Ben Roethlisberger was

Ben Roethlisberger was 6-for-7 in the opening touchdown drive. Although this is uncharacteristic of a typical Bill Cowher team, it was genius.

The Colts had a week off and rested too much at the back end of the season. Bill Cowher had been in these situations with his teams in the past and new that the Colts defense would be soft and rusty in the beginning. He also knew that with his past tendencies to dedicate too much to the run, the Colts would defend the Steelers rushing attack early. He caught them off guard and the Colts were playing catch up ever since.

Bill Cowher was genius in this game but we will have to see their performance against the Denver Broncos to see how they come out attacking. In the end, without Ben Roethlisberger being the big gamer he is, Bill Cowher would not be looking so genius.

Fraud sends insurance premiums soaring

Fraud sends insurance premiums soaring

0 Comments | Western Morning News, The, Jul 23, 2010

Fraud is causing car insurance premiums to rise at their fastest rate for years. Premiums rocketed by at least 11.5 per cent in the last three months — the biggest increase since the AA started tracking insurance trends 16 years ago.

Policies sold through price comparison sites rose even more – by 12.7 per cent – while third party, fire and theft (TPFT) cover bought on these sites rose 17.1 per cent, AA Insurance said.

The “shoparound” index, based on the average of the cheapest three quotes, indicated that comprehensive cover went up 11.5 per cent to just under Pounds 704 in the last three months, with TPFT rising 15.9 per cent to just under Pounds 964.

Taking all the methods together, comprehensive cover rose 12.1 per cent to Pounds 980 while TPFT went up 15.8 per cent to Pounds 1,225.

AA president Edmund King said: “Recent figures suggest crime levels are falling but crucially they miss a new 21st-century wave of fraud, such as providing false information and claiming for non- existent personal injuries, which just isn’t being picked up.

“It’s now much easier to get an insurance quote online, for example, comparison sites can enable dishonest individuals to manipulate information to get a lower premium.

“Insurers are increasingly charging higher prices to these people to cover the increased fraud risk.

“This quarter’s increase comes on top of previous record rises. For those shopping on comparison sites, average premiums have climbed by 32.8 per cent – or Pounds 193 – in just nine months.”

When using SEO without the paid

When using SEO without
the paid submission choices, the process is the same but the
optimized pages take longer to be processed into the search
engine databases.

Organic SEO

Organic SEO works differently. The best reason to use
organic SEO is that it is a low-cost method to promote your
website. It can take up to three to six months to see the
full results of optimizing your website, especially if you
are only using organic optimization. The plus to an organic
approach is that once you optimize your pages, the main part
of the work is done. You may tweak your keywords and text
here and there, but unless you completely re-design your
pages, you have what you need in place to begin drawing in
targeted traffic. Continue checking your ranking status and
reading your log statistics, especially for new keywords
visitors are using to find your website.

When using free submissions, expect a three to six month
wait before seeing most of the long term results showing in
the search engine listings.

Signing away homes and property

The big tax-and-spenders who hate California’s Proposition 13 that we, including Howard Jarvis and Paul Gann, worked so hard to achieve have figured out a way to undo everything that we have achieved to limit our property taxes and our two-thirds majority safety net needed to raise our taxes!

Because, we have limited what the legislature and a simple majority of voters can do to us, they have come up with the idea of having a “California Constitutional Convention,” a statewide constitutional convention that would rewrite our state’s constitution !

By doing this, their delegates will be able to throw out any and all articles or amendments that they want to remove, such as Proposition 13 and the two-thirds rule that we have enjoyed for all of these years!

It has also been suggested that “We, the People,” (voters) no longer elect our state treasurer or our state’s controller by having these financial officers appointed instead of being elected!

Another bad idea is to have a unicameral legislature instead of continuing with our bicameral one. With only one house, bad bills can fly through much faster and with less opposition!

It is also unclear just how far this Constitutional Convention can go! What else can some very radical and uncontrolled delegates (who can change our state government) do to us?

Therefore, the United Organization of Taxpayers recommends that all of our members and friends refuse to sign any initiative that calls for a constitutional convention!

It will be a lot cheaper and easier to have such an initiative fail to qualify on our ballot than to fight it after it gets on the ballot and then have to organize and finance an expensive campaign to defeat it!

Let charity begin at home

I REFER to your report “Mother of 7 needs financial help” (NST, March 12) on the plight of a single mother in Sungai Bakau, Penang, who has a heart problem and is facing tremendous financial difficulties.

Although she gets some financial aid from the Social Welfare Department and a corporate leader, that is not enough because she has to spend most of the money on her medical ailment.

She has a daughter who is being treated for hypertension and renal impairment. The mother is appealing for financial aid to help her sick daughter seek medical treatment and to help the other children with their living and schooling expenses.

