Free Charity Donations (Just Click to Donate Daily) @ The Hunger Site & Care2
Have read up on these websites and they look totally legitimate, many positive reviews.
If you chooose to sign up (not necessary for click donations) there is apparently no risk of spamming, all genuine and trusted.
What a great cause, hard to believe just clicking, at no personal cost, will provide donations (Let's Click Away!) but that appears to be the case:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -
The Hunger Site is the original click-to-donate site created in 1999 that gets sponsorship from advertisers in return for delivering users who will see their advertisements. The Hunger site encourages visitors to click a button on the site, once per day, asserting that each unique click results in a donation "equivalent" to 1.1 cups of food. The Hunger Site is not a charity; it is a for-profit corporation which donates the revenue from its advertising banner to selected charities. Currently, these are Feeding America (formerly America's Second Harvest) and Mercy Corps.
Care2 is a social network website that was founded by Randy Paynter in 1998[1] to help connect activists from around the world. It has a membership of more than 17 million people. Care2's stated mission is to help people make the world a better place by connecting them with the individuals, organizations and responsible businesses making an impact.

about global warming and carbon offsets
Global warming is one of the biggest threats facing our environment, human health and even national security. Global warming pollution from carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gasses caused by human activities is heating up our atmosphere, melting our polar ice caps, and threatening species like polar bears. A carbon offset represents a reduction in CO2 somewhere, like a wind farm in Texas or a reforestation project in Nicaragua, to balance out the carbon emissions from your activities, like computer use, that you cannot reduce.
about Carbonfund.org
Carbonfund.org is leading the fight against global warming, making it easy and affordable for any individual, business or organization to eliminate their climate impact and hastening the transformation to a clean energy future. Carbonfund.org works with over 1,200 businesses and 450,000 individuals to reduce their carbon footprint and solve climate change through education, carbon offsets and reductions, and public outreach.
how your clicks turn into donations
Our advertisers sponsor this site and make your donations to the Carbonfund.org possible. Every day that you click, you are generating a true cash donation. 100% of the donations generated by this click-to-donate go to Carbonfund.org. Care2 guarantees every daily-click through to the 'Thank You' / Sponsor page will generate a donation of at least $1/CPM. Care2 pools all of the daily donations and delivers these funds to Carbonfund.org on a regular basis.
how your click helps
Carbonfund.org supports three types of carbon offset projects: renewable energy, energy efficiency and reforestation. Each type plays an important role in the fight against climate change. Your daily clicks help fund projects like:
Return to Forest in Nicaragua, a reforestation project to replant an area of tropical forest the size of Central Park. The trees planted will sequester over 150,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions over the course of their lifetime.
The first-ever carbon offset project approved by the US EPA%u2019s Climate Leaders Program. Located in Clinton County, NY, this innovative project is fighting climate change by collecting and destroying the greenhouse gas methane, which is about 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide, from the landfill.
The Genesis Forest Project in Brazil, which will offset 93,170 metric tons of CO2 through the permanent conservation and reforestation of more than 3,000 acres of tropical forest. This forest has been classified as a biodiversity hotspot and features a wide array of unique plant and animal species including the giant anteater, giant armadillo, jaguar, and maned wolf.
Solar projects in California so local consumers are able to take advantage of clean, alternative solar energy which is decentralized and provides increase energy security. Your clicks and Carbonfund.org%u2019s support go toward helping to retrofit school and business facilities with photovoltaic solar panels.

Which browser do you use? I use Firefox which allows tabbed browsing.
What you can do is open each page in a new tab then select "Bookmark All Tabs". This will save all the bookmarks/favourites in a folder (that you can name) so you can then open them all from there every day. - Thanks for the Reply. I use Chrome normally, but have it set to open my previous tabs. I'll see if there is a way to do that, otherwise i'll just use firefox and the bat file for now.

Should be able to do the same thing with Chrome. - I click the Hunger Site each day for the free cup of food donation, I have had no problems with it. Give it a go and help the needy.
I will check out the other sites too.
Thanks. - excellent work mate

Winemaker notes from Allison Tauziet:
"We couldn't be more thrilled that our final wine from the Herb Lamb Vineyard comes from such an outstanding vintage. In fact, the conditions in 2007 were absolutely ideal for this property. The long, moderate season gave us enough time to gently ripen the tannins, while still preserving the distinctive flavors that we come to expect from this vineyard.
The 2007 Herb Lamb vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has an intense nose of licorice, chocolate mint and cassis. Nuances of forest floor and loamy earth bring terroir and character to the wine. On the palate, the tannins have a lovely coating quality, but are structured for long aging. The 2007 has perhaps the most silky tannins we've experienced at this stage in the wine's youth. Given the classic quality of the vintage, the wine will age for 20 to 30 years. We recommend a minimum of 5 years of cellaring to fully appreciate the wine."
We released 178 cases of the 2007 "Herb Lamb Vineyard" Cabernet Sauvignon in March 2011.

I know for the Corp' they loose if they can't draw but what about the Runner. It was suggested by a friend that the Heap is shuffled back in to make a new Stack but after looking through the rulebook I can't find anything on the subject.

