CHICAGO - Gov. Jim Doyle reshaped the Wisconsin Legislature's budget repair bill, using his veto pen to increase the number of spending cuts and lower the level of cash reserves and tobacco refunding proceeds earmarked to help eliminate a $527 million shortfall in the current $57 billion two-year budget.
Doyle used his line-item veto to increase to $270 million from $69 million the level of spending cuts in the budget repair legislation. The governor restored a $125 million school aid payment that the legislative bill had pushed off until the next fiscal biennium begins on July 1, 2009.
Doyle deleted the Legislature's move to lower the required ending cash balance to $25 million from $65 million. Through the various measures vetoed, the state's ending balance is now expected to total $100 million, said budget director David Schmiedicke. The governor left intact the use of the state's $57 million budget reserve. The state for the first time deposited funds into the reserve earlier in this fiscal year.
Doyle made some technical changes to the Legislature's retooling of the pending tobacco bond restructuring, leaving intact the change that would back the bonds with the state's appropriation credit but lowering the level of upfront savings that would be dedicated to reducing the deficit to about $150 million from $209 million. Doyle left other measures in the budget legislation, such as closing corporate tax loopholes, to fully eliminate the deficit.
The reserves and tobacco proceeds represent one-time revenue streams that will contribute to the state's structural imbalance as a new budget is crafted for the fiscal biennium that begins July 1, 2009. The Legislative Fiscal Bureau last week told lawmakers that the state's structural imbalance - where ongoing expenses exceed recurring revenues - stands at about $1.7 billion, up from $800 million when the current budget was adopted last year. The imbalance grew because of sluggish revenue growth and rising bills.
Administration officials acknowledged as much, but said the governor sought to reduce the reliance on such moves through his veto pen, citing the restoration of the school aid payment, the increase in the ending balance, and the reduction in tobacco proceeds. Credit rating agencies have cited the state's narrow ending balances and lack of significant reserve levels as one of its credit weaknesses.
"The big thing for the governor was his opposition to not paying the state's bills," Schmiedicke said. "But at the same time when you face a $650 million deficit, you can't just cut, especially in these difficult economic times. And you can't leave just a $25 million ending balance."
The state earlier this year faced a $650 million shortfall, but the governor cut it down to $527 million by rolling over repayment of a short-term borrowing to the next fiscal biennium and ordering agency cuts. The governor had wanted to enact a hospital assessment tax aimed at leveraging $450 million in additional federal Medicaid reimbursements, but House Republicans blocked that move.
While the governor made some changes to the tobacco restructuring language in the budget repair bill, the Legislature's alterations remain largely intact and they represent a significant change from the plan enacted as part of the fiscal 2008-2009 budget.
The plan now is for the state to sell up to $1.7 billion of bonds backed by the state's pledge to appropriate the funds needed for repayment, although the state would use its tobacco settlement funds to make that payment.
The new proceeds would go to retire the outstanding $1.4 billion of bonds issued in 2002 by the Badger Tobacco Asset Securitization Corp. that were secured by the state's $5.9 billion share of payments from the 1998 national settlement between 48 states and the major tobacco companies.
Doyle, who was attorney general when the settlement was struck and a harsh critic of using the state's securitization to eliminate a budget deficit, had envisioned the restructuring as a means to establish a recurring use for the proceeds. Under the restructuring included in the budget, the goal was to generate at least $50 million in annual savings to go into a health care trust to pay for health-related and anti-smoking measures. The state named a financing team last October but the deal has been on hold as interest rates on tobacco bonds rose amid a flight to quality.
Capital finance director Frank Hoadley said the state of late had been considering the use of its appropriation pledge as a means to lower interest rates on tobacco bonds so that the deal could get done. "With the fall-off in prices on tobacco bonds beginning about a year ago, we realized we couldn't achieve what we wanted to and began looking at an appropriation backing as perhaps the best use of the state's credit," he said.
As part of the budget repair bill, about $209 million in upfront savings were allocated to close the budget gap, an amount Doyle trimmed to about $150 million. The state still would achieve the annual $50 million in savings for health care programs.

Ocean Fishes
Working in the tradition of naturalists such as John James Audubon and Louis Agassiz Fuertes, James Prosek reminds us of the role visual representation plays in shaping our perceptions of the natural world. He uses direct observation and imagination to render the subtle colors and forms of ocean fishes often hidden from our view beneath the water's surface. Prosek challenges us to think critically about representation and what we see. He writes, "I am not painting fish to represent a species in a field guide; I am painting an individual fish that I had a personal experience with, that I saw in the water and on the deck of a boat, in all of its living colors, with its mirror sheen reflecting the world around it. I am part of my paintings—if I see my own reflection in the eye of the fish, or a bit of my turquoise windbreaker on the sides, I will paint that in—I see each one as a self-portrait."
The beauty and limitations of taxonomy and classification systems are driving ideas in James Prosek's work. His imagined objects – both elegant and whimsical – exist outside the world of known taxonomy to remind us that the beauty and diversity of the natural world cannot be harnessed by any one system. Prosek writes, "What's in a name? Everything. That's because the way we name and impose order on nature shapes the way we perceive and treat it. If unnamed and unrecognized, animals and plants are ignored. They won't be lobbied for under legislation such as the Endangered Species Act and could vanish before we even begin to understand the implications of their loss."

These dark chocolate hazelnut brownies have a hint of treacle in the background, and extra nuttiness from a little added nutella. I usually prefer my brownies without nuts, but these are lovely. They are definitely more fudgey than cakey, for those that care about that sort of thing, and the nuts give a nice crunch.

