Fuel Saving Tips
Manual transmission
I have a 5 speed manual Toyota Corolla. Start off in 1st gear, shift into 3rd gear and then shift into 5th gear. Skip 2nd and 4th. My highway and city mileage average is 43 mpg. Shift into neutral and coast on the flats as far as possible.

Be mindful while driving
Think of the accelerator pedal as the speed control for a paper shredder. Except it ain't paper that's going through the shredder, it's your hard-earned dollars. Every time you increase RPM's the shredder speed increases and those dollar bills get eaten faster by the machine. One dollar after another and on and on. I try, within, reasonable and safe bounds to keep my dollar bill shredder running as slowly as possible.

Duff O2 Sensor no Fault light
Don't assume your ecu will latch a fault. My GSF650K9 has a fault code for a faulty O2 sensor. I have had no fault light but some time in the last year the sensor has gone bad. even with the engine dead I got 4.7 volts out of the sensor, with the engine running 4.7 volts. ecu reads that as lean and adds fuel. How long has it been duff?Looking at my drooping economy figures I'm guessing the last 3 months. Did I check the other sensors? You bet.

Coasting alternatives
While most will say to always coast in gear, in most cases this is true. There are times when you will save more fuel if you put in neutral(manual cars). I have a couple stretches of roads where I can coast at the 30 mph mark due to neighborhood roads and if I keep it in gear it slows the car down. I do the surge and coast method of put it in 4th and get it to 30 then take it out of gear and coast. Engine load does go up but due to how long I can coast, it is more cost effective to let the engine hit load and coast for much longer.

Skip shifting
I come at this technique from heavy trucking (where transmissions don't have synchronizers) and it is an "acquired" skill. When on relatively flat ground, it is not necessary to shift all six-gears to drive down the road. In fact,the sooner you get into your highest gear, the better your fuel mileage will be...BUT...you can't lug the engine. So, on my six speed, I shift 1, 3, 5, 6 which allows me to get into overdrive (and every higher gear earlier), yielding higher fuel mileage. Keep RPM's low in every gear and watch your fuel mileage increase...but don't lug the engine!

Downhill alternative
If hill isn't steep enough to downshift to keep speed from climbing, turn on air conditioning - it's worth about 1/2 a gear or downshift 1 gear instead of 2 and activate air. Goal is steady speed downhill without using brakes.

Diesel vs gasoline
When looking for a car, don't be fooled by the higher original sticker price and higher (in some places) price of fuel. almost every single diesel car made for the U.S. market has much higher fuel mileage ratings. We've driven many diesels through the years, and it has surely paid off in fuel savings, as well as they are tougher than gasoline engines.

How to Drive Road Inclines for the Best MPG
Without modern electronics to give you real time MPG feedback, such as my 26y/o Civic, use this MPG driving technique...... When approaching ANY road incline, ascend the grade 5mph slower. Resume your normal speed after the road flattens out or begins to decline. Before doing this you may wish to see if there are no other cars closely behind that might be inconvenienced.

Changing elevations on commute route
Hybrid tip: Try to find the flattest, least hilly commute to work, or if not possible take a route without long inclines to reduce the amount of work done by the ICE on long steady climbs.

Cars behind you? Let them pass!
If you're driving down a small, curvy country road, take note if there's any cars behind you. If they're there for a while, pull over briefly and let them pass. People driving on a challenging road every day might be able to drive it faster than you.

Your cars computer is probably not accurate
In owning three vehicles (2 cars, 1 motorcycle), I have found that the instantaneous fuel economy is not accurate. While you can use this reading to determine driving styles that help maximize fuel economy, the absolute reading itself is probably not accurate. The computer in my 2009 Honda Fit overestimates fuel economy by 10-15%. The computer on my Subaru Forrester overestimates by about 10%. The computer on my Honda CB500 motorcycle underestimates fuel economy by a whopping 20-25%.

Plan your route
Review your commute or directions manually and tweak it to fit your needs! You may be able to simplify, shorten and optimize your route in ways a 3rd party is not aware of simply by seeing the big picture and adapting it to your specific car and driving style. This is especially worthwhile to do for frequently driven routes, you may be able to improve the smoothness, efficiency and safety of your commute with very minor tradeoffs.

