Australia's prime minister says he hopes to get a few tips from Canada on financial management when he sits down with Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Ottawa today.
Tony Abbott arrived in Canada yesterday for a two-day visit before heading to Washington.
Abbott says Harper has been a beacon to centre-right parties around the world and he calls him "an exemplar of a contemporary, centre-right prime minister."
Australia is embarking on a series of austerity measures to try to balance its budget and Abbott says he hopes to learn from Harper's experience in whittling down Canada's deficit.
Harper has said Canada is on the verge of balancing its books and Abbott calls it a significant achievement in the face of a $55 billion deficit in the wake of the 2008 economic crisis.
Abbott is to meet Gov. Gen. David Johnston and take part in a roundtable discussion with business leaders from Canada and Australia before meeting with Harper on Parliament Hill.

Malceski retires from AFL after more than 200 games
Gold Coast defender and Sydney Swans premiership player Nick Malceski has announced his retirement from the AFL due to injury problems.
Gold Coast defender and Sydney Swans premiership player Nick Malceski has announced his retirement from the AFL due to injury problems.
St Kilda and Greater Western Sydney meeting in Friday night football. What a time to be alive.
The AFL fixture is important, but our tried and trusted ranking formula also shows a tough draw needn't be a killer blow to teams' hopes in 2017.
Richmond boss Brendon Gale has expressed disappointment that the Tigers have been shut out of the coveted Friday night timeslot in 2017.
Xavier Richards remains hopeful of finding a new AFL club as a delisted free agent after his bizarre fortnight took another turn on Thursday when he was delisted by Sydney.

GWS won't be following Port Adelaide and Gold Coast into China.
Luke Power will play a key role in helping develop the best young footballers in the country after being appointed coach of the AFL's National Academy.
GWS chief executive David Matthews believes the Bulldogs clash will be "a certain sell-out", likening Friday night football to playing on Rod Laver Arena's centre court at the Australian Open.
Melbourne are on track for further good news, with the Demons in advanced negotiations about a new deal with major sponsor Automotive Holdings Group (AHG).
Former St Kilda and Brisbane Lions player Xavier Clarke has accepted a development role on Richmond's revamped coaching panel.
There will be some firsts, and some long droughts broken next season.
Even allowing for his reported renewed fidelity to the Gold Coast cause and the family pressures that drove him to try to leave, the Gary Ablett story leaves a lingering bad taste.
AFL boss Gillon McLachlan says the AFL is considering a twilight grand final in 2017 and will make a decision over summer, as the league announces the 2017 fixture.
Gold Coast captain Gary Ablett's stunning offer to be traded back to Geelong was a "good Samaritan" act, according to Suns chairman Tony Cochrane.
West Coast is primed to start the 2017 season in flying fashion after the AFL released its official fixture, while Fremantle will experience a searching beginning to its new campaign.
The full fixture for AFL season 2017, announced on Thursday morning.
Sydney has an immediate shot at grand final revenge next year with a blockbuster rematch against the Western Bulldogs scheduled for round two at Etihad Stadium.
Join us for rolling coverage as the AFL announces the fixture for 2017.
It was tough to keep up with which picks ended up where, let alone what was in it for the clubs.
Gold Coast captain Gary Ablett tried to leave the club at the end of the 2016 season, asking the Suns to trade him back to Geelong.
AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan is confident Greater Western Sydney midfielder Lachie Whitfield will know his fate in the next week or so.
The until recently unthinkable prospect of Sam Mitchell shaping up in a home-and-away clash against Hawthorn will become a reality at the MCG in round five in 2017 when the Hawks take on Mitchell's new club West Coast.
Manuka Oval will play host to prime time football in 2017 with the Greater Western Sydney Giants set to play the club's first Friday night game in history in Canberra.
The AFL has increased its financial commitment to hardship suffered by footballers with an injection of $26 million.
Some say it looks good; others that it looks like three Bunnings buildings stacked atop each other.
Defender Alex Silvagni is the latest player axed by the Fremantle Dockers after the 29-year-old was told his contract would not be extended into 2017.
GWS are set to be granted their first ever Friday night game by the AFL when next year's fixture is released.
St Kilda's American experiment will continue for another year, with the Saints elevating Jason Holmes to their senior list for the 2017 season.
The AFL will use this week's international concussion conference in Germany to help guide the league's approach to the management of head knocks.
Gold Coast and Port Adelaide will square off in Shanghai on May 14 next year in the first AFL match for premiership points to take place in China.
The AFL has firmly denied that there were any illegallities involved in the trade that sent Jaeger O'Meara from the Gold Coast to Hawthorn.
Former first-round draft pick Brad McKenzie and key defender Joel Tippett are the latest casualties of North Melbourne's list overhaul.
