Are you an engineer? A systems designer or manager? A portfolio planner or an architect?
If so, you've come to the right place. Perhaps you're developing a new system that includes mechanical, electrical, and software components. Or maybe you're focused on the design and delivery of a software system to automate a business process. Today's engineering teams -- whether they specialize in electrical, chemical, mechanical, software, or other technical fields -- need, more than ever, to manage requirements, changes, versions, testing, and many other tasks in the project lifecycle. You need the best products that you can find for automating these management tasks and for delivering results that put you ahead of your competition.
These pages are designed to put you on the fast track to efficient project management, improved return on assets and investments, and successful project delivery. Your success is the primary focus of IBM Rational software.
About IBM Rational
As one of the five brands within IBM Software Group, Rational provides products, services, and guidance for software and systems development and delivery. Covering the entire project lifecycle from design to deployment, IBM Rational offerings concentrate decades of experience and know-how to help teams collaborate more effectively. Over the years, we have worked to create a complete and fully integrated set of products that increase productivity, decrease time to market, reduce costs and risk, and drive innovation that improves your competitive advantage.
IBM Rational provides a rich set of capabilities delivered as part of a collaborative and integrated range of products.

Jazz technology transforms software development by making it more collaborative, productive, and transparent through integration of information and tasks across the phases of the software lifecycle.
- Modular. You can choose the products and adoption path that best fit your needs and use your existing tools with components of the full IBM Rational portfolio. There is no need to "rip and replace" the tools and techniques you already have in place.
What Rational can do for you and your company
Most vendors who offer development solutions fail to address the entire software delivery lifecycle. Instead, they focus only on those areas where they have expertise. But with businesses under pressure to transform their investments for greater business value and use their investments as cost-effective enablers of innovation and success, every area of the lifecycle represents an opportunity for improving your team's effectiveness, predictability, and productivity.
The IBM Rational business-driven development approach addresses each phase in the software and systems delivery lifecycle. This results-oriented focus helps teams manage value, develop flexibly, and control risk and change. With the IBM Rational Software Delivery Platform, as well as a host of products specifically built for systems design and development, you get tools and best practices that help your team be successful. Key roles in the software and systems delivery lifecycle gain these substantial benefits:
- Project managers: Improve the success and predictability of projects by being able to respond quickly to change, reduce delays and mistakes with real-time collaboration, and guide teams on best-practice processes for increased consistency and predictability. Easily view real-time information across projects, products, and locations to help measure, monitor, analyze, and project trends, and process performance.
- Architects: Visualize, analyze, capture, and communicate business process design and system requirements and then help translate them into executable code to develop software faster.
- Developers: Get immediate access to assets virtually anywhere in your organization with transparent, real-time availability of files and directories. Connect remotely when you need to so that you can remote work from any location. Automate tedious tasks, defect detection, and best practices guidance to improve efficiency, quality, and ensure consistent techniques and processes.
- Entire team: Collaborate and automate across the entire project lifecycle to help streamline software and systems development and delivery.
As the diagram that follows shows, Rational capabilities address the needs of system engineers and software engineers alike, whether they're working to transform their company's IT organization or building a smarter product that will outshine the competition.
Rational offers modular, solution-focused products and services, as well as integrated product suites across the entire project lifecycle. Both products and services help teams address a wide array of today's challenges, including globally distributed organizations, regulatory compliance mandates, and the adoption of service-oriented development approaches.
Rational software ranks #1 among developers
In June 2009, IBM Rational tools were ranked #1 in Evans Data Corporation's 2009 User's Choice survey of developers' satisfaction. In their report, Evans Data said:
"This is no set of disparate tools thrown together in an attempt to bridge the problems of developers as they move from design to coding to deployment. Rather, the Rational tools suite, integrated together in the Jazz platform, takes software development into a new realm which blends together requirements, asset management, architecture, development, QA, deployment, and further to touch on operations and maintenance."

