Do you want to know the sign of a bad sweet tooth? It's when you already have a fresh batch of cupcakes in the kitchen and you decide to make cookies too. An even greater indication is when your pantry isn't properly stocked and you desperately improvise to make baking the cookies possible. That happened to me today. I woke up feeling a bit under the weather and still found the energy to bake. I guess cookies are the true best medicine? Yes, I think that's what researchers are saying nowadays…
Onto those cookies! My pantry really was lacking in the ingredient department. I had plenty of sugar (of course), but hardly any flour, cocoa powder, or vanilla. Originally I wanted to make ginger cookies, but without ginger, that doesn't work very well. So, chocolate cookies seemed fitting for my needs. These particular cookies use an unusual ingredient: balsamic vinegar (which, incidentally, I spilled all over the floor). I was hoping it would provide richness and a bit of ooomph, but I can't really notice it in the baked cookies. Maybe more sophisticated palettes will detect it?
December Photo Project 2012: Day #13
A quick note about these cookies: they are sweet. I consider these a great indulgence. You can reduce the granulated sugar by a 1/4 cup if you prefer, but I like how they turned out. They would be lovely with your favorite vanilla ice cream! Also, this recipe would most likely work with all-purpose flour, all whole wheat pastry flour, or a combination of both. I was using up the last of a few different varieties of flour.
Double Chocolate Balsamic Cookies
Makes about 1 dozen cookies
1/3 cup canola oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground flax seeds mixed with 2 tablespoons warm water
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chocolate chips (please use organic/Fair Trade, here's why)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar for sprinkling on top, optional
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a bowl, vigorously whisk together oil and first two measures of sugar. Add in balsamic vinegar, vanilla, and flax mixture. Whisk until ingredients are well combined and smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together flours, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and mix well. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per cookie) onto a baking sheet. You can use a cookie scoop if you prefer – I like them because they make uniform, round, pretty cookies. People will be amazed at their beauty!
5. Put the last measure of sugar onto a plate. Take a ball of dough, gently press the top into the sugar mixture, and place it back on the cookie sheet. Make sure the cookies are flattened slightly. They will spread while baking, but the extra little push at the beginning helps.
6. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until cookies have flattened and cracked across the tops. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Can you imagine the ire of Congress and the U.S. taxpayer if American farmers received subsidies for insurance, a subsidy for the county where the farm was located, a subsidy for raising grain, a subsidy for machinery, a subsidy for using better seed, all on top of another payment for producing grain? There are some farmers who benefit from all of that largess from the public, via the government. But don't expect the government to shutdown because the budget is not balanced.
With all the furor over a crop insurance program for farmers and a desire to cut back the food stamp program in the U.S., all of those above-mentioned subsidies are being provided to farmers in China, which spent $75 billion in 2012, or 11% of the value of the total farm production in China to support agriculture. Those eye-opening facts are from the October issue of Amber Waves, from the USDA's Economics Research Service.
The ironic part of the financial support program benefitting Chinese farmers is their inability to increase production, and it has lead to massive imports of corn, soybeans, and frozen meats from the U.S. USDA economist Fred Gale reports, "Much of the funding was allocated for measures that make little immediate contribution to incomes of farmers, including construction of irrigation systems, storage of commodity reserves, programs to create model farming districts, and loans for nonfarm agribusinesses. The fastest growing component of farm payments was a general input subsidy to grain producers that was tied to annual increases in fertilizer and fuel prices. In 2012, direct payments for rice and wheat producers were estimated at $100 or more per acre in many localities."
Another irony is the fact the subsidies have not kept pace with the cost of production and while agricultural income in China is tightly pinched, off-farm income has risen. Many farmers are opting for urban jobs, saying they have had all the fun on the farm they can stand. In an effort to stem the tide of farm to city migration, Chinese officials began higher subsidies for agricultural production. The result is corn being supported at $9 per bushel and soybeans supported about $20 per bushel. Since Chinese farmers cannot produce enough, other farmers around the world, including those in the U.S. are happy to export grain to Chinese ports. While U.S. farmers are not getting $9 and $20 for their corn and beans being sent to China, the Chinese demand for grain has provided a new outlet and reduced the carryover by nearly a billion bushels for each.

Online certification programs cover the widest range of any program in education. An online certification can be suitable for the vocational student interested in a career path with minimum schooling and practical applications. It also can be appropriate for the post graduate student who wants to show competency within a field or needs to meet state requirements. An example of this might be the student with a Bachelor in Education who must take a teaching certificate program before actively engaging in teaching.
The requirements for each type of certification program vary with the field and the level of certification. For some students, the certification program might be the entire educational experience, as in a student enrolled in a certified nursing aide program or technical or vocational study program. For other students it might be the culmination of education as in the Teacher seeking a teaching certification, or the Master of Business Administration graduate seeking a certificate in Business Management.
In general a certificate program will last no longer than one year. In some cases it might last only 6 weeks. The individual requirements for each discipline vary widely.
The earning power of different types of degrees varies widely. There is no price that can be assessed as every educational level will require different types of certification programs.
With a vocational level the certification program graduate can earn from $25,000 per year and up.
With the undergraduate level and post graduate level successful online certification degree student earn $40,000 a year and up.
In some cases such as in the teacher a certification is required before beginning employment.
In still others the current trend is toward a Six Sigma certification that indicates the mastery of a certain school of thought and approach to management and cost cutting. Certifications like these may influence an employer in favor of a certain individual over many other equally qualified candidates.
Almost every discipline will have a tremendous variety of certification programs at many levels to prove mastery of a particular specialization within that field. Certification within fields can significantly improve job prospects for the graduate.
Types of Online Certificate Degrees
Types of online certificate degrees may be generally divided into 2 areas.
Online Certificate Programs Available
The number of certificate programs available is vast and there is a list provided below to allow you to choose from the vocational or professional certification program that suits your needs. Just click on the one that interests you.

