Plans for Tesco in Coventry rejected - Coventry News - News

2010-12-12T17:00:00.001-08:00

Dec 11 2010 by Tina Junday, Coventry Telegraph

CAMPAIGNERS have welcomed a council decision to throw out plans for a new Tesco Express store.

The supermarket had applied to build the shop on the corner of Holyhead Road and Grayswood Avenue, in Coundon.

But the application was rejected at a planning meeting on Thursday. Tesco says it plans to appeal.

Members of Brooklands Residents Association had presented two petitions, one of which was signed by more than 2,000 people.

They argued the shop would have a detrimental effect on neighbouring traders and impact on water voles in the river Sherbourne nearby as well as increase noise and traffic.

Welcoming the councilâs decision, Joan Spencer, secretary of the residents association, said: âWe are pleased that the problems with this application have been highlighted like the fact that the building is totally out of keeping with the ethos of the area, and there would have been some serious traffic problems.

âIt would have been horrendous but we do realise that the battle is not necessarily over.â

Local traders and business leaders in Coventry have also welcomed the news. The local Federation of Small Businesses had backed the campaign against the proposed shop.

Steve Mills, FSB Coventry branch chairman, said: âWe are delighted to hear the application from Tesco has been rejected. The FSB were fully in support of the campaign against the development due to its close proximity to a number of successful independent small businesses that would have been forced to close if the development had gone ahead.â

Coun Gary Ridley (Con, Sherbourne), who backed the campaign, said: âI think everyone is absolutely delighted especially for the application to be rejected by so many clear votes. Traffic considerations alone make it a dangerous proposal.â

Melanie Chiswell, who represented Tesco, said the company will appeal. She said: âItâs frustrating when there is clearly a lot of support for a development on a run down derelict site and we are one of the few developers that could do something positive with it.

âWe carried out a public consultation at a smaller level, which we would do for one of our much larger supermarkets â" weâve gone above and beyond what was expected.â

Coun Ridley said he was not surprised Tesco plans to appeal and added he was not convinced by the companyâs statistics about the extent of support for the application.

Budget Direct Car Insurance Quotes

2010-12-10T03:16:00.003-08:00

PRLog (Press Release) â" Dec 07, 2010 â" Budget Direct Car Insurance Quotes

With the emergence of live online insurance comparison websites, many people are flocking to the internet to get their car insurance quotes. When I say 'live' I am talking about instant quotes where you can continue and purchase your product straight away. So with this convenience of comparing quotes easily online, do traditional insurance brokers have a role to play in today's society?

The short answer is yes, it is important to get a car insurance quote from an insurance broker as well as a comparison from a live quote car insurance comparison websites. The reason is because each method offers you a different range of companies and underwriters to compare from. You are comparing totally different companies and more importantly different underwriters which means you will get a better range of quotes.

You are hard pressed to find an insurance company in Australia offering commissions and their product through both online comparison websites and through traditional brokers. They usually only support one type of broker if they support any at all as several companies go through neither. Check Internet #1 - Budget Direct Car Insurance Quotes @ http://insurancecure01.webs.com and solve your problems right now!

The software the brokers use is very similar to the system you use online but the only difference is it is private to the broking industry and is for offline purposes only. Some of Australia's largest insurance names only go through traditional offline brokers. If they decided to liaise with online comparison websites then they would get a large backlash from their broker network and the result would be damaging to their distribution network and sales as only a very small proportion of insurance is sold through comparison websites. Many of the insurance companies offering their product to affiliates are either newer companies to the Australian market, such as Budget Direct, or a new product from an existing company such as Bingle which is part of AAMI.

It is impossible to say which method will provide you with a cheaper car insurance quote as for some situations traditional car insurance brokers will be cheaper and other time the comparison websites will offer you a better deal. The important thing to understand is that they both offer products from different underwriters and so by using both methods to get a car insurance quote you are ensuring you get a proper comparison.

I know of one 'supposed' online comparison site in Australia, probably the largest, which offer only one underwriter in the ten live car insurance quotes - check it out yourself, the policies are almost identical and in most cases are identical. This is the type of misleading information to be wary of and which you avoid by using the dual method of broker and online comparisons.

Get Quotes for Renters Insurance - Associated Content from Yahoo!

2010-12-10T03:16:00.001-08:00

When you rent an apartment, condo, townhouse, or house, one of the first things you should consider before you unpack the boxes is to get quotes for renters insurance. Renters insurance protects you and your Â belongings while you're renting against things like theft and fire.

The landlord who you rent from carries insurance on the apartment building or house itself, but all of your furniture, clothing, and other possessions are your responsibility. To be covered, you need a rental insurance policy. In addition, renters insurance coverage can provide peace of mind for you when you have visitors. If guests who are visiting are injured, having renters insurance that protects against liability is important.

Get several renters insurance quotes so you can compare rental insurance coverage and costs. Have a checklist ready when you get renters insurance quotes. Make a list of your personal property. Next, set a value of your personal property if you had to replace it. Include furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing, jewelry, kitchen items, art, etc. Be realistic about what your possessions are worth to get adequate rental coverage.

When getting renters insurance quotes, ask about the different deductibles that are available with specific renters insurance policies. The deductible is the amount you would have to pay if you file a claim before the insurance kicks in and pays the balance. A low deductible, such as $100, would equate to higher renters insurance quotes. A lower deductible, such as $250 or higher, would net lower quotes. Determine what dollar amount you would be able to pay to decide on the deductible.

Shop around and get several renters insurance quotes. The first place to look is your insurance company that insures your vehicle. Often it's a good idea to have your insurance all at the same company to get a multi-policy discount. But go ahead and shop around to get several quotes using the same criteria, that is, give the same information to all of the insurance agents so you can compare apples to apples.

