There are many different reasons a guest might need to stay over for a night or two. Perhaps a relative from afar is visiting, and you’ve spared him or her the expense of paying for a hotel. Some friends may need a layover spot between traveling. Some hosts prefer to err on the side of safety when a party gets a bit too rowdy by offering a place to crash for the night. Whatever the reason for hosting an overnight guest, there are different steps you can take to make sure the person feels comfortable staying in your home. Be courteous to his or her needs, even if it infringes on your own comfort for the time being. * Have a private area for sleeping. Some guests are content to crash on the couch for a night, but the courteous host will offer a better place in which
to retire. Not every home is equipped with a spare bedroom, but there are ways to make existing spaces more comfortable and private. Offer your own room for the time being, seeing as you will have full run of the rest of the house and know the comings and goings of daily routines. Otherwise, ask one of the children to bunk with
another and prepare his or her bedroom for your guest. If you have an out-of-the-way den or office, you may be able to set up a futon or fold-out sofa there for your guest. * Keep special linens on hand. You probably want to make a good impression, and that involves making the bed with crisp, clean sheets and blankets. Keep a set of guest linens in a bag with a sheet of fabric softener or a little potpourri sack to ensure the sheets always smell fresh. Now is not the time to drag out those old floral sheets that have seen their share of wear and tear. * Have extra grooming essentials at the ready. Guests look to

* Tailor the menu for your guests. You’re likely going to break bread with your houseguest, so be sure to ask which foods they like and if there any that are best avoided. Have some snacks available so guests can help themselves. * Free up the spare bathroom. If yours is a home with two or more full bathrooms, set aside one solely for your guest. Sometimes it can be embarrassing or uncomfortable for guests to shower in the family bathroom. Having a bathroom set aside specifically for guests can make
the stay even more enjoyable. * Find out which creature comforts your guest desires. Some people like to sleep with an eye mask to block out the light. Others like to watch TV alone in the evening. Some may need a fan or a white noise machine to drift off into slumber. See if you can accommodate your guest further by catering to any special preferences they might have. * Leave pockets of personal time available. Some hosts or hostesses feel that they’re being accommodating by planning a full itinerary. However, some guests would simply enjoy some quiet time alone. Be sure to pepper the stay with moments of group activities but also some chances for guest and host alike to spend some time alone.

Play it smart for Labor Day festivities Despite the name, many American’s don’t labor much on Labor Day. Rather, the federal holiday pays homage to working men and women, and has done so since 1894. Most people associate Labor Day with a chance to gather with family and friends for one last summer hurrah. This
year Labor Day falls on Monday, the 3rd of September and will mark the unofficial end to the summer season. The last big travel weekend of the summer, Labor Day weekend witnesses many families taking to the roads in search

of their final adventure before school begins anew or business returns to normal hours after the relaxed summer season. Rural destinations typically notice a spike in tourism come Labor Day weekend. Savvy travelers know to plan ahead before embarking on a Labor Day weekend getaway. A major weekend for tourism, Labor Day weekend finds hundreds of cars on the roadways, all heading to similar destinations. Sitting in stop-and-go traffic is often the bane of anyone looking to relax on the last summer weekend of the year. It also can be taxing on a car. It is essential to have your car, van or truck inspected to be sure it’s in proper working order. It pays to have an oil change and to have fluid levels topped off. Also, have tires checked and the pressure adjusted. Taking each of these routine maintenance precautions can help reduce the likelihood of being stranded on the side of the road as you watch happy Labor Day revelers drive by. Although many people like to get a jump-start on travel plans by leaving early, this practice has grown more commonplace, so leaving early no longer guarantees less traffic. One way to beat traffic is to do the majority of your driving in the evening. And because the scores of vacationers will be rushing back for work and school in time for Tuesday morning, you may want to consider leaving very early Labor Day morning or the night prior to beat the traffic home.
Doing so means planning the majority of your festivities for the weekend instead of Labor Day itself. Because Labor Day is a recognized holiday, bank and government offices will be closed. Some stores or restaurants may be working on holiday hours, as will public transportation. Knowing this in advance can help you plan accordingly. Despite Labor Day being a holiday in both Canada and the United
States, border points between the countries will still be staffed. Therefore, if you’re traveling between the two countries, be sure to have all proper documentation with you and at the ready. If yours is a long trip, be sure to bring adequate refreshments with you. This will reduce the need to stop at rest stops and pay premium prices for food. Take-along-snacks are also more healthy because they allow drivers to choose healthy snacks as opposed to roadside fare, which is typically fast food. Be sure to also pack activities for children to keep them occupied. Some people prefer to avoid the travel rush and host a party cont. on page 10

