The first time I saw (presented by ), the idea of captured me.
I live in a . NET world most of the time, and I know of no similar solution for . NET. It's been awhile since that first time cheap generic overnight viagra, and I've tinkered here and there trying to get something comparable, but usually come up short. That is until I found .
Watchr gave me the file change detection capabilities I needed, and the extensibility to do whatever I want when a file has been detected as changed. This made it incredibly easy to hook up some autotest goodness in my . NET world.
You'll have cheap generic overnight viagra to have ruby installed, and gems. Then, the very first thing you'll have to do is
gem install watchr --source=http://gemcutter. org
Here is my watchr script:
require 'autotest. rb' watch( '^. *UnitTest. *. cs$' ) [cheap generic overnight viagra] do |match| run_test(match. to_s) endThis is basically just a regex that says to watch any *. cs files that also contain the string "UnitTest", and when it finds a change in a file matching that description, call run_test with the matched file name. So all the magic is in autotest. rb… lets check it out:
require 'rexml/document' def build(test_project) `msbuild /nologo #{test_project}` end def mstest(test_container, test_results_file, tests_to_run) tests_to_run = ([""] << tests_to_run). flatten File. delete(test_results_file) if File. exists?(test_results_file) `mstest /nologo /resultsfile:#{test_results_file} /testcontainer:#{test_container} #{tests_to_run. join(" /test:")}` test_results = process_mstest_results(test_results_file) File. Cheap generic overnight viagra delete(test_results_file) if file. exists?(test_results_file) return test_results end def process_mstest_results(results_file) results = {} File. open(results_file) do |file| xml = REXML::Document. new(file) results[:num_tests] = xml. get_elements("//UnitTestResult"). length failures = [] xml. elements. each("//UnitTestResult[@outcome='Failed']") do |e| failure = {} failure[:message] = e. elements["Output/ErrorInfo/Message"]. get_text stack = e. elements["Output/ErrorInfo/StackTrace"]. get_text. value stack_match = /^. *at (. *) in(. *):line (\d+)$/. match(stack) failure[:stack] = stack_match[1] if stack_match failure[:location] = stack_match[2] if stack_match failure[:line] = stack_match[3] if stack_match failure[:stack] = stack if !stack_match failures << failure end results[:failures] = failures end return results end def show_results(results) puts "#{results[:num_tests]} tests run (#{results[:failures]. length} failures)" results[:failures]. each do |failure| puts "---------------------------------------" puts "Message: #{failure[:message]}" puts "Location: #{failure[:location]}" puts "Line: #{failure[:line]}" puts "Stack Trace: #{failure[:stack]}" end end def run_test(file_name) test_container = "" test_results_file = "result. trx" test_project = "" system("cls") system("echo Detected change in:") system("echo #{file_name}") system("echo Building and Testing") test_namespace = '' test_class = '' test_names = [] File. open(file_name, "r") do |f| f. each do |line| ns_match = /^namespace (. *)$/. match(line) test_namespace = ns_match[1] if ns_match class_match = /^\s*public class (. \w*). *$/. match(line) test_class = class_match[1] if class_match test_name_match = /^\s*public void (\w*). *$/. match(line) test_names << test_name_match[1] if test_name_match end end test_names = test_names. map { |n| "#{test_namespace}. #{test_class}. #{n}" } build(test_project) results = mstest(test_container, test_results_file, test_names) show_results(results) endThe key parts (I think) are the fact that I'm using MSTest to run my tests (this can easily be modified to run your framework of choice… note MSTest is not my choice ;) ). The result parsing is also specific to the MSTest output format, but should be simple enough for any framework that can output XML. Also, I'm making some assumptions based on my project. . . we've got one unit test project, so I know I can run tests in a single DLL, and rebuilding only that project, I don't have to worry about choosing the correct project and output dll to build and run tests in. To get the thing up and running, just run
watchr <path to watchr script>
Please, use/adapt/give feedback/whatever at will.
Go forth and autotest, . NET comrades!

For meeting planners uncertain of how to navigate the complexities of doing business in unfamiliar destinations, there is good news: hoteliers are ahead of the curve. Marriott has already added more than 10,000 rooms in South Africa, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.
2) The global middle class will have 4.9 billion members. The middle class is always looking for exactly what meetings are meant to deliver: new career opportunities and new knowledge. By 2030, the middle class is going to be huge, but the map of the middle class will dramatically shift. Brookings Institution scholar Homi Kharas forecasts that the European and American middle classes will shrink from 50 percent of the global total to just 22 percent. Instead, many middle class professionals will live in China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia. In fact, by 2030, Asia will account for 64 percent of the global middle class.
As meeting planners look to connect with prospective attendees across the Asia-Pacific region, PCMA is working to deliver the essential tools for building relationships. If your organization is carving out an APAC strategy, be sure to read and share "10 Essential Lessons You Should Know Before Hosting APAC Attendees" with your colleagues.
3) The middle will be spending $56 trillion.
