Brake-O-Rama auto mechanics follow all the trends in auto safety news. Many New Jersey drivers want to know how the new hybrid safety compare to other automobiles. One of our Brake-O-Rama auto mechanics in Lodi New Jersey found this excellent article online and brought it to our attention!</div>

Hybrid vehicles protect their occupants better in crashes than their regular gasoline counterparts, according to a report released by an affiliate of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
Research by the Highway Loss Data Institute shows that drivers and passengers in a hybrid are 25% less likely to be injured than those in the same model with a standard gasoline engine. And the death rate for drivers in hybrid crashes also was lower.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
The hybrid advantage is all about weight, it turns out. “Hybrids on average are 10% heavier than their standard counterparts,” says Matt Moore, HLDI vice president and author of the report. “This extra mass gives them an advantage in crashes.” When cars collide, the heavier vehicle tends to push the lighter one backwards, exerting greater force on the lighter vehicle and its occupants.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
To take an example, the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/toyota/highlander/2012/" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #743399; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Toyota Highlander Hybrid SUV</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>(pictured above) weighs 4,500 pounds — about 330 pounds more than the gasoline Highlander. The hybrid’s battery pack and other components account for the added weight.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
In researching the topic, HLDI looked at insurance injury claims from car crashes from 2002 through 2010. It compared only 28 situations where hybrid vehicles had a gasoline twin, such as the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/ford/fusion/2012/" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #743399; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Ford Fusion</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>sedan.

The HLDI findings run counter to the long-held belief that getting higher gas mileage means buying a smaller (and possibly less crash-worthy) car. “Saving at the pump no longer means you have to skimp on crash protection,” says Moore.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">

The study also found that while hybrids protect their occupants, they can be a greater threat to pedestrians — because when they are operating in electric-only mode, hybrid cars make no sound that pedestrians can hear. Hybrids may be as much as 20% more likely to be involved in accidents resulting in pedestrian injuries, HLDI found.</div>

This mostly good safety news about hybrids comes shortly after concerns over a fire involving the batteries in the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://autos.yahoo.com/chevrolet/volt/2012/" style="background-color: transparent; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #743399; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Chevrolet Volt</a>, GM’s plug-in electric model. About three weeks after a Volt was crashed as part of safety testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Volt battery caught fire in a NHTSA storage lot.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px 0px 24px; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
General Motors initially said that NHTSA technicians did not follow proper procedure for disabling the battery after a crash but then conceded that it had not developed those protocols until after the NHTSA test incident. NHTSA itself issued a statement saying it did not believe that plug-in electric cars were any less safe than conventional gasoline cars.</div>

There are many things for visitors to do in New York City. It’s the Capital of Everything, after all, whether you’re thinking of culinary delights, arts and culture, or anything else. It’s the nexus of worldwide communications and, thanks to the United Nations, the global political nerve center as well. But there is so much more about New York that escapes the typical tourist. <br /><br />One can easily take in all the sights and sounds of “tourist New York” in one day – or half an hour, if you choose to board serial entrepreneur <a href="http://zalmansilber.com/">Zalman Silber’s</a> Skyride at the Empire State Building, a simulated helicopter tour of iconic landmarks narrated by actor Kevin Bacon – but to see what makes New York truly special one ought to visit the so-called outer boroughs, particularly that of Queens County. <br /><br />For nowhere else in the world are so many diverse ethnicities to be found, right next to one another. The celebrated multiculturalism of New York is often segregated into ethnic enclaves, but in the great Borough of Queens even the ethnic enclaves are diverse. So, for example, one finds African-Americans in the middle of what’s regarded as one of the city’s three Chinatowns, Flushing – which neighborhood’s eastern reaches still host many observant Jewish families on handsome tracts of private houses. And though Asian faces are very prevalent in this part of the county, one will certainly find a barely less numerous presence of Latinos and those of European backgrounds. On the other side of the borough, the neighborhood of Sunnyside is also known as a mini-UN in itself, what with its Turkish, Romanian, and Nepalese restaurants. <br /><br />Indeed, Queens is the only borough other than <a href="http://zalmansilber.com/">Manhattan </a>itself where you can find such a wide variety of cuisine – with the difference that prices in Queens are geared towards the immigrant population, as are the tastes. You want white-glove service, stick to Manhattan’s pricey celebrity-endorsed haunts. For authentic “everyman fare” such as you would find in the actual countries of origin, look no further than the ethnic restaurants of Queens. <br /><br />The visual marvels belong mostly to Manhattan. With the exception of <a href="http://zalmansilber.com/">Flushing-Meadows Park</a><span style="text-align: center;">, site of two World’s Fairs, Queens is a county of burghers, of the middle-class and petite bourgeoisie. But if they could somehow put aromas on brochures, you can bet that Queens County would see a much greater share of tourist traffic! As it is, Queens remains the private preserve of culinary adventurers.</span></div>

