Malaysian Peninsular June 2011
Starting in KL, we did the obligatory Petaling Street, Pasir Seni and KLCC we cleared off to the real Malaysia. Not before having my wallet stolen on LRT between Kampung Baru and KLCC and that after impressing on my guests the importance of keeping an eye on your wallet. These animals are sooo quick, but the Police were absolutely superb in attending my report and indeed showed me a photo of a guy who had been next to me that part of the trip when the theft took place. Full marks to Malaysian Police Force.
Up to see the last tin dredge at Chenderong, Perak. The giant has a bit of a leak and is listing, but we marvelled at the complexity of the monster. A must do visit and a very modest entry fee.
Ipoh I think gets lovelier each visit. No longer the world tin capital with the bustle and dust. Now a more sedate tranquil place, with excellent amenities and ever the spectacular limestone mountains…and great food.
Marina Island is a man made Island of over 300 acres opposite Pangkor Island south arm of the Dinding River in Perak. Its an ambitious project, but caters well for the monumental growth in Sri Manjung district. We stayed at the very new Best Western Hotel overlooking the marina and Pangkor. Now with more supermarkets and super stores than any regional area I know of, it combines the beauty of Lumut, Pangkor area with massive construction industry, shipbuilding and the like. The main town of Sitiawan remains a most civilised town..and did I mention food at both Sitiawan and nearby Kampung Koh (home of the very best "sos cili".
Had to backtrack to Ipoh, but then continued onto the Royal town of Kuala Kangsar. Known for its beauty and top schools, it is the home of the Perak Royal family. The "Gallery Sultan Azlan Shah" (no photos please) is as good as it gets. Not to be missed.
Then Penang via Taiping and a once round the superb lake. Penang has become yet another "home" for us and we so enjoyed showing off this lovely place to our friends. The world heritage old town, Kek Lok See, fantastic food…I have covered Penang in another post and wont repeat myself here.
Been years since we drove the East-West highway and it is till a lovely trip. Lake Temenggor, Jeli, Machang and on down to Terengganu. Boy has this town (city?) grown. The mosques are staggering, but the age old art of boat building without plans still continues.
On to see friends at Cukai and that food thing again…but you have to know where to go for the best in this town. East coast never loses its laid back appeal.
Our friends put up at Swiss Garden Kuantan courtesy of another good friend. Unfortunately only 1 couple could stay, so we were directed by out Cukai connection, to an almost new "homestay" on the north side of Kuantan which was excellent. While in Kuantan we first checked out the old tin mining town of Sungai Lembing. Once the biggest of its kind in the world, the mostly hand dug tunnels are over 322km long and down to 700 meters. Sadly the tunnels are no longer safe, but the museum is excellent and the town itself is a perfect example of yesteryear. A converted house also make superb vegetarian "biskut Kuantan" crisp and crunchy and to die for.
Gua Cheras is in the same direction, but frankly is a disappointment and I will not add a photographic reminder. The Taoist Dragon Temple was next. Very contrived, but fun.
Temple of a 1000 Buddha's was next. Not only a spectacular temple in a lovely setting, but the wonderful work done in the adjoining private hospital for the poor and needy, all funded by donation, is an eye opener.
Finally on our way back to KL, stopped at the Kuala Gandah elephant sanctuary. The sanctuary is extremely well done, entry free but donations gratefully accepted. While Deerland close by is a waste of time and money, the sanctuary has managed the almost impossible task of combining wildlife conservation…elephants and their care , rehabilitation and where possible release, with an excellent tourist attraction. The staff are dedicated and it shows. This is only a day trip from KL and the "start" time of around 1pm is easy and be prepared to stay quite a few hours.
I guess you can see the highlight of the trip for me lah!

text: Health Insurance Print Reasons for Health Insurance Claim Denials and What You Should Do By Elizabeth Davis, RN Updated October 15, 2017 Musketeer/DigitalVision/Getty Images More in Health Insurance Healthcare Reform Affordable Care Act & Obamacare Medicare Medicaid Prescription Drug Insurance Financial Aid & Subsidies More Types A health insurance denial happens when your health insurance company refuses to pay for something. Also known as a claim denial, your insurer can refuse to pay for a treatment, test, or procedure after you've had it done or while you're seeking pre-authorization before you've received the health care service. Why Health Insurers Issue Denials There are literally hundreds of reasons a health plan might deny payment for a healthcare service. Some reasons are simple and relatively easy to fix, some are more difficult to address. Common reasons for a health insurance denial include: Paperwork mix-ups. For example, your doctor's office submitted a claim for John Q. Public, but your insurer has you listed as John O. Public.The insurer believes the requested service is not medically necessary. There are two possible reasons for this: You really don't need the requested service.You need the service, but you haven't convinced your health insurer of that. Perhaps you need to provide more information about why you need the requested service. The insurer wants you to try a different, usually less expensive, option first. In this case, many times the requested service will be approved if you try the less expensive option first and it doesn't work.The requested service isn't a covered benefit. This is common for things like cosmetic surgery or treatments not approved by the FDA.Your health plan won't approve the service if it's provided by that particular healthcare provider but will approve the service if you use a different provider. In this case, the service might be approved if you choose a different health care provider. Alternately, you might try to convince the insurance company that your chosen provider is the only provider capable of providing this service.Insufficient information provided with the claim or pre-authorization request. For example, you've requested an MRI of your foot, but your doctor's office didn't send any information about what was wrong with your foot.You didn't follow the rules. Let's say your health plan requires you to get pre-authorization for a particular non-emergency test. You have the test done without getting pre-authorization from your insurer. Your insurer has the right to deny payment for that test, even if you really needed it because you didn't follow the health plan's rules. What to Do About a Denial Whether your health plan denies a claim for a service you've already received or it denies a pre-authorization request, getting a denial is frustrating. If you get a pre-authorization denial, you may think you're forbidden to get the treatment, test, or procedure. Think again. A denial doesn't mean you're not allowed to have that particular healthcare service. Instead, it just means your insurer won't pay for it. If you're willing to pay for it yourself, out-of-pocket, you'll probably be able to have the health care service without further delay. If you can't afford to pay out-of-pocket, or if you'd rather not, you may want to look into the cause of the denial to see if you can get it overturned. This process is called appealing a denial. All health plans have a process in place for appealing denials. That process will be outlined in the information you receive when you're notified that your claim or pre-authorization request has been denied. Follow your health plan's appeals process carefully. Keep good records of each step you've taken, when you took it, and who you spoke with if you're doing things on the telephone. If you're not able to resolve the issue by working internally within your health plan, you may request an external review of the denial. This means a government agency or other neutral third party will review your claim denial. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!

