The highest cost of tobacco use is the loss of lives due to
smoking, secondhand smoking, and third-hand smoking.
Third-hand smoke refers to the invisible poisonous gases and particles that remain in the air and on surfaces after a cigarette is extinguished. The residue may remain for hours, or even days, on smokers' hair, clothing, and skin and can linger in a room –sticking on surfaces such as furniture, walls, curtains, bedding, and flooring- and in vehicles. The smell of smoke that you detect after a smoker steps off an elevator or leaves a room indicates that third-hand smoke particles are still present (Virginia Department of Health).
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), it is predicted that tobacco will cause more than 10 million deaths annually by the year 2020. Cigarette smoking remains the leading preventable cause of death in the United States and is responsible for one in every five deaths.
Policies establishing smoke-free environments are the most effective way to reduce exposure to secondhand and third-hand smoke.
A tobacco-free workplace is expected to have a substantially greater effect on tobacco consumption than current policies that permit smoking in designated areas.
Benefits of a Smoke-Free Workplace:
For Employees:
For the Employers:
The Prevention Services Division of the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck Community Services Board proudly serves the ten counties of the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck region. We have a limited number of Smoke-Free Workplace signs available for all those businesses, offices, workplaces that desire to implement, or already have in place, smoke-free workplace policies. This initiative is made possible by a grant from the Virginia Department of Health awarded to the MPNNCSB Prevention Services Division. If you would like to request a sign or for further information, please call us at 1-888-PREV-550 or 804-642-5402, or send us an email: email@example.com.
VIRGINIA PASSED A NEW LAW…. As of July 1, anyone convicted of one (1) DUI will be required to have an ignition interlock devise installed in their vehicle for six (6) months.
Make sure you understand the new law at www.dontblowitva.com.
A message from the MP-NN Community Services Board
MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving/Virginia Office)
In an effort to reduce harmful secondhand smoke exposure to children, the Rural Virginia United Coalition, in partnership with the MP-NN CSB Prevention Services Division, are recognizing childcare facilities that are promoting a 100% smoke-free environment.
The scientific evidence indicates that there is "no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke" as reported in the 2006 surgeon general report on the health consequences of involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke.1
The survey that we are conducting of the 261 child care facilities that are operating in the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck ten county region can be completed here by clicking this link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NLF8XZC.
Once we receive your completed survey, individual child care centers that are 100% smoke-free will be presented with a lawn flag, a certificate, and will be promoted as a 100% smoke free facility through the media and web site listings.
Your participation in this important pro health initiative is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions you can call us toll free at 1-888-PREV-550.

Town Hall Meetings on Preventing Underage Drinking In Your Community
Changing Community Norms Offers Promise For Preventing Underage Drinking
The Alcohol Prevention Task Force in partnership with the Rural Virginia United Coalition and the Middle Peninsula-Northern Neck Community Services Board Prevention Services Division is targeted to changing community norms in an effort to prevent underage drinking. Young people's alcohol use is an extremely critical problem. This Task Force is designed to give communities the tools and strategies to prevent youth from beginning to use alcohol and to educate those who do drink about the risks they are taking. The Alcohol Prevention Task Force is a community effort and will provide health professionals, parents, educators, public officials, law enforcement officers, faith based organizations, community leaders, and youth with communication tools and strategies needed to reduce the occurrence and acceptance of underage drinking.
The Task Force's primary goal will be to motivate communities to change norms that may encourage or allow underage drinking. The secondary goals of The Task Force are to increase the number of youth who understand the risks associated with alcohol use and to empower them to resist the pressures to drink that they often get from their peers and from advertising.
Reports from the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reveal alarming information on the number of young people who drink. The 2005 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse established that there were about 10.8 million underage drinkers in the United States.
Each community must recognize the serious consequences of underage drinking. The Alcohol Prevention Task Force is an opportunity for communities to work together and make their highways safer, their schools more effective, and the future of their young people more certain.
To schedule a Town Hall Meeting on Preventing Underage Drinking in your community, please call Prevention Services at 1-888-PREV-550. For additional information regarding Town Hall meetings log onto www.stopalcoholabuse.gov

I got excited because I saw a toy bow and arrow and thought it was robin hood, but upon closer inspection I saw it had a picture of peter pan on it which I thought was pretty odd. Is there anywhere in the park that still remembers the great Robin Hood and Little John?

