I fully intended to make focaccia today for the whole Baking with Julia thing. I cracked open my cookbook, all ready to make bread, when my eye caught the line "This dough is mixed quickly in a heavy-duty mixer, allowed to rise, and then refrigerated for at least twenty-four hours, the time it needs to set that bubbly structure in place."
Whoopsie, I guess the focaccia isn't going to be baked today.
Which turned out for the best because I ended up making a quick apple cranberry pecan pie/crisp for Larry to take to a shiva call this evening. Thus bringing us to the mini apple tart.
I had a small amount of dough left after I trimmed the edges of the pie crust. I didn't want it to go to waste and since I wasn't going to get any pie, I decided to make a little tart for myself using one of my 4 inch tart pans.
Two apples were peeled, cored, and cut into small pieces. I tossed the apple chunks with a bit of brown sugar and squeezed on some lemon juice. The apple mixture was then packed into the waiting crust in the tart pan. For the topping I made a mixture of flour, brown sugar, ground ginger, and butter. I cut the butter into the dry ingredients and then sprinkled it on top of the apples. Into the oven at 350 and about half and hour later I had a luscious little tart.
Using just ginger was a nice change of pace. The pie I sent off with Larry had just ginger and I decided to give it a whirl. Both the tart and the pie were very tasty, Larry told me the one he brought got rave reviews. I'll have to post about it another time.

I discovered Small Caps via her Flickr photo stream. She runs a letterpress stationery shop out of Berlin. This photo album caught my eye so I contacted her and asked if she could find a California map for the cover.
She was able to find a German map of the United States. Doesn't it make a great cover? I wanted this for the photos from my birthday trip. Tony took me on a California road trip up the coast. We went to Big Sur, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco.
I think the photos look great on the black paper. I just attached them with archival double stick tape.
I only took film cameras on that trip. I'm just now realizing that I never shared them- I will tomorrow.
See Small Caps etsy and dawanda shop.

Suspected Boko Haram gunmen kidnap 20 women in northeast
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria – Suspected Boko Haram gunmen have reportedly kidnapped 20 women from a nomadic settlement in northeast Nigeria near the town of Chibok, where the Islamic militants abducted more than 300 schoolgirls and young women on April 15.
Alhaji Tar, a member of the vigilante groups set up to resist Boko Haram's attacks, says the men arrived at noon Thursday in the Garkin Fulani settlement and forced the women to enter their vehicles at gunpoint. He says they drove away to an unknown location in the remote stretch of Borno state.
Tar says the group also kidnapped three young men who tried to stop the kidnapping.
Boko Haram wants to establish an Islamic state in Nigeria. Some 275 of the kidnapped girls remain missing.

Reader: School choir singing about Allah is okay, but not a song praising Jesus
Last week's post about Grand Junction High School student James Harper, who quit the school choir rather than sing an A.R. Rahman song that praised Allah, inspired comments from folks with extremely disparate opinions.
Here's one from a Harper defender with a keen eye for hypocrisy.
Kkhflyfish writes:
I'm not a Christian or a conservative. But think about it, it's true.... If they were made to sing a song that praised Jesus, there would be quite a stink. But a song with a line about praising Allah is okay? And the comment about Allah being just another harmless name for God.... Come on, U can't be that naive. Every religion calls their "god" by a specific name, and in Islam it is Allah. We all know this. It's just another example of the "reverse discrimination" that's going on. We are supposed to be "tolerant" of gays, muslims, people from all different countries and cultures... everyone except straight white Christians. Aren't we supposed to be tolerant of EVERYONE, including those who think or live differently than we do? I'm sorry, but this kid has a point. And the reporter jumping on Fox News.... So EVERY media outlet is supposed to be liberal biased? We can't have ONE channel for conservatives? Doesn't sound very tolerant to me. Let's reverse it.... If there was a choir song about Jesus being sung, and some Muslim kid in the choir didn't want to sing it, I'm sure that would be okay. But since the kid is obviously a Christian, he's a great target for the overwhelmingly liberal media. Remember, I'm not a Republican or some Fox News fan, just someone who know hypocrisy when they see it.

Today is a non-ham radio blog entry……which I do every once in a long while.
Some of you may have noticed the photo of the Chinook Helicopter at the top of this page. That photo was taken at a small gravel airstrip on Ellesmere Island called Eureka in the high Arctic. I had the pleasure of spending three summers there during the 1980's flying as a Loadmaster on board the Chinooks of 450 Transport Helicopter Squadron.
In 1996 Canada retired its Chinooks and sold them to the Royal Netherlands Air Force where they continue to soldier on and fly today. In fact until we bought our own, Dutch Chinooks actually carried Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan…..kind of ironic!
Canada disbanded 450 Squadron and went without heavy lift helicopters until 2005 when we purchased several 'second hand' Chinook airframes from the US Army, and used them with great success in Afghanistan. They filled a need, and probably saved the lives of numerous Canadian soldiers who could now fly safely into camps and the out-stations instead of driving in vehicles on the IED infested dirt roads.
So why am I writing about this today? Good question. Today, a day I never thought I would see, the Minister of National Defence announced the reformation of 450 Tactical Helicopter Squadron. The squadron will be based in Petawawa, Ontario, and will have 15 F-Model Chinooks. These Chinooks will have a heavy lift capability to carry up to 40 personnel or 11 363 kilograms of cargo.
I'm also extremely pleased, and proud, that LCol Duart Townsend will be the first Commanding Officer of the reborn 450 Tactical Helicopter Squadron. LCol Townsend was the very last Chinook pilot to be trained as part of the original 450 Tactical Helicopter Squadron before it was disbanded in 1996. We veterans of the original Squadron can rest assured that our customs and traditions will be passed on to the new Squadron by the new Commanding Officer.
For those ex-members of 450 Squadron, today's announcement is a great thing. It ensures that the history we made in our youth will not be forgotten. To the ex-members it also means that the aircrew, and support crew, who died in the flying accidents aboard Chinook's 147001 and 147002 will be remembered and honoured by the Squadron, and not just by those who remember them.
May the new 450 Squadron only have 'Fair Winds and Blue Skies'!

