A Simple Apology Can Spare You A Lawsuit
Customer retention involves more than delivering great service, it impacts the bottom line. According to an article in MedServ Medical News,a new coalition of patients, attorneys, doctors and hospital administrators across the nation have come up with an idea to keep liability costs and medical errors down at the same time. The idea is working so well that it is reducing the number of lawsuits. What's their great idea? It is simply an apology. The group is called the Sorry Works! Coalition. Its members describe the idea like this: -Hospitals and physicians review every adverse incident. -Hospital administrators and physicians sit down with patients and families to explain what happened. -The...
The Inn At Kristofer's In Sister Bay Wisconsin...
Door County, Wisconsin is a popular destination for tens of thousands of travelers every year. Small villages with populations of less than 500 people swell to large crowds during the summer weekends as people head to Door County for some rest, relaxation, time on the water, and good food. The Inn at Kristofers, located on Bay Shore Drive in Sister Bay, Wisconsin, is a wonderful place to go for a special meal. My husband and I treated ourselves to dinner there during our latest trip to Door County and we were very glad we did. We had a great meal. The first thing we noticed after being seated was the beautiful view of the water. The restaurant is directly across the street from the Bay in Sister Bay...
Wisconsin bans hunting by Internet
Wisconsin State Assembly passed Bill 179. This bill reads "relating to: being physically in possession of a firearm, bow, or crossbow while hunting captive deer or other captive wild animals. This bill is intended to stop the surge of Internet hunting in Wisconsin. A Texas businessman owns a web site that allows people to shoot game animals on his ranch. This is done with specially mounted cameras on rifles. The "hunter" can view the entire process online and tell the person holding the rifle to shoot live game on his ranch. He claims the site was intended for disabled people so that they can also enjoy hunting and target shooting. Generally in Wisconsin, disabled persons are given the opportunity...

Since the dawn of mankind fishing and catching the largest and most fish has always been on most men's mind. So it is with ice fishing in the Northern U.S. states and Canada. In an effort to catch "that big one" as well "more fish" new technologies and techniques have advanced and evolved. Many of these techniques and tactics are thought fresh, copied and some say even "stolen" from the ice fisherman's fall/spring / summer "open water" fishing cousins and some even say "competitors". To begin with and to note with caution - the first rule of ice fishing is to return home intact with your catch, or sometimes lack of catch. Safety is more than paramount. Always remember that even though you feel safe...
Golf Fitness is the Stealth Secret
Look at yourself; you're certainly not getting any younger or any thinner. We have all put on a few pounds during the holidays but if our goal is to play better golf in 2007 any beyond then having a golf specific routine is essential. Don't worry you won't need to spend a couple of hours in the gym every day and you don't even need to join a gym, unless you want to. Some of us are more disciplined than others and can keep on task without having a drill instructor barking at us during our workout. You have to know which style will work best for you. You also need to be honest with yourself; do you truly want to change? We all need a little guidance as to what specifically do we need to work on for a...
What are bioflavonoids? No, it's not an annoying mascot for a pizza chain. It's not the latest race of alien beings from a new science fiction series, either. They are actually the natural pigments found in many different fruits and vegetables. Science is discovering that they may have numerous health benefits when it comes to brain function and the overall health of your circulatory system. Bioflavonoids are most commonly praised for their antioxidant properties. They were first identified in the 1930's by Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Ph.D., a Nobel laureate. They are thought to prevent the breakdown of vitamin C in the body, and they also boast their own antioxidant capabilities. Over 5000 different...

October 2004 For Immediate Release... Give Me a Home Where the Dairy Cows Roam COLFAX, WISCONSIN - Did you know that since 1969, the United States has lost 85 percent of its dairy farms. And did you know that since 1969, Wisconsin has lost nearly 70 percent of its dairy farms? "I lived away from my hometown in west central Wisconsin for 15 years. When I returned in the mid 1990s, I expected to be living in a farming community again. Instead, I discovered that many of the small family dairy farms like the one where I grew up had disappeared" said LeAnn R. Ralph, author of the books Christmas in Dairyland (True Stories from a Wisconsin Farm) (August 2003) and Give Me a Home Where the Dairy Cows Roam...

