some people, such as the old or the very young. Nevertheless, it is rare but not unheard of for bruising easily to be a side-effect of a more serious health condition. In this page, our muscle and joint expert Earle Logan describes the people more vulnerable to bruising, and discusses the medical complaints associated with recurrent contusions.
Bruising occurs when part of your body is damaged to the extent that small blood vessels close to the skin are ruptured and blood leaks out into tissues under the skin.
Bruises appear as small patches of abnormal colour (normally purple or blue, then green or yellow) under the skin. If the injury is severe, the bruise may be accompanied by swelling. With most injuries, symptoms disappear within ten days.
Some bruises however, can appear without any apparent injury, occurring 'out of the blue'. Some people find that these unexplained bruises happen quite frequently and simply accept that they 'bruise easily'.
Bruising easily is not usually a sign of major health problems.
Occasionally, bruising easily can be the result of an illness. These are usually serious conditions requiring the attention of the medical profession and include:
The majority of people who bruise easily will have no underlying serious health condition to worry about. However, seek medical advice if you:
Some foods can increase inflammation and discomfort, whilst others can actually reduce it and relieve pain. Discover which foods you should eat fewer of (some might surprise you) and what you should eat more of instead, when suffering from muscle & joint pain.

James Roche, a senior executive at Northrop Grumman Corp., has been nominated to be Air Force Secretary. Roche, a Navy veteran and former staff director for the Senate Armed Services Committee, served a previous tour at the Pentagon in the Office of Net Assessment in the 1970s. He has worked for Northrop Grumman since 1984. Tom White, a retired Army one-star general and West Point graduate, has been tapped for the Army's top civilian slot. White is currently chairman of Enron Energy. White served as a top aide to Colin Powell in 1989 and 1990. Gordon England, a seasoned defense executive, has been nominated to head the Navy. England is currently executive vice president of General Dynamics. The nominees, who are awaiting Senate confirmation, reflect the Bush administration's continuing efforts to seek experienced civilians with private-sector backgrounds to bring commercial expertise and a business mindset to the Pentagon.
The move is a marked shift from the Clinton administration's practice. Clinton often filled top Defense positions with policy experts from Capitol Hill and relied heavily on the uniformed military chiefs to manage the services.

The Donald Lucas Papers, sub-series D, contains the most extensive collection of organizational records of the Council on Religion and the Homosexual (1955-1970).
Hist/Bio Note
Donald Stewart Lucas was born in rural Colorado in 1926, but moved to San Francisco in 1949, performing in local theater until the middle 1950s. There, he was introduced to the Mattachine Society and the idea of homosexual education and activism. An acquaintance invited Lucas to a meeting of a San Francisco chapter of the recently re-formed Mattachine Society in mid-1953. In November 1953 Lucas attended a Constitutional Convention of the Society in Los Angeles and from that point in time became progressively more involved in the organization. As the leadership of the Society migrated from southern to northern California, Lucas assumed greater leadership responsibilities. In 1954, Lucas was a representative of the San Francisco Area Council and in 1955 he moved into the position of chair of the Society's Legal-Legislative Committee. Beginning in 1955, he also worked with Hal Call on publishing the Mattachine Review in the position of Business Manager.
During that time, he kept the books for the publishing company he founded with Hal Call, but spent most of his time performing what he called "lay counseling" for the Society. This activity included working with individuals who contacted the Society with a whole variety of problems relating to employment, housing, civil rights, arrests, family, gender identity, and psychology at a time when the San Francisco homophile movement experienced a period of significant growth. Lucas played an important role in the expansion of the movement as he helped to found the Council on Religion and the Homosexual (CRH) in 1964.
The Council on Religion and the Homosexual
The key event in CRH history was the New Year's Day Mardi Gras Ball of 1965. This Ball, held at California Hall on Polk Street, was a fundraiser for CRH and was sponsored by the city's homophile organizations. Although all the proper permits had been obtained, the members of the San Francisco Police Department photographed and otherwise harassed attendees; they also arrested several ministers, three lawyers, and a housewife for supposedly interfering with police work. What happened next is well documented: the behavior of the police backfired and, with the help of the CRH ministers, the event turned into an extremely important public relations coup not only for CRH and the homophile movement, but for San Francisco homosexuals in general.
The Council on Religion and the Homosexual (CRH) was an outgrowth of several San Francisco-based homophile organizations: the Mattachine Society, the Daughters of Bilitis, and the League for Civil Education, as well as the Glide Memorial Center. Since the late 1950s, one goal of these organizations was to build alliances with liberal, mostly Protestant, ministers with hopes that they would become allies in the fight for homosexual civil rights. The immediate impetus of the organization dates to June 1964 when a two-day "Consultation" on "The Church and the Homosexual" was held in Marin County. The Consultation was sponsored by the Glide Foundation, two other agencies of the Methodist Church, and several homophile organizations. Out of this Consultation grew CRH. Along with the general goal of increasing understanding and tolerance of homosexuals was the more specific goal of addressing the problems and needs of young homosexuals and gender variants, many of whom ended up on drugs and working in prostitution in San Francisco's Tenderloin, where many of the homophile and religious organizations were located.
In the second half of the 1960s, the CRH focused its activities on educating clergy and seminarians. It also helped legitimize sexuality as a topic worthy of discussion in universities and other establishments of higher education, like the National Sex Forum (which emerged out of Glide Church) and the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality (which developed out of the National Sex Forum).http://www.lgbtran.org/Profile.aspx?ID=102

