Overview of the problem

Perhaps you've seen this mistake: "Walking down the street, the saunterer lost a wheel." This sentence connotes that the saunterer is walking down the street, which would be a very interesting sight, indeed. The job is that the silent topic of the introductory phrase makes not fit the grammatical topic of the chief sentence, the stroller. The author cognizes what he/she means, but the reader may be confused. (Isn't grammar fun?). Editing this sentence will assist the reader understand what you are trying to say, which is the intent of editing.

The job in this sample sentence is rather easy to descry and easy to edit. Sample alterations include:

"[Mary] was pushing the saunterer down the street when it lost a wheel."

"The saunterer lost a wheel when [Mary] was walking down the street."

"The saunterer lost a wheel when being pushed down the street."

"The saunterer lost a wheel." (This presumes that the author have already established that Virgin Virgin Virgin Mary was pushing it down the street. On 2nd thought, why would Virgin Mary be pushing a saunterer in a street and not on the sidewalk? This looks a descry unsafe to us.)

Sample problem

This type of mistake can be difficult to spot and edit, but doing so cut downs possible readers' confusion and do your sentences more than direct, more cohesive, and, ultimately, stronger. See this sentence:

Mary spoke about nil but her childhood experiences for more than than an hour, but when finally winding down, British Shilling realized that he was bored to tears.

The silent topic of finally winding down is Mary, but this sentence neckties it to Bob, the grammatical topic of the independent clause that follows. These are not aligned properly and give the reader an wrong interpretation. In this case, revising isn't too hard.

The solution

We have got two chief schemes for redaction this type of grammar error:

1) Break the sentence and attach the phrase to the right subject. ("...for more than than an hr before winding down. British Shilling finally realized that he...")

2) Modify the introductory phrase so that the silent topic mentions to the grammatical topic of the sentence. ("...and seeing that she was finally winding down, British Shilling realized...")

In a nutshell, what you are doing is making certain that the verbs of the sentences suit their grammatical topics and that phrases introducing clauses mention to the topics of those clauses. When you are writing your ain sentences, see how your verbs and topics are aligned.

One last sample

By the way, the most humorous mistake of this type that we have got seen is (paraphrased): "Swimming happily along the shore, the cadaver floated by his head." We go forth it up to you to find why this is so amusing to us.

Hero's Journey, Monomyth (188 stages)- Screenwriting Tools, Writing for Profit

2007-06-20T05:12:00.001-07:00

FORWARD

The 188 stage Hero's Journey (Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. In fact, ALL of the hundreds of Hollywood movies we have deconstructed (see URL below) are based on this 188+ stage template.

Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.

[The terminology is most often metaphoric and applies to all successful stories and screenplays, from The Godfather (1972) to Brokeback Mountain (2006) to Annie Hall (1977) to Lord of the Rings (2003) to Drugstore Cowboy (1989) to Thelma and Louise (1991) to Apocaplyse Now (1979)].

THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY

THE 188 STAGE HERO'S JOURNEY:

a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.

c) Gives you a tangible process for building and releasing dissonance (establishing and achieving catharses, of which there are usually four).

d) Tells you what to write. For example, at a certain stage of the story, the focus should be on the Call to Adventure and the micro elements within.

ABRIDGED TIPS, EXCERPTS AND EXAMPLES:

(simply go to http://www.heros-journey.info/ for full details)

*****Mentor's Backstory*****

The Mentor's Backstory is often made explicit. In Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Clyde tells Bonnie he cut part of his foot off.

*****Shape Shifter Revealed and The Red Herring*****

The shape shifter's true nature becomes apparent [post the Rebirth through Death]. In The Incredibles (2004), Bomb Voyage assists the Incredibles to escape.

Red Herrings and misdirections are toyed with and implemented. In Star Wars (1977), Han considers "leaving this party." In Syriana (2005), we are led to believe that it is Whiting who will be sacrificed. In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005), we are led to believe that Severus Snape is a threat.

I Won!

2007-05-20T11:46:00.001-07:00

I won a Mother's Day writing contest on thebabyboomerdiva.com. No not 1st place, I received 4th. The winning is special, but not as special as the judges reading my words and liking the way I put them together. It makes me feel good. No, I take that back-I feel great.

The prize doesn't matter (okay it does). What does is being told that what you do and how you do it touches someone else in such a way that they want to recognize you for it. Especially when they are NOT related to you in anyway!

My mom and dad get teary-eyed and give me a hug. My significant other (you've heard of him, my own personal knight in shining armor) can say "wow". The children I gave birth too can say something akin to "I didn't know you could write like this" and mean it in a sincerely complimentary way.

But when wonderful people, such as those of you who are reading this column now, take the time to let me know that this is a job well done-Well! That's when my heart and hear just soar!

When someone ask-so what did you win? I honestly have to go back to the website and re-read my prize! I just become so overwhelmed by the recognition I forget that there's actual "loot" involved. This time the essay and maybe a picture will be included in Bev Mahone's next ebook! What could possibly be more exciting, except someone offering to publish a real book of my own?????

My son-the handsome, tattooed, soon to be a UCI graduate was more practical, he wanted to use my talents to edit what is to be his last undergraduate term paper. My pleasure, I also happen to be terrific with a red marker.

My co-workers think I'm hilarious. "Carine-you get 4th place out of about 170 entrants and you don't care beyond that? Why not?"

I suppose it's a legitimate query. My daughter just shook her head-"Mom, you're so good at writing-quit the day job and go for it" Obviously she is my adventurous one.

The answer to the above: When I write, I put my all into the words and they are what matter. Whether it's an article about "The Importance of Early Intervention in Rheumatoid Arthritis", a restaurant review, an article on baking or a column here on "What's Cooking"-it's part of who I am.

To be recognized for the worth of your passion is the prize, the rest is some mighty nice extras.

Tips That Will Help You Have The Best Resume

2007-05-16T15:18:00.001-07:00

A resume is something that advertises you in front of your future boss; think it as a tool that will enhance your qualities and professional appearance. It is very important to know how to create and use that good tool, what mistakes to avoid when creating one and how to make a good impression.

Think about it as a business card, if it's nice and catchy it will attract the client but if it's not the client will throw it away; the same thing goes with your resume. You need to add some originality if you want to get noticed.

Here are a few tips that will help you have a clean and easy to read resume.
When writing about your work experience don't bore the people who will read the resume with a lot of work history; try to insert only the important jobs if they are a lot and limit yourself to a maximum of 15 years work history.

Try to be organized when you are writing your technical knowledge and qualifications; if you write them in an organized way, they will be easy to read and people will spend more time understanding what they mean than figuring out where the sentence ends. You must have noticed that you usually find a text with no paragraphs very hard to read and you even skip on reading it. Think what would happen if people would skip reading your technical knowledge. Also, place it at the beginning of the resume because people get bored easily and when they reach the end their attention is not very high.

Another important thing, probably the most important is proofreading. Never give a resume which has grammar and spelling errors; that resume will not be taken into account.

Don't bother using colored paper or colored writing; one of the reasons is because it looks pretty bad if you want to have a serious resume and another reason is the fact that it will probably be scanned and the pretty resume will never end on the right desk. Use white paper, black writing and keep it as simple as you can; it will be easy to read and will not end up in the garbage.