Ok I had a dissapoointing game tonight (our 2nd) Inspite o unlucky draws in critical battles, I still was in a position to close in on the emporer and have a chance of killing him.
Then the shy Fortress comes up, Empore runs to some out of the war corner of the board with a large enterage, and in doing so joins up with the fabricator general, so he can be fortified with 6 guys.
This is all fine, all but the sky fortress basicly being a get out of jail free card for the emporor.
40K theme wise, the Empore shoudl not be able to leave the palace cause he is holding back some gate. He can only leave in order to do a quick run on the emporer.
I can;t see chaod EVER killing the emperor if the sky fortress rises comes up.

My experience at the Navajo Nation in Tuba City, Arizona was amazing. The Navajo culture is so rich, and the opportunity to work at a woman's house, the Boys' and Girls' Club,and the Tuba City Boarding School was really something unique. It was an experience I will never forget and left one of the biggest impacts on my life and my views on diversity. There is no better way to experience diversity by living and seeing it first hand. The Navajo Nation left a lasting impact on how I view the world and it's diversity as a whole.

Shnay: November a time for flag-waving
By Jerry Shnay Citizen firstname.lastname@example.com November 1, 2012 1:42PM
Updated: December 5, 2012 6:16AM
It's time for a little flag-waving this week.
On Tuesday we will select our president. Please vote!
We will pay tribute to our servicemen on Friday at the unveiling of the G. I. mural in Freedom Hall, and on Nov. 11 (Veterans Day) we can listen to the story of Ed Fizer, an American who, along with his comrades, fought one of the bravest battles of World War II — the war against prejudice.
We've written about Fizer a number of times; of how he and his fellow soldiers formed the first black unit in the Marine Corps during World War II; of how it took a presidential order in 1942 to force the up-until-then all-white service to accept blacks; and of how these Montford Point Marines persevered and triumphed; and finally how the entire unit, once segregated from the rest of the Marines Corps, recently was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, the nation's highest civilian honor.
Fizer will relate his story at 2:30 p.m. at village hall during a free program sponsored by the Park Forest Historical Society. It is a story worth retelling and remembering. In the interest of honesty, it must be noted that this writer is a member of the society's board of directors.
Park Forest will hold its eighth annual Veterans Day Program at 7 p.m. Friday in Freedom Hall. This year the event will feature the unveiling of the latest Park Forest mural.
Local artist Glenn Davies will introduce his painting — on an interior wall of Freedom Hall — that honors the service of veterans John Ryan and Fizer, as well as the history of the village.
By now you probably know the story of Park Forest, of how this "G.I. Town" was designed as an answer to one of America's most desperate post-World War II concerns — that of decent housing for returning veterans. We celebrate our Independence Day holiday with fireworks and music. We should commemorate Veterans Day with dignity and honor.
So we need to wave some red, white and blue banners for both occasions.
And it is to be hoped that on Wednesday morning after our vote has been counted we can again wave the flag, but there are times when one wonders how this country has survived when it seems to be locked into an ever-increasing loud and ugly rough-and-tumble style of electioneering.
This year each party has spent more than $1 billion in efforts to convince us to vote for their candidate. All elections have a strong confrontational element. It comes with the territory. But those billions seem to have generated a loud, unpleasant, quarrelsome campaign that has gone on too long.
Because Illinois is a state conceded to President Obama, our attention has been centered on those congressional races that inflict brain-numbing and repetitive pounding of our senses through television ads and depending on where you live, door knockings, robo calls and heaps of mailings.
I fear that this process, fueled in part by all that money, has produced in some a "dis" kind of citizenry: people who are dispirited, disheartened, discouraged and dismayed. Have we lost our taste for civil discourse and acquired a preference for raucous 15-second sound bites? When everyone talks, no one listens.
Yet despite all the noise and the commotion, there are few duties more important to the welfare of the Republic than that of voting. On Tuesday it will be time to cast a vote for light instead of heat. Make of that what you will.
God bless America.

Geek T-shirts: And you will know us by the trail of our threads...
If you want to know what a geek is passionate about, look at their chest. Chances are good that whatever their passion is, it will be emblazoned across the front of their shirt in some form or other. With the possible exception of hipsters -- and there's a fair amount of crossover between the two -- no subcultural group is more dedicated to displaying the things they love in T-shirt form than geeks.Dali and zombies, two great tastes that taste great together.
See also:The ten best geek events in Denver in February
Name something that geeks are passionate about, and chances are good it is available on a T-shirt. Add that to the fact that geeks, even more so than most of mainstream America, are dedicated to casual wear and comfort, and the primacy of the T-shirt should come as no surprise. Combining form and function in one soft, cotton (or poly-cotton blend) embrace, the geek T-shirt is a damn near perfect garment.
Some will argue that the geek's love of the T-shirt is simply more evidence that we are overgrown children, refusing to grow up and accept adult wardrobes. Those people can choke on their stupid fucking polo shirts and button-down short-sleeve business casual bullshit. Wearing that stuff simply announces, "Hey, I work in an office and thus am obligated to dress this way." I'm not sure how this capitulation to corporate culture is supposed to be an improvement on the average geek's vintage Star Wars shirt, which at least says, "I like what I like and I'm not afraid to tell the world about it."
For me, that means zombie shirts. I have a fair number of non-zombie shirts, including everything from a Magic: The Gathering guild T-shirt (Izzet for life!) to an officially licensed Denver Broncos shirt, but by and large if you run into me out and about, I'll be sporting a zombie shirt of one sort or another. I have zombie shirts tied to specific films, like this kick-ass shirt that riffs on Return of the Living Dead:
I even have my very own custom-designed shirt to pimp my zombie website:

