A guide of what to do in Dubrovnik, this stunning city is one of my favorite travel destinations.
Dubrovnik is so beautiful that it almost does not feel real. The city is one of Croatia’s most popular tourist destinations, and it has become more popular after becoming a filming location for Game of Thrones. One reason why Dubrovnik is an especially appealing travel destination is that it is more affordable than other European cities. Dubrovnik our favorite stop on our trip to Dubrovnik and Montenegro.
We stayed at the Hilton Imperial, and loved the location. It is just beside the entrance to the Old Town, the walled historic part of the city. Our room was larger than most hotel rooms, and it had a big desk where I could catch up on work. The breakfast was included in the room rate and it was massive. It was something we looked forward to. It had mimosas along with a huge selection of American and European breakfast foods. I always like to find a hotel room with breakfast included, it just makes our mornings much easier.
The concierge at the Hilton was incredibly helpful. He was able to look up the schedule for the cruise ships so that we could pick a time to walk around the walls of the Old Town when it wouldn’t be too busy. Sometimes 6 or more cruise ships dock in Dubrovnik overflowing the old town with tourists. We were lucky. Since we were there at the end of May, it was just before the height of tourist season, and there was only one boat in town while we were there. I hear it gets pretty crowded in the summer months.
Entrance to walk around the walls was about $10, and the tickets are good until the end of the year – so hang onto them. I recommend making sure that you are wearing comfortable shoes, and trying to avoid the mid-day heat. It gets hot up there! We went at around 10am and it took us about 90 minutes to walk around the walls at a very leisurely pace.
One morning we walked all the way around wall, and the next day we walked up Fort Lovrijenac which is across a small bay from the wall. This is included in the wall ticket – my advice is to just keep those tickets with you at all times when you are in Dubrovnik.
The views of Dubrovnik’s Old Town from Fort Lovrijenac are reason enough to go.
We wanted to do something active, so we went for a sunset sea kayaking tour. We spent about 2 hours paddling to a cave and then around Lokrum Island. For the most part, the seas were calm there was just a moment when I thought we might tip over. We were given life jackets so Charles didn’t fear that I would drown (I swim terribly and at one point on our honeymoon he thought I might drown). We were also given dry bags for our cameras, phones, and towels. The guide gave us a brief overview of the history of Dubrovnik and some of the landmarks we passed, but we paddled beside him and discussed food, the war, and everyday life in Croatia.
We talked about food at length, especially our love of Bosnian food (I had just arrived from Bosnia). After listening to us go on and on about Bosnian cheese and sausage, Charles wanted to try it! The guide recommended a restaurant called Taj Mahal and Charles and I loved it – it was our favorite meal in Dubrovnik.
Taj Mahal’s name is a bit confusing since they serve Bosnian food. Apparently, both the restaurant and the Taj Mahal were built by men who wanted to show their wives how much they loved them. We ordered the most amazing savory fritters that came with fresh creamy kajmak cheese, plus a spinach pie, and of course some sausages and beef fingers with pita bread. We stuffed ourselves silly. The meal was only about 60 Euros, including drinks. We highly recommend it. The price was less than other restaurants we tried, and the food was better.
We loved Taj Mahal so much that we went to their second location another night. Charles and I kept on jokingly saying, “Come to Croatia, the Bosnian food is great!”. It might seem silly that we kept eating Bosnian food in Croatia, but it was absolutely delicious and even the Croats think it is some of the best food to try in Dubrovnik. The second time we dined at Taj Mahal we tried some of their house specialties. The sausages and beef fingers are the most typical Bosnian food, but we preferred Taj Mahal’s house specialties – pastry stuffed with beef, vegetables, and cheese, and a dish called the Happy Bosnian which was beef stuffed with vegetables.
Our kayaking guide had told us about Lokrum Island, a cursed island that sits in the harbor just beyond Dubrovik’s Old Town. Ferries run to and from the city and it is only about a 10-minute ride. We spent one morning exploring Lokrum.
Historically the island was home to a monastery, but eventually, it was sold and the monks were told to relocate. The monks were not too happy about that so they cursed the island – apparently, the process involved chanting while walking around the island carrying lit candles upside down. Bad fortune came to all of the people who owned the island after.
Today the Lokrum Island is a nature preserve, and home to a pretty fun Game of Thrones exhibition. Charles was very excited to sit on the throne and have his photo taken. I did it too, even though I have never seen the show.
On our last night in Dubrovnik we went over to Hotel More for drinks. They have a great bar – part of it is inside a cave, and part is beside the water. It was really unique.
We loved that in Dubrovnik we were able to split our time because doing active things like hiking and kayaking, and exploring historical sites. Dubrovnik is small enough to see in 2-3 days, but it is so gorgeous that you will want to stay longer.

A brand new resource for parents combines the developmental stages of infants and young children and their relationship with food and feeding. This influence starts as early as in the womb.
The resource has been launched by an independent group of leading experts in infant and child nutrition and development, the Infant & Toddler Forum (ITF). This is a practical guide to help parents and carers recognise and understand how growing infants and young children develop skills related to food and feeding - including taste, texture and food preferences – and how these impacts on the types of foods they are willing to eat both now and in future life.
The guidance also provides tips on responsive feeding - how to recognise an infant or toddlers’ cues that indicate when they are hungry and when they have had enough to eat or drink. Allowing an infant or toddler to respond to natural feelings of fullness and regulating appetite may help to prevent obesity in later life.
This guide builds on the resource released last year for healthcare professionals, and is evidence based. The information is split into five easy to follow age group sections, giving in-depth and illustrated advice on feeding babies and young children.
The guidance is supported by other useful resources for parents, including Portion Sizes and Ten Steps for Healthy Toddlers, as well as information on common problems such food refusal and allergies.
The Developmental Stages in Infant and Toddler Feeding resource is available now.

