Hernia repairs (inguinal and incisional ) are so common to have been under-rated as simple procedures which lacks specialisation. But the first time is the best time for a successful hernia outcome, both in the short term and in the long term.
Department of Hernia Surgery
Hernias when complicated can even be life threatening. Repair of large and complex hernias requires special expertise and understanding of the principles. Hence, at GEM we have a dedicated department for laparoscopic hernia surgeries and all laparoscopic hernia surgeries are being performed at the institute. The department tales pride to have been performing complex procedures like anterior /posterior component separation, retro-rectus approach for incisional hernias, venetian blinds technique for divarication of recti, concomitant ventral hernia repair with bariatric surgery etc, which has helped us to report the lowest possible recurrence rate compared to any best centre in the world. Now, with the introduction of 4K laparoscopy, 3D imaging module and the da Vinci Robotic system, this has only gotten better.

A Winter Solstice Celebration
Author: Didi Lemay
Publisher: AuthorHouse
From the author's site: A Winter Solstice Celebration" helps children and adults alike to understand how the animals feel about their planet, how humans can help and how and how humans and animals can live together in harmony. A Winter Solstice is warm story that relates to all who read it.
A Winter Solstice Celebration takes young readers deep into the forest, where they discover how seemingly harmless human activities can wreak havoc on the natural world.
This was a cute story that I think most kids will like to read. It teaches a good environmental lesson. It also shows how one person's voice can make a difference. I think my kids will enjoy the book. The illustrations were really nice, and I wish there had been more of them.
One thing I didn't like about the book was the format. I'm a bit picky, but the white lettering on blue background made it hard to stay focused. I also didn't like the use of all capital letters. But, I think this is just a personal preference.
To read more about the author, Didi LeMay, visit her website: Didi LeMay
* I have been provided a complimentary copy of A Winter Solstice Celebration for review by Author DiDi LeMay through an e-mail from The YP Publishing. By receiving a complimentary copy, I am in no way obligated to write a good or bad review. I am an honest reviewer and my reviews are based on my own opinion and only written by me. - Kari*

Johan, convicted for the murder of his father and sister, has been locked up in a TBS clinic (a hospital for criminals with a psychical disorder) for years. When he hears he will be transfered to a Long Stay ward – where nobody has ever been released from – he hopes his mother, who he hasn't spoken for years, will come to his hearing so she can tell the judge he didn't murder his sister, that his father abused him and was about to abuse his sister and that Johan therefore killed his father. However, his mother doesn't turn up. Realizing he's out of options, he escapes, determined to find his mother, so she can write a statement saying what really happened. Pretty soon however, he gets pursued by the police and in a rather desperate attempt to stay out of their hands, he kidnaps a 13-year old girl, Tessa. Together they drive through the Netherlands and Belgium to find his mother.
I love this movie! The acting is great and the plot is very good. Theo Maassen plays a strong main character which draws you in. You begin to like him, but he plays is very subtle and you feel his edges from the beginning. It's a guy you're not sure if you can trust him or not. Was he wrongfully convicted or is he the beast that others perceive him to be. It gives the movie a strong foundation and he maintains a great performance throughout. A couple of others in the theater weren't able to totally separate his movie character from his career as a comic, resulting in some laughs in the audience in some strange places in the movie. Nothing to blame on Maassen though, he did great. The girl in this movie is brilliant. It's the first role of Lisa Smit (only 13 or 14 herself) and she plays her character very well. She is a typical teenager, with all the problems and issues that girls have at that time in their lives. The plot of the movie had a nice pace and the tension is built up nicely. There is never a dull moment and almost all plot twists are believable. Only problem I had was a strange scene involving a group of journalists. The way they behaved seemed a bit contrived and purely there to help the story forward. They didn't fall in the current Hollywood trap of making a movie too long, it's perfect as it is, an hour and a half of pure entertainment.

|This one is a little less obvious. Kit Harrington who plays Jon Snow on the HBO Thrones, does the voice for this character in Dragon 2, hence this image.
The above poster is a 'spoof' on : http://www.moviedeskback.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/all-men-must-die-game-of-thrones-poster.jpg
Lastly, the above image spoofs House Stark's sigil (as seen on HBO posters http://fangirlshub.com/fgh/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/wallpaper-stark-1600-290x290.jpg ).
I enjoy both Thrones and Dragons so this neat to see. And after season 4 ends, I'll get my big fantasy fix by seeing the second film in theaters.