This is one of our greatest hits. We've sold more than a million of this Organizer.
It's great if you're big on alphabetization or sorting by category. And even better if you're slightly lazy (be honest). Because rearranging your CDs is not high on your priority list.
Slotless Disc Storage might not sound exciting, but picture this. Say you have one of those slotted storage systems and you get the new [i]No Doubt[/i] CD. To fit in between your [i]Midnight Oil[/i] and [i]Oasis[/i], you go to the end of your collection and move each disc over one slot at a time. This process gets old fast.
Now imagine sliding your discs over the 3/8" needed to add a new disc. That's what the CD Organizer does. It uses these spring-like fingers to hold your discs in place, but allows you to slide discs back and forth.
Each Organizer holds up to 25 standard jewel cases or 50 slimline jewel cases and even accommodates double- or triple-CD sets in any position. It's a modular system, so you can stack them or put them side by side. And they're wall-mountable, so you can turn your discs into wall art, or just get them up off the floor.
Designed for storage of multi-media discs.

WoW, Casually: A casual Midsummer
If you haven't bought into the whole Midsummer hype yet, allow me to try to convince you. This year's Midsummer Fire Festival is possibly the most casual-friendly WoW event. Still you may ask, to paraphrase a guildie, "What's so great except for a useless pet?"
This holiday is not about the loot.
Sure, I got myself a Brazier of Dancing Flames, but I had the blossoms burning a hole in my pocket anyway, so why not? Midsummer is really about every other reason we play the game: progressing our characters, seeing the world, supporting our faction and, most importantly, fun.
Let's break it down:
Experience: The experience you get for doing the quests is just obscene. My 54 pally got 8150 XP just for doing the daily Torch Tossing quest. Honoring fires gets you nice experience and desecrating flames gets you double that. And of course there is the experience buff from the maypole. If you have characters lower than 70, check out the Level Guide for the quests appropriate for you and go to it. It's a great way to get the most out of your limited game time.
Cash: Are you still trying to save up for your epic mount or are you looking to fund enchantments and gems for your new Arena gear? If you are level 70, these quests give a lot of cold, hard gold. The Torch dailies award just short of 12 gold as does desecrating enemy flames. Honoring flames gives about half that. I have totally recouped my frivolous title money and then some.
Exploring: Desecrating flames is a great reason to go out and see the world, particularly if you have a mount. If you are level 50 or above, take in the sights of the opposing faction's capitals as well. These quests can be done as part of a raid, so pick up strangers as you go and travel in a mob. Even if you play characters on both factions, it's fun to see familiar zones as the enemy.
Keeping it fresh: Let's face it: if you've been playing this game for a while, you are probably impatient for the expansion. Taking time out to participate in events is a great way to keep the game fresh and fun. Even if you don't like some of the quests (like Torch Catching), it's still different from what you've been doing and that's a good thing.
Fun: Sunday night, the Spousal Unit and I decided to take a tour of the Alliance flames. We picked up a small raid's worth of Horde and doused fires all over Azeroth. We died a lot (Stormwind was very well defended) but we had a blast. It's not always easy, even on a PvP server, to get interest going for World PvP, so I like to take advantage of it when I can. Being a crab is delightfully silly, giving incense to the scorchling was a great surprise, and even trying to catch torches with everyone else was a little enjoyable. There's a lot of fun to be had for this holiday, so why not take advantage of it?
Sure, the more hardcore players get that Alune guy to play with (and even that is possible to do as a casual player), but the rest of the event seems tailor-made for those of us with limited playtime. So get out and support Blizzard's casual-friendly holiday. And come join It came from the Blog this Sunday for some Midsummer fun.
WoW, Casually is a column for those of us who are playtime-challenged and proud Welfare Epic wearers. If you have questions or tips about how to get the most out of your limited playtime, please send them to Robin.Torres AT weblogsinc DOT com for a possible future column.

