Meagher to run as Independent councillor in next summer's local elections in Limerick
FORMER county councillor Joe Meagher is to stand as an independent after failing to win a nomination for Fianna Fail.
This week, Fianna Fail formally selected sitting councillors Mike Donegan, Noel Gleeson and Eddie Wade to run for the party in the newly created Cappamore/Kilmallock constituency.
They joined Cllr Eddie Ryan who received the highest number of votes on the night at the party's selection convention three weeks ago.
Due to a new directive in the party, the other three candidates were chosen in Dublin, with party bosses fearing a lack of a geographic spread.
It was a move which caused upset among the party faithful.
And Mr Meagher was left furious, after he secured 48 votes from the party's grass roots, second only behind Cllr Ryan. However, it was the three sitting councillors who Dublin favoured over Mr Meagher - who served on County Council from 1999 to 2004.
Mr Meagher said he was very disappointed that he wasn't automatically chosen as he got the second highest vote on the night.
But he added he is now looking forward to fighting the election as an independent candidate.
Mr Meagher said he felt "badly treated" by Fianna Fail.
"I was very disappointed [not to get the nomination]. Not only for myself, but also for my many supporters," he said.
Mr Meagher said he is hoping for a strong showing, especially given his endorsement by the party's grass roots.
"It is difficult to go as an Independent. But I have been badly treated by the party. Every man or woman should have a vote, but they were told nearly 50% of their vote did not matter."

Salmon Rösti
So, not long ago I was approached by a scout from a major food network, looking for undiscovered culinary talent. I was asked to show my mettle by presenting an appealing recipe that makes use of only common ingredients found in the average household pantry...
I am sooooo lying! What really happened was, I forgot to plan dinner (again,) and I was scrambling around at 5:00 trying to find anything whatsoever to cook. Not so much as a thawed hamburger in the fridge. Pasta? No, we don't eat that any more. Omelets? We had that for breakfast. Chinese takeout was starting to look like a dangerously good option, when suddenly I stumbled across a couple cans of wild Alaskan salmon.
Dinner is saved!

'I don't know about you, but the last thing I want to think about on the morning of a big holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas is what I'm going to make everyone for breakfast.

My Granny's Chair
No matter where I live, how old I get, how rich or poor, sick or healthy, no matter how happy or tragic the events of my life may be, at the core of my being I know this: I have been loved. Deeply and unconditionally loved by two people in my life, and those people were my grannies.

Candy Fixes Everything
Marriage can be tricky in the best of circumstances. Two people from different families, possibly even different countries, regions, genders, races, socio-economic status and political leanings start living under the same roof and attempt to merge their individual existences into a shared life.
For example, my husband and I couldn't be more different. One of us is rather liberal, and the other leans towards the conservative. One of us is the child of a successful business owner, and the other is the child of a tough-guy union ironworker. One of us is a Star Trek-loving super nerd, and the other has developed a keen interest in biker tattoos. One of us is a cat lover, and the other has never lived without a dog. One of us rolls the toilet paper over... well, you get the idea. But love conquers all, right? Well.....
One of us graduated from the University of Michigan, and the other attended THE Ohio State University. Whaaaaat? A Buckeye. Married to a Wolverine. How do we resolve that?
Well, recently my husband took me on a lovely weekend trip to Ann Arbor to help me to better appreciate his alma mater, so different from where I went to school. I thought the university was really lovely. We had a very nice time there.
And then for my counterpoint, I made him these:

Dare to DIY - The Look of Mercury Glass
My big DIY project of the past several weeks has been remodeling my embarrassingly out-of-date guest bathroom. From the brass-accented fixtures to the honey oak cabinetry to the stained glass pendant lights that look like they belong hanging over a booth at Applebees...
I've put a lot of work into giving this room a bright, clean, contemporary look, but on that you'll have to take my word for the time being and look for the Big Reveal in a future post.

This is No Ordinary Butternut Squash Soup
Not long ago I discovered a really great chicken recipe that I highly recommend you try. The chicken is coated in a sauce made of mustard and maple syrup and then baked. Even if you don't like mustard, you should try this because the cooking process transforms the sharp, yellow mustard sauce into something mellow and tangy and just a little bit sweet.
So, why am I talking about chicken? What's that got to do with butternut squash soup? You'll see.

PORK (get in my) BELLY!
For months I have been wanting to try pork belly. Seems like it's all the talk on the Food Network, but every store I went to had the same claim, "Oh, yeah. Pork belly. We get that sometimes, but we don't have any now." I almost gave up.
But then COSTCO!

Seeds of Change Organic Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic
Boy, do I love Costco! One of my favorite things to buy there is the Seeds of Change organic quinoa and brown rice that comes in a microwavable pouch. Healthy, delicious and ready in 90 seconds!
Lately I've given up processed foods, especially prepared side dishes that come in a box or a pouch. (I explain why in this post.) But this is a rare exception.
Check the label -- every ingredient is actual, recognizable food, except for a bit of soy emulsifier. And though I try to avoid soy, I'm not going to flip out about the small amount in a product I enjoy in moderation. Especially when it comes with quinoa and brown rice and garlic and onion and parsley.... yum!
(I am not in any way affiliated with this brand. Nor was I compensated for this review. I just think this stuff is good!)
I Buy My Green Beans at Target
These are the best-tasting green beans I have ever tried. I get them at my local Target, and every time I go in there, I clean out their entire supply.
They make a quick, healthy side dish -- just 5 minutes in the microwave, right in their own bag.
I also use them to make a really tasty cold salad that is the perfect dish for a party or a potluck. People always ask me for the recipe. You can get it if you click here.
Recently I tried the same brand's roasted sweet potatoes, and they were great, too!

Recently, on just such an occasion, I found myself with under an hour to cook something using the only two fresh ingredients I had available at the time: a package of boneless chicken thighs and a pint of organic cherry tomatoes from my weekly CSA produce delivery. Naturally, I turned to my bff Pinterest....

One Day Linen Closet Overhaul
About 5 years ago we did a major remodel of our master bathroom. In the process, we upgraded from a stingy little corner shower to the roomy, luxurious, big-enough-for-two shower that we still enjoy today. (Hey, GrandDad and I may be old, but who said romance has an expiration date? And that sound you now hear is our kids heading straight to therapy...)
To get some additional space we needed for the new bathroom, we stole over a foot of depth from what had been an extra clothes closet in the hallway. Our house has no shortage of closet space in the bedrooms, so I was perfectly content to convert this shallow nook into a space for storing linens, etc. And so we lived happily ever after. The End. Well.... not quite.

