Schedule veterinary appointments now!
Many of us would jump at the chance to 1) increase our practice's "busyness" and 2) even out workflow. The question isn't whether veterinary practices need solutions to these problems, but how to implement them. I've found the solution is pre-booking, a concept easily implemented for procedures like spaying and neutering.
To see the problem, run a report on pets that have received their final puppy or kitten vaccination at your practice in the past two to four months. Run a second report on those same pets to identify which have been sterilized. My studies indicate that the percentage of pets that show up as sterilized in these reports varies anywherefrom 12 to 95 percent.
So let's consider why pets may show up on that second report as not being spayed or neutered:> There's an error in the records.
> The pets have been left intact to breed.
> The pets have possibly been rehomed or are deceased.
> The client wandered off to a competitor's practice. That's the most likely answer.
Many of my coaching clients have actually called the owners of these unsterilized pets and asked them why their pet doesn't come up on the practice's records as being spayed or neutered:
> About 0.5 percent cite a computer error.
> 5 to 10 percent say they're going to breed their pet.
> 1 to 2 percent say the pet has been rehomed, is deceased or something similar.
> Roughly 80 to 90 percent of clients say they've gone elsewhere for pet care. Of those, about half say that they'll come back to the original practice in the future.
Further questioning indicates that 90 percent of the clients who went elsewhere did so due to sheer bad luck, happenstance or referral.
Less than 10 percent of clients went elsewhere because they were unhappy with their original veterinarian. That means we can do something to solve this problem. The key here is to educate the client at their initial vaccinations.
It's a simple three-step process:
> Explain the importance of timely spaying or neutering to your clients.
> Detail the advantages of booking the pet's spay or neuter at their final puppy or kitten vaccination.
> Schedule the appointment.
This process is easy, but it can sometimes be a tough sell to male practice owners, associates and practice managers who don't quite "get it." They tend to think clients won't like the push to schedule. However, when you talk to female clients—mothers who have careers and children and look after family pet(s)—they understand that locking in an appointment a week, a month or even two months ahead of time simplifies their busy lives.
So go ahead, try it. Run your reports. Crunch your numbers. Then put a practice strategy in place that starts pre-booking spays and neuters at every pet's final vaccinations. You'll see your "busyness" increase and your workflow even out.

|Aggies yet to decide on Manziel's replacement
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 11 August 2014 12:32
With less than three weeks before the opener, sophomore Kenny Hill and freshman Kyle Allen are vying for the job.
Sumlin has talked to his veterans about helping whoever gets the job. He says: ''It's incumbent on the other 10 guys who are on the field to make the offense quarterback friendly.''
Hill had very limited action last season, appearing in four games and finishing with 183 yards passing. Allen was one of the top quarterback prospects in the nation after throwing for more than 8,000 yards and 86 touchdowns in his career at Desert Mountain high school in Scottsdale, Arizona.

When it comes to Chinese astrological signs, I suck. While I know my own – I straddle the curious monkey and preening rooster who cooks well, I don't take it all that seriously. Some people are dialing it in for the upcoming Year of the Black (or Water) Snake, which starts on February 10. By some accounts, it will be one of instability and extremities but will generate overall peace and prosperity. I feel like that is my life in the main.
Through web searches, I found out that snakes are sexy, lucky, and wise, albeit inclined to a certain measure of laziness. Famous snakes include Pablo Picasso, Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Onassi, and Brooke Shields. Snakes gets along well with roosters, oxes, horses, sheep, and dogs. If you're a rat, tiger, rabbit, or dragon, you'll be an okay friend of a snake. Monkeys and snakes tend to create too much drama. I'm kinda covered during 2013, I suppose.
This stuff is lots of yin-yang, good and bad, lighthearted fun. I read Chinese astrological signs like I read my daily horoscopes. Their ambiguity offers constant life lessons. If they were spot on, I'd head to Vegas during my "four-star" days.
That said, it's always good to start a new year with a positive outlook. I make my plans for Tet (Vietnamese Lunar New Year) around the 3 C's: cleaning, cooking, and celebrating. Since I am usually not with my family, I invite close friends over for a feast. More often than not, there are dumplings on the menu. I occasionally make an entire menu of dumplings and invite friends over to help out.

