A hunter tells his story
starting our column with a story
relayed to me by friend Scott Haight,
whose Lab retriever Thunder is starting
to become a legend. Dog lovers, whether they are
hunters or not, should appreciate both the work
that these dogs love and do so well, and the obvious
bond between an avid hunter and his dog.
"I went out yesterday afternoon to my favorite
salt marsh. With the first major cold front, complete
with snow and sleet on the way, I figured it would
make for a good afternoon shoot. Unfortunately, I
think the birds are now wired in to the weather
channel as the few birds we had, bugged out as the
front approached.
"Anyway, I got set around 1:30 and began the
process of scanning empty skies. After about an
hour or so I heard wings over me just as another
group 150 yards away began to call. I looked up to
see a duck fly over and head into the marsh. I hit
the bird with a hard comeback call on my Haydel's
Red Leg( man I love that call )and the bird turned
on a dime and came back to glide over me.
"I stood and fired as it flared away with the wind.
Turns out it was a drake Mallard - but unfortunately
I was slow getting up to shoot, and got all tangled
in my coat and the blind, and hit it at max range,
only lightly wounding it. The drake came crashing
down and began to swim like mad up into a creek in
the marsh. I tried a finishing shot but it was too far
and all it did was make that bird go like a rocket.
"I got the dog out and sent him after the bird as
fast as I could. Thunder got across the big creek and
was after it, up the creek mouth it went in, but the
darn thing got up one of those small ditches that is
like a tunnel. For those of you not familiar with East
Coast tidal salt marshes let me explain. In the old
days they hayed the marshes( and even some still
today - they hay the marsh I am referring to still ).
They cut long irrigation ditches into the marsh, like
two to three feet deep and a foot wide, and they are
still there today.
"They provide plenty of escape avenues for
crippled birds too. Many of the ditches have begun
to roof over in sections with tunnel-like channels
still open underneath. It can be a real nightmare
finding these cripp's even with a dog. It takes a real
experienced "marsh dog" to know how to do it.
"That is the situation that confronted Thunder.
He followed the bird to the ditch but it was too
narrow to go up the whole way. So he got on top and
followed the bird until it entered one of the tunnels.
Poor Thunder was running back and forth, up and
down, that ditch trying to find a way at the bird he
knew was there but couldn't get to.
"I finally went over in the boat and got out to
help when it dawned on me he wasn't able to get to
it. When I got there I had to laugh because the roof
of the tunnel had a lot of small holes in it( softball
size )and Thunder would find where the duck was
and try to force himself into that little hole. His rear
end was stuck straight up, tail going 100mph, and I
could hear him whining and grumbling in the tunnel.
"He even tried to dig to the bird a couple times,
whining the whole time. Man was it a riot and I
wish I had my camcorder with me. His face was
solid marsh muck from forcing it into the holes - he
looked like a raccoon.
"I found a good-sized, long stick and began to try
and force the bird back into the open out of his
refuge by poking it into the holes and wiggling it
around. Unfortunately, this particular ditch had a
roofed over section about 40 feet long and the bird
wasn't about to cooperate. Finally, as the tide was
coming and filling the ditch, I could hear the duck
moving in the shallow water.
"By following the noise, and Thunder sticking
his head into the marsh when he heard or smelled the
bird, I knew I was working the duck out by keeping
it from doubling back. I even saw it once through one
of the holes look up at me in surprise and run off
with a quack.
"Finally after about 20 minutes we got the bird out
and and I shot it. What a major retrieve. I have to tell
you I was getting a little upset at that bird myself. I
considered at one point getting an oar from the boat
and digging the darn thing out. We finally got it
"I guess the only sad part of the whole thing was
later back at the launch when another party that
witnessed it said I was nuts for spending 45 minutes
to find a wounded bird. When I told them I would
have spent another 45 minutes to get it, as I knew
right where it was, they laughed at me and walked
off. That is sad."
Haight said.

Wonderful Chalet
We love staying here, lovely property in a lovely area. George and Chez are wonderful hosts too.
Great location - ideal for family with young kids
Despite the poor weather we enjoyed our stay here. Very quiet and private with great views of the surrounding countryside from the living/dinning room.
Very neat, clean, compact and well thought out chalet.
Perfect for escape a bit
The property actually looks better than on the photos, really nice and charming. Everything is nice and clean. The kitchen is well equipped too. Perfect for escape a bit. I think the car is essential to discover the area and for shopping too.
Beautiful place for relaxing
This was a fantastic place to relax and unwind, so peaceful, and lots of wildlife - rabbits and birds to see. The beautiful Town beach is an easy 5 minute walk away. We can highly recommend a stay here.
Kathy and Trevor.
Perfect Location For A Complete Getaway
Lovely location. Warm, comfortable chalet.
Great holiday by the beach
We really enjoyed our stay. The chalet was clean and well equipped with a lovely sun terrace. It's in a great location, really quiet but less than 10 minutes from a great dog friendly beach. Good walking all around too. Thanks.
Rightly designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Roseland offers a magnificent unspoiled landscape of woods, fields and lanes girdled by a shoreline of coves, cliffs and beaches made easily accessible by the famous South West Coastal Path. There are special treasures here like the round houses at Veryan, the ancient King Harry Ferry, and the uniquely beautiful waterside church of St. Just-in-Roseland with its sub-tropical churchyard. The quaint conjoined villages of Portscatho and Gerrans are an easy walk away (along a bridleway or along the SW Coastal Path). A little further afield are the chalk-and-cheese towns of Falmouth and Truro — the bustling Bohemian port and the graceful county capital (bring your own boat and you can sail direct to both!). The National Trust cares not only for the coastal strip but also for some of the area's finest gardens, including Trelissick and Glendurgan; other no less famous local gardens include Trebah and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

We have a tenant who is no longer living in our property and has given notice which ends 24th Dec. We have text her to say that we will be advertising the property for a new tenant and would give her 24hrs notice for any appointments via a letter through property address(she is in a hostel so do not have contact address) and by text to only number we know. We also need to do an EPC report and check the boiler. The lock have been changed by the tenant without our permission and we do not have a copy. where do we stand on gaining access to the property if she does not respond to us. she still has furniture there and personal items which we think she will say we have damamged or stolen if she knows we have been there without her knowing. Also we will have to change the locks to gain access if allowed. I await your response.