Faux Gravy
Some time ago I bragged all over the place about my homemade gravy. Delicious, yes, but sometimes you don't want to go for the real thing. Maybe you need something quick. Maybe you're trying to cut back on fat and calories. At times like that I fall back on a gravy-like sauce I make from vegetables.
I know! That sounds super NOT THAT DELICIOUS! But trust me. It's good.

Sometimes You Just Need a Win
Maybe it's because I've been trying to work myself out of a funk which I've written about
here: Un Funk Yourself Part One
and here: Un Funk Yourself Part Two - Eat the Toad
and again here: Un Funk Yourself Part Three - Less is Best
Maybe it's because I've begun following Jen Jones' i heart organizing blog. where she is currently doing a "Four Week Wait No More Organizing Challenge" by focusing her talents one week at a time on four areas of her life that desperately need organizational help. (Just four? Really?)
Maybe it's because I looked around this morning and saw this:
and this:
and this:
Yep. That was my kitchen only a few hours ago. Oh, don't judge me. My kitchen is where I spend a lot of my day. Not just cooking (although I do a lot of that!) but concocting, crafting, cleaning (no, honestly!) and colliding with my family because they hang out there a lot, too.
I decided my win for the day was just going to be a massive countertop cleanup, which I kicked off by simply putting things away. Why do I have a toaster on the counter, when we don't eat bread? Why is there bread on the counter?! What barn-raised dolt just up and left their dirty breakfast dishes literally three feet from the dishwasher? (Oh, wait. That was me.)
Actually, truthfully, honestly, I started by hauling every single item that wasn't affixed OUT. Even the stuff I know I use all the time. Even that massive microwave oven. You can't be nice to clutter. Or even civil. I discovered that last year during my week-long purge-athon. That was an adventure! But I digress...
Once things were cleared away, I discovered I could actually reach the walls and the backsplash, so they got a good scrubbing down.
Drawers and cabinet spaces were supposed to be beyond the scope of my quick little project, but I couldn't help noticing the jammed up and overcrowded state of my sponge drawer.
And the chaos in an island drawer that was mostly filled -- it turned out -- with long-expired coupons. But also a few actually-useful items that would be great to have handy. Assuming one could ever find them.
To take care of the first problem, I simply found a nice, tall, decorative pot and relocated all the big, clunky scrubbers and brushes from the the sponge drawer, which now holds -- you guessed it! -- sponges.
Quick tip: I keep my dishwashing liquid in a repurposed oil cruet. It looks nice on the counter, and it dispenses the soap more slowly than squeezing it out of the original bottle, and that cuts down on waste.
As for the "coupon drawer," most of its contents are off to the recycling bin, but I restocked it with a selection of envelopes, stamps, address labels, notepads, a calculator and a roll of tape.
Finally I gave the windows a good washing, using a sheet of newspaper and
my favorite homemade glass cleaning solution:
1 cup of water
1 cup of isopropyl alcohol
1 tablespoon of white vinegar
(I've sharpied the recipe right on my spray bottle so I don't forget.)
And now, just a few hours from when I started, my kitchen looks like
and this:
and this:
and this:
I needed that.
Before you dismiss this as making a big deal out of a little cleanup, Nate Berkus was once asked for his best advice on how to transform a living space without spending a lot of money... his #1 tip was, "clean up."
And then there's FlyLady Marla Cilley who transformed, not just her living space, but her life. The very first thing she did, and the first thing she advises her followers to do: shine your sink.
So there.

Picnic, Potluck or Party Perfect
It's summertime!
Time for church picnics, weekend barbecue potlucks, lazy Sunday brunches, and nights when you just don't want to turn on your stove! What we all need this time of year is a good recipe for a healthy and tasty dish you can cook up fast, take on the road, and serve up without a care.
I've got just the thing: a hearty, delicious and picnic-worthy salad.
I've got just the thing: a hearty, delicious and picnic-worthy salad.
Garlic Herb Vinaigrette
I don't know why I bother making homemade salad dressing. You can easily buy bottled salad dressing at any grocery store and probably some gas stations. Sure, it's expensive. And yes, a lot of dressings have terrible, unhealthy ingredients, but you can figure out which ones are healthy (ish) by reading all the nutrition labels. And so what if everybody only wants Ranch all the time -- it's not my job to expand other people's palate preferences.
And making salad dressing at home is a complicated process of dumping 4 or 5 ingredients into a bowl and blending them......
Okay, I DO know why I make my own clean and healthy salad dressing at home. If you've never tried it, a good place to start is with a simple (but delicious!) herb vinaigrette. It's easy.

Un Funk Yourself Part Three - Less is Best
Abundance. Variety. Choice. These sound like great things, right? And scarcity, uniformity and limitation sound really bad. But what makes you happier? Hmmmm….
As I was reading Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project, I came across an interesting description of a study where participants were given a large menu of food items and told to order snacks for several weeks. Of course most people chose an interesting variety of items. However, when they repeated the study, but had people choose snacks one week at a time, the participants usually just opted for their favorite thing over and over.
An article in the London-based newspaper The Daily Telegraph claims that, while the average ten-year-old child owns more than 230 toys, he actually plays with only about 12 of them. (And those are British kids. One look at the playroom in my house tells me that American kids own about 4,827 toys.)
On the Becoming Minimalist blog, Joshua Becker notes that the average American woman today owns 30 outfits (…and yet can never find anything to wear. Am I right, ladies?)
By contrast, in an article in Harper's Bazaar, art director Matilda Kahl tells the story of the last time she arrived to work late, unprepared, and wearing an ill-chosen outfit (which, it turned out, she also had on inside-out!) because of the excessive time she spent fretting over various ensembles before choosing the one that she regretted anyway. What made it truly the last time was her immediate decision to go out and buy 15 white silk shirts, a few pairs of black trousers and a black blazer, and to wear the same thing to work every day thereafter.
About the time I came across all these interesting facts and stories, I was involved in my seasonal ritual of dragging warm weather clothing out of storage and packing away cold weather sweaters and coats. And thusly...
I realized that I own
a shocking amount of clothing.
Even worse, a good number of the sweaters I took out of my closet and packed away had never even been worn throughout the winter!
This. Is. Nuts.
So I embarked on my own little experiment: rather than sorting and carrying and folding and hanging all my summer garments, I sifted through them and chose about a dozen shirts, about half a dozen pairs of shorts or capri's, one nice pair of jeans, and three dressy outfits, all of which I actually like to wear. I left everything else in the storage closet. For now.
Well, not everything. While I was deciding which items made the cut, I harvested a few bags of serviceable clothing to donate, all of which I actually hated to wear. It felt good to give those things away. And it felt really good to finally be honest with myself.
So can such a small change really make a lasting difference in the level of satisfaction I have with my life? Holy smokes, you bet! Every morning I pull my "uniform" for the day from one of two drawers. I no longer spend half the morning searching through every drawer and all over my closet for something to wear, nor refolding massive piles of rejects. And since I am not constantly faced with wardrobe dissatisfaction, I am not tempted to waste time and money buying new things I think I'm going to like better. Likely that's how I got into this mess to begin with.
Having fewer clothing choices actually feels like I have more to wear. And that makes me...