CB900 Scrambler w/ Vids
So... I'm building a vintage scrambler/adventure/back roads/race bike. The starting point is a 1979 CB750K with a 1981 CB900F motor. I picked it up 4/12/2013 on the local CL for a few hundred bucks because it wasn't running. It has been sitting for the past 10 yrs.
Here's the back story.
I'm a bit of a moto blog junky and check up on bikeexif, pipeburn, thekneeslider ... a few times a week at least. This has led to a burning itch to do a vintage build of my own so it was only a matter of time. I'm a huge fan of the scrambler and brat bikes by the likes of CRD, LHS, Wrench Monkeies etc. so that's my inspiration.
I have the urge to hoon a bike of this design like this:
(yeah, I know they aren't Hondas. I'll make some Honda videos when it's done )
Here's more why:
I got back into riding in 2011 after a 4-5 year break by getting a street legal DRZ400E. It definitely felt like I was getting back to my roots of riding dirtbikes all the time as a kid. Since then I have ridden all sorts of dual sport oriented rides, lots of technical trail riding and some longer multiday adventure rides in CO and WY.
In 2012 I decided to give racing a try and chose RallyMoto as the way to do it. It's stage rally format like you may have seen with Rally cars. Full speed on closed back country roads! Stages are between 3 and 20 miles long It's a total hoot. http://rallymoto.com/ http://nasarallysport.com
Here's what it usually looks like from the riders seat.
My first race was on sand in at SandBlast Rally in SC.
The next one was Rally WV at Snowshoe, WV. I upgraded to a KTm 450XC-W mid season in 12.
I'm not one of the fast guys but I have tons of fun doing it. One of the neat things about this type of racing is that there are classes for all sizes of bikes so you have everything from 250 four stroke trail bikes to BMW boxers racing for overall points and against similar sized bikes for weight class points.
For RallyWV 2013 I decided to enter the heavy class (750.1cc+) so I'll be putting some knobby rubber on the CB and hitting the gravel to go at it with my buddies on big bikes.
More to come...

CB900 Scrambler / Racer - Now with 150% more video
I started this build log over on DTT and I'm going to start posting it in parallel over here. I'll get it all copied over in the next few days so all my ADV buddies can get the action while they are here.
The plan is to break this build up into two stages. The first sage is just getting the bike on the road for as little money as possible. The second stage throughout the summer will be performance upgrades like suspension, brakes and maybe a set of flat slide carbs.
The bike sat for 9 years so a carb rebuild is in order as well as knocking the dust and rust off all sorts of bits. I'm painting the wheels and frame satin black. Some bits will be left silver as accents. the tank will be red on top with black on the lower area below the body line.
Week 1
I started with easy stuff and disassembled from front to back while waiting for the carb kit and new carb boots to arrive.
Needed new fork seals but the wheel bearings and brakes were good.
The caliper was pretty crusty. This is after some work with a wire brush. That pile of debris at the bottom is what came off these things.
I took everything to work and hit it with the bead blaster. Love that thing!
You can tell by the caliper half and lower tree I hadn't done yet just how pristine it makes gritty parts. I spent lots of time taping off areas that I didn't want covered in beads. Also, I ran bolts into any threaded areas to keep the grit out as well.
The tires where hard as a rock so rather than wrestle them off the rim I cut a chunk out wit a band saw then cut the steel belt in the bead with a cutoff wheel.
While waiting for the carb kit to arrive I pulled them off and dropped the bowls to see what I was up against.
Not great but I've seen worse.

Longest build thread e-v-e-r.
(Note the messed up date imprint on the first image...10/01/2025)
Nothing gets by the discerning ADV crowd! Nothing!
The funny thing is that's actually the Craigslist photo from the PO. I didn't bother taking pics before tearing into it.

Coffee break
Week 2
The carb kit arrived so I set up my work station on a card table in the living room. The carbs on the 900 are Keihin VM43B.
I managed to delete the pics I had of the all those tiny parts everywere but I can say that next time I have a set that needs a full tear down I'll probably send them off. ;) It is good to know how these carbs work in and out though and it should make future tuning an easier process.
Here's what was left behind after the fact.
I ordered the wrong kit from e-bay so I had to wait for a new accelerator pump diaphram and fuel rail o-rings befor final assembly.
In the mean time I got the wheels painted and the new tires mounted.
The color is satin black.
I got brave and started detabbing and did some chopping too. I love running an angle grinder.
As you can see a little here I cut down the countershaft cover a bit too so I can inspect the CS sprocket without removing the cover.
Swingarm and other misc parts went to the bead blast cabinet.
Here's a quick video of blasting the swingarm.

That Left Hand Cycles CB750 you posted at the top (the OD green one) is sort of inspiration for my XV920. Right now it's even sitting in OD green (rattle-can paintjob, but oh well it'll get dropped and scratched so I don't care). My build thread is in this same section.
Some of the "for show" stuff on the LHC CB750 are kind of goofy (lack of back brake for one) but I'm digging the minimalist nature of it.
Enjoy the project!
F-it...let's ride!

Can't imagine no rear brake. The LHS shock mounts are probably ok for pub hopping but mine will be made right for taking this thing off some sweet jumps.

