Frequently Asked Questions About Managed Care
How does managed care work?
Managed care is designed to keep down the cost of healthcare by coordinating your care through a Primary Care Physician (PCP) who manages your healthcare needs.
What is a primary care physician?
When you join a health plan, the plan will provide you with a list of Physicians from which you can choose your PCP. The PCP is the person you will go to first when you need medical attention. For example, your PCP could be a Pediatrician, General Practitioner, and in some cases an Obstetrician/Gynecologist. Your primary care physician conducts your history and physical examination, provides immunizations, coordinates consults, diagnostic screening, tests and provides preventative care. In an emergency, you should dial 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
How do I select my primary care physician?
You must pick a physician who is part of your plan's network. You can call your health plan for help in choosing a PCP (the phone number is on the back of your insurance card), look in your health plan's provider directory, or access your health plan's directory online through your plan's website.
How do I see a specialist?
For most plans, you will need a referral from your PCP. If you go to a specialist without a referral, the plan may not pay for the service provided and you may be financially responsible for the charges. Please check the policies and your benefit plan to understand your Health Plan's requirements.
For more information on your insurance plan call the phone number on the back of your insurance card or refer to the manual provided to you by your insurance carrier.
What is the difference between an HMO and PPO?
Health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and preferred provider organizations (PPOs) are both forms of managed care. There are differences between the structures of each, but they are typically not important to the average consumer. However, several other important distinctions exist, including the following:
So, which is better?
Of course, there isn't one right answer; the best choice depends on your particular needs. If you are fortunate enough to have a choice between HMO and PPO coverage, you will need to take some time to evaluate the coverage offered by each and determine which one best suits the needs of yourself and your family.
As a consumer are there any regulatory agencies I can call if I'm having problems with my health insurance plan?
Yes, below is list of contacts you can call if you are having problems with your health insurance plan.

Our Best Sweet-and-Juicy Peach Recipes
- « Prev
- Next »
- 1 of 20 | View all
Peach Upside-Down Cake
The family behind Illinois' Rendleman Orchards has amassed some great peach recipes in 135 years of growing peaches. This cake is no exception. Peach slices and brown sugar form a moist base for the tender, square cake--and when flipped over, that base becomes the topping. We like the cake warm with ice cream.
Peach Cordial Mini Bundt Cakes
The memory of a childhood orchard trip inspired Melinsa Murphey of Olathe, Kansas, to create this recipe. The cakes are moist and sweet and quite generously proportioned, so you may want to serve a half-cake to each person (or bake them in muffin cups instead).
This Dutch specialty, a puff pancake, bakes into a bowl shape that cradles a pile of sliced fresh peaches. The recipe comes from the Hidden Lake Bed and Breakfast in Jonesboro, Illinois, where the pannekoeken gets a dollop of sour cream and a generous sprinkling of powdered sugar. "It's simple, presents elegantly and always generates a round of oohs and aahs from our guests," says B&B co-owner Mary Jo Smith. "We typically serve it with maple sausage."
Peach Cake Roll
Spread a homemade cake roll with softened peach or vanilla ice cream, then top with peach slices to create this dessert from Michigan Peach Sponsors.
Peach Pinwheel Dumplings
Peach Pinwheel Dumplings is a family recipe from Rendleman Orchards in southern Illinois, a region where some of the Midwest's finest fruit is found. "For the ultimate in old-fashioned comfort food, try Granny Rendleman's dumplings," says Betty Sirles of Rendleman Orchards. It takes some time to make, but, as Betty says: "Boy, is it worth the effort!"
Peach Breakfast Parfaits
"This very simple fruit dish goes over big," says Mary Jo Smith, describing this breakfast at Hidden Lake Bed and Breakfast in Jonesboro, Illinois. She serves it in sundae glasses with a swirl of yogurt on top. For a variation, add raspberries to the peaches.