<br />I like this exploration of how things influence us, and how it means that we become at total of all the experiences we have, whether we like it or not. A great concise shwoing of how that happens. Well Done!<br /><br />This is brilliant and insightful! I wouldn't change a thing. It is exactly how i feel when I discover a new (well,new to me) branch of history, new genre of books, or a form of art. Thank you for expressing that feeling of oneness to every new study in life<br /><br />This is how it all works!! Getting to the bottom of things requires getting there first, once there one becomes one with them. I am impressed by this relatively simple equation that you have put in place which is both effective and true at all times.<br /><br />You have a great gift for capturing much in the smallest of nets. One is then left to marvel at the valuable treasures therein. Excellent write and read!!! applauded<br /><br />Simple but efficient ! It pictures the stages one could go through once introduced to particular knowledge that one finds interest in , I suppose and when i met them ,i became them could be interpreted as the influence someone had upon you in a positive way .It could also be though them you identified something that you desired in life and wanted so badly to have .Once you saw that it is achieveble "i became them " .It.s as if when we see something we want in others we try to copy them or imitate them so we can have what they have to ! Hope this makes sense !<br /><br />the poem can be interpreted in a dark foreboding sense or in the Sufi tradition of 'Oneness'. </div>

<br />
<b><i>What is <a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">Dehydrated dog food</a>?</i></b><br />
<b><i><a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">Dehydrated dog food</a></i></b> is in its simplest form is referred to as dry dog food, but only until warm water is added to the dehydrated dog food mix and then the resulting dog food mix becomes a biologically appropriate dog food with the exact amount of water content recommended by the dog food nutritional experts, the added advantage on this dehydrated dog food is that the amount of water contained in the biologically appropriate dog food is in the exact amount of 70%, and this water content is the perfect for the individual dog’s metabolism as any less or more water content can be a cause for nutritional problems in the future – possibly liver and / or kidney problems, all dog food mixes must be represented of the dog’s natural dietary requirements which should as close as possible to the meat-eating diet of its carnivores descendants and this hydrated dog food – dehydrated dog food when mixed with the exact amount of water decidedly is replicated by as perfect a diet only as an alternative to eating a biologically appropriate raw diet – which in its self very difficult to assess exact proportions to suit the dogs dietary needs, so the first choice the dog nutritional experts would recommend is the biologically appropriate raw diet, which is at best very difficult to replicate, the perfect alternative for the dogs dietary needs would be the correctly hydrated dehydrated dog food.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>What is Good About <a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">Dehydrated Dog Food</a>?</u></i></b><br />
The main advantage of feeding your family dog <i><b><a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">Dehydrated Dog Food</a></b></i> is that the manufacturing process is consistent and specific, and the advantage lies in the fact that the dehydrated dog food has not been processed at high temperatures which has protected the essential nutrient, essential mineral and other essential vitamins content of the Hydrated dog food mix, so the essential ingredients that is so essential for the long term nutritional needs for your family dog is importantly safeguarded.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Dehydrated dog food</i></b> remains the closest to the essential ingredients of any manufactures dog food, because the essential ingredients of the dehydrated raw dog food remains in perfect condition so that the family dog benefit from the essential trace elements which is not destroyed in the manufacturing heating process and this range of dehydrated raw dog food is the best choice of dog food that a caring dog lover can give to their family dog, it is recommended that all family dogs should be fed the best and highest quality of dog food that perfectly replicates the natural food of the meat-eating carnivore and gives the family dog the essential minerals, essential vitamins and the essential trace elements, and avoid all other processed dog foods and the reasons are explained for you in the paragraph below.<br />
<br />
Processed dog food in comparison to <b><i><a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">dehydrated dog food</a></i></b> – in its raw state, is actually forced to be heat processed because of the un-nutritious and potential harmful bacteria which is very likely mixed in with processed dog food – the un-sterilized waste animal innards, the crushed waste bones with added un-natural ingredients so as to bind all of the mixed processed dog food together – in essence with all of the un-savoury ingredients contained within the processed dog food, then the extreme heating process used throughout the manufacturing process is entirely necessary to ensure the destruction of the possibly harmful bacteria, and it is for this reason alone that the processed dog food must be subject to very high temperatures so as to ensure that the potential harmful bacteria is destroying these essential trace elements even though the manufacturing process involves the destruction of essential ingredients the inferior processed dog food is still available and is being sold in the vast majority of the processed dog food departments of the Pet Supplies Stores.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>What is the Advantages of Feeding Your Dog Dehydrated Dog Food?</u></i></b><br />