After the Environmental Protection Agency announced in December that it would not move forward on regulations for hardrock mines, six environmental groups took the agency to court last month, arguing that the decision could harm cleanups for mines throughout the U.S.
On Friday, 14 states, including Nevada, entered the legal fray, filing a motion to intervene in the case over whether the environmental agency was meeting its congressional mandate to require financial assurances from mining operators to clean up pollution.
The case is the latest in more than a decade of wrangling over the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, or CERCLA. In its decision last December, the EPA argued that the move would leave more power to states, like Nevada, which has bonding requirements for miners.
Attorney General Adam Laxalt, the Republican candidate for governor, said that Nevada and the other states, led by Arizona and New Mexico, sought to defend "the EPA's deference."
"The EPA's deference to Nevada's exiting regulations is a great example of cooperative federalism in action, which is why Nevada, along with so many other hardrock mining states, is intervening to defend the EPA's imminently [sic] reasonable decision," Laxalt said in a statement.
But the groups pushing back against the EPA, including the Sierra Club and Nevada-based Great Basin Resource Watch, said the agency's decision, under the leadership of EPA Director Scott Pruitt, was a blow to strengthen the requirements to clean up mines across the West.

By Nurse Ruth
Do you remember when you were in school and the teacher would ask, "Does everyone understand? Are there any questions?" Many times I did not understand and did have questions. Was I the only one? As I looked around the classroom, many times I was the only one with my hand in the air. In present time, I find I'm still asking questions and waving my hand in the air. And again, sometimes it seems I am the only one.
As a nurse, some of my biggest questions today have to do with medications. Why? Why so many? Why medications vs. altering lifestyle? Why a diuretic vs. limiting salt intake? Why a sleep aid vs. increasing physical activity and limiting caffeine intake. Why are anti-psychotics and tranquilizers used so frequently in our elderly to control what is perceived to be undesirable behavior vs. trying to gain a better understanding of the cause (e.g. pain, mental confusion, underlying infection or adverse reaction to medication)?
The point I'm trying to drive home is this: let's all start asking questions. Questions like, why this medication? What if I don't take it? Is there an alternative? Is there, perhaps, a more natural alternative? With regards to natural alternatives, these, too, are medications, herbal or otherwise. They have side effects as well and can interfere with absorption of prescription medications.
When you go to the doctor, it is helpful to make a list with three questions you would like answered. This helps prioritize true problems and concerns. Bring your list of medications. If you don't have a list, bring your medication bottles. Many people have more than one doctor writing prescriptions for them, unaware that they are on the same medication but under a different drug name. This is also why it is important for you to consult your pharmacist to do a drug profile for you. This can prevent drug interactions and duplication.
ASK QUESTIONS!!! That's what you should do of your doctor, pharmacist, and nurse. And if you don't understand the answers, ask more questions.
If you have a concern, viewpoint or comment with regard to this subject matter, Let's Talk!

Five key points to keep in mind when settling on your stationery theme and style.
- Handwritten invitations add personal flair – but unless you have both the time and beautiful handwriting, hire a calligrapher.
- Choose a motif to feature throughout your stationary, such as both of your initials or favourite song lyrics.
- Showcase your creativity by adding pretty embellishments such as ribbon or dried flowers to a paper or cardboard invitation.
- Asking your guests to email their RSVPs is convenient but if you're having a traditional wedding, embracing the paper option may be more suitable.
- The wording of your stationery should match the feel of the day. Choose more formal wording for a traditional occasion, and casual phrasing for a relaxed affair such as a beach wedding.

Abram Winegardner Harris, the fourteenth president of Northwestern, must rank with that handful of leaders who made a decisive difference in the overall development of the University by virtue of their vision, nimbleness, longevity, and the scope of their ambition. Much was done on campus under his guidance, at a time when higher education throughout the country was entering a new era. As with the tenures of Henry Wade Rogers, Walter Dill Scott, J. Roscoe Miller, and Henry S. Bienen, the list of happenings and accomplishments studding his tenure is crowded and striking.
Harris was born on November 7, 1858, in Philadelphia, and received his B.A. in 1880, and his M.A. in 1883, from Wesleyan University. After teaching mathematics at Dickenson Seminary in 1880-1881, and at Wesleyan in 1881-1884, he took a year to study in Munich and Berlin. Upon his return Harris went back to Wesleyan, this time, no doubt having been exposed in Germany to a flourishing historical discipline, to teach history, in 1885-1888. Changing course again, in 1888 he became an assistant director, then director, at the Office of Experiment Stations in the U.S. Department of Agriculture. It was here that his considerable administrative talents first became evident, and it was from this position that he was offered the presidency of Maine State College, which he assumed in 1893. He was successful in this assignment too, overseeing the transformation of the school into the University of Maine in 1896, before leaving in 1901 to direct the Jacob Tome Institute, a preparatory school, in Maryland, until, after considerable success there too, he was wooed away by Northwestern in 1906.
In his first report to the trustees, Harris noted some glaring weaknesses around campus, including a sketchy curriculum and overcrowded classrooms, an inadequate library, and the lack of a proper gymnasium and adequate living quarters for undergraduate men. In marked contrast to the experience of the previous president, Edmund Janes James, who left the University prematurely in disappointment over the absence of support for just such measures from the same trustees, Abram Harris met with their ready acquiescence, perhaps because their experience with James had taught them that progress is not cost-neutral. With this assurance, Harris, a born administrator, proceeded to realize a series of initiatives in rapid succession.
In 1908 the School of Commerce was founded, and it was quickly a huge success. Also in 1908, Walter Lichtenstein was named University Librarian and within ten years under his tutelage the collection had greatly expanded. In 1909 a gift from the family of meatpacking notable Gustav Swift allowed for the construction of Swift Hall of Engineering, a state-of-the-art facility that must have enticed many potential faculty and students to Northwestern. The next year Patten Gymnasium was dedicated with generous help from trustee James A. Patten. This too was a lavish facility, located until 1939 at the present site of the Technological Institute; along with athletic activities, it accommodated commencement exercises and the North Shore Music Festival. In 1910, on Harris's recommendation, the trustees upgraded graduate studies from the more archaic, loosely organized program, and established a Board of Graduate Studies to administer the school. In 1911 plans were drawn up to finally build, north of the new gym, the men's dorms that a succession of presidents had been pushing for.
