Living in Arizona, my favorite thing about fall is the temperature dropping! It sure makes it easier to walk to school when its not one-twenty out. :)I would adore a pair of red tights! Super classy!
I am really excited for fall tights weather! Almost as excited as I am for pumpkin everything! Where I live there's so much to love about fall so I guess my favorite thing would have to be running through corn mazes while eating pumpkin donuts and drinking apple cider while dressed in comfy sweaters and awesome boots.
As for tights I'd probably go for maroon, yellow, and spruce green.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Oh, that tangy feeling in the air! I live for it all summer... I am not a hot weather kind of girl. The crisp, chilled-apple-cider feeling where you want to run away and elope with the first breathing being you see. That's what I love about fall. And call me boring, but I'd get brown tights, since I need them and I'm probably the least adventurous person in the milky way when it comes to fashion.ReplyDelete
My favorite thing is the smell of burnt leaves and my favorite color they have is charcoal :)ReplyDelete
my fav thing about fall is the decreasing temps and colorful leaves. I love the yellow and orchid pink tights!ReplyDelete

my favorite thing about fall is visiting flat rock, nc with my fiance. we go every year and it's beautiful every time! (we actually just went today for our first trip of the season - go figure!)

Being able to pull out my big collection of boots would have to be my absolute favorite thing about fall. And I bet if I wasn't in Arizona I'd love that part even more.

Fall to me is another name for Tights Season. Tights are on sale, you can appreciate trends as you walk down the street admiring tights on the lovely ladies of the city. And...it's Halloween! The perfect reason to buy and wear new and funky tights.
I would pick turqoise and orange because turquoise is the illegitimate child of blue and green and it's cool. Orange is so hard to find and nothing rhymes with it, but you can find a lot to go with it. Plus it's Halloweenie!!
My favorite thing about fall is the beautiful colours! I would love the teal and amethyst... they would fit in so nicely in my wardrobe.ReplyDelete

renal failure
is the sudden loss of kidney function. Kidneys clean waste from the blood and manage the balance of fluid in the body.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
There are many possible causes of sudden kidney failure because there are three anatomical sites for problems to occur in the renal system: before the blood enters the kidneys, within the kidneys, and after the urine is processed by the kidneys and enters the ureters.
Sudden kidney failure can result from problems with blood flow to the kidney, which can be caused by
acute renal artery obstruction,
blood loss, or dehydration. It can also result from conditions such as
that interfere with the work of the kidney.
The most common cause of sudden kidney failure occurs inside the kidney. Acute tubular necrosis is the death of the cells inside the kidney that act as the blood's filter. These cells die when they are deprived of oxygen. This can be due to surgical complications, inflammatory processes, blood clots, or the side effects of certain medicines. Physical problems, such as swollen prostate glands or
kidney stones
can also cause sudden kidney failure.
Factors that may increase your chance of developing acute renal failure include:
Many people do not have any symptoms, but symptoms can include the following:
be referred to a kidney specialist (nephrologist) for diagnosis and treatment. Your doctors will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor will ask about any medications you are taking.
Your bodily fluids will be tested. This can be done with:
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
The treatment for acute renal failure will depend on the exact cause and severity. Your doctor may recommend any of the following:
To help reduce your chance of acute kidney failure, take the following steps:

We are delighted to reveal another highly detailed map for the upcoming American Civil War wargame Brother Against Brother: the Drawing of the Sword!
The Battle of Wilson's Creek represents one of the first battles fought in the Mississippi Theatre and it was seen as a great springboard for the further Confederate operations in the region.
As we did for the previous Battle of Manassas, we are giving alongside the map also a 20 page PDF booklet with the precise description of the forces on the battlefield with the proper order of battle!

"The only true rule for cavalry is to follow the enemy as long as he retreats"- Stonewall Jackson
Good news for you, American Civil War fans!
As the release date of Brother Against Brother: the Drawing of the Sword approaches, we have a lot to share with you. One of the key features of the game is the incredible attention to detail and realism that was put to recreate the historical battle maps. So from now until release, we will give you the opportunity to let you browse them, discover them, own them and more!
We will start with the 1st Manassas battle map. This huge image has been slightly reduced to allow you to check it out online, but you can also download the fully blown thing alongside a 20 page PDF booklet with the battle history and the full in-game order of battle. Download it here if you want to be blown away!

