Dominic, welcome! It's a couple of years since we last caught up with you. How are you and how's the OC?
I'm great, working on several projects as always. Actually, I'm now based in Las Vegas, and love the weather out here. My website is going well. I'm enjoying my work behind the camera.
Tell us about Hustlaball Las Vegas?
Hustlaball Las Vegas is my new baby. It's my first large event for Pacifico Entertainment. It's very similar to all the Hustlaball events, except for one extra bonus. We have a private party for VIPs the day before the main event, with an open bar and LIVE SEX all night long. It happens in Las Vegas once a year in January.
When directing, what qualities do you think you bring to the porn being made?
I bring a natural approach to sex, not the usual stage studio set up. Its all in HD, and all the guys are hot and hot for each other. With that said, I only pair guys who really wanna have sex with each other, and don't cast people I wouldn't be friends with.
Who do you dream of working with next?
I'd love to work with Darius Ferdynand, he's so beautiful.
Who is the sexiest fuck you have ever had on screen?
I loved working with Paddy O'Brian, whoosh, he had me hard as a rock the whole time!
Can you describe the most intense film you ever shot?
The most intense film I've shot for my site is when we used the fuck machine on set. I LOVE IT!
Talk me through some of the kinky things you like to get up to. What is the kinkiest thing you've ever filmed?
The kinkiest things I've filmed for my site is piss and the fuck machine. I don't go too much further than that. Maybe in the future I'll move to a more fetish kinda video. I'd like to film more piss play and rougher sex, but I like to keep it natural at the same time.
You did your first scene when you were 18? How did that come about?
I was sitting in a cafe and I was scouted. I did a few magazine nudes and it progressed from there. before I knew it I was at the porn convention in Las Vegas 2003, and was full engulfed in the porn world.
What would you say to someone who is 18, hung, and looking to make his first porn film?
I'd say do it, save your money and have a goal. You can make a lot when you're young, but you should have an investment plan. I've seen a lot of guys walk away with nothing, because they blew all their money in bars and on clothes. Be smart, and make it worthwhile.
Tell us about your passion for DJing?
I've been a DJ since 1998. I love my work, and happy that it has progressed over the years. I'm now working on producing more tracks during my off time between international gigs. I'm happy to say I've gone this far and still have more to come.
You have to pick one: pretty boy or muscled hunk?
Muscle hunk.
What is your favorite food?
I love salads, kale, and tacos, haha!
Would you like to share some of your ambitions for the future?
My goal is to complete a full album of music. I'm working on creating music videos for my tracks as well, and the rest is a secret! lol
What is your most prized possession?
Hmmm, I'd have to say my new home.
Thanks for talking to us Dominic, looking forward to seeing you in your next film! Do you have a message for your fans?
To my fans, thank you! And I love you. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have been able to do the work I love all theses years.
You can follow Dominic Pacifico on Twitter, or visit his website.

William Irons, «The Yomut Turkmen: A Study of Social Organization among a Central Asian Turkic-speaking Population»
Department of Anthropology – Research and teaching interests: Evolutionary Ecology, Reproductive Strategies, Demography, Evolutionary Foundations of Morality and Religion, Pastoral Nomads and Middle East.
William Irons did his is doctoral research on the Yomut Turkmen, a group of pastoral nomads in northern Iran. He later returned to Iran for two more studies of the Yomut. The last study was an extensive demographic and economic survey which provided data very useful for evolutionary analysis.
In 1976, he and Napoleon Chagnon organized a set of symposia on the use of behavioral ecology in anthropology for the 1976 annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association. These symposia led to the publication, in 1979, of a volume edited by Chagnon and Irons entitled Evolutionary Biology and Human Social Behavior: An Anthropological Perspective. This volume presented much of the earliest work in anthropology designed to evaluate evolutionary theories of behavior and culture. Read more…

