Car Safety Ratings: What Do They Mean?

Every car commercial tells you that their car has a five-star safety rating. Does this score really mean anything? What tests are being performed and who does the measuring?

The Organizations

In the United States, there are two organizations that score cars on safety ratings, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The NHTSA is run by the Department of Transportation and is sometimes called the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) or the government five star rating.

Frontal Collision Ratings

The NHTSA gets its data by running a car directly into a wall at 35 mph. The IIHS does a different test, where the impact is offset, and not directly in the middle. The IIHS test does a better job of mimicking real-life accidents. While most cars do well in directly head-on collisions, most real-life collisions are offset.

The NHTSA scores with five stars. Five stars means that there is ten percent or less chance of injury. Injury is defined as something life-threatening or for which you will need immediate hospitalization. Four stars is between eleven and twenty percent chance of injury. Three stars is between twenty-one and thirty-five percent chance.

The IIHS score is not in a five star format. They rate a vehicle as Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Poor.

The NHTSA and the IIHS scores should be looked at in conjunction with one another. Remember, both these scores only rate what would happen if you collide with another vehicle the same size as yours. However, many crashes involve only one-vehicle, so these tests are useful.

Side-Impact Ratings

Again, the NHTSA and IIHS uses different side-impact tests. The NTSA crashes a giant beam into the side of a car and measures the shock on two male-sized dummies. They then make a star rating based on the chance of chest injury to the dummies. Five stars means less than 5% chance of injury, four stars is 6%-10%, and 3 stars is 11%-20%. They don’t gage the damage to the head in this star rating, but if they think that it is excessively dangerous, they will add a safety note to their report.

The IIHS uses dummies that represent adolescents or small-statured women. This helps assess the safety of people other than men in the car. They also use a larger beam. They score their rating based on injury to the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and femur. This is arguably a more comprehensive test than the NHTSA test.

Rollover Ratings

The NHTSA is the only company that does Rollover ratings. Rollovers are often the most fatal type of accident. The NHTSA measures the chance of a car rolling with no external catalyst, and the chance of it happening for a reason (hitting a shallow ditch, hitting the curb, going onto the shoulder). 95% of rollovers are “tripped,” and have some external element.

Recent NHTSA testing has proven what we know about SUVs being much more likely to rollover than sedans or other cars.

Low-Impact Bumper Test

The IIHS performs a low-impact bumper test to see how much repairs would cost you if you gently hit something by accident. They rate the cars accordingly. Although this is not necessarily a safety rating, it will tell you what you can expect for possible repairs for your car and is something to keep in mind while purchasing a car.

When you shop

Considering the safety ratings of cars is important. But it is also important to know how these ratings are measured so that you can make the most informed decision about your purchase. Maybe you want your car to be cool, or to be functional, but most of all you want it to be safe.

Sexual Infidelity Like ‘Comfort Food,’ Says Investigator

It may not pass scientific muster, but a leading private investigator has developed a theory linking financial hardship such as that experienced during a recessive economy, with an increase in marital infidelity.

Likening it to other actual, proven science, the recipe for Mark McAlpin’s adultero solatium (the Latin words for unfaithful marriage partner and compensation, or solace) theory combines raw numbers from his own investigative practice with a bit of arm-chair psychology and an unmeasured pour of biochemistry. Admittedly a scientific lay person, the PI says he has been rolling this theory around in his head for years, and the numbers have consistently evinced his hypothesis.

The theory basically builds on the well-known reliance of stressed or distressed people on the relief found in their indulgence in ‘comfort food.’

“The human body wants to feel good. When people face physical, emotional or even mental pain or stress, they normally engage in activities that will either remove the pain or counter it with pleasure. Chocolate, ice cream, booze, a hot bath or log massage, illegal drugs, pick your poison,” he said. “Diluted to it’s simplest explanation it’s all about brain chemistry. The serotonin effect is a pleasurable response to a situation. People naturally want to feel good. The worse they feel, the greater their desire to feel good. People who are stressed out, upset or worse, actively seek out pleasure to dull the pain. The worse the pain, the more powerful the trigger for pleasure. The most powerful triggers are associated with the greatest pleasures: food, drugs and sex. This theory is only different from the accepted psychological responses in that it rightly includes the sexual and/or emotional pleasure sought from people other than the afflicted’s significant other.”

