Gardener of Good and Evil, who literally dug it up from a ditch in Wisconsin and brought it back to me in a bucket in the back seat of her car. That's true gardening friendship!
What's blooming in your garden today?
Your garden is looking lush and colorful! All is well here in ATX gardens with all this wonderful rain! What kind of yucca is that in the last photo? It's got great form.
Most of the garden is great. Except the black foot daisies. They are drowning and several of them are dying before my eyes. So sad. I'll need them in August! I'll try to remember about the yucca - I've had it a long time...
I can't wait till my santolina looks like yours. those yellow buttons are the cutest!
I don't know how you do it...I have the same plants (well, not all of them) and mine are 1/10th the size of yours! That winecup! And the zinnias! And let me go on and on about that bird of Paradise. I'm pretty sure it's going on my "must have" list for next year....and pineapple guava...and and and ... Gorgeous bloom day, Diana, I must get over to see it when we dry out a bit.
Stunning photos, as always. I love that salvia. I may have to plant some. I have been wanting salvia anyway, but hadn't decided on the type.
Robin - Thanks. You've gotta remember though that the wine cup has been there for years and it thrives in that decomposed granite. My bird of paradise is new from last year out in the not much water bed - of course the rain has been great out there!
suzie -- My santolina went in last spring so it's the first time it has bloomed and I'm loving it, too. And that the santolina keeps such a nice, small shape.
Cristy - I love salvias - there are more than 200 of them and I have about 10 of them. They love the heat and the deer don't eat them - so they're great for me!
I love that Mexican Bird of Paradise! wow, stunning.
I just bought a Gray Santolina, think I was envisioning yours from a previous picture. :-)
Your garden is looking beautful! I've seen the pineapple guava flowers and didn't know what it was, thanks for the ID. If you ever want to take another shot at those day lillies, let me know, I'll come dig them out :)
You can't share enough photo of that front bed. It is lovely. Also, if you are looking for a home for some of those daylilies then I have a good home for them. Maybe in September. I think that is the time to move them. Have ag reat time at the Fling. Will be looking for your pots.

Background There is considerable interest in the possible role of vitamin D in respiratory disease, but only one population-based study has reported associations with lung function.
Methods The cross-sectional relationships of total dietary vitamin D intake, serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations and three vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms (Apa1, Fok1 and Cdx2) with lung function and spirometrically-defined chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were investigated in men and women aged 59–73 years in the Hertfordshire Cohort Study, UK.
Results After controlling for confounders, total vitamin D intake was positively associated with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1; difference in FEV1 between top and bottom quintiles of intake 0.079 l (95% CI 0.02 to 0.14), p trend=0.007, n=2942), ratio of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC; p trend=0.008) and negatively associated with COPD (OR comparing top and bottom quintiles 0.57 (95% CI 0.38 to 0.87), p trend=0.02). In contrast, serum 25(OH)D concentrations were not related to FEV1 (p trend=0.89, n=1197) but were positively associated with COPD (p trend=0.046). VDR genotypes were unrelated to lung function and did not modify the effects of dietary intake or 25(OH)D concentrations on lung function.
Conclusions The results of this study did not confirm a positive association between blood 25(OH)D concentrations and adult lung function. The apparent relationships with dietary vitamin D are likely to be explained by other highly correlated nutrients in the diet.
Funding The study was funded by the MRC, UK.
Competing interests None.
Ethics approval This study was conducted with the approval of the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire local research ethics committee and the West Hertfordshire local research ethics committee.
Provenance and peer review Not commissioned; externally peer reviewed.

Eugene Sauve, owner of the Landmark Cafe, is not pleased with the view in front of his establishment.

Damage can be seen to a couple of yards in Victoria, where residents say they're unhappy with the lack of response by the province over snowplows digging into their properties.

"We've never seen damage like this," said Eugene Sauve, owner of Landmark Café.
By Madison Blanchard
The Guardian
With less snow and less plowing, Victoria residents thought they were in for fewer problems this year. Instead, the lack of snow seems to have led to bigger ruts in the scenic village's lawns.
"We've never seen damage like this," said Eugene Sauve, owner of Landmark Café. He says he recently returned from a trip abroad and was astonished by the damage in the village.
"It's almost four feet into the lawn. The amount of damage is unbelievable."
Grass has been dug up on almost every lawn in Victoria due to plow damage, and there's no snow to cover it.
"The last three years, damage has been minimal, minimal, and this year, it's just incredible," said Sauve.
Henry Dunsmore, who runs the Studio Gallery in Victoria, says the damage is a yearly problem, but this year it is more noticeable.
"It's probably the worst it's ever been," he said.
Dunsmore said a new company had taken over the plowing this year and with substantially less snow it was hoped the damage would be minimal.
"It's never been this bad," he said.
Even with last winter's significant amount of snow, the damage to lawns wasn't bad, though most signs in the village were knocked down.
He says he has called in complaints numerous times over the years and always hears the same argument: the ground is soft and hasn't hardened yet and so there is bound to be damage.
"The argument that the ground is soft doesn't make any sense…..Knowing that why don't they raise the blades?"
Victoria is a tourist destination, said Dunsmore, something the provincial government is aware of, and having ugly lawns could impact tourism.
"They go through the village and (cause) damage, then they have to come repair," he said. "There's a cost involved. It just seems like a waste of money."
He says typically any repairs are done in May, which means there isn't a lot of time for the grass to grow before June when the tourists begin to arrive.
"There's got to be something that can be done and I think communication is one."
The Guardian attempted to get a comment from the Department of Transportation, but had not received a response before going to press.