We must, must remember that MARRRIAGE is based upon COMMUNITCATION AND COMMITMENT N O T THE PRESENCE OF THE PENIS!!!!!!!!!!
We are witnessing the last homophobic outbursts of a dying dictatorship!
The Spanish prime minister is described as "secular". Assuming that this means he is an unbeliever, how bizarre it is for a Catholic cardinal to expect him to attend mass.
I believe that the Pope is a pedophile and that's why he protects his pedophile clergy.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
Fifteen years later, wispy, hum-along hits like "Iris," "Name" and "Slide" have turned Rzeznik into MTV's most (recently divorced) eligible bachelor. Long graduated from Metal Blade and now a platinum-plated priority at Warner Bros., the Goo Goo Dolls are riding high on yet another breezy and ubiquitous single, "Here Is Gone," off their latest CD, Gutterflowers.
Like its multiplatinum predecessors, Dizzy Up the Girl and A Boy Named Goo, the new album has enough babe-baiting balladry to ensure Gutterflowers' sales come up smelling like roses. Diminished to near-extinction are the pissed-off rants of bassist Robby Takac and the corrosive covers ("Don't Fear the Reaper," "Sunshine of Your Love," "Down on the Corner," "Gimme Shelter" and Prince's "Never Take the Place of Your Man," to name a few) of discs gone by. The evolution comes as no surprise, however, considering the Goos got a grip on poppy melody as far back as 1993's garage-rock masterpiece Superstar Carwash.
For those of us who remember the Goos' 1987 debut, the must-have follow-up Jed and the equally slamming Hold Me Up -- all of which were issued before original drummer George Tutuska departed in a colossal case of bad timing -- defending the band's punk pedigree is an eternal battle. Fortunately, Rzeznik, Takac and arrived-just-in-time drummer Mike Malinin are still scrappy enough to pull off arena gigs with the fervor of a misplaced bar band.

Miami Beach HotelsWith long sandy beaches and clear blue seas, Miami Beach is a tropical paradise, complete with palm trees and balmy weather all year round. On a strip of land, parallel to the city of Miami, the area feels like an island, complete with luxurious resorts and restaurants overlooking the sea. At night, the area hosts some of the most exclusive nightclubs in the world, becoming a playground for the rich and famous. Things to seeWander down Ocean Drive during the day and you'll see beautiful people enjoying the white sandy beach, with rollerbladers and joggers sharing the sidewalk. Take a seat outside one of the upmarket pavement cafes or restaurants, and you can enjoy watching the shady palms and the calm blue ocean from your vantage point. At night, the Art Deco buildings are lit by neon, and the area becomes a buzzing social hive. The North Miami area is home to Surfside Beach, a wide, white-sanded beach which is a quieter alternative to the more central beaches. The Port of Miami is known as the cruise capital of the world, and you'll see many of the giant cruise ships departing for voyages around the Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexico, and beyond, giving passengers on board a breathtaking view of the skyline as the ship pulls away. Lincoln Road Mall is a palm tree lined, pedestrianized street full of upscale stores, boutiques, art galleries, and sidewalk cafes, giving it a laidback vibe both day and night. If you need some time for quiet contemplation, Miami Beach Botanical Garden is an urban greenspace that's free to enjoy. Wander around enjoying the fragrance of exotic flowers, take a yoga class in beautiful surroundings, or simply sit under a tree and take in the abundant horticulture of the area. Hotels in Miami BeachLuxury hotels in Miami Beach are often found along the beachfront, with many resorts offering swimming pools, health spas, steam rooms, and concierge services, so you can sit back and enjoy your vacation time. Guestrooms will offer amenities such as air conditioning, minibars, coffee makers, premium bedding, and bathrobes. Many of the Art Deco buildings of the South Beach area have been turned into boutique hotels, offering oversized bathtubs, individual interior design, room service, and free WiFi. There are also budget hotels and hostels a couple of blocks away from the beach, offering clean, comfortable rooms with cable television and free toiletries. Where to stayThe South Beach neighborhood is famous for its lively nightlife, stretches of sandy beach, and diverse population. During the day you'll see vacationing families enjoying the beach and the eclectic attractions along the seafront, and at night the area becomes all about fun, with clubs and restaurants lit up along the coast. The Miami Beach area has a distinctive, modern skyline, with glimmering skyscrapers, and high-rise buildings everywhere you look. However, as you get closer, you'll notice a lot of Art Deco influences wherever you go, and this gives many of the streets a quirky, unique feel. How to get to Miami BeachThose visiting as part of a cruise itinerary will arrive via the Port of Miami, an impressive facility capable of holding even the largest cruise liners, and welcoming all the biggest name operators. There are convenient taxi links between the airport and the cruise ships, and some tour operators will book your shuttle as part of the package. Haulover Park Marina is an ideal spot for independent sailors to dock, as it's conveniently located in the north end of the city. Miami, FL (MPB-Public Seaplane Base) can be found between the city of Miami and the Miami beach area, and as well as being open for public use, you can book rides to see the area from a new perspective.

rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
Ok, here it goes. Please critique
2009 Texans Mock Draft
1) Terrence Cody, DT, Alabama
I know, another D Lineman? However, Cody is the run-stuffer the Texans need, and will occupy at least 2 blockers. Stamina is a concern (at 365, of course) but he has the makings of an anchor for the line. Will help Okoye rush the passer.
2) Auston English, DE, Oklahoma
Yet another DL? Yes, English will be the pass rusher this team needs, and is none to shabby against the run. Imagine a DL of: Mario-Okoye-Cody-English
3) Brandon Carter, G, Texas Tech
Not ideal for the zone scheme, but it does not really look like the Texans run that anyway. Carter will bring an attitude to the line.
4) Bruce Johnson, CB, Miami
Too long to wait for a corner, but Johnson has good athleticism. The improved pass rush hopefully justifies waiting until the 4th round for secondary help.
5) A.Q. Shipley, C, Penn State
Hopefully a diamond in the rough. Very solid player
6) Lee Robinson, OLB, Alcorn State
Too long to wait for OLB help, but again I am banking on the improved DL. Robinson is a minor project, but athleticism and production cannot be denied.
7) Tyler Roehl, HB, North Dakota State
Hear me out, Roehl can play on special teams, and backup the FB spot and RB spot. He is a multi-purpose guy that can benefit the team.
And what the heck, top 5 free agents:
1) Brian Toal, OLB, Boston College
Talented player, just always seems to be injured.
2) Jason Boltus, QB, Hartwick
Project QB puts up insane stats
3) Javorris Jackson, FS, Savannah State
Big FS with range and playmaking ability
4) Tony Dixon, RB, Kentucky
Can never have to many runningbacks
5) Julius Pruitt, WR, Ouachita Baptist
Extremely talented, raw receiver.
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
Would love to pick up Toal after the draft and see what he can do.
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
Cody is an absolute beast:d:
I've rather see Selvie or Cushing in the English spot though
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
Selvie and Cushing I think will be gone before the Texans make a second selection. Probably both gone in the latter thrid of the first round.
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
English looks like a natural 3-4 OLB.
Carter does not fit a ZBS.
I don't know? some interesting ideas but are they coming out? do they fit? :cool:
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
I know Carter does not fit the ZBS but I still feel that the line needs an attitude, and he is a beast. Tech's line is outstanding, and I really dont see alot of the ZBS here in Houston.
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
the ZBS is here to stay & I think Gibbs is here for the duration until he can fix or make the nessecary adjustments. so far he's had one draft & free agent period to work with, I'm sure he'll get some new material to work with I just don't expect they will be anything but athletic & smallish in size.
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
I'm not really hip on moving to a 3-4.
We don't have the LBs and I think making Mario a 3-4 DE would be a big waste. What we really need is a competent Defensive coordinator.
What we do first round will depend on what we do in the off-season obviously and I think we can fill more on the defensive side via FA and cutting the last bit of fat off the defense(Weaver and Greenwood).I'd like to see us do a better job of developing players. We went heavy on defense in later part of the draft especially guys who seemed to have good potential. Molden, Okam and Adibi should start to get some serious reps if this season looks like it is going sour AGAIN.
I think one of the first two picks needs to address the interior of the offensive line.I want someone on this line to really enjoy dominating the guy opposite of him and be an enforcer that this line desperately needs.
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
I'll take two please .... Center and R.Guard. .... two of the top three picks.
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
Just last year they were experimenting with Mario standing up and he had good success. The only good 3-4 OLB that isn't a converted DE is Merriman
DeMeco would suffer the most since he is already getting beaten up this year in the 4-3. It would be the Jon Vilma effect all over again
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
seriously does it really matter? we're somewhere between both worlds, sort of a Pans Labyrinth of NFL football. Mario is still a foundation piece RDE/RDT, Amobi LDE/LDT (Okoye could be a really outstanding left end against the run with speed to pressure/sack the QB his size inside is being neutralized) & yes Terrence "MOUNT" Cody in the middle. the biggest mistake the Texans made in 04 (no disrespect to Dunta) was not taking Vince Wilfork, with Payne always hurt they had to upgrade & they didn't. you can't run a dominating 3-4 without a 2 gap nose. in regards to DeMeco he could easily be either a hybrid ROLB over Mario. in short we have just as many parts to a whole in either scheme just not enough to play either effective so what difference does it really make? other than to fire the DC & draft accordingly :shades:
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
Re: rmartin65's Texans Mock Draft Version 1.0
....they can't wait on the LB. Demeeco's playing Hurt....and has been for two seasons....the presumption that Dilles is locked and loaded by September is the same kind of assumption they made Last off season with Okoye's improvement this season. They absolutely can't wait on Greenwood and backing up the linebacker slots untill the fifth round. Let me speak plain...Greenwood is done. And assuming here....Adibi, whether it was injuries or incompetences....couldn't get himself onto the field. You can't gamble the '09 sesaon on that.
Overall nice mock. You put some real thought into it.

