Health Care Reform: Removing Language Barriers
On June 6th, President Obama's political organization, Organizing for America, will kick off the new health care reform campaign. Among the various topics of discussion is the issue of improving health care for minority populations. In a recent letter to President Obama, 24 health and advocacy organizations called out the need to "provide coverage for language services for patients who have limited English proficiency, are functionally illiterate, or are deaf or hard of hearing to reduce patient care errors, improve communication with patients, and thereby reduce disparities." The push for greater access to language services is aligned with President Obama's efforts to provide "quality, affordable care to all Americans." Click here to read this letter to President Obama

Forecasting Crop Irrigation Water Requirements
Project ID: 1472
Principal Investigator: Subhrendu Gangopadhyay
Research Topic: Water Operation Models and Decision Support Systems
Funded Fiscal Years: 2014
Keywords: crop, irrigation, forecasting
Research Question
The research objective is to develop a modeling framework to forecast crop irrigation water requirements (CIR) from daily to seasonal time scales.
Need and Benefit
Need - use of state-of-the-science modeling of crop irrigation water requirements at daily to seasonal time scales.
The following benefits are anticipated from this project.
(1) Irrigation water demands constitute 80 percent or more of the overall water demand in a water resources system. Using state-of-the-science methods to forecast crop irrigation water requirements could add to the overall water use efficiency.
(2) As part of the framework, effort will be made to see how the research can be moved to operations, and be incorporated at least in a few cases as an experimental forecast to operations product using Reclamations's exisitng operations and planning models.
(3) A generic modeling framework that would be scalable across all of Reclamation Regions and Projects.
Contributing Partners
Research Products
Scoping document to support subsequent funding request in fiscal years 2015-2017.

SAN DIEGO (AP) The score would suggest nothing has changed since Tiger Woods last played the PGA Tour four months ago.
On the South Course at Torrey Pines, which stretches 7,569 yards and played every bit of that length in the chilly, coastal air along the Pacific Ocean, the world's No. 1 player picked off enough birdies to put his name near the top of the leaderboard and finished with a 5-under 67 on the tougher of the two courses at the Buick Invitational.
Noting that the U.S. Open will be held at Torrey Pines in June, one caddie watched Woods complete his round and remarked, "He might have just won two tournaments with one round.''
Woods was far from pleased, however.
And he wasn't even in the lead. That belonged to Troy Matteson, who was two shots better than Woods on the South Course with a 65, making him the first player since 2000 to be atop the leaderboard after one round while playing the South.
"I won't top that for a while,'' Matteson said.
Separating them was Brad Adamonis, who shot a 66 on the North, which is where low scores usually are shot. The North is 600 yards shorter with minimal rough, and it played 2 1/2 strokes easier Thursday in the first round.
The attention thrust on Woods is that he has won the Buick Invitational five times, including the last three years. And he piled on the pressure of having a historic year by saying the Grand Slam is "easily within reason.''
What surprised Woods is how he arrived at this 67.
His opening tee shot of his 2008 season sailed into a bunker. Another shot left him stymied behind a tree. Yet another was so far left that it cleared the cart path, and Woods had to hook his second shot so severely on the par-5 sixth that he started it out toward the right rough and ended up in the left rough.
All those led to par.
The times he managed to find the fairway, such as No. 4, led to birdie. Two more came on par 3s, and he only played the four par 5s in a 1 under par. But there he was, two shots out of the lead, already getting everyone's attention.
"It wasn't pretty off the tee, but I hung in there,'' Woods said. "Shooting 67 is always going to feel pretty good on the South Course.''
Imagine how it felt for Matteson.
He ran off five birdies in a six-hole stretch on the back nine, then finished his round with consecutive birdies to become the first player since Davis Love III in 2000 to have the first-round lead while playing the South. Before that, it was in 1991 when someone starting on the South was in the lead after the first round.
"It's typically a golf course where most guys are just thinking, 'If I can shoot even, 1-under, 2-under and then go to the North Course and really make up my numbers there,' that's kind of your tournament. Guys can shoot 8-, 9-, 10-under on the North Course and then shoot 6-under for the week. So we're looking forward to going to that North Course after playing this one.''
Rory Sabbatini, Stuart Appleby and Kevin Streelman, who began the day as the third alternate, were in the group at 67 with Woods. They all played on the North, which is where Matteson and Woods play on Friday.
Phil Mickelson opened his season with a 70 on the North.
Matteson was 11 shots better than his last trip around the South Course. That was the final round a year ago, when he played alongside Woods and watched the world's No. 1 player turn an ordinary round into a winner.
Maybe someone of that rubbed off on Matteson.
"That's an experience that any player would remember,'' Matteson said. "Anytime you get paired with Tiger, it's very interesting from a crowd standpoint, from a what-he-does standpoint. It's just pretty neat to see the guy shoot 66 on Sunday to win.''
Woods wasn't the only person returning to work.
Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman was back in the booth after a two-week suspension for jokingly suggesting young players wanting to take on Woods should "lynch him in a back alley.'' She recorded an apology that opened the telecast.