The factors that usually determine the cost of renters insurance are:

Bangkok Post : Personal protection:The insurance that matters

2010-12-10T03:15:00.003-08:00

It's commonplace for expats to insure their homes and contents, cars and prized possessions and even their pets against many eventualities. They do this because they value whatever they have insured, or more accurately, they value saving themselves _ or at least mitigating _ the inconvenience and upset of having to deal with its loss or in the case of a personal belonging, it being damaged. They go to this trouble to ensure that their lives will remain as stable as possible in the event of an accident, theft or act of God.

However, many people rarely adequately insure themselves against loss of earnings through disability or even loss of life. Is this a simple oversight, or is it because we all want to feel that such things will never happen to us?

Surely everyone wants to provide for the family they would leave behind in the event of an untimely demise. But when it comes to deciding on insurance coverage, most people find reasons to avoid or postpone making these decisions.

It's all too easy to put them off until tomorrow or whenever ''the time is right'', but as any bereaved family member or breadwinner who has suffered a heart attack will tell you, the ''right'' time is now. None of us can know what's around the corner or predict with any accuracy events that may render us uninsurable in the future.

When I ask expats to describe the standard of living they would want for their families if, say, the next flight they are on goes down, they often shrug their shoulders and look at me blankly. Some have vague ideas that are usually inadequate. They might say that perhaps US$250,000 (7.51 million baht) would be more than enough for the family.

So how do you arrive at the ideal level of insurance coverage? The best way is to do the appropriate caculations. This may seem a little morbid, or tiresome, but it is essential to ensure that you are leaving adequate provisions for the family you may leave behind.

Do you have any mortgages, loans or other debts? These would need to be cleared immediately if the worst happened or your family will inherit your debt. What level of income do you feel you would need to leave for your family? Have you thought about school and university fees and associated living costs for the children? What about your spouse and her/his living expense requirements? These are all important considerations.

When looking at these factors, you also need to take into account inflation and the way it will affect the family in the long term.

Let's take a hypothetical case. Gordon is a 36-year-old expat who is celebrating the birth of his second child. He is a successful executive in the oil industry and has been an expat for eight years. He is set to remain abroad for a long while and will retire abroad if possible. He is married to Rosalind, a 32-year-old Thai woman.

Gordon knows he needs to plan for the future of Rosalind and their children in case he is not here to take financial responsibility for them, but he's not sure how to start calculating these needs. So he decides to seek professional assistance.

Gordon meets with his financial adviser to discuss a financial protection programme for himself and his family. They consider two major possibilities. The first is death and the second permanent disability. Gordon earns about $180,000 per year and it is likely that he will secure promotions in the future as well as receive incremental salary increases. He believes that if he suffers an untimely death, his family will need support as outlined in the table on this page.

As you can see, the table deals with future requirements on a conservative basis. It assumes a reasonable standard of living and realistic future costs for the family, including education for the children. It may come as a shock for many to think that this would be the amount required to care for their loved ones if they passed on.

Notice that the amount Gordon and his adviser calculate as adequate for Rosalind to live on is reduced after the children leave home for university. Of course, this is inflated from today's prices to the time it will be required in the future.

For those who feel that $100,000, $250,000 or even $500,000 is adequate, please think again. To put it in perspective, if Gordon follows a reasonable career path and is promoted a couple of times on the way, from now until the age of 60 he would earn somewhere around $9 million.

The cost of life insurance at the level of $3 million for a man of 36 is likely to be less than $3,500 per year. Please bear in mind that life insurance needs to be underwritten individually. This is just a guide and assumes, for instance, that the applicant is a non-smoker in good health.

Of course, Gordon's assets are likely to increase, and so he will also discuss with his adviser a plan that has some flexibility in reduction of sums assured and resulting premiums as time moves forward. This would need to be evaluated and reviewed each year. Gordon is happy that he has someone who can assist in this matter.

So what happens if Gordon were to be involved in a terrible accident or contract a critical illness, leaving him disabled and unable to work again?

Coverage for this eventuality would require a separate insurance known as salary continuance, at an additional cost. Currently, the most common coverage allows for continuation of 75% of current salary, up to a maximum of about $140,000 per year. At this level, Gordon would be paying premiums of just less than $3,000 per year.

Some may regard these premiums as expensive, but they are not such a large portion of Gordon's total earnings. The longer he puts it off, the higher the premiums will get _ and the longer he and his family will be without coverage.

It is important to consider the alternative to taking on the effort and expense of insurance. If Gordon did pass away or become disabled, he would be leaving his family to cope with disastrous circumstances. Apart from the emotional turmoil, they would also be in financial peril.

If you feel that insurance is a sensible option, then surely you ought to consider insuring your most valuable asset of all _ yourself.

Jon Nadler has never been without gold. In fact, it actually helped saved his life. But that doesn't mean the senior analyst for Kitco Metals wants to see gold's sky-high price edge even higher. In this exclusive interview with The Gold Report, Jon explains why gold is an insurance policy that investors should never want to cash in on.

The Gold Report: Jon, many people classify you as a gold bear. What do you think of that characterization?

Jon Nadler: It's a function of the camps that have been delineated so firmly in this market over the last two to three years. There seems to be very little give or tolerance on either side for the other's opinion. We have staunch bulls and firm bears and, thus, the in-betweens you'll never meet.

Actually, I tend to believe I come into the market picture from a different angle. My good friend, Michael Checkan, over at Asset Strategies International in Maryland, has always quoted my motto as being: If you buy gold for the right reasons, there really isn't such a thing as the wrong time or wrong price. Gold is really a dual asset - it is a commodity, but it is also money. It does certain things for a portfolio that are very positive. Mainly, it reduces overall volatility, slightly enhances returns and, if the barn burns, it's your lifesaver. It's an insurance policy that an investor can cash in on when needed.

However, I caution - and this is where some people, I think, experience a disconnect - you don't ever want to cash in on your life insurance policy. If you have the misfortune to do so, it implies that the rest of your portfolio is a smoldering pile of rubble.