More updates
Week 3
Painted some more parts...zzz
One of the guys I work with generously donated the battery to the cause as well as letting me borrow his shiny new sync gauges and tuning fuel can. ;D
The final carb parts arrived which is good because I needed some moivation after a week of degreasing and painting. All the parts went back together without a hitch. I was a little suprised since this was my first time rebuilding a set like this.
I eyeballed a bench sync, crossed my fingers, threw the harness back together and mounted up the carbs.
A little choke and 2 cranks later it fired up. 3 turns of the idle knob and it was purring on its own after a 9 year slumber.
Here's a vid of the second start since I was too excited to bother with a camera on the first start.
Side note: I changed the oil and checked the valves when I first pulled it in the garge and everything looked great. The oil looked new actually. I believe the previous owners story of only having about 1000 miles on this motor after it was transplanted. His receipts and the looks of the top end seem to jive.
With that ceremonial first start out of the way I pulled the wiring and carbs back off and set about some other details.
I reassmbled the forks and scrounged through the spare parts boxes to get the headlight together. 7 inch light really hangs out there but I think I kind of like it with the vintage dirt bike bars. The bulb for this light is an H4 so I could probably put an HID kit in and put the ballast under the tank without too much trouble. I like extra lumens.
Also masked off all the sensitive parts and put some fresh enamel on this fine running motor.
Ordered a rear hoop from one of the DTT vendors and it arrived so that will go on soon which will allow me to fab the seat pan. This isn't a great picture of it but I hit the exhaust with a scotch brite pad to knock the bling down a little.
Went to Amazon for some wiring wrap in various sizes to replace the miles of decomposing, gooey, rotten electrical tape that are on the wiring harness now. Should make hiding the stock harness a little easier and allow future access for other accessories.
I've got a Trail Tech Vapor Tach/speedo on the way to replace the stock gauges. I'm going to turn a couple of plugs to block off the holes for the tach and speedo cables.
Also have some basalt exhaust wrap coming as well. Mostly for looks.
So... that pretty much has me caught up on the updates. Everything will be real time from here on.

Copy - Paste - Awesome
Got frisky last night and decided to weld my rear hoop. I borrowed a HF mig flux welder for this task. Not the best but it'll do.
I've never welded before but I have watched some YouTube training so I figured that should be good enough. ;)
I practiced on some scap sheet metal of teh same thicknes and on some scrap tubing from the frame.T hese will be ground smooth anyway so no need to look pretty.
Big hammer test confirmed they were good enough so I moved on to the real deal. I left the cross brace in place untill this was done just in case the frame might try to pull.
Cut the cross brace and prettied it up a bit.
I thought I had some good material for the rear seat pan mount but it was thinner than I wanted so I'll go through the drops pile at work to find something better to put in.
At this point I need to get it back on it's own wheels to get an idea of the stance so I got the swingarm and rear wheel back in place.
I will re-use part of the inner fender to keep mud off the battery and carbs.
I picked up some crash bars from ebay to protect the cases in the event of inevitable drop. Didn't realize it untill they arrived but they came from Puerto Rico.
They were pre-crashed so they were only 30 bucks. I pounded them straight then hit then with a band file to smooth the rash. They cleaned up nice so I hit them with primer and paint.

Seat pan fried
I threw the front fender on last night so I could mark it up and chop it down a bit. Chopped down and painted satin black seems par for the course on this style of build... but then I ended up liking it a little the way it is...
I could cut it down all the way just leaving a hoop as a fork brace... or I could go and do a small high fender with a mud flap like vintage street/trail bikes...
I need to get the tank back on to know for sure.
I'm gonna cut the tabs on the headlight mount and move them down to get the light closer to center on triples now that I can stick metal together.
Seat pan fabrication pics.
I'm out of town until Monday so no progress to be had this weekend...

Fail on back
Had a nice long weekend with family. Came home to this....
Before I left I had the jack almost all the way down so it would just hold the bike up level so I could get an idea of the ride height and stance. At that level the safety catch doesn't engage and the cheap POS jack bled off over the weekend.
Not too much damage.
A nice ding on the tank but it was still in the primer stage so it could have been worse.....
Scuffed the egg on the stator cover....
Bent the headlight ears but didn't bust the housing... (I might flip and lower these anyway)
I had been wanting to inspect that exhaust anyway...
This bike will be on it's side plenty of times in places it shouldn't even be in the first place....this is just the first trial run
The glass is half full.... LBC

All caught up...
[quote author=kraptastic k link=topic=48753.msg546241#msg546241 date=1368524082]
Made my heart sink...
Well, She's upright and ready to push ahead.
I wasn't super excited to back track to fix the damaged bits so I decided to grab the cut-off wheel and attack the front fender for motivation. Shortened it front and back. I'm pleased with the result.
I went after the fins on the head with a sanding block as well to bring some detail back to the motor. I may knock the paint off the fasteners as well. It's still too monochrome at this point. I'm definitely going to lay some silver metalic paint in the Honda logos on the cases covers to bring those out.
Welded up the rear cross member that will be the rear seat mounting bracket as well.
Pushed most of the tank dents out from the inside then hit with some glaze and primer.
Tried out the paint scheme for the tank badges. I'll shoot them in black then mask off the letter faces and re-do the metallic. More gooder.
I realized last night that some of the detail work is keeping me from getting her on the road so tomorrow night will be focused on that direction.
To Do.
Assemble Controls
Mount Battery
Finish seat mount and foam
Clean and mount wiring harness
Mount new gauge cluster