The AFL has made the historic decision to stage a twilight match on Good Friday between North Melbourne and Western Bulldogs.
Blues delist Canberra product after two seasons with the club.
Brendon Lade is returning to Port Adelaide after seven years as an assistant coach at AFL rivals Richmond.
The Western Bulldogs won't look back at their painful history of preliminary final losses in the lead up to their Saturday night clash with GWS Giants.
Melbourne great David Schwarz says the potential defection of Jesse Hogan would not be "as catastrophic" now as it would have been last year.
There's two very contrasting narratives developing heading into the penultimate weekend of the AFL season. And sentimentally, they're at opposite ends of the spectrum.
The thing that AFL fans love about the game is risk and the unknown outcome accompanying it: the risk players take when they commit to a physical contest, when they launch three deep in a pack to stand on someone's shoulders in a marking contest, when they have a shot from the boundary. All are weekly features on highlights reels.

Excellent diagnosis, treatment and follow-up by Dr Norman and his staff for over 7 years.
Dr. Norman is Awesome, very thorough and pleasant! Also, has a great sense of humor, and courteous bedside manner. He earned my trust, would definitely go back. I would point out that his field is in high demand, esp. in Sunshine State of Florida (at times you may wait), but rest assure from what I've seen he does his best to accommodate everyone timely (appts), and he is a doctor who cares, know you are NOT a number. If he happens to go to fast, just interject, slow him down, ask him questions (he will slow down). Any prominent Doctor in demand is going to have a lot going on upstairs in his mind, my opinion. Being the best in his field, (if waiting), he is worth waiting for.. I give him 5 stars. =)
I have been for botox and fillers and other items and NEVER had I ever had to go back for more injections, told them what I wanted done they gave me a price and didn't complete without me having to pay more money, there are some issues I am not happy with but cant have them done without paying more money, this never happened to me with other doctors never had to go back told them what I wanted gave me a price completed the injections and didn't have to go back for seconds. Also asked for the strongest facial peal but it didn't burn as it would have if it was the strongest applied! I have no more money to spend for additional injections as a single parent putting her daughter through medical school! My first visit years ago with Mr Norman told him what I wanted done he gave me the price and did a excellent job and didn't have to come back for seconds in fact my injections lasted around 1 year this is why I returned to him thinking I would get the same treatment as before, requested Dr Norman do myinjections but got somebody else - disappointed sadly therefore I cant go back to spend more money and have to be content with what I got!
Dr. Norman was very pleasant and so was his staff. I was seen right away and the medication worked great. I have been to other Dermatologist office and the service was very cold and uncaring.
While I was waiting for Dr. Norman to see me, I could hear him yelling and swearing at his staff. Very unprofessional
I've had such a horrible and frustrating experience with this office. I made an appointment and asked for Dr Norman specifically. When I came in, they sent a nurse practitioner to see me. I asked where doctor Norman was, and they said he went out of town. They then charged me the full copay for this appointment. I'm a medical professional myself, and I consider this very unprofessional. I made an appointment to see a doctor not a nurse practitioner. They'd charge us for missing an appointment but then left the office without noticing the patients and then sent a lower level practitioner to see me. I'd just visit a Minute Clinic at CVS if I wanted to see a nurse practitioner and would have saved $50. I'd definitely contact the Board of Medicines regarding this issue and encourage everyone to do the same.
The staff at this office are not only rude and disrespectful but have no concept of how to tell the truth to a waiting patient who's appointment was at 3 pm, asked to be there by 2:30 only to have to wait well past 3:45 to be told again "you're next"! Then when you ask what doctor you will be seeing, the staff tells you the doctor you saw the first time quit and is no longer there. I don't recommend this office to my enemy!!
Very bad experience with 2 visits with my children, they run a teaching office. Office was not clean and staff should be alot more educated. Never put a bandaid on a acid treatment, it made a pin hole a quarter size hole in my 4 year old daughter leg. Never will i go back to that office, i don't care how far i have to travel!!! never would recommend
In my opinion I think Dr Norman is a Very Nice man, Cares about his patients and takes the time to actually speak about the problem and solve it. He's a very smart man who is not only a Dr but is a leader in the dermatology world and is very well respected. His office staff is also amazing. i would visit his office any time.
You won't see Dr. Norman, you'll see Kate Sedlaczek, a nurse practitioner. I waited an hour past my appointment time to see her for a minute. She has given me three different answers on what to do with the spot where she removed a mole. Nothing has helped. She doesn't know what she is doing. All she wants to do is cut into you and send you on your way. I am going to get a second opinion. She said the wound would scab over and fall off when I put vaseline on it. That hasn't happened. Now she says it has healed and will take a year to go away. Avoid this office.