I do know some investors who prefer to have 90% of their assets in gold. Obviously, that's skewed to the extreme and it invites nothing but volatility and potential heartache. The average investor with a portfolio of assets deemed safe, sound and sanely diversified should earmark an approximate 10% allocation to gold. If that were the case, then why would investors hope for that 10% slice of pie to be running off to the moon knowing full well the other 90% of their wealth is imploding? That's the typical disconnect that investors make.

If I say that gold is overpriced, in terms of fundamentals relative to yardsticks like fair value, production costs or any number of other gauges, then we (the ultra-bulls and me) have a discord and we get into arguments about where gold might or ought to go. All sorts of predictions come into question. This is a typical situation, one wherein average investors want to be told what to do. They tend to follow the guru of the moment without regard to what their predictions really entail. That's really a problem because a $3,000, $5,000 or $6,000 gold price implies certain terrible things might be going on, and that's not necessarily a situation investors want.

TGR: Isn't there a happy medium?

JN: I think there certainly is. The best way to approach the idea of gold ownership is to ignore price and price performance (unless, of course, you're a trading-minded investor and you have discretionary funds you can afford to gamble). However, if the name of the game for one is performance, then I can certainly name three or four other metals that have far outperformed gold in both the short and medium terms. That's what I think should be taken off the table. It's the price-performance obsession at any cost and some sort of rigid, formulaic approach that says: Oh, gold must rise to its inflation-adjusted levels because, you know, all assets eventually do so. I've seen no economics or market textbook that asserts such a statement represents a valid equation to follow. Just because oil did it (briefly, I might add) doesn't mean that gold will necessarily do it, as well. If you ask people who bought their gold at the 1980s peak of $850, they obviously are $1,000 short of having broken even on the principal investment. That's not a secret. So, they really have to root for gold to rise to at least $2,300 per ounce.

How many people actually listened to my pleas in the early part of this decade when I said that gold was below production cost, there would be a reversion to the mean and that gold could perform better than it had up to that point? How many folks ran out and bought gold at $250, $300 or even at $400? Not a whole lot of them. Retail investors tend to be habitually late, impressionable trend followers. They want to go with a proven winner. It creates manias when investors are enamored with something that's consistently making headlines; but that, in and of itself, usually does not guarantee continuing performance. Just think dot-coms and Florida condos, for example.

TGR: Where do you see investment and demand in all of this? In 2008, $117 trillion was in financial assets, about $40 trillion was in managed assets like hedge funds and mutual funds and managed commodities accounted for $300 billion - a minuscule percentage. If investors put even a modest 5% of their portfolios into gold, it would bring that figure up to $1.2 trillion. We're nowhere near inflation-adjusted, all-time highs for gold. There seems to be some space there where those two items meet.

JN: Yes, but there are also a lot of arguments out there that we would quickly run out of gold if every Chinese and Indian person bought an ounce of gold. We cannot convenience every asset manager, pension fund and individual investor to give a favorable nod to gold - not even at the 3%â"5% level in a portfolio; that's become clear over 35 years of market history.

Why, after roughly 35 years of legalized ownership and trading opportunities in the U.S., 5% of the investing public even considers gold remains somewhat of a mystery to gold advocates. It bears out the argument that you're not going to get a whole lot more than that minority segment of the population interested in this asset for various reasons - not the least of which is that the U.S. hasn't undergone the experience of other traditional gold-friendly countries. Those countries have had huge dislocations, wars, regimes failing, currencies demising and so on.

The investment cycle in the U.S. seems to be driven by real-interest-rate environments and the market flavor of the day. Unfortunately, this is where I see a lot of problems in the gold market. Hedge fund/exchange traded fund (ETF) demand that came about in the wake of the Fed's incessant rate-cut campaign has really been the true and almost sole driving force in this gold market cycle. Just today, I received an update from Goldman Sachs (GS) that forecasts a peak in gold at $1,750 by the end of 2012. That's when it sees the reversal of the ultra-cheap U.S. dollar environment and the end of real negative interest rates. Goldman characterizes gold as a compelling trade but not a long-term investment.

That has to bother a pension fund trying to decide where to put its money. I spoke to a pension fund in New York just three weeks ago. Its representative said the fund had a 9% allocation in gold. I said, Well, that's terrific. The fellow responded, Yes, but we sure as heck hope that gold doesn't 'perform' because just think of the other 91% of our portfolio at that juncture.

TGR: Right.

JN: Investors have this idea that gold is a perfect inflation hedge - far from it! It has, at best, a 10% positive correlation to inflation over the long term, which means it does not tend to preserve capital in the long run in a 4%- to 5%- type of inflation scenario. Gold does very well as an inflation hedge if you live in Zimbabwe, of course, or if you expect the Weimar Republic's levels of hyperinflation to come to U.S. shores.

Looking back to 1980 bears something else out, as well. The correlation for gold as a dollar hedge, as an anti-dollar play, if you will, is -0.27. That means investors are likely to lose money at least two-thirds of the time if they buy gold just as an anti-dollar bet.

So, what is it that gold does for a portfolio? Many institutional investors, the World Gold Council and academic studies say that a minimum 6% allocation in gold will tend to slightly enhance returns without adding unwelcome levels of volatility and that it will also slightly decrease the overall level of risk without sacrificing returns. For your investment soup, gold is a sort of MSG (monosodium glutamate) - a perfect ingredient. Still, it's not being treated in that fashion by everyone. There are strictly performance-oriented hedge funds out there that want to squeeze the last buck out of a 'hot trade. For those funds, gold's diversification attributes and long-term insurance benefits are absolutely meaningless. They will push the sell button when their particular price target is reached. Individual investors tend to be far more loyal to gold and see it as a long-haul asset.

TGR: I think very few people argue that gold is for everyone.

JN: It certainly isn't the case anymore. I say this because we've seen what happened in the summer where certain gold-selling companies were being dragged in front of Congressional investigators. We hear stories about the elderly lady who's income oriented, has very little life savings and is being urged to put the majority of what she has into gold because, you know, the end is near.

TGR: What about the monetary base in the U.S., which has grown from $1 billion in September 2008 to $2 trillion now? That certainly seems like it would be in favor of gold in the long term.