Video: Rockets' Omer Asik warned for flopping
Tim Duncan is strong, but not that strong.
Omer Asik has been officially warned by the league for flopping after he exaggerated contact in a Dec. 10 Rockets game against the Spurs. Battling for a loose ball with Duncan, Asik took an elbow in the chest and proceeded to throw his head back as if he'd been punched.
The official was fooled by Asik's acting, hitting Duncan with a loose-ball foul.
Asik has a solid reputation for flopping antics, but with the league's crackdown, he's now been caught in the act.
Asik joins Chauncey Billups, Kevin Martin, Patrick Patterson, J.J. Barea, Zaza Pachulia, Donald Sloan as players warned for flopping. Reggie Evans and Gerald Wallace are the only two players who have incurred fines.
This is Asik's first warning, meaning there's no penalty. His next violation will result in a $5,000 fine.

Sassy Sweets: Cookie-Brownie Double Deckers
What a week, right?! I cannot believe how many delicious brownie recipes you can come up with when you're stuck in the house with snow swirling all around you!
These brownies come from a literal photocopy of my mom's original. It is literally a half-page of print without any way to discern a source. This photocopy has swirled around each of my apartments (4) in the past 5 years. Somehow I never lose it and that is either a testament to these brownies or my organizational skills. And considering at this very moment, my passport seems to be MIA, I am going with the fact that these are seriously delicious brownies!
I hadn't posted them until now because, to be honest, it's really hard to photograph them...since they disappear so quickly! I rarely make a big pan for John and I - it's usually for barbeques, time with my family or John's family, or for friends' houses. Never a good time to stop a horde of hungry people to snap a few pictures. Sure, John understands (barely) but most people don't understand the life of poor food bloggers! Hehe. Anyway, there couldn't be a sweeter way to end this week. And, if you missed any, here are all the posts for Brownie Week:
Homemade Brownie Mix
Raspberry White Chocolate Brownies
Dulce de Leche Brownies
Tiramisu Brownies
Cookie-Brownie Double Deckers
Serves: 24
Chocolate Chip Layer:
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Brownie Layer:
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup flour
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil. The foil should extend over the pan on both ends.
Chocolate Chip Layer: Melt butter in the microwave or over low heat. Whisk in the brown sugar until smooth. Let cool. Meanwhile, make the brownie layer.
Brownie Layer: Melt butter. Whisk in cocoa until smooth and well-combined. Whisk in sugar, then, once it's fully combined, whisk in eggs and vanilla. Stir in flour with a spatula until just blended. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
Chocolate Chip Layer: Whisk in egg and vanilla. Stir in flour and baking soda with a wooden spoon until blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls over the brownie batter and lightly spread to completely cover.
Bake 35 - 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the centercomes out with moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake, they are best when they are fudgy. Lift the brownie s out of the pan by the tin foil and let cool. Then cut into 24 bars. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Until the next time my oven is on...

Eden Prairie
Eden Prairie is available in knitCompanion.
Inspired by a piece of Prairie-style stained glass, Eden Prairie is my interpretation of that style in a knitted fabric. The shawl is worked from the top down, but the construction method is unique. Starting with two separate triangles that are joined by a diamond, Eden Prairie grows by alternately working stripes on one side then the other. A simple 10-row modified intarsia border heightens the stained glass effect. Constructed entirely in garter stitch, not a purl in sight, Eden Prairie is wonderfully squishy!
If anyone is put off by the idea of intarsia, please look at AgileKnitter's Eden Prairie on the left. She simplified the shawl by leaving out all the intarsia. I think it's lovely!
Size: 60" wide x 26" deep
Recommended yarn:
Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light, 100% superwash merino, 420 yards per skein, 1 skein each Oak (C1), Winter Wheat (C2), Onyx (BC) and Sequoia (C3). Actual yardage needed is approximately 365 yards each of C1 and C2, 175 yards of BC and 105 yards of C3.
Pattern assumes you can cast on, bind off and pick up stitches. All other techniques are fully explained.