New pictures of the Porsche Macan have been released, as the build-up to the car's official unveiling at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show next month gains momentum.
Porsche has created a new microsite to promote the Macan that features teaser images and sketches of the car. Although it shares many design cues with the larger Cayenne, the Macan appears to have a sportier look, with a sharply sloping bonnet and a tapered rear end with narrow tail lights.
No technical details have been released, but the Macan is likely to be available with four- and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. Underneath, it will be based on a platform that will also be used for the next Audi Q5
Prices have yet to be confirmed, but the entry-level Macan is likely to cost about £35,000 when it goes on sale early next year.
The Macan website features a countdown to the model's official reveal date; Porsche says that it will add more information in each week of the build-up.

SW:EAW: Forces of Corruption - Nal Hutta
Star Wars: Empire at War - Nal Hutta
This is a hint / walkthrough for a planet in Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption. The index of all our guides for Empire at War: Forces of Corruption is here.
Corrupt Militia
Kidnapping (Corruption Income +109)
Ignore the tip to scout carefully because Twi'lek Commandos are coming, with Bantha-II Cargo Skiffs not far behind. Like Rebel Infiltrators, the Twi'lek Commandos have a very powerful long-range sniping attack that can take down one infantry individual per shot, and can overwhelm Urai Fen if you are not careful.
Instead, quickly arrange your forces with the All Terrain Attack Pods in front to draw fire and shield your units. Rush the enemy so you can bring the Grenadiers in close to quickly overwhelm the enemy.
Behind these, keep Urai Fen and the Defilers.
Use the Defilers and their thermal detonators to destroy any skiffs that flank you, or to take out buildings quickly. Use Urai Fen's Stealth to come up behind a turret and attack it. Theoretically, turrets have a minimum range but I found the Rapid-Fire Turret could still track and attack Urai Fen when he was in melee range.
If you conquer Nal Hutta afterwards, you still count as having performed one Kidnapping (some Corruptions require one or more other Corruptions to have been performed). So you might as well do so and instead get considerably better income by controlling the planet and having a Consortium Palace.
After Mission 15 (Baiting the Hook), the Empire will start attacking your holdings with a fleet until their fleet commitment is destroyed (even if the remainder is one Broadside Cruiser and one Tartan, they will charge a level 5 space station). This is probably a scripted attack, but it is very likely to originate from Kuat and the fleet heads down toward Ryloth.
We secured Nal Hutta with a strong space station, so they never could get past it, but in hindsight it might have been better to leave Nal Hutta space empty so they could instead attack maybe Shola (next along the trade lanes, on which a fleet would presumably travel), where we have Racketeering in place, and can therefore collect salvage credits from each battle.
Space Battle
There is a garrison of V-Wing Starfighters with Ion Cannons, and the asteroid space station sends out more. This can be irritating to deal with unless you are prepared to lose either wings of your own fighters, or maybe a Frigate or two.
Instead, capture the planet with stealth units first, which will destroy the space station. You can then use just one Interceptor IV Frigate and one Tartan Patrol Cruiser to clear the garrison.
There is a sensor pod in the northern nebula, but the map is so small that it is hardly worth going for.
When defending Nal Hutta space, be careful if you win but the satellite build stations in the middle of the map are enemy-controlled: The next time you have to defend your space station, those build stations will typically be under enemy control and have whatever weapons that were on them in the previous conflict. If you have corvettes or other fragile ships as part of the fleet in orbit, they will start close to these satellites and likely you will lose at least one ship before you can pull them all back to safety.
Land Battle
In the early game there is only one building (a Hutt Control Centre). You can land just Tyber Zann and Urai Fen, turn their stealth on, and head over to destroy it. Destroying all the buildings will lift the fog of war, which makes things a lot easier.
When you do this, you can also watch something interesting: Even though this is a Hutt faction world, the native Hutts will attack the Hutt faction. Moreover, the Hutt faction will not fight back (although a Pod Walker might accidentally step on them). The natives can therefore take out turrets and bunkers for you.
You can collect your own bounty on destroying native Hutt structures (although this is buggy and you don't always get the bonus).

U.S. Central Command plans to continue training with Middle Eastern partners despite recently backing out of an exercise.
The command this month passed up participating in Exercise Iron Falcon at the Air Force's Central Command Air Warfare Center because of the ongoing diplomatic crisis targeting Qatar, said Maj. Earl Brown, CentCom spokesman.
The three-week-long multilateral training event was the first such exercise to get the boot from the command's calendar due to political uncertainties in the region.
"Leadership here decided to make it consistent," Brown told Military.com on Wednesday. "If one country is not invited to participate, we're going to pull out, out of respect to those countries."
Related content:

- US Squadron Makes Milk Run to Al Udeid Amid Qatar Dispute
- Leadership Course Preps Middle East Allies for Real-World Battles
Brown added, "We're encouraging to make talks happen ... despite political differences."
In June, nine countries -- most notably Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Yemen and Libya -- cut off diplomatic ties with Qatar over the country's alleged ties to terrorism.
Outside of Doha, Qatar's capital, the Pentagon has roughly 10,000 military personnel at Al Udeid Air Base, many of whom support Air Forces Central Command in Operation Inherent Resolve, the Defense Department's effort to stamp out the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
Brown emphasized that one of the most important elements to making theater security work is participation from all the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
"It's all part of the bigger picture," he said. "Each Gulf partner has their own unique nuances, and how we support those partners, that's how we move on and make it happen. That's what we're trying to get after -- shared security within the Gulf region."
Earlier this month, the Associated Press reported that Exercise Eagle Resolve, a multilevel exercise involving 3,000 forces from Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, was likely in limbo given the Qatar rift.
Eagle Resolve focuses on air defense concepts; border security operations; counterterrorism operations and procedures, according to CentCom's website.
So far, Brown said, it's still on the schedule for March.
"Multilateral exercises are still being planned," he said. "Each training opportunity has its own unique perspective, and we're still going to send our planners and staffs out to coordinate."
Seven larger, multinational exercises are planned for fiscal 2018; up to 10 are planned for fiscal 2019, Brown said.
And smaller leadership-course style events are still on the agenda as well.
For example, the biannual Advanced Tactical Leadership Course, coordinated by the Air Warfare Center at Al Dhafra Air Base, UAE, focuses on air operations -- including missile defense -- with Middle Eastern partners.
The region's seven-week version of the service's "Red Flag" hopes to host more fifth-gen fighter jets each time the exercise is held.
The idea is to "dial up the threat level to make it harder and harder as each day goes by," Air Force Col. Steven Boatright, commander of the Air Warfare Center, told Military.com in December.
"The key takeaway is, [the partners] are doing the fighting ... and they've gotten to this point. They're very capable air forces, and these exercises just make them better," Boatright said.