I went to see Dr Norman because I had an awful case of alopecia. My hair was falling out by the handsful. I was actually getting bald. I had been to two different derm. but they said it couldn't be helped. Dr Norman told me what he would do & said it would help. It did & now I have a full head of hair & no longer have to wear a hat. I also needed a B-12 shot which I could not get from my primary dr. The staff at Dr Norman's ofc is wonderful, answer questions, offer suggestions. Dr Norman is very friendly & down to earth & makes you feel very comfortable. If you need a derm. do not hesitate another minute. Call now or you're wasting precious time.
With a complex case I've been to many many doctors. This was the second Dermatologist I've seen and this guy will not waste time like every other doctor!! Once you get in there he does what he needs to. He does biopsy,blood work,tests and gives meds!! Also the best part Is he takes people of all ages!!! Come to Dr. Norman he will fix you!!
I have not been to the office in a few years but it was time to see Dr. Norman again. His staff was very nice and I was in and out in no time.
any good reviews about are probally left by the dr himself or a staff member he forced to write it. Dr norman is the rudest most unprofessional human being have ever met. He recommends unnecessary procedures and exagerates his claims to scare patients to have procedures done. He is defiintley committing insurance fraud. medicare had his records investigated he was ordered to return 100's of thousands of dollars, his staff is asked to do procedures that they are not qualified to do and they actually type the patients notes in their own words not the doctors,,,,terrible place stay away
Wonderful office and staff! Patient, kind and very knowledgeable! , The office is a little small but is clean and does what it needs to. If u don't like it don't go there then. Longest time I have every waited was 15 mins and yes the office was busy. He does have training assistants but you know what they have to learn somewhere. If your uncomfortable with them just ask for the dr. He as happy to oblige. I would most definitely recommend this office!
This was the worst Dr. appointment(s) I've ever had. I had to go twice and both times waited over 2 hours and there was no place to sit. Got into the office to get moles looked at for myself and daughter. He said, "l'll take care of them...they just need to be removed". Assistant "numbed" us both. Dr. started cutting and neither of us were numb AT ALL. Daughter had two moles "removed". One is still half there and the other is no longer there, but is replaced by a scar that is more than 3 times the size of the mole, and much more noticeable. I was left with a keloid scar (I have no others), and one mole was removed fine. On the follow-up visit a week later, a woman came in and asked how we were healing. At the time, the sores were still healing, we said, "Okay, I guess." She then left and we were done. Didn't look at anything! Do NOT go to this place. Oh, Dr. Norman also screamed at the one assistant...it was embarrassing.
The staff is unprofessional, unreliable, unbelievably low class. I was called rude and hung up on regarding an insurance issue. After having 2 treatments I was refused 3rd office visit even though my insurance called them and offered to fax them an authorization, I have never been treated so horribly by a medical staff in my life! Find a different doctor if you are looking for professionalism don't come here!!!
This was by far the most unprofessional practice I have ever been to in my life. As a licensed nurse in Florida, I expected a little bit of bedside manner and the doctor himself to look over the patient and do the procedure. NOt at all what goes on here! The medical assistants (not even licensed professionals in the state of Florida) are taking moles off patients and the doctor writes scripts without looking to see what patient is taking and to see if contraindicated (whic it was). If I had not had medical experience my daughter would have ended up taking meds contraindicated. Her follow up appointment was canceled by the staff when I called since I did not receive a appointment confirmation. When I called they told me they had to cancel 11 appointments. I travel from another city to come here related to insurance and have taken off of work for this. Havent they heard of another on call doctor or NP that can take visits when the doctor is not there? Guess not. Horrible!Stay away from this office. Very unprofessional and just out for a dollar.
Dr Norman is not even a dermatologist. He is a bipolar lunatic and SCREAMS at his office staff.His license has been suspended in several states due to inappropriate advances towards patients. I can not believe I even went to see him but I did not do my homework prior. He is a thief and over charges.Very bad "Doctor"!!!!!
i waited over 2 hours. the dr was rude to myself and his staff i will not return
I would never go to this doctor again. I waited nearly three hours after my appointment time to see him. I didn't even get to see him, I saw one of his assistants. Then I received an erroneous bill, nearly four times what I was quoted on the phone. When I called to cancel my next appointment because I'm never going back, no one would answer so I left my cancellation on their voicemail. The day that next appointment was scheduled for, I received a call from his office saying I was a no-show and would be billed for missing a scheduled appointment. I have tried to communicate with the office, but they will not return my phone calls.
My wait time was about 45 minutes and I received great treatment from the PA that saw me. The staff was very nice and really made the visit comfortable for me. While I was leaving I met Dr. Norman and he was a funny person. My visit was pleasant.
i waited for 3 hours,,, when i finally got in, very little time was spent with me, i herd how he had appointments to go to? like i cared?? not very good bed side manors,, i will go elsewhere...