Beat he hill, pump first
On driving up any hill, especially rolling hills that have a 30 to 60' elevation rise, pump the accelerator 'before' reaching the base of the hill. This slight speed increase of a few mph increases the momentum of your vehicle during the initial climb of the hill. You'll use less gas overall, regardless of the hill's rise or run. Unfortunately, speed controls are dumb to this tip and pump 'more' gas when the vehicle is rising on the actual hill slope. You'll be surprised at the savings when you look at your instantaneous fuel gauge...

Don't brake
Ok... wait, not exactly, but, the most you apply brakes means wasted energy which used fuel to be produced. So, apply gas only the amount you need to get in traffic, release soon when you prevent you need to slow/stop, and, let the brake to be used when it's completely necessary for safety reasons. Same for older/newer vehicles, automatic/manual transmissions, and neutral/engage coasting.

Drive on concrete roads
Studies show that, assuming optimal road quality and condition, concrete road surfaces are stiffer and have less "play" compared to asphalt when your tires roll over them. As such, the rolling resistance will be lower, yielding a slight improvement in fuel consumption.

Accurate fill-ups (continued)
It also helps if, in addition to Navi's advice, you fill up at the same pump at the same filling station whenever possible. In my experience, every pump's automatic shutoff is at least a little different.

Do not hold on to high gears up inclines/merging roads
It might seem logical to keep it in a higher gear when you accelerate or go up a hill if you want to save fuel, but it lugs your engine and results in you using 100% throttle for a lot longer. In many occasions, it's slightly more efficient to use a short burst of high RPM, full throttle driving, so you can achieve a cruise a lot earlier.

Lighter engine oil for better mileage? or more power?
Not from my experience (as a master tech for over 40 years), and from extensive testing on dynamometer and road testing specific vehicles while testing results of 10w40 compared to 5w20 engine oils. No difference in HP or fuel economy whatsoever.

Don't use your Automatic Climate Control!
On many higher end vehicles the climate control system will have an "auto" setting much like a home would however the vehicle will almost always automatically engage the A/C system even if cooling is not required, the system also typically runs in defrost/floor vent position which runs the vehicles A/C even though the A/C button is turned off. To prevent unnecessary use of A/C when you don't required cooling or defogging of windows manually switch the climate control to face or face/foot vent position and make sure the A/C button is off. This will ensure the compressor doesn't kick in unless you activate it manually.

Drive a diesel
If you drive a petrol car sell it and buy the equivalent diesel. They do on average around 50% more mpg than the petrol equivalent in power and performance.

Run the Air-con instead of applying brakes
Air conditioning puts a big load on the engine and can be several kilowatts. So when you want to slow down in a vehicle with non-regenerative braking, keep a cool or warm cabin WITHOUT hurting mpg, switch leave the engine in gear and turn the air-con on full hot or cold. No fuel is supplied to the engine when the pedal isn't depressed and the air-con provides the braking that would otherwise be lost as heat. It's great for going down an incline to maintain a constant speed too!

Ensure your tyres are at the correct pressure
A tyre should wear evenly across the entire tread from shoulder to shoulder. Over pressure is indicated by the centre of the tyre wearing faster than the shoulders & under pressure is indicated by the reverse. Over-pressure reduces your cornering grip, increases stopping distances and makes the car more susceptible to sliding on surface contaminates (gravel, oil, etc). Under pressure will cause the tyre overheat, aquaplane more readily & tramline more readily. Either state will cause your tyres to wear out more quickly.

Drive in higher gears
On my old car I would always shift the automatic transmission into 3rd around town and when going up steep highways so the engine wouldn't rev as much when the transmission hunted for the right gear. On that particular car it didn't seem to hurt the mileage at all. However, I now have a newer car with an instantaneous mpg readout that shows that shifting from drive ("D") to 3rd when going up long inclines immediately caused a 25-30% drop in mpg. Fortunately, my new car has more torque, so it doesn't rev and hunt when going uphill, so I can leave it in D always and get better gas mileage.

Never Coast or Idle in Neutral in a Hybrid!
While some people may suggest coasting or idling in neutral to save some gas (although it is illegal in most states), you never ever want to do this while driving a hybrid. Why? While in neutral, the car's generator is not engaged, meaning it cannot charge the high-voltage battery. This also means no regenerative braking while in neutral!

Know Your Vehicle's Optional Equipment, Configure Appropriately
Learn and understand your vehicle's optional equipment as it pertains to fuel economy, and configure it appropriately. For example, my Audi Q5 has a factory electric auxiliary heater. It also has a gauge to show you the real-time fuel economy impact of defeatable devices, such as A/C, seat heaters, window defrosters, and the aux. heater. The aux heater has only 2 settings: OFF or AUTO. In auto mode, it comes on when I could do without it, and stays on well after the engine has heated up. It costs as much fuel as running your A/C! I leave if OFF to save fuel, turning it to AUTO only as needed. But don't sacrifice safety for better MPG.

