Coolcat casino scam.
I made a couple of deposits and played through some bonuses and requested a withdrawal. After 2 weeks, my account history said that my withdrawal was manager approved. After another week I chatted with their online support and was told that this was not the case and my winnings were taken away. They redeposited my original amount with no comments whatsoever. After a week of waiting for the "overnight" check, I chatted with online support once again. They then gave me the information that my winnings were taken away and that all the rules about the bonuses and withdrawal requirements are on their website. The only problem is when clicking on the link for specific rules about specific deposits, it says that the page is not available and none of the information provides any more specifics.
The casino host was very rude and just kept referring me back to the non-existent rules about the bonuses.
I would not suggest that anyone play at this casino until the rules are made available and account history shows more specific information.
I have played at other online casinos and received my winnings quite promply but at Coolcat I have been waiting since April 20, 2009 I keep getting the excuse thing and still have not reived my winnings. They are giving online casinos a bad rep. Surely there is a gaming commission that set rules? So take my advice Do not play there if you are playing to win
I won a small amount and it's been 2 weeks, and still nothing. I received phonecalls almost every night offering a no max playthrough no max cashout coupon offer. As of two weeks ago that all stopped and now I can't log in to the web site or any of their other sites. Sounds and feels like i'am not going to see my money so stay away from cool cat. A good casino to go to is Gold Club Vip. Last year I won 5 JACKPOTS and was funded on all of them within a week and a half max. Hopefully the bad casinos will just go away.
I requested a $1100 withdrawal on 7/13. It is now 8/11 & finally got an email telling me they approved $750 & it would be another couple of weeks for them to wire transfer it to me!!!! When I inquired abount the difference in amounts, was told they make you repay any bonuses received if you win. You don't have to repay the bonus if you lose!!! Cool cat casino is a joke if you are from USA !!!!!!
Hi georgesbrat, sounds like you took a non-cashable bonus but the delay in getting back to you is not acceptable.
Another victims of cool cat casino.... Won $200 of the n/d $400 bonus... withdrew $200 and I sent in documents. Rep tells me to wait 2 days before confirming... Logged on after two days to confirm and noticed they denied my winnings claiming i had two free chips. I went to account and noticed a bonus chip redeemed after a day of my withdrawal request. Can't believe they posted a bs bonus redeem history so that they dont have to pay. I told cashier rep that it was bs and i didnt log on that whole day but she kept telling me two free chips and wins are voidable. STAY away from this casino.
Hi ruffitupz,
I don't know if you're aware of this, but Wild Vegas is a skin of Cool Cat, they are the same casino. What happened was that you have an account in Cool Cat, where you requested your withdrawal and another one in Wild Vegas, with a different username (if you don't remember what it is, let me know and I can send it to you by PM).
On the 11th, you logged into Wild Vegas but instead of using your WV account to log in, you used your same Cool Cat account. So you redeemed and played the second bonus without realizing you were actually using your Cool Cat account, in the WV skin.
I asked the grievance group to review your situation and asked them if an exception could be made in your case, they agreed so your withdrawal has been re-requested for you.
This is a one time exception because I wanted you and other players to know about this type of situation. Please everybody, be careful. We allow two accounts in the same casino when they are opened through different skins, that is the case of Cool Cat / Wild Vegas or Prism / Slots of Vegas, but PLEASE make sure you log in with the username that belongs to that casino, so you can avoid this type of situations.
Let me know if you have any questions
I have played at Cool Cat and Wild Vegas using the no dep bonus with different usernames. How on earth am I supposed to know that this is one and the same casino? It wasn't a problem anyway as I lost my bonuses on the slots so quick it's just not funny! Come to think of it, over the last six years I have never won at any RTG casinos.
I tried this no deposit bonus and went through the $8000 playthrough. The casino took $3000 from my account leaving me with $392. I tried to withdraw this but they said I had another account and used the $100 bonus explosion code. If this was the case they should of only took the $100 back at the most. My account is bm2929 and the way I see it they stole $3400 from me. They said the other account could of been made at wildvegas etc. they shouldn't of let me make another account if it was going to mess up my main account somewhere else.
i was hung up on now.....then the live chat guy at coolcat was rude as could be....said myou know what...im banning all your accounts have a nice day....these people are thiefs...i have casino gambling advice sites....and im dedicating this year to exposing them
this casino definately doesnt want to pay. been playing bodog for years and im spoiled, always get a check in a week sometimes 3 days. never had problem. even for 4k. Now ive been waiting for 3 weeks for alousy 200 from cool cat. But my deposit went thru fast. Hit my account next day. Sounds like a casino that wont be around long. Or they will start sending bad checks. Ive also ran into rude cashiers. anyone else get the the systems down call back in 30 minutes. got that 4 times one day
Yes Cool Cat is one of the worse casino online. They will tell players anything to get you to play on this site or one of there others. You will be fine on there site as long as you dont make a withdrawals. They love your deposits buy hate your withdrawals. PLEASE - PLEASE - listen to what am saying this is one place to stay away from -- bad news here or on any of there sites. How they stay online,I will never know. They told me they make lots of money & have lots of players. Well they should have money cause they never pay anyone or slow,& I mean slow,like months. Dont be a fool or be sorry you played here,just stay away. I want the world to know about this place & any place that deals with people the way they do.
I represent Prism/Slots of Vegas and VIP Lounge but we are in the same group as Cool Cat.
Withdrawals are sent 15 business days after being requested; if there's a delay with a withdrawal, send me a PM through the forum and I'll be happy to look into it.
Our casinos offer a lot of bonuses and sometimes this leads to misunderstandings, since new players don't always read the terms of a bonus code before using it. I recommend the following (and this is my advice when playing in any casino):
1. If you request a bonus, make sure you know the wagering requirements BEFORE you start playing.
2. If you have winnings that you'd like to cash out, especially if you used a bonus, DO NOT make another deposit or use another bonus while the winnings are in your account's balance. First request your withdrawal, and contact CS to be sure you know the steps to follow. This way, you'll always be sure you're not breaking any terms and conditions.
I would like you to always get your winnings, and terms and conditions in this casino are not much different than any other casino, just please make sure you know what they are.
I'm available in the forum in case anyone has a specific issue they'd like my help with.