Even though it is a busy practice I was treated very professionally by Dr. Norman and his staff. He is a very caring physician. He does a lot of charity work and you can see how he cares for his patients. One couple in the waiting room come all the way from Orlando to see him.
They give most patient the same appointment time and make them wait hours. This is unbeleivable.
This was my first dermatologists appointment in my life. This is also the first review I've written for a doctor. After waiting 1 hour and 45 minutes for my first appointment I only saw Dr. Norman on my way out after I was diagnosed with some pre-cancers. I only dealt with his Physician Assistant. They did a whole body diagnosis of my skin looking for any abnormalities. Other than pre-cancers on my face and one small basil cell cancer to be removed from my face that is all they found. Going back to the office for removal of the basil cell cancer again I did not see Dr. Norman but the Physician Assistant who also did the surgery to remove the cancer. He seemed skilled and attentive. I went on line to one time to see if there were any reviews written on Dr. Norman and found quite a few negative so the following year I went to a different doctor just to see if there was a difference in how I was diagnosed and treated. To my great surprise there was a huge difference.After completing the paperwork in the office it was less than 5 minutes before I was asked to come back. Another 5 minutes and I was in front of a doctor who spent nearly 1 hour with me in a complete head to toe diagnosis of my skin. The diagnosis was so much more thorough than Dr. Normans office. Also they found three moles that were abnormal in nature which have been on my body for a few years. Dr. Norman never looked at my feet or through my hair line. This new doctor did and they found one of those moles on the top of my feet.Now, I'm dealing with receiving a letter from a collection company pursuing me for a bill in which I never received. You would think that Dr. Norman would at least call me to ask if I had received the bill and ask why I wasn't paying it. Instead they turned it over for collection. This goes to show me how out of touch Dr. Norman is with his business.
He was horrible I waited 2 hours and he was yelling at his staff you could hear it in the waiting room. Then once I got in the room I waited another 45 mins. While he was yelling more to his staff. I don't know how he has any after listening to him. I left the office and will never return. He also has a criminal record in Pinellas county and Hillsboro county. I will NEVER go back!
Dr.Norman makes sure he has enough on staff to count his money.His patients are just dollars.I was in his examination room for an hour. Not only is the care and service bad, the examination room was dirty, from dust, dingy floors, stains on walls definitely not sterile. Never go there again. They never return your calls.All round service is poor.

The present invention is related generally to displaying messages on computer screens and, more particularly, to choosing messages to display based on environmental factors.
A trend in personal communication devices (e.g., cellular telephones and personal digital assistants) is to make the devices more capable by adding more hardware. Cameras are common on these devices, as are multiple display screens. GPS receivers are becoming more common. Other devices for monitoring either the environment around the device (e.g., a thermometer) or for monitoring the user of the device (e.g., a heartbeat detector) have been proposed.
Useful as this additional hardware can be in particular situations, much of it is used only rarely. The cost of the hardware is paid for (directly or indirectly) by the user, but the hardware provides only a very limited return on that cost. Ready to perform, this hardware spends most of the time taking up space in the device, adding weight, cost, and operational complexity, and only occasionally providing a service to the device's user.
The above considerations, and others, are addressed by the present invention, which can be understood by referring to the specification, drawings, and claims. According to aspects of the present invention, hardware that is not currently being used is re-oriented to a new purpose. Sensors on a personal communication device monitor the environment around the device. Based on an analysis of that monitoring, an appropriate visual message is shown on a display screen of the device. The visual message is targeted toward those around the device rather than to the device's user.
In some embodiments, the monitoring devices include a camera and a microphone. Images taken by the camera are analyzed in an attempt to detect persons or objects around the user or to determine where the user is located. Captured speech is analyzed to determine topics of conversation. The results of these analyses are fed into a decision-making process that determines what visual messages would be appropriate.
In one embodiment, the visual message is an advertisement. Based on the monitoring, an advertisement is chosen and displayed. The device's owner may receive some compensation from the advertiser for allowing his device to display advertisements. While not expected to be very significant, the compensation can offset the cost of the hardware that, in the past, went unused for long periods of time.
Some embodiments are directed toward "clamshell" cellular telephones. Most of these devices include a display on the "outside," visible when the telephone is in the closed position, and another display on the "inside," visible to the user when the user opens the telephone to make a call. Detecting that the device is open and in use (and therefore that the outside display is pointed away from the user and toward people around him, if any), visual messages are displayed on the outside display.
While the appended claims set forth the features of the present invention with particularity, the invention, together with its objects and advantages, may be best understood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
Turning to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements, the invention is illustrated as being implemented in a suitable environment. The following description is based on embodiments of the invention and should not be taken as limiting the invention with regard to alternative embodiments that are not explicitly described herein.