Nice and cosy apartment with a marvellous roof terrace. Positive: everything is available to make a decent meal, the apartment is clean, it has a "double bed" (not a twin bed) and a nice view from the terrace. Only point that could be improved: the amount of hot water due to the capacity of the boiler.
This is a really new apartment. Although it's not in the down town but very near to the metro station. With the taxi from down town to the apartment you just need to pay about 10 Euro.
What not good we feel is: there is NO WIFI or INTERNET! It's really extremely inconvenient! Especially for the tourists, who want search for the route or sth. else.
Perfect located. It´s a small studio but the large terrace makes all the difference. Very well equipped kitchen, and nice large bathroom.
We had a great stay in Sevilla at Carmen's appartment!
everything was clean and nice! The owner was very helpful and recommended the best Tapas bars in the City... we Location was perfect, we had a few minutes walk to plaza de Hercules and about 10 Minutes walk to all sight seeing buildings.
This really is a great apartment. We stayed 4 nights there and loved it. The representative was there to meet us and show us the apartment and gave good advice about the area. It is a very spacious, comfortable apartment, true to the photos in the advertisement. The location is excellent. It is 3 minutes walk to the Cathedral plaza and about 2 minutes the other way to the riverside. We had no trouble finding our way around.
Thoroughly recommended.
Highly recomend this apartment to anybody. German received my wife and I and was 100% available and help us everytime we needed.
The location is good, 10 mins walk to the cathedral! The apartment is clean and confortable, with good wi-fi.
Don't hesitate!
We booked this quite last minute so were uncertain about the arrangements to get the key. We were relieved to find German waiting for us at the door. The apartments are fresh and newly decorated. Our second floor place looked over the noisy, narrow street as well as the narrower side street. On the nearby Plaza Alameda de Hercules, there are many restaurants and bars, very nice. The linens are good, the shower is great. There is a washer and dryer available on the second floor landing, with soap. As these are new rentals, they are still fine tuning the facilities. It would be nice to see kitchen towels, a full length mirror, a few more hooks for backpacks, towels, coats, etc. On departure, we were unable to arrange for key drop-off and final payment, but assume they got it.
We loved this apartment! It was spacious, very clean and check in process was smooth and friendly! The big surprise was this apartment's amazing location! We were steps away from the bridge (foot friendly) which lead right into the historic city center. We loved that this apartment was in the Triana district, famous for beautiful, affordable pottery....I highly recommend the large pottery store which you can see from the balcony of the living room. Yougurt shop directly underneath apartment was great for our kids each night. Recycle stations were super close which we appreciated! There is a lovely market to the left with delicious croissants and lots of fresh fruit....little advice for Americans who are used to pinching the fruit...don't do it here....just admire the display and let the shopkeeper choose the fruit for you from behind the counter. We got snapped at : ) Be advised to bring your OWN shampoo, soap, blowdryer. This was probably the only downside. We traveled by air, so we weren't carrying shampoos, etc and had to buy low quality supplies at the dime store. Otherwise perfect stay!
Thank you for the fantastic apartment in the wonderful city of Seville!
Those looking for a place to relax for a day or two on a hectic tour of the region, will love this place. An amazing place with very friendly hosts. Don't miss out on the best Sangria ever made at the local pub just around the corner!

Fortunately, there are many measures you can take to fight health care fraud:

Guard your Medicare number. Protect it the same way you do for your credit card numbers. Medicare will never contact you for your Medicare number or other personal information. Don't share your Medicare number or other personal information with anyone who contacts you by phone, email, or by approaching you in person, unless you've given them permission in advance.

Don't ever let anyone borrow or pay to use your Medicare number.

If you're looking to enroll in a Medicare plan, be suspicious of anyone who pressures you to act now for the best deal. There are no "early bird discounts" or "limited time offers." Any offer that sounds too good to be true probably is.