Un Funk Yourself Part Two -- Eat the Toad
I've taken on something of a happiness project of my own. And while I agree that improving energy is a great place to start, parts of Rubin's attack plan weren't terribly useful to me:
Get more sleep, she says. (I think I sleep adequately.)
Get more exercise, she says. (I think I sleep adequately.)
So, okay. But what really caught my attention was Rubin's resolution to boost her energy by battling household disorder. In other words, to energize herself and make herself a happier person, Rubin went on a month-long clutter busting rampage in her home. Now we're talking!
Some readers of this blog may recall that last year I went on just such an adventure myself. It was during the week of my family's annual biking/camping vacation that I enjoy not attending every year.
Instead, I spent that precious week of "me time" purging my home of
general clutter,
paper clutter,
and even food clutter.
Instead, I spent that precious week of "me time" purging my home of
general clutter,
paper clutter,
and even food clutter.
Compared to Gretchen Rubin, however, I fear I am a clutter-busting amateur. By her account, she took on classifications of clutter that I'd never even thought of, like:
Nostalgic clutter – when you cling to useless relics of an earlier phase of life. (Yes, I still have my prom dresses, circa 1975. Yes, I have a drawer full of crayon scribble "art." Yes, I still have the spelling bee trophy I won in fourth grade. What of it?)
Conservation clutter – when you hang onto things because they are useful, even if you will never, ever use them. (What do you mean this set of gold charger plates is nothing but a dust collector? I might need them someday when I host an elegant dinner party. Maybe. One of these days. It could happen.)
Bargain and/or freebie clutter – comes from buying/taking unnecessary things just because they are on sale/free. (Why do I have an entire cupboard of empty plastic reusable cups from the pizza place? I never use them.)
Buyer's remorse clutter – hanging onto things you don't use, need or even like just because you can't admit you made a mistake buying them. (One word: juicer.)
Aspirational clutter – keeping things around because you love the idea of using them, but never actually do. (I know that tower of fat quarters is about to fall and crush the dog, but I swear by all that is sacred -- I am GOING to make a quilt!)
Outgrown clutter – holding onto old versions of things, even though you now prefer something better. (Behold my collection of beautiful stationery and colorful note cards. For when I stop using email.)
Crutch clutter – This one is kind of the anti-clutter. It's when you hold onto dreadful things because you really do use them, even though you know you should get rid of them. (I know they're horrible, but I wear those trousers for gardening. If you don't like it, call the Pants Police and file a report.)
Of all, I suspect the most crippling, the most happiness-suppressing form of clutter is what Rubin describes as "the invisible but… enervating psychic clutter of loose ends." She is referring to all those "neglected tasks that make you feel weary and guilty whenever you think of them." So, if you want to be happy, it's best to stop thinking of them and get them done!
In a more graphic manner, my daughter Kate refers to handling loathsome tasks as eating toads. She says, if you wake up in the morning knowing that today is the day you need to eat a toad, isn't it best just to chomp it down and be done with it, rather than spending the whole day bummed out because you know, sooner or later, you have to eat that toad? She's right, of course. And I realize that one reason happiness may be eluding me these days is because of all the odious tasks I've allowed to mount up .instead of just taking care of business. I have more than one toad hopping around me, and sidestepping them all is making me very weary.

Un Funk Yourself - Part One
Lately I've been thinking a lot about happiness. Mostly because it's eluding me. It would be absurd to say I'm UNhappy, because I have blessings beyond measure. I gratefully acknowledge that I'm more fortunate than the majority of people who walk the planet. Or have EVER walked the planet. Knowing this, however, doesn't always keep me from feeling…
I am in a funk. Majorly. I need to figure out how to un-funk myself.
So recently I read Gretchen Rubin's book The Happiness Project. (And to be honest, my frequent reaction was an urge to suggest to the author that she get over herself. Nevertheless... ) I found some of Rubin's ideas intriguing. Basically, she advises all earnest seekers of greater contentment to:
- identify the essential components for your personal pursuit of happiness
- come up with a set of measurable actions (resolutions) for achieving them
- tackle each component in turn, devoting full attention to one before moving on to the next.
And so Rubin started her own happiness project with a fully developed and documented plan that included 11 different targets and their associated resolutions -- one target per month with a final month to relish it all coming together. The Happiness Project chronicles this mission: one woman's entire year of thoughtfully and mindfully striving to happi-fy herself.
I myself decided to dispense with most of the fussiness, and – how about that! – I'm happier already! But seriously, I gleaned some good kernels from this book, and I'm ready to try putting them into action. I'm ready to find out if happiness is truly something that can be crafted.

Healthy Subs for Starchy Sides
It's not news: grains are bad for you. My family has cut wheat from our diet completely, and cut way back on other grains, such as rice, corn, and even quinoa. The evidence in favor of this change is, well, evident... around our waists and around the time we go to the doctor and find out how much our blood sugar, serum cholesterol, blood pressure and other metrics of health have improved.
One of my personal challenges, however, has to do with my once-ingrained (ha ha) belief about what constitutes "a healthy, balanced meal." For me this was a protein, a starch and a vegetable. And as for the starches, I habitually served my family tasty, convenient, just-add-water side dishes that were a snap to prepare and had a seemingly endless shelf life. You know what I'm talking about -- that San Francisco-style treat, that rice from everybody's favorite old uncle, that zesty taste of New Orleans in a box... Trouble is, such processed, grain-based, chemical-laden foods were bad for us. But coming up with something better to serve as THE STARCH in my meals? That has been a challenge.