I played at Coolcat took 400% welcome bonus, that was lot to play with. I spend 3 days spending that money as I hit $1000 in video poker. I requested for withdrawl of $700 2 days back, I got a call today that I need to submit my photo id with them, I want to know can I give them photo id. is it safe?
Hi Maggie4min, getting ID is a standard procedure and is safe :) They do this to protect themselves against multiple accounts and fraud.
Hey fiends...
Today I have got the payment of $17000 from coolcat casino after all the verifications. I am really very happy today & going to throw a party. Thanks to CoolCat Casino!!!!
hallo prism aff mngr
i create an account at cool cat casino tried to reedem No Deposit Casino Bonus - EXCLUSIVE cashable $400 LCASINOBONUSES.COM before 20xbonus but could not be reedemd at this time i talk with live chat they told me that players from the netherlands have to deposit first to get this free chip but its a no deposit so i did deposit a small amount first lost it and ask chat again for that exclusive LCASINOBONUSES.COM but they tell me that this is for players that deposit at the casino couple times my frends who told me about this site they get this LCASINOBONUSES.COM without any deposit and i cant get it
can you pls check this for me pls
Hi Gregor,
Thank you for writing.
Actually, and please tell your friends if they're from Netherlands as well, this casino doesn't allow free chips for players of your country:
This doesn't mean they can't redeem the chip, because the system doesn't have a feature that allows us to restrict the bonus code by country. Players from Netherlands and any of the other restricted countries will be able to redeem the bonus, but they will not be able to cash out since it goes agains the terms and conditions.
In your case, the code was denied due to an error, which was lucky for you because that way you contacted CS: please ALWAYS check Terms and Conditions before requesting a bonus, especially you since Netherlands is restricted in a high number of casinos.
What they mean when they said you can receive a free chip if you deposit is that sometimes the casino makes exceptions. In this case, they're willing to make an exception if you make a deposit, but you do have to make a larger deposit than $5, our standard minimum is $25.
Best regards,
Dear Ingrid,
I have played the ND deposit code EXCLUSIVE cashable $400 LCASINOBONUSES.COM at CC casino and went through the $8000 playthrough. But I`m from the netherlands! I didn`t see this post untill now. How can I redeem that code? and reading all this i assume that my withdrawl won`t accepted? Maybe you can help me out here?
Thought this casino was cool for about a minute... Decided to make first deposit not realising they were cashier linked to wild vegas and was cheated my depoit bonus.... the pages looked different bonus codes different but lame
Hi Melanie,
Even though Wild Vegas is a skin of Cool Cat, they are separate casinos and you are allowed to have an account in each.
I'm not sure what the problem you are refering to is. You had already used the LCASINOBONUSES.COM $400 free chip, so you cannot use the 1000BONUSEXPLOSION, since it is also a free chip and it is also meant for new players to try the casino. However, you can definitely request a first deposit bonus on your initial deposit, for example the WINATFIRST275 for a 275% bonus on your deposit. Please contact me through the forum, in the Direct Casino Support section under Prism/Slots of Vegas/VIP Lounge or send me an email to firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to do this.
Best regards,

Hi Carla,
Your withdrawal was approved earlier today. It usually takes 7 to 10 business days for withdrawals to be processed and approved, so it was delayed one day, sorry for the inconvenience.
It is now sent to the Finance department, they will send the payment request to our processors, you should receive it within a few more days. If you have any questions, please contact me in the Direct Casino Support section of the forum.
Best regards,

I won at this casino with the no deposit chip, but at present they refused to pay out and shut my account down. I am in contact with Marty, who seems very helpful, to see if we can straighten things out. I will update this when something happens.
The site itself has a good selection of games and offers very good bonuses. If they do actually pay out when someone wins, it would be a great casino. We'll see!
papii - 20/9/10:
Nope. I've been banned. Apparently winning is considered an offense. Still, at least all this happened before I deposited any real money. This is a good lesson for all: don't ever deposit much real money before trying to withdraw! Oh, and avoid Virtual casinos.
The problem with all the Virtual Casino Group is that if you play too much, win too much or use all the no deposit bonuses, they exclude you from ALL bonuses. I guess they have their reasons, but I don't think it's fair. I don't consider myself a bonus abuser, I just take advantage of the emails that are sent to me offering the bonuses. Now I can't use them. And you are right. It takes about 2 months to get your winnings.
Romania is not allowed to this casino..shame on cool cat
Read and Learn here, worst Casino I have ever come by.... in line with Cirrus and Tropica. Treasure Mile another worth avoiding. But these guys, Its been some time they burned me but I can't shake the phone calls from them on my cell....every bloody day it seems, just a warning....do what ya want!
A few days ago I asked Cool Cat to temporary close my account for a few days because I was having my computer serviced and I know that these repair geeks can get into any files from my computer. I called Cool Cat a few days later for them to reactivate my account, they told me that I requesed it to be closed because I was addicted to gambling. LOL and a bunch of bull. These people have a SERIOUS communication problem!! I did not alter the agreement in any way what so ever...I simply asked them to deactivate the account for a few days. I have tried talking to these F--ls and they still don't get it! My account has been permanetly closed, but maybe this is a blessing after reading all of the above posts.
Yes, I am angry and honest. I can agree that the staff can be very rude at times and keep you going from department to department when trying to resolve an issue. I will just spend my money where it is appreciated because my chances of winning on this site have been slim since day one. ****WARNING TO THOSE WHO ARE EVEN THINKING ABOUT DOWNLOADING COOL CAT CASINO....READ ALL OF THESE POST AND STAY AWAY****, there are too many other casino sites out there that would probably communicate with you in plain ENGLISH without assuming and putting words in your mouth. There is no professionalism about COOLCAT, they just want your money (money hungry). I referred a friend and she got burned with a withdrawal as well, she never received her money. JUST STAY AWAY! maybe they will go out of business. If anyone knows of a gaming commission for online sites like this one, please forward the information to me!!
Heres a code for 50$ TRYUSTODAY...hope you enjoy it

Watch out for these con artists. They emptied out my $7000 + account when I tried to withdraw because I "played a tournament game with bonus money". There are legit online casinos out there but this is not one of those.
Hi buscleslane70,

LCB Admin
Requested payout on 4/10, payout approved 4/20, as of this date 5/9, still no money.. Also requested payout of 2200.00 on 5/2, not approved yet. I can't see why anyone would continue to play here orfor this group of casinos. They give all on-line casinos a bad rap. I will not play there anymore until i get withdrawls that have been requested. I'm also very surprised that other casinos allow there pratices to take place...
I will be glad to check into this matter with Coolcat Casino. Kindly send me an email to email@example.com with your casino username.
Best Regards

Cindy, should i be worried that i still have not received a check from coolcat. I thought i was suppose to be overnight ??? When I attempted to call, they kept me on holh for 30 minutes and i hung up.
Finally rec'd payout of 390.00 on 5/12, that was requested on 4/10 (34 days). Just had a second payout for 2100.00 approved 5/13 that was requested 5/2. I don't expect to see this one for another few weeks.... My sincere thanks to Cindy Greco who was instrumental in me receiving my first payout.
Thanks again Cindy.
Requested payout of 390.00 on 4/10, payout approved 4/20, finally received on 5/15, 32 days from original request.. Requested another withdrawl on 5/2 for 2110.00, payout approved on 5/12, as of this date, 6/1 payout still not processes. Tried calling the withdrawl dept on several occasions and was on hold for more than 20 minutes each time. Tried live chat, and was told the standard line, 10 days to approve, 10 t0 20 days after approval before final processing. Once I rec'd my first withdrawl, I am no longer allowed to use any free chips, or "no max" cashout bonuses. Yet I still get e-mails daily that say faster payouts and better bonuses. What do you do... If you were to treat employees of Cool Cat the same way they treat customers what do you think would happen....
Until things change, and they become accountable to someone stay away..........
Just an FYI LATESTCASINO700 has expired
Hi masskat,
thanks for the info.
Bonus is closed now.
is there any bonus codes that arent actually expired
Ok guys don't shoot me in the head but i have not had any problems at Cool Cat Casino. I have been a member there since around 2008 and have won many times without any hassles. I know they are real buggers about following the rules but i have never been one to abuse bonuses anyway and maybe that is part of the reason i have had no problems here. Two years ago i won a random jackpot playing Rain Dance for $3k and was paid without a hitch. I am not saying that players don't have issues here but all i can do is tell my story and i have been lucky i suppose. I know somebody out there has had to have success with this casino and im not the only one and would like to know if anyone else besides me has.
A lot of countries are restricted from receiving the no deposit bonus.