Be skeptical of offers for free gifts and free medical services. A common ploy of identity thieves is to say they can send you your free gift right away—they just need your Medicare number to confirm. Decline politely but firmly.

Do your part to protect your friends and neighbors: remind them to guard their Medicare numbers, too.

Check your Medicare Summary Notice (MSN)–which gives you information on services submitted under your Medicare number–to make sure you and Medicare are only being charged for services you actually received. While the MSN is only mailed to you every 3 months, you can access your Original Medicare claims at any time on MyMedicare.gov. You'll usually be able to see a claim within 24 hours after Medicare processes it.

Make sure your agent has right infoIf you receive your homeowner or automobile insurance renewal and think the premium doesn't seem right, it's a good idea to check in with your insurance agent to make sure the company is using accurate information in the rating of your policy. Insurers use many factors to determine the amount you pay for insurance, some of which include where you live, the type and value of the property you are insuring, your driving record, marital status and your driving habits.

You should confirm all of that information is accurate, including your social security number, which insurers collect to get your credit score. Most insurance companies use information in your credit history and other factors to calculate your rate. Each company weighs these factors differently, so your credit score's effect on your insurance rates will vary from company to company. Additionally, the credit history of the first person named as the insured on a policy might be used in rating. Be sure to ask your agent about how that can affect your rates.

If your insurance agent or company has any of this information incorrect, it can result in you paying more—or less--than you should for your insurance.

However, you should be aware that most homeowner policies do not cover everything you own.

Here are some common features that people may think is covered by a standard homeowner policy.

Outside your home:

Retaining walls

Pools that sit above and below ground

Gazebos

Spas/hot tubs

Rockeries and other landscaped areas

Driveways

Sidewalks

Foundations

Fences

Pump houses

Garden sheds

Greenhouses

Playground equipment

Inside your home:

Collectibles

Money

Jewelry

Artwork

Musical instruments

Talk to your agent or broker to find out if items like these are covered. If coverage isn't available, you'll want to maintain and safeguard the property at your own cost, and do the best you can to keep it from damage. It's a good idea to have a discussion about these types of property before you buy a policy.

We are reaching the end of a "normal" fire season, thanks to this year's snowpack and spring rain. While that is good news, the more than 15,000 acres that have burned are at higher risk for flash flooding and mudflows. Vegetation absorbs water and reduces runoff that causes mudflows. Even areas that are not historically prone to flood are at risk due to the landscape changes caused by fire. Flood risk remains high until vegetation grows back, up to five years after the fire. That means that the million-plus acres that burned the last two summers are still at higher risk for flooding and mudflows.

Homeowner's and commercial insurance policies do not cover flood or mudflow damage. Consumers who want to protect their property must purchase a flood policy, available only through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Most properties qualify for flood insurance, as long as it is located in a community that participates in the program.

Typically, there is a 30-day waiting period before your flood insurance policy takes effect. This time of year is a good time to do some research into flood insurance, before the fall and winter weather that can bring floods start in earnest.

Consumers looking for health insurance outside of the annual open enrollment period should be wary of short term health plans. These plans may be marketed as alternatives to Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance, but they could leave you without adequate coverage and facing financial penalties at tax time.

Originally, short-term health plans were sold as a stop-gap measure until you could get real major medical coverage. After the ACA kicked in, people had many other options for coverage, but these limited plans were still being marketed to consumers as a viable alternative. However, short-term plans do not count as 'minimum essential coverage' under the ACA - meaning you'll have to pay a tax penalty. They also do not cover the 10 essential health benefits, can limit your annual benefits to $100,000 or less, and deny you coverage for any pre-existing conditions.

These policies are sold year-round, unlike ACA-plans that must be purchased during the annual open enrollment period, unless you qualify for a special enrollment. Some states allow for coverage to last up to a year and policies can be renewed. This effectively takes people out of the insurance pool that the ACA was designed to expand, leading to increased costs for everyone.

In an effort to bring the limited short-term health plans back to their original purpose and to protect consumers, the federal government is proposing a regulation to limit the duration of these policies to three months and increase consumer awareness of their limitations.

Insurance Commissioner Kreidler agrees with this effort and sent a letter yesterday in support of the new regulation.Stephanie firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414498072990582699.post-60582042667023587372016-08-05T10:38:00.001-07:002016-08-05T10:38:16.201-07:00Learn more about Medicare at free event Aug. 6 in Kent

It may surprise you to hear that there's a connection between breastfeeding and insurance.

The Affordable Care Act requires most health insurance plans to provide breastfeeding and lactation support, equipment and counseling to women during and after pregnancy as long as they are breastfeeding.

While insurers must cover breast pumps, plan vary by what type of pump they cover, if they help pay for a rental or purchased pump, and if the pump needs to be pre-authorized. Contact your insurance company to find out what your plan covers.