Nashville Predators forward Austin Watson was reinstated to the team Monday following his second suspension of the season.
Nashville Predators forward Austin Watson was reinstated to the team Monday.
The NHL had suspended Watson indefinitely on Jan. 29 for what the league and the players' association called an alcohol-related relapse, following his previous suspension after he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor domestic assault against his girlfriend last summer.
Watson's reinstatement was effective immediately, and he's set to rejoin the Predators for Tuesday's morning skate, although it wasn't immediately clear when he might appear in games.
Here's how social media reacted to the news.
Seeing the Austin Watson news just made my entire day. I needed that. I’m just excited to hopefully see him hit the ice soon, and get our warmup tradition back.
SO glad him and his family are doing well, and I hope they continue to do so.
Austin Watson...i don’t even know.
Austin Watson shouldn't play another game as a Pred. I've held this stance since his original incident & I'll continue to hold it now. If you disagree, fine, but you won't change my mind, so don't even try.
❤❤❤❤💛💙💛💙 proud of the progress he’s made and I hope and pray he continues with it.
As a Preds fan I don’t care if he skates for us again. I just want him to get his life together. Hockey is just not that important.

The frost has been nipping noses this season, probably the coldest in many years. We've shuddered at the news of temperatures dropping from -30 to -50 in some areas; that's a deathly chill lingering over the Midwest US. This reminds us to put our Climate Change strategies back on track, and to keep ourselves bundled with layers of nice, warm clothes because otherwise, we're doing it wrong.
Conquering climate change is no easy feat, but we could prevent the frosty atmosphere from seeping into our head down to our toes with smart layering. Smart, because you don't just slip into the first thing you grab from your closet; you want to be on style just as warmed up. If you're wondering which key pieces are going to save you from a bad winter wardrobe, we've jotted down your best layering options that will save you from this dull draft.
Sweaters + dresses. Remember that ugly jumper Aunt Tina bought you last holiday season? Well, it's not that ugly; winter is the best time to wear knits, and you can easily hide the bad print over a nice frock. The best way to go is pairing neutrals over patterns. Lightweight knits are best worn under a sleeveless wool dress. For heavier, l or fur sweaters, slip them over your favourite patterned dress and feel like you are being hugged all day long.
Jackets + coats. This legitimate masculine style works perfectly in this sombre winter season. Not only does it keep your formal look intact, but you also add a bit of a killer line charm by pairing these two pieces together. Go for wearable jacket colours: deep black, grey and tan. The trick is not to mess up with the cuff; make sure the jacket's armhole is enough to fit your coat and still provide movement for your arms.
Skirts + trousers. This 90's style makes a comeback during the coldest time of the year to keep your legs warm and comfy. The trick to look less of a fashion victim is to wear find a skirt with the right length to pair with your pants. Longer skirts give off that supreme boho look, while shorter ones (make sure they're not pencil-cut and tight) present a more playful approach. Don't be scared to style your regular fitted denims with a wrap skirt and see how it comes out.
Mix & match different patterns. Winter is the best time to experiment new complementing styles, and you may be surprised to discover what you can put together! How to layer patterns? Consider the base colour of each piece and see whether the other item harmonizes with it. Match florals with ginghams, animal prints with denims, polka-dots with ornate damask and plaid. Our tip: Put together big prints on smaller prints for a more cohesive look.
Dare with colours. Outside is already bland and white, so why should your wardrobe be, too? Ditch that white leather jacket for a spring look; now is the time to go all out with your favourite hues, and you can take them from the entire spectrum of the rainbow. When going out, make sure at least one hue in your wardrobe stands out; it could be your skirt, your sweater, or your shoes. Liven up winter with the vibrant tones of fiery reds, aqua blues, coral, bright orange and metallics.

As the author of SACAJAWEA: Her True Story, I'm pleased with the reaction to the book but even more thrilled over the interest in Sacajawea, even from overseas. Although my e-mail is on only one website (it's rwhaney@yahoo.com), I'm surprised about how many comments and questions I've received, including three from the United Kingdom this week. I try to personally respond to all the e-mails but I've also decided to use this forum to answer the best questions I receive, such as this one from Jeffrey Dawson, Wales: "An American friend told me about your book and I have ordered but not received it yet from Amazon.co.uk/United Kingdom. She also has sent me five of the Year 2000 Sacajawea Golden Dollar Coins, knowing my interest in the 1805-06 Lewis and Clark Expedition that ended merry-ole England's claims to the region stretching from the Mississippi to the Pacific. I surf the internet for Sacajawea stuff and read more about your book and learned that the little Indian girl is vastly widening the gap as easily the most memorialized female in American history. WOW! I have a question. As Sacajawea led the mission from the Missouri to the Pacific and back, were there any deaths among the members of the expedition on the arduous journey?"
ANSWER: There were many close calls but only one member of the expedition died during the journey. That was Sergeant Charles Floyd. He died on August 20th, 1804, near present day Sioux City, Iowa. It is believed his death was due to a burst appendix.
Carol Meminger; St. Paul, Minnesota: "I enjoyed your book and notice you spell your icon 'Sacajawea' but from time to time I see it spelled 'Sacagawea' or 'Sacakawea' or even 'Sakakawea' just as often. Can you explain this to me?"