13 Things: King George's War
1.King George's War, as it was known in the colonies, was fought from 1744 to 1748. Its European counterpart was known as the War of Austrian Succession. and it actually has a starting date of 1740. It was touched off with the death of Charles VI, the Holy Roman Emperor where a succession crisis resulted in France, Prussia, and Spain taking up arms against the British. While the European details of this nice little war are very interesting I usually stick to the events in the colonies for my fourth graders.
2.You might have heard of the French and Indian War. It is often taught in conjunction with events leading up to the American Revolution, however, there were actually four such French and Indian Wars dating back to 1689, and King George's War is the third one.
3. Events in North America actually kicked of in 1739 with a series of skirmishes known as the War of Jenkin's Ear which was between the Spanish and the British. The events were mainly confined to the Caribbean Sea and in the Georgia colony. When France became an ally of Spain in 1744 the matter escalated into King George's War.
4. Warfare developed in the American colonies in 1744 when the French attacked a British position at Canso, Nova Scotia. Canso was an important New England fishery. During the 1720s and 1730s it employed over 3,000 fishermen. Since it was only sixty miles by sea from Louisbourg, a major French stronghold, the French felt threatened by the British presence and attacked Canso.
5. With only eighty-seven soldiers defending rudimentary fortifications, the British surrendered after a short bombardment and minimal resistance. The French destroyed both the fortifications and the settlement and took the garrison, their families, and a few fishermen back to Louisbourg as prisoners.
6. The French also attempted to recapture Port Royal (Annapolis Royal), but failed.
7. One major accomplishment of the British during the war was to seize Fort Louisbourg in 1745. It was a French fortress located on Cape Breton Island, located at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River. The image with this post is the shoreline at Cape Breton.
8. In order to take the fort a force of more than 4,000 men was raised under William Pepperrell, a wealthy merchant from Maine. Assigned the daunting task of taking Louisbourg, they would shortly assault what was regarded as the most secure position in North America.
9. Sir Peter Warren and his naval contingent provided valuable assistance by preventing reinforcements from reaching the French fort. A two-month siege ended in June when British soldiers staged a heroic (and almost comic) raid on the fortress, forcing its capitulation. George II later rewarded Pepperrell with a baronetcy, the first American colonist so honored.
10. Fort Louisbourg was a very important location for the French to hold and prime real estate for the British to capture. Why? The St. Lawrence River gave the French an important route to move goods and people inland. From Fort Louisbourg French settlers could set out for Quebec and Montreal….two towns that depended on access to the Atlantic Ocean.
11. Once Fort Louisbourg was captured by the British the fur trade that the French and their Indian alllies depended upon was disrupted. The movement of manufactured European goods into the hands of French merchants was also disrupted. Now they had nothing to trade with Native American to maintain their allies. Native Americans in the Ohio River Valley quickly became the trading partners of British merchants who gladly stepped in to fill the void.
12. The treaty I highlighted yesterday (printed by none other than Benjamin Franklin) in my wordless image seen here resulted in the Iroquois and an intercolonial force forming in northern New York for an attack against Canada. Though the forces camped at Albany for the entire winter, the regulars never arrived resulting in a thwarted attack against Canada.
13. Peace was achieved with the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748. In return for receiving Madras in India, the British returned Louisbourg to the French, thus nullifying the greatest victory American forces had ever won. Anger in the colonies was so great that London responded by reimbursing the colonial governments for funds spent earlier on the Pepperrell campaign.
It would be another 15 years before the disputes between the French and the British were finally settled. Fighting resumed in 1754 between the two adversaries in North America with the outbreak of the French and Indian War (yes, the one most of us know about). The war speread to Europe two years later and is remembered as the Seven Years War.

That was better than my high school history book! Although I must admit I find US history purdy boring. I was an English history major =)
Happy TT!

Excellent post, precise and detailed: Congratulations.
I love appreciate blog.

Sorry, I'd said:
I appreciate your blog.

Thanks Starlight. I try very hard to show history isn't boring.
Hi Rino! I'm always glad when you stop by.

Great post, as usual. I'm more familiar with the War of Austrian Succession. Maria Theresa had her hands full and, even though she lost Silesia, she eventually was able to keep her lands just as her father wanted. Of course, that was when the Habsburgs became the House of Habsburg-Lorraine and life got infinitely more interesting.
Like starrlight, I'm not as interested in US History as I am European. I was a European History major with an emphasis on the Holy Roman Empire.
Thanks for the information on the American side of the conflict.
Happy TT!
- EHT said...
Thanks for adding more details from the European perspective, Denise. I love to analyze and study European history myself.....there is so much intrigue especially in the royal houses of Europe.

I attended my first Marty Grass party in Michel Delving tonight.
It was overwhelming what with the fireworks and the singing and the dancing and the music and the people in colourful costumes.
We don't celebrate Fat Hobbit Tuesday in Little Delving the way they do here. It was a show unlike anything I have seen in the Shire, and will ever see again.
The music came from the Green Hill Music Society, which is run by a fellow Bounder as it turns out - Falibrand - who'se been with Addernotch Station for a good three or four years now. I didn't know on enlisting at Addernotch Station that I'd be associated with somebody famous like that.
There were a couple who seem to have been stressed about things they found outside the Shire. I heard one say to the other that there's is nothing more worrysome in the Shire than the "pie fairy". Yet, I'd spent the two months since I left home battling a real menace. Evil troll-napping dwarfs, brigands, spiders the size of a wagon and goblins bubbling out of the ground like a mountain spring. There's something villainous about.
It made me think how much I will miss the Shire when I leave. It is generally peaceful here, with good folk enjoying a good and simple life. Yet, the best way to protect it seems to be to track down the source of these troubles.
I am set to walk to Bree on Monday, February 18th. We'll be leaving at dawn ((just before the first sunrise to occur on the server at 12:00 EST on Monday - I will post the time when I am more able to predict what it is. There will be a second group leaving at the first dawn after 8:00 PM EST)).
Bree is awful far away, and I don't know when I'll be returning. It will be when I am certain I've figured out the source of the problems confronting the Shire. It may take a while.
I will miss you and I will continue to write as time permits.
Alphred Troute.
Don't worry about me. I'll have friends with me.
Alphred Troute
Club Eclair is a slow=leveling group whose members agree to level at the same rate. Currently, we are working with a cap of 9. On Monday, February 18th, we are raising the level cap to 11 for the group, and opening up the South Bree and the Old Forest for adventure. If you have a character you're willing to lock at 11th level you're invited to join us at the Prancing Pony as we march into town - Monday, February 18th.

