GOP Doctors Talk Healthcare on the House Floor
Washington, Oct 16 – Members of the House GOP Doctors Caucus took to the floor this morning to talk about the Democrat's health care proposal and its affect on their patients. In the coming weeks, Republican members of Congress with healthcare backgrounds will begin each morning with speeches on the need for real healthcare reforms and how current proposals will affect patients.
Excerpts from the floor are as follows:
House GOP Doctors Caucus Co-Chair Dr. Phil Gingrey (GA-11): "Our seniors have suffered tremendously since our recession began. Their 401k retirement plans are 201k's and the dollar doesn't buy as much as it did last year. However, my Democratic colleagues don't think seniors have paid enough this year. So, now they are asking our seniors to foot the bill for health insurance reform by cutting the Medicare program of $500 billion. Those cuts will result in seniors losing benefits under the Medicare Advantage program such as vision, dental, hearing, or even annual checkups. Those cuts will result in longer wait times or simply make it harder for senior patients to find a doctor that will see them at all. Worst of all, those cuts will ensure it will be harder to fix Medicare when it runs out of money in 7 years."
House GOP Doctors Caucus Co-Chair Dr. Tim Murphy (PA-18): "Health care costs are not high because people have health insurance. Costs are high because there is $800 billion of waste in the system. Now the Senate is proposing to increase taxes on health insurance. As someone practicing in the health care field, I know it is bad medicine. Congress needs to figure out ways to lower health care costs instead of discouraging people from having health insurance."
Dr. Paul Broun (GA-10): "I have practiced general medicine in the state of Georgia for almost four decades. The American people need to understand that if the House bill or the Senate bill gets passed into law, physicians like me all across this nation are not going to be able to give the kind of care to their patients that they are able to provide today. Medicare patients are going to lose the quality care that they are getting today. Tens of thousands of people are going to lose their private insurance. The cost is going to go up for everybody in this country. The quality of care is going to go down. It is going to be too costly. We are going to be all forced on the bureaucrat-run health care system and the American people need to know this."
Our congressman Scott Murphy (D-NY) appears to be in lock step with Obama/Pelosi/Reid on this POS bill. Contact Congressman Murphy and tell him no Obamacare. Also contact our two Senators.

By Jill Gardner from Killer Party by Lynn Cahoon
The end of summer is kind of a mixed blessing here in South Cove. I mean, it's California, so we don't go into a snow bound cabin mode after summer leaves. But the rhythm of our lives change a little. We have fall festivals and lots of weekend visitors, but the summer ease of being off for a week and hanging out at the beach isn't happening. At least not for the visitors.
I on the other hand love taking long fall weeks where I'm off work and have no plans. I putter around the house, try new recipes, find soups I want to make and freeze for winter lunches, and sit on the empty beach with a book and my cooler filled with flavored waters. The sun is gentle during these visits. The birds vocal. Emma loves running back and forth with the waves.
And it gives me a sense of peace. A sense of calm the frantic summer months don't provide. Yes, I'm an introvert stuck in an extrovert job, so I need these breaks from peopling. And hanging out at an empty beach is just the ticket.
What about you? Do you love the beach crowds of summer? Or are you more like me (and my author, Lynn) and love the quiet of walking the sands alone?
Murder and Memories - the long awaited 10th book of the Tourist Trap book is releasing November 12th, 2019. What's going on with Aunt Jackie?
It's October in South Cove, California, and the locals in the quaint resort seem to be happily pairing off in the lull before the holidays. Everyone, that is, except for Jill Gardner's elderly aunt, who just dumped her besotted fiancé—and she won't say why.
When Jill hosts a talk at Coffee, Books, and More on the topic of elder abuse, all that's really on her mind is lunch. But the topic hits close to home when she discovers Aunt Jackie has been getting mysterious calls. Jill's certain the caller is a con artist, of course, but her feisty aunt claims to understand this, though she's still shaken—and Harrold's still heartbroken. Who's behind the scam and why was her aunt targeted? When a volunteer from the Senior Project is found murdered, Jill's detective boyfriend is on the case—and it soon becomes clear no one is safe when a caller from beyond becomes a killer in their midst.
Sign up for my mailing list and get in on the fun! Summer in South Cove's postcard challenge is running until September 30th. Find out more in my latest newsletter or on the website. www.lynncahoon.com