Rent a Dumpster in Post Falls Now!
Simply give us a call and we will answer any questions you may have about the Post Falls dumpster rental procedure, allowed materials, size you may need, etc.
Our roll off containers can usually be delivered in Post Falls the day after you place your order. Make sure to call us early to ensure timely delivery.
Most dumpster rental firms in Post Falls have straightforward policies that will help you understand just how much it costs to rent equipment. Following this advice can help you avoid hidden fees when renting a dumpster in Post Falls.
A lot of firms will charge you extra for keeping the dumpster longer than concurred. Make sure you plan ahead so you can keep the dumpster for an appropriate timeframe. You also ought to ask about additional fees so you'll understand how much extra days cost.
Dumpster rental firms usually have set costs, but the fine art of negotiation is always in play. In case you want to dicker on the purchase price, call around to other businesses first so you understand what the going rental rate is. When you're speaking to the company you need to use, simply mention other costs that are better than theirs. Some businesses WOn't only match that lower cost, they will actually surpass it to please their customers.
You may also ask about discounts when you're renting a dumpster in Post Falls. Some businesses will provide special discounts to active members of the military, veterans, seniors, members of the neighborhood Chamber of Commerce and more. It really never hurts to ask; you can occasionally save up to 10 percent or more with this procedure.
You can even save on the cost by asking about the best way to prevent extra expenses (such as tipping fees or overage costs) and ensuring you order the right size container; you don't want to pay for more container than you actually desire.
Most residential areas permit roll-off dumpsters. For those who own a drive, then you can usually park the dumpster there so you do not annoy your neighbors or cause traffic problems by putting it upon the road.
Some projects, however, will necessitate placing the dumpster on the road. If it applies to you, then you should speak to your city to learn whether you need to get any permits before renting the dumpster. Generally, cities allow you to keep a dumpster on a residential road for a short period of time. Should you think you will need to be sure that it stays on the road for a number of weeks or months, however, you may need to get a license.
Renting a 40 yard dumpster can get you a container that holds about 40 cubic yards of waste. Dumpster sizes and dimensions are not absolutely normal from company to company, but common measurements for a 40 yard container are 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high. This is the largest size that a lot of dumpster businesses commonly rent, so it is perfect for big residential projects as well as for commercial and industrial use.
The smallest size roll off dumpster typically accessible is 10 yards. This container will hold about 10 cubic yards of waste and debris, which is approximately equal to 3 to 5 pickup truck loads of waste. This dumpster is an excellent choice for small projects, like small home cleanouts.
Other examples of projects that a 10 yard container would function nicely for contain: A garage, shed or attic cleanout A 250 square foot deck removal 2,000 to 2,500 square feet of single layer roofing shingles A little kitchen or bathroom remodeling project Concrete or soil removal Getting rid of waste Bear in mind that weight limitations for the containers are enforced, so exceeding the weight limit will incur additional charges. The standard weight limitation for a 10 yard bin is 1 to 3 tons (2,000 to 6,000 pounds).
A 10 yard bin will allow you to take good care of small projects round the house. If you have a larger project coming up, take a peek at some larger containers too.
What if I want my dumpster in Post Falls picked up early?
When you make arrangements to rent a dumpster in Post Falls, part of your rental agreement contains a specified length of time you're permitted to use the container. You generally base this time on the length of time you think your project might take. The bigger the project, the more time you'll need the dumpster. Most dumpster rental companies in Post Falls give you a rate for a certain number of days. If you exceed that quantity of days, you'll pay an additional fee per day. If the project goes more rapidly than expected, perhaps you are finished with the dumpster earlier than you anticipated.
If that is true, give the dumpster company a call and they'll probably come pick your container up early; this will permit them to rent it to someone else more immediately. You usually WOn't get a discount on your rate if you ask for early pick-up. Your rental fee includes 7 days (or no matter your term is), whether you use them all or not.
Most folks don't desire to rent dumpsters unless they absolutely have to. Sometimes, though, it becomes apparent that you just have to rent a dumpster in Post Falls for commercial and residential projects.
Most cities WOn't haul away building debris for you. It's your responsibility to make sure you have an appropriate container to collect lost stuff from remodeling projects. Even in the event that you just have a small project, municipal waste management is not likely to haul the debris away.
A major clean out can collect more garbage when compared to a standard receptacle can carry. Renting a modest dumpster is a more convenient option that will prevent making multiple trips to the neighborhood dump.
When you have one of these projects in your mind, then you understand it's time to look for a reliable dumpster rental service in Post Falls.
If you're looking to rent a dumpster in Post Falls, one of your main considerations is going to be cost. There are generally two pricing options available when renting a dumpster in Post Falls. Flat rate is pricing determined by the size of the dumpster, not the amount of stuff you put in it. Per ton pricing will charge you based on the weight you need hauled.
One type of pricing structure isn't necessarily more expensive than the other. Knowing just how much stuff you have to throw away, you might get a better deal with per ton pricing. On the other hand, flat rate pricing can help you keep a limitation on costs when you're dealing with unknown weights. Whether you regularly rent dumpsters for work or just need a one-time rental for a project throughout the house, you want to look around to find the best rental prices predicated on your needs.
All major credit cards accepted for dumpster rentals in Post Falls.

EXCLUSIVE: Two weeks after FremantleMedia North America’s PR head Manfred Westphal abruptly resigned his post as SVP communications and marketing at the reality TV indie giant, he is joining talent agency APA as head of PR. At APA, Westphal will assume a newly created senior-level communications position, with the agency’s current PR person, Alexis Amonic, staying on to work under him. The appointment is part of an ongoing expansion at APA, which also recently bought an adjacent building, adding 17 new offices.
Westphal puzzled many two weeks ago when he quietly cleared his office over the weekend, leaving only a resignation letter for FremantleMedia North America CEO Cecile Frot-Coutaz on his desk, which his assistant found after he didn’t show up for work Monday. The company is yet to name a replacement. Westphal had been at FremantleMedia North America since 2007 and was promoted to SVP in 2009. Before that, he spent five years at Paramount Domestic TV.

With my house back in order after the flooding, and the vegetarian festival coming up, I'm going to be making more vegetarian dishes. This is like warming up, it isn't a true vegetarian dish, traditionally it includes the dried fish flakes on the top, but the dominant flavour is ginger, the fish flakes are really lost and can be skipped for a true vegetarian dish.
1. Steam the tofu for 8-10 minutes. It's easier if you steam it on the plate you will serve it on, otherwise you can break it as you transfer it from the steamer.
2. Drain off the water from the steaming plate.
3. Drizzle with the soy sauce, sprinkle the spring onions over the top.
4. Garnish with some dried fish flakes, although traditional, you can skip this for a true vegetarian dish.
5. Place a pile of grated radish, and a pile of grated ginger on the plate.
6. When you eat it, take a piece of the tofu, onion, soy, some ginger, some radish and eat as a mouthful. The tofu provides a soft neutral base, the ginger is the dominant flavour, the radish brings freshness and the soy emphasizes all the flavours.

Liz Harfull is passionate about telling the stories and unearthing the histories of Australia’s quiet voices – the extraordinary, everyday people who make up our communities, especially in rural and regional Australia.
Liz has written three award-winning and best-selling books about Australian home-cooking traditions, a series of books capturing the life stories of rural women, as well as popular local history books featuring her favourite seaside town of Robe, on South Australia’s Limestone Coast.
Her first book, The Blue Ribbon Cookbook (Wakefield Press 2008), focussed on the traditions of country shows and show cooking in South Australia. Still in demand after more than 10 years, the surprise hit even took the author to Paris when it won a Gourmand World Cookbook Award.
A much anticipated follow-up with fresh stories and recipes from around the country, The Australian Blue Ribbon Cookbook (Allen & Unwin 2012), became a national best-seller. And her latest collection of stories and recipes, Tried Tested and True (Allen & Unwin 2018), has been shortlisted for two international awards, due to be announced in July 2019.
Her books featuring rural women include the national best-seller Women of the Land (Allen & Unwin 2012), about the extraordinary everyday lives of eight women from around Australia who run their own farms; and City Girl Country Girl (Allen & Unwin 2016). Inspired by her mother’s story, it made Amazon’s ‘Hot List’ for Australian biographies (audiobook version).
Her local histories include Almost an Island: the Story of Robe (Wakefield Press 2013); Guichen Bay and the Chinese Landings (District Council of Robe 2017); and Finding Steve’s Place (self-published, 2018).

