Jelly Belly Ads Sweet Heat to its Candy
- Category: New Food Products
- Product Type: Candy & Confectionary
- Manufacturer: Jelly Belly Candy Co.
The Jelly Belly Candy Company, Fairfield, Calif., adds sweet heat to the menu with hot sauce-flavored jelly beans. The candy makers set out to develop a flavor so authentic that they sourced genuine Tabasco brand seasoning from the 140-year-old recipe made by McIlhenny Company of Louisiana, which combines the pungent taste of red peppers, Avery Island salt and distilled vinegar. This profile, coupled with subtle sweetness undertones from the jelly bean itself, promises to ignite the taste buds with a peppery punch that hot sauce fans crave.
A 16-oz. bag of Tabasco Jelly Belly Jelly Beans has a suggested retail price of $8.99.

First Drive: 2009 Chevrolet Traverse
by Sam Abuelsamid (RSS feed) on Jun 30th, 2008 at 12:00PM
At the Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet rolled out the fourth and hopefully final member of its Lambda crossover family, the new Traverse. By the way, according to Chevrolet the proper pronunciation puts the emphasis on the second syllable. Like its Saturn, GMC and Buick siblings, the new Traverse is a full-size vehicle that is almost the same size as the Tahoe. That means it has seating for up to eight occupants, although three in the last row is a bit of a squeeze. GM invited the media out to its Milford Proving Ground last week for a first drive of the Traverse, which of course we... Read More

Dollar General believes learning to read, receiving your GED®, or learning the English language is an investment that opens doorways for personal, professional, and economic growth. That is why our commitment to literacy remains strong. It is the one gift that no one can take away – the one gift that lasts a lifetime.
The Dollar General Literacy Foundation is celebrating over 20 years of helping individuals learn to read, prepare for the GED, or learn English. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded more than $97 million to nonprofit organizations and schools that have helped more than 5.8 million individuals advance their literacy and basic education skills.
The Children's Defense Fund Freedom Schools® program provides summer and after-school enrichment through an Integrated Reading Curriculum that serves children and families through five essential components: high quality academic enrichment; parent and family involvement; civic engagement and social action; intergenerational leadership development; and nutrition, health, and mental health supports.
This summer, CDF Freedom Schools partners plan to serve 12,500 children at 201 program sites in 87 cities and 27 states and the District of Columbia. These safe learning spaces for children are helping to replace the hopeless cycle of illiteracy, low graduation rates and limited futures with high expectations and a path to high school and college graduation and an opportunity to reach their God-given potential.
For the past five years the Dollar General Literary Fund has supported the CDF Freedom Schools program and helped to stem summer learning loss for thousands of children across the country, including in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2013, a five-year study of children enrolled at Charlotte CDF Freedom Schools sites conducted by the University of North Carolina, Charlotte found that over 90 percent of participating children showed no summer learning loss, and 65 percent showed gains in reading. The National Summer Learning Association honored Freedom Schools Partners in Charlotte with the 2013 New York Life Excellence in Summer Learning Award for demonstrating excellence in accelerating academic achievement and promoting healthy development for low-income young people.
Young people like Kyla. When Kyla was in the third grade, she failed the state-required end-of-grade tests at her Charlotte, North Carolina elementary school. Her grandmother was worried that summer school wouldn't be fun, but then she heard about the CDF Freedom Schools program, and she knew Kyla would love the program and learn at the same time. Kyla's principal agreed that she could participate in the CDF Freedom Schools program with the condition that Kyla retake her tests in the middle of the summer. When she did, she passed with the highest possible score. Kyla gave her CDF Freedom Schools experience the credit, especially the way the program is designed to foster a love of reading: "The stories we read in Freedom School, I could relate to, and we got to keep our books at the end of each week so I could read them again at home."
Since 1995, more than 113,000 children in grades preK-12 have had a CDF Freedom Schools experience. College students and recent graduates are trained as Servant Leader Interns to deliver the Integrated Reading Curriculum. More than 13,000 Servant Leader Interns have been trained and many have gone on to become teachers, principals and professors.
Learn how you can make a difference with the Children's Defense Fund and the CDF Freedom Schools program by visiting the website www.childrensdefense.org.
The Dollar General Literacy Foundation, in partnership with the Ad Council, created a series of pep talks to help encourage individuals to get their GED or high school equivalency. To view the celebrity pep talks, click on the visit yourged.org button below. If you don't need a pep talk, you just need to know where to go to get help preparing for the high school equivalency or GED test, click the find a program button below.

Yea, and the prophet Lore looked upon his apprentices and said unto them;
"(540) Defense isn't really a goal or an end that you should reach - it's not a peak - it's a MINIMUM"
Check Vene's site at TankingTips.com - A guide to tanking as a Warrior in World of Warcraft for the 'How good is defense' posts. Defense gives almost - and I mean almost as much avoidance as dodge does - even after reaching 'crit immunity' at 540 Def Skill.
You need to refer to Crit immunity, not defense Cap. Cap implies that after reaching that 'Cap' you gain no extra benefit from that stat. Which is wrong in this case.