July 29, 2011
2nd night in Glacier National Park. I think we are touristed out, and have spent the last two days hanging out at the beautiful lake here. We did see a black bear last night on the side of the road. I was too excited to get a pic, but it was so cool to see him/her foraging around in the grass.
Tomorrow is our 34th wedding anniversary. I think we will take the shuttle to Logan's Pass to celebrate (our truck is too big to take the road, but the shuttle is free!).
My dear son is home from Europe. Well, by home, I mean in Canada, but that is good enough for me! My dear girl is blogging away on the east coast, and I feel so far from both of them. My eldest sister had surgery yesterday, and I spent all day trying to use phone cards, pay phones, and flaky cell service to get an update on her progress. By 4pm I was in fretful tears, but by 7 I had heard from both my niece and my younger sister to learn all is well.
I am so used to being connected via facebook, or email, or texting and not being connected has made me fretful. However, yesterday texts from both my kids - so that made me much more relieved.
I am getting lots of sun, walking, and eating well. I am reading alot! I finished Anna Karenina, and before starting War and Peace I read a trashy romance novel. I also found an odd little book called 'from intellect to intuition' by Alice Baylie who clearly was a contemporary of Steiner. She is just as difficult to read, but it is interesting.
Let's see, what else? Our truck is running well - so far so good. I think we will head to Waterton Park on Sunday - and then work our way back home. It will be odd to go home and not have Mitzi there yelling at us for being away.
I am not feeling all that philosophic, so this is just a diary entry of doings. Just wishing I could gather all my family under my wings and keep them close to me and safe. Just wishing.

Following the successful launch of the Adventist Government High School, Governor of the State ofOsun, Rauf Aregbesola has commissioned another government elementary school, the AUD Government Elementary School.
The Governor, dressed in a similar uniform to that of the elementary school pupils stressed that the commissioning of schools and other infrastructures across the state are in fulfilment of his government's promise to provide functional basic education for the pupils in the state. See pictures after the cut.
Governor State of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, addressing the crowd shortly before he commissioned AUD Government Elementary School, Sabo, Osogbo on Tuesday 29-11-2016.

Inset is from left, Chairman State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Prince Felix Awofisayo; Governor Aregbesola; his wife, Sherifat; Member State House of Assembly, Hon.Musibau Azeez and Permanent Secretary SUBEB, Mr Fatai Kolawole on Tuesday 29-11-2016
The A.U.D Government Elementary Schoo in Sabo Osogbol is 22 full classrooms, each capable of accommodating 50 pupils. It has a multipurpose function hall, a sick bay, computer room, a principal's office and the secretary's office.
There is a recreation centre, including a small playing field. The conveniences include six blocks of toilets for pupils and staff, each having three squat pans and WC, making a total of 24. The seventh block is designated for staff with four cubicles of WC. The principal's office also has a private toilet.
Aregbesola stated that elementary school is the basis of the basic education, hence, any child with a good elementary school foundation will have no problem making progress educationally. He noted that A.U.D school is one of the 100 elementary schools his administration is building, out of which 20 are already completed.
The Governor added that government is also building 50 middle schools from which it has completed 22.
He held that his administration has also carried out renovations on 40 other schools which give a total of 1,694 standard classrooms in the existing elementary, middle and high schools, providing accommodation for nearly 90,000 pupils.
Aregbesola said, "We have provided for them more than 100,000 desks and chairs, toilets and boreholes and made schools decent places to be. We have provided 50,000 eLearning tablets (Opon Imo) for grade 12 final year high school pupils in the state.
"This has benefitted three sets already while the fourth set, i.e. the current final year set are receiving the tablet as we speak. In addition to building schools, we have recruited more than 12,000 teachers to boost manpower in the school system. We are also motivating the teachers.
"We have put in place a policy that makes teachers in elementary and middle schools to rise to grade level 16. We have, in addition, appointed three Tutors General, equivalent of Permanent Secretary, in the three senatorial districts in the state.
"We have established the Osun Education Quality Assurance and Morality Enforcement Agency to assure education quality and enforce morality in our schools.
"Our overall vision is to develop the new man intellectually, socially and morally. This new man is placed in the centre of society who views his own development as part of and for the development of society". The Governor told the gathering.
Speaking earlier, Chairman, State Universal Basic Education, SUBEB, Prince Felix Awofisayo commended Governor Aregbesola for prudently managing the scarce resources of the state especially on schools restructuring.
Deputy Governor Mrs Grace Titi Laoye-Tomori who described the new school as one of the series of the state-of-the-arts schools currently being constructed across the state, said efforts have also been put in place to sustain the new education policies and programmes for the betterment of all.

We have many educators who are studying further Diploma and Degree qualifications. We also provide our educators with a comprehensive Professional Development program.

