1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an X-ray examination apparatus which is tiltable and pivotable about perpendicular axes passing through a body or object being examined.
2. The Prior Art
Devices for selectively adjusting the position of X-ray sources and image receivers with respect to the body of a patient remaining in a fixed position have become recognized as having substantial advantages over devices wherein the patient was moved with respect to fixed X-ray apparatus. The newer devices are particularly useful in surgical situations and in new body scanning applications wherein transverse sections of the body may be examined with computer analysis of multiple X-ray transmissions through the section.
An X-ray examination apparatus is known in which an X-ray tube and an X-ray image intensifier are mounted on opposite ends of a carrier member having a semicircular bend or arcuate curvature. The carrier is supported in a support mounting to be movable or displaceable along its circumference in a vertical plane and is also pivotally mounted for tilting its plane about a horizontal axis lying in the plane of the carrier and passing through the center of the semicircle. In this apparatus, the central ray of the X-ray tube always passes through the center of the semicircle regardless of tilting of the carrier plane or displacement of the carrier along its circumference in the support mounting. Simultaneous examination of a patient on a table using two such X-ray apparatuses in two different planes of the body is, however, usually impossible because of interference between the two sets of apparatus. In addition, adjustment of the X-ray tube and receiver is restricted by the mounting of the parts directly on the curved carrier. For example, adjustment of the X-ray tube by pushing the carrier in the direction of its curvature is not possible, but rather the entire carrier must be moved.
Other apparatus is known having a semicircular carrier with an X-ray tube and an image receiver mounted on extension arms fixed thereto and extending from one side of the plane of the carrier. Such apparatus permits positioning of two such devices so that the central rays of the two devices intersect at a right angle without interference between the sets of apparatus. In such devices, however, the adjustment range of the radiation source and image receiver is restricted to approximately 45° in each direction from a vertical, middle position because the center of the carrier is not open but rather is obstructed by the supporting parts. Such prior apparatus cannot be used in a horizontal position without further swiveling of the holder itself.
Thus, it is desirable to provide an X-ray examination apparatus having an enlarged adjustment range.
An X-ray examination apparatus comprises a support mounting having an arcuately-curved guide track. A carrier member is arcuately curved in a plane and about an axis transverse to the plane and has a side engaged in the guide track for relative movement therealong. The carrier member further has arcuately-opposite first and second ends spaced by at least 180° along said member and an exposed inner circumferential surface. First and second extension arms are fixed adjacent corresponding ones of said ends of said carrier member at substantially a 180° spacing therealong. The arms extend transversely from the member on one side of a plane thereof. A radiation source is mounted on the first extension arm for producing X-radiation and directing same selectively radially inwardly on said carrier member and parallel to the plane thereof. An image receiver, such as a film unit or an image intensifier unit, is mounted on the second extension arm for receiving X-radiation from the radiation source after transmission through the body of a patient being examined. The support mounting and guide track do not extend radially inwardly of the inner surface of the carrier member, so that the carrier member may be swiveled in the support mounting in its plane along the guide track through substantially at least 180° without interference between the extension arms and the support mounting. The support mounting further includes rotation apparatus for rotating the guide track and the carrier member therein about an axis in a plane parallel to the plane of the carrier member and intersecting the radiation source and the image receiver.
FIG. 1 is a general perspective view of the apparatus of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a front plan view of a portion of the apparatus, partly cut away.
A support column or pillar 1 in an X-ray examination room carries a support carriage 2 thereon for vertical adjustment. As shown in FIG. 1, a support mounting 3 is carried on the support carriage 2, to support a carrier member 4. The support member 3 is rotatably adjustable about a horizontal axis 5 by means of apparatus carried within the support carriage 2. The carrier member 4 is arcuately curved through a semicircle of at least 180° and is supported in the support mounting 3 for pivoting or tilting about the axis 5.
Spaced 180° apart about the carrier 4 is an X-ray tube 6 and an X-ray receiver and image intensifier 7. These parts are supported on respective first and second extension arms 8, 9. The arms 8, 9 extend from the plane of the carrier 4 in the same direction and are fixed to a radially inward surface 10 of the carrier member 4 across an entire width thereof in the axial direction.
The carrier member 4 is formed with an axially extending rail 11 on each side surface thereof in the axial direction. The support mounting 3 is formed with a cooperative guide track 12 for aligning and retaining the rail 11 and carrier 4 with the support mounting 3. Other configurations, including use of an I-beam rail on one side only of the carrier 4, are also feasible.
The X-ray tube 6 is aligned with a central ray 13 thereof directed to the center of the receiver unit 7. The central ray 13 and the horizontal axis 5, about which the support mounting 3 and the carrier 4 are rotatable, define a 90° angle with one another. The arms 8 and 9 maintain the X-ray tube 6 and the image-receiving unit 7 at a distance from the plane of the curved carrier 4 so that the central ray 13 of the X-ray tube 6 always intersects the horizontal axis 5 at the same reference point 14. The carrier 4, which is substantially rectangular in cross-section, includes rails 11 raised from opposite lateral sides thereof. The rails 11 are received in a guidance groove means 12 in the support mounting 3 as shown. In the vicinity of the groove means 12, the support mounting 3 is provided with a plurality of roller bearing means for ease of movement and guidance of the carrier 4 relative to the support 3, as will be described later.
The supporting mounting 3 is unobstructed through the center of the carrier 4 and leaves the inside surface 10 of the carrier 4 free over its entire length. Because of this arrangement, the extension arms 8, 9 may be moved into positions adjacent the vertical center of the support mounting 3 and into a horizontal alignment with one another in either direction from the vertical. Thus, the central ray 13 of the tube 6 may be aligned or directed onto the patient 15 lying on an extension of the examining table 16 in both horizontal and vertical positions without having to swing the support mounting 3 about its axis 5.
Further in accordance with the invention, at least three sets of roller bearings 17, 18 and 19 are rotatably supported in the support mounting 3 adjacent the guide track 12 thereof. Each set of roller bearings 17-19 comprises three pairs of bearings 20, 21, and 22 rotatable on axes transverse to the plane of the carrier 4 for supporting the carrier in a radial direction via the rail 11. Three bearings 23, 24 and 25 rotatable on axes radial to the carrier 4 on each side thereof support and guide the carrier axially. This arrangement of bearings 17-19 insures that the carrier 4 is always supported by at least two of the three sets of bearings 17-19 regardless of the position of the carrier 4 along its circumference. That is, when carrier 4 is swung in the direction of the arrow 26 until the X-ray tube 6 sends its central ray 13 in a horizontal direction, the carrier 4 is supported radially by the bearings 18 and 19. Swinging the carrier 4 in the opposite direction to a horizontal position of the central ray 13 leaves the carrier 4 supported by the central and upper bearings 18, 17.
In the embodiment shown, the carrier has a total arcuate length of approximately 200°. Use of a carrier longer than 200° will permit a range of traverse about the horizontal at either extreme thereof.
Although various minor modifications may be suggested by those versed in the art, it should be understood that I wish to embody within the scope of the patent warranted hereon all such modifications as reasonably and properly come within the scope of my contribution to the art.