Getting The Kitchen To Work Smarter, Not Harder
"…Definitive kitchen components. Made by hand." – Sub-Zero/Wolf
I have always been taught not to judge a book by it's cover and for good reason. In doing so, a person could misjudge a person or misinterpret a situation. But I have found that old adage holds true to certain aspects of life and not so much in others. Take, for instance, the Caesarstone countertops in the kitchen of the Rocky River Green Home. Caesarstone's decadent "book covers" are a masterful glimpse into what this kitchen holds within its pages.
While most modern countertops are made from granite or marble, Caesarstone counters are comprised of 93% quartz – a highly renewable source in our environment, blended to an immaculate finish. The sleek white counters not only brighten the RRGH kitchen but provides a wide-open feel for creating culinary magic. Caesarstone's countertops are highly resistant to stains and scratches ensuring the investment made in these counters will be a long read.
Like the counters, the appliances in the RRGH kitchen only add to the plot with the cornerstone of almost every kitchen being the refrigerator. The fridge is the go-to spot for every kitchen, so why not make it as efficient as the rest of the house? Most refrigerators today offer a wide range of standard features – water and ice dispensed right through the door along with built-in water filtration systems. For the Fischbacks, standard just wasn't enough. These appliances needed to think smarter than their predecessors so the environment didn't have to work harder. They took the phrase working smarter to heart and found a company with a similar vision in Sub-Zero – a Madison, Wisconsin-based company who's been manufacturing premium refrigerators for over 70 years. In looking at Sub-Zero's collection of models, the Fischback's felt the BuiltIn Refrigerators were exactly what the RRGH needed to achieve maximum quality and freshness while using less resources to do so.
The BuiltIn refrigerator looks at past refrigeration and improves the weaknesses. Refrigerators of the past used a single compressor that cools both the fridge and the freezer, causing a mixing of airflow while using twice as much energy. The BuiltIn fridges use dual compressors to create two different climate types on either side of the refrigerator. On the freezer side, the air is glacial and dry, essential for keeping frozen goods fresh without the burn. On the fridge side, the air is cool and humid, perfect for keeping veggies farm fresh.
If dual air compression wasn't techy enough, then would you believe Sub-Zero went to NASA to incorporate an antimicrobial air purification system? The purification system cleans the fridge's air flow of "mold, bacteria, viruses, and ethylene, a gas naturally emitted by foods such as apples that hastens spoilage," according to Sub-Zero's website.
If the BuiltIn refrigerator is on the tech-savvy side of things, then the Sub-Zero wine storage unit is definitely on the suave side of life. With a 78 bottle capacity, the in-wall mini cellar keeps wines chilled with the use of a digital thermostat which controls the temperature of the cooler and it's three food storage units independently. Being able to control temperature down to the single Fahrenheit keeps any wine at it's peak without the risk of spoilage. Protecting against temperature fluctuation isn't the only hazard the Sub-Zero wine storage unit fights against. What a lot of us don't realize is humidity, vibration and exposure to light are all hazards as well. Tinted glass, shock-absorbing shelves and oxidation control are all threats Sub-Zero have taken into account, without the help of NASA.
As there are always two covers to every book, so is the same with the kitchen. The one side keeps things cool while the other, heats things up and no one knows the heat of a kitchen better than Wolf. Wolf has been the leading expert in kitchen equipment for close to 70 years (sound familiar?), which is why they can be found in restaurants and hotels around the world. One of those kitchens just happens to be the RRGH.
The Wolf company name can be found on everything in the RRGH kitchen from the 5-burner cooktop system to the 30" E-series wall oven that circulates air around the oven for an even, balanced cooking experience. But the bestseller in this kitchen is Wolf's Wall Convection Steam Oven, combining the best features of a typical convection oven and the power and precision of steaming.
The power of steaming is beginning to catch on with some of the biggest chefs today and why keep something so good a secret? Wolf has made steaming as easy as regular cooking but with Michelin Star-style foods and has brought it to Rocky River. These culinary contraptions cook meat and fish to perfection without drying, keeps nutrients inside veggies and can create beautiful looking deserts and bakery-style breads. It even takes the microwave out of reheating leftovers.
"It is really all we use now if we need the oven," rejoiced homeowner Beverly Maloney-Fischback. "(We) absolutely love the way it cooks fish dishes."
Caesarstone, Sub-Zero and Wolf have all stood the test of time, figuratively and literally, and the proof is in their products. Fusing sleek, simple design with technology good enough for the space program, these companies are today's Hemingway's of the modern day kitchen.Tags: design, eco-friendly, energy-efficient, Green home, green manufacturing, studies and research