Unfortunately, at least 2 individual environmentalists who are perceived by many as representing a radical fringe position, were seen to be representing SPB-C at the Calais LNG scoping session last week. According to newspaper articles, they were accorded a less than friendly welcome by those in attendance; a further crumbling of the once co-operative international community that once circled the Bay.
While LNG proponents have been less than charitable in the past, SPB-C needs to broaden its community base if it ever wishes to cast off its image as a bunch of radicals that represent their own best interests not that of the community they purport to represent.
That said, SPB-C has certainly put together an impressive array of documents and submitted them to FERC. While I haven't had the time to review all of them, those that I checked appear to be well constructed and thoughtful expressions of concern relative to the Calais LNG proposal. Check the links below for the full list of submissions.
There's always room for your comments here. So let's hear them.

"Airtel Fair Usage Policy" sets a Limit on Unlimited Plans
Airtel is introducing / has introduced a new policy called the "Fair Usage Policy" that seeks to curb the amount you download using 'unlimited' internet plans. They are saying that people are using too much of the internet and thus they need to reduce their downloads / speeds, rather than upgrade their own infrastructure and equipment.
Eg: If you have an unlimited plan that is, say, 512kbps in speed, after a certain cap they will halve your speed to 256kbps for the rest of the month, while charging you the same amount that they have been charging you till now for 512kbps for the whole month!!! Essentially they are giving you less (up to 45% less) service but for the same price!!! And the cap can be reached in as quick as 5-6 days if you are a heavy user.
You can download the "Fair Usage Policy" PDF file.
If you are against this "Fair Usage Policy" introduced by Airtel then you can join the Airtel Broadband "Fair Usage Policy" Protest Petition. This petition is being managed by the users of the India Broadband Forum which they will be sending to Mr. Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman & Managing Director, Bharti Airtel Ltd. after obtaining a significant number of signatures.
>> Please do read the petition as well as the other information that is on their site, make up your own mind, and sign it if you agree with it. This can make Airtel think more to this problem.

Protonix is a medication that's used in order to help offer short term help for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It's a part of a class of medications called proton-pump inhibitors. GERD is a problem where acid flows backwards from the stomach and this leads to problems of heartburn and in some cases serious damage to the esophagus. The way PPIs work in the system is that they block out the creation of acid made inside the stomach.
Protonix can also be used over longer periods of time in order to help maintain or repair the condition of erosive esophagitis along with other problems where the stomach creates too much acid like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
What are some of the more common side affects you might be at risk at if you use Protonix?
Joint pain
What are some of the more serious side affects you might be at risk of using this treatment?
Blistering or peeling skin
Swelling of the eyes, face, lips, mouth, throat or tongue
Muscle spasms
Uncontrollable shaking of a body part
Difficulty breathing or swallowing
Irregular, fast, or pounding heartbeat
Excessive tiredness
Severe diarrhea
Stomach pain
What are some additional things you can do in order to help using Protonix work better for you?
Even though this medicational treatment is designed to work pretty well as long as it's taken according to a doctor's directions, you don't want to rely solely on this drug. Your digestive system is out of balance, and this is the reason why you might be having problems in the first place. Conditions such as GERD might be just one of problems you can experience.
In order to help make Protonix work better for you, then you need to focus on improving your digestive health. This might seem like it's hard to do, but it doesn't have to be. Here are a few things you can do in order to make this easier:
You can speak to a specialist/dietician about what foods you should be eating to improve digestive health. The reason why going this route works is because the specialist will be able to do proper tests in order to see what foods might be causing you the most problems. They can help to map out a specific plan for you that would be easy to follow with as long as you have the proper discipline.
You can read some books on improving digestive health. The only issue with this is that some of these books tend to be long winded and it becomes easy to lose yourself in the process. Confusion can take over and when this happens you'll lose your desire to keep reading. So the best way to go about this would be to read short articles on the subject instead. This way the information is condensed and quicker to get to the more important points.
You can cut out or minimize some of the foods you know are bad for you. Seeing as how completely cutting out bad foods isn't realistic for most, minimizing intake becomes the better option. Certain foods such as fast foods and junk foods have almost no nutritional value and over the long run cause more problems than what their worth. A drug like Protonix will certainly work better if you aren't consuming too much of these foods.

Humans have been using honey as medicine for thousands of years. Its good for just about everything. It's calming qualities help to soothes coughs and throat irritations, its' curative qualities help to regenerate skin growth for wounds and burns, and its' absorptive qualities kill off bacteria in skin outbreaks and infections. It is a readily available and compact form of complex carbohydrates, ideal for circumstances of malnutrition as well as for athletes. Because it is already broken down by the bees, in the process of making it, honey helps with digestion as well as to stimulate the appetite. It truly can be considered nature's miracle drug.
It is also important to keep in mind how much bees work to generate this stuff. Bees fly over 55,000 miles visiting 2 million flowers to produce 1 pound of honey. That's equivalent to flying around the world 4 times. They of course, do this for themselves.
Upon completing all other roles, within the hive, the honey bee takes on the role of a forager and leaves the hives in pursuit of the life giving nectar produced by nearby flowers. Honey bees will fly up to 6 miles from the hive in order to fill their mouths with this sweet life giving substance. Once they return to the hive, the forager passes the nectar off to a receiving bee by way of a kiss. Through this transaction the flower nectar is mixed with stomach enzymes and begins to breakdown and condense into the final honey state. The receiving bee then makes it's way through the hive before regurgitating the nectar enzyme mix into previously built honey cells where it will further condense. Once that cell is filled by at least 9 foraging trips and the remaining moisture content is reduced below 18% , it is capped off by a thin layer of wax, (yes, produced by bees as well) where it will be stored indefinitely until future use.
They do of course have a reason. All this work provides them with the food and nutrients they need to pass through flowerless winters.
Knowing how much energy Bees put into producing this commodity, its important and even advantageous to keep in mind its value when consuming and applying.