In 1913 the School of Oratory, formerly run by Robert Maclean Cumnock, petitioned to be put under the control of the Board of Trustees. By 1914, eleven units of what became the north quads were operating, with seven fraternities and four open houses occupying them. In the same year, Harris and the Board of Trustees organized the first summer school, expanded in 1915 to include a day school in Evanston. And in 1915 Harris Hall, the new liberal arts building named for the benefactor who funded it, banker and trustee Norman Wait Harris, was dedicated.
Generally, the Harris years saw a new professionalization of the Medical and Dental schools and an expansion of the Law school, while the student body of the Evanston campus increased dramatically; this was paced by a 30% rise in the University's resources and the erection of 20 new buildings. Along with an improvement in the academic environment, relations with the city of Evanston warmed notably. Though the city in 1907 had tried to revoke Northwestern's tax-exempt status, Harris convinced Evanston that the University's fiscal contribution to the city greatly outweighed what the city would otherwise collect from non-University, taxable property.
Harris's other triumphs as an administrator included his role as a creator, and first president, of Phi Kappa Phi, and creator of Alpha Delta Tau; as president of the American Social Hygiene Association, an early sex education group; as executive chairman of the Vice Commission in Chicago; as vice-president of the Committee of Fifteen; and as president of the Union League Club, among other public-spirited leadership accomplishments. And for good measure, it was Harris who conceived the idea of a water filtration plant for the city on land donated by Northwestern.
By the middle of 1916, Abram Harris seems to have been ready to relinquish the exhausting role of president, as he retired to accept a position as corresponding secretary of the Methodist Episcopal Board of Education, decidedly an easier post to bear. Here, of course, he was equally an asset to the organization.Abram Winegardner Harris died on February 21, 1935, after several years of failing health.

Hello Everybody!
I am working on my Valentine's Day cards so get ready to see lots of red and pink...and grey?
Here is my card. I am entering it in the Cut It Up Challenge #11: Love is in the Air. The cupid is a Sizzix Die Cut from Tim Holtz. I use grunge paper to cut him out (with my cuttlebug) and painted him with Close to my Heart Pearl paint mixed with tulip re-inker. Then I painted him with Rock Candy Crackle. So cooool. :)
The love is embossed from a Cuttlebug word folder and I cut out love and sanded it. I used a TH distress Coredinations paper so it's red on the outside and pink on the inside. In this case-too pink. I used some distress walnut ink and then it was too dark. So then I put a little white paint on it and rubbed it in with my finger. The musical notes are washi papers from Reflections and I kind of bunched them up on each side.
Oh and the background? The technique is in Tim Holtz's Compendium of Curiosities I. It's called Rusted Enamel and it's on page 41. I don't want to say how to do it for respect to Mr. Holtz. (His blog might have it: www.timholtz.com).
I will say there is embossing powder involved. I took this picutre with the flash on by accident. You can see the texture in the background.
Thank you for stopping by! Until next time my friends...Love is in the Air! :)

Landscaping in the Fall and Winter - Denver
Many of A Perfect Landscape's Denver-area clients don't think much about landscaping in the fall and winter. There is a common assumption that many Denver landscapers take a break in the landscaping off-season when the weather gets colder and the days get shorter.
A Perfect Landscape's dedicated local landscapers are committed to going the extra mile when it comes to providing comprehensive landscaping services all year long, so you can achieve your landscaping design and installation vision any time of year, throughout all four seasons, when it's most convenient for you and your Denver family or business.
Many Denver-area residents concentrate on landscaping projects solely in the spring and summer because that's generally the time everyone likes to be outside, enjoying their outdoor living spaces. However, wouldn't it be nice if you could truly enjoy your FINISHED landscaping project in the warmer months? That's why A Perfect Landscape's landscape design and installation teams work tirelessly to provide year-round landscaping ideas that can be achieved even if the weather outside is frightful!
Fall Landscaping Ideas
Landscaping in the fall is often overlooked as one of the prime times for planting trees and bulbs. Our garden landscaping teams can help you with fall landscaping projects such as planting your bulb plants properly as well as planting your trees so that way, they are beautifully blooming and firmly rooted by the time spring rolls around!
[Click here for a free copy of our Ebook: Landscaping through All Four Seasons]
Winter Landscaping Ideas
Landscaping in the winter is an ideal time for installing "hard" structures (also known as hardscaping projects), such as patios, pergolas, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, decks, and more. Although winter is obviously not ideal for planting or garden landscaping, installing hardscapes, such as patio pavers, concrete, stone, brick, or cement structures is very feasible. Fire pit installation is also quite popular in the winter, allowing you and your Denver family to enjoy outdoor entertaining, even in the colder months, as you're surrounded by the warmth of a fire.

I checked every single history book in the library I could find that even remotely mention the Bakumatsu/Meiji Restoration. And not a single one mentioned the Shinsengumi at all. I mean, there was one that said that the strongest resistance against the Choshu/Satsuma rebels was a group sponsered by Aizu, and I can infer that they meant the Shinsengumi.

Baby L's Cake Smash | First Birthday Photography in Virginia
One of my favorite parts of doing cake smash sessions, besides getting to taste the cake, is that I get to see the personalities of so many adorable one year olds shine. I had a great session with baby L and she was so much fun to photograph. As soon as she saw the cake she wanted to have at it. Face first! She had a ball and did not let the mess stop her one bit. Gotta love a baby covered in cake....So delicious!