Thinking about this a bit more, I like Adam's proposed method - take each source through all policies, if a source is forbidden by any one of them, the source is not allowed. This method is more future proof and doesn't require the spec to specify intersections per directive. Suppose that in the future we have a directive "fruit" with 2 possible values - "apples" and "oranges". Neither directive value is safer than the other, but one policy may have the value "apples" and another may have the value "oranges". Using this method, "apples" will only be allowed if it passes all policies. (The corresponding intersection rule for this directive would then be to only include this directive in the combined policy if it exists in all policies with the same value. Otherwise, don't include this directive at all.) As far as implementation, browser vendors could decide (for performance reasons) to create per directive intersection rules that would yield the same behavior as this method. One question - what would happen if the two policies had different report-uris? If we follow this heuristic, we wouldn't send any reports, correct? ~Tanvi On 5/7/12 6:07 PM, Daniel Veditz wrote: > On 5/7/12 3:36 PM, Adam Barth wrote: >> On Mon, May 7, 2012 at 3:29 PM, Tanvi Vyas<firstname.lastname@example.com> wrote: >>> Instead, what if we set precedence for different types of headers.

A short film called 'Star Drunk' answers a question you didn't know you had: what would a movie look like if it was written by drunk people, directed by a drunk person and starred only drunk actors? Sorry, 'Sharknado.' You no longer hold the title for the most ridiculous movie to come out in 2013.
The answer can be found in this sci-fi action flick, which actually comes out better than you think, thanks to some slick production and a cast that, while blitzed, is not fall-down-on-your-face-after-a-night-cruising-the-frat-houses wasted.
One of the film's stars even took to Reddit to dispel any talk the cast really wasn't loaded:
A big question being asked repeatedly and understandably is: were all the actors REALLY drunk? The answer is a big YES! In fact, I personally got so wasted due to not timing my drinking correctly to when I was supposed to deliver, that I actually passed out and had to do it all over again (yes, get drunk all over again) a couple days later."
Ahh, only in America can you go online to prove you were indeed inebriated while doing your job. What a country!
As for what the cast of 'Sharknado' was on when they agreed to make that cult classic, well, that's under wraps.

This bibliography contains published works by LDS authors, including novels, short stories, poetry, theses/dissertations, articles, and interviews and also works published about LDS authors. My definition of "speculative fiction" has broadened as I've gone along. Some of the entries may seem only marginally sf, but I have included more than I've excluded (if I've found it) in an effort to be comprehensive. I have not included ebooks or web publications at this time, nor have I included foreign-language translations.
Forthcoming Works | Author Index | Addition/Correction
Authors Awards | Authors and Related Links | Links to Reviews
This is intended to be a comprehensive list. If you are LDS and have published criticism, poetry, or fiction related to sf/f/h, please let me know about it. Also, if there is anything you believe should be included that is not your own, tell me but be sure it is by a Mormon author. Or if you have a correction, please tell me. Comments are also welcome.
I am currently in process of adding links to places where listed books can be purchased. (I am an Amazon associate, which means I get a small kickback if you buy through the link, but Ive provided links to other places if Amazon doesn't have the book.) I also have an aStore of books by LDS authors. Drop by and see if there is anything you like!

Australian indie singer-songwriter Hudson's new song uses some beautiful stop motion animation in the video. Made in collaboration with animator Dropbear, it shows that colored pencils can still be quite exciting.
The song's called 'Against The Grain', and I love how the pencil equalizer beats along in time to the music. I suspect it was insanely difficult to get working, too. Now, excuse me while I go find my old coloring books. [Hudson via Reddit; Image: Dropbear]

District 5 incumbent David Medina draws five challengers
Running for a third term in District 5, Councilman David Medina bristles at opponents' claims he hasn't worked hard enough for the barrios of the West and South sides.
Progress may come slowly, Medina contends, but improvements abound in the overwhelmingly Hispanic and low-income district.
"I truly believe we need to continue the path we're on right now," said Medina, who's endorsed by Mayor Julián Castro.
Yet, five district residents disagree strongly enough to oppose Medina in the May 11 election, producing the largest field for any race other than mayor.
Challengers say the district needs a more engaged representative to address residents' routine concerns, lure jobs and upgrade infrastructure. They rip Medina's absenteeism from council sessions and question his responsiveness to residents.
Contenders include pawnshop co-owner Shirley Gonzales, businessman Richard Cardenas, attorney Ricardo Briones, wine retailer Frank Ramirez and insurance agent John Carlos Garcia, who sought the seat in 2009.
• Interactive map of new City Council districts
• Candidate questionnaires
Although the city is pouring millions into the district, they contend more could have been done. Challengers often assail Medina by citing a San Antonio Express-News report that he missed more council meetings than any other member in 2011-12.
District 5 has a toehold in Southtown, including the Blue Star Arts Complex, but it mainly comprises humble homes with legendary street, drainage and crime woes. District 5 includes part of the Port Authority of San Antonio, Our Lady of the Lake University, the downtown campus of UTSA, St. Philip's College Southwest Campus, and major employers including Steves & Sons.
The community has seen huge progress during his tenure, Medina said, citing reduced crime rates, $100 million in new infrastructure and $175 million in real estate developments. He cites upgrades for Rosedale, Martinez, Palm Heights and Normoyle parks, plus the opening of a senior center and plans for two more. Medina also points to city support for arts and college-readiness programs serving the district.
"I know how government works, how the budget operates," Medina said. "I understand what the challenges are," he said.
The incumbent dismisses critiques of his attendance record, saying most of the meetings he missed were briefings where no votes were taken. "I've been in well over 1,000 meetings just in the past two years," Medina said.