Wedding: 10/26/2013
I had gone to Chic Bridal Boutique after a few terrible experiences the day before. I went in not feeling to keen on finding my dress anymore and was about ready to give up. As soon as I walked in the environment made me in the wedding mood, Annie was more than happy to grab as many dresses as I wanted to try on and didn't act annoyed or fed up with me at anytime. Even when I wanted to try on 3 different dresses over and over again. They were so helpful and gave me the feed back that my friends and family were too nice or too scared to give me. I will definitely recommend this shop to all of my friends for their big days! I absolutely loved everything about my experience.
Wedding: 9/28/2013
No pressure, super sweet and very on top of things!! I made an appointment with them on a whim to fill time before another appointment and they were very accommodating to our party of 11 women. The woman who helped me was helpful and not pushy at all. I told them my budget and what I was looking for and that was exactly what they stuck to. We found the dress there, as well as my veil and earrings which we got at a slight discount since we ordered the dress through them. The dress also came in about two weeks before it was scheduled and they allowed me to store it there until I was ready to take it for alterations. I loved my experience there and recommend them to all the brides to be!
Wedding: 9/14/2013
I went once to this Boutique and probably tried on every dress in the store. Both ladies who helped me were kind and catered to my every wish. They had the best bedside manner and spent one on one time with me. I felt like I was the only person in the store because they took such good care of me. I didnt find the dress I was looking for and visited 6 other stores in town. I couldn't find anything that fit my look and personality. I started looking at designers online and found my perfect dress. Chic bridal boutique actually had the dress in stock, I just didn't see it the first time. It was so perfect and unique! My cousin, who is a designer in LA said it was the best dress she'd seen! And every guest loved it! From the moment I came in the store till the moment I got married, they always remembered me and were always so helpful! I would recommend hands down!
Wedding: 9/27/2014
Check out their sales! I got my gorgeous dress on a one day sale it was definitely a one of a kind!
Wedding: 7/18/2014
I found my one of a kind dress for less than $600. Annie will show you dresses within your budget that are absolutely beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a better experience finding my dress.
Wedding: 7/21/2009
Friendly staff and lovely selection I have had friends and client's get their wedding dresses there.

Chic Bridal Boutique-
Thank you so much for helping me find the "one" dress that made me feel like a princess! I would recommend your boutique to anyone! You guys were so helpful and great to work with! Thank you so much for your time into making our wedding day so perfect!
Wedding: 7/6/2013
easy to work with and beautiful dresses! i absolutely loved my dress and got so many compliments on it.
Wedding: 6/21/2013
Our wedding day was absolutely the best day of my life! I owe many thanks to Chic for making that happen. First, they helped me find the perfect dress. I was the annoying bride who could not make up her mind but Chic intuitively got a feel for the type of wedding I wanted and type of person I was they put me in a dress that made me feel like a beautiful bride that matched my personality. I loved the dress so much that a stayed in it until 4 am on my wedding day... yep it was that comfortable and beautiful! I am actually missing it right now as I write this review and think I will go put it on when I get home:) Second, I hired Chic's day of event service. They took care of everything from making sure food, cake, and photographer all arrived on time. They had the place decorated beautifully, and took care of all the fussy details while my husband and I enjoyed every moment of the big day! 1000 thanks to Chic for your kind costumer service, wonderful planning, and the magic you made happen on our wedding day!
Wedding: 4/6/2013
I couldn't believe my luck coming across Chic bridal Boutique. Beautiful gowns, excellent service and a wonderful experience. I loved my gown. Thank you for making me the most beautiful I cold be. They did not rush me or pressure me into buying, as a matter of fact they encouraged me to sleep on it and make sure IT WAS MY DREAM DRESS. Boise's brides are very lucky to have such an upscale boutique.
Wedding: 8/2/2013
While I already had my dress, I was needing accessories and was able to find what I was looking for at this shop. Lots of options and different price points.
Wedding: 2/17/2009
I just wanted to let you guys know that I had a wonderful experience picking out my wedding dress at your shop and was blown away by your service, patience, and professionalism. The fact that you ordered in a dress that you didn't even have in stock was greatly appreciated and ensured that I had just the perfect dress for my wedding! I won't hesitate to recommend your shop to any bride I talk to : )
Wedding: 8/2/2009
Chic Bridal Boutique helped make my wedding day very special. Not only did they help me find the perfect wedding gown, but they also helped me find the photographer and a great place to get my flowers.
They helped organize my wedding day so my family and I could relax and truly enjoy the day.
They have unique dresses and truly understand every aspect that goes into a wedding.
I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Wedding: 6/29/2013
I wouldn't go anywhere else in Boise! The girls were awesome! Listen to everything you have to say and really put you in the dress that will look beautiful on you! Some of the dress are a little prices but they will find one that is in your budget! Thank you Chic for putting me in the dress of my dreams!
Wedding: 9/21/2013
I was on a business trip and becoming desperate to find my wedding jewelry. I had some extra time and figured I would try my luck at Chic Bridal Boutique. I am so glad that I did!!! The ladies there were amazing and helped me try on a lot of different options. I found exactly what I was looking for and that is saying something - I am extremely picky and had been looking for months for my jewelry. I am so relieved and will always fondly remember my experience there.
Wedding: 12/20/2013
I just wanted to thank you and ALL of your staff for the time that you spent with my daughter looking for her perfect dress. Your customer service is second to none. We had been to many places looking for a dress and not once did we get the kind of attention and service as well as patience that we received in your store. Everyone was so attentive to all of us and it made the trip from Ogden so enjoyable. We talked about how great we were treated all the way home. You all went above and beyond helping her try on dresses time and again so that she could get the right one. We are all very glad we chose your store to get her wedding dress. We will make sure that we refer an many people as we can to you and your staff. Thanks again for making this an enjoyable and memorable trip for us.
Wedding: 5/3/2013
We walked in and were told our appointment was canceled even though it was just made the day before. Received very little service.
Wedding: 10/20/2012
I found Chic about two weeks after getting engaged and wondered in just to see what dresses were out there. When I finally decided to get the dress I saw at Chic about 3 months later, I made an appointment. The owner remembered me from my three months before and remembered what dresses I had tried on. It was amazing. She was great to work with and was very easy to work with. She even had a great recommendation for a women to alter my dress.
I went to Chic before they moved, so I haven't seen the new store, but it was fun and a great experience.
Wedding: 10/20/2012
I recently purchased my wedding dress from Anne at Chic Bridal Boutique, and the experience I had was uncomparable to all others. I quickly found that dress shopping was overwhelming, but after going to a few other shops I made an appointment at Chic Bridal Boutique. I was blown away by the georgous dresses, and for the first time in my wedding dress hunt I had FUN! I highly recommend Chic Bridal Boutique to anyone is search a beautiful wedding dress and great service!
Wedding: 8/12/2012
I was searching for "not your typical wedding dress" and found exactly what I was looking for at Chic Bridal. The experience was so personal and relaxing and all I had to do was describe what I was looking for and they found the exact dress in no time at all. They were accommodating, timely and professional. The sent us to an awesome alterations gal as well! And any question or concern I had from the day i walked into the shop to the day of the wedding, they were more than happy to answer and help.