Instead, try making your own, starting with healthy, homemade olive oil-based mayonnaise.
Then check out my recipes for homemade
- classic Caesar dressing
- creamy Green Garlic dressing
- healthy Garlic Herb Vinaigrette.
But inevitably we all find ourselves craving warm, starchy comfort foods. Is life without creamy mashed potatoes and hot, buttery noodles even livable?
Granny says NO!
(Buuuuut... keep an open mind.)
It seems that all over the internet these days, someone is touting a recipe for something that used to be bad for you (but really, really delicious) that can now be made healthily out of cauliflower. Cauliflower bread, cauliflower pizza crust, cauliflower tots, cauliflower tortillas, cauliflower "rice"..... And that's because these things are GOOD! Not just fewer-calories-lower-glycemic-vitamins-and-fiber good, but TASTY!
My personal favorite is cauliflower puree in place of mashed potatoes. Half the time my family doesn't even know they're not getting "the real thing." The rest of the time, they marvel over how yummy this stuff is.
We also really enjoy zucchini noodles made with a spiral slicer. (Readers tell me an inexpensive Vegetti tool works really well, too.) There is a trick to keeping these from getting overcooked and soggy, so check out my post to learn how.
I am always looking for delicious grain-free dinner ideas. What's your favorite?
Also look for more good ideas at these great parties:

There was once a day – I'm thinking of the late 19th century – in which special drinks with dubious medicinal effects were sold on the basis of overconfidence in scientific breakthrough. What has changed isn't the wild claims and general quackery, but the kind of willful ignorance we as American consumers exhibit as we buy such products. We know that 3 mg of Echinacea isn't going to restore our entire psycho-somatic equilibrium. But it sure feels good to buy a pretty can of sugar water labeled "Overdrive."
As long as we're buying 16oz containers of fantasy, why not market them with a gendered identity in mind? With gender is more and more an ornamental accessory to our lives, we can finally drink ourselves into manliness. Such has become the reality of 7-11 stores everywhere. Marketers have pegged young males as the primary consumers of energy drinks, so much so that you'll never see something advertised as "manly." That would unpoetic, stating the obvious. Instead companies sell the feeling, offering something akin to the experience of primitive hunters amplifying their own power by consuming the life-essence from the slain. Accordingly, we're offered a veritable smorgasbord of dude-drinks with names like "Mountain Dew Game Fuel," "Adrenalyn Stack," "No Fear Bloodshot," "TAPOUT," and (my personal favorite) "Zombie Blood Energy Potion."
"Of course I've been awake for four days straight. I'm an assasin-dunkmaster-executive-rockstar-bodybuilder-fratboy-ninja-warlord-executive who drinks zombie blood for breakfast."
Not to leave anyone out, there are a handful of opened up for women's energy drinks: "Redline Princess," "Pink," "Vixen Energy Drink." But the fact that these libations broadcast their femininity as loudly as possible just underscores the fact that marketers by and large have oriented sales to the peddling of masculine identity. Kathleen E. Miller found that college undergraduate men on average consumed 2.49 energy drinks a month, compared with a modest 1.22 cans of the stuff among women (Journal of American Journal Health 56:5 [April 2008]).
Miller does not claim a 1:1 correlation between energy drinks and irresponsible risk taking, but she warns that energy drink consumption is a good predictor of "toxic jock identity." I wasn't aware that "toxic jock identity" was a condition, but, dear me, it sounds serious. If only the energy drink industry would devise thirst-quenching technology with extracts to offset the symptoms of such macho ridiculousness in the first place.

Hike, back in January launched its own operating system UI built on top of Google's Android operating system. The software in its initial stages will be available on ultra-affordable smartphones manufactured by Indian companies like Intex and Karbonn. The USP of this platform is that users can utilise basic online services without the need to have access to the internet. This may sound really good but is it indeed what Hike claims the software to be? Read the review below to find out.
To start using the so-called free services from Hike, the users will have to register on Total and activate the device with a compatible SIM card. To achieve this level of effectiveness in bringing data without the need of internet to users, Hike has used the pre-existing USSD protocol. The company is even working with a number of telecom operators to offer cheap data packets to users who need to access more than what Hike is able to offer with the help of the USSD protocol.
Hike Total comes with support for eight regional languages and has a heavy focus on the Indian market. The company hasn't played around with the UI too much keeping most of it in its stock configuration. The company has included a few apps like – News, Cricket and Rail Info which will let its users consume information without the need for data. The thing here is that the apps take a lot of time to load and I guess you are better off purchasing data instead.
One thing that we found odd was that the device from the Hike application was able to send text messages to other numbers easily. However, whenever we came across sending text messages to a phone number which previously had Hike Messenger installed, the app failed to deliver. This seems to be one of the major implementation points that Hike missed on Total.
We tested the device with an Airtel SIM card, which fared quite okay while testing. Keeping in mind that the device was bringing all of the data in a presentable way through the USSD protocol was not very slow. However, if you use data at 3G speeds daily you are better off not utilising these services. But then, Hike Total is not meant for you anyway. Though the services load up slower than today's standards, they were really informative and got the work done. They would come in more than handy in regions not blessed with great mobile internet connectivity. The apps that I used the most were the News app, Hike Wallet, Messaging, UPI and Data Pack purchases.
The thing that bothered me while reviewing Hike Total was the free information provided was mostly through other services of Hike. The news was curated by the Hike News app, the wallet and the messaging services were of Hike. This brings up the question of Net Neutrality, whether this violates it. But that is not the case as Hike has worked with telecom operators closely to bring the services to the users for free by improving the USSD protocol. And the company is planning to bring more third-party apps and government apps to the platform in the future.
The smartphones that run Hike Total currently might be okay to be someone's first smartphone or a secondary smartphone. However, If you already own a smartphone this might not be the route you want to take. The ecosystem is in its infancy and needs time to grow. The company should be currently working on the betterment of the services along with bringing the operating system to better smartphones too.