"The enemy must be annihilated before he reaches our main battlefield. We must stop him in the water, destroying all his equipment while it is still afloat!"(1944 - Erwin Rommel)
The definitive wargame of the Western Front is updated to version 1.00.21! New contents and features are now fully integrated to give the game a more detailed perspective. For instance Italian reinforcements are now allowed prior to July 43 (in the past they were not allowed until after Italy had surrendered) and with this version it's more difficult to reach very high interdiction values.
The list is very long, so be sure to check the full changelog here.
The patch can be downloaded here
But this time the good news is not finished, because alongside the update we are very happy to announce that an expansion of the base game focused on the attempts of the Allies to open a second front in Europe prior to Overlord is now ready to enter the beta phase! And we ask players to help us test it by enlisting for the beta here

Good news soldiers!
As the release date is approaching, we think it's high time to share more visuals and information about Order of Battle: Pacific. There's no better way than a comprehensive AAR to delve into details and see what the game can really offer. That is why Lukas (game designer) and Dave (AI programmer) work hand in hand during 20 turns in the sultry Philippines against a very capable Japanese AI!
We are in December 1941 and the Japanese army is starting its invasion of the Philippines. Only few US units are available in this sector and have no chance of repelling the enemy. However, they can surely delay them. And the longer they resist, the better the US army will be able to strike back! But will Dave and Lukas cooperate effectively during 20 stressful turns?

I hope you gents wake up fresh and sufficiently rested, because today will be a long day. The enemy is awaiting us and he is heavily entrenched. But despite all the odds victory will be ours.
Because today is the day of the BIG update! Yes soldiers, Commander: The Great War is updated to version 1.6.2 and it's huge.
The changes are many and focused on giving more historical accuracy during the game. Now if a Capital city is captured a substantial national morale penalty will be applied, battleships have now been renamed DREADNOUGHTS and Britain has a larger navy than before.
Plus, two very useful functions have been added: "UNDO" for move and swap, and a "Go to next unit" button.
But it's not over!

Exploration is wired into our brains. If we can see the horizon, we want to know what's beyond." (Buzz Aldrin – US astronaut, member of Apollo 11 mission)
Since the PC release last October, engineers from developer Polar Motion have not been sitting on their hands. A MAC version, community contest, and several updates have transformed the fragile spaceship into a powerful rocket able to reach the stars. But exploration is the driving force of the team and they've just set up a booster that will let them land on a brand new platform: the iPad!
All of the elements that seduced PC players have been implemented in this adaptation.
3 types of campaigns including the Race to the Moon between the US and the USSR, a sandbox mode, historical and what-if space programs, and realistic management tools come together for a nerve-racking and inspiring experience as the head of a space agency.

Version 1.07 is ready and along with the usual bug fixes and database additions it introduces elements highly anticipated by the community.
First of all there is the implementation of the Weapon Release Authorization (WRA) feature that allows players and scenario designers to precisely tailor weapon allocation logic at different scales.
And it's also an opportunity to unveil Mission Editor 2.0, a powerful tool that offers way more customization options for the behavior of units. And on top of that, another improvement is the integration of the Scenario Attachments which allows bundling of all the assets with the scenario file to make the game even more user-friendly.

"You will kill ten of us, we will kill one of you, but in the end, you will tire of it first" (Ho Chi Minh – President of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam 1945-69)
Fifty years ago Operation Rolling Thunder was launched. Supported by dozens of US fighter-bombers, this massive bombardment campaign aimed to persuade North Vietnam to cease its assistance to communist insurgents in South Vietnam and to destroy key military targets. Soon after ground units were also deployed and the US was fully involved in this iconic Cold War conflict!
But in Vietnam, firepower and technology only get you so far. Thanks to their knowledge of the terrain, close relationship with the local population and their mastery of guerrilla tactics, the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese Army regulars proved to be a dangerous and elusive enemy.
As a result, victory is not determined by simply eliminating the enemy, but rather by winning the Hearts and Minds of the local population, thereby gaining their support to crush the insurgency.
In Vietnam'65, a new strategy game releasing today on PC and iPad, players will experience the true essence of this war. Developer Every Single Soldier has focused on providing a realistic and credible Counter-Insurgency model.

