One of the quickest and less time-consuming ways to find an insurance policy that is tailored to your needs is to speak with an insurance broker. With the information that you provide to them, they can search for the right company that will give you the best rate. They will gather information regarding the type of car or cars you wish to insure, any safety features that are installed, your driving record, and other factors that can lower your premiums which are called discounts. Also, having more than one policy with the same cheap auto insurance in Florida company will give you an additional discount.

For jobs involving rigging, including those that require crane, scaffolding, and steel erection, it becomes even more important to have the proper rigging insurance. This is a difficult job to find out whether you have this insurance or not just by reading the contract. The language is written by a lawyer in terms of the insurance industry – the important details of the document can be lost in words only an insurance lawyer could truly understand. Although having a basic understanding of what the contract includes, it’s even more important being able to choose an insurance agency whose expertise you can trust, and be able to consult with them about choosing the proper rigging insurance.

Finding the right insurance agency may be a bit of a challenge. A good place to start is by getting to know your current insurer better. Ask to see their client list and see if they have a healthy number of construction companies such as you as clients. If any of these companies have been around awhile, go speak to them to see how they have been handled by your insurer, particular in the claims department. A denied claim can often mean that the insurance company did not put all of the correct policies in place. Make sure there are not a lot denied claims, and try to find if some of those claims are due to the client not accepting the insurance to cut costs on premiums, or that it was never recommended in the first place. After digging in a bit, you will be better prepared to trust your insurance company, or look for a new one if necessary.

This Is What You See When You Crash Into a Mountain at 120 MPH [Video]

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:30:11 +0000

Earlier this week we showed you Jeb Corliss’ brush with death, as he hit the side of Table Mountain while attempting a wingsuit jump. Now, the footage from the cameras mounted to his helmet is available—and it looks terrifying.

When Jeb jumped off of Table Mountain, he sure as hell wasn’t planning to hit one of its outcrops at full speed. Sadly, on the way down his foot clipped a rock whilst he was traveling at 120mph.

As the video shows, despite the collision, he still managed to open his parachute. That alone is how he survived. You are a lucky, lucky man, Jeb. [Jeb Corliss]

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:30:10 +0000

I guess it would be no secret that I am a bit of a sloucher, after all, I am in front of a computer for most of the day, but I think it all started because when I was a young kid, I was taller than all the boys, whatever the case, poor posture isn’t attractive, and I guess its not all that good for you either. Getting into bad habits is easy… Changing bad habits is hard.

Here’s some help for your posture issues, you know, just in case your mom isn’t standing nearby yelling at you to stand up straight. Developed by a neurologist, the iPosture is designed to be worn as a pendant, clipped to your clothing or stuck directly to your skin. It senses your body’s position and instantly serves to remind you to straighten up simply by vibrating when you slouch, and continuing until its corrected. Just like Mom.

Watch Steve Jobs’ Life In a Facebook Timeline (Updated) [Steve Jobs]

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:30:10 +0000

Someone built a Facebook timeline with the life of Steve Jobs. It’s quite nice to go through it and look at his life in this format, rather than having to suffer through Isaacson’s rushed out prose.

It is actually a great idea that I want to see more: build timelines of famous dead people in Facebook. I can imagine the same for everyone, from politicians like FDR or Winston Churchill to scientists like Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton to actors like Paul Newman and Humphrey Bogart. It would be great way to try to teach some history. You know. For kids!

In fact, Facebook should make these officially and call them Facebook’s Historical Bios or something like that.

This one is not going to last long, I’m sure, so go through it while it lasts. [Facebook]

Update: It’s down.
