Do you have debts that you want to get rid of? Are you thinking about debt management credit counseling? If so, then stop, step back and think. It pays to consider debt management but you must be well - informed so that you can do it wisely. Do not get easily enticed with credit counselors saying that they are a non – profit company and that they will not charge you a penny when in fact, they will be asking you for some sort of registration fee later on which is about 9% up to 17% of your outstanding debt.
Come to think of it! You pay them “cash” so they get profit from you but still they are saying that they are a non – profit organization. Why is this so? Simple – They just want to avoid the payment of taxes. But whether or not they are non – profit companies, the real question is, do they really help eliminate debts??? More often than not, they don’t work so why bother? Don’t just waste all your hard earned money paying for something that will not make all your debts and worries bearable.
Instead, consider Plan B. Plan B is a debt elimination program which makes a great alternative to credit counseling simply because it works! It works by helping you reduce your credit card debts by as much as 80% while protecting your assets, income, and savings from being taken away from you because of your debts. More importantly, Plan B also protects against credit card lawsuits, stops annoying collection calls and keeps all your debts at bay until you can already afford to repay them. All these are 110% Guaranteed for a very affordable cost so why won’t you give it a try?
Just in time for the busiest travel season of the year, State Farm has released its annual research report on distracted driving, with troubling results. Though texting while driving remains a concern on the nation’s highways, people are also webbing while driving with increasing frequency. These behaviors may pose equal or greater concerns in the effort to reduce distracted driving.
The July 2012 survey of nearly 1000 motorists shines a light on a growing safety concern: people accessing the internet while driving. Four years of data show a significant increase in the use of mobile web services while driving.

Rough, dry skin may seem like a constant battle for some, especially as cold weather creeps in. When it comes to defeating dryness, leading New York Cosmetic Dermatologist, Dr. Doris Day, recommends following three cardinal rules: cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize. Using a mild cleanser helps rid skin of daily dirt buildup without stripping it of its essential oils. Once skin is clean and dry, applying a moisturizer with 12% lactic acid, like AmLactin® Moisturizing Body Lotion, aids in skin’s natural renewal process, exfoliating dead skin cells while simultaneously locking in moisture to the new cells underneath.

During the third quarter, we were again able to capture the benefits of AEGON’s strategic priorities, resulting in solid earnings growth, improved profitability of sales, lower expenses and a continued strong capital position. Our franchise remains healthy, as evidenced by the particularly high level of At-Retirement and pension sales. At the same time, we are making essential investments to reshape our businesses in both our established and developing markets to respond effectively to the changing conditions and new realities. Although there are signs of gradually improving market conditions, there remains considerable uncertainty in the general economic environment. Consequently, we believe it is prudent and necessary to maintain a sufficient financial buffer while at the same time adhering to our strict risk and pricing discipline. The steps we are taking across our organization to get closer to our end customers, combined with the strength of our current position, give us full confidence in the prospects for our business going forward.

In the lead-up to Lung Cancer Awareness Month this November, the ‘future face’ of women’s cancer is being revealed. While new data published last month by Cancer Research UK suggests the number of women dying from breast cancer in the UK is in decline – expected to drop almost 30 percent by 2030 – the number of women dying from lung cancer is on the increase.
Liz Darlison, Macmillan Consultant Nurse Specialist, University Hospitals of Leicester, says, “While the statistics paint a frightening picture, there’s a great deal that can be done to help ensure women are diagnosed earlier, treated earlier and live longer. By raising awareness of the tell-tale signs – for example, a persistent cough that lasts longer than three weeks – there’s the potential to save thousands of lives every year.”