According to aspects of the present invention, the personal communication device 104 can display visual messages on its outside face. The visual messages may, for example, be sent to the device 104 from the message server 112, or the visual messages may be stored or generated locally on the device 104.
The visual messages presented by the personal communication device 104 are not intended to be seen by the user 102 of the device 104. Instead, they are intended to be seen by other people in the near vicinity of the device 104. In
The method of
There are several ways of knowing that the user 102 is interacting with the inside face of the personal communication device 104. Possibly the best detection method involves determining that the user 102 is actually in a call using the device 104 without the assistance of an external microphone or speaker (e.g., a wired or wireless headset) (400 in
In step 302, the personal communication device 104 attempts to collect data from the environment surrounding the device 104. This collection process can begin after step 300 determines that a favorable opportunity exists, or it may go on continually. In any case, the collected data may include sounds collected by the microphone 214 or images collected by the camera 206. (Note that some devices 104 include two microphones 214 in order to cancel out background noise. In some embodiments of the present invention, one microphone 214 is dedicated to the user 102, while the other microphone 214 is used to collect environmental data.) Some devices 104 have other sensors (402 in
In step 304, the collected environmental data are analyzed (404 in
The analysis of step 304 is used in step 306 to choose an appropriate visual message to display on the outside screen 204 of the personal communication device 104. For example, the analysis may reveal that the user 102 is in an arena at a sporting event. The appropriate visual messages can then be advertising messages related to that event or to the teams participating in the event. If keywords extracted from overheard conversations indicate that dinner choices are being discussed, that information can be combined with a location determination to select advertisements for local restaurants.
Other inputs can be made to the selection of appropriate visual messages (406 in
The sensor data, preferences, and other rules are applied to choose one or more appropriate visual messages for display. The selection process of step 306 can occur locally on the personal communication device 104, remotely on the message server 112, or on a combination of the two.
The chosen visual message is retrieved either from the personal communication device 104 itself or from the remote message server 112 and is displayed on the outside screen 204 of the device 104 (step 308 of
Step 310 is optional but potentially important. For visual messages that are advertisements, the message sponsor can compensate the user 102 for displaying the messages. This compensation is meant to induce the user 102 to agree to display the advertisements, subject, of course, to the stated preferences of the user 102. In a simple system, the user 102 is compensated for each visual message displayed. A more sophisticated system can analyze (possibly using the same sensors discussed above in reference to step 302) the environment of the personal communication device 104 at the time when each visual message is displayed. The compensation is then varied depending upon those circumstances. For example, a visual message displayed when many people are in the vicinity of the user 102 may be worth more to the message sponsor than the same visual message displayed when few people are around.
The methods of the present invention therefore allow a message sponsor to reach a small, but potentially relevant, audience. Compensation arrangements can benefit the user 102 for allowing the message sponsor to use the small message "billboard" of her outside screen 204 that would otherwise be unused while the user 102 is making a call.
In view of the many possible embodiments to which the principles of the present invention may be applied, it should be recognized that the embodiments described herein with respect to the drawing figures are meant to be illustrative only and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention. For example, messages other than advertisements, e.g., public service notices, can be displayed. Other arrangements for compensation are possible and may be called for in various environments. Therefore, the invention as described herein contemplates all such embodiments as may come within the scope of the following claims and equivalents thereof.

Hello again,
The statistics are quite alarming - half of the UK population is now either overweight or obese. This has a huge impact on the health of the individuals involved, and on the NHS and UK economy. Women of childbearing age are very much at risk of the adverse effects of obesity. Excessive weight gain in pregnancy is associated with increased pregnancy complications (e.g. pre-eclampsia, diabetes, high blood pressure) and adverse outcomes for both mothers and babies, and is a major risk factor for childhood obesity.
In May 2012 the British Medical Journal* published an article by a team of medical researchers which challenges the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines from 2010 which state that dieting during pregnancy is not recommended and may harm the unborn child. These researchers undertook a review of 44 previous studies involving more than 7000 obese or overweight pregnant women to establish the effects of dietary and lifestyle interventions on pregnancy outcomes. They concluded from these studies that following a healthy diet and limiting calorie intake during pregnancy to manage excessive weight and pregnancy weight gain can significantly reduce the risk of complications for you and your baby and did not affect babies' birth weights.
If you are overweight or obese and you are thinking of having a baby, it makes sense to try to lose some weight before you conceive. If you are already pregnant then you shouldn't be aiming to lose weight during your pregnancy, but you should manage any weight gain carefully and not gain more than has been recommended to you by your doctor or midwife. You should be eating sensibly – have a look at our advice on a balanced pregnancy diet.
If you'd like to share your experiences with us we'd love to hear how you've got on; were you able to lose weight before you conceived or how much weight did you gain during your pregnancy?