A common belief in health and fitness circles is that it is somehow good for the body to drink an excessive amount of water.
A high water intake is claimed to lead to all sorts of health benefits, such as increased fat burning, more energy, less appetite, etc.
Here, I am going to discover what the actual science has to say about this.
Is there any real benefit to drinking more water than plain old thirst commands?
Or are we just wasting our effort filling and refilling those water bottles all the time? (not to mention having to pee every hour of the day)
First of All, How Much is Too Much?
Before I continue, I should clarify what "a lot of water" means.
"A lot of water" implies drinking many glasses of water per day, despite not being thirsty. People who do this often carry water bottles with them everywhere they go, and go to the bathroom to pee all the time.
There is such a thing as "too much water", which is water intake to the extent that it becomes dangerous.
If you drink an insane amount, like in a water drinking contest (very stupid), you may go into a condition known as water intoxication, which can be deadly.
The body's cells need a constant balance of various electrolytes (salts). When you pee and sweat, some electrolytes tend to get out along with the water.
Athletes that drink a lot of water to replace intense sweating, without replenishing the body's salts, may dilute their body fluids. This can mess up the electrolyte balance and cause a condition known as hyponatremia, which can also be deadly.
Therefore, it is important to get in some electrolytes (salts) along with your water if you exercise intensely and sweat a lot. Some sports drinks include the necessary electrolytes to replace what is lost through sweat.
But given that you are not participating in a water drinking contest (you're smarter than that, anyway), and that you make sure to replace massive sweating with both water and electrolytes, then drinking a lot of water is completely safe.
Water and Cognitive Function
Drinking a lot of water isn't going to make you smarter, but there is a tiny bit of evidence to show that a mild dehydration can slightly impair mental function.
25 healthy women were dehydrated by means of either exercise or diuretics. On average, they lost a little over 1% of their body mass.
The women who were dehydrated had an increased perception of task difficulty, less focus, more symptoms of headache, and a degraded mood compared to controls (1).
Thus, it does seem like a good idea to make sure you do not get dehydrated, and take note that 1% of body mass is a very mild dehydration.
If you do feel a little blue at times, then perhaps you're only a few glasses of water away from feeling your best again.
Water Intake and Bladder Cancer
There was one large-scale prospective study performed on 47.909 health professionals.
This study found water intake to be inversely associated with cancer of the urinary bladder, with those who drank 6 or more (1440ml+) cups per day half as likely to get bladder cancer than those drinking less than 1 cup per day (-240ml).
In fact, the authors noted that each additional cup (240ml) lowered the risk by 7% (2).
However, other studies found no protective effect against bladder cancer by drinking more water (3, 4)
Water and Colorectal Cancer
Several studies show a significant protective effect of water intake against colorectal cancer, which is both common and deadly. In fact it is the third most common cause of cancer death.
These studies show a risk reduction as high as 30-60%, but in some cases they are not statistically significant so they should be taken with a grain of salt (5, 6, 7).
Fluid Intake and Urinary Health
There is some evidence that drinking plenty of water might reduce chances of recurrence in patients who have been previously diagnosed and treated with kidney stones (8).
Water and its Effects on Satiety and Food Intake
A study of 20 young men discovered that those who consumed the greatest volume (600mL) of milk 30 minutes before a meal ate less than those who had a smaller volume (300mL).
Both volumes of milk had the same total energy content. The higher volume group was less hungry and also ate less at dinner 4 hours later (9)
Another study in 24 lean women found out that those who ate liquid food (soup) ate a lot less than those who had the same amount of food in solid form. However, eating the solid food with a glass of water on the side had no effect. (10)
An observational study of 5.783 chinese adults found that water intake was inversely associated with energy density of the diet, total energy intake and overweight status (11).
I'd like to point out, that despite water with a meal slightly increasing satiety, there is no indication that this would lead to weight loss in the long term, as there are so many other factors at play.
There is, however, a small chance that if you stay well hydrated throughout the day, you won't feel as hungry and won't eat as much.
If you really want to dig into the whole science behind water intake and health, then I recommend you take a look at this paper (12 – PDF).
Our bodies are 60% water and it is constantly being lost from the body, every minute of every day, through sweat, breath, urine and stool. The body doesn't have any actual "stores" for water, like it has for body fat, and therefore it needs to be replaced all the time.
In fact, if you don't drink water for a few days, you will die.
If you're thirsty, water is the way to go. It is clean, calorie free, contains no additives and it's really the only thing adult humans and pre-humans have been drinking for the last millions of years.
Elderly people may need to consciously make sure to drink water throughout the day as their brain may start to underestimate their required intake.
That being said, I do not see any reason why it would be a good idea for young, healthy people to drink a lot more water than what thirst commands. The mechanism in our brain that controls water balance is incredibly efficient.
A common recommendation is eight 8 ounce glasses of water per day (the 8×8 rule). According to the studies above, 5 glasses might be enough.
All in all, there doesn't seem to be any reason to carry a water bottle around all day and drink so much that you have to pee all the time.
Make sure you don't get dehydrated, drink a little bit of water throughout the day (especially with meals), but definitely increase your intake before, during and after workouts.
If you've got all that covered, then you have nothing to worry about.