Insurance plans must also cover lactation support for mothers and babies who are having trouble with breastfeeding or pumping.

According to womenshealth.gov, babies who are breastfed have lower risks of many health conditions including asthma, ear infections, SIDS, type 2 diabetes and respiratory infections. Breastfeeding also benefits mothers' health, promotes infant-mother bonding and is more economical than buying formula.

It's important to consider all your options when deciding between COBRA or buying your own plan.

What is COBRA? COBRA stands for the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act, which is a federal law that allows you and any of your immediate family members to stay on your employer's health plan under certain circumstances :

You lose or quit your job

You get a divorce

The employee dies

You are no longer covered as a dependent due to your age

Only employers with 20 or more workers in the previous year are required to offer COBRA coverage. State and local governments fall under COBRA, but the federal government and certain religious organizations do not.

COBRA can be expensive. People who choose COBRA coverage must pay the entire premium, including the portion previously paid by the employer, plus a 2 percent administrative fee. Be warned, if you enroll in COBRA and later on want to switch to a health plan directly to an insurance company or through the Washington Healthplanfinder, you will have to wait until the next open enrollment period if you don't qualify for a special enrollment.

Options other than COBRA
Before you decide to go with COBRA, find out if you can buy a health plan through the Washington Healthplanfinder and receive a subsidy to help pay your insurance premiums. You can also purchase coverage directly from an insurance company, broker or agent if you don't qualify for any subsidies.

If you choose a health insurance plan, you likely will be responsible for a full yearly deductible. Generally, health insurance deductibles are not prorated for partial-year enrollees, no matter how few months are left in the plan year. Individual or family qualified health plans operate on a calendar year, from January through December. There is no way to transfer the money you spent toward another plan's deductible when you switch plans mid-year.

The Fourth of July is the quintessential summer holiday, but it's also one of the busiest days for public safety agencies. Do your part by being safe around fireworks and in general.

Insurance policies generally cover fires that are accidental in origin. We recommend you talk to your insurance agent or broker about your coverage in the event of a fire or injury on your property.

Many municipalities in Washington have banned the use of fireworks. Washington State Patrol has a list of fireworks laws in Washington cities. They also have a list of public fireworks displays in Washington.

If guests are injured by a personal display of fireworks, the homeowner policy may include medical coverage and personal liability coverage. View the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has an infographic about fireworks injuries.

Here are some tips from the CPSC on fireworks safety:

Never allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks.

Always have an adult supervise fireworks activities. Parents don't realize that young children suffer injuries from sparklers. Sparklers burn at temperatures of about 2,000 degrees - hot enough to melt some metals.

Never place any part of your body directly over a fireworks device when lighting the fuse. Back up to a safe distance immediately after lighting fireworks.

Keep a bucket of water or a garden hose handy.

Light fireworks one at a time, then move back quickly.

Douse spent fireworks device with water from a bucket or hose to prevent a trash fire.

Make sure fireworks are legal in your area before buying or using them.

Commissioner Kreidler and Judy Ellis, SHIBA volunteer
with Sound Generations in Shoreline

SHIBA stands for Statewide Health Insurance Benefits Advisors. It's a statewide network of nearly 400 highly trained volunteers who have been helping seniors and others understand their health insurance options for more than 35 years in Washington state. Washington was the first state in the nation to establish a SHIBA program, before the federal government offered assistance in reaching out the consumers who are or are about to be enrolled in Medicare.

Medicare provides health coverage for nearly 45 million Americans who are age 65 and older, and for 7 million younger adults with permanent disabilities. Medicare has been in existence for 51 years, which really isn't that long ago.

Attendees at the Medicare birthday event

on June 18 in Shoreline <o:p></o:p>

Commissioner Kreidler recalled for the attendees a time before Medicare existed when his grandmother had to move in with his parents because she was ill and didn't have health coverage. Her medical bills prohibited her from living on her own. If Medicare had existed, it would have provided a lifeline for her to have access to the health care she needed.

SHIBA offers free, unbiased assistance with health care choices, including Medicare, to more than 100,000 Washington residents each year. You can find more SHIBA events around the state at http://bit.ly/SHIBAevents.

Senate Bill 6569 directed the task force to focus on two key areas:

1. Evaluating factors that contribute to out-of-pocket costs for patients and to the state.
2. Considering the health and economic impact of out-of-pocket patient costs to patients and to the state.

If you have particular expertise in this area and represent patient groups, insurance companies, pharmacists, pharmacy benefit managers, unions, business associations, or biotechnology representatives please consider joining this important task force.

Members of the task force will be asked to attend no more than four half-day, in-person meetings in the Puget Sound region between July 1 and Dec. 1, 2016.