Cool...thanks for the update...seeing your hoop and seat mount ALMOST makes me want to do that on the XV...but I just ordered a replacement subframe off ebay for $9 so I think it's gonna just get modified a bit and slapped on. I'm kind of like you...this time of year I'd rather be riding it than working on it!
That jack episode makes me think of my Craftsman lift...I've almost had that same thing happen when it bled down, luckily the bike I was working on at the time (the RT1 in some of my pics) had the kickstand down so basically it just gently lowered it onto it's tires and kickstand! Now I make sure that it's sitting on the catches anytime I lift it...my procedure goes like this...lift the bike, make sure it's past one of the stops, lower it until it's supported fully by the stops, then give it a short pump to relieve a little pressure on the hold. Usually stays put that way and doesn't seem to bleed down.
I'm also thinking about cutting down the front of the fender on mine, but I think I'm going to leave the back a little longer, at least keep SOME of the gravel/rain/mud protection.
I like your scotchbrite idea too...might have to steal that for the pipes and maybe even the front fender on mine.
Keep the faith!
F-it...let's ride!

2004 Infiniti G35 Q&A
2004 Infiniti G35 Question: What do i need to do regarding p1229, p1705, p2138 codes
Was driving down the road got the VDC, Slip, and Service Engine Soon light on. Car stalled and i cannot accelerate. Tried turning car off and on and same thing. I can change gears but no acceleration. Took it to the shop and it gave me three error codes p1229 p1705 throttle position sensor for the transmission p2138 APP peddle position sensor Guy at the shop cleared it, and said the car is running fine now. Will the car break down again? Or was this just a glitch? Should i invest in repairing all these issues? what could be the cost (not the shop cost, the cost for a consumer) Thanks for all the help - tigerpride716

Answer 2
APP is the whole gas pedal assembly ( two nuts 10 mm and 1 wire plug to the sensor portion) it can be purchased for under $150.00 but upon replacing it the position memory will have to be relearned and that is a proceedure that I am unsure of as of yet though the dealer can do it with the scanner that they have. As far as I have been able to assertain, however there are sites with the info online if you look for it. As far as the throttle pos sensor it is under the hood and is part of the air intake assembly I believe it is around the same cost and also requires the same relearn procedure if it is replaced ( this part must be replaced with caution) - snoblurot

Not that we were expecting freebies yet at least something I could treat the wife to. All I heard was whatever is not included and how I can pay for for this and extra for that.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Manju Poor Cleanliness and Quality I was at the hotel just for business purpose and thus just needed to have a clean and good room for sleeping and taking a shower. Unfortunately the carpet in the room seemed to be not being hoovered for longer time, there was dust behind doors. There was just a bathtub (usually there must be showertubs available too) which was old, dirty and rusty. So the cleanliness of the room and bath has to be improved! The bed was clean and comfortable, under the line, I can say that I may stay in that hotel the next time too, but I will definitely check for other hotels prior to booking in this hotel.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Colin Expected better 4 days leisure trip to see Jordan in 3 different locations (Petra, Dead Sea and Amman) and hotels respectively. Sheraton was my first choice where it is available but being a long time SPG member but not given SPG rooms during non-peak period was a real let down. During check-in, the reception staff just wanted to up-sell package to upgrade my booking, which I turned down. Breakfast spread was rather limited compared to other hotels I stayed in Petra and Dead Sea. Good concierge service, arranging day trip to see Amman or other trips. Hertz team was brilliant!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Trainertravelor A very comfortable room Other than time spent conducting work, I spent most of my time in my room, which was very comfortable. The breakfast and lunch buffets were wonderful. It looked like the health club facilities were also very good, although initial illness and fatigue kept me from trying them. The staff who set up and maintained the training room I used did a terrific job- they were wonderfully responsive. My only concerns were: (1) so much cigarette smoke everywhere in the common rooms that I could not take advantage of them or even stay in the lobby and (2) there was only a dinner buffet, so if you wanted just a regular meal, you had to use room service. They were prompt in serving the meal, but the meals were skimpy considering the cost. This hotel is located in a busy area, not of shopping but of busy roads, so the air quality outside was not wonderful. Walking in any direction involved walking alongside or crossing very busy streets. One more thing: internet in the room is pretty expensive. February 16, 2013