Academic Coaching
Help Your Teen Build Skills for Academic Success
Your teen is a smart and curious learner. So why is school so stressful?
Maybe it's organization and time management. You know the drill, right? Your teen tells you he only has "a little" homework, and spends the evening involved in a critically important text conversation. Then at ten o'clock, when he should be going to sleep, he suddenly remembers a set of math problems due first thing in the morning.
Or worse, he does the homework and forgets to turn it in, and zeros start to pile up in power school.
Or maybe your teen gets the work done, and the real struggle is stress. She signed up for too many AP classes, or she's reluctant to say no to any of her 17 favorite activities. For some teens, taking on too much is the problem. For others, the stress comes from a social situation or a friend in crisis. But even if you aren't sure of the source of the stress, you can see it's wearing her down.
If you're like most of the parents I work with, you feel frustrated…and maybe a little exhausted. You know your teen is bright and creative, and it's hard to watch the struggle.
You've offered encouragement, made practical suggestions, and tried to strategize. But it doesn't seem to be coming together.
Sometimes academic coaching — a small adjustment in study skills, a new strategy for tackling a difficult subject, or a better understanding of stress — can make a big difference for students. Yet it's not always clear how to help your teen make that shift.
But the truth is that even when you know what needs to happen…sometimes teens find it hard to hear good advice from a parent.
Imagine what it would be like if your teen could…
- Use effective study strategies that improve retention…and grades
- Keep track of homework, class notes, and supplies in a well-organized binder
- Develop a powerful organizational system that promotes long-term learning and makes studying for finals a breeze
- Tap into reliable anti-procrastination strategies to make sure your teen doesn't run out of time…or overcommit
- Stay cool under pressure with an easy-to-learn strategy to help counter stressful thoughts
- Make plans for a future your teen is excited about, and understand how doing homework this week can help your teen move toward that future
If any of these sound familiar, then you're in the right place.
Skills for Academic Success
Organization. Communication. Time management. Stress management. Planning for the future. These are the kind of skills Academic Coaching can help students learn.
School skills are life skills.
The Skills for Academic Success academic coaching program helps teens build the skills, habits, and mindset teens need to do well not only in school, but in life.
Each week we'll focus on the specific strategies your teen needs most, while building a solid foundation of school and life skills.
Over the course of the school year, we'll talk about…
- how willpower really works
- a cool way to get through a "boring" book
- note taking systems that improve long-term memory
- an evidence-based technique that helps you memorize anything
- the most useful (and neglected) part of a math book
- anti-distraction strategies
- stress management
- what it takes to ace tests
"My daughter does her homework, every day, and turns it in. I still need her remind her to get started, but no more missing assignments!" — P.A.
"Anyone who thinks they might have ADD or find that they can't stay on task should check Pat's programs out." — S.M.
Here's what you'll get
This program includes…
- Weekly sessions to make sure you have the tools, strategies and mindset you need to do well
- An online tracking system so students and parents can stay on top of what we're working on — and see where students are making progress
- A written summary of each session to keep track of what we work on
- Unlimited connection to Pat via text and email throughout the semester
- Step-by-step instructions for organizational strategies to make sure homework gets done efficiently with more time for friends and fun
- Step-by-step instructions for study strategies to make sure that when you learnn something, it sticks!
- Recommendations for organizational, calendaring, and distraction-proofing systems to help students stay on top of schoolwork
The Skills for Academic Success program is designed to provide a foundation for a successful school year. It works for students in…
- Middle school
- High school
- College
"I think you are working some magic! There has been a noticeable shift in this student's behavior, focus, organization, and performance." — B.A.
"Every time we talked to our son's teachers last year they'd complain about his performance. This year, by contrast, was easy. He got two A's out of four subjects." — D.F.
You might have some questions about academic coaching…
- What kinds of results can we expect?
That depends on where the student is starting from, and how willing she/he is to experiment with the strategies and tools we talk about.
The first thing you'll see is new understanding. Second, students start to practice new skills, first in the academic coaching session and then at home. Only then will students start to apply new skills on their own.
Each week we'll do our best to tweak, troubleshoot, and adapt the program to the needs of your student. So far, all my students have reported improvement on the skills we identified as most important, and most parents have learned something too.
- Does this program work for kids with AD/HD
Absolutely. Skills like setting goals, tracking progress, and creating effective study strategies are important for every teen, and that includes teens with AD/HD. This program not only provides support and focus for teens with AD/HD, but also helps them develop the brain-based executive functioning skills they need to do well in life.
- Can't teens learn these skills on their own?
They certainly can. Many people "pick up" these skills over time, by trial and error. But for many people, this process takes years. Meanwhile, school can be a struggle. A program like Skills for Academic Success can give that process a jump start.
Athletes, musicians, and performers of every type find that the fastest path to mastery is with a coach. And I like to teach teens that asking for help is a strength. So why not find help as soon as you can, whether it's a teacher, a tutor, or an academic coach.
- Do you work with college students?
Yes, I work with college students nationwide, usually over the internet.
Why work with Pat?
I specialize in helping teens get organized, study effectively, and de-stress about school. There are three things you should know about me that set me apart from other academic coaches. First, I've spent more than 25 years learning about how the brain works as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Board Certified Neurofeedback practitioner. I know the latest research on willpower, procrastination, goal setting, and learning, and I can help students translate this research into practical strategies that can help them learn effectively.
Second I've taught students in middle school, high school, and college. As a formerly credentialed California high school teacher for physics, chemistry, and math, I love the "hard" subjects, and I delight in showing kids how to make these subjects more do-able, and therefore more fun. I pay attention to grades (and teach my students to check their own grades), but with Academic Coaching I also focus on building skills that will help students master any subject.
Third, I'm a parent. I get how tough it is to watch your kid bump up against challenging subjects, difficult teachers, and "boring" books (not to mention all the social stuff) — and stress about school. So I make sure to you as a parent are up to speed about exactly which academic skills we're working on and what progress we're making — while still creating a private space for your teen to talk when needed. And I often have ideas about how to diffuse family tension around school stuff — just let me know when you have a question.
Life is too short to struggle through school.

text: Furnace Service or Furnace Replacement: What to Consider Posted September 11, 2015 The chilly weather in Williamsport means it's time to book your annual furnace service. If your furnace is getting past its prime, it might be time to prepare yourself for a furnace replacement. Just like any other home improvement project, a new furnace is a large investment in your home. The pros at Lycoming Heating Company can help you decide if it's time for a furnace replacement or your yearly furnace service. We have some advice to help you along while deciding the future of your furnace. 1. Age of System This will probably be the most telling factor in deciding if it's time for a repair or replacement. There have been a lot of improvement in furnace technology over the years, including an increase in efficiency and a decrease in noise. If your furnace has nearly reached adolescence, it's a good idea to start looking for a new system. The experts at Lycoming Heating Company can work with you to determine if it's the right time for a replacement. 2. Cost Comparison Purchasing a new furnace is an expense a homeowner doesn't want to make until needed. That's why comparing the cost of constantly repairing your furnace against the cost of a replacement is a vital part of the decision-making process. When you begin comparing the two we have a few things to keep in mind. Furnace service Make note of when your warranty expires and note what it covers so you're always saving as much as possible. Furnace replacement When considering what size your new furnace needs to be it's a good idea to call in the professionals. A technician will determine a load calculation by taking into account your home size and various other factors such as home design, insulation and the habits of people living inside the home. The energy efficiency level of the system will factor into the expense of a replacement. Furnaces with higher AFUE ratings will lead to greater energy savings down the road. After you've calculated the costs to continually repair your system or to replace it, there's a straightforward rule to use as a guide. If your repair cost is 1/3 the expense of a replacement or if your furnace is older, the best option may be a replacement. Our team in Williamsport is here to assist you wherever you are along the decision-making process. Whether you need a repair or some help in finding a quality replacement, give the pros at Lycoming Heating Company a call at 570-244-2510. Back To Blog