Spring Hill /Brecks sale
Well, it's that time of year!
As you may know, Spring Hill Nursery closed its retail store last year after some 100+ years. I did not know if they would still hold their annual clearance sales there, I decided to detour to Tipp City on my way home today to see what was going on.
They are having a sale, but not in the same format as past years. Instead of everything $2, and bagged and bareroots, they apparently have been selling for several weeks already and have a large variety of potted items (flowers, vines, grasses, shrubs and trees) with pricing based on the size of the pot--starting at $.99. Most items were in the $1.49 pot. These were mostly the usual catalog staples but there were surprises.
They also had large potted shrubs, roses, iris as usually sold in the garden center--those were half-off the prepriced amount.
I didn't see any of the bare-root bagged items I thought would be there (like hostas, lilies, poppies, geraniums); don't know if they haven't been brought in yet or have already been sold.
I hope to have another opportunity to stop by--one employee said the sale would be going on into June.
I've actually had better luck with the clearance sale plants than with items received in the mail from some nurseries--perhaps because I can pick the plant.
It really is hit or miss, though; if you want a particular plant, you may be disappointed. They don't have everything that is in their catalogs, but they seem to have things & varieties not in their catalogs also.
Overall I'd say that I've had about an 85% success rate, losses mostly because the bareroots I've tended to lose by not potting them promptly, and a few items I didn't realize weren't really hardy here (like the verbena I just brought home!). The only thing I've tried twice with no success are the poppies. At $.99 to $1.49 for anywhere from a single perennial to a bag of 6 or 8 perennials, it has been worth the loss rate to me--I still come out ahead. Never gotten a diseased specimen either. Some are potbound--but they seem to do alright.
Last Friday they had gotten in a lot of bareroot stock--lots of different varieties of blackberry in particular,other berries, also apple, plum, pear, persimmon, pecan, walnut, roses, other trees, rhubarb, strawberries. They all looked good & were $4-$10.. And also bulk crates of different lilies and such. I resisted, with great difficulty, the dwarf honeycrisp apple --just don't know where I'd put it. After I got home I realised I could try espalier training it against the fence, but still not sure if the antique apples about 2 blocks away could pollinate it (think I'll ask this in the fruit forum). It will likely be gone next time anyway.
Many of the perennials and shrubs that I saw last visit were gone, but some new ones in.
They had all vegetable seeds for $.50.
I got a lovely variegated leaf dogwood "golden Shadows"; but the Ninebark "coppertina" that I saw last time and decided that I wanted was gone. (I should know well enough to get something when I see it). Also got a clethra, sedum, clematis, several other nice garden flowers.