As the first choice of <b><i>dehydrated dog food</i></b> from the dog nutritional experts are also based on the very important advantage of this type of food being very easily digestible and for the essential proteins which are readily available to the dog for example turkey, beef, chicken and fish in their own right are a luxury diet of the meat-eating carnivorous wild dogs, and with the added benefit from the naturally included essential minerals and the essential vitamins available to the dog in its natural state, then Dehydrated Dog Food is definitely the best choice and only second to the biologically appropriate raw dog food and this type of raw dog food is a difficult to formulate to the exact proportions of the various components relating to the various elements so the dog fed on the biologically appropriate dog food needs to replicate the exact combination of the daily essential nutrients, essential minerals, essential vitamins and exact proportions for bulk and reduction in the carbohydrate content – unless the dog is a working dog then the combinations need to be re-evaluated to suit. <b><i>Dehydrated Dog Food</i></b> is highly recommended for dog owners who received specific orders not to feed their dogs’ dog food with grain, and this is usually as a result of a transitional dog food after coming off a bland diet as a result of a Gastric Intestinal problem or even Pancreatitis and using Dehydrated Dog Food until capable of resuming their biologically appropriate raw dog food.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Is there a Set of Ingredients Contained in Dehydrated Raw Dog Food?</u></i></b><br />
Yes, and to ensure you feed your dog the highest consistency of <b><i><a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">Dehydrated Raw Dog Food</a></i></b>, then you need to ensure that the quality is consistent and the only sure way of ensuring the consistency of the dog food, check these ingredients is printed on the Hydrated Raw Dog Food Box – if shopping online for your hydrated raw dog food, then only shop at an online pet supplies store which offer an in-depth informational description of each pet supplies product – check out the DogSiteWorld Store and you will see that they offer an in-depth pet products description, with the honest reviews from previous buyers and their reviews are from pet lovers just like us, unfortunately there are many online dog supplies store who will offer very little product descriptions, so check the description before any online purchases, the List of ingredients is as follows:<br />
• Dehydrated Turkey<br />
• Organic Flaxseed<br />
<div>
• Potatoes<br />
• Carrots<br />
• Celery<br />
• Spinach<br />
• Organic Coconut<br />
• Apples<br />
• Organic Kelp<br />
• Eggs<br />
• Bananas<br />
<br />
The above ingredients are an excellent combination of raw foods in the natural form of dehydrated raw dog food – raw dog food which having been dried in its natural state with nothing added or nothing taken out by any processing method – un processed dog food; you will not get any better quality ingredients when the combination is in any type of prepared dog food especially when included within the recipe of <b><i><a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">Dehydrated Raw Dog Food</a></i></b>, remember this type of dog food available at online pet stores will usually include a more extended range and there should be expected to have a wide selection and usually the descriptions will be more exact certainly when shopping at a leading online pet supplies store.<br />
<br />
<i><u><b>What do I Need to Know when Feeding my <a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">Dog Dehydrated Dog Food</a>?</b></u></i><br />
Feeding your dog a mixed diet of <b><i>Dehydrated Dog Food</i></b> is like any other mixture of dog food and essential and specific to all dry dog food mixes, and that is to ensure that by feeding your dog any dry dog mix you must ensure that the dog food mixture must be adequately softened by adding at least 70% water to the mix and ensure that all the dry ingredients are moistened and of a paste consistency and this fine mix will be perfect for the dog – the dog nutritional experts suggest to avoid a dog having unlimited access to dry dog food in its un-moistened state, and only feeding the correct amount on a daily basis.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Will You Separate Myth From Fact and Evidence with Dehydrated Dog Food 1?</u></i></b><br />
There is one misconception that a dog who eats dry <a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank"><b><i>dehydrated dog food</i></b> </a>that their teeth will remain in perfect condition, unfortunately this is far from the truth, as the experts will argue that the only way for a dog to maintain an healthy set of teeth is that the dog will regularly participate in the shearing action from chewing on and biting bone-dense food, and it’s this consistent biting on dense bone type dog food that helps to maintain the cleaning action of the dog’s teeth.<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Will You Separate Misconception From Fact and Evidence with Dehydrated Dog Food 2?</u></i></b><br />
Another misconception is related to buying dog food which contains Grains, well Grains in dog food is only used to bulk up the dog food consistency with a cheap and plentiful ingredient, there is no evidence that dog food with grain is healthy, in fact many dog nutritional experts will warn against feeding your dog with dog food containing grain, as they recommend that all dog food given to your dog need to be grain-free and the ultimate dog food mix essential for your dogs’ health and well-being and the evidence suggests <b><i><a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">dehydrated raw dog food</a> is</i></b> the dog food mix which replicated the most natural dog food diet for your meat-eating carnivore.<br />

