Is a vertical incision really required for a central midline incisional hernia?
Doctor Answers 5
Hernia repair through abdominoplasty incision
From your description, it should be possible to repair that midline hernia through an abdominoplasty approach - a low horizontal scar around the height of your Caesarean scar. Most plastic surgeons are comfortable with repairing these types of hernias as part of our tummy tuck procedures - we see them frequently and just repair them as part of the procedure.
Good Luck

Is a vertical incision really required for a central midline incisional hernia?
Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
Hernia repair with Tummy tuck
Whether you have a tummy tuck or not it should be possible to approach your hernia via a tummy tuck incision which would be better hidden as you suggest in your question.
The only circumstance to use a vertical scar, would be if you have a pre existing vertical scar AND you do not have enough laxity to remove the old vertical scar as part of a tummy tuck.
I would need to examine you and ask more about the reasons you have been told not have further abdominal surgery however that is an unusual recommendation.
Best wishes

Vertical scar for incisional hernia repair?
The reasons your surgeon may have advised a vertical scar could be that they feel that you have inadequate laxity to allow a tummy tuck or that given you already have a vertical scar (assuming you do), then it is easier to utilise this scar rather than make a new one.
I suggest you discuss with your surgeon your concerns and wish you all the best with your surgery.

*no title*Mature
Twenty years later found Diango still alone. He looked four years older than when he had changed into a Tick demon (though that was all he would ever age), his parents had died of old age and he longed for a friend - someone to brighten his so very dull days. He even longed for a lover, as Tallulah had foreseen - someone with whom to share the long nights in the safe haven. He had found on one occasion that he was able to sleep, but that this sleep was dreamless and did nothing to alleviate the monotony of his living. He was one bored witless, and tired of loneliness, yet ever frightened of rejection. His only amusement had been a ball that bounced when dropped on the ground and the moving picture show of nature that surrounded him.

Mary Poppins and the Childcare Trap
I know several mums who are in the Childcare Trap right now. They desperately need to go back to work for financial reasons, but the cost of childcare – nursery and childminders, don't even mention nannies – is so prohibitive they can't afford it. Nursery places can now cost up to £20,000 a year in some parts of the country. Meanwhile childminders' fees have risen dramatically as well. In fact, childcare costs are rising faster than the rate of inflation in the UK .
Of course childminders and nursery workers deserve to be paid fairly. But it's pretty obvious parents need more help with childcare costs.
You don't necessarily get what you pay for, either. I live close to an area populated with nannies – the next best thing to a parent, you would think. Except that every day I see them taking their charges out for walks… but not interacting with the kids on any level, because their mouths are jammed to their mobile phones the whole time. Mary Poppins would, I'm sure, be horrified.
I'm not sure what the solution to the childcare problem is, but I think it's pretty obvious that the political parties will ignore it at their peril in the run-up to the election.
*What do you think about childcare costs?

Hi Liz, as a mum of twins I know what a problem this is, for a long time mums ot twins or triplets have been stuck in a limbo, mothers with jobs from receptionist, to teacher, to supermarket worker to nurse or social worker have put their lives on hold when their children were born, for many the constant stream of articles discussing "whether" a mum should go back to work has seemed totally irrelevant tot hem – many couldn't afford to even if they wanted. Personally I was happy that this this "dliemma" was taken away from me and I spent a long time at home with my babies, out of financial necessity as well as for any other reason. But of course there are many more with employers who want or need them back at work, with mortgages to pay and partners or husbands who don't earn enough to maintain their standard of living. One in 35 children born in this country is a twin so it would be good to see extra help. Right, will get off my soapbox now! Thanks for highlighting this problem. I hope your readers can also think of all those for whom the costs would be double or even triple so cannot even be attempted.
Sorry just wanted to add that our situation was that my partner wasn't earning anywhere near a high wage and that while parents of one baby may feel comfortable calling on a supportive nan or grandma for childcare, this can also be a less likely scenario for families of multiple birth children. More than one at once have more of a tendency to tire you out!
When I was nearing the end of my maternity leave, I started looking at the cost of nursery. We didn't REALLY have enough to live comfortably but if I went back to work full time with full time nursery we would have lost money every month. We really had no choice but I also didn't WANT to go back to work. I wanted to be the one to be there for my child for everything, not some random person. My husband was able to get a modest pay rise which helped but our life is quite different as we're only on one income. I would like to take advantage of nursery now, for my daughter's development and socialisation for even just a morning but our closest nursery would cost about £20-30 just for one morning. We can't afford that right now so Little Miss stays with Mummy!
Our circumstances are similar to Karin. Our lives have changed so much as we've been put in a position where unless I am earning a fair fortune we can't afford childcare and at £10-£20 per hour for a local nursery it's also out of the question. It's a ridiculous situation because we can barely afford to live on one salary, but we'd be even worse off on two! I have even been in a situation where I took on a six month contract, which at the time seemed to work great – the childcare element of working tax credits seemed to cover our childcare costs easily. But at the end of the contract? We had apparently been overpaid by more than £1,400!!! (though how it's all worked out we'll never know). It's a catch 22…
There is help with childcare costs but it will most likely be means tested, through Child Tax Credits and the like. When Amy was in nursery I was lucky because my mum paid, but it was £22 a day (I know that will sound cheap compared to inner City fees, but it was actually expensive for this remote area) and that was a tiny little nursery in a tiny little village where I live, and it was 7 ish years ago. I dread to think what it costs now. I sent to Amy to a childminder for a few hours a day, not every day, I think it was three days a week. It was for respite. I know that sounds terrible because I didn't go out to work, but back then her autism was particularly difficult to cope with and I was learning the ropes, going on every course and workshop that I could. I remember the fees being expensive but worth it. There should definitely be help towards childcare. But it's like everything else, the rich will always be able to afford nannies who spend too long on their mobile phones and not enough with their charge, whilst those in the working and middle class brackets have to either give up their career, or simply scrimp and scrape. Like Sam says, it's a catch 22 situation for many. CJ xx

