One of the best ways that I, as an American, have decided to actively support my country is by displaying our nation's in every place that I can.

My country's flag, the stars and stripes, is perhaps the most American of all symbols we have. Among other things, houses, schools, businesses and even cars choose to show their support for America by displaying proudly the stars and stripes. You do not have to drive very far down any street or through any neighborhood in our country before you see a flag flying high in the wind.

There is something about the stars and stripes that makes people feel really American and reminds them about the of our nation. Most Americans cannot help but think of the great freedoms that our country enjoys and the sacrifices that have been made in order to attain that freedom with each sight of the stars and stripes they have. The stars and stripes remind Americans of the founding of our country, of the great that took place to bring freedom to many of our captives, and of the men and women who have spent their lives to preserve the lives of others.

Not all Americans love the stars and stripes like I do. In fact, some people choose to harm and even burn the in protest against the values or actions of our country. Often during times of war, for example, Americans can be found burning the stars and stripes to symbolize the way our country is being destroyed through war. Although in some ways burning a flag seems to go against everything that America stands for, in other ways this kind of protest is exactly what forms the substance of America: freedom. America is the kind of place where Americans can spend their life honoring and protecting the stars and stripes or harming and destroying the stars and stripes. Each response to our country's freedoms must be tolerated by the other.

There are many ways to show your support for the country you love. However, there are few ways as striking and memorable as displaying proudly the stars and stripes.

First of all, it is really hard to say if the relationships would have happened without Dancing with the Stars as the contestants come from different areas of celebrity. Some of these people would not have had their paths crossed had they not been on the show at the same time.

Dancing with the Stars has produced three confirmed off stage romances; and (season 5), Smirnoff (season 3), and and Derek Hough (season 6). Each of these couples began on the dance floor and at least one of them, has grown. The couple moved in together and is reportedly doing well.

Dancing with the Stars is a natural breeding ground for a romance to begin. After all, couples are paired together and work week after week to become the best they can be. It is only natural that if there is any attraction that the partners could not only fall into each others arms dancing but also in a romantic manor.

What makes for a good relationship and for a winning team on Dancing with the Stars are one and the same thing. Being able to rely on the other person 100% is vital in both. Working in such close contact with a single person, for the same end result, is one surefire way to ensure a friendship. What made these three couples turn that friendship into more?

One thing that seems to be indifference between the couples is age. It does not seem to matter that is what age. The couples have found each other through hard work and trying to win the competition.

Does it really seem like an unlikely place to kindle the romantic fires? Yes, it is true that Dancing with the Stars is like a work place situation. It is also true that each celebrity and each have a specific roll in the competition. The celebrity is there to learn to be the best dancer they can be while the professional dancers are there to teach the celebrities how to accomplish the specific dances as flawlessly as they possibly can. So why not think that it would be possible to take the utter trust required between dance teacher and pupil to the next level of boyfriend and girlfriend.

In conclusion, Dancing with the Stars is a natural breeding ground for romance. The level of trust needed in a partner on the show is equivalent to that of a relationship. Through the constant working on the contestants to become the best in any given season of Dancing with the Stars, it is only natural that romance could grow as well.Kathy is a guest writer at Reality-TV-Online.

There is much speculation as to why the show started off so popular and has not lost any of its following. There is no way to determine for certain why people like the show and continue to watch it season after season.

Dancing with the Stars is about to begin its 7th season in the fall of 2008. Since the very first season back in the summer of 2005, the world loved this show. For some reason people can not seem to get enough and anxiously wait for each new season to begin.

Each season starts with the introduction of the teams of and their teammate celebrities. Then as the season progresses, the public gets to see a of their favorite stars or athlete's learning the complicated steps and moves required for the complicated dances they perform. Some say that Dancing with the Stars has such a large loyal following because people love to see famous people make mistakes and there has not been one season yet where the and blunders of the workouts have not been shown.

