			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now a days, Most individuals are now using the internet to look for medical practitioners who can address their needs. So as a medical practitioner, your marketing strategy should not only be limited to giving flyers and the like but you should also get into the newest marketing strategy which is creating a website. Since there are already several practitioners who are using this strategy, you should ensure that you have the <a href="http://fiddlermedical.com/blog/medical-website-design-and-the-user-experience/"><strong>best medical web design</strong></a> so patients will prefer to make an appointment with you.</p>
<p>There are certain things that you need to remember to make your website one of the best.</p>
<p>1. You should make sure that you attract more traffic to your site. So use keywords that will make it easier  for consumers to locate you ones they make the search. Use SEO or standard optimization engines to increase the number of people who will visit your site.</p>
<p>2. With regards to the website design, keep it simple but having a professional look. You want people who visit your website to be convinced that you can offer them the best service and a clean yet informative website will help you achieve this.</p>
<p>3. Avoid using bright colors as this will not be pleasing to the eyes of those browsing your website.</p>
<p>4. Have a gallery where you can showcase pictures of your clinic and equipment you use.</p>
<p>5. You can also allocate an area where patients can ask you questions.</p>
<p>6. It is also essential to keep your website updated so regularly update the information in there</p>
<p>Creating a <a href="http://fiddlermedical.com"><strong>medical website design</strong></a> as well as updating it may be a difficult task if you do it on your own. Hence you should employ the service of medical website designers so all you need to do is provide them the information needed for the website.</p>

<p>Happy St. Patrick&#8217;s Day my fellow Irish men and women. It is finally here! I can&#8217;t wait to have corn beef and cabbage this <a href="http://surferjerry.com/travel/morning-glory-pool/">morning</a> for breakfast, go to the parade, and to listen to the Irish music. I miss listening to the Irish music every weekend like when I lived in the Chicago area. Actually this is the first St. Patrick&#8217;s Day that I haven&#8217;t spent in Chicago celebrating. Oh well, at least I will spend the day with some of my best Irish friends!</p>
<p>Stay safe today everyone. &#8212; &#8220;Erin Go Bragh&#8221;  </p>

<p>This is one of my favorite Irish song, I hope you all enjoy!</p>
<p>A story of emigration &#8211; an Irish folk song based on letters from a father to his son, discovered in a loft some 120 years after they were written during Ireland&#8217;s Great Famine. &#8220;Kilkelly Ireland&#8221; is by Peter Jones, performed and arranged by Ciara Considine from her debut album of April 2008 titled Ó Mo Chroí.</p>

<p>Wow isn&#8217;t this great? If only I could get my hands on just one of these One Hundred Trillion Dollar Zimbabwe bills. I could pay off the national debt, fund health care, pay off all American household debt &#038; still have plenty of money to live comfortably.</p>
<p> Then reality hits and you realize how sad it is that the country of Zimbabwe has to print One Hundred Trillion Dollar bills because their currency isn&#8217;t worth the paper it is printed on. I wold still like to get a hold of one of these bills though, it would be a neat collectible.</p>

<p>This alien looking object at first glance looks like a crashed flying saucer but in reality it is a man made structure called the Cactus Dome. </p>
<p>The Cactus Dome Was created at a cost of $239 million to cover the 350 foot wide, 30 foot deep crater that was created on May 5, 1958 as a result of the nuclear explosion called the Cactus Test. Underneath the Cactus Dome there is not only a large crater but  also 111,000 cubic yards of radioactive soil and debris from the nuclear tests at the Bikini and Rongelap atolls sites.</p>
<p>If you notice the black specs on top of the Cactus Dome, they are people walking on top of it. </p>

<p>Here is a <a href="http://surferjerry.com/weird/bizarre-bathroom/">bizarre</a> Presidential gift that most Americans don&#8217;t know about. The Grizzly <a href="http://surferjerry.com/funnyhumor/does-a-bear-sht-in-the-woods/" target="_blank">Bear</a> Chair was created by the great bear hunter Seth Kinman, who claimed to have killed over 800 grizzly bears in his lifetime. On September 8, 1865 Seth presented this chair to President Andrew Johnson. One of the great features of the Grizzle Bear Chair was that by touching a cord on the chair the head of a huge grizzly bear would come out from under the front of the seat with it&#8217;s teeth snapping and gnashing as if it was still alive.</p>

<p>The above picture is of Seth Kinman sitting in the chair that he gave President Johnson. If you notice the grizzly bears head is extended in this picture unlike the the first picture at the top of the page.</p>

<p>This has to be my favorite Great Pyramid pictures. It is part of the Library of Congress&#8217;s collection, reproduction number LC-USZ62-130867. It was from a 1931 Stereoscope called &#8220;The Graf Zeppelin&#8217;s rendezvous with the eternal <a href="http://surferjerry.com/art/desert-breath/">desert</a> and the more than 4,000 year old pyramids of Gizeh, Egypt.</p>
<p>The Graf Zeppelin was a German passenger carrying airship that was in operation from 1928 to 1937. It was named after the German airship pioneer Ferinand Von Zeppelin, who held the rank of Graf or Count in the German nobility. </p>
<p>During the 9 years that it was in service the Graf Zeppelin made 590 flights, covering more than a million miles, and spending the equivalent  of 2 years in the air. Part of that million miles was a 49,618 km (30,831 miles) 1929 around the world voyage that took 21 days, 5 hours and 31 minutes.</p>
