"If you wish to steal atom bombs, this is how you must do it! Fleming's mastery of detail enables the reader to suspend disbelief." (Sunday Telegraph)
"Thunderball is a terrific book....excellent characterizations, is extremely moody and dark in tone, and full of dynamic action." (Raymond Benson, author of High Time to Kill)
The action-oriented espionage classics by Ian Fleming are always an enjoyable read, or in this case, listen. The audio is great, and the narrator's voice and accent create an enthralling, believable production of the literature.
"A classic"
Simon Vance's performance is excellent, and the story has all the classic Bond elements of fast paced action and interesting characters.
It's a good story, one of the best of the Bonds.
The underwater fight scene is a classic.
It was my second listen, so no visceral reaction this time. It was, however, quite a fun listen.
I'm open to any book as long as it is true to itself.
"The performance was good as always"
I am working my way through the bond books in order, and this one was a filler it was OK, it did have some real excitement but it did not have the depth of some of the other books. The supporting cast was weak especially the girl it was more like a Bond film rather than a Bond book. Personally I prefer the Bond of the books, I would not go so far as to say give it a miss, just do not expect too much.
"Fun story, decently read."
Vance did a great job reading this piece, but the foreign voices (American, German, Russian, etc.) seemed a bit cartoonish. The story is exciting. Definitely worth the read!
"Good narration, great book..."
While I liked the movie, I loved the book. This book is well written and very well read.
1123 down, Millions To Go!
"Top Bond Book! Superb Narration!"
Ian Fleming and Simon Vance team up to make this one of the most enjoyable Bond books!
"Classic Bond"
classic Bond enjoy it everything I listen to it. This is my 3rd time I think.
I am a 30 year old over-the-road truck driver. I listen to A LOT of audiobooks!
"Great book. Top notch narrator."
Another great 007 story from Ian Fleming. I really enjoyed the differences in the novel versus the book. Simon Vance gives another GREAT performance as narrator.
"A Solid Bond Entry"
Yes, this story is a little/lot dated and the performance seems to make it more real, kind of like a retrospective spy novel, set in the late 1950's.
Yes and no. I read this book nearly 40 years ago, and most of us have seen the movie, which somewhat follows the book and in many ways does not. So there was a missing element of suspense for me personally. I really loved reading these James Bond novels in my junior high school and high school years. It was good to relive this work as an older adult and find the book still interesting and the characters, locales and action compelling. This is one of the better James Bond entries and set the stage for many fun movies and future novels bases on the premise of the Spector criminal organization. Fleming seems to delight in putting you into beautiful locales with lavish yachts, casinos and mansions. It's all good fun and entertaining.
Simon Vance did an excellent job narrating this spy novel.
Yes, it is realively short in length so it is possible. The book has a certain flow that you will enjoy letting the story unfold. Ian Fleming was an excellent storyteller, so you are never stuck with a dull chapter. Fleming wrote in a sparse number of pages with a large numbers of chapters so each becomes it own little cliffhanger. You are teased into needing to listen to the next chapter and the next and so on.
This is an excellent entry in the Bond series and well worth the time and expense to enjoy. All that said, it is a product of the 1950's so much of it may ring quaint or even a little campy.

BAYTOWN, Texas - An adult who supported cheerleaders at Baytown's Robert E. Lee High School has been charged with allegedly stealing more than $13,000 over the course of nearly two years from their booster club account.
Authorities say they are investigating the current president of the school's cheerleading booster club, who took the job in February 2011.
Club members said starting two months later, the president inappropriately acquired money from the club's account, without seeking the board's approval, of more than $13,000.
In a statement to Local 2, a spokesman with the Goose Creek Consolidated Independent School District confirmed an investigation and said the allegation does not involve school district funds.
"The booster club operates as a 501(c)(3) organization and raises funds independently from the school district to support cheerleader activities," said the spokesman.
"I've never really heard of anything happen like that out here," said Ina Frederick, a Baytown parent. "It's really shocking."
The president allegedly was taking money up until early last week. Ironically, the cheerleaders have a code of conduct they're expected to live by, but may have been victimized by an adult who should've known better.
"They're adults and they're supposed to lead by example," said Maria George, a parent. "If they are not setting examples for these little kids coming up, how do we want our kids to obey us when we as adults aren't setting examples?"
Police said they are continuing the investigation to determine if more money was stolen and to see if anyone else may have been involved.