Looks like an amazing place to see the cherry blossoms and a nice bit of history there.
Goryokaku Fort in Hakodate
I arrived in Hakodate on the night of the 5th. The next day was rainy, so I decided to take a long bus ride and visit Matsumae Castle.
Back in Hakodate at night I enjoyed the great night view from Mt. Hakodate (which I'll write about in a future post).
A day later the weather was a little bit better and I decided to visit Goryokaku Fort.
Visited: May 7th 2012
Goryokaku Tower is the first thing you'll see when approaching the fort.
Access is provided by bus and by streetcar. If you come by car please note that Goryokaku Tower itself doesn't have a parking lot, you'll have to use the nearby parking lots.
The Goryokaku Tower was originally opened on December 1st, 1964. However the new tower was opened on April 1st, 2006.
Fort Goryokaku in Hakodate
With a height of approximately 100m you get a nice view of the star-shaped fort (Goryokaku Fort, 五稜郭 = five-sided fortification).
It is a very popular cherry blossom viewing spot. I'm sure you can tell why by looking at the photos!
The construction of Goryokaku Fort dates back to 1853 when a US fleet arrived at a Japanese port. This historically significant event is referred to as the "arrival of the black ships".
Succumbing to the US's demands that Japan should open its doors to the rest of the world, the Tokugawa shogunate (徳川幕府) concluded the Treaty of Peace and Amity between the United States of America and Japan in 1854 and thus opened Hakodate Port for international trade.
Aiming to maintain governance over Hakodate, the Tokugawa shogunate instituted the Hakodate Magistrate's Office which promoted land reclamation and industrial development while fortifying the defensive capabilities of the area.
When the Magistrate's Office building was later moved, Ayasaburo Takeda (1827-1880), a researcher of Dutch studies, was ordered to design a new fort.
He built it modeled after European citadel towns. One reason was to be able to defend enemies more efficiently than with usual Japanese castles.
The star shape allowed a greater number of gun emplacements and also reduced the number of blind spots.
Inside of Goryokaku Tower you can see the fort's history told by miniature figures.
Ayasaburo Takeda with the construction plans of the star-shaped fort.
Discontent with the Tokugawa shogunate led to the Boshin War (戊辰戦争). Goryokaku is famous for being the site of the last battle of this war.
Eventually Goryokaku Fort was placed under siege by the new government forces. The turbulent period that marked the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and the start of the Meiji Restoration thus came to a close.
In 1914 Goryokaku Fort opened to the public as a park. In 1952, it was designated as a special historic site by the national government.
Star-shaped forts can be found everywhere in the world, but mainly in Europe.
Now that I know about them I hope to visit some once I'm back in Europe! ^_^
Got to love those thingies where young and old can pose for photos! Adorable!
Apart from a good view of the fort, the tower also provided a great view of Hakodate in general. Thanks to its location which is close to the port, the ocean was also nearby.
And some mountains in the background even had snow on the top!
I left the tower to walk around in the huge Goryokaku Fort Park which had cherry blossom trees all along the moat!
You could even take a boat tour!
As you can see the weather got worse – yet again. I really wasn't very lucky during that vacation.
The tower can be seen from almost every corner of the park.
They hung up the carp flags for Children's Day.
I love when I can take photos of cherry blossom trees with blue mountains in the background that have some snow on the top. My favorite one is of course Mt. Fuji! *g*
A bird thinking its king of the world?! *g*
Some people were having a picnic (hanami: flower viewing) despite the bad weather.
This is the Hakodate Bugyosho (函館奉行所): Hakodate Magistrate's Office
As mentioned earlier Hakodate's Magistrate's Office was established in Hakodate by the Edo Shogunate when the port of Hakodate opened under the Japan-US Treaty of Peace and Amity. The office was initially built at the foot of Mt. Hakodate.
That's the original one.
The repair project of Goryokaku was launched by the city of Hakodate with the recreation of Hakodate Magistrate's Office as its main goal. The archaeological investigation of Goryokaku was started in 1985. The building plan was carefully detailed on the basis of old photographs, documents and drawings as well as the results of the excavation.
The reconstruction of Hakodate Magistrate's Office took 4 years (2006-2010).
Inside there was a lot of information about the layout of the original office.
The inside looked relatively new, but still had many interesting things to explore.
Here's a good map that shows where other star-shaped forts can be found. Need to visit the one in Germany once I'm back home!
And there's also another one in Japan!
Have you ever been there?
The office on the left and the tower on the right.
For the tourists: You could dress up as warrior and have your photo taken.
Here's another good layout of the whole fort. Quite an awesome design!
It started raining cats and dogs and I decided to leave, but as you can see there were some hardcore Japanese people who tried to enjoy the day despite the weather!
I left the park to eat lunch and then went back to Central Hakodate to explore the area there a bit more.
More posts about Hakodate are coming up soon featuring Mt. Hakodate, the Morning Market, the churches and much more!
Stay tuned!

Cabooze and MJGPro Presents:
Circle Of Heat, Fat Maw Rooney
The Cabooze
917 Cedar Ave
Minneapolis, MN, 55404
Doors 8:30 PM / Show 9:30 PM
This event is 18 and over
With all four members having the distinction of being graduates of the University of Minnesota School of Music, Circle of Heat doesn't mess around. That doesn't mean they are pretentious by any means. On the contrary; they create a fusion of prog rock beat and jazz-style rock improvisation with a blues backbone and clean vocal harmonies. You never know what you're going to get, except for musicians playing at the top of their game. So come on out to a show near you to see real musicians do what real musicians do. Rock.
Like a hungry beast, Fat Maw Rooney has been devouring audiences for the past six years with their voracious live shows and powerful albums. Their shows are marked by intense energy, tight harmonies, and spontaneous creativity, which never fails to excite. While live energy is their trademark, songwriting is what keeps Fat Maw Rooney fans coming back for more. Effectively combining elements of blues, rock, and funk, the band continues to forge their own 'northern rock' sound. Old fans have come to expect Fat Maw to surprise them every time, and new listeners are left wishing they knew the words so they could sing along with the rest.
O'fosho has been bringing their brand of jam-based electronic blues funk to the Midwest for the last 3 years. With elements of blues, jazz,country,bluegrass, and edm, O'fosho looks to create a unique live experience shared by the musicians and audience. They have shared the stage with the likes of The Big Wu, Roster McCabe, SOAP,Kinetix, Gypsyfoot, Down Lo and have played at festivals such as Bella Vida, and Fiore, High Plains Fest, and the Big Wu Family Reunion. Look for their sophomore album to be released in the Summer of 2013 and a ton of more sho!s in a city near you!
O'fosho combines elements of blues and funk and mixes in a dash of electronic and bluegrass.

