			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being involved in a car accident can put yourself, your passengers, and your vehicle at risk, not to mention putting an end to your cheap <a href="http://www.topinsur.net/">car insurance</a>. Practicing road safety by obeying traffic laws and maintaining safe driving habits should be a top priority for drivers. But what about drivers who live near the top ten most dangerous intersections in the country?</p>
<p><strong>Top 10 most dangerous intersections</strong></p>
<p>10. Howe Avenue and Fair Oaks Boulevard in Sacramento, California.<br /> 9. Veterans Memorial Boulevard and Clearwater Parkway in Metairie, Louisiana<br /> 8. Preston Road and State Highway 121 in Plano, Texas<br /> 7. Northern Avenue and 19th Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona<br /> 6. Memorial Drive and 71st Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma<br /> 5. Memorial Drive and 51st Street also in Tulsa, Oklahoma<br /> 4. Bell Road and 7th Street also in Phoenix, Arizona<br /> 3. Roosevelt Boulevard and Grant Avenue, the first of two in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania<br /> 2. Roosevelt Boulevard and Red Lion Road, also located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania<br /> 1. Pines Boulevard and Flamingo Road is the most dangerous, located in Pembroke Pines, Florida</p>
<p>Drivers in Philadelphia, Tulsa, and Phoenix may have even greater concerns about avoiding collisions, since all three of those cities feature two different intersections in the top 10 list. However, there are a few things that can be done to improve an intersection&#8217;s standing within the list to make it safer.</p>
<p><strong>Learn why they&#8217;re dangerous</strong></p>
<p>First, the causes must be determined as to why those intersections are dangerous. Sometimes it may be a minor issue such as changing the pattern to existing</p>
<p>traffic signals, or making signs and markings more visible. This is usually investigated by a local highway safety department or other government agency.</p>
<p><strong>Adjust accordingly</strong></p>
<p>Once the cause of the high number of accidents has been determined, the agency or department in charge of investigations will also present an improvement plan to reduce potential future collisions. This could include new signal indicators, visibility upgrades, clearer pedestrian indicators, or other strategies. Intersections where cars slide through due to ice and snow buildup may benefit from a topical application of friction material, for example. Other intersections may need the addition of a bus bay to offer greater protection to those passengers as they enter and exit public transportation.</p>
<p><strong>Change your driving habits</strong></p>
<p>Of course, if all else fails, and a particular intersection remains unsafe, it&#8217;s best to change your driving route in order to avoid the area altogether. Convenience simply isn&#8217;t worth the risk of harm to yourself, your passengers, or your vehicle. Not to mention, the risk of losing that cheap <a href="http://www.topinsur.net/top-10-most-dangerous-intersections.html">car insurance</a>.</p>

Every drop of sweat they become so sexy. Sports skateboarding, if it can be categorized as such, initially the form of a side of the surfers. Do you know? Do you know the history of skateboarding how come? Skateboard comes from California, the United States is famous for its surf sports. Early appearance of it is when the surfers find a way how they could keep skating at sea when the waves are receding. Then, at the end of 1940 to early 1950, introduced the game skateboard. It is a game up and perform a variety of tricks using a skateboard board. The surfers feel there are activities that are not much different from the surf.</p>
<p>Initially skateboard board is a box or a hand-carved wood and given tire roller skates. Its name was sidewalk surfing. Because the game is only played when the waves recede. The first reserve board skateboard for sale is Bill Richard, who owns a surf shop in California. The manufacturer is The Chicago Roller Skate Company. In 1963, skateboarding became famous. Skateboard athletes had become an idol. They include Torger Johnson, Woody Woodward and Danny Berer. But their game is different from the style of skateboarding today. First player style, more like a ballet dancer in beratraksi. You also might be imagined by looking at some <a href="http://www.zephyrsports.com/category/skateboard_gear.skateboarding_videos/" target="_blank"><em><strong>skate videos</strong></em></a> time immemorial. In 1965, it suffered a significant setback. The game is considered not cool compared hula hop game. Many skateboard company went bankrupt. But, there are still many teenagers who are faithful to play in his spare time. In 1975, skateboarding started to rise again. This is because of rampant freestyle slalom race was held. One of the biggest is the freestyle and slalom contest in Del Mar, California.</p>
<p>Beginning of a trend back skateboarding is because some people do a lot of unimaginable force on their skateboards. So, this game became more macho and cool among teenagers. The teens look at the<a href="http://www.zephyrsports.com/category/skateboard_gear.skateboarding_videos/" target="_blank"><em><strong> skateboard videos</strong></em></a> new techniques to play it.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The recession may have finished as a matter of technical accounting, but the general economic conditions for business remain very difficult. Whether you are a start-up or continue as a small business owner, there&#8217;s a temptation to cut the business overheads to the bone. This can be a false economy. Let&#8217;s start with a little law. If you are trading as an individual or a partnership, you are personally liable on all the contracts you make and for any losses arising due to your negligence (or criminal activity). Although there are slight variations in the law from state-to-state, the general rule about an LLC is that you are personally liable in tort and for any crimes you may commit, but there&#8217;s a shield to prevent you from incurring liability in contract. The general rule for a full corporation is you avoid personal liability under both contract and tort, although you can still be sued if members of the company believe you have breached your fiduciary duties as a director or senior officer. The other piece of law you need to know is that either you or the company will be held vicariously liable for whatever an employee does during the course of the employment. So if an employee is driving a vehicle owned by the business or driving his or her own vehicle on company business, either you or the company will be liable if the employee drives negligently and causes loss to a third party.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many people believe it will be enough to rely on a Business Owners Policy (BOP). Indeed, many insurers and their agents sell these policies as a one-stop insurance solution. Sadly, this is a dangerous assumption. In particular, many BOPs limit or exclude losses caused when vehicles are damaged or damage third parties or their property. This is something you should discuss with your insurance advisor. For example, although the business owner may find some third party losses covered when he or she is driving, vicarious liability is almost always excluded. This means you could find yourself personally liable for both the medical expenses of anyone injured and all the consequential losses arising from the accident. Worse, if you or an employee was driving a vehicle owned by the business, BOPs decline cover for repair or replacement if the vehicle if damaged. The same applies if the vehicle is stolen or vandalized. You will only be able to recover these losses if you have a commercial auto insurance policy in place. It gets worse because, even if the employee is driving his or her own vehicle, it&#8217;s at your risk. Similarly, BOPs usually exclude cover if you rent a vehicle for your own or an employee&#8217;s use.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To protect yourself or the general financial health of your company, you either need to go through the BOP and agree endorsements with the insurer to cover all the obvious areas of risk, or you should buy a full commercial <a href="http://www.insuronline.net/articles/avoid-cheap-car-insurance.html">car insurance policy</a> covering third party, comprehensive and hired vehicle losses. It&#8217;s a false economy to rely on a BOP when even a small claim may be the difference between continuing in business and bankruptcy. Buying cheap <a href="http://www.insuronline.net/">car insurance</a> should not be an option in these difficult economic times.</p>