First I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Purpose in life, therefore, I DEMAND of myself

Sounders FC plays its next two matches at home, beginning Saturday night against the New England Revolution on the Xbox Pitch at Qwest Field. First kick is set for 7:30 p.m. PT. Seattle (3-5-3, 12 points) is looking for its first win at home since April 17. It has claimed only four points out of the last six starts. Sounders FC stands sixth in the Western Conference standings and 10th overall in MLS. New England (3-6-2, 11 points) beat nine-man New York at home last week to snap a seven-game run without a win. The Revs are the only opponent yet to yield a point to Seattle, having won both meetings in 2009. Each of the three Sounders FC victories has come against the East, where New England sits in fourth. The Revs are 1-4-0 on the road. Seattle is 3-2-1 against the East and 0-3-2 versus the West, and 2-3-1 at home. Between the boxes, Sounders FC has more than held its own. But possession and chances have resulted in just nine goals to date. Seattle has been shut-out in four of the last six games and has not put one in the home netting in 266 minutes. Colorado blanked Sounders FC, 1-0, last Saturday for the second straight defeat. Seattle has never lost three in a row. Seattle had erupted for a 3-0 win over Argentina's Boca Juniors in a midweek home friendly. For tickets to Sounders FC home matches, call 1-877-MLS-GOAL or visit www.SoundersFC.com. This week's game will be televised locally on KONG 6/16. Arlo White's call of the action will also be heard on News Talk 97.3 KIRO FM. Rene Aleman, Noe Menendez and Victor Hernandez are the broadcast team for the Spanish radio coverage on 1210 AM Homero. The final game prior to the MLS 14-day World Cup break will be June 10, when Sounders FC hosts D.C. United at 7 p.m. PT. That fixture will be nationally televised on ESPN2. Seattle resumes play on June 27 at Philadelphia. Upcoming Competition Schedule (All times Pacific) Saturday, June 5, 7:30 p.m. – New England Revolution, Xbox Pitch at Qwest Field, Seattle Thursday, June 10, 7 p.m. – D.C. United, Xbox Pitch at Qwest Field, Seattle Sunday, June 27, 2 p.m. – at Philadelphia Union, PPL Park, Chester, Penn. Sunday, July 4, 8 p.m. – at L.A. Galaxy, Home Depot Center, Carson, Calif. Sunday, July 11, 7:30 p.m. – FC Dallas, Xbox Pitch at Qwest Field, Seattle You Gotta Believe Whereas the inaugural season was full of blue skies from the outset, the sophomore campaign for Sounders FC has begun under mostly cloudy conditions. For the first time the team's record is two wins under .500. However, there is every reason to believe the sun will break through. It terms of quality play, Seattle has more than held its own. It leads MLS in corner kicks and is fourth in shots attempted (it is 10th in shots directly on goal). Reinforcements are also on the way, with Nate Jaqua's anticipated return from injury and Blaise Nkufo's arrival after the World Cup. It's About Time If Sounders FC is experiencing a role reversal to start its second season, then maybe that will translate into a reversal of fortune against New England. In its sensational first year, Seattle lost season series to only two clubs, the Revolution and Chivas USA, and it took a point off the latter. The Revs were one of two visitors to win in Seattle last season, and the difference-maker in the series was midfielder Shalrie Joseph, who scored all three New England goals. In the Hunt Despite some hard luck setbacks, Seattle has kept its competitive sharpness. Eight of the last 10 matches have been decided by a single goal, and Sounders FC is only four points out of the eighth playoff spot. A year ago, it finished with the fourth-highest point total in MLS and became the first expansion team to qualify for the MLS Cup Playoffs since 1998. Seattle will begin its defense of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup championship in late June and opens CONCACAF Champions League play in late July. Here's to Health Injuries have certainly played a part in the slow start. Of the 11 projected starters for 2010, Nate Jaqua, the No. 2 scorer last season, has yet to play a single minute due to lower abdominal surgery, and central defender Jhon Kennedy Hurtado is now sidelined indefinitely with a torn ACL. Midfielder Osvaldo Alonso (quad) has missed the last three matches. Among those expected to fill the various holes, Peter Vagenas (four games), Pat Noonan (3) and Michael Fucito (7) have each missed significant time due to injury. That Finishing Touch Offensively, the lack of a consistent finishing touch has frustrated all involved. In the five losses-all shutouts-Sounders FC has finished each match with an advantage in shots or corner kicks or both, and has accumulated superior overall totals in shots (64-41) and corners (42-18). After scoring seven times in the first five games there have been only two goals in the last six. Seattle's 0.67 goals per home game is the lowest in MLS. Overall, the scoreless run is at 185 minutes. Pressure on Defense With goals coming at a premium, the defense is being asked to play to zero for a result. All three wins have been shutouts, continuing a trend begun in the first season, when seven of 12 wins came with clean sheets. Seattle has only allowed more than two goals on two occasions, and has yielded more than one goal in consecutive games only once in 47 competitive (regular season, playoff and cup) matches to date. Since April 10, Seattle has not held a halftime lead. Rebuilding the Fortress One of the cornerstones of Seattle's inaugural season success was its ability to accumulate points at home. Sounders FC lost only twice and finished with a goal differential of 21-10. Following a 2-0 win over Philadelphia on opening night, it has given up seven goals and gone 1-3-1. In six home dates Seattle has attempted 77 shots and earned 49 corners, but its last goal scored at home came in the 4th minute of the 1-1 draw with Columbus on May 1. Changes in the XI With Jhon Kennedy Hurtado lost to a torn ACL in the final moments of the San Jose game, there were certain to be changes in Sigi Schmid's lineup at Colorado. Jeff Parke took Hurtado's position in central defense, earning his first MLS start for the club. Up front, Pat Noonan made his first start since April 17 and Brad Evans was back in midfield. The Nyassi Twins Will Saturday's match mark the first time that the Nyassi twins, New England's Sainey Nyassi and Seattle's Sanna Nyassi, share space on the pitch in MLS? In the first meeting of the Revs and Sounders FC on August 20, 2009, the brothers missed that opportunity by two minutes. Sainey started and played 67 minutes before coming off; Sanna entered the match as a Seattle substitute in the 69th minute. Sanna did not play in the second meeting at Foxborough. Both brothers played for Gambia's Ports Authority as well as the youth and senior national teams. Sainey signed with the Revs at age 18 and is now in his fourth season. Sanna signed with Sounders FC at 19, spending the latter portion of the 2008 season with the USL-1 Sounders. Sophomore Expectations If there's any trend in the transition of MLS expansion teams to their second season, it's that the slow starters generally begin to gather momentum in year two while the fast starters hold their own. All-Star Voting Underway Fan voting for the 2010 AT&T MLS All-Star First XI is underway. Fans may vote online at http://www.mlssoccer.com/all-star.

