It's a sad fact that some creditors seem to think that you run some kind of "checks unlimited" reserve, and expect you to submit as many checks to them as possible every single month. What with bills and groceries, it's not all that uncommon to find yourself without enough cash to make it through until your next payday — which, if you're like most working stiffs, may be as much as a week or more away. If you're low on bank funds or you're trying real hard not to touch that retirement nest egg, what are your legal options? Your bank's unlikely to be willing to agree to a $200 loan to tide you over. It's a big chunk of money or nothing, since after all they need to pay for the bank president's yacht, and interest on a piddling loan like the one you're after isn't even enough to pay for a gallon of diesel.
To the rescue!
Fortunately, a variety of lesser financial institutions have stepped into the gap with small short-term loans to cover just such shortfalls. Admittedly, these "payday loans" also tend to carry high rates — sometimes extremely high, because they're considered high risk. Here's how it works. You head to your local check cashier or finance company, which may offer payday loans ranging in size from $100 to $500 (sometimes higher). You write them a check, which will consist of the amount you need plus a fee, and post-date it to just after your next payday. They'll give you the amount of money the check's made out for, less the fee, and put the check aside until it's time to deposit it. Et viol — a flexible loan that takes care of your immediate needs.
Many lenders make use of a service called Teletrack to make sure that you really do have an account with a particular bank, so that they can expect to be paid when they deposit your check. You see, despite all the banking information on your checks, most lenders are well aware of the fact that you can order checks online that have anything printed on them: they've been fooled too many times. However, on the other side of the desk there are plenty of people who don't want some check cashier checking them out with Teletrack, so these days facilities offering "no Teletrack payday loans" are thriving. It's as easy to find these venders online as it is to find places where you can get cheap mail order checks; and if you prefer to preserve your privacy, no Teletrack lenders just might be the ideal alternative.
Can you say ouch?
Payday loans can save your bacon, but that's not to say that there's not a downside. The fee structure, especially for a no-Teletrack payday loan, typically comes to a few percent per fifty or a hundred dollars. Given the Truth in Lending Law, most lenders won't hesitate to lay it all out for you; and really, a few percent doesn't sound so bad, right? Think again. If the fee is 5% per $50, that means you'll have to pay $10 per $100 borrowed — and the percentage goes up with every $50. On the other hand, if the car needs a new tire right away so you can get to work, or you really need a few hundred bucks to pay that annoying bill collector, that 10% or 20% interest may be the sweetest fee you've ever paid. With no-Teletrack loans, you get the money you need and maintain your privacy, too.

HA NOI (VNS) — Electronics retailer Tran Anh Digital World JSC said it will close its electronics supermarkets in Vincom's Times City and Royal City on February 24.
The closure was announced after Vingroup, the owner of the two retail and entertainment complexes, said it plans to occupy the rented space.
Tran Anh Digital made the announcement regarding the closures on February 12, saying it is committed to ensuring warranty and other services for customers purchasing products at the two supermarkets.
The company also said it is looking for new retail space.
This year, Tran Anh is expected to open about five new supermarkets in the northern provinces and about four new ones in Ha Noi, including those being closed at the Times City and Royal City.
Going forward, the firm will open four new supermarkets in the AEON Long Bien commercial centre in Ha Noi and Hai Phong, and the Bac Giang and Thai Binh provinces.
Vingroup's recalling the retail space in the two complexes is said to be in anticipation of its newly-established VinPro Trading and Services Company Ltd occupying the vacated space.
The firm, based in HCM City, has a charter capital of VND50 billion (US$2.38 million), with VND47 billion ($2.23 million) contributed by Vingroup.
In a plan updated on January 3 this year, VinPro said it will also aim to enter the electronics goods retail market from March onwards.
It will officially inaugurate four electronics supermarkets in Vincom Dong Khoi and Vincom Thu Duc in HCM City, and in Times City and Royal City in Ha Noi.
In June 2015, VinPro plans to open three new supermarkets in Da Nang, Quang Ninh Province's Ha Long City and Ha Noi. Another one will be opened in the southern province of Can Tho in August. It expects to open 17 more stores in cities and provinces nationwide in November and December.
VinPro is targeting 25 supermarket openings in 2016 and 30 more in 2017. — VNS

This week, Brexit shenanigans cost British Prime Minister Boris Johnson his majority in Parliament and lunchtime wedgies from his brother Jo, who resigned as MP and minister citing "unresolvable tension."
The prime minister's attempts to regain a majority through October snap elections were stymied by opponents who want a no-deal Brexit off the table. Johnson wants to keep it as an option.
As John Oliver reminded us, in the U.K. it is "against the law to use footage from the House of Commons for the purpose of comedy." Maybe because it's too easy. Just this week...
Countdown to Brexit: 55 days. Maybe.