There are also others that say they like to watch Dancing with the Stars for the that you can learn to dance yourself if you pay close attention. If you do not know how to dance and watch enough dancers performing the same dance week after week, it is natural that you will begin to pick up on the moves.

There are other fans of Dancing with the Stars that are indeed fans for the simple fact that the celebrities on the show (at least one per season) have been someone that they are a fan of. This became very evident in the fourth season of the show when was teamed up with professional dancer Karina . Billy Ray Cyrus is a singer and actor with a wide following. He lacked skills in dancing to put it nicely. This did not prevent Billy Ray from making it to the final five contestants of the season. It was quite remarkable actually that he lasted all the way to be eliminated 7th.

I am a very large fan of both the show Dancing with the Stars and also of Billy Ray Cyrus and I even knew that he should have been eliminated before he was. The simple fact that the public gets to vote as well as the judges allowed Billy Ray and Karina to stay in the competition longer. If it were strictly up to the judges, they would have been eliminated long before they were.

One other reason for the wide acceptance of the show Dancing with the Stars could be the fact that this particular show is not age specific for its target audience. There really is not a target age. The show can be enjoyed by both children and adults as well as by females and males alike.

No matter why people like the show, it is true that people do seem to have fallen for Dancing with the Stars. Many people are anxiously awaiting the arrival of season seven to see who will compete this time and who will win.Kathy is a guest writer at Reality-TV-Online.

If it is, I do not see how.

It is true there have been more male winners of Dancing with the Stars than female winners but I do not believe they won because they were males. I have faithfully watched the program; week after week and season after season and do not believe the sex of the contestant even is a factor in their scores for a given week. In fact, I believe the only thing that the sex of the contestants helps to determine on Dancing with the Stars is who their partner will be.

There are those fans of the show that believe the male contestants have a distinct advantage on Dancing with the Stars over their . I will give some credit to the statement on the basis that the males have won four out of six seasons but that is not because they were males, it was because they did a better job learning the given dances.

That brings us to another speculation I have heard concerning the contestants on Dancing with the Stars. I have heard it said a few different times that the female that they employ on the program are of better quality than the male professional dancers. I am not a dancer so the only way I can determine that is by the outcome of the shows. It would appear that the are better teachers but I am not saying they are better dancers.

If the females can teach the dances in question better than the , than that would give the male contestants an advantage. I am not saying it is true or not but I am just saying, there are people that believe the females are better at communicating the so that would give the an easier time learning the dances.

Some people have speculated as to why the men are winning more seasons then the woman at a fact that the men are stronger and therefore more able to take on the physical demands of learning the dances. There may be some merit to these allegations as both women that were the final winners of their seasons are very athletic by nature. Kristi Yamaguchi is a professional figure skater and Kelly Monaco is a very physically active actress.

Now what can be attributed to that fact that the male celebrities have had a winning record of two to one? Could it be the female professionals are more equipped or better at teaching dances? Or could it possibly be the public liked the male celebrities more to begin with so they had a better chance of winning overall approval? No matter why it happens, the fact remains, the males seem to have a 2 to 1 advantage when it comes to the possibility of winning the final episode of Dancing with the Stars.

No matter why it is true, the facts speak for themselves. The male celebrities have won four of the six seasons of Dancing with the Stars. Whether it be because they are stronger, have better teachers, or just want to win, will never really be known for sure. Watch the next season and come to your own conclusion.Kathy is a guest writer at Reality-TV-Online.

If not, that is surprising. Dancing With the Stars is a television show that is loved by many different people of all different ages. For example, I am a mother of 6 children. Dancing With the Stars is the only show that my children, all except the baby because he can not talk, and I love to watch. We try not to miss a single episode.

My oldest, an eleven year old girl and my 4th oldest, a four year old girl, sit week after week glued to the screen hoping to pick up some to use in their drill squad performances. If we have to miss an episode, I hear it for days from them both.

