Posted by JawjaTigah on 10/7 at 1:31 pm to GangnamStyle quote:Clearly the 1/9 loss exposed *CLM for the stubborn and shockingly clueless blockhead he can be. And since the Alabama game, for some reason, instead of rising above, learning from his errors and moving on to bigger and better things with LSU, he's showing what appears to be a self-destructive determination to prove himself right by continually repeating what has now repeatedly been exposed as ineffective about his coaching style and offensive staff's coaching styles (when allowed to coach). This reminds me of the twilight seasons of Gerry Dinardo. It's not good for LSU. This post was edited on 10/7 at 1:33 pm Reply Back to Top |
Posted by airbornetiger on 10/7 at 1:35 pm to GangnamStyle what do you drastically change when going 18-2? the NC game was lost at the f-ing O-line...no QB would have fixed that. everyone is bitching about no passing game, yet we passed more than the Gators, so I just don't get the ratioanle. Perhaps catching very catchable passes or after a huge pass play don't fumble when being tackeled. these things change the dynamic. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by JawjaTigah on 10/7 at 1:49 pm to airbornetiger quote:Would you suspect any changes in coaching style just might help some receivers to learn the basics about catching passes and holding onto the ball? Would that be drastic? I'd say that if LSU's receivers began catching and not dropping or fumbling, the changes would be drastically for the better. And I'd give props to both players and coaches for the change. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by HMTVBrian2 on 10/7 at 1:52 pm to GangnamStyle This loss individually sin't going to do shit, but if LSU struggles offensively all year and loses 4 or 5? he's not going to have a choice. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by stho381 on 10/7 at 1:53 pm to GangnamStyle quote: different team and necessity. We have maybe 50% of the starters we had last year right now. We have a make-shift OL that is trying hard, but is not comfortable becasue of lack of experience at the positions they are playing. For CLM to run the offense he wants, he has to get the LB/S out of the box. Last year was last year. We had a system and personnel last year that scored 40+ points/game against everyone but Bama. This year injuries have pretty much put prevented that coupled with mental mistakes. In the past LSU has had bad losses. Some even worse than the NCG. We don't bring those up anymore, why do we have to keep looking at the NCG as if it makes any difference to the 2012 team. Seriously, the NCG had Brockers, Adams, Baker, Jones, Matheiu, Taylor, Claiborne, Brooks, Randle, Jefferson, Blackwell, Hebert, Faulk, Peterson, Joseph, and I am sure there were a couple others I can't remember. This year is completely different. If we ahd last year's OL, the offense would probably be completely different, but we don't so we are shuffling shite around and trying to hodge podge something together and win in the toughest conference in America. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by JawjaTigah on 10/7 at 2:03 pm to stho381 quote:Do you really ask why? But I'll offer some reasons why I can't get past it... 1. Because last year's team was last year's TEAM! 2. Because last year's team had already beaten Alabama in a bone-crushing OT win. But we won. 3. Because last year's team was ranked #1 for umpteen consecutive weeks and everybody knew it was legit. 4. Because last year's team, even when *CLM crammed JJ back down everybody's throats, still dominated the opposition every week but the first Bama game. And that one LSU still won. 5. Because the way the 1/9 game was planned and played was a total, absolute, complete, radical and shocking departure from the entire 13-0 season LSU had played up until that one game. The LSU offense did not show any life or spark; yes Bama is good, but we'd already proven in Tuscaloosa they were beatable. On 1/9 it was clear that nobody in an LSU jersey or on the LSU sidelines had faith in LSU's ability to compete. 6. Because that is a massive coaching failure, and *CLM is the head coach. And where does that buck stop? 7. And because this most recent UF debacle so reminds me of the 1/9 debacle that it's scary. That's why. This post was edited on 10/7 at 2:06 pm Reply Back to Top |

JJ had 3 seconds on most plays to throw the damn ball or do something with it. 3 seconds is an eternity against Bama and you cannot expect a OL to do much better. The game was lost when it was in the 3rd quarter and JJ basically ran over to a Bama defender and pitched him the ball. Lee got sacked far less than JJ when you consider the number of sacks per drop back (or however it's measured). Reply Back to Top |

Probably not but it is obvious he does not give a sh-t. It showed on the sidelines on 1/9/12 and it has shown all season long.

Even in the title game after the 1st quarter it looked like he just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. There is a reason this team has shown little leadership compared to last seasons and it all starts with how things shook up in that championship game. Les needs to prove to these players that game was just a fluke, but instead he's proving that game was the real Les. Reply Back to Top |

OtterBox 1000
The Otter Box is a low-cost investment that protects high-cost electronic devices and other important items that need to stay dry. This reviewer's first-hand account speaks to the value of owning and using the Otter Box 1000 in the outdoors. 5 STARS for durability and reliability. 3 STARS for recent business decisions (see final section of this review).

Sea to Summit Big River Dry Sack
Sea-to-Summit's 35 liter Big River Dry Bag is a voluminous stuff sack that is good for situations where keeping gear dry is top priority. While this reviewer is pleased with the product, he is left wondering why a bag marketed as "waterproof" cannot be submerged?

I used Innate's Mentor Storage Sacs during my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail thru-hike in 2011, and have used them on every backpacking trip since.