The healthcare landscape is constantly changing, and periodically we want to bring you the latest in healthcare news, with summaries of the most important stories happening now.
At Healthcents, your success is our success. Check out our free white paper, or contact us today for a free consultation to see how we can help you with your managed care contracting.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)-
The CMS recently postponed the release of the latest star rankings for hospitals due to pressure from lobbyists. The rating was due to launch on Friday 4/22, and now plans are to release them in July. The new star rating is meant to simplify hospital care scores, but questions about the methodology caused push back from congressional and industry insiders.
A couple of new programs by the CMS will be launching soon. One ensures Medicaid enrollees and children receive the same level of benefits for mental health or substance abuse treatment as they receive for medical and surgical care. Another program hopes to boost healthcare savings by bundling payments for certain joint replacement surgeries and procedures and basing payments on average regional costs. A recent program by the CMS designed to help people at risk for diabetes was shown to improve participants' health and save on healthcare costs. The program involves weekly training sessions on nutrition, exercise, and healthy living, and participants who attended at least 4 sessions showed a weight reduction of about 5%, lowering their risk for diabetes. One more initiative by the CMS that will be implemented soon is the Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) Program. This program benefits patients and doctors by paying doctors for achieving results and improving care, and allows them to care for their patients the way they think is best.
Affordable Care Act Marketplace
The current state of the ACA Marketplace Exchange is changing, with UnitedHealth announcing plans to pull out of most exchanges after an expected loss of $1 billion, while Cigna plans to expand into more. Health insurer Anthem announced a new provider-insurer alliance with Wisconsin's Aurora Health Care system. Blue Cross Blue Shield is evaluating "all options" on whether it will remain in the Marketplace.
The overall opinion of the transition to ICD-10 seems to be positive, with few to little reports of catastrophic problems. The CMS has several links to assist those who might need it, offering a code lookup tool, and several downloads to assist with coding.
Electronic Health Records
Recent ransomware virus attacks have made headlines across the nation, with 10 hospitals in the MedStar Health System in Washington DC being crippled by an attack, including Georgetown University Hospital. The attack prevented employees from being able to access patient records or email. A month prior, a Los Angeles hospital paid $17k to hackers to regain access to their system. Attacks of this nature are only increasing in frequency, and health systems should be taking steps to prevent them while also developing plans for if an attack does happen.

The turf war between San Jose and Campbell is near an end. The councils in both cities will vote Tuesday night to approve a truce, according to the San Jose Mercury News.
At stake, a 103-acre piece of land known as Cambrian 36. It is an unincorporated part of Santa Clara County.
The 1,000 or so people who live in the area want to be part of Campbell. However, the county says the land is technically a part of San Jose.
The Merc reports the two cities have come up with a 40-year-deal. Campbell will get the land known as Cambrian 36 and San Jose will get $200,000 per year over the next five years to make up for lost tax revenue.
After that, the two sides will meet to renegoitate tax revenues. Meetings will happen every five years over the next 40.
Campbell and San Jose have been fighting over Cambrian 36 for the past six years.

Do you have a "green thumb?" Do plants thrive under your care? Have you ever planted a seed and watched it grow? Many people seem to have a way with plants. They can make a sick looking plant healthy. They can place seeds in soil and produce vibrant plants. They can produce a higher yield in their garden than their neighbors. In short, some people seem to be gifted when it comes to growing healthy plants. Other folks do not have a green thumb. They kill every plant they're given. They don't have a green thumb.
They do something that kills plants or, at a minimum, makes them unhealthy. Maybe it's too much water. Maybe it's too little sunlight. Maybe it's poor soil. For whatever reason, some people have a "green thumb" and some people don't have a "green thumb." But whether you have a "green thumb" or not, it's apparent that seeds don't grow into plants overnight. Short of Jack-in-the-Beanstalk-type-beans, if you plant seeds, it will take a while (days, weeks, months or years) before the seeds grow into mature plants.
You can't rush certain things. It takes many years for a newborn baby to grow into a mature, fully productive human being. … If you want the best tasting coffee, you must grind the beans first. Great coffee can't be rushed. It's not instant. … An amazing Thanksgiving dinner doesn't come on a tray that you microwave. It takes hours to prepare the food, to make the dressing, the pumpkin pie, the mashed potatoes, the turkey, etc. The best food is made from scratch, by hand. It can't be rushed.
If you've ever watched a true craftsman make a product, you know that it takes time. There is a slow and steady process that is used. There is a tried and true method. Cut corners and the final product is impacted. It's not as beautiful. It doesn't taste amazing. It doesn't sound perfect. It doesn't perform perfectly. A world-class product is almost always the result of slow and steady. Try to rush a world-class chef or a master musician or a renowned writer and what do you get? A product, service, dish, or piece of art that is not the best.
Yes, there are times for a being quick. Sometimes there are time constraints. Sometimes there are financial constraints. Sometimes there is a limited window of opportunity. But there is a lot to be said for slow, steady and reliable.
Have you ever been frustrated with an investment you made in a person, organization, or project that didn't seem to have a large return? Has it ever seemed like others were getting results more quickly? I once observed two sister organizations headed by two different leaders. One guy wanted results NOW! He didn't care how the organization delivered them, but he wanted them and he wanted them NOW! At first, things appeared to be going well, at least on the surface. However, the results and return-on-investment were short-lived. People in his organization started demonstrating dysfunctional behavior. They burned out. They started cutting corners when he wasn't looking. They didn't have time to truly go deep. The quality and cost of their products and services took a turn for the worse.
The other leader took a methodical approach. He worked on building the strength of his team. He worked on defining and improving processes. He was slow and steady. Some wondered if he would make it. Negative comparisons were made to the quick leader who immediately started delivering results. In the end, however, slow and steady produced. His organization produced. They produced regularly. Their yield was good. It was reliable. It was sustainable. This leader was promoted. His organization was healthy. There were many winners.
This week's article is much like the story of the tortoise and the hare. The hare was faster, but ultimately lost the race to the slow and steady tortoise. Now I don't want to imply that there's no place for the hare. There is. There's a time to be fast. To respond quickly. But there's also a place for the tortoise. A time to be slow. A time to be steady.
As a leader, don't push so hard for short-term results that you stunt growth or long-term results. If you push too hard, too fast, you can end up with excellent short-term results that aren't sustainable. Nurture individuals and the organization in a manner that encourages foundational excellence. Once the foundational excellence is in place, you will be able to produce over the long-run.
Great cities, works of art, outstanding meals, amazing organizations and extraordinary people weren't created or developed quickly. World-class results are, generally, the product of a LOT of work. A LOT of preparation. A LOT of blood, sweat and tears. And a LOT of time. Don't rush it. Be patient. If you invest wisely in the foundation, the yield will come.
Take a seed, put it in good soil, give it sunshine and water it. Then watch it grow. Watch it yield. Watch it reproduce.
How about you? Would you describe yourself as quick or slow and steady? How do you balance the two approaches? What pitfalls have you experienced with one approach or the other.