Worst Company I've Had The "Pleasure" Of Working With
Posted by
HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT -- I have been with this company for four years and for the past two I have had nothing but problems. It started with a minor accident almost two years ago with the total amount paid out of $1800. I had already paid more than that just in premiums. They were extremely stingy with the rental car which is a benefit I pay for in my policy. Since that point I had nothing but 3 minor traffic tickets. One was 01/01/10 and the other two were very early in 2008. On Easter of 2010 I was rear-ended by another driver. I was the front car in a three car accident. None of the accident was my fault and my company did not have to pay out a dime. They did nothing but make that process a pain in the neck. The next round came when we bought our first house. It was supposed to be a hassle free process with everything taken care of and guess who stepped in to make it a mess. You guessed it, TRAVELERS. We closed on our house and had all the paperwork we needed including the insurance binder from Travelers with the account number our closing agent was supposed to send our first year of premiums for the homeowners insurance to. Well they sent the check but good ol' Travelers gave them the wrong account number. So our check was sent in and lost in the woods somewhere at the Travelers offices. I had to make more phone calls then I could count to get things straightened out. The check was mailed on 04/20/2010. To this day my accounts are still a mess. Because they couldn't find the check they posted my auto policy payments without telling me to the homeowners policy which you can imagine messed things all up. For months I had no idea my auto policy was not being paid in full because they were taking money from that and putting to the homeowners policy. Then when they finally found the check they split that and it didn't cover all the screw ups so again I came up short not knowing it. Then all of a sudden in December 2010 I get a $250.00 check in the mail from them which I found kind of odd. I called them asking why I would have received a random check from them and they said because they cancelled my policy. I was shocked. We had just paid them $300 for the previous months premiums. They lady said because we came up around $30 short for the auto and $10 short for the home because again they were shuffling around my money they cancelled the policy. They gave no notice what so ever. I asked her why we wouldn't have received a call or a letter seeing as they could send us $250 which meant all they needed was a few dollars to keep the policy going and she said she was not sure. At that moment I found out I technically did not have insurance for almost two months and they didn't feel it was important to let me know that. We paid our money and ripped up their check to make sure everything was OK. Now as a reminder we never missed a payment with these people. Then today I receive a letter stating that they are going to exclude me from my own policy or cancel the policy because of the activity I had over a year ago and almost two years ago. As I said I have had this policy for over four years. I informed they lady I would be cancelling my policy and reporting them to anyone humanly possible. I have never experienced this much disloyalty from any company I have ever worked with. I have two vehicles and a home insured with them I have been a loyal customer and never missed a payment by my own regards. I apologize that this is so wordy but I feel I must get the explanation out for why you should stay far away from TRAVELERS. I feel that since the date I signed up for the homeowners policy they have wanted me to drop the policies. DO NOT sign with Travelers. They will not be loyal to you and they do not care if they are at fault for anything they will figure out a way to make it your fault.

I had a sililar but actually worse experience with Travelers. They are the worst insurace company that we have EVER dealt with and we will continue to voice our displeasure with them on every venue that we can find. We have had coverage for over 12 years and on our first and only claim that we were not at fault for, they sh*t on us BAD. And even rewarded the uninsured woman with unrestrained children $89,000.oo! I was livid! http://www.my3cents.com/showReview.cgi?id=94998

Travelers Insurance lied about facts in homeowners policy
Posted by
ROGUE RIVER, OREGON -- I had a very large collection of jewelry components stolen at a home in another state. My agent told me to file a claim against my policy which would only get me $1,500.00 because the collection wasn't scheduled. [It was worth over $20,000.00.] When I tried to file a claim the handler told me it was too late to file, that it had been more than one year since the theft. My agent checked my policy and it stated I had 2 years to file. He complained and they took the case.
As soon as the adjuster, Jason R. took the case he called me and told me he was sending an investigator out. I was happy because I thought they might be able to find my items. She came to my house in the middle of October. She taped the entire time and let me tell each detail which I was grateful for. I foolishly thought she was there to help me.
At the end of October I was called at 9 AM on Saturday by Jason R. He told me that he denied the claim because ...I WAS A LIAR AND HAD FILED A FALSE CLAIM!!! He went on to state I NEVER HAD A THEFT AND I HAD MADE THE WHOLE THING UP. He added there were all inconsistencies in my statement to the investigator. When I asked him what in the world he meant he stated that I didn't even know the date the theft occurred, didn't know who took the beads, I didn't even know who had been in the house I was staying in. I WAS OUTRAGED. I told him to send me a copy of the taped statement and he refused. He hung up on me. My agent told me to file a complaint with the insurance commissioner's office, which I did.
Months later I received a copy of the letter sent to the insurance division. It stated a man named Matt did an investigation and I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE LAST NAMES OF THE PEOPLE I STAYED WITH, I didn't know when or where the items were stolen, and the police report stated I made up the theft!! I immediately called the Detective on the case and he was very angry stating none of what Travelers Insurance said was true.
THESE PEOPLE MADE UP A SECOND INVESTIGATION THAT NEVER TOOK PLACE AND LIED ABOUT ALL DETAILS IN THE CASE. I had no contact with anyone other than the lady who taped the statement at my house! I have never heard of anyone named Matt and NO ONE ELSE CONTACTED ME!!
My agent is now filing a complaint and I am going to my attorneys office. I will get the so called tapes and reports they refused to give to me, I have been around a long time, been a Detective for years, and have never EVER DEALT WITH SUCH BALD FACED LIARS!
This in not the end of this matter....don't ever buy insurance from TRAVELERS INSURANCE!!!

Homeowners Insurance Fraud
Posted by
GLEN FALLS, NEW YORK -- Travelers is blatantly and fraudulently denying my claim for hail damage to my roof in spite of overwhelming evidence of such damage.
In April 2008 every roof in my neighborhood sustained hail damage. All my neighbors (including the entire new townhouse development behind me) had to have their roofs replaced due to hail damage. Travelers admits I sustained hail damage…to the vents on my roof. They have even sent me a check for $232.55 for "repairs due to hail damage." However, according to Travelers, the hail was very selective. While it damaged my vents, it did not damage my shingles. I can only assume thousands of little old men in derby hats were out there holding their red umbrellas over my roof...but not over my vents.
Travelers claims the damage to my roof was caused by "heat blistering," a condition resulting from inadequate venting...even though Travelers contradicts their own assertion by admitting I must have vents since these vents were damaged by the selective hail. Further, heat blistering damage would have to come from underneath the shingles, not from on top as the damage to my roof. Three roofers have given their opinions that I do not and could not have heat blistering, that the damage is due to hail.
I have submitted to Travelers 2 estimates from reputable roofing companies in this area which estimates assert that the damage to my roof was caused by hail, but Travelers continues to deny my claim.
I am a senior citizen, female and single. I believe I am the victim of discrimination. I would like to make contact with other people who have had similar experiences with Travelers with the proposed goal of a class action lawsuit for discrimination and damages. If you have been thus victimized and fall into the above-referenced categories, please post to this website.