Used medical gloves are hanging up to dry on washing lines.
I spot a red blotted stain on one and can't help but feel a little squeamish knowing that these gloves will be used in the operating room again, and again, and again.
This is Gorkha Town Hospital in Nepal, a government-funded hospital for the past year. In other words, this is a pretty good hospital.
The acting medical officer, Dr Narad Thapaliya, takes me on a tour of the site, and leads me into an open-doored brick building with a large white sign reading "Emergency Ward" in red. An elderly woman with tuberculosis lays dishevelled on an old metal bed in a dark corner of the room. Uneven slabs of rock, probably found on the street are placed under the legs of the bed to keep it stable and even.
"We don't have a spare room for her at the moment," says Dr Narad.
In the same room are around 10 other patients varying in age and illness. Dr Narad points to where a young boy lies; his mother sits by him wiping a cloth over her son's forehead.
"He has pneumonia," says the doctor.
The doctor looks tired. He is the only operating doctor at the hospital, and this is yet another 11-hour-day shift for him.
My reason for wanting to visit a hospital in the province of Gorkha was to learn more about the effects of indoor air pollution (IAP). When low-quality solid fuel is used in poorly ventilated kitchens, IAP is the result. It's a very common issue in many developing countries including Nepal, where people rely on burning firewood to cook their food.
In the UK, we don't have to think twice about children developing Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) or women who cook being four times more likely to suffer from chronic bronchitis and cataracts. I couldn't help but feel angry at the fact that so many people living in poverty had illnesses caused by something as normal as preparing food.
I've been travelling around with the charity Practical Action whose work includes installing smoke hoods which reduce the level of IAP in the home.
I quickly learned that many patients were elderly women suffering from smoke-related illnesses such as severe asthma and acute bronchitis.
It's very difficult to convince patients that smoke caused by cooking using traditional stoves is the cause of their illness; for many it's the only way they know. Installing the safer option of a smoke hood - which costs 6,000 Nepalese rupees (around £35) - is simply not affordable for some.

England's coaches and players have set their sights on winning the Six Nations championship after narrowly failing to become the first side this year to defeat the All Blacks. England saw a 22-20 lead slip away in the final quarter but Saturday's stirring contest has convinced them they are capable of winning high-profile tournaments sooner rather than later.
Mike Brown, the home side's most consistent player of the autumn series, says the New Zealand result has merely made England hungrier. "We have a belief we can go on and win the Six Nations," confirmed Brown, acknowledging England must start lifting titles soon if they are to be serious contenders to win the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
England's captain Chris Robshaw, who suffered a sizeable black eye after a first-half collision, is also seeking a positive reaction when England regather in the New Year. "We are improving game by game, week by week and tournament by tournament and we must make sure we continue that. We've finished second now for the last two years and the only way for us to improve is hopefully to get the title. That's the aim. The good teams don't fall short. They take their opportunities."
Injury to the hooker Dylan Hartley, who has been released from hospital after receiving treatment for a bruised lung, did not assist England's cause on Saturday and Stuart Lancaster admitted he was disappointed by the inaccuracy which cost his side in the final quarter. "If we want to be genuine World Cup contenders we have to look at the areas which we didn't get quite right which put us under pressure," said the head coach. "During that five-minute period in and around their last try a couple of lineouts weren't nailed and a couple of our exits weren't good enough.
"Against a counterattacking side of the quality of New Zealand that is the difference between losing and winning. It was a game we could have won. We were winning the collisions, our forwards were on top but we didn't close out the game. We have lost two of our last 11 games and I will remember both defeats more than the victories. I am sure the players are the same."
Lancaster was, however, encouraged by his side's overall progress over the autumn as they build towards 2015. "From my point of view we've definitely made strides. The most important thing is that the belief is there within the players that they can do it. We've got a great group of young players who are going to be around way beyond 2015. New Zealand had nine players over 30 in their match-day 23. People say to me it's all about winning in the here and now but I don't think anyone would be happy if I picked a really experienced team that didn't quite have the legs to get to 2015. All roads lead to that and beyond."
Lancaster also stressed he hoped New Zealand, minus the injured Dan Carter and Tony Woodcock, beat Ireland this weekend and become the first Test team in the professional era to go through a calendar year unbeaten. "I went into their changing-room to say well done and congratulate them on their victory because they deserve that respect. I do hope they get that unbeaten record. I think they probably deserve it."
England and the All Blacks are due to play each other four times in 2014 but Lancaster will be unable to select his strongest side for their next meeting in the southern hemisphere on 7 June because it is too close to the previous weekend's Premiership final at Twickenham. "I don't think it renders the series meaningless but it's certainly not ideal. It was an inherited situation I found myself in. We'll still go into the first Test with 100% commitment to win it. For creating depth it's actually a good thing."
The fly-half Owen Farrell, either way, believes England still have plenty of improvement in them. "In the three weeks we have come so far. We're a good team and as we play together more we'll keep adding detail. It all builds up to the World Cup; that's the goal. Everyone wants to win that in 2015."