Bernal unopposed in District 1
Four vie to lead a changing District 2
Three fight for District 3 council seat
Young Saldaña faces younger challenger in District 4
District 5 incumbent David Medina draws five challengers
Castro ally López draws diverse opposition in District 6
Rodriguez returns to challenge Medina again in District 7
Three vying for open District 8 seat
Two-termer challenged by former employee in District 9
Conservative Soules challenged by libertarian, Democrat in District 10
Garcia, with a slogan of "a new direction" for District 5, said little has improved since he challenged Medina four years ago.
"I wasn't impressed then and I'm not impressed now," Garcia said. "I don't think we're getting what we deserve," he said, citing inadequate streets, sidewalks and economic development. He contends neighborhood associations should play a bigger role, and "I have the talent that it takes to bring people together to work on issues and overcome obstacles."
Ramirez, vowing not to raise taxes "on the working lifeblood of this city," said he offers "a voice that isn't hampered by political censorship or hidden agendas." District 5 residents are "disregarded," he contends.
"We need someone in there who won't be pushed around by big business, like David Medina is," Ramirez said.
An artist and musician, Ramirez also is a shaman who has sold the legal hallucinogenic salvia divinorum, but that's not relevant to his campaign, he insists.
"It doesn't involve politics at all. It's part of my religion and shouldn't be an issue," he said.
Gonzales, who touts her business acumen and compassion for neighborhood concerns, makes an issue of Medina's performance, often citing his attendance record as her reason for running.
"I feel that our district hasn't been represented properly over the last several years," Gonzales said. "There seems to be a general disrespect for the constituents," she said, adding she had trouble getting help from City Hall for issues including stray dogs.
"I'm qualified because I know how to build strong teams. I know how to grow businesses. I know how to grow organizations," she said. An avid triathlete, Gonzales also said she wants to make it easier and safer to walk and bike in the district's neighborhoods.
Cardenas held leadership roles with the South San Chamber of Commerce, Texas Restaurant Association and the Avenida Guadalupe Association. He rates economic progress as his biggest goal. Cardenas would like to see better housing and well-planned commercial corridors linking the district to downtown. He bemoans the slow redevelopment of the downtown UTSA area and old stockyards, and he laments city "neglect" of District 5.
"Districtwide, there's no involvement, no communication, lots of apathy. District 5 consistently has the lowest turnout because people think it doesn't matter," Cardenas said. He, too, criticizes Medina's meeting absences and delays in making appointments to boards and commissions.
For Briones, the race is all about improving the district's representation.
"It's been criminally neglected for years. Walking the streets, the infrastructure is atrocious," Briones said. "While a lot of good things have come to District 5 ... there could be a lot more leveraging" of public and private funds, he said.
"I've shown that I have a really good track record of working with people, finding common ground," Briones said. He lists "streets, crime and jobs" as his focus.
The attorney said he gained leadership skills mentoring youth and serving as board president of San Anto Cultural Arts. Briones is not related to District 8 candidate Rolando Briones.

Cloud HR software: Time to rip out that legacy system?
Adopting cloud HR software requires identifying where the cloud offers advantages, according to Liz Garnand, and making sure cloud HR providers have the right privacy and security controls.
Cloud computing and Software as a Service (SaaS) are increasingly popular with consumers, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and large companies alike. According to Morgan Stanley and other research companies, IT decision makers are expected to increase their use of cloud applications and workloads over the next few years. For human resources, if the pressure is not yet there for deciding whether to move in-house HR systems to cloud HR software, expect to know these answers soon.
According to Forrester Research Inc., the leading categories for SaaS migration this year will be customer relationship management (CRM), procurement, collaboration and human capital management (HCM) applications. With other companies touting HCM applications' relatively high cloud appeal, there's little doubt that HR is in the queue for change.
Pressure to outsource to the cloud just to cut IT costs is still present in many organizations. But migrating anything new can be overwhelming and risky, especially if the current environment is complex. If an HCM, HRM or ERP application has multiple connections to databases, supports many organizations or is dependent on legacy systems, the cloud migration project will be substantial. Organizations that fail to establish clear requirements and processes for cloud migration, especially for more complex HR environments, may find outsourcing very costly, especially if employee or financial data is not secured.
But the silver lining in this cloud opportunity could be very bright indeed for HR departments. Not only does cloud HR software hold potential cost savings but -- even better -- it can be the key to creating that strategic and cultural change that helps organizations become more effective and competitive.
I recommend developing a request for proposals (RFP) before buying cloud HR software. An RFP can elicit very specific responses from cloud vendors and help the organization decide whether to go to the cloud at all. Identifying RFP criteria can help distinguish the merits of the in-house HR software and a new cloud HR alternative.
General RFP components
- Service Level Agreements (SLAs): Cloud HR software can often outperform a strained, internally supported IT system in terms of speed, downtime, backup and disaster recovery. But it's important to examine cloud HR software SLAs to know what to expect.
- Certification: Find out the degree to which they are certified with SAS-70/SSAE 16 Statement on Auditing Standards for performance, quality processes and security.
- Security: Verify that the cloud HR provider has adequate security measures, such as encryption, intrusion detection and data separation between multi-tenant SaaS customers. Ask for objective third-party assessments.
- Longevity: Identify migration options in the event of a vendor's demise or at end-of-contract.
- Single sign-on (SS0): Many companies are challenged with implementing SSO capability, where users enter their identity and password only once and the authentication server connects them to the appropriate applications and information. Cloud HR applications can add IDs and passwords, thereby increasing the risk of information leaks and security breaches. Knowing a vendor's ability to connect with authentication servers is important for supporting current or future SSO capability.
- Cost: Analyze a cloud HR software provider's cost model with care. Although economies of scale from a provider's shared infrastructure can reduce costs, variable fees can add up over time.
HR-specific requirements
- HR applications extending to external partners: Give priority to applications that are best suited for cloud computing. SaaS HR software that supports the "gray edges" of an organization may be the best fit; employees, contractors and partners often need to access similar information. For example, a SaaS training certification application may be better than an in-house training system at incorporating partner trainee information.
- Company legal responsibilities: Due diligence on the cloud HR software provider's contract is a must. With cloud deployment, the customer is still responsible for legal issues such as employee privacy and who has access to what information. For example, companies with employees in Europe face much stricter protections for data than U.S.-only companies. Employee information must be placed with cloud HR software providers who create a U.S. "safe harbor" and can comply with specific laws of the European Economic Area.
- Data maintenance and integration drain: Check to see what functions come off the shelf and which require customization for data connections to existing HR systems. This can help minimize maintenance and upkeep costs of both incumbent and SaaS HR vendors.
Cloud HR as organizational change agent
Cloud computing presents new opportunities for organizational change, and cloud HR software in particular can take organizations beyond traditional HR functions like payroll, performance and benefits management. HR managers should take the lead in identifying new SaaS applications that can develop the communications, cooperation, coordination and collaboration necessary to make their companies more effective and competitive.
I spoke to Shadrach White, CEO of cloudPWR, a Seattle-based vendor that helps companies make investments in cloud systems. White said, "Adopting a social business solution is an effective way to incorporate cultural shift and gain IT familiarity with cloud." Said another IT professional: "New HR-related SaaS solutions are giving better and quicker access to resource and contact information within my company and also information on our partners."
What are the HR applications that could create organizational change? The list is long, and includes online collaboration on recruitment, training certification, organizational management and charts, distant learning, time and attendance, repository and workflow of company forms and -- perhaps most especially -- leading change by using social media for employee communications and collaboration. Perhaps a new application that's not so intertwined with existing -- and complex -- HR systems is the best place to start making the shift to the cloud.