Painting and Decorating Services in Rathfarnham
Are you considering giving your home or business a new look? Do you need to repaint after a tenant has vacated your own property? Do you need to repair water stains on ceilings and walls or over walls in which mold was eliminated? It may be tempting to do the task yourself, which can result in cost savings. But, there are many reasons you should consider selecting a professional painter and decorator support.
Prices of Equipment
Good painting of interiors or exteriors requires an investment in equipment — brushes, rollers, sprayers, tarp to shield surfaces and surfaces, ladders, scaffolding, sanders, chemical knifes, patching materials, solvents, the listing can quickly become long and pricey. Hiring a professional painter and decorator usually means that the painter comes with the tools they will need to perform the job correctly, will clean up those tools whenever they are completed and will require them away to be stored elsewhere.
Protection of Your Property and Avoiding a Mess
A professional painter and decorator will have the right equipment and be educated and knowledgeable about how to protect furniture, flooring, cupboards, paths and other items which you don't want painted out of any harm. If your work involves staining, a professional will have the right equipment and experience to use the stain properly to achieve the right finish and once attained, protect the finish.
A professional painter will even thoroughly clean up the work area when the project is finished.
Planning is Key
A professional painter and painter is going to learn that preparation is the trick to a great looking, long-lasting paint job. The walls or other surfaces that have to be painted might have to be thoroughly cleaned, patched, decreased and/or primed. Areas with water or mold staining may require further therapy and patching before they are ready for a final paint job. It is a good deal of work and if it is not done properly with appropriate tools and methods, it won't lead to an excellent finish.
Skills and Patience
Painting requires patience to produce a beautiful quality finish and in addition, it takes skill that is developed with practice and expertise. A professional will learn how to complete all the preparation and painting tasks involved to reach the best outcome.
In Dublin, there are a number of options that a professional painter and decorator may start for you, which you could not have the skills or experience to do your self, including specific finishes (intumescent endings (which are fireproof), faux finishes and textured painting, by way of example).
A professional painter may also know the substances which are needed to do the job right. Which primer will offer the correct coverage? Latex or oil? Matte, semi-gloss, high gloss? Which primer base is demanded? What paint foundation? Roller or spray?
A professional painter will have the ability to recommend materials that are best to achieve the look you want, while avoiding any damage to your surfaces. With that advice, you can attain a greater quality finish that will endure.
For outdoor tasks, a specialist will know the right weather, temperature and sunlight conditions to finish the job with the best outcomes. Stains respond differently in direct sunshine than when it is overcast, and at several temperatures. While rain obviously impacts the job, heat and humidity can also affect the quality of exterior paint finishes.
Climbing on ladders while attempting to apply paint properly is a skilled job which requires careful focus and attention to prevent serious injury and harm. The higher the site that requires painting, the greater the danger of an crash. For inside projects with high areas or outside jobs, a professional painter may have all the tools and expertise necessary to perform the work correctly and safely, including the right dimensions and layout of ladder and scaffolding.
Your time is valuable and painting yourself requires a substantial quantity of time. Having a professional painter and decorator take care of the job for you can save you days and days of effort, and can normally be achieved in a much shorter time period.
A study from Trinity College Dublin indicates the average Irish man requires 28 hours per day to accomplish all his or her tasks. Avoid including a paint job into that and talk to a professional painter about your needs.