Peach Kuchen
Like any good cook, Mary Jo Smith of Hidden Lake Bed and Breakfast adjusts her recipes as she prepares them over time. She has fine-tuned the custard layer for Peach Kuchen and added spices to the peaches. If you're in a hurry, Mary Jo recommends substituting a single refrigerated unbaked piecrust for the Kuchen Crust.
Flamm's Peach Ice Cream
Flamm Orchards is a major peach producer in southern Illinois. The Flamm family likes to churn peach ice cream on the Fourth of July. The whole group gets involved in ice cream prep, then eating.
Flamm's Peach Cobbler and Yogurt Pie
Flamm's Peach Cobbler is a combination of recipes that's baked for the Flamm Fruits and Cream stand at the orchard's Cobden, Illinois, market (left). It's heavenly served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
For a no-bake summer favorite, try Creamy Peach Yogurt Pie. The recipe comes from the Flamm family's Good Food from the Orchard Cookbook, which is sold at their market.
Peach Chutney
Southern Illinois' peach growers provide the fruit that stars in specialty dishes at local eateries. This Peach Chutney recipe comes from Gerd Hedman, who owns the Peach Barn Cafe in Alto Pass with her husband, Anders. "We serve this with spicy food, like pork tenderloin or shrimp curry," Gerd says. She and Anders also run the Peach Barn Bed and Breakfast and Hedman Winery.
Gerd recommends serving the chutney with a glass of dry to semi-dry local white wine. You can freeze the chutney for up to six months.
Peach Barn Cafe, Peach Barn Bed and Breakfast, Hedman Winery
Vanilla Roasted Fruit
Oven-roasted nectarines or peaches create their own vanilla syrup as they're baked in vanilla-flavored sugar with water. They're heavenly with ice cream and syrup drizzled over the top.
Peach of a Crumble
Cranberries make this peach crumble special--no surprise, since the recipe comes from Canoe Bay resort near Chetek, Wisconsin. Wisconsin produces more cranberries than any other state in the nation. Serve with your choice of store-bought ice cream if you don't have time to make the Hint-of-Ginger Ice Cream accompaniment.
Summer's Best Peach Pie
Just-picked fruit from your farmers market will taste great in this pie, but you can use frozen peach slices if needed.
Pretty Peaches 'n' Pound Cake
Juicy, fresh peaches star in this dessert, based on store-bought pound cake. "It's easy and there's nothing to it," says the Rochester, Minnesota, reader who contributed the recipe. "It takes only about 5 minutes to prepare."
German-Style Peach Kuchen
German immigrants to the Red River Valley brought their cooking traditions with them, including recipes for this peachy dessert. We especially like this with cinnamon whipped cream.
Summer Fruit Daiquiris
Choose from peaches or strawberries and rum or orange juice for this chiller. Then rev up your blender. Our recipe includes variations with and without alcohol.
For another refreshing blender peach drink, try Peach Sunrisers. The drink gets its rosy color from cranberry juice concentrate.
Peach Streusel Pie
A buttery topping, with a hint of cinnamon, crowns this spectacular dessert.
Peach Pecan Vinaigrette with Spring Green Salad
Sarah Slater of Casa Nueva looks forward to fresh peaches appearing at her farmers market in Athens, Ohio. This is just one way she uses the juicy fruit.

Dear God,
You know me. Don't you? I'm not just a person on a bus or a
I'm not just another face on CCTV; or just another login
I'm me, and I have stuff going on.
Love life issues; bills to pay. Egos at work to deal with; an
overflowing inbox.
So please, give me strength. Guide me to focus on what's really
important. And help me make the most of every moment of this new
day in this new month.
Thank you.
Prayer on
being made redundant
'Redundant' - the word says it all -
without purpose,
surplus to requirements.'
Thank you, Heavenly Father, that in the middle of
the sadness,
the anger,
the uncertainty,
the pain,
I can talk to you.
Hear me as I cry out in confusion,
help me to think clearly,
and calm my soul.
As life carries on,
may I know your presence with me
each and every day.
And as I look to the future,
help me to look for fresh opportunities, for new directions.