It's not the long hours or the sheer breadth of the workload that makes things tough for the soigneurs on the BMC Racing Team. "The hardest part is the traveling," says Chief Soigneur Freddy Viaene.
'Love Our Jobs'
Viaene has been providing care to professional cyclists in the peloton the past 29 years. It's a labor of love. "We give the guys massages and look after their every need – which means working long days," Viane said. "But ll of us do this with a great heart because we love our jobs. It's our life." But the logistics of getting from race to race or stage to stage is difficult. This week it was driving equipment and personnel from the BMC Racing Team's service course in Belgium to a hotel in Spain. For Viaene and his crew, that meant 25 hours of treacherous driving on snow-packed roads.
Long Days
Managing the workload at the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia is often easier than the smaller, one-week races, Viaene said. "At the Grand Tours, we are well prepared with more staff to give the best service to the guys," he said. "But at races like the Tour de Suisse or the Tour of Poland, there are late finishes and sometimes long transfers to the hotel. We arrive around eight o'clock at the hotel, then try to give the guys a good massage before dinner, then it's time to do laundry. So you're going to bed late at night and getting up very early the next morning."
Challenge of Paris-Roubaix
Of all the races he has worked, Viaene said Paris-Roubaix remains his favorite. "It's one of the nicest races, but it's also one of the most extreme for the riders and for the soigneurs," he said. "Since the cars are never able to go up to the guys, we try to give them the best service – providing extra feed zones, getting them warm clothing or an extra rain jacket or handing up bottles and First Endurance along the course."

The Sant'Angelo at OPUS Bar
It may be winter, but that doesn't mean chilled treats should be ignored. Inspired by a Roman sweet sold by street vendors, OPUS Bar's Sant'Angelo is bartender Martin Corriveau's newest cocktail on the December menu.
A fragrant balance of Amaro Averna, Marsala, Tamarind Syrup, and Grappa trickle through hand-crushed ice to produce a festive and richly coloured beverage. The flavourful drink writes love notes of orange, rose, chocolate, and raisin on the palette as it journeys through the mouth.
That night, I dreamed of the cobbled streets of Rome.
~ Sandra O'Connell, OPUS Insider

Reverend Dave Roberts, who's been Miley Cyrus's pastor since she moved to L.A. for Hannah Montana in 2005, says he's been peppered with nasty messages since she decided to spice up her image. He says, "We've gotten hate mail, because that's how people are. My thought on that is it's easy to criticize until you've lived in the pressure of it. They write to me and say, 'You should have taught her better.' It's silly. I usually write them back to say, 'You're talking about a young girl -- maybe your prayer and support would be more valuable then your critique."
According to sources, Justin Bieber recently dropped into a Houston gentleman's club called V-Live for some stimulation, and ended up stimulating the local economy to the tune of 10 grand. Diamond, the dancer who spent the most time with the Bieb, says, "I walked away with $7000, and a few other girls split the rest. He grabbed my butt and asked me if it was real. He smiled when I said yes." Though some of Justin's clubbing has drawn scrutiny, this visit was kosher -- V-Live is an 18-and-over place that doesn't serve any alcohol because local laws say strip clubs can't sell the hard stuff.
Guy Fieri got into a knock-down, drag-out fight- with his hairdresser. It all went down on Saturday after a flight to San Francisco International. Video obtained by TMZ shows Guy and Ariel Ramirez going at it through the open door of an SUV. There are punches, kicks and a bunch of swear words. Eventually, Guy's manager got between them and put Ramirez into a cab. Apparently the two of them had been drinking on the flight, and the scuffle was pretty much about nothing. Guy's rep says they've kissed and made up.
Lindsay Lohan may not have learned her lesson after all -- according to reports that she's returned to her hard-partying ways. Sources say that LiLo has been on a tear lately, spending three wild nights on the town in the past 10 days. While her reps insist Linds is clean and sober despite photos of her apparently reaching for alcoholic beverages, witnesses say otherwise. They count two blow-outs in the Big Apple and one in L.A. One source said, "She was definitely drinking alcohol. She got increasingly sloppy as the hours went on. At one point, Lindsay was literally hanging onto a couple of her friends, like they were holding her up."

Jockey Quotes
RAFAEL BEJARANO, TUSCAN EVENING, Winner: "The last two or three times she was on the lead and I didn't want to change her style too much. She broke really good and I just tried to let her get comfortable. The whole trip she was trying to jump shadows. I think she got a little scared seeing something on the ground. I thought she had something left at the end.
Trainer Quotes
DAN WARD (ASST. TO JERRY HOLLENDORFER) TUSCAN EVENING, Winner: "We actually thought there would be some other speed in the race and maybe today we would be off the pace, but there was nobody that could run with her the first part. In Europe she's come off the pace and really had that burst turning into the stretch. The Royal Heroine is next. We figured if we could run good in this race we would be able to run in the Royal Heroine. It was a big test. If we couldn't run with these then we couldn't run in that race."
NOTE: Tuscan Evening set a stakes record of 1:33.78 for one mile.