text: Extreme Lingerie One girl's chic is the next girl's freak. By Jessica Iredale and Kelly Wetherille on January 23, 2012 When Tamae Hirokawa, designer of the Tokyo-based fashion line Somarta, sent a full bodysuit encrusted with some 20,000 Swarovski crystals down the runway in 2007, it wasn't with dreams of becoming a bestseller. In fact, it wasn't until three years later that someone other than a model dared to wear the getup. In April 2010, Lady Gaga, the patron saint of otherworldly lingerie, put the look in front of a global audience when she wore it throughout a trip to Japan, later reprising the bodysuit for her spread in Vanity Fair's September 2010 issue. Yet even with that kind of exposure, Hirokawa, who sells tamer versions of her suit — gloves, stockings, tops — under the Skin Series label at Japanese retailers such as Ginza Mitsukoshi and Seibu Shibuya, has no plans to put the more extreme pieces into production. But why not? If any subgenre of fashion has permission to push boundaries, surely it's lingerie, where anything beyond basic nudges at fantasy. A survey of its purveyors found that the riskier designs pay off. WWD logo To Read the Full Article SUBSCRIBE NOW Already a Subscriber? Log in.

Hofer v. Gap, Inc., 516 F.Supp.2d 161 (D. Mass. 2007) (full-text).
Factual Background Edit
Plaintiff filed suit against a travel website, alleging that plaintiff was injured when "flip-flop" sandals that she was wearing broke while she was descending a stairway, which made her lose her balance and fall. Plaintiff contended that Expedia, Inc., the travel website used to book plaintiff's reservation, negligently failed to warn her of dangerous conditions at the resort. Plaintiff based her claim on the fact that Expedia sends inspectors to travel locations, who make lists of what needs to be fixed on the grounds and gives the location a travel rating. Expedia moved for summary judgment.
Trial Court Proceedings Edit
To obtain summary judgment the moving party must show that there is no genuine issue material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The court views the record in the light most favorable to the non-moving party.
It was undisputed that in order to finalize the reservation, the plaintiff had to "click through" and affirmatively accept Expedia's Website Terms, Conditions, and Notices, which included a liability disclaimer provision. The disclaimer stated, among other things, that "[t]he . . . hotels and other suppliers providing . . . services for Expedia, Inc., are independent contractors and not agents or employees of Expedia, Inc., . . .," and that "Expedia, Inc., . . . [is] not liable for the acts, errors, omissions, representations, warranties, breaches, or negligence of any such suppliers or from any personal [injuries] . . . resulting therefrom." Plaintiff claimed that she could not recall reading the disclaimer. The court held this assertion was not sufficient to create an issue of material fact.
Travel agents have generally been found not liable for the negligence of third party travel operators. Plaintiff contended that her case was distinguished from these previous cases because Expedia conducted inspections of the hotel and also controlled 10-15% of the resorts revenue through bookings — showing that Expedia exerted control over the resorts.
The court found this argument unpersuasive. First, the evidence showed Expedia merely made inspections in order to rate the facilities for comfort, quality, and value. Second, there was no evidence showing that Expedia could compel the resort to make any repairs if it did notice them. Third, there is no evidence that Expedia held itself out to take responsibility for the condition of the resort. This demonstrated Expedia did not exert control over the resort.
Plaintiff then claimed that Expedia owed a duty to disclose, since Expedia was acting as her agent and had inside information as to the resort's condition. The court held that there was no evidence that Expedia had this information.
Finally, plaintiff claimed that Expedia assumed a duty to warn. Because Expedia did not control safety at the resort, and had no duty to warn, the court found this claim to have no merit.
The court also noted that ruling in favor of the plaintiff would wreak havoc in the travel industry but do little to improve safety. Summary judgment was granted.

Jaw surgery and braces versus sliding genioplasty?
Doctor Answers 1
Jaw surgery versus sliding genioplasty
I agree with your previous surgeons. Based on your profile and the contours of your chin, you would benefit much more from jaw advancement than chin surgery. I have not seen your bite nor photos other than that submitted, but from what I can see you definitely are a good candidate for mandibular advancement, and possibly maxillary impaction. Continue discussing this with your surgeon of choice. Make sure he or she is very experienced in orthognathic surgery and board-certified.
Continue discussing this with your surgeon of choice. Make sure he or she is very experienced in orthographic surgery and board-certified.
Best of luck!