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas will continue to limit compensation for pain and suffering to $250,000 in personal injury lawsuits following a state Supreme Court ruling Friday in the case of a woman whose doctor removed the wrong ovary from her in 2002.
Kansas court upholds limits on damages in lawsuits
Amy Miller, a hospital records worker from the northeast Kansas town of Eudora, had challenged the cap in her appeal of a Douglas County district judge's ruling in her medical malpractice lawsuit against her doctor. A jury awarded her nearly $760,000 in damages in 2006, but the judge cut the amount by more than half, largely because of the state's cap on non-economic damages.
Business and medical groups in Kansas had urged the court to uphold the cap, arguing that it keeps medical malpractice and other types of insurance affordable and creates a better economic climate. The limit also has strong support in the state's Republican-dominated Legislature, which has refused to increase it or eliminate it in the past.
Even though Friday's ruling satisfied business groups and their political allies, it's not likely to slake GOP conservatives' desire to give legislators and the governor more influence over how appellate court members are selected. The Supreme Court faced criticism because the case had been on appeal since 2008.
Critics of the cap, who included AARP and advocacy groups for the disabled and domestic abuse victims, had hoped for a ruling similar to one in Missouri in July, when that state's highest court struck down a similar limit on non-economic damages in lawsuits. The Kansas justices expressed misgivings in their 5-2 decision about their state's cap but still upheld the policy, in place since 1988.
The Kansas court ruled in Miller's favor on some issues, validating the malpractice and ordering the lower court judge to reinstate $100,000 in damages for future economic losses that he'd rejected. But William Skepnek, one of her attorneys, said the result remains surprising and "unjust" for Miller, a mother of two who at 38 is unable to have more children.
"It's really a shame that we don't trust juries and we're just going to make sure that people who are badly hurt are undercompensated," Skepnek told The Associated Press.
The high court already upheld the law in a 1990 ruling, but none of the seven current justices were on the court at the time. In the majority opinion, Justice Dan Biles said it's "troubling" that legislators haven't increased the cap in nearly a quarter century to account for inflation and other changes.

Beth Dorey
Beth was inspired towards bodywork during her travels in Thailand in 1989 where she received traditional Thai massage from an elderly local. She was so struck by the power of this Eastern treatment she first studied Thai massage before moving to Malaysia where she furthered her knowledge in deep oil-based techniques native to the country. The belief in the power of touch to help create the balance in body and mind that aids natural healing has supported her approach ever since.
Her DT sessions can include acupressure, palm-pressure and mobilising stretches from her Thai training, alongside the work to loosen the deeper layers of muscle and soft tissue affiliated to deep tissue practice. She also has an active interest in yoga, Shamanic healing as well as fashion, accessory design and constructed textiles.
Beth offers wonderfully intuitive, yet dynamic treatments and clients report on her massage as sensitive, deep and powerful.

ATLANTA — Jury selection in the trial of a man accused of killing a police officer in Athens will continue after the state high court dismissed a series of appeals.
Prosecutors in the trial of Jamie Hood on Friday raised a number of issues regarding jury selection in a filing directly to the Georgia Supreme Court. The high court initially stopped proceedings Monday to consider those issues, but later lifted that stay.
However, prosecutors had also filed a separate notice of appeal with the trial court. A Supreme Court spokeswoman says officials asked for the notice to be forwarded to the high court and jury selection will continue now that the appeal has been dismissed.
Hood faces the death penalty in the 2011 slaying of Officer Elmer "Buddy" Christian III.

I am beside myself. I just got a $4,160 bill for my epidural. I have Blue Cross and Blue Shield insurance and they will not cover it b/c the doctor was "out of network". Can you believe that? Has this happened to anyone? I didn't know I was supposed to ask every doctor who walked in if they are "in network". is there anyway around this?
Insurance will not cover epidural..... WTH!!
Games insurance companies play......
1. You need to talk to someone at BCBS at a higher level than the schmuck answering the 800#. Someone who has the authority to decide to pay the claim as if they were in network.
2. You need to talk to the practice manager at the anesthesiologist's office and see if they will accept what BCBS will pay in network as payment in full (if they aren't contracted, they can legally balance bill you).
I went through this after my husband's surgery and it took 6 months to get someone competent and in a decision-making capacity to understand that we had the surgery where they told us to go: WE HAD NO INFLUENCE ON WHO THAT FACILITY DECIDED TO CONTRACT ANESTHESIOLOGY SERVICES TO AND THEREFORE WERE NOT GOING TO BE PENALIZED FOR IT AS THOUGH WE WILLINGLY WENT OUT OF NETWORK. The anesthesiology office was willing to play ball, but after the insurance paid the maximum allowable under their in network contracts we still received a balance bill for about $1,000.00. Apparently this also commonly happens with ER services.
Good luck, and be persistent. Keep notes on names and dates of who you talked to and stay in contact w/ the anesthesiologist's office so it doesn't get turned into collections. Get up BCBS's ass on a weekly basis.
I really f'in hate insurance companies.
Voted "Most Popular Mommy" .......in a six way tie.
That is rediculous but I have heard of it before. My insurance company tried telling me that they are no longer affiliated with my dr at the time of my labor and I went up one side of them and down the other and needless to say, my bills are getting paid! I would think there'd be some way around your issue. Was it an emergency birth? Also if for some reason you do get stuck paying the bill you can talk to the hospital and they have financial assistance if you're unable to pay for it or they are usually really helpful in allowing you to make payments.