Don't Stand So Close To Me! An Investigation into Personal Space *
How do you feel when a friend comes too close to you? How far away or close do you think is necessary to have a conversation with someone? The answers to these questions are dependent upon the size of your personal space. Some people like to be within a foot of each other when having a conversation and others feel that being 3 feet apart is still just a little too close for comfort.Personal space is defined as the protective area surrounding a person's body (not necessarily spherical in size) that the person regards as psychologically his or hers. Invasion of personal space can lead to discomfort, anger, or anxiety. In the animal kingdom, personal space differs from territory in that it is mobile. We take our personal space wherever we go. Another difference is that territory boundaries are fixed, whereas personal space has dynamic boundaries, dependent upon the situation. When person 1 enters person 2's personal space, person 2 will usually get very uncomfortable and withdraw from the vicinity. As someone gets closer to us, we pick up on cues that give us information about that person. For example, as someone gets closer, we pick up on thermal, olfactory, and facial cues. Some of these cues might signal that we should get away from that person immediately!
There are many different questions you can ask about personal space. For example, at what age do humans start to develop their personal space? When do we start to learn socially acceptable behavior when interacting with other people? Does the size of a person's personal space depend upon his or her gender? Are personal space boundaries equal in all directions? Does it matter if someone walks straight toward us or sidles up next to us? Are there different personal space zones? How does culture affect personal space? If these questions interest you and you are not too afraid to get close, then you ought to attempt this science project! To get some ideas on how to set up personal space testing, check out the references in the Bibliography.

I have a guest designer. I am fortunate to have Mary Perterson working with a set of my SVG files. Mary is working with the Animal Barnyard collection. Mary used the sheep from the collection to make her first of hopefully many projects.
Mary tells me, "The star and moon paper, and the plaid paper is from Paper Studios. I used Recollections pink to create the flower border (a file I created) and Recollections yellow cardstock.
For the sheep, I did a print and cut for the face, using MTC and my Cougar. I cut out all the pieces in three different sizes. I wrapped the single body piece with Red Heart Buttercup white yarn to give the sheep some "wool". I also used the yarn on the tail and the head."
I can't wait so see more from Mary.

Games with profane titles
Group Description
Games where its title explicitly uses words that may spark controversy towards a particular norm, ideal, faith or religion, gender, race, sexual preference, etc., deemed by the majority of the civilized world to be simply in poor taste. In other cases, the use of such words are purely for parody purposes in exercising free speech (in countries that allow free speech, that is), though still a clear representation of bad taste, subjectively speaking (specified social group depending).Limitations
- A definite politically incorrect word must be apparent in the game title, may it be in proper English (or in its original language) or slang. Words that may have two or more meanings (depending on your imagination), however do not represent the original intention of the developer should be excluded from this game group.
- For future reference, the following words are not deemed to be politically incorrect: sex, scientific designations for reproductive, genital, or digestive organs/processes; scientific designations for sexual preference; dick (when used as slang for detective).
- Alternate titles for the game, such as working titles, also qualify for this game group.
- If a dispute arises in question to whether a word is politically incorrect or not (or simply put, not vulgar enough), consider whether or not that particular word can be freely used on public TV networks with conservative censorship.

On March 28, 2013, the Court of Appeals, New York's highest court, issued a decision in Overstock.com, Inc. & Amazon.com, LLC, et al., holding that New York's "click-through nexus" statute does not violate the Commerce Clause or the Due Process Clause of the U.S. Constitution. As a result, an Internet vendor may be presumed to have nexus in New York, and be required to collect sales tax from New York customers, when a link to the vendor's website appears on websites of New York residents who are compensated via a commission arrangement.
The New York law was amended in 2008 to provide a presumption that the definition of a "vendor," required to collect New York State sales tax on sales to New York customers, includes an entity that enters into an agreement with a New York resident under which the resident refers potential customers, including via a link on a website, "for a commission or other consideration." Amazon and Overstock challenged the facial constitutionality of that presumption.
The Court of Appeals found that it was rational for the state legislature to presume that New York residents who were compensated on a commission basis would seek to increase their business by soliciting New York customers, and that the ability to rebut the presumption through an annual certification "sensibly" placed the burden on the retailers to demonstrate the lack of solicitation activities.
One judge dissented, finding that the placing of links on a website was no more than advertising, and that the change in compensation method for such advertising—from a flat fee to a commission—does not change its essential nature.
This decision is important to all Internet vendors who have relationships with "affiliates" and other business partners, not only in New York but in other states that have enacted similar statutes. We note, however, that a lower court in Illinois has found a similar Illinois statute unconstitutional, and an appeal of that decision is pending before the Illinois Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court may yet have to weigh in on this issue.

We've recently had a number of people hit Unlimited Rice Pudding! by searching for terms including jo grant dalek, jo grant darlek picture and picture of jo grant with a dalek. Unfortunately, these people are presumably arriving at the site unsatisfied by what they've encountered, as there are no pictures of Jo Grant with a Dalek to be found here. Until now. For I've decided to do these people a favour and post what is presumably the picture they're looking for, so that now on, if someone arrives here having searched for a "jo grant dalek picture", they'll get what they want. Aren't I nice? Find it after the jump.
I presume that's what everyone's been looking for, right?

So-called Chooser Won't Choose Desktop Printer
This one seems too simple for its own good...
I go into the chooser, select "HP Deskjet" (my printer), but on the right side, under "Select a HP Deskjet" nothing appears. I can't choose "Setup" to configure my printer and so far I have not been able to print. I've trashed the drivers etc and reinstalled, and I've even tried the newest drivers available from HP. Nothing has worked. Any ideas? wcaw [ 07-19-2001: Message edited by: wcaw ] |

Sweet Potato Pancakes
1 large sweet potato, peeled and shredded (about 4 cups)
½ cup grated sweet onion
1 egg, slightly beaten
¼ cup all purpose flour (add more flour if the mixture is too wet)
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ to ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil for frying
Stir together all of the ingredients (except the vegetable oil) until well-blended.
Heat oil (about ½ cup, or enough to cover the bottom of the pan) in a large skillet on high until hot, but not smoking.
Reduce the heat to medium/high and drop sweet potato mixture into the pan by ¼ cups (about 3 pancakes per pan; don't overcrowd).
Flatten each pancake slightly with a spatula and fry until browned and crisp on the bottom, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn pancakes and repeat. If the pancakes start to brown too quickly, turn down the heat to medium.
Remove from pan to a paper towel lined plate. Keep warm in a 200 degree oven, if desired. Salt to taste.
Pairs Well With
My daughter wanted me to try sweet potato hash browns. What I concocted was more of a pancake, but oh so good! Top them them with a poached egg for some Yam and Eggs.....