War Was Inevitable
Today we are excited to announce the development of a new 3D tactical space battles game called Star Hammer : The Vanguard Prophecy. Developer Black Lab Games is focused on designing a fascinating sci-fi game in which players will not only step into the shoes of a fleet commander – carefully selecting their spaceships and crew members – but also be at the spearhead of their squadron, maneuvering their capital ships like a hard-boiled captain!
The players will have to face a ferocious alien race - the Nautilid - which threat is as varied as it is innumerable and the game offers plenty of tactical situations in which players will have to take painful decisions. To succeed, players will need to be quick-learners to identify the weaknesses of the enemy and adopt an offensive behavior only when a clear breach appears.

It's an automatic watch with the allure of a ball gown, a precious object that brings together gold, diamonds and the delicacy of feathers. Dior VIII Grand Ba l "Plume " is released in rose gold to mark the coming of midnight with panache this New Year's Eve.
"Parties are necessary if they can give back a taste and a desire for enjoyment and happiness ,"Christian Dior wrote in his autobiography. And in the couturier's time parties and balls were witnessing a new golden age: the world's most elegant women twirled in their haute couture dresses until the early hours of the morning, at balls of stunning splendor at which Christian Dior was often the most celebrated couturier and almost always the star guest.
In honor of Monsieur Dior's passion for a party, the Dior VIII Grand Bal "Plume " watch in rose gold is a veritable dancing jewel. With its "Dior Inversé " caliber, its functional rotor placed on the dial evoking the movement of a ball gown, swishing to the rhythm of a never-ending waltz.
Graphic and timeless, this exceptional watch, in its architectural aspect, recalls the legendary Bar suit. Its flaring skirt has been reinvented in an incredibly precious way with an assemblage of delicate feathers worthy of the meticulous work of the couture ateliers at 30 Avenue Montaigne. Its bracelet is in the same rose gold as the case, set with baguette diamonds that serve to frame its mother-of-pearl face. The fruit of work of minute precision, Dior VIII Grand Bal "Plume " in rose gold captures the precious elegance of a ball gown, to celebrate the end of the year in a way it deserves.

Three-Cup Squid (三杯小卷)
I love squid but I hate cooking squid. There is just too much work when it comes to squid—peeling off the membrane, removing the ink, and so forth. I had so many "accidents" when the squid ink squirted all over my clothes and face, and it really wasn't pleasant, and I would smell like a squid no matter how hard I cleaned off the stain. So, as much as I love squid, I hardly make it at home, unless I really have a serious craving for it.
After the confinement, I have been on a binge of eating seafood, so I bought some squid, took the time to clean them (no accident this time!) and made three-cup squid, or 三杯小卷, a popular Taiwanese recipe that I love. (Check out my three-cup chicken recipe.)
The three-cup squid was fabulous, and I think I really should be making more squid dishes at home. ;)

Believe it or not, my mum saved the squid ink for my Chinese calligraphy when I was in Primary school. Oh, it smelled yucky! My funny childhood. :)
Back to the squid cooking, I just realized I have not cooked any squid dish before. Just help my mum to clean it. Squid dish can be photogenic, just like yours.
Good to see you back! :) Hope all's been good, Bee. Three Cup Squid sounds (and looks) really good. I like the chinese name even more! They do look like 小卷.
I love squid and I cook it often. I would love to try this recipe as well, it looks fantastic.
Wow. I've never had the squid version on this dish. I usually only see it with chicken.
This looks great! Have heard of 'San bei ji' but never heard of a squid version. Will try it out soon.
p.s Hope all is good with you! x
After seeing your tweet yesterday, I bought squid and basil – ready to cook this – hope it will turn out as good as yours :)
I have access to cheap, fresh, peeled and cleaned squid.
No clay pot though, is there a second best cooking method?
Half fill a basin or the kitchen sink with water and clean squid immersed in it. Wash cleaned squid in clean water and set aside and repeat until all squid are clean and washed. No more ink squirts on you. This method also works for peeling onions and shallots. Cry no more.
Try this easy fried squid recipe: Coat pieces of squid with egg white, coat with corn flour or "Kentucky" flour and add squid in to deep fry them in hot oil. CAUTION: COVER WITH LID IMMEDIATELY AFTER ADDING SQUID IN HOT OIL. You will hear explosions going on. If you are frying without a lid be prepared to have a splattered and very oily kitchen floor and walls and pieces of squid on the floor too.
Love spicy squid especially in curries.
I love eating squid too but it's so tricky to overcook and they become chewy like elastic band! I like them either crunchy or soft but not chewy. Many Asian restos I've eaten at do not make this well in Miami, always disappointed but I keep hoping for a good one. I heard you either cook very little or for a long time. Is that true?
There are some wonderful dishes that are worth the extra effort once in awhile to get a great result. This definitely looks like one of them.
I love squid. And to see them in a sand pot is to think of long cooking time but here it is short and quick. Kind of a bit of culinary trickery.
I agree with the others..never thought of making squid this way….definitely going into the to-do list. Thanks!
This looks really good! I love squid!
Hi, can I substitute the chinese rice wine to something that is non alcoholic? What is your suggestion?
Love the recipe. I just made Malaysian spicy squid from The New Malaysian Cookbook. Unbelievable!!!! http://inthekitchenwitheva-eva.blogspot.com/2011/04/malaysian-spicy-squid.html
What do you do with corn starch and water?
I love 3-cup chicken, was so excited to see 3-cup squid! I had a bag of squid tubes in my freezer that begged, "Cook me!" This is a simple recipe but so tasty and flavorful! It was easy to cook and looked attractive too. A winner!
Made this over the weekend and loved it! It was my first time cooking with squid and it was so easy I don't know why I waited so long to try it!
After seeing your tweet yesterday, I bought squid and basil – ready to cook this – hope it will turn out as good as yours
Just discovered this website and love it.
What is the reason for blanching the squid first?