McApin’s theory is based solely on data he’s culled from his skip tracing website http://Cellulartrace.com. The site, which offers reverse lookup phone number traces, has always counted infidelity investigations among its customer’s top reasons for ordering his services. But the investigator says search requests based on suspicions of a cheating spouse have greatly increased during periods of economic stress. He has also mapped increased search requests from geographical areas particularly effected by negative economic factors.

“The post 9/11 economy absolutely buried us with requests,” McAlpin recalls.

Although customers don’t always confess the reason for the investigations they request, McAlpin says trends are pretty easy to spot.

“When the vast majority of searches are suddenly women asking you to investigate other women, it is pretty clear what is happening. When investigations involving people seeking info on people of their same sex jumps from 70 to 90 percent in the weeks following 9/11 or a ton of new customers from the Palo Alto area spring up after the first round of HP lay offs, it’s pretty hard to dismiss the trends,” he said.

McAlpin said he has seen similar increases in cell phone lookup requests in other geographical areas following disasters and major layoffs or plant closings.

“There are obviously smaller examples of this, but I don’t look into every increase from every area. There are clearly layoffs, factory closings and fires and other disasters all over the country. I’m sure the theory is exemplified in those situations, as well,” said McAplin.

It has been statistically shown that in the vast majority of suspected infidelities, the suspected parties were in fact cheating. It stands to reason then, that the more suspicion of infidelity, as evinced by such requests for information for that stated purpose, the more actual cheating in that area. And with a spike in cheating following an economic or emotional blast, the benefit of whatever doubt is sure to come from professionals in the field of the human psyche should certainly be given to the adultero solatium theory.

The lack of definitive detail and corroborating outside evidence supporting the theory will surely lead some to dismiss the merits of the hypothesis. But McAlpin says this doesn’t bother him in the least.

“I have no plans to write a dissertation on this, I just find it interesting. If this theory helps someone discover a potential infidelity, or better yet avoid hanging a scarlet ‘A’ on themselves or seeing one on their spouse, great. If those in the behavioral field see some merit, maybe someone will conduct some research that will bear the seal of scientific approval. For me it is just an interesting footnote to the way I track business trends,” he said.

The investigator’s popular website http://Cellulartrace.com has helped thousands with infidelity advice including recognizing the signs of a cheating spouse, how to catch them, and the phone number tracing investigations he specializes in.

The Golden Girls (Season 1) DVD Review

Making its debut in the fall of 1985, The Golden Girls quickly established itself as a fixture of Saturday night prime time television. Following the lives of four older women living together as roommates in Miami, the show displayed a raw wit and a biting humor. The women live in the house of Blanche Devereaux (Rue McClanahan), a Southern belle who loves men of every kind and has dated every eligible bachelor in the Miami area. Her roommates are former high school teacher Dorothy Zbornak (Bea Arthur) and St. Olaff housewife and widower Rose Nylund (Betty White). Rose loves to tell stories about her former hometown, much to the chagrin of the other girls. The three are joined by Dorothy’s mother, the firebrand Sophia Petrillo (Estelle Getty), a spunky Italian immigrant who always speaks her mind. In her early 80’s, Sophia may walk at a measured pace, but the velocity of her sarcasm only increases with age.

Overall, this is a charming situation comedy with likeable characters who have certainly developed their own unique identities. Although some of the same aspects of the show tend to be used over and over again (such as the St. Olaff stories and Dorothy’s reaction to them), The Golden Girls never seems to grow tiresome. With powerful performances from each of the cast members, viewers will find that Sophia steals the show…

The Golden Girls DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the series premiere “The Engagement” in which Sophia Petrillo moves in with her daughter Dorothy and her two roommates, Blanche and Rose, after a fire destroys her retirement home, Shady Pines. Meanwhile, Rose develops a bad feeling when Blanche’s boyfriend Harry proposes… Other notable episodes include “The Competition” in which Dorothy and Blanche enter into a heated bowling competition with Rose and Sophia, and “The Operation” in which Dorothy is forced to undergo surgery on her foot. Feeling scared and sorry for herself, she develops a new outlook on life after her encounter with an inspirational hospital roommate…

Improve your Spanish with Telenovelas!