Those with enough cash can live in the lap of media-mogul luxury.
Oprah Winfrey on Tuesday placed her eight-room, 4,607 square-foot Streeterville condo on the market for $2.8 million.
Oprah never made the condo her home after paying $5.6 million for it in 2006. Instead she opted to continue living in a different building a few blocks away.
The unit up for sale is one of 13 1913 Beaux-Arts style co-ops by famous architect Benjamin Marshall. The condo features 10-foot ceilings, an inner foyer, library, butler's pantry, wine room and an en-suite guest bedroom.
Attempts to sell the condo for $6 million in June 2008 for were unsuccessful. Subsequently the condo was put up for rent at $15,000 per month until January 2009, according to reports.
Suzie Pearson, a representative from Prudential Rubloff Properties, confirmed reports that this unit is indeed Winfrey's and it was put on the market Tuesday. The real estate consultant for Winfrey's co-op was not available for comment.
Winfrey ended her stay in Chicago last May after 25 years of her internationally known talk show. Oprah can't seem to leave Chicago behind, though. She owns multiple properties in the Chicago area but primarily lives in her estate in Montecito, Calif. where she launched her network OWN in 2011.

Health insurance is an insurance category that covers part of the costs of the insured person's health costs, including medical and surgical expenses. Different types of health insurance are available. Depending on the coverage desired by the insured, the individual pays out-of-pocket costs and receives reimbursement from the insurer or the insurance company directly pays the insured's provider. Wirefly simplifies the health insurance plan comparison process in Gordon, WI. Get a free online health insurance quote from Wirefly.
Health insurance policies in Gordon, WI may be available through an employer group insurance policy or through a private insurance policy between the insured and the insurance company. Health insurance is also available to senior citizens and disabled persons through Medicare. Medicaid is a federal insurance program that is administered at the state level. It helps low-income individuals get health care. Both Medicare and Medicaid programs provide health insurance at lower costs than private health insurance policies.
Private health insurance is available to the insured with various levels of coverage. For instance, a plan with inexpensive premium costs may cover only catastrophic events while a higher-cost premium plan offers full health care coverage. It is important for individuals and families to anticipate health care needs before selecting a health insurance plan.
Since it is difficult to know exactly what medical costs will be incurred throughout the year, it can be tricky to determine the amount of health coverage you need. Using an indicator to estimate upcoming costs can assist you in making an educated guess regarding future medical expenses. For instance, if you are generally healthy and only visit your physician on an infrequent basis, a low-cost plan may provide sufficient coverage for your situation. Alternatively, if you have been diagnosed with a chronic disease that requires frequent doctor's visits, you may want to consider a higher cost plan that includes a wider range of coverage.
Catastrophic-only insurance offers one of the lowest-priced options for health insurance coverage in Gordon, WI. This is ideal for individuals who rarely visit the doctor or only wish to be covered in the event of a significant emergency. Alternatively, if you travel often or participate in dangerous activities, it may be wise to have a plan that covers visits to the ER or regular visits to a physician.
Plans that offer more coverage usually come with a more costly monthly premium. Essentially, this means that a higher monthly premium will equate to lower health care costs in the event of a claim. For this reason, it is essential to evaluate your health history and lifestyle to determine the most economical option based on your specific needs. Be sure to cover the basics and increase your coverage as needed or as your budget allows.
In Gordon, WI, there are many different types of health insurance plans available. Although some of them offer the same level of coverage, they may afford varying levels of convenience and flexibility. HMO, PPO, POS, HSA, HRA, FSA, and MSA are some of the choices available. As confusing as it seems, realizing their fundamental differences is of great importance before selecting of plan.
With the Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) network, the insured is required to select a primary healthcare physician to monitor all of their health-related needs. As such, if the insured needs to see a specialist, they have to go to their primary care physician first. The insured will only obtain a referral if the primary healthcare doctor thinks the consultation is necessary. Compared to the other plans, HMOs usually have a lower monthly premium. However, some healthcare providers don't accept HMO insurance plans, and this means that the network of physicians available to the insured might be limited. Aside from the fact that the out-of-pocket costs featured are often reasonable, HMO plans do not have any deductibles.
A Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan in Gordon, WI usually involves an extensive network of healthcare providers. Because of the number of physicians involved, the insured can choose a primary health care provider from within the network and seek the services of a specialist without a referral. While visiting the hospitals and medical service providers involved in the network offers the best financial coverage, partial funding might also be available for costs incurred outside of the network. Typically, PPO plans have copayments, deductibles, and limits on the out-of-pocket amount spent yearly.