<br />
Getting healthy food for your dog is very important. We humans are becoming more cautious about what we eat; we are practicing healthy diet, why shouldn’t we think same about our pets. Eating unhealthy food can cause health problems like gaining extra weights, heart problems, etc… <a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">Low calorie dog food</a> can be a good solution for your dog food, for the long time the manufacturers of dog food kept using same ingredients they were using since the start of creating the dog food manufacturing processing plants and the initial ingredient then included the sub-human waste food, like the most un-useful and least nutritious and far from appetizing human food waste, then using these waste ingredients and combining these ingredients with other innards from the discarded human food chain and then incorporating this putrid mix into the dog food processing collection and to add cheap and useless bulk to the dog food mix the dog food processing collection included the waste bones and gristle being ground into a fine powder with water added would represent something similar to a paste and this nasty concoction would be sold as high grade dog food. This dog food concoction inventing since the beginning dog manufacturing of the developed countries was only changed to offer the nutritious needs of the family dog and especially the gourmet type of luxury dog food which now offer the modern family dog with an excellent content rich and higher quality gourmet dog food choice, and now enriched with the essential minerals and the essential vitamins. So now, since humans are more selective of the foods which they consume combined with the inherent value of the food on the nutritious value to the human body, so are the discerning family members who are responsible for the family budget, are becoming even more particular and conscious of the beneficial ingredients to the precious family dog companions. And because of the changes of the dog food manufacturing processes out well-loved family dog are now generally becoming more health conscious and the family dogs are now becoming not only healthy but also full of vitality, but even so the family member responsible for buying the family dog’s dog food, dog accessories and the other edible dog products must be aware that some dog supplies manufacturers still refuse yield to the modern day high standards of dog food production and remain selling cheap dog food and very similar to the dog food concoction as produced many decades ago and this cheap and unhealthy and of very poor nutritious value, although cheap and nasty, is still bought by the unwary family members and not necessarily realize the damage the sub-standard dog food has in the medium and long term of the family dog. When buying your dog food you must ensure that you are buying your edible pet supplies from the most trusted online pet supplies store, and this buying can ensure the you are given the in-depth details and information on the contents of the preferred high quality edible dog products and because you will be buying your dog products online you will also be guaranteed to be offered the best prices available as the online stores benefit from less overheads that now seem to be crippling the high street pet supplies stores. There is now no reasonably excuse to deny feeding your family dog a less nutritious with less essential vitamins and less essential vitamins, as by buying your essential dog supplies online the higher quality and content rich edible dog supplies will work out cheaper in the long term as the highest quality dog food contains the necessary daily quota of essential minerals and vitamins and maintain the family dog in good health and resist the intervention from the animal health care providers, so mow is the time to take advantage that the manufacturers has started to make edible pet supplies a lot more healthy food for your family pet. <br />