UNM-LA News:
Since the Secret City Kitchen opened a café in the UNM-Los Alamos (UNM-LA) Student Center in November 2016, students, UNM-LA employees and community members have been enjoying the convenience of having a restaurant on campus.
Owner Jeremy Varela's menu of breakfast and lunch items has a regular following of customers, and draws new customers every day. Initially, the Secret City Kitchen operated the café as a satellite service, with their main catering kitchen in a different location. Recently, Varela centralized his operations at UNM-LA.
"I chose to locate the Secret City Kitchen on the UNM-LA campus to make an investment in the community," explained Varela. "It was a way to fill a need for food service at UNM-LA, and also to complement their facilities rental program by offering on-site catering. This is the best place in Los Alamos to host meetings. There are multiple room sizes and configurations, free wi-fi, and access to AV equipment."
The Secret City Kitchen serves made-to-order food 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. each Wednesday. Their selections combine southwestern flavors with Indian influence, thanks to chef Sanaa Ahmed. The turkey jack grilled sandwich and tandoori chicken wrap continue to be favorites with customers, but the new burrito bowl and smothered burritos also are very popular. In the near future Varela hopes to provide more salads, cold sandwiches and ready to go items in the café. Secret City Kitchen also serves espresso drinks and selected baked goods.
The café menu can be viewed at https://secretcitykitchen.com/.
Ahmed is joined in the Secret City Kitchen by J.D. Beddo, a Los Alamos native who has returned after spending time working as a chef in Taos. Ahmed and Beddo thoroughly enjoy preparing food, serving it to customers and hearing their comments.
In addition to the café menu, the Secret City Kitchen offers Tapas 5-7 p.m. Tuesdays at Bathtub Row Brewing, family-style dinners Wednesdays and catering. All food is now prepared in the UNM-LA kitchen, and customers can pick up their pre-ordered Wednesday dinner on campus. (See their website for information about menus and delivery options.)
"Customers are always welcome to place their café order online, and select a pick-up time," Varela said. "Even if they choose to eat their meal in the UNM-LA Student Center, it allows them to plan their time accordingly."
UNM-LA CEO Dr. Cindy Rooney said, "We appreciate the opportunity to expand our working relationship with Jeremy, Sanaa and J.D., and the increased hours and new menu items they have added. We always enjoy sharing our campus with community members, and have been pleased to see an increase of events catered by the Secret City Kitchen."

USDJPY has retraced .786 of its bounce off 100.76, completing a Gartley Pattern. A decent bounce will will set up the yellow channel midline tag we've been discussing at the purple 1.272 for a Butterfly Pattern completion at 100.18.
Although, remember that Butterflies can extend to the 1.618 as well (99.46) which would mesh nicely with the white .500 at 99.60 (if I'm not mistaken, this could work as the 5th of the 1st wave down.) And, if the .786 bounce isn't all that substantial, the target remains the same: the .618 bounce sets up a Crab Pattern at the 1.618 just fine.

Who's ready for this story to end?
September 1, 2004
The Kobe Bryant case came crashing to its inevitable conclusion today. My thoughts on the sad saga remain much the same as when I wrote about it last summer:
Everyone has an opinion about the basketball star's guilt or innocence, but the only people who truly know what happened in that hotel room are Kobe and the victim. Personally, I'm more than ready to move past this story. The public's appetite for such news seems insatiable; I wonder whether I lose interest faster than most people. I tired of the O.J. Simpson and Columbine stories long before they stopped dominating national headlines. How about you?
Of course, Kobe will dominate our front page Thursday. We have the benefit of receiving coverage from our sister paper, the Vail Daily, which also is owned by the Tribune's parent company, Swift Newspapers. Already, they're sharing coverage on our Web site:

Impression-Obsession Old Is New - Gentle Hugs
I'm going green and white with my card today...
I stamped the Fawn Lily L12010 onto bristol card stock, with Ranger Archival fern green ink. I colored the lily and leaves with Faber-Castell polychromos colored pencils.
I did a Google search for fawn lilies, as I didn't know what colors they were. Most were white, so I made mine white. I always find it a challenge 'coloring' something white on white paper. I really looked at the images I saw on Google, and saw lots blues, greens, and yellows in the shadows of the white flowers, so decided to play those colors up on mine for the shading.
I kept the composition of the card simple, to keep the flowers the center of attention. Just a simple light green A2 card, with a darker strip of green cardstock along the edge. I die cut the image in a circle, having the uppermost flower spilling over the circle, as well as the tiny tip of one of the upper leaves. I love the interest this adds to a simple layout.
For the verse, I chose the Gentle Hugs C13766. I love the print with the script. A little distressing around the circle and the verse panel, and some foam tape for mounting give added dimension. A trio of Studio Katia sparkling crystals give just a hint of sparkle.
For the inside of the card, I stamped a partial fawn lily, and a verse from the Lilies of the Field CL929 set.
I left plenty of space for a hand-written sentiment or note.
This is one of those cards that is meant to give hope to the recipient. Just to let them know they are on your mind and heart. A good one for the anniversary of a loved-one's passing also.
I hope you are enjoying our Old is New days on the IO blog.
Don't forget to check out the other design team projects HERE.

