Many people take calorie intake into consideration when trying to lose weight. People will go to great lengths to avoid high calorie foods. What many people fail to realize, is how many calories they are consuming simply by the things they are drinking. Liquid calories are equally (if not more) sneaky than calories from solid foods.
In a study done by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, cutting 100 calories a day from liquids resulted in weight loss of about 0.5 pounds over a time period of 6 to 18 months. During that same amount of time, when cutting 100 calories per day resulted in only 0.1 pounds.
Take this as a quick reminder to watch not only what you're eating, but also what you're drinking as well!

Okay girls, I need some help. As many know I am now having a baby. At my first ob appointment we went through the plan for this pregnancy and when work will stop ect. I asked about the walk a thon, if she thought I should skip a year and come back to it next year. Her feeling and mine, is that the walk is way too important to skip a year during the early stages of getting awareness out there. She said to find people to help with as much as I can and even if it is a small walk this year at least we still have the foundation and the walk out there for all to see.
So I am asking for your help. Anything that you can do or think of that needs to be done. We are always in need of sponsors, and possible freebies, ect. If you can think of anything, anything at all please jump right in.
I have the same location as last year secured so that is one less worry. I am still working on sponsors which is hard from here since it is a busy time of the year for charity events (relay for life ect) and because we are not a very big town (beaver dam) a lot of businesses are wary about sponsoring something they are not tooo sure about. I have faith that will change over the next few walks but for now we are making due with what we have.
Thanks in advance for anything you are able to help with. I am glad that we are getting together in February and hopefully I will have exciting news to report.

Map of May 4 Commemorations
The requirements of Geographies of Memory and Heritage course included proposing an additional component for the May 4th memorial. In the last few years there have been significant and valuable additions to the commemoration of the events of May 4th at Kent State University. The dedication of the May 4th museum in Taylor Hall marks the most recent of these efforts. Our webpage project is designed to compliment this work and encourage visitation to commemorated sites.
This project offers a spatially nuanced perspective of the commemoration of May 4th,using Google Maps Engine technology. We aim to provide a concise index of information about each of the May 4th memorials, the walking tour, and the boundaries indicated in the National Register of Historic Places Proposal in a way that is easily accessible. It is our hope that this project will encourage individuals to visit the May 4th sites and lead to a greater understanding of the events that surround that day. This is a valuable undertaking because the events of May 4th, 1970, as well as its aftermath and legacy, have historical and cultural significance to the community, the state of Ohio, and the nation as a whole. These events, as well as the hard work being done by those involved with the May 4th Visitors Center, are deserving of exposure to a wider audience.

I went for an appt on Friday, was admitted, and was released yesterday. My peri figures I can be home for another 2-3 weeks before going back in to the hospital until delivery. I am 28 weeks.
I have never had things start sliding downhill this early. It has always been after 30 weeks with delivery between 34-36 weeks. I am pretty nervous now.
I see my peri on Friday again.
He upped my Atenolol and doubled my Hydralazine. I hope it buys Bellyfish a lot more time, but I am keeping my expectations low. :-/

Japanese Tetsubin teapots have a centuries old tradition. Every teapot is hand cast and hand finished. The interior is lined with porcelain enamel and each teapot has a stainless steel tea infuser. The teapots allow heat to be evenly distributed through the pot to better extract the flavour of the tea.
Capacity: 0.6L
Before using the pot for the first time you must rinse the pot and infuser in boiling water, never use detergents to clean or place in the dishwasher. After use rinse and wipe the inside with a soft sponge and dry with a soft cloth whilst it is still warm – never leave any water in the teapot and dry thoroughly after each use. This cleaning method will allow the coating to remain intact and help protect the iron in the teapot walls from oxidizing.