Tickets will be available at www.SoundersFC.com, all Ticketmaster outlets, the Qwest Field Box Office, or by calling 800-745-3000. Celtic is making its fourth trip to Seattle and its third to Qwest Field. Winners of a record 34 Scottish cups and 42 league championships, the "Bhoys" from Glasgow boast a huge worldwide fan base. They are instantly recognizable for their green-and-white hooped jerseys. Celtic was the first British club to win a European championship in 1967. It met the NASL Sounders in 1981, and returned to face Manchester United in 2003 and Chelsea in 2004. Sounders FC Drive for Nothing But Nets Enters Home Stretch A six-week fundraising campaign to help raise money and awareness for the United Nations Foundation's Nothing But Nets campaign is now entering the home stretch. Sounders FC owner Drew Carey and midfielder Sanna Nyassi are serving as honorary co-chairs of the fundraising initiative that began on May 1 and runs through June 10. Long-lasting, insecticide-treated bed nets are one of the most effective methods of preventing the spread of malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. A $10 donation allows Nothing But Nets to purchase a net, deliver it to a family, and educate on its use. Fans who donate $30 or more will receive a limited edition Drew Carey bobblehead. For more information visit www.SoundersFC.com. Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. Inspired by sports columnist Rick Reilly, hundreds of thousands of people have joined the campaign that was created by the United Nations Foundation in 2006. It costs just $10 to provide a long-lasting insecticide-treated bed net to prevent this deadly disease. Visit www.NothingButNets.net to send a net and save a life. To date, Nothing But Nets has raised more than $30 million and distributed over 3 million nets to protect children and families in Africa. One bed net can protect a family of four for up to five years. Among the Leaders Freddie Ljungberg is 1st in MLS in corner kicks with 55. Ljungberg and Fredy Montero are second and third in fouls suffered with 24 and 23, respectively. Kasey Keller leads MLS goalkeepers in minutes played with 945 and is tied for fourth in shutouts with three. Montero is tied for ninth in assists with three, and 15th in goals scored with three. Montero is tied for third in shots taken with 29. Brad Evans is tied for second in game-winning assists with two. Nkufo Update Blaise Nkufo and the Swiss National Team will play Costa Rica in a friendly on Tuesday in Sion, Switzerland. The send-off match is against Italy on Saturday in Geneva. FIFA World Cup play begins on June 16 versus Spain in Durban, South Africa. Nkufo completed his seven-year run with FC Twente on May 2 by helping the Enschede club win its first Dutch Eredivisie championship. He is Twente's all-time scoring leader with 114 goals in the Eredivisie, including 12 this past season. He signed with the Sounders FC on March 4, and will join the team in July following the World Cup. Nkufo scored five goals for the Swiss during World Cup qualification. Champions League Draw Sounders FC will face CD Metapan of El Salvador in the Preliminary Round of the 2010-11 CONCACAF Champions League. It was determined last week that the first leg would be played in Seattle between July 27 and July 29. The second leg will be played in Metapan between August 3 and August 5. Sounders FC will play its home match on the Xbox Pitch at Qwest Field. Competition dates and ticket information will be announced soon. The winner advances to the six-round Group Stage, which begins August 17-19. If Sounders FC advances to the Group Stage, it would join Monterrey (Mexico), Saprissa (Costa Rica) and either Tauro (Panama) or Marathon (Honduras) in Group C. Seattle earned a berth in the Champions League Preliminary round by virtue of winning the 2009 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Metapan was confirmed as the Sounders FC opponent after FIFA lifted its suspension of El Salvador. The country had been suspended due to governmental interference in the federation affairs. Metapan clinched El Salvador's second berth with a 3-1 win over Aguila in the Clausura final on May 23. CD FAS qualified for El Salvador's first berth. Last year Metapan made the Group Stage where it finished fourth. The Los Angeles Galaxy, last season's MLS Cup finalist, will also participate in the Preliminary Round. Supporters' Shield winner Columbus Crew and MLS Cup victor Real Salt Lake have berths in the Group Stage. The CONCACAF Champions League is open to the leading teams from federations throughout North America, Central America and the Caribbean. Pachuca of Mexico won the 2009-10 CONCACAF Champions League last month. It finished tied, 2-2 on aggregate, with Cruz Azul, but prevailed on away goals. Pachuca will represent CONCACAF in the FIFA Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates in December. About Metapan CD Metapan won the 2010 Clausura for its fourth title in the last seven seasons (there are two seasons per year in El Salvador's Primera Division). All of the championships have come under coach Edwin Portillo, who also played 10 years for Los Caleros. Metapan was 5-2-8 in league play and then advanced over Firpo (4-3 on aggregate) and Aguila in the playoffs. Marc Blanco scored two first-half goals in the final with Aguila. Elias Montes scored the deciding goal in the 81st minute of the second leg semi at Firpo. Metapan was 3-0-5 at home and drew 2-2 with Firpo in the semifinal first leg at home, the 8,000-seat Estadio Jorge Calero Suarez. Metapan is located in the northwest corner of El Salvador. Ten clubs comprise the Primera Division which holds two tournaments per year: Clausura from January through May and Apertura from August to December. Note: Time Change for July 25 Seattle Sounders FC vs. Colorado Rapids on the Xbox Pitch at Qwest Field first kick on July 25 has been changed to 7:30 p.m. PT. The match will be nationally televised on Fox Soccer Channel. About New England Goalkeeper Matt Reis was placed on injured reserve after having off-season surgery and is yet to see action. Backup keeper Preston Burpo suffered a right leg fracture in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Red Bulls, forcing the Revs to call on second-year goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth as a replacement. Shuttleworth made two saves to earn his first career victory in his MLS debut. Midfielder Shalrie Joseph had two assists in his first home appearance since April 10 and rookie Zack Schilawski scored the game-winning goal in the 80th minute to lift the New England Revolution to a 3-2 victory over New York. The win ended the Revolution's (3-6-2, 11 points) seven-game winless streak (0-5-2) and was the club's first victory since a 4-1 win over Toronto FC on April 10. Joseph has played the past two games but only three altogether this season. The Revs are the only other team in MLS to play home matches on artificial turf. New England Series Recap New England parlayed three goals by Shalrie Joseph into a pair of wins over Seattle in 2009. Sounders FC 0, New England Revolution 1 – August 20, 2009 – Xbox Pitch at Qwest Field Shalrie Joseph scored the