Sometimes when you are on a

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

Sometimes when you are on a date this question will come up: “How many women have you been with?” In other words, she wants to know how many women you have slept with.

Personally, I think this kind of question is too personal and none of her business. However, some single women have a hidden motive when asking this question. She wants to know if you are a player and sleep around a lot. If you are honest with her and tell her you have slept with over 30 women, she may feel that she will just be another notch on your bedpost and think that you just use women for sex. You certainly don’t want her to have this impression because it may turn her off.

So, what is the best answer to her question? Whatever you do, don’t tell her how many women you have been with and any details on your sex life with other women.

Insurers grapple with health care, economy

Insurers grapple with health care, economy

0 Comments | Chattanooga Times Free Press, Jun 27, 2010

Staff Report

As most of the nation continues to debate the merits of recently passed health care legislation, insurance companies are rushing to stay ahead of the curve by making consumer-friendly changes and emphasizing healthy lifestyles to contain long-term health care costs.

Chattanooga-based insurers or those with major presences are no different as they grapple with the new legislation as well as the vagaries in the economy:

UNUM GROUP

* Chattanooga-based Unum announced in May that it planned to comply with health care legislation early, extending medical coverage eligibility to certain adult children of employees

* In 2010, Unum was named one of the Top 10 places to work in Tennessee for the fourth time since 2006 by Business Tennessee and was named to Newsweek’s list of Greenest Companies in America.

* The company continues to push ahead on its campus expansion, as its LEED-certified parking garage moves toward a December completion date. The company expects to have transitioned away from surface lots by the beginning of 2011.

* Unum outpaced the industry in 20 of 24 customer satisfaction categories for its long-term disability division.

* Executives unveiled a new ad campaign, featuring Unum’s “Days Fly By” commercial, which is targeted at human resources professionals in Chattanooga and across the country.

* Unum’s credit rating was upgraded twice this year by Moody’s and Fitch due to “sustained improvements in the company’s profitability and financial flexibility,” according to Moody’s. Fitch cited “operating performance which has remained strong despite a weak global economy.”

CIGNA HEALTHCARE

* Cigna HealthCare, which has a major presence in Chattanooga, has launched a mobile learning lab in Tennessee to educate people on how to improve health, due to Tennessee being ranked between 45 and 47 out of 50 states in obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and other measures of overall health.

* 620,000 Tennesseans are now members of Cigna, a number that has doubled over the last five years.

* The company moved customer support employees to work-at-home arrangements to enable 24-hour customer service.

* Cigna changed its customer service paradigm from specialized support, with different employees servicing different issues, to an all-in-one approach, where each customer support representative can answer questions and take action on any issues.

* Cigna refocused attention on the 20 percent of members who drive 80 percent of costs in an attempt to encourage healthier lifestyles

Air beds are a cheap way

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

Air beds are a cheap way for displaced citizens to house themselves with friends, in campgrounds, or any other area they can find space.

Areas across Louisiana and beyond have been inundated with residents of New Orleans. In nearby areas such as Lafayette and Baton Rouge, housing markets have been flooded with people seeking a place to stay. When asked about potential housing, real estate agents as far north as Alexandria simply laughed and stated that evacuees should not even come there unless they had family in the area. Many companies have also relocated entire offices from New Orleans to the smaller cities in the immediate vicinity. Some have even gone so far as to simply buy up vast quantities of local housing, pushing affordable space out of the reach of many evacuees. While hotels have spaces available in some areas, many residents cannot afford the expense.

Even with the city reopening, people will have great difficulty finding a place to sleep. Many houses, while no longer underwater, have been flooded with large amounts of water and no longer have a viable place to sleep.

More than 70 per cent of British holidaymakers reckon overweight air passengers should be made to pay for an extra seat on flights, a survey shows. Men were more concerned than women about obese fellow travellers, the poll of 6000 people by price comparison site TravelSpec.com found. As many as 75 per cent of men and 68 per cent of women believed that overweight passengers should pay double.

Thirty-two per cent complained about inadequate leg room and babies crying and restless passengers were also aggravating

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

For example, a ‘Scarf of the Month’ club for knitters or ‘Flash Art of the Month’ for those who draw tattoos or other graphics. Giving people a reason to come back will not only increase your exposure but help you to create a budget that you can depend on. Commission order forms.

Whether someone wants to specify the yarn, weight, density, size, color, and pattern for a tapestry or if they have some vague idea that perhaps they’d like to get a painting for their brother, it’s easy to design an order form for your art website that will help you understand what exactly it is that they want from you.

Contact info.

Include everything from your cell phone to your email address. They already have your website address, but list it here anyway, in case they copy and paste their information.

Art newsletter.

Whether you focus just on what’s new with you and what new services you have to offer including where you’ll be showing next and new discounts you have to offer or instead write a newsletter on the history, news events, and interesting facts about the type of art you’re interested in, an art newsletter is a great way to remind people who you are and how to find you.