text: Jason Collins Will Be Michelle Obama's SOTU Guest Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart Sports 27 Jan 2014 post a comment Jason Collins, the former NBA player who came out of the closet last year and became the first openly gay professional athlete in a major American sport to do so and be recognized by the media, will be First Lady Michelle Obama's guest and sit with her during Tuesday's State of the Union address. Democrats and the Obamas have tried to use Collins for political gain. Soon after Collins game out, Collins appeared with Michelle Obama at an LGBT fundraiser for the DNC in New York in which Michelle Obama urged attendees to be "balllers" and "max out." Obama called Collins after he came out and Michelle Obama tweeted at him. Obama also used a presidential press conference in the White House briefing room to say he was "proud" of Collins. Collins, a journeyman ballplayer, was not signed by an NBA team in the offseason even though some believed his coming out would help him land a job with an NBA team despite his less-than-stellar statistics.


text: Team Obama 'investigates' itself again by John Hayward 28 May 2014 post a comment View Discussion Share This: In response to White House Investigating Outing of CIA Station Chief: Wow, the Obama Administration is investigating itself again! I can hardly wait to learn the outcome from this hard-hitting piece of detective work, doubtless to be released sometime after the 2016 election, or more likely uncovered by a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. Maybe we'll get documents like the ones National Review just obtained from the Interior Department, pursuant to a FOIA request for correspondence related to the outrageous closure of national parks during Shutdown Theater. The Most Transparent Administration In History responded with emails that had been redacted into solid black boxes. I'm not exaggerating - literally every word of the emails has been redacted. It's "Dear So-and-so," followed by what looks like the monolith from "2001" turned on its side, followed by "Sincerely" and a signature. As if the Administration's scheme to punish Americans for daring to defund ObamaCare was some sort of national security secret! This is almost as exciting as that time Attorney General Eric Holder investigated Attorney General Eric Holder over Operation Fast and Furious. It'll be as much of a nail-biter as VA Secretary Eric Shinseki's investigation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki. This Afghanistan CIA thing is a huge deal, a bona fide compromise of national security by the inept teenagers who run the Obama White House, so I'm sure the investigation will cause heads to roll across Washington, just like when the IRS investigated the IRS for abusing IRS power to persecute Obama's political enemies.

U.S. plans to arm Iraq's Sunni tribesmen with AK-47s, RPGs, mortars
The United States plans to buy arms for Sunni tribesmen in Iraq including AK-47s, rocket-propelled grenades and mortar rounds to help bolster the battle against Islamic State militants in Anbar province, according to a Pentagon document prepared for Congress. The plan to spend $24.1 million represents a small fraction of the larger, $1.6 billion spending request to Congress focusing on training and arming Iraqi and Kurdish forces, Reuters reported. But the document underscored ...

I know every other blogger on earth is talking about this, but I found Janet Jackson's Super Bowl boob to be among the more refreshingly cynical things to happen in mass American culture in a long time. The weird backpedaling of the Powers That Be notwithstanding, you have to see this as a the ultimate – and I would say successful – use of Spectacle.
Think about it: nobody is hurt by this. CBS gets boffo ratings and makes it the water-cooler talk of the week. MTV gets itself involved with scandal, which is their life's blood. Justin Timberlake gets to officially graduate from "ex-boy band member" to "someone who has the nads to fondle rock royalty." And Janet Jackson, who is about to release an album in the long, dark afternoon of her career, gets more free press than the President of the United States.
I mean, come ON, people: the last line of Justin's lyric was "I'm gonna get you nekkid before I finish this song." Janet's acting in the split second after the reveal was so good that it's a shame she sucked so bad in "Poetic Justice." I think the whole thing is wonderful, as it is the ultimate subversion of our draconian nudity laws and a giant middle finger to conservative thinking – all in the name of big business! It's the endgame of strange bedfellows, which is this country at its best.
Thank god for TiVo, so we could rewind it forty times. And if that wasn't cool, how about our beloved Shelagh Ratner in the Toyota ad? Getting a commercial during the Super Bowl is the Holy Chalice of actors doing these gigs, and it couldn't have happened to a cooler chick. Go Shelagh!