Try to be short and don't write the story of your life in there; make sure the important professional facts are present and eliminate all the irrelevant words because they will bore the reader. Keep the resume short at most 3 pages for a person who has 20 years of experience and don't try to make a big resume if you only worked for 2 years because people are not stupid, they will probably notice that you tried to fill a lot of space with nonsense.

When creating your resume try to make it as professional as you can, you will look serious and ambitious. Spend a lot of time to proofread it and make sure you checked all the details, including the way it looks. If it's a clean, professional and simple resume it will tell a lot about you and how organized you are.

*****New Self*****

Every Hero transforms from an Ordinary Self to a New Self. It is the New Self that has the capacity to conquer challenges that the Old Self could not. Progression of the New Self is demonstrated at the stage of the Seizing of the Sword. In Straw Dogs (1971), David walks home and decides to fire the boys. Also, Amy is smoking now.

*****Rescue from Without*****

The Rescue from Without is a stage of the journey where "the world comes calling," that is, the hero is in retreat and needs to be pulled back [by the world]. However, as the Hero is ultimately battling his own demons (using a Freudian analysis, all stories can be reduced to a battle between the id and superego), it is not unusual for the hero to trigger the pull back himself. In Straw Dogs (1971), David calls the pub where Tom et al wait.

*****Freedom to Live*****

Part of the Freedom to Live is the Hero's New Behaviour. In Brokeback Mountain (2005), junior is getting married and Ennis will go to the wedding.

Creating a Believable Telepathic Scenario for a Science-Fiction Novel

2007-05-06T17:42:00.001-07:00

Authors of science fiction novels often dream up some extremely interesting scenarios and yet in doing this they must be bathed in some type of scientific theory in order to be believable to the reader. In fact many readers reading science fiction do so as a way to learn various way out theories that normal scientific communities cannot discuss.

In fact many science-fiction novelist are drawn toward science-fiction in order to put forth ideas and concepts or theories that they have that are outside the row of acceptable scientific discussion. Not long ago a couple of gentlemen were talking about science-fiction and telepathy. One of them said to the other;

"Here is how I perceive it could work in a Sci Fi novel."

You think about someone you have met, but only someone who you have looked into their eyes and made a light connection with in the past. You have traded light instructions and now share photon information. But it may not be possible to share thoughts with any individual mind you have not made a connection with or your genetic displacement is too far distant.

Indeed this could be possible and even if it is not possible now science could figure out a way to make that possible in the future. And perhaps this might be the easiest way to cell phone your friends and family without use of electronic device sometime in the far-off future. Wouldn't that be spectacular and maybe that's why scientific novelists love to probe into the unknown and come up with way out theories for their storylines.

MS Word 2003 - How to Create and Use a Customized Dictionary?

2007-04-28T13:44:00.001-07:00

Microsoft Word comes with a powerful dictionary and spell checker. It is very easy to add new words to MS's default customary dictionary (file name: CUSTOM.DIC) as well.

When MS comes across a word that is not in this default dictionary, the right-click pop-up menu asks whether you'd like to "Add to Dictionary". Click that option and you are done. The new word is added to CUSTOM.DIC. Next time, MS will know how to correct the misspelling of that particular word.

But sometimes, when you are writing about a very esoteric subject, or perhaps when you are using many foreign words or jargon, or working on a temporary project, you may want to keep the default custom dictionary as is and create your own project-specific customized dictionary. When the project is done, you may want to remove it from your computer altogether.

***** How to create your own customized dictionary?

1. Launch your Note pad, or non-MS Word writing program. (MS Word unfortunately inserts a lot of invisible code to the text which might affect your dictionary list in unpredictable ways.)

2. Enter all your special words, one word per line. Make sure to enter multi-word phrases one word per line. After you type in each word, press Enter and go to the next line.

3. Give your special dictionary a name that ends with ".dic" (For example, "SoccerDictionary.dic") and save it to C:Documents and SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftProof

***** How to launch and use your customized dictionary?

1. Open the text that you would like to spell check by using your customized dictionary.

2. Select Tools > Options.

3. Select the Spelling & Grammar tab.

4. Click Custom Dictionaries button to display the Custom Dictionaries dialog box. You will see your newly created dictionary is listed in there, right next to the CUSTOM.DIC.

5. Check the check-box of your customized dictionary (if you like, IN ADDITION to the CUSTOM.DIC. It would not hurt.) Do NOT remove "CUSTOM.DIC" since that would impact all the other MS documents that have already used it.

6. While you are here, you can also modify the content of any listed dictionary by selecting it and clicking the Modify button. You can easily add new words in this fashion.

7. Click OK and return to your main document.

Now when you do a spell check (F7), Word will suggest alternatives not only from its default dictionary but from the custom dictionary that you have created as well.

Alternatively, when you right click your mouse over a word that has a red underline, Word will suggest alternatives not only from its default dictionary but from your customized dictionary as well.

You can create and use as many similar customized dictionaries as you like. And when you are done with that special project, you can just simply turn them off at Tools > Options > Spelling & Grammar > Custom Dictionaries.

If you think you'll never again use that special set of terminology, you can also delete a customized dictionary altogether from the C:Documents and SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftProof folder.

Press Releases - Your Headline Has To Be Great!

2007-04-26T12:17:00.001-07:00

Start your press release with a great headline that will convince the media to read further. "The headline of a press release has one job and one job only," according to press release guru Paul Hartunian. "The only job of a press release headline is to force the reporter to keep reading. The headline has no other job. Don't force your press release headline to do anything more than force the reporter to keep reading. That's a big enough job!"

In press releases, headlines are critical. They're the first, and often the only, thing the media reads. If your headline doesn't immediately grab the reader's attention, your release usually won't be read.

To seize the media's attention, link your headlines to:

1) Money,

2) Sex,

3) Health,

4) Controversy.

Remember to grab the media by looking at and reacting to what is in the news! The media does not care about you or your book.They care about how good an interview you are, how you react to something that is going on now- and they want you to help their audience and or readers-

Do your homework! Read magazines, newspapers every day- and watch several TV shows every day- including Today, GMA and CBS Early Show. Couldn't hurt to watch Oprah too!

Make sure that you know everything you can about the reporter before you speak to him or her. Read all that they have written- do a google search- know where there went to school...
Be prepared!

5 Ways To Be More Efficient in 3d Studio Max

2007-04-24T11:45:00.001-07:00

If you have ever used 3d Studio Max you know that using the software can be challenging. Many problems can arise that interfere with efficiently using the software. Getting used to the graphical user interface, lighting, texturing and rendering all pose their challenges. Even the experienced users can find themselves stuck trying to remember 3d Studio Max's comprehensive interface or waiting hours for a render. Because of these problems, efficiency can suffer and many users can find themselves taking three or four more steps than needed. Luckily there are ways to become more efficient using 3d Studio Max.