My website has changed a lot over the years.
It started as something frothy, girly and novice, and eventually became something honest, bedraggled and perhaps a little bit cynical. My expertise and advise as a lifestyle writer became confessions of my own life struggles… namely, my health. It's hard to pontificate on lipstick and lashes alone, when hospitals and MRI's and insurance woes are always at hand. As a patient, I've been a good little girl: taking all the pills, doing the hours of treatment, repeat. As a person, I was becoming an emotional shut-in- never wanting to open up on Makeover Momma for fear of judgement, or feeling as if I'm complaining (it's warranted), or being too vulnerable in general.
After recently inquiring as to the best route for updating concerned friends and fammily on Facebook ("to update, or not to update?": the eternal first world question), I received a lot of kind responses. The majority overwhelmingly encouraged me to write occasional updates- you know, the kind that actually gives facts so you have less reason to panic. I decided that Makeover Momma is the best place for drama-free earnesty (it's not a word, but it should be). Still, my reclusive proclivities persist, derived from a mix of A) wanting to maintain the persona of the person I started this website as some 7 years ago (the one who traveled to fashion week in $7 dresses), and B) not wanting to admit my own faults, flaws, failures in dealing with this situation.
The Update: I had a huge scare this week, that left me completely altered in my approach towards sickness. Until now, I've begrudgingly accepted whatever medical professionals tell me, without wanting to take much control of the process. Unfortunately, we think the combination of a runaway upper respiratory infection and sinusitis, coupled with newfound diabetic developments pushed my body over the edge. Even though diabetic related symptoms are super common with lung disease (not to mention my lame pancreas and a family history for Type 1), we still never saw this coming. This scare- which now I plan to control with diligent finger pricks, blood sugar monitoring, follow up testing and near constant eating (including snacks in the middle of the night)- left my reeling. I've spent the last few months being told to eat anything and everything (the more sugar, fat and calories the better), and now, my sugar is making me bottom out. Shouldn't I be filling myself with just as many calories… but trying for whole, natural foods instead? Why do we tell everyone to eat healthy, but I get the "junk food free" pass? Suddenly, I had a lot of questions for doctors… and was not afraid to ask them.
Ultimately, with no easy "fix" in sight, I am left with two options when facing illness: to accept where I am with health (low lung-function and all), or to throw every chemical we can at the problem and potentially harm myself more. Wouldn't I rather attempt to LIVE life- even if it's an imperfect one- rather than be sedated all the time? I know there is no right or wrong path, but the idea of taking control of where I am now (rather than looking for someone to "save me"/bemoaning my existence) seems valid. Therefore, I have decided to change the narrative of my life (and in turn, Makeover Mommma) to one of fighting back. Expect sick girl confessions via social media, sure, but expect healthy recipes, Yoga poses and holistic tips too. Now is the time to rewrite my story…
TMI In One Paragraph or Less:
My pseudomonas are funky, so I'm chomping the oral Cipro to keep things stable while we wait on pending cultures for other organisms. It's like a regular Jamestown in there (get it? Colonies? Punny). My nights are rough, so a bipapp is being considered (this could be amazingly positive in the long run). Mt PEG surgery is still pending, even though we've done all the pre-op and it had been scheduled previously. My lungs were "cleared for take off", so now we're just waiting on a date (we shall see). My sinus CT is soon, which may or may not lead to sinus surgery, which may or may not be another game changer (sinus infections are not helping the lungs!) I have a new vest, which has proven to be incredibly effective and is (somewhat literally) rocking my world in the positive. Also, I am trying to cut back on my steroids since it's messing with my blood sugar, and find holistic options wherever possible.
My Lifestyle Goals:
* Food: The biggest goal is keeping my blood sugar and digestive system stable by viewing my diet as a 24-7 process, instead of "9 to 5." By avoiding long periods of fasting (night time), I can space out meals, snack right before bed, and avoid negative side effects. I want to aim for protein, vegetables and healthy gluten-free grains during the day (think Eat Pray Love meals), with natural sugars at night if needed.
* Fitness: After a lifetime of being active, I hate being sidelined. Since I want to start slowly, Yoga seems like the perfect exercise for "cardio", tone, relaxation and breathing therapy. I want to look at it as a "practice" like those fabulous, buff Yoginis: approaching it for a lifetime, and perfecting every stance. Unfortunately, part of my ballerina brain continues to think, "When can we stop stretching and get to center?". It's just a fact.
* Sleep: I rarely sleep. I need to sleep. I hope to sleep more, and want to start reading an hour before bed to wind down. Here's hoping!
Alternative: Essentials oils? Check. A shot of avocado oil everyday? Sure thing. I plan to be wide open to all sorts of techniques, and I promise to report back on what actually works.
Moving Forward This Month: A lot of people post about this level of illness on fundraising pages or special Facebook boards, but for now, I prefer to shoot it to you guys straight from here. If you have any questions at all, please ask them and I'll answer in next month's health update… I'm an open book! However, for the purposes of educating the public on airway clearance techniques, lung diseases and what many CF patients endure (or those with similar ailments), I am embarking on an "April photo challenge" on Makeover Mommma Instagram. I normally hate this type of thing, but 'tis the season!