Some people can't stand it, others can't live without it.
Twitter turned seven on Thursday and with more than 200 million active users, the social media platform has no shortage of friends to celebrate with.
It's come a long way since March 21, 2006, when web developer and Twitter creator Jack Dorsey sent the first tweet: 'just setting up my twttr' (twttr was the platform's early name).
Now roughly 4600 tweets are sent every second.
Ordinary Australians have embraced the site along with celebrities, athletes and politicians, with results that have ranged from amusing to disastrous.
Our most popular tweeter is actor Hugh Jackman with about 2.18 million followers.
The Wolverine star is still a long way from challenging the world's most popular tweeter, Justin Bieber, who has a whopping 36 million followers.
The first Australian politician to join Twitter was Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young in 2007, but it was another politician, Kevin Rudd, who in 2011 became the first Aussie to exceed one million followers.
Mr Rudd remains our most popular public officer holder on Twitter, which isn't bad for a backbencher.
Other federal politicians who've embraced the platform include Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Environment Tony Burke, the opposition's Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull and Joe Hockey, Greens deputy leader Adam Bandt and independent MP Rob Oakeshott.
A growing tendency for MPs to abuse each other via Twitter has led to calls for a ban on tweeting in federal parliament.
Elite sportspeople have also muscled in on Twitter but some athletes are probably wishing they hadn't.
Stephanie Rice's homophobic tweet celebrating a Wallabies Tri-Nation win over South Africa in 2010 – 'suck on that faggots' – cost her a lucrative sponsorship with car maker Jaguar.
Former Wallaby David Campese landed in hot water and was forced to apologise last year after posts questioning why a female reporter should cover the rugby.
And the Australian swimming team's 2012 Olympics belly flop was partly blamed on athletes spending too much time on the site.
But it's not only sports personalities who are prone to Twitter gaffes.
Fairfax columnist Catherine Deveny was sacked for tweeting 'I do so hope Bindi Irwin gets laid' during the 2010 Logies.
The same year the Queensland Liberal National Party expelled 22-year-old member Nick Sowden for a racist tweet comparing Barack Obama to a monkey.
Queensland Federal Coalition MP Andrew Laming was castigated in January for a post suggesting Aborigines and Pacific Islanders involved in a violent race feud in Brisbane were only interest in 'welfare on tap'.
And Victorian Labor MP Steve Gibbons was forced to apologise last November for calling deputy Opposition Leader Julie Bishop a 'narcissistic bimbo'.
The outspoken MP found himself in hot water again for a tweet referring to Australia Day as 'invasion day'.
Companies aren't immune from Twitter fails either, as Qantas learned in 2011 when its #QantasLuxury campaign backfired spectacularly.
Instead of tweeting their 'dream inflight experience' users hijacked the hashtag with jokes at the airline's expense.
The red-faced PR team later admitted it was not the response it was expecting.
But the platform can also be a force for a good, as shown during disasters such as the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires and the 2011 Queensland floods.
Twitter was used by emergency workers and other organisations to get alerts and updates to people on the ground.
Twitter says about 35,000 tweets were sent in January 2011 using the #qldfloods hashtag and the site also connected flood and bushfire victims with people offering assistance.
The lack of a Twitter company presence in the country has been a source of major frustration for politicians and police inundated with complaints about online bullying.
But those frustrations might be allayed with the company tipped to open its first Australian office this year.
Exactly when is not yet clear. What is clear is that Twitter is here to stay.

HAMILTON (AP and WLWT) — A woman who already pleaded guilty to lesser charges in her daughter's death has been found incompetent to testify in her boyfriend's murder trial.
Our partners in Cincinnati, WLWT, are reporting Bradley Young pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, involuntary manslaughter and child endangering in Kinsley Kinner's death.
Authorities say crews found Kinsley beaten and unconscious at her Madison Township home in December. She died at a hospital the next day.
Prosecutors say Young beat the child to death.
Kinsley's mother, Rebekah Kinner, was sentenced in May to 11 years in prison. She pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, permitting child abuse and child endangering in her daughter's death.
She testified for the prosecution on Thursday. But on Friday, Young's attorney contended that the medication Kinner was on made her appear intoxicated and made her testimony invalid.
Kinner said she was prescribed Prozac and Lamictal.
Under questioning, Kinner admitted some of her answers to questions on Thursday weren't truthful.
"I know what he did and I saw it and that's all I want to get out," Kinner said.
Young's attorney made a motion to strike Kinner's testimony and asked for a mistrial.
The judge said that sometimes someone testifies untruthfully because they have an agenda, but that Kinner doesn't even seem to go through the process of having an agenda.
But he also said that Kinner appeared to be under the influence during her testimony, and then ruled Kinner incompetent to testify.

Before children, it was easy to get out of the house and run a few miles. Now, with the demands of a parent, you find it hard to hit the pavement even once a week, let alone a few times a week. How can you, between work and parenting, find time for the sport you love? Running with kids is not too difficult, as long as you have the necessary equipment and motivation.
Purchase a Treadmill
For those of you who have the means of purchasing a treadmill, it is highly recommended if you plan on running with kids. Since you may not have the luxury of a babysitter throughout the week, having a treadmill gives you the opportunity to fit in a few miles of running and still be around your children to watch over them.
Purchase a Running Stroller
A little less expensive of a purchase would be a running stroller for running with kids, especially toddlers and babies. This stroller gives you the ability to go outside and run and bring your children along for the fun!
Work Out a Deal with Other Running Parents
If you know friends who also would like to train for an upcoming race and cannot find the time to get in their mileage, why not offer to babysit each others children! You normally would be watching your kids anyways, and it would be great to have a support system from a parent who knows what you are going through and can help.
Running on a Track
Not everyone loves running on a track, but if you are running with kids it may be a great option! Usually tracks will have some sort of field in the center that is big enough for all sorts of activities. If the field is not being used, why not have your children play in the middle while you run around the track? They could play games such as capture the flag, tag or even catch.
Have any other ideas on running with kids? Comment below!

As many of you know, RPEC'S biggest fundraiser, our annual Dinner & Auction, is rapidly approaching. On Saturday, November 5th, RPEC's community of supporters will gather for an evening fun and camaraderie. Not to mention, attendees will have the opportunity to bid on some amazing items donated by RPEC supporters!
Nearly all the money spent during the auction will be channeled back to RPEC's programming. How often do you get the chance to treat yourself and/or your loved ones to walking tours, massages, vacation getaways, art, coffee conversations with famous Richmonders, gardening lessons, and much more, and know that the money you are spending is going to help build more peaceful, just, and inclusive communities?
The auction, and the funds raised at the event, play an critical role in sustaining RPEC year after year.
But the auction's success depends on donations from folks like you!
In recent years, donated "vacation getaways" have consistently brought in the most funds at the auction. This year, our pool of donated vacation homes has dwindled, and we are seeking new "getaway" donations from our members.
If you have a vacation home, or know a friend or family member with a vacation home who might be interested in donating to the auction, please contact us at email@example.com as soon as possible! RPEC is a 501(c)(3) and all donations are tax deductible. Your auction donation will allow us to continue and strengthen our work for nonviolence and it will give you the opportunity to demonstrate your support for the Peace Center's mission.
We are grateful to all the donors, supporters, and attendees who help make the auction a success. Thank you for continuing to support the work RPEC does in the Richmond community!
**Again, please reach out to us if you are interested in donating a "vacation getaway" by filling out the Items Donation form (ITEMSFORM2016.doc) and e-mailing the completed form to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please ask your friends or family members to consider donating as well, and instruct them to fill out the Items Donation form linked above and to send it back to firstname.lastname@example.com.**