Mammut Ambient Light Dry Bag
Dry bag that transforms into lantern. This translucent dry bag is pretty simple, except for a small sleeve in its base. This sleeve allows you to place a headlamp in the base which lights up the translucent material turning it into a effective lantern. You can clip it inside your tent, or hang it anywhere. It works really well and is much better then a headlamp for getting changed inside a tent, or anything of the like. Full review

Heavy duty waterproof plastic storage bag designed for carrying items you want to ensure do not get exposed to the elements (rain, dust, snow, humidity, sand, etc.). This write up is a complement to the LOKSAK OPSAK write up I've also provided. I originally bought these aLOKSAKs thinking they'd work for my food storage, but the food odors were coming through so I ended up going back and getting the OPSAK for that purpose.

LokSak OPSAK
Heavier duty plastic storage bag designed to block odors. Can be used for food storage, trash hauling and dirty clothes. A lighter weight option for backpacking when you're more concerned about critters getting into your food than bears.

Ortlieb Snack Pack
Lightweight and waterproof food grade storage. OK, I have just bought two A6 and two A5 Ortlieb snack packs. The two A6 (passport size) are for storing fresh loose leaf tea and the other one is for storing fresh coffee. These Ortlieb snack packs are food grade plastic. They look the same as the Ortlieb map case. They have the same roll top velcro fastening and black and silver cord, which if you don't wear it around your neck you can take it off and save about 6 grams. Which brings me to the weight.

Dry Pak GPS/PDA/Smart Phone Case
Great little pouch for protecting your cellphone or GPS unit. I bought this item to use on my overnight canoe trip down the Delaware River this past spring. I wanted to protect my phone but still have it accessible to take photos or to check the GPS. It worked perfectly! I used the lanyard and clipped the pouch to the front of my PFD. I was able to use the touch screen through the clear plastic front and I even could take pictures with my phone still inside the pouch. I have a MotoX and use… Full review
Sea to Summit Solution Gear Access Deck Bag
Good deck bag for keeping bare essentials at hand. Minimizes wind/water drag over bulkier designs. I've used this deck bag in high-wind situations, where a more bulky design would have caught and created excess weather-cocking. The bag was big enough for a small 1st aid kit, beach blanket, and my point & shoot camera. There was room for some small snacks and a water bottle, too. There is an internal framesheet that keeps the rounded shape of the bag. This also makes it harder to stow-away, as… Full review

x The average starting price for a place to stay in Madrid is £43 per night.
C/ Marques Viudo de Pontejos N 7, 4 planta
Excellent 94%Calle San Bernardo Nº 55 Piso 1 Derecha
Excellent 93%beckyuittenboga We flew into Madrid and found this hostal easily. They sent me an email with directions which helped - but it is right off one of the metro lines. The receptionist was friendly, helpful and kind to weary travelers. Our room was clean and bathroom was clean too. The walls in hostals are pretty thin and you can hear a lot of what is going on -- but if you were as jet lagged as us - it doesn't matter. There is a TV (no English channels though) and free wifi. A great Kebap place is on street level and there is a grocery up the street. It is a great location and you can walk to the major sight seeing spots in Madrid (or hop on the metro which is super close).
tashana6 Great location! Very close to Plaza Mayor! La Latina district is defintely a good choice and if you choose to stay in this hostel you won`t regret it! Very lively area and close to evertything. Rooms are modern, new, clean, nice equiped...Cleaning lady cleans rooms every day so l must say that this hostel with great standards. Have fun in Madrid!

