In praise of California

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

In November, 1988, the electorate in California approved Proposition 103 to prevent the massive increases in premiums that were affecting all consumers looking for insurance. It is estimated that up to 2006, Californian drivers alone saved $62 billion on their auto insurance rates. Then the Consumer Watchdog combined with other socially active groups to force the insurance companies to abandon the practice of basing rates on the zip code and not your record as a driver. Now comes Assembly Bill 2800 which emerged from the Senate Appropriations Committee in August 2008. This is being treated as a slightly more controversial measure. As a compromise, the Insurance Commissioner suggests that drivers could allow the insurers to make regular checks on the odometer rather than allowing electronic collection and transmission of data. If the electronic version of the plan does go ahead, it will allow companies to identify consistently low-risk drivers from the time of day they use the roads, the speed at which they drive and the distance they travel. Such drivers will receive the maximum discounts available. This proposed device will reward the genuine drivers and charge a fair premium to the others. It will also help to save the planet because drivers who maintain a lower average speed use less gas and so produce less emissions. For once, the auto insurance industry would be helping to fight global warming which is very public-spirited it.

Free Slots: The Basics

Monday, January 19th, 2009

Free slots are one of the most popular online casino games because they are very easy to play. First thing you have to do is place your bet, which usually ranges from one to five coins. Different slot machines have different coin values, ranging from 5 cents to 5 dollars. There are also special slots for high rollers with much larger coin values. OK, so you’ve placed your bet. The next thing you should do is simply click the spin button and see what combination is displayed in the payline. Your win depends on the combination and is different from one slot machine to another. All free slots have individual pay tables, where all the winning combinations are outlined. One of the most popular types of free slots games are progressive slot machines. These machines are linked into a network that has a common jackpot, which is affected by all the players in the network. Simply put, it’s a multiplayer version of ordinary slot machines. And many find it much more exciting to play progressive slots, because the jackpot is usually much higher if compared to straight slots.

Even at rest, muscles burn energy

Life is so unfair. If only we could do whatever we wanted without any penalty! Sadly, I can’t hit people just because they annoy me and I can’t get all the things I want without paying for them. And then there’s my weight. It’s so unfair I can’t lose weight just by thinking it would be good to be slim again. Why must we always pay for what we want or do? Well, OK, life is unfair. You can’t spend money on eating lots of fatty food and avoid putting on extra pounds. It’s like playing a game. If you hit a ball with a tennis racquet or a baseball bat, it flies away from you. The best way to eat fewer calories is to eat smaller portions of healthier food. To speed up the process, you can use acomplia. Research has consistently shown that people using this drug in combination with a better diet lose up to 10% of their body weight. This produces a “double whammy” effect. First off, even though your body weight may not change immediately, replacing pounds of fat with lean muscle is good for you by improving blood circulation. Secondly, the more muscle you carry, the more energy your body burns at rest. Your metabolic rate automatically increases when introduce exercise into your overall regime to lose weight. So how much exercise are we talking about? Giving up about half-an-hour, three days a week will be sufficient to raise your metabolic rate so long as you keep it up. But just one or two weeks is not enough. It must be a regular commitment for months. Making friends and working out with them will keep you going longer. Then it’s just down to you to keep eating smaller portions of healthier food and, if you want the fastest result, using acomplia as well.

Is honesty the best policy?

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

qWhen life is going along well, there are rarely temptations. You have everything under control and there’s no need to cut corners. But as the household budget comes under pressure, you have to keep the cost of essentials like auto insurance under control. No-one wants to risk driving out on the public roads without insurance. Cars are essential to most households. You don’t want to be put in the situation of having to choose between food and insuring the car. Yet, if you have picked up a traffic ticket, there’s a temptation not to pass the news on to your insurer. You’re almost certain the result will be a premium increase, particularly if it was a moving offense - insurers tend to think people who drive too fast or without paying proper attention to the rules of the road are more likely to get into accidents. So what are the issues? Most auto insurance companies treat the ticket as “important” for between three and five years, and raise your premium. The amount of the increase will depend on the offense. A speeding ticket where you were only a few miles per hour over the limit will not have a big effect. But if you were driving under the influence of drink or drugs, the effect will be significant. For starters, in many states, you will be caught up in the SR-22 scene. This is a certificate issued by your insurance company to your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles. It certifies that, even though you are a “problem driver”, you’re carrying the minimum liability covered required by your state. Except that many insurers are unhappy if you have a drink driving or DUI conviction and either refuse cover or charge a deterrent premium. That means getting the SR-22 can be expensive. So you’re tempted to keep quiet and hope your insurer will not notice the ticket(s). That keeps the premiums affordable. But, as and when the company finds out, your auto insurance policy will be cancelled. Your failure to disclose facts that were material to assessing the risks and setting the premiums can, if deliberate, be treated as fraud and you could find yourself the subject of prosecution or civil suit. Worse, no other insurance company will then insure you. It’s not that honesty is the best policy. It’s the only way you can get and keep a policy in place.
