10 Steps to Buying auto Insurance
Step 1: Starting Out
When it comes to auto insurance, you want to be properly covered if you get in an accident but you don’t want to pay any more than you have to. So how can you voyage your way through this murky subject?
Keep telling yourself there is money to be saved. How much? Hundreds, even thousands, per year. For example, one of our editors typed all of his insurance information into a comparative insurance service. The quotes (for very basic coverage on two old cars) ranged from $ 1,006 to $ 1,807 ? a difference of $ 801 a year. If you’re currently dumping thousands into your insurance company’s coffers because of a couple of tickets, an accident or a suspicious credit rating, shopping your policy against others may be well worth the effort.
Look at it this way ? you can turn the money you save into the purchase of something you’ve desired for a long time. Hold that goal in your mind.
Step 2: How Much Coverage Do You Need?
To find the right auto insurance, start by calculating out the amount of coverage you need. This varies from state to state. So take a moment to find out what coverage is required where you live.
Now that you know what is required, you can decide what you need in addition. Some people are quite deliberate. They base their lives on worst-case scenarios. Insurance companies adore these people. That’s because insurance companies know what your chances are of being in an accident, and how most likely it is for your car to be damaged or stolen. The information the insurance company has collected over past decades is crunched into “actuarial tables” that give insurance adjusters a quick look at the probability of just about any incidence.
So how much insurance should you buy beyond your state’s minimum?
Experts advise that if you have a lot of assets you should get enough liability coverage to protect them. For instance, if you purchase $ 50,000 of bodily injury liability coverage but have $ 100,000 in assets, attorneys could go after your treasures in the event of an accident in which you’re at fault and the other party’s medical bills exceed $ 50,000.
General recommendations for liability limits are $ 50,000 bodily injury liability for one person injured in an accident, $ 100,000 for all people injured in an accident and $ 25,000 property damage liability (that is, 50/100/25) given that half of the autos on the road are worth more than $ 20,000. Here again, though, let your financial situation be your guide. If you have no assets, don’t buy excess coverage.
Another issue to consider is that the limits of any uninsured and/or underinsured motorist coverage that you purchase cannot exceed the limits of your liability coverage. Such coverage, he said, can be valuable, as it will cover lost income if you’re out of work for several months after being injured in a major accident.
Your driving habits may also be a factor. If your past is filled with crumpled fenders, if you have a lead foot or a long commute on a treacherous winding road, then you should get more comprehensive coverage. Keep in mind that you don’t have to buy collision and comprehensive coverage. If your vehicle is older, if you have a good driving record and if there is a low likelihood that it would be totaled in an accident, but a high likelihood of it being stolen, you could buy comprehensive but not collision.
Step 3: Review Your Driving Record and Current Insurance Policy
Before you begin shopping for insurance you should check the following: the status of your driving record, your current coverage and the premiums you are paying.
You should know how many tickets you have had just recently. But time plays tricks and our memories suppress painful incidents. If you can’t remember how long that speeding ticket has been on your record, check with your state’s DMV. If your record will soon improve, and the points you earned will finally disappear, wait until that happens before you get quotes. Nothing drives up the price of insurance like a terrible driving record.
Also, you should contact your auto insurance company or pull out a recent bill. Jot down the amount of coverage you have and what you are paying for it. Take note of the yearly and monthly cost of your insurance since many of your quotes will be given both ways. Now you have a figure in mind to try to conquer.
Step 4: Solicit Competitive Quotes
Now that you have made several practical and level-headed decisions, it’s time to start shopping. Begin by setting aside about an hour for this task. Bring all your records ? your current insurance policy, your driver license number and your vehicle registration. Drink plenty of coffee. Have a phone at your elbow. And, of course, power up your computer.
Begin with the online services.These forms take about 15 minutes to complete. If this bores you, just remind yourself how much you will be saving and that you can use the money to buy something nice for yourself. If the entire shopping process takes you two hours to complete and you save $ 800, you’re effectively earning $ 400 an hour.
A few things to keep in mind: 1) When you use quote sites, you may not get instant quotes. Some companies may contact you later by e-mail, and some that are local agents at some time in the future 2) It’s not easy to get quotes from these sites in all states ? if you live in New Jersey, for instance, you’ll probably find it faster to pick up the phone, since most insurers in this state currently don’t provide online quotes.