This guide demonstrates how to perform common programming tasks with the Twilio API service on Azure. The scenarios covered include making a phone call and sending a Short Message Service (SMS) message. For more information on Twilio and using voice and SMS in your applications, see the Next steps section.
Twilio is powering the future of business communications, enabling developers to embed voice, VoIP, and messaging into applications. They virtualize all infrastructure needed in a cloud-based, global environment, exposing it through the Twilio communications API platform. Applications are simple to build and scalable. Enjoy flexibility with pay-as-you go pricing, and benefit from cloud reliability.
Twilio Voice allows your applications to make and receive phone calls. Twilio SMS enables your applications to send and receive SMS messages. Twilio Client allows you to make VoIP calls from any phone, tablet, or browser and supports WebRTC.
Azure customers receive a special offer: complimentary $10 of Twilio Credit when you upgrade your Twilio Account. This Twilio Credit can be applied to any Twilio usage ($10 credit equivalent to sending as many as 1,000 SMS messages or receiving up to 1000 inbound Voice minutes, depending on the location of your phone number and message or call destination). Redeem this Twilio credit and get started at ahoy.twilio.com/azure.
Twilio is a pay-as-you-go service. There are no set-up fees and you can close your account at any time. You can find more details at Twilio Pricing.
The Twilio API is a RESTful API that provides voice and SMS functionality for applications. Client libraries are available in multiple languages; for a list, see Twilio API Libraries.
Key aspects of the Twilio API are Twilio verbs and Twilio Markup Language (TwiML).
The API makes use of Twilio verbs; for example, the <Say> verb instructs Twilio to audibly deliver a message on a call.
The following is a list of Twilio verbs. Learn about the other verbs and capabilities via Twilio Markup Language documentation.
TwiML is a set of XML-based instructions based on the Twilio verbs that inform Twilio of how to process a call or SMS.
As an example, the following TwiML would convert the text Hello World to speech.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Say>Hello World</Say>
When your application calls the Twilio API, one of the API parameters is the URL that returns the TwiML response. For development purposes, you can use Twilio-provided URLs to provide the TwiML responses used by your applications. You could also host your own URLs to produce the TwiML responses, and another option is to use the TwiMLResponse object.
For more information about Twilio verbs, their attributes, and TwiML, see TwiML. For additional information about the Twilio API, see Twilio API.
When you're ready to get a Twilio account, sign up at Try Twilio. You can start with a free account, and upgrade your account later.
When you sign up for a Twilio account, you'll receive an account ID and an authentication token. Both will be needed to make Twilio API calls. To prevent unauthorized access to your account, keep your authentication token secure. Your account ID and authentication token are viewable at the Twilio account page, in the fields labeled ACCOUNT SID and AUTH TOKEN, respectively.
An Azure application that hosts a Twilio enabled application is no different from any other Azure application. You add the Twilio .NET library and configure the role to use the Twilio .NET libraries. For information on creating an initial Azure project, see Creating an Azure project with Visual Studio.
Twilio provides a set of .NET helper libraries that wrap various aspects of Twilio to provide simple and easy ways to interact with the Twilio REST API and Twilio Client to generate TwiML responses.
Twilio provides five libraries for .NET developers:
Note that all libraries require .NET 3.5, Silverlight 4, or Windows Phone 7 or later.
The samples provided in this guide use the Twilio.API library.
The libraries can be installed using the NuGet package manager extension available for Visual Studio 2010 and 2012. The source code is hosted on GitHub, which includes a Wiki that contains complete documentation for using the libraries.
By default, Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 installs version 1.2 of NuGet. Installing the Twilio libraries requires version 1.6 of NuGet or higher. For information on installing or updating NuGet, see http://nuget.org/.
To install the latest verison of NuGet, you must first uninstall the loaded version using the Visual Studio Extension Manager. To do so, you must run Visual Studio as administrator. Otherwise, the Uninstall button is disabled.
The following shows how to make an outgoing call using the TwilioRestClient class. This code also uses a Twilio-provided site to return the Twilio Markup Language (TwiML) response. Substitute your values for the From and To phone numbers, and ensure that you verify the From phone number for your Twilio account prior to running the code.
// Use your account SID and authentication token instead
// of the placeholders shown here.
string accountSID = "your_twilio_account";
string authToken = "your_twilio_authentication_token";
// Create an instance of the Twilio client.
TwilioRestClient client;
client = new TwilioRestClient(accountSID, authToken);
// Use the Twilio-provided site for the TwiML response.
String Url="http://twimlets.com/message";
Url = Url + "?Message%5B0%5D=Hello%20World";
// Instantiate the call options that are passed
// to the outbound call
CallOptions options = new CallOptions();
// Set the call From, To, and URL values to use for the call.
// This sample uses the sandbox number provided by
// Twilio to make the call.
options.From = "+NNNNNNNNNN";
options.To = "NNNNNNNNNN";
options.Url = Url;
// Make the call.
var call = client.InitiateOutboundCall(options);
For more information about the parameters passed in to the client.InitiateOutboundCall method, see http://www.twilio.com/docs/api/rest/making-calls.
As mentioned, this code uses a Twilio-provided site to return the TwiML response. You could instead use your own site to provide the TwiML response. For more information, see How to: Provide TwiML responses from your own web site.
The following screenshot shows how to send an SMS message using the TwilioRestClient class. The From number is provided by Twilio for trial accounts to send SMS messages. The To number must be verified for your Twilio account before you run the code.
// Use your account SID and authentication token instead
// of the placeholders shown here.
string accountSID = "your_twilio_account";
string authToken = "your_twilio_authentication_token";
// Create an instance of the Twilio client.
TwilioRestClient client;
client = new TwilioRestClient(accountSID, authToken);
// Send an SMS message.
Message result = client.SendMessage(
"+14155992671", "+12069419717", "This is my SMS message.");
if (result.RestException != null)
//an exception occurred making the REST call
string message = result.RestException.Message;
When your application initiates a call to the Twilio API - for example, via the client.InitiateOutboundCall method - Twilio sends your request to a URL that is expected to return a TwiML response. The example in How to: Make an outgoing call uses the Twilio-provided URL http://twimlets.com/message to return the response.
While TwiML is designed for use by web services, you can view the TwiML in your browser. For example, click http://twimlets.com/message to see an empty <Response> element; as another example, click http://twimlets.com/message?Message%5B0%5D=Hello%20World to see a <Response> element that contains a <Say> element.
Instead of relying on the Twilio-provided URL, you can create your own URL site that returns HTTP responses. You can create the site in any language that returns HTTP responses. This topic assumes you'll be hosting the URL from an ASP.NET generic handler.
The following ASP.NET Handler crafts a TwiML response that says Hello World on the call.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
namespace WebRole1
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Handler1
/// </summary>
public class Handler1 : IHttpHandler
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
context.Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
context.Response.ContentEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8;
string twiMLResponse = "<Response><Say>Hello World.</Say></Response>";
public bool IsReusable
return false;
As you can see from the example above, the TwiML response is simply an XML document. The Twilio.TwiML library contains classes that will generate TwiML for you. The example below produces the equivalent response as shown above, but uses the TwilioResponse class.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
namespace WebRole1
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Handler1
/// </summary>
public class Handler1 : IHttpHandler
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
var twiml = new Twilio.TwiML.TwilioResponse();
twiml.Say("Hello World.");
context.Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
public bool IsReusable
return false;
For more information about TwiML, see https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/twiml.
Once you have set up a way to provide TwiML responses, you can pass that URL into the client.InitiateOutboundCall method. For example, if you have a web application named MyTwiML deployed to an Azure cloud service, and the name of your ASP.NET Handler is mytwiml.ashx, the URL can be passed to client.InitiateOutboundCall as shown in the following code sample:
// Place the call From, To, and URL values into a hash map.
// This sample uses the sandbox number provided by Twilio to make the call.
options.From = "NNNNNNNNNN";
options.To = "NNNNNNNNNN";
options.Url = "http://<your_hosted_service>.cloudapp.net/MyTwiML/mytwiml.ashx";
// Place the call.
var call = client.InitiateOutboundCall(options);
For additional information about using Twilio on Azure with ASP.NET, see How to make a phone call using Twilio in a web role on Azure.
In addition to the examples shown here, Twilio offers web-based APIs that you can use to leverage additional Twilio functionality from your Azure application. For full details, see the Twilio API documentation.