Then there is the , and by that I mean the portion of my family that are boys. I have two boys that watch it weekly as well and they are 7 and 8 years old. The older of the two watch it wondering if he will ever dance like that and the younger of the two watch it hoping to see someone mess up. Go figure, .

I personally like to watch it because it shows that celebrities do not automatically come by a wide array of talent they have to work to become good at some things. My personal favorite celebrity that has been on the show, probably showed that more than some. is my favorite of the all the celebrities that have appeared on Dancing With the Stars. He struggled from day one. He was large and awkward to put it nicely.

Billy Ray never let his hold him back though. He gave it his all every time he performed. An interesting point is that season, all of my children were also rooting Billy Ray on. Granted they were rooting for him because he is the father to their favorite actress but none the less, it again shows the wide range of ages that enjoy the show. After all, any show that can keep the interest of a woman in their mid to late 30s and also her six children must have something worthwhile in it.

Now let us take a minute to compare what the different age groups think of the judges. The three widely known judges are; Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, Bruno Tonili. Every one has their own opinion of the judges. Some like one or two of them and there are also some that like all three or none of them. I like the fact that the judges usually will be right on the money. However, I have noticed that my children tend to get upset with the judges, even when their scores are warranted, if the judges give their favorite performer a bad score. They seem to be hardest on Carrie Ann, especially my boys.

No matter what age, sex, or geographic area you are from, chances are you have seen an episode or more of the ever popular show Dancing With the Stars. If you have children, try to sit down and watch an episode with them. It is a fun way to install quality family time in this hectic world we live in.Kathy is a guest writer at Reality-TV-Online.

Shakespeare's Cassius laments, "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in the stars, but in ourselves." The late , in describing the physical connectedness of human being to the rest of the universe, said, "We are all made of star stuff," and in those seven words summed up the mystery of where we came from and where we are going.

The stars were intimately connected with the development of human civilization, first because they enabled early farmers to judge the passage of the seasons and know when to plant or harvest their crops. The patterns in the night sky would change as the Earth rotated, and the people above the equator knew that when Orion was completely visible, winter was on the way.

The stars, and especially Polaris, or the , also made seafaring navigation possible. Ancient sailors would be able to get a fix on their locations simply by seeing how high the North Star was above the horizon. Without the stars to steer by, the European's arrival in the New World might have been delayed until the aviation era!

Stars shine and twinkle, and the star closest to us, our Sun, provides the light and warmth which make the Earth the life giving miraculous planet it is. The sun, and all stars, are huge nuclear furnaces with unimaginably intense atomic reactions taking place at their cores which result in heat and light.

The simple truth is that stars have been essential to human survival from the time of the Garden of Eden, and are so loaded with beautiful symbolic meaning that there are some terrific ideas.

Some star for astrology and astronomy buffs are to have an astrological sign tattooed against a galaxy of colored stars; or a miniature solar system with the being circled by the planets. "Shooting stars" while they are not actually stars but which burn up when they enter the Earth's atmosphere, make star tattoo ideas.

Shooting star tattoo ideas can vary from having a single star with a tail to several stars, as in a meteor shower. And the stars themselves can be different, because the number of points a star design has will change its meaning. Or the star could actually be a sunburst, and the tail could be a made of a few simple lines or a fully developed flame. How about a rocketship blasting off into your own galaxy of shooting stars? Or a shooting star trailing your name?

Other star tattoo ideas can be taken from the history of nautical navigation. The nautical star tattoo was a seafarer's way of protecting himself at sea and ensuring that he would find his way home. It has since been adopted by military personnel, and for other people it simply represents the desire for a safe passage through life.

Tthe number of points a star has can be the inspiration for star tattoos ideas; the four pointed star is a symbol of the Star of Bethlehem. The "star fish", or five pointed star, is also called a Pentagram, and has a variety of meanings. It meant health to the ancient Greeks, an inverted Pentagram is a symbol of devil worship.