Lincoln, Neb. - University of Nebraska-Lincoln head coach Chuck Chmelka announced the addition of two all around recruits for the 2014 season. Travis Gollott and Antonio Castro look to add immediate impacts on a handful of events during their freshman campaigns, filling the shoes of departing seniors Wyatt Baier and Gabriel Sanchez.
"We are very excited to get two quality all arounders in Travis and Antonio," said Chmelka. "Both will contribute to our team immediately. They excel in the classroom and are great people."
Travis Gollott
A Pleasanton, Calif., native, Gollott finished eighth in floor exercise in the 16-to-18-year-old division at the 2012 US Visa Championships. He was the only gymnast to qualify for finals in all events at the 2011 Region 1 Finals and claimed the all-around championship as well as four individual event titles (floor, rings, parallel bars and high bar). The 2011 and 2012 Junior National competitor is excited to join the Huskers.
"I am now part of the Cornhusker family and couldn't be happier," said Gollott.

I got this order in from South shore Archery supply. Jerry is a great guy and I've heard great things about his SSAS Glue. It costs 2-3 times less than the competitions. You don't pay for the advertising on this glue. I bought some AAE hunter vanes too to try out. I find AAE vanes easier to work with and the bases seem to be user friendly.
I've been using a razor blade for many years to remove wraps and fletching. It was very time consuming. Not any more. This Stripper tool from Bohning works great and it doesn't cost a lot. I wished I bought this a long time ago. If your gonna do your own fletching I recommend that you buy a tool like this to cut down on the elbow grease. It took me about 30 seconds to strip some vanes off with no wraps. It too me a bit longer to strip vanes off with wraps, maybe 1 1/2 minutes. I still need to remove the wrap adhesive. It usually took me a lot of time peeling the stuff off even after I placed the wraps in hot water. I have about 2 dozen good arrows with old, or damaged vanes or vanes I don't like that I will be stripping. This tool is worth the money.
Three arrows in the pic. Top is the one with some Fusion vanes that I'm not too excited about.
The second arrows had a wrap and fusion vanes on it. The tool easily removed both without gouging the carbon.
The bottom arrow had some 2 inch vanes on it and came off easily.

HELL -- So, my Doc tells me she thinks I have ulcerative colitis this morning. Oh happy day, NOT! Really, it came as no surprise. UC is not a pleasant illness (not that any illness is), but imagine bleeding from your rectum daily in addition to severe stomach cramping, diarrhea, bloating, and gas, not to mention the interruption of your daily life.
Anywho, I call BCBS to get my CT scan and colonoscopy preauthorized and the jerks have the nerve to ask me why am I having the procedure performed! "Oh gee, I thought I would stick a tube up my a$$ just for kicks and giggles." It's because my Dr. ordered it, you idiots! Because I crap myself day and night, if you really must know.
Then, after a day of being stuck with needles 1,001 times (dehydrated from constant diarrhea) I drag myself to the pharmacy to get my medicine. Of course, I call my insurance company before I drop off the script to make sure they will pay for the meds and am quoted a price. I even asked the rude man to repeat himself (these people act like they are doing me a favor every time they call). It's expensive, but at least I know in advance. There will be no surprises at the pharmacy. WRONG!!!!!!!
I am given an incorrect quote. Now, the jerks want to know what they can do to make it right. How about give me my frickin medicine at the price you quoted me, morons! The representative had the nerve to tell me that since I had a 5 day supply that I would be fine until they get the problem resolved. Well, just in case you missed a little important factoid about this month, Christmas is in one week. I'd rather not wake up in the morning doubled over in pain, bleeding from my butt, covered in my own poo. I'd like to have enough medicine to last me until the day after Christmas so my poor children do not have to deal with their mother pooping herself under the tree.
This is just one small issue I have had with BCBS. Can you hear the anger? I'm sure this will be the first of many more complaints to come since I will be in the hospital for a CT scan in two days followed by the old tube up the butt procedure. Great, can't wait.

It is obvious that you are angry.
But they kind of have to ask what the procedure is for before they can authorize a CT scan and/or a colonscopy. Those are expensive procedures and they can't just say "OK, sure" when someone says they want one without some sort of medical necessity.
spiderman2 on 12/17/2009:
I understand your frustration and your condition as I suffer from Crohns disease which is quite similar. I am going to direct you to the CCFA.org. where you can get some good information. Also, you should ask your gastroenterologist if there are any support groups in your area to help you deal with this disease. Please believe me that it will get better once things are under control. The times leading up to my diagnosis and until I found meds that worked for me were rough, but it does and can get better once they figure out what you are dealing with. Good luck to you.

Patient Dies While Waiting on Pending Litigation

TULSA, OKLAHOMA -- This is happening EVERYWHERE. Blue Cross and Blue Shield deny benefits to people who pay in good faith when they know that the cost of the litigation + the time spent waiting = dead patient before payout. RUNAWAY CORPORATE GREED! THEIR BLOOD IS ON YOUR HANDS BCBS.

Did someone actually die, or are you just saying that to get a point across?
clutzycook on 12/04/2011:
This isn't limited to BCBS. Pretty much all insurance companies give patients the run around. Unfortunately your post is too vague for me to comment further, but if it is related to a specific case, you might look into reporting BCBS to your state's insurance commission.
trmn8r on 12/04/2011:
Do you have a specific experience? This is a very general statement, and I personally haven't heard about this. Maybe the media is keeping it quiet.
JayByJay on 12/04/2011:
Is that what disgusted healthcare looks like?
Skye on 12/04/2011:
Sadly Clutzy is correct. It's all of them, and it all comes down to one thing, holding on to as much money as possible for themselves, and spending as little as possible on the people who need procedures.
Again, it's all about the "almighty" dollar.
CowboyFan on 12/05/2011:
From what I read, too often these examples are people who want medical services which are deemed experimental or cutting edge. Obviously, insurance companies are not going to pay for services that may or may not work but which are extremely expensive because of their new nature. While it is sad that people die from their illnesses, if such experimental services were routinely provided, the cost of health insurance would be astronomical so that other people would not have access to more normal care that would save their lives. Nothing prevents the patient who want experimental medical services from paying for these services themselves.
k on 01/27/2012:
yup.. they are so horrible.. submitted the claim for 6 month. all rep tried so hard never received.. and if you call and check for the status.. take longer because you call and check with them to be bothered.
reps are so bossy they tried to tell you what to do.. which is tried not to claim to be submitted.and make it to denied. so you won't get your benefit worth.