We hope you enjoy reading our member stories. If you have met someone on Oasis and would like to share your success story then Submit your Story.
My partner and I first connected on the 24th of November 2013. I was on here for a while and had just broken up with someone from here, so had been reluctant to start again. Taking things slowly we met for coffee on the 12th December 2013.
Since then he spent months pursuing me. I was scared to get into another relationship and after 2 months of dates and friendship we officially started dating 24th February 2014.
We spent heaps of time together before I realised I had met my perfect match. We got engaged on 17th August 2014 and will be getting married September 2015. Thanks Oasis!
I came across a guy from Port Talbot, Wales, we started talking on Oasis and after a while progressed to Facebook. I knew he was the one when I first saw his picture, our chat flowed and we both wanted the same things for the future.
We met and it was amazing, I now cannot imagine my life without him! We get on great with each other's families and after 10 months we are talking about moving in together.
I'm glad I came I joined Oasis, I met my true love and I don't know what I would do without him so thank you Oasis, you helped me find my true love and my soulmate.
I was over the whole meeting guys at a club basically wasting money and time. So I gave Oasis a try. My luck wasn't turning around, one bad mistake after another. Until I accepted a request from this down to earth cutie.
We chatted for hours and days on end until we finally arranged to meet for the first time. It was scary. He picked me up and we went for a casual drive, just chatting as if we had known each other for years.
I never believed in love at first sight nor finding love on the internet but both hit me like a ton of bricks.
After that night we just got closer and closer until he finally asked me out. It was great. We have had our ups and downs but 3 years later we have never been happier!
Thank you Oasis. If it wasn't for you. We would not have met!
So I saw him on the site during February 2012 he was tall and so handsome he knocked me for six.
The first date was amazing we just went for a quiet drink and ended up talking for five hours straight it was the best date I had ever been on he was wonderful to talk to and made me laugh the whole evening.
Our second date two days later was a movie and something to eat this time we ended up sitting and talking until the early hours of the morning. We have been inseparable ever since.
We moved in together in 2013 and got engaged two weeks ago it's been the best three years of my life all because of him. I found the love of my life he is my best friend and soul mate all rolled into one I can't wait to marry him next year and become his wife!
Finally think I have met the one! I have never been so happy and we hit it off right from the start. Things are going so good and our feelings are getting stronger as the days go on.
We have been together for 2 months now and I have honestly never been happier so thank you Oasis for finding my perfect Mr right!

I asked Santa for a set of snowshoes for Christmas and he left a pair under the tree! They even came with walking poles! But it has been SO cold and icy since Christmas, today was the first day it was nice enough to give them a whirl. But not before I checked out a handy video from L.L. Bean about the basics.
I don't like ticks. Icky, gross and they can carry disease for people and animals. NOW it look like ticks are affecting us in cold weather too. They don't take a winter break.
Super clever and I love not a word is spoken.
DID you see the moon?? It is a big plump full moon. To be all official, it will be full on full moon at 4:28am Tuesday December 17th. This moon is call the Full Cold Moon or the Long Nights Moon, both good names for the December full moon.
In case you missed it, these guys came across two bucks that were tangled up from fighting. One is already dead, while the other is still alive and fighting. Once they got the pair unlocked, what the live buck did next was kind of remarkable.
I am always one for conspiracy theories when it comes to UFOs. Last evening in the Montreal area there was a a flash of light seen and a loud crashing boom heard at about 8 pm, but what was it? The crashing sound could also be heard in upstate New York. Was it a UFO? Was it a meteor breaking the sound barrier?
Who knew! But there is the list from Time Magazine. One of my favorites are on the list. The LCC K-9 Comfort Dogs.

Brown backs Johnson for full-time role
ESPN Staff
March 16, 2013
Kelly Brown and his team-mates have enjoyed a resurgence under interim boss Scott Johnson © Getty Images
Scotland skipper Kelly Brown has backed interim boss Scott Johnson to be handed the job on a full-time basis.
Brown, who stepped into the hotseat after previous coach Andy Robinson stepped down, is in line to secure a permanent position having steered the Scots to two victories in this year's Six Nations. And Brown, who will lead the side in their final championship clash with France on Saturday night, has hailed the impact of the Australian coach.
"The boys have really enjoyed working with Scott. He's got an incredible turn of phrase. Some of his lines are unbelievable," Brown told PA Sport. "Have I got a favourite? I quite like his line about stats being like a bikini - they show you a lot but not the whole thing. That one was quite good.
"He's always got a bit of humour in the changing room but behind all of these, there is a serious message and these quips are just his way of making the point. All the guys have bought into what he's been trying to do.
"If you look at our performances over the championship, there is no doubt we have made improvements, so I think Scott has put down a good marker for the job - but it's not my call."
Former England head coach Robinson walked away from the Scotland job after his side were shocked 21-15 by Tonga in the autumn Internationals. But Brown insists that both men have done well for their adopted nation.
He said: "Anytime there is a new coach, by the very nature of it, there is a bit of freshness because it's different people involved. I enjoyed working with Andy, just as I enjoy working with Scott now. They are very different but in my opinion are both very good coaches."