AVOID!!!!!! Terrible throughout. Service appauling.
Cool Cat Casino, oh how throughout the years it has received a depraved reputation. I, myself have an opinion that can be or will be kind of biased, I don't know. Of course back in my first days to gambling online I came across Cool Cat Casino and its huge free offers. I mean who wouldn't be attracted to $100s of free chips? I signed up, played a free chip and then made a deposit. Well, being that I was new to the online gaming community I took the massive match bonus that a first time depositor could take. Needless to say I didn't have much luck on my deposit and bonus. I didn't stop there though, I wanted to win! I continued taking the free chips and making a deposit here and there.
One day I logged in and seen a special promotional offer that was a pretty good size one like a $100 free chip or something. I of course claimed, it began playing and won. I didn't win the progressive jackpot but I got my balance up there quite a bit. I requested a cashout, sent in the required documents etc., did everything to get my account fully verified and so that my withdrawal would go smoothly, so I thought.
I waited my three days I believe before contacting support to inquire about the status of my cashout. I was told that my account was not eligible to receive a withdrawal due to too many free chip claims. I was in disbelief as I did make real money deposits into my account. It was a losing battle that I just threw in the towel and called it quits with them. It was years later when I was browsing a forum and seen a new rep making posts recommending players that have had a bad experience to contact him that they were trying to make things right… I mean after all of the bad things this place has done is this even possible?
So of course I contacted him game him my account info with hopes of something maybe happening but I had my doubts. He private messaged me the very next day stating he found my account and the money that I was owed was still owed to me. He asked me how I wanted to be paid, so I told him and believe it or not I got my money years later. Will I play here again? NO, but I do commend Cool Cat Casino for trying to make it right with players and for trying to correct its mistakes they did in the past.
Go on over to coolcat casino if you want to jump thru hoops to get paid.I always played for fun not expecting to win just got bored. Some people have been paid but IMO it was a ploy for those people to post great reviews. Please heed the warnings that LCB put by this casino or practice your begging skills.
I really think these rogu casinos would have a lot of very loyal players if they would do right . Am i going to hold my breathe ?NO.
well this is my last review and I mean that pq last stop was the worst thing that has happened in my life ....
I was given one day to experience in cool cat casino for nothing out of the ordinary and before I knew it was a casino that does not inspire any confidence ..
good, I began playing for over 8 years already but casino cool cat toys when I was still starting out and was just a kid with a credit card XD something you can say it is a serious error in my account in order to create cool cat casino and I began to deposit at the beginning just thought it was a bad run and he deposited $ 200 and was losing in less than 15 minutes and so continue to complete the balance of my credit card lost $ 10,000! Oo something a bit much considering that at that time my income was not less than $ 1,000 monthly therefore lose $ 10,000 in one day was something that I could afford to do so I will not stay another to try to recover lost money and as I did?
therefore resorted to my bank account at that time only had a total of $ 25,000 for emergencies and go ahead and had lost $ 10,000 I had only attempted retrieval. deposit $ 1000 and I began to play all was well looked like it was going to achieve my goal until pfff all went to shit me out of control and lost everything over $ 11,000 in one day and not know what to do was desperate and methyl another $ 1,000 ue with such bad luck just as I left $ 5 poker I came a $ 800 J that were given normal so I lost my double to $ 1,600 and $ 3,200 and so I said good catch or recover the money or lose double to $ 6400 and I got it was almost ready follow playing and went up to $ 8000 I told myself that enough was enough and I decided to make a withdrawal would lose only $ 4,000 were nothing compared with $ 12,000 and that was the answer! can not procear your payment has not sent the documents was so naive then send the documents tpodo ue well spent a few weeks and my account was locked! I take a tremendous and unpleasantly surprised to find an email saying that my details were correct and all my funds would be frozen cry and the only thing I'm to do was send mails like crazy again and again beg to call but nothing had lost $ 12,000 to pay the balance on my credit card and almost lose everything so I do not even joke recommend this casino
omg 12k? i'm pi*** off then i'm losing 100$ :D
yeah almost lost everything and i need to talk with my father to he give me loan to paid the bank for the credit card bill is a little bit hard when u ask for money just with a excuse u have love everything in a casino :( thats why i never play again with my credit card just for emergencys and now only use my bank account and of course i have allready paid my father the loan :p but thats why so dificult recovert the 12K and i dont fell proud of it :(
I hate this casino i lost 2k in 2days it sucks
Ok so I see it's withdrawable one good to hear after some opinions on other websites.
@Mago666 Yep I know the pain of losing everything wish you can handle the debts from it maybe consider going lower limits or give it up ?
Romania is not allowed to this casino.
i dont recomand to play here because they have a very bad support and even if you winyou will not be able to cash out your money only after many many complaints and alot of documents send and time wasted
1 star casino rating
damn it i read all the comment i was so excited when i read and after that i saw that cazino dont accept players from my country...damn it
Wonderful place in which to invest your money. Not earn interest or dividends, and certainly this money will never see again. But who cares? Why we needs money, they can not buy us happiness. So give them to Cool Cat Casino and live happily - without money. :D
VBC - Very bad casino!
If you are sirious player please avoid this casino. they are so unprofessional and I will never deposit my money here. They offer big no deposit bonus becouse this is only way to atract new players to open account on this casino, but if you don't win from that bonus don't make deposit, you will regret.
very bad casino experience, not just because that slovakia is not allowed at this casino (that's because my experience was also incredibly short - as well as many other countries, we cannot even register), but one of my foreign known-NDB hunters have also very bad experiences with them - on his bad luck, he did also deposited here. too late.
bad casino
come with a caution to it they may not pay out if you use their codes weak site
I've heard a lot of poor and bad things about this one, so all opinions and reviews let me decide one thing about this casino - Just search for better place to put Your money in and have fun!
Best regards, iDark
I didn't spend very much time at 'Cool Cat Casino' as I was not overly impressed. The site itself didn't look very impressive, I did have some trouble with my bonus I was unable to cash it for one reason or another, and in the end i decided to just not go there again. The customer service were not overly helpful, this seems like one of these casinos where the Terms and Conditions never end, and they wont just tell you straight what you have to do in order to get money basically. They do have some good games, but like i've said in reviews of other places there are better places to go where there is far more choice of games.
Cool Cat Casino is one of the disreputable Virtual group of RTG casinos and so the LCB warning above should be taken seriously. Even if you join just for fun (like I did), be prepared for annoying and excessive spam, in addition to all the other negative aspects other users have pointed out.
Scamful ... casino, better not using vulgarisms, im not sure if they are not restricted in this site's terms ... :) only bad experiences with this casino, myself as well as some of my known around me.. im lucky that I protected myself from depositing
Cool Cat? no, Dead Cat casino should they be called.
Also at this casino I lost my money, not from playing but it's just because they refused to pay me because I had multiple accounts at this casino. Ridicolous and untrue.
Its very understandable that I never play here anymore.
They are cheaters! I won some money few years ago with no deposit and never got my cash! Avoid!
I am not big fan about this casino, But i cant say any bad thing to :) I never made deposite there and payot to :) But no deposite bonus is great, Hard to get vagering requements, but bonus is good opportuniti to checkout the casino games in real player mode. I always love when i can see how big procentual is to win something.
3 stars from me , for intresting games. :)
This is one of the worst casinos I have had the misfortune of playing at. I am extremely surprised that they still are able to operate. They are constantly issuing bonuses either for deposits or for no deposits. I was a depositing member and because of some type of play through balance i had on my deposit bonus the no deposit code i used became invalid but not until I won a significant amount of money though.
this is one of the worst casinos around. Do not waste your time or money here.
how they are still around i do not know
I like this casino and think its unique because they have their own slot game designed by cool cat casino! I think they need more games but I do like the layout and the fun fast gameplay they offer! I give this casino a 4-star rating!
Dang!!I wish I would have read these posts!!I have a balance right now that I'm playing on and if I hit it big..haha will I encounter the same problems??Mixed reviews here make me nervous.All casinos ask for proof of who you are and ask for ID and or a fax of credit card and blah blah blah:)It's the nature of the beast.
Do not be suckered in by too good to be true match bonus offers. I have never had a decent hit of any kind in this casino even with $500 (including bonus),
It just took 5 times longer to lose it all hitting virtually nothing. Of course if you do happen to be one of the rare winners---I hope you are ready to jump through hoops and have willpower of steel while your withdrawal sits in pending for weeks as you wage your battle for payment.
I would just like to know on my first withdrawal from coolcat why it is taking so long , they had me call them last week and told me i should get it early this week now Friday and nothing, then i call they tell me is should be posted this weekend and if nothing by Wednesday give them a call , it is upsetting to think how long i have been with coolcat and this is my first win ;)
When I first started gambling online back in 2008, Cool Cat was the first casino I made a deposit at without taking a bonus. To be honest I didn't even know about deposit bonuses since this was my first time gambling online. I did quite well off the $35 deposit that I had made, I end up requesting a withdrawal of $780.00. Needless to say my high crashed and burned real fast with the run around, no response to emails, and rude customer support. Long story short after a month of sending and resending in the verification documents I gave up. I sent the casino manager an email voicing how displeased I was with the treatment I was getting from his staff, and heard nothing back. Shortly after that I was locked out of my account, no explanation given. There really is nothing positive I can say about this casino except stay away and play somewhere else.
I really enjoy playing here, they are the very first online casino I ever played at. They have great player incentives, great bonuses as well as freechips. There customer service is top notch which is always a plus. I would definatley recomend playing here.
I've come across many good casinos over the years but this one is one of my favorites. There are so many great bonuses and opportunities to advance. They were also great with withdrawing winnings. I got my money back within the month and didn't have any trouble with customer service either. This is a great casino and should be given more credit.
I won't bother to put any money into an account here!I have made two deposits and am still waiting for my check:(Why did they say they'll pay and then they seem to "lose" your ticket or don't want to pay out/I am rightfully owed money and still can't receive it!Shame on you!!
OMG,reading about Magoo666,I feel so bad for you.I understand your plight!Gambling is expensive and if you don't manage money correctly it can become devastating!I fell into something like you and lost alot of money,,,won't say what site but bad luck sometimes stays bad!Limits are good.plain and simple!I put a certain amount in and play usually till it's gone .I'm terrible,A few times I cashed out and won good bucks,but i'm guilty of constant depositing and not winning.Certain gaming sites have bad reps!You to find one with good support fast responses and quick payouts with alot of bs!I'm sorry i just know this site is no good!I wouldn't play here again!It's flagged i think,
If you search around you can find some really good offers for cool cat.
I found one that suited my needs perfectly and had a great experience. Its just a matter of knowing the rules of the offer and if you arent totally sure just ask support. they can help and they are quick.
I like their freechip offer too. probably gonna try that next
their customer service is the best i've ever come across. a lot of people have had negative experiences with this casino but i think they just don't keep in mind the technicalities and logistics. if you follow their rules, cool cat can give you an amazing time. i love this casino and am a loyal follower.
Hit the feature several times in the very beginning which was nice. After my balance was about 200, then I went downhill. I only hit the feature one more time before switching games. Didn't complete the play through. Completed about 10 percent of the play through before my game play balance was gone. Too bad my game play wasn't consistent, like you win some you lose some, and then you win some again etc. Anyways, this place is nice to try. I have no idea how the pay out is or customer service, sorry. Good luck all.
DO NOT, and I repeat, DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DOT NOT.......EVER even play a freebie at COOL CAT Casino. It may be a Sneaky CAT but it isn't COOL. Just don't go there!
good games and many free chips . was once one of best sites to play slots . high play throughs and I have read of many issues in regards to withdraw . I enjoy the games and recommend
This is a very nice casino! The best one bruh! It don't matter if you win or lose you never see your money again so you can play absolutely stress free and just enjoy that overwhelming feeling you get when you donate your money to somebody stranger. I love it!
Claimed a bonus from this casino.
I did a lot of research on this place before coming here and I've been really impressed with everything Cool Cat offers. Great bonuses, lots of games, and the support staff is the best I've seen. The progressive jackpots are huge! For those alone I'd recommend playing here. I have yet to find another casino who performs to this standard and takes care of their customers so well.
No issues with payouts or withdrawals.. Check it out
It is very simple: DO NOT PLAY AT COOL CAT!
I like many others never saw the cashout I had coming and didn't have the strength to dispute with them...this was back when I was living in the states.
They are a miserable outfit...How the hell do they stay in business?
I can agree with everyone above about do not play here. Unless your goal is just to faux-gamble by rocking bonus code after bonus code and/or take advantage of the players rewards club.... actually even then it's not really worth it. the instant play is flawed, the download is lackluster, the live support is next to non-existent and the bonuses are garbage!
I have had an account here for some time but have only played here once. I have heard bad reviews and complaints about this casino. I will not be playing here again not even with a free chip. Their wagering is ridiculous and cannot be wagered, well it's basically impossible! I have sent a request to close my account of which I have no reply as yet. Their games are boring and do not pay. I played a variety of slots and won small amounts. Their support needs to be relooked at as they are rude and not helpful at all. Glad I encountered this before I made my first deposit. Stay away from this casino
This has to be one of the worst casinos out there. Talk about rogue!!! I remember having to fight tooth and nail for 6 months before my friend finally got paid out! Had to chase down some high ranking officials too just to get a check from them that would CLEAR!!!
I liked coolcat casino but they never seem to want to pay me when i tried to cashout. they were always giving me excuse after excuse of to why they didnt want to pay up so i stop playing there.
CoolCat casino belongs to the notorious GamblingWagesOnline program. There are around 9~10 casinos in this program - Club Player, Prism, Palace of Chance, etc.
There are two rather new casinos - Cirrus and Dreams - these are re-branded from some of their rogue casinos where players eventually stopped depositing.
This kind of re-branding is a typical behavior of the rogue casino.
So, players would better stick to good casinos and must check thoroughly the LCB or other online forums when you intend to play in a new casino.
I hit 8 out of 8 on keno at coolcat and they denied my withdrawal and I got lots of spam emails.
Not only they ignored my payout which I requested some time ago but they keep spamming me every day! This is such a bad casino practice that this casinos and all whole virtual group should be ignored by all players and sites. They are terrible and think we players are dumb. Don't deposit and play here, please.
another bad RTG casino part of group of bad online casinos. they sent me a players reward card that had $100 on in that I could use for depositing at any of the casinos in their group. play didn't last very long. with all the bad things said about them i would never deposit any of my own money.
this casino would not ever verify my account for a withdrawal i sent them different things they would ask for atleast 3 seperate times after submitting my original items like my id, and mail with credit card picture but then they wanted a form i filled out, a copy of my bank statement and something else ii cant recall at the moment but i was asked for these items one at a time taking almost 2 months before i ever got a notice stating that my account could not be verified and to try a list of helpful tips on why this might happen which none of the tips would have applied to why mine wasnt verified.... i just sent an email back asking why it was not enough to verify when they received all that they did and i never got a response so i dont deposit here anymore and i wish i would have known they were a scam like this before i ever did make multiple deposits here
Last I checked in with the virtual group and the cool cat casino, the delays weren't that bad so long as you weren't any kind of bonus whore! They cross check IP address here people. Most casinos do, how else are they to protect themselves???
One of the very first Casino's I started playing at, because it was on nearly every ND-bonus list on the internet. I'm a bit skeptical to deposit here, however I do not have any bad experience to relate that skepticism towards. 2stars because I'm not convinced towards the legitimacy ND-promotion structure.
They allowed me to claim dozens of free consecutive ND chips.
..I think my account balance is void even before I made my first deposit.
I remember when I first started playing casino online, I used to play this one, but now it's boring to me.
a lot of no deposit bonuses but i dont trust they have weird conditions. I have heard they have a great payout delay which i dont like.
I made a deposit here with my Players Rewards Card and didn't win anything! I used to get emails all the time before I made a deposit? I stay clear of these casinos now.
This RTG casino has a long cashout delay, i have play with a deposit bonus and complete the wager and cashout 200$. The Money was 3 weeks later on my neteller account.

