R/West Helps You 'Get a Heart On' for Men - Yahoo Finance

For all of you Turkish and Greek coffee lovers (sorry filtered coffee drinkers, this ones not for you), you get added benefits of these compounds founds in the beans.They may protect against some cancers, and they have antiviral, antimicrobial and antiinflammatory properties. So, whats the downside? While all of the above sounds great, there are a few things to stop and think about before you begin guzzling down mega size coffees. Buzzzzzz As you may have experienced before, excessive caffeine can give you the jitters, cause sleep deprivation and increase your heart rate. Imagine what 101 espresso shots feel like! (Luckily, the Florida man reportedly shared the Starbucks drink, lets hope it was with many, many of his nearest and dearest.) Buzzzzzzkill Having coffee daily makes you crave caffeine, and skipping a day can lead to some pretty grueling headaches and tired muscles. This can be OK, if you stick to one to two cups per day. Try not to go above this. So think before you drink, and be cognizant of your daily intake. Fancy buzzzzzkill Calories in your cup can add up quickly if you muck em up.

D.C.'s Hellbender Brewing Company Launches Its First Beer Tonight - Young & Hungry

We have come to a very real crossroads. Retailers have no choice. They must assume the perimeters of their computer networks WILL be breached, Paula Rosenblum writes for Forbes. Hackers continue to run one step ahead of retailers and their security experts and standards. Home Depot, like Target before it, was compliant with industry standards, called PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). In both cases, the bad guys entered the network perimeter by using a vendors login credentials, Rosenblum writes. Allowing vendors to access retailer networks is not a bad thing in and of itself. It has become more and more common for retailers to implement these Vendor Portals. It saves both retailers and suppliers time and money on billing, information sharing and standards reviews. PCI-DSS does indeed specify that vendor portals must be separated from internal networks. And Home Depot had done so. But in this case, the bad guys exploited a hole in the Microsoft MSFT +1.71% Windows Operating System (most likely on a server) to hop across networks. Microsoft later patched that hole, but for Home Depot (and who knows who else!) the damage was done. MacDailyNews Take: Microsoft Windows. The gift that keeps on giving. Like dysentery. What should consumers do? Rosenblum writes. Dont expose your credit card information to retailers at all. MacDailyNews Take: CVS, Rite-Aid and any other retailers that have blocked Apple Pay are playing with fire. Lawsuits will flow forth against them should they become the next Target or Home Depot. Sleep tight, CVS et al. Related articles:

Four close-to-home holiday getaways | Travel Pages | The Seattle Times

5, 2014 at 12:14 pm D.C.'s newest brewery also aims to be its most environmentally conscious. That starts with the name: Hellbender Brewing Company , a nod tothe hellbender salamander. Co-founder Ben Evans was fascinated by these nocturnal amphibianslarge enough to eat a small kittenas a kid and now aims to bring awareness totheirendangerment. He and co-founderPatrick Mullanehave already done an event with the National Zoo to raise money for an endangered salamander exhibit. Hellbender's brewing process also has the environment in mind with unique brewing system "radically different than anything seen in D.C. to date" that uses less water and less grain. Rather than crushing thegrain to the consistency of oatmeal, they use a Belgian-made hammer mill and mash filter system that turnsit into aflour-like powder. The greater surface area means they can extract morenutrients and sugar with less grain. Hellbender claims to be the only craft brewery with a mash filter on the East Coast, but the system is widely used in Belgium. The brewers have also partnered with American University's Office of Sustainability to find local farmers who will take theirspent grain and use it as livestock feed and compost. Evans brings a scientific background to brewing as a microbiologist and neuroscientist who previously worked on visual regeneration in blind Mexican cave fish at the University of Maryland. Meanwhile, Mullane spent 12 years asa congressional aide on Capitol Hill, primarily in transportation policy. The two bonded over their love of home brewing and ultimately decided to take the plunge into brewing professionally. Hellbender's first beer, a full-bodied American red ale called Red Line, will debut today at5 p.mwith an event at Iron Horse Taproom featuring $5 pints. The brewery will release its next flagship beer, Bare Bones Kolsch, at ChurchKeyon Nov.11 and its Eft IPA the week after that. Expect several seasonalbeers as soon as next spring. Evans, his dad, and some friends also started a small hop farm in upstate New York in 2010 that grows 15 varieties of hops. After the fall harvest, Hellbender will use these hops for one-off beers. The brewery's tasting room will open Nov. 15 with hours tentatively set from 1 to 6 p.m. The following week, Hellbender plans to expand its public hours to Thursdays and Fridays from 5 to 8 p.m. in addition to Saturdays.

La Crosse County building permits for Sunday, Nov. 9

This is the exact reason why there is a recession in levels of home building, added Cramer. There are two general parties created by this: Those who want to stimulate lending by lowering the down payment on a home from 20 percent to 3 percent, and those who want to ease credit ratings for home buyers. Cramer thinks the latter option would be huge, considering that you need a near perfect FICO score of 730 to even get a home loan in the current housing climate. Cramer Remix: Stocks for the next 25 years Sandy Weill: 'Banks aren't the same anymore' ---------------------------------------------------------- Lower gasoline is also a good sign for homebuilders. The cheaper gas could encourage people to buy a home that is further away from their place of work and spur homebuilding in areas where people were reluctant to build before.