althaz - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkI've got a Das Keyboard "Silent" Pro with Cherry-MX Brown switches which I love. It's WAY better than Red's for typing (as a developer I do this a lot) and for gaming it's also superior (I say this as somebody who mostly plays a lot of Starcraft, so take that for what it's worth).
The Greens intrigue me however, I hope I'm able to try some out (my das has had some coke spilled on it, which has made the numpad quite gross to type on, so time for a new keyboard).
I was thinking of a Filco (according to most people the greatest keyboard ever, though I'm yet to actually get to try one), but if greens nice enough, I may be swayed. Reply
althaz - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkI wrote Filco, but I meant Topre...brain fade (it's almost home-time on Friday, so give me a break). Reply
maximumGPU - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkLeopold with brown here, love them and prefer them to blues.
But same as you i'm now very interested in those new greens, does sound like the best of both worlds. Reply
jhoff80 - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkI don't know, once I got past the adjustment period on my Reds, I really like them for typing. The first week was hellish (and I was afraid I'd made a huge mistake) as I adjusted to the light activation force and frequently had stray letters show up, but now I love them for typing. Reply
Kougar - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkAlso using that same DAS keyboard for the MX Brown switches. But I would really, really love it if they combined the Cherry MX Brown with the Cherry MX Green, as I would want the silence as well as the stronger actuation force reminiscent of older 90's mech keyboards, which is what the Greens offer.
It's still weird considering that the Cherry MX Green switch was designed solely as a spacebar switch too... Reply
Mr Perfect - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkGreens are a clicky switch, usually used as a spacebar switch in blue boards. if you want a non-clicky switch with a higher activation force, you'd be interested in Cherry Clears. Reply
Kougar - Saturday, January 12, 2013 - linkStrange, so do they think more people would want the actual clicking than without? I would've thought making a Clear keyboard would've been a better seller.
Thanks for the info! Are there any keyboards using them that you could recommend? I see Cherry MX makes a couple directly and I found one from Leopold...
This is starting to get nuts though. Wish someone had a Topre keyboard in town that I could test out, maybe that's what I'm looking for. Reply
Flunk - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkI'm also a software developer and the Cherry-MX Blues are really what you want for typing. I've had a Razer Blackwidow on my desk for the last year and my hands have thanked me profusely.
Gaming... I'm not sure why anyone really buys a keyboard for gaming, I don't think my performance is any different on any keyboard over any other. Reply
Tetracycloide - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkSame reasons people buy specific keys for typing. Reply
Omega215D - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkThe guys at Overclock.net really know their stuff and will help out anyone with questions about a particular type of keyboard or brand if they can.
We've known about Greens for a while and some even have taunted us by telling us about their keyboards equipped with them. I probably would try them out in the near future as I have a nice CM Storm Trigger equipped with browns and trust the Cooler Master brand with peripherals. Reply
Omega215D - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkIt was actually a Cooler Master rep telling us about the greens and a guesstimate of their arrival for retail. Reply
IanCutress - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkI love the OCN Mechanical keyboard guide. :) Reply
Inteli - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkI'm actually building a custom keyboard this summer and It's going to have greens. They're practically polar opposites from the Browns I've been typing on, but It'll be a pleasant experience I think. They're basically Cherry MX Blues with a Black spring. You can make a near-identical feeling switch by taking a Blue stem and changing the springs for MX Blacks. Whites are similar, but I hear they have a much softer clack that isn't nearly as pleasant. Reply
JLQ - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkYeah, Whites have an actuation force similar to the Blacks. However, I find the softer click to be much more tolerable than the pronounced one in Blues. I have them in a KBT Race board; only thing I don't like are the Cherry stabilizers, which make the shift keys unbearably mushy. Reply
Inteli - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkI actually have a Leopold with Cherry Stabilizers, and I don't see what you mean with mushy keys. My keys are fine, and I can use them very well. I'm going with Costar Stabilizers with my custom keyboard, but that's just to have a keyboard and see what the fuss is all about. I personally like my Cherry stabilizers just a bit more than my Dad's Costar because of how much easier it is to replace the keycaps. Reply
deadmau - Friday, January 11, 2013 - linkOriginally I purchased Red's strictly for gaming, but I found them to be more pleasurable to type on even than the renowned browns commonly used for typing. Cherry RED all day ERRDAY! Reply
sicyo - Friday, August 09, 2013 - linkSo where's the Cooler Master HAF xB review? It's been a while. Reply

The teams for the new season of The Amazing Race have been announced and it turns out two of the 22 around-the-world racers are Cooking Channel's own Fabulous Beekman Boys, Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Dr. Brent Ridge. Given their background, we think they have a pretty good shot at the million dollar prize. Learning to run a 200-year-old farm, raise a herd of goats, launch a lifestyle business and maintain a healthy relationship is probably as good of a prep for an intense global competition than anything.
Find out what Josh and Brent are made of when the Fabulous Beekman Boys premieres on Cooking Channel on Thursday, September 20th at 10pm ET.

Top Rank Looking to Keep Chavez Jr Fight in El Paso It's not often that a pre-fight press conference turns into a showcase for an announcement that a fight won't be happening as planned (although Top Rank is getting more familiar with this, after the Brandon Rios-Yuriorkis Gamboa fiasco earlier this year). That's what took place in El Paso recently for the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Andy Lee fight. Planned for Sun Bowl Stadium at UTEP, the University of Texas El Paso, the fight will not be basically banned from taking place there due to security concerns about border violence breaching the city. In its place, Top Rank officials are still looking to try to hold the fight in El Paso at another site or location. Credit: Will Hart - HBO Of course, not everyone agrees with that decision. First and foremost is Top Rank, who don't believe the reason for the cancellation. In addition, in an article at Chron.com, senator Jose Rodriguez had this to say: "I strongly oppose the decision b...

SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo men's and women's cross country teams continued to be recognized for their academic success as they were named members of the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Team, it was announced recently.
The men concluded the year with a 3.41 GPA, ranking them first out of three Sunshine State Conference School's reporting. Florida Southern was second with a 3.39 GPA and the University of Tampa accumulated a 3.10 average.
Despite a lower grade-point-average (3.15), Adam's State College was named Scholar Team of the Year for the second consecutive season. Their GPA, coupled with their finish in the NCAA Cross Country Championships gave the Grizzlies the edge.
It was no different on the women's side, as an impressive showing at the NCAA Championships, teamed with a 3.38 GPA gave Adam's State the title.
The Saint Leo women registered a 3.24 grade-point-average, placing them second of SSC school's listed. Tampa and its 3.69 GPA ranked first, while the Moccasins of Florida Southern closed the semester with a 3.23.
For a team to be considered for the USTFCCCA All-Academic Team award, they must have competed and compiled a team score at an NCAA Regional Championship and also have a minimum 3.00 team cumulative GPA.

ORLANDO, Fla. - With two weeks left until the November election, Facebook pages have seen a big increase in political posts. At times, those posts are tearing apart life-long friends, neighbors, even families.
Pati Howard, of College Park, used to become angry by all the attacks against Republicans, until she discovered the "hide" button.
"The story is now hidden from your news feed so I don't have to look at it anymore," said Howard.
Howard is not the only person who is no longer looking at cartoons, posts and comments contrary to their views.
Lee Kersey admitted on Local 6's Facebook page, "I have been unfriended. LOL"
Minutes later, she was called out by Tito Wilson who posted: "Lee Kersey, don't forget to tell how you unfriended me."
In fact, according to a recent Pew Research Center study, nearly 1 in 5 users have blocked, hidden or unfriended someone over politics.
Howard says she has not unfriended anyone, yet.
"No, but I've been tempted, I've been tempted," said Howard. "Just one too many nasty comments, but that was before I discovered hide."
If you're like Howard and you're tired of all the personal politicking, perhaps you can find some new friends on Facebook pages like "Keep Politics off of Facebook", or "No one wants to hear about your politics, especially on Facebook."
Another option may be what's known as "socialfixer." At www.socialfixer.com, you can download a browser add-on that allows you to filter out posts through keywords.
"We still have to be friends on November 7," said Howard. "Unless of course we have another Bush/Gore thing. Wait and see how nasty Facebook is then!"