Alan Ball is one of the most original voices in film and television today, from his adaptation of American Beauty, to his groundbreaking Six Feet Under, Ball is a new voice for a new generation.
Ball makes his long-awaited theatrical directorial debut on Towelhead, based on the acclaimed novel, that follows the dark, bold and shockingly funny life of Jasira, a 13-year-old Arab-American girl, as she navigates the confusing and frightening path of adolescence and her own sexual awakening. Ball also has a new TV series on the air: True Blood, that puts a new and sexy spin on the vampire genre.
Ball talked exclusively to Paul Fischer:
Question: Towelhead obviously has been around for a little while. I mean, I know it premiered in Toronto a year ago. And with all the changes in the studios and what have you, do you as a filmmaker get a little bit frustrated, having to wait this long to see this film come out?
Ball: Well, certainly as a guy who's used to working in television, it does seem like it took forever. And I think actually two years - we started shooting about two years ago - is not really that long, in movie terms. But you know, I'm used to shooting an episode and it being on the air in a couple of months, so there were elements of it that were frustrating, yeah. Absolutely. But given that it's such a difficult movie to get made, I'm very, very thankful that - you know, everything fell into place every step along the way. It may have taken longer than I had hoped. But I think making it independently was a smart move. And Warner Independent, when they bought it, they really helped me turn it into a better movie.
Question: How so?
Ball: Well, their notes were really smart. And I fought some of them, of course. And I didn't take every single one, and nobody forced me to do anything that I didn't want to do. But the movie is 20 minutes shorter than it was in Toronto and because of that, I think the ending is more powerful.
Question: What was it about this book that really drew you to turn it into a movie?
Ball: I think I just was on board with her journey from page one. I just really felt like I understood why everybody was doing what they were doing. I found the characters so rich and so complicated. And the book didn't tell me what I was supposed to feel. It was a really visceral experience reading it, and at the same time, it was hilarious. And I thought, "These are great characters. I mean, these will be great roles for actors." And then when I got to the end of the book, I really had a genuine sort of cathartic feeling. I felt, "Wow. I really feel like I've been through this journey with her, and I'm so happy that she wasn't destroyed by it. That she wasn't just turned into a victim for life. That she actually came out if it on the other side a deeper, richer, and more powerful person, and sort of taking charge of her own body and her own destiny. And it felt really organic. It didn't feel like a phoney, trumped-up Hollywood ending.
Question: Were any of the notes you were given by Warner Independent an attempt at mainstreaming the material? I mean, was there any attempt at trying to move down the film's sexuality, for example?
Ball: There was some concern about that. But ultimately, when they purchased the movie, Paula Cohen told me, "That's what we like about the movie." And frankly, most of the notes were focused on trimming the length, so that the ending would be more powerful. And in making sure that Jasira's relationship with Thomas felt very different from her relationship with Mr. Vuoso. That it didn't seem just like every single man was totally exploiting her.
Question: What were the challenges in casting Jasira r? Because, I mean, obviously - I imagine that you looked at girls of a variety of ages. Was it important for you to try to find someone old enough that could understand exactly what this character was going through?
Ball: Well, I think the challenge in casting her is just finding somebody who can do it, who looks 13, who looks Middle Eastern, and who is adult enough so that the movie's not going to traumatize them. And I thought, "We're going to have to search the globe to find this girl." And we hired casting directors in Australia and London, New York, Detroit. We saw girls from all over the world. And Summer was living in Pasadena. And, you know, her manager sent her in off a casting breakdown. And the first time I saw her, I thought, "Okay, she looks great, and she looks really innocent, and I love that." Because I think she is innocent. Even though she may act in a provocative way, she's a kid. She doesn't know what she's doing. And so I wanted - and she doesn't know exactly how it's going to play out. And so I wanted her to retain that innocence. And I knew instinctively that as an audience, you just had to love her. And Summer just really brought that. And then later in the process - she was already the front-runner. And the bond company told us, "Well, we're not going to insure the movie unless the actors playing Thomas and Jasira are 18." Summer was 17 at the time. I said, "When do you turn 18?" And she said, "In two weeks." So it really just - you know, it really worked out.
Question: Aaron Eckhart is extraordinary in this movie.
Ball: Yeah. It's among the best work he's ever done, I think.
Question: What do you see in him that convinced you that he would be right for this character?
Ball: You know what role he had played that made me think of him for this? It's not any of his ethically challenged characters. It's the guy in Erin Brokovich. And I saw - I love him in that movie, because he's just so genuine and decent, and such a good guy. And I didn't want Mr. Vuoso to be creepy, or look weird. And the thing I really, really respect Aaron about is that he is fearless. He's not one of those people who thinks, "Oh, well, I'm only going to play heroes, because I'm a commodity, and I don't want to play anything that might make people not like me, because I'm first and foremost a commodity." No. He's an actor. He's an actor, and he loves finding the humanity in these characters, no matter what they may do. And he's also incredibly charming and charismatic, and the camera loves him. And he's also almost - you know, at least in my experience working with him, he's almost without vanity. He really is an actor. He is there to act. That's what he loves, that's his reward. And I really - you know, he was the first guy I saw in my mind when I read the book. And I'm so happy that he said yes. Because he ultimately got the movie financed. And I also think he has done some of the best work he's ever done.
Question: Let me ask you - we live in a very conservative country, in so many ways. How concerned are you about the readiness of mainstream America to accept a lot of what this film is exploring?
Ball: I'm not concerned at all. I really think there's an audience to this movie. I've been around the country, I've seen audiences react to it at screenings. I'm not concerned at all. I know exactly who the people are who are going to make a stink about it, and they're going to try to turn it into something that it's not. And frankly, those are people I have no respect for, and I don't care what they think.
Question: It's obviously extraordinarily empowering, I think, for young women.
Ball: I think so, too!
Question: Do you hope that young women see this film? And what do you hope they get out of it?
Ball: I hope they get out of it that they don't have to be what other people want them to be. That they can - first of all, they can transcend traumatic experience. Our society really likes women to be victims. But they don't have to be victims. That a sort of childlike desire to please people, and to sort of fit the societal expectation of the most important thing for a woman to be is sexually attractive to men - that that's all lies. And it gets people in trouble. And I hope if a young woman saw it she would walk away from it saying, "I am in control of my body. And my destiny." You know? "And nobody can take that away from me."
Question: You're not a writer and director who obviously wants to repeat himself. Tell me about True Blood, and how different you're approaching the genre in this particular work.
Ball: I think I'm approaching it from a different place in that I'm not that familiar with it, so I don't really feel compelled to follow sort of established guidelines or stylistic choices. Once HBO did commit to making the pilot, I started watching a lot of vampire movies, and I very quickly came up with a list of things I did not want to do. I didn't want to hear any opera music. I didn't want silly contact lenses when the fangs came out. And I wanted to avoid that sort of icy metallic-blue light that a lot of vampire movies since the mid- to late-'90s feel like they have to have. I'm just approaching it from the way I approach everything. You know? The characters need to make sense. Their relationships need to be complicated and real. And I need to believe in these characters and their world, and I need to be invested in them.
Question: Are you show runner for the entire season, or are you just doing the pilot?
Ball: No, I was show runner for the entire season.
Question: So you're kept very busy.
Ball: The term "workaholic" jumps to mind. [LAUGHTER]
Question: What are you doing next, do you know yet?
Ball: I probably will focus on the second season of True Blood and then I have a couple screenplays that have been sitting on my shelf, that I'm ready to maybe try to do something with.