Property Tax Exemptions – Can we afford them?
This chart is part of the MSB Manager’s 2018 budget presentation.
The Mat-Su Borough offers partial tax exemptions to some homeowners – Senior Citizens (people over age 65) and Disabled Veterans (any age; must have a 50% or more disability rating). Home owners who qualify do not have to pay property taxes on the first $218,000 value of their homes.
Note: The State of Alaska mandates an exemption of 150K and the MatSu Borough voters a few years ago voted to add another 68K, for a total of $218K per exemption.
The amount of “homeowner exempt” property has grown steadily in recent years, especially after the exemption amount was increased to 218K.
In 2012, the total assessed value of homeowner exempted property was $644 million for a loss of $9 million in tax revenue. By 2017, it was $909 million and a loss of $13.6 million in tax revenue.
4,957 people applied for these exemptions in 2012 while 6,756 people applied in 2017. That is an increase of 1799 people or 36.29% – in just 5 years!
Senior and Vet property exemptions are intended to help seniors and disabled vets with fixed incomes stay in their homes. However, these exemptions do not always target low income people because they are not needs-based.
This is River Bend. (Above) It is a newer high-end but smaller subdivision in Palmer. The custom built homes in this subdivision, which range in value from approx. 450K up to $2 million, have all been constructed within the past 10 years. (So these homes are NOT your grandma’s colony house! They are new luxury homes.) Most have outstanding views of the mountains and river. The subdivision also has common walking and biking trails leading down to the river. There are approximately 30 homes in this subdivision. 7 of these homes are owned by folks who get property tax breaks. These 7 homeowners claim the full 218K property tax exemption.
I did some more checking and in CLOUD’s REST, I checked the approx. 15 big homes with views (I did not check the homes with the lesser views) and you guessed it, 3 had the full exemptions. One home was originally assessed at $853! But with the exemption of course, the owners only pay property taxes on approx. 630K.
FINGER LAKE – lakefront homes – there are a lot of exemptions there too. Now, I know a few may be homesteads and not worth a LOT, but most of the homes on Finger Lake are super nice high end homes.
There is a house on WOLF LAKE (the aero community) that is assessed at over $1 million which gets the full senior exemption (so they pay taxes on approx 800k). And all told, I counted about 19 lots right on Wolf lake – there may only be about 15 hours because of empty lots and public lands – and about 5 have the full exemptions.
Do these wealthy people really need property tax breaks? NO WAY.
It is time to think about eliminating these property tax exemptions.
The MSB already had an existing hardship ordinance on the books.
None of the senior tax drain needed to happen. The MSB chose not to advertise the needs based senior/disabled vet program already in borough code.
The existing hardship code was neither referred to in public meetings about enacting the additional exemptions nor was it cited in the ballot language. How many voters assumed as a result there was no program in place at the time they voted for the additional exemptions?
At the times of the two consecutive optional exemption votes, there should have been full disclosure and comparison of the hardship exemption and the projected cost of the giveaways for the smaller pool of remaining taxpayers under 65. Voters had a misrepresented picture of the issue they were voting on.
Note: The projected loss of $2.4 million was included in the Informational Memorandum that went along with the proposed Ordinance, but most members of the public do not bother to read through the Assembly Meeting Packets.
Assembly Member Jim Sykes tried to get this information (the projected loss of $2.4 million) included on the ballot so the public would have the full story of what could happen but he was voted down. Only Sykes and Beck voted yes on this Amendment.
The hardship exemption is fair to all. Young and middle age families need to consider their own needs and the dangers of foreclosure to themselves against the reduced financial obligations of many healthy seniors with steady retirement incomes – especially those recently moved here with the partial or whole attraction of not paying property tax. Just because they’re old, should the payments of seniors who can afford it be paid by families that cannot afford it? Why should only families tighten their belts? And what is the income distribution and length of home ownership of taxpayers by age group?
RE: the facile poor old homesteader stereotype. Poor old homesteaders could have been grandfathered in regardless of income and their numbers would have been much smaller and declining to extinction over time.

(1) An application for hardship exemption shall be filed no later than April 20 of the assessment year for which the hardship exemption is requested.
(2) The applicant must submit an application required by 3 AAC 135.040, and supply additional information on a form supplied by the borough, to the borough assessor.

Such administrative appeal shall be based on the record upon which the borough assessor based the determination.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of the borough code, the borough assessor’s determination of tax liability under an application filed pursuant to this chapter is not stayed pending the appeal.
(1) Should the applicant make a false statement(s) regarding their eligibility or any question contained in the applications, a $500 infraction fine shall be imposed. In addition, the applicant is liable for immediate payment of an amount equal to the levy multiplied times the exempted amount of the hardship exemption.