Courtney tells Eric that it may be time to introduce time out to the sextuplets after they start 'hitting' and 'biting' each other in this EXCLUSIVE preview of the new 'Sweet Home Sextuplets.'
Courtney and Eric Waldrop have their hands full with the sextuplets, who are getting bigger and more rambunctious by the day. Blu goes near a power outlet, and Courtney has to scoop him up before he gets hurt in this EXCLUSIVE preview of the June 30 episode of Sweet Home Sextuplets. Courtney tells Eric that Blu will not stop climbing on the table, and they've got to put a stop to it.
"Another thing that I'm so concerned about is that the babies have been hitting each other and biting each other," Courtney admits to Eric. She thinks that it's maybe time to introduce time out. "Everything with 6 babies is a whole new ball game compared to 1 or 2," Eric says in a confessional with Courtney.
Courtney and Eric both know that they're going to have to do something about the sextuplets before things get out of hand. There are 6 of them and only 2 parents! The sextuplets are in the Terrible Twos, that's for sure!
"It's going to be tough to do this, and it's going to be a lot of trial and error," Eric says. Courtney adds, "But we've gotta start somewhere."
Courtney and Eric are no stranger to parenthood. Before the sextuplets arrived, the couple had already welcomed three kids: Saylor, now 11, and twins Bridge and Wales, now 8. The sextuplets — Blu, Layke, Rawlings, Rayne, Rivers, and Tag — just turned 2 years old in Dec. 2019.
This season on Sweet Home Sextuplets, the Waldrops take on major home renovations. The sextuplets are also starting preschool early, which Courtney and Eric hope will facilitate their continued development. With money a little tight during home renovations, the family decides to hold one birthday extravaganza for all 9 kids, since their birthdays all fall within a month of each other. Sweet Home Sextuplets airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on TLC.

Author Websites
One of my favorite things to do after immersing myself in a good book is to search the internet for the author's website. A few of my favorite authors have great websites that I have been known to spend many an hour losing time in. I enjoy uncovering new facts about favorite characters, reading the author's inspiration for the story or viewing pictures of real life locations that inspired the fantasy.
Here are a few of my favorite author's websites:
Anne Gracie's website is a gem. The site here http://www.annegracie.com/index.htm is full of great pages for each of her books with collages of pictures and items that inspired her characters and their stories, photographs of the locations where she sets her books and historical information on causes and issues of the historical period.
Elizabeth Boyle is a writer of historical romance and her fun website includes FAQs, her blog, family trees of the fictional families and tidbits on what inspired her to write her stories.
Tom Bullough author of The Claude Glass has a great website here http://www.tombullough.com/index.html Tom's site is so personal with information on his life, his writings and his passions. I especially enjoy his blog although I wish he would update it more often.
Julia Quinn's website here http://www.juliaquinn.com/ is full of information on her books, the characters, what she's working on next and includes deleted book scenes and her blog.
One of my favorite authors Anne Rice also has an interesting website which is beautifully designed and loaded with information. Years ago I used to love discovering new things on Rice's site such as pictures of her doll collection or the homes she owned in New Orleans...But since Rice found her religion, I've avoided her website and it's over emphasis on her return to Catholicism. Little creepy... and not in a good way.
Well what ever you are reading, take a look at the author's online home and you'll be delightfully surprised at what you may find.

And so it begins... The Ava did it excuse!!! I was wondering when Layla was going to catch on, that now she has someone, to blame things on. Well, finally the day has arrived! Something is missing, broken, written on, drooled on, something spilled, was eaten, thrown away, whatever the case AVA DID IT!!!! It's just that simple!!! No matter what happens in the Fernandez Household, Layla will turn to her father or I and say "AVA DID IT!!!", with out batting an eyelash!
Now I try to let Layla know that you can't just go around blaming her sister, its just not fair, when she knows that alot of the things are either her own doing, or both are to blame but today in the morning I got slapped with evidence that my little beauty may not be so innocent after all and maybe Layla isn't exaggerating when she says: AVA DID IT!!!
Now this balloon was given to Layla by her aunt and last night was full of air!! Now I heard Layla yelling a few times "Mom Ava has my balloon" to which I answered "Layla come on share with your sister" So today before I left the house to go to work, Layla comes to me with said balloon in hand and asking what happened to my balloon. I tried to explain that balloons loose air, it happens, she turns to walk away, and then like a light bulb went off she turns back around and says "SEE AVA DID IT, THAT'S WHY I DON'T SHARE"
Now look at this book I found a deal at target for these cute little bucks for a dollar!! and I brought 4 home! This one was Layla's favorite, because it's about a fish!!!! Well, after the balloon drama she comes out of the room with this in hand and says "YOU SEE LIKE MY BOOK MOMMA, AVA DID IT" Oh no, she had to show me that this is a pattern with Ava!!!
OK so maybe Layla is on to something, maybe she is right when she says Ava did it. Ava is smaller and she is at that stage that everything either gets, thrown, ripped, or put in her mouth! She is exploring trying to find out what things do and how they work! I can't stop her from doing that! Now my question is how do I show Layla its OK to share with her sister and not be fearful that her stuff is going to get destroyed! I mean I have to teach her to share with Ava! Is it fair to expect Layla to share all her toys with her sister? Also I can't have her going around blaming everything on Ava, I am pretty sure that the abstract mural that was drawn on our dining table was Layla but once again, blamed on Ava!!!!
For now I am just going to have to accept they are going to fight for toys, things will get broken, and they will blame each other! Its all part of having a sibling... right? I remember back when my mom use to put my sister's name on her stuff and my name on my stuff, I so hated that... but I wonder will I have to do that too? Ugh for now I am just going to sit back and watch them interact and I have to admit I get a warm fuzzy feeling when Layla yells "MOM, LOOK WHAT AVA DID" I wonder how long that will be funny...