FALLS CHURCH, VIRGINIA -- I really wonder how inhuman can someone be?, doctors treat their patients like we are a bunch of animals, nurses treat everyone like we have no right to ask any questions!!!
How can we stop this???!!! Who should we need to talk and complaint?!
I really don't know where to begin with all the mistreat my husband and I personally received from Kaiser, but I'm pretty sure what I'm going to say is not new to all the people that have Kaiser Permanente as a health insurance specially Falls Church Center. Well, lets start on the calls...whenever I call to make an appointment or just to leave a message to my doctor it takes forever to get to someone that will redirect me and tell me that "in case we get disconnected can I have your number" so like always after 15 min the call is lost, after calling back and have to go through the same standard questions I did before, I finally get to the nurse who gets my number again and puts me on hold to wait for a nurse again... and again the call is lost, one could think that hey I gave her my number twice maybe this time I should just wait for their call...but after two days I finally got the call (this happened 2 times that I waited to see how long it will take them to call me back).
OK well I finally got the appt, got there 15 minutes early, btw I was having severe pain on my lower right side abdomen and began spotting since I was 6 weeks pregnant (3rd time trying) I was really scared that I was having a miscarriage, so once I was there I had to be on the waiting area for 1 hour so exactly 45 minutes from my time of appointment, when the nurse finally called my name I thought "thank goodness! its my turn" but she left us in the room waiting for the nurse for another 50 minutes, when she came in told me to get ready for the Dr and she left as soon as she finished pronouncing the last word... Well I was ready for the Dr, I was having really bad pain by now, after 40 min my husband went to the front desk n told them I was in pain, but the nurses told him that I should've have gone to the ER and that besides the Dr is in his way... They didn't even came to see how I was doing, one came after probably 15 min my husband told them, looked at me and told me the Dr is in his way...
I told her I was in pain and if I should go downstairs to the ER but she said "the Dr is coming just wait" I couldn't believe it!!! No one was doing anything!!! They were laughing outside telling jokes at the front desk...so the Dr showed up after 20 min, but it was a nurse not a Dr like we thought, as soon as she got to the room she said hi n spread my legs apart and told me that she was going to take a sample from the cervix for some test and she was about to use the wrong size of instrument!!!! And it hurt!! Besides she didn't even give us time to say something... so I told her that that wasn't the right size and she told me "but you have kids already, why are you complaining!" what!!!??? I don't have kids, this is my first one. I was so frustrated and upset... Well she finally changed instruments and got the sample and told us the Dr will see us soon... At this time I was crying, hurting and upset, my husband was trying to keep me calm while he was asking her what are the tests for, why no one told us that, I was coming for pain not to check for Chlamydia besides we were tested before we decided to get pregnant both my husband and me...but she didn't pay attention to what he or I were saying...told me to get dressed go downstairs to the laboratory, get some blood test done and wait 1 hour for my results...but we told her that I needed to see the Dr for the pain...and she said "once you have your results come back here in 1 hr" so we went to the lab waited for another 15 min I had the blood and urine test done went outside to the waiting room waited 1 hr went upstairs again...waited another 30 min for a nurse to call my name, took us inside waited 15 min for the nurse who saw me before and she said "OK so why do you want to see the Dr?" I couldn't believe it!!
My husband told her what were my symptoms because I was so frustrated and upset I was crying easily...she said "OK go to Inova Fairfax Hospital to the ER if you are in that much pain" so my husband hold my hand for support and I walked out the room but before, he asked her what was the result on the tests and she said " oh yeah everything is good"...I left Kaiser regretting ever ever getting into their health insurance...I was so mortified. It took us 4 hours and 50 min to find practically nothing. I don't think even our pets are treated this way!!! I don't want to say that they treated us like that because we are Hispanic but that definitely came to my mind...
I'm very sure we are not the only ones that came across to this kind of people, but if my words can help someone, and/or prevent someone to get into Kaiser especially when they are planning for a baby, please take in consideration what I'm writing "Don't get Kaiser" you will regret it. Just to let you all know my baby is fine. I'm now 7 wks but not thanks to Kaiser nor the staff.
DENVER, COLORADO -- I was diagnosed in April of 09 with Stage III breast cancer. Little did I know, but Kaiser Oncology FAILED to tell me that the type of breast cancer that I suffer from is called a Triple Negative and is rare and aggressive. The one thing that they did right was to treat me with chemotherapy first (which shrunk my tumor), but they NEVER told me any details about my cancer. When I asked if it was estrogen positive, all I got was a "no" and sent off to chemo treatment. The oncologist always rushed us and never gave my husband or me any clear answers. When I finished my chemo treatments in November of 09 I asked what my prognosis would be. All I got from the oncologist was, "I don't know. We won't know until we do surgery." No support whatsoever! I made an appointment in early Nov with the surgeon to discuss my mastectomy and she "informed" me of what "they" were going to do for my reconstruction. No options...Just one procedure. When I started doing research, I didn't like the butcher job that they were proposing, so I asked questions. The surgeon told me that I could not have breast implants as I was to have radiation and they couldn't do tissue expanders due to radiated skin. I kept asking questions, which started to tick her off. I asked for a consult with the plastic surgeon and he told me that tissue expanders would not work with radiated skin (he had spoken with the surgeon prior to my visit). When I asked about the TRAM flap procedure (a tummy tuck and use of abdominal muscles for breast reconstruction), I said that I would look like a patchwork quilt and he said "yes" without any hesitation! He treated me like crap. My husband asked if there was anyone in Colorado that did do breast implants and he thought that there was "some guy up North". My current plastic surgeon (NOT related to Kaiser) is a half a block to the south and has been doing breast implants on radiated skin for years! The Kaiser plastic surgeon then asked me if we had any other questions, told us that he was late for his next appt (which he was late for mine and didn't give me the full hour I was promised) and then told us (very sarcastically) "Good luck". I went to work the next day, made appointments with a new plastic surgeon, a new oncologist and had a referral to a new general surgeon. I then switched my insurance to United Health Care (thank God for open enrollment). I then finished my chemo on the 23rd of Nov. I visited the radiologist oncologist (through Kaiser) and he said the same thing...Can't do breast implants with radiated skin and then proceeded to give me information for support groups and counseling (which I NEVER got since I was first diagnosed...Too little too late). I went home and cancelled my surgery for December. The general surgeon was such a chicken that she didn't want to call and find out for herself why I had cancelled; she waited for her nurse to get back from vacation (over a week later) to call and grill me. Then she had the oncologist call and grill me some more. I told them that I had switched insurances and that I would not be having surgery until after the first of the year. I am very happy to report that I had a double mastectomy on Feb 10th and I have been given such EXCELLENT treatment by United Health Care. They have called me and referred me for counseling and checked on me frequently. Kaiser is the worst possible place to be treated for cancer (in Denver, at least). I have had two other women come to me to discuss their breast cancer treatment with Kaiser and neither one has been good. Enough is enough!
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- Kaiser mishandled my father's last week of life and the process leading up to this. They violated their pain management care claim as stated in their handbook which is basically false advertising and misrepresentation of what actually goes on once inside chaotic Kaiser care. My father suffered a very painful death all because of their lack of urgency, lack of prescribing the correct pain medication and many other incidences that were not monitored by my father's oncologist and medical team. Once on hospice the hospice nurses were negligent in effectively monitoring my father's pain and he basically was bleeding to death from his rectum. At one point I called "Gio" on Santa Teresa hospital's supervisor line. Gio said that he could not get a hospice nurse out to see my father for another 3 hours. This is while my father lay there bleeding profusely in pain. It took a call to my father's attorney and a threat to sue for Kaiser to get a hospice nurse to my father sooner and to get him situated and prepared to die with dignity. Should people have to do this to get healthcare staff to do their jobs?
Next, my brother also was recently diagnosed with colon cancer and wanted specific information about his upcoming surgery. Kaiser states this and on Dr. Wright's (his former surgeon's) website he clearly states how he likes to ease the comfort of his patients as surgery can be a daunting experience. Dr. Wright had misread my brother's chart on more than one occasion, and later with specifics about the surgery. This was a concern so more questions were asked of this Dr. to ease my brother's mind about the procedure. After a few hours Dr. Wright called my brother stating it be best that he have another surgeon perform this procedure. What kind of doctor doesn't have the integrity to finish what he started? What a loser to just walk away at the last minute when he is just being asked to do his job and ease the patient's mind for an upcoming procedure. Providing more information is too much sweat off of Wright's brow? Wright is clearly Wrong just as my father's oncologist Dr. Kwong was wrong. Fascinating how the names connect so well with these experiences. It's easy to make jokes of the care or lack of, at Kaiser. They must take the rejects from more reputable healthcare groups. I don't have Kaiser and I will not lower myself to a place which operates below standard. I am fortunate I have a choice.
I will surely stand up for family and friends who have Kaiser. They are easy to outsmart and not very bright, and quite irresponsible to just name a few....and these are their good qualities.
PANORAMA CITY VOLUNTEER, CALIFORNIA -- Volunteer abuse-humiliation-baited- here is the rsvp from the CEO- a letter from the legal dept threatening me with retaliation-revenge actually 6-17-12 should you have proof that what I have reported is untrue submit by noon June 21,2012 or this will be posted as promisedif you disagree now is the time to say so KP has had over 8 months to investigate-now it is your turn to be investigated-sorry it is your choice.
Ceo have you lost control of your company. Do you have any respect for victims of humiliation in your corp that are seniors & for 4 years and play with your job? I received a call from Gale, who doesn't know how to speak up or leave a definitive message. She said I was getting a letter and carefully do what it says??- Good bye good luck.
6-2-12 just courtesy reminderâif someone else reads this letter would you be proud of the handling thus far including your non response and why not, since volunteers have a right to know the abusers and good organizations that are safe? KP set a record in fines for confidentiality will CEO ??????? Have the same honor in violating a volunteer of 4 years civil and human rightsânot even common courtesyâyour choice- my job is done and way to lenient would you be so lenient with me Micelle was not- actually abusive. The end if you want it that way or not. Out of my hands comes June 4 week.