M&S Rings the Tills, But Delivers a Cautionary Tale
Although well-regarded as a premium range, high-end food retailer and homeware store chain, Marks & Spencer is first and foremost a seller of fashion.
In this category, few people realise just how popular M&S is to Mr. Joe Public and Ms. Joe Public. It does clothing pretty well, shifting more trousers, dresses, suits, socks and underwear than any other store nationwide.
M&S, Thursday, beat expectations with strong like-for-like second quarter sales across all its divisions. It accelerated away from the first-quarter top line and cruised past weak comparables last year when the recessionary economic maelstrom was in full fury. Read M&S's press statement here.
U.K. like-for-like sales–which don't count takings from new stores–were up 6.5%. Clothing up 7.8%. Read our coverage here.
As a taster, here are some of its fashion bestsellers. It has sold 2,000 military coats, priced at £99, as worn by model Lisa Snowdon in an Autumn television advert, 44,000 linen 'miracle' jackets and trousers at £99 and £49.50, as well as 1.42 million pairs of footwear, including 332,000 boots. It has also sold more than 1,000 'push up' bras each week, priced at £22, since the range was launched in July.
"Customers are returning to quality," Chief executive Marc Bolland said.
And the good news is not just confined to clothing. Food like-for-likes were up 3.7% while online sales jumped 49%.
Bolland, an urbane Dutchman who took over as CEO from Sir Stuart Rose in May, gave an upbeat assessment of where the company is in relation to its competitors. He said it has taken market share away from the length and breadth of the general market across all its retailing categories.
All well and good, but Bolland was not getting carried away with these figures. Not with a dreary macroeconomic outlook casting a lengthening shadow over the industry.
Though he rejects talk of a double-dip, Bolland, nevertheless, has a cautionary tale to tell.
M&S, like other retailers here in the U.K., are concerned that higher fuel costs, tax hikes, austerity spending cuts and fears over job security will knock consumer spending, even as economists say any economic upturn will be slow and fragile.
The coalition government's spending review on Oct. 20, detailing spending plans for the next four years, is also expected to offer little cheer to shoppers.
Three other messages also poisoned the well. Second-half comparables will be much tougher than the first. Rising cotton costs, freight charges and forex headwinds are buffeting primary margins. Thirdly, operating costs will be higher as the group ramps up its marketing push.
The result? No raise in the full-year guidance, much to the disappointment of bullish investors looking for some positive momentum to industry sentiment.
Bolland made it crystal clear that the retailer, which has more than 600 stores in the U.K. and at least another 300 outlets in 40 territories overseas, cannot take anything for granted as it prepares for the key Christmas season.
"Trading conditions are likely to become more challenging as customers' incomes come under greater pressure from VAT increases and public spending cuts," he told reporters.
But he returned to a more upbeat tone, factoring in the stores' demographics. Bolland said the preparedness of the chain's famously loyal and older customer base against the slings and arrows of economic fortune will both bolster store footfall and help sustain sales in a tough period for retail.
"Our customers are a bit older, and what we see clearly from our market data is that older customers are concerned about the cuts, but better prepared than younger customers."
Bolland declared that M&S is ready to ride out the storm. The only problem is no one yet knows its extent, either in severity or duration.