On August 18th our church is planning to baptize about 12 people. We will gather on the shore of the Black Sea at 8:30 am where we will hold a short service and do the baptism.
After the baptism we plan to head back to our church facility (about 15 mins away) where we will hold our usually Sunday morning service. This will include prayer for everyone who was baptized, their first communion and an exhortation from God's Word.
I will be preaching that Sunday, preaching to a dozen people who have just publicly made a statement of their faith.
This is a critical time in their young lives as followers of Jesus. I want them to hear clearly from God's Word, to comprehend the greatness of the salvation which they have received, to understand their new life in Christ, to grasp what it means to follow Jesus.
The responsibility placed on me to convey a message from God's Word humbles me in times like this. I'm not at all confident in my own abilities to communicate truth that is pure and un-muddied by the impurities of my own heart. I am however, confident that God can and does use the imperfect to perfectly fulfill His will!
Today I'm meditating and praying as I read God's Word. These are the questions I'm asking.
- What parts of the gospel do I need to be reminded of?
- Why did Jesus tell us to baptize in the first place, what difference does it make?
- What are the most vital truths for those who have just been baptized to understand?
- How can I communicate those truths in a way that will be clear, passionate and memorable?
- What does the rest of the church need to be reminded of and exhorted in concerning these new believers?
I'd like to have you help me in this process, so here are some questions you can answer in the comment sections below.
If you've been baptized:
- What things were said at your baptism that you found especially important or useful?
- What things were not said that you wish you would have known about?
If you've not been baptized:
- What questions might you still have about baptism?
- What is the main reason keeping you from baptism?

Boydton, Va. 23917

Team MitiGator sure is pleased with the MitiGator seating system in our race boat. We are currently in mid season of our 2009 racing year, and we have a couple rough water races coming up on our schedule. I was just thinking back to the Ocean City race in 2006. We were racing in 10'+ water conditions with a quartering sea (the worst) and we walked away from that race feeling great. I will never forget after that race when we got back to the marina, and found a line of rescue units picking up our fellow racers with severe back and neck problems. Some were so severe that they still have not been able to return to racing to this day, and we had no problems at all. The other thing is that we are racing with guys that are more than half our age, and we are still winning races, due to the fact that we can run the boat much harder and not have to worry about how we are going to feel after the race. In years past (before MitiGator) my wife would be standing on the dock after a race with a hand full of pain mediation asking how many of these do you think you need? Now she does not even carry any meds to the races, simply because she knows we will not need them. I also think it's cool that the other racers that have the MitiGator system in their boats love it. Its unusual that a racer will come up to you after a race and thank you for setting them up with a seating system that works and does everything it claims to do for the human body, (It keeps you safe).
A few weeks ago Mack Clark (the throttle man) hurt his back at home working on a building. He made an appointment with his Chiropractor. This doctor is a family friend, and he knows what Mack does on the weekends in a race boat. After a very thorough exam with X-rays he told Mack that he cannot believe that he is in such great shape. He told Mack to never race in that boat without those seats because they are working for him. He now has MitiGator brochures and hands them out to his patients that need to have a little MitiGator in their lives.
As you know we have a big race this weekend in Long Island NY. This race is the 2nd leg of the Geico Triple Crown, and we are currently in 2nd place in the points standing. I was watching the weather channel today (8/17/09) and they were talking about Hurricane Bill will be off the coast of New England by Sunday morning, race day. After seeing that I sure am glad we have MitiGator seats, because it's looking like a rough one coming up. I just wish the rest of the race boat was as dependable as Seas Systems, and MitiGator seats. Wish us luck, and I will keep you informed on the racing.
Thank you for everything you guys do for us.

The MitiGator™ Marine Products
The MitiGator™ system dissipates much of the energy of shocks/impacts and prevents that energy from passing through to the human body, thus reducing the level of injury sustained. Musculoskeletal injuries are an enduring problem for marine law enforcement, homeland security and military personnel in small high-speed boats.
Spinal and joint injuries occur from repetitive pounding over rough water, as well as in single impact events (ex. large wave at night). The US Office of Naval Research (ONR) has indicated that 66% of small boat operators suffer from boat induced injuries, 95% of which are musculoskeletal related. ONR reports that in its study, 75% of the injuries required medical attention, 18% resulted in hospitalization for more than a week and 20% report chronic pain as a result of small boat operations. At any given time, 16% of boat operators are unavailable for duty as a result of injuries. Marine law enforcement data is not available, but the injury rate is most likely higher because they operate twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.
Lower back pain costs Americans $60 billion per year in treatments and American businesses about $15 billion annually. For Americans, after the common cold, back pain is the number one reason Americans miss work. Across the country in 1999, more than 420,000 people missed work because of back injury. Each lost an average of 6 days on the job, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. For a first-time back injury, the cost of drugs, doctor's visits, and physical therapy can add up to as much as $10,000. But for more severe cases — the kind that result when a person is hurt over and over again — the costs can climb as high as $300,000 (Spine, December 1, 2001).
The MitiGator™ marine protective products are engineered to dissipate much of the shock and impact energy before it can be transmitted to the body. The MitiGator™ reduces the shocks felt by boat crews during boat operations by 30-80%. They allow crews to operate longer and more efficiently. Evaluated by the Navy, several marine law enforcement agencies and boat manufacturers and found to be "fantastic" at dissipating the energy of repeated impacts during hi-speed operations.
The system is effective against the repeated impacts found on high speed boats and has been shown to attenuate as much as 80% more energy than other systems. The products are made of materials that will survive in a marine environment. Studies have shown that the systems act as a vibration attenuating system as well. This reduces fatigue and pain, allowing crewmembers to concentrate on the mission or task at hand.
Please contact us for pricing for a cushion for your seat, bolster or any other needs.
The MitiGator™ can be used for many other application on board a small boat including suspended decks to dissipate energy before it is transferred from the hull, cabin/head padding, sensitive equipment protection, fenders, rub rails, etc.
See the related press release DOD Test Results.