1. Learn hotkeys
This may seem like an obvious one, but using hotkeys are the quickest way to efficiency in 3ds Max. You should learn the hotkeys for anything you consistently do in 3ds Max. The best way to learn a hotkey is to literally stop what you are doing, and actually learn the hotkey. Write it down and keep a cheat sheet near your workstation. Eventually using hotkeys will become second nature to you. For example of the top of my head I know that ALT W will maximize your view port, T, L, F, and P will toggle to top, left, front and perspective view, M will bring up the material browser, and F10 brings up the render scene dialogue box. If you only learn 2 hotkeys though, learn CTRL Z (undo) and CTRL S (save), not only is this good habit, but doing this will immediately save you a lot of time.

2. Save often.
Again, I am stating the obvious but computers crash a lot. Get used to saving often, every 5 minutes. One of the biggest mistakes made is not saving work. Imagine working hours on a model and then suddenly having 3ds Max crash. Now imagine that you never saved your work. You either have to start all over or rely on 3d Studio Max's autoback feature. Being the good 3d Artists that you are though, you saved your project every 5 minutes. Now you aren't at the mercy of 3d Studio Max's autobacking feature and you can continue working on your model.

3. Save Multiple Versions
There are several reasons to save multiple versions of your work. One reason is that 3ds Max files can sometimes get corrupted in the process of saving work. Once this happens, it is impossible to ever open that file again. Another reason is that it is a good way to keep phases of your work. Anytime I am doing a detailed project, I usually have 11 versions of the same project. This is useful if you have messed up and you are too far to go back using undo. You can just simply go back to a former version. If 11 versions seems a bit much for you, can also save 3 different versions and alternate overwriting each version every time you save. Doing this can save yourself a lot of heartache and tears.

4. Make good use of your computers memory
3d Studio max is definitely a powerful program that can handle tons of complex mathematical equations. Learn what you computer can handle. If you have a supercomputer that can handle tons of raytracing and advanced lighting then use it. If you know your computer will crash with too much advanced effects, then try to avoid using those. Not only learn the limitations of your computer but learn to compromise when render time is taking too long. If you can barely tell the difference between a 30 second render and a 3 minute render, then you should probably go with the 30 second render.

5. Practice, Practice, Practice
The best way to become more efficient in 3d studio max is to just simply practice. The more you get involved in the program, the more you will learn. For example, the first time you model a human face it may take you 3 weeks. By the fifth time you might be able to do it in 2 hours, because you already know where you are going, 5 steps ahead. Write down anything that might help you in the future. Eventually you will have a lot of information committed to memory through repetition and you will be extremely efficient.

These are just a few of many tips to help increase efficiency in 3ds max. Remember the more you can do to eliminate unnecessary steps, the easy your life will become.

Love Poems -- 5 of the Best

2007-04-19T08:34:00.001-07:00

Love poems, an emotional phrase that gives all of us some deep thoughts, weather you like lyrics or not. As you are reading this I assume that you like poetry. Do you read or listen? I like to do both. Beautiful written texts are always remarkable reading. On the other hand...listening to a verse by a master narrator is also delightful. This article is about poems on audio books. You will also find some quotes from the authors.

The Sonnets by William Shakespeare

There is no grading in this listing but I felt I had to start with Shakespeare's The Sonnets. They serve as one of the most beautiful romantic love poems ever written and also give us an idea of the mind of the genius behind these captivating words.

William Shakespeare quote:

"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date."

If Thou Must Love Me

This is Elizabeth Barrett Browning's appeal to her lover to adore her only for herself, and not for any qualities that may fade away.

Quote by Elizabeth Barrett Browning:

"Who so loves believes the impossible."

My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose

Robert Burns's well-known ode blessing the eternal power of true romance.

Quote by Robert Burns:

"O, my luve's like a red red rose That's newly sprung in June: O my luve's like the melodie That's sweetly played in tune."

The Passionate Shepherd to His Love
Christopher Marlowe's emotional appeal to his truelove to escape with him and live a romantic country-life with him.

Quote by Christopher Marlowe:

"Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?"

12 Valentines Poems

12 Valentines Poems is actually a small collection of romantic poesy as it's best.
There are twelve specially selected favorite's. To mention some of them; Edward Fitzgerald's meditations from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, Edward Lear's comic verse The Owl and The Pussycat, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, John Donne's The Sunne Rising and lines from John Milton's Paradise Lost, Robert Herrick's Delight in Disorder and Shakespeare's Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day.

Listening and reading love poems can be a great source of joy. However, there is actually one better way to use these words by masters: Read the poem to your dear one yourself. Get inspired and surprise your love with a passionate sonnet by Shakespeare this evening.

Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters. This is the template you must master if you are to succeed in the craft.

THERE IS ONLY ONE STORY

THE 188 STAGE HERO'S JOURNEY:

a) Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

b) Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.

c) Gives you a tangible process for building and releasing dissonance (establishing and achieving catharses, of which there are usually four).

d) Tells you what to write. For example, at a certain stage of the story, the focus should be on the Call to Adventure and the micro elements within.

ABRIDGED TIPS, EXCERPTS AND EXAMPLES:

(simply go to http://www.screenplay-structure.com/ or http://www.story-structure.org/ for full details)

*****Elixir*****

The Elixir is now developed or further made explicit (post Trial 3 and the conquest of the Outer Challenge). The Hero (as well as the audience) are reminded of the rewards of completing the Journey: In Transamerica (2005), Bree and Toby arrive at the Gender Pride party in Dallas.

Threshold Guardian. As normal, the Threshold Guardian must be passed. In Transamerica (2005), Marianne welcomes them to the Gender Pride party.

World of Elixir. In Transamerica (2005), we meet the characters at the Gender Pride party. In Matrix (1999), we meet the other gifted children.

*****Antiheroes and Romantic Challenges*****

Where the Hero evolves, the Antihero devolves. So it is not unusual to find that the Antihero starts off with a close personal relationship that devolves (whereas the Hero most often starts off with a polarized Romantic Challenge that gradually evolves). In The Godfather (1972), Michael and Kay are initially close but their relationship devolves toward the end. In Scarface (1983) Tony and Elvira ultimately separate.

*****Mirror*****

Symbolism is an underrated aspect of storytelling. A mirror is an often used symbol, that demonstrates the Hero's self analysis at the stage of the Ordinary World. In Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Bonnie look at herself in the mirror. In An Officer and a Gentleman (1983), Zach looks at himself in the mirror.

*****Demonstrating the Magical Gift*****

It is not unusual for the Mentor or Hero to have to demonstrate the Magical Gift. In Brokeback Mountain (2005), Jack uses the gun to shoot the wolf. This often also substitutes as a foreshadow of the coming real use of the Magical Weapon, which is where some obstacle is overcome.

*****Lack of Commitment*****

The Hero, even though he (or she) may be willing, does not often commit to the Journey easily. In Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Bonnie wants to know what armed robbery is like.

*****Conscious Decision*****

The Conscious Decision is a staple of the Hero's Journey and Transformation. The Hero explicitly states that he (or she) will embark on the Journey and Transformation. This is expressed in a number of ways. In Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Clyde asks Bonnie whether she wants to stay in West Dallas, carry on waitressing and dating truck drivers or go with her.