Thursday, July 10, 2014
According to Governor Nikki Haley, the American Dream is alive and well in South Carolina.
And all she had to do was drive through Moncks Corner to see that.
Driving through Moncks Corner today, I am so proud of the small town beauty you have created here, the governor said at the beginning of her Moncks Corner Rotary Club address at Gilligans on Thursday, July 10. Small towns are the backbone of the American Dream and it is alive and well in South Carolina.
Haley came to town around noon on Thursday, and took a quick tour of downtown Moncks Corner before heading to the Tail Race Canal and a lunchtime address with the Moncks Corner Rotary Club and a packed dining room of elected officials, and civic and business leaders.
I am hearing constantly, the question about the American Dream, that it is dead, she said. When I hear it I take it personally.
In 2011 when Haley took office, unemployment in the state stood at 11.1 percent.
We were coming out of a recession, she said. When I took office I decided we had to get South Carolina in the customer service business.
Haley said her efforts have paid dividents in the three-plus years shes been in office. Unemployment sits at 5.3 perecent, an all time state low.
More people are working in South Carolina than ever before in the history of the state, she said. To improve South Carolina you have to take care of all of South Carolina and that includes the rural areas.
Haley touched on several topics during her 45-minute address, discussing the competition between the Palmetto State and Georgia as to who has the most efficient sea port; education and the need for all students to be able to read before entering fourth grade; the hidden catch with the local penny sales tax, and the five-year old Berkeley County hospital dispute, DHEC and the Certificate of Need program.
On which is better for shipping, Charleston or Savannah, Haley said, While I love the spirit of competition, our port is just better. Were deeper, we can service a larger variety and volume of ships, and we just do it better than they do.
On healthcare, specifically Obamacare, Haley remained adamant.
Healthcare should be state based and not federal based, she said. We will continue to resist and say, No, to Obamacare.
On welfare, Haley said it is about finding out how to put welfare recipients to work.
Before, you filled out the application and waited on your check. What we need to do is to find out what kind of skills these recipients have and find them jobs. They want to work. They want to make their families proud. Then you can take the 20,000 people off welfare and make them part of the workforce.
On education, the governor said children need to learn to read by the fourth grade if they want to continue progressing toward a diploma.
More than 800,000 people in South Carolina dont have a G.E.D. and there are only 4.5 million people in the state she said. We have to teach these kids to read.
If a child cant read by the end of the third grade, they will not advance to the fourth grade. Statistics show if a student cant read by the fourth grade they are four times more likely not to graduate.
Haley warned about what she called the hidden evils of local option penny sales taxes, saying to be careful what you wish for when approving them.
Once theyre here they never go away, she said.
Haley is also not a fan of the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) or the Certificate of Need (CON):
Im not a fan of the CON. I think it is a wishing well for hospitals. Government needs to back out of this and let the businesses compete for their customer base. Hospitals are businesses, and when businesses compete, quality goes up while costs go down.
Haley concluded her remarks by saying South Carolinas success is always going to be about jobs, Because people want to work. That is the heart of the American Dream, and when they say the American Dream is dead in South Carolina, we can proudly raise our heads and say, No, we are just getting started.
Haley will face Democratic State Sen. Vincent Sheheen in Novembers general election.

Hi everyone,
I'm new here and I've also had Pre E in my first pregnancy. I consider myself fortunate as we have a healthy baby girl and I recovered without developing Eclampsia after her birth.
My husband and I want to start TTC at the end of the year as our little girl is now almost a year old. We want two children and even though I only plan on becoming pregnant one more time, it still feels like a huge risk. There really doesn't seem to be enough research done in this area which scares me even more.
I developed Pre E later in pregnancy and delivered at 38+5 and although the thought of getting Preeclampsia again makes me feel ill, I could handle developing it again later in pregnancy but the possibility of getting it earlier or more severe terrifies me! Being a completely healthy 24 year old when I first fell pregnant and still getting Pre E was a huge shock and a massive blow to my confidence as I felt weak and like my body was letting my baby down.
If anyone has any information on how closely we are monitored in subsequent pregnancies and what tests and things they do differently I would love to hear it!
Thanks everyone!

The video was taken through a car windshield on a rainy day. But watch to the end. - jrs
Video: L.A. Cops Shoot a Guy Point-Blank Outside a Carl's Jr.
Video: L.A. Cops Shoot a Guy Point-Blank Outside a Carls Jr.
Video: L.A. Cops Shoot a Guy Point-Blank Outside a Carl's Jr. Police officers in Monterey Park, Calif., shot and killed a man in the parking lot of a Carl's Jr. yesterday morning, and witnesses caught it on video. According to the New York Daily News, the man, who was wearing a dark hoodie, was breaking windows inside the restaurant. The video shows him coming out into the parking lot carrying what looks like a shovel or large hammer. The cops appear to taser him, which has no effect. When he seems to rear up to swing the object in his handbut before swinging itthe two officers fire off ten shots.
Five were fired while he was standing, and five after he appeared to fall to the ground (the actual shooting is obscured in the video by a parked car). According to the Daily News, five of the bullets struck the victim, who was pronounced dead later at a local hospital.
The people who recorded the video seemed to get a kick out of the whole thing: "He lit that motherfucker!" says one. "Dude, he shot him so many times," said another, laughing.