Oh my god.. I guess business is business overall.
Phoronix: Yahoo Pays Canonical, Now They're The Ubuntu Default
Canonical's Rick Spencer has written about two small changes that are happening to Mozilla Firefox in Ubuntu 10.04. The first is the default Ubuntu home-page with its search box in Firefox will now follow whatever the user has set as their default search engine in Firefox...
Oh my god.. I guess business is business overall.
While this isn't nearly enough, anything to level the playing field between searrh vendors is a good thing in my book. Google is amassing too much power for our good.
yes, google is becoming really powerful. but i think it's okay if a company monopolizes as long as they do good. and google is COMPLETELY open source friendly.
and didn't microsoft and yahoo make an agreement also?
i think yahoo is becoming partially bing powered.
well, anyway, this just makes me want to switch to fedora even more
For me it's good news, it's not a direct deal with M$ and a tiny change that could make good money for Canonical some day and I think Google has been doing too well and hence has backed off a lot from the "don't be evil" slogan, so it's a good reality check for Google too.
Aren't they just taking away the Mozilla-foundation's revenue (well, part of it)? IIRC they've got a similar deal with google.
If that's the case I'd say that's a kinda shitty thing of canonical to do. Sure, it's open-source so it's (legally) OK, but I still think that that revenue is rightfully Mozillas.
Its all about the dollar bills...
Wow, I'm impressed. I don't care what search engine Ubuntu decides to use, but the fact that yahoo stroke a deal with Canonical means that Ubuntu actually counts. I had never thought about this, always assumed that the search engine was left to Firefox default one. Good and very interesting news.

Rated 5 out of 5 by benb_s PE Underarm Portfolio Bag = Awesome I use it as a way to carry my magazine and iPad 2 safely with me to and from work every day whilst commuting on the train to and from London. It does the job perfectly, looks very stylish and is very well made. For the design and build quality of it, I also think it is incredibly good value - I was shocked by how much so. The only drawback is the zip overhang which sometimes can make it nigh on impossible to open with one hand. But I would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. May 6, 2011