*****Hero's Backstory*****

The Mentor or Supernatural Aid often knows a lot about the Hero. In Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Clyde knows all about Bonnie - the guys, the café, wondering how she is going to get away from it.

*****The Changing*****

Progression through the Cave of the First Threshold is demonstrated. In Brokeback Mountain (2005), "...that's more than I spoke in a year...."

*****Guardians of the Sword*****

The Sword is not easily Seizable. In Brokeback Mountain (2005), Ennis waits by the window and Jack arrives late.

*****Inner Caves*****

Whether in the Inner Cave of the First Threshold or the Trials or beyond, it is a place where Inner Challenges reveal themselves. In Straw Dogs (1971), Amy flirts with the boys outside. And David remarks, "....you act like you're fourteen....."

*****Push to the Inner Cave*****

Pushes and Pulls are underestimated, even symbolically. In Brokeback Mountain (2005), Jack doesn't mind switching, "...We both ought to be in this camp...."

*****Inner Resolve*****

With the coming of the Inner Resolve, the Hero says goodbye to his Old Self and the Old World. In Brokeback Mountain (2005), Ennis drives away and this will be the last time they see each other.

Michael Pollan and The Idea of Garden

2007-04-12T04:26:00.001-07:00

Michael Pollan is a prolific writer. He is living at an old farm in Cornwall Bridge, Connecticut. Michael Pollan is the author of many interesting and brilliant books, such as 'Second Nature: A Gardener's Education', 'A Place of My Own: The Education of an Amateur Builder', 'The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World' and 'The Idea of a Garden'.

The book consists of stories where people retell what they have heard. Including historical and current issues and giving several genres, 'The Idea of a Garden' challenges people to investigate more attentively the variety of environments that we are surrounded by, the complication features of those environments, and our attitude to them.

In his book Michael Pollan proposes a metaphor that is appropriate to the environment issues – a nature as a garden. For Pollan gardening is not only the very act of this action but it is also the interaction with the nature and its sources. This kind of a metaphor gives local answers according to local conditions. This notion assumes anthropocentrism as inevitable process, while accepting people's interdependence with life, health and survival. Moreover, it values other life forms' wildness, for example, the wildness of water, air and soil. People interact with the nature and have 'misunderstandings' with it. In other words, this battle could be won or could be lost. Everything depends on the humanity – on the moderate usage of land resources, on the attentive approach to environmental issues and timely solutions.

The garden metaphor makes the demarcation between the intervention of humanity and the nature intervention giving examples of the second one for creating the balance in nature. However, Michael Pollan points out the significance of culture as a phenomenon and as a part of the garden preservation. This is the culture, which is used for teaching people how to live in harmony with nature, how to share the experience of past generations. It has its history in which there are numbers of mistakes that we should remember and avoid for making this world a garden of nature.

Summarizing, our land is a garden, which must be protected. This underlines the necessity for conservationists to be more serious in the issues of protecting wildlife and natural habitat and to present their ideas to a wide audience.

The Italian Letter, Bush & Cheney at War

2007-04-05T12:55:00.000-07:00

The Italian letter

With love from Italy

To Mr. VP Cheney

Dear Dick, hear ye

The intelligence

You've been hunting

Ferociously for at CIA

Your frequent visits

Have been noticed

Your deep yearnings

Haven't been dismissed

We've got some docs

You cannot resist.

Let me tell you how

They shall be passed

Let the British gov't

Be the scapegoat

The proverbial ass

Point to their intel

Expert discoveries

About Saddam Hussein

Buying quantities

Or attempts thereof

To secure uranium

The claim is a hoax

But by it we'll coax

The American people

To fear the most

Sensational ghost

Shock with scenarios

Possible probabilities

Forged debaucheries

Countless inaccuracies

Names and dates

Spelled incorrectly

Concoct it meticulously

Declare it nationally

Across every home TV

Before all of Congress

Shock, awe, and amaze

Leave them in a daze

Fearing for their lives

Imagining the inevitable

Though it will not be real

It will serve your purpose

Provide and position you

To move steadily on course

Enabling a huge war in Iraq

Years to procure oil and attack

Massive Halliburton contracts

A 300% increase in their stock

In Baghdad our troops will dock

First, just sell war aggressively

To Congress in Washington DC

Than bring the American people

To generously finance the story

Media conglomerates and papers

Mags, journals, profs, and authors

Before long, by reason of repetition

Everyone will swallow and believe

The lie will load you heavily for bear

The claim shall convincingly achieve

All you need to rally and cheer lead

Gather the troops and send forth

To battle the butcher of Baghdad

Take over where we left off with dad

Beware you Iraqis! Bush II is bad.

His assertions aren't nearly ironclad

But who needs truth when illusion

Works wonderfully with possibility

The faintest likelihood works good

Stirs sitting Congressmen to fight

The corrupt and obstruct administration

Will cook up tasty intel and do it right

Our cherry picking is Saddam's plight

Soon we'll be bombing deep into night

Uranium, uranus, your dirty little anus

Once we're secure in the theatre of war

With such minute details we'll not bore

Nor belabor ourselves with this anymore.

By then it is all about finding those WMD

Liberating the people of Iraq skillfully

Now slow down boys! Not too quickly.

Meanwhile the American people weary

Tired of war, watch Paris and Britney.

As they do Bush Co prepares to get paid

Get settled and cozy in Iraq for a decade

You know, help the Iraqis with food aid

Suck up and tap into their vast oil supply

Surely by now you know the reason why

Elisabetta Burba of Rome now does cry

Sit around kicking herself wondering why

She didn't reexamine the vile document

That was grossly manipulated to vent

Cheney & Bush's mandate for more

More war, oil, and arms contracts

Even Rove wanted Cheney hacked

Removed from the ticket in 2004

Realizing he is a warmonger whore

Ready to sell out for personal gain

Taking Saudis Thanksgiving leftovers

Assuring him more bloody oil dollars

After he leaves the White House

His maneuvering and profiteering

We the people are no longer feeling

"The British government has learned

That Saddam Hussein recently sought

Significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

Those 16 fatal words in President Bush's 2003

State of the Union address meant to frighten

Not enlighten, though our stomachs did tighten

To the smoking gun and mushroom cloud

Bush talking about terrorists bold and loud

Ambassador Joseph Wilson said that Niger

Had nothing of the sort for us to purport

Yet global intel rogues Bush did court

For bogus evidence on yellow cake, U3O8

The road to war a predetermined fate

Not by God, but by Cheney and Bush

False intel scandalous and amateurish.

Money First, Not

2007-04-03T08:01:00.000-07:00

As a writer, you should not let money stall your progress, growth and development. I am speaking on this subject from personal experience. If one is not careful, their gifts and talents as a writer will be stalled while trying to reach for the golden carrot of money. Money can be a deception to development because one loses sight of the heart and purpose of putting you words on paper. I believe money will stall the best writer and the novice, if they are not careful. For a writer to grow and develop, they must put money in its place so that they can move forward and enjoy the love of the craft.

