Accidents and odors
2008-07-24 16:29:00 Even before I began potty training my own children every once in awhile they would have accidents the diapers just wouldn't hold up to.After I got them potty trained, they still would sometimes have accidents.At night was probably the worst for my son Caleb. If I forgot to remind him to use the potty before bedtime, sometimes he would have an accident in bed.What's worse is the stains left behind by accidents. It didn't matter how many times I washed things the stain still lingered.I have tried many sprays that are supposed to contain odor fighting ingredients. Some just cover it and others do not have such a pleasant smell like they claim.Then I came across a spray called S.O.S which is a smoke, odor, and stain eliminator. I was skeptical this would even work. It is made by a company most people have not even heard of.I tested it on my furniture, in my garbage can, and on my oldest children's bags and things- their father smokes. So when they come back from dad's house everyt...
Accidents Claim One Goan Every 27 Hours 4,000 People Suffered A Mishap In 2
2008-06-04 10:08:00 Accidents Claim One Goan Every 27 Hours 4,000 People Suffered A Mishap In 2007 Drunk Driving Is The Biggest MenacePreetu Nair | TNN Every day last year, 11 people met with an accident on Goa’s roads. And one out of these 11 people returned home in a coffin. The figures, say traffic and transport experts, are chilling for a state that has only 6 lakh vehicles. Speed — often laced with alcohol — rules Goa’s roads and Goans pay with blood for this killing cocktail. More than 4,000 people were involved in an accident in 2007, police statistics for the year reveal. An overwhelming majority — about two-thirds — of these 4,000 people were men in the 20-45 age group. And exactly 322 of these 4,000 people died after the accident, implying that — on an average — one Goan family lost a member every 27 hours. But 322 deaths is only a part of the tragedy. Many of those who survive an accident can never go back to a normal life. “There are numerous complaints of acciden...

Boating Accidents Due To Operating Under the Influence
2008-06-03 01:33:00 You hear about fatal boating accidents in the news every now and then. Do you know that in Arizona alone, 50% of all fatal boating accidents that happened there in 2007 were alcohol related? That and 1/3 of all fatal boating accidents nationwide are all alcohol related?Operating a boat while impaired is just as dangerous ? and just as illegal ? as drinking while driving a car. So here are a few facts that you should know when operating a boat. The legal limit for blood alcohol is .08 in both driving a car and operating a boat. The penalties are similar too. Just like driving under the influence, Boating Operating Under the Influence is a Class One misdemeanor.

But educated boaters are 70 percent less likely to be involved in a boating accident. That' why if you are into Arizona Boating, you should consider taking clas...

Amtrak in two accidents
2008-05-28 18:56:00 JACKSON, Miss. -AP- An Amtrak passenger train collided with a garbage truck Tuesday on a rural stretch of central Mississippi track, injuring at least seven people, authorities said.Three of those taken to hospitals were Amtrak employees who suffered non-life-threatening injuries, Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari said. He did not know the status of the others hurt, or whether they were train passengers, truck passengers or both.  A fire broke out after the collision, authorities said, damaging the engine. The train’s final car, which was empty, left the track. Oh, I can’t wait for the final report on this one. CN owns the track through there, and I’m willing to bet that there’s nothing more than a set of crossbucks marking the crossing. Everyone involved with this one got very lucky, indeed. -0- Meanwhile we have a pedestrian getting hit by an express train at the Attleboro commuter rail station. Not many details are availble on this one, but the guy lived ...

24 hours to report all Singapore accidents to insurers
2008-05-28 01:02:00 24 hours to report all Singapore accidents to insurers From Sunday, motorists who don’t inform insurers in time will forfeit part of their no-claims discount or even insurance cover By Christopher Tan, Senior Correspondent REPORT EVEN MINOR ONES: Under the new rule, motorists must report all road accidents, even when there is no visible damage. — PHOTO: JOSEPH NAIR FOR THE STRAITS TIMES FROM Sunday, motorists must report all accidents - no matter how minor - to their respective insurers within 24hours or part of their no-claims discount (NCD) will be docked. Worse, their insurers might not cover them if a claim is filed against them. This tough stance is the latest attempt by the insurance industry to curb runaway claims, which drove motor underwriting losses to a five-year high of $103.2 million last year.

ACCIDENTS, AIM & HOUSE FIRES
2008-04-11 14:48:00 Cooper took a nose-dive on the trampoline last night into the metal side railing. He looks a little rough with his nose and right eye all swollen up and very sore. We've raised all 4 boys on the old trampoline without even one injury to this point. I think our odds have been good. It did take me quite a bit of begging before he let me take his picture. This was his happiest face. I should have taken it last night right after it happened. Wow! (Don't tell him I put it on my blog.)There are some pretty awesome things going on at the Childress church. We've got the Australian AIM team coming to work with us for the next four months. They've had to come back to the States a little early from their Australian mission field. They wanted to finish out their mission term, so they'll be working, ministering and helping with the church here in Childress for a few months. It's going to be a win/win situation for everyone involved. They'll bless us, and at the same time, it'll be a bles...

Auto Insurance - What to Do when you Get Tickets or Accidents
2008-04-09 00:00:00 Tickets or accidents can certainly have an impact on your auto insurance rates. When you get them, there are a few steps and actions you should take in order to properly manage your rates and your insurance protection. It is often that even with good intentions, we mistakenly violate the rules and regulations of the road. We may have not noticed out speed and exceeded the speed limit which led to a speeding ticket. Even worse, we even may have missed a stop sign and accidentally collided with another vehicle. This is an area that we must give special attention because tickets and accidents not only affect your financial being, but can also affect your auto insurance policy through rates and even the possibility of cancellation. If you know what factors affect your car insurance rates, then you're aware that tickets end up on your driving history which is used by auto insurance companies for rating purposes. Since statistics show that a driver history of violations have an indicatio...

Pai Town--Accidents and Hippies
2008-03-30 16:15:00 To say the least, my first day to Pai (AllAboutPai.com, PaiThailand.info, PaiTown.com) was an adventure. My friend--Pat--and I had booked a mini bus trip to Pai a couple days before we had planned to leave. On Saturday morning, we left from the Old City in Chiang Mai and a three hour ride put us in Pai by 4 p.m. We decided to rent motorbikes during our stay so we could get around quickly (rental shops were easy to find and had affordable rates). After finding our mode of transportation we decided to find a comfortable place to stay for the night; and a row of bungalows along the Pai River suited us fine. Finally, it was time to get out and see some of the surrounding area. Pai is located in a valley, and green-covered mountains rise around it. For our first stop, we decided to head to a waterfall. Unfortunately, the water is rather low during this time of year, and Mo Paeng Waterfall was far from spectacular. Nonetheless, it was a beautiful day out and we were able to enjoy the weat...
Traffic Safety: No Act of Fate - Accidents take lives of hundreds - many in
2008-03-29 11:20:00 Crop Over is soon here, and I was looking at PAHO's newsletter about vehicular mishaps and although it referred to the Caribbean, the closest they got was by Costa Rica, the story primarily dealt with South American territories and the horrors they cause long after the wreckage is hauled away!Yet I could not help but recall the bus and van tragedies that surrounded Kadooment and Emancipation last year, I am sure there were other terrible accidents in the rest of the region, but naturally the Bajan events are the ones we're very familiar with, so for a few moments I am going to look at both last year and see how it melds with what PAHO is worried about -In October 2006, a group of high school students from Buenos Aires were returning from a field trip to a rural school, where they had met and shared experiences with students from very different, less privileged backgrounds. On a highway in the province of Santa Fé, a truck collided head-on with their van. Nine of the students,...