Fate has its way Just 10 days after their first time together, Terry Johnson, John Jarvis, and Pat Morreale, received a call from a local night club to play their first gig. After that night, “we all knew we had something special.” And so the story goes, on that starry starry night in October 2010. They have been together since, growing by leaps and bounds, playing across the board in many of our New York Night clubs.

at home. Because stores will fill up with shoppers nearer to the weekend, try to shop as early as possible in the week to cut down on shopping with the crowds. Many people host their own events, so if you’re planning on throwing a party or barbecue, alert guests well in advance. Labor Day is also a holiday when people take to the water. Beaches are often filled, backyard pools become oases and traffic on lakes and waterways is bustling with boats and water sports equipment. It is vital to brush up on water safety to avoid injury. Here are some tips to avoid water-related accidents or injuries. * Take a swimming course.

properly sized for the passengers on board. * An infant and small children may drown in less than two inches of water. Never leave a child alone around water. * Constant supervision is needed when children are around water. Adults need supervision, too. Always swim with a buddy. * Keep gates around pools latched so that children cannot wander near the pool and accidentally fall in. * Swim at beaches manned by a lifeguards. * Pay attention to all safety notices regarding potential swimming hazards in the water.

Tailor the menu to guests’ needs Hosting a dinner party is a big responsibility. In addition to sending out the invitations and getting their house ready for entertaining, hosts must consider what to serve for dinner. The days of yore when hosts could serve just about anything and guests would happily dive in are now a thing of the past. Thanks to a host of factors, more and more people are restricting their diets, and conscientious hosts should tailor the menu so everyone can enjoy a good meal without having to go against their diets. There are several ways dinner party hosts can tweak the menu to meet their guests’ needs.

* Start with the invitations. When inviting guests, ask each guest to let you know if they have any dietary restrictions that limit what they can eat. Include
this request on the invitation, but send out an e-mail a few weeks before the party to remind guests to let you know if
there is anything that’s off limits. Guests might overlook this request on the invitation, so don’t forget to send the e-mail. * Expect the unexpected. Despite requests and reminders, some guests might surprise you come the night of the party and be unable to eat the meal. Plan for this by having some safe
foods, such as salad or pasta, on hand so even guests with dietary restrictions can still enjoy a good meal. * Have nonalcoholic beverages on hand. A glass of wine makes a good complement to a homecooked meal, but don’t assume each guest drinks alcohol. Have some nonalcoholic beverages on hand for those guests who either abstain from alcohol or cannot imbibe for medical reasons. In addition, some people can’t consume caffeine, so be sure to have some decaffeinated coffee available to serve with dessert. When hosting a party, hosts should work with their guests to make sure everyone can indulge in a good meal.