re: deplorable treatment of senior volunteer- "bullying" humiliation, Oct 17, 2011. Panorama City pharmacy n3. Sorry for this contact but hopeful of resolution.
This situation has no dignity or values of KP and surely embarrasses all of KP I wish to bring to your attention, numerous deplorable acts on me as a 4 year senior volunteer at Panorama City Facility. Especially arrogant attitude of managers to act equally for justice and to ascertain factual accounts and base a decision on the merit of the complaint or the employee's action.
In order to capsulize these events: I was set upon by Michelle, in pharmacy 3 n she followed and antagonized me in three separate instances and "screamed" in my face. Finally, she tracked me from the supply room where she pushed a cart into the shelves near me as I removed an eyelash clouding my vision and did the same while I read the bulletin board and finally to the other side of the pharmacy approximately 30-35 feet. She actually pursued me. She screamedtype that she lurched forward at me and lowly screamed in my faceâshe was trying to bait me into a fight with contact but I disappointed her--sounds odd but it's 100% true--just not audible throughout the room. Security cameras!! In addition I was in resource management and at least 6 rn's can vouch for my demeanor and even improvements, I made several suggestions that resulted in better archived files, more functional meeting room and accuracy of work file and pick up point for tasks for me.
Eve-ng- vol dir allowed a tottering older woman to have her personal dog at a KP Banquet where capacity was overflowing with over 500-600 peoplethe woman even tripped and fell into the carving station this is the kind of bias and mindless decisions that permeate KPunless you are chosen-
why bother you with such trivia well to illustrate the culture of arrogance that even includes managers, employees and gender baiting all sources have been exhausted. There are no scruples of KP that KP can be proud of in this activity
I thought KP had a policy of non retaliation and fairnessâit is not being exhibited to show you this. I stated that I would prefer to have the door open in the resources office as it has been for over 3 yearsâI was thoroughly screeched at by one of your director/a manager practically slammed the door KP is so blind to old volunteers as to miss this implicationof course you get itsuppose a young woman said that, what should the manager have done????? Enough my focus is on Micelle's cohort's aggressive and erratic/belligerent behavior in pharmacy n3
respectfully submitted for your consideration. Please by June 1 2012, appreciate it.
excerpt of my letter to KP editied for spaceever hear of a company threatening a volunteer attacked on the job with legal actionKP did-imagine I was threatened by the legal dept for reporting abuse-vol director is humorless, contentious and vindicative and is the CEOsee their responsenone???? Except more threats to me.
It's Funny over the last few years I have found myself using reviews more and more to help me make decisions on everything from purchases to places to eat and not once did it ever occur to me to complete a review myself.
So bare with me people, this is my first one. So it's 3 days before the end of open season I am going through the grueling process of looking for a new health insurance provider which I have done for the second time now and I am frustrated and annoyed because I don't want to switch insurance companies......
I have been with Kaiser Permanente for almost 15 years I have three great child and they have grown up with KP. I know that you hear so many bad news stories but this is a good news story and I just wanted to share.
Just like any organization or business you frequent all it take are a few bad apples to spoil it for the bunch and I have see 1 or two bad apples at KP but in comparison to the many great apples that I have seen at KP there are no comparisons.
My youngest who I will call my Miracle baby was born with more than a few medical problems but under the watch of KP practitioners who would not give up on him, 9 years later you would never know that he had such a rocky 1st year and they have been there ever since.
I took ill myself and the care and concern that I received from the KP doctors and staff has been amazing. Okay so like I said there are a few bad apples..... so my illness causes me to have frequent broken bones and on this particular evening I had broken my foot for the 3rd or 4th time and I was in the waiting room waiting to be seen. I was in pain my foot was swollen and obviously broken to the naked eye. I had only been sitting there for about 1hr. )-:
So in walks my doctor on the same evening who just happened to be sick himself and wanted to be seen for a very bad cough.
He proceeds to walk over looks at my foot and ask how long had I been waiting and immediately has me in a wheelchair and whisked off to get my foot reset...good apple.
okay..... okay.... I know so if KP is soooo great why am I leaving? I know that's my dilemma for the last two years I have been commuting to work and now the closes KP is 10 hrs away and my health is still an issue and I have been missing a few appointments. (not good!)
So it is with regret that I have to give KP up. I pray that I find an Insurance provider that have nurses that will stay on the phone with me until my questions get answers, that have doctors that call me back when I have a concerns. Receptionist that realize that I'm not just another body in there waiting room but that I am a person and finally an insurance company that gives me the care and services I pay for without sending me through a bunch of hoops.
That was just my experience with KP and for those of you who have not had good experience with them I hope you have better luck with them in the future. FYI I have visited there office in MD, CA, GA, DC,& VA .
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA -- My wife and I are life long Kaiser members and medicare part d participants, so you can imagine the shock we experienced when we learned that we can (and now do) get all of our prescriptions filled at either Costco or Walmart.
When I filed a grievance, Kaiser responded that these stores charge lower prices to get customers "in the door". Is not Kaiser getting millions in medicare part d funds? I am going to list the specific drugs my wife and I use; the price comparisons are based on prices quoted by Kaiser, as well as prices we are now paying at Costco. We require medications for blood pressure, diabetes and cholesterol. Keep in mind that any customer at Costco can get these prices; no special membership is required other than what all customers are required to do to be eligible to shop there: please note that all drugs are the same dosage, and same quantity.
Price comparison of prescription drugs at
generic drug Costco Kaiser difference
1)amlodpine 8.32 19.80 11.48
2)Lovastatin 10.83 20. 9.17
3)Glipizide 14.36 20. 5.64