Yes, it’s true. One hour a night with a Spanish soap opera can improve your Spanish!

So you studied Spanish in high school, but you can’t speak a word of it. Or maybe you spoke Spanish at home with your family, your vocabulary is limited and you’re not sure of your grammar. Now you want to improve your Spanish, but the thought of heading into a Spanish classroom makes you cringe. And besides, who has the time?

Don’t worry, the solution is right at your fingertips - literally - as you take hold of your TV remote control, your radio dial, your computer keyboard, and a host of books and magazines that you never even dreamed you could read. With just a little background in the language, a Spanish-English dictionary, and the tips below, you can increase your fluency without ever setting foot in a Spanish class. And all at no cost to you!

Not that there’s anything wrong with Spanish classes, of course - on the contrary, if you can find a college evening course or an adult school class that fits your schedule, you will improve your Spanish even faster. But these same tips apply even if you’re taking a Spanish class, and they will dramatically increase your learning.

The key to learning any language is to immerse yourself in that language as much as possible. Think about how you learned to speak English as a child. You probably listened to English for at least two full years before you started to speak even a few words. But you understood much more than you could say, and eventually you learned how to speak. You had absorbed so much of the language that it started to come out naturally.

So why not re-create this type of immersion environment in your own home, to learn Spanish? You can do it with the most basic resources, at little or no cost to you. And it’s not even a chore; it’s fun!

Just follow these five easy tips for improving your Spanish on your own:

1. Get hooked on a telenovela.

You might think you should be watching the Spanish news to learn better Spanish. Wrong! When have you ever heard a conversation that sounded like a Dan Rather sentence? And do you want to be able to recite facts or have a conversation? Most of us are learning Spanish so that we can communicate and have conversations with Spanish speakers. Telenovelas are 100% dialogue - pure conversation. The situations are easily understandable (and often funny, either inadvertently or on purpose), and the actors always speak clearly.

Pick a telenovela that is on at a time that’s convenient for you and that you can watch every day. And just start watching. Stick with it; eventually you will get to know the characters and their situations. Watching conversations in context will help you understand what’s going on, and soon you will be picking up sentences and phrases. Keep a notepad close by to jot down any new words that pique your interest, and look them up later, either online or in your Spanish dictionary.

And don’t worry about getting “hooked” forever. Unlike U.S. soap operas, Spanish telenovelas only run about six months, and they actually have an ending.

2. Listen to the music

Shakira, Shakira … she makes a man want to speak Spanish …. and women too, actually!

How many songs can you sing in languages that you don’t speak? Probably more than you realize. How about Frere Jacques? Guantanamera?

Never underestimate the power of music in language learning. Sing along with a song, and you are speaking that language. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the words; you are picking up the rhythm, phrasing and accent of the language. You can figure out the words and the meaning later.

We are fortunate to live in a country in which every major area has one or more Spanish language radio stations. Keep your car radio tuned to one of them. And if you hear a song or an artist that you particularly like, buy it for your mp3 player so that you can listen to it as much as possible. At the same time, download the lyrics from the internet, and use your Spanish dictionary to help you understand the meaning.

3. Read all about it!

Yes, you can read in Spanish. It doesn’t matter how little or how much Spanish you have had. Pick up a Spanish language magazine or newspaper and just look it over. Even better, find a magazine or book that relates to your particular interest. All the major bookstores now have a “Libros en Español” section, as well as People en Español and many other Spanish language magazines and newspapers. Pick out your reading selection, borrow a Spanish-English dictionary if you want, and spend an hour or so in the bookstore’s café with your books, a cafécito, and a willingness to explore.