JN: Certain metrics, M2 and MZM, are contracting and falling to the floor, so it is apparent there is no 'naked' round-the-clock type of money printing going on. What has been printed has been successfully sold off as debt. How will the Fed's exit strategy be achieved? It will be achieved in the same fashion as the previous 11 contractions were dealt with after World War II. Liquidity was injected into the U.S. economy up to a point, and then extraction followed. The effects of inflation at a much higher-than-desirable level were sanitized. On we go with another cycle.

TGR: You did an interview with Hard Assets Investor in May when gold was about $1,250 where you said you believed gold was retreating. Now gold has surpassed $1,400. Were you speaking to a longer timeframe?

JN: In May, we did have a retreat to about $1,150. It should have gone below $1,150, but it didn't because the bids hedge funds kept piling on remained in the driver's seat of the market. I ask anyone to show me the lines around the corner at the coin shop where people are panicking and lining up 1980s-style because they see manifest inflation. Gold is not in a bull market is what I remarked not long ago. For that, I received a lot of incoming (criticism). However, look at the metrics that make for a true gold bull market. First and foremost, the supply/demand basis of the market is absolutely out of kilter. That's been corroborated by all of the statistical houses - GFMS, CPM Group, VM Group, etc. - hat track gold's tonnage flows in the market. They've concluded - not just me - that the market has become a complete junkie to this [mostly fund-driven] investment niche.

TGR: The tonnage flows included the huge influx of scrap gold into the market. There are indications that scrap is going to be reduced drastically.

JN: Scrap supplies rose 27% last year to a historic high. They were 68% higher than scrap supplies in 2007. I don't see it abating until prices come down and/or stabilize at a lower level, say somewhere around $900â"$1,100.

TGR: Is there an indication that gold is going back to its traditional status as a backer of currency versus its more modern use as jewelry?

JN: I wish that were the case. At some point, gold was 60% of global reserves. The central banks' selling campaigns of previous decades have marginalized it to about 10% of global reserves. Even if we get back to 20%, gold is not making a return as a de facto alternative currency or the sole basis for some new supra-currency.

TGR: Why is that?

JN: We can't have current global GDP growth levels with the relatively infinitesimal amounts of gold that are available. We would simply have to cease growing and go back to the 17th century, economically speaking. I don't think we're near the day where gold makes that type of comeback on the international monetary scene.

TGR: You mentioned earlier that you could list some other metals that have vastly outperformed gold. Could you give us a brief overview of each?

JN: Well, for example, these days, investors are quite excited about silver because it has outperformed gold in the last few weeks. I, on the other hand, have been looking very closely at platinum, palladium and rhodium, all of which show very decent fundamentals, unlike the situation we find in gold and silver at this juncture.

Performance? Well, in 2009, gold returned about 25%. Silver returned about 53% last year. Platinum and palladium, on the other hand, returned 212% and 230%, respectively.

Silver has recently performed very well, but the risk profile for that metal remains at the very top of the heap of a bunch of portfolio assets - gold, platinum, the S&P 500, the trade-weighted dollar, etc. It carries fully double the risk entailed in investing in gold.

Demand for platinum, palladium and rhodium has been growing thanks to the industrialization and growth of Brazil, Russia India and China (BRIC). The one standout feature has been that everybody wants to have wheels in China and India. Of course, you cannot build wheels these days without making the tailpipes emit cleaner content. The minute you commit to that mandated environmental standard for auto emissions, you have to employ these metals. All three of them are absolutely vital in producing a car that meet today's stringent emissions rules.

The noble metals market is also awaiting the return of robust sales in the Western European and North American car markets, which have been in a sort of nuclear winter for the last two years. We have had to use cash-for-clunkers gimmicks in order to keep the sales from going away completely. The carmakers might be turning the corner next year, however; that's when we would expect even better performance to come from the noble metals group.

TGR: Bloomberg Markets magazine recently featured a story about how BRIC has become BIIC. Russia was taken out of the mix and Indonesia added because corruption in Russia inhibits investment there.

JN: Russia is a double-edged situation because some palladium market followers have almost declared that state stockpile sales are finished. Other people have disputed that whole scenario. It's hard to get accurate information out of the country. One thing I would look for is continued demand for vehicles in Russia - everybody wants a car. As long as Russia doesn't implode economically, I think its car demand will be OK.

I expect China to really ratchet up interest rates to try to cool inflation and growth, as well as avoid a real estate implosion. However, any tempering of the hotness in China could mean lower sales of everything. So, we have to continue to count on the traditional automobile markets in Europe and America. I think they're making a comeback, and I think we're looking at a much better situation going into next year. The U.S. is a lot more accepting of diesel-powered vehicles, which are one of the major consumers of platinum group metals.

TGR: On a personal level, what percentage of your portfolio contains gold?

JN: Not that long ago, I was on a panel with certain notables in the gold business and the MC asked all of us point-blank: Gentlemen, what do you have in gold? You're telling your followers to own lots of gold. I think all of those present, besides me, admitted to gold ownership levels of far less than 10%. Most were clustered around 5%, at best. I think the audience found it quite surprising, as some folks are practically advocating putting your life savings into gold and running for the hills. Their own exposure to the physical side of the precious metal was pitifully small. Maybe they dabble in junior mining shares and consider that exposure to gold. Maybe they play gold futures or options, I don't know. They didn't explain. However, I am sure we would all like our gold gurus to put their money where their mouth is. I've never shied away from saying that gold was my entire asset basket when I fled communism back when I was 18 years old, which is certainly corroborated in the introductory chapter of The Golden Rule: Safe Strategies of Sage Investors, a book published last summer by Jim Gibbons. I wrote the intro chapter for Jim's book, which describes my story and how gold really did save my life many years ago.

TGR: How did it save your life?

JN: Gold was the only asset that I could effectively flee with, in a physical sense. It was my nest egg that I started a new life with in North America. We sewed it into our clothing when we left. It was given to me by my grandfather, who was a gold miner. So, I've never really been without gold.