Premier Performance Interiors and Sea Systems Group Offer MitiGator™ Hi-Impact™ Deck Mats for Boaters
The problem for all types of boaters (saltwater and fresh water fishing, recreational, occupational, racers, Poker Runners, military, cruisers, etc.):
- Musculoskeletal injuries are an enduring problem in high-speed boats.
- Spinal and joint injuries occur from repetitive pounding over rough water, continued vibration as well as in single impact events (ex. large wave at night).
- Advancements in boat construction and powering technology have led to ever-increasing craft speed and increasing numbers of reported impact injuries.
- A critical objective within a human-centered approach to boating is to reduce the incidence of impact injury.
- In 2000, the U. S. Naval Health Research Center conducted a comprehensive study of U. S. Special Operations craft crewmen. Of those surveyed, 65% reported one or more injuries that required hospitalization, with 95% of these injuries attributed to craft operation.
- The reported injury rate was nearly six times that of the overall U. S. Navy average.
- While the injury sites are numerous, trauma to the lumbar spine, at 34% of the reported injuries, is believed to be the most deserving of attention.
- A spinal injury is painful, highly debilitating, costly, and its victim often suffers for the remainder of his/her life.
- Lower back pain costs Americans $60 billion per year in treatments and American businesses about $15 billion annually.
The solution is to stop the impact forces from reaching the boaters body by putting a MitiGator™ Mat on the deck:
- The MitiGator™ Technology is proven to stop as much as 80% of the energy from vibrations and impacts from reaching the boaters body.
- A boat equipped with MitiGator™ Mats transmits only about 20% of the energy to the body.
- This is not your daddy's or neighbor's foam mat!
- The MitiGator™ Technology is an engineered cushioning system designed to protect people from hi-speed, hi-impact assaults and to allow them to continue to perform their jobs or enjoy their leisure time.
- The MitiGator™ Technology uses patented air control techniques working with 4,044 surfaces per square foot to dissipate energy before it is transmitted to the body and thus helps alleviate the problems.
- The MitiGator™ Technology reduces fatigue and pain, allowing boaters to concentrate on the fishing, the race or poker run or the objective.
- Extremely durable – laboratory tested to 1,750,000 heavy impacts with no reduction in energy dissipation.
- Superior quality construction by SEAS and PPI with a durable anti-slip surface that stays where you want it on the deck, convenient heavy duty carrying handle on portable units and it includes an industrial zipper.

Secret In Love Apps.
Discovering the ins and outs of sustaining love is crucial.
Do you frequently ask yourself if you're still pleased with the relationship? Do you frequently look back to check why you're with the individual you're with today? Do you feel that the relationship is bringing you down more that it's bringing you up? You might be in an unhealthy relationship and you might have to learn how to maintain a healthy relationship.
A sound relationship ought to have the accompanying qualities: A sense of respect for one another. Your partner ought to be able to give you the same respect he wants from you. This is honor for your identity, for your unequalled personality – your humor or the uncanny way you laugh. Likewise this means a sense of respect for your choices. Accepting your choices and comprehending it. Simply put, mutual esteem in a relationship implies that you value each other's differences and comprehend them, not attempt to alter the other individual's personality.
In This Book, You Will Learn:
* Relationship Basics
* Get In Touch With Your Own Feelings
* Understand How Your Fears Impact Your Responses
* Have Realistic Expectations
* Learn How To Take Responsibility For Your Part Of The Relationship
And so much more!

I was online stalking the #twitter feeds for #philliplimfortarget since 8:30pm PST last night for the possible "wee hours" 9pm PST/12am EST online launch until the full line launch sometime after 1:30am PST to nab these. So, a good 6ish hours of waiting at home on the #target website, I was fortunate enough to get a bunch of the bags for LESS than the price of ONE leather Phillip Lim Pashli bag. Not too shabby!
I had quite a time refreshing the webpage, checking Twitter, and checking the Target app to add and checkout the items as they slowly leaked/rolled out the bags. Apparel was first to start going live, and looking at Twitter, people were getting pretty antsy when 12am PST hit and no bags were live yet (save for the khaki Valise, which I passed on). FB@TargetStyle promised no specific time, so I wasn't "angry" like some online shoppers were when midnight hit and no bags went live yet.
I knew that shipping was free for purchases over $50, so I checked out pretty quickly after I added the bags that were individually rolling out to make sure they didn't go out of stock before completing the checkout. The only bag I missed that sold out in my cart was the Top handle cross body in black. It's okay, I'll "settle" for the Mini Satchel with gusset (aka: the 'accessible' Pashli) in black.
Reading Twitter and Instagram posts now show me how fortunate I was. I had no idea it'd be so crazy! Thank you to those who shared links!

Spotify Web Player wants Flash installed after the 1.4 update
Czarny last edited by
Sooo, today I've installed the 1.4 update and Spotify Web Player suddenly started giving me 'must install Flash in order to work' message. Yesterday, on 1.3, everything worked like a charm. I thought that Flash support was inside Chromium? Attachments: [img]https://forum.vivaldi.net/uploads/attachments/62917/spotifyflash.PNG[/img]

Hi there,
Do you have any problem playing video on Youtube or other sites?
After updating to the newest Vivaldi 1.4, I have problem playing video on Youtube, twitter, etc.
There are two vivaldi:flags that may affect this: software rendering list, and hardware-decode. For all I know, there may be more, but try one or both of these.
First, though, just check your menu/tools/plugins to make sure flash player is listed and enabled.

I can only confirm that works for me with 1.4 stable, win7 32bit, flash 126.96.36.199
Czarny last edited by
Okay, I did what you told me to do, nothing worked. And I think I didn't make myself clear; I don't have Flash installed, nor did I have on Vivaldi 1.3, and the Web Player managed to work. I'd rather still use Vivaldi, without having to install this relic of a fallen ancient civilization or other browser. Do you think this can be helped or am I missing something?
Developers are investigating and working on the bug. There are only a small minority of systems affected, but backstage, at least one hardware configuration that has the problem has been identified, and work is ongoing.

I can confirm that this is happening, and it wasn't a problem for me before. Can we look for it in the changelog in the future?

It gives me that message with Vivaldi, Firefox, and MS Edge without Flash enabled.
I don't enable/install Flash because I don't want a program that has over 300 vulnerabilities found and patched per year on my computer and exposed to web sites. It's just not safe enough to justify having around.
At this year's Pwn2Own, they successfully attacked Chrome, but it required four vulnerabilities. 1 in Chrome, 1 in the Windows kernel, and 2 in Flash. If the user had Flash disabled, it wouldn't have worked.
So much for "We can make it safe to use with Chrome.". Bleh. I hope Vivaldi never integrates it.