There has been yet another beheading by the ISIS and this would go on to indicate that the group is just not ready to give up despite the strikes by the US on its camps.
Beheading videos have been a common practise among the terrorist groups and was popularized a lot by the al-Qaeda. Today the brutality is thrived upon by the ISIS and such videos have become a regular occurrence.
Why do terror groups shoot beheading acts?
The question is what drives these terrorists to shoot such videos and how much does it help their campaign? Moreover, if one watches the evolution of these videos, it is clear that the media outlets of these terrorist groups have evolved a great deal from a crude video to a full fledged multi media slick production.
These videos became slick over a period of time and it was largely credited to the al-Qaeda which felt that a good quality video shot well would generate more interest. The ISIS was quick to pick this up and today relies on brutality to convey their message.
Reason(s) of sending beheading videos to different countries:
Several counter terrorism analysts say that the main intent behind the beheadings and then posting a video on the social media would be to send across a clear message to their enemy nation.
Moreover, these outfits are known to thrive on brutality which has in fact helped them a great deal in pushing their agenda. Let us listen in to what Aki Peritz, a counter terrorism analyst who was in fact assigned the job of watching beheading videos in Iraq and providing an analysis to the CIA, has to say.
An expert's opinion:
He says on watching these videos he has learnt that these videos were clearly for the camera. What I have realized after viewing these videos in Iraq was that these persons have no remorse.
The ISIS in fact thrives on such videos, but they also run the danger of bringing about their downfall since not everyone subscribes to their fanatic agenda.
Other analysts would say that there is a strategy involved in these videos. The primary strategy is publicity alone and they do ensure that it is circulated over and over again on the internet.
Difference between previous and latest beheading videos:
The latest beheading by the ISIS was more of a message that they sought to convey to the US which has launched air strikes against them. The experts say that this was on expected lines and the ISIS was bound to execute someone in a bid to send a chilling message to the United States of America.
However, there was a difference between the latest video and the ones which were posted in the past. The latest video was slightly crude in nature which itself shows that it was done in a hurry.
The previous videos were slick multi media productions with a perfect background. The New York Times reports that the footage in the video released Sunday, Nov 16 was of poorer quality than some of the group's previous, slickly produced execution videos.
The video shows a black-robed executioner standing over the severed head of Peter Kassig. Though the end result of the footage was grimly familiar, it was strikingly different from the executions of four other Western hostages, whose recorded deaths were carefully choreographed.
The most obvious difference is in the beheading itself. This one just shows the severed head itself. Among the things that could have gone wrong, analysts surmise, is that the extremists did not have as much time outdoors as they did when they killed the others.

As some of you may have noticed, I've almost completely dropped off Twitter and Facebook. That's not because I don't value my friends and family! I just have a very difficult time stomaching the evolution towards corporate ownership and control of our communication.

The Orchid, or ran in Japanese (pronounced "rahn") -- the language of flowers is an abiding love.
Adding a small amount of premium Matcha tea powder to Karigane creates a noble, complex flavor that spreads through your mouth, and will make you fall in love all over again with Japanese tea.
Ito Jakuchu's "Roganzu", 18th century. Source: Wikipedia
The origins of the word Karigane, literally "the sound of geese", lies in story that regal migratory geese would rest on branches floating in the sea on their long journey. The leaf stems, resembling these branches, were given this regal name by Kyoto merchants in ages past.

The Kershaw Clash folding knife has a 3-inch blade that is just right for most tasks. The blade has plenty of belly and just the slightest hint of a recurve to improve slicing without being hard to sharpen. The Clash's blade steel offers stain and wear resistance as well as good strength. Choose this partially serrated model for serrations that cut cleanly without shredding and makes short work of fibrous material like rope or webbing.
The Clash opens with SpeedSafe assisted opening with a satisfying "twack" as it locks into place ready for use. Both left and right-handed users can open the Clash one-handed thanks to the ambidextrous flipper. Once opened, the blade is secured by a locking liner and releases easily when your task is done.The Clash's handle is somewhat wider and thicker and has a deep index-finger indentation. The combination makes for a knife that provides an extremely secure grip. The glass-filled nylon scales are textured to enhance grip even more.