Step 5: Record and Compare Quotes
While you’re researching companies, make notes in a separate computer file or on a piece of paper divided into categories. This will keep you from duplicating your efforts. When you visit the different online insurance sites, you should take note of several things:
•Annual and monthly rates for the different types of coverage ? make sure to keep the coverage limits the same so that you can make “apples-to-apples” comparisons
•An local number to call for questions you can’t get answered online
•The insurance company’s payment policy (When is your payment due? What happens if you’re late in making a payment?)
•Discounts offered by the insurance company that pertain to you
•The insurance company’s consumer complaint ratio from your state’s department of insurance Web site (more on this later)
•The insurance company’s A.M. Best and Standard & Poor’s ratings (more on this later)
Step 6: Work the Phones
Once you have exhausted your online options, it’s time to work the phones. Those companies you haven’t been able to get an online quote from should be contacted. At times, doing this process verbally can actually go faster than the online counterpart, providing you have all the information regarding your driver license and vehicle registration close at hand. When you get a quote, be sure to confirm the price. Also, ask them to fax or e-mail the quote to you as a record.
Step 7: Look for Discounts
While talking to the insurance companies’ telephone salespeople, make sure you explore all options relating to discounts. Insurance companies give discounts for a good driving record, favorable credit score, safety equipment (for example, antilock brakes), certain occupations or professional affiliations and more.
Step 8: Choosing the Right Insurance Company
You now have most of the information in front of you that you need to make a decision. However, there is something more to consider. You can clearly see which company is least expensive, but when you need them to cover a claim, what kind of job will they do? To put it another way, which is the most reliable insurance company?
1.Retain your right to sue. “Find out if you are giving up your right to go to court and will be forced into arbitration if there is a disagreement [between you and the insurance company],” one expert advised. “You’re much better off if you don’t give up this right…. It makes it easier for [insurers] to take advantage of you.” If you find a clause to this effect, all isn’t necessarily lost. “At least in theory, a contract is a mutual agreement, so you should be able to cross out that line in the policy,” he said. If the company won’t agree to the policy sans clause, then you should probably take your business elsewhere.
2.Avoid aftermarket parts requirements. If an insurance company has written in the policy that “new factory,” “like kind and quality” or “aftermarket parts” may be used for body shop repairs, go to another company, one expert advised. If you own a relatively new car that you plan to keep for a while, you will probably be much happier if you spend a little more time researching companies on the front end rather than try to fight the company when you have a claim.
Step 10: Cancel Your Old Policy
After you lock in the insurance policy you want with the company you select, you have two more things to do. The first is to cancel coverage with your existing insurance company. Second, if your state requires you to carry proof of insurance, make sure you either have it in your wallet or the glove compartment of your car (some experts discourage this, however ? if your car is stolen, the thief has everything he needs to prove the vehicle is his).
Now, there’s one last thing to do: reward yourself for saving so much money on car insurance.
Checklist
•Determine your state’s insurance requirements.
•Consider your own financial situation in relation to the required insurance and consider buying more to protect your assets.
•Review the status of your driving record ? do you have any outstanding tickets or points on your driver license?
•Check your current coverage to find out how much in premiums you are paying.
•Get competing quotes from the Internet
•Make follow-up phone calls to insurance companies to get additional information about coverage.
•Inquire about discounts you might qualify for such as a multiple policy discount.
•Evaluate the reliability of the insurance company you’re considering by visiting your state’s insurance Web site.
•If you have chosen a new insurance company, remember to cancel your old policy.

Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked- Red Dead Redemption
Song is Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked by Cage The Elephant..
Lyrics:I was walking down the street,
When out the corner of my eye
I saw a pretty little thing approaching me.
She said “I’ve never seen a man
Who looks so all alone,
Could you use a little company?
If you can pay the right price
Your evening will be nice,
And you can go and send me on my way.”
I said “You’re such a sweet young thing
Why you do this to yourself?”
She looked at me and this is what she said:
“Oh, there ain’t no rest for the wicked,
Money don’t grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain’t nothing in this world for free.