Safely Increase Tire Pressure
Car manufacturers have a recommended tire pressure based on a number of factors, making number of assumptions and compromises. For example, they might favor a more comfortable ride. You might have different priorities, such as sacrificing a slightly smoother, quieter ride in favor of higher fuel economy (higher tire pressure). Do your due diligence to determine how much higher to go. Never exceed the tire manufacturer's recommended rating.

CA Fuel vs 49 State Fuel
California fuel is specially blended to reduce emissions and is only produced by California refineries, it also has significantly less power and yields reduced miles per gallon. If going on a road trip to CA, top off your tank before entering California territories and after leaving. If you live in California, fill up when you are out of state.

Use a lighter weight oik
Switching from a heavier oil (like 10w-30) to a lighter oil (such as 5w-30) can have a huge impact on how your engine runs. It costs a lot of parasitic drag to pump that heavier oil through the engine. I've noticed a 4 mpg improvement in two of my cars going to a synthetic 5w-30 motor oil.

Anyone Can Buy DRIPs
The best way to invest in stocks is probably also the least advertised. The reason for this is brokers and brokerage houses do not profit from these type of investments. After the first initial investment, which includes a small fee or commission, 100% of the investor's money goes right into the stock. In most cases there is never another fee or commission nor account fee for the life of the investments.
Dividend reinvestment plans or DRIPs let the individual investor buy stock directly from the company issuing the stock. The advantages are many. First no broker is involved, which of course, means no broker fees. Second some DRIPs let the stock holder invest as little as ten dollars though most DRIPS require a minium of twenty-five to fifty dollars for subsequent buying of shares. So if a share of stock costs $76 dollars and the DRIP holder sends the company $25.00 as an additional investment the DRIP holder will receive a fraction of a share much like how a mutual fund works.
The aspect of how dividend reinvestment plans are named comes from the fact that dividends, instead of being paid to the stock holder, are instead reinvested into the stock holders investment buying additional shares. Investors are also given a choice of getting these dividends in the form of cash which would help retirees with a steady stream of income.
HOW TO GET STARTED IN DRIPs
When an individual buys stock from a brokerage house the stock goes under a "street name" The investor actually owns the stock but for simpler trading and bookkeeping the stock from all investors are kept under the brokerage street name. This arrangement has no effect on how the investor receives dividends or on any trading matters but for an individual stock to be enrolled into a DRIP the stock must have the name of the individual that bought the stock meaning no house name,
Years ago it was easy to buy one share of stock and have the broker transfer the name of the stock to the individual requesting the change at no or nominal cost. Not so today. The cost of transfer change can be quite high as brokerage houses are looking for new sources of revenue. This holds true even with discount brokers.
BEST WAY TO ENROLL IN DRIPs
I have found that the best way to invest in DRIPS is through The Moneypaper found at the website Directinvesting. This is the way I have bought my drips. They have a variety of memberships with the full membership, I think, is a bit expensive (as of this writing $153.00) but includes many benefits such as buying DRIPS for half price $25.00 instead of $50.00 dollars and 12 issues of their great investment news letter and full online research database comparing different DRIPS. They allso allow you to by two featured DRIPS a month for just a commission price of $15.00. Its not uncoomon to find a reduced rate for this membership.
The strategy I used was to get the full membership and buy one stock about once a month. By the end of your membership you should have around 12 different stocks. I have to stress you don't need more than 12 stocks and could do with probably half as much. After the year, cancel your membership if you like and your set to go.
The Moneypaper also has an option where you can buy a gift of stock for someone. I have used this to buy one share of stock for my children when they were very young. In doing so you or another adult must become the custodian of the stock until they reach legal age. Imagine buying a stock for someone at the age of 5 or 6 or younger and dividends are payed out for decades. Of course you can buy additional shares at anytime without ever paying a commission cost again.
A simple spreadsheet can be made to track your dividends. I made one a little bit more complicated but a simple one will do fine. It's a great way to track how your stocks are growing in value through additional purchases and dividends.
Here is my Second Part of this article Showing the Stocks I have bought and why.
I have been doing this for years and happy to answer any questions.