The six pointed star is, of course, the Star of David, and the seven pointed star is a symbol of luck. Star tattoo ides using a seven pointed star can include the paraphernalia of gambling, for "lucky sevens." And if you are involved with law enforcement, you'll know seven-pointed stars are common as badges.

Count the stars if you can, and you'll have an idea of how many star tattoo ideas are waiting, if you'll only turn your imagination loose!

Admiring the stars is not an exclusive are only allowed to perform, but it can be something you can share with them while introducing them to the unknown world of the universe.

If your child has already looked up gazing the and has asked you all sort of questions regarding their characteristics, their special stories and the interpretation of their slow movements, you should invest some time during a Saturday night to take your kids to the countryside and show them the stars while they awe and wonder on how these "pins" are stuck on the and why they are not visible during the day. Introducing your child to the marvels above their heads can be a tremendously your kids will love to repeat as soon as possible. Even your back yard is an ideal place to begin the learning journey that can last a lifetime. But parents support that most of the times getting started is the hardest part of this process.

If your young child has not yet learned the basics, then it is probably wisely to throw on your yard's lawn some blankets and invite your children to join you under the stars. Asking first questions, before trying to explain how things are, can assist you to figure out what they should learn first and begin teaching them the first in their lives. After locating the sky's landmarks try asking questions that will your children and will motivate them to want to find out more. You can begin by locating the most easily recognizable element of the sky, the Moon before attempt to begin explaining why although the moon does not spin around itself, we actually see a portion of it every day until we are able to admire it as a whole. Furthermore you can look for other landmarks in the sky, like stars, in order to begin explaining the astronomical constellations. Your children will be thrilled to be able to admire such interesting scenery simply by looking at the moon's surface and create imaginative stories for the stars.

While children are still in elementary and middle school, they are more already exposed to stars and constellations. But the number of constellations and stars we are able to see each year is actually a very small number out of the plethora of stars in the sky. But if your last present to your teenager kid was a pair of binoculars, then things become even simpler. Bring a book about astronomy (suitable for your kids age) and begin reading and explaining to your children what you are reading really means.

Remember that outdoor learning activities can be as simple as noting the time and location of sunset and moon rise, and as complicated as finding the names of the brightest stars in the sky during a clear night. Of course, you can repeat it as often as you like if the weather permits such outdoor activities for a family to get together. But even if the weather conditions do not allow you to go out and admire the night sky, next to a good pair of eyes, the Internet is the backyard stargazer's best friend. Today, you will be able to find here are almost as many great websites devoted to astronomy as there are stars in the sky.

Admiring the is not an exclusive are only allowed to perform, but it can be something you can share with them while introducing them to the unknown world of the universe.

If your child has already looked up gazing the moon and the stars and has asked you all sort of questions regarding their characteristics, their special stories and the interpretation of their slow movements, you should invest some time during a Saturday night to take your kids to the countryside and show them the stars while they awe and wonder on how these andquot;pinsandquot; are stuck on the and why they are not visible during the day. Introducing your child to the marvels above their heads can be a tremendously educative experience your kids will love to repeat as soon as possible. Even your back yard is an ideal place to begin the learning journey that can last a lifetime. But parents support that most of the times getting started is the hardest part of this process.

If your young child has not yet learned the basics, then it is probably wisely to throw on your yard's lawn some blankets and invite your children to join you under the stars. Asking first questions, before trying to explain how things are, can assist you to figure out what they should learn first and begin teaching them the first in their lives. After locating the sky's landmarks try that will your children and will motivate them to want to find out more. You can begin by locating the most easily recognizable element of the sky, the Moon before attempt to begin explaining why although the moon does not spin around itself, we actually see a portion of it every day until we are able to admire it as a whole. Furthermore you can look for other landmarks in the sky, like stars, in order to begin explaining the astronomical constellations. Your children will be thrilled to be able to admire such interesting scenery simply by looking at the moon's surface and create imaginative stories for the stars.