PHP Redirect
Tutorial on how to perform simple redirection with PHP.
Edited: 2014-10-04 12:12
The PHP Redirect performed by sending the HTTP Location Header to the browser, which can be done with the PHP Header function. The location should be sent a long with the relevant HTTP status message – the type of redirect is controlled trough a separate header sent by PHP. Its important to get both the location header, and the status message right.
The below example deals with a 301 Permanent Redirect – permanent redirection is performed for pages that have moved, this is done so that search engines will automatically recognize them as having been moved.
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] === '/my-old-page.php') { header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"); header('Location: http://brugbart.com/'); exit(); }
The $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable may not be the best way to perform your redirects, but it does give you a basic idea about how you can perform easily perform redirects.
The exit function placed on the last line, makes sure that any code coming afterwards, will not be run – you can combine this with an if, else check, for example to check if the page has been moved.
Redirecting Multiple Pages
The above example is not very suitable if you got a lot of pages that needs to be redirected – one way to redirect multiple pages, is to list them in an array first, and then loop trough this array.
Arrays can be constructed easily, one of the easiest ways is to do like below.
$OldPages[1] = 'Old-Page-1.php'; $OldPages[2] = 'Old-Page-2.php'; $OldPages[3] = 'Old-Page-3.php'; // etc...
You would then create an array containing all the new locations.
$NewPages[1] = 'http://brugbart.com/New-Page-1'; $NewPages[2] = 'http://brugbart.com/New-Page-2'; $NewPages[3] = 'http://brugbart.com/New-Page-3'; // etc...
These can then be checked for in our loop – the full code for this example, is provided below.
// Old Locations $OldPages[1] = 'Old-Page-1.php'; $OldPages[2] = 'Old-Page-2.php'; $OldPages[3] = 'Old-Page-3.php'; // New Locations Below! $NewPages[1] = 'http://brugbart.com/New-Page-1'; $NewPages[2] = 'http://brugbart.com/New-Page-2'; $NewPages[3] = 'http://brugbart.com/New-Page-3'; $MaxPages = count($OldPages); $Counter = 1; while ($Counter <= $MaxPages) { if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] === $OldPages["$Counter"]) { header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"); header('Location: ' . $NewPages["$Counter"]); exit(); } ++$Counter; }

Over the past 10 years, layers of government have multiplied, more regulatory bodies have been put in place, thousands of new laws have been passed and greater powers of surveillance have been accorded to the State. Yet as government activism has increased, so public confidence has fallen. How has this happened? In a new report I identify five techniques used by government to disguise failure as success.
First, moving goalposts. In the dilution of standards, selective use of statistics and manipulation of targets, the Government has relied on bending the rules of the game in order to claim success. The reality gap has widened; disbelief and disillusionment have set in, ministers cast around for new ways to convince us that life has got better.
Like putting targets into law: technique No 2. Having failed to meet its (redefined) intermediate targets to abolish child poverty, the Government is now legislating for its abolition. Just like the targets in the Climate Change Act, no one seriously believes this will make it happen.
The third technique is treating government as a public relations exercise, producing a stream of glossy brochures in the guise of departmental reports, consultation papers and "business plans".
Technique No 4 is the collection of vast quantities of data, placing a huge burden on public sector workers and volunteers. The fact that data has been collected does not mean it is used well, but it creates the appearance of compliance.
The fifth and final technique, overlaying all the rest, is complexity – of systems and language. From the elaborate structure of our tax and benefits system to multi-agency partnerships in children's services; from benchmarks and beacons to learning pathways and person-centred planning, this maze of jargon is not only confusing but potentially dangerous.
The only way to bridge the reality gap is to reduce State activism: cut the size of government, abolish targets, free up public services and charities, axe databases. If a new government can abandon the five techniques outlined here, it will not only cut public debt, it will also create a new age of honesty. But learning to let go will not be easy.

Dynafit TLT6 Performance CL Ski Boot
Designed and built for big ascents and technical descents, the Dynafit TLT6 Performance CL Ski Boots are not for the faint of heart. These expert level touring boots are built for the serious, committed, and sometimes crazy ski mountaineer. They're not only capable of skiing in technical terrain they kind of insist on it. The Pebax shell resists extreme cold and stands up to the conditions you'll find in the wild and rugged alpine, while a carbon fiber and Pebax cuff with a driving rear spoiler deliver security and power when every turn counts.But all this strength and capability shouldn't be intimidating, because these boots come equipped with foot loving Custom Light liners, which are anatomically shaped and moldable to every curve of your feet. Lightweight warmth gets a boost with additional felt and aluminum along the bottom of the boot to reflect heat. The newly re designed Ultra Lock System 2. 0 is designed for more fluid transitions with a shape that eliminates snagging. The downhill booster tongue can be inserted before the descent to boost the stiffness of the boot, while the Ultra Lock Strap eliminates excess space between the tongue of the boot and shin bone, giving the boots the ability to drive skis with power and precision. The sole of the TLT6s is designed with mountaineering in mind with an extra durable material in the heel and toe that can be resoled, if necessary. The forward insert can be adjusted between 15 and 18 degrees with a forward lean insert, while instep buckle features a micro adjustable design, allowing for an even more precise fit.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was sentenaced in fl to 18 mos for battery. the lazy PD failed to do her job, as I have found out most all are incompident.
A mechanism and procedural rule exist by which you can attempt to do so, but if literally everything went perfectly for you, exactly as planned; and each domino fell as you wished in sequence, the end result is that you would be returned to your previous positon, prior to the plea, pending trial, but having already served a sentence. The sentence you assert by the way, makes no sense, as battery is a misdemeanor, and you could not have been sentenced to state prison on a misdemeanorbattery charge.
What was it in particular that made it obvious to you that your P.D. was incompident? Your claim for relief, by the way, would be a motion to vacate plea and resulting judgment and sentence because you assert that you were improperly advised in one or more respects or induced improperly to accept the plea, all relating back to the ineffective asssistance of your counsel, as you assert.
You are going to have a very tough time with this one, although anything is possible, and you have provided no factual basis for your claim that your counsel was ineffective, making your position almost impossible to evaluate. It is a reasonable assumption that the court colloquoyed you on the rights which you were waiving in entering into the agreement, and assuming that the court conducted itself properly, which seems like a fair assumption, you were in all likelihood specifically asked whether you were satisfied with the representation which your counsel had provided to you. If you said "no" the court would have declined to accept the plea. Therefore you are going to have to prove that you could not have learned of the basis for your claim until after the fact, and that it would have been unreasonably difficult or impossible for you to have learned of the deficiencies before entering into the plea agreement.
Again, what were some of the specific issues of concern to you?