Imagestalk, recently
posted a short blog article with just a few examples taken from his portfolio. The response was - great images! And they are!
Although panoramas were possible to produce in analog era, it's so much easier now, with just a little help of some wise
software and just a bit of know-how, you should do wonders. Let me share my own experiences here:
1. More often than not, you'll be shooting far away objects. So, go to manual mode in your camera, do some test shots and adjust the settings
(aperture/shutter/iso). When done, focus nicely and TURN OFF auto focus - you are shooting far away objects, the depth of field will easily cover
the slight differences in the distance. What is it for? Well, your camera doesn't try to focus/refocus, sparing your precious time (more of it soon).
2. Shots should overlay, dont's forget that!! Image1 needs to have some area that Image2 has as well. The software is only able to stitch when it
can find control points - same points in two neighbouring images. 20% overlaying should be enough.
3. Try to shoot the parts vertically. Why? Usually the side areas of the image are optically weaker than the center. You want them to appear at the bottom (some grass/ground) or
top of the final image (skies/clouds). And there are some complicated optical rules I wouldn't like to get much into, but believe me, it works.
4. The use of polarizing filter. Well, this one depends much of the quality of software you're stitching your panoramas with. The worse the software, the more I'd suggest
to take the polarizing filter off. If your software can deal with blending nicely, you might both take advantage of polarizer assets and enjoy nice final effects.
Subject to test yourself. The problem to deal with here is, that each partial image is affected with the filter. It may bring some problems while
blending sky colors in post-processing and unpleasant/unnatural look.
5. If possible, use tripod while shooting. Be firm and quick. Things change in nature - light changes, clouds move etc. That's why you don't have time to
bother about your AF looking for this cloud or that tree.
6. Shoot wider that you're planning your final result to be. In post-processing some areas of your image, due to warping, distoring, cropping, will get lost.
Give yourself a margin.
Preparing images before stitching:
1. Because more and more photogs shoot RAW these days, remember to get the whole set of images to be stitched all at once in RAW processing program
and apply the same settings to all of them. It's obvious, yet some people forget about it and have problems at the next stage.
That's the most important part, not counting the beautiful place you have just shot:)
I experimented with a few programs. Most of us probably use PS CS3/4 anyway. Its panorama stitching performance gets better with each edition, still, I wouldn't personally
call it perfect. I had numerous times when my set of base images was declined by CS because it couldn't find control points, or color blending was not perfect. I believe
that PS CS is a great tool generally, but you'll be happier with your results using some dedicated software. It's almost the same as with HDR processing - CS PS has it, but
Photomatix is better. (*disclaimer below:))
As there are quite a few of dedicated programs to do nice stitching work, I'd advise to try and choose yourself. Google the term "panorama stitching" and you'll get some
ideas to start with. Most of them offer you trial versions, so go out there, shoot some panoramas and try one against the other! In time, you'll realize that stitching is
possible not only while producing wide horizontal images - you can stitch vertical/square/you name it. The key is - control points.
What are panoramas for?
1. Panoramic postcards - did you notice they are getting more and more popular?
2. Website headers
3. Vertical/horizontal design elements.
4. Huge resolution images for print.
5. Wide interiors
6. 180/360 degrees images - wild:)
See some of brilliant DT panoramas here.
Base images might be used in some really breathtaking projects like this. But that's a whole different article:)