Insurance companies are not required to credit money consumers already paid in cost sharing from prior plans but sometimes they do for employer-sponsored replacement policies. If you lose employer-sponsored insurance in the middle of the year, and you've already met your deductible the year, you may want to consider COBRA for the rest of the calendar year and get an individual or family plan during open enrollment.

If COBRA is not an option, you likely will be responsible for a new, full deductible. Generally, health insurance deductibles are not prorated for partial-year enrollees, no matter how few months are left in the plan year. Individual or family qualified health plans run from January through December. There is no way to recoup the additional money you may spend towards your health insurance deductible when you switch plans mid-year after paying the first plan's deductible. However, sometimes medical and dental expenses like deductibles, co-pays and coinsurance can be deducted from your federal taxes, which will lower the taxes you pay that year.

When you choose a health insurance plan, it will be important to understand what your insurance company covers without requiring you to pay your deductible. Then you can decide whether you want a plan with lower monthly premiums and higher deductible or one with a higher monthly premium and a lower deductible. Many health plans cover some services such as emergency room or routine doctor visits such as preventive care without requiring you to pay toward your deductible.

Deductible amounts vary by plan and can be separated into individual or family deductibles. Some health plans also cover other benefits like doctor visits and prescription drugs even if you haven't met your deductible.

Your best course of action is to read your policy and contact the insurance company to find out more about the health plan's benefits.

If you have questions about your plan or your rights as a consumer, you can contact our consumer advocates online or at 1-800-562-6900.

Of course you'll need to see a provider who is part of your plan's provider network.

However, despite this new reform, we do hear consumers who've had a routine preventive colonoscopy only to have their insurer process their claim as "cost-shared diagnostic care," which is subject to their annual deductible and coinsurance.

We also sometimes hear from consumers who receive a substantial surgical bill when a polyp is discovered and removed during a preventive colonoscopy. The Affordable Care Act and other federal guidelines protect consumers from extra charges for polyp removal during a preventive colonoscopy. If you receive a bill for polyp removal, you should file a complaint with us and we'll help you get those charges reversed.

If you are diagnosed with colon cancer, any previous related symptoms may result in your provider processing the cancer screening as diagnostic and not preventive. In that case, your treatment would not be covered as preventive care and you'll likely have additional costs. If you have any questions, check with your doctor.

Be aware that if a procedure or treatment is not a recommended preventive service, it may be subject to your plan's deductible and cost-sharing. Also, if a medical recommendation or guideline regarding a preventive service does not specify the frequency, method, treatment, or setting for that service, your insurer may limit your coverage.
Here are some important tips to remember:

If you have any questions, first talk to your doctor or medical provider and your insurance company.

Read more about which health benefits are required under the ACA.

If you receive a bill from your insurance company that you disagree with, request an appeal.

In addition, file a complaint with us.

A federally funded and volunteer-based program, SHIBA/SMP volunteers provide education on how to prevent, detect and report Medicare fraud.

Medicare is the national health care plan for all U.S. citizens age 65 and older. It also covers people younger than age 65 who receive Social Security Disability Income and people who are diagnosed with certain medical conditions.

In Washington state, SHIBA/SMP volunteers help protect seniors and fight health care fraud, leaving more money in the system for everyone. Our state's volunteers educate beneficiaries on how to avoid becoming victims of health care fraud, and how to report abuse or fraud, related to their Medicare benefits.

We all pay a price for Medicare fraud, waste and abuse, which contributes significantly to rising health care costs. There are three things you can do to help fight Medicare fraud:

Know your rights. As a person with Medicare, you have certain rights and protections designed to help protect you and make sure you get the health care services the law says you can get.

Protect your identity. Identity theft happens when someone uses your personal information without your consent to commit fraud or other crimes. Keep this personal information safe:

Your name.

Your Social Security Number (SSN).

Your Medicare number (or your membership card if you're in a Medicare Advantage or other Medicare health plan).

Your credit card and bank account numbers.

Get involved with other seniors with the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP). The SMP educates and empowers people with Medicare to take an active role in detecting and preventing health care fraud and abuse.

Consumer protection is part of our mission, which is reflected in the way we do business. Our consumer advocates can help:

Answer questions about home, auto, health, life, annuities, business and other insurance.

Understand your insurance rights, including your health insurance appeal rights and the process.

Look into complaints against insurance companies.

Provide you with information about your insurance options.

Verify if an agent, agency, or company is authorized to sell insurance in Washington state.

In 2015, our consumer advocates fielded 6,130 consumer complaints and helped recover more than $9.1 million in insurance billings, refunds and other claims-related issues for Washington citizens. Read more about the ways we helped consumers in 2015.

We share information of interest to insurance consumers on this blog and through our social media channels. Many of our blog posts are generated by questions our consumer advocates receive from Washington citizens.