Today, the middle class accounts for approximately $23 trillion in consumer demand. That number will surge by the time the next decade comes to a close. With much of the $56 trillion annual spending set to come from Africa and Asia, meeting planners must take steps to determine how their registration fees can be part of the purchasing pattern.
Crafting your organization's global strategy starts with knowing how to communicate. Check out "5 Tips To Improve Your Communication With Attendees Around The World."

I haven't seen the show or read the books, but I read a post on io9 about some changes in the show's second season that they considered improvements on the second book.
I agree with some of those points, in particular Charles Dance and Maisie Williams perform so brilliantly together that any of their scenes easily compensates for many ills. OTOH, I think Robb's love story was cheesy and diminishes the choices the character makes in the book, and the Winterfell arc was badly butchered with the removal of entire layers of story and important characters. This is especially annoying when time is instead spent copiously on characters that don't even exist in the book and have for some reason been kept around despite their exposition-carrying function from season 1 no longer being upheld. And Cersei's doing an odd little hot and cold dance vs. her rather more consistent portrayal in the book, and a lovely bit of finale-defining ambiguity is culled from Jon's story, and Tyrion's shining, key moment of the story got cut (leaving him with rather little to actually do despite copious screen time), and Stannis is behaving very out of character - even for the series - in the Battle of Blackwater, ... I'm not a purist; I don't expect an adaptation to cling to the books page by page. In fact, I thought the first season did a tremendous job at picking the best bits from the book, and adding its own, complementary beats that didn't contradict the book but instead showed events from new, interesting angles or gave new insights into characters. Season 2 is far less successful at this - it got jumbled up in the picking-the-best-bits stage and didn't even get to adding much in the way of complementary stuff. Ultimately, I think Clash was just a little too big for one season. I'm happy they're doing Storm in two seasons - it's even longer and higher-density than Clash. All the potential is certainly still there, it can easily recover (at least for now, when the changes haven't snowballed into insurmountable problems yet).
Yeah, I know I read an interview with Emilia Clarke where she said they were changing things more dramatically as it when on. I just wasn't sure how drastic the changes were.
I think it's best if a show does diverge from the books it's based on once it establishes its own identity. For one thing, you never know which actors will break out from the pack or turn out to have chemistry. If the heroine's love interest in the book turns out to be played by an actor she has no chemistry with at all, while the minor supporting character turns out to have great chemistry with her and steals every scene he's in, it would be wrong not to have the heroine leave the book love interest and hook up with the supporting character. The show has to be its own entity and do what best serves it as a show.
^ I would agree with that actually, except that I think in this case some of the changes that were made were not for the better of the story, nor easily explained by production pressures. IOW, so far they have been better when they have been closer to the books.
In theory I agree with this..... having read all of GOT long before the tv show and having watched the series, I don't think that could work for this show as well. I don't mind the changes they're doing, or what they're adding, in fact I love the show in its own right, but only because they're still not changing the overall plotline or where its headed and I don't think they can. In a series like this, where who people fall in love with are critical to what happens books later, couples can't really be changed up on a whim. You can't really change the overall direction of the book's plotlines and still have things work out. That being said - I do love the show, changes and all, and don't quibble about them. There were some things that surprised me, but I liked them.
^But that's just it -- after a while, once the show has established its own identity and direction, it wouldn't be trying to follow the same storyline as the novels anymore. It would be constructing its own version of the universe that might draw on elements from the novels but would put them together in its own distinctive way. It's just natural that over time, the two versions of the work would diverge more and more as the differences increased. To offer sort of an inverted example, consider The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This started out as a radio serial and then a couple of record albums before it became a series of books. The first book was pretty much a straight adaptation of the first few episodes of the radio series, albeit with an altered ending so that a cliffhanger moment in the radio show had a more conclusive resolution in the book. That meant the second book had to shuffle things around, still incorporating a lot from the radio series but putting it together differently, leaving out some bits, and adding other bits. It ended in much the same place that the first "season" of the radio series ended, though. But then the third book ended up going in a whole different direction from the radio series, with only a few points of commonality (in fact, I think it was largely based on an unused Doctor Who pitch), and later books just diverged more and more radically, so that most of the material in the second "season" of the radio series never got adapted into prose (or indeed any other format as far as I can recall).
I understand - its just hard to discuss since you have not read/seen it. I would be very interested in having the discussion once you have. It just wouldn't work with this series. Now what would work - is a tv show based on the world with an all new plot and characters. But if you were going to change the overall plotline, you would have had to change the beginning as well. There is stuff happening in the prologue that sets up events in book 5 and so on. What the show is excellent at doing is adding in new scenes with various characters, showing their POV that you don't get in the book, fleshing out a lot of details, and definitely changes its fair share of details throughout. I'm just speaking in broad terms of the general direction the show is driving (the overall main plot) - is still staying consistent. How things get there are changing (which upsets some fans, me I don't care) but the destination in the end remains the same.