…and a child shall lead them. Isaiah 11:6
There are so many wonderful conferences that are put in place to educate, motivate, encourage and inspire but very rarely do you see a conference that has been exclusively designed for our youth, more specifically our young males. Such a conference does exist and as a community we certainly want to promote and support events like the He Matters "Power of One" Conference that will be taking place this weekend.
On Saturday, November 13, 2010 the He Matters "Power of One" Conference will take place at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab (11100 Johns Hopkins Road, Laurel MD 20723) with the primary purpose of providing "an atmosphere where young males recognize the positive impact of "one" on our community." The conference is for boys from the ages of 7-15 years oldand will include several tracks that focus on topics directly impacting our young male youths including gang involvement, education and so much more. As the conference theme suggests, there is power in one. What each individual participant takes away from the conference will be tools to develop self in order to impact their families, schools, churches, communities and ultimately make a positive difference in the world.
Included among the roster of powerful speakers is Baltimore's very own Chief Judge Robert Mack Bell, lawyer and jurist who also holds the distinct honor of being Maryland's first African American to serve as the Maryland Court of Appeals' Chief Judge.
Several young boys who were previously nominated have been selected to win awards based on achievement/character, academics and community involvement. One of the Baltimore Christian Living Examiner's past interviewees, Mr. Cameron DeVonne Franklin is one of several young boys selected to receive an award at the conference.