The Worst-- Without A Doubt.
Posted by
PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND -- When I got hired at my current job, I was pleased to find out that Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island allows girlfriends/boyfriends/common law spouses to receive healthcare coverage through someone else. My girlfriend has been without insurance for far too long, and this looked like the perfect opportunity to finally get her some. And she needs it, too-- she's got varying medical conditions that are far too expensive to be paid for without insurance. Nothing life threatening, mind you-- but they're conditions nonetheless.
When a year passes, that's when you're allowed to put a spouse/significant other on your insurance as a "domestic partener." Great. BCBSRI mailed me a list of documents they'd need to prove that we weren't trying to screw them over (as an aside, this took nearly a month to arrive in my mailbox, despite the fact that they're about 4 miles from my house). The list had 6 or 8 items on it, only two of which were required for proof. No problem. I picked the "prove you've been living together for over a year" and "get a notarized relationship agreement" options. I mailed them a copy of my lease (that she and I are both listed on) as well as a document I wrote up and had notarized, stating that we've been in relationship for the past 36 months. Everything is going fine, and my girlfriend will have insurance within a week or two. Or so I thought.
Two weeks went by and I didn't hear a peep from BCBSRI. I finally realized that something probably got messed up, so I called. They informed me that her coverage was denied. When I asked why, I was told it was because I "didn't supply the sufficient documentation," which, as you know by reading this, is untrue. So I asked what I should do, and they told me to send it all again. So I did.
I call them again, explaining my whole story. I'm now told that what I mailed them wasn't enough. They need something like a joint checking account or joint ownership of a vehicle. I told them that was insane, because the paper I have says "Here's 8 options, PICK TWO." And that's exactly what I did. They ask me to send the stuff again. So I did.
Another week goes by with no notice from them whatsoever, so I call again. This time, the story is different: they claimed that they never got the notarized agreement, but they did have the lease. This is false. They were mailed in the same envelope, so unless some employee lost the paper (which is my guess), they have both documents. The guy asks me if I can fax over the contract again. Once I do that, he'll put in a request to get everything done quickly and he'll be in touch. I faxed over the agreement and never heard from him again.
Yesterday, I called again after I got a letter saying that she was denied coverage. The reason for her denial was that (you guessed it) I provided insufficient documentation. Again, this is entirely untrue. I spoke with a customer service representative and explained the situation for the billionth time, and he said that he'd put a note on it marked "urgent" and he'd call me back in the morning (today). I never got that call. About an hour ago I called again and really gave the guy a hard time-- I need this fixed not now, not yesterday, but THREE MONTHS AGO. "Immediately" doesn't begin to describe how quickly this needs to be done. He said he has no say in the matter, which is true, but he'd put another note on it to get it expedited. He informed me that since she was denied coverage (the reason doesn't matter), I might have to file an appeals claim that could take up to a month to be resolved. I explained to him that an appeal was absolutely not even close to a viable option, and that this has to be fixed NOW. We don't have another month to sit around and wait. He says he's going to have someone call me in the morning, but I refuse to believe that.
The long and short of it is this: BCBSRI is an abysmal company, full of people who A) have minimal-to-no-intelligence, and B) apparently never, ever speak to one another. What they're doing (and continue to do) to my girlfriend and I is unacceptable, and you can bet if I had another insurance option, I'd leave them in a heartbeat.

I wonder if they wanted some sort of official affidavit, not just a notarized note from you. My job also provides benefits to "domestic partners" and they actually give you an affidavit to fill out and have notarized.
Venice09 on 03/07/2012:
If they need specific forms, they should supply them instead of rejecting what is submitted. It sounds more like they don't know what they're doing or are looking for reasons not to approve coverage.
Just get married. That will solve everything. ;)
BigAl on 03/07/2012:
The reason they are not approving the insurance is because she is not healthy. They will continue to stall and delay as long as they can. People have medical reports just like credit reports. I would bet my bottom dollar that if she had a clean medical report the info you sent would have been sufficient. Don't let these turds get the best of you.
traceylynn on 03/07/2012:
My job provides coverage to "domestic partners"......which they consider to be same sex partners who cannot legally marry in my state. Coverage between boyfriends and girlfriends is not allowed, if you are in a heterosexual relationship you have to be married or no dice.
CowboyFan on 03/08/2012:
As I read this, the proof that was sent by OP was inadequate. My parents were on my lease at college, even though I was an adult--they did not live with me. Likewise the "relationship affidavit" should be from a disinterested third person: parents, landlord, priest, not from the boyfriend himself.
From what the op sent, they could be just roommates, since the submission lacks indicies of a true committed relationship, e.g. joint checking, shared vehicle ownership, joint ownership of property, credit purchases made together. An insurance company is going to look closely at such things, especially when it seems the "girlfriend" is in need of expensive treatment.
Venice09 on 03/08/2012:
"The list had 6 or 8 items on it, only two of which were required for proof."
It sounds like the OP followed the instructions. If specific proof was required, it should have been made clear. And if they required special forms or affidavits, those documents should have been provided. This method seems to be designed to either drag out the process or utilize loopholes that result in outright denial.