6)Lisinopril 7.91 19.60 11.69
Please note that with items 1,4 & 6, the Kaiser charge was twice what Costco charged.
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA -- I grew up in Sacramento, California, and we had Kaiser insurance my whole life. Back in those days, I remember waiting for literally hours to see my doctor... It was pretty bad, but it was also because their system was so completely overloaded... They had too many people for the hospital and clinics they had.
Now I'm all grown up, and although I work in San Jose, I live 60 miles away. My choices for insurance were Kaiser or a PPO that I would have to come into San Jose to see a doctor. I chose Kaiser because they have Hospitals and clinics pretty close to my home.
In the 19 years that I have had Kaiser on my own, I have no real complaints. I have never had to wait long enough to finish a magazine article when I go see my doctor or a specialist. The longest I have ever waited was for a blood draw, but the lab waiting room was packed! When I saw how many people were in front of me, I thought I'd be there all day, but it turned out to be about 45 minutes.
My wife is an OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner, and she knows a lot about Kaiser. (She has never worked for them, but she does know quite a few nurses and doctors who do) She says that she likes Kaiser because it's so convenient and easy to get what you want from them. It does take a little effort on your part to work their system, but the Advice Nurse that you call into for questions or treatment has the ability to get you in to almost any specialist very quickly. ( A tip when talking to the Advice Nurse, you don't want to be macho and downplay your problem. Their questions are directed at you to screen whether you need immediate treatment or just a routine doctor visit with your PCP (Primary Care Physician) If you want to be seen today, there are frequently "code words" that if they hear them, they will schedule you for an almost immediate appointment... (It helps for me when my wife tells me to call the advice nurse, and be sure and say "Blah, blah, blah" But even if you don't know these code words, you can usually guess what kind of thing would trigger them to get you in right away... Say those things!)
I have had a few health issues over the years, and I can say that I am extremely happy to have had Kaiser. I got into a motorcycle accident five years ago, and I was in hospitals for about two months. The first 5 days I was in San Jose Trauma, and the bill from them was over $100,000. And they didn't do all that much besides dope me up and stabilize me... I had to have two hand surgeries, and over a month of rehab in the Vallejo rehab hospital. If I had the PPO insurance, that accident would've left me broke.
They just built a brand new hospital right at our little town's border, and it's really great. I have been to their emergency room twice, and the service has been excellent and very quick. If I was ever considering another job, one of my questions would be if Kaiser insurance was available. If not, I probably wouldn't go. :)
ATLANTA, GEORGIA -- I went in for an annual physical and was told there is no charge for it as well as no charge for flu shot...Okay, fine. I'm in the patient room with my 20 something daughter; we let the doctor know that I have been having some serious hip and shoulder pain (isn't that why you have physicals, to let the doctor know if anything new pops up?) So this woman tells us that she is a nursing mother and her lactating is over due so the appointment can't take too long; she only has 20 minutes scheduled for the visit.... Oh really, how nice. So anyway, she orders the MRI for my hip and shoulder and then I get a bill from Kaiser stating because she ordered the test, the physical now becomes an outpatient office visit. I called KP's financial dept and I am disputing it...What doctor tells a patient that they only have so much time for them...This is not health care.
Date: 09/07/2011
I left my primary physician at KAISER PERMANENTE the morning of only to find out after getting a physical for Life Insurance and in spite of my labs coming back PERFECT that based on the industry standard BMI Chart (Body Mass Index) which is a pre-determined standard on one's body fat based on height/weight ratio, I was deemed OBESE, and my life insurance will now by eye-gouged due to such.
So, back to the BMI, because I am 5'10" 214LBS, yes, they wrote me as obese. And because I'm this weight is in direct proportion of training 3-5 days a week of high resistance conditioning (last 10 years) as I'm TRYING TO GAIN WEIGHT in which the above mentioned physician refused to address in my permanent medical record; which underwriters all have access to, and refused to refer me to get an actual body fat test conducted.
Now, while one may think how innocent a BMI chart is, let me catch you and the rest of the world up-to-speed. The BMI is "Industry Standard" which Life Insurance Co. (and others) go by, and regardless if you were truly only at 14% body fat and in EXCELLENT condition, if you fall within the box you fall within, this is the speculative predetermined evaluation.
So, on ones medical record, this BMI which is complete speculation, is a fact on one's record all for a Life Insurance to go by, so they can further jack up one's premium.
Below is a chain e-mail between me and my doctor getting into it; as e-mail is the only way to speak with a doctor/nurse; which is something I've NEVER experienced. Christ, I feel like a care at a Jiffy Lube with these douchebags.