JACKSONVILLE, FL (May 6, 2018) - Hopefully Joseph Deraney brought an extra carry-on with him when he left his house last weekend, because he'll have two trophies to take with him when he boards the plane for the trip home. The 34-year-old from Lexington, KY continued his brilliance this week, closing out the Timuquana Cup Invitational with a 72 and a one-shot win at Timuquana Country Club.
Deraney will sleep well when he gets back to Lexington, playing six good rounds of golf in a row in two different time zones, leading for five of those six days and winning two major mid-amateur national invitationals in a row.
At the Carlton Woods Invitational just north of Houston, Deraney took the lead with a 67 in the second round, then held steady with a final-round 72 and a two-shot win. He then flew to Florida and picked right up where he left off, shooting a pair of 70s (the low score of the field each day), and then grinding out another 72 for the win.
Like at Carlton Woods, Deraney outplayed his playing partners in the final round, but had to contend with a player in the groups ahead going low and posting a target score. This time is was Nick Gilliam (Newberry, FL) who put up 7 birdies in a 68 that put him in the clubhouse at 3 under while Deraney was still out on the course.
Scoring was lower on Sunday, with four scores in the 60s, including 67s by Bowen Osborn (Burbank, CA) and the defending champion Patrick Christovich (New Orleans, LA), getting both into the top 10.
Deraney was two-under for the third straight round after birdies on 14 and 15, giving him a three-shot cushion. Like at Carlton Woods, he dropped a couple of shots late, but with a two-shot lead on the final hole a bogey was good enough to close it out. Deraney finished with rounds of 70-70-72 for a 4-under total.
Gilliam was second, and Osborn was tied for third at 2 under with Rob Couture (Dallas, TX). Christovich was fourth along with Mike Stamberger (New York, NY) at 1-over 217.
Rusty Strawn (McDonough, GA), who starte dthe day one shot behind Deraney, fell away with a 75 and finished tied for 7th, in a group of four other players that includes Clay Guerin (Hoover, AL), who came into the tournament hot off of winning both the Haskins Four-Ball and the Alabama State Four-Ball in successive weeks.
Joseph Deraney (Lexington, KY) is in prime position to win his second major national mid-amateur invitational in four days, shooting a second-consecutive round of 2-under 70 and taking a three shot lead into the final round of the Timuquana Cup Invitational at Timuquana Country Club.
Deraney, who won the Carlton Woods Invitational in The Woodlands, Texas on Thursday, put together a 4 birdie, 2 bogey round, just as he did in round one. he is doing his damage on the par fives at Timuquana, going 5 under for the 8 he has played.
A win on Sunday would also give Deraney his second Timuquana Cup title in three years, having won his first in 2016.
Rusty Strawn (McDonough, GA) is the only other player under par, with rounds of 71-72 putting him three shots behind the leader.
Three players--Mike Stamberger (New York, NY), Rob Couture (Dallas, TX) and Tony Grillo (Jacksonville Beach, FL)--share third place at even par 144.
The defending champion Patrick Christovich (New Orleans, LA) is tied for 16th at 6-over 150. Among other past champions, Kevin Wolf (2015) is tied 7th at 3-over 147 and Tommy Dudley, who won the first Timuquana Cup in 2012, if tied 14th at 5-over 149.
Just a day after winning the Carlton Woods Invitational Joseph Deraney opened in a 2-under 70 to grab the lead at the Timuquana Cup Invitational.
Following the completion of his title at the Houston, TX event Deraney traveled 870 miles east and he brought his A game along with him. Deraney rolled in his first of four birdies at Timuquana Country Club on the 2nd hole while adding additional circles on the 4th, 6th and 12th holes. The 2016 Timuquana Cup Invitational winner did bogey twice but he will still carry a one shot lead into Saturday's second round.
Rusty Strawn and Tony Grillo are tied for second at 1-under while David Denham, Thad Hudgens, Kevin Wolf and Nick Gilliam are sharing fourth at even-par. Defending champion Patrick Christovich is 2-over in a tie for 11th.

Parker disappeared from the family gathering in the living room. “Parker,” I hollered only to catch her out of the corner of my eye pulling herself up on the bar stool in the kitchen to reach the contents on the counter. She had been eyeing the tray of cookies and now with everyone distracted, her two year old independence was about to be rewarded.
I made it to her just in time to pull the tray out of her reach, though, since she gave it such a good effort I let her pick one out. She immediately choose a peanut butter blossom – the kind with a Hersey kiss in the middle. Parker goes for the chocolate first and eats the cookie second. After her treat we resumed activity with everyone else in the living room: playing with cousins, checking out new toys and clearing the debris of wrapping paper and boxes.
Later I was called back into the kitchen by my brother and my mom. Parker also joined and again pulled herself up on the bar stool to position herself next to her big cousins. They pointed out how 3 cookies were missing bites out of the top of the chocolate kiss and all knew who was likely responsible, my little cookie monster.
Parker reached for a sugar cookie and got one off the tray before Nana could intervene. “You need to ask mommy first Parker,” She told her in a loving Nana way. Parker looked right at me with her big brown eyes maybe thinking of asking permission.
Instead she said “Thank you Mommy.” And took a big bite of her cookie.
Not your average holiday letter.
One thing I love the most about this time of year is all of the mail! The tradition of catching up with old friends by a Christmas card, a family photo or yearly update with a good old fashioned stamp on it makes me smile, plus fresh frame-worthy pictures to update frames is a bonus. Snail mail anytime of the year is welcome, though, I know I send and receive the most in the month of December.
The holiday letter is kind of a funny thing to me. When a simple card or picture will not do, individuals and families might opt to generate a quick synopsis of the last 12 months to update friends and family who might not otherwise hear all of the news flashes throughout the year. I’m not sure when my mom thought this would be necessary to write one for our family, though, I remember the year I did not approve. In 1996 I was 14 years old and read over her draft of the family holiday letter. I’m sure she highlighted many major events, boasted about how wonderful her kids were and used proper sentence structure and punctuation, yet it seemed to make us even more boring than we actually were. By pointing out the yawn factor, she challenged me to come up with something better. The product ended up being a sarcastic summary of life in our household and I was required to continue writing holiday letters until long after all of us kids were grown.
A few years back my mom’s friend Sue mailed me a stack of my holiday letters she had been saving. Her note said she had been doing some deep cleaning and heard I hadn’t been keeping copies. I guess rather than holding onto the letters themselves I will purge them onto the internet to be able to look back on and maybe inspire someone else to create entertaining holiday notes. Starting with letter #2.
Amazing how my mom folded each letter identically over the years, huh? Now I am anxiously awaiting the mailman’s arrival!