The epitome of arrogance and evil
Posted by
Jan 25, 2011 I injured my back in a fall at my house and was taken to the ER by EMS. CT done nothing broken was given some meds and told to follow up with my PCP. Started feeling worse and having pain moving down my legs within a week. Went to Walk in at my PCP and they ordered a Stat Same Day MRI the results of which they sent me to a Neurosurgeon for consult due to the issues found on the MRI as well as my symptoms (MRI showed a bulging/herniated disc at L4/L5). I couldn't do PT After 6 additional weeks of trying to hopefully get better nothing was working they scheduled a discogram to examine the Disc structure. The discogram confirmed the suspicions not only was the disc herniated but I had a Grade IV tear in the disc with significant leakage into the canal the MD who did the discogram agreed with my neurosurgeon that due to the damage and the DDD in the disc that fusion was the only sensible option due to likelihood of reinjury or disc space collapse resulting in major issue potentially.. I was 2 weeks from having surgery and then the BCBS of NC brick wall came up. They Denied my surgery.. My Surgeon put in an immediate appeal and he was denied.. all because they said it 'wasn't medically necessary' I went through 1st level internal appeal at BCBS which was a bloody joke. Their supposed internal review physician was a bloody family practice MD, they don't know anything remotely about spinal surgery or surgery in general for that matter so WTF.. DENIED again!!!! This was July.. I had a setback and major pain issues that nearly had me admitted due to exacerbation of pain issues and my pain meds were increased.. OK filed 2nd appeal.. Hearing was Aug 26 (same day as Irene is bout to come barrelling through our fine town). Thought it went well.. Got letter this past Saturday DENIED again Neurosurgeon on appeal says I don't need fusion I need disc resection (oh the moron also asked bout disc replacement but I find it funny because bloody BCBS of NC still think disc replacement is experimental despite the fact that several other BCBS affiliates DO cover it).. My neurosurgeon will not do the disc resection because he doesn't think it'll solve the problem long term and is concerned about I'm sure legitimately being held liable if the surgery fails and I end up worse. I think hes dead on on what needs to be done but once again BCBS thinks they know better. The sad truth is BCBS of NC only cares about one damn thing. Getting my money and not paying out theres despite their responsibility to their members. The less they pay out the bigger the higher up douchebags bonuses are (don't lie we know the truth). IM sick and tired of my life being ruined by these ********. If I could pay fo rmy surgery myself I would and then sue the hell outta them for the cost plus bad faith actions on their part leaving them WIDE OPEN to punatitive damages in the millions potentially.. I can't be the only person fighting with them over this. If you are in my same situation feel free to contact me please

Do you have an insurance commissioner in your state that you might be able to contact?
As for the surgeon being concerned about being held liable, it is likely he would insist you sign a waiver as to any liability - as for whether that would hold up in court - that is another question.
BEJ on 09/06/2011:
Contact the insurance commissioner in your state and file an appeal.

How Messed Up the Entire Medical/drug Industry Is in General and How Stupid Obamacare Is
Posted by
TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN -- Basically my family is pretty healthy and we've always seen naturopathic doctors or treated things ourselves. Which means that we take responsibility for our own health and wellness and take care of ourselves. But then Obamacare came on the scene and we decided to go with health insurance. So because insurance doesn't cover our usual naturopathic doctor, we had to get new doctors and we picked the best ones we could find in our area covered by our insurance. And I suppose for the industry they are doing a good job and being thorough. But every time I interact with drug industry-trained doctors I am frustrated by their limitations. They don't seem to understand health or eating right, or herbal supplements or anything that I regularly turn to for good health. What's more, if I pick up any drugs they suggest and read their labels, I cannot bring myself to take them because the possibility of negative side effects (worse than anything I am suffering) are huge. Basically with how expensive insurance still is and how little use I have for it (insurance doesn't cover useful things like nutrition supplements) and how much I still have to pay before the deductible gets paid off- it just doesn't make any sense financially. If anything catastrophic happened the hospitals in our area let us get on a payment plan with 0% interest. Insurance might be useful if they covered the naturopathic doctor and the nutritional supplements recommended by the ND. A single payer instead of regular insurance would be even better (like the Green Party suggests-the same plan as our good senators and their families get). I have had so many bad reactions to pharmaceutical drugs that I don't dare take them, and herbal supplements work so well for me, that it just doesn't make any sense at all to have insurance or see a regular doctor.

They Just Don't Care

my 2 cents
ILLINOIS -- If anyone is considering BCBS, I would think twice about it. In addition to their increases annually, they also add on additional increase when your Birthday ends with an ) or a 5. In investigating options, I decided on another plan to reduce my monthly premium. When I requested an application to be sent to me, it took about a month, meanwhile my premiums has already been increased by 33%. When I sent in the new application, I waited and waited for a response. I was told in a letter I was missing a page that needed to be signed. I prompted faxed in the page. All of a sudden two weeks later I received a letter stating they are closing the application process because they did not receive my signed page. When I called them, I was told I could re-fax it, and request the application process to be re-opened. Now one would think that process should not take that long. I also requested that a rush be put on this since it was their incompetence that caused the delay. I am guessing it was that remark that put my application on the bottom of the pile. When I called 21 business days later, they said it was still being process. Not knowing what that meant, I asked to speak to a supervisor. Oh my gosh, that request takes 24 to 48 hours before one will call you back. I think I have spent more than enough time trying to get a status of my application. I was told yesterday by another supervisor, I should check in 7 to 14 business days to get a status. To add insult to injury, the supervisor ends her call with "is there anything else I can do for you today?" Seriously?, she did nothing for me today and nothing for the last 41 days when I initially sent in my application.
There has to be a company out there who will provide good health insurance, and at the same time act like they really care about their members.