A trail of Michelle Bernstein's Crumb leads to The Webster
Bernstein bakery fave sets up shop at South Beach's swanky clothier
Last week, Michelle Bernstein announced via her Crumb on Parchment Twitter feed that the Design District bakery fave was setting up shop within South Beach's swanky retail spot, The Webster. Crumb takes over the space formerly known as the hyper luxe Caviar Kaspia.
"I've been a fan of The Webster since it opened and love the space," says Bernstein. "The care and thought that Laure and Milan (The Webster's owners) put into everything they do is evident and mirror how David (Martinez, her husband and business partner) and I approach cooking and hospitality. Working together was a very easy decision to make."
Crumb will serve lunch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday and coffee, pastries and cocktails until 8 p.m.
As for Bernstein's other endeavors, she and hubby Martinez will continue to own and operate the original as well as Michy's and, according to vague PR hints, "additional restaurant concepts are also in the works."

"Good work life balance "
I worked at AT&T as a contractor (more than 3 years)
get to work on everything end-end. Need to stick to schedule of development plan to avoid last minute hassles. work is not stressfull in planned right.
can get hectic during QA cycles and issue resolution for production support. dependency on other teams can create delays which can set back a lot of work

I worked at AT&T as a contractor (less than a year)Pros
You can experience the wonder of answering customers concerns, and in helping them, you can also upsell the services they already have. Thus you help both the company and the customers, and yourself for that matter. Working with AT&T was really a pleasure, and hoping I will have the chance to work for/with them again in the future. I love the services, and I love to help their customers get the best service, and the best brand, and that's AT&T.Cons
Well, for the negative side, I think I just happened to be in a place wherein the management of AT&T Uverse wasn't the person I thought of, to be working with. I was looking for a one team stand, for us to be able to work for the company and its clientele, but the main man on the sight, just wasn't someone I could work with, so I had to leave. But I love my work and serving, that's why I wish to work again for the company that's AT&T.Advice to ManagementAdvice
I grew up with parents who trains and manages some people. And in managing people, and since we're service oriented, I would like to think the managers of all centers bearing the name AT&T will be agent and people oriented, and not simply selling. I would like AT&T to really be great more than it is now. And I'm sure, AT&T will find more ways to achieve the mission and vision.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

Most comic-book stores live up, or down, to the stereotype: the good ol' fanboy club, the fortress of solitude and attitude. Woe to the novice who walks in unaware of what awaits him (or her, and let's be serious); you're in for the stink-eye from the guy behind the counter, who can't believe you don't know about Preacher or Top 10. Titan Comics, which bills itself as "the store for ther serious collector," exists almost to disprove the cliche. It's owned by a woman (Cecilia Shorr, who started her first comic shop in Houston almost two decades ago), staffed by women and Cecilia's kindly husband, Jeremy, and filled not only with the latest DC and Marvel titles, but the oddball good stuff that disproves the notion comics are still for superheroes. With its wall of new stuff and boxes of old stuff, Titan has become our home away from home, at least until we restock our boxes with copies of World's Finest, Brave and the Bold and Daredevil--ya know, the ones our moms sold when we went to college.

Site Updated 24/03/2015
We are a family-run
retail plant nursery.
We have been growing
& selling an extremely
wide selection of plants
here in the Scottish
Highlands since 1979.
We have for sale
Bedding Plants
Dwarf Conifers
House Plants
And a few Trees.
The majority grown on
site with care & love by
Ben & Lesley
We are not a Garden
Centre, so no tea room
or gift shop, all our
effort goes into
producing top quality &
excellent value plants.
The Met Office Local
Weather forecast:
Opening Hours
10am to 6pm. Monday to Saturday. March to Late October or by appointment.
We are near Poolewe in Wester Ross, in the remote & beautiful North West Highlands of
Scotland and 2kms north of the world renowned
Inverewe Gardens.
See our
page for details of how to get here.
Made with Xara
© Garden Cottage Nursery, 2015
Tough and Beautiful plants grown in the Scottish Highlands.
Our Stock
reflects the prevailing conditions here, with lots of salty wind, high rainfall & fairly mild but
long winters, as well as lots of poor, shallow, highly acidic peaty soils. As such
conditions make some forms of 'conventional' gardening difficult & there is little readily
available information on how to grow plants up here we have written several
informational pieces to help customers get the most from their
gardens or just to know more about what make plants tick.
Amongst Our Stock
We have many
Brachyglottis, Hebe, Olearia
We offer more varieties than
anyone else of
a genus of great variety and utility. We also offer much else
besides that is rare & unusual as well as some of the more run-of-the-mill old favourites.
Other popular specialities include the bog loving 'candelabra' Primulas
, Erythronium
the spring through to
for the autumn.
Visit Wester Ross
Our nursery is located in a beautiful part of the country and is itself in a lovely sheltered
setting with the sales frames arranged around the garden. Surprisingly though we are
not all that is worth seeing hereabouts. When you are done here please follow this link to
a useful site to make people aware of what's going on and accommodation in our area.
Second Hand Books
Founder of the nursery Ron Rushbrooke now sells second hand books through the
internet and from
Ron's Book Bothy
upstairs in Poolewe Village Hall above his daughter
Button Bothy
jewellery studio.
Pictures speak a thousand words, and when it comes to describing plants those words
are mostly Latin jargon, so if you don't know your cordate from your palmate having a
picture helps. Nearly every plant that goes through the nursery gets it's photo taken, we
are uploading most of these plant portraits to the photo sharing site Flickr. We keep
adding more photos all the time and we regularly update the
index here.
If you would like some free cut-out & keep desktop backgrounds? Here are
some pretty pictures for you. We've just added a couple more backgrounds.