The docks are one of the most beloved hangouts at camp and
kids love to relax in the warm California sun and take dips in
the lake.
Campers are given supervised free swim almost every day at camp. Campers can also sign up for dock activities which would include games such as water polo or the fun and messy game of greased watermelon. Free swim or what we call
"Swim Call" is one of the many traditions at Skylake and gives campers of all ages time to relax and take advantage of our large docks on beautiful Bass Lake.
Skylake Yosemite Camp is a traditional California children's camp located almost equal distance between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The camp is located in the Sierra National Forest on Bass Lake.

Cultural Representations of Higher Ed, No. 2
I am working backwards through this list. Here are films 301 to 350, which are, again, generally ridiculous.
The first post in this series, covering films ranked 351 to 400 is available at: https://academeblog.org/2013/07/09/400-films-about-higher-education-or-at-least-set-on-campuses-351-400/
The rankings are my own and in most cases somewhat arbitrary: that is, these are all obviously bad films, but I am not sure that I have the expertise to make fine distinctions in their degrees of badness.
The descriptions of the films are paraphrases of summaries found in a half-dozen print and online film guides. I compiled the list about a decade ago, and it needs some updating.
301. Johnny Be Good: a lame comedy about the cutthroat world of recruiters for big-time college sports teams.
302. Million Dollar Legs: a racehorse is the salvation of a financially strapped college.
303. Sweetheart of the Campus: a jazz band is the salvation of a financially strapped campus.
304. Hi, Neighbor: an entertainer saves a college by turning it into a summer resort.
305. Jocks: college tennis teams converge on Las Vegas; not much tennis.
306. Crazy Legs: a nerd becomes a triathlete in order to impress a young woman.
307. Beach Ball: a college band dresses in drag to win contest prize money that will forestall repossession of their musical instruments.
308. H.O.T.S.: rival sororities challenge each other to a game of "strip football."
309. Knockouts: sorority girls and biker girls face off in a wrestling match.
310. Campus Man: the struggle of a college student to publish a calendar featuring college men in beefcake poses.
311. College Kickboxers: martial arts with a campus slant.
312. Kick or Die: martial artists patrol a campus terrorized by a rapist.
313. Freckles Comes Home: When he comes home from college, Freckles discovers that gangsters have stolen his girl and the town.
314. Danger Woman: secret agents seeking atomic secrets pursue a professor.
315. Gotcha!: a college student on a European vacation gets entangled in espionage.
316. Skyhigh: vacationing college students find a videotape and then find themselves being pursued by agents from both sides of the Iron Curtain.
317. Exposed: in this confused political suspense story, Nastassia Kinski stars as a woman who is, by turns, a farm girl, a college student, a waitress, a pianist, and an international fashion model.
318. Soak the Rich: a college student falls for a politically radical classmate who despises her wealthy father.
319. Double Identity: a college professor turned criminal desires to reverse courses after falling in love.
320. Hold 'em Yale: neighborhood thugs try to find a "nice" girl a college boy.
321. The Dream Makers: James Franciscus is a professor who forsakes the ivory tower for a brief but fantastic career as a record company executive.
322. Get Yourself a College Girl: a music student is ostracized after her professors find out that she is supporting herself as a pop singer.
323. Geraldine: a college professor writes a hit song but almost loses the royalties to it.
324. Naughty, but Nice: a music professor becomes a successful songwriter for Tin Pan Alley.
325. Sweet Liberty: a film production of a professor's book turns a college town on its ear.
326. So Fine: Ryan O'Neal is a professor who forsakes the ivory tower for his father's clothing business and ends up inventing jeans with see-through backsides.
327. Breakthrough: college students, a CB radio, and evangelicalism.
328. College Swing: Gracie Allen inherits a college and invites her show-business friends to help her run it.
329. Collegiate: a Betty Grable vehicle about a playboy's being put in charge of a failing women's college.
330. Midnight Madness: an Animal House knock-off about an all-night scavenger hunt.
331. Spring Break: Animal House knock-off set in Fort Lauderdale.
332. Incoming Freshmen: Duck!
333. P.C.U.: an anything but p.c. lightweight farce.
334. Revenge of the Nerds: goofballs turn the tables on their tormentors.
335. Assault of the Party Nerds: an Animal House knock-off.
336. Preppies: college students on academic probation have to choose between studying and having sex.
337. Higher Education: a low-reaching comedy.
338. Frat Brats: wild sorority sisters get the best of other students who look down their noses at them (a trite summary but the plot is not Dickensian).
339. Dr. Alien: a curvaceous professor selects a nerd for sexual experiments with
340. The Party Animal: a college student makes a Faustian bargain for sex.
341. Doctor Detroit: Dan Ackroyd is a straightlaced professor who impersonates a gangster.
342. Stitches: medical students who are prone to hijinks try to force their dean into retirement.
343. Gemini: a garish film adaptation of the play, focusing on a college student from a workingclass family who is struggling to define herself sexually.
344. Illusions within Girls: a French film about a handsome professor who teaches sex education at a women's college.
345. French Bumpers: college students focus on inventive ways to pick up women.
346. The Seniors: college students decide to open a sex clinic and make a fortune.
347. School Spirit: a dead college student comes back to life for a day and tries to fill the whole twenty-four hours with sex.
348. Re-Animator: an adaptation of a story by H.P. Lovecraft, in which a scientist tries to resurrect the dead and turns his picturesque New England university into an ironic setting for the macabre.
349. Dr. Frankenstein on Campus: A descendant of the mad doctor is at the center of mind-control experiments at a Canadian university.
350. The Food of the Gods: a professor's experiments result in supersized rats that create havoc on his campus.