"What planet are you from? Are there more of you?"
Ian, I like your "Real job" vs. freelance report.. an A+ review of both sides. I do not like the janet-boob happening as being regarded as "wonderful". Did I read that right? You stuck your middle finger up at me because my conservative-democrat-arse views it as something I don't want my kids to ever see. I don't want my son to ever treat a woman like that, whether or not it appears she is asking for it. Isn't it a little sickening that promoting that skit is saying our country's talent lies mostly in exploiting sexuality? I wish we could be more creative than that.
Yeah, I hear you on the kiddie thing. When and where a parent decides to let their young'uns see their first non-maternal breast is entirely their call. But I mean, come on, it was less than two seconds of actual flesh.
I thought the whole episode was a sneaky and effective use of fame, spectacle and the subversion of American puritanism. Seriously, everybody (except concerned parents) wins, even the FCC, who get to make a ruckus and seem relevant. And I know you're not like this, Steph, but a lot of parents LOVE to get to complain about culture.
parents who see their kids becoming products of their society may seem to LOVE complaining about it but it's actually a cry for help. Read "Reviving Opehlia" to get some worst case scenarios. I am not worried about the 2 seconds of boob. It's the whole song and dance around it, the friggin' theme. Spend some time with some Britney-wannabes and you'll be censoring your MTV channel in a heartbeat -- or at least grumbling about it under your breath.
I'd rather see a super-bowl halftime show based on someother medium. How 'bout soccer penalty kicks? Some gymnastic routines? I'm so booooring.
How flattering to be mentioned in your blog. Interesting bit of trivia about the Toyota spot: in the director's cut the Latin hunk actually rips half of my sweater off. Didn't get by the censors,we can't all be as lucky as Janet.
I'm still learning from you, as I'm making my way to the top as well. I certainly enjoy reading all that is written on your site.Keep the information coming. I loved it! zespół na wesele
I wanted to put you that tiny word in order to give many thanks once again over the wonderful thoughts you have contributed here. It has been so strangely generous with you giving without restraint exactly what a lot of people might have supplied as an electronic book to earn some bucks on their own, mostly considering the fact that you might well have tried it if you ever decided. The concepts in addition acted to become a easy way to be certain that other people have the identical zeal similar to mine to learn a great deal more related to this matter. I am sure there are some more enjoyable sessions up front for those who looked over your site.
Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Best statements read first time.
Your post really helps me to work easily. Thanks for providing such important information.
Keep up the excellent work!

Do friends frequently turn to you for advice? Do you enjoy offering suggestions or solutions to problems? Do you ever post your opinions online?
If your answer to any of these questions is "yes," why not consider a career that lets you earn a living giving advice?
Here are seven careers that give you the opportunity to get paid to do what you love. Each career description starts with an inspirational quotation from some of the best advice-givers in the world -- moms.
I just want whats best
for you. - Mom
As a business consultant
you can get paid to give advice to business owners and executives. Business
consultants meet with clients in companies and other organizations to identify
business problems, then gather information and recommend solutions.
Some business consultants
focus on a particular industry such as health care, while others specialize
in areas such as marketing, human resources, technology, or small business.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reports that 28% of consultants do not have a degree, but you do need business-savvy
and experience in the area you are consulting in.
For advice on how to get
started in a career in business consulting check out the FabJob
Guide to Become a Business Consultant.
"If you don't have anything
nice to say,
don't say anything at
all." - Mom
If you would like to share
your love of good manners with others, consider a career as an etiquette
Etiquette consultants give
advice in one or more areas such as business etiquette, childrens etiquette,
dining etiquette, international protocol, social etiquette, or wedding
As an etiquette consultant
you can offer individual consultations or group training programs on topics
such as telephone skills for customer service staff. You can actually get paid to
say mind your manners and dont talk with your mouth full.
For advice on how to get
started in a career in etiquette consulting check out the FabJob
Guide to Become an Etiquette Consultant.
"Money does not grow on
trees." - Mom
As a financial planner you
will help people manage and maximize their money. According to the Occupational
Outlook Handbook, financial planners use their knowledge of investments,
tax laws, and insurance to recommend financial options to individuals.
After meeting with clients,
financial planners select appropriate investments compatible with the clients
goals, attitude toward risk, and expectation or need for a return on the
While most planners offer
advice on a range of financial topics, some specialize in areas such as
retirement and estate planning.
"Always wear clean underwear
in case you get into
an accident." - Mom
Image is the way other people
see us. As an image consultant, you can give people advice that will help
them achieve what they want -- whether it is to get a new job, to make
a good impression, or simply to feel good about themselves.
You might get paid to give
people feedback about their overall image (also known as makeover consulting)
or you might advise them on how to improve specific aspects of their image
such as wardrobe, makeup, or vocal and non-verbal communications.
For advice on how to get
started in a career in image consulting check out the FabJob
Guide to Become an Image Consultant.
"Eat your vegetables,
so youll grow up big and strong." - Mom
Life coaches help people
to achieve success in their careers, relationships and life. As a life
coach you will help people identify what is holding them back from having
everything they want in business or life, and coach them to overcome those
People use life coaches for
the same reason that they use sports coaches: they want someone to work
with them, to encourage them, to push them.
As a life coach, your job
is to listen, to ask questions, and to give honest feedback. (It sounds
a lot like the job done by many moms!)
For advice on how to get
started in a career in life coaching check out the FabJob
Guide to Become a Life Coach.
"What if everyone jumped
off a cliff?
Would you do it, too?" - Mom
As a motivational speaker
you could inspire students to stay in school, say no to drugs, become leaders,
and prepare for life after graduation. (In other words, you'd reinforce
the great advice their moms have given!)
You can also give advice
to adults and inspire them to follow their dreams and achieve their goals.
You could help people to
succeed in business, improve their relationships, develop a positive attitude,
become healthy, achieve financial prosperity, and have more fun in life.
For advice on how to get
started in a career in motivational speaking check out the FabJob
Guide to Become a Motivational Speaker.
"Why? Because I say so." - Mom
It's not only advice columnists
who influence people with their writing. Many types of writing careers
allow you to earn a paycheck in return for telling people what you think
they should do.
For example, advertising
copywriters try to influence people to buy their clients' products, while
critics tell people what they should (and should not) spend their entertainment
dollars on.
Technical writers write the
manuals that advise people, step-by-step, how to use anything from computer
software to cars to kitchen appliances.
Even fiction writers can
give advice, weaving moral lessons into their stories, and showing readers
it is much wiser to act like the hero than the villain.
For advice on how to get
started in a career in professional writing check out the FabJob
Guide to Become a Freelance Writer or see guides
to a dozen different careers in writing and publishing.
So if you have a talent for
giving advice, consider a career where you'll get paid to tell people what
to do. Mom would be proud.