Yep, HP is looking to replace hypodermic needles with their inkjet technology in a method reminiscent of nicotine patches. HP is licensing a patch with up to 90,000 microneedles per square inch which could then inject drugs into a patient either over time or when certain conditions (i.e. blood pressure) are met. It would allow injections to be much more precise, which is good. Also, you wouldn't need to get injected with a big scary needle anymore, which would also be good.

The Champions League finalist will not sell its star attacker to its domestic rival, but could still cash in on him if its valuation of the player is met
BVB stated at the weekend that Lewandowski will not be allowed to join Bayern, but Watzke has admitted the club could still decide to cash in on the 24-year-old if another team meets its valuation of the attacker.
"We want to find a good solution for all parties involved. That's why I will not say that he will definitely stay at Dortmund. I can say that he will not move to Bayern Munich in 2013, though," Watzke told Bild.
He added, "Bayern has contacted us twice by phone in the past four weeks. We only said for legal reasons that we need a formal offer for Lewandowski, but such an offer has not been made so far. A move to Bayern is a closed book.
"We will discuss everything else with Robert and his agent in the days to come. That's a matter of respect. But our explicit wish remains that Robert plays for Dortmund next season."
Lewandowski is under contract with BVB until the summer of 2014 and has refused to ink a new deal, making him a free agent next term.
Therefore, Dortmund could be tempted to sell the forward now if an offer in the region of 30 million euros comes in, with clubs such as Real Madrid and Manchester United closely monitoring his situation.

Health Insurance Quotes
Cheap health insurance for 20-somethings
Whether you've just graduated from college or have been out of school for a couple years, you could be facing a health insurance dilemma.
You could be facing a health insurance dilemma. |
Chances are you were covered by your parents' health insurance policy while you were a full-time student. Most health plans will stop covering the children of policyholders once the children reach the ages of 22 to 25. The benefits could end sooner, when a policyholder's son or daughter is not a full-time student. You might have been covered by a health plan offered by your college, which ended when you graduated.
If you don't have a job lined up right away, or if your new employer doesn't offer health benefits, you must decide which you can least afford: buying insurance or going without it. Even though you might not want to spend the money on health insurance premiums, don't be tempted to go without at least some kind of health insurance to pay for hospital or doctor visits should you become sick or injured. All it takes is one car accident, an ankle broken shooting hoops or an allergic reaction to a bee sting to saddle you with massive doctor and hospital bills that can hang around for years.
Finding the right option
Even if you are on a tight budget or if you'd rather spend your money on fun stuff, you have a variety of options for health insurance. Individual health plans range from bare-bones hospitalization coverage to comprehensive HMOs that include prescription medications and wellness care.
Option 1: Major medical coverage
You might think an inexpensive plan that covers only severe injuries is the way to go, but a close look at such plans might change your mind.
Major medical plans, or "catastrophic health insurance" policies, as they are known, typically come with a very high deductible (ranging anywhere from $500 to $15,000) and a high maximum benefit payment, such as $2 million. They are intended only to pay for major hospital and medical expenses, not routine visits to the doctor's office or trips to the emergency room to get stitched up. A catastrophic plan would cover such things as treatment in an intensive-care unit for 10 days after an auto accident or complications from a pregnancy.
Pressing questions when you're shopping for a health plan |
Can you (or your family) afford to pay all your medical expenses if you become sick or injured and have no health insurance? How much is the premium per month, quarter and year? How much is the deductible? Is the deductible yearly or per illness or injury? How much of a deductible can you afford? Are there any discounts available? What is the co-insurance or co-pay per office visit? What is the co-insurance or co-pay for wellness care? How extensive do you want your coverage to be? Do you need prescription medications? Do you mind being confined to a provider network? Can you afford to pay for doctor's office visits on your own? Do you play sports where you could get injured? Do you have any pre-existing conditions? Do you get sick often? |
There is a niche market for such plans: People who are healthy but want to protect their assets or young people who aren't married and have no dependents. A healthy person who unexpectedly suffers a serious illness might not be able to afford a $5,000 deductible. You must decide what you're comfortable with paying if the worst happens.
Option 2: Short-term health insurance
As its name implies, short-term health insurance lasts from one month to one year. That makes it a potentially good option if you're between jobs or waiting for your employer-sponsored health plan to kick in.