The formation of an attorney-client relationship occurs through the process of negotiation between the prospective parties, the individual seeking legal representation, and the attorney, acting individually, or as an agent of a firm (the capacity in which the attorney is acting shall be disclosed to prospective client, if negotiations for legal representation in exchange for good and valuable consideration are undertaken by the prospective client and the attorney. If agreement is reached by and between the parties for legal representation after the mutually satisfactory negotiation of the agreement for legal representation, and all of its individual terms; the scope of representation to be provided by the attorney to the prospective client has been delineated to the mutual satisfaction of the parties; the manner of payment of good and valuable consideration by the prospective client to the attorney has been determined; and it has been conceded by the parties that all of those factors upon which agreement had been reached by the parties and which were recited herein, had been agreed upon by the parties only after careful consideration and sufficient review of the document styled Agreement for Legal Representation, and after it has likewise been conceded by the parties that each respectively had been presented with the opportunity to have the document reviewed independently by each respective party's personal attorney, or any other attorney of his or her chooosing.

Unlikely. You have a very short amount of time to vacate a sentence. Withdrawing a plea, post sentence, requires a demonstration that allowing the plea to stand is a manifest injustice. Therefore, withdrawing a plea after sentencing is reserved for only the rarest of situations.
This is not to be considered legal advice nor does an attorney-client relationship exist.Ask a similar question
You can withdraw your plea if you are able to assert that a manifest injustice was committed and/or that you were not properly advised on a material right by your attorney. However, the effect of having your plea withdrawn just allows you to start again from scratch, in which case you will have to either go to trial or renegotiate a plea.Ask a similar question
Let me see if I can get this straight. You were too lazy to hire a private attorney, but it was the PD who was too lazy to do her job.Ask a similar question
Withdrawing a plea after sentence is over would in all probability be impossible because time limits on filing post-judgment motions would have almost certainly run out. By the way, I strongly disagree that most public defenders are incompetent.Ask a similar question

I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Connecticut.
My major research areas involve syntax and phonology.
On the syntax side, I've been mainly focusing on crosslinguistic variation related to adjectival and nominal phrases in a number of Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages.
On the phonology side, I am especially drawn to stress and pitch-accent, and the interaction of syntax and phonology in the context of various accentual phenomena involving clitics. I am also interested in morphology, experimental syntax, and psycholinguistics.
Before UConn, I received my bachelor's degree in teaching English as a foreign language at the University of Zenica (Department of English Language and Literature, Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina).

All Movie GuideDolphin Tale is a heartwarming family film inspired by the true story of an adorable bottlenose dolphin named Winter, who was rescued by a young boy off the Florida coast and taken in by the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. Sure, the story of a boy and his animal friend is a familiar -- if not dated -- trope, but it works reasonably well here thanks to the earnestness that director Charles Martin Smith brings to the project. He turns Dolphin Tale into the kind of movie that gives "family friendly" a good name, and he does it without compromising the core of the real Winter's experiences -- first surviving without a tail, then learning to use a prosthetic appendage, and finally serving as an inspiration for children and adults with disabilities. The film centers on Sawyer Nelson (Nathan Gamble), a young boy dealing with the absence of his father and spending a summer without any friends. Things change when he finds Winter, an injured dolphin who lost her tail after being tangled in a crab trap. Sawyer, along with veterinarian Clay Haskett (Harry Connick Jr.) and Clay's daughter Hazel (Cozi Zuehlsdorff), rescues the mammal and brings her to the marine hospital, where he decides to spend the summer helping with Winter's recovery. Eventually, Sawyer's dedication inspires a local doctor (Morgan Freeman), who agrees to design a prosthetic tail for Winter. While Dolphin Tale boasts an impressive cast -- Ashley Judd plays Sawyer's struggling single mother (who strikes up a romantic relationship with Haskett), Kris Kristofferson makes an appearance as Haskett's grizzled, preachy father, and Freeman plays the cranky military doctor with a sentimental side -- the film's soul lies with the mutually dependent relationship between a troubled preteen and his marine-mammal BFF. Winter is captivating on camera both within the narrative of the film and in documentary footage showcasing Winter interacting with people with disabilities. The underwater sequences are stunning, capturing the unique playfulness of dolphins (with a little CGI help), and they even utilize some effective point-of-view shots from the dolphin, which lends a sense of authenticity to an otherwise predictable story. Ultimately, Dolphin Tale is a comforting throw back to classic family films from the Disney vault, in which the kids are polite, the adults have all the answers, and there's no problem a little good-hearted TLC and dedication can't solve.