The task of making school lunches each morning can be daunting and stressful. Here are a few tips and tricks to provide nutritious, stress-free lunches throughout the school year and throw in some extra creativity when you're feeling inspired or have a little spare time.
22 Great Local Family-Friendly Field Trip Ideas
Why should the kids have all the fun? We've asked our Y Camp counselors for their favorite adventures around the Sound and compiled them here. Some are classics - but places you might not have thought about for a while - and others are tucked away in places with names you may not recognize. All are a lot of fun and provide unique experiences for the whole family.
Y Swim Lessons & Water Safety
Make sure your whole family stays safe and has fun while you enjoy the water this summer. Enrolling your kids in swimming lessons, learning CPR and educating yourself about water safety are three excellent steps. We've compiled information and resources on swimming and water safety to make the process a little easier.
Everything's Swimming at the Y!
There's a reason why the Y is referred to as America's Favorite Swim Instructor. In a Y class, you are not only taught in a caring way how to swim, but you also learn about yourself, about safety and rescue skills, and about water activities you can enjoy for a lifetime. In this article you'll learn about YMCA Swim Program Options, How to Help Your Child Prepare, How to Know if They're Ready and Water Safety.
YMCA Preschool Child Care: Confidence Grows Here
Starting early at the Y means your child acquires important life-skills that build confidence and form a strong foundation for the years ahead. Watch how that foundation starts in this short video on Preschool Child Care at the YMCA.
What Happens At Summer Day Camp
Y Summer Camps help kids grow and have fun through exploring the outdoors, building self-confidence and independence, learning core values, developing life skills and - most importantly - being active.

Making Friends at Summer Camp
At the Y, making friends is viewed as one of the most important aspects of camp and a process that we can help nurture. Here are a few insights into our approach to friending at summer camp.
Making Summer Reading Fun
During the summer, children experience "summer learning loss" when they are not involved with opportunities for skill building. As a result, young people can forget up to two months particularly in the areas of reading and math. The Y is committed to year-round learning through Summer Camp and a number of other Y youth development programs that provide an expanded learning environment and engage kids experientially.

A very late post here as this dates back to April 2nd and that meant we'd cleared heroic content more than 2 months before Tomb of Sargeras is released, please Blizzard give us mythic content with flexible raid sizes. After 3 weeks of working on Gul'dan we decided, following on from a super fast normal […]
Time Ran Out For The Grand Magistrix
Once again the hard work put in on normals and on a wipefest the previous week paid dividends as Exhumed took great joy in this victory because it was so very inevitable despite her claims to the contrary. Next up is Guldan and he is another step up in difficulty as we discovered after this […]
Tel'arn's Corpse Will Make Fine Compost
After beating this tree hugging boss we promised to water his plants, but only after using his corpse as the finest compost Suramar's gardens has ever seen.
Exhumed Judged Etraeus and Found HIM Wanting.
Star Augur Etraeus gave us massive problems on normal and a tough fight was expected on heroic, however the work we put in on normal paid off as we defeated him in only a few pulls.
Tichondrius Thwarted
Tichondrius gave us a few problems and slowed us down for a week but once we mastered handling the Brand of Argus and absorbing the Essence of the Night from the bats in phase 2 Tichondrius went down with ease.
Mage Lady Aluriel Patrols No More
A day after slapping down Krosus the heroic raiders defeated Spellblade Aluriel (aka Mage Lady).