INTERVIEWS: David Cobb, (707) 362-0333, david [at] movetoamend.org
SB 254 Initiative Headed to the Ballot -- Move to Amend to join in the campaign launch to pass it
SANTA CLARA COUNTY– San Jose, CA–MOVE TO AMEND of Santa Clara County will host a press conference at noon, Friday, June 10, 2016 in support of the passage of SB 254, permitting a Voter Instruction measure on the November ballot in California to get big corporate money out of politics and end corporate personhood. With the Governor's action to let the bill become law today, voters in California will have the opportunity to vote in November on the corrupting influence both big money and corporate constitutional rights under the U.S. Constitution. The press conference will be held at noon on the steps of the old courthouse in San Jose in St. James Park, located at (address).
The United States Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United v. FEC opened the floodgates to unlimited corporate spending on elections. Move To amend Santa Clara County, seeking a 28th Amendment to the Constitution, will help local residents understand the history behind that decision and how they can work to abolish "Corporate Personhood" and reestablish a government of, by, and for the people.
"Corporate Personhood" commonly refers to court-created precedent that gives corporations constitutional rights intended solely for human beings. "Corporate personhood is not an inconsequential legal technicality. The Supreme Court ruled that a corporation was a 'legal person' with 14th Amendment protections before they granted full personhood to African-Americans, immigrants, natives, or women", states David Cobb, a spokesperson for national Move to Amend.
"We are inspired by historic social movements that recognized the necessity of altering fundamental power relationships," said Cobb. "America has progressed through ordinary people joining together—from the Revolutionaries to Abolitionists, Suffragists, Trade Unionists, and Civil Rights activists through to today. Move to Amend is a long-term effort to make the U.S. Constitution more democratic."
Eitan Fenson, of Move To Amend Santa Clara County, states that "Correcting the Supreme Court is imperative to our democracy. The lack of campaign finance reform and the ending of corporate constitutional rights stand in the way of progress in the United States, from helath care to immigration to labor to environmental reforms."
Over 400,000 people have signed an online petition supporting a constitutional amendment at www.MoveToAmend.org.

Indonesia currency is called Rupiah and always marked with Rp. with notes ranging from 1,000 to 100,000 and coins from 100 to 1,000.
You may want to bring small amount of notes, probably 400-700 dollars in large denominations before departing from your country. Change a relatively small amount of money at the airport on arrival – about $100 would be okay.
Otherwise, withdraw some from an ATM machine if you don't mind paying the foreign exchange transaction fee of 3 percent (depends on your bank policy).
If you need make changes safely in a hurry, you may do it in hotels, but the rates are usually unattractive. You will generally get a better rate of exchange at the legitimate moneychangers in main tourist areas (Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Ubud, Sanur or Jimbaran).
If you are staying around Kuta, we recommend making transaction in PT Central Kuta Money Changers – they are legit and have several offices around the area.
On a note, the local currency changers only accept foreign notes in supremely pristine condition. Any tear, jottings, or the slightest blemish in the note may result in their refusal.
Basically, these moneychangers collect foreign exchange from tourists and sell it to Bank Indonesia, the country's central bank, at wholesale rates. If Bank Indonesia rejects a note, they make a loss.
This is also why a $100 note will get a better rate than two $50 notes, because the smaller the denominations, the lower the rate they are willing to exchange back to Rupiah.
NEVER EVER change your notes in a small back-street shop or dodgy-looking moneychanger where they offer seemingly better rates. Be aware that when things seem too good to be true, the scammers are working to do their dirty tricks behind you. If you are walking in the street and strangers come up to you offering to change money, just politely walk away.
We've noticed so many reports about shady changers offering rates above the norm and the tourists ended up receiving less after getting distracted by two or three persons in a plot to draw their attention away from the cashier doing the money count tricks.
Pro Tip: Change your notes at midday to get the best rates. This is because at about midday, the spreads become narrow and you will get the best rates as Bank Indonesia is still open for trading.
Pro Tip: To check today's Rupiah rate, simply search "USDIDR" (change 'USD' to your currency code if necessary) on Yahoo! Finance search bar.

The network must provide doctors with ready access to patient histories and diagnostic information while meeting HIPAA compliance requirements. Many healthcare facilities also need to extend their voice and data platforms across campus environments and to multiple remote locations.
However, the primary focus of healthcare organizations is the delivery of high-quality patient care — not IT implementation and support challenges. Sigma has experience and expertise spanning all aspects of the IT infrastructure, helping to maximize the success of healthcare technology initiatives.
Sigma helps healthcare facilities update legacy systems and consolidate and simplify their infrastructures. They can help enhance efficiency through effective communications and wireless data access, and implement robust security measures that ensure the confidentiality of patient information.

The most serious spinal cord injuries include quadriplegia, which can involve a complete loss of movement and sensation in all four limbs and paraplegia, which can cause a complete loss of movement and sensation in the lower extremities. But not all spinal cord injuries cause a complete loss of function or loss of sensation. These spinal cord injuries are called incomplete injuries.
Incomplete spinal cord injuries may be so mild that the injury victim has almost no muscle weakness or signs he or she has a spinal cord injury. In severe cases, an incomplete injury can be so severe that it seems like the victim have a complete spinal cord injury. Most cases fall somewhere in between, according to Craig Hospital, a nationally recognized brain and spinal cord injury treatment center.
The American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) uses a neurological classification of spinal cord injuries that includes a scale of impairment. There are five categories, A through E. A is a complete spinal cord injury. E is normal function. B-D are types of incomplete spinal cord injuries.
According to Craig Hospital, people with incomplete spinal cord injuries may have a better chance of recovering some function, at least early in the recovery period. A study of all new spinal cord injuries in the state in which the hospital is located found that one in seven people who were paralyzed immediately after an injury recovered a significant amount of movement. However, three of four of those who still had some movement in their legs immediately after injury made a significant recovery.
Even a spinal cord injury victim makes a good recovery, his or her life is likely to be significantly changed by the event. If the injury comes from another person's negligence or wrongdoing, an experienced Los Angeles personal injury attorney can pursue damages to cover medical costs, pain and suffering and other damages.

Recently, my wife and I were discussing where to send our son to school, closer to where we live or closer to where he goes to pre-school now at my wife's church. At some point the conversation shifted to a discussion of our son's personality and social skills. When he's in his comfort zone, he's gregarious, outgoing, and sociable. At his Summer camp, though, out of his element, he's more of a loner.
My wife reflected on her own experience in school. She remembered the in-crowd seemed to have some kind of bond or a secret language and it was hard to break in. Then it hit her, their parents all knew each other. These kids knew each other outside of school. The solution? I would have to step up and initiate social contacts to help smooth the path for our son when he started school. Not the most attractive of tasks. As a general rule, if I can avoid small talk, I will.