Was trolling around MSN Now when I came across this little tidbit of IDIOCY!!!
How in the hell are you going to get 2 DUI's int he same night and when did the police start letting people go within the hour?
Nice work IDIOT!! Like you didn't learn enough when you got arrested the first time.
It's quite a feat to be arrested twice in one night for DUI. It's All-Star levels of stupidity (and time travel!) to be busted on two separate occasions at the same time. Early on the morning of Nov. 4, police in Urbana, Ohio, helped 22-year-old Niles Gammons achieve the remarkable achievement. Gammons was pulled over at 1:08 a.m., failed a breathalyzer, was arrested, cited and released within an hour. At which point, clocks were turned back when Daylight Saving Time ended. Gammons was then pulled over — by the same officer — in a parking lot at…1:08 a.m.
He going to HATE meeting that judge!!

I am very sad about Bob Welch's death. Even before he died, though, I couldn't make sense out of his exclusion from Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's induction of Fleetwood Mac. Bob Welch contributed many great songs, vocals, and guitars to 5 Fleetwood Mac albums and tours. He really deserved to be included. It just doesn't make any sense at all.

Well, I have officially entered the last year of my twenties. I seriously cannot believe it. I still feel like I'm 23 (probably act like it too). I can honestly say that every year thus far has been such a blessing and so amazing, the good has far outweighed the bad. I am certain that 29 will be just as great 🙂
I was fortunate enough to celebrate with good friends and family the past few days. I enjoyed getting pampered by my mother and celebrating with some fun dinners out. I finally got to try this vegetarian/vegan restaurant near my house that I have heard so much about Avanti Cafe. The food was amazing, very fresh and natural. They had some pretty interesting options and takes on traditionally non-vegan foods. Other than the rather slow and unresponsive service, I was pretty happy with the place. I also got to celebrate with Erik and my girlfriends and Mesa. I had also been wanting to try this place for a long time. Strange that I hadn't been, seeing as their first place, Habana, is one of my usual spots. It was so cool inside, they have this huge opening in the roof making the modern decor feel more earthy. The cocktails were unique and delicious, and the food was very tasty. I definitely recommend it for a fun dinner out spot!
Enough about my celebrations, here are some snaps from the week and weekend…Cheers!!
Aaaaaand, here's my juice for the day, energy boosting and cleansing.

Steeped in the Past: Yerba Mate is More Than Just a Healthy Coffee Alternative
This is a guest post written by our friends at www.yerbamontana.com
Flavors can transport us, far beyond the boundaries of where we are or have ever been, to parts of the globe we'd never dream of visiting. A curry can land you in Thailand, a fresh crust in France, a lobster in Maine… eating any of these delicious foods with your eyes closed will take you right to where you imagine the best of that food came from.
After all, who doesn't like to imagine that their dishes are as good as they have ever been prepared? Sinking your teeth into something, though, is still an activity that's solidly rooted in the here and now, and it's the beverages so cherished by international cultures that are capable of sending you not only to parts unknown but back in time as well.
A sip of yerba mate out of a simply carved, comfortable drinking gourd sends me on a journey to the Patagonia's southernmost massifs, where European alpinists first sighted their prized granite spires, invigorating themselves in the doorway of a small hut before taking off up the walls.
Photo credit: http://www.afar.com/places/southern-patagonia-timaukel
From there, I imagine myself taking a break from the hot sun and hard work on a farm in rural Paraguay, drinking the cold-brewed mate drink called tereré, or in neighboring Uruguay or Brazil on the coast, watching the sails of the first conquistadores arrive across the ocean.
Mate has been a staple of South American societies' diets for at least half a millennium and means much more to people than just a way to get through the day. Virtually every picnic, conference, or celebration held in the Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, or Uruguay include some form of drinking and sharing drinks made with yerba mate, and their age old love of the product is rubbing off on us—thankfully so!
Today, one glance at the shelves of any grocery store tea aisle lets you know that we're not quite sure where the roots of our tea tree stem from. Black tea, green tea, coffee, and yerba are all available… I think many people would rather just skip the aisle altogether and grab a Red Bull from the cooler by the register, which is really quite a shame, because healthier stimulants make for happier people, and mate in particular is proving that we don't have to kill ourselves to wake up.
How Does Yerba Mate Compare With Coffee?
Apart from the caffeine level in mate, which is much lower than that of coffee or even tea leaves when brewed in a bag as a single serving, the drink contains well balanced levels of the cheery alkaloids we crave from chocolate and coffee, and theophylline, which has a soothing effect on the respiratory and circulatory systems. Yerba also boasts impressive amounts of iron, zinc, magnesium, and potassium, and especially when brewed cold, surpasses the healthiness of its competitors in nearly every way.
Don't think for a second that mate is just for health nuts, hippies, or hipsters—mate's availability is spreading rapidly, and people are finding that the ease with which it can be made, transported, and enjoyed appeals strongly to them. Mate also has a pleasant, slightly bitter flavor that goes well with any palette you care to mix it with, including fruit, mint, basil, chocolate, and dairy; I doubt it will be too long before commuters in the Starbucks' drive-through are switching out their hazelnut drinks for mate-mint lattes.
peruser, the mate gourd has a place, and its purpose is to wind back the clock just as much as it is to wind up the consumer. Take a second look when next you go to pull your PG Tips or Seattle's Best off the shelf, and try something different if you haven't. Not everything is for everybody, but one thing I can promise about yerba mate; your first sample will be like taking a taste of the big picture.
From the desk of a time cruncher to the chairside table of a late morning paper peruser, the mate gourd has a place, and its purpose is to wind back the clock just as much as it is to wind up the consumer.

Not everything is for everybody, but one thing I can promise about yerba mate; your first sample will be like taking a taste of the big picture.

"The sun at its apex: Dry gingergrass, litsea cubeba, neroli, frankincense tears, saffron infused honey, rosemary and the faint touch of true sweet cinnamon bark."
As a perfume, this scent smells very much like heavy lime/citrus right up front. It definitely smells "hot", like temperature-wise, if that's a thing, a great summer scent.