Look what I got in the mail yesterday from one of my besties . . .
November 30, 2014
My talented friend Sonja sent this for my birthday . . . and this is just the envelope! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I'm sure the mailman got a kick out of it.
My address is printed where the blue paper now sits.
Her return address is where the pink paper now resides.
The entire envelope was covered with clear tape so as
nothing was damaged in the mailing of this piece of art.
Every time I look at it I see something I missed before.
Love it!

Facebook Part 2: What to Post on Your Municipal's Page
Posting on Facebook is a great way to increase traffic to your page –as well as your website.
But what things should you be posting? And which things should you stay away from posting?
The purpose of your municipal's page is different from most Facebook business pages. Since you aren't using it to try to gain new business –but rather are using it to help bring awareness of things related to your town.
To give you an idea on which things you should be posting to your page, here are some things to consider.
What to Post
When you're looking to post on your Facebook page, it can often be difficult to distinguish what are both relevant to your city and members as well. Here are a few areas that you can focus in on to give your residents the most from your Facebook page.
- Tips and News
Post relevant news related to your town. This can include upcoming voting sessions, changes in voting laws, or how to register to vote. Newsworthy information will help to keep your residents informed.
- Alerts and Reminders
You could also post reminders for events such as spring cleanup, changes to garbage or recycling schedules, or reminders of garbage days. You could also post on public holidays –such as the 4th of July or Thanksgiving –using it as an opportunity to reminders your followers to have a safe holiday –and that the city will be closed.
- Link Backs
You should also take every opportunity to link back to your municipal's website, since this will help the residents to get used to viewing and navigating your site. For example if you are posting a tip on how to vote, and want to include election rules or results –or any information that's included on your website, you can post the information and link back to the page on your website.
- Registration Notices
At Town Web Design, we design websites that give residents the option to register on the municipal website to get instant notifications to any posted news or notices, or any posted meeting agendas. On Facebook, you can post reminders for people to register for news.
- Re-Share Events
You can re-share events from local organizations who promote their events on Facebook. When you're logged into Facebook, you can click on another organization's event and click "share" to post it to the municipality's wall.
Things to Consider
When it comes to your municipal's Facebook page –there are a number of things that you should be aware of. Here are a few things that you should keep an eye out for when managing your Facebook page.
- Flame Wars – The one thing you don't want are "flame wars" on Facebook or any other social media site, especially when it is the town's official social media account. A flame war occurs when a group of internet users exchange angry messages on a message board or forum. Stopping them before they start is the best rule. You should also have a policy outlining what is considered offensive or inappropriate, and internal policies on how to handle these flame wars when problems start. A policy could be giving a warning to the ones causing the problems before removing them from the group, or banning them from the page. See how to ban users.
- Manager – You should decide who is going to manage the Facebook page, and what the procedures are if/when that person ever steps down. Does the new clerk inherit the Facebook page? You need to have a procedure in mind so the municipal's Facebook page continues to run smoothly with no interruptions.
For more information on websites for municipalities, contact Town Web Design. We provide responsive web design and website management for small and medium-sized municipalities.

Riding in the cold can be quite tricky if you are not prepared. The wind blast makes it worse, and sometimes, no amount of gear is sufficient enough to keep you warm.

They can make the entire driving experience comfortable, saving you from low temperatures and numbness. You no longer need to dread taking your bike out on a cold winter night.

The SOA Men's Leather Vest is a very sought-after vest, mostly because of its leather material. Since these wearables don't have sleeves, that makes it more portable and suitable for you to wear it more frequently.
Very often, some so-called leather vests that you find on sale in the market are made from cheap sewn patches. However, the SOA leather vest is made from 100% authentic cowhide leather.