While children are still in elementary and middle school, they are more already exposed to stars and constellations. But the number of constellations and stars we are able to see each year is actually a very small number out of the plethora of stars in the sky. But if your last present to your teenager kid was a pair of binoculars, then things become even simpler. Bring a book about astronomy (suitable for your kids age) and begin reading and explaining to your children what you are reading really means.

Remember that outdoor learning activities can be as simple as noting the time and location of sunset and moon rise, and as complicated as finding the names of the brightest stars in the sky during a clear night. Of course, you can repeat it as often as you like if the weather permits such outdoor activities for a family to get together. But even if the weather conditions do not allow you to go out and admire the night sky, next to a good pair of eyes, the Internet is the backyard stargazer's best friend. Today, you will be able to find here are almost as many great websites devoted to astronomy as there are stars in the sky.

The celebrities can be actors, actresses, singers, athletes or . They can really be any person that is famous and has a following of any kind. Do the athletes have an advantage over the non athlete celebrities? There have been 6 seasons, let us take a look at the winners and their professions.

Celebrities on Dancing with the Stars that won and their Profession:

Season 1 - Kelly Monaco--Actress--Winner

Season 2 - Drew Lachey--Singer--Winner

Season 3 - --Retired NFL Running Back--Winner

Season 4 - Apolo Anton Ohno--Speed Skater--Winner

Season 5 - Helio Castroneves--Indy 500 Champion--Winner

Season 6 - Kristi Yamaguchi--Champion Skater--Winner

In the six years of Dancing with the Stars, there have been four athletes, one singer and one actress as winners. Therefore you can understand why certain people believe that the athletes have a over the other contestants on the show.

As for if athletes have an advantage over non-athletes on the show, how can that even be a possibility. The only way someone would have an advantage over another contestant, would be if they were more agile or had the ability to learn faster than their competitors. All of the contestants are learning new dances. All of the contestants start with the same score and have to win the vote of the public and the . Sure, some people like to talk about well he has an advantage or she does because their experience. But let me ask you, take the winner in season 3, Emmitt Smith. He was a very famous running back in the NFL. He was one of the contestants that was an athlete but I ask you, how is being an athlete in the sport of football an advantage on the dance floor?

In football, you barrel through your opposite team as forcefully as you can. While on the dance floor you need to be graceful and agile. If anything, I would say his professional career as a football player gave him a disadvantage yet he still won the competition in season 3.

There are several factors that are more important than what type of a celebrity the contestants are. There is first and perhaps most importantly, who is the individual teamed with? What professional dancer was any given celebrity teamed with for the competition? If the match is a good one, the pair can go far. If, however, the match is less than perfect, that in itself could be the biggest disadvantage a celebrity could face during the whole season.

There is also the question of whether or not the celebrity is any good at dancing to begin with. If the celebrity is a good dancer, that is a big advantage in a competition like this. Likewise, if the individual does not dance,then they are at an extreme disadvantage over contestants that do dance and an even bigger disadvantage over the contestants that dance well.

No matter what profession any given celebrity has on Dancing with the Stars, they all begin the season with the same score and must learn the dances at the same time. I do not believe an athlete has any advantage over other contestants. What do you think?Kathy is a guest writer at Reality-TV-Online.

Visualization is a big part of being able to attain any goal! Many people fail to picture themselves reaching their goals and this is what holds them back from being as successful as they could be.

Allow Visualization to Get You There

When you set a goal for yourself do you often envision yourself reaching that goal and then talk yourself out of it? Do you constantly have a negative dialog going in your mind that talks you out of everything that you want to do? Don't allow this to happen. Instead of allowing for these to take over and control your destiny, literally allow yourself to "see" that moment when you reach your goal. You could even picture yourself every step along the way to give yourself greater clarity as to what it is you are trying to do.