Unfortunately you are dealing with a crooked insurance company. Your only hope is to report this case to your State insurance commissioner. This is the only way you can make them do what they are supposed to do. If more people would file complaints to their insurance commissioner about Travelers crooked tactics, they will change their behavior. This is the only thing they are afraid of.

Thanks, caveman54. I have contacted the Missouri Insurance Commissioner and will see if that does any good. Appreciate the advice!

GOOD LUCK WITH TRAVELERS INSURANCE YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
beendonewrong on 04/13/2010:
Travelers has denied my claim of hail damage twice and I did file a complaint with State Insurance Commissioner. They contacted Travelers and then sent me the Travelers story and told me to get a STRUCTURAL ENGINEER at my expense if I thought Travelers was incorrect. HAIL damage does not require an engineer. I had two different roofers (out of four)show up with Travelers agent (roofers who previously declared I did have hail damages) to reneg once off roof with agent. I honestly believe these roofing guys got something to say they agreed with the agent and save Travelers the cost of the roofing job! Why, because neither roofer would look me in the eye as the shook their heads and agreed that I had blistering and "some minor hail damage", but not enough to warrant a new roof at Travelers expense.
Before sending my formal complaint to Insurance Commissioner, I did an extensive survey of my subdivision, contacted and received addresses of hail damaged and repaired roofs from three major roofing companies, and went door to door for days to compile a list of homes with new roofs that no longer had signs out to add to my list. THERE WERE 50 HOMES WITH HAIL DAMAGED ROOFS REPLACED! I have photos of my roof,and my neighbor's roof (which did get replaced).Ours leaked in five places in three rooms and his only one very small area in one room, yet entire roof replaced makes me question what is going on here!
Do I feel discriminated against? You Bet I do and today I'm contacting an attorney and two more roofing companies for further evaluation. I would like to have a list of Travelers denied claims homeowners across this country to start a class action suit. Send me your story.
RoofSouth on 05/19/2010:
I am the owner of RoofSouth (roofing contractor) in Huntsville, AL and I have run up against the same problem as you with a friend of mines home. Let me tell you, the roof is pounded with hail and Travelers only paid $4,400 for a $16,000 re-roof repair. And now, my friends homeowner insurance is going up almost $800.00 a year because of this claim and another they filed last year for a downed tree due to a significant thunderstorm. What is the point of insurance if they are just going to stick it to you in the end. View our blog at http://www.roofsouth.com/blog/
kephers on 08/06/2010:
you can get an engineers report and if the report is in your behalf the insurance company has to pay up or get sued. Plus they have to pay the engineers report.
Forewarned on 12/05/2013:
I have just read this thread and though it's 2013, three years later, I'm heeding this warning. Was considering insuring home and 4 vehicles with Travellers but am now striking them off my list.
Tim W. on 02/03/2014:
I recently purchased a cabin and the roof was replaced as per the purchase agreement. Travelers gave a great rate the first year, but then refused to renew because they claimed there were "lifting and peeling shingles" on the south side of the roof. I gave them documentation that the roof/shingles had all been replaced the summer prior, but it was not sufficient. I had been with Travelers for five years prior to this, but canceled all my accounts after this interaction.