Today marks the start to my no refined sugar journey! I will still be making scrumptious dishes with sugar for others and for the holidays but I'll try my darnedest not to eat them. I'm starting the morning with this hot drink. I read an article this morning while I was in bed [Sensitive Souls] . It talked about being hyper aware and having a more sensitive body. Not only to your surroundings and others feelings but also the food you eat. I have always found that if I put something in my body besides fruits, veggies and natural grains I don't feel well at all. That's why this morning detox drink is great.
2 1/2 cups boiling water
1 organic lemon cut into slices
1 in piece of ginger peeled and sliced
1/8 tsp ground turmeric
2 tsp honey [not the kind in the bear shape]
Bring water to a boil. Add lemon, ginger, honey and turmeric. Let steep for 30 minutes, strain and drink at room temperature
++•I just tecently read an amazing post about how to stay healthy in during flu season from this amazing blogger! Here's what I found out about Lemon, Ginger and Turmeric…
~Lemons are a staple of many detox diets, and there is good reason for this. Firstly, lemons are packed with antioxidant vitamin C, which is great for the skin and for fighting disease-forming free-radicals. Furthermore, the citrus fruit has an alkaline effect on the body, it helps restore the body's pH balance, strengthening the immune system. Try starting your day with hot water and a slice of lemon to help flush out toxins and cleanse your system.
~Ginger is a powerful antiviral root that seems to halt cold symptoms if taken early enough. Add sliced fresh ginger when making stir fries or curries, or add to teas, juices and smoothies.
~Turmeric is a yellow, rather tasteless powder, often used in curry dishes for its colour. It's high in antioxidants and is considered nature's anti-inflammatory. I heat a mug of coconut milk with a teaspoon of turmeric powder, a teaspoon of coconut oil and honey to sweeten.
[Check out more fun tips here, thanks Brewsker!]
++Just read more on why lemon/honey water every morning is amazing
•[Keeps you regular and protects from UTIs
Because this mixture when taken first thing in the morning stimulates the digestive system, as well as hydrating the colon and more, honey lemon water keeps constipation at bay. It also acts as a diuretic, cleansing the urinary tract and ensuring no urinary tract infections. I can certainly verify this one!
Improves digestion
Every part of this drink aids in the digestive process; lemons assist your liver in producing more bile so you can break down complex foods better and use the good stuff from your meals. Honey is antibacterial which protects you from any infections you might have. It also helps with the production of mucus in the stomach, helping to flush out toxins. For this reason, it also assists with healthy weight balance.
Makes you glow with health and beauty
Lemon has many benefits for skin, but it also helps purify the blood as well as aiding in the production of new blood cells that act as cleaning agents. The water and honey create a restorative, antibacterial and collagen boosting powerhouse for your skin too.]• Thanks Elephantmeditation.com

iMale Salon For Men
At iMale Salon For Men, the stylists don't skimp on the pampering. During their signature haircuts, for example, they cut and style manes and conclude the session with a conditioning scalp massage, mini face massage, hot towel treatment, and paraffin hand dip with a hand massage. And they go further for loyal clients with a complimentary beard, mustache, neck, and sideburn trim. They complement cuts and color touchups with waxing, stripping extraneous fuzzies from the chest, back, neck, or brows, and set skin aglow with cleansing and moisturizing facials.
And it wouldn't be a proper man salon without some masculine trappings. To make patrons extra comfortable, the salon features cushy black leather chairs and exposed brick walls dotted with flatscreen TVs. They usually play ESPN, allowing guests to feel confident when pointing out terrible calls thanks to freshly manicured nails.

It's not all the time that you discover you need a replacement Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder to fix your car or truck. Hyundai automobile enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of best-in-class value when driving their Stellar around town. When your Hyundai Stellar was born, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants driver satisfaction in their automobile. You picked your Stellar because its best-in-class value and driver satisfaction appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts?
The first applications of the use of hydraulic pressure were in mining and supplying water across great distances. However, it took a couple of decades of automobile production until the drum brake wheel cylinders, like the ones found on your Hyundai Stellar, were invented. Hyundai Stellar drum brake wheel cylinders are essentially slave cylinders that push the brake shoes away from each other when hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder gets distributed to each wheel. The shoes make contact with the inside of the drums; creating friction which causes you to slow down.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members available with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Hyundai Stellar part for your needs. Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the first place you go to make buying it easy. Don't let a Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts. When it comes to Hyundai Stellar Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder parts, you can find them for 1987, 1986, 1985 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Rhythm Thief and the Paris Caper released on the App Store today, and users subsequently had problems with its always-online connection, SEGA said in a statement.
"We are aware that consumers are experiencing issues with Rhythm Thief and our team is working around the clock for a solution," the statement reads. "Our fans are very important to us and we aim to provide the highest quality experience when playing a SEGA mobile game. Stay tuned for more updates, we are working diligently to fix this issue."
According to SEGA, the problems seem to be arising from the required online connection, as users are having trouble connecting to the game's servers.