GM Can't Fix Every Recalled Vehicle. Why.
Recalling vehicles is tough enough.But General Motors admits finding the car owners is also difficult.
In fact, nearly 140-thousand recall notices to GM customers so far could not be delivered.
That's about six-and-a-half percent of people who were sent notices as a result of the automaker's ignition switch recall. Officials with General Motors say the primary reason these notices were undeliverable is because it's tough to find the owners of older vehicles that may have been sold a couple of times. GM says they'll keep trying though because they are hoping for 100-percent response to the recall.
GM has suffered 66 recalls in the U.S. this year alone.


text: Posted March 29, 2013 I figured I'll post this during a win streak so that nobody can accuse me of being a bandwagoner who "shuts up" until the Canucks are losing. Why? Because I'm right. Let's set the first, and incredibly obvious thing straight right off the bat: We've won 6 games in a row because of Schneider, and a few great plays by defensemen here and there (lolHamhuis) Now we can take a look at how, apart from goaltending, absolutely nothing has changed since our losing streak. Good job AV, you somehow got Schneider playing like a 6x4 wall of bricks. There's still no scoring (besides empty netters), there's still no powerplay, and there is still stupid line-up choices. Schroeder still gets benched half way through a game even though that line carried our diminutive offense for several consecutive games. That is the last line that needs a shake-up right now! Do I really have much else to add? No. It's all been said. All I'm adding this time is that AV is still doing a horrible job, and yet again his ass is being carried by a hot goaltender while AV's team sits on one-goal leads. This will NEVER win a Stanley Cup. Ever. Fire AV. 33 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cover letters are similar to first dates -- the ending often determines whether or not you'll advance beyond the initial stage. Close your cover letter in a way that makes your potential employer want to know more about you. If you come off as confident and charismatic without seeming pushy and overly familiar, you could wind up in the professional relationship of your dreams.
Say Thank You
Interviewers are typically busy people, so if your potential employer reads your cover letter through to the end, thanks are in order. Write a sentence that expresses your gratitude, such as, "Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to read my cover letter," or "Your interest in my resume and cover letter is truly appreciated."
Ask For What You Want
At the end of your cover letter, make your intentions clear. State plainly that you want an interview to show confidence in your abilities and to display excitement about the position. Stay away from passive language, such as, "I look forward to hearing from you," or "Please contact me at your earliest convenience." Be proactive by saying something to the effect of "I would love to meet with you to discuss the position in greater detail, and to answer any questions you have about me."
Make the First Move
Indicate that you'll make first contact at the close of your cover letter, to keep from having to stalk your email or wait anxiously by the phone. Say something like, "I'll give you a call next week to set something up. I look forward to speaking with you then," or, "I'll contact you in two weeks to schedule an interview. I'm excited about meeting you, and discussing the position and my qualifications at length."
Honor Your Word
Keep whatever promises you make at the end of your cover letter to show your potential employer that you're a person of integrity who takes her commitments seriously. If you say you're going to call on Monday, call on Monday. Remember -- your cover letter and follow-up not only introduces your skills and work history, but they also give a glimpse into your professionalism and work ethic.
Before You Hit Send
Once your cover letter is completed, double check the tone, grammar and spelling to ensure your letter is both interesting and well-written. If you're sending your cover letter and resume as attachments via email, copy and paste the letter into the body of your email as well. Even if your interviewer is too busy to open the attachment, she'll get a glimpse of your personality and qualifications just from scanning the email.