TGR: And now you hold about 10% of your portfolio in physical gold?

JN: Correct. I did reduce it previously from 15% as the metal rose beyond $1,100. I don't plan to dispose of more than that because I don't need to. I'm hoping not to make stupid decisions in other assets, which would precipitate a need to sell gold to mitigate such losses. If it comes to any other forms of exposure to the sector, I'm very conservative. I don't play or trade metals for fun and profit. When it comes to mining shares, for example, if I were to own any, I would stick strictly to the two or three majors everyone knows. Why? I always want to go with proven entities and those that I can research easily. I don't have a profile where I like to put my assets at risk.

My gold holdings are not stashed in a coffee can, either - not these days. I'm very comfortable having my gold stored by reputable, specialized custodians and having it spread out in a variety of worldwide locations. This is not because I'm expecting any North American crisis or imminent government confiscation but simply because I like the idea of asset diversification, as well as geographic diversification. That's why I also hold a number of foreign currencies in my modest little basket. Some currencies that I think are well managed are the Swiss franc, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, Swedish crown and Norwegian crown. Of course, none of that means I have any nightmares about being mainly in Canadian and U.S. dollars as the base.

TGR: What's some parting advice for investors?

JN: Gold is essential as an insurance policy on an investor's financial life. If investors have none, they should start accumulating it 1% at a time until they build up to my preferred threshold of 10%. But investors should not be without gold because, at the end of the day, this is the sole liability-free asset that can be owned outright. As Karl Malden used to say: Don't leave home without it. I would update that motto to say: Don't be home without it, but keep hoping for the best. Ignore the gold price, but focus on your percentage of ownership thereof.

TGR: We'll hope for the best. Thanks so much for your time, Jon.

Average Around $532, but Dachshunds are $858

2010-12-10T03:14:00.001-08:00

International News

December 10, 2010

A research study by Sainsbury's Finance reveals some interesting facts about costs and coverage for pets in the UK. While the average claim across all pedigree dogs was around Â£337 [$532], the average cost of a Sainsbury's Pet Insurance claim for a Dachshund was around Â£543 [$858] in 2009: the lowest average claim of any breed covered by the Sainsbury's Pet Insurance was around Â£175 [$277].

Sainsbury's Finance, which nor incidentally sells pet insurance coverage, is urging pet owners to ensure that they have quality cover to help pay for any treatment their pet may need, as veterinary costs are rising; the average value of a claim received for a dog in 2009 was over 14 percent higher than 2008. Sainsbury's Pet Insurance covers veterinary bills up to Â£7,500 [$11,862} per condition.

As a very sad result of the rising costs, Sainsbury's survey found that as of the end of 2009 56 percent of vets interviewed claimed that over the past five years, they have had to put down cats and/or dogs because their owners could not afford the treatment costs. Similarly, an alarming 88 percent of vets said that they have experienced situations where owners have rejected a recommended course of treatment or operation because they could not afford to pay for it.

Lucy Hunter, Sainsbury's Pet Insurance Manager commented: For most of us it would be unimaginable to take the decision not to go ahead with a course of treatment or worse still to end a much beloved pet's life. Unfortunately though, finding ourselves in a position where we might struggle to pay for treatment doesn't take much imagination. The only way to ensure peace of mind and to be better able to deal with un-expected vet bills is to purchase good quality pet insurance.

The survey also summarized the most and least expensive breeds of dog to treat as follows:
Dog breed Average treatment cost % difference to average cost
Top 3
Dachshund Â£543 |$858] 61 percent+
Chow Chow Â£518 [$818] 54 percent+
Italian Spinone Â£506 [$800] 50 percent+

Bottom 3
Yorkshire Terrie Â£231 [$365] 32 percent-
Greyhound Â£199 [$315] 41 percent-
Whippet Â£175 [$277] 48 percent-

Homeowners Insurance: Four Tips to Keeping Costs Down

2010-12-10T03:13:00.000-08:00

Press Release Source: HomeownersInsurance.net On Wednesday December 1, 2010, 8:10 am EST

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Especially with today's economic climate, people are looking to save money where they can. Here are four ways people can reduce their homeowners insurance rates.

1. Shop around. Some insurance companies have been raising house insurance costs to recoup losses from the financial crisis. Others are competing for new customers by offering lower rates. By shopping around people can find better deals on homeowners insurance.

2. Re-evaluate coverage amounts. Many policies have inflation protection provisions, which automatically increase coverage amounts. This was a good item in the years leading up to the crash, but today they should be looked at more closely.

3. Check personal credit reports. Homeowners insurance companies check credit history before figuring rates, similar to how lenders do. This is done to help them assess the risk of payment and likely individual responsibility.

4. Small claims can become expensive. Homeowners should have the highest deductible they can comfortably afford and repair minor items out of pocket rather than filing a claim. Filing a claim for every broken window or leaky pipe can increase premiums by 10-15%. Â Â

HomeownersInsurance.net:

HomeownersInsurance.net provides a free service that connects homeowners with agents who will offer free quotes on their homeowners insurance. The homeowner can review home insurance rates that are right for them. Shopping online for homeowners insurance is the best way to compare policies and rates to find the most comprehensive and affordable choice. Take the first step in choosing the right carrier for your homeowners insurance by visiting the website.

Don't be caught without cover if your car gets stuck in the snow

2010-12-10T03:07:00.001-08:00

Motorists who brave the freezing conditions without breakdown cover risk a long wait at the roadside if anything goes wrong.

Last weekâs big freeze brought travel chaos across the UK, Âproviding a stark reminder of just how vital cover is.

However reliable your car might be, donât think a breakdown wonât happen to you.

Just under half of us who drive have Âexperienced a breakdown, while an unlucky one in 100 have broken down over 10 times, according to new research by Co-operative Insurance.

And the AA says the number of breakdowns rises by almost a third during the winter months as snow and ice cause even more Âproblems.