Such events include, but are not limited to:

Losing health insurance, including an employer plan or individual health plan

Losing Apple Health (Medicaid) because you no longer qualify

Giving birth to or adopting a child

Permanently moving to a new area where your current plan doesn't provide coverage

Your employer not paying your COBRA premiums on time

Your COBRA coverage ending or reaching the lifetime limit

Your dependent turning age 26 and losing their coverage on your employer plan

Getting married or entering into a domestic partnership

Getting divorced or ending a domestic partnership

Cancelling your Washington State Health Insurance Pool (WSHIP) coverage

Your health plan no longer being offered for sale in Washington state

Most special enrollment periods are limited to 60 days from the qualifying event. Keep in mind that you won't qualify for special enrollment if you voluntarily cancel your health insurance or if your insurer cancels you because you didn't pay your premium.

If you don't qualify for special enrollment, here's some resources that may help you afford medical care.

Next year's open enrollment for individual and family coverage starts Nov. 1, 2016.

We hear from many consumers who are trying to resolve their auto total loss claims with their own insurer or another insurer. A total loss is when a vehicle is in a collision and the insurance company determines it would cost more than the vehicle is worth to repair it, so they "total" it.

Once an insurer declares a vehicle a total loss, they owe you the retail market value of your car, plus sales tax. But how do you know if the amount the insurer offers you is a reasonable estimate of the retail market value? Many consumers don't know they have the right to, and should, ask the insurance company for a total loss valuation report, which shows the comparable auto data the insurer used to calculate your vehicle's value. Most insurance companies don't automatically provide the report to consumers and there's no requirement that they provide it without being asked.

Insurers can either give you cash for your vehicle's retail value or offer to replace your vehicle with a comparable vehicle in your area.

Ask us anyway Recently, a Washington consumer posted a story on Facebook about her brother, who was on the waiting list for a heart transplant but was being put on hold because of "paperwork" issues with the insurance company. She asked her Facebook friends to file a complaint with the Insurance Commissioner, resulting in more than 40 complaints to our office.

One of our consumer advocates looked into the complaint and determined that the insurance provider was Apple Health, our state's Medicaid program that is overseen by the Washington state Health Care Authority. In other words, we have no authority over the plan. But that didn't deter our consumer advocate from trying to help.

First, we reached out to the Facebook user and asked her to let people know that they should contact the Health Care Authority with complaints about Apple Health. Then our consumer advocates reached out to the Health Care Authority to make sure this complaint was received and addressed as a high priority. The next day, we got an email from the concerned sister that said, "Thank you so much for your response and directing my complaint to the proper department. Today (my brother) got his insurance straightened out and is back at A1 status. Thanks again!"

We want people to be aware of this for two reasons: First, helping consumers access insurance is one of our missions, even if it's not something we regulate. So even if you're not sure if we can help you, reach out to us anyway. If we can't help, chances are that we know someone who can. Second, social media is a powerful tool and is a way to quickly escalate a consumer problem. We have a robust social media presence, so don't be afraid to reach out to us on Facebook or Twitter. We will make sure to get you to the right person.

Hepatitis C is a good example. New drugs are now used to cure this life-threatening liver ailment with proven success. But the pills are costly, ranging from $55,000 to almost $95,000 per patient for a standard 12-week treatment period.

Two nationwide organizations, the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the Infectious Disease Society of America, now recommend that most patients receive treatment even if they are in the early stage of the disease versus waiting until it has progressed.

Last November, the federal government encouraged states to ensure that health coverage policies are "informed" by the treatment guidelines noted above. Unfortunately we do not have the authority to mandate that insurance companies abide by the guidelines. However, we do expect insurers to be current on all appropriate guidelines that best serve consumers. That is true for all types of treatments.

We recently asked health insurers in Washington if they were aware of the new guidelines and if they were making any changes to how they were treating patients with this disease. The responses were varied, but there were common themes:

• No company excludes treatment.
• All allow testing to detect the disease.
• All recommend that patients consult their doctors on the best course of action.

What's also evident is that insurers are trying to manage their claims costs. That's not unexpected. Future prescription drugs for ailments such as multiple sclerosis and high cholesterol are expected to cost even more than the hepatitis C treatment.

The emphasis for insurers, though, should be on ready access to appropriate treatment that leads to a healthier state and nation overall.

If you believe you've not getting access to prescription drugs or other necessary treatment, we can help you understand your rights to appeal and even contact your insurer on your behalf.

How can I find out the reason for the increase? Consumers frequently ask us this question. Your agent or insurer should be able to provide you with an explanation other than "there was a general rate increase." We recommend that you obtain a policy-specific premium breakdown directly from your agent, and that you ask for a rate worksheet comparison between your old premium and your new premium.