So, we did it. We made it to the weekend. *Clicking heels together!!*
Maybe you had a rough week. Maybe you felt like you couldn't get ahead. Maybe you got egg yolk in your freshly washed hair…twice. Maybe you made a holistic decision to try and cure your sinus headaches with peppermint oil. Maybe you used too much. Maybe you somehow managed to get that peppermint oil not only UP your nose, but also all over your lips and in your eyes. Maybe the only way to remedy the burning in this situation was to put Greek yogurt on a couple of Q-tips and shove the Q-tips up your nose. Maybe (definitely) your dog insists on humping your leg if you look at her the wrong way. The mother and daughter relationship starts to get weird. She's five months now, and her hormones are flowing free. You wish you could just leave a copy of "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret" in her crate, but she never learned to read human.
Maybe this is just uniquely my week. Maybe not. I am sure you have had your very own set of trials, tribulations and TPS reports.
Either way, it's the weekend. The troubles of the week are over. The peppermint oil has stopped burning the inside of my nose and the corners of my eyes. There is no egg yolk in my hair today (yet). The dog will continue to hump me, but you can't win em' all right? Things are looking up.
What do you say we have a cocktail together? Yes? Perfect.
I have just reunited with Gin. My husband and I bought a bottle last weekend and both agree that it goes down nicely. Flowery and smooth.
Here is the easy as pie cocktail that we concocted. (BTW, why do we say "Easy As Pie?" Pie isn't that easy. How about easy as a PB&J?)
You will need:
1 to 2 shots of Gin (It's a Saturday. No judgements.)
Juice of 1/2 a lime
Fill the rest of your glass with pomegranate soda.
Put all of your ingredients into a glass with plenty of ice. Stir it up. Or Shake it in a shaker. No biggie.
Garnish with a lime wedge
Sip on your Gin and Juice
Crank up some music with a lot of bass
Have a dance party
CHEERS, FRIENDS!! Have a fantastic Saturday.PAID ENDORSEMENT DISCLOSURE: In order for me to support my blogging activities, I may receive monetary compensation or other types of remuneration for my endorsement, recommendation, testimonial and/or link to any products or services from this blog.

Since the election there's been a lot of speculation about how the new administration will affect the remodeling industry. If remodelers are anything like the rest of the country, opinions are split about 50-50. About half are hoping that less regulation and lower taxes will make their lives easier and their businesses more profitable; the other half worry that we'll throw the baby out with the bath water, and that lower standards will mark a return to the Wild West.
We'll have to wait and see. But I think it's unproductive to point to external forces as the reason a business succeeds or fails. My experience both in the industry and as an informed observer tells me that four factors that are entirely under your control will have a much greater effect on a company's fate. Get better at any one of these and your company will be in position to win no matter what happens comes Jan. 20, 2017.
1. Know your numbers. Remodelers are good at construction math, like adding dimensions or calculating discounts, but many (dare I say most?) are winging it when it comes to pricing their work or keeping track of revenue and expenses. You don't need to be an accountant, but you do need to understand how accounting works—not just the software, but what the numbers mean.
If you don't know where to begin, start with Michael Stone's blog or read his book, Markup & Profit Revisited. Another good book is A Simple Guide to Turning a Profit as a Contractor, by Melanie Hodgdon and Leslie Shiner. And all three authors are available for a personal consultation as well.
2. Learn how to sell. Being comfortable talking with strangers is a prerequisite for making a sale, but there's a lot more to it. Solving a homeowner's problem usually wins the sale, but most remodelers are too busy talking about their company to hear the homeowner tell them what kind of help they really need. The result is a lot of wasted time and missed opportunities, or, worse, a race to the bottom on price.
Think you can improve without outside help? Don't bet on it. One of the most effective training programs for remodelers is Sandler Training, which has in-person trainers in most major markets and also offers online follow-up. Or attend our Extreme Sales Summit next September. Other options are out there as well—but doing nothing is not one of them.
3. Commit to marketing. Referrals are the main source of leads for most remodelers, but they don't happen by themselves—at least not for long. The solution is marketing, some of which is easy and some of which is hard, and all of which is too often ignored. Change that by getting advice from a professional marketer who knows this industry. Then avoid making the three most common mistakes: not spending enough on marketing, not measuring the results, and not continuing to market even after winning some work.
4. Join the club. As the business of remodeling gets more complex, you can't afford to operate in isolation. Most of the successful company owners I have known have at one time or another regularly met with their peers as part of a formal program, like Les Cunningham's Business Networks or Victoria Downing's Remodelers Advantage. Most are also members of one or both of our industry's professional associations, the National Association of the Remodeling Industry and NAHB Remodelers. Some also meet informally with friendly noncompetitors to make sure they don't miss anything.
Making these improvements won't be easy and it wont be cheap. But it's something you can control regardless of how you feel about the election.