Bye for now.Helen* http://www.bmj.com/highwire/filestream/585053/field_highwire_article_pdf/0.pdf

Hi Everyone,
Not a week goes by without hearing something in the news about the rising problem of obesity in this country. It's something we should all be concerned about, especially when you hear how many children are affected. Around one third of all children in the UK are currently above a healthy weight and this number is increasing year on year. It's estimated that by 2050, two thirds of children will be obese or overweight.
There are of course some serious consequences of being obese, including an increased risk of coronary heart disease, strokes, diabetes and other health problems. Most parents are understandably keen to ensure that the eating patterns their children develop are healthy ones and I'm often asked by parents if the amounts of foods their babies are eating are normal or whether they are eating too much and at risk of becoming overweight. As I said in my last blog, making sure your baby is active is important too.
Starting weaning at the correct time and not too early (recommended weaning age is 6 months, although some babies may need weaning earlier, although not before 4 months) is key to reducing obesity risk. Once weaning has started, you should encourage your baby to eat a varied, balanced diet; unhealthy eating can 'programme' young children's tastes for the rest of their lives. Weaning babies on pureed junk food, chocolate bars, crisps and fizzy sugary drinks just isn't an option!
For more information on a good diet to feed your baby, have a look at these links:
Your health visitor will advise you on how often you should get your baby weighed to check they are gaining weight at the correct rate, and if you have any concerns you should have a chat with them.
Goodbye for now.Helen

Fountains of Wayne
Even if you're not a fan of New Jersey alt band Fountains of Wayne, chances are you're still familiar with their song "Stacy's Mom." You know, it was about a pubescent kid hanging out with his female school mate and falling in love with her mom, played in the video by model Rachel Hunter. If this is all you know about this band, you need to take a closer look. These guys specialize in crafting incredibly catchy pop songs that have the habit of getting stuck in the listener's head. Check out their 2003 album "Welcome Interstate Managers."

The only required expense initially is the purchase of a good web host service to run your web site.
Easy to Setup
WordPress hosting is becoming an industry in its own right. The huge demand for WordPress sites has hosting companies offering special products and services just for WP users. Most web hosts now make installing Word Press as quick and easy as possible by providing a self-installation wizard for their customers.
You merely log in to your cPanel, navigate to one of the self-installers, like Fantastico or Softaculous, and go through the installation process.
For those who don't want to install WordPress themselves, there are free services available to do it for them.
Easy To Use
WordPress is the most user-friendly of any of the content management systems available.
Once installed, Word Press requires minimal configuration, then it is ready for your first post.
No special web design knowledge, experience, or education is required to get up and running with your first WordPress blog or site.
Everything you need to know to use WordPress properly, is available right here on HTWP2.0, and we're always here to help if you need it. You can ask a question via the comments section below each post, or contact us directly, anytime. We'll be happy to help.
Extended Plugins
One of the most powerful things about WordPress is its ability to add features and functionality with the use of what's called a plugin. Much like the way Firefox and other modern browsers add functionality via addons and plugins, WP gives you the ability to do anything you can imagine with the installation of a plugin.
View our list of Recommended WordPress Plugins For Every Blog
Need to make sharing of your posts on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites easy for your visitors? There's a plugin for that!
Want to backup your site automatically? There's a plugin for that!
Want to add email lists, track visitor and other sites statistics, automatically make and submit XML sitemaps, RSS feeds, etc.? There are plugins to do all of that … and more!
Changing the look and feel of your entire site in an instant has never been easier.
WordPress comes with its own default theme, but if you want to add a whole new look to your site, there are thousands of free themes to choose from.
If none of the free themes suit your needs, then a premium theme might be in order. For $15 to $150 dollars you can select from thousands of ready-made premium themes that usually come with tech support and free, lifetime updates.
Still don't see what you want? Then hiring a professional WordPress web designer to create a custom theme for you is what you need. Sites like Odesk and Elance abound with qualified developers that can handle the job for you.
Proper Search Engine Optimization is crucial to success online and no other web site platform does it better than WordPress.
WordPress was designed to work well with the search engines. Its features and functions help search engines find your site, crawl it, and then locate the information they need to get your sites indexed and send you visitors.
However, with the addition of a few SEO plugins, WordPress can become an SEO powerhouse!
Spam Protection
Comment spam and spammy trackbacks and pingbacks are the bane of all website owners. Not only do they clutter up your site with useless junk that turns off your visitors, it wastes your time and resources to combat it. But WP gives you the tools you need to effectively combat the problem.
By default, WordPress comes with very good anti-spam capabilities. It comes with an integrated blacklist, an open proxy checker to manage and eliminate comment spam, and the Akismet Comment Spam Fighter plugin pre-installed.