The cornea is the clear, dome shaped window of the eye. It has two primary functions. It protects the delicate inner structures of the eye and also refracts (focuses) light as it enters the eye and passes through the lens. It is avascular (without blood vessels) and therefore the only clear, transparent tissue in the body uniquely adapted for light to pass through. There are a number of conditions that can threaten the health of the cornea resulting in a loss of vision. The most common types of corneal problems are infections, diseases, degenerations, and trauma.
Infections of the cornea can be caused by bacteria, viruses (such as the herpes virus), funguses, or parasites. Infections of the cornea are typically characterized by redness, pain, mucus or teary discharge, and decreased vision. They require immediate attention.
Diseases of the cornea range from ocular involvement from systemic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis to specific genetic and acquired conditions that affect the cornea. Degenerations are conditions that occur with the aging of the eye such as pterygia, keratoconus, and various chemical deposits in the cornea.
Trauma to the cornea can result in lacerations, scarring, and corneal swelling (edema) that reduce vision. All of the above problems compromise vision by damaging the cornea and altering the quality of life. Consultation with a corneal specialist often times can help in the recovery from these types of problems and restoration of more normal vision.

Hurricane Hut
The Basics
A hurricane is one of nature's most awesome forces. Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research estimate that
a hurricane releases heat energy at the rate of 50 to 200 trillion watts - about the amount of energy released by exploding
a 10-megaton nuclear bomb every 20 minutes. Hurricanes are found all over the world, and are not always called hurricanes.
In the North Pacific Ocean hurricanes are called Typhoons, and in the South Pacific and South Indian Ocean they are called
Cyclones. Whatever the name, a storm must have winds greater than 73 mph to be classified as a hurricane.
The Mechanics
A hurricane is basically a large storm, relatively speaking. Hurricanes are powered by warm water, and moist air, which is
why they are found in tropical areas. Hurricanes are a large, rotating system of clouds and thunderstorms which can cause
tremendous damage, the clouds from the hurricane eventually form outer spiral bands as the storm becomes stronger. This is
called outflow, and helps the storm grow in size and strength acting as a chimney for the storm. The outflow releases the
dry air that the hurricane stripped the moisture of. Without this release, the hurricane would not be able to thrive. These
high outer bands and clouds give the hurricane its swirling appearance. Moist air is critical in maintaining a powerful hurricane.
The outer bands are generally able to keep dry air from entering the circulation, but when dry air is able to wrap its way
into the eye, the hurricane is in trouble. When the dry air enters the eye, it destroys the storms, and weakens the storm.
Without convection near the eye, the winds die down and the hurricane weakens.
The Eye
The eye of the storm is the calm center of the storm, which is usually calm and sometimes completely cloud free. Stronger
hurricanes tend to have larger eyes, and some weak hurricanes never develop a clear and distinct eye. The eye is the area
of sinking air inside the storm and is the center of cirulation. Eyes of hurricanes range greatly in size, sometimes as large
as 125 miles in diameter. Hurricane Wilma of 2005 had one of the smallest eyes ever recorded, due to the incredibly rapid
intensification. The eye later widened as Wilma underwent eyewall replacement cycles. Although the eye is the calmest area
of the storm, just outside the eye is the powerful eyewall; which is where the worst of the storm is found. The eyewall is
the strongest convection of the storm, wrapped around the eye. This is where the highest winds, heaviest rains, and most powerful
convection of the storm is found. Most damages by hurricanes are caused when the eyewall passes over land. In strong hurricanes,
the eyewall is very symmetrical, wrapping completely around the eye. In weaker storms, the eyewall may not even exist and
may be unevenly distributed around the eye. This is sometimes due to wind shear which blows the storm out of proportion, restricting
thunderstorms in certain areas. When the outerbands begin to gather intense convection, robbing the center of such, this is
known as an eyewall replacement cycle and usually weakens the storm temporarily. The outer eyewall eventually replaces the
inner eyewall, usually resulting in a larger sized eye.