July 23-30, 2017
Fort Worden State Park, Port Townsend, WA
Spend a week living and learning with some of the finest musicians in the jazz world. Led by Artistic Director John Clayton, Jazz Port Townsend is the summer jazz camp designed to take you to the next level of musicianship. There's a lot to learn at Jazz Port Townsend in 2017. We've made changes in our Vocal Track and Educator Track we think you'll love, and we have several instrumental faculty who are new this year. Whether it's your first time here or your 31st, you'll find lots of fresh input on how to improve throughout the year.
The workshop is open to participants high school-aged and above, so whether you're a journeyman performer, aspiring professional, or an enthusiastic beginner, you'll find colleagues who are the perfect fit for you to make music with. If you are an educator, please visit our Educator Track section to learn how you can be a part of the week, and vocalists will want to learn about our first-ever Jazz Vocal Ensemble in our Vocal Track (see below)!
Artistic Director John Clayton has hand-picked faculty who are outstanding both as performers and teachers. They'll inspire you with their playing, and then work with you directly to develop your own skills.
You'll receive focused instruction as you rehearse daily in combos or vocal classes. Jazz Theory sessions provide valuable information for increasing your skills as an improviser. Master classes are conducted each day by faculty members who cover topics specific to their chosen instruments. "Faculty Presents" concerts each afternoon give you a chance to hear performances in an intimate setting. The workshop culminates in a series of "Students Present" concerts in which all participants have an opportunity to perform.
Applicants must have good technical command of their instrument or voice, as well as elementary improvisation experience or a basic knowledge of music theory. Differing levels of experience are expected, and every effort is made to match players of similar abilities. An audition is required.
Applicants apply at one of three levels: Beginner/Intermediate, Advanced, or Semi-Pro. Semi-pro players have the option of applying for special themed combos, focusing on specific styles (details in the audition instructions). All participants receive daily instruction from our outstanding artist faculty.
Vocal Track & Vocal Jazz Ensemble
We're excited to offer for the first time two ways to participate as a vocalist at Jazz Port Townsend:
- In our new Jazz Vocal Ensemble and as a vocal soloist. The ensemble will be led by Take 6 veteran Cedric Dent, who was a member and co-producer of the renowned vocal ensemble for several years and is now a Professor at Middle Tennessee State University. Up to 16 singers will be accepted in the ensemble, each using a microphone. Written charts will form the foundation over which you'll improvise, so you'll need to have reading skills. (We'll ask you for the name, email and phone number of a teacher or director familiar with your abilities as part of your online application). Vocalists accepted in the ensemble track will spend two-thirds of their time in the ensemble and the remaining time working as a soloist in the program below that Centrum has long been known for.
- In our longstanding program that focuses on developing your skills as a soloist. You'll work daily with faculty and a professional rhythm section to hone practical skills as well as on developing your distinctive voice as an artist.
For more information, call or email Jazz Program Manager Gregg Miller at firstname.lastname@example.com, or 360.385.3102 x109.

Ratings for Dr. Rommie F. Fakhoury
Dr Fakhoury will go beyond the basics of the normal physician. Her looks beyond the reports and finds out what is really at the core of your issues
If you need a doctor who looks beyond lab results and strictly deals with how the patient feels, then Dr.Fakhoury is the doctor for you! This man is beyond brilliant! He's a real life Dr.House! I wouldn't go anyway else! He's just the best!
Dr Fakhoury exemplifies the true meaning of the doctors oath of care and service. When I think about my health it's good to know that I have as a advocate and friend. not once have I contemplated the need to switch doctors.
I cannot believe that it takes his staff to post GREAT things to give him a boost in marketability. Dr. Fakhoury is a very nice and knowledgeable doctor BUT he is far from punctual. You wait for hours even with an appointment, cant get his facts straight, I have been misdiagnosed more than three times in a year. Continually takes walk ins and new patients when he cant handle the ones that he has. After knowing you a while, he comes off short tempered and only spends about 5 minutes with you and it is not undivided. He tends to spend time with other patients in he middle of your appointment then complains because he spent too much time with you. The only good staff member there is Ally. Everyone else is rude and apparently lacks trust, because they post such lies on the Web to boost his rating. Not worth it!
Dr. Fakhoury is vdry knowledgeable in every aspect of family medicine. He goes above and beyond for most if not every single one of his patients. I have been a patient of his since 2005 and refuse to see any other doctor. No other doctor compares to him. His compassion and empathy will not be found elsewhere. I highly recommend this doctor to everyone.
Dude makes plans for well being. A great. doc that takes pains to put thingerinterperspective and makes each patient feel like his only patient. He actually knows me and remembrts my issues. I trust him with my well being
Dr. Fakhoury is the best doctor I have ever seen. He is so dedicated to his patients... he always goes over and above and has literally saved my husbands life. All I can say to him is thank you, thank you, thank you!
I am not sure about the last comment about his staff impersonating patients to post positive comments BUT I absolutely recommend Dr. Fakhoury to EVERY single person I know. Yes, he is very blunt, but extremely knowledgable, caring, and patient. He takes the time to answer ALL of your questions and to get to know you personally as a person and not just as a patient. I respect straight shooters and would not dream of going to another doctor. If you want a doctor who sugar coats things and won't remember you from Jack or Jill, then go somewhere else. If you want a true consultant, friend, and physician, GO SEE DR. ROMMIE FAKHOURY!
Reading all these comments i could not believe what people are saying....... once i found dr fakhoury i could not imagine seeing another dr. ever..... he treats everyone with great respect and he always make sure that if i ever needed anything that i knew how to get a hold of him. he was always there to explaine everything in patients language not living the office having to google a word he said to me. I left his office always understanding what he said..dr fakhoury not only helped me understand my diagnose, but help me clearly understand what it is and how to prevent it from happening. within the short time that he has been a dr. im glad that i have found him, because this hard time that we are all going through he is the best dr to have.... not only to help you, but to work with you with the things that you are going through financially and emotionally.. he supports alot of high schools.