House Fire And No Help
Posted by
i want to sit on the lizzard
ALABAMA -- My home recently caught fire. I was asleep when my chimney caught on fire. It was in the middle of the day. I had only lived in my home for two years and only would burn certain wood in my fireplace. I am fairly young and did not know how often I should have my chimney cleaned... however I notified travelers within one hour of my house catching on fire, after twenty four hours of not hearing anything from them I decided to call them back. It took almost 48 hours for someone to call me back to tell me to use my deductible money to check myself into a hotel, which they would only approve for three days. They also stated I would either have to buy my own personal items like toothbrush, makeup, and other supplies I needed for a family of four or I could ask the hotel for assistance with those items since it was short on cash. One person at travelers did tell me I should have received an emergency check hand delivered by a local agent, but when my claim handler finally notified me two and half days later she said no we would not receive any money upfront, we would be reimbursed for any extra expenses we occurred out of pocket!! THANKS FOR THE HELP AFTER A TRAUMATIC EVENT, ESPECIALLY SINCE I WAS IN THE ER WITH SMOKE INHALATION!!!!!!!!!!
Therefore it is now four days after my fire and I still cannot get a claim handler to return my call nor will her supervisor do anything to help me but will defend his employee by saying she out of town... Well since I have nothing to wear or nowhere to live I guess I can wait for her to get back in town... By the way her out of town is located twenty minutes from my house. TRAVEL AS FAR AWAY FROM TRAVELERS INSURANCE AS YOU CAN. my two small children don't understand why mommy and daddy are so upset and why we can't go home.... thanks again Travelers/Gieco.
OK, so now we are back in home, we have no carpet on the steps, no furniture in the living room, we are beginning the painting and floor refinnishing... and just received two checks from the insurance company...over a month after my loss. what I really thought was funny, on one of my bills it stated that travelers insurance co. is there for you quickly when you need them???? well, I guess their one mistake was my family. OOPS, MY BAD! we received a twenty something page confusing discription of what should be done to repair the house and my husband told me our agents supervisor told me had the comment on here printed out and with him...(hey, I hope you and your family are comfortable in your home because you have not helped my family, unless that includes giving us more stress and anxiety after my house caught on fire...thanks again!!) also, if you have travelers which is through geico, you get a depreciated value of what it costs to repair your home...until all the work is done and then they will reimburse you for the smallest amount. oh, that is so helpful, my house just burnt, you told me my medical ins. has to pay for my medical bills, I can only speak with my agent when it is convenient for them, I get a depreciated value of what it takes repair my house, I have pay for my own expenses for not being able to live in my home, ghee I forgot, I could go ask a hotel for help, or call the red cross as I was told,I put up front the depreciated value to fix my house, and my deductible and then wait who knows how long before I can get a check for the depreciated value.
CHECK THIS OUT THE DAY THE AGENT CAME OUT TO MY HOUSE, NOT ONLY WERE THEY NOT TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE DAMAGE TO MY HOUE BUT THEY SENT ME A LETTER STATING I HAD TO HAVE A CRACK IN MY SIDEWALK FIXED AND A PATCH ON THE ROOF THAT HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 1998 WHEN A TORNADO CAME THROUGH, BY MARCH OR THEY ARE GOING TO CANCEL MY HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE IN OCTOBER. ALSO THE AGENTS WERE NOT PROFESSIONALLY DRESSED, NO NAME TAGS WERE WORN, OUR AGENT INRODUCED HERSELF BUT, THE MAN WITH HER THAT DAY, WELL, I GUESS HIS NAME WAS BOB. WHILE THE REPORT WAS BEING WRITTEN MY HARTH WAS USED A FOOT STOOL, AND THE TAPE MEASURE WAS SCRAPED ALL ACROSS MY FLOORS AND WALLS, LIKE I HAD NOT SEEN ENOUGH DAMAGE TO MY HOUSE I HAD TO WATCH MY OWN INSURANCE AGENTS DISRESPECT MY HOME IN FRONT OF ME, THEN THE GALL TO SEND ME A LETTER TO FIX AND REPAIR THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR YEARS...NOT TO MENTION A LETTER STATING MY INSURANCE IS GOING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS. ooooohhhhh, I FAILED TO MENTION THAT I AM HAVING TO WAIT FOR AN APPROVAL TO PUT THE EXACT SAME CARPET THAT CAME OUT OF MY HOUSE BACK IN IT? OK, I STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED THAT OUT, I THINK THET SHOULD BE WEARY IF I WAS TRYING TO PUT A DIFFERENT TYPE CARPET IN?!?!?!?

if your policy states 'reimbursement' then you won't get cash upfront. this is a feature one must verify before the policy is signed. look at your policy, and see what it states about emergency cash payments.

agent? they came out to look at my house 5 days after it caught on fire, when I would call customer service they said you must talk to your agent who by the way would not answer her phone.RRRRRRUUUUUUNNNNNNN IF YOU HEAR THE NAME TRAVELERS INSURANCE OR YOU MAY GET BURNT TOO.

I suggest that you both get lawyers.
Contact your state's insurance board and the National Insurance Crime Bureau.
Anonymous on 11/15/2011:
It is probably because your adjuster has already gotten 80 claims for the month! Typically, 40 is the perfect number of claims but Travelers feels that the best way to increase production is to abuse customers and employees alike.

Getting Reamed
Posted by
Traveler's Insurance got us to switch over to them and approved our coverage. They asked to increase the home coverage by over $20,000.00 We agreed and signed up. Well they send their inspector out and decide that to replace this home from a total loss will take more than $60,000 more than the home was valued at PRIOR to the market crash of 08. Talk about unrealistic. Funny thing is, it appears to be an industry wide tactic at the moment as my parents just got hit with the same tactic where their $60,000.00 home is now valued at $175,000.00. This is an unethical company that I am leaving and will not do business within the future.
To agree to coverage, then send a letter saying if you disagree with our calculations and do not want the additional coverage, please call - then you call and dispute their evaluation - and are told you have no choice but to pay the extra money. Just wrong. I agree to be covered to X amount. If the replacement cost of my house exceeds that amount, then guess what ... I assumed the risk. Any other act by the insurance company is frankly extortion.

A lot like the condo insurance co. I dealt with that would only insure me if I claimed at least $50,000 or more, of contents which includes absolutely nothing that is attached to the unit in any way (not carpets, flooring, cabinets, etc). On top of that, the original policy they issued "for $75,000" [exactly the words they used] turned out to only have $15,000 of structure coverage! Of course I found out when a pipe broke and caused $25000 worth of damage.
The insurance industry is crookeder than a dog's hind leg. It's important to note that they are seeking to reline their pockets after their huge (unexpected) losses on 9/11/2001 and to some degree, Katrina and the other hurricanes that year. Deal with insurance companies as little as possible and as cheap as possible, and for gods sakes, READ that policy carefully.

OKLAHOMA -- Tornado in Oklahoma this week and everyone is getting their houses repaired and their displacement taken care of EXCEPT those that have the great misfortune of having TRAVELERS!!!! Don't, don't, don't, ever get Travelers insurance!!!!! Did I mention don't get Travelers insurance??? Neighbors houses are getting their new roofs in and damage repaired, but not us, no, we have damage and mold (plus my daughter has asthma and the mold is very bad for her), etc, but they are denying us whenever and whatever they can!!! They originally approved us to stay in a hotel and then a few days changed their mind and we won't get reimbursed for what they said they approved!!! And the list goes on!!!! I will be on a campaign against this company for the rest of my life!!!!! I have NEVER seen such poor service from any company in my entire life!!!!
I rarely complain about any business and I am understanding of mistakes and occasional poor service, but this takes the cake!!! Please, someone put this evil company out of business!!!!
I really wish I had read the reviews on insurance companies back when I bought my house, they are rated one of the lowest in satisfaction and one of the higher ones for complaints!!!