How Cancer Registries Work
Cancer registries provide the data-driven foundation for cancer control efforts in the United States. Find out what they are, how they work, and who can use the data they provide in this video.
Have you ever wondered, "How do we know what causes cancer?" or "Who is most likely to get cancer and why?" Cancer registries help answer these important questions.
What Is a Cancer Registry?
A cancer registry collects detailed information about cancer patients and the treatments they receive, and stores it in a computer. They can then search this information to answer questions like—
- Are more or fewer people getting colon cancer this year compared to last year?
- Is there a certain area of the state where women are finding out they have breast cancer at a late stage, when it's harder to treat?
- What groups of people are most likely to get skin cancer?
The cancer registry shares the answers to these questions with other groups like the state comprehensive cancer control coalition, which try to find out what can be done. They may find that some people aren't getting the cancer screening tests they need, or they're making choices that make them more likely to get cancer, or something in their home or workplace is causing cancer. The groups try to fix the problem, and the cancer registry gives them new information so they know if their solution works.
Examples of Cancer Registries in Action
North Dakota: Is a Cancer Cluster Real?
In 2013, a concerned citizen in a small town in rural North Dakota asked the North Dakota Cancer Registry why so many people seemed to be getting cancer there. Scientists used their knowledge of diseases, the environment, lifestyle factors, and statistics to investigate this possible cancer cluster (a higher than expected number of cancer cases among a group of people or in a geographic area). The registry was able to ease the county's concerns. After review, there was no link between this rural community and the cancer.
Louisiana: Finding Benign and Borderline Brain Tumors
Many small hospitals lack the resources to look for benign (non-cancerous) and borderline brain tumors on radiology reports. In 2011, the Louisiana Tumor Registry began working with the state Department of Health and Hospitals to make sure they received all of the information they needed about brain tumors. That year, the registry found 161 brain tumors that had been missed. They continue to check the data every year.
Georgia: Obesity-Related Cancers Are On the Rise
Being overweight can raise your chance of getting cancers of the breast, colon, endometrium, esophagus, gallbladder, and kidney. In recent years, the Georgia Comprehensive Cancer Registry found that the rates of obesity-related cancers are increasing in Georgia. Based on this finding, three offices in the Georgia Department of Public Health added nutrition, physical activity, and cancer prevention and control goals to their five-year strategic plans.
How Cancer Registries Work
To explain how registries work, we'll use a simple example.
Jennifer, a 55-year-old secretary, gets a routine mammogram, which shows she has a tumor about the size of a large pea in her left breast. Jennifer gets an operation at a hospital to remove the tumor, and afterward she gets chemotherapy treatments to make sure the cancer is all gone.
Before the operation, Jennifer gave the hospital some information about herself, including her name, address, age, race and ethnicity, and health insurance company. Jennifer's doctors wrote down information about the tumor, like where it was located and how big it was, and what they did to treat it.
The hospital has its own cancer registry. A specially trained person called a cancer registrar looks at Jennifer's medical record and puts the information about her, her cancer, and her treatment into a computer using special codes. The cancer registrar also makes sure no important information is missing; if it is, he or she asks Jennifer's doctors or other hospital staff for the information. Once a year, the hospital registry sends this information to the central cancer registry in its state.
The state central cancer registry does its best to get information about every cancer case in the state. It reviews the information to make sure it's right and that no information is missing. Once a year, most state central cancer registries send information to CDC's National Program of Cancer Registries (NPCR), and some state and city cancer registries send information to the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program. The central cancer registries don't send any information that could identify a specific patient, like his or her name, street address, or Social Security number. The NPCR and SEER check the information again, and then the information is published every year in the United States Cancer Statistics.
How USCS Data Are Used
Scientists all over the world use USCS data in studies about cancer. Here are some examples of research by CDC scientists that used USCS data—
- Gallbladder Cancer Incidence and Death Rates: Little information was available about gallbladder cancer rates in the United States, so CDC researchers figured gallbladder cancer rates by sex, racial and ethnic group, age group, U.S. Census region, state, county-level poverty, and percent of county population not born in the United States.
- Cervical Cancer Rates Among Young Women in the United States: This study used NPCR and SEER data to describe cervical cancer rates among women younger than 40 years old.
- Cancer Incidence in American Indians and Alaska Natives: These reports found that American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely than non-Hispanic white people to get cancers of the kidney, stomach, cervix uteri, liver, and gallbladder, and less likely to get other kinds of cancer.

More people than ever are getting plastic surgery done. It is a quickly growing industry that expert predictions say will only continue to multiply over the next few decades. In the past, it was primarily those of influence or great wealth who opted to have plastic surgery done, whereas now the largest group of patients consist of young moms. Why the sudden shift? It all boils down to three simple ways the plastic surgery industry is changing for the better.
Less Expensive
When plastic surgery first became the "it" thing for Hollywood starlets in the past, it consisted of operations and procedures which were incredibly expensive. Over time, the price has slowly but gradually decreased so that it is now affordable for the average person with a reasonable amount of time saving.
Also contributing to new affordability is the ability to finance options through programs like Care Credit, and private options offered through some surgeons. These options allow the average person to pay for the procedure of their choice slowly over time, versus having to come up with one considerable sum. For many patients, this is a much more realistic method of paying. They may have the funds necessary each month, but perhaps they have a hard time saving up the entire cost.
Less Stigma
In the past, plastic surgery was viewed as something to be hidden. People were not open about the procedures because it was deemed 'unnatural.' People viewed it as something akin to cheating on the challenging work necessary to stay looking your very best. But thanks to many people coming out about their own plastic surgery procedures (like Joan Rivers, Dolly Parton, etc.) the concept has become less stigmatized.
People now understand that in some cases, it is necessary to use both plastic surgery and hard work to achieve difficult fitness or beauty goals. Sometimes exercising, dieting, and over-the-counter beauty products simply aren't enough. Most importantly, many people now realize plastic surgery is nothing to be ashamed of… which brings us to our last point.
More Awareness
Another crucial factor in the changing industry is the growth of public awareness on what it actually does. For example, many individuals did not know until recently that a substantial portion of plastic surgery is done for medical purposes, such as birth defects or scarring from accidents. Plastic surgery gives breast cancer patients the ability to 'feel like a woman again.' It can also be used by people who have lost considerable amounts of weight to help fix the folds of skin left afterwards.
Now people are realizing plastic surgery is not simply to make people look better, but is more about making people feel better. Young moms who have finished having their children are given the opportunity to reduce a little of the wear and tear they put on their bodies by giving birth. They can get back a little of that confidence they felt before their children.