Money is the grand illusion too many writers. It causes some to seek the life of a dreamer who will not work at their craft. I am still angered when I think about the time I have waste looking for the silver dollar of the writing illusion. If the truth be told and research done you will find that only a few writers cash in big. Now that you have a better understanding of the matter, in my opinion, you should write for you own satisfaction. I am saying what many other writers have said; in short, do not quit your day job.

It is a tremendous waste of time to be preoccupied with thoughts grandeur, instead of writing. We all have just a certain number of days to live and than our natural body dies. The reality is that your time is more important than money. We should value our time to write as a precious gift from Yahweh which we must use to the fullest. Do not let your mind waste its time on things that are sometimes out of your control. Your justification must come from inside; this will give you the motivation to not waste time.

There is sometimes a state of depression that can happen to us as writers if we are constantly thinking about money. It is the money thoughts that can set you up for the downward thoughts of depression. To value your ability as a writer in terms of money, is to quickly head done the road to depression and deception. Never see yourself in terms of a money value. Depression happens when we do not have a true picture of reality. Realize, in life, some things happen by chance.

We must realize how priceless time is to our development, happiness and inner fulfillment as a writer. Money, in my opinion, is always secondary to several more essentials traits in the life of a writer. Money is not first thing for the genuine writer. Handle anyone who tells you money first, at arms length; they probably want to deceive you or exploit you. Always be a writer first and fore most.

Hero's Journey (Monomyth)- All Stories And Quests And The Process Of The Quest Is The Hero's Journey

2007-03-30T10:59:00.000-07:00

The Hero's Journey (also known as the Monomyth) is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. It is upon this structure that situations are superimposed. This is why stories such as Alien (1979), Gladiator (2000), Godfather (1972), American Beauty (1999), Annie Hall (1977) and many others (all deconstructed at www.clickok.co.uk/index4.html) appear to be different but are all constructed, almost sequence by sequence, in the same way.

The following blockbusters have all been structured around the Hero's Journey template: Titanic, 1997 - grossed over $600,000,000; Star Wars, 1977 - grossed over $460,000,000; Shrek 2, 2004 - grossed over $436,000,000; ET, 1982 - grossed over $434,000,000; Spiderman, 2002 - grossed over $432,000,000. So how come you don't know it inside out?

For a number of very valid reasons, if you want to write (and sell) successful stories, whether they're Hollywood blockbusters, Indie successes, novels or other story forms, you need to master the Hero's Journey in a very detailed way...

ALL STORIES ARE QUESTS AND THE PROCESS OF THE QUEST IS THE HERO'S JOURNEY

All stories are Quests and the process of embarking upon and completing the Quest is the Hero's Journey. This is an incredibly useful fact, as it implies effective story structure - it directs your Hero towards the tangible (Sword), which is a metaphor for the intangible (Expansion of Consciousness, New Capacities).

The term "Quest" misleadingly implies a certain type of story (Arthurian legend, Dragon's Lair, Damsel in Distress, Treasure Hunt) etc.

Replace the treasure in the dragon's lair or the damsel in the tower with that which your Hero requires and you will see that all stories are actually Quests.

In Little Miss Sunshine (2006), Olive wants to win the beauty pageant, but before she can win that battle, she must gain an capacity (the Sword).

In Thelma and Louise (1991), Thelma desperately wants to change her life. When she pulls a gun on the officer, takes his belt and glasses - that is her treasure, the embodiment of her New Self.

In American Beauty (1999), when Carolyn ecstatically fires her gun in the shooting range - that is her treasure, the embodiment of her New Self.

Travel Insurance Pre-Existing Conditions Coverage - How It Works

2007-03-21T18:42:00.000-07:00

What is a Pre-Existing Medical Condition?

When a trip cancellation travel insurance company mentions to
a "Pre-Existing
Condition", they are talking about medical statuses that
be in the
Lookback Time Period that immediately preceeds the travel
insurance purchase
date.

Simply put, a Pre-Existing Condition is any medically
documented condition (no matter how minor) an
Insured Person, Traveling Companion or Family Member
have been treated for, consulted with or received advice on. This includes any accommodations or changes in any
prescription drugs or medicine during the Lookback
Period. The status have to be medically stable.

Medically Stable also includes the thought that nil
is foreseen or expected to "be a bend for the worse". In other
words if you're given a hebdomad to dwell and you desire to purchase travel
insurance for a sail next month, you can't cover the
Pre-Existing Condition. It's wish wanting to purchase Fire Insurance
when your house is on fire.

Here's some existent policy wording:

“Any injury, illness, illness or medical status of an
Insured or Family Member which either manifests itself or
bes during the Lookback Time Time Period immediately preceding
the twenty-four hours you purchase Travel Insurance, unless the status is
controlled through the pickings of prescription drugs or
medicine and stays controlled throughout the
Lookback Period. A pre-existing status have manifested
itself when medical care, treatment or diagnosis have been
given.”

What this agency is starting today, if during the Lookback
Period:

You, a traveling comrade or a household member, have any
injury, illness, disease, illness or medical condition
and
Has been diagnosed, treated for it, had any prescription
changes (increase or decrease), been advised to be
treated, had symptoms of it, hopitalized, saw a medical
professional for it, etc.
Then that individual have a Pre-Existing Condition as
defined by a Travel Insurance policy. Note: If that individual have got got
a medical status that’s farther in the past than the
Lookback Period, they don't have a Pre-Existing
Condition.

Why is this important?

You can call off or disrupt your trip or have medical
treatment even if you have a Pre-Existing Condition – if you
follow the rules.

Trip cancellation travel insurance excepts claims owed to
pre-existing medical
conditions. Some travel insurance programs will relinquish the
pre-existing condition
exclusion at no extra charge if you get your travel insurance
in the first 10, 14
or 21 years after your first trip payment day of the month (before the end
of these 10, 14 or
21 days).

Any payment on your trip is considered the first payment. This includes the tax you pay when you deliver frequent
circular tickets, refundable sedimentations or even a trip planning
audience fee if that fee is later credited toward your trip
costs.

You'll protect yourself if you have got to call off or disrupt your
trip or have medical treatment because of that
pre-existing medical condition. There are three primary
regulations to maintain in mind:

You have got got to see your trip's full prepaid,
non-refundable cost and
person with the medical status have to be medically
stable when you get your insurance and
You must get your travel insurance in the first 10, 14 or
21 years after your first trip payment date

If you're past the first 10, 14 or 21 years you will be governed
by the "Lookback Period".

What's the underside line?

If Pre-Existing Conditions are a concern for you or your
traveling companions,
you have to purchase your trip cancellation travel insurance within
the deadlines.