game's only goal as the Revolution blanked the Sounders FC in a nationally televised match, snapping Seattle's eight-game home unbeaten streak. In the 21st minute of the match a combination play between New England's Steve Ralston and Edgaras Jankauskas set up the goal. Joseph fended off Seattle's Peter Vagenas and poked the ball past goalkeeper Kasey Keller from 6 yards. Nate Jaqua led Seattle with four shots, and his closest opportunity came in the 27th minute of the match. Taking a pass from defender Leo Gonzalez, Jaqua steered his 6-yard shot just wide of the near post. The best chance to equalize for the Sounders FC came in the 43rd minute. Fredy Montero was fouled by Ralston, then stepped up to take the resulting penalty kick. Montero's shot ricocheted off the crossbar and the rebound was sent out of play for a goal kick. Seattle finished the match with 11 shots but was unable to get one on goal despite a 9-6 corner kick advantage. New England played without head Coach Steve Nicol, who was serving the second game of a two-game suspension. First assistant Paul Mariner was ejected from the match just before halftime. Sounders FC 1, New England Revolution 2 – September 26, 2009 – Gillette Stadium Shalrie Joseph scored two goals as the Revolution swept the initial season series. Seattle, trying to extend a three-game unbeaten run on the road, struck first. Following a near-miss by Nate Jaqua in the 3rd minute, Fredy Montero opened the scoring with a sensational unassisted goal in the 6th minute. Montero eluded two defenders on the right wing before unleashing a 30-yard blast which dipped under the bar for his 12th goal of the year. New England got back into the match in the 51st minute when Seattle defender Leo Gonzalez was called for a handball near the left edge of the box. Joseph converted the resulting penalty kick for his 7th goal of the year. Seattle mounted more offensive pressure as the final whistle neared, with Montero coming close on a bicycle kick with four minutes to go. But the Revs got the goal. A long ball from Jeff Larentowicz found Joseph alone in front for a free header past Kasey Keller in the 87th minute. It was Joseph's third goal and second game-winner in two matches against the Sounders FC. It also marked the first time in 12 games that Seattle lost after scoring first. Seattle/New England Connections Forward Pat Noonan was a mainstay of New England for his first five seasons in MLS, leaving the team after the 2007 season as the club's No. 4 goalscorer (37) and No. 3 in assists (29). Noonan has since played for Columbus and Colorado but he's yet to hit the net against the Revs in three meetings. Right back James Riley played his first three professional seasons for the Revolution. He was drafted by New England in 2005 out of Wake Forest, where he was once a teammate of Pat Phelan. While with New England, Riley was a starter for the 2007 Open Cup champions and MLS Cup runners-up in both 2006 and 2007. He scored his only MLS goal against New York at Gillette Stadium in 2005. Darren Sawatzky, the Sounders FC director of youth development, played two seasons (1996-97) in Foxborough. Sounders FC 0, Colorado Rapids 1 – May 29, 2010 – Recap Seattle dropped its second in a row on the strength of a Conor Casey second-half goal for the Rapids in front of a crowd of 18,116 at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Casey gave Colorado the lead in the 63rd minute.

Hunt Night
by Mark Eller
part 1 of 2
Reed woke in a dark barn to find his hand cupping a woman's bare breast. He jerked away, stood, and adjusted his clothes. The woman lay at his feet, a naked body cradled in hay, faintly illuminated by thin moonlight coming through the open barn door, drained of blood and soul through an opened neck. Another victim to the perfidy of Dr. Wise.
"Hunt Night," a low voice said. Reed heard a faint rustle, and then a thin, dark-bodied wraith walked out of the opposite stall. The wraith spread her arms wide, opening her leather-skinned wings, and she smiled. "I smell your blood."
Reed slowly rose and groped for his knife. The back of his left shoulder throbbed, but he could not remember being injured. He did not know why he was in this barn when his last memory was of driving his wagon on the Helad Plain. "Are you going to kill me?"
The wraith shook her head and pointed a talon at the dead woman. "I have already eaten her soul and tasted your blood, but I am not the only one you should fear. This is Hunt Night — the night when we Changed choose to feed, and you have been marked as prey."
In the distance, Reed heard breaking wood and a scream. He gripped his knife tighter, felt for the magician's bag strapped to his belt, and wished his magic was more than just slight of hand. Outside the barn, he heard a snuffling. Elsewhere, horses shifted in their stalls.
"One comes," the wraith promised.
"It's dark," Reed whispered, hating the quaver in his voice. "I can't see."
"I can," the wraith replied, and she faded back.
Reed swallowed hard. He jerked his head around, looking for a better weapon than his knife, but saw almost nothing in the dark. He backed away from the dead woman's body, backed deeper into the shadows, until his heel touched the barn wall.
The snuffling grew louder, working on his nerves until he wanted to yell. He heard the pad of feet, the shuffling of straw, and then a ghoul ghosted into view. It crouched in the stall's opening, a squat thing, half hidden in shadow, a being of long legs and thin arms. Its mouth opened in a grin, revealing two rows of sharp teeth. It eased forward and stopped beside the dead woman. Reed's stomach clenched and roiled.
"Run boy," the ghoul whispered just before it lowered its head to feed.
Reed ran. He raced past the ghoul, banged his shoulder against the stall door, and then he raced out of the barn. Once outside, he stopped. Panting, he looked around.
Though the moonlight was dim, Reed recognized the village. His family had traveled through it many times these last few years. Like everywhere else, Cairn was not the town it had been before Dr. Wise caused the Fall. Many of its houses were caved in. Some were gone; others had become burned beams and ash. The hardware store still stood, and a roofless pharmacy. Only a frame remained of the tavern where his father had sometimes played guitar.
Reed shuddered at the sight. Every time he came through Cairn more buildings were burned. Nothing was ever repaired, because humans were becoming rare.
Light shone past the closed drapes of the standing homes. Dark figures lay in the street. Other figures capered or crept. Glass broke somewhere, and Reed pressed himself tight against the outside barn wall. Sweat ran off his forehead and stung his eyes. He drew in on himself and wished he could safely melt into the ground. His heart hammered so hard he feared the hunters would find him by zeroing in on its sound.
Wings flapped. The wraith landed by his side.
Reed cringed away and wanted to plunge his knife into her belly, but he knew she had twice his speed and four times his strength. Her talons would rip out his throat before his hand barely moved.
"How old are you, boy," the wraith demanded.
"Six... sixteen," Reed stammered.