Previous chapter: MKA-FKI (PN4) Strannik mission
At the end of December 2010, Space Council of the Russian Academy of Sciences, RAN, approved development of the MKA-FKI PN5 (Payload No. 5) ARKA orbital solar observatory in cooperation with the US, where the project was identified as Coronal Science Investigation, CSI. Preliminary scheduled for launch in 2015, the spacecraft would observe the Sun in X-ray range of spectrum during a three-year orbital mission.
Based on the standard platform, known as Small Spacecraft, MKA, developed by NPO Lavochkin, the satellite would carry a pair of solar telescopes with super-high angular resolution reaching around 100 kilometers. One instrument would be developed in Russia by Lebedev Physics Institute, FIAN, IFM in Novgorod and IKI in Moscow. Another instrument could be supplied by the US. In the United States, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and Marshall Space Flight Center were expected to take responsibility for the project. Two sides also considered an exchange of technologies between two instruments, for example, FIAN was proposing to develop optics or detectors for both telescopes, while US would supply stabilization system for two instruments.
New instruments onboard ARKA promised to increase the resolution of solar observations by 11.5 times comparing to the sensitivity of a telescope onboard Koronas-Foton spacecraft. They would also offer a four-fold and 6.5-fold improvement comparing to the latest US solar observatories – SDO and TRACE, respectively. Due to its very high magnification, telescopes on ARKA would see only a fraction of the solar disc, rather than a global view of the Sun provided by Koronas-Foton and SDO.
In addition to a pair of main telescopes, the available payload mass onboard ARKA offers an opportunity to install a third small instrument, most likely for hard X-ray observations of the Sun disc. It could be developed in a cooperative effort between FIAN and IKI. (447)
As of December 2010, the development schedule for the ARKA project envisioned following milestones:
As of 2008, the mission was expected in 2014. (299) According to official mission objectives formulated by 2012, the ARKA mission would reach following goals:
The ARKA mission would be based on the Karat-200 spacecraft bus carrying an ARKA payload and including a launch vehicle adapter.
On March 14, 2014, the Space Council of the Academy of Sciences, officially rejected the use of the Karat platform for all but the Relek experiment, which was to be Karat's second mission. The Space Council proposed to fold ARKA, as well as the Konus-M experiment from the third Karat mission and the Monika spectrometer (provisionally scheduled to fly on the sixth Karat mission) into the Koronas-K solar-research project. However all these experiments would have to be accommodated as secondary payloads onboard future Russian application satellites.

text: Xirrus unveils automated activation of new Wi-Fi infrastructure capability02 May 2013 06:32 PM Xirrus Mobilize enables automated activation of new Wi-Fi access points in minutes via Cloud-based, zero-touch provisioning and configuration, requiring no IT supportXirrus, the wireless network provider, has announced Xirrus Mobilize, a new component of the Xirrus Cloud Services portfolio that provides automated, cloud-based provisioning service for Xirrus wireless networks. Geared to the needs of highly distributed organisations, Mobilize simplifies and expedites the deployment of new wireless equipment via a process as easy as connecting a new Xirrus access point to the network. The service is compatible with all Xirrus wireless arrays, access points, management systems and cloud services, enabling organisations to rapidly scale their networks to accommodate new users, new mobile devices, and new applications. Xirrus Mobilize accelerates the deployment of new wireless infrastructure. Once a new access point is connected, Xirrus Mobilize is automatically initiated to complete a series of processes that require no manual intervention: discovering and validating the access points; deploying and activating the license; updating firmware if necessary; downloading initial configuration data to bring the access point online; and linking the access point into the customer's Xirrus Management System (XMS) if present – either on-premise or cloud based.Xirrus Mobilize does not require the customer to own an XMS system and so is ideal for smaller customers turning up a Wi-Fi network. The company said Xirrus Mobilize is ideal for organisations with widely distributed networks where skilled IT staff may centrally manage the network, but onsite IT at regional or remote offices is rarely available. By reducing the need for onsite technical support, Mobilize significantly reduces both deployment time and costs.Solving the challenge of Wi-Fi proliferationMany different organisations can benefit from the automation and ease of management provided by Xirrus Mobilize. For example, managed service providers can ship and remotely turn up Wi-Fi at customer locations, requiring local personnel simply to plug new arrays or APs into the network.Enterprises with only a centralised IT staff can quickly turn up Wi-Fi at branch office locations with limited or no IT personnel. Xirrus Mobilize is applicable to any organisation in which a distributed workforce or flat IT staffing budgets are the norm.'The demand for rapid IT response and streamlining operations has become ever more business-critical as the workforce relies more and more on wireless access and mobility applications,' said Steven Wastie, chief marketing officer for Xirrus. 'Because the IT business model in most organisations is still very centralised, remote offices and workers often go without dedicated IT support. Xirrus Mobilize is a direct response to this issue. When staffers with no IT background whatsoever can plug in Wi-Fi access points and allow software to provision those devices, operations improve dramatically, OPEX drops significantly, and remote personnel get the nearly instant connectivity they need,' said Wastie.Xirrus Mobilize is compatible with all Xirrus Wi-Fi arrays and access points , regardless of whether a Xirrus Management System (XMS) is in place. Xirrus Mobilize supports both XMS-Cloud and on-premise based XMS-Enterprise. For networks in which XMS has been deployed, Xirrus Mobilize serves as the front end to provide initial network configuration and automatic discovery.Xirrus Mobilize is free and shipped with all new Xirrus access points beginning with the ArrayOS 6.5, release in June 2013.