Going Camping? Here's A List Of The Top 20...
When going camping, you must choose a really ideal camping park, not minding about whether its a paid site or a free one. It is now getting increasingly tough to make this decision of choosing a site that is picture perfect. There are many camp sites belonging to the National Forest Service, which are not very eye catching but in great locations. The regular camp sites are neither outstanding nor unforgettable. The good camping parks have wonderful views, and good amenities like a proper restroom or pit toilet and a fire ring in the place of a small pit. But most of these good sites need you to make your reservations well in advance. They may also be some distance away from where you will have to...

Frank Oresnik's Chevy truck dubbed 'old girl' recently passed the one million-mile mark thanks to an engine built in Flint. "This engine is a real marvel," Oresnik said in a telephone interview with The Flint Journal. "It keeps this truck going and going. I'm a complete booster of the job your men and women did on my engine." Officials at General Motors Corp. said the engine in Oresnik's Chevy Silverado was manufactured at the former Flint V-8 Engine Plant off Van Slyke Road, which ceased production in 1999 and was demolished a year thereafter. The durability of the engine is not surprising to V-8 workers. Actually, some of them are still building said engines at Flint Engine South, a plant situated...
Scuba Diver Escaped Shark Attack In Australia
The AFP reported on 25 Jan 2007 that a brave scuba diver repelled a Great White Shark attack yesterday. How did this man escaped from the most feared predator of the sea, the monstrous Great White Shark which is known to grow up to 30 feet long and can weigh tons? The Australian scuba diver, Eric Nerhus said that he resisted the shark attack so vigorously because he did not want to be an undignified fish food. Fish food? The Great White Shark is no ordinary shark It is a huge mean meat eating machine and nothing in the ocean can stand against its ferocity and viciousness. Scuba Diving Shark Encounter According to Eric, he was scuba diving collecting abalone in the ocean south of Sidney when he...
Computer Technology Improves Home Entertainment
Every time the computer industry tries to make inroads into the home entertainment center by offering products that are designed to use the home TV screen as a computer screen, consumers offer a lot of resistance. Yet, the computer industry persists as evidenced by Intel's Viiv technology and the fact that the media center version of Microsoft's Windows XP operating system and several versions of the Vista operating system are designed to make computers a part of the home entertainment center. While consumers have been busy resisting the incursion of the home computer into the home entertainment center, computer equipment has been sneaking in anyway. This covert incursion can be seen in the form of...
The Internet, now-a- days is a very convenient way to conduct market research. It is one of the most flexible and convenient ways to carry out the research. It however requires flexibility and creativity on the part of the researcher to meet the demands and gain results out of the survey. Qualitative market research is important while conducting market research. Qualitative market research is used in cases where in depth or perceptual data is needed, and where it is less important to draw out generalized results, as is generally done in many large-scale surveys. Since qualitative data can be complex at times and can be analyzed at other levels as well, several other techniques of data collection and...

A home makeover project often consists of trying to laminate floors as well, rather than just concentrate on walls and ceilings. This is because many guests will notice the state of your floors first, rather than the condition of your walls and ceilings? Face it, how many times has your next-door neighbor commented: Oh, what a lovely ceiling you have! But he may have noticed your floors enough to say: I think your floors need a bit of spit and polish to them. Why is it important to laminate floors? The basic difference between laminate floors and wood floors is that laminate floors are protected from accidental liquid and food spilled onto their surface. They may look like hardwood floors but...
Best Lakes in the Country and Tips for Lake...
Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin is a popular lake for walleye lake fishing. The depth of the water is at its peek with only twenty feet. The other areas stay around fifteen feet deep. The weed growth and some underwater reefs make this the best lake in Wisconsin to try your hand at walleye fishing. Some of the anglers on this lake are using a jig with a night crawler or a plastic twister tail. They are fishing right out of the weeds over by Kelly's Point and Fraction Island. The recommend way to troll is using the back troll method with a night crawler and a spinner. The thing to keep in mind when fishing a big lake like this is that every area is going to call for different types of bait. If you fish...
Western States Bankruptcy
With adjustable rate mortgages coming due, foreclosures are on the rise. For many a consumer, bankruptcy does not follow far behind. Yet in recent months Nevada bankruptcy filings have shown that when done correctly, they can stop foreclosures before they even occur, thus protecting a desperate consumer from one of the most insidious financial mistakes she or he could be making. Generally speaking, a foreclosure proceeding is a mortgage lender's attempt at recovering any moneys due that a borrower is unable or unwilling to pay. If the borrower is upside down in the loan - in other words, she or he owes more on the home than it is actually worth or will fetch during a foreclosure sale or auction...

