I know that this video is disturbing but I hope it will embed in your mind the importance of fireworks safety during your Fourth of July celebration. It just takes an instant for your holiday celebration to turn to tragedy, and it is usually the innocent that pay the price for our mistakes. Here are a few safety tips to keep in mind if you are planning a fireworks display at home:
Please treat fireworks with respect, read all of the cautions and warnings.
Lighting fireworks indoors, throwing them from automobiles and lighting multiple devices at the same time can lead to accidents and are not how fireworks are intended to be used.
Obey local laws. If fireworks are not legal where you are, don’t use them. If drought conditions mean a ban on fireworks, follow the law.
Only persons over 12 years of age should handle sparklers of any type. Too many young people get burned by sparklers every year. By keeping sparklers out of youngsters, we can reduce these injury rates.
Only use fireworks as intended. Don’t try to alter them or combine them.
Fireworks and alcohol do not mix. Have a designated “shooter”
If you see someone misusing fireworks, stop them. Show them the correct way to use consumer fireworks and do not ever use professional fireworks or illegal explosives. Do your part and everyone will be safer.
When all else fails, use common sense. Respect fireworks and sparklers as the great American tradition they are, but also respect the fact that the must be used with caution.
For questions on the legality of fireworks in you area or a more in depth look at fireworks safety, please visit the National Council On Fireworks Safety.
Fourth of July Celebrations are an American Tradition. Take a minute and remember the men and women of our armed forces that sacrifice daily to make our nation the greatest nation in the world. If you would like to do more to show your support, the Disabled Americans Veterans Charitable Service Trust does amazing work to help our returning soldiers and there families. Have a great and safe holiday.
Personal protection is something that is often overlooked in today’s world, but is obviously one of the most important aspects of our life. With crime rates rising, its essential to have some sort of protection in hand in case the unexpected should occur. While you probably understand the importance of personal protection, you might not know what to do. Not everyone has the time or budget to learn hand-to-hand combat and not everyone wants to or can carry a gun. This means that we need another option to stop attackers in their tracks. This is where pepper spray comes into play.
Pepper spray has been around for awhile and is still one of the top self-defense products on the market. While pepper spray is effective by itself, a new product has emerged onto the scene that takes it to the next level. The Kimber “Guardian Angel” PepperBlaster is the next wave in pepper spray. It’s not just a pepper spray, but as the name implies, a “pepper blaster”. It packs a punch with its 90 mile per hour charge of near pharmaceutical grade OC (oleoresin capsicum) pepper spray. The power is unmatched in the industry and makes it virtually impossible to avoid. If someone attacks you while a PepperBlaster is in your hand, its safe to say, their day is pretty much over. They’re not getting out of the pain and agony that is associated with this device no matter how tough they are. They’ll be rolling around on the ground with their eyes swelled shut within seconds. One blast from the PepperBlaster will cause the mucus membranes in there throat to swell, making it difficult to breath as well as immediate swelling and watering in there eyes. And if that is not enough, as soon as the fluid comes in contact with the skin it produces an unbearable burning sensation.
The power of a PepperBlaster is contributed to a revolutionary jet delivery system. When discharged the fluid travels at an amazing 90 mph making it impossable to dodge and powerful enough to travel through any wind or adverse circumstances. Sometimes, glasses or a mask of some sort can shield against traditional pepper spray dispensers. With the Kimber PepperBlaster, you’ll never have to worry about that happening. It’s powerful enough to get around these eye protections and get right where you need it to. Your attacker will not know what hit them.
The Kimber PepperBlaster comes in a compact little dispenser with a built on belt hook making it easy to carry and contains two doses of the OC spray. If you miss with the first shot, you can actually pull the trigger again for another dose. It also has a break away plastic trigger guard to prevent accidental discharge. The PepperBaster has a range of 13ft and the effects last up to 45 minutes.
Your safety is one thing that you can’t afford to gamble with. If you don’t feel comfortable walking in your neighborhood, the Kimber “Guardian Angel” PepperBlaster is something that you should take a look at. It’s smart design and powerful capabilities make it a revolution in the protection industry. Oh and by the way, here is a pretty funny story/testimonial for the Kimber PepperBlaster. Take a minute and read this it will make your day. Report on Kimber Life Act Guardian Angel PepperBlaster
Do you have a teen driver in your family and want to know exactly where they have been? Do you have an employee in a company vehicle that you want to keep tabs on but do not want to try to squeeze another monthly bill into your already overstretched budget. Today, there is an excellent device that can deliver on all these duties. It is the H5100 Passive GPS Vehicle Tracking Device and it is, without a doubt, one of the very best GPS devices on the market.
What makes this GPS tracker such an excellent product? There are many reasons and they are all well worth exploring. First of all with a passive GPS Tracker, there are no monthly monitoring fees. All data is stored on the device and then simply downloaded to your computer. The software that is provided includes animated, digital street maps where the user may review all or portions of a trip. The path is clearly identified and color-coded to isolate various speeds. The path traveled and the stops can also be displayed on the popular Google Earth program. This is also a very thorough device. It keeps track of the positioning of a vehicle every second of the day. There are no blackout spots where the vehicle will be undetectable. That means you can reliably track the vehicles path every stage of a trip. This is probably the best attribute of this particular device.
Another huge positive to the H5100 GPS Vehicle Tracking Device is the fact that it can be easily placed either inside or outside the vehicle. The unit is water resistant and features a built on, extremely powerful magnet that will allow it to be attatched to any part of the metal frame without fear of it being dislodged with a bump or jolt. The H5100 GPS Vehicle Tracking Device is battery powered by two AA batteries that can yield up to 80 hours of power. When the car is not in use, the device will go into a sleep mode that will conserve power. This, in turn, makes the device quite cost efficient. 100 hours of recorded data can be saved before the log has to be downloaded and actually, it could even be used as a means of justifying expense deductions. This is yet another great benefit to a truly excellent electronic device.