Here is the most important part: don’t worry about the words you don’t know. Focus on the words you do know, or can figure out. How many words can you recognize because they look like a word in English? Which ones can you figure out from their context? Can you guess the general meaning of the article? Of the words you don’t understand, pick four or that you think are really crucial to the article, and look them up. Then read through the article again. If you want, write your new words down on index cards so you can flip through them later during a free moment.

4. Let’s go surfin’ now ….

The internet is your free ticket to limitless language practice! Take a few minutes each day to explore outstanding resources such as online newspapers, videos, and articles on whatever your passion is. Use your Spanish dictionary to help you decide a keyword to search.

You can also find free sites for Spanish instruction. Here’s where you can get your grammar practice at your own pace. One excellent and free site is http://www.studyspanish.com.

5. Take it to the streets

You will be amazed at the connections that can come from a simple “Hola, Buenos días.”

Seek out opportunities to connect with native Spanish speakers - every opportunity you get - every day! Maybe you have a relative who speaks Spanish, or a co-worker, or a neighbor, or maybe you’re just sitting next to someone on the bus or subway and you realize that person speaks Spanish. Just smile and say a simple greeting in Spanish. You’re likely to end up in a short and pleasant conversation; if not, at the very least, you’ve made a friendly gesture and will make someone smile.

Don’t worry about being fluent. Just be open to communicating! After all, isn’t that why you want to learn Spanish? And chances are, you will receive compliments and encouragement for your efforts.

And who knows, you might even end up in a conversation discussing the latest telenovela, Shakira’s newest hit song, or an article you just read in Spanish. Bravo! You are on your way!

Does Technology Help Or Hurt Attracting Desireable Sexy Women?

Sometimes I just have to laugh at the lengths some guys go to in order to avoid face to face contact with a real live sexy women. Guys tell me things like, “I emailed her” or “I texted her” or “I instant messaged her” or “I left a message on her voicemail while she was gone,” and all kinds of other stuff.

Then they want to know why sexy women don’t respond to them.

Understand this: while there are proper uses of technology, attraction is, and always will be an in person thing. The faster you go to meeting–and spending time–with sexy women, the better off you’ll be.

Technology has its uses, no doubt. The internet can be a great way to attract desireable sexy women you’d otherwise never meet, and things like emails, instant messages, text messaging and phone calls can be a great supplement to face to face meetings–but not a substitute.

Too many guys want to hide behind technology, using it as a shield to put off a face to face meeting as long as possible, simply because they’re scared of being rejected by the sexy women that everyone desires.

Your goal when you first attract sexy women is to meet them in person as soon as possible–nothing can substitute for that… now and in the future.

John Alanis has created the ultimate system to attract desireable women, regardless of your age, status, or looks. He runs the website, http://www.womenapproachyou.com , and his blog at http://www.johnalanis.com.

Breastfeeding Pros And Cons

No matter how you look at it, breastfeeding is the best feeding alternative to keep your child healthy and strong. Breast milk, according to the experts, contains proteins, fats, and antibodies that help protect your child from infection and disease. It also provides your child with enzymes that help with his or her digestion.

Yet no matter how long the list of benefits is, there are still some mothers who can not do it because of time constraints or low milk production. Others combine formula feeding and breast milk. There are no disadvantages to breastfeeding. Rather, there are factors that may prevent some mothers from breastfeeding. Here are several of the Pros and cons of breastfeeding:

PROS:

1. Breast milk contains such nutrients as vitamins, minerals, and an enzyme that aids in digestion and prevents diarrhea.

2. Breast milk contains antibodies that help babies fight off infections like otitis media and respiratory problems like meningitis and bronchitis. It has been found to reduce the incidence and intensity of atopic diseases. Babies who breastfeed tend to suffer from colds less frequently and have fewer incidents of colic.

3. Breastfeeding protects babies against Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), as well as sepsis in pre-term babies.