Guide me by your Spirit,
and show me your path,
through Jesus, the way, the truth and the life.
Prayer for those remaining in the workplace
Life has changed:
colleagues have gone - redundant, out of work.
Suddenly, what seemed so secure is now so very fragile.
It's hard to know what I feel:
sadness, certainly,
guilt, almost, at still having a job to go to,
and fear of the future:
who will be next?
how will I cope with the increased pressure of work?
Lord Jesus, in the midst of this uncertainty, help me to keep
to work to the best of my ability,
taking each day at a time,
and taking time each day to walk with you
for you are the way, the truth and the life.
(for prayers for those worried about debt click here)
Lord God, your will is to bring hope and a future to all your
Trusting in your steadfast love,
we ask your guidance as we work out a household budget.
Help us to learn to let no debt remain outstanding,
except the debt to love one another,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O Lord, you have searched me out and known me;
you know my sitting down and my rising up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
You mark out my journeys and my resting place
and are acquainted with all my ways.
Where can I go then from your spirit?
Or where can I flee from your presence?
If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there your hand shall lead me,
your right hand hold me fast.
Lord Jesus Christ,
by taking human flesh you sanctified material things
to be a means of your grace;
grant us wisdom in our attitude to money,
and a generous heart in the use of the resources entrusted to
that by faithful stewardship we may glorify you.
Adapted from a prayer from the
C of E Central Board of Finance
© The Archbishops'
Let us give thanks to the Lord for his goodness
and the wonders he does for his children.
Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
bound fast in misery and iron.
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
He brought them out of darkness and out of the shadow of
and broke their bonds asunder.
For he has broken the doors of bronze
and breaks the bars of iron in pieces.
Father, we pray for the many who are trapped by growing burdens
of debt,
who see no way out, and who despair for their future:
give them courage to tackle the problems they face,
clarity in taking decisions which will turn their situation
and faith that, as they cry to you in their trouble,
you will deliver them from their distress;
God of power,
you are strong to save
and you never fail those who trust in you.
Keep under your protection all who suffer as a result of
help them through their time of darkness,
give wisdom to all who seek to help,
and bring them to know true freedom
in your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
We pray for the Church, that it may be a compassionate
community, ready to stand alongside those who suffer the burden of
Lord, in your mercy
hear our prayer.
We pray for those who work in government, finance and the law,
that they may work towards practical solutions for the problems
caused by debt.
We pray for those individuals who, because of their debts, feel
they have nowhere to turn: that they may know your presence,
guidance and peace.
We pray for those countries affected by the enormous burden of
international debt: for a just and lasting solution to the problems
they face.
We pray for ourselves, that through our choices, actions and
words we may daily live out our faith, and bear witness to you, the
source of all good things.
Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom,
you know our needs before we ask,
and our ignorance in asking:
have compassion on our weakness,
and give us those things
which for our unworthiness we dare not,
and for our blindness we cannot ask,
for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Isaiah 9:1-6; Isaiah 57:15-19; Micah 4:1-5

We meet in the presence of God
who knows our needs,
hears our cries,
feels our pain,
and heals our wounds.
Let us confess to God the sins and shortcomings of the
its pride, its selfishness, its greed;
its evil divisions and hatreds.
Let us confess our share in what is wrong,
and our failure to seek and establish that peace
which God wills for his children.
Most merciful God,
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
we confess that we have sinned
in thought, word and deed.
We have not loved you with our whole heart.
We have not loved our neighbours as ourselves.
In your mercy
forgive what we have been,
help us to amend what we are,
and direct what we shall be;
that we may do justly,
love mercy,
and walk humbly with you, our God. Amen.
May the God of love and power
forgive you and free you from your sins,
heal and strengthen you by his Spirit,
and raise you to new life in Christ our Lord. Amen.
Almighty Father,
whose will is to restore all things
in your beloved Son, the King of all:
govern the hearts and minds of those in authority,
and bring the families of the nations,
divided and torn apart by the ravages of sin,
to be subject to his just and gentle rule;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
God, our refuge and strength,
bring near the day when wars shall cease
and poverty and pain shall end,
that earth may know the peace of heaven
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Make your ways known upon earth, Lord God,
your saving power among all peoples.
