While we celebrate the Calgary Stampede, the Calgarians are looking to beat the heat!

While we continue to Celebrate the Calgary Stampede with a week of surprises and lots of cash to be won, Calgarians are looking for ways to beat the heat.

Southern Alberta is in the grips of a heat wave, with temperatures close to 30 C in the city Tuesday, and expected to remain in the high 20s throughout the week.

“We do anticipate over the next couple of days some late afternoon or early evening thunderstorms developing.” said Environment Canada meteorologist Bill McMurtry.

While that happens and the temperatures drop, here are some ways you can cool down under the glaring sun:

Set the Dial Higher

If you have central air, set your thermostat above 78 degrees (all temperatures cited here are in degrees Fahrenheit). You’ll save 5 to 8 percent on cooling costs with each degree above that mark. For a typical household, setting the thermostat at 80 degrees saves 10 to 15 percent; raising it to 85 degrees will save 35 to 55 percent.

Wear loose fitting light colored clothing.

Lighter colors attract less heat and with loose clothing it will allow for more air-flow to help keep you cool.

Change your routine.

As nice as that run may be early afternoon on a Saturday, summer is not the time for it! Adjust your activities so they are happening earlier or later in the day when the temperatures are cooler and the sun isn’t beating on you as harshly.

Snack on treats from the freezer

Munch on frozen grapes, berries or bananas, whip up some smoothies, or make homemade Popsicles with the kids.

Spritz yourself.

Keep a spray bottle in the refrigerator, and when the going gets hot, give yourself a good squirt. “As the water evaporates, it cools you.” says John Lehnhardt, an elephant expert at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, in Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Swig often. To replace the moisture that you lose as you perspire, be sure to drink. As you lose water to dehydration, your body temperature rises, so replacing fluids is essential to keeping cool. Avoid beverages that contain alcohol, caffeine, or lots of sugar, which are dehydrating.

Go for a swim…

…even if its in a plastic pool in the back yard!

Is There a Link Between Car Color and Accidents?

When we are planning to buy a car, whether it is used or brand new, we usually care about specific mechanical conditions, safety, comfort and some other subjective and objective variables. However, is the color a crucial factor within the decision making process?  Have you ever wonder how your car’s color can positively or negatively impact your risk of collision?

Well, it seems color is important factor to keep in mind.  Your car’s color could make it clearly visible to other drivers and pedestrians, however safety also depends on other factors such as: Weather and road conditions, age and experience of the driver just to mention a few of them.

The below is the proposed list of car colors arranged from the safest to the most dangerous, using the results of a study carried out by the Monash University Accident Research Centre in Melbourne:

white (safest)
pink
maroon
yellow
blue
cream
mauve
red
green
gold
brown
fawn
silver
orange
grey
black (most dangerous)

If your car is among the not so safe colors, don’t be deceived by statistics as it was said, not all factors involved in an accident are only related to the vehicle’s color. But you can keep it in mind next time you buy a new one!

Fortunately when it comes to online bingo, color is not an influential factor, only numbers and luck! So, if you want to try yours tonight, don’t miss the Nightly $500 Coverall who knows you can walk away with an extra $500 in your pocket for your Christmas shopping

Are There Healthy Cooking Oils?

Confused about which cooking oils are heart-healthy and which aren’t? Was it Canola, Sunflower, Soybean, Palm or Corn?  Going through the many options we have at the supermarket shelves can be overwhelming sometimes. So which ones are the best? Here are two to pick:

1.       Olive Oil: Use olive oil in dishes that benefit from its rich flavor. Drizzle it on steamed vegetables, mix it into a salad dressing, use a little to sauté vegetables. Or use it in baking in place of butter.

Olive oil contains monounsaturated fat which is supposed to help keep “bad” cholesterol low and boost levels of “good” cholesterol. In addition, if you use extra-virgin olive oil you will have “extra antioxidants bonus” as extra-virgin olive oil is high in antioxidants called polyphenols that have been linked to heart health.

 2.       Canola Oil: it is extremely versatile, is great for sautéing, roasting, baking and making salad dressings.

Canola oil has a neutral flavor and a high smoke. The smoke point is something you have to take into consideration as it is the point at what nutrients are destroyed and potentially health-harming compounds are formed. That is why it is great to sautéing. Canola oil generally doesn’t have many antioxidants, as olive oil does, but it is the richest cooking-oil source of alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fat that has been linked to heart health.

So, let me ask you this question again: What is the best oil to buy? Now let me ask you another question: What is something you can’t ever have enough of? Online bingo that’s right! Check out our Wednesday promotions so you can keep experiencing all the fun we offer!

Do you suffer from Adermatoglyphia?

Are you familiar with the term: Adermatoglyphia?  Not quite an illness this special condition seems to be taken out of a fiction book. It can actually become the worst nightmare of crime scene investigators and customs service as adermatoglyphia is a rare genetic mutation that causes some people to be born without fingerprints.

It is commonly known as the immigration-delay disease as lack of fingerprints makes it difficult for people to cross international borders. How can you prove you are who you say you are if your fingerprints are not in the records?  Quite challenging…

Our fingerprints are one of the many distinctive and unique features we have. Fingerprints are believed to reduce friction between the skin and the surface of objects and to increase the sensitivity of touch. Besides,  no two people, have the same fingerprints not even identical twins.  (Not even in online bingo happens, two people can’t have exactly the same bingo card or bingo card number)

Due to its nature, scientists are still trying to determine the origin of this rare mutation, so far it has not been found.   Hopefully they’ll do it one day.

Winning Money is not the Only Reason to Play Bingo!

Did you know that playing online bingo is always a win-win deal?  #1 Every time you yell bingo, your bingo account balance goes up #2 You get to make socialize with people all over the world #3 and most important of all, you get to exercise your brain and increase its potential. 

How? Well, according to recent studies playing bingo invigorate the minds of its players as the visual perception and fast hand-eye coordination are needed to scan the cards and mark them.  Playing bingo makes your mind more alert and responsive, improves your memory and the ability to absorb information and as a collateral effect, playing bingo staves off the deterioration of the brain that comes with age.

Although these tests were performed on traditional bingo players, they can also be attributed to online bingo  as it is practically the same game but on the internet. So it can be concluded that online bingo has the same effects as regular bingo on people.

Save Some Money on Gas, Use it to Play Bingo.

With gas prices now over $4 a gallon in some parts of the country (you might be thinking why I didn’t buy a hybrid) I would like to give you some tips for you to boost your fuel economy and get some money left to invest in online bingo.

Start by fill your car with gas either early in the morning as all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline is. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening your gallon is not exactly a gallon.

Inflate your tires to the specified level. This will reduce the contact area of your tire to the road and therefore reduce the friction. Parking your car in the shade; you also reduce the amount of fuel that evaporates.

To reduce drag (turbulence) which increases your fuel consumption avoid:  Driving fast (besides drivers who drive thinking in terms of fuel-efficiency have the best safety records), opening your windows (although opening your windows at low speeds and using the air conditioner at high speeds gives you better fuel economy), and don’t drive around with ski-, bicycle- or luggage-rack on your roof.

These are just some of the many tips that you can take into account to improve your fuel economy. If you want to read further on the subject, I recommend you to read this article from the Seattle Times  If you already knew these tips, saved some money and are willing to play online bingo join us  today as it is Wealthy Wednesdays, Happy Hour starts at 4pm and Mother’s Day Quest is on until midnight!