<b>Benefits of Low Calorie Dog Food</b><br />
Most of the peoples are aware of the importance and benefits of high quality, <a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">low calorie dog food</a> because of increasing obesity problems in dogs. But the importance of the good quality, high protein diet is usually overlooked. It’s a well-known fact that dog can handle more protein than a human can, but it is also important to not feed more than required protein in the dog food. Low calorie dog food is manufactured keeping this fact in mind; these control the nutrients and protein consumption. You can feed your dog exactly as much calories as needed, so no worry of gaining extra pounds. High protein low calorie food helps in the development and growth of muscles, also helps to boost the immune system and repair from any injuries. Most important benefit of low calorie dog food is that your dog will not get obese and it automatically prevents lots of disease, even if your dog has gain some extra weight it will help your dog to lose that extra weight.<br />
<br />
<b>Clear Low Calorie Some Misconceptions</b><br />
Many people believe that high protein low calorie dog food can contribute to weight and kidney problems to the dog. But the fact is, a dog is descended for wolves and their bodies can handle more proteins than a human body can. So, don’t worry your dog will not have any problem because of this diet. This issue can be studied from an excellent research which confirms that these misconceptions are false, read the following report and it has some fascinating conclusions, so refer to this excellent and revealing scientific report (Drs. Foster and Smith, “<a href="http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=0+1770&aid=1104" target="_blank">Are High Protein Diets Harmful to a Dog’s Kidneys?</a>”) written by one of the most knowledgeable dog food scientific experts available today.<br />
<br />
<b>Some Advice Concerning Low Calorie Dog Food</b><br />
The amount of calories required for the dog can vary drastically. According to a research, recently broadcasted in the Journal of the American Veterinary Association, a dog should have up to 200cal. per suggested level. SO if your dog eats 3 cupful’s of dry dog food per day, then it mean that he or she is having extra 400 unnecessary calories per day and when this large amount of unnecessary calories are counted over the average month, then you can understand why the dog health care providers are very concerned of the potential damage to your lovely family dog when this excess weight can present the normally healthy family dog in later life causes hip and joint problems from just carrying the extra weight and the resulting unnecessary cash being spent on the necessary medication required to alleviate the very painful inflammation in the family dog hips and the joints. These low calorie foods will reduce the amount of extra calories you dog is eating.<br />
<br />
My canine companion Bella has suffered all her life with weight problem due to her thyroid condition, and guess what the weight problems is now responsible for her deteriorating joint and hip usability, and her illnesses is becoming a financial commitment on the family budget. Low calorie dog food worked but they must be used in conjunction with other valid recommendations in the Journal of the American Veterinary Association set out below, only using <a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">low calorie dog food</a> diet alone does not provide great results they must be used with the top two top primary remedies and the other important suggestions given below. Here are two top remedies which I have discovered for my Bella and it worked amazingly:<br />
<br />
<i>• Portion Control<br /><br />• Regular Exercise</i><br />
<br />
Apart from low calorie food you should take you dog on a walk every day, as your dog gets more fit increase the walking distance.<br />
<br />
There is a debate going on since past few years, if the low calorie dog food is good for dog or not. Some people do not agree with the use of low calorie food and, some are using it and witnessing the improvement. But my theory is simple, when we humans get extra weight, we go for low calorie food and exercise to lose that extra weight and then we must continue consuming the low calorie food to maintain the low body weight and live a healthy and full of vitality lifestyle, the exact advice from the American Veterinary Association agrees with these healthy principles so what advice is good enough for us humans and must be good enough for other family pets possibly family cats – although more research must reveal the hidden truth in healthy feeding for cats, but certainly for dog food and other edible dog supplies the evidence of feeding low calories dog food certainly reveals that this advice goes for the beautiful and loving family dogs.Ann N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16190159306485400091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779031158652504498.post-36132717162731881112012-10-09T00:36:00.001-07:002012-10-09T00:36:20.547-07:00Why is Correct Feeding of Dog Food Important to your Family Dog?<b><a href="http://dogsiteworld.com/" target="_blank">Why is Correct Feeding of Dog Food Important to your Family Dog?</a></b><br />