6. Firstgear Thermo Suit
To have a perfect ride on a motorcycle along a highway or mountainside, you also need perfect outwear to compliment the journey. And this is where most of us get puzzled. Often, we underestimate or overestimate the temperature outside and do not gear up accordingly.
As a result, we end up having an uncomfortable ride. What we wear during such an occasion is quite significant. Putting on heavy clothes during a journey outside can restrict your movements, which will lead to a bitter trip.
On the other hand, if you don't wear enough clothes, especially when it's cold outside, you'll end up freezing. Therefore, the long ride will become short and inconvenient.
The Firstgear Thermo Suit is the best-heated motorcycle gear that will help you enjoy your journey! What this suit does is that it enhances your experience and give you a pure bliss of riding. It is 100% waterproof, so you can take your motorcycle out for a ride even when it's pouring with rain.

The unique feature of this suit is its ability to give you warmth when it's cold, chilled when it's hot, and dry as a log when it's wet. It can keep you warm and toasted through its polyester insulation of 120 grams. Also, it contains cargo pockets where you can keep your everyday items.
Since it's a one-piece suit, the thermal suit comes with a lot of flexibility. It has adjustable armbands, elastic leg cuffs, and a flexible waist, which take up the add or slack for a fantastic fit. Also, you won't be needing any heated pants anymore. So, you'll be saving money on heated pant liners.