Ducks get lined up and shot, fish get shot in a barrel.
Having Your "ducks in a row" means being ready to shoot them. And "shooting fish in a barrel" refers to a "can't miss" scenario.
You don't want to be a duck nor a fish. But that's exactly what most children are at a school with an active shooter in the building! Many schools, and and even whole school systems, have a policy in place that will put children at risk.
"Lockdown", and "Shelter in Place" do not address the nature of the active shooter threat. In effect, our children are "fish in a barrel" for the shooter.
Go ahead, ask your children what the procedure is at their school for "Lockdown". You may be surprised to find that it is:
- Close the door (except not all of them can lock, or are kept locked)
- Turn off the lights (but they're right next to the door…)
- Close the blinds on the windows
- Hide out of sight or in a group away from the door and be quiet
The school shooter profile is that he (98% a single person shooter and male) is someone who knows the school layout. Classrooms are likely to have children in them, so, go in (easy to break the glass and open door), turn on the lights and shoot the …fish.
I taught at a high school that tacitly knew that lockdown wouldn't work during lunch block, so never practiced it then. Yet that is a prime opportunity for a shooter to commit the greatest harm!
Don't worry, there is a better way. There have been enough case-studies of active shooter incidents that a clear "better way" has emerged. FEMA, DHS, and Department of education all promote a different response.
In fact, school systems that don't change their policy and procedure may very well be liable in the event of an active shooter situation in their schools.
Statistics show that it is in fact small to medium sized school districts that are most often hit. Every time we see the same interview with a shocked resident with the same quote. "I never thought it could happen here", they say.
It is no longer a matter of 'if', but rather 'when' the next attack will occur. This is a frightening thought, one that must not be ignored or dismissed.
There is a better way to prepare our school staff and students to be empowered to have a good chance of surviving an active shooter situation.
YOU can be the person that gets the ball rolling by bringing in someone who can train everyone in the better way.

3 Important HR Questions for Small Businesses
Small businesses have many HR questions and often don't know where to turn for answers. They struggle with human resource issues. Hiring and retaining the right talent is not easy. Besides, managing all the HR-related tasks such as payroll & benefits, and other areas like motivation & development, are complex and need special attention.
Employers Resource helps every business at all stages with growth and development. Find out more! Call us today!
Here are some common questions with brief but useful answers for businesses struggling with HR questions.
How to offer great compensation packages?
Small businesses often struggle when it comes to offering their employees the same great benefits that many great benefits and compensation packages big businesses are able to afford. One of the most common HR questions in the minds of small business owners is how can I retain my best people, who are often the most talented and the most frequently poached employees! Outsourcing your HR tasks, including securing compensation benefits, to a PEO can greatly improve the kind of benefits and advantages you can offer your employees. PEOs negotiate compensation packages for a large number of 'collective' employees, of their various clients and carry greater clout with service providers and carriers of health and other benefits.
How to ensure safety of employees?
This is among the most important HR questions because any injury, disability or harm caused to your employees at work or during work (outside the work place) could make you liable to a lawsuit. A simple and easy solution is to routinely hand our safety instructions in both printed and digital form. This is especially important if your place of business carries risks such as dangerous equipment or even the kitchen of a café! Also conduct safety-training programs at regular intervals.
Hiring professional HR staff?
Often small business owners do not understand the important of HR specialists until they start carrying out the duties themselves. Whether it posting jobs, screening applicants or terminating a contract, these can all be tricky tasks to carry out. Among the many HR questions small business owners have is about hiring HR staff. It is almost up to you to weigh the costs and benefits of hiring a top-notch HR expert. Sometimes, they will help streamline your processes so well, that they're well worth the cost. However, businesses with fewer than 150 employees must consider outsourcing their HR needs to PEOs or similar organizations. This is more cost effective and is also the answer to many difficult HR questions that small business owners face! PEOs take care of many complex HR tasks for an administrative fee and maybe just what your business needs.

