His request for a Daiquiri made with half the sugar and double the booze created an unbalanced drink: one that bartenders couldn’t help but right through the eventual addition of maraschino liqueur and grapefruit juice. To reinstate some of Hemingway’s influence, this recipe uses key lime juice and goes for a whir in the blender as the earliest Daiquiris were served over crushed ice.

Request Significant Health Insurance Rate Increases
Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart Vows Vigorous Review(DOVER, DE) Commissioner Karen Weldin Stewart announced last week that she has received rate request filings from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware and Aetna, Inc. for individual and small group plans to be offered on Delaware’s Health Insurance Marketplace in 2016. Highmark is asking for a 25.4% increase in the individual market, while Aetna requests a 16% increase. In the small group market, Highmark seeks a 12.7% increase, while Aetna asks for a 6.1% decrease.“Large rate increase requests like these are occurring in several states across the country and I know they will cause a hardship for many Delawareans,” said Stewart. “The increases are substantial and I’m going to do my best to reduce them. I am instructing my actuaries to examine vigorously Highmark’s and Aetna’s supporting data for the requests.” Commissioner Stewart also announced that the Insurance Department will conduct public information sessions in June to receive comment on the proposed rate increases. The sessions will take place at the following locations in the three counties:
Mon., June 15 1pm Del Tech Owens Campus, GeorgetownMon., June 15 6pm Insurance Department, 841 Silver Lake Blvd., Dover
Tues., June 16 6pm Carvel State Office Building, 820 N. French St. WilmingtonRepresentatives from Highmark and Aetna will be present at each session. Consumers and interested parties may also submit written comments to the

A wife and husband say they both got a hole-in-one in consecutive shots at the same hole.Tony and Janet Blundy told the Lansing State Journal that their aces came while golfing recently at a course in Grand Ledge. The couple says Tony hit a hole-in-one first at the 16th hole, and Janet then equaled his feat.The newspaper says two golfers who didn't know the Blundys verified the back-to-back holes-in-one.According to contest prize insurer National Hole-in-One Association, the odds of two amateur golfers in a foursome getting an ace on the same hole in the same round are 26 million-to-1.