Things to Consider When Buying Heated Motorcycle Suit
Winter is not a very pleasant time for a rider. It is wet, cold, and uncomfortable if you do not prepare yourself with the right set of riding gear. Heated apparel can make a world of difference, and the options are vast.
In this section, we are going to break down the basics to show you what you need to consider when investing.
Apparel Options
Let us start with gloves as they are the most common of the heated gears.
It makes sense to put this much focus on gloves since frozen or numb hands is extremely dangerous when riding a bike. Moreover, gloves often come as a complete piece, which means that they are built with a full set of protective features.
Jackets and heated pants come in the same design set, meaning complete protection with heated elements, but they mostly come as liners. Liners are meant to be worn underneath your outfit.
Your other gear options are socks and insoles that you can wear inside your boot. Also, a heated vest will make sure you are kept cozy in the cold.
Fit is extremely important when choosing your riding gear. For gloves, make sure that the fit is not limiting your movement. You do not want any restrictions when it comes to you controlling your bike.
Liners should match the fit of your outer outfit. Finding the perfect fit is essential to ensure your comfort using the heated gears.
Power Supply
There are two ways of supplying power to your heated gear; either you use batteries, or they connect to the power supply of your bike. Both methods have their own set of pros and cons.
Let us first talk about batteries. Battery-powered gear is useful when you are planning to make short rides as they do not need any setup time. You do not have to worry about routing any cords or tapping into your bike's power source. All you need to keep in mind is the limited charge.
When it comes to these gears, 7.4-volt batteries are a good choice. Since the cells have a limited up-time, they are perfect for quick-trips and commutes. Batteries come in varying sizes, and you should go for the one that seems the most convenient to you.
On the other line of the spectrum, you get hard-wired gear. It draws power directly from the battery of your motorbike. You get unlimited up-time as long as the bike is kept running.
However, the disadvantage of this type of setup is that it takes some time to get it up and get functional. You cannot stay far from the bike, so you cannot make a stop.
The heating elements in this type of gears are typically bulkier than battery-powered ones. You do not have to worry about running out of juice in the middle of your trip. With an ample supply of power, you can keep your apparels at the perfect temperature as long as you need them.
Wired gear is the heavy-duty choice for making long rides and tours while battery-powered gears suit shorter trips.
However, if you want both options to be at your disposal, there are dual power options available on the market. Dual power devices can use both a wired connection and a battery, so you can switch it up depending on the duration of your ride.
Battery-powered devices come with a storage pouch that houses the cells. For wired gears, you need to route a lead line from the battery of your bike. You have to connect the terminal rings to the bike's battery and run the opposite end to a place that reaches your gear.
You also need to know how much extra electricity your bike can supply. Without that information, you cannot understand if your bike can handle the wattage of your gears. Determine the charging output and operating load. Also, consider any other extra accessories like lights or GPS systems that you may have included.
Battery-powered devices usually come with a preset list of temperature levels. You can switch between them using a button found on the body of the apparel. Hard-wired units come with a controller that needs to be connected to the power source.
Controllers can be either single or dual set. A single set of controllers works the same way as batteries with a list of preset options. With dual controllers, you can heat each piece of gears individually to give you much flexible experience. There are also Bluetooth enabled gears that allow you to access the options via your smartphone.
Tips to Get the Most out of Your System
Here are a few tips so that your experience with heated gears are comfortable.
- Make sure the fitting is snug, and there is no air circulation between the gear and your body.
- A layer of clothing between your skin and the gear will make sure that there are no hot spots. If the cloth is sweat absorbing, that is a welcome addition.
- The layer of clothing above your heated gear should be water and windproof.
- Use a thermostat or controller to fine-tune heat delivery.
- Keep fuses and tools as a backup if you need any replacement mid-trip.
- Before turning the bike off, turn off your wired gears.
- Keep disposable chemical heaters in case of an emergency.
Building up Your Heated Gear Set
Heated gears can get quite expensive, and not everyone can afford to get the full set right away. But thankfully, due to the flexible nature of the product, you can get it one after the other.
The first item on your list should be the gloves. They are crucial to keep your control and reflex at its best in cold conditions.
If you can keep your hands warm and cozy, you can worry about the rest later. Some people opt for heated motorcycle grips, but gloves will give you the most value.
Next up on the list is getting a heated vest or jacket. Now that you made sure your palm is comfy, a heated vest will make sure that the rest of your upper body gets the same attention. It will allow you to be cozy and warm even in rough conditions.
Then, you should consider getting heated pants. Since you no longer have to worry about anything from the waist up, shift your focus to waist down. With this piece of equipment, you make sure that a comfortable temperature is regulated throughout your body.
Finally, heated insoles or socks will help give your set the perfect finishing. Do not underestimate the power of heated socks in any way. The heat generated from this garment will make sure you get an even flow of warmth all over your body.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is there any danger of using heated motorcycle clothing like catching fire?
The short answer is no. Heated clothing comes with a built-in fuse to protect the wearer in case of a short.
If, for some reason, the fuse is blown, make sure that you replace it with a good-quality fuse. Using low-grade fuses can cause several problems that you would not find very pleasant.
2. Can you wash the gears using a washing machine?
It is generally not advisable to wash these gears in the washing machine. You should handwash them when needed and hang them until appropriately dried.
3. Is there a chance of getting electrocuted when I get wet wearing these products?
You have no reason to worry about getting electrocuted as almost all the products of this type come with protected wiring. You can take your bike out in the rain and wear these gears without any fear.
4. When storing the gears for a long time, is there anything I should be aware of?
No, there is no special treatment required when storing your gears away for the summer.
However, if you want to rid yourself of any worries, you could use a little amount of WD 40 in the connections to prevent any corrosion or moisture build-up. You can do the same for the battery harness.
5. Do heated socks work?
Yes, they do work. You would be surprised at how efficient the heated socks are at keeping your entire body feeling cozy and warm.
They are especially useful when you are doing any cold activities like snowboarding or biking in the winter.
Final Thoughts
Riding a motorcycle is a fun activity that one should enjoy and revel to its full extent. Nothing feels better than zipping across the freeway on your bike. But if something as trivial as the cold gets in the way of your comfort, then your whole experience on the road takes a big hit.
Heated motorcycle gears are not only a valuable investment but also an essential one if you plan on using your bike in the winter. It can get dangerous to be out on the slippery road if you are inhibited in your control due to the harsh weather.
So, if you do not want to put away your vehicle in the garage for the winter, investing in the best-heated motorcycle gear is a great idea. It provides you with the comfort and safety that you need out on the open road. After reading this guide, you should not doubt which heated motorcycle gear is best for you.

Jon's first sculpture was made when his first wife gave him a small piece of stone. All he had to carve with was an old steak knife, which he used to craft a small head. Carving the eyes, nose and mouth inspired him so much, that he immediately enrolled in sculpting class and the rest, as they say, is history. Jon has been recognized by experts and peers with numerous awards for his work.
In the twenty years since that first carving, Jon has followed the natural progression of stone carvers going from soft to hard stones, from definitive to abstract designs. From large, 6 feet 6 inches high, weighting over 1,500 pounds, to small, a miniature lapis stick man under one inch in height. Over time Jon has carved soapstone, alabaster, marble and granite. He has hand quarried stone in New Mexico and Utah. He has selected rough rock at the quarry, and he has purchased imported materials to obtain color and hardness . His current favorite stone is black Belgian Marble. It is very hard, it will last indefinitely inside or out, and it takes a mirror fine finish that involves the viewer by reflecting their image.