Holding an event without the benefit of advance planning or preparation can be nightmarish for hosts. Though some hosts may not flinch at such a daunting task, others may fret at the idea of opening up their homes at the last minute. But hosts faced with the task of throwing a last-minute affair can take the following five tips to heart to ensure their party goes off without a hitch. 1. Clean only what’s seen. If you’ve prepped for a party in the past, you may have spent several hours cleaning thoroughly in anticipation of your guests. But when time is of the essence, you may not be able to devote the same amount of time to cleaning. Take inventory of the rooms and spaces where the event will be held. Do a cursory cleaning, paying special attention to removing clutter (or simply hiding it). At the least, bathrooms should be clean and sanitary. In the living room, turn over couch cushions so that the rarely used side is showing. This can minimize the appearance of stains or pet hair. Open curtains widely to let in more light or keep drapes drawn if your windows need washing. Bedrooms can remain closed or locked to conceal messy rooms. However, kitchens will need to be cleaned. Empty the dishwasher so that you can
16 PULSE pulsepointpress.com AUGUST 2012
simply place soiled cups, dishes and silverware inside as they are used. 2. Banish odors. A foul-smelling home is not inviting. There are many different contributors to odors in the home, most notably pets and cooking. Try not to make anything especially odoriferous, like fish or fried foods, before guests arrive. Thoroughly air out the home by opening the windows for a few hours and keep pets (weather-permitting) outside. Consider the use of a pet cologne or nicely scented detangling spray to improve that wet dog aroma. Some air fresheners combine with odors throughout the home and make things worse. Look for products that clean the air or use scented candles, a pot of boiling herbs or essential oils to freshen up. 3. Choose convenience foods. Most athome entertainers would prefer to mingle with their guests instead of spending the day in the kitchen cooking and serving. Having foods pre-made will negate the need to turn on the oven and add extra warmth to the home. Consider having the party catered. Otherwise, purchase easy, ready-made items, such as cold cuts and rolls, salads, fruit, quiche, and any other foods that require minimal heating and prep. When the weather is warm, fire up the barbecue and do your cooking outdoors. cont. page 18

Hosts pressed for time can also throw a pot luck dinner, wherein guests bring one dish with them, reducing the host’s workload. 4. Make clean-up easy. Be sure to keep several visible trash cans and recyclable bins around so guests can discard their used items accordingly. Disposable plates and cups are usually coveted for these types of events, but some people would like more environmentally friendly options. In this case, look for disposable items that are made from recycled materials. Otherwise, purchase re-usable plastic items that are dishwasher-safe.
Choose individual servings of beverages, including canned soft drinks or small bottles of water. This will cut down on the number of cups or glasses used. If you prefer buying larger containers of beverages, look for new party cups where you can scratch names onto the front of the cup, ensuring it doesn’t get lost or tossed in the trash prematurely. 5. Relax. If you are close to your guests, relax. They will understand how much work goes into hosting a party -- never mind doing it with short notice. Chances are they won’t judge your convenience foods, frantic cleaning or time-saving strategies.

How to make healthy school lunches for kids Confrontations focusing on diet between children and parents have been around seemingly since the beginning of time. Many children start off as cooperative eaters, anxious to try different types of foods. As they get older, the number of foods they’re apt to eat diminishes, which can make choosing healthy items for lunches and dinners more difficult. It also can make packing lunches for school more challenging. Many initiatives have attempted to improve the quality of school lunches provided by school cafeterias. Government regulations to reduce the amount of fat and sodium in these lunches, and to introduce more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, are one such initiative. Parents of students who prefer to bring their own lunches from home may be left wondering how they can create healthy lunches their kids will eat.
Considering school lunches must compete with far less healthy yet widely available alternatives, parents will need to be creative in their creation of homemade lunches. Here are some ideas to get you started. * Purchase a new lunch container. There are many different new and innovative lunch containers that can make separating school lunches easy. Few kids want to dig into a brown paper sack and pull out something that has been so squashed it’s unrecognizable. Partitioned lunch boxes enable you to pack different items together where they can be stored separately. The divisions also help you remember to include foods from the basic food groups, such as a fruit, vegetable, protein, starch and dairy item. * Have your child make a list of cont. on page 27

Food safety is important when entertaining Entertaining at home is one of the ways friends and families spend time together, and food is often at the center of such gatherings, acting as a conversation starter or even the central component of the festivities. But food can also make your gathering memorable for all the wrong reasons. Forty-eight million people get sick from contaminated food each year. Common causes of food-borne illnesses are bacteria, parasites and viruses present in improperly handled food. Some foods also contain contaminants

foods cold during serving. Use chafing dishes or bowls or bins of ice if necessary. * Discard any leftover food that has been sitting out if it hasn’t been placed in a container and refrigerated or frozen within two hours. If it’s especially hot outside, discard after one hour. * Keep foods covered when serving outdoors. Insects, notably flies, carry harmful bacteria, which can be transferred to food from saliva or body contact.

