6 secrets to saving power

Saving staggeringly high amounts of energy is now as simple as unplugging your computer.
Back when electricity costs were relatively low, easy eco-friendly initiatives like unplugging weren’t as high a priority. Yet recent surveys have revealed that around two-thirds of businesses are now paying more attention to energy efficiency than they were just a year ago. Some companies are motivated to act by rising energy prices; others have a genuine commitment to lowering their carbon footprint.
Read on to find six easy ways to save a huge amount of energy at work – and at home, too. You’ll reduce your electric bill, and also help the environment.
1. Simply unplug your appliances
It is a common misconception that hardware uses no power when not switched on. Many appliances continue to draw a small amount of power when they are switched off – and that little bit can really add up. Studies have revealed that a shocking 75 percent of electricity is used by hardware that is turned off.
Have you ever noticed that your mobile phone or iPAQ charger is hot to touch even when it is not in use? This is because it draws energy the entire time the device is plugged in.
To avoid this costly power drain, simply unplug devices from the wall every time you finish using them. This might initially be a difficult habit to get into, but soon it will be second nature and you’ll notice a fantastic difference in your electricity bills.
2. Switch to power-saving settings
You don’t have to be an IT expert to improve your PC’s energy efficiency. With any desktop PC or notebook PC running Microsoft® Windows® you can quickly reset its energy-saving settings.
Just go to "Start" and click on "Control Panel", then select the "Power Options" menu. Here you can reduce the power you use by changing your energy-saving settings from "idle" to "standby". This means every time you take a break and leave your PC running, you use 20 to 50 times less electricity.
To save even more electricity, reduce the time delay before your PC switches to a power-saving mode. See your "Power Options" menu to make this quick change.
3. Turn-off your screen saver
Another efficiency tip is turning off your screen saver. Studies have revealed that monitors using a screen saver eat up much more energy than those in standby mode.
4. Backup during the day
Even more power can be spared if you schedule your computer’s data backup during your workday – for example, during your lunch break. Doing this means that you won’t have to leave your computer on overnight, and you have an excuse to take a proper break during the day.
5. Buy energy-efficient products
These days ENERGY STAR® qualified office equipment is easy to find and affordable to buy. It provides you with dramatic power savings, as much as 90 percent for certain products.
HP designs its wide range of ENERGY STAR® qualified office equipment to provide highest performance with lower energy usage. For example, new server and workstation systems are designed to maintain power efficiency while meeting the needs of high-throughput, data-intensive applications.
6. Complete the conservation cycle
Whether you work with a large enterprise, a small- to medium-sized business, or have a home office, when you are finished with your hardware or printing supplies, remember to recycle them. Check out HP’s trade-in, donate and recycling options for your used computer or printing hardware, batteries and HP printing supplies.
And don’t forget, once you have disposed of your old equipment, you can purchase new energy-efficient solutions

My Bad

Its not enough that this driver hit one person, but he hit 14. One person died while the others were injured. What is this person doing that he could not see a group of people riding in front of him... Maybe, talking on the phone?

A picture of loneliness

When I see this photo I can see how sad this girl is. I feel her pain, agony, loneliness and her just trying to be accepted

The issues that exist on this picture probably can not be see by the naked eye, but with a camera you can see the true power of a photo!

Finally

Finally, the democratic nomination. You would think with Obama being a black that more blacks would be supporting him, but in reality he has the support of the white voters as well. He has transended the issue of color and pushed a message of change!

The excuse to vote for Obama

Day in and day out I hear the same rhetoric that Conservative talk show host like Russ Limball, Ben Ferguson and Michael Savage speak about why should they vote for Obama.

The level of knowledge that they possess is unlimited, but when they say liberal democratic the has such posionwith the use of the word hear says all these lame comments about give them a reason why they should vote for Obama.
1) He wants to end the war. He
has a plan and wants to put it in effect.
2) Universal health care. Millions and millons of people are in need of health care and can not afford it!
3) The gas prices are out of hand and he wants to lower gas prices...
4) He says he represents change, to be honest I have no ideal what change is, but the main thing is we need something more than what we have been given.

The War for Gas

Everyday I listen to the candidates debate on how they will make changes to the world and make it a better place to live. The Iraq War is the hot topic right now, everyone has a plan to end it quickly. Although, the war the US is having is not actually with Iraq, its with the rising cost of living and how it is creating havoc on the lives of blue collar workers. In 2003, that was the year Bush pumped up the US to go to war with Iraq. The theory of the war was to control oil prices, dethrone Saddam, avenge 9/11 and catch Bin Laden. What did the war allow us to accomplish? We caught Saddam but we lost 5,000 of our American troops. 5 years later we have not captured Bin Laden and the havoc of record high gas and food prices is crippling the american economy! You see when I pump gas it is $3.29 a gallon. Milk at $4.02 a gallon is higher than gasoline. The cost of living has gradually increased since we started the war with Iraq and continues to reach record highs each day. So after weighing the options of what we attempted to accomplish, by starting the war. Now we need to figure out what we are going to accomplish by ending the war. Just quiting is not enough, we need a plan with actions on lowering the gas and food prices in the United States. The candidates plan should contain information on improving the economy, a time- line of how long it will take and a detailed discription of how taxed will be lowered and incomes/ increased. The trickle down effect of fighting with a country that has all the oil hurt the United States, and we are paying for it each and everyday. So we don't need any more hot air, if you don't have a clue ask somebody! Americans can not take 4 more years of this!