An organization co-founded by the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney is under fire from prominent conservative lawyers who say a new Web ad unfairly questions the motives of Justice Department lawyers who previously represented suspected terrorists.
The ad, produced by national security-focused group Keep America Safe, questions the "values" of nine lawyers who represented terrorist detainees before coming to the Department of Justice and implies that the names of seven of those attorneys had been purposely withheld by Attorney General Eric Holder.
The group is co-chaired by Liz Cheney and commentator Bill Kristol, as well as conservative advocate and writer Debra Burlingame.
In an appearance on MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann"program on Monday, former U.S. Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr called the ad "very unfortunate and ill-conceived" for questioning the motives of attorneys who work on behalf of accused criminals.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
"Lawyers have an ethical obligation to be willing to take on unpopular causes," he told guest host Lawrence O'Donnell. "That is an obligation that goes with the profession. It goes with the territory."
The names of the previously unidentified attorneys, which Cheney's group dubbed the "al-Qaida 7," worked pro bono on the defense cases of detainees while working at some of the country's largest private law firms. The Department of Justice confirmed the names to FOX News last week.
Now the dean of the Pepperdine University School of Law, Starr is famous for his tenure as the special prosecutor whose report on the Monica Lewinsky and Whitewater scandals of the 1990s led to the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton. He also served as Solicitor General under George H.W. Bush.
Starr's television appearance was the latest blast in an internecine skirmish among conservatives debating the legitimacy of Keep America Safe's campaign. A group of 19 attorneys – including Starr and several George W. Bush administration officials – cosigned a letter Monday that derided the Web ad as "shameful."
"To suggest that the Justice Department should not employ talented lawyers who have advocated on behalf of detainees maligns the patriotism of people who have taken honorable positions on contested questions," the letter states.
On Sunday, Kristol rejected the notion that the ad represents an "attack" on the Justice Department. In a blog post on the website of "The Weekly Standard," Kristol wrote that "the main issues in the debate have been whether Congress and the public are simply entitled to know who these lawyers are, and the question of whether former pro bono lawyers for terrorists should be working on detainee policy for the Justice Department."

It took a while, but vehicle manufacturers and dealers have figured one important thing out finally:
If you want to stress how powerful, sleek, efficient and downright sexy the car you are trying to sell is – get a cross skier to promote it.
Double so if the skier is a she.
We have no access to the data showing how that association works for marketing & promotion – but it got to be working since more and more Olympians take to Instagram to display their latest best friend ( to quote Petra Novakova presenting her new Mazda)
Lady-skiers are far more imaginative with their cars – just you look at that car art on some of them.
And can't help but noticing: either car companies prefer sprinters to distance runners, or distance runners are less prone to showing their iron horses.

An anonymous reader writes: A survey of nearly 27,000 people suggests that millennials are less likely to be having sex than younger adults were 30 years ago. The Guardian reports: "The research, conducted in the U.S., found that the percentage of young adults aged between 20 and 24 who reported having no sexual partner after the age of 18 increased from 6% among those born in the 1960s, to 15% of young adults born in the 1990s. Published in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior by researchers from three U.S. universities, the study involved the analysis of data collected through the nationwide General Social Survey that has asked U.S. adults about their sexual behavior almost every year since 1989. The results reveal that young adults aged between 20 and 24 and born in the 1990s were more than twice as likely to report that they had had no sexual partners since the age of 18 than young adults of the same age born in the 1960s. Just over 15% of the 90s-born group reported that they had not had sex since they turned 18, compared to almost 12% of those born in the 1970s or 1980s. For those born in the 60s the figure was just over 6%. The shift [towards increasing abstinence seen among all adults since the 1960s] was greater for white individuals, those who had not gone to university, and those who attended religious services. The trend was also greater for women than for men: the authors found that 2.3% of women born in the 1960s are sexually inactive, compared to 5.4% of those born in the 1990s. That, the authors suggest, could in part be down to a rise in so-called virginity pledges as well as concerns about social stigma. As for why this is the case, the authors of the study suggest it could have something to do with the fact that young people are living at home for longer, thus "stifling their sex life," and playing video games and consuming media in their free time. In addition, easy access to pornography may also be playing a role. A co-author of the research, Ryne Sherman, also suggests another factor could be that the way in which people interpret questions asked in the survey has changed. "Young people in the 1950s, when they were asked if you had a sexual partner, [might] say 'oh oral sex, that counts,' whereas young people today might say 'oh no that doesn't count because I didn't actually have sexual intercourse,'" he said.
