Let's say you work for a company that has excellent benefits and a great insurance health package too. Unfortunately, your health care provider from your employment does not cover income and disability insurance. If you are hurt on the job in some type of industrial accident then you are covered by workmen's comp insurance. But what happens if you are hurt outside of work? What if you are hit by a hit and run driver on your bicycle or you fall off your roof or any number of back breaking events? Well, without being able to work you will run through your sick-time and vacation time pretty quickly and then be without any income to pay your bills, make your mortgage payments or buy food. We often hear about this happening to others, but what if this were to happen to you? What would or cou...

It's been described with such superlatives as "Mad Max meets Disneyland". Many have tried, and failed, to liken Burning Man to other festivals around the world; parallels have been drawn to Woodstock, the legendary rock festival that famously got out of hand when thousands crashed the gate and the heavens opened to douse the whole event with heavy rain. England's much celebrated three day festival of music and arts - Glastonbury, has also been compared to Burning Man, and though it is probably the closest contender that exists, the concept is very different to that of Burning Man. The truth of the matter is that Burning Man is a completely unique event, the likes of which the world has never seen before. Every year, for five days, some 50,000 people make their way to the flat, parched p...

1. A group homeowner's insurance policy will cost you less. Some associations have also negotiated discounts for their members with home insurance carriers so check if yours has such. But before you buy see if you can get a lower rate with another insurer than that offered your association. This is because you might end up getting an insurer who is willing to take less than you'll even get from an association's discount. There's fierce competition in the home insurance industry and you can take advantage of this to pay lower rates if you take your time to do extensive shopping and comparisons. 2. There's the possibility that you could pay less for coverage if you take the time to go through your policy either whenever there's a considerable change in your home or just routinely once of ...

Genoa Nevada has five great spots to grab a meal, a sandwich, and a cup of coffee, something sweet or a cocktail! La Ferme is a full bar and restaurant open Tuesday thru Sunday in Genoa. It offers a fine French menu that is famous throughout the Carson Valley, Reno and Tahoe. The food is very delicious and there are different specials all of the time. The ambiance is cozy as well with a fireplace blazing in the winter and lots of great company year round. The Genoa Country Store is a local’s favorite. Recently under new ownership the Country Store offers a variety of options including sandwiches, hot dogs, salads, soups, daily specials, breakfast burritos/sandwiches and ice cream. In the summer there are also frequent bbq lunches to choose from. On Friday nights there is wine tasting an...

The media keeps telling us how bad the real estate market has turned and they couldn't be more wrong.  When do you buy? When the prices are low which is right now. It is a buyers market! The buyer has all the leverage power right now. Why should home buyers wait till the market is on the upswing with prices increasing. That's crazy! The best places to buy are the states who are the former "hot market" areas: Arizona, Nevada, Florida etc. They have the bargains waiting for you to pick from. The inventory is high and prices low. What more could you ask for? If you have the desire and good credit go find what you've always dreamed of right now.