Your BMI concern does not warrant a referral to a specialist.
You can seek a second opinion from another physician. Just call appointment center.

You already made it clear that you could not deleate BMI! Am I missing something here?!
I said I NEED for you to note in MY medical report within the BMI data that the BMI is in direct relation to muscle mass/training and in no way related to obesity. Again, am I missing something? Then there's no need to send any letters out- it's all in my report/summary.
But we could too, and more sensably REFER me to get an actual test done from an ACE certified trainer or another physician/nurse as so to not "speculate" my true BMI. All I want, as well as the rest of my medical information, is to be ACCURATE.- LB

Dr. Chu, while I can appreciate your position with this, I'm asking you do likewise with me, and while you never put "obese," however the BMI score of 30.71 in-of-itself is an obese measurement.
If you can not conduct a skinfold test within your office, then I request an outside referral, or on your own fruition a note in these reports that I am athletic built; addressing the BMI diagnosis.

Dr. Chu, I am requesting that a skinfold thickness measurements, or a bioelectrical impedance test be done on me. I REFUSE to let underwriters for my life insurance (based on this ridiculous BMI chart which does not take into account athletes), use this information which is nothing short of preposterous.
My medical records are for accurate information; not speculative. Either remove the BMI info as "obese" from my record altogether or accurately test my body fat.

She's the model that every girl dreams of being and every guy dreams of being with but with that cutesy smile, we can't help but love Miranda Kerr.
The Sydney-born uber-babe began modeling at the tender age of 13 after winning a national competition and hasn't looked back since. She's fronted campaigns from Roberto Cavalli to Jil Sander and was most recently snapped up by high-street hero Mango, following in none other than Kate Moss's footsteps.
As well as many top notch campaigns, Miranda has dominated the catwalks and even strutted her stuff for Balenciaga when she was pregnant with Flynn, her first child with hubby Orlando Bloom. But, perhaps most memorably, MK has flaunted her super hot bod for the Victoria's Secret catwalk. No wonder she bagged Esquire's 'Sexiest Woman of the Year' title in 2012.
Miranda's personal style is just as effortlessly beautiful as she is. The model opts for understated yet chic outfits while trotting about New York with her family and when dressing up, is often seen working an elegant shift dress from the likes of Victoria Beckham and Erdem. Whether wearing a slinky maxi or a leg-flashing mini, Miranda's off-duty cool can't be matched.