When it comes to developing a city brand, it's tempting to look to other areas for examples. But, the secret to place branding lies in highlighting a city's unique characteristics — not mimicking a tried-and-true formula.

So, its September already, and heading to October rapidly!!! Where did August go??? I am trying to recall August but just can not seem to remember most of it for some reason. Maybe my dogs have taken control of the brain. LOL. In the turfgrass industry, August is often seen as a transition month, where you tend to get into cruise control, which leads to some pretty uneventful moments. The truth is that August was a great month for the course, in terms of weather actually cooperating with certain cultural practices that had to be done, and we had just enough rain from time to time to help keep things green out there. I did not have to irrigate very often either, which is always a bonus. Some are saying that this is the best they have ever seen Mountain woods, which is great for the reputation of the club and gives you folks bragging rights!!!! I will always say that it has a long way to go!!!
I must say, it has been a lot more fun maintaining the putting surfaces with the new foliar program. It has allowed healthier surfaces, with growth control in humidity, which has led to better cut quality and overall better surfaces that are consistent throughout the day. Because the weather actually did cooperate, we were able to topdress heavily twice, which really smoothed the greens surfaces. Maybe a bit too quick for some, but the speed we ran the past 4-6 weeks is really where I like the speed to be. For the upcoming Rodger Burns Invitational, they are going to be as fast as the weather permits. Hoping to be around 12-13 on the stimp for this tournament!!! I hope you have been enjoying the greens this year. They are not perfect but are pretty good. One thing I would like to share with you is my feelings, and the industry's feelings on the flagstick left in while putting rule change. I feel that this is by far one of the dumbest rule changes that the PGA has ever come up with. There was no consideration for the turfgrass maintenance departments who have to deal with torn cup edges. When the flag is left in, there is no room to put your hand in and pull a ball out, without tearing the cup edge. Also, a lot of golfers use the flagstick, in a rapid upward movement, to remove the ball, which really tears the edges. Most golf courses do not have enough staff to change cups daily, this one included. So please take the flag out. The laws of physics dictate that if a hole is smaller, then there is statistically less chance of the ball going in it!!!
just recently I have been testing a new wetting agent for the tees, that allows for better water penetration, and retention, which has allowed better divot recovery. It is an inexpensive option for this club and is something that is sustainable. After the application was done, there was an immediate response in the turf health, and filled divots germinated much faster. The tees also required less water and were still able to stay green. Unfortunately, many of our tee decks are actually too small to handle the amount of traffic that goes through Mountain woods, but there are long-term plans to improve some of them. Don't forget to fill your divots. One person I should mention is one of our hardworking staff named Louis Snyder. Louis has the morning routine job to get tee deck areas ready, and divot mix made and topped up. This year Louis decided to ramp up his efforts and has been filling divots as part of the morning routine. Its has made a huge difference. Thanks, Louis.
This year, with just a little bit more rain, we have been able to provide better fairways, than any other year. There is still a lot of knot-weed problems, but turf is winning, and the knot-weed will be sprayed on specific fairways shortly. I have also been testing the same wetting agent used on the tees, on a few trouble fairways we have. The fairways 1,3,4,5,6 were treated recently, and there have been some great results, that make the future management of these areas a lot more promising. We are always trying something on these areas to improve the playability. Thanks for following the 90-degree rule!!!
The last few weeks of the season, as we progress into Fall, are often the ones that the crew enjoy the most. Temperatures are cooler, and the turf is actually a bit easier to maintain. Over the next few weeks, there will be a lot of preparation for the Rodger Burns tournament, and we are still trying to clean-up from the weekend tropical storm. I would like to thank the volunteers, Don Perron and Danny Morash, for coming out and helping us with cart path washouts. I hope you guys didn't need too much physio after that day!!! And we didn't even get you a coffee!!! Anytime, if any of all of you fine folks feel the urge to get some physical exercise, just let us know. We have an entire forest full of branches, down-falls, etc… Until next time!!!!
A lot of the course looked like this after the storm!!!
Shop area after the storm.. This is a lot deeper than the picture shows. The shop flooded also.