I have yet to see a single person affected by a flash player vulnerability.
99.9% of the real world flash player related issues are related to "social" hacking, where the users are fooled to download a fake flash player installer.
Personally I'm not going to install the flash plugin on a server or a client machine dedicated to very sensitive roles, but on a normal user's PC flash videos just works way better than HTML5 and, unlike the latter, can be easily enabled and disabled at will, sparing data on limited data bundles and computational power on lower end PCs.
Just to be clear the above is my personal experience and opinion, hand has nothing to do with any Vivaldi official position.
I have the same issue with youtube , html5 player does not work …
After many testing to try resolve the issue it seems to be linked to hardware acceleration, i used to have vivaldi launched with " –disable-gpu " command line … after some tests removing this command allows me to play youtube videos in html5 ...
Never had a problem before an upgrade of vivaldi some times ago, not sure how to bypass this for now, i don't want the gpu acceleration on vivaldi and still want to get html5 player working on youtube ...
Edit: using the x64 version of the dev branch 1.4.589.4 but happens since a couple of builds.
Case last edited by
BTW, I had the problem with YouTube HTML5 player not working and sometimes falling back to Flash (and sometimes throwing an error instead) and in my case it was due to having HW acceleration disabled via this semi-hidden setting:
Re-enabled and it seems to fix the problem.
Thank you, I checked and this setting was enabled, had difficulties to find it at start as apparently launching the browser with –incognito command does not displays this page for this setting
If I disable it i end up with videos not working on youtube, same result as launching the browser with –disable-gpu command …
Problem is that i don't want the browser to use the hardware acceleration, at all , my cpu is fast enough to take care of this without having my gpu frequencies bumping each few seconds up and down for nothing like it is the case with most gpu accelerated stuff, no gain just annoyances imo.
With Opera Browser –disable-gpu still works fine of youtube so it must be something internal to Vivaldi and how it uses hardware acceleration for videos decoding.
Today's update seems to have fixed the problem, html5 work again with disable-gpu switch enabled
Thanks a lot for the fix.

Hello everyone, my name is Angela Nettuno, and I'm excited to be a new member of sixtysecondparent. I'm a former elementary, kindergarten, and preschool teacher, president/founder of Bear Hugs and Butterfly Kisses, wife, and mom of two amazing teens! On my site I share my passion and knowledge of child development! My mission – To help parents and caregivers understand their child's developing mind and body so that they can truly enjoy every day with their little miracle(s)!
At Bear Hugs and Butterfly Kisses we love babies and children and are fascinated with their growing minds! We believe that when instruction and products are developmentally appropriate, learning is fun!
By Developmentally Appropriate, we simply mean that toys, educational products, and instruction are designed to directly correlate with the child's current physical, social, and cognitive developmental abilities.
Well known psychologist Jean Piaget believed that early learning progresses from concrete to abstract thought. Since a baby or young child learns about his world by manipulating toys or objects using his senses of sight, hearing, and touch, programs that attempt to teach abstract abilities that seem "too good to be true," probably are. In the long run the child will probably not be proficient in the desired area because the brain was not capable of truly understanding what it was being asked to do.
Physical development follows a specific order of events as well. Since development progresses from gross motor (large muscles) to fine motor (small muscles such as fingers), we wouldn't expect a baby to write before he can walk. Generally, if the activities that we are expecting the child to perform are ahead of his developmental calendar they will not only be ineffective, but will cause frustration for both mother and child. When instruction and products are developmentally appropriate the frustration is removed and learning is fun!
Babies and children learn best through "play." It's our best kept secret as educators! Their little bodies should be running, jumping, kicking, climbing, and throwing. Their hands should be manipulating objects by pushing, pulling, building, dismantling, shaking, throwing, collecting, and feeling. These activities help children develop the thinking skills which are prerequisites for the academic skills needed for Reading and Math.
Last but not least, it's important for parents and educators to understand that learning is most effective when the baby or young child is familiar with the subject and can be actively engaged throughout the learning process. Parents, teachers, or caregivers who follow the child's lead are the best facilitators of brain and language development. Watch to see what he's interested in by looking at his eyes and body language. For example, if he's looking toward the garden, focus on what he seems most interested in and expand upon it. For example, a mom notices her baby is looking toward the bush with blooms on it and says "Look at that pretty yellow flower growing on the bush. It feels sooo soft!' (taking baby over to feel it for tactile as well as visual stimulation).
In conclusion, babies and young children learn about their world through their senses and experiences. When a parent takes their child out into the world, social, brain, and language development are all happening simultaneously as he interacts with new people and sees new places. In addition, allowing him to explore by manipulating toys and objects using his senses, and by moving, moving, moving in appropriate ways, will stimulate his brain to it's capacity! So keep him busy moving and exploring moms, and he will be happy… because when baby is happy, mommy is happy! Enjoy the journey!

text: And the only reason we didn't let her is because easy child was trying to sleep. We didn't want the police to keep her awake. But, husband and I decided that we are done. If she tries again we will not be stopping her. We are so done with her and all of this. She obviously does not want to get better. And if that is the case, why should we bother spending all of this time and money trying to help her? I am just so angry and disappointed. I know this is going to be a long battle, and expect problems, but I hate all of the conflict and drama. I just want some peace in my house.

Prescription opioid addiction is the #1 health epidemic.
Fact: More people died of a drug overdose than guns and traffic accidents; the majority were opioids reports the U.S. CDC

Absente (Absinthe Refined) is the brainchild of Michel Roux and was the first Absinthe like product when it hit the market in 1999, and at 110 proof is the chemically closest reproduction of the infamous 19th century liquor. This product was notorious for its popularity among artists of its day such as Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Degas, as well as poets like Oscar Wilde and Edgar Allen Poe. It was believed that Absinthe assisted in getting the "creative juices flowing" and as with its predecessor, Absente Refined has commissioned some of the most influential contemporary artists to incorporate Absente Refined into original works of art. These "Green Fairy Inspired" works created by artists such as Ron English, Romero Britto, Burton Morris, as well as many others, are for sale in poster and T-shirt form. For anyone who knows someone hip, artistic, and who can appreciates a creative and artistic experience, Absente Refined and its artwork make the perfect gift available exclusively at Absolute Americana Art Gallery.
Grande Absente (Absinthe Originale) was introduced to the American market in 2007, created with the legendary botanical Artemisia Absinthium and boasts an alcohol content of 138 proof. Created with only the finest ingredients from Southern France, a brand of this magnitude could only be represented by the finest artistic campaign. Artist extraordinaire, John Pacovsky has used his full range of talent creating his version of classical artwork and incorporating the bottle of Grande Absente within the art piece. These 120 amazing productions are an homage to some of the most recognizable paintings in world, emphasizing the relationship and harmony between fine art and Grande Absente. Some posters are available through Absolute Americana Art Gallery and more will be added continuously, so put down the brush and come check out something truly unforgettable, and always drink responsibly.