Renew your Church in holiness
and help us to serve you with joy.
Guide the leaders of this and every nation,
that justice may prevail throughout the world.
Let not the needy be forgotten,
nor the hope of the poor be taken away.
Make us instruments of your peace
and let your glory be over all the earth.
Lord God,
you hold both heaven and earth in a single peace.
Let the design of your great love
shine on the waste of our anger and sorrow,
and give peace to your Church,
peace among nations,
peace in our homes,
and peace in our hearts,
in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
God grant to the living, grace;
to the departed, rest;
to the Church, the Queen, the Commonwealth, and all
peace and concord;
and to us and all his servants, life everlasting;
and the blessing of God almighty,
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
be among you and remain with you always. Amen.
Prayers for a troubled world
GOD of love, turn our hearts to your ways; and give us peace.
A Prayer for Refugees
ALMIGHTY and merciful God,
whose Son became a refugee and had no place to call his own;
look with mercy on those who today are fleeing from danger,
homeless and hungry.
Bless those who work to bring them relief;
inspire generosity and compassion in all our hearts;
and guide the nations of the world towards that day when all
will rejoice in your Kingdom of justice and of peace;
Two Prayers for Justice
ALMIGHTY God our heavenly Father,
guide the nations of the world into the way of justice and
and establish among them that peace which is the fruit of
that they may become the kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ. Amen.
GRANT us,
a vision of our land as your love would make it: a land where
the weak are protected,
and none go hungry or poor;
- a land where the benefits of civilised life are shared,
and everyone can enjoy them;
- a land where different races and cultures live in tolerance
and mutual respect;
- a land where peace is built with justice, and justice is
guided by love.
And give us the inspiration and courage to build it,
A Prayer for Mercy
remember Christ your Son
who is peace itself and who has washed away our hatred with his
Because you love all people, look with mercy on us.
Banish the violence and evil within us,
and in answer to our prayers restore tranquility and peace.
A Prayer for the Leaders of the Nations
O GOD our heavenly Father,
whose love sets no boundaries and whose strength is in
grant to the leaders of the nations wisdom,
courage and insight at this time of darkness and fear.
Give to all who exercise authority determination to defend the
principles of freedom,
love and tolerance,
strength to protect and safeguard the innocent and clarity of
vision to guide the world into the paths of justice and peace.
This we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A Prayer for Reconciliation
GRACIOUS God,
ruling the earth and its people not by terror but in love;
we worship you.
We confess that too often our words hurt others and our deeds
are selfish;
forgive us.
In this time of uncertainty and fear,
help us to love our enemies and do good to those who hate
in the name of Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Trunk Shows Boutique hosting fundraiser for TELI
Theres Lucot, owner of Trunk Shows Boutique, is donating a portion of sales during the July 22 Cupcakes & Cosmos fundraiser to The Early Learning Institute.
Katie Green/Staff
Times, they are changing, and when it comes to the way that area nonprofits raise funds, The Early Learning Institute is no exception. The organization, which provides programs and services for children with developmental delays through early intervention and early childhood education services, has shifted its focus away from black-tie galas to low-key happy hour events.
"We are focusing more on these happy hour events – they just fit who we are better," said TELI Executive Director Kara Rutowski. "They are more intimate and we can host them at different venues and locations all over the area."
On July 22, Trunk Shows Boutique in Upper St. Clair will host Cupcakes & Cosmos, a benefit for TELI. Cupcakes from Sweet House Bake Shop are on the menu, as are cosmos and special discounts to those who stop in to shop from 5-9 p.m. that evening. Trunk Shows owner, Theres Lucot, is generously donating a portion of her sales during the evening to TELI.
Lucot is no stranger to these type of fundraising events, and said that they do very well. "We can fit as many as 70 people in the store at one time, and we welcome anybody and everybody who wants to participate," she said.