4. Breast milk is free — you save a lot of money not having to buy formula.

5. The high protein content of breast milk aids in the development of the baby’s brain and may led to higher IQ (as mentioned by a study which claims that breastfeeding can add as much as eight more points to the baby’s IQ).

6. Breastfeeding helps moms lose weight and get back to their pre-pregnancy size.

7. Breastfeeding strengthens the bond between mother and baby

8. Breastfeeding lowers the mother’s risk of developing pre-menopausal breast and ovarian cancer.

9. Breast milk protects children from developing food allergies.

10. Breastfeeding helps the uterus return to its pre-pregnancy size.

11. Breastfeeding is effective in combating postpartum depression

12. Breastmilk is convenient and readily available

CONS:

1. Blood-borne viruses and diseases like Hepatitis B and HIV can sometimes be passed on from parent to child through breast milk. It is important that mothers have a thorough check-up prior to breastfeeding.

2. Babies who breastfeed need to be fed more frequently than those who drink formula.

3. Pumping milk can be difficult and sometimes painful. It requires somewhat expensive pumps and numerous bottles.

4. Breastfeeding can occasionally be painful for the mother. A few women develop wounds and soreness on their nipples due to the baby’s strong sucking reflex.

5. Babies who breastfeed sleep for shorter periods of time than babies on formula.

6. There are times when a mother just doesn’t produce enough milk. Some mothers produce less milk than others. This is why there are mothers who opt to combine breast- and formula feeding.

It is clear that, nutritionally speaking, breastmilk is best for your child. Unfortunately, while breastfeeding is ideal, it is not something that some mothers can do. Examine your options carefully when deciding between breastfeeding and formula feeding, and get advice from a physician or a lactation consultant. Ultimately, only you know which choice is best for you.

Feel Great, Sleep Better and Stay Healthier with highly recommended all natural vitamin supplements!

Hi,

Would you like a simple, yet effective way to feel great and stay healthy? Experiencing a lack of energy and just feeling drained?

My name is Max Woody and I’d like to share some great information that could change your life for the better.

It’s about a company I found a few years ago that produces the best all natural vitamin products available today. This company has thousands of satisfied customers in over 30 countries worldwide, including myself.

For years I’ve searched for a better vitamin supplement and finally found what I feel is the best all natural vitamin supplement available. Compared to others, these supplements are very reasonable in price.

For the past 2 years I’ve noticed a big change in my over all health while taking these supplements. First of all I’m 41 years old and work about 50 hours a week, so it’s not always easy to eat healthy foods or exercise every day.

I’ve experienced problems with high cholesterol over the years until I started taking my Men’s Plus vitamins. After taking them for about 6 months, my cholesterol was retested and amazingly the levels went down to normal again.

About 1 week after taking these supplements, I noticed a big change in the way I feel. My energy level increased and I’ve also noticed a big difference in the way I sleep at night. I don’t have problems with falling asleep and wake up feeling much more refreshed.

I’ve recommended these products to both family members and friends over the years. They’ve also experienced positive results and were very pleased with the products.

These vitamins come in both Men and Women’s formulas. They contain about 80 nutrients, most of which are rarely found in other supplements. The company also offers excellent all natural weight loss products as well.

These vitamins include nutrients shown to be helpful in preventing degenerative diseases common to both men and women. They contain vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, neuronutrients, bioflavonoids, carotonoids, herb extracts and enzymes, to name a few.

The problem I found with everyday vitamins sold through health food stores is the absorption process. Studies have shown that up to 50% or more of traditional supplements fail to get absorbed into a persons system.

Many of the nutrients found in every day vitamins get flushed from peoples systems, instead of getting absorbed into the body were they are needed. This is one reason people notice a bright yellow color in their urine while taking vitamins that are not effective.

This company has solved that problem with a unique delivery system for their products. They are produced with a special “enteric coating” that releases all nutrients in the upper intestine. This ensures a 100% bioavailability and ensures that you get the total benefit of the products your taking.