PRETORIA: The Brumbies missed out on securing a historic victory but skipper Ben Mowen is adamant his team proved it belongs at the top of the Australian conference.
The Brumbies went within two points of causing the biggest upset of the season on Saturday when they launched a late fightback against the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld.
But a controversial refereeing decision and missed opportunities consigned them to a 36-34 loss and ended their dream of becoming the first Australian team to win in Pretoria since 2006. It wasn't a win, but Jake White's young side left Pretoria with two bonus points to reclaim first place on the Australian table.
''We said we will measure ourselves on whether we win or not, not whether we play well,'' Mowen said. ''We didn't get the win, so as a group we're disappointed. The underlying feeling is the belief this team has got from the last month of football is that we're not measuring ourselves [against other teams] any more. We know where we sit and we firmly believe we should be on top.''
The Brumbies' attack was far superior to that of the Bulls. The visitors sliced the three-time champions open in the first half with brilliant set plays leading to tries for Henry Speight and Jesse Mogg. But ill-discipline in their half gave Bulls sharpshooter Morne Steyn a chance to boot his side to a lead.
Constant penalties and errors halted the Brumbies' momentum in the second half. At one stage the penalty count was 8-2 against the Brumbies. And it was a controversial decision from referee Marius Jonker that put the result beyond the Brumbies' reach.
With the Bulls in front 25-13, Steyn knocked the ball on in his half and every player on the field stopped. Steyn turned away, but breakaway CJ Stander picked up the loose ball and raced 60 metres to score. Publicly the Brumbies have accepted the decision, but privately they are fuming Jonker allowed play to continue despite Steyn clearly losing the ball forward.
White said it was an ''expensive lesson'' for his side after they expected Jonker to stop play. They regrouped to score three tries in the last 11 minutes, but in the end they were their own worst enemy.
Christian Lealiifano missed two conversions and a penalty and Speight dropped the ball over the line in the last 10 minutes.
''You can look back and say, 'Gee we let it slip', but we didn't have the ball for long periods of time,'' White said. ''The players in the change room were a little bit down. A lot of people might have been happy with two points and scoring five tries, but they've got a deflated feeling. Not because they could have won, but probably because they didn't give themselves enough chance.''
Their four-try bonus point and losing by less than seven elevated the Brumbies above the Waratahs on the Australian conference. If they can beat the Lions on Friday night, they will return to Canberra satisfied with their points haul in South Africa.
The Brumbies weren't expected to challenge for a place in the finals when White took over the coaching reins of one of the youngest squads in the competition. ''The one thing I was really pleased about was that the plays we have been training with are working," White said. ''It's reminiscent of the Brumbies of old.''
BULLS 36 (Bjorn Basson, CJ Stander tries Morne Steyn con 7 pens drop goal) bt BRUMBIES 34 (Anthony Hegarty, Jesse Mogg, Ian Prior, Andrew Smith, Henry Speight tries Christian Lealiifano 3 cons pen) at Loftus Versfeld. Referee: Marius Jonker.