Finally an honest Traveler's review. I have been skeptical of the possibly of many "planted" 5 star reviews. Now the truth comes out. What happened in OK was truly devastating, the loss of life and property. You paid for protection and Traveler's not wanting to take the loss failed miserably. Your unfortunate experience has exposed them as the Toads who ripoff the honest paying customer. I'm glad that I dropped them.
Alain on 05/29/2013:
I second that, Ok4now! Travelers has deluged the Internet with phony 'compliments'. Now we are hearing from real customers. Travelers is NOT the wonderful company their fake reviews make them out to be.

I was going to say the same thing. This is the second negative Travelers review in a week. Glad we're finally seeing their true nature.

Cancelled Our Coverage!
Posted by
KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE -- My wife and I had bundled auto (2 cars) and homeowners insurance with Travelers in Knoxville for ten years. We have never made a claim or missed a payment. Neither one of us has even had a traffic ticket in longer than that.
We moved to a new house and gave Travelers our new information. Somehow they failed to activate the homeowners policy, so we were unknowingly uninsured for five months. They never attempted to contact me, and it was sheer dumb luck that I called about something else and found out.
Recently I got a traffic citation, and Travelers cancelled my auto insurance. "It's our policy not to insure anyone with a citation in the last five years" an underwriter told me. "We'll be happy to give you a quote in five years." Unbelievable! I asked if my wife's auto coverage would remain intact, and I was assured by two different representatives at different times that she was covered. Then they send me a large bill for changes to the homeowners policy... when I called they told me it was because our bundle had changed.
Screw that! I switched everything over to the new insurer that had my auto coverage. In doing so, my premiums dropped $1,200 a year!
When the new coverage was in effect, I phoned Travelers to cancel the remaining policies... and was told that we had no auto policy, that they had cancelled my wife's insurance for MY traffic incident in MY car. I was never informed of that either by word or in writing. So she was without auto insurance for two and a half months. Although it's all in the past now, it still makes me livid to think how Travelers lied, cheated, and abused myself and who knows how many other customers.

Let me try to understand this. For 10 years they accept your premium payments on two cars and a H.O. policy with no claims. This was pure profit for them. Then you get one citation and they cancel you? This seems extreme unless it was a serious violation. (DUI, fleeing he scene, accident with injury etc) You asked if your wife's auto policy would remain intact, wasn't this a joint policy for both of you? Why was she without auto insurance for over 2 months? You both could have simply changed insurance carriers immediately, even with a citation.
I have my H.O. policy with Traveler's but found their auto rates very high. For auto insurance I use Amica, eight years as a customer. Yeah I never heard of them either but found them through Consumer Reports being very highly rated. Used their claim service several times for not at fault accidents and their customer service is excellent. They have some of the lowest premium rates in the industry and have been in business for close to 75 years. Check them out for a low rate quote.

Glad you took the time to write an honest review about Travelers. You may want to report this incident to the Tennessee Insurance Department via http://www.state.tn.us/commerce/complaint.shtml
tnchuck100 on 06/30/2012:
I can tell you from personal experience that reporting any insurance problem to any Tennessee government entity is a total waste of time. They are in bed with the insurance companies.
Several years ago I filed an insurance complaint with an inch thick package of confirmable documentation and referenced state laws that were being violated.
All I got back was a form letter stating we cannot confirm anything....case closed. Government corruption at its finest.

How could you go without Homeowners Insurance? Did you pay cash for your home? My mortgage service company freaks out if they do not get the new insurance binder every year, on time.

CowboyFan on 06/30/2012:
OK4now - that is not profit. The OP received coverage during that period, which is what they purchased. Insurance works by a pool of people paying into a pool of money, from which those who have accidents are paid. Those premiums went to pay for other people's accidents, Travelers retaining only a few percentages for profit.
The fundamental basis of insurance is such that the fact a policyholder does not have a claim, does not mean that they did not get what they purchased: coverage. Thus, the op's money from prior years is not sitting in an account for them in case they have an accident this year.
The report uses the term "incident" but does not say whether that means the OP had an accident with citation, or just a citation. Obviously, having an accident can result in loss of insurance, based on that driving pattern.
ok4now on 07/01/2012:
CowboyFan: You raise a valid point. For argument sake I am the insured, you are the insurer. My auto policy premium is $3000 a year. I pay you this premium for 10 years ($30,000) and make no claims. Is this not profit? Yes you gave me coverage during this period but you didn't have to pay me a dime. You kept all of the money that went into the pool. So my $30,000 went to pay the claims of others in the pool. But as the insurer how much did you pay? Nothing!! Again other people's money paid the claims, you as the insurer made a pure profit. I'm not arguing with you, just doing the math.
CowboyFan on 07/02/2012:
OK4now - it is always other people's money which pays the claims to an insured in an insurane pool. The insurance company simply gathers premium from each person who is insured, pays off the claims, pays for administrative costs, and keeps a few percentage points for profit. The insurance company NEVER pays any claims with its own money, the money always comes from the other insureds in the pool. If it is paying claims out of its own money, the insurance company will go broke or out of business, as happened with hurricane losses in Florida.
The basis of insurance is not an individual account where the money is saved for that particular person. When you buy insurance, you buy coverage, so you don't take a risk.
Think of the converse: If you buy insurance for one year at $3,000.00 and have an accident with $50,000.00 in damages, would you say the insurance company had a $47,000.00 loss? No, because the money to pay that claim did not come out of the insurance companies own money, but out of the premiums paid by other persons in the pool.
C Epling on 05/20/2013:
I also have had Travelers insurance for a long time and I have all my insurances bundled. I own my own business and never had a claim and last year the rate rose $800.00 and now this year it is rising $4,000.00. I am furious, not only am I only working to pay taxes now the insurance coverage is taking the rest of my profits. I am working harding than ever and paying more, when will this all end. I just seen that Travelers had record earnings this year. I say lets all drop them and see how much record losses they can have. They are too big for their britches. We all need to revolt against them.