Best romantic match for an INFJ

(Here's some links since I'm not basing this off nothing): 1. https://www.reddit.com/r/infj/comments/3ypoil/which_male_type_should_an_infj_female_date/ 2. https://www.reddit.com/r/infj/comments/1oscn8/who_is_the_ideal_match_for_infj_females/ 3. http://personalityjunkie.com/09/infj-intp-relationships-compatibility-part-i/ 4. https://www.man42.net/blog/2016/11/mbti-relationship-survey/relationships/
They seem to do best with other INFJs, ISxJs and xNTPs, relationships with mature (emphasis on mature, these relationships either skyrocket or fail miserably) INTPs can prove extremely fulfilling, but they can be hard to get off the ground initially. It's my personal belief that opposites don't attract, imo an INFJ-ESTP pairing would be a disaster, and while they may be heavily attracted to each other at first, I don't think ENxPs are all that compatible either. Of course any combination can work out though.
Oh, I was just irritated that 7w8 was matched for a feeling type. Think 7w6 would be better fit for infj.
anyway i'm not really sure why entp, i think enfp, (ne does compliment ni) but the ti-fe axis in entp can be quite insensitive at first and might be hard for the infj to deal with at the beginning, in the long run though? maybe...
why isn't 7w8 a good match for anyone?
How is 7w8 a good match for anyone?
As INFJ female, I have been attracted to ENFPs, INFJs, ENTPs, INTJs, and ISFPs, but of course it depends on enneagram type and how healthy they are. The type I never seem to find myself attracted to are ESTPs. They seem to irritate me to no end.
Opposite perfect match? What about INTPs, do you believe that a single ESFJ girl would date a nerd you dumbass
Honestly ESTP are actually the worst match for the INFJ. No INFJ would date a dumb cheating overweighted fat ass
What if I told you Im INFJ ripped and 1,84 how the fuck can you hobbit even compare you twink ass ahahahaha
Feggit male INFJ can't handle his perfect match ESTP mistress. Embrace your submissiveness. Prepare for anal penetration as well.
Stop with this socionics bullshit you fuckwit.
How hard can it be ?! INFJ: Ni-Fe-Ti-Se, so ideal is ESTP: Se-Ti-Fe-Ni. The data is right there you baboons.
As an INFJ, I'm quite surprised that nobody voted for ENFJ, which is to me the perfect romantic match for an INFJ male (even if one again everything depends on the person himself and not on his type). However the INFJ male - ENTP female is 100% bullshit.
Same type relations get boring very fast. I think ExTP would be best. ISTJ would be good too.
Same types can work, however, usually is a terrible couple, at least for the look of other persons. LOL I'll vote for something different. ISTJ have exactly the 8 functions of INFJ in contrary: Si-Te-Fi-Ne-Se-Ti-Fe-Ni. Both will prefer to stay more at home, both will be organized, and together they can see big picture, details, and all T and F functions.
INFJ dating an INFJ? The horror.
Some male ones either become priest-like or sexperts.
Yeah..they are prone to be single, but many of female ones are doing well with ENTPs.
Considering how rare they are, is the self-type attraction supposed to mean that they have fewer chances to find a romantic match than other types?
Do you believe that an ENFP would date a sheepie virgin ISTJ