As most daisies have very small individual parts to their flowers finding distinctions can
be difficult and this has led to Asteraceae, the daisy family, historically having
comparatively few genera with large numbers of species in many of the genera.
As DNA analysis technology has improved in the last 20 years taxonomists can now
compare genes of plants and fill-out their family trees and see their true relationships.
The first of a genus to have been named is known as the 'type' and it is the standard to
which all others must be compared. The European
Aster amellus
is Aster's type species.
has been scrutinised and from a peak of 500 species in the 70s, current
indications suggest just 152 remain in
, mostly Eurasian species, but expect further
trimming in coming years. Most of the "Asters" that we grow in gardens, like the classic
'Michaelmas Daisies', originate in America and are no longer considered to be in

As we near Easter and April the weather continues to be unsettled, but the plants on the
Nursery are really starting to show signs of activity: Seeds are starting to germinate, bulbs
and spring bedding are flowering and the early flowering Rhodos have so far been spared
any harsh frosts to spoil their flowers.

The Space
Experience the charm of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn! A traditionally Italian-American neighborhood, it is now dotted with lovely boutiques, shops and cafes, and yet has retained many of its long-standing family run businesses.
Try the lard bread at Caputo's Bakery on the next block, or experience the best classic Italian sandwich at Esposito & Sons meat shop just two blocks over. Then stop in for an afternoon beer at the Alpine restaurant, Brooklyn Buschenshank, conveniently located on the ground floor. Please check my guidebook for more suggestions on other great neighborhood places!
The apartment is located in a building on a prime corner in quaint Carroll Gardens only two short blocks from the (F) subway. What was once a brothel in the '50s and '60s is now spacious but cozy 2 bedroom flat on the 3rd floor.
Upon entering the apartment you will walk into a beautiful, tranquil, and spacious living room with an open kitchen layout. Off the living and kitchen area there are two equally sized bedrooms, each with a window overlooking Court Street (one of the two main commercial streets). Original wood ceiling beams give charm to the space.
The apartment also features:
Two queen beds with white bedding
Bathroom with tub & shower
Fresh towels and linens
Utensils/pots for cooking
4-burner stove and oven
Hair dryer
Heat and A/C
It is a 3 floor walk-up.

The F/G train at Carroll Street is a 5 minute walk.
Goed en ruim appartement. Schoon en prima bedden. We kregen een paar dagen voor vertrek de code voor het slot en dat is een fijne manier, omdat je geen gedoe hebt met maar een sleutel. De keuken is ruim voorzien van pannen en bestek. Je kunt gemakkelijk hier af en toe zelf koken. De buurt is heerlijk. Geweldige winkeltjes en restaurants.
This is a wonderful apartment in a great neighborhood. Amy made everything so easy. We would definitely stay here again!
We enjoyed staying in this apartment and exploring Brooklyn. The apartment was clean and spacious. It is in a vintage building so the wooden floors are squeaky but we soon became used to that. Amy communicated quickly and well with us at all times.The Metro F line is close by and Manhattan is not far away. There are many good shops and eating places in the street, even Trader Joes just minutes away! We
would definitely come back again.
The apartment was very nice, clean and as described. Amy is very polite and helpful, everything was fine.
My parents and aunt stayed here over our wedding weekend, and they had a great time. The apartment is super cute and in a very walkable neighborhood filled with restaurants and shops. Amy was a very responsive host, and her apartment was perfect for our needs.
Arranging our booking was smooth and Amy was quick to respond. I really loved my short stay at this apartment. The neighborhood is awesome. I wish I was there longer. We walked over the Brooklyn Bridge over to Manhattan one day which was a big highlight for me. The apartment is about a half hour walk from the Brooklyn Bridge Park which is pretty and has nice views. Lots of cute stores and restaurants in the area. The floors are really squeaky but we got used to it. The apartment was really clean and relaxing.
Lovely airy apartment in a great neighbourhood. Just a 10 minute walk to subway and F line is so easy to get into the city. Good communication from Amy, and everything was as it said it would be. I would very happily stay here again.

|When to switch from Atripla?
May 29, 2008
Hello my heroes! I'm a 55 yr old, poz for 6 years. I have taken Sustiva or Atripla for 5 years, and still have sleep and anxiety issues that are affecting my quality of life. If I make a switch to something else, can I go back to this otherwise effective regimen, should something else not work out? I am struggling with making this decision, as my presend meds are effective in every other way, and I don't want to compromise that. This has been the only regimen I have ever been on. But, honestly, I am living a life that is suffering from sleep deprivation and anxiety. ny advice? Thanks for all you do!

Many HIV specialists are used to switching around effective regimens to try and minimize an annoying side effect. That is a common practice. A trial on a boosted PI based regimen for several months to see what happens to your sleep/anxiety problems is worth considering after discussion with your HIV specialist. KH