I know I can’t slow down,
I can’t hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain’t no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good”.
Not even fifteen minutes later
I’m still walking down the street,
When I saw a shadow of a man creep out of sight.
And then he sweeps up from behind
And puts a gun up to my head,
He made it clear he wasn’t looking for a fight.
He said “Give me all you’ve got
I want your money not your life,
But if you try to make a move I won’t think twice.”
I go like “You can have my cash
But first you know I got to ask
What made you want to live this kind of life?”
He said “There ain’t no rest for the wicked,
Money don’t grow on trees.
I got bills to pay,
I got mouths to feed,
There ain’t nothing in this world for free.
I know I can’t slow down,
I can’t hold back,
Though you know, I wish I could.
No there ain’t no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good”.
Now a couple hours have passed
And I was sitting at my house,
The day was winding down and coming to an end.
So I turned on the TV
And flipped it over to the news,
And what I saw I almost couldn’t comprehend.
I saw a preacher man in cuffs he’d taken money from the church,
He stuffed his bank account with righteous dollar bills.
But even still I can’t say much
Because I know we’re all the same,
oh yes we all seek out to satisfy those thrills
“Oh, there ain’t no rest for the wicked,
Money don’t grow on trees.
We got bills to pay,
We got mouths to feed,
There ain’t nothing in this world for free.
I know we can’t slow down,
We can’t hold back,
Though you know, we wish we could.
No there ain’t no rest for the wicked,
Until we close our eyes for good”

Lion Attack
The lion man enters a cage with big male lions.
This is a very dangerous activity. Joe has reared the lion from a baby and it knows him.
Also shows lion and tiger attacks. They can instantly attack. Entering a lion cage takes bravery.
**** The Lion (Panthera leo) is one of the four big cats and a member of the family Felidae. Some males can exceed 550 lb. Wild lions exist in Sub-Saharan Africa and a critically endangered remnant population lives in northwest India. Until about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. Visually, the male lion is distinctive and is easily recognized by its mane. The face of the male, is one of the most widely recognized animal symbols in human culture as is its roar.
**** White Lion The total number of white lions is unknown but the most recent count, in 2004, showed that only 30 were alive. White lions are Endangered. The one shown is one of Siegfried and Roys White Lions of Timbavati. Of only 30 white lions in the world, around seven are found in Ohio and this one is at the Cincinnati Zoo.
*** The wildebeest, or gnu, can grow to 4 ft 10 in at the shoulder and weigh 265600 lb. They inhabit the plains and woodlands of Africa, especially the Serengeti National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Tanzania, and Masai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya. Wildebeest can live more than 20 years.
Three cubs were born September 22 to the lions, shown, in the Columbus Zoo. They were the first litter for mother, Asali, and father, Tomo. They are the first born at the Columbus Zoo in 24 years. The Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Plan (SSP) for African lions recommended this mating.
Only 349 African lions exist in 98 North American institutions. The Columbus Zoo lions are one of only 31 pairs of pedigreed lions recommended for breeding by SSP. Africa lions recently are a global issue because populations have plummeted by around 50% in around 20 years.
The Exotic Feline Rescue Center (EFRC) in western Indiana rescues big cats and gives them a home for life.
They have 210 exotic felines and are one of the largest rescue centers in the United States for abused, unwanted and neglected exotic felines. They are the largest center open to the public. The cats are well cared for.
They have tigers lions leopards cougars bobcats ocelots servals lynx Asian leopard cat and a tigon. You can spend the night next to some of the cats and hear coyotes, turkeys, and deer.

SKETCHES OF PAIN 3/6or7, Set Up (Rupert Hine), Cover Jörgchen, LowFi
Jazz and Poetry. It’s all about the poetry of Jeannette Obstoj who writes the bulk of lyrics for Rupert Hine. There is quite a story to this, further down.