A Point of Service (POS) plan combines the benefits offered by the HMO and PPO plans. The Point of Service plans provides an appropriately sized network of healthcare providers from which the insured can choose a primary care physician. Aside from enjoying low co-payments, you won't pay any deductibles if you stay within the network. However, the deductibles and copayments will be high if the insured sees a physician outside the network.
Some of the health insurance solutions available in Gordon, WI are not conventional. These insurance plans include the Health Savings Account (HSA), Health Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA), Health Reimbursement Account (HRA), and Medical Savings Account (MSA). For all of these accounts to operate, an individual and his/her employer have to set aside some money for healthcare-related expenses. Additionally, the money has to be placed in a tax-exempt savings account. Participants can use the money to pay for prescription drugs, medical consultations, surgical treatments, and even over the counter medications in some cases. These health insurance plans allow a lot of flexibility when it comes to how the money is used. Depending on the program, you might be able to rollover any unused money to the next year.
Your health insurance premium is the amount of money you pay monthly in order to keep your health insurance coverage active. This money will not be returned to you no matter if you use your insurance or not. Your deductible is the amount of money you are required to pay up front at the time of a medical appointment. Any money that is still owed to the health care provider after the deductible is paid will be covered by your insurance company.
Deductibles and out of pocket costs are two different things. Your deductible is the amount you are responsible for paying before you insurance starts to pay. Your out of pocket costs are the amount you will pay before your insurance company reimburses you for your bill. Both deductibles and out of pocket costs start over at the beginning of the year. The expenses of the year prior do have an affect on your future costs.
For example, let's say you have a deductible of $3,000 and you only spend $1,000 out of pocket. If you keep the same insurance plan, your out of pocket costs reset to $0 and the amount you spent previously does not roll over. However, there are some plans that let you roll over your deductible toward the first quarter of the next year. This is not standard and will be clearly stated if this is the case.
Your copayment is the amount you are responsible for paying for a regular medical visit or service. This is also called a coinsurance payment. So, if your copayment is $25, you will be required to pay that $25 every time you go to visit your primary care provider. Your insurance will cover any balance left over, as long as the service is covered by your insurance plan. Copayments do not apply to deductibles.
Your insurance company might also give you something called a maximum lifetime benefit. A maximum lifetime benefit is the total amount of money that your health insurance provider will provide for health care. After this amount is reached, your insurance company will not pay any more medical claims.
The health insurance plans that are open to you in Gordon, WI depend a lot on your employment status. If you work full time for a large company, you may be able to get insurance through your business. This is typically a group insurance plan that is more affordable than individual health care. However, you are not required to purchase insurance through your place of work.
If you are unemployed or self-employed, you will most likely need to purchase an individual health insurance plan. This is provided by a private company. If you are a retired senior, you may be eligible to receive government assistance with the Medicare program. If you have a low income, you may have the option of applying for government assistance in the form of Medicaid.
You may choose to discuss your insurance options with your regular health care provider, especially if you wish to continue seeing them. Also, you should inform your doctor in Gordon, WI if your health insurance plan changes. Speak with a representative from your insurance provider if you have any further questions.
You already know how important it is to have a good health insurance plan for yourself and your family. Now you need to find out which plan and company offer the best options that fit your needs. There are many options to consider, and choosing a health insurance plan in Gordon, WI can be an overwhelming experience.

Haunted Tree Suckers are Spellbinding and Simple. Great for Halloween parties and fall gatherings, these chocolate suckers will add a spooky spectacle to any celebration. When I saw these molds I couldn't resist the petrified faces on these trees and immediately wanted to make a haunted forest of chocolate trees.
This project is wonderful for beginning chocolatiers because you need only a few supplies and one color of chocolate. To make these chocolate pops I use the haunted tree chocolate mold, one 12 oz squeeze bottle, one pint glass (this is to hold the squeeze bottle), 16 milk chocolate melts, and 4.5″ lollipop sticks.
Place the a lollipop stick in each one of the mold cavities and then squeeze chocolate into each cavity. Be careful not to overfill the molds because this will cause the chocolate to flow outside of the cavity and will create a border. If you overfill the mold, just wait until the chocolate has set because the excess chocolate can be trimmed away once it has solidified.
Tap the mold on your work surface to release air bubbles and ensure that the chocolate fills in all of the crevices. You can also hold the mold above your head to see if air bubbles remain. Continue tapping until air bubbles no longer rise to the surface.
Put the mold in the refrigerator for ten to fifteen minutes. Flip the mold onto a flat surface and the suckers should release easily.