For every undercover sting operation that's successful, there are two others that fail. The underworld are always suspicious and devious, often double-dealing, even having their own informers within the system. Then there are the con-artists who try and lead us on fictitious trail, trying to make a quick buck.
But last week’s operation went like clockwork. From receiving the initial tip-off from a Big Life informer, to having the dealers and poachers in jail took just three days.
The informer set up the rendezvous with the dealer. Two of our rangers volunteered (we can't give their names, as the repercussions can be severe). Dressed like Nairobi spivs, with gold chains, rings, the works, posing as buyers from Nairobi.
Simple. Well, perhaps. Because one thing that we have learnt is this : the sellers will invariably change conditions at the last minute, and the undercover rangers have to think fast on their feet and adapt to it. Not easy when they often don’t have an open contact with the back-up unit. And if they become compromised, the consequences are severe….
Once everything was in place the Kenya Wildlife Service Undercover unit was informed, and an operational base set up in Kimana. We had three cars involved in the operation, all of them hired and unknown in the area. Then it was a waiting game for the informer to call in with information of where the deal would take place.
The deal was to happen at 8pm by a Maasai Village boma near the road to Tsavo National Park.
Our undercover unit set off in a civilian 4x4 with four armed Kenya Wildlife Service undercover officers in the back. A Big Life and KWS vehicle followed at a safe distance, lights switched off. When the undercover unit were 500m for the boma, the KWS officers got out and started to surround the boma, keeping their distance until the ivory was produced.
After several minutes inside, the Big Life undercover rangers emerged with the dealers, under the pretext of needing to weigh the tusks. At that moment, the KWS unit stormed in and make arrests.
That sounds easy, but imagine a moonless night, not knowing if any of the dealers were armed, that maybe even be a trap was set. In the commotion that ensued, one of the poachers managed to get away. Another dealer would have also escaped had one Big Life ranger not decided to blow his cover and rugby tackle the dealer as he disappeared into the bushes.
The dealers are currently being held in at Kajiado police station, awaiting the court hearing set for June 20.
Five tusks were recovered. Three elephants' lives lost for nothing, but hopefully not completely for nothing, as word continues to spread that the Big Life teams are out there, making it ever more difficult for poachers and dealers to kill and deal in animal parts.

Have you ever searched online directories for local products and services? If so that puts you with about 92% of the population. Now what if I told you that nearly half of the information in those hyperlocal directories is incorrect, out of date, or incomplete? Sounds like a major problem, right? Then my next question is, what about your business? Is the online information for your business current, complete, and correct? Chances are, there is bad information on the web about your business. Incorrect information leads to lost revenue, and unhappy customers, and who wants that?
There are hundreds of digital directories that share information about your business with potential customers who are actively searching for your products or services.
It is time consuming for businesses to manually update and manage these listings. Checking and updating just the most popular directories can take 10 to 15 hours.
There are tools available for managing online directory listings, ranging from free to a few hundred dollars. However some of these tools are complicated to use for beginners. It’s also important to remember that, as in most things, you get what you pay for.
Managing your information in online directories is an ongoing process as your business grows and changes. It makes sense to invest in a solution that will work for your business for the long haul.
The bottom line is, that understanding and managing your information in hyperlocal services and online directories brings rewards, so make the decision to do it right.
Lowcountry Media Solutions has extensive national and international experience in business driven internet marketing. We offer solutions for your company’s internet marketing needs, including managing your business information in online directories.

This year is off to a great start and our family has so many new goals to accomplish for 2019! For myself, I have chosen to eat cleaner, do more reading, more exercise and spend more quality time with my boys.
My boys have also started some new goals. They get up with an alarm now, get dressed themselves AND make their beds. Of course, you can’t expect it to be done perfectly, but I give points for trying. This has worked wonders for the kids. It gives them a sense of duty and structure. It has changed the tone of our morning routine immensely.
The kids have also settled into playing with their Holiday toys and have chosen which ones they love, like the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet. They both share it and I know what you’re thinking.
How do you get two boys to share a tablet, especially the ever popular Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet?
There aren’t too many things that they are able to share but we’ve figured out a way with the Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet, They both know they have two hours a day, including educational apps and reading the first hour. They are not in a rush to use up all their time at once. These are smart boys! Amazon FreeTime encourages learning before play, so they are not just going straight to entertainment. They do well with structure and need these boundaries.
I have learned to balance their screen time using the Parent Dashboard.
The Parent Dashboard helps me keep tabs on my boys. I can see how much time they are spending on different apps and what books they are reading. I can add content, adjust the age filter, and modify the web browser. I have complete control. I can see all their digital activity on FreeTime remotely just by going to the Parent Dashboard. It’s even available in Spanish!
My boys can enjoy hundreds of hours of fun with ad-free radio stations and playlists, Audible books, and a growing list of premium kid’s skills available on compatible Echo devices.
The Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet also has a two –Year Worry-Free Guarantee so if my boys drop it and it breaks, I can send it back to Amazon to replace it. Amazon knows how kids are. They get it.
With all the craziness going on in the world today, we, as parents need to have more control over what our kids watch and play. The Fire HD 8 Kids Edition tablet gives me that control. What do you do to control your kid’s screen time?
This is such an important topic especially that kids nowadays are exposed on technology! It’s always nice to have that balance.
This is so interesting! I need to be better about balancing my own screen time haha.
What a great way to monitor the time they spend. I don’t have kids, but I’d like to think I would keep their screen time at a minimum.

This past January 7th, Oprah Winfrey received a special honor from the entertainment community called a Cecil B. DeMille award for lifetime achievement at the Golden Globes.
For the first time, a black woman received this honor.
In accepting the award, Oprah gave an impassioned speech that received three standing ovations from the audience and made headlines around the world, some wondering out loud if she was considering a political run. In the speech (available – and highly recommended – below in video and text format), she spoke about her life being raised by a hard-working, single mom and the moment as a little girl she watched with great awe and pride as Sidney Poitier receive his Best Actor award (the first black man to receive an Academy Award) at the 1964 Oscars. She shared her understanding of the significance that her own stature and honoring means to little girls watching her give her speech that day.
In addition to being an acclaimed actress, producer, television star, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, Oprah Winfrey at 64 has built a business fortune estimated to be worth 2.9 billion and puts her third on the Forbes’ richest “Self-Made Women” list. As impressive as all this is (and it is impressive!), it was her role as a national television host that really turned her into a beloved and respected household name. From 1986 to 2011, Oprah Winfrey hosted The Oprah Winfrey Show, a daytime talk show, mostly drawing female viewers. Millions of American women tuned in each weekday to listen to her brand of empathetic wisdom as she tackled the many personal and societal issues of the day. For 25 years, Oprah Winfrey interacted and listened, allowing others to share their stories while she was vulnerable about her own. Oprah didn’t shy away from talking about her own difficult childhood which included an incident of sexual assault when she was 9 years old.
Oprah hit the moment in history not only out of the park, but right between the eyes.
True to her legacy, Oprah’s speech at this year’s Golden Globes hit on the major themes not only of her life, but the major themes that Americans are grappling with today. From sexual assault and harassment, issues of civil rights, the value of (and some political administrations undervaluing) the press and of the #MeToo movement itself, Oprah hit the moment in history not only out of the park, but right between the eyes.
Oprah Winfrey has achieved so much in her life. With this latest accolade, she has also followed Sidney Poitier (seen above receiving his “Best Actor” award in 1965) in receiving the DeMille award, which he was presented with in 1982.
After this passionate and on-point speech, on February 15th Oprah responded to the questions about a political run in the negative, saying that she is not planning to run for president. She said instead,“I am a listener and I am a connector of ideas,” during the as-of-now definitive 60 Minutes interview. Whether or not that remains the case, it is my hope that her encapsulation of hope and inspiration, as well as the targeted mirror she held up with her #MeToo references, will not be lost in the rumor mill of political speculation.
In 1944, Recy Taylor was a young wife and mother walking home from a church service she’d attended in Abbeville, Alabama, when she was abducted by six armed white men, raped, and left blindfolded by the side of the road coming home from church. They threatened to kill her if she ever told anyone, but her story was reported to the NAACP where a young worker by the name of Rosa Parks became the lead investigator on her case and together they sought justice. But justice wasn’t an option in the era of Jim Crow. The men who tried to destroy her were never persecuted. Recy Taylor died ten days ago, just shy of her 98th birthday. She lived as we all have lived, too many years in a culture broken by brutally powerful men. For too long, women have not been heard or believed if they dare speak the truth to the power of those men. But their time is up. Their time is up.