Dining in Style at Bar Les Frères
We can think of no cozier place to spend a winter's evening than Bar Les Frères, Zoe Robinson's newest creation and one of the most charming and romantic new dining spots in St. Louis. When it came to the interior design, Robinson was ably assisted by David Richardson, who also worked on the interior of I Fratellini, one of Robinson's other celebrated restaurants and located just across Wydown Boulevard from Les Frères. (Les Frères and I Fratellini are French and Italian for "the brothers," a nod to Robinson's two sons.) Located in a vintage building that was home to a shoe repair business for more than 80 years, the walls of Bar Les Frères are bathed in a decadent red that glows in the twinkling light of vintage crystal chandeliers. Adding to the turn-of-the-century Parisian vibe are all things vintage, including marble-topped tables, white leather banquettes, oil paintings in gilt frames, glassware, and a zinc bar over which a herd of vintage mounted deer antlers keeps watch. One can't help but think Les Frères is exactly the kind of spot that Ernest Hemingway would have loved to hang out.
The Woman's Exchange to Relocate and Re-decorate in May
The Woman's Exchange of St. Louis will relocate in May from its old location on Clayton Road to the Desco Group's renovated Colonial Marketplace, formerly Lammert's Center, at the intersection of Ladue Road and Gay Avenue on the border of Clayton and Ladue. The new location provides substantially more space for the organization's philanthropic activities, primarily providing training and work for individuals through consignment within its on-premise tea room and clothing and accessories shops.
The Woman's Exchange's new location is distinguished by gracious Williamsburg-style architecture and will boast a fresh new interior design befitting the facility. The design work was spearheaded by Women's Exchange board member Lisa Cady and Rindy Fitzgibbon. Candace Williams is president of The Woman's Exchange.
This is the seventh move for The Woman's Exchange, which celebrates its 130th anniversary in 2013. It first opened its doors in September 1883 at 214 N. Sixth Street as a marketplace for women to earn a livelihood through the sale of their handmade goods, and quickly became a destination for shoppers seeking high-quality merchandise. It moved to a second location at 617 Locust Street in 1884, and again in 1898 to the corner of 10th and Olive Streets. In 1899, The Woman's Exchange moved to the North Grand area near Vandeventer Place, and in 1917 to Euclid Avenue in the Central West End. In 1962, The Woman's Exchange moved to 1 Maryland Plaza before settling at 9214 Clayton Road in 1974.
American Tastemaker Aerin Lauder Introduces Home Décor Line
If you have yet to see the new AERIN line of new home décor by Aerin Lauder, you're in for a big treat. Inspired by the cosmetic heiress' signature style of effortless chic, the new brand has a distinctly modern, top-of-the-line look. The AERIN Home Objet collection debuted last fall at select Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue stores. The initial collection includes little luxuries like green agate coasters, gorgeous decorative geodes, porcelain nesting floral bowls, Italian crystal carafe and glasses, sea urchins, starfish and shells---all trimmed or dipped in either 18- or 24-karat gold. Going forward, the AERIN line is only going to get bigger and better. This spring, Lauder also will introduce a fabric collection for Lee Jofa, furniture for E. J. Victor, and lighting for Visual Comfort & Co. (aerin.com)
Soft Surroundings Unveils New Home Furnishings Collection
St. Louis-based Soft Surroundings, a retailer of comfortable clothing, bedding and beauty products, has expanded into furniture and home décor. The initial offering is called the Retreat Collection and features French reproduction furniture and décor inspired by antiques and vintage items acquired in Provence. The company has devoted an entire catalog, Soft Surroundings Retreat, to the new home furnishings line. The merchandise also is available online at softsurroudnigns.com and at 10 retail stores, including the St. Louis location on The Boulevard in Richmond Heights.
"For years, our customers have asked us for the furniture, rugs, paintings – even the dogs from our catalog photography," says Robin Sheldon, president and co-founder of Soft Surroundings. "We've always done our best to find the sources and pass them on. We finally realized that by not having these things readily available to our customers, we weren't providing the experience we want them to have."
Soft Surroundings released its first catalog in 1999 and opened its first retail location in St. Louis in 2005, followed by nine additional locations nationwide.
Laundry Rooms Go Over the Top
When it comes to home renovations, one of the biggest trends for 2013 is over-the-top laundry rooms. That's the word from Jenny Rausch, president of Karr Bick Kitchen + Bath, who had three renovation projects featured in national publications last year. We asked Rausch to bring us up to date on the upscale laundry room trend with the hope of finding something interesting about this never-ending chore.
What's fueling the trend: Houzz and Pinterest have really opened up a portal to the fairy world of laundry rooms where the sky's the limit and you can see spaces in which almost every bell and whistle has been explored. Once you're exposed, you have to have it! The ideas and images get stuck in your mind and you start to think how wonderful such a mundane task could become.
Popular styles: Sometimes elegant, other times whimsical or beachy, and often times very efficient—a place where everything has a place and typically the entire space is very well thought out. You can explore your personality a bit more in this room because typically it's just one family member running the show, unlike a kitchen or bath where you have to compromise.
Laundry room bells and whistles: Fold-out ironing boards, special cubbies for laundry baskets, drying rack hideaways, pull-down dry cleaning rods, wrapping paper drawers, craft storage, hidden laundry units, folding stations, pull-out trash, specialty sinks, sewing centers, big screen TVs, dog food storage....I could go on and on.
The most over-the-top laundry room she's designed: I've done laundry rooms with glass tile, marble counter tops, and crystal chandeliers! If you love an expensive backsplash tile, the good news is in a laundry, you probably won't need that much of it.
How she justifies the expense: Here's the thing: If you make it beautiful, you can make the argument you will go in there more, the laundry will get done, and you won't be as grumpy about doing it! The other argument I will help you make to a significant other who is helping flip the bill is: The more beautiful it is, the more likely you will be to keep everything spotless because you love to look at it! Take it from me—my laundry room has never looked so good! Pay attention to all the details---knobs, tile, cabinets, paint and accessories. Invest in a good lock on the door, too! It's not just a laundry--- it can be a sanctuary.
Stark Home Comes to St. Louis Via Allen Interior Furnishings
Known for both high design and superb quality, the Stark Carpet brand has long been a favorite of professional interior designers, who until now had to travel to New York or Chicago to see the line. Recently, however, St. Louis became one of a handful of U.S. cities to boast its very own Stark Home dealership. The new Stark Home is located at Allen Interior Furnishings in Rock Hill, a leading carpet and area rug resource for St. Louis designers for more than two decades. With the opening of Stark Home, St. Louis-based designers can now quickly and easily view actual swatches of the colors and patterns they are considering for high-end jobs, thanks to a new custom-made display filled with generously sized samples of wool, jute, sisal, sea grass and silk. Stark offers a wide range of noteworthy designs, including a classic white pattern that resembles a piece of fine woolen needlework, to florals and high impact geometrics in a range of fashion-forward colors. Stark Carpet played a key design role in last fall's Ladue News Show House, where a bold brown-and-white geometric graced the stairway and second-floor corridor.

are news feeds from other sites good to make fresh in the websitesare they effectives
I can't quite understand what you're trying to say.
News feeds as in RSS feeds? Twitter feeds?
What do you mean by fresh? Do you mean 'is it innovative'?
I don't know if they're really effective (I assume you mean this as you use the word effectives), simply because it's not your content.
hi thanks yes i am taking rss from some major media , and posting them automatically in some of my pages , is that good , bad or just OK for googleethanks again
i would say probably notbecause the feed will just be duplicate content of another website
Well, that turns it into...not really your site...unless your site is a central point where people can see RSS Feeds.
That would depend upon the terms of use that the major media applies to their content -- feed or otherwise. I'd sure err on the side of caution before I found myself head to head with something like CNN or The New York Times.
As 'ShyFlower' points out DO read the news providers terms & conditions first,some will actually let use one use the content in exchange for a backlink.
DO NOT use javascript to grab/embed RSS feeds (like this), because any passing searchengine will only see the javascript not the actual content of the feed. Fetch theinformation server side using file_get_contents, cURL, or even as JSON with aYahoo Pipe (an ugly hack for where the webhost objects to fgc or curl being used )This allows the text to be included directly into the page HTML so it can be readby search engines and you get some small SEO benefit.
Avoiding being punished for duplicate content... short of re-writing all the articles alittle personal flavour can be achieved by replacing specific words or phrases so thatthe text is not an exact match to the original.For example: Microsoft = Micro$oftWounded = InjuredNew York = Big AppleCrook = villain
An RSS feed is not really going to fool Google into thinking that you are posting original content. You will need to rewrite the articles at some level in order for the engine to interrupt it as fresh. It may be a better use of your time to write small fresh and relevant pieces that are related to your niche. The time you spend rehashing the old could be spent writing something new. Small and new may be better than long and massively distributed in the eyes of Google.
Hi so please would you advice me to stop i wanted just some latest news in my site with less efforti want no trouble and some times it is difficult to understand those media guidelines
They're a really good thing for the websites themselves, as you're providing them with backlinks. That's why sites like the BBC offer news feeds.
You get regularly updated content on your site, so your visitors have something new to read. However, that content links to the news provider (such as the BBC), giving them the traffic (not you). As far as Google is concerned, the content you're adding is duplicate as it's a feed from another site, so it won't do you any good from an SEO point of view.
If SEO and rankings are your concern, stop using feeds and write your own content. If you just want to give your visitors regular content without doing any work, then keep using the feeds.
You can create recent post section for your statis website with rss feed widget or you can show facebook page activity with live straem box similar to rss widget. But do not use others feed intend to rank your site. This will give negative result.
RSS Feeds are great to show in your sidebar (or on occasion in the main content of a page) if they are related to the content of the site. To take someone else's content and to create a post from it is plagiarizing, and against the Terms Of Service of most sites. It can get your site taken down, your hosting account suspended, and if you mess with the wrong people, you can be facing legal action. News articles are copyrighted, just the same as pictures/videos from news sites, and trust me they do take action against people who use their content without permission.
I don't think new feeds alone are sufficient to make up your site's content. One thing you can do is feature news feeds on your site, write commentaries about them, and ask your visitors to comment and rate on the articles.
It will helps now visitors have fresh up to news with one click of Feed.
So does a search engine. Why would I go to a news feed site when I can get more and better results from a Google or Yahoo news search?
You shouldn't have to click to update the contents of a feed though, it's normally automagic.
I see it used quite a lot these days - things happening automagically. I like it too
Using other site's news feeds as content sounds like an autoblog and not a traditional website. You could make the content unique by rewriting it in your own words. You will never get steady traffic if you are just repeating another site's content.
However, rewriting someone else's content is called a "derivative work". If you want to write something in your own words, you research several sources and give credit where credit is due. For instance, "According to... " or "The Times reports that...". And you make sure that you don't quote without their permission.