that result from the growing or packaging process. * Wash your hands thoroughly before handling any type of food. * Avoid cross-contamination of foods by using utensils for only one type of food (e.g., separate cutting board and knives for meat and produce). * Cook foods to proper internal temperatures. * Keep foods thoroughly chilled to prevent bacteria growth. Do not over-stuff a refrigerator, or it may not be able to retain a cold enough temperature necessary to inhibit growth of microorganisms. * Store raw meats on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator so they don’t accidently leak or drip onto other foods. * Keep hot foods hot and cold
* Thaw foods in the refrigerator, not on the counter. * Sanitize kitchen surfaces with bleach and water to kill any residual bacteria from food preparation.
What’s Your Story?
* Do not use meat, poultry or seafood marinades again to baste cooking foods. * Wash all fruits and vegetables prior to cooking. Fleshy fruits can become contaminated simply from a knife coming in contact with the rind and then the fruit pulp.

his or her favorite foods. Once the list has been made, see how you can make the foods healthier. For example, if chicken nuggets make the list, prepare your own nuggets with white meat chunks that are baked, not fried. If there are a number of bread items, see if you can substitute whole grain breads instead of white, bleached varieties. * Get creative. Children may not be inclined to eat loose pieces of fruit. But if the fruit is stuck on skewers or served with a low-fat dipping sauce or caramel, it may look more appealing. Look to “mini” foods, which tend to be more fun as well. Little sandwiches and little burgers may present an optical illusion, where kids think they’re eating only a small amount, but actually it’s a full serving.

Back-to-school party ideas Back-to-school season is on the horizon, and many students and parents are either loving or loathing the idea of starting a new school year. For some, a party to commemorate the new school year and the end of summer is customary. Hosting a fun event for the soon-to-be students is one way to make the most of vacation time.
* Go with a theme. Maybe the theme is rulers and text books, ABCs, or science, and it can run through the decorations used, the games played, the food served, and many other aspects of the event. Consider a science
experiment inspired volcano cake that is oozing strawberry jam.

* Include some educational games. Some students experience educational backsliding during summer vacation. That is why many schools have summer reading lists that educators feel promote lesson reinforcement for the coming school year. With this in mind, plan activities around concepts children learned in school. Think about math problem relay races, art projects, reading a story and reenacting it in a play form, or science experiments using solar energy. * Host a campout reading marathon. Encourage guests to bring sleeping bags and favorite books to a campout under the stars. Most of the time can be spent reading while breaks can be devoted to exercising, making
campout snacks or telling campfire stories. * Rent out a fun bus or truck. Since many students will be spending a good deal of time on a school bus once the new school year commences, tie into those jaunts to school by renting the services of a game bus or truck. Some vendors will park their vehicles in front of the house for an hour or more, allowing children to climb inside and enjoy themselves on play equipment or compete in video game competitions inside specialized gaming trucks. * Plan a group event at the
beach. Enlist the help of a few chaperones and set up an area on the beach where kids can play and explore the wonders of nature around them. Pack picnictype snacks or ask attendees to bring items themselves. * Plan a trip to the school. First-time students may be anxious about what to expect during their first days of school. Having friends who are slightly older accompany younger kids to school to give a tour and show them the ropes make the experience less frightening. Afterward, meet at a pizzeria to enjoy some slices and soda. * Host a classic pool party. Of course, some kids want to commemorate the end of summer vacation by enjoying the pool one last time. Have a classic pool party and barbecue in the yard for everyone to enjoy.
Adults returning to school to advance careers What do you do if the economy has stalled your career prospects or left you looking for a new job? Many adults are choosing to go back to school. Thousands of laid-off workers or those who are stuck in careers that may not have been their first choice find that the path to new opportunities runs through a classroom. Spurred by the $787 billion economic stimulus bill that President Obama signed back in February 2009, which included almost $2 billion for adult employment services like training, many adults have traded in their time cards for textbooks. Or they’re spending evenings and weekends taking courses after-hours. Community colleges and some vocational schools are finding the recession has been good for enrollment. To attract adult students, they’re offering programs that are tailored to individuals seeking new skill sets. Some school marketing teams have sent recruiters into factories and other industrial places to speak to workers at the source. Other schools are expanding or just developing online degree options, which enable adults to take classes on their own time. Online schooling is an attractive alternative because of flexible schedules and no commute times. According to Back to College, an online resource for those interested in going back to school, recent statistics indicate more than 90 percent of traditional institutions provide or plan to provide some kind of program through distance learning. Thousands of students now log on to distance-learning portals instead of sitting in a traditional classroom.