If you read this, Mom, sorry again for the unladylikeness of this post.
Brace yourselves. I have another bathroom adventure to share.
The main toilet in the downstairs bathroom had been running all day. It's an OOOOLLLLDDDD toilet with a European-style "push button" flusher. (Honestly, this little old toilet was one of the main things that attracted me to the house we currently live in – it reminded me of Germany).
So after reading "How Toilets Work" on the Internet, I put on my Mrs. Fix-it hat and set to work. Hope was in bed, and Rhema was in the kitchen having a late night snack.
I took off the tank cover and inspected the guts of the toilet. Ew. I curiously lifted the floater ball thingy by the metal arm, thinking that action alone might solve my problem.
But I must have lifted the arm too high because the whole durn thing snapped off in my hand! Water sprayed everywhere, and I screamed (again). It was like someone was beaming me with a Super Soaker. Water was spraying everywhere, and I couldn't stop it. Every time I tried to stop it, I would get sprayed in the face.
And I just had a real problem with getting sprayed in the face with toilet water. Was it not enough to have been doused with milk last week?
Rhema appeared and began squealing and dancing around on her toes in the bathroom. Woohoo, a full-blast water sprinkler in the house!
"No Rhema, noooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!"
I managed to push her out of the bathroom (getting soaked in the process.) Then I closed the door and locked it. The risk of leaving her unattended for a few minutes while I tried to stop the water was a risk I was going to have to take.
I figured out that if I held my fingers over the metal thingamajig in the toilet, the water would stop spraying. But if I lifted my fingers – let the pressure off – even just a bit the water would spray. By this time, we already had a nice little flood going.
So I stood there with my fingers over the thingamajig for a good 15 minutes, eloquently pleading to the God of heaven and earth to give me a clue. "God,whatdoIdo. WhatdoIdo. WhatdoIdo. Idon'tknowwhattodo."
I looked around to see if there was anything heavy within my reach that I could use to hold down the thingamajig. The box of wipes on the floor was not heavy enough.
Then I saw my cell phone on the bathroom counter.
Called Brandon. No. Answer.
Called my dad. Thank God I can call my dad. I had just called him a few days earlier to help me fix a broken bed. (Yes, Rhema decided to break her bed this week).
"Um Dddaaddy? How do I turn off the potty?" I was a tad hysterical.
"Sweetie, just turn the valve off at the base of the toilet," he said calmy.
The first time I turned the valve the wrong way and got even more water. The second time I turned it the right way until the water finally shut off.
I thanked everybody – my dad, the Lord, the toilet – which is now "out of service" – for shutting off. How do you spell r-e-l-i-e-f?
Then I had a good laugh at the thought of Rhema dancing in the water.
Because "a merry heart doeth good like a medicine." (Prov. 17:22)

Why Should You Buy Facebook Reviews?
It is a 'smartest' strategy to buy Facebook reviews for your Facebook pages at the very beginning of your business. Because you don't have much time to spare in generating, or making them by yourself at the very starting of your business. Because you have a highly competitive long way in front of you which really requires more time & attention than now.
So, you must follow some short-cut way which is available and dependable like to buy facebook Buy facebook ratings & reviews, likes, comments, video views etc.
A recent study has shown that 85% people believe reviews as much as the personal recommendation.
Reasons to Buy Facebook Reviews
It is necessary to buy facebook page reviews for boosting your business within a short time in a cost-effective way.
Facebook has become the most productive marketing platform now. Because the marketing structure of Facebook is stronger and arranged that almost all other social media platforms. Their system is not as much improved as Facebook. So, being a marketer or, new company Facebook is the best marketing platform for acquiring more success within a less time.
Therefore, it is really important to become more strategic in the marketing os Facebook.
Fast Process :
You should buy Facebook reviews because getting organic reviews is a slow process.
Generally, it takes a long period of time to get a good number of reviews from the likes of your page. People only give a good review when they are highly pleased after having a very good service related to your page. So, it is better to buy Facebook reviews from any website.
Being first, the starting is always very troublesome. It becomes very hard and time-consuming to get a good number of reviews at the starting. So, organic review generating is a slow and uncertain process.
Eventually, you need to buy Facebook page reviews for a faster growth of your business.
To Avoid People's Disinterest in Reviewing :
Again, there is another type of customer, who hardly see the good sides of your services. No matter how much good service you provide to them, you will always get a 2 or, 3-star reviews in the place of getting 5-star facebook page reviews.
Moreover, when a page contains a good number of 5-star reviews with positive comments, then it becomes easy to convert them to your customer. People always value you when you have something exceptional. When your page will have a good number of views, then it will get easier for you o get more positive reviews.