When the Darkness lit up the rock world with its debut in 2003 many listeners weren't entirely sure how seriously to take the British band's devotion to '70s hard rock – be that their love for crunchy guitar riffs and bombastic rhythms, or their fondness were arriving on stage in the skin-tight spandex, long hair and bare chests that defined many of that era's performers.
And, in fact, even the Darkness hasn't always been sure where they fall on the spectrum of dead serious to having a laugh.
"We're at our best when we're right on the line," says guitarist Dan Hawkins, whose brother Justin Hawkins is the Darkness' flamboyant singer. "When even we can't tell whether we've gone too far."
It makes them a perfect choice as one of the musical headliners for the Festival Supreme music and comedy festival in Los Angeles this weekend, but it leaves the band members torn at times, Hawkins says.
"I sometimes wish we were like an out-and-out serious classic rock band," he says. "And then sometimes that we were … not trying to do anything serious at all."
He and his brother might easily not have lasted the dozen years they've now been with various lineups of the band, having taken five years off after Justin Hawkins checked into rehab to deal with his alcohol and drug addictions, Dan Hawkins says.
"The word 'hiatus' only sort of came up when we got back together (in 2011)," he says. "To me, we split up. My brother, he's always maintained he always thought that eventually we'd get back together. I wasn't so sure. I so glad we did, though."
In the flush of success that came with their first album, "Permission To Land," and singles such as "I Believe In A Thing Called Love," the Darkness indulged every '70s rock excess made available to them.
"Everything was taken to the absolute extreme," Hawkins says. "All the Spinal Tap-isms came true. We're just glad to be out the other side."
Their new album, "Last Of Our Kind," is a strong return to the kinds of songs they created before it all went bad, this one featuring another '70s touch with lyrics that delve into the realm of Vikings and Olde English warriors battling for the British Isles.
"It's funny to me," Hawkins says. "The real draw to it was not really the Viking side of it, it was more writing about where we're from. Kind of mystical medieval tales, historical up to a point. We're from East Anglia and not a lot happens out there, so you tend to look at things that happened hundreds of years ago."
But the music is always played straight and true, he says.
"First and foremost it's always been the songs," says Hawkins, who produced and mixed the new record at his home studio. "It's pointless us having a song that doesn't have a really great riff."
As for playing Festival Supreme and sharing the spotlight with comedians, bassist Frankie Poullain knew about it and told the rest of the band it would be cool to do. Hawkins says they've played all kinds of festival dates from going on before a bikini contest to competing with foodies at a food and music festival.
"We're at our best when we kind of have to grab people's attention," he says with a laugh. "We're much better when we don't have a captive audience."

Innovation: Triple Pad Technology
Our new and advanced triple layer pad features three layers of protective defense. It starts with our pad, which is up to three times more absorbent than the national brand. The pad's fast wicking action draws fluid away from the wound to help aid healing. The additional padded protection cushions the area from everyday injury and will not stick to the wound. The second line of defense is an antibacterial agent using benzalkonium chloride, which kills bacteria and helps prevent infection. Finally, the pad is layered with a safeguard non-stick film that does not stick to skin. This perforated polyester layer allows absorption of fluids and prevents damaging new growth when removing. The non-stick film provides an easy, pain-free removal from the skin without interfering with the healing process. Together, these three lines of defense form an antibacterial, hurt-free, flexible bandage with long-lasting performance like no other.
Breathe it in. Extra Strength Nasal Strips
With patented and proven nasal strip designs, ASO ensures you are able to provide your customer with a high-quality nasal strip that provides an instant and drug-free solution for breathing problems caused by congestion and snoring.

|Leon Neyfakh
Like Chuck Klosterman before him, acclaimed journalist Leon Neyfakh (Boston Globe, New Yorker) details an obsession and ends up with a story about the modern intersection of art and life. In the tale of a white rapper named Juiceboxxx, who has risen from church basements in Minneapolis to a more complicated national career, Neyfakh finds a conflicted figure. Tracing Juiceboxxx's ascent, Neyfakh asks: at a time when everyone listens to music for free, will Juiceboxxx ever really make it? And what would 'making it' even mean?

This week, Samsung launched the Galaxy A3 - a mid-end handset that many would like to consider when it'll go on sale later this month. It is a new age device with full metal construction and will be promoted among the younger crowd.
The Motorola Moto G (2014) was released back in September this year. It has been a crowd puller, though, the specifications aren't that brilliant. If you have any plans to replace your old handset, the Moto G (2014) could be a nice option.
Recommended: Apple iPhone 6c Concept Emerges Online [IMAGES]
Here we take a closer look at how the Samsung Galaxy A3 compares to Motorola Moto G (2014). As a buyer, you need to know everything about these two phones. Stay tuned to GizBot for more updates!
Samsung Galaxy A3 Vs Motorola Moto G (2014): Design
Weighing 110 grams, the Galaxy A3 comes with a 7 mm thick chassis made of aluminum. The Moto G (2014) weighs in at 149g, and measures 11mm in terms of thickness.
The biggest difference between these two phones is the weight and builds quality. In terms of design and build quality, the Galaxy A3 is made out of light weight metal. The device does look appealing and feels nice.
The Moto G (2014), in the meanwhile, is still crafted out plastic. It isn't as pretty, but still looks cool and fashionable. Plus, you can remove the rear-back cover anytime.
It's hard to say which looks elite or is designed better, but the Samsung Galaxy A3 has an edge over the Motorola Moto G (2014) in terms of design and build.
Samsung Galaxy A3 Vs Motorola Moto G (2014): Display
It is evident that many users these days choose a handset on the basis of display size. The Samsung Galaxy A3 has a 4.5-inch qHD screen, with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. But then we have the Moto G (2014). It has a bigger 5-inch HD screen having a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. In our opinion, the Moto G (2014) is surely a better option, if you consider only the display size on the next phone.
Samsung Galaxy A3 Vs Motorola Moto G (2014): Software
The Moto G (2014) runs the latest Android 4.4.4 KitKat with customizable changes, while the Galaxy A3 runs Android 4.4.4 (Kitkat). Samsung's TouchWiz isn't much appealing, though the company has been constantly trying to add new features. The Moto G (2014) is bound to get Android 5.0 Lollipop update.
Samsung Galaxy A3 Vs Motorola Moto G (2014): Processor, Storage and Connectivity
Samsung Galaxy A3 is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core under the hood. While the included 1GB RAM ensures smooth navigation. You can get the device with 16GB or of storage, which further can be expanded up to 64GB via a microSD card slot.
Motorola Moto G (2014) is running on a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor. The handset offers 1GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM, which further can be expanded via a microSD card slot.
Both the devices support all major 4G, 2G, and 3G frequency bands. Both have 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and FM Radio.
Samsung Galaxy A3 Vs Motorola Moto G (2014): Camera
Both phones have 8MP rear-cameras. The Galaxy A3 comes with a 5MP front-facing shooter. The Motorola-made Moto G (2014) sports a 2MP front-facing camera.
Samsung Galaxy A3 Vs Motorola Moto G (2014): Battery, Price and Verdict
With a 1,900 mAh battery, you can rest assured that the Galaxy A3 will last on more than just a couple of hours. That's because the Samsung-made phone uses a low resolution screen. The Moto G (2014) comes with a 2070 mAh battery, but comes with a 5-inch HD screen.
The Moto G (2014) is priced at Rs. 12,990, while the Samsung Galaxy A3 is yet to go on sale in India.
Both the Samsung Galaxy A3 and Motorola Moto G (2014) will likely to emerge as the best mid-end phones of 2014, so you really can't go wrong with either option.