How to save on home improvement projects With the economy still struggling, money is tight for many homeowners. That reality can present a problem to those who want to improve their homes without spending too much money. The cost of a home improvement project depends on a host of factors, including the scale of the project and the availability of materials. Upscale projects like a full roof replacement will set homeowners back a substantial amount of money. In its 2011-2012 “Cost vs. Value Report,” Remodeling magazine revealed that the average cost of a such a project was nearly $38,000. However, a smaller project like a garage door replacement could be completed for fewer than $3,000. When deciding if a home

improvement project is within your budget, it’s a good idea to consult such figures before choosing a project. For example, if your home is a fixer-upper, then one project may not be more urgent than another, something that may allow you to choose less expensive projects now while saving money for more expensive projects down the road. It’s also important for homeowners to know that figures such as those in the “Cost vs. Value Report” are just averages. Some projects might cost more than the average, while others might come in well under budget. To ensure your project is one of the latter and not the former, consider the following
Bathroom... from previous page
ways to trim costs off your next home improvement project. * Avoid the DIY movement if you don’t have adequate experience. Many homeowners fall into the DIY trap, feeling they can pull off a project without hiring a professional contractor. While this is an option for those homeowners with home improvement experience, it’s an approach that’s best avoided by those without such experience. Homeowners who decide to go it alone on a home improvement project should know that mistakes are costly. One mistake could have you paying for the same materials twice: once when you begin the project, and then again when you need to hire a contractor after your
typically found in modern hotels that boast luxury amenities. Instead of the tub and slide glass, choose a hinged door with heavier glass, replacing the bathtub entirely.
homeowners whose bathrooms currently feature soaking tubs where they can escape the daily grind with a hot bath and now even watch a little television while they soak.
* Add windows and a skylight. Many bathrooms, particularly those in older homes, sorely lack adequate lighting. Adding some extra windows and a skylight can give a bathroom an entirely new look, even if you don’t replace any of the existing features or fixtures. Sunlight can make a bathroom more inviting, giving the room the feeling of a sanctuary that many of today’s homeowners prefer.
* Replace old tiles. Many homeowners cite their bathroom’s tiles as the feature they would most like to change. Old linoleum tiles give many bathrooms a dated look that few of today’s homeowners find appealing. Glass tiles are growing in popularity, but those old linoleum or glazed tiles can be swapped out with porcelain or stone tiles to give the room an entirely new look without spending excessively.
* Add some entertainment. Just like they offer larger showers with more room to breathe, many luxury hotels now ensure guests can be entertained even while they’re in the bathroom. Such hotels often feature small flatscreen televisions that sit behind the bathroom’s mirror. Guests don’t even see the television until it’s turned on. Homeowners can bring this lap of luxury into their own homes. This is especially valuable to
* Replace the toilet. Another easy way to give a bathroom a new look is to replace the toilet. Older toilets may be eyesores and many are not very eco-friendly, either. A new toilet can give the bathroom a sleek, modern look, and since many of today’s luxury models are low-flow, you’ll also save money on your monthly water bill while doing something good for the environment.
efforts didn’t work out. A failed DIY project also costs you time, something homeowners hoping to sell their homes post-project cannot afford to waste. * Hire the right contractor. The best contractor for the job won’t necessarily be the one who comes in with the lowest estimate. The right contractor will know how long a project will take and what the materials will cost. The wrong contractor, who might lack the experience of his competitors, might make empty promises that ultimately cost you more money via overrun costs. Find a contractor who comes highly recommended and is willing to provide references and show you his or her past projects like the one you’re hiring him or her undertake. If you hire the wrong contractor, the project may never be completed and you may find yourself in court, where the money you had budgeted for home improvements is being spent on lawyers instead. * Consider supplying your own materials. If you diligently research your project, you should be able to buy the materials yourself, even if you plan on
hiring a contractor to do the work. Some contractors mark up the materials as a means of padding the bill. If you research the project and learn about the
materials you want to use, you can save a substantial amount of money buying those materials yourself and then hiring a contractor. * Don’t overlook recycled materials. Buying recycled materials is another way to reduce home improvement costs. Bathroom fixtures, doors, flooring, and lighting are just a few of the materials that are commonly recycled and resold at a fraction of the cost of new materials. Shop around for stores in your area or peruse the Internet for recycled materials. Homeowners undertaking a replacement project rather than a remodel might even be eligible for tax breaks if they donate their old materials. * Choose projects that provide
more bang for your buck. Another way to save is to choose projects that provide a strong return on your investment. The “Cost vs. Value Report” compares the cost of popular remodeling projects with the value those projects retain at resale. If money is a motivating factor behind your project, choose a project that will get you the most money back at resale. While the economy has not necessarily been kind to the home improvement industry, there are still plenty of homeowners looking to improve their homes. Savvy homeowners can do just that and save some money along the way by putting a few strategies to work for them.