Perfume With Coconut Oils And Much More
Perfumes are carefully formulated mixtures of natural or synthetic oils, diluted with a suitable solvent. The dilution is important, because the fragrance oils contain sufficiently high concentrates of volatile components to cause allergic reactions or even injury. So perfumes are frequently diluted in ethanol or an ethanol and water mixture, although the oils can also be mixed with jojoba, coconut oil, or even wax, so that most perfumes contain only 20% to 40% of aromatic compounds. Other fragrance products-eau de parfum, eau de toilette, eau de cologne-are formulated so that they have even lower concentrations of perfume oils. Eau de parfum contains, perhaps, 10% to 30% of undiluted oils; eau de...

Getting The Most Out Of Amateur Boxing
Professional fighting is a business conducted for monetary gain. Amateur boxing is a competitive sport or recreation. These distinctions should be kept in mind at all times. We are directing our instructions, advice, and suggestions to the coach supervising boxers individually or in groups; to the boy who, motivated by a desire for competitive or recreational activity, wishes to learn the fundamentals of boxing; and also to the father who acquiesces to the urge to teach his son the art of boxing. We intend to be very fundamental in our approach, and thus to enable even an inexperienced coach to put across readily an effective instructional program to his boys. We want to make it possible for the boy...
DOE to Give Fund for Vehicle Developments
The world is now full of advancements. And as man's mechanism to adapt to these advancements, several individuals and groups support different funded projects to further make the present technologies even more sophisticated. Whether these technologies give advantages or disadvantages, what is important is that they are built with the aim of helping mankind. Among other things, countries are in competition with regard to advanced technology. When one country has invented a system, expect that another country will release a new invention. And so others do the same. And this pattern goes on and on. On this issue, the state performs an important role in supporting its constituents to produce more and...

A Great Place to Play Golf in Minnesota is...
In my continuing journey to bring you the hidden gems of Minnesota golf courses I traveled to the picturesque west central Minnesota town of Glenwood. On the banks of beautiful Lake Minnewaska, home to Peters Sunset Beach Resort, is a golf course named Pezhekee National. The golf course has evolved over the past four decades to what you see and play today. The first nine holes where built slowly over several summers in the 1960's. The expansion to become an 18-hole facility took place in the 1980's. Four newly designed holes where integrated into the course late in the 2006 season as several holes from the original nine where decommissioned to meet additional lodging needs at the resort. The Peters...

What is a Classic?
It is always fun to enjoy the latest new and trendy things, no matter how temporary or ephemeral. But the real richness of life lies in the authentic, the enduring, the fads and fashions that evolve into "classics." A "classic" is hard to define, but we know it when we see it. Instinctively, we think of a "classic" as something of lasting, proven value that doesn't go out of style, something timeless and not to be discarded tomorrow. We recognize classic architecture, whether Georgian or Art Deco, as pleasing. Great art refers to the works of artists who have stood the test of time. "Literature is news that stays news," said Ezra Pound. We still listen to Beethoven and the Beatles. A classic...
If you really want to get a feel for opinion on the street, there can be few better pit stops than the message boards from BBC America where the entertainment value is a good deal higher than the shows themselves. The comments are not confined to The Antiques Roadshow alone as there is a burgeoning interest in Flog It, Bargain Hunt and Cash in the Attic too. The most revealing aspect, in more ways than one, is the unerring focus on the personal attributes of the presenters by female viewers. There really is no end of drooling and these ladies let it all hang out, so to speak. There are no less than thirty five postings on the accent of Bargain Hunt presenter, Paul Hayes, one of which relates "One of...
Gaming is not just about revenue, addiction, gamers, and so on. A game being an expression of technology, developing cultural norms, and a world wide phenomenon that transcends all boundaries, becomes a source of study. Games are not mere toys, they promote: • Information literacy. Players download text files, make notes, they also take "screen shots" of the game and upload it with their comments. A group then examines the suggestions and discussions emerge on strategies as well as required improvements or changes. Knowledge creation and rapid sharing is common to digital spaces. People of all ages and ethnicities from around the world pool their understanding and resources to solve problems...
Many real estate experts are beginning to realize that the doom and gloom predictions about the market from a year or two ago may have been a bit over exaggerated. While the market is not booming, it certainly hasn't crashed and home value prices haven't plummeted, nor has the bubble burst. It is simply that, compared to the boom experienced by most markets over the past 5-10 years, the past year has seemed slow. Besides, knowing the median home value of the nation ($221,900) isn't going to help you too much when you're ready to move. With real estate being such a large investment, you want to invest somewhere that your home value is bound to appreciate over the years. Although we can't...