The discounts of the evening are not being revealed prior, but it is a great chance to get a deal on the designer clothing, jewelry, accessories and gifts that the store carries while supporting a cause. Men are welcome, too – they'll receive a complimentary cigar.
The event is an open house – there is no formal program or agenda. "People feel more comfortable because they don't have to get dressed up and sit at a formal dinner. And, the structure allows us to meet the demands of people's busy schedules today," Rutowski said.
Rutowski said the fundraising goal is between $2,000 and $2,500 for the event.
Registration for Cupcakes& Cosmos is $25 and can be completed online at www.telicupcakes.org. Walk ins to the event are also welcome. Trunk Shows Boutique is located at 1815 Washington Road, Upper St. Clair.

"This is Walter," a knowing narrator informs us at the start of "Snowman's Land." We see a lank-haired, pasty-faced guy and learn he is a hit man. Because of an unfortunate misunderstanding in a men's room, he kills two men, only one of whom is the intended target. The other is an innocent pop singer. Walter's enraged boss then sends him into exile.
Walter (Jurgen Rissmann) recruits another layabout named Mickey (Thomas Wodianka) for the new assignment: to guard the boss' palatial building on a slope of one of the Carpathian Mountains. This inexplicable building, which has the look of an old hospital or corporate headquarters, is isolated in snowbound desolation in "the most remote place in Europe," where not even satellite TV reaches. Berger (Reiner Schone), the boss, dreams it will someday become the hotel centerpiece of a world-class ski resort.
Walter and Mickey, who have aspects of a dour, clueless Laurel and Hardy, arrive at the building after an incredible struggle through the snow and find it empty. Then Sybille (Eva-Katrin Hermann), Berger's wife, appears. She tells them the whole place is off-limits except for the living room, kitchen and their bedrooms. Then she heads off on a shopping trip.
Naturally, they explore, finding a swimming pool and an industrial-strength drug laboratory. Sybille returns after three days, bragging about an incredible orgy fueled by one of her designer drugs. Mickey sneaks one of the pills into her drink, takes one himself, and they engage in an Olympian sexual encounter in which it appears alarmingly as if someone will get hurt.
How funny does this sound? I believe "Snowman's Land" is intended as a deadpan comedy, with Walter and Mickey taking on aspects of the characters played by Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare in "Fargo." Unfortunately, the German writer-director Tomasz Thomson is more successful at visual composition than narrative momentum; would-be sequences of black comedy are too stretched out to benefit from timing.
Still, in its cold and remote way, "Snowman's Land" maintained a certain interest for me. The performances are ingratiating in their stupidity, and the plot involves a nice confusion of missing bodies and mistaken motivations, especially after Berger turns up with his ruthless Russian bodyguard and it appears Sybille has gone missing.
At first, Berger assumes the "slut has gone to another orgy with her arty friends," and he warns his employees to double their vigilance against the inbred, degenerate locals he imagines skulk through the forest, plotting butchery and thievery against him. Where these locals live and even whether they exist is a good question, although we may have glimpsed one slipping between the trees.
The film then subjects us to varieties of torture and double-crosses, and both Walter and Mickey wish they had never come anywhere near this godforsaken empty building and its sadistic landlord. I can see what Thomson is getting at and even sort of appreciate it at times; the movie isn't boring, but it meanders and loses track of plot threads. Any feelings we have for the characters is muted because they all richly deserve to die at one another's hands.

Layers of deep, dark fruit nearly jump from the glass in this exotic, full-bodied Clos de Tart. Crushed flowers, violets and spices develop over time as the wine gains its easy upper register. The tannins are..
Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "Perfumed and pretty. Classy and elegant on the nose, with currant, light vanilla and a hint of lilac. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish. All in finesse. Very impressive; could be the wine of the vintage."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "An intensely floral and highly-spiced nose is quite cool and restrained as it leads to powerful concentrated and very serious flavors that possess excellent scale and volume on the gorgeously long, balanced and focused finish. This is an old school style effort through and through though and while..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A spicy, ripe, elegant and admirably pure nose offers up notes of anise, sandalwood and clove that add breadth to the floral, earth and stone-suffused aromas. There is the same superb breadth to the rich, intense and tension-filled full-bodied flavors that possess excellent power and drive on the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Background notes of wood are discernible but stop short of being invasive as they still allow the restrained, cool and pure dark berry fruit and black cherry aromas to shine. Interestingly this is less overtly spicy as the Amoureuses at present though there is a genuinely gorgeous inner mouth..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A beautiful effort, the 2009 Pichon Lalande, a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, possesses copious mocha, lead pencil, unsmoked, high class tobacco, black currant, forest floor and herbaceous characteristics. It is a deep purple-hued, charming, surprisingly open-knit..
Cellar/Tasting Notes " A very floral nose also offers up notes of black cherry, pepper, spice and plenty of earth that continue over to the very rich, round and impressively concentrated large-scaled flavors that possess outstanding intensity and plenty of drive on the suave and seductively textured finish. While this..
Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "The blockbuster 2003 Haut-Brion (13% alcohol) possesses extremely high tannin, but that component is well-concealed by a cascade of mulberry, blackberry, cherry, and plum-like fruit. There is even a hint of figs under the blue and red fruit spectrum. While broad and ripe with a sweet, glyceral..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Rich, yet always elegant, this has raspberry flavor and terrific acidity that creates tension, contrasting with the opulent fruit. While it's structured, it will soften and round out over the next five years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "*A Top 100 Cellar Selection of 2009* A severe, austere wine that doesn't show its richness easily. The tannins are tight and firm and they dominate. Underneath is ripe fruit, the balance with tannins giving a foursquare, solid character. The wine is complex, spice playing with the fruit, some..

In light of the slaughter Colorado has witnessed, it seems a prudent set of requirements, but supporting this legislation may cost the governor his job. Along political lines, it was either hailed as a positive step or reviled as a "slap in the face" to Coloradans.
Looking back a few years, more notable slaps in the face would be:
• After bailing out banks and automakers, the taxpayer is the focus of "entitlement" budget cuts.
• Being continuously manipulated by my political representatives via manufactured crises.
• Voter suppression schemes.
The priorities we feature on the national stage are inverted. A majority of Americans (including gun owners, police chiefs and mayors) support background checks and limits on clips. Special-interest groups that prefer the scorched-earth policy have hijacked the broader dialogue we should be having.
The fear virtually all politicians have of such groups highlights the backbone of the governor of Colorado. He may remain in politics or transition into another career.
Unfortunately, the citizens of this country can't escape sour politics, which is the true "slap in the face."

Welcoming immigrants to U.S. has biblical basis
This week, Jews around the world observe Passover. Jews are taught that we must retell the story of our people's time in Egypt and to consider its implications as if we experienced it personally.
This year, our country is poised to take action on long-overdue immigration reform, and I believe that the Passover story is highly relevant.
In biblical times Jacob's family journeyed to Egypt to escape a famine that affected the entire region. Egypt had stockpiled grain under Joseph's direction, and was faring better than its neighbors.
After a few generations, Egypt's rulers forgot the circumstances under which the Jews arrived and began to fear them because they were perceived as being "others." The Egyptians inflicted cruel policies on them, including the unfair exploitation of their labor.
This experience is the foundation of the Jewish belief in welcoming strangers and the poor.
Morally, Americans should extend this teaching to those who come to the U.S. in search of a better future. But there are other reasons to broaden the pathway to citizenship.
Immigrants, whether voluntary or enslaved, have always been a source of economic and cultural vitality in our country. Today, the United States faces several problems that are a result of an aging population, and increasing opportunities for citizenship can help to solve them.
Increased legal immigration would be a boost to our economy. It would mean more consumers, taxpayers and young workers contributing to Social Security and Medicare to support those who are retiring.