"Young enough to stink of fear," she said. "Old enough to fight. Will you fight, my bantam, or will you die?"
"I'll run," Reed said. He crouched low and slowly moved away, hoping that if he moved slow enough in the dark he would not draw the hunters' attention. He put away his knife, edged around the side of the barn, and crawled past a burned out building to reach a house with lighted windows. The light called to him like a beacon, beckoning him away from the shadows and the monsters.
Once there, he drew his knife and tapped it against a shuttered window.
Silence answered him. Reed shuddered and wanted to cry. His knife shook in his hand.
"P-Please," he called softly, "let me in."
"Go away," a gruff voice replied. "We've weapons and people enough to kill your kind."
"Please," Reed tried again. "I'm Magus Reed. The magician. I came through Cairn j-just three days ago."
Long silence, and then the shutter parted slightly.
"Put your face over by the crack," the gruff voice demanded.
Reed moved into the shutter's released light. He tried to hold still, tried not to show his fear, but hunters roamed the night and he was in plain view.
"You're human," the voice said, "and you look like Magus, but Magus Reed was last here more than two months back, not the three days you claim. Have you gone and caught the nano-plague?"
"Do I look like I've caught it," Reed demanded. "Have I grown fangs or claws or wings? Have I grown too tall or too short? Has my face become leather? I've no more nano in me than anybody else who's mostly human."
"He's human enough for us," a voice said, and then a weight flung Reed into the house wall. Fangs sank his into his shoulder. Reed screamed and jabbed his knife into the dark shape clinging to him. He stabbed it again and again while something else grabbed for his legs, and then the shape holding him burst into flames and fell away. Two small, dark shrouded bodies lay on the ground. An old man leaning out of an open window jerked a spear from one of the bodies. A goblin stood ten feet away. Its squat body was only three feet high but it had fangs and strong arms and its face wore an unhappy frown.
"You have killed us when you were not prey, Robert Tailor," it said. "Your name goes on the next hunt list."
"I understand," the old man said. "Until then, I've a wounded boy to care for.
The goblin spat on the ground. "He already heals. His nano is strong, but that will not save him this night. He has been marked as prey. She carried him here for the hunt. Do not interfere again or you will surely die, Robert Tailor. I will not protect you again."
The old man nodded, looked at Reed, and pointed his spear at Reed's gut. "I'm sorry lad, but I can't take you in. Nobody here can. There's an old mine a few miles to the east of town. It has narrow walls, so it should be easy to defend. You might try going there."
The night filled with the shrill sounds of a man's scream. The scream continued on and on, impossibly long. The scream was answered by another, and then a child's voice rose from someplace nearby. Something released a howl, and something else cackled.
Robert tossed Reed the spear. "Take it and run. I'll feed you breakfast and take back my spear if you're alive in the morning."
Reed grabbed the spear, lunged forward, and shoved it through the remaining goblin's heart. The goblin gasped and fell.
"What'd you do that for?" Robert demanded. "Now they're likely to kill us all."
"Will that matter?" Reed snapped. "They already kill us faster than we breed. Now he can't put your name on the hunt list."
"I am always safe," Robert said.
Reed turned on his heels and ran. He ran past broken homes and burned buildings. Were-rats darted out of a pile of sludge, but Reed stepped on them before any bit his feet. An attacking wyvern swooped out of the air. The spear jerked around in Reed's hands in time to run itself through the wyvern's throat.
The wraith wove into view from the shadows. She towered over Reed when she looked down on the dead wyvern. Her face was dark leather parched by too much sun. Her eyes were humored and human. The wraith kneeled down to rest a taloned hand on the wyvern's head.
"She was once my friend," the wraith said. "We roomed together in college and were lovers for ten years until she decided she preferred men."
The wraith leaned down, kissed the wyvern's saw-toothed beak, and laughed when she looked back at Reed. "Her mistake. She had to die. So tell me Magus, how does it feel to make your first kills? Did they make your head light? Did they make your blood flow?"
"You're sick," Reed said.
She laughed again. "I eat souls and suck blood. A person can't get much sicker than that. Did you like it when you ran your shaft into her body? Was it better than sex?"
Reed shook his head with confusion. "Humans never kill the Changed. It can't be done, but I killed the wyvern and that goblin caught fire."
"The Changed can burn?" The Wraith stroked her boulder-hard breasts, smiling suggestions. "Are you smart enough to learn why?"
"She didn't burn," Reed protested. He gestured toward the wyvern.
The wraith smiled and pointed at the spear.
Reed shifted his grip on the spear and realized that it had acted on its own. He had not known of the wyvern until after it was already dead. Real magic, he had heard, did exist, but it was the magic of nano gone rogue. It was the magic of nano infecting trees or stone or a child's eating bowl. Even without a controlling mind, nano sometimes achieved an awareness and purpose of its own.
"Thank you," he told the spear. The spear bent in his hands until its tip faced him. A silver eye blinked within the blade, and then the shaft straightened.
A woman screeched thinly. An angry bay followed the sound of ripping flesh.
"Run boy," the wraith said. "All the other prey are dead. They'll come after you in turns."
Reed nodded and ran at a jog. He could barely see the way. The moon was dim, the stars faint, and clouds drifted in. He knew where the mine lay because he had been there before, but everything looked different in the dark. The path felt uneven, unsure, as if it had not decided if it were going to stay. Cloying flowers and nano sweet cloves filled his senses. They made his head reel.
Before long, his nose clogged. Mucus ran thick in the back of his mouth. Water ran from his eyes. The baying fell farther behind. The screams faded, and then he ran through a silent night. His feet thudded into the ground, a steady drumbeat racing a third as fast as his heart.
Winded, Reed stopped less than two miles from Cairn. He coughed up phlegm, blew his nose, and set the spear's butt to the ground. Panting, he bent over his knees and wished he had not spent so much time sitting on a wagon seat. He was not used to running, was not used to hard work. Reed earned his way with flashing lights, colored scarves, and mirrors. The only things he had killed before this day were fish flopping on a lure.
Catching his breath, he straightened and listened for hunters closing in. Crickets chirped and a faint breeze stirred. The stars had disappeared. The moon was a dim glow behind thick fog. Clouds roiled, stealing light so he could barely see his hand.
A stick cracked.
He tensed, gripped the spear tighter and tried to remember what had happened to his knife. It was back in the village, he realized, buried in the body of a burning goblin.
