Iowa Floods: Reconsidering Flood Insurance

2008-06-20T10:00:00.001-07:00

This is not how I like to get reminded of things, but sometimes thatâs just how it goes. I hope all those out there affected by the floods are at least safe. A few months ago I wrote about buying flood insurance even if you are not required to by your mortgage lender. This means you are outside the 100-year floodplain, but could still be in the 500 year floodplain (1 in 500 chance each year, or 0.2%). Check if you are in a flood plain here. We got quotes, but never actually got around to buyin

Service Member's Group Life Insurance (SGLI)

2008-06-18T10:00:00.001-07:00

SGLI is a low cost program of group term life insurance available automatically to all service members on active or inactive duty for training and members of the Military Reserves.

Bad Investment? Losing The Million Dollar House, Literally

2008-06-17T10:00:00.000-07:00

Last weekend, we got a chance to catch up with some family friends (Mr. and Mrs. B.) during a nice sit down dinner with our family. We got to swapping stories on real estate and business for a little bit, and it was as invigorating as we always expect it to be. The conversation, however ventured onto some awkward territory when we inquired about our friendsâ latest real estate investment, which was their second home â" a dream home at that, sitting right at the edge of the California coast. It w

Levees on Rio Grande Need Repairs

2008-06-16T10:00:00.001-07:00

Joel Gay over at the New Mexico Independent, for which I also write, has a great piece up about the state of the levees on the Rio Grande river.ALBUQUERQUE -- The thick earthen levees that were built decades ago to prevent the Rio Grande from flooding into Albuquerque are so old and in such poor condition that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says they need to be rebuilt. The estimated cost to local and federal taxpayers: $120 million.That seems like an obscene amount of money, but in the grand

McCainâs mistake: Putting economic issues on the front-burner

2008-06-15T10:00:00.001-07:00

John McCain recently acknowledged, âThe issue of economics is not something Iâve understood as well as I should.â Thatâs a perfectly accurate self-assessment, but the Republican presidential hopeful is in a bit of a jam â" he hoped to ride into the White House merely by being wrong about Iraq. Now that the economy is the top issue on votersâ minds, McCain has no choice but to at least pretend like he cares about the issue and has a clue as to what heâs talking about. Yesterday, then, was a big

Monoline Malaise

2008-06-14T10:00:00.001-07:00

Yves Smith at Naked Capitalism had a good post on the financial guarantors. It dealt with MBIAâs new refusal to make a capital contribution to its subsidiaries. Hereâs the companyâs take on the matter. And here was my comment at her (Yvesâ) blog: David Merkel saidâ¦ Were I Dinallo, I would refuse to allow them to set up a new monoline. He has that authority for his own state. I might also take the existing companies into conservation. Then, let MBIA take their spare capital and try to set up a

Big Wave Trampoline: Slippery When Wet

If underwater pogo-sticking isnât your style of extreme summer fun, there are plenty of other ways to get your dose of cool water in the summer heat while putting your precious body at risk. Trampolines arenât the safest of activities even when they arenât soaked in a layer of fall-inducing water, but add a little bit of slip-and-slide fun, and you have yourself a toy made for the most daring of kids. The 13â² Big Wave Trampoline mixes the fun of jumping up and down over and over again at uns

Mathematics

2008-06-11T10:00:00.001-07:00

How important is mathematics in the rearing of a child? Speaking personally, mathematics shaped me. The son of poor working class parents, living in a basement apartment in a strange town without relatives at a time when six years of world war had impoverished the nation, I was fortunate in having a father who believed in education. He took a second job to pay the Â£7 a term for me to go to a small private school at the age of 4. I could already read by the age of 2, though my reading matter was

When to Ask For Help

2008-06-09T10:00:00.001-07:00

The ârefining fireâ I mentioned earlier this week has lessened thanks to the generosity of our church family. We had an unexpected bill from our auto insurance company, who had decided that we were a credit risk and put us on a six month plan instead of a monthly payment! I learned later from our elder, who is also an insurance agent for a different company, that they shouldnât have done that to a 10-year + loyal customer. Well, I paid the bill out of fear and was left very short for the month

Matthew Yglesias goes on vacation and his blog gets culture. Guest-blogger Alyssa notes a Smithsonian magazine list of the top 10 art heists of all time. Only three of those cases also pop up on the FBI's top-10 list, which just goes to show that the black market for art is storied. Alyssa writes, "Prints are cool, but it's fun to imagine having the real thing tucked away to look at." But that's only ever been the established motive in one case: the theft of Goya's Portrait of the Duke of Wel

Breast Cancer Awareness: Help Make June Survivor Month!