Pick your jaws up off the floor, it's time for my review of Ressha Sentai ToQGer Station 41: 'The Christmas Battle'!
In case you forgot, last episode we found out that Castle Terminal is sitting right smack on the face of Pleiades' Shore.
While in shock, the ToQGers are whisked away to safety by the Rainbow Line. Akira figures out that this, this is their rainbow. Even if it's currently a painbow.
Whaddya know, both Mork and Nero survived. Mork tells Nero that the reason that Castle Terminal showed up topside because of both the darkness drought and that Zed is a darkness-hating dingleberry clinging onto his nightlight that she has told him over nine thousand times to get rid of so help her and now they're gonna do something about it.
On the Rainbow Line, the ToQGers try to get The Conductor to turn the train around, home is the other way what are you doing and The Conductor tries to get them to chill out because It's Dangerous to Go Alone and We Need a Plan.
Grita tells them that the house that fell on their witch is Castle Terminal and she doesn't know why it's there.
Everyone is about to storm off anyway when the train is practically ran off the rails by Schwarz. They decide to play it smart and see what he wants, also to finally deliver Grita's message to her bae.
Schwarz and Zaram roll up and demand Zed, but Mio interjects with Grita's message of basically 'Would you just stop? If I leave it will be Not Good and if I could, I would, but I can't, so calm down.'
Schwarz decides to disregard her message because of reasons and attacks the ToQGers, which they deflect by transforming and it's time to d-d-d-duel.
Tokatti and Hikari fight Akira even though they don't want to, but Akira tells them that this is what he wants, so just hit him, no hard feelings.
During the battle, Mork and
Mindy Nero run into Grita. As Mork threatens her, she reverts back to Zed. They try to stand up to him, but he's not having any of that and thrashes them.
Zaram sees Zed and charges forward, Zed taunting him by transforming into 6-gou and they fight. As Zed!6-gou is about to deliver the final blow, Right stops him.
This offends Zed, because they were supposed to be looking out for him, and really, if you can't trust your enemy's enemies, who can you trust?
Right goes off on Zed for using 6-gou because Akira is 6-gou and just because you can use it doesn't mean you get to. He goes Hypers and clashes with Zed, the combined shockwave of their manly punches de-transforming them both, sending 6-gou's items flying. Right dashes to collect them before Zed.
Back in the fight with Schwarz, the others get the shit and transformations knocked out of them, sending them flying to the ground. Schwarz sees Zed and crashes into him, sending him flying off the ridge.
Schwarz pursues, intent on freeing Grita. Zed guarantees that he's not gonna win, Schwarz admits that he's not here to win, just be a distraction for Noire. She stabs him in the back, declaring that she will take her daughter back.
Zed blows them both back with a wave of darkness, Gritta appearing above him. Noire throws her afghan at Grita, releasing her and apparently giving her a new body because I'm pretty sure her old one was destroyed/turned into feathers and you can't come back from being feathers, but I'm no alchemist.
Noire and Schwarz are relieved to see Grita free. Schwarz is rewarded with a mortal wound for his efforts. Zed goes to Noire, complimenting her on her scheme and she thanks him for not killing Grita but tbh, he probably couldn't anyway. He responds by killing her.
As Noire dies, she taunts Zed again about being too late in killing her and says goodbye to her daughter. She becomes a mass of black feathers and fades away.
Grita mourns her mother while Zed is overcome with darkness and his Shadow form levels up. I wonder if he's gonna have more forms than Frieza?
The ToQGers, watching this whole time, are stupefied by Zed's new form. Mork and Nero come back (Again? They still aren't pushing daisies?) and Mork is chuffed by Zed's evolution and he wants nothing to do with it, this is like the exact opposite of what he wanted, like can he have any shine of his own, gosh.
Reaching out for Grita, Zed is stopped by Schwarz. Schwarz takes one last shot at Zed, knocking him back. He thanks Grita for saving him and repays the act by sending her away to safety on a Darkliner.
Zed retaliates by striking Schwarz repeatedly, Schwartz admitting that he may not have been able to defeat Zed, he still won. He's got a shine and you don't. you pompous dick. Zed delivers a final blow, Schwarz laughing as he fades away.
Mork runs to Zed's side, complimenting his darkness, this is what she was telling him, look at how powerful he could be, stopping all that shining nonsense. Zed complains that all he ever gets is darkness, is sick of it, and lashes out like Mork just took away his Linkin Park CDs.
This only causes more darkness and Castle Terminal starts to sink. Akira concerned about the ToQGer's rainbow, goes to stop Zed, seemingly destroying himself, not stopping Castle Terminal's decent.
The ToQgers rush to the edge, fearing the death of their friend. They hear groaning and look down to see human!Akira at the bottom, getting up.
Akira apologizes for not stopping Zed before climbing up. He moves away from the others before they all crowd him, crying and hugging him. They tell him that they're not crying about being sad, they're crying because they're happy he's alive.
He wonders why they're not sad about Pleiades' Shore, and they tell him that while it yeah they're sad about home, right now, they're more happy that he's okay and tell him that he better not leave them again because it hurts and they miss him a lot. That's probably what you felt back with Schwarz.
Akira's internal monologue is interrupted by a mass invasion of Darkliners errupting from the ground. Right offers 6-gou's items back to Akira, asking him to fight alongside them again.
Akira takes them, admitting that he's unsure if he missed them, but damnit he's pretty happy now. He rips off that smelly old bandana and they all henshin together, just like old times, to battle the oncoming horde.
Right goes Hyper again and they summon the expresses, forming ToQ-Oh, Diesel-Oh, Build Dai-Oh, and Hyper Express Emperor. The Darkliner Robo march toward them and the ToQGers get to work.
As they work their way through the horde, they slowly bring together all of the robo, eventually into ToQ Rainbow.
ToQ Rainbow takes out the last Super Darkliner Robo and the final group of Darkliner Robo with ToQ Rainbow Slash.
As they celebrate, Right vows to get their home back.
Akira pays his respects to Schwarz before heading back to the Rainbow Line (OMG HE'S GOT THE JACKET BACK OMG). When he boards, it's dark save for the Christmas tree and the candles everyone has.
Tokatti gives Akira an orange candle for himself and a black one for Schwarz. Mio places one for Grita in the window. Akira puts his hat back on and they all gather around and sing together while it begins to snow.
Back in Castle Terminal, Zed looks up at the Secret Base and sees the black around him.
On the Rainbow Line, everyone's noticed the snow as The Conductor, Ticket and Wagon come in dressed festively to celebrate the holiday! Wagon brings out a cake and probably finished decorating while everyone changes into adorable Christmas outfits (OF COURSE RIGHT IS A CAKE. OF COURSE.) They welcome Akira back properly and toast each other and the holiday as the train takes off like Santa in the night!
Final Review
Friends, we made it. The finale of the 'Christmas Trilogy' as I'm calling it! We deserve a reward for making it through this rollercoaster of feels. A feelscoaster, if you will.
I keep thinking that with every whammy this series drops that yes, this, this is the climax, that this where things have peaked. And then, I'm proved wrong. Again.
As a sucker for a good redemption story, it's nice to see both Noire and Schwarz find their respective shines. Granted, they by no means became 'good' but they still get their redemptions through Grita. I also love that they ended up showing up Zed by earning their own shine and not trying to steal someone else's. There's a lesson in there somewhere, I know it!
HOW ABOUT THAT ENDING THOUGH? I get feels through the majority of the episode, then they're pretty much overshadowed by a ol robot fight and silly-cute Christmas costumes. LOVE IT.
I give this episode 4.8 glittering Christmas candles out of 5.
This is Amber/pan2dapan leaving the station!