A few years back, an unknown chef, at restaurant Noma in Copenhagen, created a strange series of tableaux on his dining room tables, using tree bark, pine needles, lichens and other things normally grazed by reindeer. And so it was that in 2010 the Nordic forager René Redzepi (sounding much like an acid rock band) displaced the Spanish chemistry wizard Ferran Adria (for whom he once worked) as the world's numero uno chef.
Since last year, molecular gastronomy hasn't exactly evaporated, but now you might get trampled by dozens of upscale chefs who are rushing to harvest dinner from the underbrush and under rocks – or assembling dishes that looked like they might be untamed gardens. Although many chefs preceded Redzepi, dozens of acolytes are now making pilgrimages to Copenhagen for a chance to stage at his stoves.
In the US, "wildcrafting" is largely, but not entirely, a West Coast trend. Forerunner to Redzepi, Jeremy Fox created a global stir with beautifully composed plates at Ubuntu, in Napa, years ago, and Daniel Patterson at Coi in Los Angeles and David Kinch at Manresa in Los Gatos are masters of the style. You'll find similar efforts at the restaurant McCrady's in Charleston where chef Sean Brock lists farmers and foragers on his menu; at Toqué in Montreal, where chef Normand Laprise's website lists his kitchen staff as "artists" and its suppliers as "artisans"; and at Castagna in Portland, Ore., where chef Matt Lightner, who's been rooting around woodlands for years, produces still-lifes-with-leaves and calls them dinner.
Perhaps the most "florid" exemplar is Dominique Crenn at Atelier Crenn in San Francisco (her restaurant is subtitled "Poetic Culinaria"), whose vegetable presentations look like bonsai gardens and who claims she is reliving her childhood food memories and fantasies.
These chefs' horticultural foodscapes appear to have been assembled with tweezers and dental instruments. Their foraged dishes might contain upwards of 20 plants and herbs, and they're sent to your table on slabs of slate, miniature rock slides, primordial wood shapes and thrown glass instead of plates. They come with lyrical names such as Ocean Creatures and Weeds, A Walk in the Garden, Into the Vegetable Garden, Summer Bids Adieu, or Le Jardin d'Hiver.
In truth, if you substituted gems for the food, these presentations would look perfectly at home Tiffany's display windows. Caravaggio might have painted them.
You'll be eating roots, stems and petals of plants that used to be discarded or that you might step over on the sidewalk. One chef famously quipped, "Not the sidewalk. We'd never use stuff from there!" Which makes one wonder whether this chef has any idea what bears do in the woods.
As this trend of "food as naturalistic art" takes hold in upscale restaurants around the country, you'll find lots of new ingredients slipping onto upscale menus: White acorns; tips of fir needles; "dirt" made of dried and crumbled mushrooms, pumpernickel breadcrumbs, black olives, bulgur wheat, or sprouting grains; aloe vera, eucalyptus leaves, chickweed, wild ginger, wood sorrel, yarrow, pineapple weed, and sumac. Dirt is so hot that Crenn cooks her potatoes in the stuff before washing them clean. You'll find a similar plating style at just-opened modernist Korean eatery Jung Sik Dang in New York, where you'll need to bring lots of money. Next up: Dessert assemblages growing out of chocolate "humus" (as in dirt, not as in chick peas).
All of this comes at a price, of course, which is why you'll only find these goings-on at fancy restaurants. Some restaurants actually have foragers on their payrolls, and others need to hire artistically talented cooks to plate dishes so that each leaf, each carrot stalk, each nasturtium flower, each pod of immature sweet peas, is placed just so – a serious challenge when tonight's wild harvest contains a surprise crop of newcomers. You won't be stumbling across such food at your local Olive Garden.
But is it food? Is it art? Or is it merely extravagantly imitative horticulture? Some critics have complained that taste is taking a back seat to artifice, but they said the same thing about earlier shenanigans of molecular gastronomy without recognizing how new laboratory trickery might be transformative in the kitchen.
In this case, I think we're witnessing a reaction to cooking-with-chemistry with a romantic return to naturalism, or, to coin a word, "gastro-naturism." It is a way for high-flying chefs to differentiate themselves from the rest of the herd and it is guaranteed to get a thousand bloggers and their cameras into these restaurants.

US President Donald Trump will sign a presidential memorandum on Thursday to potentially slap tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese imports over forced transfer of intellectual property, a senior White House official said.
Trump will sign the memorandum at 12.30 pm EDT (1630 GMT) at the White House. The directive will open a consultation period by the US Trade Representative's office to look at a list of Chinese products that could be targeted, Everett Eissenstat, deputy director of the National Economic Council, told reporters.
In addition, Trump will also direct the US Treasury to propose measures that could restrict Chinese investments in the United States, Eissenstat said.
The tariffs and investment restrictions will be imposed under the US Trade Representative's "Section 301" investigation into alleged misappropriation of US intellectual property by China.

Remember, PMI Group is also a Mortgage electronic Registration System, INC. "MERS" shareholder! Hmmm…
Business Week-
PMI Group Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection after the mortgage insurer lost a court bid to undo the takeover of its main unit by Arizona regulators.
The Walnut Creek, California-based company listed assets of $225 million and debt of $736 million as of Aug. 4 in a Chapter 11 petition filed today in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware.
Arizona Director of Insurance Christina Urias took control of the PMI unit last month on an interim basis and directed claims to be paid at 50 cents on the dollar after losses on mortgage defaults drained capital."
The ADI Director's action in seeking receivership of MIC, among other things, has led the debtor to seek bankruptcy protection in order to maximize value for its estate and creditors," L. Stephen Smith, PMI's chief executive officer, said in court papers.

