Can You Save Money By Changing Car Insurance Companies ...

When you first took out your car insurance policy, chances are you did a lot of shopping around before you finally settled on the company with whom you currently have coverage. Since you spent all that time and effort trying to track down the best rate, you might think that there are no other companies out there who could save you money.

That may or may not be the case, but you will never know unless you take the time to shop around and compare the coverage options of different car insurance companies. After all, car insurance rates change all the time, and the company that offered you the best rates in the past may no longer be the lowest cost provider.

Every car insurance company uses a different set of criteria to determine its premium rates, and it is important to choose a company that bases its rates on criteria that will be favorable to you. For instance, many car insurance companies base their premiums in part on your credit score. If you have had credit problems in the past, you would not want to choose such a company. You would instead want to choose a company that bases its premium rates solely on how well you drive.

Shop Online and Save

One impediment to shopping for car insurance has always been the time and effort involved. When you receive a mailing from an insurance company, it typically includes a lengthy questionnaire about the cars you own, the drivers in the household, your driving record and the level of coverage you are looking for. It can easily take an hour or more just to fill out the questionnaire, and even more time to review the coverage offers you receive back from the company.

But there is a better, and a faster, way to get the coverage you need and compare rates across the entire universe of car insurance providers. When you use the Internet, you can get back dozens of quotes using the same time and effort it would have taken to get just one quote on your own. You can, for instance, use an online car insurance comparison tool to get offers from many different car insurance companies.

When you use an online comparison tool, you can enter your information just once, and when you hit submit that information goes to all the companies the site works with. Each company then evaluates the information you have provided and provides a comprehensive quote based solely on your needs.

You can then review those quotes and offers at your leisure and choose the firms that offer the best combination of low premium prices and top-notch service. No matter what type of car insurance you currently have, you owe it to yourself and your family to constantly look for better rates. After all, every dollar you save is one more dollar you can spend on your family.

Hormone Therapy Options for Menopause

Menopause, according to the Mayo Clinic, is the permanent end of menstruation and fertility, defined as occurring 12 months after your last menstrual period. There are many women whose menopausal symptoms are so severe that they interfere with their daily activities. To help women manage their symptoms some women choose to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).

HRT continues to be an area of interest for women that are having symptoms related to their transition. The advantages of hormone therapy can provide protection against heart disease, osteoporosis, and colorectal cancer in certain patients. The risks of taking hormone therapy are increase risk of heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, blood blots and increase of false positives on mammograms.

Because of the 2002 landmark nurses study on women and menopause, many women began to have concerns about when to take hormone therapy (HT). The recommendations for hormone therapy generally are to take the lowest dosage of the therapy for the shortest duration to help with symptoms. Hot flashes are usually the symptoms that are best corrected. Estrogen-only therapy is the gold standard for treatment.

The Analysis Group, Inc., conducted a study of over 54,000 women in Canada and found that women that used hormone therapy using a patch had lower risk of blood clots in their legs or lungs than those that took oral hormone therapy. The reason given for the better tolerance for the patch is the administration process into the body. Since lung clots can be fatal any reduction in the risk factor for blood clots is a good health benefit.

As a naturopathic physician I am obligated to include all of the options related to improve the menopausal symptoms for my patients. When I work to restore a women?s balance during menopause I always include recommendations on dietary support, additional nutritional support, weight loss (if needed), exercise and stress management. Finally I talk about hormone therapy support if needed or wanted by the patient. I will now include the option to use patches instead of oral including the reduction of blood clots as an advantage for the patch.

Perky-Pet? Squirrel-Be-Gone? II Home Style Wild Bird Feeder
This innovative squirrel proof feeder keeps squirrels from raiding the bird seed. The home style appearance of this delightful feeder will attract birds - and birdwatchers, too!!

The Perky-Pet? Squirrel-Be-Gone? II wild bird feeder features a weight activated perch bar that closes to prevent squirrels from accessing the seed supply. Adjustable springs can be calibrated to accommodate different birds sizes and keep away nuisance birds as well as squirrels.

This Squirrel-Be-Gone? feeder comes in a classic home style design with all metal construction and a removable roof peak for easy filling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The kiddos know what the Perky-Pets boxes look like now and they get so excited to reviel the new bird feeder for the month!
The Squirrel be is a large Country style house bird feeder. The rooster on the top opens so that you can add the feed. This bird feeder would not hang from any of our trees because of the size and weight.?We had to nail 2 pieces of 2X4's together to make an L shape stand for the bird feeder. The kids run out there every day to see how much seed has been eaten. They also like watching from the window to see which birds come by.

This is the cutest bird feeder I have ever seen!

I luv the lever that closes when a squirrel steps on it.

The first bird feeder i got to review is a haven for squirrels.

Its funny watching the squirrels scooping the seed but the seed is for the birds not them.?

With the Squirrel be Gone the squirrels are not getting any seed out:)

That leaves more for the birds! ~ Yippie!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have seen lots of Blue Jays and Woodpeckers in our local area since the feeder has gone up.

disclosure~ I received the squirrel Be Gone from Perky pets in sxchage for this review. all opionions are all my own.

Remembering John Belushi 30 years after death

Universal Studios

Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi in 1980's "The Blues Brothers."

By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper

Thirty years ago, on March 5, 1982, comic John Belushi was found dead in the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. His death would spark months of tabloid headlines and?introduce many to the word "speedball," meaning a combination of cocaine and heroin. Catherine Evelyn Smith, the?woman who was with him that night and injected the drugs that led to his death,?would serve prison time for involuntary manslaughter.

In later years, Chris Farley would be?compared to the comic, and?Farley's 1997 death also came far too early. And there will always be actors, especially comedians, who push things so far?both onstage and in their lives that they become famous verging on infamous for life on the edge. But few can outshine Belushi's legacy as the hard-partying comedian whose light burned bright and fast and then was snuffed?out.

First-ever 'SNL' skit
Fittingly, Belushi starred in the very first sketch ever shown on "Saturday Night Live" when the show debuted in 1975, playing a student learning English who copies not just his language teacher's words, but mimics his heart attack as well. He'd go on to play the famed Samurai, the "cheeseburger, cheeseburger!" cook, a Conehead, Widette, Joe Cocker?and more, but here's where it all began.

?

'Animal House' zit scene
One of Belushi's best-known roles was that of Bluto in 1978's "Animal House." Bluto held nothing back, had a GPA of 0.0, and would eventually become a U.S. Senator. He stole the film whenever he was on screen, but the pure gross-out value of the "I'm a zit!" scene is unforgettable.

?

'Blues Brothers' performing 'Soul Man'
Sure, there's Bluto in a mustard-smeared toga, or the Samurai raising his katana, but the most iconic image of Belushi may be?of him wearing?sunglasses and a dark suit, arm slung over the shoulder of co-star Dan Aykroyd, in "The Blues Brothers." Whether?you prefer the film or the many songs the duo performed as Jake and Elwood, the whole concept?is a classic. Here they are performing "Soul Man" on "SNL."

How do you best remember Belushi? What was his best role? Tell us on Facebook.?