Here's this week's question:
Q: I'm 51 and have dieted all my life since my teens now I just can not get my head around going on a another diet or trying anything to lose weight and I am the most overweight i have ever been.
Thanks for the question.
Many of my clients who come and see me at my clinic have "diet fatigue". They're just exhausted from going on diet after diet.
They are sick of getting all hopeful and excited for a few days or a week, but then coming back crashing down to earth when they realise that the new diet is not the magic solution they hoped it would be.
There are two things that would be useful for you to consider at this stage:
Is another diet going to make any difference?
Most diets you will have tried, involved you doing things you hated, sacrificing things you loved, and sticking to plans that you realistically would only be able to manage for a few weeks, tops.
This sort of approach is doomed to fail.
Rather than look for another diet and hope against the odds that this one will work, it's time to try a different approach to losing weight.
Here is a different way to look at weight loss:
1. Don't make any drastic changes.
Rather than overhauling your entire life, stick with what you usually eat, but make some small changes. Nothing major.
The one I usually recommend to clients to begin with, is to cut back portion sizes by 5 – 10%.
5% is NOTHING. It should be barely noticeable. But it's a start. And you can build on it.
2. Keep adding small changes.
The ideal weight loss plan is one that feels like you're not doing enough.
Aside from from continuing to cut back on food portions, look for other ways to cut back your eating in ways that you barely notice.
For example: removing food from your line of sight (for example on your desk at work) makes you eat less, but you don't notice it. (There's plenty more things you can do like this)
3. Allow yourself to indulge
You have to be able to go out, eat foods you love and enjoy life. This is crucial.
Learning how to do this without over-eating is a crucial skill. But if you can do this, it definitely won't feel like a diet
4. Be patient
Most diets promise lots of weight loss in no time at all.
But if you can be comfortable with NOT needing to lose 10 pounds in 10 days, life will be a lot easier.
The fact is, after 40, it becomes harder and harder to lose weight quickly. But that's OK, if you're patient and stay the course.
5. Keep going no matter what
If you keep making small changes and keep going no matter what, then you will see amazing results that hardly seemed achievable before.
So there is a plan that you can follow, that won't feel like any of those other diets you've been on. But first you need to get into a frame of mind to feel motivated to take action:
What are your alternatives?
I can understand the diet fatigue, but you have to face the question: what are you alternatives?
As it stands, you can either avoid doing anything about your weight, in which case it will keep rising and your problems will compound.
This is not really an option is it? (And you wouldn't be asking me a question on here (or reading the answer) if you were realistically thinking of doing nothing)
OR you can decide to take action, but do it gently, and take the pressure off.
Perhaps all this time, you've been in a hurry, and put pressure on yourself to lose 10 pounds in 10 days. How about being more gentle with yourself, and taking it easy.
You will be able to get there, but you can do it without the self-blame and the pressure. Why not try it?

Lionel Miskin
He was the gentlest, funniest, most interesting person we had ever met. He would breeze into class, draw a brilliant portrait or two and regale us with tales of "Lionel's war", which included visits to a neutral Dublin where he claimed the restaurants were full of German officers.
He had been at Cheltenham college with Lindsay Anderson and Gavin Lambert, and when Lindsay made his brilliant film If ... the lead, Malcolm McDowell, was the spitting image of Lionel, Lindsay's life-long friend.
His home in Mevagissey, with his wife Pru, their three sons and Labrador Picasso, was a focal point in a community of writers and artists. He was a draughtsman of great depth and skill, also a painter, writer (his novel The Pantechnicon was published in 1969), potter, etcher and filmmaker (for the Arts Council). Later he became head of department at Falmouth art school.
When he later moved to Cyprus to bathe in the warm sea, he produced sumptuous drawings of the landscape there. On returning to England, he and Pru settled in Bovey Tracey, and he continued to work to within a couple of months of his death.