Will Long Term Home Ownership Lead to Profits...
The latest report from PMI Mortgage Insurance company looks at real estate trends. The report indicated that if you owned a home from 1986 thru 2005 in 50 of the largest metropolitan areas, you did very well.

The Biggest Secret in Sausages
In 1956, Fred Voll, a Master Sausage Maker, and his wife Kathe moved to Madison from Schweinfurt, Bavaria. Fred worked for Red Owl for awhile and then decided that he wanted to be free to make his sausages in his own way. He bought some land near Madison, Wisconsin and opened the first Bavaria chalet in 1961. His family recipes from the Old World and dedication to quality produced German bratwurst, knackwurst, nurnbergs, weisswurst, schnitzel, and many other authentic German specialties that would make Sergeant Schultz proud. The second generation of wurstmachers, Fred and Käthe's daughter and son-in-law, Judy Voll-Cottrell and Steve Cottrell, are carrying on the tradition, bringing with them a...
Voip - The Basics
This story is one of those too-good-to-be-true tales that actually might be real. The acronym VoIP stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol; that's the technology for making telephone calls over the web. Several companies have introduced services that utilize this technological capacity and they are making a commercial success of it. That's why major cable operators are now "bundling" cable service, high speed Internet access and telephone service in a package. They can provide all three products over the single coaxial cable wire that comes through your wall at home. Telephone service over cable blows right past the "level playing field" that antitrust decisions have sought to achieve in order to...
This word is a combination of the terms 'machine' and 'cinema' and it was created to describe an intriguing artistic form developed by computer gamers that also happen to be a new form of "modder". For years, modders have been adapting the structure of computer games – usually a first person "shooters" – to build new "levels." Most of these games are broken into sequences; what modders have been doing is devising their own level or "maps" that are, in essence, additional game content, presenting the player with new obstacles and new interactions with the villains. With machinima, these technicians have taken the process several steps further. They have dismantled the game's apparatus...

Biosphere Destruction
Global warming is just one example of the biosphere destruction that is happening in more areas than we can imagine. First a definition. The biosphere is that part of the earth, including air, land, surface rocks, and water, within which life occurs. In other words, the biosphere is the global ecological system integrating all living beings and their relationships. How long before we commit collective suicide. Maybe if we can get the truth out about what we're doing, we'll have a chance to survive 2012 as well. If Biosphere 2 showed or taught us anything, it was that we can't replace this earth, we can't duplicate what we are taking fro granted. So, how about waking up before it is too late? Then of...
A quick search in Google or one of the other search engines can easily yield dozens of images from everyday life, snapped on camera phones, small pocket-sized digital cameras, or high-end digital SLR's. In many cases, camera phone images are so blurry as to be of little value, but they abound in the wide world of the Internet, and as small portable imagery devices get into more and more hands, the sheer volume of electronic images just continues to increase. Some people ask the question of whether the digital photography revolution is necessarily a good thing. It is easier, faster and cheaper than ever before to capture memorable moments for later viewing. Because of this, digital photos often feel...

Milwaukee Schools Claims Right Direction
Schools come up with action plans every day. In fact, the Milwaukee Schools recently announced the adoption of an action plan that is designed to make its students competitive with some of the best schools in the country.