Target Stores Recall Offensive Whitney Houston Cards From Their Shelves
What a disaster. Some idiot thought that it was okay to stock cards in Target stores with an offensive message taking shots at Whitney Houston. This is totally in bad taste. A Target store representative commented, ""As soon as this was brought to our attention, we began the process of removing the card from all applicable stores." Apparently they are saying the card was in print and stocked in Target stores before the Pop and R & B crooners death. This smells of a potential defamation lawsuit. Shame on you Target.

Performance Lane
As of April 8th, Performance Lane slots are full. It's not uncommon for slots to open up later and please keep in mind that there are many opportunities to peform in the Private Showcases.
FARM's Performance Lane offers a limited number of pre-scheduled 10 minute time slots to be held simultaneously in 2 conference rooms. These unplugged performances are a great opportunity to showcase and many non-official showcase artists have been booked by FARM venues based on one or two songs. Performance Lane takes place on Friday and Saturday afternoon.
How to sign up for Performance Lane
It's easy. Just register for the conference and select the box on the form indicating you would like a Performance Lane slot. Requests for these slots are filled in the order received up to the maximum number of participants we can accommodate, so REGISTER AS EARLY AS YOU CAN if you want a Performance Lane spot.
If you're a band, read this!
Please elect ONE member of your band to sign up for Performance Lane on behalf of the band. Due to the limited number of slots, we ask that you choose between performing with your band or solo. We do recognize that there is a difference between backing up an artist and being a member of a duo or band. If you are at FARM in both capacities, we will allow you to appear in multiple PL slots as a back up artist as well as your own featured slot. For example, if Joe Singer wants you to back him up on mandolin, that would not count as your one PL slot. However, if you are a member of Folk Band Extraordinaire as well as a solo performer, you will need to choose one or the other. Thanks for your cooperation.

Some immune-boosting foods are elderberries, oysters and wheat germ. Other foods that have immune-boosting properties include sweet potatoes and mushrooms. All of these foods contain minerals and nutrients that help the immune system work more effectively in different ways.Continue Reading
Elderberries contain a large amount of antioxidants, which help prevent inflammation and promote good overall health. As of 2015, some lab studies indicate that elderberry extract may be able to block the flu virus, although more research still needs to be done in this area.
Oysters and other types of shellfish are also good for boosting the immune system, due to the high amounts of zinc and selenium they contain. These nutrients activate the white blood cells intrinsic to the immune response and promote the production of cytokines, proteins that help clear viruses out of the body.
Certain varieties of mushrooms are also effective at boosting the immune system, including button, shiitake, maitake and reishi mushrooms. Button mushrooms in particular contain selenium, riboflavin and niacin, all of which play important roles in strengthening the body's immune response. Mushrooms also increase the production and activity of white blood cells and makes them more aggressive at fighting viruses.
Sweet potatoes contain beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. This nutrient plays a major role in strengthening the skin, which is the body's first line of defense against illnesses. Vitamin A works by absorbing free radicals that are damaging to skin, improving the look and elasticity of skin as well as the immune system.Learn more about Nutrition & Diets

If you are unhappy about one of our services we would like you to tell us about it. We welcome any feedback that helps us improve and maintain high standards, and all complaints will be dealt with fairly and sensitively. You can contact us by completing our online form or send your complaint to:
Customer Feedback
Corporate Complaints Team
PO Box 532
Town Hall
Telephone: 0161 234 3012
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Adult Social Care Complaints Process - Informal Stage
If you have a complaint, you can tell someone you know from the service and they will try to resolve the problem promptly. If they cannot resolve the problem, they will offer to pass your details to the Corporate Complaints Team to be dealt with under the Social Care Complaints procedure.
If you don't feel your complaint can be resolved locally, or if local resolution has failed, you can always contact the Corporate Complaints Team directly.
Adult Social Care Complaints Process - Stage 1
If your complaint relates to social care services you should expect to receive a response within 20 working days. If your complaint is complex or covers a number of areas, we may take longer to respond, however, we will tell you if we think this is likely to be the case.
When we receive your complaint we will allocate it to an Investigating Officer from the service to which your complaint relates. We will write to tell you we have received your complaint, outline the areas of your complaint we will investigate and when you can expect to receive a response.
The Investigating Officer will gather and review all of the evidence (what you have said, what staff and others said, what's recorded in our systems, both electronic and paper, along with relevant legislation or guidance) to get the clearest picture possible of what has happened.
Once the complaint has been looked into we will write to explain the outcome of the investigation and what we intend to do to resolve the problem.
If you are not satisfied with the response you can contact the Corporate Complaints Team who will look at the response and your comments and decide if the service needs to do more to put things right. If this is the case we will contact you to tell you what else we intend to do to resolve your complaint. If we believe the service has done all they reasonably can do we will write to advise you of this.
Adult Social Care – Independent Review
If you are not satisfied with the Council's response to your complaint you have the right to contact the Local Government Ombudsman (LGO) to discuss your concerns. We will provide contact details for the LGO with the final response to your complaint.
Adults, Health and Wellbeing complaints – not social care
If your complaint does not relate to social care services provided by the Council, but is about other services we've provided, for example financial services, homelessness services, or other aspects of the support and advice we've given, we follow the Corporate Complaints Procedure.
You can read about this on the Council website page 'How we deal with complaints'.