Last Monday was their busiest ÂNovember day on record with nearly 25,000 call-outs.

When looking for quotes for cover donât just stick with the big names as there are now plenty of providers offering comprehensive policies for as little as Â£30 a year.

Our table above shows some of the cheapest available. They all

include roadside repair, recovery to the nearest garage or any UK destination, Ârecovery of up to seven passengers, home start-up, and Âalternative travel and Âaccommodation costs.

You can usually add Âanother person or vehicle to your policy for an additional cost, but some policies allow you to add a partner for free.

Keep an eye out for special deals at this time of year. Co-operative Insurance is cutting a third of the price of its Âcomprehensive cover for customers who take out a policy before the end of January. It now costs Â£40 Âcompared to the usual Â£59.

Before taking out cover, make sure you donât already have it with your motor insurance policy. Marks & Spencerâs Premier policy, for example, comes with UK and ÂEuropean breakdown cover.

You may be able to pick up cheap cover if youâve been storing up points on a shop loyalty card.

For example, if you have Â£35 in Tesco Clubcard vouchers you can get RAC Roadside Assistance At Home. From December 6, youâll need Â£36 in vouchers.

Case Study

'I was stuck after car slid down hill'

Kirsty Pearce, top,Â knows only too well how important breakdown cover is after she got stuck in the snow last winter.

Kirsty, 27, from Chelmsford, Essex, says: âI drive down to Bath regularly to see my 17-year-old twin sisters. I had to take them to school when there had been heavy snow as my parents live abroad. The car slid down a hill into an embankment and I got completely stuck.â

Fortunately mother-of-two Kirsty â" who works part-time in Blockbuster â" has a policy with Green Flag, which she took out as an add-on to her car insurance with Churchill.

âIâve had the cover for a couple of years, but this was the first time I used it,â she says. âThey came out to the car within about an hour, and it took them a further three hours to winch the car back up the hill. My car is really reliable and has never broken down, but what happened to me shows you can still run into trouble.â

Kirsty pays about Â£80 a year for her policy. There is no limit on the number of call-outs that can be made during the year and she is also covered for long-distance recovery which ensured that she and her car got back to Chelmsford.

The Lure Of The Nylon String Guitar

2010-08-30T16:13:00.000-07:00

As a fan of the electric guitar and an enthusiastic player of acoustic music, I would like to share some of the most fascinating aspects of the nylon string guitar to give you an idea of the beauty of this instrument as a stepping stone for beginner guitarists or as the subject of a lifelong devotion. Although a nylon string guitar fan can go on and on about the wonderful mellow sound and the potential for extracting new meaning from music, maybe we can focus on the more practical aspects of the nylon string acoustic like the different styles of music played on it and the advantages it can hold for an amateur or professional guitarist.

First let's talk about the types of guitars using nylon strings. Many experts say the flamenco guitar with its dry sound is more typical of what a guitar was like before the emergence of the sonorous and lyrical sound of the classical guitar which evolved in the first half of the twentieth century. The flamenco guitar has always been common in some areas of Spain, and it is simply the musical instrument used by a family or group of friends to play the local folk music. The classical guitar was developed to play the classical style compositions which became popular in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. A descendent of the classical guitar is the basic nylon string acoustic guitar you see in music stores today. It lends itself to the accompaniment of all types of songs and was made popular in the 1960's folk boom by artists like Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan and Peter, Paul And Mary. These artists captured the public's imagination with their songs and planted the sound of the nylon string guitar firmly in the realms of popular music.

The sound of the nylon string guitar is much more peaceful compared to the brighter sound of the steel string acoustic. Another major advantage of the nylon string guitar is that it provides musical accompaniment to songs without distracting attention from your vocals.

By the way - did you know that players of electric guitars or steel string acoustic instruments need to develop callouses on their left hand fingers? Nylon strings are generally a little kinder to your hands. You will find that your nylon string guitar is easy to tune and you can just pick your guitar up and play it at any time of day or night without disturbing anybody in the immediate environment. Also the wider fret board allows you to play chords and single notes without accidentally touching the wrong string.

Nylon string guitars are kinder to finger picking guitarists. Anybody can learn finger style guitar on nylon strings without running too much risk of breaking fingernails, plus you will be pleased at how your first finger picking efforts are rewarded by the more beginner-friendly tone of the nylon acoustic.

Now you have some idea of the attractive aspects of the nylon string acoustic guitar, I do hope you will find some time to devote to this beautiful and, in recent times, neglected instrument.

Private Jet Planes: The New Status Symbol

2010-08-30T16:12:00.000-07:00

Private jet planes are the new status symbol to show that you are one of the richest people in the world. Everyone seems to be buying private jets now. All of these jets are being completely gutted and redone inside and out. Not too long ago, it was a big deal for a person to own a small propeller plane with about ten seats in it. Now many very famous and rich people are buying large jumbo jets and turning them into hotels and clubs in the air. I think that the movie Soul Plane helped to shed some light on and poke some fun at this growing trend of "pimping" out private jet planes. This movie went a little overboard on the types of accessories that most people would put in their private jet plane, but it also showed some of the things that people actually do have in their private jets.

There have been many news stories about celebrities buying private jet planes for millions of dollars, and then spending two or three times more to get the planes designed and furnished exactly the way that they want them. Most of the time in these large jumbo jet planes, the seating will be completely removed, and other amenities will be put in their place. Some of the time the seating in the plane goes from three hundred to about twenty five. However the twenty five seats that are still available are usually recliners or sofas, which will make any trip much more enjoyable. Also these private jet planes usually have some sort of bedroom, maybe a bar, and sometimes even a dance floor built-in. Others have a dining table, many televisions, chandeliers, and other accessories to make the private plane feel like home.

Personally, I believe that all of this extravagance is a bit too much, but I think that people should be able to spend their money in whatever way they see fit. So if anyone out there would like to invite me to take a ride on one of these over extravagant private jet planes, I think I would not have a problem saying yes, and go along for the ride. Anyone wanna make me an offer?