Posts for tag: Skin Redness
Is redness causing you to feel embarrassed? Find out what might be causing it.
Have you been battling red skin for a while? Not sure why redness is occurring or what you can do about it? Our Edina, MN, dermatologist Dr. Whitney Tope may have some of the answers you've been looking for. Here are some of the most common causes of redness:
- Dermatitis
- Acne
- Sensitive skin
- Sunburn
- Chemical burn
- Allergic reactions
- Poison ivy
- Bug bites
- Eczema
- Rosacea
What is rosacea?
When people think about skin redness they often think about rosacea. This skin condition can lead to visible blood vessels on the face, red bumps or rashes (which may look like acne), dry eyes and itchy skin. If you suspect that your skin's redness and irritation could be due to rosacea then it's time you called our Edina, MN, skin doctor for an evaluation. Even if you don't think you have rosacea, if you've been trying to calm your skin's redness without results, it's also time to give us a call.
How can I keep redness down?
It's also a good idea to evaluate your daily skin routine to check for things that may be making your redness worse. If you find that you use a lot of exfoliating skin care products you may want to limit their use or be gentler when applying them.
If you have sensitive skin, you may want to avoid cleansers with harsher ingredients. If you use acne-fighting cleansers and notice that your skin is red and irritated, you'll want to talk to us about better skin cleansers and products to use.
You should also apply a moisturizer every day to your skin to keep it supple and hydrated. Dry skin is also more prone to redness, so making sure you find the right moisturizer for your needs is very important. If you need suggestions, we can help!
Also, what you eat could also be fueling your redness. It's never a bad idea to limit or even avoid hot beverages, alcohol or spicy foods, which can exacerbate your symptoms.
If you are dealing with redness or other skin issues, don't hesitate to reach out to Academic Dermatology in Edina, MN, to book an appointment with us. Let's get to the source of your problem quickly so that we can treat it right away.

• Let's face it: brunch is just an excuse to wake up late and keep drinking from the night before. And I'd be curious to see just how many late night hook ups return to YOLO on Sunday mornings to reprise their adventures with the restaurant's new brunch menu. Salmon BLTs, made-to-order omeletes, smoked pork hash, and breakfast burritos may fill the stomach, but they can't cure regret. Only copious amounts of booze can do that, which YOLO has in fierce supply. There's even a custom bloody mary bar where patrons can instruct tenders just how they like their liquid love. The brunch runs from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Call 954-523-1000.

From all accounts the disciples went so far as to say, "if he insists on such madness, he can count us out." But not all of them, not Thomas! His was the voice that rose above the clamour of debate and criticism. "Let us go," he pleaded, "that we might die with him." Here is a cameo shot of the real Thomas – the Thomas whom Jesus chose to be a disciple. Thomas, along with his colleagues, may have seen nothing but death at the end of the road that led through Bethany, but Thomas, absolutely loyal, may have been the one who saved the situation that day, persuading his co-disciples not to leave Jesus in the lurch. Thomas has been called "the honest sceptic and the courageous pessimist." That about sums him up. One thing is sure, it is a great comfort to find Thomas in the pages of the New Testament because there is a bit of Thomas in all of us. I do not understand those Christians who tell me: I" have never known a moment of doubt". Take a look at Thomas – we may find the way to face our own doubts and pessimism.
Thomas doubted, but Thomas faced his doubts honestly, openly and bravely. In an Upper Room in the closing hours of his life, when he was trying to convince the disciples that the way of the Cross was inevitable, Jesus said, "You know where I am going and the way is known to you." But it was a bit too much for Thomas. "Lord," he exclaimed, "we do not know where you are going, how can we know the way?" You have got to take your hat off to Thomas. He could not live with an unasked question. He was not prepared to allow what he did not understand to pass without grappling with it and he refused to believe what he did not understand. We have got to admire his honesty. Transfer him to present times and we might find Thomas unable to sit in the pew and let the preacher get away with it! Follow in Thomas' footsteps and note, from his example, that the way to deal with doubts is not to stifle them, but to bring them out into the open – to look at them as through a microscope with Jesus our mentor. "Thomas," Jesus addressed him, "you may not understand, but you have me: I am the way, the truth, the life." And there came a day when Thomas did understand. When Thomas was told that the Risen Christ had visited his friends he said "unless I see in the hands of Jesus the mark of the nails and can touch the wound on his side, I will never believe it". Then Jesus came to Thomas as he had come to those who needed him most in those bewildering and exciting post-resurrection days. And Jesus did exactly as Thomas required. "Here I am," Jesus said, "Do with me as you wish." Thomas looked and realised there was no need for this kind of testing. In next to no time, his heart bursting with love and overflowing in devotion, the greatest confession of faith any man or woman can make was on his lips: "My Lord and my God." (John 20: 20-29)
Who dares call this man "Doubting Thomas"?

Good things are to be expected from this follow-up from the group to the debut album, Hvonn, of 2007, which was (and still is) very well received.
The release is part of a touring schedule, here in the Faroes in connection with total solar eclipse week, before travelling further to Australia, where the group will perform in Brisbane on the 1st of April, at National Folk Festival in Canberra the 2nd-6th of April, in Melbourne the 7th of April, and at the Fairbridge Festival near Perth on the 9th-12th of April. Kvonn has previously toured Australia, as a full band or individuals, in 2007, 2010 (which also included New Zealand) and 2013.
The name of the new album is the Faroese translation of the Latin 'angelica archangelica' name of the well-known 'hvonn' plant.
The musical style is a windswept one, set in nature. The band's repertoire covers music, composed by the group members themselves - in particular Angelika and Ívar - traditional folk music from Scandinavia and Shetland as well as tunes from the 18th Century notebook of Faroese musician and scholar Jens Christian Svabo.
The group consists of Angelika Nielsen on fiddle, Sharon Weiss on recorder, Ívar Bærentsen on mandolin and guitar, Kristian Blak on piano, and Mikael Blak on bass.
The new album was recorded in January of this year in Studio Bloch in Tórshavn and produced by Kristian Blak. Recording engineer was Finnur Hansen, who also mixed and mastered the album in his own Finnur Hansen Studio in Tórshavn.