Israel's siege on freedoms
6 August 2010
Zionist sympathizers and their ilk have been providing us with the same "evidence" that Gaza is burgeoning: the markets are full of produce, fancy restaurants abound, there are pools and parks and malls … all is well in the most isolated place on earth — Gaza, the "prison camp" that is not. However, "prison camp" might be an understatement. Read more about Israel's siege on freedoms

I have the hand-eye coordination of a blind gorilla on a unicycle, albeit one with negligible upper body strength. You can imagine my apprehension, then, at my editor's suggestion that I try out a private coaching session to see whether there was anything that could be done – or whether, as I suspected, I was doomed to a fate of sitting in a darkened room, watching old Wimbledon re-runs while repeatedly smacking my broken, rusty old racket against the floor wailing, 'That should have been me!'
When I meet Jon Guntley, a coach from Clark Francis Tennis, he hands me a racket and immediately gets me on court, lobbing balls left, right and centre to see if I can actually hit them. Put it this way – it will take far more than one lesson to sort me out. I'm not so much brushing up on my skills as giving them their first outing.
When it comes to backhand, Jon says, 'I'm going to get you to try this two ways – once with one hand, once with both – but I already know which one you'll prefer.' I prefer one hand. He is surprised, and explains that two-handed is easier. The reason?
If you just use your tennis-playing arm, you have to pull it back across your body to hit the ball, whereas if you couple it with your other arm too, you can push it from behind, resulting in a far stronger return. Given my less than iron-fisted grip, I make an abrupt about-turn on my method of choice and sheepishly place my left hand on the racket.
Finally, we're onto volleys. If I'm being honest, I had no idea what a volley was until now – but I don't confess this to Jon. He's a great coach, striking the right balance between encouragement and teasing banter
– the fact that he doesn't make me feel like a complete buffoon when I miss the ball four times in a row is testament to that – but there are limits to how stupid I'm willing to make myself look. However, once Jon's talked me through the technique, this is probably my favourite part of the session: I'm just a metre from the net and so returning the balls finally becomes easy.
Despite the considerable unpleasantness of playing at 6.45am in August – an early rise coupled with severe overheating doth not a happy journalist make – the hour is over far more quickly than I'd anticipated. It's worth mentioning that the lesson was at the Aviation Club in Garhoud but the academy is not affiliated with the venue. I was therefore unable to use the changing room or have a shower after the lesson – much to my dismay when I'd finished, 'glowing' profusely, with half an hour until work.
So what of my fears of darkened rooms and anguished cries? Well, my outfit may not have been glam (I just about managed to rustle up a baggy old T-shirt and some ancient shorts), I was neither refined nor aggressive, and to my dismay, Jon didn't come to the lesson armed with strawberries – but you can bet your bottom dirham I'll be going back for more.

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
So here's the thing you can buy the JL W6-v3 from Crutchfield for 599 and you'll need to buy a really good box or enclosure the sound ordinance enclosures are fantastic but this sub is very picky. I have looked online for other sub woofer boxes but I'm seeing that the $50 prefabs just don't work you could have one custom-made it would take weeks to get it a cost you up over $150 for a decent box so my conclusion was to go with this item I mean really the people that designed the sub probably know what the best box is. So for an extra hundred dollars you get a box that is made with the actual subwoofer was born. It's made three-quarter inch MDF it uses a very heavy duty Speaker terminal in the rug is very high-quality, the box is very sturdy and on the very small side which will fit perfectly anywhere yes JL Audio is very pricey but you get what you pay for and when your sub woofer comes in you don't have to spend all this time mounting it, wiring it , And making sure it fits properly. You open the box and plug it in
Pros: construction of the box and the accuracy and punch of its performance
Cons: I wish I could fit two in my car

Team Manager Philip Neill explained: "William has been a great ambassador for us this past two years and on a personal note, I have really enjoyed working with him.
"I have spoken to William at length and we have agreed mutually to go our separate ways for 2016, but the door has certainly not been closed. There's every chance he could return in the future and of course everyone at Tyco BMW wishes him well."
Dunlop raced alongside Guy Martin for the Tyco BMW team on-board BMW S1000RR machinery with which he won the Irish Road Racing Superbike title despite no international victory.
"Philip and all the boys at Tyco BMW were very good to me," said Dunlop. "So first of all I'd like to thank them for making me feel very welcome. I really enjoyed my two years with the team.
"I'd also like to thank Tyco, BMW Motorrad and Metzeler tyres for their support, which also helped me clinch this year's Irish Superbike title."