Remember that Joseph, the foreigner, helped save the Egyptians themselves from the ravages of famine. We must not let fear blind us to the fact that our own future is dependent on the "strangers in our midst."

Easter's message full of hope that should be shared
"He is not here; for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." -- Matthew 28:6
Within the church world, Easter stands as one of the three most important celebrations (the other two are Christmas and Pentecost). Many denominations prepare for the Easter celebration with the 40 days of fasting known as Lent.

I was recently at a four-day industry conference where, during three out of the four evening events, the music for dinner was way too loud and there was no clear point person who could do anything about it. Everyone just complained or left the room and headed outdoors—or called it a night.
It doesn't have to be this way. Musicians get a bad rap, events suffer, and everyone just accepts it or gives up on live music at receptions and dinners. So let's fix it once and for all. Here is my four-point checklist to set up your live-music events for success.
1. Round up the bandleader.
On site, find the bandleader or DJ, the sound company, sound engineer, producer of the event, destination management company on duty, or whoever is responsible for providing the live music. If there is more than one of the above, include them all. I'm a firm believer in including everyone who is a stakeholder in an event, so they can all agree on a common goal. It helps all involved to support each other and I find everyone steps up a bit when the whole team agrees on and knows the expectations. What are those expectations? To have the music played at the right volume.
2. Define the right volume for receptions and dinners.
Ask the talent to play at a level where they can hear your guests talking. If the band can hear them, your guests will be able to hear themselves. I discovered this simple solution about 10 years ago after years of struggling with musicians. Two things happen: You actually have a way to measure the volume yourself (you can stand near the stage and check any time if you can hear your guests talking) and it also changes the focus and perspective of the talent. They become more aware of the reason they are there. The attendees did not come to hear them play: They earned this trip, or chose to support this event, or its cause.
3. Instruments only, please.
Unless it is a special presentation, theme enhancer, or short vignette between dinner courses, my recommendation is to skip the vocalist and go with instrumental music only during dinners and receptions. Vocalists send a mixed message: Should I be paying attention to the singer or to my meal and colleagues at the table? You can also ask a smaller portion of the band play during dinner. I will often rotate six to eight performers, using three or four at a time. It helps to keep the music softer and you can have nonstop music without burning out the musicians.
4. Turn off the PA.
Explain to the sound engineers that it is not necessary to "fill the room" with the music. If they try, it will inevitably be too loud for the folks close to the stage. My recommendation is to just turn off the PA. In most venues, the band will be plenty loud for background. In large ballrooms, a small amount of PA can work well, as long as the speakers are "flown"—that is, hanging from the ceiling—and not on the floor.
The best part about getting this right is that when it is time for the after-dinner entertainment, the band can really crank it out and your guests will have had plenty of time to chat and eat comfortably and they will be ready for it. They will be willing to accept and embrace it—even if it is a bit on the loud side.

It is safe to say that Daniel Ghita made an impression on fans across the world on January 28th, so much so that his status within the Heavyweight division has shot up and many are considering him to be one of the best, if not the best Heavyweight in the world. It was immediately clear to us that we had to pick Daniel Ghita's mind and find out what the future holds for him. The only problem is, as is in most cases, Ghita's english is not as great as it could be, so we reached out instead to his trainer Anil Dunbar to have him translate the questions for us and then translate his answers into English. A special thanks goes to Anil Dubar for making the interview happen as well as Karel ten Haaf for getting us into contact with Mr. Dubar.
Thank you very much, it was a good strategy that my trainer, Anil Dubar choose for me and it worked perfectly.
The evolution is still going on, this to all the credit to my trainer, Anil Dubar, as he is working with me two times a day since I moved from Romania to Holland, and every match I am getting better, getting used to working with him,so you will see me growing in every fight. When I was in Romania, before i meat Anil, I was training with some friends and it was not professional, but when I moved over to Holland three years ago and started to train professionally it began paying off as you can see.
Now that Badr Hari is leaving kickboxing I think that I am going to be the number one Heavyweight.