Triggers are used to activate certain events or manage the player camera. Triggers are not necessary for a track to work, however, it is recommended that you at least add 'Track dir' triggers, so players know what path to take.
The types of triggers and their uses are listed here.
This trigger is used for the piano in Toy World 1. Usage: For this trigger to work, it must cover the full piano area and the cars that drive on it. To use this trigger in a custom track, the piano must also be in the exact same position as it is in Toy World 1. Flag low: Not used? (60 in Toy World 1) Flag high: Not used? (20 in Toy World 1)
This trigger is used for Time Trial mode. It displays the split time (how many seconds you are ahead or behind your record). Usage: Place halfway through your track, or divide it into 'segments', placing one at the end of each. Note that crossing the start line will act the same way as touching a Split trigger. Flag low: Used for order. Set to '0' for the first trigger you pass through, '1' for the second, ... Flag high: Not used.
This trigger is the most important, because it tells players what the racing line is. Usage: Place before each turn in your track and in sections you think might be confusing (such as two-way paths and intersections). Flag low: Used for type. Here is a text/image list: Flag high: Used for order. Set to '0' for the first trigger you pass through, '1' for the second... You can repeat numbers and use 'Dummy' triggers for multiple-way paths. Examples:
This trigger activates Rail cameras. More information is in the Camera Nodes tutorial. Usage: Place this trigger covering the entirety of your Rail camera path. When a car enters it, the camera is activated. When it leaves, it is deactivated. Flag low: The starting camera ID. Flag high: Not used.
This trigger is not used in stock tracks and rarely used in custom ones. It does not appear to have any effect. It could be related to forcing AI cars back to the racing line. More testing is needed. Usage: Unknown? Flag low: Unknown. Makes a line go around the trigger when the value is '0' through '31'. Attempting to set it to '32' causes it to reset to '0'. In the custom track 'Human Center by human', there are two of these triggers (seen above, first two images). The first one has this value set to '0', the next one has it set to '1'. The motivation for this is unknown, as the value doesn't seem to affect anything. Flag high: Unknown.
This trigger is used to make the camera go closer to the car. Usage: Put in places with low ceilings. Can also be used on ramps, so that the view isn't so terrible. Flag low: Sets how much the camera will be zoomed in (compared to original). Flag high: Not used.
This trigger is used to activate 'Object Thrower' objects. For more information, visit the Objects tutorial. Usage: When a car touches this trigger, the corresponding Object Thrower is activated. Flag low: Set this to the ID of the Object Thrower to be activated. Flag high: Not used.
Usage: Flag low: Flag high:
All cars that touch this trigger will be repositioned, as if the played had pressed their 'Reposition' button. Usage: Place this trigger in an area you do not want the player to access, or where they would probably want to reposition as soon as possible. If you use this to block off access to locations, make sure that the area is clearly marked as 'out of bounds', otherwise, players will be confused. Flag low: Not used. Flag high: Not used.

The Island Hopper 30 was originally developed over 3-1/2 decades ago to fill the need for a small, versatile, commercial grade vessel with strength, durability and a long working life that could be bought for, and maintained at, a reasonable cost. Today it remains as true to those original goals as the day the first Island Hopper was built.
Individually built to order using quality commercial grade components, entirely hand-laid including a solid fiberglass hull with no coring, rugged durability and long life are the trademarks of Island Hoppers everywhere.
Over the years Island Hoppers have developed a devout following far beyond what the original developer foresaw. Fishing captains depend on Island Hoppers worldwide and the same is true for the dive, parasail, ferry and numerous other water-oriented businesses. With literally hundreds of Island Hoppers in service worldwide it has established itself as one of the premier workboats in use today.
While the Island Hopper will continue to evolve with the times and Sea Hawk Industries, Inc. will continue to improve the quality and usability of the boat, the philosophy remains the same; build a strong, durable, dependable boat that is economical to own and operate and whose working life is measured not in years, but decades.

You'll need to update one of the spaces before the H with a hex value. I think Highlight should give you white text.
20 = Normal
21 = Reverse
22 = Highlight
24 = Underline
26 = Highlight & Underline
27 = Nondisplay
30 = Column separators
You can do this using an editor that will let you go into hex mode or you can write a program that will update the position before the H with a hex value.
Hope this helps, if you need more info I'll try and find one of my old programs that does this sort of thing.