In just a few days time, London will resemble Disney World with a giant chess set overtaking Trafalgar Square and a cardboard tower perching beside a colourful monster mushroom on Southbank. The London Design Festival, which starts on 19 September, has commissioned giant installations in public spaces to allow the general public to get a slice of the action. The festival is for everyone, not just industry visitors of the trade shows.
Search for the perfect furniture with The Independent house and home database, powered by mydeco.
"The London Design Festival is now seven years old. And if superstition is to be believed, the seventh year is a pivotal one: when attention begins to wander or commitment is reasserted," wrote Ben Evans, Director of the festival. "We know things are different this year - economic conditions have ensured that - but in many ways it is a positive difference."
The oversized installations certainly give an optimistic message to the capital. They will challenge perceptions and intrigue those who otherwise wouldn't be interested in design. The giant chess set called The Tournament will stand tall for five days in Trafalgar Square. It is gripping in a way that Anthony Gormley's fourth plinth project for One and Other (if we're honest) failed to be.
Created by Spanish designer Jamie Hayon's tall porcelain chess set, which will sit between the two fountains, is an invitation to the city to "come out and play". Pros will play in the morning and it is open to the public after lunch. Typically for Hayon, the project is adventurous in its conception and grand in gesture; the 32 hand-painted pieces are two metre high and mounted on wheels so they can be moved around. Hayon once created a full-size ceramic private jet for the mosaic tile company Bisazza (who incidentally supplied the chess tile board) and his shops for Spanish shoe company Camper are theatrical in design. The latest in Tokyo is a whirlwind of candy cane, mirrors and quilting.
Hayon had originally thought of creating a Gaudi-esque cathedral made of scaffolding but decided to focus instead on war and strategy. His chess installation reflects the battle of Trafalgar between the British royal navy and the combined fleets of the Spanish and French navy which the British won thanks to Lord Nelson. "If it wasn't for that triumph, this country wouldn't be quite the same," says Hayon. The irony is not lost on the fact that Hayon is Spanish himself. It is a reminder that London is a respected design capital of the world; Hayon could work anywhere in the world but he chose Soho.
Further East, Southbank will soon be turned into a temporary playground for weird and wonderful creations. The London Design Festival commissioned Marc Newson and Shigeru Ban to design thought-provoking art for the annual Size + Matter installations (19 September - 18 October).
Their aim was to challenge the perception of everyday material with dramatic outside temporary installations. Marc Newson, who is a member of the mydeco.com design board, created a vast steel form entitled Supercell that looks organic but also mathematical in spirit. Multi-coloured and cartoon-like in its scale, the steel sculpture will mushroom out of the ground more like something you'd expect out of a Disney cartoon than on London's grey skyline. He collaborated with Arcelor Mittal for the project and used 17 wafer-thin, brightly coloured enamel wafer-thin steel plates.
Nearby is a curious-looking 22-metre high cone shaped installation constructed from hundreds of cardboard tubes. Created by the Japanese architect and designer Ban, the sculpture called Paper Tower explores his fascination with the neglected material cardboard. When compressed, cardboard has industrial strength. Both pieces will be auctioned by Phillips de Pury & Company on 15 October.
It has not gone unnoticed that of the designers invited to build these monster-sized outside installations, none are British. Hayon is Spanish, Newson - Australian and Ban - Japanese. By showcasing the best of designers from all over the world, LDF is showing itself to be an international exhibition.
It has been estimated that over a million passersby will see the Disney-sized sculptures at Southbank and considerably more in Trafalgar Square. Hayon says, "It's the first time that people will play with my work quite literally, and for me, that is the most important thing. It's the social aspect that's important."

Cakebread Vine Hill Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2004
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker Notes
We utilize traditional artisan winemaking techniques with the Vine Hill fruit to ensure the maximum extraction of color, flavor and tannin. After crushing the grapes, the juice is cold-soaked for 48 hours before fermentation is initiated with a cultured yeast strain. In 2004, we used a single French strain that enhances mid-palate texture, depth and intensity. After fermentation completed, and the wine enjoyed an extended maceration on the skins to further extract color and flavor... View More

Over 30 years ago, Jack Cakebread came to photograph the Napa Valley for a book and while there, he casually mentioned his interest in one day owning a vineyard to some family friends who had a ranch in Rutherford. When he returned home that afternoon, the phone rang and it was the family friends offering to sell their property. He headed back up to the valley that same afternoon to make his best offer, and...

Stay Thankful this Holiday Season with Gratitude Journaling.
Our lives are so often consumed by stress that we rarely pause to consider all that we are thankful and grateful for. Instead, we often focus on the stresses of work, education, financial, friendships, relationships, and conflicts within the family. We only briefly consider the joyful people and things that also fill our lives.
In the spirit of the holidays, bring gratitude to the forefront of your thoughts with Gratitude Journaling. Gratitude journaling is a log kept of all the moments, people, and things in your life that you are grateful for. Ask yourself what you are grateful for each day and write down these thoughts as they come to mind. You may surprise yourself with the large amount of entries you have!
Many celebrities and notable philanthropists have incorporated gratitude journaling into their daily routine. Oprah Winfrey is strong advocate for daily gratitude journaling, and notes that there is always time for it in the day. When she had temporarily stopped her daily gratitude journal, she noticed a shift in her mood; she wasn't as happy anymore. At first she told herself she was just too busy to log daily, but then reflected on how her life was just as busy before when she was journaling daily. Oprah now writes her journal electronically, and writes it down the moment the grateful thought comes to mind. It's all about prioritizing your journal and making it as accessible as possible, such as writing it down on your phone or a notebook you keep handy.