When Microsoft first started shipping resource kits for Windows, the software that came with the resource kits was something of an afterthought. The Microsoft Windows 3.0 Resource Kit came with a few goofy demonstration programs, such as Windows Fishtank, but few system utilities.
By the time the Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 Resource Kit shipped, the package included three books that were worth the resource kit's price and a CD-ROM that was chock full of applications. Most of the applications were utilities that simplified NT administration or software development, but Microsoft didn't make the utilities as useful as they could have been. Microsoft didn't document many of the applications and poorly documented most of the others. Most of the utilities had extremely basic user interfaces (UIs). And most important, Microsoft didn't support any of the utilities. Some of the utilities didn't work, and Microsoft refused to offer customers advice. Nevertheless, many of the NT 3.1 resource kit's utilities were absolutely essential.
When I asked Microsoft representatives why the company didn't support the resource kit applications, they replied that the applications were free—customers paid for the resource kit books, but not the software. That statement was defensible because in those days you could download any of the resource kit utilities for free from Microsoft's FTP site.
That first NT resource kit set the tone for resource kit utilities: a combination of the valuable and the useless, all with quirky documentation, difficult-to-use interfaces, and no support from Microsoft. When NT 3.5's resource kit arrived, Microsoft continued to refuse to support resource kit applications, but the company didn't offer the new resource kit's utilities for free. Apparently, Microsoft realized that the resource kit utilities were valuable, so the company forced customers to buy the resource kit to get the utilities.
The Latest Version
The most recent supplements to the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit demonstrate that the company no longer considers books to be the only valuable part of resource kits. Neither Supplement Two nor Supplement Three comes with any books. Of course, Microsoft still doesn't support resource kit software.
Supplement Three is a larger-than-22MB file that contains new utilities and all the utilities that previous versions of the NT 4.0 resource kit contained, including updates to some of the older utilities. As far as I can tell, you can buy Supplement Three only by joining Microsoft Press' ResourceLink (http://mspress.microsoft.com/reslink/nt40/toolbox/ download/download.htm) and downloading the file. You can join ResourceLink for $70.
Is Supplement Three worth this price? Probably. The supplement provides some useful new tools, and I've paid $70 for one utility before.
One of Supplement Three's useful tools is a link-checking wizard, which verifies that all your file associations make sense. If the wizard finds a problem with a file association (e.g., if you deleted Microsoft Excel's program files to remove the application and your system incorrectly thinks it can still handle .xls files), the wizard removes the file association. This functionality might not sound important, but I do so much fiddling with my systems that I carry the link-checking wizard around on a disk. I run the wizard as part of my standard preventive maintenance routine on my NT 4.0 workstations.
Another new Supplement Three tool, Typeperf, is a command-line version of Performance Monitor. (For information about Performance Monitor, see Michael D. Reilly, "The Windows NT Performance Monitor," March 1997.) Typeperf regularly generates reports containing the values of Performance Monitor counters and reports those values to Stdout. Performance Monitor generates similar reports, but Typeperf is unique because it gives users a wealth of possibilities for output redirection. And speaking of performance, if you're trying to track down a memory leak, you need Supplement Three's Dotcrash. Dotcrash forces NT to perform a memory dump of a running process.
Finally, Supplement Three includes Windows Scripting Host. WSH has been available for downloading for a while, but if you don't already have the software, obtaining a copy of WSH is another benefit of downloading Supplement Three.
Supplement Three is worth a look. If only Microsoft would support those applications!Corrections to this Article:
- This Old Resource Kit: "Supplement Three" states that to get the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit, Supplement Three, you must join Microsoft Press' ResourceLink and download the file. You can also find Supplement Three on TechNet's Server Utilities CD-ROM (January 1999) under \winnt\reskt4u3\x86\fulntrki.