The Uses of Haiti
The plight of the people of Haiti, made even more terrible than usual with the ravages of the earthquake, serves to remind us of our good fortune. Despite the sickly economy, despite the weariness with winter, despite day to day anxieties and worries, our lives in America are infinitely easier than those of the people of this impoverished nation to our south. We might be tempted to say a quick, silent thanks for our luck to live in a rich nation and flip the channel to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Or we could pause to wonder about this country, her people, and their lives there. If that wondering leads to curiosity to know more, a few books are well worth reading, not only for the enlightenment they bring, but also for the inspiration they generate.
Paul Farmer
Tracy Kidder tells the story of Paul Farmer, a doctor fighting poverty and disease in the poorest corners of the world, in "Mountains Beyond Mountains". Farmer is a Harvard-educated physician and medical anthropologist who has valiantly fought to reduce the incidence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis in Haiti, Peru, the prisons of Russia, and third world nations in Africa and Asia. His understanding of the interconnectedness of politics, wealth, social systems and disease has helped to revolutionize infectious disease treatment regimens.
Kidder, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, writes with riveting immediacy and intimacy about his subjects that grabs the reader and holds him to the last word. He lays the foundation for Farmer's empathy for his patients and commitment to caring for them in Farmer's youth with eccentric parents. He and his siblings grew up living on an old bus, then in a tent, later a salvaged riverboat. They were poor but encouraged to be self-reliant by their very bright, ingenious father and nurturing mother.
While studying at Duke in 1982, Farmer became interested in public health during a visit to Haiti. He saw how desperate poverty inescapably affected health and life expectancy, and felt compassion for people in need of basic help to survive. From then on, he divided his time between Duke, then Harvard Medical School and Haiti, developing his own curriculum for a dual MD/PhD in medicine and medical anthropology, with the objective of helping Haitians fight contagious disease through meeting essential social needs—for housing, clean water, sanitation.
He is a passionate, driven man, incredibly intelligent, with an inexhaustible desire to heal. Despite the political turmoil in Haiti, he set up a clinic, Zanme Lasante (Partners in Health, an international non-profit), and found ways of connecting with the Haitians whose culture is so different from his own, thanks to his insatiable curiosity and genuine interest in others. Farmer received a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" for his work developing effective treatments for multi-drug resistant TB, which he donated to Partners in Health. Today, in addition to his work in Haiti, he teaches at Harvard, is a practicing physician, and writes ("The Uses of Haiti" among others). As an expert on Haiti, Farmer is consulting for and actively engaged in earthquake relief efforts in Haiti.
BookPage said that "compared to Dr. Paul Farmer, Mother Teresa was a slacker. But she had better PR." "Mountains Beyond Mountains" has helped the world know him since it was published in 2003.
His story would be inspiring to young people who are thinking not simply of careers but also of doing something significant with their lives, making a meaningful contribution to society. Farmer is a testament to the powerful influence for good just one passionate person can have.
Edwidge Danticat
Another writer worth reading is Edwidge Danticat (pronounced Ed-weedj' Dan-ti-kah'), author of "Breath, Eyes, Memory ", "The Farming of Bones", "The Dew Breaker", "Brother, I'm Dying". Born in Port-au-Prince in 1969 to Haitian parents, she was raised by her aunt and uncle when her parents emigrated to the U.S. She joined them at the age of twelve in Brooklyn and began writing about the Haitian experience. Her work is praised for its lush lyricism. Her first book was an Oprah Book Club selection, another was a National Book Award finalist, a third won the American Book Award, and her latest won the National Book Critics Circle Award. In 2009, she received a MacArthur Foundation genius award.
"Brother, I'm Dying" is the account of the attempt of her Uncle Joseph, minister of a church near Port-au-Prince, to emigrate to the U.S. after political conditions grew exceedingly grim and his life was threatened. When he arrived in Miami, with his papers all in order, Homeland Security and Immigration officers shackled him and placed him in Krome Detention Center where two days later, at the age of 81, he died.
Zora Neale Hurston
Native Floridian Zora Neale Hurston, discovered and popularized by Alice Walker, lived in Haiti, researching folk traditions. She wrote her most famous novel, "Their Eyes Were Watching God", in the space of several weeks while living in Haiti.

Simple fix for the Osmos font loading problem: open fonts/FortuneCity.ttf in fontforge, go to File -> Generate Fonts, generate a new TrueType font file (tell fontforge to ignore the problems and generate it anyway), and replace the original fonts/FortuneCity.ttf with your newly-created file.
Damn 1-minute edit window... I wanted to add I don't use the default Ubuntu Flash Player (which is always 32-bit, in 64-bit case handled via nspluginwrapper) but an alpha 64-bit one from this PPA repo:
OT: Why, oh why doesn't Osmos have a multiplayer mode? It just screams for it and it should be quite easy to implement compared to all previous work. If a player can fight with an AI, it's also possible to insert another player there...
Of course i have got flash 10.3 64bit in my browser, but the game is shipped with flash polayer 10 32bit integrated. Or is there an option to extract it?
a game demo works fine in a browser.
Workaround for Machinarium: play in windowed mode to avoid the pointer lag, and hold the right mouse button pressed while clicking with the left. Not ideal, but at least it's playable.
Try this:
Then just use your webbrowser...Code:dd if=Machinarium of=Machinarium.swf ibs=1 skip=$(grep -abo FWS Machinarium|cut -f1 -d:|tail -1)
N. The Linux version of Flash 6 just wasn't cutting it. As was said earlier, they should have just released it this way.