Four major steps companies can take to ensure their products are made under humane conditions
Sweatshop abuses are a systemic problem - there are no companies that are totally clean or totally dirty. Every company that sources globally faces problems that need to be addressed. While there are many steps companies can and should take (and to a certain extent have already taken) to improve workers rights, there are no quick-fix solutions. In this guide the Clean Clothes Campaign offers guidelines on what companies can do to better assess, implement, and verify compliance with labour standards in their supply chains, and eliminate abuses where and when they arise.

What an old fashioned and fantastic game Levante v Real Madrid was!
It got to the verge of violence in the tunnel and we'll be discussing that on Revista, but on the soaking wet pitch it had tension, controlled aggression - although some people may argue David Navarro on Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't that controlled - and it had a Real Madrid which needed to impose their personality.
They did so by using different layers which some people thought were disappearing from the club: commitment, belief, aggression.
That came to the fore because it needed to and they won 2-1. It was a great test of personality for Real Madrid and I love the fact Jose Mourinho said at the end 'winter exists', meaning it was rainy, it was difficult to play in and it affects teams with more technical ability, but you have to play in it.
Real Madrid needed to impose their personality and did so by using different layers which some people thought was disappearing from the club: commitment, belief, aggression. nn
Guillem Balague
Quotes of the week
It was also another display of Levante, a club based on the experience of the players, a very good transfer policy and clever managing of the smallest budget in La Liga. So well done both of them.
In the case of Barcelona we saw some more ups and downs. We saw a Barcelona side more similar to the Dream Team than Pep Guardiola's team, with Lionel Messi as the man who wants to break all the records, not just the collective ones but the individual ones as well.
However, it's worrying that Sergio Busquets said after the game they are trying to get Messi to beat Gerd Muller's record of 85 goals in a calendar year.
Messi's currently nine goals behind but thinking about that makes them forget what their priority should be. They should be looking for a more balanced team, which we're still not seeing at Barcelona, partly because they don't have their regular centre-backs and the team is defending very badly as a collective as well.
The team is still too stretched and sometimes they lose a little focus, which, although it's understandable when they're 3-0 up, didn't happen two years ago.
So, there's still room for improvement but statistically they are the best Barcelona in history in the league. That's interesting because the impression I've felt is this Barcelona isn't as good as the Barcelona two years ago - but better than last year, and different.
Tito Vilanova is managing to evolve the team; sometimes it is Xavi's Barcelona, sometimes it is Cesc's Barcelona.
Guillem answers your questions...
Got a question for Guillem? Then send it firstname.lastname@example.com or use the feedback form below, and then look out for his answer next week.
Hi Guillem, I was wondering what your take is on Osasuna's start to the season? After a few good years and some solid displays at the end of last season, it feels like we're going backwards! How much of a loss were Javad Nekounam and Raul Garcia?Sam Page
GUILLEM SAYS: They beat my Espanyol so that was a good result for them! Osasuna is a team financially punching above their weight, so they decided to reduce the wages of some of the players. The ones who didn't want to reduce their wages left, including Nekounam, although Raul Garcia was on loan from Atletico. Yes, they were massive names to leave but Osasuna is finding the place it should be in. They need a bit more stability on the pitch with but, in any case, fighting for relegation is perhaps where Osasuna has to be, given the investment and money they have at the moment.
Hi Guillem, I think Barca were a more complete side and played their best football when they had Samuel Eto'o down the middle and Leo Messi on the wing. Your thoughts? Oliver Aspey
GUILLEM SAYS:It is funny you should say that, Oliver. As I explain in my Pep Guardiola biography called Another Way of Winning, which is coming out on Thursday, in the Champions League final against Manchester United in 2009, Samuel Eto'o ended up playing on the right after 10 minutes and Messi went through the middle - and they ended up winning. From day one Guardiola had the belief Messi should go through the centre and, once Eto'o disappeared and after the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic was considered a mistake, a year-and-a-half after Guardiola arrived, Messi was through the middle. From then on there was no stopping Messi or Barcelona, so I have to disagree with you.
Hi Guillem, Juan Mata has made a superb start to the season and has, in my opinion, outshone both Eden Hazard and Oscar. Is there any substance to the rumours linking him with Real Madrid?Dan Lynch
GUILLEM SAYS:There's no substance to those rumours. He used to be at Real but they let him go for free. It was a mistake, but they're not after him now.
Hola Guillem. Do you see Jose Mourinho continuing as Real Madrid boss if he fails to win the Champions League and La Liga this season? Damian Mundia
GUILLEM SAYS:We'll see how season goes and how they fall in the Champions League and La Liga. It depends on how they do and, if they don't win La Liga or the Champions League, how their season is affected by injuries. But the impression I've got is that Mourinho has a stronghold of authority at the club and he'll stay at the club longer than people expect.
Hi Guillem, Do you think Rayo Vallecano can finish in the top 10 this season? Also, how big an influence do you think Alejandro Dominguez can have on Rayo's campaign? I thought he would be a big player when he was at Valencia but it never really worked out for him. Daniel Smith
GUILLEM SAYS:There is an interesting 'conversation' Paco Jemez is having with Scotland, if you like. He said he'd be ashamed to play like Celtic did against Barcelona. Loyal to his word he's asking Rayo to play a high defensive line, pressure high up and keep the ball - and he's doing it with the second lowest budget in La Liga, which is very impressive. They haven't got the riches of Celtic but they are playing how, as Jemez says, football should be played. That's the way Celtic play most of the time, but not how they played against Barcelona. Why not? That's what Jemez is saying. He thinks they should stay loyal to that way of playing, be offensive and give their fans a spectacle. It is an interesting discussion - what is right way of playing, is there a right way of playing and should you always be loyal to that?