Travelers Insurance is the Worst Homeowners Insurance Anyone Can Ever Buy
Posted by
HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT -- I would like to formally make a complaint against Travelers Insurance, Corporate Headquarters as the parent company, located in Hartford, CT. My complaint concerns consumer fraud along with consumer disrespect, derogatory treatment, negligence and discriminatory practices imposed upon me by Traveler's Insurance.
To briefly explain the situation, I had a home owner's protection policy for rental property with Traveler's Insurance for an estimated two years. During the first 15 months I had not rented the property out to tenants. Once the property was Renovate I rented it in December of 2010. The tenants were evicted for non payment of rent shortly after they moved in. After gaining access to the property massive vandalism had been done by the tenants causing extreme damage and destruction to my property. A criminal report was filed. Travelers Insurance is not compliant with the terms of the policy they sold me. They have denied my claim using unrelated exclusions that were never presented in my policy and that do not apply to this situation. Travelers should not be allowed to create or add exclusions from other policies or from a corporate handbook and apply them to my policy or that of any other consumer in order to avoid paying on a claim. This constitutes insurance fraud. I was sold one thing and something different was delivered. Also if you check their sales and customer service department, along with the website, Travelers insurance marketing practices also lead to fraud in this case.

Take this up with your state's insurance commission or regulatory agency and see what advice they can give you on how to proceed.
Shakingmyhead on 08/05/2012:
Yes I work for an insurance company....You landlords HAVE got to start READING your policies!! I work with over 10 different companies and EVERY one of them states on landlord and homeowners polices that Vandalism and Malicious Mischief is not covered after 30 days of vacancy or the home is unoccupied for 30 days or more. This in true in ALL states. You just invested how much in to owning this property? Why do you not READ the terms of what you bought to PROTECT your investmet? I bet you you would have read the terms if it was a cash investment you made. Why would you not want to understand that?

Terrible Customer Service - Suspicious Investigations Methods
Posted by
WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA -- I am outraged by my experience over the past five months regarding Travelers Property Claim HPS4964. The claim is for damages caused by the explosion of a water heater in an upper unit in my condominium building. The uncontained water spillage resulted in serious damages to my apartment as well as to five other units.
Whereas the condominium building's master policy insurance assessed and partially settled some of the damages in two weeks, it took my Travelers insurance two weeks to simply show up and another five months to have a knowledgeable person contact me by telephone. And this only happened after I issued a complaint to a Traveler's VP, Eric Nelson, on Thursday, November 14th.
In addition to unacceptable customer service – including twice losing my receipts and contractors information -- Travelers tried on several occasions to obtain the terms of the settlement with the condominium building's master policy insurance from my building manager without asking me first. The manager refused to share this private information and advised Travelers to contact me.
I do understand the need for Traveler to investigate the claims and support the efforts. However, I find the act of trying to secure clients' private data from a third party unprofessional and unacceptable. I was outraged when Travelers replied: "This is a procedure often used by our insurance claim representatives, and considered natural part of the Investigation."
I have been a loyal customer of Traveler Insurance for several years through my car and home owners' insurance. I expect better quality service. Instead, I received poor quality services at a time when I needed them to deliver the service for which I paid.
I trust this complaint will be investigated and remain open to answer any questions.

A complaint to your insurance commissioner might be in order and you may want to hire an attorney to pursue action against Travelers.
S Pombo on 11/20/2013:
Thanks that sounds wise. I sent the a registered letter and ask them to respond within two weeks. If not, I will follow your suggestion.
Weedwhacked on 11/21/2013:
Do you really think "loyalty" goes far with an insurance company? They want you to keep paying them forever, and never make a claim! If you do make a claim, you are their enemy.

Travelers Homeowners Policy Does Not Cover or Replace Losses.
Posted by
MELVILLE, NEW YORK -- We filed the claim on January 31, 2013 for water damages to our Condo residence . Today it is July 29, 2013, and Kenneth[snip] Travelers Claim Adjuster has failed to complete Travelers obligations in a timely manner and they have also been totally dishonest or truthful in handling any or all claims. Kenneth [snip] will always want to discuss everything verbally because he can lie and promise things that he will not honor if it is not in writing. Do not trust or buy home insurance from Travelers

Thank you for the warning about Travelers. It wouldn't be a surprise to see some suspect 'compliments' about this company appearing in response to this.
Weedwhacked on 07/30/2013:
This site is always getting suspect compliments on Traveler's. They sound more like Traveler's directing the only customers they do good by to post on this site for publicity.