Auto Insurance Rating System Explained

As drivers and motorists we be given to look at insurance policies as commodities, and rightly so. Hence, we be given not to have got loyalty to any peculiar insurance company as we mainly shop around to happen the best possible rate. Most consumers don’t cognize what factors influence their car insurance rates. This article is intended to bridge that gap. Knowing what factors influence rates is the first measure in determining how to lower your insurance rates going forward.
In no peculiar order, the following are factors in your car insurance rating:

1. Type of vehicle: Most consumers believe that the higher the value of the car, the higher the rate of insurance. On the surface, this sounds logical. Insurance companies have got got got got to pay to repair cars when they are involved in a claim, have had a collision, have been stolen, etc. The value of the car makes have some bearing on the rates. But the chief factor is the safety of the vehicle. Safer cars cost less to insure. Insurers wage for accident benefits when an insured is harmed in an accident. Think about this: It costs a batch more to repair a human beingness than it makes to repair physical damage on a vehicle.
2. Your location: where you dwell and where your vehicle is parked impacts your rates. This is because different parts have got different loss frequencies. Possible factors could include congestion, weather condition conditions, theft frequencies, and access to loss extenuation services. So if you’re shopping for a car insurance quote and can’t believe that your uncle in Ioway is paying one-half as much for the exact same car, it’s probably because you dwell in Los Angeles (or Toronto, or Chicago, or New York, Etc.) and the possible for loss is a batch higher in urban areas.
3. The amount and type of strong beliefs on your record: It still amazes me how some people don’t understand why tickets impact your insurance rating.

And, yes, the insurance company pays for that; so, you will have got to pay a higher rate to counterbalance for the higher risk. One of my favourite inquiries is, “How makes a seatbelt ticket affect the insurance company?” People don’t understand why a seatbelt ticket would cause their insurance rates to increase. Remember point #1 where I stated that it costs more than to repair a human beingness than it makes to repair a car? If you don’t wear a seatbelt, you have got a far greater opportunity of being ache if you are involved in an accident.
4. Number of claims on your record: The more than claims you have got got had in the past the higher the chance that you will have claims in the future. Bashes this need any additional explanation? I believe not.
5. Your age: Statistics show that younger drivers are involved in more than accidents. So, unfortunately, new drivers have got bad experiences with insurance companies from the get go. Insurance is odd in that the people with the agency and ability to pay often have got the lowest rates, whereas the drivers without a high discretional income end up being charged more.
6. Credit Rating: This is a relatively modern evaluation factor that is, lately, being utilized by more than than and more insurance companies and it is becoming the most accurate forecaster of future claims. The better a person’s credit evaluation the lower the possible of future claims. While on the surface this may look discriminatory, it is not. To explicate the reasoning, person with a low credit evaluation most likely have a low income and have money problems. So, this individual would be more than likely to do a fraudulent claim or artificially increase the badness of a legitimate claim to get insurance money. Fraudulent claims cost everybody money, so why base on balls along the cost to honorable people? Insurance companies figure it is better to hit this demographic with higher rates than to increase everybody’s rates, which would include honorable drivers.
I trust that you, now, better understand how your car insurance rate is determined. Having this information will assist you the adjacent clip you name your insurance broker or agent to regenerate your insurance policy or to bespeak an auto insurance quote.

Is Travel Insurance Right For You?

2007-02-20T19:36:00.000-08:00

Round the clock room service, clean accommodations, but it’s a tourist’s nightmare. You’re not in a hotel, you’re in the hospital, having had the misfortune of getting sick in the middle of what was supposed to be a dream vacation. And the worst thing is that you’ll be spending more on health care than you would’ve on an actual tour.

Travelers often think that travel insurance is just a waste of money – it is an expense for something that they would likely not use anyway. Foregoing insurance can be a tough decision. In order to help you arrive at the right decision you should ask yourself the following questions:

What is the coverage of your current insurance? If you already have a great comprehensive insurance, you may not need any other insurance. Some policies would cover treatment given anywhere in the world.

What are the limitations of the proposed plan? Try to find out the stipulations being offered by the plan as well as the conditions for the coverage. You wouldn’t want to be blindsided when you do get to use the plan.

Where is your travel destination? Study the places you will visit. Does the environment pose more health risks?

Are you the type who visits the doctor often? Determine how many times you have visited a doctor or the hospital over the last few months. People who worry about their health too much are better off getting health insurance.

Do you get sick often? If you are the type who catches bugs easily then insurance is the best option.

How much would the insurance cost? Ultimately, you will have to consider how much you are going to spend. If you already pay for health care then paying for one while you are travelling should be just another incidental expense for you.

What are the limits of the plan you are considering? Do you want to incur no costs on the road, or do you want to take your chances with a high deductible? Will your policy provide coverage for an ER visit if you cut yourself in your Sydney hostel kitchen? What about emergency evacuation? Will you be somewhere with good health care or should you expect to be sent to another country in case of a serious injury or treatment?

Travel insurance, though often overlooked as not necessary, may be well worth the small expense when you find yourself at the mercy of overseas health care and the environmental risks of foreign countries.

Who Else Wants to Understand Travel Insurance Policy Language?

2007-02-08T18:45:00.000-08:00

Aren't all travel insurance programs basically the same?

No. When you read travel insurance policy language, retrieve that as with any legal document, the definition of the terms is what governs the workings of the policy (including payment of the claim). I make hypothetical travel scenarios for preparation purposes. This includes contacting our travel insurance suppliers’ claims sections to see how they manage a given scenario.

A common concern of travelers are Pre-Existing Medical Conditions. In some cases, you can cancel, disrupt your trip or have medical treatment if you (or a non-traveling household member) have a pre-existing condition. It have to make with the policy’s wording.

All travel insurance excepts claims owed to pre-existing medical conditions. Some travel insurance programs will relinquish the pre-existing condition exclusion if you get your travel insurance in the first 10, 14 or 21 years after your first trip payment day of the month (ie - before the end of these 10, 14 or 21 days).

Any payment on your trip is considered the first payment. This includes the tax you pay when you deliver frequent circular tickets, refundable sedimentations or even a trip planning audience fee if that fee is later credited toward your trip costs.

You'll protect yourself if you have got to call off or disrupt your trip because of that pre-existing medical condition. There are three primary regulations to maintain in mind:

You have got to see your trip's full prepaid, non-refundable cost and
The individual with the medical status have to be medically stable when you get your insurance and
You must get your travel insurance in the first 10, 14 or 21 years after your first trip payment date.

You can call off or disrupt your trip or have got medical treatment even if you have a pre-existing condition - if you follow these rules.

This looks simple enough, doesn’t it?

Yes. Except there are companies that construe this diction slightly different from what you expect. Be on the lookout man for a clause in policies that states, “General exclusions include any expected or foreseeable events”.

What this agency to you is this: If you purchase a travel insurance policy that includes the words “General exclusions include any expected or foreseeable events”, here’s what you need to do:

Ask if purchasing the policy in the Release Time Period really makes relinquish this general exclusionand
Are there other statuses (ie - medically stable or covering the full trip cost) that have got to be satisfied

No SurprisesIf you are told, “No, that wouldn’t be covered because it’s not unforeseen”, One strongly suggest you maneuver clear of those companies - you don’t desire an unexpected surprise.

We make not offer policies from companies that drama this semantics game. Like you, I desire to be certain a travel insurance program will work just like I expected it to.

Travel Insurance Pre-Existing Conditions Coverage - How It Works

2007-02-06T18:42:00.000-08:00

What is a Pre-Existing Medical Condition?

When a trip cancellation travel insurance company refers to
a "Pre-Existing
Condition", they are talking about medical conditions that
exist in the
Lookback Period that immediately preceeds the travel
insurance purchase
date.