If you're adapting something into a new medium, some things are going to change simply because different things will work in different media, but it's also a truism that you'll have to have some changes in order to give the people familiar with the original the same level of surprises and so on that the new audience will have... Most of the changes to GoT season 2 have been pretty obviously because of the sheer size and scope, but overall they're still heading in the same direction with the plotlines. What's interesting is that, despite having to hack out a lot to fit ACoK into 10 episodes, they've actually included (especially in the last three episodes or so) a bunch of stuff from A Storm of Swords...
I don't think I'm likely to. From what I've heard, it's too dark and depressing and violent for me. Or something that incorporates characters and plot elements from the books but combines them in new ways and tells new stories based on them, as The Dresden Files and Legend of the Seeker did, or as a movie like Clash of the Titans (the Harryhausen original) did with Greek mythology, or as superhero movies do with the comics that inspired them. It doesn't have to be a binary choice between slavish copying and complete newness. There are countless ways to rework the elements of a story, or to combine pieces of different stories to generate a new story. But what you do in that case is what Straczynski did with Babylon 5: have certain key events and plot points that you need to pay off, but be flexible about when they happen, what happens in between them, what leads from one to the other, or even which characters play certain key roles. There can be multiple paths to reach the same endpoint. Again, it's not a binary choice.
It is dark Christopher, and violent, so if thats not your thing, than you're probably right to avoid it. It is actually my favorite series, and I picked up the first one about 11 years ago, long before HBO made him uber famous. The third book is my favorite modern novel written.
I was worried about not having books to take with me to D.C. (since I'm a very fast reader), so I went out and picked up the ENT-R book The Romulan War: Beneath the Raptor's Wing and started reading it. I've also got the DS9 Millenium Trilogy waiting in the wings, and will probably go pick up The Romulan War: To Brave the Storm either before I leave or, if it's available, while I'm in D.C.
Another good example of this is True Blood. It the takes most of the characters, and a lot of the basic concepts from the books, but then tends to take them in a very different directions.
I decided to pick up Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles as a sort of tribute. It was the first book of his I'd ever read and fell in love with it.
Finished The Wrath Of Khan novelization. I appreciated all of the extras the movie didn't offer. 8/10 Now onto The Search For Spock.
Just finished reading The Anubis Gate & Rivers of London. Anubis Gate was pretty good. It's the second Tim Powers book I've read(after On Stranger Tides, which I read yonks ago on finding it served as partial inspiration for The Secret of Monkey Island), and both have a main character who makes bad choices and screws up a bit. Which isn't that odd, but Powers has an interesting way of doing it that I can't quite put my finger on. Rivers of London was an fun enough magical detective book for me to try the next in the series.
I just finished reading the Bantam ST novel Planet of Judgment by Joe Haldeman, which I haven't read in a long time. I'd forgotten how much it got right about Trek continuity, by the standards of the time. Either Haldeman was a fan, or he really studied the James Blish adaptations in detail. (He even includes Blish as a character in the novel, as the scientist James Atheling; Blish wrote literary criticism under the pseudonym William Atheling, Jr.) Haldeman added a number of ideas of his own that are hard to reconcile with continuity, but that make good sense, like the use of high-tech body armor on dangerous missions and helmets for the security staff (an idea actually adopted in the TOS movies). When I read this book in the past, I wasn't aware of Haldeman's experience as an Army veteran, which heavily influenced his most famous work, The Forever War; but now I can see how much his military experience informed his portrayal of the crew's procedures in crisis situations. It's also quite an epic and ambitious story, both in terms of the great hazards the characters face (and ultimately the civilization-wide stakes they must contend with) and the attempt to explore and develop the main characters; this book was the first attempt to depict the details of McCoy's divorce, for instance. Unfortunately, the writing style is somewhat cursory and compressed, so that events that should be big and emotionally powerful just get a few brief sentences of description before moving on. So it doesn't feel as profound and epic as it really should, which I suppose is why I've always only liked this novel rather than loving it. Also, Haldeman goes to some lengths to introduce several supporting characters and their relationships -- the borderline romantic triangle of Atheling, Sharon Follett, and Andre Charvat -- and then never really does anything with it, as those characters fade into the background when the climactic events draw near. Still, for all it's flaws, it's one of the two strongest Bantam Trek novels by a good margin, surpassed only by David Gerrold's The Galactic Whirlpool.

Summary and Analysis Chapters 30-31 Bookmark this page Manage My Reading List Summary Front-de-Boeuf, mortally wounded in the fighting, is reviled by Ulrica as he is dying. She rightfully accuses him of blasphemy and parricide, for she has witnessed the murder of his father. In a last desperate effort at revenge, Ulrica has set fire to the castle. Both she and Front-de-Boeuf perish in the flames. Meanwhile the leadership of the besiegers has been divided between the Black Knight and Locksley. In the fighting the Black Knight captures De Bracy and saves Ivanhoe from the burning castle. All of the prisoners escape except Rebecca, who is carried off by the amorous Brian de Bois-Guilbert. In an attempt to stop the Templar, Athelstane receives a blow on the head and falls down as if dead. Analysis Animosity and distrust within the ranks of the Normans are apparent in these chapters. Front-de-Boeuf rather hopes to see De Bracy and Bois-Guilbert die along with the Saxons in the burning castle. Similarly, De Bracy and Bois-Guilbert discuss Front-de-Boeuf's death with equanimity and are only interested in its consequences for the cause of Prince John. They then accuse each other of superstition or heresy in regard to religion. Both condemn Fitzurse for incurring the enmity of Locksley. The division of leadership is noteworthy in that Cedric declines to lead the Saxon forces. "Not so, by the soul of Hereward!, lead I cannot." The implication of lack of leadership ability may be one of the keys to the fall of Saxon dominion. Ulrica's death song is an imitation of the poems of antiquity of the Scalds, Scandinavian minstrels. Ulrica probably learned these legendary strains from her Scandinavian ancestors. The death scene involving Ulrica is perhaps melodramatic but serves to intensify the background of superstition and legend which is a part of the novel.