Savor the Moments Fog engulfs the evergreen trees, mist fills the air, and the breeze wrestles with the leaves on the trees. Some may wake up and grumble for a rainy day; others celebrate the gift of nourishment for the crops.

Did I hear the laughter of children at the farmer’s market? Did I notice the strangers who may one day be called friend? In the busy-ness of summer, we often travel quickly from event to event instead of embracing each moment along the way. As we celebrate August, let us embrace the joys of an upstate summer and schedule time to notice the ripples in a creek, splash in a lake or sip lemonade on our porch. As you meander through life this day, allow yourself to become fully aware of all that is around you.
go of the nagging doubts that will come up? Someone asked me, how did you create your programs? I took a blank piece of paper and drew a diagram without knowing how or when I would activate the program, without knowing thousands of people would be impacted, without knowing all the details that were needed. I felt the experience in my heart, I saw faces of people that would live life in a new way, and I welcomed the fear and then said good bye to it. I woke up to the vision in my heart and I invite you to join me in your daily life to fully embrace the
Summertime for me is an opportunity to meet new young leaders who have a vision for our future. As they come to Leaders for Life International programs, they awake to the potential that lies within them. They transform their thoughts from limiting beliefs to an empowered focus. As I train college students to guide our youth, I capture their aliveness, their view that one person can change the world. They really believe it and they live as if it is true. Do you?

Understanding protein’s role in your diet essential amino acids. These Fitness afficionados have grown increasingly reliant on protein to supplement their workouts. Protein can help in the building of lean muscle and, when eaten after a workout, can help aid in muscle recovery. While protein is a valuable component of a healthy diet, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that many adults already get enough protein to meet their needs. That’s because protein can be found in so many different types of foods, including meat, poultry, fish, dry beans and peas; eggs, nuts and seeds; and milk and milk products. Some vegetables and fruits even provide some protein, though it’s far less than other foods. When examining protein as part of a person’s diet, the sources of protein are labeled according to how many essential amino acids they provide. Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot make on its own, so a person’s diet must provide them.
sources are often referred to as high quality proteins. Animalbased foods such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and cheese are
considered complete protein sources. An incomplete protein source is one that’s low in one or more of the essential amino acids. However, two or more incomplete protein sources can be combined to meet the body’s needs for essential amino acids. Though it was once believed that these complementary protein sources must be eaten during the same meal, more recent studies have shown they are just as effective as long as they’re consumed within the same day.