Derek and Meredith Shepherd's lives were hanging in the balance when "Grey's Anatomy" went on winter hiatus because of the offer he received from the president but now, according to a Feb. 19 report by Wetpaint, it looks like Derek may have fathered a love child somewhere along the way.
In all probability, Derek will say yes to the president's request which is going to leave Meredith pretty upset. This was supposed to be her turn to pursue her career while he minded the kids. In the promo, she can be seen sitting in the living room with Cristina and looking very unhappy when Derek comes through the front door.
Wetpaint reported that next week's episode, "Take It Back," will supposedly have us wondering 'Is there a little Derek Shepherd running around out there that we never knew about?!' Is he a baby daddy to a love child?
Through ten seasons of "Grey's Anatomy" the only ex of Derek's we've ever met was Addison Montgomery. She didn't have his baby so that begs the question, who did? He did of course date Nurse Rose when he and Meredith were broken up but we're hoping it wasn't her. Of course it is probably someone he met before he ever laid eyes on Meredith. Neither of them seemed to straight-laced which you know if you recall the pilot episode and how Mer and Der met.
Looks like we have one more reason to tune in on Thursday, Feb. 27 when "Grey's Anatomy returns with "Take It Back" – an episode which might reveal Derek is the father of a love child!

But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them that they remain even as I am I - Corinthians 7:19
Many Christians have different views about Valentine's Day, what it represents, its place in Christianity and the life of the believer. Consequently, many people still choose to celebrate the occasion as a day honoring love. And because God is love, there exists a reason to celebrate even beyond a mere day. However, during a holiday that is traditionally geared towards couples, do Christian singles have a reason to celebrate?

Awesome brake pads! Work perfectly. No more squealing brakes!

I am retracting what I said in a prior review. During my last brake pad replacement, I ran into problems with brake calipers. Through a process of elimination 1) possible bad resurfacing of the rotors and 2) possible bad calipers, I eventually found that the calipers were bad. Because I didn't resurface the rotors and HPS 5.0 pads after the multiple changes, the brakes didn't work properly. Hawk recommended 200 grit sanding of pads and rotors and rebedding as recommended. IT WORKED!

This 1920s image shows comedian Eddie Cantor wearing blackface while performing "If You Knew Susie." (AP Photo, File)
"It's constantly a form of entertainment that backs itself into all kinds of trouble, whether political trouble around slavery or a kind of mental trouble having to do with fantasizing about Black people," said Lott, who wrote the 1993 book "Love & Theft: Blackface Minstrelsy & the American Working Class."
As for Hough, he said: "It's just a stupid thing to do. It's a racist thing to do. What blackface does is give the White people privilege of representing Black people, of taking black images and treating them as a thing owned."
Kelsey Crowe, who teaches social work in San Francisco, has been following the fracas on Facebook. She sees more tribute to Crazy Eyes than hatred in Hough's costume. Other recent examples are far more troubling, she said.
"Trayvon Martin, that's awful," Crowe said of two Florida men whose photo circulated on social media ahead of Halloween on Thursday.
One was in blackface with a simulated bloody bullet hole at the chest and the other simulated a gun to the head of the faux 17-year-old while dressed as George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot Trayvon in Florida and was acquitted in court.
She was also "not into" the minstrel costumes in Milan. But the look for Hough "didn't strike me as exploitative at all," she said.
"In other cases blackface is used to make fun of people. I really saw this as a way to embody a character that you like," said Crowe, who will be a cat for Halloween with her 3-year-old daughter.
"Everybody likes the character of Crazy Eyes," she added, "but I guess that could be said of Aunt Jemima, too."
What if the "Rock of Ages" singer, dancer and actress had eliminated blackface from the equation, keeping her simulation of the Bantu knotted hairstyle worn by the character, along with the orange prison jumpsuit she and her friends zipped on as a posse of female inmates from the Netflix series?
"Yes, leave the skin color alone. Leave the stereotypical performance of it and I would imagine to some degree that could be middle ground," Blay said. "People dress up as other people all the time. That's what happens at Halloween. But she didn't do that. And as far as Trayvon, no. Never."

The Catcher in the Rye
by J. D. Salinger
The Catcher in the Rye Chapter 20 Quotes
How we cite the quotes:
Quote 1
Finally I sat down on this bench, where it wasn't so goddam dark. Boy, I was still shivering like a bastard, and the back of my hair, even though I had my hunting hat on, was sort of full of little hunks of ice. That worried me. I thought probably I'd get pneumonia and die. I started picturing millions of jerks coming to my funeral and all. My grandfather from Detroit, that keeps calling out the numbers of the streets when you ride on a goddam bus with him, and my aunts – I have about fifty aunts – and all my lousy cousins. What a mob'd be there. They all came when Allie died, the whole goddam stupid bunch of them. I have this one stupid aunt with halitosis that kept saying how peaceful he looked lying there, D.B. told me. I wasn't there. I was still in the hospital. I had to go to the hospital and all after I hurt my hand. (20.42)
Holden's fantasy quickly turns away from the typical "You'd be sorry if I died" self-centered thought to think about Allie. No matter how many times a person says it is peaceful, death is anything but peaceful—or it shouldn't be. Compare the aunt's use of this word (peaceful) to Holden's confinement to a hospital bed after his own violent reaction to Allie's death.
Quote 2
I've lived in New York all my life, and I know Central Park like the back of my hand, because I used to roller-skate there all the time and ride my bike when I was a kid, but I had the most terrific trouble finding that lagoon that night. I knew right where it was – it was right near Central Park South and all – but I still couldn't find it. […] Then, finally, I found it. What it was, it was partly frozen and partly not frozen. But I didn't see any ducks around. I walked all around the whole damn lake – I damn near fell in once, in fact – but I didn't see a single duck. I thought maybe if there were any around, they might be asleep or something near the edge of the water, near the grass and all. That's how I nearly fell in. But I couldn't find any. (20.40)
Holden is worried that the ducks have vanished – much like his concern, as we see later, that he himself will disappear.
Quote 3
Anyway, I kept worrying that I was getting pneumonia, with all those hunks of ice in my hair, and that I was going to die. I felt sorry as hell for my mother and father. Especially my mother, because she still isn't over my brother Allie yet. I kept picturing her not knowing what to do with all my suits and athletic equipment and all. The only good thing, I knew she wouldn't let old Phoebe come to my goddam funeral because she was only a little kid. That was the only good part. Then I thought about the whole bunch of them sticking me in a goddam cemetery and all, with my name on this tombstone and all. Surrounded by dead guys. Boy, when you're dead, they really fix you up. I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something. Anything except sticking me in a goddam cemetery. People coming and putting a bunch of flowers on your stomach on Sunday, and all that crap. Who wants flowers when you're dead? Nobody. (20.41)
Holden is unable to romanticize the notion of death. To him, it can't be smoothed over with a lovely ceremony and a bunch of flowers. He sees it in its dark practicality – flowers might make some people feel better, but at the end of the day, the dead are still dead.