Trainer Linda Rice answers your questions about her background, life as a trainer, her best horses, the training title at Saratoga, and more. Transcript is now available.
Lucifer's Stone was bottled up in the slow-paced $264,000 Garden City Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. IT), but when the opportunity arose in mid-stretch, jockey Jose Santos shot the filly through the gap to register an upset over a pair of well-fancied European fillies on the Belmont Park turf Sunday.
Trainer Christophe Clement takes aim at New York's top prize for 3-year-old turf fillies when he sends out Torrestrella and Spotlight in the $300,000 Garden City Breeders' Cup (gr. IT).
Heriberto "Ocala" Cedano, who had worked for Hall of Fame trainer Phil "P.G." Johnson for 33 years, finds himself in a new position when he saddles Fortunate Damsel in Monday's $150,000 Lake Placid Handicap (gr. IIT) for 3-year-old fillies at nine furlongs over Saratoga's Mellon turf course.
Jockey Pat Day will replace the injured Jose Santos aboard Lucifer's Stone, a leading contender in Monday's $100,000 Lake George Handicap (gr. IIIT) for 3-year-old fillies at Saratoga Race Course.
Ask for the Moon, Lucifer's Stone, Sister Star and Super Bobbina have declined invitations to the $750,000 American Oaks (gr. IT) July 3, Hollywood Park Racing secretary Martin Panza said Wednesday.
Jockey Edgar Prado weaved Mambo Slew through traffic along the inside in the stretch to catch favored Lucifer's Stone in the final jumps of the $114,800 Sands Points (gr. IIIT) for 3-year-old fillies at Belmont Park on Sunday.
Minge Cove was beaten 2 1/2 lengths in the Herecomesthebride after a troubled trip. The winner, Lucifer's Stone, had just taken an entry-level allowance and owned a decided experience edge. When the two meet again in Sunday's $100,000 Sands Point Stakes (gr. IIIT) for 3-year-old fillies at nine furlongs on grass, Minge Cove might have a better shot .
Lucifer's Stone is the morning line favorite of the 10 fillies entered for Wednesday's $100,000 Appalachian Stakes at Keeneland.
Trainer Linda Rice may have a budding turf star in fast-improving Lucifer's Stone, who hit the starting gate and was steadied on the far turn but managed to win the $100,000 Herecomesthebride Stakes (gr. IIIT) for 3-year-old fillies at Gulfstream Park Saturday.
Please Take Me Out set the pace and held off Bobbie Use in the final strides to win the $84,400 Miss Grillo Stakes on closing day Sunday at Belmont Park.

Eva Longoria Laughs Off Press Malfunction
Tuesday, May 21, 2013

argapranaya zikri
At least she has a sense of humor: A day after Eva Longoria
accidentally flashed photographers while going commando on the red
carpet in Cannes, she choose a sheer dress that clearly showed her
wearing underwear.
Longoria shared a picture of the dress with her millions of Twitter followers while also laughing off her wardrobe malfunction Saturday.
"Here's my dress for tonight! No wardrobe malfunctions tonight!!!"
she wrote on Twitter Sunday, posting a picture of the plunging, sheer
black dress.
The material meant onlookers could see her black panties.
Wardrobe malfunctions are nothing new to the "Desperate Housewives" star. She had a nip slip at the Oscars earlier this year.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
SanDisk Cruzer Mini
In a world of USB flash drives that do everything short of making dinner, there's something to be said for a simple thumbdrive with a small price tag. The SanDisk Cruzer Mini is that product: it's compact, dead simple to use, and requires no drivers (unless you're running Windows 98 SE). The Cruzer Mini comes in a whopping six capacities, so you can pick the one that fits your needs: 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, and an enormous 4GB. Even at a suggested retail price of $380 for the 4GB model, the Cruzer Mini works out to a measly 9.5 cents per megabyte, making it a great choice for someone who needs a basic flash thumbdrive.
Unlike many of the recent USB drives that boast fingerprint scanners or fancy casings, the SanDisk Cruzer Mini is truly tiny. Its slim design means it won't block any of the neighboring USB ports when plugged in, and the silver-colored plastic casing makes for a featherweight drive, though on the flip side, it's not nearly as tough as its burly cousin, the SanDisk Cruzer Titanium . An LED on the end of the drive glows green when the drive is plugged in and pulses while transferring data, which can help you see if it's working properly. The drive ships with a neck strap and two extra plastic caps, in case you lose the original. The cap isn't secured to the drive in any way, so it's likely you'll appreciate the extras--unless you lose them, too.