He turned a slow circle, knees bent and spear held ready, but it was too dark to see. He stood on a path, no longer sure which way to go. One way led to the village, the other to the mine, but he was turned around and lost.
The hunters, the killers, they were out there and he was the next thing to blind. He strained his senses and smelled nothing. He heard no sound, but that did not reassure him. The hunters were Changed. When the Changed hunted, no human could survive.
"Wraith," he whispered with a suddenly dry mouth, hoping, but she did not answer. He heard nothing but his quick breaths and his beating heart. Reed tapped around with the spear until he felt brush and trees to discover where the trail's edge lay. He tapped again, seeking comfort in the sound.
And then he stilled.
The wraith, he knew, was near. She followed him, watched him, and played her game, but he did not know why. He was not her kind but he knew her type well because his mother had caught the plague. She became wraith and thought herself human until the hunger struck. In front of her family, she sucked out her daughter's soul.
Reed fought back the memory, but failed. He remembered his mother quietly directing her husband on exactly how to cut her throat while they stood over their daughter's drained body. Three days later, Reed's father became ill and started his own change. Reed stole the wagon and ran. He had run ever since.
"I love you," he whispered to the memories of his absent father, to his mother, and to a sister whose soul was no more. He wiped a hand across his eyes, wishing he could see, wanting to fold to the ground and hide under last year's fallen leaves.
"Please," a young voice whispered in the dark. "Help me. I don't want to die."
Light flared, making Reed close his eyes. When he opened them he saw two goblins standing over a boy. One goblin held a sputtering flare. The other held a revolver. Wet piss ran down the inside of Reed's leg.
"Our turn," the armed goblin said, and it raised its weapon. Reed shook. The spear jerked in his hands and threw itself through the air to enter the gun's barrel. The gun fired and blew apart. A piece of the spear flew back towards Reed. Fingers fell away from the goblin's wounded hand.
Acting on instinct, Reed grabbed the broken spear from the air, lunged forward, and shoved the splintered shaft into the wounded goblin's throat. Spinning, he swung the shaft towards the other goblin's face, but the goblin swayed to the side. It dropped the flare and leaped for him, clawed arms held wide, gaping mouth aimed for Reed's neck.
Reed screamed and fell to his knees. The goblin passed over his head, arms reaching, surprise spread across its narrow face. The shaft swung with its own volition and Reed heard breaking bone. The goblin hit the ground, rolled, and scrambled into deeper brush.
Shaking, Reed stayed on his knees. In the unsteady flare's light he watched the wounded goblin quiver and die. The broken shaft felt dead and thin in his hand. He opened his fingers and let it fall.

Homeowners Insurance is available for new home buyers and long-time homeowners who are looking to start coverage, or just switch providers. For many, purchasing a Homeowners Insurance policy is one of the final steps towards financing a home. Although, it may put your lender at ease knowing that the investment is protected, you should also feel comforted by the protection provided to you – and your things – through a Homeowners Insurance policy.
There are four parts of a Homeowners Insurance policy:
Coverage For Your Home
If your home faces structural damage after a catastrophic event such as a fire or hurricane, then your Homeowners Insurance policy will help pay for the repairs or rebuilding of your home. Other structures on your property that can be included on the policy may include a shed, detached garage, or a gazebo, and you can receive up to 10% of the coverage limit you have set for the structure of your home to rebuild these other structures.
When determining your coverage limit, it is best to opt for a coverage limit that will allow you to fully rebuild your home. In the event your home is completely damaged, and you must start anew, you don't want to be without the coverage to allow you to do so.
It is important to note that most Homeowners Insurance policies exclude damaged caused by floods, earthquakes, and maintenance-related issues. Although Florida is not a high risk for earthquakes, floods are common, especially during hurricane season. In order to fully protect your home and belongings, you should also purchase a Flood Insurance policy. As for maintenance-related issues, homeowners are fully responsible for countering the "wear and tear" that occurs to a home over time.
Coverage For Your Stuff
Like the structure of your home, your things are also protected against damage caused by a fire, hurricane, or other covered catastrophic event. They are also protected against theft. Coverage can be extended to personal belongings such as:
The coverage amount for your belongings is determined as a percentage of coverage for the structure of your home, usually 50-70%. So, if you were to purchase a $300,000 Homeowners Insurance policy to protect against damage the to of your home then you would have $150,000 – $210,000 in coverage for all of your personal belongings. This may seem like more than enough to replace your belongings, but if you make a detailed home inventory of all the items you own from your attic to garage, you may actually be surprised!
High Value Coverage:
Regular coverage may limit the amount of coverage to $1,000-$2,000 per item, so for certain items that are usually higher value, such as jewelry, art or furs, you should purchase additional coverage to protect the full value of these items.
Off-Premises Coverage:
Under this section of your Homeowners Insurance policy, optional coverage is available to extended beyond your home. Should you be traveling and have your personal items stolen from your vehicle or suitcase, you can file a claim through your Homeowners Insurance policy for reimbursement.
Credit Card Theft:
Credit theft is on the rise and can happen to anyone. Many Homeowners Insurance policies include up to $500 in coverage against unauthorized use of your credit card.
Coverage Against Liability
Under a Homeowners Insurance policy, you a protected against liability claims made against you or a member of your household. This means that if a guest or a third-party is injured while on your property, you may be held legally liable for their medical bills and other monetary punitive damages. This coverage can also protect you while off-premises. For example, if you are visiting your neighbor's house during the holidays and your child knocks over and breaks a very valuable piece of artwork, then your Homeowners Insurance policy will pay the liability cost for the repair or replacement value of the item. Other examples of coverage may include scenarios such as:
Coverage for liability can also follow you off of your property. For example:
Homeowners Insurance can cover the medical expenses relating to injuries you or a member of your family causes (even the four-legged family members). It can also cover legal fees and monetary damages that are awarded in the event you are sued. Keep in mind, that the coverage for the medical and legal costs are limited to the coverage your set for liability protection. Your standard liability coverage under a Homeowners Insurance policy may not be enough for some individuals. For those wanting higher liability coverage, there is Umbrella Insurance.
Coverage For Living Expenses
If you are displaced from your home due to a catastrophe, such as a fire, hurricane, or other covered event, then coverage for Additional Living Expenses will reimburse you for the cost of a hotel stay. Select carriers may even reimburse the cost of other living expenses such as meals.