Many of the ads on Phoronix are starting to get in the way of actually using the site. Mainly these are the Flash ads, which with FlashBlock (and yes, I actually do _need_ that -- as anyone on Phoronix knows, some Linux graphics drivers still have issues with basic accel, and letting Flash load up on said desktops is a sure way to have the whole browser stop responding) often just cover up half the damn page making navigation impossible. Apparently some of the ads are dynamically resizing their containers after loading.
Also, the mouse-over ads that pop up Flash widgets make it near impossible to actually get the mouse cursor over various article links without ending up with another covers-half-the-damn-page popup appearing, needing me to click on it, wait for Flash to load, wait for the browser to respond again, and then summarily dismiss the ad.
Ads are fine and good, and hell, I've even bought a product advertised on Phoronix once. But the current ad system is not effective and it's making me less likely to visit the site (and hence, less likely to buy anything from the ads). If your ad network insists on Flash ads I won't see anyway, fine, but at least make sure their code actually sizes the damn Flash containers appropriately. No other site I have ever been to has ads broken in this fashion.
(Primarily using Chrome 6 Beta x86-32.)
I have a fix that's been working for just about every obnoxious ad for years - it's called not having flash installed. Recommended!
I'm sure Michael would prefer you bought a preferred membership or whatever he's calling it. All the goodness served without adds for one low annual subscription.
Oh, huh, I didn't even know Phoronix _had_ a premium membership. Took me a while to find that little link in the corner. $2.50/mo is about what I pay for LWN and I read Phoronix content just as often, so I'll go for a subscription. Thanks!
Would seems the ads are goin down hill
These ads are from the bottom of the barrow.
I don't mind the ads but the big ads that take up nearly the whole page are what grinds my gears to powder. Does Michael ever review the ads that are being presented? Good ad placement is key in my opinion, put them at the top or right side of the page. Also too many flash ads do tend to make my browser crash or freeze as well (firefox here) same on Windows and Linux
What ads?
(adblock+ user here)
I do support the sites I regularly visit by turning Adblock off. But some of these ads are just too obnoxious, and make it hard not to block them out. (on the same token, I always click the scam ads... you know the ones about the whiter teeth and the flat belly. I make them pay!)

Home Health Care: Who Pays for What?
There are five major sources of payment for home health care: self-pay, Medicare, Medicaid, insurance, and community service programs.
Senior Alert
Home health agencies must give you a notice that explains why and when they estimate Medicare will stop paying for your mom or dad's home health care. If you believe your parent needs continued home health care, you can appeal the decision. Ask the home health care agency for the 800 number of the regional home health intermediary. If you want to take the risk, you can still receive home care services and pay the agency directly. If you win the appeal, Medicare will reimburse you.
- Medicare usually covers your mom or dad's home health care if your parent is homebound, under a physician's care, and requires medically necessary skilled nursing or therapy services. A physician must order these services for Mom or Dad. Medical equipment and supplies along with different therapies are also covered under the Medicare home health benefit. The services must be intermittent, meaning part-time. The rules governing home health care benefits change frequently, so check in often with the Web site at www.medicare.gov. You can track down the home health care intermediary's phone number for your region at the site.
- Medicaid is a joint state-federal medical assistance program for people with low incomes. Because Medicaid is state administered, each state has its own rules and benefits governing home health care benefits. The best way to determine if your parent qualifies for programs in your state is to contact the local area agency on aging or your local welfare office.
- Various insurance programs will cover home health care, but you really have to read your policies well. Some Medi-gap policies offer at-home recovery services when the policyholder is receiving Medicare-covered skilled home health services, but it must be ordered by your mom or dad's physician. This type of coverage is often used to help your parent recover from surgery or an acute illness. Long-term care insurance policies also offer home health care services, but plans vary widely, with different sets of requirements. If your mom or dad has such a plan, read it carefully before bringing in home health care services.
- Medicare managed care plans must offer the same exact benefit that original Medicare provides. Some plans offer more than Medicare; again, read the policies carefully.
- The Veterans Administration will provide home health care services to veterans who are at least 50 percent disabled due to a service-related condition. A physician must authorize the service, and the care is delivered through the VA's hospital-based home care units. Homemaker services are not covered.
Community organizations do offer a number of home health care services to assist families' care for a loved one at home. Some states offer family caregiver support programs through their area agency on aging. Faith-based groups offer companion services and homemaker services, and some home health care agencies offer care at reduced rates for low-income persons. Check with the area agency on aging to find out what's available in your community and state.