Plans are generally comparable to HMOs or similar plans and typically cover various hospital charges, office visits, diagnostic tests prescription drugs. Maternity costs are not covered, however. Unlike an HMO or PPO, short-term coverage is an indemnity plan: That means you're not limited to a network of doctors.
Most recent graduates choose a $250 or $500 deductible.
You can generally pay for a short-term plan in either monthly installments or one single up-front sum; paying up-front will lower your total premium cost.
Short-term policies are a good way to secure coverage when you're temporarily lacking coverage. If you don't have another option in sight, however, you're better off looking for a longer-term individual health plan. For more on that, see Tips for buying individual health coverage.
The downside of short-term policies
There are a few things to keep in mind.
With some insurance companies, the deductible you pay is per injury or illness. That means you must meet the deductible all over again each time you are treated for a sinus infection or other illness.
Short-term policies also have certain strict eligibility requirements, although they will vary from insurer to insurer. If you have ever been denied health coverage, you might be ineligible for short-term insurance because a denial suggests you might have significant health problems. In addition, if you have a pre-existing condition (an illness or chronic condition you've had within the previous three to five years), it won't be covered under most short-term plans. The highest deductibles are generally chosen only by older folks in an effort to lower premiums. Pregnancies aren't usually covered, although complications arising from pregnancy generally are.
You probably won't be eligible for short-term insurance if you are covered by any other health plan, work in a hazardous industry (such as construction) or play in professional or collegiate sports.
What happens if you bought a three-month policy only to find the job you hoped to land — with health benefits — hasn't materialized? Don't count on automatic renewal of your short-term policy. You have to go through the application process all over again and take out a new policy. If you had any illnesses or injuries during your previous policy period, those now become pre-existing conditions and might not be eligible for coverage.
Shop around on your own or talk to an insurance agent to make sure you get a plan that's right for you. For more, see The basics of short-term health insurance.
Option 3: COBRA
COBRA allows you to continue to purchase your employer's group health plan for 18 months after you leave a job.
Known formally as the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act, COBRA was designed to protect people who change or lose jobs and are threatened with the loss of their employee benefits plan. The monthly premiums are expensive.
COBRA can also benefit young people who have relied on their parents' health plans. |
While most people only qualify for 18 months of continued coverage under COBRA, those who get kicked off their parents' policies due to age or lack of student status can get COBRA for up to 36 months. For more, see Know your COBRA rights.
If you had health insurance through your college's health plan, you will not be eligible for continuation under COBRA.
Option 4: High-deductible health plan and Medical Savings Account
Medical savings accounts (MSA) and high-deductible health plans (HDHPs) open the door to health insurance for those who might otherwise not be able to afford coverage. To qualify, you must be an employee (or the spouse of an employee) of a small employer (who had an average of 50 or fewer employers during one of the last two years) or a self-employed person (or the spouse of a self-employed person).
A high-deductible health insurance plan has lower monthly premiums than a standard individual health plan. You'll take the money you save on premiums and put it in your MSA to spend on non-covered medical expenses as needed.
Some HDHP provide preventive care benefits plus hospitalization, while others cover only catastrophic care. Preventive care includes periodic health evaluations, well-child care and immunications, and routine prenatal care.
There has been an explosion of HDHP choices in recent years. Because HDHPs are not "one size fits all," it's important to shop around for a plan that best covers your needs.
You'll need to predict your health care use for the coming year: The higher your deductible, the lower your premiums will be. If you don't anticipate using the plan much, you might opt for a very high deductible and take a gamble that you won't need to pay the maximum out of pocket.
There are eligibility requirements to open an MSA. For more, see Medical savings accounts: Another way to pay for health care.
Some other health insurance options:
- Alumni associations: Most college alumni associations offer various types of health insurance to graduates. Contact your university for information.
- Individual policy: Individual policies are generally much more expensive than group plans you'd buy through work. If you have no other choice, it is better than going without insurance. You might have to meet certain health requirements to qualify and pre-exisiting conditions will likely not be covered. Shop around to get the best deal.
- High-risk health plans: If your health disqualifies you from buying a plan on your own, you may be eligible for your state's "high-risk pool." Contact your state's department of insurance for policy and eligibility information.
- Medicaid: You must meet certain poverty-level income guidelines, or be disabled, to qualify for Medicaid. For most young people, this is not an attractive option.