We all have experienced conflict and criticism with someone in our lives. Those "someones" could be members of our families, co-workers, friends, spouses, fellow church members - even strangers. If you are feeling pious, you are only kidding yourself. In reality, we've all run into these problems at one time or another. Many of us deal with these stressors constantly, even on a daily basis. It's easy to feel like you're always in the middle - or a target of - this type of troubled relationship issue. No one enjoys conflicts. Most people try to avoid them at all costs ...
As a consulting engineer for the past 39 years and as a land owner adjacent to the landfill proposed by Mr. Burke Wall, I feel a civic and professional duty to inform this community about the proposed facility under discussion:
Dear Editor: On March 5, more than 100 people of all ages (and a number of beloved pups) came to J.F. Gregory Park in Richmond Hill to participate in the 6th annual See Spot Run 5K Run/Walk.
Dear Editor: I am writing in response to the letter regarding recycling in the March 30 edition. My name is very similar to the writer, Karen Yawn, our last names differing by one letter.
Trash is messy. It's smelly and unsightly, and you always have to find a place to put it – be it the 13-gallon trash can hiding somewhere in the kitchen or the 200-acre landfill outside of town.
Editor, I was one of the 100 or so folks who attended Congressman Jack Kingston's town-hall meeting last month in Pembroke. Several aspects of the current budget issue became clear as a result of that meeting.
Dear Gov. Nathan Deal:
Dear Editor: How can recycling be done without the people's knowledge? Everyone my husband and I have talked to, including some Pembroke residents, do not know about it. Some people don't get the paper, and they will find out when the containers are dropped off or on their tax bill.
Dear Editor: How excited I was to hear that recycling is coming to Bryan County in the March 12 edition of the Bryan County News. Excited until I read the article and realized I would be forced to pay for recycling whether I wanted to participate or not. How lovely. Once again, our local government has no compunction about applying extra taxes willy-nilly.
Day 31 (March 21): After a very short weekend, we were back at it bright and early as I met with the chairman of Senate Appropriations, Sen. Jack Hill, and members of the senate budget office regarding drug courts in our state.
The Georgia General Assembly finished its 33rd legislative day March 23. Officially, we are more than three-fourths of the way through the session. With only seven days remaining, many bills still await consideration by the House. Now is the time the House considers bills sponsored and passed by the other chamber. The end of the 2011 session is close, with the session set to end April 14.
The Georgia Senate has tabled a new school voucher bill for now. In short, there will be no expansion of the program this year.
Earlier in the week, the moon was supposed to be closer to earth than it has been in many years – just how much closer, I didn't research. And, of course, it was supposed to look much bigger than usual.
It's funny how closely related the words "community" and "common" really are in their meaning and spirit. The Richmond Hill "community" perceives itself as a group that not only shares a common geographic area, but also a set of "common interests."
Secretary of Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki probably had the Vietnam generation in mind last Wednesday when he spoke of the nation's broken covenant with those who have served us in the armed forces.
Editor's note: U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, R-Georgia, and other area elected officials will contribute periodic columns during the upcoming legislative sessions. This is a report about orientation that he went through last week.
I was on St. Simons Island last week, scarfing down massive amounts of corn-fried shrimp at the exquisite little Georgia Sea Grill, when someone came to the table to inquire if Junior E. Lee had finished his analysis of the recent election. That really puffed up Junior when I told him.
One afternoon, I had a hankering, a primal-like craving, for a supper of pinto beans and cornbread with a tall glass of cold, rich buttermilk thrown in for good measure and extra filling.
Typically, I use this weekly column to address parenting issues, reflect on challenges faced by (fairly) new moms and provide what I hope are amusing anecdotes that stem from daily life encounters with a toddler. This Sunday, though, I'm going to explore a topic that's more indirectly related to - but still very much a part of - child-rearing.
Residents of Bryan County have the opportunity Monday to show our support for a continued strong presence of the Marne Division in Bryan and surrounding counties.
This is a story I shared with some of you a couple of years ago, but given the well-deserved tributes this week to our veterans, it seems an appropriate time to share it with all of you. It is about a terrorist; an honest-to-God terrorist. Not only does he not deny the appellation, he's proud of it.
At the Department of Veterans Affairs, we have one of the most noble and inspiring missions in government. I accepted this job and joined this mission to better serve you - our veterans - and improve the delivery of the care and benefits you have earned. It is our privilege to serve you, and I have made clear that as we move forward as a department, we will judge the success of all our efforts against a single metric - the outcomes we provide for veterans.
Over the years, I've crossed paths with many who were extremely successful as well as some who were such miserable failures that, as Mama liked to say, they "ain't worth the breath they draw."
I recently saw a meme posted to a social-media site that said something along the lines of "Having children: Your way of showing the world you no longer intend to be on time - ever."
Editor, "Greater Good" is a point or ideology that has been defined, perceived and twisted. So what does this mean? I wonder if it's even fair to apply this concept because, at the end of the day, the definition is construed. Man is still making that determination.
I called Junior E. Lee and asked when he would have some post-election analysis to share with you. Junior, as you know, is general manager of the Yarbrough Worldwide Media and Pest Control Company, in Greater Garfield, Georgia, home of Round-or-Square Polls, whose motto is "You supply the dough and we will cook the results."
In 1976 in the rainforest, a virus was transmitted to people from wild animals, and it spread through the population via human-to-human contact.
This month, more than 500 local volunteers have made a positive difference for our local waterways by participating in the Statewide Rivers Alive waterway cleanups in Georgia. Over 50 locations in Liberty County have been cleaned up so far by these amazing helpers, who ranged in ages from 2 (yes, they had a little help from their parents) to 80. Several more groups have cleanups scheduled in the next three weeks. Rivers Alive is a statewide effort to preserve and protect our waterways in Georgia. Rivers Alive events also are part of the international efforts of The Ocean Conservancy.
That apple tree. Oh my goodness. Something told me it wouldn't turn out well.
I dislike talking on the phone. For a number of reasons, I've never really been fond of telephone calls or conversations.