Every policy is priced differently, depending upon the type of coverage you want and what are called underwriting factors.

Underwriting factors for auto insurance may include:

Household/family driver records.

Driver(s) age(s).

Type of vehicle(s).

The number of miles you drive per year.

Where you live and/or drive your car.

Level of coverage being purchased

There may be surcharges or discounts unique to your situation.

Underwriting factors for homeowner's insurance may include:

The age of your home.

The materials used to build your home.

Your home's value, as based upon its size and features.

Your home's location.

Prior claims or losses for the home.

Yumm, sound good. I am starting to use bacon fat for all kinds of things. Previously I would just toss the stuff out, now it is like liquid gold.
Yumm, sound good. I am starting to use bacon fat for all kinds of things. Previously I would just toss the stuff out, now it is like liquid gold.
You get used to it after a while Keep that stuff..I use it with eggs too...
Most people here really like bacon (I mean who doesn't), but I'm wondering about the sodium content. Any bacon is extremely high in sodium by definition. I try to keep my sodium content low, is that not a concern of others? I know the occasional high sodium meal isn't going to cause any harm but I've noticed that people are eating a lot of foods that contain really high sodium levels. As usual, the recommended level of 2000mg per day is way out of whack. We probably need more along the lines of 250-500mg per day. Any thoughts?
I keep my salt intake extremely low. Bacon is about the only food that we buy that has added salt.
We choose bacon purely by sodium level. The one we get has 1/5th the salt of 'regular' bacon.
In Australia they don't add the high levels of sugar and other weirdness that seems to go on in America.
The "Seven Deadly Sins"
Grains (wheat/rice/oats etc) . . . . . Dairy (milk/yogurt/butter/cheese etc) . . . . . Nightshades (peppers/tomato/eggplant etc)
Tubers (potato/arrowroot etc) . . . Modernly palatable (cashews/olives etc) . . . Refined foods (salt/sugars etc )
Legumes (soy/beans/peas etc)
What brands of bacon do you guys buy and how do you choose the best one? I was at the store last night and spent about 20 minutes in fron of the shelve with bacon and I still couldn't figure out what was the difference between the packages. I ended up going with the one from a local farm that didn't have any fancy packaging.
I go with any that are nitrate-free. Bonus points if they're locally raised. I got some uncured, peppered bacon at Wegmans the other week and wow! It was some tasty stuff.
We are the same as Tarlach really, nothing else we buy or eat has added sodium, and the naturally occurring sodium in nuts, meat, and veggies is slim to none. I don't worry about it at all anymore, especially since even on a bacon day I'm nearly always below 1,000mgs of sodium. Plus bacon is delicous
You are what you eat,and what you eat eats too - Michael Pollan
I get my bacon from Trader Joes, which is labeled as uncured and nitrites free. And is also cheap.
Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. -Oscar Wilde

Vehicles with J.D. Power Quality Ratings
The 2016 Versa sedan from Nissan gains a few new features while holding the line on its affordable base price. S trims now have body-colored power mirrors and rear speakers, while the SL gains a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
The 2015 Versa Sedan receives new front and rear fascias, while the interior gets minor design updates. Bluetooth wireless phone connectivity arrives in base models. The Versa Note hatchback adds the SR trim that aims to be sporty via exterior and interior aesthetics.
As the least expensive car in America, Nissan's compact Versa sedan for 2016 might seem a gimmick designed to lure customers to showrooms. But in truth, the base Versa S is pretty nicely equipped with features like air conditioning, a 4-speaker stereo and Bluetooth connectivity. In addition to being inexpensive to own and operate, the Versa sedan offers excellent fuel economy and a truly spacious back seat. Higher-trim versions build off the $12,815 base price, but even fully equipped a Versa barely breaks the $18,000 mark. The Ford Fiesta and Chevy Sonic offer more spirited driving dynamics, while the Kia Rio has a better warranty and a sleeker appearance, but none can come close to the Versa sedan's base price.

The most pregnant I have ever been.
I am now...
I take it they aren't able to get you in today?
what's going on? ???
aw, me too. but i'm not as far as you! my DS was evicted 2 weeks early so i've never actually made it to a due date before. but i'm not feeling anything right now so who knows how long i'll be pregnant!
It's almost over, Sandra! :bighug:
They will likely not get me in today. I'm not sure if they do inductions on weekends. I'll have to ask when I go in for my NST sometime today. She still hasn't called me to come in and do that yet.
I am so exhausted and grumpy. BAH!
I think I would have to call and annoy people at this point. You are such a trooper.