Last month I wrote about the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) plan to make safety recommendations regarding aged and recalled tires. The Board's recommendations were a culmination of more than a year's study of four wrecks caused by tire failures that took numerous lives and caused several injuries. The tires that failed were either recalled or aged tires. I have written about the dangers of aged tires and the cases we have handled, but the extreme safety issue caused by recalled (defective) tires that remain in use is frightening.
In its report, the NTSB noted that only 44 percent – fewer than half – of all tires recalled for safety problems are actually removed from roadways. This is due to an ineffective and broken system that leaves drivers and their passengers at risk. A lack of information is partly to blame, but misinformation has also been problematic, the agency said. The NTSB said:
The current tire registration process has proven to be ineffective in enabling tire manufacturers to compile complete and accurate customer contact information, which is vital to ensuring the success of a tire recall.
The NTSB took issue with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), which it said relies on a cumbersome online tool that could mislead consumers into thinking their tires haven't been recalled. In order to combat the confusion surrounding tire recalls, the NTSB recommended that NHTSA develop a database that would allow dealers to register tire owners when they make a purchase, storing customers' email addresses and other contact information in case of a recall. The tire identification and recall system, which have relied on manual review of hard to find information, must be automated in order to alert techs – and consumers – to tire service life recommendations and recalls. With automated tire tracking, these critical elements of tire safety come together, and service techs can tell a consumer with the swipe of a scanner if a particular tire is recalled and if it's at the end of its service life.
Tire manufacturers could also do more, such as posting regular updates about recalls in prominent locations on their websites and including identification numbers on both sides of tires, the agency said. The NTSB added that consumers should be able to search for recalls by either tire identification numbers or by brand and model through manufacturers and NHTSA.
The NTSB should be commended. The tire identification and recall system is broken and has cost the lives of too many innocent victims. The tire industry and NHTSA need to follow suit and act before another life is lost or lives are drastically changed.

This question is constantly brought up by my clients. What's your insight on free vs paid apps? Which one is better? My first response is usually "Would you rather pay for an app or get it for free?" Beyond the obvious everyone likes a deal thought, you really don't have to look any further than the Top Grossing apps on the App Store, which shows that there are only three out of the top 50 apps that are paid. So, my simple answer is usually "go with free."
But let's look a bit deeper. Most are familiar with Distimo's report last year that showed how many downloads it takes in the various app categories to reach the top 25. Now, since this report is from May 2012, we can probably assume that the numbers have increased (probably quad-fold (is that a word?). Regardless, the trend is most likely the same this year as it was last year … you get more downloads as a free app than as a paid app. So you can deduce Continue reading

Turtle Beach by Rex Resorts - Reader Reports & Opinion
Guest Report
P Richards from U.K. visited in April 2006 and awarded
On reading your review stating that staff attitudes seemed to be dependant on the teatment they received from their guests then I would have to disagree. Many staff were outstanding doing all they could to make our stay pleasant and enjoyable, however there did seem to be an undercurrent of bad feeling and unfriendly attitudes towards guests from certain members of staff. One particular chef (egg chef), a female was brilliant, chatting and joking with my daughter(9yrs) most mornings, being patient while she made her choise of eggs and reaching over to get her plate seeing as she is small. However one particular morning she had been replaced with another female who was nothing other than rude, impatient and ignorant to my daughter -with my daughter saying nothing other than "fried egg please" I wonder how that warrants the behaviour she received. Bar staff were also abrupt and unfriendly however, this may be explained by the severe understaffing of the bars and the volume of work the bar persons were doing.
The location is fantastic, the hotel is not perfect but is perfectly acceptable and comfortable, some of the staff are brilliant. The watersports staff are a credit to the hotel - always friendly, happy and singing just can't do enough for you. With just a little more of a friendly attitude from some of the other staff this holiday could have been our best ever on a truly wonderful island.
Guest Report
Marian Vessey from U.K. visited in April 2006 and awarded
We stayed at Turtle Beach by Rex in April primarily to see the turtles laying their eggs and we were not disappointed with this aspect.We were alerted after registering for this when it happenned.
The hotel is all inclusive but we felt there was not enough choice with the food and drink outlets and the restaurant is not air conditioned so we often left our meal after the main course because the heat was unbearable.
The rooms were adequate and overlooked the beach which was an excellent location, and were kept very clean by the staff.
Generally the resort needs a facelift but the staff were polite and helpful in everywhere except the bar and at times it seemed too much trouble for them to go the extra mile to please guests.
overall it was good value for money,in a superb location.
Guest Report
Lynda Gaskin from U.K. visited in March 2006 and awarded
We had a beautiful holiday at Turtle Beach Resort, and went all inclusive the accomadation, albeit basic, was clean & tidy, the food was very good with an amazing choice, we espically liked the afternoon tea and cakes!! couldn't fault the staff in any way, very polite and helpful.
The surroundings where kept spotless.
The evening entertainment was a bit hit and miss but as we don't really pick a holiday for that it didn't matter to us.
Loved the pool and bar area, loved the Island, we took a car out for several trips exploring around the island and going out to local markets. A trip to the wilder side of the island is a must as is trying the local restaurants.
Turtle Beach itself was amazing, beautiful golden beach, the fisherman brought there catch into the bay and sorted out the fish, wonderful to watch, espically the pelecans swooping down to try and get their dinner!! topped off by seeing 2 beautiful leather back turtles coming ashore to lay their eggs, we watched them for hours until they went back into the sea, what a sight, the shell of one of them was over 2 meters in length.
We loved Tobago and will one day return.
If Henry is still there under his Mango tree on the beach making sandles, then you must have a pair made mine are still going strong and are so comfortable.
Guest Report
John And Elisabeth Small from U.K. visited in February 2006 and awarded
My wife lives for tennis; the 2 courts were in appalling shape.
The rooms were not well cleaned and the supply of towels and wash cloths was un-predictable.Not enough beach chairs or shade
provided. Food was fair.
We did enjoy the turtle and bird watching.
Guest Report
Chris Shovelton from U.K. visited in January 2006 and awarded
Rex hotel was poor with late servicing of rooms so that often there were no fresh towels even by teatime.
Everything was scruffy, the main complex smelt of frying food and the food itself looked most unappetising.
Car park is like a bomb site,lord help you in the rainy season.
Staff did their best but seemed unable to answer the numerous complaints we saw people making during our weeks stay.
Rooms were like chalets. Best avoided unless you want a 1960s Butlins experience.