"Get to stories for the price on one!!!!!!"
I enjoyed the two stories a lot. Can't wait until the next ones come out, but the narration was horrible.
"I've waited so long for this book."
So here's the deal, we meet Kenny, Bailey and Bailey's daughter like four books ago. We watch Kenny and Bailey tip-toe around each other for at least three books. So, I don't understand why Kenny and Bailey didn't get a full book. I feel cheated. There was so much more to their story that could have been.
This book was decent up until about half way through. Then it went bad. If you are looking for a romance DON'T get this book. If you are looking for a story that will leave you dissatisfied then this is the book for you.
"I so wanted to like this book"
This book had every thing it needed to be a GREAT book. You had a funny woman trying to get her life back after loosing her husband and over coming her toxic relashonship with food. You also had a hot guy that saw her for more than her dress size and was there for her, helping her to move on. At least that was what I hoped for when I downloaded the book. What I got instead was A hero I didn't really like, hours of narration that bored my socks off, head hopping like no ones business and fat shaming. The conflict of the story was she was to fat for him and how could he be with someone that wasn't on the cover of Vogue. Give me a brake.
"Funny, but hard to follow!"
I love Molly Harper! This book had all the classic Molly Harper wit and lightness I have come to enjoy in her books. BUT I fond the writing hard to follow and discounted and there for I couldn't get into the story. I am so sorry to have to write this review. Not her best work.
"Great whodoneit"
This book keeps you guessing until the last page. Alyssa Maxwell's way with words shine and makes up for the not so great narration. I can honestly say this was the BEST story I have "read" in a long time. I will surely keep an eye out for this authors work.
"Started out good and fell flat"
I don't know what all the fuss was about. This is NOT a sexy romance even though it starts off that way. I was sick of the banter going back and forth by chapter 3. By the time the hero and heroine got around to IT the IT fell flat and for me that crushed what little good the book did have. This book was WAY TO LONG.
"Cute, cozy and mysterious"
This light hearted who done it, will have you wondering to the very end. I really enjoyed it.
"Best one yet!"
If I could have given this book 10 stars I would. I love the series and wondered how Darynda Jones was going to keep it going. Now I know and can't wait until the next book.
"Love this series!"
This is a great new series, and a good first book. If you like Stephanie Plum you'll love Charley Davidson.
"Funny! Funny! Funny!"
A new spin on vampires. This book will have you laughing out loud and clamoring for more of Jane Jameson and her dysfunctional friends.