In many cases, maid of honor duties make a maid of honor or matron of honor busier than the bride herself. The maid of honor duties can be classified into pre-wedding, wedding and post wedding stages. Here we shall take a look at all the maid of honor duties during the pre wedding phase.<br /><br />• Maid of honor duties commence from the moment one gets a confirmation from the bride that she is going to be the maid of honor or matron of honor. The first few maid of honor duties would be to work with the bride and her family to get the list of invitees’ right. Making suggestions, pinpointing those who have been missed and also trying to organize the entire exercise are integral to maid of honor duties.<br /><br />• Shopping with the bride is mandatory for a matron of honor. Not only would shopping for the bride or herself be one of the maid of honor duties but also ensuring that the dresses, jewelry and all accessories are in place for all the bridesmaids and the entire bridal gang.<br /><br />• Playing an active role during the phases when the cake is being ordered, the cards are being selected, the invitations are being sent out and all such activities are significant maid of honor duties.<br /><br />• One of the most important maid of honor duties is to organize a bridal shower. Now, a matron of honor can organize it herself or one can team up with a few bridesmaids to do the same. The latter is less hassle and most maids of honor opt for that.<br /><br />• Throwing a bachelorette party is also one of the maid of honor duties. A matron of honor may or may not be obligated to do the same but if one has a perception that because of being married, a matron of honor cannot organize a bachelorette party then you can rest assured that it is perfectly alright.<br /><br />• Handling logistics is often a part of maid of honor duties. A matron of honor may have to be completely available during the pre wedding days when guests are arriving and putting up at hotels or at the house of the bride and attending to all of them are also among the maid of honor duties.<br /><br />• Attending all pre wedding parties are also integral to maid of honor duties.Ann N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16190159306485400091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779031158652504498.post-45616115816169835712012-08-05T19:08:00.000-07:002012-08-05T19:09:47.023-07:00Writing The Ideal Maid Of Honor Speech<a href="http://maidofhonordutiesguide.com/maid-of-honor-speech/">Maid of honor speech</a> or that for the matron of honor is one of the most significant events in a wedding. If you are donning the responsibilities of a maid of honor speech or a matron of honor speech then you certainly would want to get the speech right. First, there is a need to understand the subtle difference between maid of honor and a matron of honor. A maid of honor is the best friend or a sister of the bride who is unmarried. A matron of honor is a close friend, sister or a relative of the bride who has been married. Almost every bride would have a maid of honor but it is often seen that a maid of honor is also accompanied by a matron of honor. The reason to know the difference is to get the ideal speech for the couple and what would perfectly suit you. Since there is a difference in the marital status, there are a few things that can be penned down in a maid of honor speech but not in that of the matron of honor and vice versa.<br /><br />Writing the ideal maid of honor speech or that of matron of honor requires four important steps.<br /><br />• The moment you get to know that you would have to prepare the maid of honor speech, you must start working on it. A matron of honor or maid of honor speech must never be left for the last minute. If you think you can be spontaneous on the big day or night and pull things off then it’s a different story otherwise you have to start working.<br /><br />• A maid of honor speech or that of matron of honor has the sole purpose of honoring the couple and talking about good things. You must make a list of everything that you may or may not want to include. Details such as how the couple met, what they like in each other, what their collective wishes are and things like that would certainly make it to the final maid of honor speech.<br /><br />• Speaking with the bride is a great idea. She might have some suggestions or reservations and knowing that would ensure that the maid of honor speech makes the most special person happy on her day.<br /><br />• It is not unwise for the matron of honor to speak with the best mate on his speech. If a maid of honor speech complements that of the best mate’s, the collective impact will be profuse.Ann N.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16190159306485400091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779031158652504498.post-86779711041321731062012-08-01T19:36:00.001-07:002012-08-01T19:36:15.970-07:00Electronic Cigarette Review: E-Cigarettes are here to stay<p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">A recent<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://topelectroniccigarettereview.com/" target="_blank">electronic cigarette review</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>by the web site WebMD asks the rhetorical question, “Are E-Cigarettes Here to Stay?” The author makes a rather clever point that “Electronic cigarettes are picking up steam...” She refers to a recent study in the American Journal of Public Health” that highlights a growing public awareness of electronic cigarettes among the American public (about 40%, according to their survey).</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">Stating the obvious</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">Who are more likely to use e-cigarettes? Wouldn’t that be existing smokers? That is what the study found, and yet the piece seems to express a surprised curiosity over that fact. Of course existing smokers would want to use electronic cigarettes, which contain about 3,998 fewer ingredients than burning tobacco. A novice smoker (say a teenager) doing an impromptu electronic cigarette review, would probably rather light up and blow real smoke than the wimpy steam e-cigarettes emit and would probably not “graduate” to e-cigarettes until hooked on nicotine.</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">Perhaps the author has never smoked and gone through the difficult withdrawal from nicotine, and like so many antismoking advocates just does not understand how difficult it is to stop puffing on toxic cancer sticks. Now that e-cigarettes are on the market to throw a lifeline to both the poor smokers and nonsmokers harmed by secondhand smoke, it seems that antismoking forces are (ironically) opposing a product that doesn’t foul the air and has proven to be a smoking cessation tool.</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">Not marketed that way, though</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">The article says that e-cigarettes aren’t regulated by the FDA “as a drug delivery device because they are not marketed as quit-smoking aids.” That is a somewhat misleading statement. The FDA actually tried to regulate e-cigarettes as a drug delivery device but lost their case in court. It wasn’t the FDA who decided that e-cigarettes are not marketed as quit-smoking aids. The court ruled that e-cigarettes were, similar to cigarettes, nicotine delivery devices and should be regulated like cigarettes. The FDA still has not come out with definitive regulations on electronic cigarettes – perhaps because they should not be regulated exactly like real cigarettes?</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">Specious “unknowns”</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">Then the article cites several "unanswered questions" about the safety of e-cigarettes, which any smoker could readily answer:</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Do e-cigarettes encourage former smokers to take up smoking again and “re-ignite their nicotine addiction?” Any ex-smoker knows the danger and undesirability of resurrecting a habit that was so very tough to defeat. The existence of electronic cigarettes would not factor into a decision to get re-addicted to a drug they worked so hard to kick.</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Are people who smoke now using electronic cigarettes to quit or to get around indoor smoking laws? So what? Whichever reason applies, quitting or keeping the air free of harmful cigarette smoke would both be good things. If the smoker is not interested in quitting but wants to keep smoke out of the air, that’s one less cigarette inhaled into the lungs and one less butt discharged into the environment. Besides, strictly speaking, electronic cigarette reviews need to take into account something very important about their nature: e-cigarettes are harm reduction devices that, at the very least, mitigate the harm of smoking, and, at best, could be used to stop altogether.</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>Finally, how are electronic cigarettes affecting nonsmokers who have never smoked? Are they “gateway products?” The answers are undoubtedly: (1) not at all, given the minute traces of stuff in the steam exhaled by e-cigarette smokers, and (2) the “gateway” to cigarette smoking would more likely be the single cigarette from the $5.00 cigarette pack and not the costlier electronic cigarette kit or disposable kind.</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">FDA, et. al, want a perfect world with lousy options.</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">So antismoking advocates continue to urge “greater regulation of these products until these questions are answered.” In the meantime, the FDA continues to urge people wanting to quit use approved “smoking cessation tools” (nicotine gum, patches, lozenges), which, unfortunately have about a 90% failure rate.</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">One voice of reason</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">The article ends on a more balanced note citing one voice of reason: physician, Michael Siegel (associate chairman of community health sciences at Boston University School of Public Health) who points out the obvious fact that if electronic cigarettes were taken off the market “smokers would be forced to go back to cigarette smoking.”</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">The real question about FDA's electronic cigarette review</p><p style="margin: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; ">Do the FDA and their antismoking colleagues really want smokers to go back to blowing smoke?