They do in Edmonton You could come for a road trip and then go to Carter's after your little man is born Yes, I am being mean. Sorry.
Oohhh :bigarmhug: BOO for not getting in today! That's just mean! I'm 1 day over due (went 3 with Evan but really only 2 b/c I went in to labor the night of the 2nd and had him the 3rd) and I'm feeling reallllly cranky suddenly.....sigh....maybe it's just mental for me but I'm feeling so much more uncomfortable. I can't imagine how you are feeling!
I totally thought you were going to say " 6 cm dialated" ! What?! They better get you in over the weekend. Call them!
I ordered Chinese for dinner. I am so lazy.
After my Chinese gets here and I enjoy supper, I guess I should call them back and see if I'll even get in for a NST today.
Then I will spend my evening crying. LOL.
haha we're totally doing chinese here too! Yesterday was Thanksgiving and tomorrow we have leftovers at my mom so we thought Chinese was a good break. And we've done NOTHING all day but sit around. I'm hoping a little chinese food might convince him to get out
Try not to be too upset Sandra.....he'll be out soon I hope they induce over the weekend!!
Hang in there! Enjoy another night of not having to get up with a newborn. I hope they get you in tomorrow and not make you wait until Monday. I wonder if any of our sweet potatoes will come in December. Who all is still pregnant? You, Katie, Nancy, Justine? Anyone else?
Just got back from my NST. Baby is happy and thriving. Had some minor contrax on the monitor. Hopefully they turn in to something tonight - may have to DTD or something to get things moving! If I haven't heard from them by 8 am tomorrow, I'm to call them and check on my induction status.
Well I am glad your baby boy is healthy and thriving. Even if it's on the wrong side of the belly I keep hoping every contraction and twinge will turn in to labor! Maybe you'll get things started! The idea of DTD does nothing for me but I've been debating trying it.....but so not in the mood.
Oh believe me, I'm not in the mood either! DH pretty much knows he's being used, but at least he still benefits We DTD last week once, so I know it's still physically possible, no matter how uncomfortable! LOL!

This week in App's Eye View we will begin by entering The Dark Room where some lovely photos of a lively set have been posted. Omar Epps' birthday celebration in the diagnostic room looks like it was squeezed in between takes. Cameras are everywhere and the crew members are milling about. We hope they found time for a proper party later on.
Scroll along and you'll find behind the scenes photos of Chase, Taub and the patient of the week (who is positively glowing as Chase drills into her head). Also pictured are Patrick Price in Cuddy's office (possibly standing in for Hugh Laurie), and Cuddy at her desk, preparing for a scene. We bravely venture outside where the crew have created a rainstorm for a scene with Chase and his new recruit, Kelly. Photos of the motorcycle shop, the patient's home, and the interior and exterior of Cuddy's house are also featured. Sure to be of interest to the more detail oriented is the architectural plan of Cuddy's house offered here.
Then it's on to the Media Room, where we meet a woman who has been part of the show since its inception. Bobbin Bergstrom is a registered nurse who works as the on-set medical and technical advisor. Her job is make the show's medical scenes look as accurate as possible. In a surgery scene, for instance, she will give the actors three or four things to do and orchestrate the background to make it look like everyone knows what they're doing. She takes us step by step through this episode's brain biopsy scene, noting each person's role and her part in helping to make it look right. She also tells about the how the occasional joke is played on the actors to help lighten the long days of filming.
Venture into the Writers Room to find Peter Blake, the writer of "Massage Therapy". He reveals how the idea for the episode came from an article about a schizophrenic woman who had a job as a professor and was heavily medicated in order to cope with her ailment. Unfortunately, the medicine she was on had some horrible side effects. Mr. Blake took her story one step further and wondered what would happen if she hid her schizophrenia from her husband, how her life as she knew it would end if he found out. This was the basis for the episode.
Mr. Blake also discusses Dr. Kelly Benedict, the new character introduced this week. Kelly joins the team when Cuddy demands House hire a female doctor to replace 13. It doesn't work out, Mr. Blake tells us, since Kelly isn't suited for the team and also because of what's going on with Chase. Chase has the choice whether to keep Kelly or not and, in the end does the wrong thing (for selfish reasons) and lets her go.
This season, Mr. Blake tells us, House finally has a chance to be happy and find contentment in his relationship with Cuddy. But there are obstacles; he still has some strange habits from years of living alone and the story of the masseuse/hooker comes out of that. His relationship with Cuddy's daughter, Rachel, is also touched upon. He is not fond of the child, something he admits to Wilson early on in the episode, but realizes he can't be with Cuddy and not try to form some kind of bond with Rachel, as well.
The writers have chosen four Houseisms from the episode as their 'picks'. Our favorite is "Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a straight male hooker?"
Finally, the Music Room provides us with an iTunes link to this episode's song: "Ride Free" by Jonny Kaplan and the Lazy Stars.
App's Eye View will be back next week for a look at the "Unplanned Parenthood" episode.
