Thinking halloween..

Halloween is just around the corner. Of course children are excited in this coming trick or treat. This year I do not have to worry about what would be my son’s costume is gong to be, Because he will be using the one from last year. He is going to wear the "Buzz light year costume. I bought that bigger size on purpose, so he can wear it again this year. I'm glad he does n't care. He's just so proud of his costume. My husband and I don’t dress for Halloween on a regular basis because we never see many costumes I’d be interested in wearing. Maybe we need to look on the internet, there are a lot of costumes for sale online.

Insured your property

Right now, It's raining hard here in our area. I was just thinking what would happen if the rain did not stop for a few days, and it flooded. Things like that can happen especially for those houses that are in the Flood zone. But if you are prepared for any natural disasters that may occur in your lives, you're a little bit secure. Like having a flood insurance. I know a lot of people think it is not necessary that's why thirty-two percent of survey respondents claim that flood insurance is “unnecessary”- while statistics show that the demand for flood insurance fluctuates with the occurrence of major U.S. hurricanes. For me, It is necessary to have a flood insurance, especially for those people who live in flood zone. There are lots of flood insurance that you can get online or even in your area, but I would like to recommend Homeinsurance.com to you. hey have over 16 years of experience in the home insurance industry and a 12 time winner of the coveted Top in Country award, and because of that, they are one of the top-quality home insurance coverage for homeowners across the country. So visit their website and get home insurance quotes for your home.

Press Release:

Wilmington, N.C.(HomeInsurance.com) October 13, 2008-- In a survey on HomeInsurance.com, 32 percent of polled homeowners responded that flood insurance, despite a home’s location, is ‘unnecessary’. Fifty-two percent of homeowners responded that flood insurance was only necessary to protect coastal homes. The lack of concern for flood insurance coverage might be due to the minimal number of hurricanes making landfall in the U.S. in 2007.

“After a major hurricane (or an earthquake), there is an uptick in the purchase of these types of coverages. Then the take-up rate starts to slow down the following year as people’s fears start to diminish. They quickly “forget” about a hurricane,” said Loretta Worters, Vice President of the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.)

Data from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) shows that flood insurance awareness has varied over the years in almost a direct correlation with some of the major hurricane landfalls in the United States. For a five year period prior to Hurricane Ivan and Hurricane Katrina’s U.S. landfall, the number of flood insurance policies would increase on average by about 1.5 percent each year.

In 2005 however, the year after Hurricane Ivan hit the Gulf Coast and eastern seaboard, the number of flood insurance policies in force rose by 6.31 percent. More dramatically, the number of flood policies in effect went up 11.14 percent in 2006- the year following the number one flood event for NFIP payout in the history of the U.S. -- Hurricane Katrina. Likewise, the percent increase in flood policies went back to normal in 2007 with only a 2.5 percent increase from 2006 when there were not any substantial flood damages reported.

“Many people do not realize that floods, including inland flooding, flash floods and seasonal storms, occur in every region of the United States”, said Worters. “We continually look to remind people that standard homeowners and renters insurance does not cover flood damage. Flood damage is excluded under standard homeowners policies. Only a flood insurance policy, available to homeowners and renters through the federal government, will cover flood-related losses.”

The Midwest Floods that occurred in June of 2008 were a frightening example of how flood damage can occur anywhere, without any notice. A levee burst in Gulfport Illinois covering the small town in approximately 10 feet of water. As flood waters began to recede a gruesome number surfaced --28 -- the number of property owners that were insured against their losses.

Homeowners who would like more information about purchasing flood insurance and accessing their risk should visit the NFIP’s website: http://www.floodsmart.gov/floodsmart/.

I love quotations and inspirational thoughts, that is why, as some of you may have noticed, I posts different quotations. I just love them because they inspires me. Here is another great quotation for you.

"The small moon can eclipse the great sun. We too, can do great things if we set ourselves in the right place at the right time."
....or Nothing is Impossible.

Run Fast

I like this quotation that I found recently. This reminds me of taking opportunities in PPP. If you're slow and not smart enough, you might not get anything!... Well, sometimes it's the computer or the system that is slow. Ha!ha.

Do that extra bit, run that extra mile because there's always someone better than you out there so you better burn the fire inside!"

Your Homecity!