I'll admit. I'm kind of obsessed with Riverdale, The CW's neo-noir crime drama starring K.J. Apa, Lili Reinhart, Cole Sprouse and Camila Mendes. If the name and characters seem familiar to you, but you just can't place them, that's because the show's a dark adaptation of the Archie comic books.
Yes, those comic books and yes, I mean dark.
If you remember Archie, Jughead, Veronica and Betty as thin teen stereotypes concerned only with who to take to the homecoming dance, your illusions are about to be shattered. Take that all-America trope and shove it through the lens of David Lynch; or think about movies like Heathers or River's Edge; and you'll be in Riverdale's neighborhood.
By any standard, it's a pretty remarkable transformation.
Honestly, I was never a fan of the Archie comics, finding them a little too white bread for my tastes. Granted, Archie was created just prior to World War II when wholesome, nostalgic depictions of young adults were in vogue. Mickey Rooney, Julie Garland, Shirley Temple and Jackie Cooper dominated the box office and Archie was a deliberate attempt to replicate their success by offering a serialized character who was "normal" (i.e. didn't have super powers). The downside of normalcy was storylines that strayed into the mundane. Major themes included the female characters (Betty and Veronica) vying for Archie's attention, rivalries with other students, homework problems and difficulties relating to parents. All of these things are common challenges for adolescents regardless of the era, but Archie was inclined to present them in a highly sanitized, and increasingly unrealistic, manner.
By the 1960s, this trend reached its zenith. Archie had become a superhero called Captain Pureheart (yes, really) whose main power was being a really swell guy. By the following decade, he'd been coopted by conservative Christians and spent much of his time espousing the virtues of Jesus Christ and encouraging prayer in schools.
None of these later comics, nor the related animated shows, were particularly successful. Many didn't last more than one edition (or season), and it was clear Archie needed to be modernized if he was going to appeal to increasingly sophisticated, worldly young adults.
And the competition was fierce.
By the start of the twenty-first century, comic books had become something very different from what they'd been in decades past. Zombies chewed their way through humanity in the stark, black and white artwork of The Walking Dead (2003). Japanese manga was on the rise, exposing American readers to unapologetically adult themes including frank depictions of sexuality. Even mainstream publishers like Marvel Comics were shifting long establish paradigms, with one of the best examples being 2006's Civil War. Yet despite these industrywide changes, the Archie brand was slow to adapt.
In fact, the Archie comics really didn't push boundaries until the century's second decade. One of the most notable changes was in the art. The cartoony feel used since the 1940s was replaced by something more stylized and storylines became more inclusive. Real-life themes such as gun control, divorce and death were introduced. By 2010, an openly gay character named Kevin Keller was established and the following year made history as the first male LGBT character to have a solo comic book storyline. In 2012, the comics even went so far as to kill off Archie when he takes a bullet intended for Kevin.
But as you know, nothing that dies in comic books can stay dead forever. (Just ask Superman.)
By 2014, Archie was relaunched and rebranded to appeal to millennials under the New Riverdale banner. With writer Mark Waid (Daredevil) and artist Fiona Staples (Saga) leading the way, the concept was to keep Riverdale as a "whitebread community" on the surface, but give it a seamier underbelly. Ultimately, this transformation fed into The CW television series which began with the revelation that underage Archie's having an affair with the high school's music teacher, which has caused a schism between he and long-time friend Jughead Jones and possibly caused him to witness the murder of a classmate named Jason Blossom.
How's that for shifting a paradigm?
With the season two trailer dropping yesterday (see below), now's a good time for you to check out the series if you haven't done so already. The show can be streamed on The CW website, Netflix, YouTube and a variety of other places.
Enjoy the ride.

Product Description
MV Custom YELLOW Hummingbird Hand Engraved Pickguard is made with the highest quality pickguard material. Designed to match exactly the original vintage layout of the vintage red-style Hummingbird pickguards of the 60′s. Nowdays all the mass production pickguards are printed on plastic and the design is fading with the use. This engraved Pickguard ensure twenty-five years of use without worries of loosing the atractive appereance of this unique vintage design.
The material pattern is swirled throughout the gloss-surface material, not printed on a layer like many other pickguards, producing a unique impressive dark traditional color depth. Made of acrylic, with better stiffness and resistance to warping than celluloid when suspended over a guitar.
Yellow and white engraved layout design, vintage red style material.
Note: This is a solid non-laminated material; translucency will vary with the darkness of the instrument body. Because this tortoise is handmade, individual thicknesses may vary slightly 3mm (+-0.1mm). All of our pickguards have a Strong 3M transparent peel off self adhesive (0.05mm) to stick straight on to the guitar.

Kay Few – Manager
Derby Lodge had an existing website that no longer reflected our new accommodation options and the image we wanted portrayed so we engaged Amanda of Kimberley Web Design who worked alongside Management and Staff to create something unique to meet our needs.
The training that Kimberley Web Design provided was detailed and we were given reassurance that we could contact her for help at any time.
We are very happy with the new website and have immediate plans for its appeal and future growth.
Services Provided
Content Management System
Derby Lodge's website is a Content Management System, allowing them to update content on their website, themselves.
Mobile Friendly
Derby Lodge's website is built to be "Mobile Friendly."
WordPress Training
At the sites completion, we train the administrator of the site, in a 1-3 hour, one on one training session.
At the end of the training session, the new site administrator is able to upload images, change text, add pages/posts and manage their site efficiently.
Derby Lodge required their old static site to be converted to a Content Management System.
They wanted to be able to upload images, update pricing, add new content and promote their new Motel.
One of the many advantages to a CMS, is the ability to add further functionality/features at a later time. At the time of creating Derby Lodge website, they were not linked up to a booking system but now links have been created from both the home and accommodation pages.

Win7, XP Reach Crossover Point
At the end of last week, global operating system share as reported by StatCounter for Windows 7 and Windows XP reached the crossover point. What this means is that on or about October 14, market share for the two operating systems coincided–at around 38 percent, as far as I can tell from the StatCounter graph. Now, with Windows 7 on the way up, and Windows XP on its way down, that also means that Windows 7 is the predominant Windows operating system in use today. That's just under two years following its official public debut on October 22, 2009.
With nearly 500 million Windows 7 licenses already out there, Microsoft is projecting total volume to reach 635 million licenses by the end of 2011 (according to a story in DailyTech entitled "Windows 7 Passes Windows XP in Just Two Years to Become Top OS"). According to the same source, the Win7-XP balance stood at 40.21% for Windows 7, and 38.64% for Windows XP, as of October 17, 2011, the date of that story's publication.
It may seem ironic that Windows 7 has achieved ascendancy just as features and functions of its successor, Windows 8, are starting to become known through the Microsoft Building Windows 8 blog. But tht's the way these things go in the whacky and wonderful world of technology. The crossover also presents hard evidence that enterprise migration to Windows 7 may finally be getting up a full head of steam as well.

Diabetes Mellitus is a group of chronic diseases associated with abnormally high levels of sugar in the blood. Glucose (sugar) builds up in the bloodstream as a result of the body's inability to produce insulin (which regulates blood/sugar levels) or the inability of insulin in the body to control sugar levels.
Diabetics suffer from many symptoms and complications. These include, but are not limited to; neurological, vascular, kidney and visual problems. Neuropathy is also a very common chronic problem for diabetics.
Diabetes and Alpha Lipoic Acid
For well over 30 years physicians in Germany have been clinically treating Diabetics with ALA. Studies worldwide have shown ALA's ability to normalize glucose uptake and utilization. In one study, ALA was even shown to prevent diabetes in 70% of the animals tested. In another study type II diabetics were given 500mg of ALA daily and in 10 days saw a 30% increase in insulin stimulated glucose disposal.(2)
Nerve damage or neuropathy affects over 50% of diabetics and is one of its most damaging complications. A study published in "Diabetes Care" has shown that supplementing with ALA can partly restore diabetic nerve function after only four months of high-dose oral treatment.(1)