Simply put, a Pre-Existing Condition is any medically
documented condition (no matter how minor) an
Insured Person, Traveling Companion or Family Member
has been treated for, consulted with or received advice on.
This includes any adjustments or changes in any
prescription drugs or medication during the Lookback
Period. The condition has to be medically stable.

Medically Stable also includes the idea that nothing
is foreseen or expected to "be a turn for the worse". In other
words if you're given a week to live and you want to buy travel
insurance for a cruise next month, you can't cover the
Pre-Existing Condition. It's like wanting to buy Fire Insurance
when your house is on fire.

Here's some actual policy wording:

“Any injury, illness, sickness or medical condition of an
Insured or Family Member which either manifests itself or
exists during the Lookback Period immediately preceding
the day you buy Travel Insurance, unless the condition is
controlled through the taking of prescription drugs or
medication and remains controlled throughout the
Lookback Period. A pre-existing condition has manifested
itself when medical care, treatment or diagnosis has been
given.”

What this means is starting today, if during the Lookback
Period:

You, a traveling companion or a family member, has any
injury, illness, disease, sickness or medical condition
and
Has been diagnosed, treated for it, had any prescription
changes (increase or decrease), been advised to be
treated, had symptoms of it, hopitalized, saw a medical
professional for it, etc.
Then that person has a Pre-Existing Condition as
defined by a Travel Insurance policy. Note: If that person has
a medical condition that’s farther in the past than the
Lookback Period, they don't have a Pre-Existing
Condition.

Why is this important?

You can cancel or interrupt your trip or receive medical
treatment even if you have a Pre-Existing Condition – if you
follow the rules.

Trip cancellation travel insurance excludes claims due to
pre-existing medical
conditions. Some travel insurance plans will waive the
pre-existing condition
exclusion at no extra charge if you get your travel insurance
in the first 10, 14
or 21 days after your first trip payment date (before the end
of these 10, 14 or
21 days).

Any payment on your trip is considered the first payment.
This includes the tax you pay when you redeem frequent
flyer tickets, refundable deposits or even a trip planning
consultation fee if that fee is later credited toward your trip
costs.

You'll protect yourself if you have to cancel or interrupt your
trip or receive medical treatment because of that
pre-existing medical condition. There are three primary
rules to keep in mind:

You have to insure your trip's full prepaid,
non-refundable cost and
person with the medical condition has to be medically
stable when you get your insurance and
You must get your travel insurance in the first 10, 14 or
21 days after your first trip payment date

If you're past the first 10, 14 or 21 days you will be governed
by the "Lookback Period".

What's the bottom line?

If Pre-Existing Conditions are a concern for you or your
traveling companions,
you have to buy your trip cancellation travel insurance within
the deadlines.

This "preferred" company will be able to give you further insurance premium credits.

Are Accidents More Likely To Occur Closer To Home?

2007-01-01T17:41:00.000-08:00

If you are going to be involved in an accident, chances are it will happen close to your home. Progressive Insurance polled 11,000 of its policyholders who experienced accidents in 2001. They found that 52% were involved in accidents within five miles from there home and 69% were involved in accidents within ten miles from their home. Only 17% of those polled experienced accidents beyond twenty miles from his or her home (Strillacci, 2002).

To some people, this is major news and would deter them from driving. I would hope this statistic would not do this to you. I anticipate this article will actually give you confidence in driving short, and long, distances from your home as well as show you the important role insurance plays in our lives.

As I already showed statistically, you are likely to get into an accident within 10 miles from your home. Before this scares you into never driving again take a moment to think about that statistic. It makes sense. For most people, their 'comfort zone' is close to home. People usually grocery shop, go to church and go to work within a few miles of their home. And when you compare that amount of people to the amount of drivers who travel for a living or drive long distances to see relatives or for vacation, you can see how that statistic came about.

Now, knowing that the statistic is skewed, the next question to answer is 'Will it make sense to drive longer distances to go grocery shopping, to go to work, to go to church, etc.?' In order to answer that question, you need to address the needs of time and money. You will also need to address the perils of driving shorter distances versus driving longer distances.

Before you extend your 'comfort zone' of driving, you have to analyze your costs of time and money. If you wish to drive further to meet your needs, you may have to wake up earlier, get home later, go to bed earlier, spend less time with your family, etc. And, if you wish to drive further to go grocery shopping, you will have to consider bringing a cooler to keep your cold food from spoiling until you get home. Other additional costs include adding mileage to your vehicle. This extra mileage lowers your vehicle's re-sale value. It increases the frequency of oil changes and tire changes. It also increases the chances of having other engine problems with your vehicle. Another cost to consider is the ever-increasing cost of gasoline.

Before you extend your normal driving 'zone,' you will also need to evaluate the perils you will face in driving short and longer distances.

Some of the dangers of driving within ten miles of your home include sharing the road with people with short attention spans. These people are running an errand and are only going four blocks from where they live. People may not be wearing safety belts. Again, many may have a false sense of security since they are not traveling a long distance from their home. Another concern that affects some is if it is really rainy out, flash flooding can become an issue.

When you drive longer distances however, you also face hazards. For example, you are sharing the road with people who may be sleep-deprived. You may be sharing the road with people who have become mesmerized from their long trip; and as a result they are in a hypnotic state that causes their senses to become dulled. And as you probably have seen many times you may also be sharing the road with someone going the speed of Jean-Luc Picard of the Enterprise.

It might not make sense to extend your 'comfort zone' due to time and money restraints. Even if you can extend your 'comfort zone', regardless of the costs of time and money, you still face perils and the possibility of being involved in an accident. What do you do?

Make sure your insured. Insurance is known as 'risk transference.' With insurance, you are transferring the risk of financial loss that comes with an accident to the insurance company. As to which insurance company to use and how much insurance to purchase, that is another article in itself. Just do the necessary research, and purchase as much insurance as you can afford. And, as a result of transferring your risk, you are left with the peace of mind knowing that regardless of the distance you are driving and the perils you are facing, you will be covered for the limits you chose to purchase.

So, the next time you are leaving to go four blocks to run an errand and someone reminds you of the statistic that accidents usually occur within ten miles of your home, smile for two reasons. First, knowing that you are going to face perils on the road regardless of the distance you are driving. And, second, knowing that with your insurance you are transferring the risk to the insurance company for the limits you chose to purchase.

Finding Life Insurance Quotes For Adult Children

2006-12-27T21:12:00.000-08:00

Shopping for life insurance quotes for adult children isn't any different than it is for adults or seniors. Underwriting issues can vary a little but essentially life insurance quotes for adult children follows the same routine.

Where we do see a difference is in qualifying. Some companies don't allow you to buy more than (2) times what the adult parent has, other companies may use other multiples. Underwriting also considers the premium paying capabilities of the person being insured and etc.

A certain amount of caution exists when companies receive applications for children. A simple explanation on the back of the application will normally set everyone at ease. Being a advocate of carrying insurance myself I bought a liufe policy on my 12 year old son simple to get him started at an early age and lock in his rates forever. It also started a modest savings plans built into the policy.