As long as we are talking shit on BCBS (one of the "better" insurors - ha ha):
1. My Rhogam because I'm Rh negative: they denied payment so I paid for that out of pocket.......I'm sorry, it's not experimental assholes.....and it is medically necessary.......but I never got a clear explanation as to why that wasn't covered.
2. They kicked in a generous $63.46 toward my daughter's portion of the hospital bill. We're stuck with the rest.
3. I got a letter from Healthcare Recoveries last week requesting I call them: they were hired by BCBS to "investigate" my chiropractic claims (I was being treated for PSD the last month). They wanted to know what medical condition I was seeking care for (PSD), what it was a result of (pregnancy)......and then while clearly reading down the list of standard questions he asked if this was the result of an auto accident, a workplace accident, or an accident of any sort.
Yes, I slipped and fell on a dick. (No, I didn't really say that but the thought crossed my mind). Seriously: are they going to pay for ANYTHING that I've been paying monthly premiums to "cover"? Or are they going to find a way to get out of paying for every last thing?
Doing the math, we would have come out ahead if my employer just paid me what they pay for my insurance and we had negotiated cash with the hospital & OB instead. I believe in having insurance for protection against catastrophic events, but considering how frequently they'll deny care for folks with cancer, etc......and those people still end up uninsured with a huge bill - I'm not sure even that is worth it. Perhaps I should just cancel the insurance and ask my employer to pay me the premium instead? And the next one might be born at home.
Insurance sucks.
Voted "Most Popular Mommy" .......in a six way tie.
$4000+??? HOLY CRAP!!! The first unadjusted bill I got for my epidural was just over $1600. Then after it was adjusted for the contracted insurance rate, it was just over $1400. We have a $6500 deductible, so I had to pay the $1400. $4000 sounds INSANE. Why on earth is there such a difference in fees in this country?
Hope you get it sorted...they shouldn't make you pay for an out of network doc if you were in an in network hospital. They should have told you ahead of time....and gotten an in network person.
The same thing happened to me. My anesthesiologist's office won't charge my insurance until after I file an appeal w/ my husbands insurance- Excellus! My insurance is listed as "secondary". My insurance will pay in full. What a mess! Thanks for the advice.
Mom to 5 girls (soon to be 6)!
It's really not the responsibility of the hospital to make sure all providers who are part of your care are contracted with your insurance: if you read your insurance documents and the admission paperwork.....it's the patient's. It would be impossible to do this in advance for every patient who walks in the door when you consider ER services, anesthesiology, surgeons, radiology, pathology, and a myriad of other specialties that may treat any given patient.....plus all the different insurance companies and plans under each one.
That said, my argument with my hubby's insurance that finally got the claim covered (even though we still had to pay the difference) was the fact that I can hardly influence who a hospital decides to contract anesthesiology services to! They weren't going to go out that day and negotiate with a new group just because of my insurance. And how comfortable would the surgeon have been working with a new anesthesiologist? Just another example of how insurance companies are taking medical decisions out of physician's hands........
In so far as the variance in charges:
1. that could be the billable, which is always higher than what is ultimately going to get paid by the insurance (the allowable) or the patient if they negotiate a cash price
2. it could also be for longer/more services provided? I don't know if that's OP's case, but having an epi as well as other anesthesia/narcotics delivered multiple times over the course of a longer delivery is going to incur more charges than a woman who has a shorter delivery with less meds/intervention
3. billables do tend to vary widely based on what Medicare and major payors allow in a particular region.......as I've argued here before: Medicare and insurance companies drive healthcare costs FAR MORE than the providers do......they are more the problem than the solution, but that's another thread
Good luck, OP!

Oh Haute you are one funny witty lady=)
I hate dealing with those conniving bastards. I had to deal with crap from my insurance Lifewise of WA and filed a second appeal and had a hearing because they said when I went to a reproductive endocrinologist after my 3rd m/c that they would not pay for fertility services. However, it was documented in my records that my problems were not because of fertility issues. The only services I received from the endocrinologist was him checking my thyroid and prescribing me Clomid to try and progesterone+ baby aspirin to see if that would make the baby stick--all things that a regular OB can and does do and insurance covers the services then.... then when I got pregnant I had a US every 2 wks because I was highrisk and blood work done to watch to see my HCG rise. Regular OB's do all that as well too!
I even called the insurance co before I even went to the first Dr's apt to make sure they would pay and they said at that point they would. Then they don't and it was a huge bill!!!!! Long story short I fought them and won, yay! I went to the hearing 7 mo pregnant with my other son and I could tell they felt bad....I of course cried my little eyes out.
Haute knows her shiz. Take action. That is dumb they won't pay and for that reason.
Mom to Harper Tennyson (4) Dec. 6th), Milo Liam (2) Nov 23rd) and Finley Diana (9 mo). Sweet loves of mine.
3rd gold medal coming soon! ( . )( . )
I would try to call the anesthesiologist office and negotiate a price. I used to work for a bariatric surgeon that charged 7500 for each surgery. Medicare reimbursed our office a whoping 450. We made a lot more money off people that paid cash, so we offered a discount. They may be willing to negotiate.
I also think you should call the insurance and argue. DH and I were exposed to a bat in our bedrom this past summer and both had to get rabies vaccinations. We both went to different hospitals (DH works 50 miles from home) and have the same insurance but were billed very differently. After many VERY frustrating calls, we finally got it fixed. Insurance companies are a PITA, but if you are willing to be persistant, you can usually get somewhere. Part of that last job was calling insurance companies when they denied patient claims for surgery-I think that was what cased my pregnancy induced hypertension!
Good luck!