Diagnostic Messages in the Output Window
Visual Studio .NET 2003
You can write run-time messages to the Output window using the Debug class or the Trace class, which are part of the System.Diagnostics class library. Use the Debug class if you only output in the Debug version of your program. Use the Trace class if you want output in both the Debug and Release versions. For more information, see System.Diagnostics Namespace.
The Trace and Debug classes provide the following output methods:
- Various Write methods, which output information without breaking execution. For more information, see Debug Class and Trace Class. These methods replace the Debug.Print method used in previous versions of Visual Basic.
- The Assert method, which breaks execution and outputs information if a specified condition fails. By default, the Assert method displays the information in a dialog box. For more information, see Assertions in Managed Code.
- The Fail method, which always breaks execution and outputs information. By default, the Fail method displays the information in a dialog box. For more information, see Debug.Fail and Trace.Fail.
In addition to any information you output, the Output window displays the following:
- The names of any modules the debugger has loaded or unloaded.
- Information about any exceptions that are thrown.
Note If you call a Trace or Debug method from the Immediate window the output appears in the Immediate window rather than the Output window. For more information, see Immediate Mode, Command Window.

El Montanon Trail is a 7.6 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Santa Barbara, California that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as difficult. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is accessible year-round.
nature trips
wild flowers
A strenuous hike, especially if you are hiking from North to South from the Prisoners/Del Norte portion of the island, but well worth it. Beautiful views of Santa Cruz island that offer ocean, rolling hill, canyon, and mountain scenery. Bring plenty of water.
Hiked this about a year ago. It's a beautiful, easy to follow trail to the top of the mountain. Once you reach the top, you'll feel the other side of the island beckoning. We caved to the siren call of the backcountry , went off trail, and quite enjoyed continuing on the ridge that goes towards Smugglers. If you go this way, be prepared to encounter some steep terrain with a thick layer of loose gravelly stone. We did it without trekking poles and stayed on our feet, no problem. Continue down throgh the gresslands (formerly grazing land) until you get to the road, then follow that down to Smugglers. I can't remember how we found our way down to Smugglers exactly, but the Island isn't huge, there aren't any predatory animals, and if you've got a few hours to kill (as is likely), this is a great way to go off trail without feeling like you're getting lost in the woods.

The Small Business Owners Guide to Outsourcing Effectively
If you are a baby or average sized business and you ambition to break aggressive in the exchange you charge to be outsourcing some of your business activities. Outsourcing is if you arrangement addition alone or aggregation to accomplish some of your company's business services.
The bulk of time that you will absorb on tasks such as scheduling biking affairs and meetings, answering your buzz and demography messages, creating a web architecture and accounting on a circadian base can now be minimized significantly. The added time that you will now accept accessible to allot to bringing in business added than justifies the dispensing of these duties to alfresco contractors.
There are three tasks that all baby or average sized business should consistently outsource: the scheduling of business travel, accounting and web page designs including a company's amusing media and blog pages.
Travel Plans
The aboriginal assignment that a baby or average sized business should outsource is biking plans. This business action can be expertly performed at a actual baby bulk by online basic administration who will not alone acquisition the best flights accessible but will accommodate a account of hotels, car rental agencies and restaurants according to your requests.
When you outsource your biking affairs you are provided with a account of options by email that accomplish the accommodation action a two to 5 minute endeavor instead of one that ability yield one to two hours at a minimum and abundant altercation amid you and a animal secretary.
Also, the bulk of this account ability be $5.00 as compared to how abundant added money your aggregation would lose by accepting a business buyer or animal abettor accomplish the aforementioned task.
The additional assignment that a business should outsource is bookkeeping. Unless your aggregation is an accounting aggregation there is no acumen for a business buyer to allot the ample bulk of time that is appropriate to accord with itemizing the circadian affairs of a business.
A business can calmly go online and acquisition bookkeepers aural your breadth that can accomplish the accounting functions that you charge at aggressive costs. Addition accounting outsourcing advantage is the use of computer software programs that are commutual with a apprenticed bookkeeper who will accomplish your circadian transactional functions and any added banking tasks bare to advice a business buyer accumulate clue of their assets and bulk expenditures.
Web Work
The third assignment a aggregation should outsource is the architecture of their internet web page, amusing media page and blog.