For even greater anti-spam protection, there are numerous plugins available, both free and paid.
Web Standards Compliant
The WordPress developers work hard to ensure that WordPress complies with the W3C standards for web usability and compatibility.
This is extremely important to everyone using the internet. The W3C's primary goals are to develop industry standards to make sure that everyone has access to the world wide web regardless of the type of hardware, software, network infrastructure, or internet interface they are using.
What this means is that WordPress websites are designed to work with any browser, on any desktop computer, laptop, iPad, iPod, mobile phone, smart phone, personal digital assistant, interactive television system, etc.
Customer Support
As one would expect from a product that has over 60 million users worldwide, WordPress' support system is phenomenal. The web is full of free and paid professionals offering assistance with anything and everything WordPress related.
Starting right here at HTWP2.0 and at the official WordPress Support Forums.
Clearly, we here at HTWP2.0 are big fans of WordPress. We've been doing this internet thing for quite some time now and have looked at all of the various platforms available and WordPress really is the best one we've found, for all the reasons we've expressed above, and more.
Everyone here has built sites in HTML, CSS, and PHP, or some combination of the three, and without a doubt, WordPress is better and easier in every way.
Give WordPress a try on your website, you won't be sorry.
See who else is using WordPress
What Do You Think?
So, there you have it! We've given you
all many of the reasons why we think you should use WordPress. Are you convinced? Did we miss anything? Do you still have questions, or something to add perhaps? Let us know in the comments below.
And, if you found this post helpful, please be sure to share the stuffin' out of it!

On ESPN's college football show "Championship Drive," ESPN analyst Trevor Matich reiterated what many of us already knew: In order for the University of Memphis to crack the playoff, Ole Miss has to win out.
"If Ole Miss wins out and wins the SEC, and if Memphis wins out, Memphis should go the playoff ahead of Ole Miss," Matich said Wednesday. "And the reason is, Memphis will have that head-to-head win and you talked about metrics vs. what you see on tape — I'll go one more. If we beat you, and everything is relatively equal, we beat you on the field. You might have more talent, but we beat you. We go.
"And for the people that say the SEC is not the same as the American in terms of schedule — Ole Miss will have lost two games if they win out, one of those games head to head vs. that Memphis team."
Matich is right about Ole Miss needing to win out, even if it's hard to see that happening. The Rebels didn't look good against Auburn and games vs. LSU and Mississippi State remain.
Nonetheless, Memphis' 37-24 win against the Rebels in Memphis is the shiny star of the Tigers' resume, and the better Ole Miss performs the rest of the way, the better that looks for Memphis.
Still, it's unfortunately not that simple. If Ole Miss and Memphis just win out, and there's no chaos elsewhere, the Tigers are still probably out of the playoff. To go from 13th to fourth, the Tigers at least need the following: Notre Dame to lose one more time (which could happen); the Pac-12 to have a two-loss champion; and the Big 12 champion to have one loss.
If Ole Miss and Memphis win out, and aaaall that happens, it's hard to see Memphis being left out. But for a team not in a power conference, nine spots — without plenty of outside help — seems like a little too much ground to make up.

This makes great sense to me. I have, on occasion, used the voice memo feature on my iPhone to capture sudden creative bursts, though the follow through on said bursts often eludes me. Thank you, Syd, for sharing your process (I love purple too😉.
Recently I wrote on the virtues of writing things down, but as someone who is easily distracted, sometimes written notes just aren't enough.
The Problem
My thoughts happen like fireworks. They appear quickly; epicenters of light branching off into associated ideas, problems, and possibilities. Each is unique, but because they occur quickly and in varying bursts, they begin to blend together and become almost indistinguishable.
When I attempt to write ideas down, it may begin with the original spark, but necessarily includes the surrounding associations. Each association is often its own "firework" as well, surrounded by further associations. As I try to work though an idea, it easily becomes convoluted as the original idea becomes hidden behind ongoing fireworks.
I write down an idea. I write down another idea, and another. I get lost.
The Solution
Voice notes.
I explain my idea to myself, out loud. I repeat it aloud until the…

Armenian church in Myanmar struggles to keep going
August 28, 2014 - 17:22 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - One of the oldest churches in Myanmar, also known as Burma, is struggling to keep going - its congregation only occasionally reaches double figures. But the opening up of the country to outside investment and tourism is offering new hope, a BBC News report says.
Reverend John Felix, priest at the Armenian church in Yangon, also known as Rangoon, can't speak Armenian - but then neither can his congregation, the report says.
The 150-year-old church enjoys an imposing location, at a street corner in downtown Yangon. It's a beautiful building, a patch of calm in a bustling city. The Armenian Orthodox church of St John the Baptist - standing, suitably, on Merchant Street - is almost all that's left of what was one of the city's main trading communities.