Listen: NYC Board of Elections tells me "You cannot vote today being an independent"
(This article is published in Salon.)
Today, April 19, is the New York primary. It is one of the most important days in the presidential campaign, and can have an enormous impact on the election, potentially helping to give Bernie Sanders the further momentum he needs to challenge firmly entrenched establishment forces, or conversely cementing Hillary Clinton's status as the "inevitable" nominee.
More than one-quarter (27 percent) of New York's registered voters, however, are unable to vote in this critical primary today. 3.2 million New Yorkers cannot participate, because they are registered either as independents or with third parties.
New York is one of 11 U.S. states that has a closed primary system, which effectively guarantees that the Democratic and Republican Parties control electoral politics.
Another 63,558 registered Democrats in Brooklyn were mysteriously unregistered in recent months, and therefore stripped of their right to vote in the primary. No city or state election official could explain why to WNYC public radio.
As The Nation put it, New York has "some of the worst voting laws in the country."
If voters want to participate in the New York primary, they had to register for one of the two major parties in October — six months before. At this time, few people thought Sanders would have had a chance. In recent months, an enormous grassroots movement has emerged behind Sanders, and he has a real chance at defeating the Clinton machine.
Closed primaries have disproportionately hurt Sanders, who is significantly more popular among independents than his rival. In fact, the Vermont senator has been continuously elected for decades as an independent, and says he commiserates with those unable to vote today.
Some media outlets reported this week, nevertheless, that there could be a possible way around the restrictions on independent and third-party voters. Gothamist wrote that New Yorkers who have fallen through the cracks can "try to get a court order stating you should be allowed to vote in a certain party's primary."
"As difficult as this sounds, the city Board of Elections actually stations judges at offices in each of the boroughs on Primary Day to do exactly this," Gothamist reported. A spokesperson provided the news website a list of locations and hours judges will be present in New York City's different boroughs.
I called the Board of Elections' Brooklyn office this afternoon and asked if this is indeed possible. They put me on hold for several minutes before telling me to call the main office of the New York City Board of Elections, in Manhattan.
I proceeded to call the main office, asking if I could try to get a court order, or if there was any other way I could vote in the New York primary. I was firmly rejected.
The Board of Elections office strongly denied that there was any way for me to vote, stating bluntly, "You cannot vote today being an independent."
"There's no potential way?" I asked. "There's no way," the office spokesperson replied, before abruptly hanging up.
Listen to the phone call below. A transcript of the exchange follows.
BOARD OF ELECTIONS OFFICE: Board of elections.
ME: Hi, I'm a registered independent, and I read in media reports that it's possible to potentially get a court order—
BOARD OF ELECTIONS OFFICE: No that's true. I don't, that is not true. Okay? I don't know where, I'm sorry, but that is not true. You can't vote today. Okay?
ME: So you've heard that from other people as well?
BOARD OF ELECTIONS OFFICE: Umm.
ME: No, because I've seen it, actually, in a few different media reports. They've said that—
BOARD OF ELECTIONS OFFICE: I'm telling you, this is the Board of Elections, and I'm telling you what's true and what's false, and you cannot vote today being an independent. Okay?
ME: There's no potential way?
BOARD OF ELECTIONS OFFICE: There's no way. Okay?
ME: None at all?
BOARD OF ELECTIONS OFFICE: None.
ME: Okay—

Marquis Downs: 'Wizard' favored
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan - A field of four 3-year old colts and geldings will compete over one mile in the $6,500 City of Bridges Sophomore at Marquis Downs, and Quiz the Wizard appears to be the logical favorite.
Quiz the Wizard won the Western Heritage here last year, and his only start of 2003 has been a winning effort. This race, like the Western Heritage, is restricted to Saskatchewan-breds.
Trained by Bob Barr for his wife, Gail, Quiz the Wizard won his maiden and the Western Heritage in quick succession last summer and was then made the favorite in the rich Prairie Lily Sales Stake.
However, Quiz the Wizard was done after a half-mile in the big race and faded badly to finish last as he was eased down the lane.
This year has been trying for Quiz the Wizard, whose one start came in a June 6 nonwinners-of-three claiming race on a muddy track.
After some downtime with a virus, Quiz the Wizard now returns to action with the best part of the season ahead of him: the $10,000 Shortgrass Heritage on Aug. 16 and the $15,000 Saskatchewan Derby on Sept. 6.
Among the other contenders, Stop the Act won his first two races of the season here, going six furlongs each time. He then was second twice to the speedy Bedford Road. One of those runner-up efforts came in the Saskatoon Handicap.
Bedford Road underlined his quality with a second-place finish against open allowance foes at Northlands on Wednesday evening.
Extended Credit dueled for a half-mile with Bedford Road before tiring in the Saskatoon Handicap. Since then, Extended Credit has run second and third in allowance races. A winner of the male division of the Saskatchewan Futurity last year, Extended Credit will race for the third consecutive weekend.
Completing the field is Sifting Sand, who was a winner of his first two starts this spring in half-mile sprints. He has tired badly in his last two versus Bedford Road, Stop the Act, and Extended Credit.

Driver found not guilty of negligent homicide in motorcyclist's death
PITTSFIELD — It took a Berkshire County Jury of Six about 2 1/2 hours to find a New York woman not guilty of negligent homicide in the death of a motorcyclist in July 2014.
Shannon Curtiss, 32, of Stephentown, N.Y., was charged with one count of motor vehicle homicide by negligence in connection with the crash which claimed the life of 49-year-old John Kenney.
Assistant Berkshire District Attorney Dana Parsons argued Curtiss neglected the solid green light at the intersection of North Street and Springside Avenue, indicating she needed to yield to oncoming traffic.
Parsons told the jury, Curtiss began to make the turn, cutting off Kenney who was traveling on his motorcycle in the opposite direction about 1 p.m. July 15.
Kenney struck the passenger side of Curtiss' car and later died from his injuries.
Curtiss' attorney, Nathaniel K. Green said Curtiss had slowed at the intersection and allowed traffic to pass before proceeding.
Green said the first time Curtiss had seen Kenney or his motorcycle was after the impact.
Testimony in the trial began Tuesday. The case went to the jury about 1 p.m. Wednesday, according to Parsons.
The case was heard in Central Berkshire District Court before Judge William O'Grady.