Read an Excerpt
from Chapter 1
Intentions set into process every aspect of your life.
Gary Zukav
Change begins with the intention to change. In the Seat of the Soul, Gary Zukav gives us the following example of intending to change your job. "As the intention to leave your present job emerges into your consciousness, you begin to open yourself up to the possibility of working somewhere else or doing something else. You begin to feel less and less at home with what you are doing. Your higher self has begun the search for your next job."
I remember a time when I was looking for a new convertible. While I was in college, I had a very old convertible. As my finances improved over the years, I was able to purchase newer cars and finally could afford a new car. This was around the time that the Mustang and the Firebird convertibles first came out. I had not been aware of them until someone told me they were great cars. As I drove around town I began seeing them everywhere. My children were very young and when we went on errands they would yell out, "There's a Firebird!" and "There's a Mustang!" I had created an intention, and my awareness grew. It was as if the universe was providing me with plenty of opportunities to make a decision.
Volition is the mental urge or signal which precedes an action.
Joseph Goldstein
So we begin with an intention. Something we want to add, reduce, change or let go. We intend to make it happen.
June is a true miracle, a poster woman for affirmations. When she was diagnosed with metastasized breast cancer, it sent her and her family reeling. Fortunately, June had a strong intention to live.
She wrote, "That I'm still here physically almost a year later is a testament to modern medical science. That I'm facing each day with hope, acceptance, inner independence and an eagerness to learn from this amazing experience is in part due to my renewed association with your affirmation meditation group. I needed something very basic when I joined the group five months after diagnosis.
"Though tolerating chemotherapy extremely well, the reality of my situation could be daunting at times. I needed something to help shift my focus from treating the disease that afflicts my body to treating the whole me. I needed to remember that I am not alone on this journey. This was my intention, and affirmations clarify intentions. We came up with what turned out to be a very powerful affirmation for me, which helped me accept my life as it is today with growing peace and a great deal of joy:
'Healing energy is flowing through every cell in my body with every breath I take.'"
When June completed writing her affirmation for 21 days, she found another powerful affirmation that was extremely helpful for her:
"I am letting go of doubt, fear, anger and distrust and quietly accept the Unknown."
Why not take some time now to think about what you would like to change in your life. You can write your thoughts down, and then, with the succeeding steps in this book, you will learn how you can make the change.
Is there something you would like to add, such as more meaning in your job, a new relationship or a deeper spiritual connection?
Is there something you would like to reduce, such as weight, negative thinking or fear?
Is there something you would like to change, such as where you live, your job or your attitude?
Is there something you would like to let go of, such as resentment, anger or pride?
Thoughts of your mind have made you what you are and thoughts of your mind will make you what you become from this day forward.
Catherine Ponder
Before going any further into affirmations, it's important to take some time to become familiar with the term "self-talk." I use this term to describe the conversations we have in our minds, the words we say to ourselves. We constantly tell ourselves all kinds of things which we then internalize as truth. For example, a person with an eating problem might be 5' 4" tall and weigh 105 pounds and still tell herself she is too fat. A very competent person might not go for a job interview after convincing him- or herself that he or she could not be hired.
It is crucially important to become aware of your self-talk if you hope to change it. Practice listening to the way you speak to yourself. Observe the effect that it has on your personal belief system.
Meditation is a wonderful technique for helping you to slow down and listen to your own thoughts. The practice of mindfulness, a form of meditation, not only helps you to increase your awareness of how you talk to yourself, but also helps you to stay in the present moment. I've written more about this in my other books.
Mindfulness is simply a quieting down of our mind, a settling down of our thoughts. Sitting quietly for only twenty minutes every morning, you begin to see how your mind works. By concentrating on your breathing, you'll see how your mind goes off in many other directions. Bring your attention back to your breathing. Every time your mind strays away, just notice it without any judgment and bring your attention back to your breathing.
This practice helps you become aware of your self-talk. People who are just beginning this practice are often amazed at the language they use on themselves. They might discover themselves using abusive language such as, "Stupid! I should be able to stay with my breath." Many people have been talking to themselves like this for their entire lives, but have not been aware of it. They don't know that they are holding themselves back or keeping themselves in a state of low self-esteem.
Once we recognize and understand the power our thoughts have over our actions and feelings, we can learn to detach emotionally from them and observe them, sorting out the negative and destructive ones from the positive and constructive ones; realizing we do not have to believe them. These thoughts lose their power over us as soon as we become aware of them, because we can then choose to create more positive and constructive self-talk to inspire, encourage, affirm, accept, respect and love ourselves.
- We are what we think about!
- What we think about expands.
- We feel what we think about.
- We create what we think about in our lives.
- When awareness increases, we draw to us what we think about.
- We attract what we think about.

I felt guilty, as I slipped into my pajamas - a plain grey pullover sweatshirt and a pair of baggy black sweatpants. Ginger had always made fun of my pajamas wardrobe, especially because I often wore flannel long-sleeves in the summer or thin-material shorts in the winter. Oh, well. Ginger could think what she wanted.
My hair fell in front of my eyes. Frustrated, I tucked it back into my hood, then pulled the hood up over my face. Glancing in the mirror, I couldn't help but chuckle a little. I looked ridiculous, with my hood pulled over my head like that.
My chuckle was short-lived, however. My thoughts went back to the events that had transpired. Guilt washed over me - again - as I considered the rude way I'd left Leonardo. He hadn't needed to follow me home; I knew the reason he'd followed me was probably out of pity or something.
I considered going to talk to Leonardo and explain myself, as much as I wanted to hide away. But wouldn't that just make things more awkward? Maybe, I was better off in my room, avoiding facing my problems. Yes, I had been rude, but I was worrying myself too much over it. It was time to go to sleep. It wasn't time to blow my "problems" way out of proportion.
I wondered where Mom was, in all this. She'd gone out for dinner with a group of her "girlfriends," which meant she was probably back by now. I wondered what her opinion was of us being out so late.
Sighing, I muttered to myself, "Kenna, you're just being a worrywart, and you know it."
Gaze darting over to the door, I weighed my options. I could continue to be rude and just go to bed, refusing to try to make amends with Leonardo. Admittedly, this seemed like the best option. Or I could leave my room and actually talk to the guy. I mean, he'd left the party for me! Couldn't I go talk to him? Surely, I owed him that much.
Or maybe, I'm just overthinking the whole thing.
I stared at the door, daring it to open of its own accord so that my decision could be made for me. Finally, I dragged myself off the bed, remembering just in time that I was still wearing my hood. I pulled the hood off my head and shook out my hair a little. Berating myself the entire way, I opened my door and headed out in search of Leonardo.