LYRICS:
Set up – set up for the sake of a comfortable home
Too young – too young to take control
Mother’s little weapon for when Father broke the rules
He never wanted her or me
He just wanted to be free
There’s a risk and a twist
And all this from the girl you missed by minutes
On the day you were hit
Set up – every opportunity to make me like them
Set up – born into a world where I had no control
One set up leads to another
Too set up to lie to each other
And it’s all been a frame
I’ve got to change my appearance
And get rid of their name
They did it with mirrors
They did it without pain
I was set up and held up and stuffed in a cage
Don’t get up and say it was some other mother
I’m sure enough it was you that planted me
Is there anyone out there
Who can change this atmosphere
Set up – every opportunity to make me like them
Set up – born into a world where I had no control
One set up leads to another
Too set up to lie to each other
They did it with kindness
They did it with a smile
They did it all with I licence
They did it according to the rules
They did it with good advice
They did it for some reason
They did it
Well they tried
I found the instrumental jazz-cd on a fleamarket. I was convinced I found a trace of my old best friend from school. Name, provenience, looks (15 years later) and some other hints were evident. He was learning the guitar every day, back then, wanting to become a musician soooo bad. I was all excited and determined to make contact again. BUT I wanted to surprise him. I had this old wish of me, to reanimate (phantasies….) the Jazz and Poetry genre from the 60ies. Just this time not to deliver musical versions of poems, but more to bring “down” songlyrics back to the poetry level. (Still I think this is a great idea. for a niche).
Anyway, on my way home I bought a microphone for 9.90. I plugged it in my mother’s carriable cassette(!)-recorder from the 60ies, reporter model, because it would overdub, i guess as an production error. I listened to the jazz cd noting roughly where I would have how much time to add words while I copied to an musiccassette. Then went for it. I used what I found for effects. Cardboardboxes, bathtub, wollen sheets…
I wanted to improvise and set myself under pressure. So all the takes are take one always with one eye on the cd-player counting the time left. The result is defintively sketchy and was meant to be that way, thinking me and my buddy could maybe redo the thing. All 7 songs were recorded in one afternoon. It’s not really what I had in mind with Jazz and Poetry because I thought of a different kind of Jazz. But it’s getting there.
I had the tape. Phoned my buddy. Met my buddy and played the cassette to him, waiting for the surprise on his face. What I saw was utter disbelief as he is into hardrock and heavymetal, really. I felt looked at like if i was an alien materializing in his living room. He had NOTHING to do with this music. That was a totally different guy with the same name as him. In fact, he, my buddy, gave UP his musical carreer after 20 years of practizing the guitar daily and studying music in university after hid dead grandmother with a giant glowing cross behind her told him in a dream to become a healer. So he hung the guitar on the wall and became a healer !! !!!? !!
Today I had a telephone conversation with the REAL musician of the same name as the HEALER (couldn’t heal ME!) explaining that I would like to ruin his work in public. I mean, he is a real professional musician (orchestra and shit) and I’m a bloody amateur croaking over his fine jazz. THAT is the point were I have respect for the respective owner of the copyright. If HE said: No, I don’t want that, you are ruining the piece i would naturally still do it. But not go public. He was very nice (and sends me another cd) and said: “Isch mer Wurscht! Nu mache!” which translates “I don’t care, just go ahead”.
The Noises are extreme. The friend who digitalized it for me tried to fight it and gave me opportunity to add a little extra-hall now and then.

WCA Inaugural Fight video promoNew Cage- emin's pouched rat
This was Matisse's new cage, a two level ferret nation. I think he enjoyed it much better than the midwest ferret playpen. We always played a bit rough, and it shows better in this video of him..
The emin's rat is related to the gambian pouched rat. They're slightly smaller and sleeker in appearance. They have a longer snout, a clear line of demarcation from their whiteish belly and brown upper body, and their fur is slick looking. The gambian has a stocky build, is uniform grey colored, has a shorter snout, and a "rougher" looking coat.
Please fight the good fight and make pouched rats LEGAL PETS AGAIN IN THE USA! They are very much love…
RIP Matisse 6/07 – 7/26/07

Who are the EMTs
You’ll find them at Denny’s. At least I always do. Denny’s, Coco’s, Perkin’s; any all-night restaurant, always between the hours of three in the morning and sunrise. Too tired to work, too wound up to go home and sleep just yet, so they head into an all-night joint and order coffee and talk. They’ll talk to anybody. They just got off a sixteen-hour shift and their head is full of stories. They have to tell them to you so they can put the scenes behind them. The scenes are funny and scary at the same time, the things they’ve just witnessed, and they flash through a range of emotion until they are purged. Then they can stumble home and go to sleep. You, on the other hand, will stay up a couple of hours later.