Pain of Post Inguinal Hernia Surgery
I went in on March 4th, 2009 at 8AM and came out by 11AM. I was feeling great thinking everything was fine 'n' dandy but as I got off the bed to change out of the hospital gown into my clothes I fell next to the bed. The anesthesia was still in my system and my left leg was numb (they forgot to mention this to me). After waiting an hour, I was able to change in to my clothes and leave the hospital. They had given me a pain pump which had a pipe going in to my skin near my abdominal area to provide numbing medicine in the incision area.
Came home got the rest I needed and later that evening I started taking my prescription pain reliever medicine, Vicodin. 10PM as I slowly walked to the bathroom like an ape with my hunched back and legs spread open I fell again. This was supposedly the anesthesia leaving my system and mixing Vicodin causing my blood pressure to drop dramatically. Lucky for me my sister is a nurse and was nearby to help and give me salt water and Gatorade to bring it back up a little. Then at 12AM, my second attempt to go to the bathroom ended up the same way with me laying beside the toilette wanting to vomit but no energy to do so and when something did come out, it was just water since I had not ate all day.
After that first day, the next four or five days were probably the most painful days of my life (thus far). Very painful to move or walk at all and sleeping was an obstacle of its own. Was only allowed to sleep on my back (couldn't turn even if I wanted to because of the pain). Vicodin would keep me constipated and drowsy and didn't feel like it was easing the pain until I stopped taking it and realized how bad the pain got without it.
After struggling the first few days, I was told by my Doctor's office I had to force myself to walk (even if it hurt) otherwise I would not heal fast. Keeping in mind that I am getting married on April 11th, 2009 I had to speed up this healing process. So I walked around the house back and forward after the few days as much as I could and the fifth day, it was time for me to remove my pain pump. I can't believe they expect a patient to do this himself at home. It was a five inch catheter (pipe/tube) that went inside me which I had to pull out on my own. As I mentioned earlier, lucky for me my sister was a nurse or I would be freaking out.
Pain felt worse after that was removed since there was no more numbing medicine being applied. After the first week had passed, I was able to walk more and became more tolerant to pain. It has been two weeks now and I'm feeling much better. I still have my sterry strips over the incision area and waiting for them to come off. They did not use any stitches to close the open area so I'm waiting to see what it will look like once these fall off (suppose to take two weeks so any day now).
So if you are ever have to get a Hernia Surgery then take my advice, WALK! Build that pain tolerance and walk as much as you can, it really does help heal faster.
Have you had a Hernia Surgery before? What was your experience like?

Just came back from my post surgery visit to the doctor's office. Turns out that my On-Q pain pump which was suppose to provide numbing medicine was possibly faulty because I wasn't suppose to be in that much pain.ReplyDelete
I see why most people chose not to go with Kaiser Permanente for insurance =/
Malik, I just had 2 moles removed and surgery sucks.ReplyDelete
Hope you feel better soon.
Ouch that doesn't sound fun. I'm feeling much better thanks, hope you heal soon as well.ReplyDelete
I had my inguinal hernian surgery on the 2nd of April. Timings were exactly the same as yours. Surgery went fine and as soon as i woke up, i felt the horrible pain in my lower abdomen. It was an 8 on a scale of 10. The medication took care of it. I was told i cannot leave until i pass urine. On my first attempt to pee after 2-3 hours of my surgery iwasnt able to even get out of the ned so the nurse got me a bottle. I passed 600cc of urine and she was quite surprised. It was a good sign though.ReplyDelete
Came back home and took my rest. The pain is usually worse in the next 2 days. Going to the bathroom was a painful mission. But i kept myself moving about as much as i could and it did speed up the healing process. Its gonna be a week since i had my surgery tommorrow and i would say i have recovered pretty fast. I remember taking the prescribed painkiller only twice uptil now im still constipated though but medication takes caree of that too I walk for about 10mins every couple of hours. And every day the pain gets better and better. I have never slept on my back so this week has been very uncomfortable. Tonight i am sleeping on my left side for the first time. It doesnt hurt at all so im willing to take the risk. (surgery was on right side).
If i keep going like this i should be able to use the stairs in another week or so. So take my advice, try to stay in motion after ur surgery. Your body must get used to it and the sooner it does, the better.

