Operation Cover Me Fighting Back Against Auto Insurance Fraud

Posted on February 05, 2009
During tough economic times it is hard to make ends meet. With all the monthly bills that pile up, one of the hardest ones to swallow is auto insurance.

Posted on January 30, 2009
Aroma therapy has always been a way to relax after a long hard day. JAKKS offers several different kits aimed at teaching kids how to mix up their own scents and bath oils.

Maximizing Your Fun on the Ski Slopes

Posted on January 22, 2009
When you’ve been working too hard during the gray winter months or just need a change of scenery, a quick weekend trip to the nearest ski slopes can seem like the perfect antidote for your blues. Unfortunately, far too many of us pack our bags and head out before first stopping to recall how long it’s been since we last skied or how well we did that last time around...

Holiday Season Highway Fatalities Down

Posted on December 29, 2008
The holiday season is a dangerous time to be out and about. The weather conditions are not always ideal, there are more people on the roads, and drivers tend to be a little more stressed than usual.

Posted on December 12, 2008
KCRA 3 in Sacramento reported some shocking statistics released from Caltrans this week. Sacramento is second only to Los Angeles when it comes to traffic collision hot spots!

Is the Spree of Hit and Runs a Product of a Bad Economy?

Posted on November 13, 2008

Drunk Driver get a Slap on the Wrist for Fatal Crash

Posted on October 23, 2008
I was shocked and very upset to read about Troy Hovey’s sentencing. Judge Robert Glusman handed down the weak sentence of 180 days in jail and three years probation for taking the life of Amit Tandon. Mr. Tandon’s widow is pregnant and was unable to face the man who killed her husband in court, but she sent the judge a letter asking for the maximum of 10 years in prison...

Driving Under the Influence

Posted on October 15, 2008
This is a pretty hot topic right now because of the increasing number of collisions that involve alcohol or drugs.

Man's Best Friend and Worst Enemy

Posted on October 14, 2008
The SPCA is warning people not to go out and buy chihuahuas to emulate the new movie “Beverly Hills Chihuahua.” They say that these dogs will attach to one person and be hostile to everyone else, so it’s not really a family dog. They advise doing research into different breeds and thinking about what you want out of your pet before going out and buying a dog...

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Statistics

Posted on October 10, 2008
Very, very interesting stuff. Their website has many different statistics, guides, and safety curriculums. Thanks to a post by Beth Janicek, my attention was brought to the 2007 reports on traffic accidents and fatalities. Now, I used to be a math dork in highschool and I guess that’s something you don’t grow out of because I am having a blast with these numbers...

Are You Really in Good Hands with Allstate?

Posted on September 30, 2008
Allstate Insurance is easily the most prolific advertiser of auto and casualty insurance lines. It runs a series of television commercials starring Dennis Haysbert (of Major League fame) that cleverly portray real life situations, such as rear end auto collisions, and some not so real life situations, like wayward college football fans running their car into a statue of renowned coach Bobby Bowden, to illustrate the need for insurance...

Governor Vetos "Lap-Dog" Bill

Posted on September 29, 2008
The governor is finally working through the 766 bills that crossed his desk during the budget crisis. Among these was AB2233. Brought by Assemblyman Bill Maze, the bill was meant to outlaw the practice of carrying a pet on your lap while driving.Question: Why do we need a law that says it's not okay to have a pet in your lap while you're driving?I would think that common sense would keep people from doing this (then again, I also thought common sense would keep people from texting while driving)...

The FDA, part 4 (The last part, I swear)

Posted on September 27, 2008
Despite all my research, the FDA is still one big mystery to me. I think I would understand more about what they protect us from if the public had access to information about drugs and products that have been rejected by the FDA. But giving out that information could violate intellectual property rights, damage reputations, and tip off competitors...

The FDA, part 3

Posted on September 26, 2008
Maybe some people were surprised at last Thursday's report from the Government Accountability Office which states the FDA is letting contaminated produce fall through the cracks and onto our plates, but I was not.After everything I've learned about how the FDA was created, how it operates, and it's responsibilities, I can easily believe that only 1% of imported produce is investigated...