With Jesse Maxwell Perez, Jodie Quach, and Stanley Tsai.
Search engines are to find web pages on the internet, hence indexing them. The term "web indexing" is the process of finding web pages using a search engine like Google. Some search engines store the data on their own server or "corpus" (online storage of texts). Search engines not storing the indexes themselves use caches to save the information to their system. Caches, in regards to search engines are sort of like left-behind information of searches where the information is temporarily stored on a system or computer to facilitate and optimize future searches, because it retains some of the information. That is why some browsers recommend to clear caches in order for them to run faster.
Search engines use robots to literally scan web pages for relevance and information pertaining to a search that has been made. The easiest way to index, or find a page is simple HTML text. Because robots cannot scan through images for key terms as easily as tags for a blog post. When a web page is scanned, the information received in then stored in the index for future searches. An index is simply a database of information used for search. Ranking web pages on Google for example is the relevance of information towards the search terms as well as the traffic which the website receives. Web searches use very complex algorithms which determines the order of web pages on the index.
IP addresses can affect search engine optimization, it all depends on the shared IP address versus an independent one. Having a website that shares an IP with a popular, high traffic website will benefit your SERP (Search Engine Ranking Position). However, if you share your IP with a website which is slow and does not produce much traffic, it will affect your site indirectly. That is why there are pros and cons for both sides. Having your own dedicated IP address for your website means you are in control of how fast and where your site is coming from. That can be positive if you have an aptitude for website hosting, design, etc. However, competing with major corporations which specialize in website optimization and already have a high SERP, it will be difficult to bring your name to the top of the list as fast. Also security is an issue for both sides. Starting your web site from scratch, you need to implement your security yourself, whereas a shared IP hosting service may already have some security already in place. On the other hand, that shared IP may not have an adequate security as one you can develop yourself. As you can see, with any issue that may arise towards SEO, having either your own dedicated IP, or using a shared one, they both present good and bad qualities.
Keywords is essential to search engines. They are the main reason why your webpage is in the results of these searches and makes it possible to find your site. People use keywords to find websites that are relevant to the words. If your site contains the words, it is more likely that people will find your page. This will continue as search engines often retain previous searches for future searches. Using keywords in the tags is not enough, to maximize the use of keywords you must use them throughout your site. For example, in the titles, categories and of course, the content.
Search engines are becoming more effective in scanning webpages and like I mentioned previously, tags are not enough anymore, keywords must be used throughout the website in order to attract your intended audience. You can use these keywords in your html tags such as the title. The title html will be used as the title in the search results, When someone shares your link, the title tag will also be the title for the link and this title will attract people with similar interests. You can also use html tags to make your site more convenient for the users. By including links (the <A href=> tag), you can direct the users to different parts of your site making it more efficient and leaving a good impression for the user, encouraging them to revisit.
Robots.txt is acts as a protection online for information that you prefer some viewers not to view. It is simply a note that pops up before entering a site, to warn the viewer that a certain information will be shown. For example, when entering a website that contains inappropriate content, a message will pop up warning you that the inappropriate content is not appropriate for all ages, as it may involve nudity, violence or vulgar language. "You cannot prevent thieves from coming in but the good guys will not open to door and enter" (Webconfs.com).
By using tags and categories, a blog is more available and open for the world to search and evaluate. The use of an effective title cane easily vary the search results because each key word in the title will pop up. "When you begin thinking about a post's tot;e. you shouldn't select the most competitive keywords as your main keyword." This being said, you also do not want to have irrelevant post titles, tags, or categories because this will be harder to narrow down what your blog is relating to.
Mobile devices have come so far, but they do have their limitations when compared to their computer counterparts. Many mobile phones have limits when it comes to flash player, and as well as video playing. While using SEO on mobiles devices your searches and results are constricted to what can be seen using your device. Many phones, such as the iPhone don't allow for flash required files to play. These results, which may or may not be important to you; are pushed down past the ones that you are able to read properly. Although they are optimized to see what you need, not everything you could see on the computer will be there. Aside from the mentioned, there is not much different from the SEO we use on our computers.
Twitter is definitely and one of the largest users of SEO. The company itself, but mainly its users use the tweet system to their advantage. Companies, musicians, artists, all use twitter to promote their brand or work throughout twitter. Twitter accounts are made to tweet about their projects, what they do, what they stand for, and anything that relates to them. In turn, if these handles (usernames) become popular enough they show closer to the front page of search engines such as Google or Yahoo. Twitter is a platform fit perfectly for the use of SEO.

What happens when you know you can do great things.
But you don't fit within anyone's box?
I'm multi-faceted, highly-talented and if I was going to be a peg, I would be a half-hexagon, half-cube, with feathers on the tip. Oh, and I'd be yellow. Just like a cartoon lion.
That's the kind of peg I am – unique!
In days gone by people left education (those who went) and took up an apprenticeship. That was then their job. For life. That was it. Round peg training >>> this way >>>
Not only have apprentices become a lesser-known species.
A job for life has become so obscure, it is virtually extinct.
The days of round pegs are all but over.
Enter unique and original pegs, of every shape and colour. Most of which you have never heard of and are yet un-named.
This brings to pass an interesting phase in the world of corporations… and an increasing number of consultants, associates and small(er) businesses, fluid and forward-thinking enough to write job specs for people, rather than the other way around.
Who knows, this could be the beginning of the end of the rigid job spec
… and the start of a new way of recruiting. A way that supports people and their passions. Rather than trying to stuff them in a wrongly-shaped, ill-suited box.
In the meantime, my unique peg of a friend, here are some tips for achieving satisfaction through work:
– Consider working for a much smaller company. Small(er) organisations typically welcome diverse skills. They don't have budget for absolute wish lists of people and therefore appreciate you being able to wear a multitude of hats. Possibly there will be no healthcare or a pension, but they will not be so fixed on you doing one specific task. Can you exchange quality of life right here, right now, for life as a round peg with package benefits? Particularly as when your small(er) company becomes successful these things might become part of your future remuneration package.
– Look into permanent part-time options. It may be you can offer your services to five companies, who all hire you one day per week and that each of those organisations ask you to do something different for them. Giving you diversity of role and environment.
– Think about setting up on your own – either with your own business, or in partnership with other unique pegs. If between you, there are sales, marketing and finance skills, a product or service to offer and a vision of where to go with it you have the cornerstones of your own small(er) business.
– Take a part-time job, the minimum you dare and use the rest of your time to follow your passions into new avenues. Start having different adventures and see if you can earn some money along the way. When the latter overtakes the former in terms of revenue generation it's time to jump and do it your way.
– Create a video of YOU. Be passionate, be inspiring, be uniquely you. Put it on the Internet and see what comes back. Maybe the person who needs your blend of skills will be attracted to watching it (post it on LinkedIn if you're looking for work). If, as a result of gaining extra clarity on your own uniqueness during filming, you decide to do one of the above options, you have your first piece of marketing material.
In the words of Richard Branson: 'Screw Business as Usual'.