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has a broken thumb, Titans QB Matt Hasselbeck is dealing with an injured right arm, and Vikings running back Adrian Peterson has a high left ankle sprain.
Those three stars were injured in games Sunday, placing their status in doubt not only for next weekend's games, but for a longer term.
Raiders receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was feeling better a day after being carted off the field with his neck stabilized after the scary collision with Minnesota linebacker E.J. Henderson.
Cutler will undergo surgery on his right hand, a major blow for a team contending for a playoff spot in the NFC. Coach Lovie Smith said Cutler will be out "for an extended time" but expects to get him back this season. He would not say when the surgery would take place, just "hopefully fairly quick" and provided few details about the specific nature of the injury.
"Is it a season-ending injury? No," Smith said Monday. "From what I've been told right now, we can expect him back at the end of the regular season."
Hasselbeck has no structural damage to his right forearm and elbow and likely will try to throw this week to see if he can play against Tampa Bay. He was hurt during the 23-17 loss in Atlanta when he hit his arm on a defender's helmet. Coach Mike Munchak isn't expecting the 13-year veteran to practice Wednesday.
On Monday, Kansas City placed its starting quarterback, Matt Cassel, on injured reserve with a broken right hand.
Peterson will be in a walking boot this week, leaving his availability for Sunday's game at Atlanta in question. Peterson has a Grade 1 sprain, the least severe of the three categories, with "a little bit of" ligament damage, coach Leslie Frazier said. Peterson will wear the boot for a few days to protect the joint and won't try to practice until Friday.
"The good news is there's nothing more serious than that," Frazier said, adding: "He'll recover from it. It's just the amount of time that he'll miss. We'll have a better indication toward the end of the week."
Raiders coach Hue Jackson was encouraged by Heyward-Bey's condition.
"I think we're beyond the major part of it," Jackson said. "Now I think it's more of let's see how fast he heals and see exactly where he is. He had the neck, back issue and a concussion so we need to get him past those things."
Jackson also said he would not know the status of running back Darren McFadden and receiver Jacoby Ford until later in the week. Both players have been sidelined by a sprained foot.
Also hurt Sunday were Cardinals nose tackle Dan Williams, gone for the season with a broken left arm; Bills cornerback Terrence McGee (left knee), who also is likely done for 2011; and Buffalo running back Fred Jackson (right calf).
Sustaining concussions were Giants running back D.J. Ware, Cardinals tackle Brandon Keith, and Browns fullback Owen Marecic.
49ers coach Jim Harbaugh expects a quick recovery for fullback Bruce Miller, who sustained a concussion during Sunday's win over Arizona. He didn't play in the second half.
"He's doing all right. He's doing good," Harbaugh said Monday. "I thought he was doing pretty darn good at halftime, too, when I checked on him. It's getting better. So, he's clearing up and I think he'll be fine."
Bills receiver Donnie Jones aggravated an ankle problem, while Carolina DE Charles Johnson hurt his left shoulder.
Packers RB James Starks has a sprained knee and a sore ankle, and Green Bay isn't sure if he can play in the Thanksgiving Day game at Detroit.
Starks hurt his knee late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's victory over Tampa Bay. The Packers did not practice Monday, but Starks likely would not have been able to go if they did.
Redskins LT Trent Williams has a mild MCL sprain in his left knee, something coach Mike Shanahan calls a "good sign" and that "most people play" with that injury.
Giants backup CB Michael Coe hurt his shoulder and needs surgery, finishing his season.
Rams defensive back Marquis Johnson has an abdominal contusion and checked into a hospital for observation. Linebacker Josh Hull aggravated a hamstring injury in the first half Sunday and coach Steve Spagnuolo said Hull would probably be out this week. Offensive tackle Mark Levoir (chest) will be out two to four weeks.
In Houston, Andre Johnson practiced Monday, and coach Gary Kubiak is optimistic he'll play Sunday. Johnson has missed the past six games with a right hamstring injury that required surgery.
QB Matt Schaub is going to see a foot specialist to get a "definitive" diagnosis on his Lisfranc injury and decide if he'll need season-ending surgery, Kubiak said. Schaub wore a protective boot on his right foot as he watched practice Monday.

The Common Council approved a resolution Tuesday, to reward employees who live in the city. Realtor: Workers Will Stay Put, Despite Residency Rule Change By Amy Kiley & Stephanie Lecci • Jun 4, 2013 Brad Lindert/Flickr Listen Listening... / Lake Effect's Amy Kiley interviews Mike Ruzicka, president of the Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors. The Joint Finance Committee is supposed to conclude its state budget revisions this week ahead of a full legislative vote this month. Along with tax and spending changes, the budget includes a proposal to lift residency requirements for most public workers. Many have debated whether that residency rule change will affect services delivered or even harm local communities.

More than a decade ago, state lawmakers in Michigan made a similar move, giving city of Detroit workers the freedom to live wherever they want. WUWM's Erin Toner spoke with a few people about how those changes have impacted the Motor City.

| Forever Siriusly Sirius chapter 1 . 11/25/2012
This was so beautiful. If i wasnt currently in school while reading this I think I might have cried. I dont read any of the books or anything that yiu referenced by taking quotes from but I loved them. I love the celtic wedding, i love how Tonks is remus's mate and thos wasvjust beautiful :)
| Nymphadora Potter chapter 1 . 6/8/2010
Great story! I recognized the Princess Bride quote instantly lol I love that movie! I've seen it, like, 5 million times or so XDD
| Siriusmunchkin chapter 1 . 3/28/2009
Finally she's faced her fear and let him in.
| Matt Quinn chapter 1 . 1/14/2009
Interesting story, although I'm not one for the wizards being Wiccans, Druids, or some other form of neo-Pagan. The little we see of religion in the Potterverse leads me to believe most of them are at least nominally Christian.
Of course, it is possible Tom and Julia are Celtic pagans and that's it, although the fact in your note you describe Dumbledore as being a Druid makes it seem you think this belief system is more widespread.
I'll take a look at the Snape story you mentioned-the Snape/Lily AU "The Wrath of the Half-Blood Prince" was my first HP fan-fiction and it's completed now.
Thanks for the recommendation.
| Mrs.Hermione Jane Weasley chapter 1 . 8/1/2007
I love it and you made me cry, but happy tears. You also made my cheeks very warm and my mouth dry. It was wonderful and I can't wait to read more. YFF,
| AudreyLovesRemus chapter 1 . 6/29/2007
Aw... I love this one more every time I read it.
| alix33 chapter 1 . 6/11/2007
For Julia and Tom's wedding ceremony and everything that happened at the time it was happening: AW!
Loch Roag - which I'm Googling and I'll be back afterwards...OK, oh wow! after seeing loads of Googled pics.
""I could've wrung that bloody bird's neck!" At that moment, servers brought out the main course. Roast pheasant with Madeira sauce was set before them. The couples looked at each other and broke into laughter." - so am I (breaking into laughter, I mean)!
"smelled of the flowers arranged in a vase on the table beside the brass bed. "Ma wife prides herself on her roses. Red velvet, those are." " - The 'red velvet' remark worried me a bit, so I re-read the preceding sentence at least twice and I still hope it is their species name (or cultivar or whatever roses with fancy names like that are!) rather than the fabric they are made of?
AW! for all of what...er...came :P after the red velvet bit.
"with his Druid celebrant status gained from an ad in the back of Standing Stone magazine, lol, preside over this ceremony too," - and here I thought a witch or wizard's mug shot on a chocolate frog card entitled them to marriage celebrant status automatically, if they were still alive!
" 'Mawage is wot bwings us togeder tooday.' (Princess Bride for all occasions)" - I don't remember that bit! But then again, this philistine reviewer of yours only ever saw that movie once, and only last year when our satellite TV channel aired it!
| worldsapart chapter 1 . 5/22/2007
Definitely worth the wait.
| Zephyr of Shadows chapter 1 . 2/17/2007
O.O YAY! lol, finally... FINALLY they get around to... bringing the relationship to the next level D *is so happy, he does a little "happy happy joy joy" dance, while his roommate looks on confusidly* I can't wait for the next installment, the BIG one that is D need to go read Three for the Road still... but. GAH I love this fic )
| Camillia Vincent chapter 1 . 12/7/2006
it was worth it. It was definately worth it. You make me want to have a moment like this for Celeste and Draco, minus the, ya know, boinking. Did I tell you I've written that out of the new version? You might have to help me when I get to it though, you seem to have more time for research than I do unfortunately. maybe I should get a job at a book store
| Calenmarwen chapter 1 . 11/19/2006
Brilliant, Super! Well worth the wait. I'm so glad you wrote it though!
| Ricci chapter 1 . 10/23/2006
Ok, I'm slightly disappointed here. I know that you only rated this a "T" but with all the build up that you've had to this moment, I really expected more from their first time. It just seemed really anticlimatic to skip over what could have been a really touching scene. I feel that you could have added a lot more foreplay to this and still keep it within the "T" catigory.
On a seperate note: I love your series. Your version of Remus and Tonks is by far one of my favorites. You make them real people and real people have problems, hang ups, just as your portral does. I love it. And I'm glad that you don't make everything easy for them.
Thank you so much for blessing us with your take on Remus/Tonks.
| die Loreley chapter 1 . 10/22/2006
It was indeed well worth the wait! I *was* thinking that you had a thing for Celtic weddings, but I can see why too. I don't know if I want a big wedding or a small one now. The intimacy of Tom and Julia's (and Severus and Lorelei's) weddiing is just so nice. *sighs wistfully* I probably shouldn't be planning my wedding or honeymoon now. This is your fault. :P (Not that I wouldn't be thinking about it anyway)
I loved how Remus refers to Tonks as a nymph. I wonder how a girl as pixie-like as her ever became an Auror, but that's what magic's for, isn't it?
Is this your way of kind of getting Tonks and Remus to 'marry' - have them say the wedding vows to each other silently and then have a 'honeymoon', because married!TonksandRemus, wouldn't be canon? I think Tonks would make a gorgeous bride, when the time comes. And she has plenty of time - she's only 21.
I'm sorry this is a week late. But have an awesome week and I can't wait to see what happens next.
| Dolphindreamer chapter 1 . 10/20/2006
Ahh! It was so cute! I really liked this! Sweet. I've been to the standing stones on lewis! I lived their for a month (on Lewis) I'm so glad you mentioned them! Everyone always does stonehedge but I love the Calanish stones. Keep it up!
~Dolphin Dreamer
| lainey3600 chapter 1 . 10/20/2006
Aw, this was so sweet and romantic. I liked the blessing. My only complaint is that I cind of would have liked their first time to have been from Tonks' pov, because although i love Remus, Tonks' voice is so original and entertaining. Great story though!

Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act (ACA) may have been designed with all good intentions, but not everyone is happy about it, especially those who will have to shoulder the brunt of tax fees and those that will be affected by the subsidized health plan. Those that will be penalized for not having insurance won't have any reason to smile about either. How the ACA affect you, however, will greatly depend on your unique circumstances.
How Will Obamacare Affect You If You Already Have Insurance?
As long as your insurance is "grandfathered in", which means it was created before 23 March 2010, the ACA will not have a significant effect on you. But you might want to compare plans in the state marketplace, as you might find a better deal. Not all health plans, after all, come with essential health benefits and free preventative care, or covers pre-existing conditions.
If you have employer-sponsored insurance, not much will change with your health plan. You would still enjoy the same benefits, which would be advantageous, especially if they are as good as what Obamacare offers.
How Will Obamacare Affect Me If I Am Uninsured?
Because the program helps ensure that everyone has health insurance, being uninsured can pose a problem, what with the tax penalties you will have to face. Based on provisions on the ACA, you will be fined for every month that you are uninsured, except when the period falls under a "short gap". This refers to the first three months that you are uninsured. Any other month that you are not insured after the short gap could mean tax penalties of 2.5% of your household income in the 2016 tax year. Penalties could also be imposed as per adult and/or per child that is uninsured.
The only time that you can get away with being uninsured is that if you are exempted. That is, your situation puts you on the exemption category. Your income is way below the Federal poverty level that buying insurance would be an added financial burden.
How Will Obamacare Affect Me If I Work Part-Time?
ACA has full-time employees covered, but has left the decision on part-time workers to employers. It is up to them if they want to ensure staff who are working less than 30 hours a week, which can be a bummer. Part-time employees, still do the same job as full-time workers, although not in the same amount of time. They still get sick and would need insurance when that happens.
Other employers also cut down job hours to less than 30 per week, in order to avoid paying for healthcare. A major downside of Obamacare where part-time workers are concerned. There are employers, however, who are generous enough to give employees money, so they can buy their own individual health care policy.
The upside of ACA on part-time workers is that you can get subsidized quality health insurance from the Health Insurance Marketplaces, which offer better benefits at a low cost.
How Will Obamacare Affect Me If I Can't Afford The Premiums For Dependent Coverage?
One of the downsides of ACA is that dependents of employees are not covered. If they want dependent coverage included in their employer-sponsored health insurance, they will have to pay the full premium. If you can't afford it, you can always get dependent insurance from the Health Insurance Marketplaces. There is one problem, though. Your dependent might not be eligible for cost-sharing assistance or subsidies (premium tax credits). The cost of premium is one of the reasons that many employers today skip dependent coverage. You can only hope that the tide will change and employers would be more generous.
How Will Obamacare Affect Me If I Receive Medicare?
The good news is you will get more from your Medicare, because the new benefits and protections included in ACA further boosts Medicare. Your coverage still stands and the level of protection increases.
For instance, all your guaranteed benefits will be protected. Whatever benefits you have been promised to be given if you need it will stand. Laws have also been added to safeguard you from scams, waste and fraud. For another, you will be able to save money through the Medicare program. After all, preventive care is now free. This includes immunization, diabetes, cholesterol and cancer screenings; and diet counseling. Although there are exceptions, the most basic preventative care will be given at no cost to you.
Also, if you have Medicare Part D, you will get over 52% discount on prescription drugs if you have reached the coverage gap or doughnut hole.
How Will Obamacare Affect My Business?
There are always two sides of the story and Obamacare is no exception. It can be a boon or a bane to a company. Because of the enforced requirement of health insurance, small businesses might need to sponsor insurance for their staff, which will take a toll on their overheads. On the other hand, ACA gives them an opportunity to look for a better coverage through the Small Business Health Options Program. This is applicable for small employers with less than 50 employees. And, if the company has less than 25 employees working full-time or equivalent, it will enjoy tax credits.
How Will Obamacare Affect Me If I Have No Idea What The Program Is All About And How To Buy Insurance?
Not to worry, there are now plenty of online sites that will walk you through the entire insurance buying process, most of which are government-run. If you buy individual insurance health plan, you need to check if you qualify for subsidy. Yes. You can go through the health insurance exchange. No. You need to go through a broker or buy direct from an insurer. Still, you can use the exchange to find a broker or insurance company. Although there are still glitches in the health insurance exchange, it is already helping a lot of Americans buy insurance. A little tweak and it could run as smoothly as possible.
Many people think Obamacare is no good, but it really depends on your situation. So how will the health program affect you?