I invite women to join me at a Dream Big weekend September 7-9 at Minnowbrook Conference Center, Blue Mountain Lake, women supporting the dreams of other women! I invite companies to consider providing programs for their employees to discover strategies for living with possibility instead of consumed stress. I invite schools to notice that our young people are all leaders, it just looks different and by providing them with oppor-
tunities to see who they really can be, they begin to take action to be part of the solution. Wherever you are right now, pause and notice. Are you here or are you in your mind with ideas swirling about next steps or are you in your heart worrying about something out of your control? Just take a moment and say “be here now” and breathe deeply and notice…experience what is around you, sense the presence of your loved ones, and savor the moment for it will never be repeated.

Mindfulness and Eating By Susan Romeo, MS, RN Mindfulness is an old word with new meaning. MerriamWebster defines the word mindful as, “inclined to be aware,” such as being mindful of the time when arriving for a meeting. As time has passed, common usage of the word mindfulnesshas evolved to mean the quality of being fully “in the moment.” Mindfulness was once an exclusively Eastern Buddhist practice. Thankfully the concept has come west.

It is true, there is all that brown and dried out grass this year. But oddly enough the native wild grasses
Waiting for the customary hop-hop-hop-pause of a hunting robin, I was not disappointed. Before long, one had dug up a long worm. Instead of immediately swallowing it, the robin stood there with the worm hanging from its beak for a long while. I wonder what a robin’s process is when “sitting down to a meal.” Without warning it flew away.

How to improve your home’s curb appeal Men and women who have tried to sell a home are likely familiar with the phrase “curb appeal.” Curb appeal is similar to getting ready for a big date, only you’re not dressing yourself up to make a strong first impression. Instead, improving curb appeal involves dressing your home up in the hopes it makes a strong first impression on prospective buyers, many of whom will have a strong opinion about the property before they even get out of their cars to have a look around.
lawn, preventing kids from riding their bicycles onto the lawn or cars from driving onto it. Adding edging is not a very difficult doit-yourself project.
A home with strong curb appeal can entice buyers who are likely to believe that a home with a well-maintained exterior is likely to have an equally impressive interior. Homeowners who want the process of selling their home to go smoothly can improve the property’s curb appeal in a number of ways, many of which don’t necessitate a substantial home improvement budget.
* Clean the gutters. Leaves and sticks hanging from the gutters are a red flag to buyers, who tend to associate clogged gutters with roof damage. Clean the gutters thoroughly before putting your home up for sale and keep them clean throughout the selling process. If your property includes lots of trees, install guards to keep twigs and leaves out of the gutters.
* Clean up. The most effective way to improve curb appeal is to clean up the property. Many homeowners are savvy enough to remove toys and other items from the yard before showing a home, but cleaning up goes beyond removing clutter from the property. Make sure all hedges are trimmed and remove weeds, sticks and other debris from any flower beds. Lay mulch in the flower beds and garden, as mulch prevents weed growth while helping the soil retain moisture, resulting in more attractive gardens to catch a buyer’s eye. * Get an “edge” on other sellers. Edging is another easy and effective way to improve curb appeal. Edge driveways, sidewalks and other walkways around the property, removing or trimming anything that is hanging over the driveway or walkways. If the boundary between your driveway and lawn is not distinct, consider installing edging materials such as stone or bricks. The edging can be level with the driveway or elevated, but keep in mind that elevated driveway edging can protect the
* Take to the trees. Many homeowners grow accustomed to overgrown trees around their property and may not notice that low-hanging, unsightly branches are hiding the home from view. Buyers want to see the house, so take to the trees and trim any branches that hang too low or obscure your home.
* Make the home accessible through the front door. Many homeowners enter their home through a side door or through their garage. If you fall into this category, keep in mind that prospective buyers will be entering through the front door, so make this area accessible. Clear any clutter, such as overgrown hedges, away from the front door, and consider upgrading the door handle to a more modern feature. In addition, make sure the lock on the front door doesn’t stick, forcing the realtor and buyers to immediately struggle before entering the home. You want buyers and their real estate agents to get in and out of the home as smoothly as possible. * Make sure all plants, including flowers, are living. Dehydrated or dead plants and flowers are eyesores, and they will give buyers the impression that you didn’t pay much attention to your property. Make sure