How to apply for a Canada Working Holiday Visa
For those considering working in Canada during their travels, the most important thing you'll need is a Work Permit, otherwise known as a Working Holiday Visa. The process itself can be done by yourself, and you may be able to save some money in the process. However, if you want to kick back and just wait for the application to go through, there are several companies which can do that for you as well.
If you're considering putting through the application yourself, visit the Foreign Affairs & International Trade website. They have several guides, and online applications that you'll need to fill out in order to be considered for a working holiday visa. Make sure you have Adobe Reader, as these documents tend to be in .PDF format. There are certain restrictions & some requirements that you must meet in order to be accepted for a working visa.
- satisfy an officer that you will leave Canada at the end of your employment;
- show that you have enough money to maintain yourself and your family members in Canada;
- be law abiding and have no record of criminal activity (you may be asked to provide a police clearance certificate);
- not be a risk to the security of Canada;
- be in good health (complete a medical examination, if required);
- produce any additional documents requested by the officer to establish your admissibility.
The application process can take quite a while, and will require a lot of reading. An application can be rejected for the smallest of reasons, so go through the application at a slow pace and double check everything. Anyone who thought the application could be done in one sitting, I apologize, but that's very unlikely.Global Backpackers have a Guide for applying for Canadian Working Holiday Visas, I highly recommend you read through it.
If you're looking to simplify this process as much as humanly possible, I suggest you look into some third party companies who handle this sort of thing on a day to day basis. I personally recommend SWAP.ca – I went through SWAP to obtain my Australian & New Zealand Working Holiday Visa. Their prices are very reasonable and it's probably the easiest way to get a working visa. This program is aimed at students, however young adults can also use their services. They simply ask that you're between the ages of 18 – 35. You'll first need to register with their website, but once registered they'll be able to answer all of your questions and get the application put through for you. They don't guarantee you'll be accepted, but they do this for a living, so you have a way better shot at getting accepted through them.
SWAP Working Holidays is a non-profit program that was put in place by the Canadian Federation of Students. It offers young Canadians the chance to travel the world and work along the way. They've been doing this for 30 years, helping thousands plan their working holidays. They can also help those from outside of Canada obtain a Canadian work visa and provide you with all the information needed in order to find a job in Canada.
Remember, these application forms can be a headache, but once completed, and should you be accepted, you'll be able to work in Canada without much of a problem. Hundreds of thousands of foreign travelers come to Canada each year to find a job, so long as you're patient, you could be one of them.
7 Responses to "How to apply for a Canada Working Holiday Visa"
I think you mean Working Holidays Visas not Work Permits which are not so easy to get in Canada or Australia, as you need to have job offer in first place. You need to be very special in current economic situation. Btw third party companies are good not just for getting visas, but they also helpful when you arrive into country they provide orientation sessions, internet access and prices are very reasonable.
.-= Vi @ Travel Tips´s last blog ..Internet in Singapore. It is free, but.. =-.
Love the information you are giving to visitors and potential residents of Canada. I would like to also point out that, if you would like to apply for government medical insurance in Canada, it may not come for a few months. This is where it would be in your favour to get covered by BIIS for time being.
For more information!

I'm a Canadian going to Germany on Swap, it's good to see people going to Canada on the same program!
.-= Ashlea´s last blog ..Could a Gap Year Abroad be Right For You =-.
This is great information for if you are under 35, but if you have a bit more experience, say 40 years old, does that make a lot of difference?
Would SWAP still be able to help with the application?

Positive: 5 out of 10
Mixed: 3 out of 10
Negative: 2 out of 10
Van Dormael has crafted a saga that, even at two-plus hours, is endlessly, enormously watchable.
van Dormael's vivid visual sense and genuine curiosity about the nature of love and life, time and death, make it well worth surrendering to his imagination for a while.
Van Dormael's intriguing script is more than matched in his flamboyant direction of this 2-hour-plus tale, heroically edited by Matyas Veress and Susan Shipton into a fluid, generally understandable narrative.
Though a lot of it is well written and directed and, quite often, funny or poignant, the individual scenes rarely become part of a larger whole.
An ambitious, if uneven, experimental sci-fi romance that is less a thought-provoker than a dazzling juggling act.