Just a click away!All the <a href="http://topelectroniccigarettereview.com/" target="_blank">best electronic cigarette</a> manufacturers can lay claim to many of the same benefits.<br /><br />Yes, they're a safer nicotine alternative than smoking tobacco cigarettes. Yes, they don't stink up the house or clothes like your old smokes did. Yes, they're safer to be around -- and the plethora of flavors and scents are much more pleasant. And yes, of course, they don't clutter up waste bins and sidewalks with ash and cigarette butts.<br /><br />But just because the benefits from one manufacturer to the next are similar doesn't mean picking the best electronic cigarette for you is going to be easy.<br /><br />Some products work or taste better than others, and there are a lot of them out there -- from the nondescript booth at the mall to the earnest mail-order business online, you could spend thousands of dollars trying to purchase and test them all. What's more, it seems a new product, cartridge or kit is available every time you turn around. Is the new one better? Should I pay a premium for something not available anymore?<br /><br />The good news is we've got it covered for you. Electronic Cigarette Review gets together all the best electronic cigarette news and reviews in one place -- rating the best electronic cigarette makers and their products with real-world answers to your questions, offered by long-term E-cig smokers who truly understand the product.<br /><br />Real reviews, real experience, and real insight into the best electronic cigarette available is what the site brings, with information on everything from flavors and technology to how much vapor is produced, how long a particular battery lasts, what kinds of features a model presents, the quality and feel of the overall product, and what discounts are available .