Affordable Care Act 2013 Update:
Federal healthcare act provisions take effect
1/13/13; Updated 3/14/13
More portions of the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA) kick in this year as the law aims to increase access to affordable healthcare.
Different parts of federal healthcare reform were scheduled to go into effect gradually. Several requirements took effect over the last two years and more changes will come this year and next.
CSEA has been an advocate at the local, state and federal levels to ensure members get the best healthcare possible without sacrificing pay or other benefits. Still, many CSEA members don't qualify for health insurance through their employer. Those who have health insurance find that the costs of premiums, co-payments and deductibles eat up a bigger chunk of their paychecks. The ACA was championed by President Barack Obama to ensure more people have the health coverage they need.
Starting this year, the law will provide more federal funds to cover preventative care at little or no cost to MediCal recipients. The goal of this provision is to increase the number of people who get preventative care. California lawmakers are are meeting in a special session to determine how to implement this portion of the law.
The federal mandate now requires the state to pay MediCal primary care providers as much as Medicare providers. The federal government will pay for the increase. This is designed to ensure there are enough doctors to care for everyone when the mandate to have insurance kicks in next year.
A major goal of the ACA is to increase the number of people who can afford healthcare. States are required to create healthcare exchanges, where private insurers can offer state-approved plans that will allow consumers to easily compare and purchase healthcare. The insurers in the exchange will have to comply with cost and coverage guidelines set by the law. So far, 33 different private insurance plans have applied to become part of California's exchange.
California's healthcare exchange, called Covered California (Covered CA), is expected to be up and running by October. The open enrollment period for the exchange will be from October 2013 to January 2014 and coverage will begin on Jan. 1, 2014.
Anyone who is not covered by MediCal but meets income guidelines will have to buy health insurance through Covered CA in order to receive government subsidies for premiums and out-of-pocket costs.
Californians can visit the Covered California website to see descriptions of the four types of health plans that will be available through the exchange and to use an online calculator to see if they qualify for subsidies. Once the website is fully functional, Californians will be able to purchase insurance through this website. Guidance will be available for those who need help navigating through the exchange and eventually call centers will be opened to help people find coverage and register.
Another goal of the law, besides reducing costs to consumers, is increasing patient protection. In order to provide more transparency in the healthcare industry, the law now requires healthcare providers such as doctors, hospitals and pharmacists to tell patients in writing if they make money from drugs or treatments they recommend to patients.

Huskies reschedule annual clinic to 12 PM CT before the CMU match Oct. 27
NIU hits the West Coast for the first time since 1997
NIU will not play at home again until Sept. 28
NIU welcomes North Dakota State, Wichita State and New Mexico State to annual event
NIU returns All-MAC middle blocker duo Angelos and Kurisch for 2012 season
Former Lakeland College (Sheboygan, Wis.) standout Joe Julkowski enters his third season as an assistant coach with the Huskies in 2014.
Julkowski joined NIU's staff in 2012, where he co-directed the team camps and assisted with scouting and recruiting. He also trains the team's defensive specialists and hitters, along with handling video and media coordinator duties.
"Having the addition of Joe just compliments our group," said NIU Head Coach Ray Gooden at the time of his hiring. "We are excited to have him. He has a great presence about him, works really hard, and comes in with head coaching experience, which helps our group. He's going to be a great asset not only to the players but to the program and department as well.
"We plan on having him be a big contributor in the gym, help run practices and do things on the tech side with scouting and other training tools. His main focus will be in the gym. He will also help out on the road recruiting and be our director of camps."
For Julkowski, the job provides him with a chance to return to his home state and move from the NCAA Division III level to Division I at a place where he is familiar with.
"I have a friend who is an NIU alum who said a lot of good things about Ray and knew [Assistant Coach] Lynnette [Moster]," said Julkowski. "Immediately, I was already drawn because of the coaching staff. I hope to get great experience from them and bring different things to the table.
"Secondly, my brother graduated from Northern. I love the campus and atmosphere -- love the state school atmosphere. I came from a school that was smaller so it's great to have this big atmosphere but still have a hometown feel."
Prior to his arrival at NIU, Julkowski spent the last six years at Lakeland College with the men's collegiate club volleyball team. From 2006-10 as a player, he was the catalyst of Lakeland's four straight Wisconsin Volleyball Conference (WVC) championships. Not only did Julkowski have the Muskies in the Wisconsin spotlight, he had them in the national mix. In 2008, the Muskies went all the way to the top, winning the their first National Collegiate Volleyball Federation (NCVF) Division I national championship over Illinois. It wasn't just a one-year wonder either, as the Muskies fell in the national finals in 2007 and 2010 and were national semi-finalists in 2009.
A stellar playing career at Lakeland left Julkowski as a three-time NCVF All-American, two-time WVC MVP, and four-time all-conference performer. He holds the program records for kills (1,905) and aces (271) in a career.
As soon as his playing days as a Muskie were over, Julkowski quickly made the transition to coaching and served as a graduate assistant coach for the program in 2011. Lakeland finished with an 18-27 record, 8-10 in conference, and had a first round exit from the NCVF National Championships.
A year later, Julkowski was named head coach and guided the Muskies to a 22-24 mark, 6-7 in conference, and led them to the NCVF quarterfinals. Doing this all while being responsible for every aspect of team management, including recruiting, travel, scheduling, budgeting, equipment and apparel, fundraising, academic eligibility, study hall supervision, and all aspects of practice and game management.
"I'm hoping to make an impact on everyone I come across," Julkowski said. "I know the girls, Ray, and Lynnette will have an impact on me. I just want to have an impact on them, on their careers and lives. I also want to win but not at the expense of an education. NIU volleyball wins and does it in the classroom too. Both are important to me and I want to do it the right way. One of my goals is to help get this program past the NCAA second round. We want to win the MAC and keep pushing from there."
The 25-year-old Julkowski graduated from Lakeland in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and is a product of Glenbard North High School in Carol Stream, Ill.

San Francisco Circumcision Ban?
San Francisco Circumcision Ban? – Lately San Francisco has earned a name as the city of banning, adding a new proposal to the ballot that could end circumcision in the California city. Lloyd Schofield, the man who penned the ballot proposal which would make it a misdemeanor offense to circumcise has called the ritual genital mutilation. He admits that it will be a controversial measure that might not pass, but that isn't stopping him from supporting it himself and trying to spread the word as to how people should vote on it.
The Center for Disease Control still hasn't reached a verdict on whether circumcisions are actually cleaner or more sanity than leaving the penis uncircumcised. They have promised the public recommendations as to what new parents should do with their children so as to give them the best chances of being healthy. A majority of medical groups and organizations do not hold any particular views on the subject as it has not really been studies all that thoroughly. The CDC's investigation into it promises to be one of the first real studies to determine the health value of circumcision if any. This will give parents a way of determining for themselves whether or not they want to get their children circumcised at a young age or just avoid it completely.