Bump for a good guy!!! Great deal too!!
I don't need these wheels and tires, but if I wanted them, I'd want to know what type of tires they are and the size. It seesm like quite a few sellers leave out really useful info.
Also what is the offset? Is that off m?

A booby site dedicated to fun and boobs with video of babies is like going to a bar and seeing photos of piss and vomit.

bye old thread, hello new one
Last two posts
I've just had a full on breakdown on the midwife in charge who flounced out the cubicle, she seems quite at the hospital.
DP is getting irate and talking about legal action for the effect it's having on my mh. Also he quite rightly said, as a high risk delivery, what happens I this stress send me into labour, where are they going to put me then if everywhere is full?
They've lost my notes too (very convenient) I can safely say I will NEVER use the maternity services here again of I can help it.
Tits I really feel for you. I'm clueless too on the private front, but from the little I do know, it's often the same doctors etc. There should be someone in the hospital you can ask. Is there anyway you can go to another trust? (sorry probably a stupid question). Sending lots of hugs your way though xxxxx
Thanks ladies - I think its the one I love best too! He's a thoughtless twunt sometimes, and normally it would take a lot more than 'buying me' to get back into my good books, but he knows how much having a nice bag means to me so I guess I can forgive him a little.
All my energy has been sapped up by hoovering
tits I'm so annoyed on your behalf! I wish I was a bit more clued up on private health in the uk. Sorry.
Feel free rant, it's what we're here for.
I'm not worried about insurance and claiming, I'll get DP to call Bupa and see of they have any advice at all, PALS aren't open today. I appreciate there are ladies needing urgent delivery but to jus send me home because they've exhausted their capacity isn't a solution. How the hell do I cope at home in a wheelchair in a bloody 2 up 2 down with 2 children?!
Sorry that isn't a question as such but an angry vent, I've offered to go to a different hospital I don't give a toss where this baby is born now I just want some relief. I haven't even got pain relief but they're only
In trust with one other hospital and they're also not taking any non priorities.
tits I dont know anything about private care in the uk I'm affraid. Can you get your dh to ring someone like bupa and enquire? Over here you have to have had private health insurance for a certain amount of time before you can claim for anything pregnancy related.
They're so full apparently they're filtering people off to different hospitals, I think I'm going to try calling around to discuss private care, there must be someone somewhere that can help me. Im in floods here just getting into a wheelchair to use the toilet. Does anyone know how private health care works? Can I just call up and request to be seen ASAP or do I need to do it through a regular hospital, looks like any savings we have will have to go.
tits no way, is there anyway you can refuse to leave?
too busy to do anything so I'm being sent home until next Friday where they will asses again :'(
mmI'm glad your dh realises he has been a twat, thats all that matters at the end of the day none of us are perfect.
Pasties were lusho!
Lush bag mm
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Hooray MM! It's lovely. My goodness me you need a treat.
Yay yay yay! I'm getting my changing bag! Because (and I quote) DH has "been a selfish twat over the past few weeks and realised this morning that I'm actually quite an easy pregnant woman to live with" - apparently his workmate's pregnant missus just phoned and ranted/screamed/cried at him for 'no reason' ! (as you ladies know, there is ALWAYS a reason, even if we don't know it ourselveso we know it doesn't make sense!!)
Anyway, decided on [[ http://www.greenchild.co.uk/baby-changing-bags/satchel-peace-blossom-changing-bag-2113527-395165-702429.php this one]] as it's the least obvious 'changing bag' that is a changing bag, so I can use it afterwards as a book bag or whatever too
You seem chirpy this morning tits. Finally being listened to just have made a massive difference .
Morning. Yum yum to pasties! How delicious!
Never had hospital toast.
Still no word from VQ. Baby cuddles must be super awesome
Hooray for Saturday. We are going to walk into town to pick up my cardi from next then go to the pub so DH can have some beers. Might be the last for a while.
Yep MM we are all floppy so lifting heavy stuff is not good for us. Get the neighbour to do it and tell your DH that neighbour did it! Shame him! Glad you feel better BTW
Congratulations blonder and good luck horsey! I'll nip over to the other thread to congratulate Tia!
Glad good nights' sleeps were had by some - I was expecting a terrible one as DD got a cold yesterday but despite a few noises in the night she didn't need re-settling and actually slept til 7, which was ace! Must remember the clocks go back tonight ...
Hurrah it's the weekend and DH is here to help. I'm sure I'll get increasingly happy about this as the weeks pass. He says he'll take DD out to the supermarket. I think I'll do some Natal Hypnotherapy.
Very jealous about your pasties, pasties!
titsi love hospital toast!
I am lying in bed and I have an achey pain where my legs meet me body and I don't want to get up, only into a hot bath, but the boys are out so there is no one to run it.
I must get up though I have pre delivery waxing this morning.
Congrats blonder!
mm1 in case the baby falls out! no, sorry joking. probably in case you put your back out, we're full of relaxin or something thats makes all your ligament slacken off. oh dear not very medically correct i shouldnt think.
tits you want to say to them 'news flash, yes the baby will be here soon!!'. men!!
pasties I've even put a big sign on the tv - move upstairs!! Totally ignored. I'm tempted to ask the man next door to do it then tell dh I did it myself. He would freak out at the thought of me lifting something heavy!
Why can't you lift heavy things when you're pregnant btw?
I'll take anything pastry like and freshly baked please
DP was funny yesterday, the midwife came in and was talking about induction and DP was just gobsmacked and did the whole "omg this one next week I could have a child..." face apparently 9 months was not enough for him to think about it
Very hungry here, where is the bringer of toast?!
mm1 for quite some time dh was forgetful or not listening, i got a white board and wrote things on there!! haha, he still ignored it though!!

Photo Quiz
24 comments:
- Replies
I'm so glad that you were able to visit me there, including my surprise 40th B-day party, which was most certainly a frickin' mind-blowing surprise.
That particular closing day (11/13/10), was by far the most difficult, emotionally challenging day of my entire life, and I hope I never have to endure anything half as brutal. It took me ten days to even post about it.
O Docker may well be right because he is wicked smart at these quizzes. But I will hazard another guess.
Looking more closely, the adults do seem to be a lot older than the kids, possibly more like their grandparents than the parents. And the wife doesn't look all that comfortable in the boat - worried expression, hand on the gunwale for balance even in very light wind.
So I'm guessing that this couple is not an experienced sailboat racing team and that they are out for a sail with their grandsons.
Could this be Joseph and Catherine Jomo?Having too much time on your hands to google isn't the same thing as being smart.
I thought maybe the woman was worried about the young child she's holding. This doesn't look like a race day - they were probably just taking the kids for a sail - in a very small boat. The photo does look like it's from the late fifties or sixties, a time when RC, Jr. seems to have been racing and winning a lot.
I found a mention that Runyon's wife Betsy did crew for him in races and a photo of the two of them sailing a Penguin, but it was from too far away to make out the faces. What was odd (to me, at least) was that he was standing at the helm - just like the guy in your photo. Was that a common thing in Penguins?Off Topic: I like the new masthead photo. Noting the date, and recognizing the big kid on the left (I think)!