Malcolm Bougard (Liverpool fan) says...
Hi, I am amazed that Barcelona continues to use a brilliant striker like David Villa almost as a super sub! This guy is a natural striker but must be so frustrated at being subbed all the time or coming on as a sub!! His goal scoring exploits put many an international (and more famous) striker to shame and it must be said, his strike rate has put Spain up there as the best footballing nation at present.

Manthane lucas Makhongoana (Liverpool fan) says...
It concerns me to hear that LIVERPOOL are looking for a striker,because according to me we need more than just one striker,We need players who can make an immedeate impact on our play,players who would provide depth heading into the second round of the league.My question is who is most likely to be signed by LIVERPOOL in january?
Posted 15:44 13th November 2012
Phil Lewis (Arsenal fan) says...
I'm not sure about Guillem's use of stats re the Eto'o answer. He says Barca have been unstoppable since Messi went through the middle. Not true at all. Chelsea stopped them, Real stopped them, Celtic stopped them. With Pep on the bench and Eto'o through the middle, Barca won everything they entered. At least Messi finally went wide towards the end of the Celtic match, something Barca should have been trying against parked buses a long time ago.

Marsel Konomi (Barcelona fan) says...
Hi Guillem, love to read you every week. Do you think that currently the ideal partner for Messi in Barcelona's attack would be Aguero, something that would provide to Barcelona even a plan B?
Posted 12:17 13th November 2012
Fahim Kahn (Barcelona fan) says...
Hi, one very important question regarding BallondOr is Do individual record Messi is breaking and is continuing to do so will play a major role deciding who the winner is of the prestigious Award and secondly If Messi wins how much it will demoralise Ronaldo??

Protecting soils for our Common Future
A call for action
Participants of an international meeting at the German Federal Environment Agency, Berlin in September 2011:
Noting that soils are the basis for life on earth., and that food, feed, fibre and bioenergy pro- duction as well as the entire terrestrial biodiversity directly depend on them, Further noting that soils are inter alia the medium of plant growth, sources of terrestrial net primary production, reservoirs of gene pools, moderators of climate, sinks of atmospheric car- bon, reservoirs of plant nutrients and cycling, and providers of clean water,
Taking into account that soils have been taken for granted for too long, and that over the last few decades they have been further degraded and desertified by misuse and mismanagement, thereby jeopardizing this essential finite natural resource and its ecosystem services,
Recognizing that inter alia Millennium Development Goal number one, to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, Millennium Development Goal number seven to ensure environmental sustainability, the global environmental targets to combat Climate change and to stem the loss of biodiversity will not be reached, unless there is a fundamental change to the unsustainable use and management of soils around the globe,
Acknowledging that although soil degradation in many regions of the world is obvious, there is still a significant lack of scientific knowledge, about its extent, regional distribution and trends,
In the light of the resolution adopted by the European Parliament on 29 September 2011 on developing a common EU position ahead of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable De- velopment (Rio+20) and noting in particular clause 52, that the European Parliament?: Re- grets the slow progress of negotiations and commitments in the context of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD); considers that soil is a scarce resource and that land de- gradation and land use change require a global response; calls for concrete action, efficient measures and monitoring, especially as regards the production of biofuels;?,
Recognizing the fundamental role of fertile soil for sustainable development and a green econ- omy,
Urges the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio +20 Conference) in 2012:
1. To recognize that a coordinated global science and policy and legal approach is there- fore required to ensure that soils are used, managed and restored according to prin- ciples of ecosystem resilience;
2. To initiate action to promote scientific study, legal protection and policy responses on the sustainable use of soils on a global basis and, to this end, request the Executive Di- rector of UNEP and the Director General of FAO, in conjunction with the Executive Sec- retary of the UNCCD:
a. To prepare, at the earliest date possible, a comprehensive global report on the state of world soils, on the basis of the most current scientific information, in or- der to overcome existing gaps in scientific knowledge and to provide policy makers with better information and scientific advice for soil policies;
b. To organize an ongoing authoritative and globally agreed scientific assessment on the state of the world?s soils, with a complementary commitment to set and monitor quantitative targets to prevent degradation and restore degraded soils, with a view to providing comprehensive ongoing information and targets to pol- icy makers, land managers and other stakeholders on soil quality, to improve food security and enhance other ecosystem services, with the long-term aim of eradicating poverty, eliminating malnutrition and promoting ecological, eco- nomic and social/cultural sustainability as the basis of a green economy.