Review article: gastric emptying in functional gastrointestinal disorders.
Aliment Pharmacol Ther. 2004 Nov;20 Suppl 7:56-60.
Although delayed gastric emptying has been described in several functional gastrointestinal disorders, and appears to be especially common in functional dyspepsia, the relationship of this finding to symptoms and basic pathophysiology is difficult to define. The delineation of the interactions between delayed gastric emptying, on the one hand, and symptom pathogenesis, on the other, has been hampered by several factors. These include the limitations of the methodology itself, the extent of overlap between the various functional disorders and the sensitivity of gastric emptying to factors external to the stomach, be they elsewhere within the gastrointestinal tract, in the central nervous system or in the environment. In many instances, delayed gastric emptying is an epiphenomenon, reflecting the overlap between inadequately defined functional syndromes, shared pathophysiology or the activation of physiological interactions between the various organs of the gut. In others, it may imply a truly diffuse motor disorder. The disappointments attendant on attempts to alleviate symptoms through approaches designed to accelerate gastric emptying should therefore not come as a surprise. Pending the definition of the true significance of delayed gastric emptying in all functional gastrointestinal disorders, caution should be exerted in the interpretation of this finding in a patient with functional symptoms.

15 “The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen—16 just as you desired of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’ 17 And the LORD said to me, ‘They are right in what they have spoken. 18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. 19 And whoever will not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him. 20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’ 21 And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the LORD has not spoken?’—22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.
4 “This is the provision for the manslayer, who by fleeing there may save his life. If anyone kills his neighbor unintentionally without having hated him in the past—5 as when someone goes into the forest with his neighbor to cut wood, and his hand swings the axe to cut down a tree, and the head slips from the handle and strikes his neighbor so that he dies—he may flee to one of these cities and live, 6 lest the avenger of blood in hot anger pursue the manslayer and overtake him, because the way is long, and strike him fatally, though the man did not deserve to die, since he had not hated his neighbor in the past. 7 Therefore I command you, You shall set apart three cities. 8 And if the LORD your God enlarges your territory, as he has sworn to your fathers, and gives you all the land that he promised to give to your fathers—9 provided you are careful to keep all this commandment, which I command you today, by loving the LORD your God and by walking ever in his ways—then you shall add three other cities to these three, 10 lest innocent blood be shed in your land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance, and so the guilt of bloodshed be upon you.

We talk about shoulders when the shoulders and neck are cut off as one part from a large cowhide. The neck is about 25% of the entire skin. Characteristic alongside the design are the neck straps and the grain pattern. These are desirable characteristics, which for example can be even more pronounced in bulls. It is a solid leather, which can be tanned and finished in different ways. The thicker the leather is, the more stable it will be. It is not for nothing that it is an excellent material for belts and for example motorcycle bags. Ask about our possibilities.
These are the shoulders where no dyes are used in the tanning process. The leather has a natural, white color, which will certainly change under the influence of light. You can then choose to color the neck yourself or to accept that with time the leather will show these signs of aging. The recipe of each tanner for white necks will differ, giving the end product a different character.
In contrast to the white, natural shoulders, in the tanning process dyes are used to color the leather. The result is a uniform colored shoulder, which can be used for multiple purposes. The presence of the neck straps once again confirms the unique character of the shoulder. Curious about the colors?
Thickness: 0.6 mm. – 3.5 mm.

Many Social Security disability appeals are denied because of the testimony of a vocational expert, or “VE.” In fact, a vocational expert is about three times as likely to testify at your hearing as a medical expert.
Sometimes it seems like the VE is trying to keep you from getting benefits, but more often, he is trying to answer questions to the best of his knowledge.
There are plenty of opportunities for mistakes to enter an expert’s testimony. VEs are not necessarily experts on Social Security disability law. Many have backgrounds in vocational rehabilitation and are experienced in thinking of ways for employers to accommodate workers with disabilities.
However, just because a VE can come up with some way for you to work in spite of your impairment doesn’t mean you can find an employer willing to agree to it. The relevant question is whether you can do a job as it is ordinarily performed.
Your attorney should be more knowledgeable about the nuances of Social Security law than the vocational expert. Questioning the VE is one of the many ways a skilled New York disability lawyer can increase your chances of winning benefits.
How does the Social Security Administration define a “skill”?
What is the difference between a trait and a skill?
What is a “transferable” skill?
Can a person’s residual functional capacity prevent the transferability of a skill? For example, would a painting skill be transferable for a claimant with paint fume allergies?
What medical restrictions did you consider when deciding what jobs the claimant’s skills could be transferred to?
How long will it take for the claimant to establish a high degree of proficiency in each job you have identified?
Many vocational experts will admit when they are wrong and may even reverse their opinion when faced with new facts. Even if your VE stubbornly refuses to change his mind, his credibility with the judge will be damaged.