Avoid BCBS!
Posted by
GEORGIA -- I truly hope that this message makes it to at least one person who is considering purchasing BCBS health insurance. If I can help one person avoid the headaches that have resulted from dealing with this company, it will be worth the time I took to submit this review. BCBS is a deceptive, dishonest, manipulative company that couldn't care less about members' healthcare as long as they collect the premium each month. They will raise your premium and simultaneously deny more and more of the claims that they are responsible to pay. You will pay unbelievable premiums each month, and most of the claims (be it routine office visits or prescriptions) will be denied. Trying to reach customer service is almost impossible and, when you do, you will be given a vague and nonsensical answer with no resolution.
You will be left with a simple response..."no exception." Take my word - if you are considering BCBS as your health insurance carrier, reconsider.

What is driving rising health care costs in the U.S. are increased utilization created by increased consumer demand, new treatments, and more intensive diagnostic testing. People in this country are living longer. The population in the U.S. is aging, and a larger group of senior citizens requires more intensive medical care than a young, healthier population.
Advances in medicine and medical technology can also increase the cost of medical treatment. Lifestyle-related factors can increase utilization and therefore insurance prices, such as: increases in obesity caused by insufficient exercise and unhealthy food choices; excessive alcohol use, smoking, and use of street drugs.
Other factors include the movement to broader-access plans, higher-priced technologies, and cost-shifting from Medicaid and the uninsured to private payers. My monthly premiums are extremely reasonable, have not gone up, and my coverage has not changed at all.
oldisgood on 03/27/2011:
I must lead a charmed life. I have had BCBS since 1989 and have very seldom had a problem with charges not being paid. On the rare occasion that I had a problem, I called on the 800 number, got a person in the US and asked my question and received my answers. On some occasions I was told they would review it and I did indeed receive payment and on a very few occasions I was told why the charge was not being covered. At the same time I was told, if I did not agree with the finding that I could write a letter and explain why I thought it should be covered and they would consider it. I was talked to like an intelligent person, and I talked to them like they knew their job. On one occasion I wrote about a denial and did end up receiving all the payment I thought was due. I found out long ago that you get more by being nice that by throwing a fit. I, myself, worked with the public, and if a person was nice to me, I bent over backward to help them with a problem. If you treated me like a lowly peasant, I suddenly became the worker with the low IQ that didn't quite undeerstand what you were talking about.
my 2 cents on 04/01/2011:
I am glad I am not alone out there as I have experienced only incompetence by BCBS. Our premiums continue to go up every year, and their customer service gets worse and worse. Since January I have been trying to chance my policy. When I sent it in on February 22nd, I then received notification they did not receive my signature page. Once I sent it in, I received a letter on March 8th telling me they are NOT considering my application because they did not receive my signature page.
This is now April 1st, and I still have no answer on the application as I sent them another letter stating I sent in the application page, dated and signed. How long should I wait until they get their act together before I tell them I am no longer interested in be3ing a policy holder?
Oh one more thing, when I called them today, I was told a supervisor was not available for me to talk to. So, I need to wait at least 24 to 48 hours before one gets back to me.
Anonymous on 04/01/2011:
jga, is it possible that you have a very high deductible on your policy? If this is the case, then your initial yearly visits, tests, etc. could very well be applied to the deductible. Once the deductible is met, then they will start paying the claims out as per your policy. It really depends on how your policy is set up.
For instance, routine office visits are covered under my policy with Cigna. They tried to apply mine to my deductible until I brought their error to their attention with a phone call. Then they paid it out correctly.
All of the insurance companies operate differently and not all are easy to navigate. Yes, they do make mistakes--many from what I've seen after working in the medical field. If you feel they are wrong, keep trying until you get an explanation that you can live with, or better, payment.
Buttons810 on 06/07/2011:
Concerning those who support BCBS in the above comments this is what I can say: I have never seen such poor customer service and given the run around in my life. We have had other plans in the past HMO and decided to get a PPO this year (and pay the higher premium) in hopes that we would get what we paid for better service and people who are knowledgeable. Every time you call there you get a different person, but that is not the problem. The problem is you get different answers to the same questions, and if you try to get something pre-approved you can ask one person what exactly do you need to get authorization and they will tell you one thing, you get a denial letter, you call back again to tell someone new what the first person said you needed, and they say you need something more, and the cycle continues itself. I have excellent people skills so I totally understand what they one person said you can get more cooperation by being nice, but when you are giving the run around and can't get answers you need in a timely manner that is not acceptable. Without going into my whole story (and you would be amazed) either this company is incrediably dishonest in it practices or the most incompetent company I have ever dealt with. Having an HMO in the past does not look so bad anymore after dealing with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois.
FrustratedConsumer on 07/01/2012:
I asked my husband to bring home the list of preferred providers on HMO Blue New England, and he was told they no longer publish it. I've spent about 2 hours online trying to find it, still no luck. They have everything on the website except what the customer needs.
JM on 05/18/2014:
I couldn't agree more. I am having the worst time with BCBS. We pay $940 a month for a family plan and I keep getting letters from my husbands on individual plan saying we owe them money, when they sent us a refund check. It is impossible to get them on the phone, and they don't respond to your online messages in a timely manner or with the correct information.