With so many different models available to choose from, it can be hard to know if you will even like the E-cig you decide to purchase it. However, by considering the variances between various types of electronic cigarettes such as battery life, location of manufacture, life expectancy and vapor toxicity, purchasing a great E-cig should be possible.<br />
<br />
Take the time to research the electronic cigarettes that you are interested in purchasing. According to The Huffington Post, “E-cigarettes contain only five main ingredients: nicotine, water, propylene glycol, glycerol and flavoring, which are all FDA approved.” Ask the manufacturer what primary ingredients they use in their electronic cigarette cartridges to ensure that they are all FDA approved. This will help alleviate any health concern of using electronic cigarettes.<br />
<br />
Invest in an electronic cigaretee model that costs at least one hundred dollars. Try to only buy electronic cigarettes that are manufactured in America as well. Buying cheap electronic cigarettes made in China is a concern because the quality control in these manufacturers facilility is often sub-par or non-existent. Getting the best E-cig requires investing your dollars in United States manufacturing where quality control is present.<br />
<br />
Battery life is also very important to consider when trying to find the best E-cig. Many users of electronic cigarettes will complain about their battery losing the ability to hold a charge after frequent use, long charge times and short usage periods. If you are replacing tobacco with an E-cig, it should be able to hold a charge for a very long period of time.<br />
<br />
The life expectancy of an E-cig should also be evaluated when finding the best E-cig. Read some reviews online to see how long various electronic cigarette brands lasted. Avoid brands that have broken quickly in the past, especially if you expect to be using the electronic cigarette heavily.Henryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01819824637596017388noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6779031158652504498.post-46151229456646084022012-07-13T10:29:00.002-07:002012-07-13T10:29:34.190-07:00E cigarette reviews Make It Easy to Be InformedQuitting cigarette smoking is a nightmare.

<br />
E cigarettes are an alternative to regular cigarettes that can save your health and the surrounding environment. But in order to get the best information on which e cigarettes are the best, E cigarette reviews are your most advantageous tool. E cigarette reviews are written by actual users who strive to find the best products for their own use and then share that information with you. They look for many different features that both new and experienced e cigarette users will appreciate.<br />
<br />
One of the features that <a href="http://bestelectroniccigarettesource.net/">E cigarette reviews </a>will cover includes the benefits to your environment. E cigarettes do not use butts and paper, and do not release harmful smoke or hazardous ash. Instead, e cigarettes release a vapor of nicotine, which has no offensive smell or harmful chemicals. These cigarettes are electronically powered, and one of the latest updates on E cigarette reviews is on batteries. One e cigarette can be compared to 20 regular cigarettes according to some brands, but E cigarette reviews are all ready investigating batteries that last longer and recharge faster. This means that you can enjoy your healthy alternative longer and with more convenience than you ever did with regular cigarettes.<br />
<br />
Batteries are only one feature to consider when you want to change over to e cigarettes. You have to compare pricing, available flavors, ease of use, and so many other factors to get exactly what you are looking for. E cigarette reviews does all of the hard work by testing brands and providing information in formats that are easy to evaluate. They compare everything for you, and because these are actual, experienced users, you can have faith that they will provide you genuine information, and personal yet informed reviews.<br />

These purchase decisions need to be evaluated carefully regarding cost and actual benefit. Often, these warranties only cover specific repair expenses and in many cases only up to defined capped limits. In addition, they often require co-pays or deductibles. As a Shop Owner for many years, I have witnessed firsthand the disappointment on the part of the consumer when repairs were not covered in full.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; ">These extended warranties are highly profitable for the marketers, financing institution and warranty companies themselves. These warranties are designed to be profitable and rates are formulated to maintain this profitability. Consumers should be particularly wary of after the sale solicitations and are advised to not agree to any purchase until they have had a chance to carefully review the coverage and the terms of payment.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; ">Many consumers have discovered at the time of repair that the warranties do not cover to the extent assumed.

If the vehicle purchase price is above $40,000, a reputable warranty may be a good investment. These high-end vehicles tend to have higher than normal average repair costs due to the more complex technology and expensive accessories. These higher repair costs often justify the upfront expense of the extended warranty.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; "><br /></p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; ">There are several important points to consider when deciding to purchase an extended warranty.