In today's business apple these three business apparatus are capital to the afterimage of a business. However, the conception and aliment of a web page, a amusing media page such as Facebook and a blog will yield abounding hours out of a business owner's plan day.
These activities can be outsourced to individuals who are experts in the use of anniversary of these business business accoutrement and they can and will actualize the appropriate business pages in a faster, added able and able address than the baby business buyer who will do aggregate but in the action becomes an able at nothing.
Whether it is a academy apprentice or a freelance web page designer, there are an absurd amount of individuals who can accomplish these tasks for a baby or average sized business at a basal cost. A business buyer who pays an alfresco architect to actualize their aggregation web page, a Facebook page and a blog will save the a lot of admired ability a business buyer has, their time and aswell money.
Instead of a business buyer demography time abroad from award new audience to actualize these business apparatus and acquirements how to do so in the action a business buyer will be able to focus on breeding new business that can advice their revenues and advance their aggressive business position in the marketplace.

M'Shoogy's Famous Emergency Animal Rescue |
My name is Jackson and I am a basset-shepherd mix. I was dropped off at M'Shoogy's because I had heartworms and my family couldn't afford to give me medication. Thank goodness for me. Now, I am healthy and happy and I'm ready to go to another family. Small children and I don't get along so I can only go home with you if you don't have any small children. (Update: Jackson was adopted in June 2005 but was returned because the other dogs in the household wouldn't accept him. How traumatic this must have been for him! Please help us find him a forever home!) |

Warning: There is mild language in this video
Just like Isaac Hempstead-Wright, "Game of Thrones" star Natalia Tena got to work with two new actors in Season 3 of the HBO fantasy series: Thomas Brodie Sangster and Ellie Kendrick. Their characters, Jojen and Meera, have a big role to play in Osha and Bran's upcoming storyline, though Tena teased that the two newcomers meet up with Osha's group under strange circumstances.
"They were stalking us. That's weird. They should be at school, do you know what I mean? What are they doing in the woods?" she joked to Zap2it on the "Game of Thrones Season 3 red carpet. "I'm very excited about the scenes that we've done [with Sangster and Kendrick]. There's a scene involving a rabbit — lots of rabbits — that I'm very excited about how that's going to look. I couldn't really look at a rabbit in the same way for about a month. You'll understand. When you see it, you will understand the weird rabbit boy."
Osha became the protector of Bran and Rickon Stark at the end of Season 2, and now she, the two Stark heirs and Hodor are on the run from the forces trying to capture and kill them. Tena teased that Osha's new role as their mother figure reveals some new elements of her personality.
"I think her mothering instinct is coming out. Her ovaries are like — she's feeling the love for these kids," Tena said. "If you read the books, they say that the Wildlings are very, very, very close to their children compared to actually the Southerners. So I think that's what's happening. I think she's becoming very motherly. She loves these kids a lot, which is interesting. She tried to kill them at the beginning."
Tena is also a big fan of George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, and she said that she hopes things go well for Osha in the future books.
"I've read all of them. I can't wait for the next one. I want [Martin] to finish it now, I want it to be out now," she lamented. "I told him last night. I hugged a lot, I told him, 'Please. And also can you make me queen of everything, obviously.'"
Martin told Zap2it that he's making steady project on book 6, "The Winds of Winter," so maybe Tena — and all you other "Game of Thrones" fans out there — won't have that long to wait.
"Game of Thrones" returns to HBO on March 31 at 9 p.m. ET.

Animal adventure in Bolton, MA
Absolutely The best, A must to go - you can really touch all these exotic animals.
People there are great, too
Go with kids, adults will enjoy it too.Animal Adventures is Great!!!!!
My wife and I were looking for something different to do with our 2 and 8 year old kids. We spent about 2 hours at their facility. While the facilily was not elaborate, they had an amazing array of animals. Due to the fact it was not crowded, we had a private guide who educated us about the animials. He took most of the animals out for us to pet. He was very informative and so nice to my kids. I would definately take your family to this wonderful establishment Birthday Party Entertainment
We hired this company to bring animals to my daughter's 8th birthday party. She likes all animals, but particularly furry ones, so I requested mammals only. What a hit! There was an incredible variety, from the common, but still fun (ferret, GIANT bunny, skunk) to the more exotic (hedgehog, flying squirrel, chinchilla), plus they threw in the baby alligator for good measure. At least 10 animals total. The presenter had many interesting tidbits to tell about each animal and let the kids touch and occasionally even hold them. We all had a great time, and while it's certainly not an inexpensive choice, it's one I'd highly recommend. If we lived closer to Bolton, I would have taken the kids to their facility instead, as there are many more animals to see and it's less $$. But this was a great option.Related Links | Top |

When an aristocratic young man of noble birth is compelled to look into one of his father's past romantic entanglements, he is led to a Pigalle nightclub where act after act is performed with the intent of splintering bourgeois sexual morés into humorous pieces. These entertainers, as well as an English-speaking woman and her daughter Clementine (named after the heroine in the American folk song?) are characters whose antics paint mainstream morals with a very broad and fuzzy brush. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Evening, Great day on the water with a bit of leftover roll from Leslie but most of the sea had subsided by late afternoon. Lots of mackeral around with gannets diving and porpoise getting their fill with reports of a stray school of bluefish here and there. On land we have a lot of hummingbirds topping off their tanks before they head south. Hard to imagine how many times their wings will beat from here to wherever they end up for the winter. Our Emily has her reservations for the NL ferry next week. Good thing she wasn't going this week as it may have been a rough ride. I see that the crossing was cancelled for 2 days due to Leslie. If you wayward wanderers end up in this part of the world we will be around all weekend. Enjoy yourselves, David |

Filed under Managing the Workplace. Fact checked on January 14, 2014.