Best Haute Couture Beauty Looks
Growing up, I went to ballet lessons two days a week and played tennis the other five. When college rolled around, however, I traded in the pointe shoes and racket for heels and a caffe latte. In the nearly 10 years since I graduated, the lax routine remains (my idea of a workout is hiking up the stairs to my fourth-floor Brooklyn apartment). Something that has changed? My body.
"Your cheeks have gotten kind of chubby," my observant mother, who brags about never weighing more than 115 pounds, told me one day (thanks, Mom). Comparing past and present photos of myself, I had to admit she was right. I also had to admit that my hips and thighs had widened and that maybe my superhuman metabolism wasn't what it used to be.
Even after coming out of denial, the effort required to regain my former body seemed like an excruciating task. Squeezing in a trip to the gym after working all day? No, thank you—I'll take my TV with an order of chicken wings and fries. And maybe a little bit of ice cream for dessert.
That's why, when Muscle Milk invited me to its second-annual Fitness Retreat at L.A.'s Venice Beach, I knew I had to accept—how else would I get my lazy butt off the couch? Plus, taking classes taught by celebrity trainers, I figured I could learn a thing or two. Thus, with dreams of Heidi Klum's lean thighs and Cameron Diaz's toned bottom, I set out into unknown territory. Want to go with me? Check out my photo album and notes for all the details!

Greetings from seat 10B. No upgrade today. Have to write an off-day story when I get to Denver.
It will be on Omar Minaya's worst decisions as Mets GM. Your nominations are welcome.
Last night was an interesting game. They showed spunk after Coin Flip blew the lead.
Jose Reyes had a good game. There were comments about how he responded to Jerry Manuel when he sulked when Willie Randolph lectured him.
Fact is, he's a pro and should respond to whoever is the manager.
Of course, I know it doesn't always work that way.

Kutaisi Airport
Kutaisi, Georgia
Georgia is located on a crossroads of rich cultures, with a history of travellers passing through the Caucasus or arriving from the Black Sea. As a result there is increasing demand from airlines to fly to Georgia.
UNStudio's design incorporates both Georgia's historic landscape
and its architecture. In Georgia public buildings and private
houses employ their entrance lobbies as showcases for their
individual identities. The design embraces this architectural
concept in order to manifest Georgia's young and dynamic democracy,
along with its rapid development as a main crossing point in the
The architecture of the Terminal Building refers to a pavilion; a gateway, in which a clear structural layout creates an all encompassing and protective volume. The volume is structured around a central exterior space which is used for departing passengers. The transparent space around this central point is designed to ensure that flows of passengers are smooth and that departure and arrival flows do not coincide.
The 55 meter high Air Traffic Control Tower is designed to
compliment the design of the terminal. The traffic control cabin on
the top level forms the focal point of the tower, with a spacious
and comfortable interior ensuring a workspace of optimal
concentration. The exterior of the tower is clad with a transparent
skin with the potential to change color whenever there is a
fluctuation in traffic. The Air Traffic Control Tower will function
as a light beacon to the sky for the international airport, but
also from the road to and from Georgia's new parliamentary city
/Ben van Berkel
It was particularly exciting for me to be able to design an airport which is not only linked to the new seat of parliament in Kutaisi, but which also creates an entrance condition which functions as a port for the international community. The airport presents a symbolic infrastructural gateway to Georgia and, from there, to the rest of the world.
The design for the new airport aims to incorporate local and
international sustainable elements.

BIKING enthusiasts can put their passion to good use this spring by taking part in a charity ride in aid of the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.
On Saturday, May 31, cyclists from Worcestershire are being urged to take part in the event, which is being organised by Diglis based technology company Postcode Anywhere.
The event at Norton Parish Hall will involve a four, 15 or 50 mile bike ride option depending on the riders level of cycling ability.
Natalie Green, PR manager at Postcode Anywhere said: "Midlands Air Ambulance is an essential emergency service and you never know when you might need them.
"Two years ago my father was working on a three storey building roof and suffered a heart attack and basically owes his life to the Midlands Air Ambulance crew who rescued him.
"It would have been impossible for a road ambulance team of paramedics or even the fire brigade to access him, lift him to safety and transport him to hospital."
The idea behind the event is to stage a fun day out that will encourage families and friends to pursue some healthy exercise as well as helping to raise money so even those who can't cycle are invited along to enjoy the day.