Refuse to pay for covered claims
Posted by
OKLAHOMA -- I had an accident when my grandson was sitting in my lap and jumped backwards and got me in the mouth and nose, he broke 2 teeth and knocked the rest of my front teeth lose I went to a dentist and had a exam and xrays but after being total 12K to repair damage I told them I was going to get a second opinion and I found a wonderful dentist they fixed my mouth for 9K I filed it on my dental insurance and called blue cross and blue shield to see if this was covered on my policy they said yes that I just needed to down load a claim form and send it in that it takes 30- 45 days to process a claim I said OK that was in August 2009 and that claim still has not been paid I have done everything they have asked and sent copies after copies but still they have not paid the claim, I received a letter from them telling me that the dentist that fixed my mouth was not the first dentist I seen I told them the same thing, he wanted to much to fix this damage 12K and I found another dentist that fixed everything for 9K and I paid out of my pocket what the dental insurance did not cover which was almost 5K and I was told it was covered by my policy but now they refuse to pay my claim I have been fighting this from August 2009 and still am. They said they will be willing to pay the 196.00 for the exam and xrays that the first dentist did but not the treatment and surgery this is crazy... Then I went to to see the surgeon about fixing my nose I was not going to get bit by that dog again so they sent in a
pr-authorization which I have a letter that says they received it on Dec. 17 2009 surgery to be done on Dec. 29th 2009 they came back on that one and said Oklahoma got it on Dec 17th but California did not get it until Dec 31, 2009 so it was denied I lost coverage on Jan 1 2010 due to leaving the company I was working for. Now I have a pre existing condition that no insurance company will touch and a claim they refuse to pay that was covered on my policy. I still can't breathe out of my nose which causes me serve sinus infections and my savings is gone. I paid my half of my insurances which was 360.00 per month and then had to use everything I had in savings to pay for what my dental did not cover which is what I was told my medical with blue cross and blue shield would cover, that it was a covered item on my policy accident injury. I have tried to play their games and tired of the excuses I have been left with nothing to do but call and hire a lawyer. Thanks for nothing blue cross

yoke on 03/23/2010:
Was the second doctor an inplan doctor? Did you get authorization for the second visit? It sounds like the OP went and had the work done and then billed the insurance company for it.
As for the nose surgery if the surgery was done before the 31st they should have covered it. Our insurance changed on Jan 1 and my husband had a procedure done on the 28th and it was covered under the old insurance.
Disaster Worker on 03/23/2010:
Get used to the idea of out-of-pocket medical payments! Insurance companies will find ways to not pay insurers so that they'll come out ahead on our new socialist healthcare program.
BEJ on 03/23/2010:
Most dental insurance does not cover what it considers cosmetic dentistry. For example, my husband had to have a dental implant. Insurance paid for the surgery to remove the tooth but not for the implant as it was considered cosmetic dentistry. Did you have in writing what they told you they would cover? If not, not sure there is much you can do.
Starlord on 03/25/2010:
That is a terrible situation, and I hope you find resolution soon.
momsey on 03/25/2010:
What was the reason they gave for not covering the dental work? In my experience, dental insurance is very poor, it doesn't cover a whole lot, and there's a cap to how much they will pay out per year. That might be the case here, and while it's unfortunate, I don't think you'll have any luck getting more money out of them.

Blue Cross Lies

blue cross lies
CALIFORNIA -- My wife was in rehab at calif rehab to learn how to walk, talk and think after being hospitalized for over a month. My wife was doing well, but still need close supervision when out of bed. One night she was left unattended and fell (Friday evening) took them almost 6 hours to take x-rays & get results (they say nothing broken)the days following my wife is in pain a lot of pain. That Sunday her doctor Johnson saw her, she observed that my wife couldn't left her legs and was in a lot of pain. The doctor said she would order stronger pain meds and some pain patches. a day later my wife still hadn't received this pain medicine. On top of it they refused to keep ice on her, I had to purchase our own ice pack so my wife could get some relief. The minuet we complained that she wasn't getting the treatment she should due the fall the director called facey and had someone there within a hour stating my wife was fit to be released from rehab. When I called this person representing my wife doctor she told me she witnessed my wife get from bed to a wheel chair and that was all that was needed for her rehab to be complete. We asked for a doctor to look at her, they refused, we requested a 2nd opinion, they refused. we were told our 2nd opinion was doctors reviewing her records. No doctor saw my wife, or witnessed that she couldn't function in or out of bed. then 3 pig women from blue cross got on the phone with me and told me there would be someone there everyday to make sure my wife was taken care of, and that my wife would receive all the therapy she needed at home. GUESS WHAT we got nothing. All this time my wife is in so much pain she is crying all day and night. We go to her HMO doctor, he takes x-rays and See's 3 fractures. Now these pigs at blue cross stated there were no broken bones so she can go home, they told us my wife would just have to work through the pain. Now that they know they did wrong, are they trying to correct things? Noooooooooooooo, in fact they are making sure any service my wife should be getting takes as long as they can make it before she receives this service. Trust me you do not want to have Blue cross as your medical provider. all of this is documented, I would love to provide you with all my notes, names, phone numbers and x-rays to prove what I am saying is correct. There is more, because e complain they are refusing any treatment any doctor puts in for her to have. They have gone so far as trying to say I am obusing my wife. I have done nothing but fieght to make sure my wife gets the medical treatment she deserves and everyone will tell you that. do I get mad yes, do I get in their face yes, but they think they have so much power no one can touch them. rust me they will be touched, everyone that hurt her, left her for dead will pay, god see's all and they will get what they deserve.