Somewhere in the realm of society, located just between the sensibility of the normal and the pandemonium of the perverse, there is a group of people whose training and actions often make the difference between life and death, and whose nerves are the violin strings on which the streets play their drama. They are the Emergency Medical Technicians. You should listen to their stories. They end up with more wisdom than they know what to do with.
Outside of the all-night restaurant, you will find them located in various positions in your cities, readied to respond to the next possible disaster which could occur. May be a car accident; may be a heart attack. Readied to respond to a school shooting or a downed plane, they’ll be hindered only by the natural obstacles of daily traffic.
No other group of humanity can carry so many items in their pockets which are strategically located in optimal positions of the body. There’s scissors, band aids, tape, chap stick, combs or essential lifesaving and sustaining items. But not much money. No expensive watches. If they did it for the money, they would do something else.
With an overwhelming desire and a keen instinct to sustain the flame of life from the last flicker of a spark which is near spent, this special group of individuals cope with variables which few people could ever tolerate. EMTs do not panic. They wouldn’t dare. When things go right, the public loves them, the newspapers ignore them and the many lives that have been lost fighting to save a stranger may rate an article on page twelve or so. But if they were in it for the fame, they would be doing something else.
Then the bill arrives, and the very patient they saved tells their friends and family hear how terrible the 500.00 bill was, instead of the efforts that saved their life or a family member’s. As Emergency Medical Technicians does not generally receive tax dollars such as police and fire agencies. Not in the United States, anyway. But if they couldn’t take criticism, they wouldn’t be in this job, for when they make a mistake they will be their own harshest critic.
These men and women who make up the breed of EMTs come from all walks of life, and rarely stand on common ground with you until they meet you as a result of violence, accidents, and medical emergencies on the streets. Housing developments and office buildings all blur together in their eyes; it’s just one big street. Then when you meet one, all seems to come together with you in need of their training, their lifesaving skills and their emotional support.
You are having the most panicked ten minutes of your life, and they are having their tenth call on just another day. EMT personnel lean on each other for support and understanding in sharing horrible calls that creates a flurry of emotions. Sometimes they hang out in pairs in the coffee shop, but even in packs they’ll still talk to you. They find talking to anybody who isn’t bleeding or screaming to be quite relaxing.
They are the people who crawl into a twisted steel cage which once was a car, to search for signs of life amongst its occupants and treat them while fuel leaks endanger their own lives. They ask what hurts and can you move They are the calm voice on the other end of the telephone when it seems as though your world is crashing around you and your family.
They are the individuals who are the last to win the respect of the public. Despite their advanced medical training and certification they are called “ambulance drivers”. They are the first to be brought to court for decisions and actions that were made on the spur of the moment in environments of absolute chaos. It was dark, sirens were everywhere, somebody was screaming, somebody was bleeding and had bone sticking out, there was a gun, the police officer lost it and screamed at them because he was scared senseless. But in the end they’re cleared after thousands of dollars of defense money when their decisions are backed up as appropriate.
They are individuals who carry no weapons and are attacked frequently, yelled at and spat on. People who are drugged or just crazy to start with. Suicide attempts fighting for their right to die. Meth addicts who fight with the strength of a mammoth. Drunks looking to show their macho off, even after the beer bottle cut their scalp. The homeless schizophrenic who thinks the mafia is after him.
They have to be brave. They have to be strong. They have to be smart and decisive. Even when they are relaxed, a hundred learned reflexes are waiting under the surface, ready to spring into a Heimlich maneuver if you choke on that next bite of steak or the CPR cycle should you suddenly clutch your chest.
But most of all, they have to relate. To each other or to anybody, they have things they’ve seen that they have to tell just so they don’t feel so crazy with it bottled in their head. But then, they took this job because… well, no one can explain why anyone would want this job. But they took it partly because they’re not afraid to live out loud.