We included a feature to be able to buy more over the years at certain intervals with the guarantee issue feature that if for some reason my son couldn't qualify because of a health issue the company had to issue the agreed option amount. Normally we don't consider those issue to ever come into place but I knew that things like that happened.

Guess what, (20) years later that son got married. After the wedding and the smoke cleared they bought a condo, settled in and my son decided he should purchase more insurance. Over the (20) period prior to marriage he had had migraine headaches and the issue was never resolved as to why so the doctor prescribed vicodin for pain relief. When Robert applied for the newly wanted additional insurance he was told no because of the pre-existing condition.

We remembered the guarantee option on the policy I bought him years ago and he exercised that option, was issued as promised at normal rate, no questions asked.

So I certainly encourage anyone to find life insurance quotes for adult children. You just never know what lies ahead.

10 Ways To Save On Car Insurance

2006-12-24T22:39:00.000-08:00

For most people car insurance is a the single largest insurance expense after health insurance. Rates are high and are forever climbing, at least it seems that way. You can save money on your car insurance premiums by following these easy to implement steps.

1. Shop Around. Yes, it pays to shop and compare. Regulatory changes at the state level may have encouraged new companies to jump into the market, thereby increasing competition and reducing rates for consumers.

2. Raise Your Deductible. A $200 deductible sounds wise until you learn that the cost for having a deductible at this threshold can drive your rates through the roof. Consider a deductible as high as $1000 to save on premiums. You can always fix minor mishaps on your own.

3. Drop Collision. If your automobile is worth less than two or three thousand dollars, consider dropping collision altogether. Sure, you will get nothing from your insurer if your car is totaled, but the savings you realize by dropping collision can be used as a down payment for your next car.

4. Look For Discounts. If your car has certain safety features, make sure that your insurer is aware of this. Older cars, for the most part, do not have air bags but if you have a model that has airbags, you will save money on your insurance.

5. Business Deduction. If you drive your car for business, a portion of your insurance costs may be deductible. Conversely, your rates may be increased if your insurer knows that you use your car more for business than pleasure.

6. Combine Policies. Purchase your homeowners, auto, and life insurance policies from the same broker and you may save on your premiums. Some insurance companies reward policyholders if they “one-stop” purchase all of their insurance needs through one company.

7. Consider Before You Buy. The Porsche Boxster may be your ideal car, but it could also sharply raise your insurance rates. Maybe a less sporty model would be ideal.

8. Driver’s Ed Course. You may have taken a driver’s education course and your insurance company has not factored that in when determining your premium. Let them know that you are a safe driver!

9. Deleted Points. If you had moving violations that were reported to your insurance company, make sure that your insurer adjusts your premium downward if several years have gone by since the occurrence. You could be paying a premium higher than you deserve.

10. Check Your Policy. If the insurer has the wrong address, town or zip code on your policy you could find yourself paying more than you should.

Reducing your car insurance costs should not be an impossible feat. By following these steps you should realize some savings the next time your policy comes up for review.

How Much Can My Auto Rate Increase After One Accident?

2006-12-18T18:38:00.000-08:00

Accidents almost always do your insurance rates increase. Whether or not the accident was your fault, your insurance company may have got to pay for your engagement in it. Most 'at fault' accidents consequence in an addition in premium, because the accident will get rated against all of your coverages. When supply lessenings and demand increases, costs get more than than expensive.

If you did not carry adequate insurance at the clip of your accident you may now be required to carry more insurance. Carrying more than insurance bes higher premiums. Some companies may not desire to offer you insurance coverage at all after you report an accident.

As I stated earlier, when you are involved in an accident your insurance company may have got to pay for your claim - even if the accident was not your fault. These types of coverage - Personal Injury Protection, Medical Protection, Uninsured Motorist, and Collision - will screen you and the people in your vehicle when the accident is not your fault.

If you are 'at fault' for the accident, theses types of coverage - Personal Injury Protection, Property Damage Liability, Bodily Injury Liability, Medical Payments, Collision, and Other than hit - will assist cover you, the people in your vehicle, your vehicle, the other party, and the other's party's property.

Now, if you are 'at fault' for the accident, there are assorted grounds why your rates will increase. The first is having your current insurance coverage premium's reflect the charge for this accident. Insurance companies usually charge 'points' to your policy at its renewal. Depending on the insurance company, these points will be charged to your policies for three, five, or even seven years.

The adjacent more than expensive rate will be if your state necessitates that you carry an SR-22. You will need to carry this word form and its necessary coverages if you did not have got adequate insurance at the clip of the accident. Getting an SR-22 will cause you more than than money and even more exasperation by disbursement clip getting this discourtesy taken care of.

You will need to carry this word form and its required coverages for three old age - whether or NOT you have a vehicle. There are some insurance companies who make not compose SR-22 policies. To do certain you are carrying adequate insurance to avoid this word form and its required coverages, contact your state's Department of Motor Vehicles.

Another manner an accident can increase your rates is owed to the basic macroeconomic terms, which I am certain everyone have heard of, supply and demand. When the supply is high and the demand is low as a consequence the terms is low. Conversely, when the supply is low and the demand is high the consequence is the rates are higher.

This rule also uses to car insurance. When you are 'at-fault' in an accident, there are some companies who will not see you. You have got just cut the supply of insurance companies and increased your demand. As a result, your rate is higher. Like declared previously, some insurance companies will not compose SR-22 policies. This additional lowers the supply of insurance companies and additional additions your demand. And, as a result, you will have got a higher insurance rate. And when you add the insurance 'points,' you can see how expensive an accident can be.

Take preventive measurements to avoid accidents. Avoid distractions, be aware of your surroundings, and make not drive in adverse weather condition conditions, if you have got a choice. As you can see, an accident can have got an impact on your rates, especially if you are at fault for it.

Shop around.

Prices change from company to company, so it pays to shop around. Get at least three terms quotes. You can name companies directly or access information on the Internet. Your state insurance section may also supply comparisons of terms charged by major insurers.

Get quotes from different types of insurance companies. Some sell through their ain agents. These agencies have got the same name as the insurance company.

A deductible is the amount of money you have got to pay toward a loss before your insurance company starts to pay a claim. The higher your deductible, the more than money you salvage on your premium. See a deductible of at least $500. If you can afford to raise it to $1,000, you may salvage as much as 25%. If you dwell in a disaster-prone area, your insurance policy may have got a separate deductible for damage from major disasters.

But do certain this concerted terms is lower than purchasing policies from different companies.

• Don't mistake what you paid for your house with rebuilding costs. The land under your house isn't at hazard from theft, windstorm, fire and the other hazards covered in your homeowners policy. So don't include its value in deciding how much homeowners insurance to buy. If you do, you'll pay a higher insurance premium than you should.

If your car is deserving less than the cost of the auto insurance insurance premiums (a general guideline is less than $2,000), it may not do sense to keep this coverage. Without hit coverage, if your car is damaged in an accident, you will be responsible for repairing smaller damages on your ain or purchasing a new vehicle.

Comprehensive Coverage

This type of auto insurance coverage associates only to your ain vehicle. It assists screen the costs of accidents involving no other cars (for example, hitting a deer), as well as theft, fire damage, or vandalism.