Scranton, Pa.
Sounds like: Alternative rock – basically if Radiohead made a tribute album to Weezer.
Fun fact: Several of the members were born in the same week of December. In the winter of 2012-2013, suffering from a lack of sleep, the band decided to use power tools to build a makeshift studio overnight in an empty room that was dubbed the "Punk Rock Dungeon."
Find them: facebook.com/afwfmusic, afirewithfriends.bandcamp.com, afirewithfriends.com, Twitter: @afwf, Instagram: @afirewithfriends
Philadelphia, Pa.
Sounds like: Indie punk, drawing from disparate personal influences to create a sound that's energetic, heartfelt, and powerful.
Fun fact: The guys used to be bus drivers for the University of Virginia. They all ended up quitting their bus driving jobs and moving to Philadelphia in order to play more shows.
Find them: facebook.com/leftandrightva, leftandright.bandcamp.com, Twitter: @lnrdudes
Sydney, New South Wales
Sounds like: Roots, soul, and funk. Their songs are filled with the combination of haunting ballads and deep soul to make their sound very unique.
Fun fact: Uncle Jed won last year's "Australia's Got Talent." The three members never considered going on the show until the producer saw them on YouTube and approached them.

Will Smith has been working on 'Men in Black 3' but production has been halted because of rumors of a clash over the script.
The movie went into preproduction last month and has already been shut down twice because of arguments between Smith, the director and the producers, reports Page Six.
"'Men in Black 3' has gone on hiatus again, this time for two weeks, after having shut down for a week and started back up. Smith, Sonnenfeld and the producers have been fighting. The start date for filming had already been put off," a source said.
Sony is insisting that there are no arguments and that the reason for the delay is because of the state of New York.
A Sony Pictures rep told us, "The only reason production will begin in mid-November as opposed to late October is to take advantage of recent changes affecting New York State film incentives. Suggesting that a disagreement triggered the shift is complete fiction."
It's not the first time Will Smith has had issues on set. Something tells us that he has some serious control issues, but that's probably the reason he's so successful.

This serene beach is located on one end of Palolem beach. It is currently less touristy as compared to other Goan beaches since not too many people know about it. You need to take a ferry from Palolem to reach Butterfly beach. While cruising along the virgin coastline, you can fall in love with the spectacular view of golden sand touching the rocks, surrounded by crystal blue water and palm trees.
Literally meaning milky water waterfalls because of the color of the falls, this is one of the highest waterfalls in India and cascades through four-tiers. Located on the southern boundary of Goa shared with Karnataka, it nestled on the banks of Mandovi River. Its total height is 310 meters and is India's 5th highest waterfall. The unique thing about this fall is that a railway line has been built across it and the view from the train is mesmerizing making it one of the most scenic railway routes in India. There are also few trekking routes possible here. One route starts from the Castle Rock railway station and there is a 14 km route along the railway track to reach the Doodhsagar Waterfalls. It takes around 5-6 hours to reach here. The route is also very picturesque and is open all around the year. Trekkers should be careful of the trains passing by and full precaution should be taken. Another similar 11 km route starts from Collem railway station. The third route is not available during monsoons, but is quite popular among families. For this route, one has to reach the Doodhsagar Taxi stand first by a 4 wheeler and then a 1 km hiking to reach the Dudhsagar Waterfalls.

Do negotiate with the vendors and ask for group discount. These water sports would cost you around Rs. 400-500 per water sport, however it might increase or decrease depending on the season.
Goa is one of the 4-5 places in India offering scuba diving. Diving in Goa is not the best owing to limited underwater visibility, but it is still popular among tourists.