Change to bill puts Lee County back in Raleigh economic zone
One of the few political proposals Sanford, Broadway and Lee County elected officials supported in unison this year has now been approved by both the N.C. House and Senate.
Senate Bill 127, which would split the state into regional economic zones, originally had Lee County as the farthest-flung county in a region whose main metro area was Charlotte. Local officials were not pleased, saying they thought Lee County belonged in the Raleigh region and that being grouped with Charlotte would do more harm than good. The bill was later amended to put Lee County in the Fayetteville region, which local leaders said was better than being included with Charlotte but still not as good as being with Raleigh. Thursday, however, the bill passed the House with Lee County as part of the Raleigh region.
"That's fabulous, to be honest with you," Donnie Oldham, Lee County Economic Development Corporation chairman and executive director, said Friday morning after being informed of the change. "This makes it a lot simpler."
Lee County is already engaged in multiple private and semi-private partnerships in the Triangle area — most notably the Research Triangle Regional Partnership, which focuses on helping members recruit businesses — and Oldham said officials would likely have chosen to remain in those groups in the future no matter what. Having the government's definition of the Raleigh economic zone line up with the private sector's definition, he said, should ensure efficiency.
"It just makes it a lot cleaner for us to be involved with the Raleigh area on all fronts," Oldham said.
Like the private groups, the state's eight regional government groups proposed by this bill will facilitate economic development and marketing. They also must maintain centralized offices staffed by members of the state's departments of Commerce, Transportation and Environment and Natural Resources, as well as the Community Colleges System Office, for local governments, schools and businesses to turn to for help. Those offices will be created by January 1, according to the bill, which won't become law until it's ratified and then approved by Gov. Pat McCrory.
Lee, Chatham and Harnett counties are in the North Central Region Prosperity Zone, which also includes Durham, Franklin, Granville, Johnston, Orange, Person, Vance, Wake and Warren counties.
"To me, that's a good move," Lee County Board of Commissioners Chairman Charlie Parks said Friday after learning of the changes. "We had established relations in [the Raleigh] area that now we won't have to try to recreate somewhere else."
His board passed a resolution against the bill in April, when Lee County was still grouped with Charlotte. The Broadway Board of Town Commissioners also passed a resolution against the bill, and members of the Sanford City Council traveled to Raleigh in March with city staff to speak with legislators against the bill.
"Hallelujah Lord Jesus," Sanford Mayor Cornelia Olive said when informed of the news on Friday. "What a relief."
She said that with Wake County's growth creeping southward, Lee County is in a perfect position to become even more closely linked with the metro area, so it's good that legislators saw that as well.
"It's a matter of convenience; it's a matter of familiarity; it's a matter of common sense," she said. "We have had a tie with the Research Triangle since it began."
Broadway Mayor Donald Andrews was the only head of any of the local governing boards to have known about the change to the bill before it passed Thursday, informing his fellow town board members on Monday at their monthly meeting.
"Now we're back to Wake [County], so that's a good thing," he said.

NICEVILLE — Nancy Sorenson was a mother, a wife and a friend. The woman from East Rockaway, N.Y., was one of more than 100 people in the United States who died from Hurricane Sandy last October.
Sorenson's cousin, Niceville resident Mary Quinn, said the mother of three left a legacy of love and faith. Now, Quinn wants to cherish that memory and help to ease the devastation up north by raising funds for Catholic Charities of Brooklyn and Queens.
On Oct. 29, Quinn said her cousin was trying to retrieve some mementos from her home when the storm surge sent water rushing into her home.
A large mirror fell off the wall and shattered and severely cut Sorenson's arm. No emergency personnel could respond at the height of the storm, so Sorenson's family watched as she bled to death.
"Being from here, you know the damage (hurricanes) can do, the disruption, the devastation," Quinn said. "When you're looking at somebody crying because she's looking at her destroyed home, what amounts to a pile of her life — the photos, the mementos, all the things you can never replace — it makes you want to do something."
Quinn has asked Catholic Charities of Northwest Florida to help raise money for the victims of the super storm. Some people still are without power in below-freezing weather.
The "Grab a Fork, Lend a Hand" fund-raiser will be at 6 p.m. Saturday at Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church's Parish Life Center in Niceville.
"Our goal is to raise $2,000," said Kelly Humphrey, director of marketing and development with Catholic Charities. "We just want to tell them we're thinking of you, we've been there. It's a chance for us to support our brothers and sisters in New York."
The event will feature booths with foods from around the world as well as southern treats and New York classics. There also will be door prizes and a 50-50 donation drawing.
"If we can alleviate some of the suffering on the financial end for everyone involved, perhaps it will help them heal. It can be us and it has been us going through this.
"We need to pay it forward."
TO LEARN MORE For more information about the fund-raiser, call Catholic Charities at 737-0864. Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church is at 1200 Valparaiso Blvd. in Niceville.