Midnight Castle 241 241
You're Going To Be Playing until Midnight! This is surprisingly a fun and addicting HO game. You are given goals to achieve by different people that are helping you get to the Midnight Castle. There are potions to collect keys and scepters to find and a whole lot of HOS which have to cool down after each search before you can re-visit them. You first accept the activity and then scour the HOS to find the parts and pieces and when the goals are met you collect the reward and on to the next. The good thing about this game is that although there are a lot of things to do, the tutorial is good and it isn't difficult to play. January 1, 2014
Excellent F2P Game This is, by far, my *favorite* free-to-play (F2P) game yet. It's definitely a quality game. Pros: + Superb graphics + Sounds are good + There are characters to interact with. + There's no energy component! Hidden Object scenes are played, then a timer starts until the next time you can play it. The waits aren't terribly long. + The social aspect of the game doesn't seem forced. + Crafting items is interesting, and you can unlock many new things to craft. + The game, so far, doesn't feel like a money grab. You can play it a lot more than other F2P games without running out of items that you have to pay real life money for. You can choose to purchase gems or coins, but it's not really necessary. Cons: - Hidden Object scenes get repetitive in the beginning. You do have to do the same scenes quite a bit, but you also level up in them after so often, so they get more difficult (which I like). - The game is a little confusing at first and certain things only unlock after you hit Level 5 and Level 6, so you have to stick with it for a bit. - The story is a little muddled. Other than those cons, this is a nice F2P game. It doesn't feel like other games that are in your face wanting you to buy coins and diamonds for real money, which is pleasant. January 7, 2014
Please Persevere Once I had learnt the tricks to playing this game and coping with wait times , I was addicted. The graphics and music are pleasing and apart from a couple of very tiny but seemingly persistent bugs the gameplay is fun and relatively challenging. A lot of players seem to get to a particular point in the game and begin to find it frustrating, my advice is change the way you play (slightly) and perservere - the pace soon picks up again. I have not yet felt the need to spend any real money and in general I usually do not like repetative HOS games but I honestly love this one January 23, 2014
Addicted!! I found this game to be highly addictive. I find myself going back to it time and time again. Yes, the HOG's are repeats, but it helps you to advance. Once I read that the hidden flowers were morphing, I was able to find them fairly quickly. This game is great quick "fix" for HOG fans. Really enjoying this game. I have loved this game and surprised it is a freebie!! January 21, 2014
Great game considering its Free to Play I was surprised that this game was free and it actually was not a bad game to play. It is not all HOS but most of it is. It does have a storyline and much better than any free game I have played. Definitely worth playing and downloading especially since it is free and a decent game to try. I recommend this game. December 21, 2013
Excellent,Pure Hidden Object Game I love this game !! There are a lot of fun quests,the visual/sound quality is amazing,the storyline is LEGENDARY! I recommend this game!! January 21, 2014
I am hooked It is an excellent F2P game and I love it although it is sometimes boring when you search for identical items or on same locations. The developers made great graphics, as usual I play now on lever 18 and can't wait for the update. You can have many friends (after level 6) and share gifts with them. I have over 100 friends. :-) January 21, 2014
Midnight Castle I love this game! The only thing I would change is more variety in hidden object searches. January 21, 2014
Midnight Castle Really enjoyed the game. Moves quickly and not too many mini-games to spoil HOS. January 1, 2014
They have to eat I am not good at writing reviews,and I am very direct.SO here it goes. I like the game, the creators of these games have to eat,no body can expect them to work for free esp.. in the USA. The game starts out kinda slow but so do all of them you have to build up.I finally found out how you level up you have to do the task the raven says on the left hand side. I am so tried of all the whining and complaining of these free to play games,poor people have a way to really play a game out now before all they had was the trail,there are some of the free to play games that think they will get rich quick such as singing monsters,I just delete them. I do this, I go through a lot of them and keep the ones I like (you need a few or a owed game I have both)You play for a few mins and then you move on to another and then come back later. I am a member of bigfish so I spend 6.99 a month min. They have to eat so I don't mind spending a couple of dollars here or there,and I figure if the game is good they will get 6.99 or more out of me before I win or get bored with it.( I mean lets face it we pay for a game we sooner or later get bored with it and move on,some I complete and others I get bored with before and I move on) But before I found big fish I paid $20.00 a game remember those days? SO if I pay 6.99 - 20.00 before I get bored then the creators of it did great and I bought some ones dinner. I am a miser people so I know what I am talking about when it comes to money,there is only one game I spent more on and I spent alot of hours with that game a lot. I don't think they will replace the buy games other designers will start competing except they will be for sale farming tales is one of them. You just have to budget with these kinda games,don't get carried away with I want it all here and now, save that for your big fish game credit,set back and enjoy the build up. I am all for both game types and I think this one is a keeper. January 22, 2014

Fernando Alonso admits he needs to up his pace in qualifying after finishing eighth in Japan and three-tenths behind Felipe Massa.
The double World Champion has not had a great weekend at Suzuka, however, it did appear to be coming right in the first two qualifying segments.
Alonso was up there near the front in both Q1 and Q2 only to fall behind in the final top-ten shoot-out.
Crossing the line with a 1:31.665, he was 0.750s short of pole-sitter Mark Webber and 0.287s slower than Massa, who was P5.
"Nothing," Alonso told Sky Sports F1 when asked what had gone wrong in Q3. "I didn't have a good weekend so far.
"I've been eighth, ninth all weekend and didn't find the pace.
"In qualifying I'm eighth again, so I'm not doing good enough so far and I try to recover some positions tomorrow."
The double World Champion, though, is not giving up a solid points-haul as he looks to help Ferrari keep Mercedes at bay in the Constructors' Championship.
"The top five is maybe something realistic for us. We need to overtake a few cars.
"But we need to also race a little bit thinking in the Constructors' Championship.
"We have Mercedes only one point behind, they are both in front of me so I need to finish at least in front of one of them."