Is Obama incompetent?
Frankly, I doubt that he and his gang of socialist toadies is any more incompetent than any other Democratic Senator with no meaningful executive experience. On the other hand, you could probably fill a sock with cat shit and fling it into a Green Day concert and smack somebody who could do a better job.
Sure, our investments are losing value faster than any time in recorded history, and the Obama State Department can't even keep friggin' England happy with some fish-and-chips. Also, it appears that he picks his cabinet by going through a book of mugshots and choosing the ones with the least-noticeable tattoos.
OK, maybe he is exactly as incompetent as we feared he would be. Maybe his room-temperature IQ is fouling the gears of government to an extent that our little 10-speed is going to lose its chain.
What concerns me is that the loving, tolerant and profoundly racist Left of this country are going to sadly shake their heads, lower their expectations, move their goalposts and promote him socially to the next grade without ever examining why Obammy can't read.
And if they do that, they'll set back the cause of African-Amricans by twenty years.
Their first will be our last, and that would be sad. Because there are African-Americans who better deserve to be in the office than Barack H. Obama. And I think he's ruining the place for all of us.
Interior Decision on Oil Shale Locks Away American Energy Resource Larger than Total Reserves of Middle East
Earlier this week, Secretary Salazar suggested America's massive and homegrown reserves of oil shale held 'great potential.' Unfortunately, the Interior Department's decision today may help ensure that potential never becomes reality – in the process, locking-away an American energy resource larger than the total reserves of the entire Middle East.
Well, it's not like it isn't exactly what we expected an Obama Department of the Interior to do.

If your site is not as popular as you'd like, it may have certain flaws of which you're unaware. Take a close look at your website and make sure it doesn't have any of the following FAILS.
Website is Not Updated Consistently
If your website has not been updated recently, visitors will not be able to find content that's current and interesting. It's important to keep your site current and topical so that people have a reason to visit. Sites that don't have recent content are also less likely to be found by the search engines. This means fewer people will be able to find your website. The more content you have, and the more frequently your site is updated, the easier it is for people to find.
Navigation is Not User-Friendly
If your website is difficult to navigate, visitors will not spend much time there. It should be easy for people to find what they're looking for. This is a problem found on both small and large websites. A well-known example of the latter is the website to sign up for healthcare in the US, which has been notoriously difficult to navigate. Make sure that your website's menu is easy to navigate and that pages are clearly and accurately labeled.
Not Mobile-Friendly
As more and more people access the internet on their smartphones and tablets, it's essential to make your site accessible to everyone. One way to make sure your site can be viewed properly by everyone is to use responsive design. This is a type of design that automatically adjusts layouts to fit the screens of any type of device. If your site is not currently responsive or you aren't sure how to do this, you should consult with Compusmart Solutions or a similar a web design agency that offers responsive design.
Lack of Call to Action
Unless your website is only for social or entertainment purposes, it should have some type of call to action. For example, if you want to get people to sign up for your list or newsletter, you should have an opt-in form on your home page. You should have a call to action on every page of your website. Otherwise people will just visit and leave without doing what you want them to do.
For a website to be successful, it must provide a satisfactory experience for visitors. It should also be optimized for the search engines. Make sure that your site does not have any of the above flaws. Fortunately, it's usually not very difficult to correct such mistakes, either on your own or with the help of a qualified web design or SEO agency.

Newfoundland and Labrador government exploring ways to improve dementia and Alzheimer's health-care services
There's work happening now at the provincial government level to see what can be done to improve health-care services for people with dementia and Alzheimer's.
Last year, the province started consultations for a Dementia Care Action Plan to increase awareness, improve supports and services and improve the capacity of the workforce to care for people living with dementia and Alzheimer's. Those consultations concluded earlier this month with an in-person session held in Gander.
Shirley Lucas, executive director of the Alzheimer Society of Newfoundland and Labrador (ASNL), has attended some of these sessions.
"It's really good that they went out to get consultation from the people who are using the services, both from the individual and the families, to kind of help provide some insight as to what the needs are out there," Lucas told The Telegram. "Having been part of the consultations in various locations, I found that the family contribution was very valuable. I think that they actually referenced things that in my mind I was saying, 'Oh, I never thought of that. That's a pretty easy fix, and we didn't look at that as an option.' I think that's really important — to give people voices to bring about change within any part of the health-care sector."
As an organization, ASNL has identified a number of issues it wants the province to address:
- Improved co-ordination of services for people with dementia;
- Increased access to community supports such as home-based care and home support programs;
- More education for health-care professionals.
To address the latter item, ASNL will launch an e-Learning program later this year aimed at those medical professionals. Currently, ASNL also provides information kits on the different stages of dementia, though it only distributes these kits through community organizations. Lucas would like to get them shared more broadly, noting her own organization's resources are limited.