When the Morning Dawns

2010-08-30T16:10:00.001-07:00

The following article covers a topic that has recently moved to center stage--at least it seems that way. If you've been thinking you need to know more about unconditional love, here's your opportunity.

When darkness turns to day, the sun moves over the horizon and touches everything in sight. This movement across the landscape brightens everything. Such an illumination awakens us all. We rise with energy moving in and through us allowing us to create a new day. A day unique from all the rest and creatively woven into our soul.

This is the landscape of our soul. As you can see, nature has a way of showing us just how powerful we are. The same power that created the moon and the stars and the movement of all space and time lies within the human heart. It is the heart of creation itself, and perhaps, the heart of our Creator.

Human beings are fortunate to be able to be aware of our awareness. This awareness gives us an opportunity to reflect on our soul and find blessing in being alive. Our consciousness of a creative force inside us guiding us into this world, through it, and eventually to our eternal home allows us to fulfill a purpose on this earth.

Such a purpose is beyond our own ability to really know. Yet, we can open our heart enough to allow our purpose to find us. This is done by recognizing that the things in life that really matter ARE the things in life that isn't matter.

Yes, it is our soul's longing to fulfill the purpose for which we came to earth for. No one really knows how a baby is conceived totally. Science and human understanding still hasn't been able to fully comprehend such a force of nature. We can only embrace what is beyond us and find a way to bring into being forces of nature such as a tiny child.

When a child is born, we are in awe. The miracle of birth creates something inside us all. It is the remembrance that life does not come from us. Instead, life comes through us. As such, we are living in a dream come true. All of us are probably living our soul's purpose more than we know, and even, can know. It is the mystery of all mysteries.

This does not explain why some of us find peace and other's find pain. But, such a philosophy will enable us all to find grace in knowing our lives create in our world facets of ourselves we all are a part of. An understanding of such grace gives every one of us a chance to find mercy and grace and the same unconditional love we came into the world with when we were born.

Agriculture Directory is an Essential Aid in Modern World

2010-08-30T16:09:00.001-07:00

An online agriculture directory is an excellent aid that can support modern day farming. These days, agriculture resembles an industrial activity, very different from the farming practices of our forefathers.

Today's cultivator needs equipment like tractors and harvesters, input materials like seeds, pesticides and weedicides, services like soil analysis and expert consultancy on different matters.

The term agriculture today includes more than cultivating the land for grains. It also means horticulture, grazing, vineyards, timber growing, dairy farming, poultry farming and fish farming, for example. Considering this wider meaning, the materials, services and information needs of the modern day agriculturist is wide-ranging.

An online directory that provides instant access to sources of supplies and information is indeed a great support facility for the agriculturist.

Topics Covered by an Agriculture Directory

The topics covered by an agriculture directory these days are wide-ranging. Extracts from the main categories of a major agriculture directory illustrates the variety:

Bees and Honey

Cattle

Horse

Insurance & Financing

Import Export

Rabbits

Barns & Structures

Arts & Crafts

Seed Companies

Equestrian Sport

Agritourism

Equipment Dealers

Government

Fencing

Sustainable Agriculture

Plant Diseases

Education

Forestry

Veterinary Medicine

Rural Sociology

The above is only a sample meant to illustrate the variety of topics relevant to agriculturists.

Basic Functions of Agriculture Directories

Serving the needs of agriculturists is a prime function of the directories. Agriculturists need seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, weedicides, tractors, harvesters, soil analysis services; best practices case histories and other inputs for their agricultural activities. They also need marketing support in the forms of information on markets, lists of marketing agencies, government support programs and so on. A good agriculture directory provides links to relevant resources for meeting these requirements.

Agriculture is not just cultivation and today's agriculture directories also include links to such resources as horse racing, farm tourism, government regulations, rural arts and crafts and so on.

Promoting the agricultural activities in a country is another objective served by national agriculture directories that focus on the suppliers in one particular country. . Exporters in the country would be supported by information about export possibilities, lists of overseas importers, details of government support programs and so on. Importers in other countries would be better able to source their requirements with the help of such regional directories

Different Kinds of Agriculture Directories

Considering the many areas covered or touched by agriculture, it offers scope for many niche directories. We look at a few and their significance below.

EQUINE WEB SITES: Includes links to horse breeders, riding stables, horse racing and such equine topic related web sites.

REGIONAL DIRECTORIES: National directories listing agricultural suppliers located in a country are quite common.

AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES: With links to universities, publications, weather, news and other resources of value to agriculturists and related businesses.

Here again, we have only touched upon the variety. If you look around, you would find a resource that caters to your particular agriculture related niche.

Conclusion

Agriculture is not confined to cultivating the land. In today's context, it includes even such apparently different activities as equine sports, farm tourism and rural arts, in addition to conventional resources like seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, tractors, harvesters, etc required by cultivators. The agriculture directory of today will also include links to resources needed by animal, poultry and fish farmers, horticulturists, forestry and other activities covered by the term agriculture.

Agriculture directory resources will also cover support activities like insurance, finance, marketing, education and news. Agriculture today is more like an industry that needs information and technology, in addition to conventional inputs outlined earlier.

Negotiating With Your Lender

2010-08-30T16:08:00.001-07:00

If the foundations of your financial world are crumbling inwardly, and the black words 'foreclosure' and 'short sale' are hanging heavy in your heart, you are not alone. 'Hope Now' and 'Project Lifeline' are newly formed organizations that may be able to help you.

Foreclosure feels like financial ruin, and even though you are out of energy, you must try everything you can to avoid it. This way, if foreclosure comes, you can at least know that it was inevitable.

Before you start down this dark track, have you tried to approach your Lender? He probably has no idea that you may be floundering. The Lender who paid for your property, be it a regular bank or a private Lender, will not want to take your house back. If there is a way for him to work out a deal with you, he may be glad of the opportunity.

The Lender does not want to take your house away; he wants to make his interest on your loan. He also knows that we now have a buyer's market, which makes it more difficult for Lenders to sell properties.