This sounds like a problem with the health care providers that Blue Cross contracts with and that should definitely be addressed. If you still feel that it is in fact the insurance company that is the problem and not the providers, then you should contact the insurance commissioner in your state and file a formal complaint.
Starlord on 03/20/2010:
I see this is BCBS of California. Each state's BCBS is a separate entity. You are tarring all of them with the same brush. My mother retired from BCBS of Indiana. I agree, it sounds like your beef is with the health care providers, not BCBS. I would recommend you contact the state incurance commission. I got hurt on the job in California, and the surgeon who worked on me should be paying dues to the meat cutter's union. Traveler's, which was my employer's carrier provided excellent service and paid everything. The hospital and doctors were less than stellar. I would cool it on the pig women and calling people pigs. I can understand your frustration, but stuff like that does not help, believe me.

Worse Experience of My Life.
Posted by
SAN ANTONIO, GEORGIA -- I applied on marketplace in Dec of 2013 for Insurance from 2 separate companies, one for medical and BCBS for dental. Within weeks I received information from my medical insurance, which I paid for. I never received anything from BCBS. I assumed that because I never received anything that they didn't get my application or I would get info in April because the deadline was set back.
I finally received information from them (a welcome packet, bill, and my BCBS dental card) in April. I paid my premium in May. After paying my premium I received a bill for $216.XX. I called BCBS to find out why I was being billed that amount. I was told that it was everything I owed them from Jan until present for coverage. I explained the situation only to have them tell me that they couldn't change the date on my insurance and I told them I wanted to cancel. Then I got a notice that said that my insurance had been canceled Feb 1, 2014.
I called to request a refund for the amount that I paid. The insurance was cancelled before I had ever paid it and the whole thing is a mistake with their system. I was told by a CSR that I should have never been allowed to pay for the insurance and that I should expect a refund check in 7 - 10 business days. That was July 21st. The lady gave me a reference number, her name, and her employee ID number. Today Sept 3rd, 2014 I called to find out where my refund was. I was told that the CSR should have never told me that I would be getting a refund and that the money I paid in May went to my Jan 2014 bill and that's why I got a letter saying I was canceled in Feb for non payment, which does not make any since what so ever.
After spending at least 4 hrs on the phone over a course of 3 months, I am being told I am not getting a refund and that I could appeal it if I wanted. So I paid for insurance I never had and BCBS is trying to keep my money and some how pinning their system errors on me. BCBS is a NIGHTMARE!

Beef-Stuffed Crescent Rolls Recipe

1 pound ground beef
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
3 tubes (8 ounces each) refrigerated crescent rolls
In a large skillet, cook beef and chilies over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the cream cheese, cumin and chili powder. Cool slightly.
Separate crescent dough into 24 triangles. Place 1 tablespoon of beef mixture along the short end of each triangle; carefully roll up.
Place point side down 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 11-14 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
Yield: 2 dozen.

Greetings from Greece!Nice recepie!I love the combination beef with cumin!It's dealicious!
Perfect! I love, love anything in a crescent roll and these look amazing.
No doubt my crew will LOVE these for busy summer nights! Awesome!
These look perfect for a new mom! Could I freeze these?
Hi Jane,
I haven't tried freezing them so I am not sure how they would turn out. My only concern would be that the crescents would get a little soggy when you thawed them out. Let us know if you try it!
Going to try these immediately! Thanks for the tip!
I used this as breakfast but I use Jimmy Dean sausage, cream cheese and bake in the oven. easy breakfast!
I love this idea for breakfast.
Can you freeze them?
Hi Shannon!
I haven't tried freezing them so I am not sure how they would turn out. My only concern would be that the crescents would get a little soggy when you thawed them out. Let us know if you try it!

Man this title sucks.
I'll try to explain it better. I have 2010 Bengal with 70lbs limbs. When I left the pro shop today, it was set at 60lbs. Now I did one full turn (increasing) on each bolt. What could it be at? Any rule of thumbs applying here?
I calculated the arrow speed using online calculator and I would go from 260 to 270 (appr). Every bit counts, right? Hunting season is so close and I'm too excited to sleep!!!

Versatile and glamorous
By Glamour puss
from Manchester, UK
One of my favourite Paula Young wigs, i have had seven over the years in various colours and I love it. It is so versatile and comfortable to wear even in hot weather but there is not as much hair as there used to be, meaning that the web can sometimes be seen at the back. I do not expect this from a Paula Young wig and it slightly cheapens the product. However, I will continue to buy it as long as it is available
Too much whiz and not enough bang
By Joan
from Pittsburgh, Pa.
About Me Minimalist
I returned this wig because it was too much hair and didn't look like the picture in the catalog.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Jean-Michel Cousteau knows sharks, and a new IMAX® movie he's presenting at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk confirms that sharks are as awesome as we think.
But the film, "Sharks," also warns that the oceans' top predators are horribly misunderstood and paying a deadly price for their reputation.
Cousteau, from the famous family of ocean explorers and defenders, invites Aquarium audiences to dive into "Sharks," which will play at 1 & 3 p.m. daily from Jan. 18 through June 20 in Connecticut's largest IMAX movie theater, with a screen that's six stories high.
"The minute I saw the amazing footage, I knew I had to be involved with this IMAX theater documentary," Cousteau said in the film's media materials. "To inspire and educate people to act responsibly in order to ensure the preservations of the world's oceans is a mission the film and I have long shared."
(Cousteau will talk about threats facing the oceans during a May 20 appearance at The Maritime Aquarium. Get tickets at www.maritimeaquarium.org or call 203-852-0700, ext. 2206.)