My main goal is to stay the It's Showtime Champion as long as possible,but of course I want to avenge those two losses. My manager, Simon Rutz was already busy with booking a revenge fight with Gokhan Saki, he made a good offer to Saki for the It's Showtime title on June 30th in Brussels, but sadly Saki refused that offer.
I'm really not sure, that is up to my manager, and if the offer is good I will fight anyone, anywhere.
I have some very good news about K-1, they are coming back this year and they offered me a new contract. Under this new contract I'll receive 50% of the money that was owed to me, so that is really good news for all the fighters in the world.
Before K-1 there was kickboxing and after K-1 there will be kickboxing, but I'd say that kickboxing really needs K-1. Without K-1 we are really missing something special in the world, so yeah, we would miss K-1 for sure if it didn't exist anymore.
If some organisation will give me an offer that I cannot refuse then I would think about it, but my main focus is kickboxing and to win the K-1 World Grand Prix.
I really liked watching Peter Aerts, he was the one that gave K-1 name the worldwide fame, he is the real legend of K-1.
My trainer convinced me to keep fighting, to win as many K-1 and It's Showtime titles that I could, so I will not retire any time soon, I will compete for as long as I can.
I really don't know, maybe teaching kickboxing, but when I eventually retire I will take a nice and very long vacation first hahaha.
For sure, I am the champion right now and he want to prove that he is on my level and can beat me, but I take every opponent seriously so I don't underestimate anyone.
It's Showtime in Brussels on June 30th, I will fight Frederic Sinistra because Gokhan Saki cancelled on our fight.
My favorite KO is the KO from the K-1 Final 16 2010 in Korea over Errol Zimmerman, with this KO I was the first Romanian fighter to ever qualify for the K-1 World Grand Prix Final 8.
Not really, there is enough of a challenge out there for me, but I would liked to fight Remy Bonjasky. He sad he is willing to do a retirement fight, so I am always available for him if he wants to fight.
My dream fight is with Badr Hari, but he has left kickboxing for boxing. There were many people talking about wanting me to fight Badr after I knocked Gerges out, but he has left kickboxing. Although, if he does come back to kickboxing he should be prepared to fight me.

Maybe nothing, unless your city/county/state contractor's regulatory board has a requirement that any work over a certain maximum must have a written contract.
So now what do I do to get the bill reduced, when the verbal quote was 2-$3,000?
Maybe nothing, unless your city/county/state contractor's regulatory board has a requirement that any work over a certain maximum must have a written contract.
You first should start by asking where the extra $2800-3800 came from? Did this verbal agreement include a cap? Sounds like not.
You start by not paying.
Move this to the well forum and ask what it should cost with all the parameters included.
quote; ask what it should cost with all the parameters included.
One of the easiest jobs is to say how much it SHOULD have cost AFTER the job is done. I always tell customers who ask it that there is NO WAY I can tell them, because I was not there when it was done to see what difficulties they ran into.
The first guy came out to see why we had no water, and then told us that it would be 2-$3000 depending on how tough it was to get to. Then they proceeded to fry 2 more pumps because they now say the power line to it was bad. This is the same company who put the power line to the pump from our controller in the first place. $3200 of the $5802 was labor. They are so happy for us that the pump company took the fryed pumps back with out charging us! It is not our fault that they took so long working on the wrong thing or that the power line was bad. I am just hoping that someone has an idea about who I can go to about this extra labor charge, isn't there some kind of law to protect me because I was trusting?
Yes, the law is that you dont pay, you document the flaws with an inspector, then if need be you go to small claims court or negotiate a settlement. You can wire a whole house for his labor charge.
How much wire, what size? You dont pay for WRONG work by dopes. And you dont fry ANY pump because you test voltage at start up FIRST.
Times are hard. Contractors are starving, lots of people getting fleeced.
This could end up as an expensive lesson for you; Never allow someone to perform work without a written contract that includes a not to exceed without written permission clause. Now that you are in this situation, like ballvalve said don't pay it. Make him go to court and prove why he is owed so much money.