How To Make A Vegan Pasta Bake
Going vegan is a great life choice to make, no matter what it is that inspires you to become one. However, if you're transitioning from vegetarianism, or going cold-turkey from being an omnivore, then it can be quite difficult to understand how you're supposed to avoid the foods you want to, when they seem to be shoved under your nose at every corner. It can also seem impossible to make easy meals, when you can't simply throw in some cheese for some instant flavour. As a student, cooking food that is quick, easy and cheap to make is the priority, and if the meals are nutritious too then that's only a bonus. For a meal that ticks all these boxes and is a vegan friendly, cheesy tasting bowl of wonder then simply read on . . .
Why a pasta bake
A pasta bake is a staple in any student household, combining starchy carbs, tasty sauces, crunchy toasted pieces and any veggies you want to chuck in, all in one dish. It's simple to make, easy to store, and quick to reheat, meaning one large batch can feed you for several nights of the week. Simply serve with a side salad and you're good to go! This version is similar to a macaroni cheese dish, but feel free to throw in any veggies you like and use whatever pasta you have to hand.
What you'll need
Egg-less pasta is easy to come by, as it's only fresh pasta that tends to be made with any egg. To make sure you get an egg-less variety, simply check the ingredients on the reverse of your pasta packet. Other ingredients include one onion, unsweetened soy milk, dairy free margarine (Flora have a good option), plain flour, English mustard, nutritional yeast, 5 cloves of garlic, olive oil and breadcrumbs. You can also add a bunch of fresh thyme and some vegan cheese if you like and make sure to chuck in some veggies to boost the nutritional value of your meal. Some good vegetables to use include sweetcorn, mushrooms, peppers, peas, kale, aubergine and courgette. You'll also need salt and pepper, to season.
If you're wondering what on earth nutritional yeast is then you're not the first to be confused. Nutritional yeast, or 'nooch' as it's affectionately referred to in the vegan community, is deactivated yeast which is packed with nutrition, including those all important B vitamins. It comes in a flaked or powdered variety and its flavour as been described as cheesy, nutty, savoury and umami. If you're looking to create a dish with a cheese sauce, or add an eggy tang to scrambled tofu, this is the product you need.
How to make it
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius and cook 350g of pasta in salted, boiling water according to the instructions on the packet. Peel and halve your onion and place it in a pan over a medium heat with 1 litre of millk. Slowly bring to the boil then remove from the heat, taking out the onion, too. In another pan, again over a medium heat, melt 100g of margarine, then add 85g of flour until it forms a paste from mixing. Gradually add the warm milk, whisking continuously until smooth. Bring this mixture to the boil then simmer for 10 minutes, or until thickened. Stir in 1 heaped teaspoon of mustard and one and a half tablespoons of 'nooch'. Season to taste.
Drain your pasta, stir into the sauce, then transfer to a baking dish before setting aside. Peel and finely slice 5 cloves of garlic then pick the thyme leaves from half a bunch. Add this to a pan over a medium heat with a splash of oil, cooking for two to three minutes before transferring to a food processor with the breadcrumbs and another splash of oil. Blitz until combined then sprinkle over the pasta. If you don't have a food processor you can skip this step and simply scatter your breadcrumbs over the surface of the pasta. Place the dish in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden. Leave to stand for five minutes then serve with a side salad or green veggies.

We've all experienced a minor electric "shock" or discharge of static electricity when touching a door handle or metal object after walking across a carpeted floor. At worst, these electric discharges are annoying or perhaps mildly painful, but what if you're handling delicate electronic equipment that is sensitive to electrical events?.
Facilities that manufacture and repair sensitive electronics such as semiconductors and avionic instruments need comprehensive plans to protect both the equipment and employees. Oftentimes, static control floor coatings are a part of this plan.
Tennant's Eco-ECE 30 mil system is a conductive epoxy system, which uses Eco-MPE™ as the prime coat and build coat and Eco-ECE as the conductive topcoat in a gloss finish
A nominal 35 mil, static dissipative system which includes an epoxy primer and an epoxy topcoat with a conductive powder and a gloss appearance
A nominal 25 mil static dissipative system with an epoxy primer and light stable urethane topcoat with a satin finish for long-lasting durability
While we all come into contact with static electricity on a daily basis, it is rarely a cause for concern. But in facilities that process and manufacture sensitive electronics, explosive materials, or volatile chemicals, static electricity can pose a threat in a variety of ways.
What is Electrostatic Dissipative (ESD) and Conductive Flooring? Electrostatic dissipative flooring, also known as ESD flooring, works like a grounding rod. It is conductive at the level appropriate for allowing static electricity to safely flow through it and reach a grounding point, where the charge is then removed from the room. ESD epoxy and urethane flooring systems improve safety by allowing for the continual discharge and dissipation of a certain level of electric energy in a given space. Where do you typically use ESD and conductive flooring? ESD flooring is typically used in facilities that require protection of electronics. Conductive flooring is typically used in potentially explosive settings. Therefore so it is important to consider Tennant's various static control flooring systems if your facility handles sensitive electronics or volatile, unstable materials.
At Tennant Coatings, we are proud to offer high quality flooring systems that meet the demands of most commercial and industrial settings. Ask our team about options for to receive the same level of quality and care you've come to expect from Tennant Company floor cleaning systems.

She lives in Australia and I live in U.S (California) I have enough money to go see her as well. I really really REALLY have strong feelings for this girl.... shes one of the very very few girls I've met around my age group who is a virgin and who doesn't go out partying/drinking or any of that junk. I would be literally shattered if our parents wouldn't allow us to be together. We've even talked about marriage... I literally think this girl is perfect for me in every way besides the muslim part. I just don't know what to do... I know if I don't try I'll be crushed for ages. I know this sounds crazy and maybe even pathetic but I just can't help these feelings... I pray everyday to Jesus that it all works out and for her to find him and be saved. Need some insight guys. This has been keeping me awake at night for the past few weeks. By the way I forgot to mention we've been talking on fb/skype ...etc for 4 years ... and she just recently revealed her feelings to me. I liked her the whole time but didn't think she liked me in that way. She says she loves me because my strong morals and trying to always be pure.

A few years back, I tossed some orange cosmos seeds in a bed out front. I've been collecting the seeds and spreading them ever since. I've now got a few yellow cosmos–mutants!
I got a cool background in the next one by holding the flower still while the wind blew the other plants around.
These are pictures I took while experimenting with creating dark backgrounds. I mean, sure. Unless there are enough stops between the foreground and the background, you can't really get a super dark background. But, I wanted to see what the results would be like under different lighting situations than I had in my shade garden.

The Advantages of Using An Online Patient Appointment Scheduling System
B sadewo August 16th, 2010
The online patient appointment scheduling system has been recommended by doctors and medical offices around the country due to its reliability and dependability. When you have the system in place, it can schedule your patients' appointments accurately. Meaning, there won't be one slot occupied by two patients. The best thing about the system is that it can run unsupervised and with no human interference at all. Thus, reducing the risk of human errors. Patients can easily log in to the system and book the time slot they feel convenient the most. Easy, simple and efficient — both to your medical office and your patients.
Wait, there's more! Using the advanced feature, the system will automatically synchronize the data with your online calendar, such as Google Calendar. Both doctors and patients will be able to view the data using smartphones, such as the iPhone and Blackberry. If somehow the doctor need to make some changes to the appointment, he can do so just by logging into the website. The changes made will also be informed directly to the patient.
If your medical office has been plagued by a large amount of patient no-shows, you'd be glad to know that the system also has a feature that will remind the patients about their appointments. No more burdening your medical staff to do mundane works of manually calling the patients one by one to remind them of their appointments, the patient reminder system will do it automatically. Best of all, your patients can select how they would like to be reminded — either through text and e-mail messages or phone calls.
All in all, getting the online patient appointment scheduling system will not only make your medical office run more effectively, but it will also improve your bottom line — as you can reduce patient no-shows significantly.