Thanks for sharing your story! I just had open bilateral inguinal hernia surgery 5 days ago. I must say that I haven't (yet) experienced a lot of pain aside from the soreness and 'fullness.' I took pain medicine once, as a way of trying to sleep, but I didn't really need it. I don't think I have a high pain tolerance, but now I'm worried that I might get pain later. After surgery, I was walking around pretty normal, but spent most of my time in bed. The second day was the worst! I couldn't move and since I was trying not to strain or pull something, I had the worst lower back and stomach pain (aka, belt pain) from sleeping so still (I'm assuming). I've gotten better and have been able to move around better, and when I stand up now, I don't feel that pulling sensation anymore. I still can't sleep past 4 am because I keep waking up with that 'belt pain' but once I get up and sit down, I feel better. This may sound superficial, but I'm more worried about the scars that will be left...well, that and I want to make sure I never go through this again! I notice that the more days that pass, the better I feel and the more comfortable I am with moving around. Luckily for me, I had a lot of help at home....I couldn't imagine being alone for the recovery! I think that moving around does help speed recovery and help with pain. I guess everyone has different recovery rates, but so far, I'm glad I went through and got this done with...take care!ReplyDelete
I'm glad your recovery is going much faster than mine did. I wouldn't worry too much about the scar. It does leave one no doubt but I guess you get use to it and doesn't seem that big after a couple of months. I'm curious if you were given the pain pump?ReplyDelete

I had my inguinal and umbilical hernia surgery yesterday at 7:00 am. I thought I would try to do it without pain medicine. I made it till 7:00 last night. I had been up and moving quite a bit, I pushed it too much on the pain scale and got nauseous, started sweating and nearly fainted. Fortunately I didn't get sick, I can't imagine throwing up so soon after surgery. Anyway piece of advice, use the pain medicine early and start moving as soon as possible. Trust me it does hurt quite a bit; but it's now 7:00 the 2nd night and there is some improvement. I think it is because I have been up standing and walking quite often. Unfortunately I have not been able to have a bowel movement yet, but I was able to urinate right after surgery. I plan to back off the pain medicine tomorrow and hopefully completely off the next day. I workout five days a week, the last three months I did lots of ab work I thought it may help in my healing. Now I am wondering if the increased muscle mass in that area might be causing more pain, don't know for sure; but if you are thinking like I was I would think twice about it. But we will see how quickly I recover if it was worth the possible pain. Also I don't know if having both surgeries at the same time was a great idea because it covers such a vertical area of my abdomen it seems really tough to get up and down; but it may have made little difference. Although both at once sounded good to get it over with. Anyway I hope to be more mobile soon. Hope this information may be helpful to some of you. At least it has helped me take my mind off the effects of surgery. Thank God for my wife I would not want to be alone. Good luck Hernia Club members lets keep on movin!!!!ReplyDeleteReplies

I just had my hernia surgery Thursday and I still ain't have a BM yet. And my whole stomache has stitches etc i wish I never got this done I was walking and everything I hurt more today than I did in the beginning but I had my husband and my mother in law helping me get betterDelete
So I had bilateral inguinal surgery 5 days ago. First 3 days were pretty terrible. I have been trying to walk, but it just takes it out of you. The fourth day was the best. However, still in pain. I tried to space out my pain meds today, and it left me in a lot of pain and really nauseous. I am not going to throw up like this. Coughed a few times and that was bad enough. I was going to try and go back to work tomorrow, but just tried to ride in a car to my inlaws and I realized that IReplyDelete

I posted anonymous on Oct. 8th. It's been just past five weeks since my surgery. Took pain medicine first and then second night, switched to ibuprofen for the next two days, than stopped taking any pain medicine at all. Pain was much less on third day and not bad at all after day five. Started light weight training after two weeks and still training fairly light now. I think now that the ab and lower back training that I did helped me recover quite quickly. I had both hernias done open with mesh. I had choose open because it had less chance of complications and less likely the hernias would return. Although I did find some conflicting data on the subjects, the majority read that open was safer with the only down side being a little longer recover time and a scar. But being male I don't wear a bikini, so I don't care about a scar. I just wanted the best chance of not having these hernias return. Hope my comments on the 8th. of Oct. don't scare you from getting your surgery down. It is way worth the short amount of pain to get my body back to normal. I would do the surgery again for sure. Good luck , get it fixed and start moving quickly. Eat smart with lots of fiber and get off pain medicine as soon as possible. Hope all goes well!ReplyDelete

I had open inguinal surgery Jan 15 2010. Yeah, the pain really sucks. I had spine surgery in 2005 and that pain is nothing compared to this surgery. It's been 4 days of painful hell for me. The meds did nothing for this kind of pain.ReplyDelete