Pelger Earns Second Big 12 Player of the Week Award
Pelger Earns Second Big 12 Player of the Week Award
Oct. 1, 2012
MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State middle blocker Kaitlynn Pelger continues to prove she is one of the best players in the Big 12 Conference as she helped lead the Wildcats to a pair of wins last week, including a big road win at Baylor. For her efforts she was named Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week.
Pelger opened the week with 13 kills on 20 swings with only one error to hit .600 against new Big 12 member West Virginia. She also added nine digs to just miss out on her fifth double-double of the season as the Wildcats swept the Mountaineers 25-8, 25-19, 25-17. It marked the first time K-State has ever held a Big 12 opponent under 10 points in the rally scoring era in a set that was not a shortened fifth set to 15 points.
Pelger did get that elusive double-double in Saturday's match as the Wildcats posted their first road win at Baylor since 2008. K-State won the match 3-1 and Pelger took control of the match blasting out 23 kills for a new season-high, surpassing her previous best of 22 in a five set match. The junior added 12 digs from the back row as she remains one of the few middle blockers in the country to play all six rotations, and she hit .321 for the match.
On the week Pelger averaged an impressive 5.14 kills per set while hitting .397. She also contributed 3.00 digs per set. She is one of only two players in the Big 12 to rank in the top 10 in four different statistical categories in overall matches. In conference play she is leading kills per set by nearly half a kill.
This is Pelger's second Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week award this season and fourth overall. She also received Big 12 Rookie of the Week once during her freshman season. She is joined this week by Iowa State's Kristen Hahn as Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week and Tianna Dockery of Kansas was named Rookie of the Week.
The Wildcats and Pelger host two important matches this week as they take on the Iowa State Cyclones at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Ahearn Field House. It will be 80's Night with the first 250 students receiving free period designed T-shirts. It also is Manhattan Community Night and fans from Manhattan can purchase tickets for only $3 by using a promo code online or showing their ID at the ticket window in Ahearn. For promo code information, contact the Fan Experience and Sales Office at 785-532-6650.
Saturday will mark the second Wildcat Weekend of the season as the Wildcats host No. 9 Texas at 7 p.m. Fans can purchase tickets for only $3 when they show their ticket stub from Saturday's football game against Kansas as well. The Longhorns were the preseason favorite to win the Big 12 title this year and have been to the Final Four three of the last four years.

BEDFORD — The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has reopened the path atop the Cross River Dam for walking, running, and bicycling for the first time since 1996. The dirt path, located between Reservoir Road and Mount Holly Road in the Town of Bedford, is roughly one-quarter mile long, and connects other dirt roads comprising 8 to 10 miles of trails that are often used by local residents and visitors for outdoor recreation.
The reopening marks the first time the path will be open since 1996, when it was closed for a rehabilitation project that installed a new fountain, enhanced the spillway, and rehabilitated the reservoir gatehouse. That project was just being completed when the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, happened, forcing the closure of such sites for security reasons. In recent years, several similar sites have been reopened for recreation, including the roadway above Kensico Reservoir.
Signs at each end of the pathway will explain certain guidelines for its use. For example: the path will be open from dawn to dusk, leashed dogs are allowed, but owners are required to clean up after their dogs, horses and motorized vehicles are prohibited, and people using the trail are not permitted to climb or sit on the edges of the dam. Winter maintenance will also be limited.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – The final day of the PBC-SSC Challenge ended in another two-game split for the Saint Leo softball team (2-2) at S. Commons Complex in Columbus, Ga. In the effort, the Lions defeated UNC-Pembroke (1-2) by a score of 2-1, just before they fell to undefeated Armstrong Atlantic (4-0) by a score of 2-0.
The main struggle for the Lions came at the plate, as Saint Leo only totaled seven hits on the day. In comparison, opposing teams registered 13 hits. The Lions tore up the base paths, however, collecting seven stolen bases on the afternoon compared to just one by Armstrong Atlantic.
In the first game of the day, Saint Leo senior Megan Still collected her first win of the season after hurling a complete game shutout against the UNC-Pembroke Braves. Still struck out eight and walked none in her first start of 2013, while allowing only one earned run.
The Braves scored early on in the contest, with their first and only run coming in the first inning after junior Taylor Cloninger scored on a single up the middle from senior Holly Berry. The Lions did not answer back offensively until the bottom of the 6th inning, when they were finally able to string a few hits together thanks to a few of Saint Leo's junior-transfers. The first run came when Chelsey Steedley and Sarah Steiner executed a double steal which caused Braves' catcher Brea Hartley to commit a throwing error, and allowed Steedley to advance home. Two batters later, Kylee Hardesty singled to right field, allowing pinch runner Victoria Obermeier to score the Lions' winning run. The win signaled Saint Leo's first comeback win of the 2013 season.
The Lions' second loss of the year came shortly after their second win, as Saint Leo struggled to put the ball in play against the undefeated Armstrong Atlantic Pirates. After two full innings of scoreless softball, the Pirates' sophomore Alexis Mercer blasted a two-run homer over the centerfield fence to put Armstrong Atlantic ahead. Although both teams collected a few more hits during the game, neither team was able to score beyond the third inning.
Just one day after her first win as a Lion, freshman Alana Tabel collected her first career loss donning the green and gold as the Pirates took home the win. Tabel tallied one strikeout in the effort while allowing five hits, one walk, and two earned runs in 4.1 innings pitched. Sophomore Ashley Ehlers (1.2 innings) and junior Sarah Steiner (1 inning) also took the mound for the Lions in the loss.
The Saint Leo Lions will take the field again on Wednesday, Feb. 6th in their home opener against the visiting Lindenwood Lions from University Softball Stadium. The first pitch of the doubleheader is set for 6:00 p.m.

Data: a resource more valuable than gold?
US-hosted meeting of international group to address data sharing across global and disciplinary boundaries
Is data the new gold? Data is valuable, and if properly shared, it can transform lives, whether the setting is disaster management and prediction, health care or environmental stewardship. But unlike a commodity, data is inexhaustible. Data is the rich and growing renewable resource of the information age. Insights made possible because of the availability of data translate into economic advantage. And like all valuable natural resources, data must be used and managed with care and consideration.
Top leaders from the White House and U.S. science agencies understand the importance of data. From Sept. 16 to 18, 2013, they and their international colleagues will gather for three days in Washington, D.C., for a major meeting of the Research Data Alliance (RDA).
Launched in March of 2013 in Gothenburg, Sweden, with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), European Commission and the Australian government, RDA membership is growing.
Today, more than 850 international researchers and data experts from 51 countries belong to the RDA, which focuses on the development and adoption of common tools, harmonized standards and infrastructure needed for data sharing by researchers, as well as the application of policy and best practice to facilitate data-driven research.
RDA members work across dozens of disciplines to tackle data topics pertaining to global agricultural research and innovation, history and ethnography, human health and a host of other issues.
Monday morning sessions will kick off the important discussion and work to take place over the course of the meeting.
Highlights include:
Visit the Research Data Alliance's webpage to see a full, detailed agenda and participation logistics.
Members of the media and the public are invited to public portions of the meeting. Members of the press who would like to attend, please contact Lisa-Joy Zgorski, 703-292-8311.

