If You Are Using Supplemental Heating Sources In Your Home, Take Proper Precautions

"Space heaters, wood stoves and other supplemental heating sources are the leading cause of home fires during the winter months, trailing only cooking equipment. The National Fire Protection Association reports that fixed and portable home heating devices account for two of every three home heating related fires and two of every three related deaths. In 2008 (the most recent statistics available), heating equipment was involved in an estimated 66,100 reported home structure fires, 480 civilian deaths, 1,660 civilian injuries, and caused direct property damage of $1.1 billion."

insurance most dangerous driving holiday thanksgiving

According to this article from Forbes, the most dangerous driving holiday is Thanksgiving ...

"On certain holidays, scores of drivers get behind the wheel when they shouldn't. But the deadliest holiday isn't the first that springs to mind.


It's late at night on a holiday, and local emergency workers are on high alert. In upstate New York, a speeding car splits into three pieces after slamming into a utility pole. In Longview, Texas, a drunk driver hits a Mitsubishi Montero, killing a college student. In Western Michigan, a driver loses control of her car and crashes into a parked ambulance.


Just another New Year's Eve, right? Wrong. These things all happened on Thanksgiving, the most dangerous holiday of the year for drivers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Thanksgiving is the day when heavy traffic, drinking and long-distance car trips combine to create fatal travel conditions...." Most dangerous driving holiday -

Most Stolen Vehicles in Louisville KY

Most Stolen Vehicles:

Just because your Honda is a clunker doesn't mean it's safe to leave it unlocked while you make a coffee run.

Approximately 1 million vehicles are stolen nationwide every year, but the 1994 Honda Accord is the most stolen car, according to an Aug. 24 report by the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Last year, more than 55,000 Accords were stolen in the U.S. Needless to say, the thieves aren't after style, just substance.

Older vehicles like the 15-year-old Accord are pinched so often because their lack of theft-deterrent technology makes them easy to access and their parts--headlights, tires, catalytic converters and anything containing copper--are valuable on the black market. It also comes down to pure numbers, says Frank Scafidi, a spokesman for the National Insurance Crime Bureau: "Hondas and Toyotas, they sell millions of these things, so there are more targets, obviously."

Car buyers eager to get big federal rebates.....I

"It is happening already. Customers are asking new-car dealers about getting as much as $4,500 for their old gas-guzzlers.

The new incentive, popularly known as "Cash for Clunkers," took effect Wednesday.

But it will be weeks before anyone knows the fine print of the federal program, such as how dealers register with the government for reimbursement of the rebates, or when and how salvage yards should process old vehicles into scrap.

To get the credit, the gas-guzzler has to be taken off the road and either destroyed or broken up for parts.

Consumers, car dealers and salvage-yard operators who want to participate in the program said they have plenty of questions while they wait for detailed guidelines due July 23 from the Transportation Department.... Car Buyers

National Motor Vehicle Title Informatoin

National Motor Vehicle Title Information :

"How much will it cost to obtain NMVTIS information on a vehicle?
Cost for NVMTIS vehicle history reports vary and are determined by individual service providers. The Anti-Car Theft Act requires that the system be funded through user fees and not dependent on federal funds. For this reason, NMVTIS has been designed as a fee-for-service system. Current fees range from approximately $2 to $4 per report.

What kind of information will I receive in a NVMTIS vehicle history report?
NMVTIS records provide:

• current and previous state of title data
• title issue date
• latest odometer data
• theft history data (if any)
• any brand assigned to a vehicle and date applied
• salvage history, including designations as a "total loss" (if any)

Read the NMVTIS Consumer Access Product Disclaimer, which describes what is and is not included in NMVTIS reports.

What types of vehicles are included in NMVTIS?
NMVTIS includes information on automobiles, buses, trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, motor homes, and tractors. NMVTIS may not currently include commercial vehicles if those vehicles are not included in a state's primary database for title records (in some states, those vehicles are managed by a separate agency), although these records may be added at a later time.

How current is the information in NMVTIS?
Currently the data provided to NMVTIS by states is provided in a variety of time frames; while some report and update NVMTIS data in "real-time" (as title transactions occur) others send updates less frequently, such as once every 24 hours or within a period of days...."