Before we go straight to the point, we understand that some of you had read this article on breast cancer before. This is, in fact, the third time that you will be reading it. Nevertheless, we do not mind posting it again, because breast cancer is not a plaything. If we do nothing about it, our lives can be destroyed, but if we act now, our lives can be saved. Breast cancer occurs when cancer cells start to develop in the breast tissues. In the recent years, breast cancer has become rampant

Car insurance for burlesque performers - aargh!

Ok, so I know this may seem like a weird thread, but it is burlesque-related, honest! Recently my car insurance came up for renewal, but as I'm no longer going to be a student, using the car for work etc, I've had to make some changes to the policy. So, I decided to scout around a bit and see what kind of quotes I came up with and you wouldn't believe the problems I ran into! 3 different agencies turned me down because of my occuapation (working in the Arts) and when I asked why, I was told b

2008-06-05T10:00:00.001-07:00

Friday and Puerto Rico. This is a big and important primary even if Nancy Pelosi is saying the race is already settled. Nancy Pelosi is not the ruler of the universe. She's not even the ruler of the Democratic Party. The people are the rulers, or they are supposed to be, in what is supposed to be the People's Party. So if Nancy Pelosi attempts to hijack the process and install her crush Barack Obama as the nominee, she's not just sending a message that the voters don't matter to the party, sh

Obama as Robin Hood: Why Soaking the Rich Doesn't Work

2008-06-02T10:00:00.001-07:00

For months now, Barack Obama has been campaigning as a latter-day Robin Hood. He touts a vision of an America in which he will take from the evil rich and give liberally (pun fully intended) to the worthy poor: John McCain has served his country with honor, and I respect that service. But for two decades, he has supported policies that have shifted the burden on to working people. And his only answer to the problems created by George Bushâs policies is to give them another four years to fail. J

Downsize for Equity in Retirement Years

2008-06-01T10:00:00.001-07:00

If youâre close to retirement and have a lot of equity locked up in your home, consider downsizing as a means of supplementing your savings and reducing your overhead. The cost to maintain a large home in your later years can often be very high with increasing utilities, homeowners insurance, and property taxes so it might make sense to move into a smaller home with a more manageable space. A side benefit of downsizing is that you might be able to recapture the equity youâve built up and put it

Do All Women Have the Right to Become Mothers?

2008-05-31T10:00:00.001-07:00

Several thousand dollars for fertility treatment? Even as I gasped in shock at the high cost, the subject of the documentary film I was watching exhaled in relief because she was able to afford it. "This is worth it," she told her partner, and I could tell by the emotion in her voice that she meant it. But I wondered how low-income and poor people were able to afford infertility treatment when the cost is so high and coverage so limited. I know a lot of people who intend to have a baby but

The Green Metal Box

An extended excerpt from Charlie Sykes: On this Memorial Day, I want to do some personal remembering. A year ago on May 1, as some of you may know, my mother died. She was 87. A year ago today May 25, I found a green metal file box among the things we were able to save. Inside was the story of her first husband, a young man named Lambert Hruska, who joined the army in the months before WWII, rose to the rank of captain with the 3rd Infantry Seventh Army, was awarded the Silver Star and bron

Kirsten Dunst's Innocent Claims of 'Depression' Rehab Quickly Shot Down

Taking a break from shooting All Good Things on the Upper West Side, Kirsten Dunst tells E!âs Marc Malkin that she didnât go to Cirque Lodge to get treatment for drug or alcohol abuse, but simply because she was depressed. âI was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didnât know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.â Except Cirque Lo

What It Takes To Be A Great Trial Lawyer - Part 19

The Knowledge That You Are Only as Good as Your Next Verdict. I stole this idea from a friend in Atlanta who told me about it over a decade ago. While I disagree with the notion some might take from this statement (that a lawyer has to win or has done a poor job), I wholeheartedly agree with what I know was intended by the statement: great trial lawyers do not rest on their laurels. There is no doubt that some percentage of lawyers who have had a few victories start to believe their own pr