To get complete details on these products, including a list of ingredients and much more, visit their website at: http://www.xtend-life.com/index.php?id=973604

Max Woody has taken these all natural products for over 2 years now. While experiencing very positive results, he has recommended them to both family members and friends. Try them out for yourself, the company offers a 100% customer satisfaction policy. Visit their website to get complete details at: http://www.xtend-life.com/index.php?id=973604

One Thing To Know When You’re Recruiting A Woman…

Over the years, most sales people approach men and women the same way -whether they’re marketing a product, service or a business.

But research has shown this is a mistake.

If a female prospect says yes, she’s interested in making some extra income from home, the guy will typically launch into how much he’s made, how great the company is, generally strutting his stuff. Kind of like a peacock displaying his feathers. This might work with another guy, but not with a woman.

With a woman, you lead with HER, not you. No matter how much you’ve earned. When women meet each other, they don’t brag about their accomplishments like guys do when they meet. Women ask about the other woman, and usually talk about their shared problems and how the other woman is dealing with them.

So begin by asking her a few questions first…in effect leading with her instead of you. Then you’ll know how to present your opportunity.

Listen to the answers because that will tell you whether to continue or not. Remember only 1/100 people have an interest in ANY kind of commission sales.

That includes people looking for something at home. No dragging or begging. Here are a few questions that show her you know how to talk to her.

1. Ideally what are you looking for? What do you enjoy doing?

2. Are you looking for something part time or a career change?

3. How much time can you put into something and about how much are you looking to earn?

These get you started. (More questions and recruiting scripts here.) Depending on what she says, you can fashion the options around what and how much she wants to do.

It’s not about what you wish she’d do.

Kim Klaver is Harvard & Stanford educated. Her 20 years experience in network marketing have resulted in a popular blog, http://KimKlaverBlogs.com, a podcast, http://YourGreatThing.com and a giant resource site, http://BananaMarketing.com.

The Morning after a Threesome

What can you do “The Morning After” a threesome to avoid negative feelings

After she’s gone, it’s time for you and your partner to connect with each other, talk about the experience and re-live together what you’ve accomplished! This is the time to bring out your feelings and tell each other honestly how the experience was. It’s also the time to compliment each other as much as possible about what you just accomplished. From this moment the female in the seducing couple becomes the “queen of the world” and the male’s duty is to spoil her rotten for days to come. This works in his favor, because it’ll be an incentive for her to allow you to experience more threesomes!

A small tip that will simply show your thoughtfulness as a couple towards your friend is to send her a bouquet of flowers the next day with a nice but naughty card telling her how grateful you both are and how special she is. Mention that you’ll never forget that beautiful night.

Important Considerations

Make sure you leave the door really open for her to come back, however don’t assume that just because it happened once it will happen again. Now the ball is on her court. Respect her choice and avoid assuming that just because she slept with you, you have a relationship! Single women react differently every time, so it’s virtually impossible to give you a recipe. My advice is that you play it by ear; next time you both see her embrace her tender, but don’t try to jump on top of her right away with a passionate French kiss. As a woman, meeting your friend again after that night act totally cool and natural about it and reinforce that it was a wonderful night. By no means display any feelings of uncertainty or confusion. If she sees you’re comfortable and confident she’ll consider returning, this will show her that you’re a mature couple where she can seek refugee and with whom she can explore her erotic fantasies with ease and confidence.

I’ve heard many comments of people who’ve just experienced a threesome and interesting enough they swing on a scale from “the best sexual experience of my life” to “highly overrated” to “it screwed up the relationship with my friend.” This reminds me of the roller coaster ride in the amusement park… some people get on it and have the time of their life and others come down throwing up and are sick for the rest of the day. Same experience, but complete reactions.

Why does this happen? Well, simple; FOCUS. If they focus on the shakes and turns and go against the flow because of fear, they will get sick, however if they let themselves go and immerse themselves in the fun, they’ll love the ride! Threesomes are the same, if you’re a responsible person and you simply want to explore your hedonistic urges and go with the flow, always looking ahead, then you’ll have a great time. However if you behave irresponsibly, don’t follow the right advice and do the wrong things you won’t enjoy it. The choice is yours and only yours.