Patrick Blackburn, meet Gideon Summerfield…
From a summary of a politically correct 1995 feminist detective novel about quilts, A Piece of Justice—
The story deals with "one Gideon Summerfield, deceased." Summerfield, a former tutor at (the fictional) St. Agatha's College, Cambridge University, "is about to become the recipient of the Waymark prize. This prize is awarded in Mathematics and has the same prestige as the Nobel. Summerfield had a rather lackluster career at St. Agatha's, with the exception of one remarkable result that he obtained. It is for this result that he is being awarded the prize, albeit posthumously." Someone is apparently trying to prevent a biography of Summerfield from being published.
Compare and contrast with an episode from the resume of a real Gideon Summerfield—
Head of Strategy, Designer City (May 1999 — January 2002)
Secured Web agency business from new and existing clients with compelling digital media strategies and oversaw delivery of creative, production and technical teams…. Clients included… Greenfingers and Lord of the Dance .
For material related to Greenfingers and Lord of the Dance , see Castle Kennedy Gardens at Wicker Man Locations.
Notes on Mathematics and Narrative
Commentary on The Wicker Man—
Originally The Wicker Man was not well-received by critics in the UK. It was considered
to be bizarre, disturbing, and uncomfortable, with the hasty editing making the story confusing
and out of order…. Today this movie is considered a cult classic and has been called
the "Citizen Kane of horror films" by some reviewers. How did this film become a cult classic?

Illustration— The fire leap scene from Wicker Man, filmed at Castle Kennedy—
In today's New York Times, Michiko Kakutani reviews a summer thriller
by Kevin Guilfoile. The Thousand is in the manner of Dan Brown's
2003 The Da Vinci Code or of Katherine Neville's 1988 The Eight .
From the review—
What connects these disparate events, it turns out, is a sinister organization
called the Thousand, made up of followers of the ancient Greek mathematician
and philosopher Pythagoras (yes, the same Pythagoras associated with
the triangle theorem that we learned in school).
As Mr. Guilfoile describes it, this organization is part Skull and Bones,
part Masonic lodge, part something much more twisted and nefarious….
The plot involves, in part,
… an eccentric artist's mysterious masterwork, made up of thousands of
individually painted tiles that may cohere into an important message….
Not unlike the tiles in the Diamond Theory cover (see yesterday's post)
or, more aptly, the entries in this journal.

[bangkok post] The hottest issue in recent weeks has been the proposal by the Finance Ministry to convert 2G mobile concessions granted by the TOT and CAT into a licence for 15 years to help the two agencies survive as the owners of the 2G network assets under the build-transfer-operate concession terms, a Thai Rath writer said.
However, the Thai Rath writer quoted the opinion of a telecom expert, who requested anonymity, that it was not easy to convert the existing concessions which run out in three, five and eight years to a new licence as both sides (AIS, DTAC, True, TOT and CAT) must all agree to amend the contracts.
Another hurdle to overcome is that under existing contracts there is no provision to extend the remaining contract terms to 15 years as it might require conforming to the Public Private Joint Venture Act 1992 and might contravene the Telecommunication Business Act 2001. The latter states that if the contractual parties agree to convert the original telecom concession and seek an operating licence from the National Telecommunication Commission, the NTC can only grant the licence to preserve the original rights and duration of the concession term.
"Don't forget that the telecom business value exceeds one billion baht [which is under the jurisdiction of the Public Private Joint Venture Act] and that extending the licence to 15 years may constitute a criminal act under Section 157 of the Criminal Code which forbids government officials from acting to benefit other parties, not the state," the expert said.
"Those who contemplate doing this must think long and hard as they might face a jail term if someone takes up this issue and files a lawsuit."
He cited the example of the Thaksin Shinawatra government which issued a regulation requiring part of the concession payment to be converted to an excise tax which was later found by the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Position as not acting in the government's interests. This was the case even though the Finance Ministry imposed the tax and the regulation did not touch the concession's duration.
The expert cast doubt on whether the private operators would agree to terminate the existing 2G concession contract in return for a 15-year licence if they have to pay expensive 2G licence fees. The only exception is one mobile operator, whose concession expires in three years, who might not be able to secure financing to expand the existing 2G network as well as invest in the new 3G network as it is still in the red.
The existing mobile operators would prefer to concentrate on the new 3G network investment for which they will have to pay at least 12.8 billion baht for initial licence fees and at least 50 billion baht to expand the network in the first three years to cover at least 80% of the area as required by the NTC's terms of reference.
The expert said the proposal to convert the 2G concessions to a 15-year licence has come at the wrong time as such a complex issue should have been discussed and agreed previously. It is no good to agree to the proposal first and then thrash out the details later. The media must closely follow the issue to make sure the consumers get the most benefit from this change in concession terms.
Commenting on the coming 3G licence bid, the expert wanted the NTC to prescribe a maximum fee to be levied on consumers so they would not be overcharged. But he said the NTC should not demand that the initial licence fee bid be too high because it would place a burden on private operators and force them to pass on the costs to consumers.
"The government should not think about earning hefty fees from 3G licence bids as the state already earns 30% corporate tax as well as seven percent VAT. If the private operators earn more, the state also receives more in tax revenue," the expert said.
The NTC must prescribe that the 3G and 2G networks can interconnect (roaming) seamlessly as new 3G customers cannot use the 3G service effectively in the initial phase because of time constraints in constructing the national network.
This means 3G operators must be able to roam all 2G networks without being restricted to one particular 2G network so as to best benefit 3G consumers in terms of coverage and convenience.
As for the future of TOT and CAT, the expert did not think the organisations had many remaining options as their 2G networks will gradually deteriorate as it is well known TOT and CAT do not have expertise in maintaining network infrastructure because of their inefficient bureaucratic structures.
"Right now, both TOT and CAT have few options left to survive," he said.
"If they don't want to end up as a basket case like the State Railway, they should think about merging their organisations, dissolving or selling to the private operators.
"If they want to survive as a public corporation they must find a strong business ally to work with, otherwise the government will have to subsidise the two ailing bodies forever."