Nov 30, 2013This movie is a masterpiece no matter which way you look at it. It is weird, weird, weird and weird. Now I know those two statements may contradict each other, however, that is what the movie does and does it well. This movie is complex, focusing on the duration of the human life from the perspective of Nemo the man protagonist. (Nemo meaning "no body") The boy who never maid a choice.
Its fair to say that this is one of the best movies ever created and certainly is my favorite.
As I have mentioned it the world of "Mr Nobody" is complex, after watching the movie you will find yourself asking question which have no simple questions. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MUST SEE MOVIE!… Expand
Nov 1, 2013Mr Nobody is, for the record, my favourite film. Its a spiritual and philosophical journey of Nemo Nobody, a man who narrates his story to a journalist in the 22nd century as he approaches the final stage of life. His story concerns multiple lives based on the choices he makes throughout his life. It's an interesting concept, and it works extremely well; its beautifully filmed, has impressive performances (particularly from Jared Leto, who plays Nemo aged 35 and 118) and a delicate score by the director's late brother, the story whilst complex is both fascinating and thought-provoking. This is film-making at its finest. MASTERPIECE.… Expand
Jul 26, 2014Although somewhat confusing and seemingly off-track at times, Mr. Nobody accomplishes it's mission and pulls together for a big finish. It makes it pretty obvious the movie is about possibilities in life from the start, but for some reason it just twists your mind along the way. This is a pretty decent negative, hence the 9 points instead of 10. I mean, I'm pretty good at following plots, but even I was getting a little twisted here and there. However, I don't really feel this is a huge plot blunder. It is hard to pull something like this off and not get some confusion, but it could've been arranged a bit better. Regardless, Mr. Nobody will having you crying, smiling, and most importantly, thinking. I just love movies that make you think, and while the concept of the many different possible roads in life may not be revolutionary for philosophy, some visual aid and drama to put things in perspective is appreciated. Overall, loved this movie, highly recommended if you can appreciate, and follow, a complex plot with philosophical meaning.… Expand
Nov 5, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best movie i have seen in a while, i don't understand how some critics can give it 25 score and score twilight higher, that just show how incompetent some critics are. This movie was brilliant, it makes you wonder about life and what we could have done with different choices in our life, it really made me cry at one point. I guess you have to be in some state of mind to really appreciate this movie, for me it was beautiful.… Expand
Jul 27, 2014some very good cinematography paired with lazy writing with very little coherence, wrapping itself with arthouse editing and psuedo science philosophy; an extremely pretentious film. its a shame that that such good visuals are paired with bad writing.
Casting Leto a poor choice with such disjointed plots. He doesn't have the charisma to pull you through this kind of story. If we compare this to films in a similar vein, The Fountain, Run Lola Run, or butterfly effect; its apparent how inferior it is. As Leto progresses the movie, his stoicis and aloofness just turns you off to giving a **** about what's happening to him. Have you seen a less convincing father? Compared to the frenetic, emotional performance of Lola, her desperation sucks you through the movie. Its important to for the protagonist to draw the audience in to maintain tension and drama.
While this movie tries to pass itself off as something it's not; interjecting itself with bill nye presentations throughout; it ironically is less logical and thought provoking than the "B" movie butterfly effect. Just one expample is the characters name Nemo Nobody, which the movie continuously hits your over the head with. They could've explained one time that Nemo means nobody. There's reason why in 20,000 leagues, the name Nemo is used instead of "Nobody". Nobody as a name is hokey and totally unconvincing.… Expand