Article Tools
If an employer chooses to offer health care benefits to employees, decisions will have to be made regarding which benefits should be offered and who will be covered in compliance with applicable federal and state laws.
Making the decision to offer health care as an employee benefit means making a series of decisions that require careful thought. While making a choice as to what kind of plan to offer is necessary, employers must also consider the following:
You will likely find that the differences between the health plan one employer offers and the health plan another employer offers are in the levels of reimbursement they offer than in the types of care that they cover. For example, if you look at ten different employer plans from different parts of the country, they'll all cover surgery on an inpatient basis, but some may have 80 percent reimbursement above a $500 deductible, others may reimburse at 90 percent if a network provider is used and 70 percent if not, and still others may reimburse at 100 percent if the surgery is performed on an outpatient basis.
Health care reform. The enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and related legislation in 2010 heavily regulates the insurance industry, instituting benefit and coverage mandates. Except for grandfathered plans, it mandates that by 2014, all qualified health benefit plans offer at least an "essential health benefits package" as defined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The law prohibits insurance companies from:
The expenses that you will typically find covered by health care plans include:
Just like what's included, common exclusions that you'll find in policies are:
In addition, federal law (under health care reform) and most states' laws require insurance companies to include coverage for mental health and substance abuse.
State laws that tell insurers what health coverage they have to offer are called state mandates. Some common examples include coverage for mammograms, alcohol and substance abuse, infant care, home health care, and infertility treatment.
Consult our state map to find out which coverages your state requires be included in a standard policy.
The benefit and coverage mandates instituted by the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and related legislation in 2010, may impact these state mandates, as well as exclusions from them.
Several states have enacted small employer market reforms that are designed to enable small employers to obtain health insurance at rates that are lower than rates that have traditionally been available to them. The reforms include laws that guarantee renewals; that limit the extent to which your group's health status can be used to set rates; that provide basic, low-cost policies that do not include costly benefits that are mandated for standard policies; and that require insurers to make coverage available to you regardless of your employees' health condition. No two states have the same set of reforms. An insurance agent can give you more information about the specifics in your state.
In the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Congress extended some of these state reforms to the federal level. As of June 30, 1997, insurers that offer health plans in the small business market cannot exclude any small business from coverage.
If insurers choose to offer plans in the small business market, they must offer the plans to all small businesses in that market. Thus, for example, an insurer cannot choose to drop your coverage because one of your employees develops a heart condition. To gain the protection of these federal rules, though, you must have at least two employees.
The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and related legislation in 2010, may impact the particulars of these small employer market reforms.
The most important thing to remember regarding health care benefit coverage is that once you have established your rules, you must apply them consistently.
Provisions of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and related legislation in 2010 affect whom must be covered by health benefits. For example, generally, qualifying children under the age of 26 may not be dropped from their parents' insurance coverage.
Most employers impose a requirement that says that an employee must be actively at work in order to be eligible for coverage. You must be careful when defining the term actively at work, however.
Actively at work generally means active full-time performance of all customary duties of the employee's occupation at the company or other location of business to which the company's business requires the employee to travel. In this context, a full-time employee is regularly scheduled to work at least 40 hours per week, 52 weeks a year.
An employee does not necessarily have to be physically at work in order to be considered to be actively at work, as it is defined for purposes of health plan eligibility. Otherwise, employees who go on vacation would risk losing their health plan.
Must you cover part-time workers? Generally, you don't have to, though you may if you wish. One thing you should remember is that if you don't set any minimum hours per week or per year that employees have to complete to remain eligible for health benefits, you cannot terminate their coverage when, for example, they go on a disability leave. To avoid that problem, some employers who want part-timers to participate will establish a rule that says that any employee who works, for example, at least 30 hours per week is eligible to participate in the health plan. You should discuss your alternatives with your health insurance provider.
Do you have to offer coverage to spouses or dependents of workers? In short, no. If you do, you should clearly define who is a dependent. However, if you are a "large employer" under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, dependents (which does not include spouses) must be offered qualifying health care benefits in order for you to be in compliance with the employer shared responsibility mandate.
May you offer benefits to unmarried domestic partners? You may, of course, but if you do, you should be aware that the fair market value of the insurance paid may be taxable to your employee under federal law. Also, it can be very difficult to define who is a domestic partner — for example, how long must the relationship have lasted? State law may also require that domestic partners be offered coverage. If you're interested, talk to your insurance company about it.
Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and related legislation, for plan years beginning in 2014, generally, a waiting period may not be longer than 90 days. Other common time limits are:
Which period should you choose? There are several factors that come into play in making your decision which eligibility period to choose. They are:
Some employers place maximum and minimum age limits on health plan eligibility in order to keep costs down. This decision may well be driven by your health insurance company. Talk to them about whether they use maximums or minimums.
As for the minimum age, there are no laws telling you what you have to do. Many employers don't have a minimum age; many of those that do choose age 18.
Age maximums are a little trickier. Generally, an employer that places age maximums on employees runs the risk of violating the age discrimination laws. Of course, if you have fewer than 20 employees, the federal age discrimination laws do not apply to you (although state anti-discrimination laws might). As a consequence, if you have fewer than 20 employees, you may not have to offer employees who work past age 65 coverage on the same basis as other employees.
Age maximums are much more common in the area of employees' dependents. However, effective September 23, 2010, under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and related legislation, if your plan covers children you are prohibited from dropping children from their parents' insurance plans before the age of 26. There is a temporary exception for grandfathered group plans until 2014 if the young adult is eligible for group coverage outside his or her parents' plan.
For more information on the Affordable Care Act and eligibility requirements, visit the government's healthcare information website.
Many health plans do require that those employees eligible for Medicare (i.e., age 65 or over) must take advantage of it.
Group health plans with at least two participants on the first day of the plan year who are current employees are covered by the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which became effective in 1997.
HIPPA sets the maximum number of months that a group health plan may exclude coverage for preexisting conditions at 12 months, or at 18 months for late enrollees. Late enrollees are participants or beneficiaries who enroll in the plan other than the first period when eligible or under a special enrollment period.
Health care reform. The enactment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and related legislation in 2010 prohibits insurance companies from denying coverage or refusing to renew coverage because of certain conditions. The implementation of this particular provision begins in July 2010 and fully takes effect in 2014, when all discrimination based on pre-existing conditions is prohibited.
A preexisting exclusion is permissible only if it concerns a physical or mental condition for which medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment was recommended or received within six months of the date of enrollment in the new plan. Conditions that have not been diagnosed or treated within the six-month period are not subject to any coverage exclusion. Genetic status is not an excludable condition, unless diagnosis or treatment was rendered within the six-month period.
Reducing the exclusionary period. The plan's preexisting condition exclusionary period is reduced, month for month, by the length of the employee's prior coverage for medical care under a wide variety of health plans, including group health plans, individual policies, HMOs, Medicare and other governmental medical care programs. Prior coverage reduces the time of the plan's exclusionary period, unless there has been a break in the coverage of more than 63 days.
For example, it is possible for employees and their dependents with 12 months of coverage with one employer to move to a new employer with new coverage without being subject to the new employer's preexisting condition exclusion. Pregnancy may not be excluded, however, regardless of a break in coverage.
Waiting periods and affiliation periods are not counted as breaks in coverage. When such a break has occurred, only the coverage after the break may be credited.
Certification of coverage. Employers must provide employees with a written certification of coverage showing the employee's creditable coverage when any of the following occur:
To the extent that medical care under a group health plan consists of health insurance coverage offered in connection with the plan, the plan will satisfy the certification requirement if the issuer provides the certification.
Enrollment periods. Employees must enroll in an employer's group health plan at the first opportunity to take advantage of the 12-month preexisting condition exclusion period. Otherwise, the 18-month period for late enrollees may apply.
When an otherwise eligible employee declines coverage because he or she has other coverage available, perhaps as a dependent on a spouse's plan, and that coverage was lost, the employee must be given 30 days after the loss of coverage to enroll, upon request.
In order for this special enrollment period to apply, the prior coverage must have been:
When the group health plan covers dependents, and an eligible employee acquires a dependent through marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, enrollment must be provided, measured 30 days from the date dependent coverage is made available or the date of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption. Coverage will be effective, without waiting periods, on the date of birth, adoption or placement for adoption. In the case of marriage, not later than the first day of the first month beginning after the date the completed request for enrollment is received.

Snag an Apple iPhone 6 at Walmart for $70 off the $199 retail price.
The unadvertised price of $129 for a new 16 GB model is available only in stores that sell cell phones (not all do). (Same for Samsung Galaxy S5 for $79).
You must eligible for an upgrade and sign a new 2-year contract with AT&T Verizon or Sprint to get the deal.
If you're out of contract and switch to Verizon, here's a deal scenario that may get you the iPhone for free with a new charger kit and more than $60 to spare, too.
Try this semi-complicated deal scenario at Best Buy:
Go to Best Buy customer service and ask for a Walmart price match. The store will have to call Walmart to verify the unadvertised price (per its policy) and match the iPhone 6 at $129.
New Verizon Edge customers get a free $150 Best Buy gift card. Also, buy the phone online and ship to store and score a get a free $39.99 Belkin charger set.