The NST should be applauded for highlighting the plight of families, especially single mothers, living in poverty. It is only through their revelation that good Samaritans are able to offer assistance

summer perfumes. There are many limited editions of staple scents released for the summer time, and what differentiates them from the originals is that they usually contain lighter notes associated with warmer weather. Fragrance fans may mistakenly think these short-term scents are diluted, but they are in fact a different blend of ingredients. Just as we change our wardrobe to suit the temperatures outside, summer scents are developed to lift the wearer and quite often contain fresher florals, citruses and aqua elements than the original, deeper scent.

insider news true style never goes out of fashion, so why should age be a factor in how women dress or apply make-up? Age is a number, and trends are there to be personalised and adapted, not slavishly followed without a notion of whether it suits or not: that’s a recipe for a fashion disaster! Which is why my attention was caught this week by an interesting website that is trying to smash conventions on everything from beauty and fashion to health and fitness for more mature women. Full of all sorts of tips and suggestions geared towards creating a more beautiful you, www.60andsensational.co.uk is well worth checking out. Even if you are not quite at that milestone just yet, you’ll be surprised at what you might learn!

According to leading Irish make-up artist Derrick Carberry, we can all carry off a coral: ‘There are a few ways to wear coral regardless of your hair colour, especially at this time of the year when you want to inject summer colour into your make-up look. For example, try coral as eye liner — press shadow along the lash line, extending out slightly with an angled brush for a winged effect. Or try a coral shade instead of blush on the apples of your cheeks

Concentrate on trying

Concentrate on trying to make a meaningful conversation with your old aunt. Suggest a walk after lunch or a game of charades. Keep busy even if you land with the washing up!

4. If you are the cook

Look for some lighter foods to serve and offer these as an option, for example strawberry pavlova or fresh fruit salad as an alternative to Christmas pudding. And choose a light salad based starter too. Look online for hints and tips about reducing the fat content in a typical Christmas lunch. You can reduce the calories by half and still serve up a delicious meal. At the very least remove the skin from turkey and any visible fat from meat and make the gravy ahead of time so that you can skim the fat from the surface when it cools.

This may clean it sufficiently

This may clean it sufficiently to allow it to run again next time you want to use it. Failing that, it’s time to take the tool to the shop for a stripping and cleaning, if you are not up to doing that yourself.

A few home compressed-air users may have built devices for their home or garage that use air valves and air cylinders to make them work.

Water flowing down with the compressed air will act negatively on both the air valves and the air cylinders.

With manual air valves the sticking can be overcome by exerting a bit more force on the valve handle. Not so with solenoid valves. These electrical devices shift the valve inernally with a magnetic coil or with pilot-air, and if the valve is full of gunk that came from the compressed air, it likely won’t work when you want it to. Once again, may I suggest a gentle tapping, the failure of which will mean either stripping and cleaning the valve or replacing it.

Air cylinders come from the factory with permanent lubrication. Read “permanent” as lasting a long while, not forever.

It’s true love when two become one; Margaret and George trade in old flats for new home

It’s true love when two become one; Margaret and George trade in old flats for new home

0 Comments | Sunday Mail (Glasgow, Scotland), July 18, 2010

They say two into one doesn’t go but it did for Margaret Paton and George Currie when they both sold their flats and moved in together.

The couple sold their properties and are now happily settled in a new Westpoint Homes apartment.

Margaret said: “We’d been talking for a while about selling both the flats and moving into one.

“We were out walking one day and saw this new development that looked really interesting.

“We liked the look of it because it was only a small development – just 25 flats – not one of these huge complexes you see.

“We looked it up on the web, went back the next day and pretty much decided there and then to buy.”

Margaret, 55, and George made their choice after looking at the plans as construction had only just started.

She said: “We didn’t have any doubts.

We were taken through the different shapes and sizes of the five different types of flat so we were fairly confident. There was one we particularly liked and that’s the one we bought.”

Housing association official Margaret added: “One thing that really attracted us was the en-suite bathroom.

“The flat also has a loft and a utility room so the washing machine is away from the kitchen.”

The couple bought at Westpoint Homes’ Strathcona Drive development of twobedroom flats just north of Anniesland Cross in Glasgow’s west end.

Margaret’s old flat was off Queen Margaret Drive while George, 57, an engineering firm manager, already lived in Anniesland.

She said: “We both prefer newer flats because they’re modern and easy to maintain.

“They also have modern double-glazed windows and much better insulation, which you don’t get in traditional properties.

“I work in housing so I know the maintenance needed for older houses – they can cost a fortune.”

The new flat has a sizeable hallway and the kitchen is separated from the main living and dining area by sliding doors.

Margaret said: “The utility room has plenty of room to store things and George has already floored the attic. We have a lot of boxes of stuff there which we can get at easily when we need things.”

She added: “The kitchen and bathrooms are really nice and they all have highquality fittings.

“The en-suite bathroom has a huge shower, which impressed me. The whole place is absolutely lovely.

“We’re really comfortable here and we think it’s great.”

Westpoint’s Easy Plan incentive covers legal and survey fees up to pounds 1000.

Around two-thirds of the properties are sold and prices for the remaining flats start at pounds 148,000.