It appears that Jonny Sexton won't miss the start of Ireland's Six Nations campaign.
It was feared that the out-half had suffered another head injury after he came-off in the opening minutes of Leinster's European Champions Cup defeat to Wasps at the Ricoh Arena, which had sparked concerns over his availability for the opening game against Wales.
However, the player is now settled into the Ireland training camp after Leinster head coach Leo Cullen revealed that the player passed a head injury assessment at the time.
"He clashed heads pretty early in the game, after about eight minutes," Cullen said this afternoon. "He went off and did his HIA (Head Injury Assessment) assessment and passed his questionnaire fine.
"He was ready to come back out but the docs just erred on the side of caution."
Wales coach Neil Jenkins feels Ireland would be affected should Sexton miss their RBS Six Nations opener in Dublin.
"In terms of the other 10s coming in they've got good players," Wales kicking coach Jenkins said ahead of the February 7 clash at the Aviva Stadium.
"But I've no doubt it will affect them.
"Johnny's a world-class player with his all-round ability and his all-round game.
"He's very good defensively and troubles you no end with his kicking game, whether he goes to the corners, goes aerially or attack kicks.
"He puts you under pressure with ball in hand and his kicking game – and when he plays he's a threat to any side."
Wales have their own fitness concerns ahead of the Dublin opener with flanker Sam Warburton and utility back Liam Williams on their way back from respective ankle and foot injuries.
Skipper Warburton played for the first time since the end of November in the Cardiff Blues' European Challenge Cup victory over Calvisano last Friday, while Williams has been sidelined since suffering a recurrence of a foot injury during the World Cup clash with Australia in October.
Both players could play for their regions this weekend, with Jenkins saying he expects Williams to figure for the Scarlets in their Guinness Pro12 trip to Connacht.
"Gats (Wales coach Warren Gatland) will have a discussion with the players and their regions but Liam needs game-time and Sam has stated he needs game-time," Jenkins said.
"I would have thought Liam plays this week for the Scarlets at Connacht but the final decision will be down to the boss 'Gats'.
"We will have to see how Liam plays and whether he plays the full game.
"We will have to see how the game unfolds."

I voted today.
I stood in line.
I wasn't the only one.
I almost bought into the lie
that the people in my community didn't care...
that they were unconcerned...
But as I stood in line today,
my heart beamed with pride
as I looked around and saw so many people
young and old,
some with children,
others with friends and family members -
all in line, like me, to make history.
I heard the influx of complaints from people about the long lines.
I heard the worried cries of those concerned about being late for work, and
I offered them a warm smile and a gentle reminder
as to why their presence and their vote was so important.
I gave up my space in line to let an elder -
who was there to vote for the first time in years
and who was late for work - cast her ballot before me.
I stood in line and laughed with my neighbors,
encouraged strangers and thanked God
for the presence of mind and spirit
to be part of this day in history.
I stood in line today and I voted
for the first Black man nominated for the U.S. Presidency.
I stood in line today - not alone - but in solidarity with my community.
No cameras...no news reporters to witness this amazing sight
of hundreds of people from my crime-ridden and drug-infested neighborhood
wait patiently to use the privilege that our ancestors
died to make available to us.
I, as I know everyone else who stood in line today,
will cherish this memory in our hearts.
We will be able to tell our children and our children's children
that we made history.
We stood in line today and cast a vote for a brighter America -
a place where hopes and dreams still abound.
A place where people can stand in line and change the course of history.
I stood in line today and my country is a much better place
because of my action and the action of all those who stood in line with me.

- Page 1 Lexmark X5650 All-In-One Inkjet Printer Review
- Page 2 Lexmark X5650 Review
- Page 3 Feature Table Review
- Page 4 Print Speeds & Running Costs Review
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £99.99
Lexmark has recently done the facelift thing on its range of home and school inkjet all-in-ones and the X5650 sits firmly in the middle of this market. At relatively low cost, the machine is designed for printing, scanning, copying, photo print and fax. Even with the new look, though, the print engine is little changed from its predecessors.
Borrowing something from Canon's curvy black and silver profiles, Lexmark uses mid-grey instead of silver and has designed its new machine with a wraparound effect, which is both functional and easy on the eye.
Lexmark has put a small handle on the right-hand side of the machine's paper feed tray, to adjust the paper guides without having to move them by hand. We can't see this as a big advantage and we also wonder about the sprung flap, sitting in front of the tray – as with so many recent Lexmark models. It doesn't appear to do anything useful. We thought at first these flaps were designed to stop dust falling into the feed mechanisms, but considering the size of the gap between this flap and the paper, it must be pretty ineffective.
The most interesting thing at the front of the X5650 is its two-line status display, which appears to be a white-on-black LED panel, rather than the more normal LCD. Although the size still restricts the display to around 16 characters and longer messages have to scroll to be read, the display is much brighter and higher contrast than any LCD and is easily read under low light.
The control panel is well laid out, with four silver mode buttons at the top, a power button to the left and a copy start button to the right. Below these are a number pad, menu control and specialist buttons for the address book, redial and other functions.
As well as memory card sockets for all the major card types, the PictBridge socket also takes a standard memory stick, by default downloading all jpeg and tif files found to a Lexmark application on your PC. It's also possible to select and print photos without a computer, using a proof sheet.
The Contact Image Sensor (CIS) scanner on top scans at up to 600 x 1,200ppi optically and the 25-sheet Auto Document Feed (ADF) is neat and sits flat on top of the scanner. You can scan to a PC or a flash drive plugged directly into the machine.
The X5650 runs on two cartridges, one black and the other tri-colour, but you can replace the black cartridge with a three-colour photo one to improve pastel shades. Once you've lifted the scanner section of the device, these two cartridges clip into a head carrier in standard Lexmark fashion and are easy to maintain.
Along with its looks, the supporting software supplied with the X5650 has been revamped. Although the copy of Abbyy Finereader OCR is as before, but other applications have been streamlined so, for instance, the Productivity Studio handles scanning, OCR, e-mailing and fax, as well as more standard photo manipulation. You can make posters and greetings cards using this software, too.