A citizen is a terrible thing to waste
The first time I met Guillermo Guzman he had just done the butterfly stroke across Crescent Bay and back in September. I had taken his photograph for possible use in the paper and so introduced myself and asked his name.
His thick Mexican accent was compounded by the fact that he was shivering terribly, his teeth chattering, yet he politely entered conversation as if he weren't dying to get dried off from the frigid lake water.
I've had little interaction with him since that 2009 encounter until this spring, when he hit on the idea of raising money for a field trip. He wanted to take his Spanish students to an event where they would be at least semi-immersed in the language and get a taste of Mexican culture as well, a Mariachi band festival in Wenatchee.
His plan was to put his own skilled labor up for donations. He is a certified computer technician, he told me, and he could raise the extra money that way.
As high school students can be, his seemed less than enthused about the idea when I visited the classroom at his invitation. But while there, I learned that he had taught himself guitar and started a Mariachi band while he attended the University of Washington, open to anyone — a couple Mexicans, some white guys, a couple African Americans. They were terrible, his brother told me Monday, but they got much better and eventually got fairly good.
The determination to set goals and see them through despite obstacles speaks to the character of a man. Guzman realized his dream of becoming an educator through hard work, intelligence and incredible energy. He lives very simply so that he can send money to his mother in Mexico, and while he is in jail pesters his brother to not forget to send her money.
Knowing all this made it very hard to listen for hours to attorneys in court hang onto the slimmest of arguments in hopes of negating a police case against a client the police said they had caught dealing drugs on a dark street. Our system prioritizes such efforts ahead of hearing whether a man pleads guilty or not, no matter that he has spent his life overcoming obstacles, earning his knowledge and offering bits of experience and wisdom to children who may not appreciate it, and doing it all with a smile.
Our country needs citizens with such attributes. And yet, 12 years after he initially applied to become one, Guzman found himself waiting again in a red jumpsuit unbefitting such a human.
Our system of laws on immigration needs to be fixed sooner than later. We are wasting good citizens.

Photographer's Note
Richmond, British Columbia
Richmond is a coastal city, incorporated in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Part of Metro Vancouver, its neighbouring communities are Vancouver and Burnaby to the north, New Westminster to the east, and Delta to the south, while the Strait of Georgia forms its western border. Richmond is the location of Vancouver International Airport.
The city was named after a local farmstead established by Hugh McRoberts. A daughter of his chose this name for their farm after one of the Richmonds in Australia (it is unknown exactly which one it is). The wife of the first reeve of Richmond, England later claimed that the city was named in honour of her birthplace. However, modern historians proved this claim to be false, since the Boyds immigrated to Richmond in 1863, but there had already been a pamphlet called "A Visit to Richmond" made in British Columbia in September 1862.
* November 10, 1879 — Richmond was incorporated as a District Municipality.
* March 25, 1910 — The first flight in British Columbia was made from Minoru Racetrack.
* December 3, 1990 — Richmond was designated as a City.
An early centre of European (and later, Japanese) settlement in Richmond was the old fishing village of Steveston on the southwestern tip of Lulu Island. Steveston is now home to several museums and heritage sites, as well as a working harbour for fishing boats.
During an afternoon stroll opposite of the airport of Richmond i saw a lot of airplanes to take off like this one.
Currently, London Heritage Farm, the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and the Britannia Shipyard National Historic Site in Steveston highlight these parts of Richmond's diverse history.

Hello Danos, very good picture of this beautiful and interesting composition with the marvelous reflection well captured in this interesting image with good sharpness, light and color. Very good and interesting job well done, congratulations my friend. Thanks for sharing this beautiful work.
Good night and happy weekend.
Warm greetings from southern Spain.
No_One (4) 2014-01-31 10:27
hi Danos,
That mirror is magnificent! TO have a scene with these colors is alone a beautiful thing, the plane adding a touch of magic to it, but to have the whole thing in duplicate is very special indeed. I love the muted understated colors and it is incredible how still that water is! Amazing moment.
Thanks as always
ourania (51103) 2014-01-31 10:55
Καλησπέρα Δάνο,
μια πολύ όμορφη εικόνα σε ελκυστική αφαιρετική σύνθεση. Μου αρέσει πάρα πολύ η ομοιομορφία του φόντου και το πώς το τοπίο μοιάζει να αιωρείται. Θαυμάσιος ο τρόπος που χειρίστηκες τη συμμετρία κατεβάζοντας το τοπίο από τη μέση του κάδρου. Ο φωτισμός και τα χρώματα δημιουργούν μια μοναδική αίσθηση ηρεμίας και το αεροπλάνο είναι μια πραγματικά συναρπαστική έκπληξη με το άνοιγμα της εικόνας. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,
Fis2 (145564) 2014-01-31 12:37
Witaj Danos!
Excellent composition and frame.
Wonderful reflection.