BOXER Amir Khan has spoken of being detained at US airports because of his 'terrorist' name.
Khan talked about the impact of racial profiling at American airports as he opened up to award-winning US television broadcaster Larry King in an interview to be aired later this month.
The talk show host flew into London to interview the Bolton boxer about everything from Trump's travel ban to the possibility of taking on Manny Pacquiao in the ring.
Khan said: "I still train in America, I travel to America quite often and I always used to get pulled over because my name pops up as a terrorist name.
"They used to recognise me and they knew who I was and said, 'look Amir we apologise but have to do what the system tells us' and it kept happening and happening and, after a long 13-hour flight, you are stuck in the airport for another two to three hours.
"It does take a lot out of you so I met Hillary Clinton when I was in Washington. I was invited to an event there and I told her and she said 'look give me your details and let me try to help you, we'll clarify you are a safe person to travel.
"By putting this ban on I think it's only going to make so many people get frustrated.
"I just think it is a little bit sad to see that people are not allowed, especially Muslims are banned from going to America, because there are so many of us who have families there and friends there.
"I go there to train and I would never like to come across a day when they said to me 'sorry Mr Khan' you cannot come to America because you're Muslim, that would hurt me so much because I do all my training over there."
Watch a clip of the show here
US television broadcaster Larry King
He described President Donald Trump as 'vocal' and said he liked Barack Obama better because he 'was amazing' and what he did for America was 'amazing'.
Speaking about his boxing career, Khan said he was back in the right shape and was looking to fight at the end of the year, possibly Pacquiao, but if not, a 'big name' in the American welter-weight division.
Season six of the Emmy-nominated series 'Larry King Now' will feature Khan on July 26 at www.ora.tv/LarryKingNow and Hulu with Khan.

By the end of yesterday, m* had really reached the end of her rope and needed a stretch of several hours of quiet, which I totally understood. So, I put myself to bed early last night (to make sure I'd have enough energy and patience) and planned a solo day with The Who. Nothing hugely special because it is Labor Day, after all — and a rainy one at that — so our choices were really limited. But we made it work and had one of the chillest days we have had together in a long time.
Some looking around online last night alerted me to an antique car show that was happening rain or shine at a diner over the bridge, so I figured — breakfast PLUS cool cars? Ok. That's where we started our day.
In the car, The Who took off his shorts, underwear, socks, and shoes and hung around nudie booty, listening to his namesake book on CD while I blasted the heat, trying to dry my clothes. Once that was over, he slipped into the dry clothes I had brought for him (and neglected to pack for myself) and we headed across the street to the mall for a while. The Who has pretty much never been to a mall, so this was pretty novel.
(We did find shoes, which was my plan. JC Penney totally came through with $5 sale Keens knock-offs, so he wore those for most of the day.)
And that was mostly our day. We drove home, The Who took a quick snooze, and then we met up with m* for a late afternoon movie. (The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure, which was kind of weak when compared to Pixar-type kid movies, but he was engaged for the whole hour and a half and was singing along by the end, which is definitely better than when I took him to see Ice Age, which was over his head.)
Tomorrow, The Who starts Pre-K, which is the oldest classroom in his school/day care. He started there at 13 months old and now he's like a senior in high school. Crazy big. Just crazy.

In truth they have to have their mouths open so they can circulate water over their gills so they can breath. If bitten by one, try and stay as calm as you can and it will let go after a short while, because while it is holding onto you it can't breath, so it will need to let go in order to start breathing again.Murfreesboro wrote:Oh my gosh!