This gathering made one thing clear, if it had not been already. The battle between left and right is no longer a contest of ideas, no longer about low taxes versus higher ones, small government versus big government, intervention versus isolation. No, the defining clash of our time is reason versus unreason, reason versus an inchoate fear and fury growing like weeds on the cultural, class, religious and racial resentments of people who cling to an idealized 1954 and wonder why the country is passing them by.
The Republicans, as presently constituted, have no ideas beyond fear and fury.

Tennessee native Marlin welcomed with open arms at Bristol
August 23, 2011, Rick Houston, Special to NASCAR.COM, NASCAR.com
Talk about a love-hate relationship. Sterling Marlin was born and raised in Columbia, Tenn., which is for most folks a five-hour drive or so from Bristol. The way Marlin drives, it's probably closer to four and it's a pretty good bet that he's made it even quicker than that a time or two. Being a home-state boy helped, but there was a lot more to Marlin's popularity in and around Bristol than just that. For seven years in the mid- to late-1990s, Marlin drove for the Morgan-McClure Motorsports organization that was based in nearby Abingdon, Va. That was one thing, but Marlin also ran a paint scheme to celebrate his beloved school's 1998 NCAA football national championship in both of the track's Busch Series events the following season. When that happened, they might just as well have deeded the place over to him, lock, stock and barrel. Marlin Motor Speedway ... has a nice ring to it, don't you think? "It's a track everybody can see around," Marlin said. "It's kind of reminds me of Neyland Stadium [University of Tennessee's hallowed home football turf]. It's built real high, with fans just right up on top looking down on everything. The action's always been pretty good, with good races and tight quarters. It's what the fans like to see." And as much as fans like to see Bristol in general, it's the facility's event under the lights each August that has always truly captured their attention. Why is that? "I think all your night races are better," Marlin figured. "There's anticipation all day long that builds up and builds up, kind of like a college football game. Tennessee-Alabama, Tennessee-Florida or whoever is playing at 7 o'clock at night, it gets people fired up. Race Saturday night, spend the night at the track and drive back home Sunday. I think all your race fans just enjoy Saturday-night racing." Struggles at home Success on the track at Bristol was nevertheless a sometimes fleeting thing for Marlin, although he did manage to score a win and three other top-five finishes in seven Busch Series starts there. On the Cup side, he tallied just 18 top-10 finishes and three top-fives in 47 starts between 1983 and 2009. "We had some good runs and some bad runs," Marlin admitted. Incredibly, the best Bristol Cup finish of his career came in the 1991 night race, a mere four months or so after he was severely burned in a crash between Turns 1 and 2. The incident took place on Lap 422 of the race held at Bristol on April 14, 1991. Marlin's car had been damaged in a wreck earlier that overcast afternoon, and when he spun later on, it exploded in a ball of flames. After rolling to a stop on the apron, Marlin was able to crawl out and collapse to the ground under his own power. "I think all your night races are better. There's anticipation all day long that builds up and builds up, kind of like a college football game." --STERLING MARLIN Marlin sustained second- and third-degree burns, and wound up turning his Junior Johnson-owned Ford over to Charlie Glotzbach early at North Wilkesboro and Martinsville. He made a full-time return to the car just three races later at Talladega, where he finished fourth. "I think we came into that race running third in the points," Marlin remembered. "We blew a left-rear tire on the restart getting into Turn 1. At the time, oil tanks were sitting on the left rear and we'd just topped it off with gas. We'd been in one wreck earlier in the day, and it tore the back end about off the car. It more or less just had a trunk lid on it. "It busted the oil tank. There was a fresh tank of gas. There was enough gas to ignite the oil. It went all through the inside of the car and messed us up there for about a month. I came straight out of the hospital and went to Wilkesboro. I didn't want to get out at Martinsville, but the doctor wanted me to heal up some more. It hurt us in the points a little bit that year, but we still came back to finish seventh [in the standings]." Busch Series bonanza When the Tennessee Volunteers captured the national championship in 1998, Big Orange Country went wild. Marlin loves his Vols just as much as the next guy, and when the spring race at Bristol rolled around the next year, he slapped some orange paint and decals on his Chevy and went racing. He finished eighth that day, and the car design was such a success, it made a return appearance in the night race that August. That time out, Marlin wound up fourth. He also ran the UT colors at Nashville and Memphis that season. "We went to Bristol, qualified fourth and run in the top five all day," Marlin said. "It was a crowd pleaser. I think the crowd really enjoyed seeing the car orange and white, and I was a Tennessean driving it. I've always been a UT fan, so it worked out really good." Just how big a UT fanatic is Marlin? "Well ... I'm pretty big," Marlin said with a laugh. "I really watch football. Pat Summitt does a great job with women's basketball. We had [head coach Bruce] Pearl there, and it really brought men's basketball back to life. I'm still a big-time fan." Marlin's lone victory at Bristol came in the spring of 2000, when he stepped into a Busch Series entry fielded by his Cup team owner at the time, Felix Sabates. Rookie Dave Steele was entered in the car, but when he popped the wall during the first practice session, Sabates called on Marlin as a last-minute substitute. A few laps in practice, and Marlin had the crew cover the car. He was good to go. "The team had another boy driving the car, and he'd done hit the wall twice," Marlin said. "They came got me to drive it. I think we qualified 14th or something [actually it was 16th], took the lead pretty early and pretty much dominated all day. The car would fly. "We really didn't even plan on driving the car, and the boy hit the wall twice. They beat the dents out, didn't hurt it bad. We straightened everything up, changed a spring or two and away we went."