If you have a hard time visualizing yourself reaching your goals you don't have to give in and give up, what you need are some tools around you to help create the picture in your mind. Often you need help just visualizing yourself in a along the way when things get stressful, busy, or just a bit too hectic. You can do this by looking at a or picture and then making that your reality, even if it is just for a few minutes time. You would be surprised at how simple and effective something like this can be.

If you need help with visualization while you are at your desk or on your computer you may find that it is helpful to download . Downloading wallpapers to your op may not sound like something that will help you reach your goals, but when you download an inspirational scene that you can draw strength or relaxation from, you'll find out that this may be exactly what you need! Who knew that visualization aides could be as close as your desktop?

If you want to succeed and to reach the goals that you set for yourself in this life you have to have a plan. Part of this plan is being able to see yourself reaching your goals and being able to visualize yourself in peaceful and constructive settings, even when you aren't in one. If success were easy to attain than none of us would have to set goals, we would just reach them, this means that you'll have to work to become successful but through visualization it can become a reality for you. Visualization can be as easy as a picture, a quote, or even downloading free desktop wallpapers! Surround yourself by all of these tools and make it happen for yourself!Shannon M.

Roller Rush is a game of skill and strategy as well as fast reflexes. The game starts out easy, with good time spacing between customers. The higher the level, however, the more customers you get and the faster they come. There are different types of customers -- some more impatient that others. You tend to get the more impatient ones at the higher levels.

The overall theme of the game is a treat, especially if you are into retro. You have a jukebox that in the background throughout the game. It uses a default playlist. However, you can tweak the game and have the jukebox play your own mp3s stored on your hard drive! Now you can play and at the same time.

The graphics are not spectacular but they suit the game very well. They are pleasing to the eyes and different animations make for a good gaming experience.

We all dream of performing better, we all dream of reaching the stars; yet when we get up everyday, do we feel like we could reach the moon and the stars? About 70% of us would answer in the negative here. We all know the importance of motivation, we all think that the only way we can reach them, is by having the motivation to take that flight to the moon and back. Yet we don't have the will to fight, we don't feel motivated enough to achieve our goals. A lot of things clutter our way, our self image, cynicism, fear, boredom, distrust, or plain procrastination. How do we go about curing this mental lethargy? How do we achieve what we set out to achieve? The answer is pretty simple, turn to hypnotherapy for motivation. And the best part is that it is now available in High Wycombe. A session with leading hypnotherapist, Terry Doherty can help you address all motivational issues, at his hypnotherapy clinic at High Wycombe and Buckinghamshire.

Hypnotherapy works on the principle of auto suggestion and positive reinforcement. All the while that you use hypnotherapy techniques, you will be gently coaxing your subconscious mind to alter its self -- image, as well as the way it perceives others and self. We might not be aware of it, but our subconscious often dictates the way we behave, speak, act, or think. If our subconscious fails to instill hope in us, or to energize us to do better, we can never succeed in succeeding. If only we could somehow get our subconscious back on track. Our subconscious mind is a tricky place, but one that has immense potential. Through redirecting your subconscious, and making it think positively, you can change your outward behavior, as well as the way you think and act. Hypnotherapy helps you change your perception towards yourself and other things; it also does away with unwanted negative beliefs, leaving your mind uncluttered to focus on the goals.

Yes, before you choose hypnotherapy for motivation, you should decide the goals you want to achieve. If your goal is blurred, how can you even focus on it? Hypnotherapy at my High Wycombe and Hertfordshire practices can help you with motivation in performing better at work, in sports, in studies and exams and even in relationships. It's a truth that we all need motivation to achieve victories, big and small- be it on the personal front or professional. We all have individual motivations to boost our performance -- the desire to live a better life, the desire to be wealthier; the desire to be a top performer...the list is endless. However, once in a while when we find ourselves slipping on the motivation front, it is necessary to bring it back on track. We all need the zeal to do better and hypnotherapy for motivation could be just the remedy. Terry Doherty is a world renowned Hypnotherapist and life coach.