I am scared but scheduled for the Inguinal surgery. I am wondering about the Pain pump. Is it a device that is going to be transplanted, or something that have to carry with cloths.ReplyDelete
I had my surgery for my hernia on Friday June 4th 2010. Its been 5 days and I still can't walk. The pain is so bad the doctor changed my pain medicine to Oxy Codine. After 4 days of intense pain I forced myself take a bowell movent. I was in so much pain I screamed. I am still waiting to be able to move without the feeling of knife being plunged in my groin.ReplyDelete
I cannot sleep except on my back and I havent moved in days. I cannot express how painful this has been.
I feel that I was under the pretense that it was a simple and common procedure with low to moderate pain. I feel as though a knife is being stabbed into my groin. I often moan with agony.
I am 23 years old and used to be model. I am in good shape and should be able to recover.
Can anyone explain my experience? I am afraid the doctor may have not performed a proper surgery since I am such pain and after 5 days unable to stand at all.
Hi Andrew, I know exactly what your going through. I had gotten my surgery through Kaiser and they gave me a faulty pain pump which was suppose to provide numbing medicine and didn't do the job.ReplyDelete
I have to say, it is true what the doctors tell you though. You really have to push yourself and try to move around and walk. As it is your already in pain, might as well suck it up and tolerate a little more pain and make it heal faster instead of being in pain for a longer period of time.
It's been over a year and I've been doing great. I still have not had any other pain in my life I can compare to with the post hernia surgery pain but surely tested my pain tolerance.
Make sure your eating properly, your body will need the energy to tolerate the pain. Do let me know how long it takes you to recover.
Wish you best of luck!

I had my inguinal hernia surgery today at 11am. I am in so much pain right now. I don't want to think what will be tomorrow. I've been on vicodin, but reading this post make me think that I need to start walking asap...I work out 5 times a week, does anyone knows how soon should I come back to work Out??? :)ReplyDelete
Were you given a pain pump? It shouldn't take more than week for you to get back on your feet. I was told the more you attempt to walk, the faster your recovery will be.ReplyDelete
Also, my situation was slightly different than most since my pain pump itself didn't work causing more pain.
Best of luck!

I know this is an old thread, but I'm sure that it might benefit those that will be googling "inguinal hernia recovery." I had surgery done three days ago to repair a right inguinal hernia. The method used was open with a mesh. I will say that there was some pain, but very bearable. I held off with the pain meds until I had to go to sleep the first night. Then I used it sparingly. Being that it's only the third day, I think the second day was definitely harder than the first, and now the third.ReplyDelete

To the most recent Anonymous user, I honestly don't know enough about how different it is for a woman compared to a man but I know men don't have it as often as women do. I would consult with your doctor before making a decision on getting it or not. Sometimes you can have the hernia and not need the surgery at all. Wish you best of luck and remember, mine was a rare situation, doesn't happen to everyone.ReplyDelete

A heria never gets better. I've had one for 5 years and it's get to the point that its got to be done. I've had a number of surgeries. One being a rotator cuff repair. The thing is if you don't get it fixed and your intestine are strangulated then your going to end up crapping in a bag. The sooner you get it done the better.ReplyDelete
I suppose every situation is different, yours seems a lot more severe than what I had. I had mine for about 15 years before it started causing any sort of pain or discomfort at all.ReplyDelete

Had right side inguinal hernia surgery yesterday and after surgery and coming home I thought it wasnt so bad. However today Im in the worse pain I ever recall. As soon as I got out of bed I had the incision area pain and a pain right on my hip that circles around to lower back. Aweful. Cant even consider how a bowel movement will feel. I have taken milk of magnesia hoping to lessen that pain. I had a small hernia that wasnt protruding but thought it best to get taken care of now. All I can say is I would NEVER do this again unless absolutely necessary. I do hope others will do better than myself.ReplyDelete

I had inguinal left side hernia surgery on Dec. 10, 2012 for a hernia that developed about 6 weeks before that. Quite large. The procedure and recovery went fine for six days, and then the pain began to build along the incision (which had been glued shut, no external stitches or clips) until it was almost unbearable. Surroundings would just disappear in a red haze. Movement of any kind was just agony. I had increased the vicodin intake (along with a laxative)and spent the next two weeks in a vicodin fog as the pain very, very slowly diminished. The doctor checked everything and spoke about "aggravating the nerves along the incision..." The vicodin script was for 3-4 days at a time, roughly four per day, and I had to call and whine to the dr's office to get refills. Quite demeaning. Fortunately, I had kept my truss and wearing that helped to immobilize the incision. Slept upright in a lounge chair. I cut the vicodin in half on the 3rd and stopped completely yesterday. The site is still very sensitive and I try very hard to not sneeze. I'm 70, and have had back and shoulder surgery before but nothing before as painful as this for this long a time. In previous cases I had stopped pain meds in just a few days. One problem for me is that I can't take ibuprofen.ReplyDelete
Advice: start the vicodin hours before the numbness wears off. Be extremely careful about movement for at least a month. Take a laxative daily for the whole month, if not longer, until there is no pressure on the incision site. From what I've read, it seems that about 60% of patients have real pain problems with this surgery.
Response to post from Dec 21st... I hope you are feeling better by now. Sad that you had to have it right before the holidays but I would have to agree with you in having to do it again. I would only put myself in the same situation if it was absolutely necessary otherwise I would just deal with it (couple of Doctors I saw said the same thing).ReplyDelete
Response to the post this morning, sounds like an awfully painful experience, I can relate although I was told the faster you move and force yourself to walk, the faster you will heal. I agree with the advice you provided with vicodin and perhaps the laxatives as well but would highly encourage others to try to move around as much as possible and not wait for a month. Be very careful but walking is the best way to healing faster. Hope you are well now.ReplyDelete