You can't put the genie back in the bottle. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. And you can't ever remove the doubt from a baseball player's reputation once he is linked to steroids in a Congressional report.Welcome to the Steroid Era. Someone has finally mentioned the elephant in the room. Merry Christmas, y'all. There has never been a bigger baseball fan than me as a kid. I devoured the statistics on the backs of baseball cards. I religiously watched the Baseball Game of the Week with Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese every Saturday. ("He had a notion, but he 'helt' back.") I read every baseball book I could find in the school library. When I had read them all, I started over and read them all again. My favorite was "The Lou Gehrig Story." It talked about his German mother feeding him pickled eels. I knew the starting lineup of every team in both leagues. I pored over the newspaper box scores of every game played every morning. I couldn't wait for Sundays because that's when they published the individual statistics for the whole league. Mondays were special, too, because there were no "late games" on Sundays, so that was the one day when the league standings were up to date. I think my love affair with the game began to fade about the same time they brought in the designated hitter. I was a conservative guy - all about tradition and resistant to change. I still am. If it ain't broke, I don't believe in trying to fix it - and sometimes, even if it is broke, I don't worry about trying to fix it either. Just ask my lovely wife, Lisa, about the running toilet in the guest bathroom. Shortly after the DH rule came into play, salaries began to run amok and players started jumping around from team to team like Elizabeth Taylor jumps from husband to husband, and I could barely recognize the game I had once loved. But still, I stayed. I stayed with the game. I couldn't name the starting lineups anymore and wasn't quite so anxious to peer over the box scores or the weekly stats, but I still followed the game on television and attended as many in person as my time and my budget allowed. And this, understand, was during the days that the Braves were absolutely awful. Attendance was often so sparse at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium that they introduced the fans to the players instead of the other way around. Anybody out there remember Rico Carty for Jim Panther? That was the baseball I was paying to see. And then the Braves got good. Going to a game was suddenly the "in" thing to do in Atlanta. Tickets became as scarce as hen's teeth, so my buddies and I chipped in for a few years and shared season tickets - chipped in a lot more money than we could afford, I might add - but it was baseball. I was still carrying a torch for my lost love, the baseball of my childhood. We all do crazy things when we are in love. And then the millionaires went on strike, leaving me holding the bag on almost a dozen sets of tickets for games down the stretch, and I swore that even if the players came back, I wouldn't. But the allure was too great. They did and I did - for a while. Despite the fact that you never knew from one year to the next which spoiled overpaid stars would be with which franchise; even though the games began to drag on for hours and hours, even though the postseason games never ended until after midnight, I stayed with the game, much in the same way a battered and abused wife might stay with an undeserving husband. Call it love, call it blind loyalty or pure stupidity - for whatever reason, I stayed with baseball. And then something changed. People like Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Barry Bonds ballooned up to cartoonesque size and starting putting up numbers that Ruth, Mantle, Aaron and Mays never even approached. The traditions and history of the game were being drug through the mud, and everyone with half a brain began to realize that the players were dirty, the records were tainted, and the players' union and the people who are making money hand over fist dared "The Game" to do anything about it. So "The Game" buried its head in the sand and talked about improved conditioning methods and good nutrition and refused to address the travesty that the modern players were making of the game I had loved so dearly. And now we have The Mitchell Report, naming names and revealing what we had all suspected all along. And the players' union claims it is all a pack of lies and "The Game" will continue to do nothing and the beat will go on and on and on - and the tainted records will stand. But the beat will go on without me. I'm done with baseball until the record book is purged and the cheaters are ousted, and if I watch another inning before it is and they are - then may I be pickled like one of Lou Gehrig's mama's eels. Darrell Huckaby is an author and teacher in Rockdale County. E-mail him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas admitted on Monday that the second intifada was a major mistake for the Palestinian people.
Army Radio quoted Abbas as saying in an interview with Egyptian television station Nile TV, "This was one of the biggest mistakes of our lives. (Former PA leader Yasser) Arafat did not want the second intifada to spread, but he was unable to stop it.
"My motto since the outbreak of the second intifada was that it must be stopped, because armed activity destroys us, and it indeed destroyed us," he said, adding that Arafat was a "pragmatist rather than an extremist."

The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) revealed in its mid-year report that streams are up 80 percent -- a trend it expects will be bolstered further with Apple Music's entry into the market. Leading streams was Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk!," which has been played 45 million times via audio streaming this year. Both audio and video streaming showed considerable growth: 2015 has seen 12.5 billion video streams, for a year-on-year increase of 98 percent.
'The Pharmacy' will be dedicated to West Coast music.
Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones and Chris Brown are among the musicians set to take the stage on Independence Day.

'Grexit' Is the Talk of the Euro Zone, as Crisis Spawns a New Lexicon
The euro crisis is bad enough, but its rapidly growing lexicon is ugly, too. Some gruesome word-mashes have emerged to describe the events in Greece and the rest of the region.
Take "grexit"—a term Citigroup coined in February as shorthand for Greek euro exit. Initially met with groans, it is now in wide use among analysts and investors.
It doesn't stop there. In research issued Monday, Deutsche Bank came up with the idea that Greece could use a parallel currency while formally remaining in the monetary union, to avoid a catastrophic abrupt switch. The working name for this parallel currency: the "geuro."
And just how is that pronounced? "Very good question," said its creator Thomas Mayer, Deutsche Bank senior adviser. "I'd say 'gh-euro.' "
The geuro shouldn't be confused with the "neuro," widely credited to Martin Taylor, chairman of Syngenta and former chief executive of Barclays, who used it in 2010 to describe a stronger currency for use in Northern Europe following a euro-zone split. Mr. Taylor's southern euro would be called a "sudo" (best said out loud).
"Eurogeddon" and "Acropolypse" have also been around a while. It remains to be seen if Rabobank's more recent "grelection" will catch on.
And then there is "drachmail." Faisal Islam, economics editor of the U.K.'s Channel 4 news, came up with the term—a reference to Greece's former drachma—to describe using the threat of a Greek euro exit as "a negotiation tool."