Just how did we end up with a white Jesus? It’s a longer story than you’d think.
Jesus has been the object of veneration and worship in the West for nearly 2,000 years, to the point that his mildest utterances (correctly attributed or not) have occasionally formed the basis of whole religious movements. As Jesus’ following spread over time — sometimes via devoted missionary work and sometimes by comparatively less saintly methods — people across multiple societies have cast images of Jesus in their image.
Pictures of a white Jesus cropped up all over the Empire around this time. In this one, etched into a glass plate and found in Spain, Jesus is again depicted as beardless – common in Iberia, but rare by this time in the Greek parts of the empire – and carrying a cross. Again, all of the common elements are here: the halo, the central placement, and the instruction of apostles.
The generally accepted (white) appearance of Jesus was firmly established by the reign of Constantine. Unlike other images of, for example, Constantine himself, the template for depicting Jesus barely changed in the 18 centuries after it took shape. This is almost certainly the result of two pressures: religious conservatism and artists’ desire to actually sell their work.
Regarding the former, church authorities have historically been resistant to any kind of change — especially throughout most of the period we’re dealing with (think crusades and burnings). This tendency exerted tremendous pressure on ambitious young artists who probably didn’t want “burned for heresy” to appear in the footnote to their entry in an art history textbook.
Second, and less morbidly, artists have always wanted to reach the public and tell a story with their work — it makes for a more effective painting and thus a longer-lasting, more successful career. Whether it’s a quick sketch, a mosaic floor, or the Blessing Christ by Raphael, using an agreed-upon likeness of a powerful figure like Jesus just made it easier to reach a mass audience, especially in a time of general illiteracy.
Today, Jesus is most likely to be depicted in iconography and film. The icons, which are usually smallish cards that can be carried or displayed in the home, mostly follow the old artistic conventions of the late Roman Empire, with few changes since the era of the Council of Nicaea.
While it can be annoying for purists who like to point out that Jesus of Nazareth probably bore a closer physical resemblance to Osama bin Laden than his flaxen, lily-white depiction today, every culture that received a visit from missionaries has been guilty of doing the same thing — they just weren’t as influential as the Christian powers that be. While the Empire eventually faded, one of its most wildly exaggerated and appropriated offerings — a white Jesus — stuck around.

Last week destroyerj and I bought copies of NCAA Football 09 to play an online dynasty together. I haven't played video game football since college to my recollection, so it sounded like fun!
5 weeks into the season, it is indeed fun. The controls have gotten a lot more complicated since then but I'm starting to get the hang of it - trying to pick up one or two new moves every game.
Dynasty mode is pretty sweet too. The idea is that you're the coach of a team (I took U of Houston, destroyerj took Rice) and you play games while also recruiting for next season. If you do well you can go to bowl games/get invited to better conferences/etc. If you do poorly you can be fired!
The first few weeks we played on "Varsity" difficulty, but after I beat #13 Illinois and destroyerj beat #10 Texas we bumped it to "All-American". Last night I sat down to play a practice game against Rice to try out the new difficulty. It was definitely a step up - Rice was beating me 28-7ish before I gave up and went to play my real game against ECU (East Carolina University, apparently). Luckily I guess I had adapted to the harder difficulty while practicing so I thumped them 31-7ish.
So that's going well. The fun part is, oddly enough, recruiting! You have to pick a bunch of high-schoolers to set your sights on (that are at least a little interested in your school), and then start cajoling them to like you more. Your school has certain attributes (academic quality, conference quality, proximity to home, early playing time, etc.) and each recruit values these things more or less, so you can call them and try to figure out what's important to them (and sometimes you can sway them to think something is more important). After they like you a certain amount you can set up a campus visit, and you use the knowledge of what they like and what you're good at to pick activities for them to do.
My recruiting this season seems to be going quite well - I needed two MLB's and two G's which is a bit rough but I seem to have the inside track on a number of good ones. The recruits are rated from 1-5 stars and I have a good shot at some 4 stars, which is pretty good for my first year at a mediocre school. I have learned not to schedule visits during a bye week; thought I read somewhere that it didn't make a difference but it sure seems to.
Anyway, it's a good game and worth picking up, especially if you plan on playing an Online Dynasty!

Two Newport Beach families donated $100,000 in a matching grant to Newport Harbor High School, the Newport Harbor Educational Foundation announced Tuesday.
Philanthropists Cassie and David Conant and Sue and Nick Willett gave $50,000 from each couple to nudge new donors toward supporting the high school, according to a news release.
For each new donation of $2,500 or more to the foundation, a matching amount of money will be given out of the $100,000.
"Excellent schools make our community truly extraordinary," David Conant said. "And we are proud to encourage other families to support Newport Harbor High School through the Newport Harbor Educational Foundation."
Another donor, David Pyle, gave $50,000 for the Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) college prep program at Newport Harbor, according to the release.
All the donations were made at the educational foundation's annual Donor Appreciation Celebration on June 6.

Childhood immunisation We noticed that parents for some reason do not bring their children for the pre-school immunisation. That is despite the fact that reminders and appointments are sent out by the health board for our baby clinics. It really could not be easier to receive these important immunisations and protect your children from nasty and dangerous infectious disease. So please bring your children when you receive the appointment. Otherwise contact us and we can help you in finding a more suitable appointment time.
Blood Pressure : If you are 45 year and older and did not have a blood pressure check for the last 5 years please see our nurses / health care assistants to have your blood pressure checked.
Practice Pharmacists Our community pharmacists check the prescribing of medications every so often to implement changes as per new developed guidelines and protocols. These are Scotland and UK wide recommendations. You may receive a letter about a new medication or change dose depending on required changes. If you have any questions regarding this please contact our doctors or nurses.
Bowel Screening Program This is a screening test to detect bowel cancer at an early stage and is now in its 3rd year for patients between the ages of 50 – 74. Please return the sample you receive by mail. If you forgot to send it and need a new kit, phone 0800 0121 8333. If you want to ask or discuss anything about this test please call and mention this letter.
Prescription requests Please phone between 9 am – 5 pm if you request a prescription and remember to allow 48 hours before you collect your prescription. New medication from hospital visits can only prescribed once we have written confirmation from the hospital clinic.
Missed Appointments Please remember it is very important to let us know if you can not come to your appointment. We always have patients waiting for appointments who could be seen by doctors and/or nurses instead.
In December 77 patients did not turn up for their pre-booked appointments and 19 patients did not attend their appointment booked on the same day!
These patients did not cancel their appointments and it means 96 of our patients missed appointments in only one month.