"I got these to go with my "earthy leaves" invitation suite. There were only 4 color options listed, so I figured they only came in those colors, so I had just picked black. But when my digital proof came back, they had given me two other options that went with my 'rich red' color scheme. I was not expecting to be offered other color options, and loved the liberty and assumption the designer took in offering me different colors that went with my invites instead of black. Needless to say, I was impressed and very happy with this product and the service and the attention to detail that the designer took."
"I used these labels for greeting cards I printed and put together myself, and the label just literally tied it all together and had a great impact on a simple, plain envelope"
"I liked this one quite a bit but it is very delicate looking. Even more so in person with very faint details. I thought the flowers would be a bit more distinguished instead of the outline of petals but it is still VERY PRETTY. Very subtle, pretty and appropriate for spring/summer! Happy to have these as alternate labels!"
"These were perfect for sealing and return-addressing our invitations! I ordered them in orange and love cheerful palette."
"I used my first name and my fiance's first name on this label rather than our new last name, and it turned out great!! I will order these again when we move with our new address. they are so beautiful and make it so simple to add your address easily to any invitations or thank you's"

I wish I could see the new stuff other folks are creating here - because that is happening despite the downturn in activity (apparently, I dunno, I'm still just a Noob).

Just made a new article or re-wrote one or otherwise contributed in a major way? For fuck's sake, why not share it here as a guilt-free way to show it off. Comments are also more than welcome, but let's keep it positive or at least funny, you assholes. How long can we keep this alive?

Put your shiny new shit at the top of the list (imagine someone taking a dump on top of an existing giant dump) and sign it with the ol' four tildes (~~~~). Sign your comments as well.

- Yeah, most people "lurk" our IRC channel. That means we all leave our clients running for weeks at a time, and check in on the channel only sometimes. So there are times when the channel is totally silent. But if you link something, somebody will read it (eventually). -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 01:05, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

Perhaps I should have left my own articles out of the list, but I thought I could break the ice. I'm happy to just let this die quietly if it's a terrible idea and might give IRC another shot.

Sustainability causes me to think that I should recycle some existing words rather than type new ones, depleting the available word pool. Nonetheless, I have to say kack manou brip lermo troup! Also, coprophagia might be a form of sustainability if it causes the coprophage to die and then be converted into shuffleboard components.

The Mr. Vercetti outfit is an outfit in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City that is acquired by Tommy Vercetti by purchasing The Pole Position Club, which is possible after completing Shakedown. The outfit can be found outside the Collar and Cuffs store in Ocean Beach. The outfit consists of a grey pinstriped suit, pink shirt and grey loafers.
The player can use the Mr. Vercetti outfit to eliminate a one or two star wanted level even if Tommy Vercetti is already wearing the outfit. The outfit is possibly a reference to Miami Vice; it is based on an outfit Ricardo Tubbs (Philip Michael Thomas) is seen wearing. The outfit may also be another reference to the 1983 film Scarface; it is very similar to the outfit Tony Montana wears during the last part of the film, including his last stand.
- The Mr. Vercetti outfit is very similar to the Soiree Suit, with the coloring and sleeves being the only differences between the two; implying the suit is made specifically for the player and thus more expensive.
- Although the Mr. Vercetti outfit has dark grey loafers, they appear white or cream colored in cut scenes. Also, in cutscenes the shirt's color leans slightly more towards red.
- In the beta version of Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, the Leone's Suit was originally a retextured version of the Mr. Vercetti outfit.

When discussing what ails you ibuprofen might come to mind, but certain foods can have even more pain-fighting power than some drugs. We have three of the best food prescriptions for your pain.
Michelle Mehr's heel has hurt for years, but instead of aspirin or another known pain reliever, she should have chosen organic tart cherries. Studies at Michigan State University say they contain anthocyanins and bioflavonoids, which means they may be ten-times stronger than aspirin.
For an aching back try papaya. It contains papain, an enzyme so useful that doctors use it in injections. But skip the supplements and go for the fruit for full advantage of all its antioxidants for inflammation.
For a throbbing head try tahini, a spread made from sesame seeds. It's rich in magnesium which has been shown to alter brain chemicals thought to have a role in headaches and prevent muscle spasms.
Another pain fighting food is pineapple. This fruit contains bromelain, an inflammation-blocking enzyme that could help with knee pain.

This is one of our favorite recipes at our house. It takes a little effort, but it is so worth it! Serve these with spaghetti and red sauce for the classic spaghetti and meatballs or use in place of a conventional meat recipe for swedish meatballs. These make great appetizers and leftovers are perfect for meatball subs. Since we just have two eaters in our house, I usually freeze half of the batch for another meal. Frozen "meat" balls can be thrown in the oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes to reheat.
- 1 3/4 cups Cannellini Beans (cooked or from can)*
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Basil
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 1/2 cups cooked Hulled Millet
- 3/4 cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs (or gluten free Bread Crumbs)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs (or gluten free Bread Crumbs)
Preheat oven to 350°F. In blender or food processor, puree cannellini beans, onion, garlic, basil, and water. Combine with cooked millet (see note), bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and salt. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes.
Lightly spray cookie sheet. Shape mixture into 1" balls and roll in bread crumbs. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, flipping halfway through. Serve with marinara if desired. Makes approximately 30 "meat" balls.
NOTE: To cook millet, bring 2 cups water to boil. Add 1/2 cup Hulled Millet and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 35-40 minutes, or until tender.
*If Cannellini beans are hard to come by, try pinto or navy beans

Ok so maybe I never got around to an elaborate egg dying and decorating project this year. Instead I spent 3 minutes stamping some hard boiled brown eggs I had in the fridge. Now if only I was able to come up with a more clever celebratory phrase.
I still have a few unstamped eggs if you have sarcastic/funny/sweet suggestions for me.
Hoppy Easter!