Add'l advice: I forgot to add that regular use of ice packs helped quite a bit for immediate albeit short term pain relief.ReplyDelete
I have been operated with the Dwarfs method for 4 days now.. Pain was intense for 2 days to the point of teeth chattering. Made the mistake of overdosing on Oxicodone. I had taken a trip to hell with mild physcosis. Not good to stitches in an emergency. I was able to.get over that jump but the back pain is worse than the inguinal hernia repair. Feels like a hot knife stab in the front and then it comes out the back. It's slowing my walking progress and I have to ice my back before I walk to full the pain. Never would I have though gt my back would be the problem. I can deal with the surgery but my back it's a different type of intense pain. I just hope it doesn't last much longer. My wife thinks it's because I have no muscle strength to keep the weight off my back when standing erect.ReplyDelete

I had open inguinal hernia on march 28 2013. The surgery went fine only to wake up with some pain and numbness on my stomach because the doctor tried to do my surgery laparoscopic but due to scar tissue from previous C-sections he had to preform open surgery. In other words I had both procedures. The pain was more intense than my C-sections. My first five days was horrible. Getting in and out of bed was a very painful experience. The pain medication they gave me was lortab and was not strong enough. Going to the bathroom was a hell of an ordeal. So I learned to pee standing up. For us women this is unusual but let me tell you it works because you don't stress so much the incisions. I have heal well but I still feel numbness on my stomach and my incisions. Its been two month since my surgery and had my last check up with my doctor who told me I could resume my life with caution. I try to start walking and short distance running and I been in pain on my pelvic areaReplyDelete
for a few days. My belly looks bigger than before and I have this constant soreness in my private area. I been researching for post op information and found out a lot of thing that could happened after surgery. Something my doctor never warn me about. Now I am scare that this discomfort will never go
away and I'll be pain free. I am trying to loose some weight to see if my belly will go down because it is freaking me out to see that bulge in front of me. I tell you what if I new then what I know now I would have not chosen
surgery and would have waited until it was really necessary. So my advice
to you is if your hernias are small and you don't have much pain educated your self. Having the surgery doesn't warranty that you'll be without pain. There is some complication that could come along with the surgery and it all depends how your body heal. So educated yourself before, so you don't wander like me if you made the right decision. I am going to hold on in doing anything strenuous for another 2 month and see if the numbness on my belly and the pain and discomfort on my crotch goes away. Hope my experience help someone that is going thru what I am going thru.

I agree with lots of the comments. Day after the meds wear off tolerable pain started. Pain wasn't too bad,but I think the sooner you start moving the better. just move slowly and cautiously. First bowel movement was my biggest concern. Take a stool softener and DON'T RUSH BOWEL movement. take your time and try to relax. Haven't taken too many meds, (bed time) pain isn't too bad. A toilet extender helps quite a bit also. Its only been 3 days and so far I think its most important to not just lay around. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, hope some of this helped.ReplyDeleteReplies

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) is gaining momentum. It requires merchants (and providers) to "use strong cryptography and security protocols such as SSL/TLS or IPSEC to safeguard sensitive cardholder data during transmission over open, public networks." when dealing with credit card numbers and account information.
One aspect of securing the data is the encryption of the communication between the browser (client) and the server. Most of our customers use Apache web server, and by default, this lets clients use weak encryption protocols and ciphers, mainly for backward compatibility with old browsers.
We recommend our customers to include these Apache configuration directives in their ssl.conf file. In fact, all our VPS images include this by default:
# use strong SSL protocols, specially do not enable SSLv2 SSLProtocol -ALL +SSLv3 +TLSv1 # Do not accept weak SSL ciphers from clients. SSLCipherSuite ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!LOW:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM
If you own a SSL certificate, you can test it along with the server configuration using this excellent service from SSL Labs.

When Luke Fitzwilliam encounters a timid old lady on a train travelling to Scotland Yard, the retired policeman makes light conversation. What he discovers is that she is travelling to report a series of murders, and she believes that there will be more. She even names the next victim, Dr. John Humbleby. He takes her for a delusional old woman and ignores her. However, days later, he finds an obituary which confirms her prediction. He travels to the village and melds in with the crowd to try and find the murderer. What he discovers is that in this idyllic village, the murderer can be anyone, and he can trust no one. Can Luke solve the murders in time, or will there be more victims to one mad man's lunacy? read less...