Want the Android? Get Best Buy to price match the Samsung GS5 at Walmart's $79 price. (Best Buy has that phone on sale for $99.99 this week.)
Can't beat that!

Top Banana: A steaming dish of mango prawns in a silken sweet-and-sour sauce exemplifies the tropical flair of Banana Leaf, as served by waiter Oliver Chen.
Malaysian Equation
Milpitas' Banana Leaf strikes the perfect balance in Southeast Asian cuisine
By Joseph Izzo Jr.
I MUST CONFESS THAT, until a few days ago, I'd never been to a Malaysian restaurant. I had sampled dishes from that part of the world, but never in a place that labeled its food Malaysian above all else.
When I first heard about the opening of Banana Leaf--over a year ago now--I was immediately excited about trying something special, something ethnic--spicy hot and minty cool--with lots of tropical fruit and big flavors. I made tentative plans to go with friends but, as often happens, things fell through and we never made it.
So when my editor mentioned Banana Leaf restaurant recently, I didn't hesitate. Perhaps it was a bad night on the freeway, but it turned out to be a bit of an ordeal traveling there. The place was hard to get to and once in the vicinity, even harder to find. We fought knots of unruly traffic along the way and got lost once, forcing us to backtrack. Finally, we found this little restaurant amid a sprawling shopping center located on the property known as McCarthy Ranch, in Milpitas. Once inside, the world behind us melted away and all preconceived notions of big-mall dining were inexorably reconfigured.
A charming, exotic interior unfolds, in which diners can almost feel the balmy Malaysian air and smell the moist earth after monsoon rains. Tropical plants, gently rotating fans and a display of beautiful handmade pottery further help to create a Southeast Asian environment. Tables are elegantly appointed and placed to create a sense of luxurious comfort below deep blue warehouse ceilings, surrounded by golden yellow walls dotted with fetching Malaysian watercolors.
The kitchen, too, is a compelling space--a wide-open affair that connects to the dining room like a theater for the senses. It was a pleasure watching the cooks at work, creating dishes and turning them out along a wide counter that runs nearly the length of the dining room. At one point, I actually stood up to watch one of the chefs make our dessert crepe, as he spread the dough and plied it skillfully over the hot oiled griddle.
But frankly, after tasting the food at Banana Leaf, everything else seemed beside the point. Quite simply: It is some of the best I've had in a Southeast Asian restaurant. Each dish held its place as a work of culinary art, bursting with color and flavor, aroma and spice, with sauces that were masterfully crafted and reduced to glossy consistencies. For those of you who like Thai and Vietnamese food, you will find many similarities in Malaysian cooking. Especially in the way that improbable amalgams of hot and cold are effortlessly achieved. Indian and Chinese influences are also evident in just about everything on the menu.
We opened with a plate of Gado-Gado ($5.95) that included a delicious fried prawn cake, crispy tofu chunks and symmetrically cut vegetables all drizzled with a spicy peanut sauce that brought conflicting flavors into unity.
Quickly thereafter came a round of hot and sour oxtail soup ($6.95 small; $9.95 large) ladled into bowls by our waiter. In a clean, simple broth were pieces of alternately meaty and gristly oxtail, tomatoes, straw mushrooms and lemon grass, and of course, hot chile pepper, which crept upon the palate not with fury--as some can do--but with the stealth of a panther. A cold bottle of Tiger Beer from Singapore quelled the subtle stinging that eventually spread across my lips.
Before the third wisp of steam could rise from our soup bowls, Rendang Beef ($8.50) hit the table in a cloud of fragrance that pulled our heads in yet another direction. In this Malay specialty, nuggets of beef are simmered to tenderness in a pungent gravy full of curry, hot pepper and coconut milk and served on a bed of the restautant's namesake, banana leaves.
After that, all hell broke loose. The other dishes we'd ordered began to arrive, not one by one as we had hoped, but in quick, merciless succession. Before we had a chance to slow things down, all our dishes had arrived--the Singaporean hot pepper crab ($23.95 each), Mango Chicken ($8.95), Chili Prawns ($10.95), Asam Asparagus ($8.95) and bowls of coconut rice.
At one point, the table was so cluttered with bowls and plates, arms and elbows, we felt like the Marx Brothers at their wackiest. If leisure pacing is what you want, make sure you tell your waiter in advance.
In spite of this everything was delicious, especially the whole Dungeness crab full of sweet succulent meat smothered with a peppery sauce--so good we licked the shells and our fingers over and over again. The most beautiful presentation was the mango chicken, which combined morsels of breast meat, red and green peppers, coriander and mango in a spicy sweet and sour that was so smooth it reminded me of silk.
By the time we got to dessert there was room on the table--thank God--for a warm bowl of black rice with coconut milk and a made-to-order crepe filled with chopped peanuts and topped with heavy cream--both native specialties and both very good.
Whatever you do, don't pass this place up. As our waiter pointed out, you can find plenty of Malaysian restaurants in Manhattan, but they're not too common in these parts. So get there; there's no excuse not to. Banana Leaf is a gem.