Working Capital Solutions for Businesses Nationwide
Call us today at

If you've previously worked with one of our representatives, find them here.
Home > About
Crestmark, a business-to-business lender specializing in providing working capital solutions, was founded on the notion that there was a niche in need of help: the small-to-medium sized businesses that needed funding the more traditional banks could not provide. So, founder W. David Tull left the world of traditional banking, and started Crestmark. Approved as a Michigan-chartered FDIC Bank in 1996, Crestmark opened its doors in Troy, Michigan, and today, still employs many of the people who were here at inception.
Located in the Midwest, it seemed only natural that Crestmark would provide financing to a myriad of manufacturing, service, and transportation industries. And, while we've certainly expanded our scope of business since our inception, these industries continue to make up a large portion of the industries that we serve.
We strive to add value to small-and medium-sized businesses by providing innovative financial solutions to niche markets. Our success is derived exclusively from the value and satisfaction we provide to our stakeholders – including our clients, employees, shareholders, referral sources, regulators, and the industries and communities we serve. We do our best to foster an atmosphere of creativity, flexibility, and integrity in all that we are – and all that we do.
As time passed, it became clear that what Dave had started was working. In fact, we were getting requests for financing far outside of Michigan, so Crestmark sought ways to expand its industry and geographic reach – in order to help businesses across the country.
Dave knew that the apparel, footwear, and home furnishing trades frequently utilized the value added services and financing offered by traditional non-recourse factors. So, having known Barry J. Essig, one of the leading experts in the non-recourse factoring market, and Spectrum Financial in West Palm Beach, Florida for years, he decided to augment Crestmark's offerings, and made Spectrum and Essig part of the team in 2001.
In October 2007, Crestmark expanded its existing capabilities in transportation finance and acquired a long-standing transportation finance company. The Franklin, Tennessee based company has experienced solid growth since joining the Crestmark team, and offers financial services specially designed to help the transportation industry.
In late 2007, Crestmark found a way to expand its geographic and specialized industry capabilities by acquiring the successful and respected Commercial Capital Lending in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, led by Pat Haney.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

I had the chance to chat on Nov. 12 with Karen Caplan, president and chief executive officer of Frieda's Inc., Los Alamitos, Calif.
Caplan |
11:01 a.m. Karen Caplan: Hi Tom.
11:02 a.m. Tom Karst: Hello Karen. You are right on time. Thanks for having this chat today! First of all, what do you find yourself working on this week? What's in your inbox at Frieda's?
11:05 a.m. Karen: After two days out with "flu-like symptoms" I had a lot of catching up to do. First thing was a meeting with my Marketing Manager to get an update on our Social Media Marketing Plan.
Tom: Twitter and the like ...
11:06 a.m. Karen: Twitter is only one application. Then I've been getting constant instant messages from our sales team about big orders that have come in … it's a big week, as we are shipping a lot for Thanksgiving business.
11:07 a.m. Karen: It looks like retailers are realizing that "everyone will be shopping big in their stores" ... and they are stocking up. Nice to see.
11:08 a.m. Tom: Speaking of Thanksgiving and how retailers order, do you notice changes in the product mix this year ... perhaps recession related or other factors at work?
11:10 a.m. Karen: As far as product mix this year, we have seen a definite air of caution as far as risk taking, on new items especially. We anticipated this about two years ago, which is why we modified our product mix and reduced our item count — doing "SKU RAT" before it was well publicized in the retail community.
11:14 a.m. Tom: Interesting. I was just talking with a retailer about deflation and it is something that's difficult for them to work through.
11:15 a.m. Karen: Monday — I spent the day in Sacramento — I am on the Board of the Ag Issues Center based at UC Davis. We got an update on MOCA — The Measure of California Agriculture which is THE source of information on what we really do in California. Our board of about eight thought leaders in California agriculture provides guidance on future research initiatives for the University of California.
11:16 a.m. Tom: There is much at issue for California agriculture. That's sounds like a vital group with all the water and food safety issues right now.
11:18 a.m. Karen: At the AIC we been talking about water for many years. Coincidentally, my advisor when I was a student at UCD is Richard Howitt — the authority on Water Policy and he has spoken to us many times.