Amethyst, February Birthstone,Do You Know?
22.02.13 / Bellast Birthstones, Uncategorized / Author: bluegulf
Tags: Amethyst, austria crystal, February Birthstone
February will past in a few days. Do you know what's February's birthstone?
Amethyst! Yes, the stone with mysterious and luxury. The purple color and pure crystal material is the best part I love.
Amethyst is the birthstone for the month of February and the traditional anniversary gemstone for the sixth of marriage. Once considered more valuable than diamonds, this member of the quartz member occurs naturally as crystals within rocks. The stones are mined in Brazil, Uruguay, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Zambia, Australia and in the mountains of Russia.
Amethyst is purple quartz, which is silicon dioxide. The color may derive from manganese or ferric thiocyanate or perhaps from a reaction between iron and aluminum.
Amethyst was believed to help protect the wearer from becoming intoxicated. The gemstone is widely known as a symbol of peace and tranquility.
Amethyst was used as a gemstone by the ancient Egyptians and was largely employed in antiquity for intaglio engraved gems.
The Greeks believed amethyst gems could prevent intoxication, while medieval European soldiers wore amethystamulets as protection in battle in the belief that amethysts heal people and keep them cool-headed.[9] Beads of amethyst were found in Anglo-Saxon graves in England.
A large geode, or "amethyst-grotto", from near Santa Cruz in southern Brazil was presented at the 1902 exhibition in Düsseldorf, Germany.
In the 19th century, the color of amethyst was attributed to the presence of manganese. However, since it is capable of being greatly altered and even discharged by heat, the color was believed by some authorities to be from an organic source. Ferric thiocyanate has been suggested, and sulfur was said to have been detected in the mineral.

Are you searching for the ideal Medicare supplement Alabama plan?
As an independent agency we make it very easy to find the Alabama best Medicare supplement plans available. Ask for your quotes using our website and one of our agents will pull Medicare supplement quotes from the insurance companies and email them to you. Unlike many insurance sites on the Internet we do not sell your contact information off to a bunch of agents and companies. Let us save you a lot of time and trouble. It is rather simple to find the lowest cost supplement when you can compare Alabama Medicare plans all on one page.
Is Alabama Medicare supplement Plan F right for you?
Comparing Alabama Medicare supplements
It is important to recognize that all Alabama Medicare supplements are regulated by the government. Because they are so closely regulated, every Alabama Medicare Supplement Plan F provides the very same coverage as every other Alabama Medicare Supplement Plan F. When people compare plans they sometimes consider a company's reputation and financial stability, but the predominant means is ultimately price.
Finding the best Medicare supplement Alabama plan?
When first choosing a Medigap plan most people are likely to ask which Alabama Medicare supplement plan is the best? That can be a hard question to answer and is dependent on the rates and that person's needs. Alabama Medicare Supplement Plan F is by far the most popular with plans G and N second and third. To determine which plan is best for you compare the coverage provided against the monthly premiums. The more expensive of a plan you purchase the less you have to worry about medical bills having a sudden impact on your financial situation. It is a balance between what you will save and the risk you are able to take. If you are trying to choose between a Alabama Medicare Supplement Plan F or Plan G, total the yearly savings in the G plan and then subtract the Medicare Part B deductible. This is your savings for Plan G with the same coverage as Plan F. Alabama Medicare Supplement Plan G is frequently a better deal, but not always and not if you don't want the hassle of paying the Medicare Part B deductible the first part of every year when using your insurance.
Retiring or turning 65 in Alabama?
The ideal time to purchase Alabama Medicare supplement insurance is during your open enrollment period. This will start the month you are 65 or older and first start Medicare Part B. Open enrollment only lasts for six months. During this period insurance companies have to sell you a Alabama Medicare supplement plan regardless of your health with only a few rare exceptions. When you fill out the application you get to skip most of the medical questions and there is no underwriting. If you are approaching the open enrollment period go ahead and complete your application two or three months prior to it starting. It can take several weeks from the time you apply to the time you receive your insurance cards.
Alabama Medicare supplement insurance is yearly adjusted
Even if you get the Alabama best Medicare supplement plan on the market, it is still fairly likely that your premiums will rise every year. Every January Medicare is revised to compensate for inflation and other costs causing Medicare supplements to adjust as well. Some plans may additionally adjust dependent on your age or a community rating or when the cost of healthcare fluctuates. It is important to also understand that there are three different ways insurance companies use to set monthly premiums when you go to compare Alabama Medicare plans: attained age, issue age, and community rated. By far attained age is the most frequently used and in certain areas may be the only kinds of policies available.
- Attained age produces the lowest apparent premiums, particularly for people who just turned 65. Premiums increase as you grow older, typically every year, three years, or five years.
- Issue age policies derive their premiums according to the time of purchase not current age. They do not increase as you grow older. But, like attained-age policies, they will increase due to Medicare's inflation adjustments along with other Medicare changes.
- Community-rated does not use individual age as a means to determine the premium. Instead everyone living throughout a certain area is charged the same premium no matter what the age. The monthly premiums for this type of insurance plan will periodically rise because of changes in Medicare and inflation.
Will my Alabama Medicare Supplement be accepted?
It is very common for people looking for a Medicare supplement to wonder if their primary care physician will accept a particular plan or company. It is very easy to answer this question. Every doctor throughout America that accepts Medicare will accept Alabama Medicare Supplements. So simply call your doctor and ask if they take Medicare. Not only will you be covered locally but when you travel around the country. So if a doctor takes Medicare then you can rest assure that when you compare Alabama Medicare plans that your insurance will be accepted whichever plan you decide to choose.