LOVE the stamping. Went crazy simple this year with some q-tip polka dots. Cheers to keeping it simple. Hoppy Easter, friend.ReplyDelete
I love this. I'm going to sound like a Michael's dropout, but what did you stamp them with? Crafty ones please don't laugh!ReplyDelete

A Cartersville resident was killed in a motorcycle crash Wednesday about 1:20 a.m. on Interstate 75 at mile marker 291.
The motorcycle was traveling southbound on I-75 when it began to slide on its right side. The driver, 29-year-old James Anthony Tanner, was ejected and hit the cable median barrier. Both the driver and motorcycle came to rest in the median.
Stolen vehicle burned
On Tuesday at 7:37 a.m., a Bartow County Sheriff's deputy responded to a vehicle fire in the area of Law and Griffin roads in Cartersville.
Upon arrival, he observed a completely burned SUV on the side of the road. According to the Bartow County Sheriff's Office incident report, the fire department already had extinguished the flames. After obtaining the tag number from an unburned piece of the expiration sticker and checking on GCIC, dispatch advised the vehicle had been reported stolen a few days prior from an address on Griffin Road.
The owner arrived on scene a short time later and requested for the vehicle to be towed to his residence. Since any possible evidence was burned, the vehicle was released back to the owner.
Verbal dispute results in drug-related arrest
A Bartow County Sheriff's deputy was dispatched to Heritage Way in Acworth Monday in response to a verbal dispute.
Upon arrival, he met with complainants that witnessed a white female being kicked out of a vehicle by a white male. The complainants gave a brief description of the female and direction in which she had left and the home to which she entered.
While approaching the residence located on Holly Ann Street, Acworth, a small compact car entered the driveway with one male and female inside. When the vehicle stopped, the male occupant opened the passenger door and started to flee the scene. After telling the suspect to stop, the deputy engaged in a foot pursuit into the neighboring yard through a wooded tree line and caught up to the suspect. According to the BCSO incident report, before the suspect stopped he threw an unknown item into the wooded area behind him.
The deputy arrested the suspect and searched his person and found a small plastic baggie containing 47 round yellow tablets and a small baggie containing suspected methamphetamine. A search of the wooded area behind the suspect resulted in the discovery of a digital scale and a baggie holding a green leafy substance containing suspected marijuana.
Identified as Buck Alan Mucha, the suspect was arrested and transported to the jail without incident. He was charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of a schedule IV narcotic with intent to distribute, pills not in original container, obstruction of officers and possession of marijuana less than 1 ounce.

Arson Wells?Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.

Thousands saw him do it and it was caught on camera, but nobody said anything.
How did Billy get away with it?
AnswerBilly "Firestarter" McCabe was a boxer. He threw his boxing match under a floodlit arena.
Thousands saw him lose, but didn't realise he threw it on purpose. The crowd was hostile, hence the dangerous atmosphere.

Hello, everyone. Glad to be with you again. I'm in for Carp at tonight's game, still 26 years young.
I had been told/warned John Tortorella's pregame chats with the media were brief. Well, safe to say there will be ovations during tonight's "State of the Union" that last longer than this one. Much longer, in fact.
The tape is 50 seconds total. Here it is, in all its glory…
John Tortorella:
Erik (Christensen) is coming back after the conditioning stint. Do you have any plans for (Wojtek Wolski) with an extra guy back?
"No plans. Just worried about tonight's game."
You've said in the past you want to develop a home-ice advantage. Do you feel like you've done that this year more?
"We're just trying to play — trying to play the right way whether it's home or away."
Did Marty (Biron) just call in this morning…?
"He's sick."
When you started 3-3-2 did you see the team doing the things you wanted them to do?
"I can't even remember back then. I can't."

The MS Community Weighs In on the Health Care Debate
What does the multiple sclerosis community think about changes to medical policy? This week in Washington, DC lawmakers began what is sure to be an arduous national debate on the subject of health care reform. Already "both sides" are waging an advertising campaign based upon people's fears and hopes.
I figured that as we go into the long Independence Day holiday weekend, we might afford ourselves to express (and maybe someone making decisions a chance to read) our thoughts on the subject. Few diseases have a more significant lifetime economic impact as multiple sclerosis.
Even with "excellent" coverage, many of us are either cornered into taking one drug or another because of outrageous co-pays or give up many rewarding aspects of our lives so we can afford a particular drug we, along with our health care team, deem best suited to our course of disease.
Few of us would disagree that our health care system (or at least the way for which it is paid) is broken. I'm asking today, how do you think it should be fixed?
For a long time now, I've considered the question and assume that many of you have given at lease cursory thought to it as well. Something tells me that among the thousands who read these pages on a regular basis, we must have a few pearls of wise thought which could steer policy makers.
I'm asking for your ideas…and I'll proffer mine.
If we look at the course of life, the most expensive times (for people of typical health) are the first two decades of life and the last two. While MUCH is flawed with the system we use to cover the latter members of our population, at least we have a system with many merits; which is already in place.
As for the rest of life, we rely on private (for profit in most cases) insurance coverage to pick up a varying portion of our health care costs. These companies' first priority is to their share holders (many of us, through our investments may be share holders and not even know it) and to their bottom line. The power of the market is supposed to drive companies to success or failure, but that only works when we have a free choice in which companies to which we give patronage.
How many of you had a "real" choice in which insurance your employer was offering?
A big driving factor in the cost of insurance is the fact that healthy people pick up part of the cost of sicker ones and single payers (and couples without children) do the same for families. It's just how insurance pools work and, not being an actuary, I'm not even going to try to figure that one out! So, here's my thought.
Why doesn't the Medicare system cover the first 18-21 years of life, much like it does the years after our mid sixties?
First, if insurance pools didn't have to worry about paying for the costs associated with children's healthcare, I can only imagine rates would drop like stones.
Second, proper health care and medical attention early in life is proved to afford better health (and healthier choices) throughout ones entire life. And, early intervention into developing chronic conditions can get/keep young people into the work force to help pay for the next generation. This too should lower the costs of health care in those "prime of life" years.
Savings in "prime of life" health care/insurance could surely be funneled, somehow, into paying for this expansion.
I know, we're the country of the American Dream, so everyone wants to have "the best" and may not want to settle for a Medicare-like system for their children. Well, older and disabled folks have that choice as well with Medicare Supplemental insurance programs which cover much of what the system does not. The same could be made available to families with children.
It would take far more than my few hundred words to get the whole concept into a working plan. I do think, however, that a few well placed words can get the attention of people who make decisions.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on my idea and, more importantly, your ideas on how our "broken system" can be set right. Let's face it; we're the ones in the thick of this thing. Let's try to be part of the solution!
Something tells me, people are watching…
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