"To judge from church records, there were once a few hundred Armenian families in Burma but the last 'full' Armenian died last year. Across the country, there are no more than 10 or 20 families who are part Armenian - and just a handful still come to the church," says Felix.
Rachel Minus, in her mid-30s, can sing in Armenian - and does with reverence - but can't speak the language. She attends on Sundays with her father, who also tolls the church bells.
"My grandfather was full Armenian and our family name is derived from the Armenian surname of Minossian. We're part Armenian and this church and its services mean a lot to us," she says.
In the early 17th century, large numbers of Armenians fled the Ottoman Empire and settled in Isfahan in what's now Iran. From there, many travelled on in later years to form a commercial network which stretched from Amsterdam to Manila.
Their influence in the British Raj reached its peak in the late 19th Century, when census records suggest that about 1,300 Armenians were living principally in Calcutta, Dhaka and Rangoon.
Their closeness to the Burmese royal court gave them a particularly privileged status in Rangoon's trading community. The land on which the church stands is said to have been presented to the Armenians by Burma's king.
The region's most prestigious hotels - including The Strand a short walk from the church in downtown Yangon and the even more famous Raffles in Singapore - were established by Armenians.
But bit-by-bit over the past century many in these small Armenian outposts, worried by political and economic instability, have looked for a new home - with Australia the most favoured destination, the report says.
John Felix - whose bishop is based thousands of miles away in Sydney - is a welcoming and enthusiastic clergyman, proud of his church and unbowed by the difficulties of keeping going as the congregation steadily shrinks. Felix took over as priest of the Yangon church from his father, who died three years ago after more than 30 years as minister. Like his father, he was initially ordained into the Anglican communion and then re-ordained as an Orthodox priest. He was born in Myanmar, speaks Burmese - but is of south Indian origin, and so has his roots in another of the migrant communities which once made Yangon such a thriving commercial hub.
Myanmar has had more than its share of troubles and upheaval over the last century. The country was occupied by the Japanese during World War Two, and suffered greater privation and damage to its infrastructure than almost anywhere else in the region.
Many Armenians were among those who embarked on the arduous wartime trek north through jungle and forest to the relative safety of British India - a memorial in the church lists the 13 members of one Armenian family who died during the journey.
Burma gained independence from Britain in 1948, several months after India and Pakistan. Within a few years, it had a military-backed government which made little effort to develop commercial links beyond the country's borders. The army's violent suppression in 1988 of the democracy movement further heightened the country's international isolation.

Hillary Clinton Calls For Repeal of Hyde Amendment
January 11th, 2016
Categories: economic justice, Hyde Amendment, Hyde16, unfair laws
The National Network of Abortion Funds thanks presidential candidate, former Secretary of State, and Senator Hillary Clinton for this weekend's firm and vocal support of abortion rights, and importantly, for her bravery and boldness in calling for the repeal of the Hyde Amendment. For too long, politicians on both sides of the aisle have claimed to support abortion rights and a "pro-choice" mantle while erasing the struggles of those who are working hard to make ends meet and are not able to simply make a choice. We at NNAF know that a choice that you can't access is not really a right -- it's a privilege.
We're heartened that this past year has brought more politicians and candidates willing to learn about and support a broader framework that seeks to balance those scales in favor of justice. Clinton's statement comes after a year that saw forward-thinking House Representatives introduce the groundbreaking EACH Woman Act, which currently has more than 100 co-sponsors. We continue to push and support those in power to embrace a more nuanced narrative of abortion rights that includes those who are disproportionately affected by attacks on abortion access, the same people helped by and working with our member abortion funds. We know that it's the work on the ground of hardworking organizers, activists, volunteers, and reproductive rights supporters that helped lay the groundwork for any leading Presidential candidate to name and shame one of the deep injustices of our health care and economic system. The Hyde Amendment, and other restrictions, have far-reaching consequences for people of color, people with low incomes, LGBTQ people, transgender and non-binary people, people with disabilities, people with documentation or language barriers, people in rural areas, and others who have less access to health care overall, while also having less access to economic means and power.
We encourage all candidates for office, especially those at the highest echelons of power, to spend time learning about the harmful effects of the Hyde Amendment and other restrictions that make abortion a right for those with economic means, but coerce those without into parenting against their will. We also continue to advocate for those politicians to embrace a full spectrum of robust economic support that will help ensure we're all able to truly exercise our reproductive options and choices, regardless of our income or where we live, to make the decisions we know are best for ourselves and families.

We encourage all candidates for office to spend time learning about the harmful effects of the Hyde Amendment and other abortion restrictions that disproportionately harm communities of color and low-income communities, and to embrace a full spectrum of economic support that will help ensure we're all able to make the reproductive decisions best for ourselves and families.