For people with temporary or permanent physical or mental disabilities, health insurance coverage they can afford and rely on is often a concern. While there are options available, there usually are eligibility requirements a person must meet. If private insurance or group health coverage isn't an option, there are low-cost and free programs available through the federal and state governments for disabled individuals who qualify.
Supplemental Security Income
Medicaid benefits are available to individuals with disabilities. In some states, individuals can apply for Medicaid when they apply for Supplemental Security Income -- a federal program that helps low-income, disabled individuals. In 32 states, the application is the same; therefore, qualifying for SSI benefits automatically makes an individual eligible to receive Medicaid health insurance. The Medicaid eligibility rules in some states differ from Social Security Administration rules and require a person to file for SSI and Medicaid separately. All states have disability and income requirements a person must meet to qualify for SSI and Medicaid.
Medically Needy Medicaid
Most states offer medically needy Medicaid programs to help individuals who do not qualify for Medicaid under the usual rules. For example, an individual might have income or assets that are slightly over the maximum the state allows. Some people receive Social Security Disability Insurance benefits but haven't yet met the 24-month disability requirement to receive Medicare. In some cases, an individual may be classified disabled in terms of state benefits but not for SSI or SSDI purposes.
Medicare Insurance
Medicare is available to individuals with disabilities who qualify. A person can get Medicare before age 65 after being eligible for benefits through SSDI for at least 24 months. Even with Medicare, however, supplemental coverage is needed, because Medicare will not pay for all services or for medical expenses in full. Many states also offer programs to help individuals with low incomes who cannot afford to pay the annual Medicare deductibles, monthly premiums, coinsurance and prescription drug co-pays on their own.
Health Care Benefits for Veterans
Individuals who served on active duty in a branch of the U.S. military are eligible to receive health care benefits through the Department of Veterans Affairs. When enrolling in the VA health care system, veterans are assigned to a priority group based on their need for the health care resources available. Veterans with service-connected disabilities, and disabled veterans who are not able to work because of service-connected disabilities and are receiving service-connected disability benefits get priority consideration for scheduling inpatient and outpatient medical care.
Protected by Affordable Care Act
People with disabilities don't always qualify for SSI or SSDI and therefore may not be eligible for public health insurance to cover their medical expenses. Fortunately, the Affordable Care Act offers disabled individuals additional options for heath care services and supports. One of the major benefits of the law is that it prevents private health insurers from discriminating against individuals who have pre-existing health conditions.

Team No Sleepies: Lee Leads UK Past ISU
John Calipari basically went down the list of his best players one by one and described how they didn't have an impact.
He said Jamal Murray "didn't play in the first half." The same was true for Alex Poythress. He commented that Skal Labissiere "really gave us nothing the whole game."
And then there's Tyler Ulis, who was sidelined for Kentucky's game on Monday with a hyperextended elbow.
"Without Tyler, it's obvious we're not the same team," Calipari said.
How then did UK manage to beat Illinois State anyway?
Marcus Lee.
"He was great today," Calipari said. "Boy was he good. If he does -- if Marcus Lee doesn't play, we lose."
Lee had 13 points and 12 rebounds – the second double-double of both his career and season – in the Wildcats' 75-63 win over the Redbirds on Monday. He added two blocks and impressive defense overall.
"He was great," said Jamal Murray, who had 18 points, 12 coming after halftime. "He grabbed a lot of offensive rebounds, defensive rebounds, very active, blocked shots and communicated a lot. So he helped the team on defense a lot."
No one would have said that about Lee after his previous three outings.
On the heels of his first-ever double-double against Duke, Lee managed only 13 points and 14 rebounds combined against Wright State, Boston and South Florida. The performances led Coach Cal to replace him in the starting lineup with Alex Poythress on Monday night.
"One of the things I told him is, if you're not playing with energy, I'm not playing you," Calipari said. "You got a player like Marcus Lee, who, if he's to make it, it's going to be on one thing. He's an energy guy who can cover a bunch of positions and flies. And you need that kind of player on your team. But if he's not playing with energy, you get what you have at South Florida."
That might not have been easy for Lee to hear, but he took it to heart.
"He saw it early that I just mentally wasn't there, and that's something I have to recognize early and try to fix," Lee said. "That's something that we have to figure out, both me and him, and today I finally figured it out and got the job done."
But if figuring it out were that easy, Lee would have done it a long time ago. What Calipari is asking of him is difficult, and it begins the moment Lee wakes up each day.
"I mean, to play with that kind of energy, to come out and make that who you are, it's hard," Calipari said. "You have bags under your eyes, you can't do it. You have sleepies in the corners, you can't do it. You've got to prepare all day to come out to play with unbelievable energy."
The thing is, however, that Calipari has a powerful tool at his disposal in working to coax that kind of play out of Lee all the time: the bench.
"After having a couple bad games, you have to either figure it out or stand back, and that's not something I like to do," Lee said. "So I definitely got that message."