In essence, Astronomy isn't just about studying stars, as most people think. It's actually a study of celestial objects, which includes not only stars but also planets, comets and entire galaxies. In fact, Astronomy also studies different phenomena that come from outside of the earth's atmosphere, such as auroras and .

In addition, Astronomy, is concerned with a host of other sciences, including physics, evolution, chemistry, how celestial objects move and how the universe was formed and developed. Scientists routinely use Astronomy to test some of the most fundamental theories in physics, such as general relativity. In attempting to explain , astronomy joins hands with astrophysics.

Overall, Astronomy is among the oldest sciences known to mankind. Records show that there were astronomers dating back to the days of ancient Greece and India. This is probably where advanced observation techniques originated. In addition, the scientific history of man shows how many have contributed and played an active role in observing and discovering what is referred to as .

With the dawn of the 20th century, Astronomy was divided into two sciences. These are and . The first one is concerned with getting data and this involves building and maintaining a host of different instruments as well as processing the results of the data it acquires. There are some who refer to this as andquot;astrometryandquot; or simply as andquot;astronomyandquot;. On the other hand, theoretical astrophysics has to do with ascertaining the implications that can be observed through a computer or through analytical models.

There are those who confuse modern astronomy with astrology but they are two very different things. Astrology revolves around a belief system that presupposes that the different positions of celestial objects have a direct bearing on human affairs. In a nutshell, it is fortune telling with the aid of the stars. Astronomy and astrology obviously share the same common origins but most scientists and other knowledgeable observers know that both fields are clearly distinct.

The Organizations

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

Frontal Collision Ratings

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

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

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

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

Side-Impact Ratings

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

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

Rollover Ratings

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

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

Low-Impact Bumper Test

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

When you shop

Considering the safety ratings of cars is important. But it is also important to know how these ratings are measured so that you can make the most informed decision about your purchase. Maybe you want your car to be cool, or to be functional, but most of all you want it to be safe. Andrew Dillan is the editor of http://www.theguideto-carloans.com, The Guide to Car Loans.

While we have great respect for the art of acting, as explicated from Stanislavsky to Strasberg, the latter of whom we knew well and were fond of, we have never understood how the usual snippets who decide to become actors in the minds of the public from being initially generally regarded as likely ne'er-do-wells to being considered the most readily available font of on just about every topic that troubles the of contemporary humanity.

Are we so doubtful of our own confidence to make up our minds that the resplendent light in which a current movie star is illuminated by his own publicity agents blinds us to the very probable vapidity of his or her own mind? After all, there is a certain disjunction between what movie stars do to win our attentions and what we expect of them once they succeed.

They bring themselves to our attention by committing to memory, or by reading off one kind of prompter or another, words devised by others. We won't go so far as to say they achieve renown by presenting the thoughts of others, since realistic drama, in most of its contemporary manifestations, is apparently unable to present characters who might actually have an occasional considerable thought.

But, once they ascend to the starry vault that over us, do we expect of them anything consonant with the ability to recite the usual inanities? No, suddenly we want these storied performers to transform themselves into the wise harbingers of original insight and exemplary advice. We even search the most mundane aspects of their personal lives for a hint or two as to how we might enhance the happiness of our own comparatively lives. Or, just as often, we suppose, in the hope of finding that, despite their great reservoir of astonishing expertise, their own lives are inexplicably entangled in antics so confoundedly absurd that their shortcomings make us feel far superior in the relatively rickety guidance of our own lives.

Since we can only be sure that the lights of stage and screen will continue to be presented to us with all the wiles that can be managed through the deft employment of colorful media, as the engaging exemplars of how we should only hope to live, it appears that the only way to alter the mutual mockery is to become more realistic about what we really ought to expect from our dazzling stars-brights.