|Product & services pricing
|Chance of future purchase:
|Shipping & packaging:
|Customer service:
|Return/Replacement policy:
"VoipSupply was very good in the beginning. I picked them because of their extended warranty program. I used them in 2009 to preplace a 12 year old standard PBX system. More recently, I used them to replace an extremely old PBX system at a law office. I've had about a dozen phones go bad since I placed the order and all returns have been handled with little issue until recently. They recently changed their site and apparently their customer database. I am no longer able to request an RMA. Their site doesn't show my orders from 2009 or 2010. I've exchanged emails with various people within their company and have yet to reach a resolution. I've got 2 dead phones and 30+ others that still have about a years worth of warranty on them which seems pretty worthless at this point. I think it's time to find another vendor."
"I ordered a voip adapter and it was bad out of the box.
I made 4 attempts to get support to return for a replacement or credit. Voipsupply.com will not respond to emails, RMA forms, or phone calls. Stay away from this company!!!. Support after the sale is NON EXISTENT.
Would never order from them again.
Update 06/07/2011 Voipsupply did a call back and credited the cost of the item and reimbursed my shipping costs
I would recommend using due diligence in dealing with this firm."
"i purchased 2 aastra voip phones from voip supply last month. the quality and service have been great!"
"I ordered some Aastra VOIP phones and headsets from VoIP Supply for the office, and was very pleased with the experience.
When I placed my original order, I omitted the adapted cables needed to connect the headsets to the phones - Tom from customer service noticed this, and contacted me to ask if it should have been included. With most other merchants, this wouldn't have happened until I received my order and realized my mistake. Very impressive that they proactively resolved my issue without any prompting on my part!
"Excellent ordering process and good customer service follow-up. Would not hesitate to recommend."
"Good selection, information and price. Quick shipped my phone and all-in-all, an easy transaction. Highly recommend."
"Very good pricing, very quick shipping, I could not have dreamed of better experience."
"Return Customer to VoIP Supply and time and again they give me reason to look no further for my VoIP needs."
"This is my first entry into VOIP service and equipment. I was very pleased with your patience as I asked a lot of elementary questions. In addition, the prices were extremely competitive. In the future, this will be my first call for any VOIP equipment"
"VoIP supply will definately be the place where I purchase all of my future hardware. They always seem to have the best prices and the delivery times are more than acceptable.
The only issue that I had was that the shipping notices were a little confusing at times. When ordering volume equipment, pieces may ship from different wharehouses and the tracking numbers provided dont always detail ALL of the equipment that is being shipped. I would like to see the ability to track orders online in the future.
Other than that, shopping with VoIP Supply was an enjoyable experience. The staff was very polite and was always on top of your order. Voicemail and e-mail correspondece was always handled professionally and responded to promptly."
"Amazing customer support and GREAT LOW PRICE!!! Thanks VoipSupply!"
"Voipsupply had the best price on aastra phone that I needed. Shipping was fast and payment via paypal was convenient. I will shop here again."
"Nothing but positive comments for this order and company."
"Ordering was easy and product came quicker than I expected. No issues with installation, everything worked perfectly."
"Extremely helpful and efficient salesman to work with. My first order with this company and I was very impressed."

Everything renders perfectly in IE, Firefox and Chrome. The documentation on the website is ample and will get you up and running quickly. This appears to be a relatively new addition to the JED but I would like to state that it already seems competitive if not exceeding the features offered by the more established and commercial products like MooFaq.
I would like to thank the developer for releasing this excellent plugin and look forward to future releases from you.

The IRS recently issued a draft Form W-2 for 2011.
Employers use the form to report wages and employee tax withholding.
The IRS also plans to defer the new requirement for employers to report the cost of coverage under an employer-sponsored group health plan, making that reporting by employers optional in 2011.
The draft Form W-2 includes codes employers may use to report the cost of coverage under an employer-sponsored group health plan.

Roane County's unemployment rate took a 0.4 percent plunge in September and maintained its standing with the state's fifth-lowest jobless rate, according to statistics released late last month by the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development.
The county's 7.4 percent September rate is dramatically improved over a year ago. Roane County had a 9.1 unemployment rate in September 2009, the state's figures show.
Statistics show 26,200 workers in the county's 28,300 labor force were employed in September.
Nolan Nevels has been named director of Roane State Community College's Advanced Materials Training and Education Center in Oak Ridge.
Roane State received a $2.86 million federal grant to launch the center, which will train individuals for entry-level materials technician jobs in the high-growth carbon-fiber and solar-energy industries.
Roane State was one of 41 community colleges and organizations nationally — and the only one in Tennessee — to receive a Community-Based Job Training Grant from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Roane Medical Center, Harriman, welcomes five leaders to expand services and enhance patient care at the hospital.
Crystal Barnett, a registered nurse, is risk and regulatory compliance manager.
She evaluates hospital systems and processes to enhance patient safety at Roane Medical Center.
Barnett also works with administrators and staff, along with outside quality consultants to ensure safe, quality health care in accordance with standards set forth by Joint Commission.
Jim Gann, president and chief administrative officer of Roane Medical Center, was awarded the the Tennessee Hospital Association's Meritorious Service Award for Chief Executive Officer.
Gann received the honor during the 72nd annual meeting last month.
The Meritorious Service Award recognizes leadership and service by individuals in support of their hospitals and health systems.
Gann was honored for his patient advocacy, dedication to quality patient care and employee satisfaction.
The Internal Revenue Services has begun notifying about 1 million tax return preparers to remind them that they must renew their preparer tax identification numbers if they are still paid preparers.
Use of the numbers will be required on all federal returns prepared by paid tax return preparers starting Jan. 1, 2011.
Tax return preparers can register immediately using a new sign-up system available through www.IRS.gov/taxpros.
Preparers will need to create an account, complete the PTIN application and pay a $64.25 fee before receiving their ID numbers.
Dr. Robert Parker, a fourth-generation Kingstonian and former Kingston optometrist, has returned to his hometown to reopen his practice.
Parker is back in the area after serving 10 years in the U.S. Navy Medical Service Corps and as an independent contractor. He and his wife, Kingston native Elaine Toon Parker, both have family in the area and plan to retire in Kingston.