The Lender would like you to keep the property and carry on with your part of the deal - which was to make monthly payments to him. If you go into a foreclosure or sell by a short sale, the Lender stands to lose money.

Therefore, whether you are financed through a bank or a mortgage company, your first move is to make an appointment with your Lender to talk things over. Perhaps you can negotiate for some extra help.

For instance, do you think that if you were allowed to miss three months mortgage payments (and tack them onto the end of the amortization period), then you would be able to keep up the current payments? Sometimes just being in arrears is a vicious circle and if once caught up to date, is easier to manage.

In some cases, the Lender may offer to help you to re-finance your mortgage, and make the payments smaller for a time. There is also a government backed organization out there that is offering to help people on the verge of foreclosure. One of their conditions is that you must contact them before the procedure begins; they are found on line at 'HopeNow.com'.

You can also get in touch with 'Project Lifeline', a newly developed helping agency. They are proving effective in staving off foreclosures for all types of mortgages including sub prime, equity and second liens. They can help almost anyone, other than home owners with a foreclosure coming up before mid-March.

One of their strategies is to 'pause' everything while they investigate your own personal scenario. If you do not know how to contact them using the Internet, ask your local librarian to help you.

Your Lender may be willing to help you to apply to these organizations for help; he may know the procedures better than you. Refinanced mortgages with fixed rates are available now for homeowners struggling with sub-prime mortgages.

At the moment HopeNow is looking at the most serious cases, as its mandate is to avoid as many foreclosures as possible. This will be an ongoing process because many mortgage holders could face even more increases in their mortgages in the next two years.

This means that when you write to them, you need to state your case clearly, and do not feel shy about writing out your worst financial problems and the amount of money that you will lose, and how many children you have that will be homeless.

In some cases the help from HopeNow can come in the form of an interest rate freeze, rather than a complete change in mortgage plan, but this freeze will serve to tide mortgage holders over until they can re-finance without the panic of foreclosure over their heads.

HopeNow has been created by lenders in the mortgage services field who represent 90% of the sub prime market. There are at least 2 milllion sub prime mortgage holders. This outreach program often contacts lenders before they get to foreclosures and offers to help them. Visit their web site.

This help is a blessing for the nation as well as the individual people in distress; once the foreclosure problem is faced and dealt with by a system that has government backing, the property market will not have a glut and prices will be re-established and sales will continue at a more normal pace.

If you feel that foreclosure is inevitable, then think about negotiating for a short sale. This will at least save your credit rating. Not all Lenders will agree to it and not all properties qualify for it. It also leaves you with a tax bill, but that is not an immediate concern.

You will need to send a hardship letter to the Lender, or more specifically, the person who can make the decision. Do not hold back on this letter. You also need to send a list of assets and proof of income. The list must show that you have no money, savings or anything that can be liquidated.

If this list of assets indicates that you 'stretched the truth' when applying for the mortgage, you will have to be extra humble! Remember, this Lender is going to lose his money too; you need him to be on your side, so try to understand his point of view.

You also need a current market evaluation from your real estate agent. If you have an interested buyer - that is even better. However, there is lots of negotiation involved with short sales, even if initially agreed upon, and both sides must have endless patience. Only tread this path if you cannot get help from either 'HopeNow' or 'Project Lifeline'.

Cheapest Car Insurance

2010-03-09T07:40:00.004-08:00

Everybody wants cheapest car insurance that they can find, but most have no idea how to find it. The cheapest policy is easy to get, since every company will offer a discount in order to make you feel that you are getting a good deal, but that is not the same as car cheapest insurance.

First you must work out a strategy to work to. You must not get up in the morning, realize that your policy is due for renewal and then phone up and renew it. Nor, if you are buying a new (to you) car, should you just tell your current ins company that you have changed cars and want the policy transferred. Both of these are what most people do, and that is why most people pay more cars ins., than they have to.

So, what is the best way to get a genuine low cost car insurance? It won't be just given to you, so you have to do your homework. The first step is to find out the regular cheap car insurance quote. A lot depends on what type of policy you need, and you should first make a list of what you MUST have included, and then the rest is negotiable for a car cheapest insurance rate.

The 'musts' depend a lot on the age and value of your car. Uninsured driver's cover might not be necessary, especially if your car is of low value and you already have health insurance. You might not need collision or comprehensive cover if your car is worth $2,000 or less. However, you must get cheap car insurance. You might also have to have automobiles cover for your wife and kids to drive the car. You might have to have all the above cover if you own an expensive autos purchase.

Perhaps gap insurance is necessary it applies if you still owe a finance company for your car, but the insurance company assesses it as being worth less than the difference between what you still owe and what they would pay out in the event of a total write off or theft. Some company insist on it.

Once you have your 'musts' then the rest is negotiable. You can then offer the negotiable options in exchange for reduced prices. Don't offer them all at once or the insurers will be rubbing their hands. They will give you the discounts, but you have to extract them since, while your priority is to get the best discount you can, theirs is to get the price they can for themselves. There is nothing wrong with that, but they will win unless you know what you are doing.

There is an argument that if everybody had cheapest possible coverage, then ins policy prices would have to increase. They are probably right, but let's not worry about that while there are still people out there willing to pay top dollar for average cover and autos assurance. There are many such people, but you don't want to be one of them.

You can get a good deal after negotiation that will provide with a high level of cover, but you must make sure that you are dealing with a reputable company. The best thing to do is to type in the company name followed by 'complaints'; for example 'Cheapo Auto complaints'. You will then find the problems that others have had with the company.

You will find complaints and problems associated with just about all companies - it goes with the territory - so you have to make a comparison of the volume of complaints between companies. Compare cheap car insurance online and car cheap insurance quote.

However, if you do it right and follow the above advice, then you should be able to secure cheapest car insurance to suit your needs. Don't pay over the odds - it is not necessary.

Many states have outlawed the use of cell phones while driving. It is more common than not for it to be illegal to answer or talk on your cell phone while you are operating a vehicle.