I find myself spending more and more time in kde4 lately. it's pretty, it's shiny, it has a twitter plasmoid! :) (my username is chanika, if you're wondering)
yesterday I discovered that scim now works in konsole, which removes my last reason for using kde3's konsole. I think I'm almost ready to use kde4 as my main desktop now. really the only things stopping me are that phonon isn't working properly and stuff is generally too unstable for me. my poor laptop is having enough of its own issues; I don't have time to deal with text input randomly not working in konq or plasma when I'm trying to do real work. I'm not even going to upgrade to gutsy any time soon. plus, I hate logging out, and I have to do that a lot with kde4 'cause I'm updating it so often. :) so for now it's running on another screen – I think as it stabilises, I'll start running kontact and knetworkmanager as my regular user – but in the kde4 screen – so that I have less and less need to jump to the kde3 desktop. that way I can spend more time in kde4, but have kde3 available to go back to if I need things to Just Work. kinda like dual-booting, really, but without the long switching time. :)
I'm a little lost when it comes to programming, though. I have some ideas about things that need doing, but none have really caught my interest. I always find it hard to start programming again after a break. I need to manage my time better, too… a million little things distract me and suddenly the day is over and I haven't actually gotten anything *done* :/
stuff has been happening out in the real world, though. saturday I spend almost 6 hours hiking – then had to quit halfway, at lunchtime (not that I actually got to sit and eat, it was just that time of day), when I found out there was a time limit and they'd start closing off the trail if we didn't go fast enough. o.0 obviously the chinese idea of a hike is somewhat… different. considering I've spent most of the last year sitting in class or in my room, it's kinda surprising I even lasted that long. it was fun, though – while I had trouble with the uphill parts (made worse 'cause I'd forgotten my inhaler) I zoomed down the hills, dodging around the people slowly picking their way down. I think about 90% of the people were going ultra-slow on the downhill. it was really frustrating when there wasn't any safe way to go around them, but in some areas there were loads of tree branches that could be used to climb down beside the trail. :) at one point I had to wait at the bottom of a hill for 10-15 minutes for the rest of my group to catch up. my knees and ankles weren't too happy with me, though. walking to the bus stop and from the bus stop back to the dorm wasn't so fun.
btw, I am writing this post from kde4. :) it's so nice to not have those wordpress bugs – now I just need to find out why I don't have java here.

The YCT 356S-S packs a lot of punch. Part of the East Wind family, they represent great value with a step up in performance and features. Designed to cut and push dirt, the YCT is your machine for cutting a driveway or track. It will make light work of levelling a pad for a shed or rainwater tanks and very handy for clearing scrub.
The 6 way blade gives you ultimate control. A simple joystick enables you to lift the blade up and down to control how much material you cut or push at a time. Angling the blade out to the left or right enables you to doze material out to either side while driving in a straight line. And being able to tilt the blade down to either the left or right enables ground to be cambered which is perfect for cutting drains or putting a slope on a driveway.
Combined with the ability to fit all kinds of PTO/3-point linkage implements, you have an incredibly versatile machine.