Frequency of manic symptoms during a depressive episode and unipolar 'depressive mixed state' as bipolar spectrum
Tetsuya Sato, Psychiatrische Klinik, Ludwig-Maximilian Universität, Nußbaumstr. 7, Munich D-80336, Germany E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Objective: To report the frequency of intra-episode manic symptoms in depressive episodes, and to evaluate unipolar depressive mixed state (DMS) as bipolar spectrum.
Method: A total of 958 (863 unipolar, 25 bipolar II, and 70 bipolar I) depressive in-patients were assessed in terms of manic symptoms at admission, and several clinical variables using standardized methods.
Results: The frequency of manic symptoms (flight of idea, logorrhea, aggression, excessive social contact, increased drive, irritability, racing thoughts, and distractibility) was significantly higher in bipolar depressives than in unipolar depressives. Unipolar depressives with DMS – defined as having two or more manic symptoms – had more similarities to bipolar depressives than to other unipolar depressives in clinical variables such as onset age, family history of bipolar disorder, and possibly suicidality.
Conclusion: Depressive mixed state is frequent, particular in bipolar depressives. Unipolar depressives with DMS may be better classified into bipolar spectrum.

Hi there!
Is it possible (in Windows XP) to use one audio card with two or three stereo audio outputs (5.1 audio card) to pretend like two audio cards? I have onboard 5.1 audio card, and I would like to use one audio output for stereo speakers for listening music and other output for headphones and watching movies. Soundcard can output different waves to every output, but how to make Windows to use output that I want? Is it possible with some generic drivers or is there some other sollution?
9/22/2007 (10:50 am) by awesomeo
Try setting the speakers to quadraphonic in the Sounds and Audio Devices control panel applet. It should send the stereo signal to 2 of your jacks.
9/27/2007 (2:38 am) by dado sach
@awesomeo: thanx for reply but I don't think this is what I'm looking for.
To be more precise: I have one sound card and I would like to make Windows to think that there are two cards, one that is "stereo output 1", and second card is "stereo output 2" and to be able to set in winamp to output to card 1 (output 1) and in mediaplayer to card 2 (output 2).
9/27/2007 (10:49 am) by awesomeo
No card that I know of will do that. They may exist somewhere but if you were to find one, it would certainly cost a lot. It's probably possible to do it if driver support for things like that were there but I've never seen it done.

More than the years, musical jewelry boxes have expanded their themes to contain angels, carousels, or Christmas-themed characters. Off-subject tip: Be certain to have jewelry with embedded valuable and semi-precious stones inspected routinely-you never want to shed that brilliant diamond or topaz since a prong came loose. If little ones never have access to the jewelry box, you can probably get away with cleaning it perhaps 1 time per week.

Prolonged Exposure Therapy: Session 1
today was my first session of Prolonged Exposure Therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder.
I hope it is the first step to getting my life back.
today's session covered the protocol for imaginal exposure and in vivo exposure as well as a relaxation breathing exercise. the therapy is designed to expose the boogy-man to the light of day, so to speak.
the worst thing about PTSD is not that I keep reliving the incident itself (because there were so many) but I'm reliving the response to any stimuli that remind me of the trauma, so I'm jumpy all the time and I avoid situations where I might feel like I did during one of the many traumatic experiences I endured. over time it's become worse.
the goal of Prolonged Exposure Therapy is to change the way I think about traumatic events, to relive them, break them down, examine them over and over and fit them together like puzzle pieces until they don't push me into a fight-or-flight response. instead of sweeping them under emotional rugs or stuffing them into the closets of my mind, I'll go through a process of properly filing them away as memories... unpleasant ones, to be sure, but memories like any other. the mind has no trashcan. I can't throw the memories away, as much as I've wished to.
the program is two 1.5 hour sessions per week for five weeks. I'll be recording every session, then listening to the latest one between sessions. I expect it to be grueling.
I'll try to post updates as I progress.