Right now we are in the stage of looking a house here in Dallas Fort Worth, and I'm praying that we could find the best deal. That's why I look at houses everywhere, magazines, newspaper and internet. There's one real estate broker website that I just visited and registered. This website is called homecity.com. I like how their website was designed for buyers and sellers. They have aerial photographs slide shows and virtual tours. I know there are also some real estate broker websites that have those services, but Homecity.com is different from all the websites I've tried. You will see instantly the information you need to know about a house, like home type, year built, days on market, $/sq.feet, sq.feet, taxes, lot size and a lot more! If you dont know, houses here in Texas are pretty cheap compare to other states, and Dallas and Austin are among the cities in Texas that are in the list of "one of the fastest growing cities in the country". It's nice in Austin too, I read that Round Rock city is also one of the fastest growing city. So if you are thinking to move in Texas, consider cities like Dallas Fort Worth, Austin and Round Rock, Texas. If you want Roundrock, visit round rock texas real estate and get familiar with Round Rock, TX.

Smile no matter what

I thought this is worth sharing.
"When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.
It's kinda hard sometimes to smile when you are not in the mood, but when things in our lives doesn't seem okay, Always remember to smile, because a smile makes a dark day seem bright! SMILE!

Are you homesick?

How many of us out there have family in other countries? I do and sometimes it is hard to find a good way to call them and be able to talk for a good extended amount of time. One of the best ways I have found to call them is with international calling cards. But which ones are the best and where is a good place to find them. One such place is Getmecallingcards.com. They have calling cards for a wide range of countries and a range of pricing as well. For example to call the Philippines where my family is 1.3¢/Minute, to call Mexico - 0.9¢/Minute, and to call United Kingdom – Unlimited. All of these calls are from the United States. If you need a good calling card source then Getmecallingcards.com is a good place to start.

More planes

More pictures of the airplanes. I took this yesterday at the air show. It was fun to watch different kinds of airplanes flying.

Is your ride to slow?

I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited that I need to have some work done to it. So far I have been unable to find a good a deal on parts until now. I found this website called Superchargerpros.com. They have the parts that I need and they are reasonably priced. They also have Supercharger, turbochargers for many makes and models. A few makes are Buick Park Avenue Supercharger, Buick Regal Supercharger, Buick Supercharger, Chevrolet Supercharger, Ford Supercharger, Mazda Millenia Super Charger, Mazda Millenia Supercharger, Mazda Supercharger, Mercedes Supercharger, and pontiac supercharger and more. They also have excellent customer service and great warranties for all of their products. If you are the type of person who loves to work on you on your cars then Superchargerpros.com is where you should go to get all of your parts.

Good fly

Another cool airplane exhibition that we watched yesterday. The pilot who was flying this airplane did a very good job. Great show, It 's worth watching.

Searching for a good Rabbi?

This is for all of the Jews out there. It is also for all of those who may not be Jews but adhere to Jewish values. For more than a decade, Rabbi Yitzhak Miller (who prefers Rabbi Yitzi) has served as a Rabbi and Director of Education to several congregations (Riverside, Gilroy, Los Gatos, Yuba City and Lancaster, Calif.) This former international businessman decided that his calling was to be a Rabbi, to transcend a materialistic life and reach for the sacred, to serve God, and to create spiritual and emotional bonds among the Jewish people and the people of the world. Known for his warm spirit, deep passion, and commitment to Jewish and personal growth, Rabbi Yitzi brings these values to every interaction and every relationship.

Rabbi Yitzi has created something called The Synagogue of the Greater Whole which tries to provide Jewish services and education to those who seek it, but who are not connected to a physical synagogue. The project also provides services to existing physical synagogues and Rabbis who wish to supplement their programs.

The Synagogue of the Greater Whole serves four primary groups. Those groups are Jews and those interested in a connection to Judaism, Lifecycle services. Lifecycle services such as Bar Mitzvah & Bat Mitzvah, Weddings, Bris & Baby Naming, Spiritual Counseling, Torah Study and Etc. The next group is People exploring the Jewish conversion process. The third group is Small congregations who may be served by a student or part-time Rabbi who--with full support of their student rabbi or part-time Rabbi--wish to supplement their programmatic offerings. The final group is full-service congregations who--with full support of their Rabbi--wish to supplement the programs they offer, but cannot afford additional dedicated staff/clergy to provide these additional programs. One of the best things about Rabbi Yitzi is that All services offered by him directly are available either for free or at greatly reduced rates to members of the Synagogue of the Greater Whole.

Cool plane

I took this picture when we went to the Alliance Air show yesterday. It was a great air show. My son enjoyed it!