Hello dear Danos,
Small but very beatiful ! Very good layout and perfect mirroring effect.
And the plane on takeoff adds a unique taste to your compo.
TFS and have a nice wekeend
jacquest (19251) 2014-01-31 14:02
Hello Danos,
This is a great view with the perfect reflections on the water including the one of the plane which makes it quite special. Good natural colors in an image of very good quality.
Best regards
Miguel82 (38767) 2014-01-31 15:30
High quality picture and perfect symetric view of the mountain reflection on the water surface Danos, an airport and a plane are visible, all the best, good evening
carlo62 (81155) 2014-01-31 15:41
Ciao Danos
una foto molto bella, giа molto piacevole come panorama e come riflesso, con l'aggiunta dell'aereo и diventata fantastica.
pierrefonds (95743) 2014-01-31 16:23
Hi Danos,
The reflections on the water are assets to the composition. The wideness of the sea is giving depth to the scene. You have captured well the take off of the aircraft. The Sunset is giving nice colours to the sky. Have a nice day.
PaulVDV (49034) 2014-01-31 17:31
Hello Danos,
Now, this is a picture that you can turn upside down. The reflections are perfect like in a mirror.
Beautiful colours and very nice with the plane taking off.
Best regards, Paul
kato (11630) 2014-01-31 20:03
Hi Danos,
You're capturing well this place by a good panoramic view, a good composition, and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the sunset at Richmond with the gulf, Vancouver International Airport and low mountain range in the distance. It's so tasteful and effective for the sky dyed to setting sun and the reflection projected to the gulf. And an airplane taking off airport runway draws out a special good atmosphere in this image.
Kind regards,
Corry (4508) 2014-01-31 20:46
Bonsoir Danos
Belle vue panoramique qui nous permet de voir double avec les reflets dans l'eau. Le ciel est magnifique. Bien fait.
papagolf21 (146840) 2014-01-31 23:08
Bonjour, cher ami Danos,
Trиs belle image d'un avion qui s'envole pour un pays lointain (le rкve est permis).
Trиs jolie rйalisation tout en nuances.
J'aime beaucoup.
ikeharel (100199) 2014-02-01 0:53
Kalimera Danos,
That's an old DC-9 taken-off at the time you were aiming to take this shot.
Fabulous equally divided scene, between real landscape and its reflection.
Golden light mingle with the last blue tone on sky before sunset, superbly applied and gave a great backdrop to the seascape view.
Impressive and pleasent to watch.
Enjoy a nice weekend,
Subhogen (4067) 2014-02-01 3:02
Hello Danos,
What a fine sun set photo with absolute mirror reflections on the still water. The plane taking off adds both drama and some motion to the otherwise idyllic shot. Splendid shot with natural colours and excellent clarity. Very well done, thanks for sharing.
mirosu (16313) 2014-02-01 3:11
Hi Danos,
This is an excellent photo in nice sunset light. The arrangement with the taking-off airplane is superb, the reflections on quiet water beautiful. Well framed in long landscape format.

Hi Danos.
Spectacular .... this great panoramic, these still waters, producing some wonderful reflections, as if they were a mirror, with good view of the airport and the mountains to the bottom line, the plane taking off is a great bonus.
Magnificent this palette.
Perfect light management and sharpness.
Well done. I love it.
Enjoy the weekend.
Best wishes.

another good one from you. A nice atmosphere created by the evening soft light. Like the reflection in water. Great time to press shutter with the aeroplane in a nice position in the frame. Excellent one with subtle colour tone. Tfs.
macjake (93825) 2014-02-02 4:03
Hi Danos
haha....nice to see my hometown area!
I have always found it strange that they call this Vancouver International Airport when its actually located in Richmond!
I wonder how many people fly into 'vancouver' thinking its Vancouver!!!!!
cool looking photo here, i've never seen this viewpoing before - especially with the plane and its reflections.
job well done
jhm (193931) 2014-02-02 4:43
Hello Danos,
A lovely mirror picture with the airplane as shade in water.
You play wonderful with light and shadows with the dark lines along the edge of the water.
You create depth and perspective through your excellent choice of your angle.
Colours and composition are pleasant to look at.
Very well done, TFS.
Have a nice Sunday,
ricardomattos (12583) 2014-02-02 7:56

Δάνο γεια σου,
άλλη μια συναρπαστική φωτό από το αεροδρόμιο του Vancouver.
Η αντανάκλαση του αεροπλάνου καθώς και του εδάφους στην εντελώς λεία επιφάνεια της θάλασσας κάνει τη σκηνή τόσο εντυπωσιακή,όσο και μοναδική και χάρμα οφθαλμών,

amazing view. I like very much the smooth 100% reflection which doubles the whole scene. Great POV on the town. By including the further panorama we have a feeling of vast space. The plane taking off is a icing on the cake. Excellent work,
mcmtanyel (56860) 2014-02-06 20:49
Hello Danos,
What a beautiful symmetry you have captured with the reflection off the water! The color streaks near the shore are lovely and the airplane taking off just makes this photo.

josepmarin (59385) 2014-02-10 4:56
Hi Danos,
the horizontal symmetry of the landscape and its beautiful reflections on the water, which you have caught skilfully by means of a good framing, creates a very attractive image at sight.
I like the soft light and the nice colors, and the inclusion of an airplane taking-off.
A superb work, my friend.
Best regards,