How To Dress Like it's Always Midnight in Paris
Senior Digital Projects Editor
When you return from a vacation, you inevitably cling desperately to any shred of relaxation, adventure and fun you managed to capture in your time off. Don't deny it, we all know it's true. Last week, I binge ate croissants, wore a lot of black, made some french-speaking friends and pondered life's complexities along the Seine in Paris. Now that I've returned to my beloved NYC, I'm trying to hold on to that last bit of Parisian je-know-say-kwa (pardon me, my French is terrible) by dissecting the style of Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris. So come along—and help me try and avoid the inevitable.

Oct 8th 2010 7:01AM Very well written. The down side is that here on Wow Insider, just like my own guild website, your preaching to the choir. The people that REALLY need to read this article are the ones that never do any research and just plow thru with the expectations of being carried. That appears to be gone for good. While I enjoy the ability to be done with an instance in 20 min. now. I'm still hopeful it doesn't go back to the old BC Shadowlab days. Here's hoping that Bliz does a decent balancing act.

Shifting Perspectives: The disappearance of the bear, part 3 {WoW}
Oct 21st 2009 12:30PM Great post! I agree with every aspect. I have both a Prot Warrior and a Feral Druid and I've got to say the Warrior is by far more enjoyable. I know that you where all in favor of the druid form changes to cat and bear but I've got to say that change was the final nail for me for playing my druid. I play a male Night Elf on both classes because I like being a male character. When Bliz decided to put a dangly neck piece on my cat and soften the bear form I just couldn't take it any more. The only time I break out the druid now is if my warrior is saved and my guild needs a tank to make a run.
Bears are harder to move and harder to tank on effectively because of the giant brown butt in the middle of the screen. I can just tank more effectively on the warrior.

Lil Wayne is easily the artist of the year. Besides dropping the biggest selling HipHop album of the year, he has re-signed to Cash Money Records:
Lil Wayne has literally grown up as a Cash Money artist, from the time he was a young teenager and part of the legendary hip-hop group Hot Boys with fellow label artists B.G., Juvenile and Turk. He is credited with introducing the term, "bling," into the rap vernacular in the Big Tymers' 1998 track, "Millionaire Dream." He went on to score platinum albums with Tha Block Is Hot as well as the first two installments of Tha Carter trilogy.
"We were introduced to him when he was just a little, little kid," recalls Slim. "He told us he wanted to be a rapper. He just called us every day, and at one point, even came to live with us. He just outworked everybody. He had that drive to succeed."
Added Baby: "Working with our son, Lil Wayne, throughout the many years has helped us build Cash Money into the empire it is today. Cash Money is a family and Lil' Wayne has been part of our family since day one."
And now the partnership between Cash Money and Lil Wayne will continue, with a multi-album pact that takes them into the future together.
"Tha Carter III is just the tip of the iceberg with Lil Wayne," continues Slim. "The best is yet to come."
Since its historic deal with Universal Music Group in 1998, which guaranteed Cash Money all revenues from record sales and music publishing, as well as ownership of its masters, the label has been distributed by Universal Motown Records Group.
Wayne's World doesn't stop, it just gets bigger!

Chancellor's Column - January 2004
An Early Spring?
With the Oklahoma winter now in full force, it's hard to believe that spring will ever come. In fact, the superstitious may, in a few weeks, even be counting on "Punxsutawney Phil," the famous groundhog, to predict an early spring.
For some of us, our attitudes about Oklahoma's economic future reflect some of that same cold winter pessimism. It may be hard to believe that anything is going to come along and lead us to the "springtime" of an improved economy.
Well, I'm not a weather expert like our friend Phil, but I think we do have reason to be optimistic about Oklahoma's economy.
On January 9, co-chairs Ken Levit and Dave Lopez, Secretary of Commerce and Tourism Kathy Taylor and I presented the EDGE (Economic Development Generating Excellence) Action Plan 2004 to Gov. Brad Henry. It is the result of the participation of literally thousands of Oklahomans who were involved in the steering committee, expert teams, public forums and online discussions.
There are many solid recommendations for action, including updating our public education system, transforming Oklahoma into the research capital of the Plains, improving the health of Oklahomans and reforming and improving our business climate. Taken together, these actions can fundamentally change Oklahoma, moving us into a position of leadership in a technology-driven, knowledge-based, global environment.
And, I believe that these benefits will be felt throughout the state. Our state's health issues know no geographic boundaries. The EDGE plan calls for reducing tobacco usage and addressing the need for improved health insurance coverage. Better coordination between the State Department of Education and the State Regents will mean better student performance in all schools and more college graduates throughout the state. Investing in research will open up opportunities for businesses – both large and small – to create new jobs. And, implementing meaningful reforms in areas such as regional economic development, tax policy and workers compensation will have a profound and positive impact statewide.
While other states may have been content with simply trying to survive the nationwide downturn, Gov. Henry has energized the state with EDGE. The result is an action plan that will give us an improved competitive "EDGE." That's just the kind of upbeat message that can warm up even the coldest of winter days.
If you would like a copy of the EDGE action plan, please write to Chancellor Paul G. Risser at OSRHE, PO Box 108850, Oklahoma City, OK 73101-8850 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. You can download the plan and learn more about EDGE at www.okedge.org.