Part of the community.

Offering a link page to fellow artists, framers, and art supply stores may not only earn you a few link-backs on their pages but will make you a source of information in the art community worth book marking.

Need for referendum will flatten right to build idea

Need for referendum will flatten right to build idea

0 Comments | Daily Post; Liverpool (UK), Jul 28, 2010 | by Rob Merrick

MORE and more, I find myself looking at the headline on top of a government announcement – before realising that exactly the opposite is the truth.

For example, the schools’ revolution – more academies and ‘free schools’ – masks an extraordinary accumulation of power in Whitehall, despite ministers’ claims to be handing it to parents.

Similarly, the government insists it is giving Merseyside more muscle and money to revive its economy – but, in truth, the cash is drying up and power is heading back to London.

However, nowhere is this Alice-in-Wonderland world more apparent than in housing, where the claim that it will soon become easier to build desperately-needed affordable homes is truly mindboggling. Last week, a “Right to Build” was promised, with the aim of providing small numbers of cheaper homes where sky-high prices are driving locals away. We were told that residents would form housing trusts and bypass planning permission, ensuring they would not be “thwarted by bureaucracy”

Nevertheless the Pacific Ocean

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

Nevertheless the Pacific Ocean is heating up on our side of the world and the surface temperatures indeed make Hurricanes and Tropical Storms more probable as they are easier to form.

The absence of a strong trade when seems to have allowed Tropical Storm Aletta to have formed early in the Season. Meanwhile on the Atlantic Side of Mexico the waters are also already heating up in the Gulf of Mexico. During the 2005 Atlantic Tropical Hurricane Mexico got hammered hard by one Category IV Hurricane and several smaller ones when the remnants continued for a week flooding inland. Consider all this in 2006.

On Father's Day, the early bird gets – what else? – breakfast

On Father’s Day, the early bird gets – what else? – breakfast

0 Comments | Florida Times Union, Jun 12, 2010 | by Jackie Rooney

Before you know it Sunday, June 20, will be here, the day to celebrate all the fathers, husbands, grandfathers and other father figures in your life. No. 1 daughter and I are going to take her father, my spouse, the Binmeister, out for breakfast, his favorite meal of the day.

I married “Mr. Breakfast.” I didn’t realize it until the morning after the nuptials when he leaped out of bed and cheerfully declared, “bacon, eggs, toast and coffee-yes!”

“It’s 7 a.m.,” I mumbled into my pillow. “Don’t we get to brush our teeth first? I can’t deal with this. Is it too late for an annulment?”

“Pancakes with butter and syrup, yum,” he tried to tempt me. “Biscuits and gravy – maybe, grits?”

“Grits? We live in New York,” I said. “Go back to sleep, you can’t get grits here.”

Forty-three years later, I’m no longer averse to the first meal of the day – just to cooking it and being cheerful at any hour before 9 a.m. An old Irish proverb says, “Marriages are all happy; it’s having breakfast together that causes all the trouble.”

Life is full of little compromises. So, Monday through Friday, the man I wed is a mild-mannered (on a good day) businessman who makes his own oatmeal and coffee. But on the weekends, he becomes “Mr. Breakfast” – and makes his own bacon and eggs. Then we moved to the land of grits and biscuits and gravy and he discovered nirvana. Unfortunately, he married Ms. Out-to-Lunch. Hmmm … perhaps I should restate that. Nevertheless, out to lunch I go gathering social news around the Beaches.

– On June 4, The Florida Times-Union presented the 41st annual EVE luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Jacksonville Riverfront. About 525 people attended the affair that recognized 12 women from Florida’s First Coast for achievements in education, volunteer service and employment, hence EVE. All finalists received plaques and one from each category was awarded a prestigious golden apple. The winners and event were reported in Sunday’s Times-Union. However, it’s noteworthy for denizens of the beach that Donna Orender of Jacksonville Beach and Carolee Bertisch of Ponte Vedra Beach were at the head table.

The Times-Union’s first female publisher, Lucy Talley, was the event’s emcee

Plot’s twists and turns mesmerise

0 Comments | Taranaki Daily News; New Plymouth, New Zealand, Jul 23, 2010

Hypnosis opened at New Plymouth’s Little Theatre last night. It’s a real detective whodunnit that I highly recommend.

It’s great entertainment as it takes you on a rollercoaster ride where you think you’ve solved the crime, only to discover you haven’t. One audience member called these twists and twirls great add-ons. They certainly kept you in suspense and dispelled any smugness you felt on predicting the conclusion.

The strong, but natural acting from the three cast members – Mark Jamieson, Morris West and Nikki McCormack – was another triumph of this play.

They all coped with huge amounts of dialogue, often filled with clever double meanings. Their character portrayals were spot on