The whole discussion about Todd Bentley and the Lakeland Revival has led me to think back a great deal about the Brownsville Revival. There were and are a number of concerns while at the same time I donât want to be a blanket critic. But I have personally seen people seriously hurt by the excesses that tend to accompany a mass revival movement. Activity involves risk, so when I give cautions about risks one should not assume that I am saying to avoid the whole movement and everyone in it becau

To my surprise, this morning I found myself cited by the Wall Street Journal as a strong advocate of subsidies for food-based ethanol, and as a recipient of "federal dole" who ought to "take a vow of embarrassed silence." While I appreciate the Journal's foray into fiction writing (and I'd love to discuss my status on the dole with my accountant, who recently filed my taxes), I would like to clarify a few of the facts and offer a more rounded view of biofuels and ethanol in general.

Understanding Salary Caps and Why The NFL opted out

2008-05-26T04:00:00.001-07:00

OK, maybe I can't say for certain why the NFL opted out of their current CBA. But what I can speak to is the problem with salary caps as they are structured in the NHL, NFL and NBA, so that sports fans can understand why the NFL is doing what it is doing and why it could and probably will happen in any league governed by a salary cap. The basic structure of a salary cap is that the revenues of the league are aggregated into a total pool, call it football, basketball or hockey related income. E

As we all know, mastering or even just managing our personal financial situations is a long and tedious road. We make decisions that affect our personal financial situation several times each day. From the clothes we wear to the car we drive, to the lunch we eat..it all affects our finances. Whether we like to think about it or not, we cannot escape the reality that we will never be completely free from the day to day management of our finances.

Early Detection And Breast Cancer

It is generally accepted that by the time a cancer is found by mammography or palpated during a clinical breast exam, the cancer has been growing for 8-10 years. What if we could have been alerted to the problem as it was developing, rather than wait till it is large enough to be seen by the naked eye? Would that be of interest to you? There exists a technology that can detect an issue YEARS before a tumor can be seen on X-ray or palpated during an exam. This technology has been approved by th

Northern Virginia Long-Term Care Insurance is a fairly recent phenomenon, due in part to the rapidly aging yet longer-living population, retirement planning of the "baby boomers", and quickly escalating long-term health and medical costs that aren't typically covered by traditional health insurance or Medicare. This type of insurance is especially helpful for those who develop disabilities or chronic (long-lasting) illnesses later in life. Long-term care services range from home- and community-based services to services provided in an assisted living, retirement or nursing facility - though these services are increasingly difficult to find and pay for in the fast-growing Northern Virginia counties of Loudoun, Fairfax and Arlington, much like other "close-in" suburban areas near major metropolitan centers.

Dental Insurance Plans Why Are They Necessary? Daniel Millions If you are considering signing up for a dental plan, you probably first of all asked yourself whether it is really that important to do so and why. If you have a family and especially children, then, you just have to consider the amount of money that regular check-ups at the dentistâs take up every year, and this will motivate you to think of it seriously. With dental plans, it is possible to drastically cut off on these costs. D

On a fundamental level, people really don't want to know the full scale of the economic disaster unfolding in the United States. There are very powerful forces at work to keep happy faces on grim statistics. For instance, the US equity markets seem unfazed by the credit crisis. Any bit of news that is not as bad as it might have been is seen as a cause for optimism. And yet, in thi

Is Cheap Life Insurance Really A Sensible Option Darryl Scott The term âCheap life insuranceâ is to some extent a difficult statement to define. The term can mean that they are the cheapest quotes in their category of cover, but that can mean that it is very expensive but the cheapest available option.

Long-Term Care Insurance - Why It's Important

2008-05-15T16:00:00.001-07:00

Long-Term care insurance is usually the last type of insurance to get. Some of the reasons for this are that no one wants to think of themselves needing help with bathing, eating, etc. It is very easy to procrastinate or hope that your savings will be sufficient to meet any associated expenses that will occur. Long-Term care costs are increasing rapidly with the average cost of a Nursing home at over $70,000/year. Long-term care is typically by those who are frail and elderly, but statistics show that long-term care is required by anyone with a debilitating illness or injury who needs assistance to perform what is considered everyday functions, such as feeding oneself, bathing and getting dressed.