all plants are alive and thriving and replace those that aren’t. You can replant new flowers or plants or just use potted plants instead. When purchasing new plants, choose low-maintenance varieties that appeal to buyers who want good vibrant plants but might not want to put in much work into the garden. When selling a home, homeowners can employ a number of tactics to improve their home’s curb appeal.

Fabric & Fashion Briefs Caramelized Sugar Stains WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
HOW CAN IT BE
Brown or yellow stains appear on a garment after it has been cleaned and pressed or after having been in storage for a time.
PREVENTED?
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE? The stains may be yellow, tan, or brown depending on their age and on the substance causing the stain. WHAT CAUSED IT? These stains are caused by spills from juices, beer, soft drinks, or any beverage containing sugar. These stains are not visible at first but remain in the fabric if the are not flushed out with water. Dry cleaning usually will not remove the sugars because they are soluble in water rather than dry cleaning solvent. The heat of deodorizing and finishing, or storage in a warm closet, turns these stains yellow or brownish in color.
The dry cleaner could flush the stain out with water, but since these stains are invisible at first, the customer must show them where the substance has spilled. Moreover, the cleaner can be successful only if the stain is not too old. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? The person who spilled the beverage or who failed to point it out to the dry cleaner in time. IS THERE A REMEDY? Once these stains become visible, the usually cannot be removed from silk, wool, and sometimes nylon. In other fabrics, bleaching may lighten them enough so that they are not noticeable.

Though spring cleaning might have the name recognition, many homeowners spend just as much time cleaning their homes in the fall as they do in the spring. Spring might be the season for clearing out the clutter, but fall is when homeowners prepare their homes for the long winter months ahead. End-ofsummer cleaning is essential for homeowners who want to ensure their homes are not only cozy and comfortable, but healthy as well. The following are a few tips homeowners can employ to ensure their home is a welcoming and healthy respite from the winter cold. * Clean seasonal items before storing them away. When summer has ended, homeowners must place all the items reminiscent of summer, including the grill, patio furniture and lawn and garden equipment, in storage. Spray Nine(R) Cleaner & Disinfectant can quickly remove a season’s worth of dirt and grease, ensuring those seasonal items are ready to go when spring makes its triumphant and long-awaited return. * Get a head start on fighting the flu. Perhaps no winter foe is more formidable than the flu, which can find its way into a home, spreading rapidly among residents, especially if a home has not been adequately cleaned. Spray Nine Cleaner & Disinfectant kills viruses and bacteria in as little as 30 seconds, including the Influenza A2 Virus, Salmonella Choleraesuis, E. coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. Oftentimes, viruses such as the
flu are spread when an infected resident touches an item in the home and then that item isn’t cleaned, enabling the virus or bacteria to spread to others. Spray Nine also makes a Spray Nine Lemon Scented MultiPurpose Cleaner & Disinfectant, which can handle the same tough cleaning, disinfecting and stain removing task that Spray Nine is famous for, but also deodorizes with a pleasant lemon scent. * Clean out the garage. Cleaning the garage might seem like a project that’s tailor made for spring cleaning, but it’s actually more advantageous to clean the garage in the fall. A garage that’s clear of clutter can be used to safeguard a vehicle from those inevitable winter snowstorms while saving homeowners the hassle of digging their car out of all that ice and snow. What’s more, cleaning the garage at the end of summer creates more room for lawn chairs and other seasonal items that must be stored away before the arrival of winter. * Address mold and mildew ahead of time. Winter can trap moisture inside a home, creating an environment that is ideal for the growth of mold and mildew. Mold spores can grow inside a home and compromise the health of a home’s residents, while mildew’s strong odor can make the indoors very unpleasant. As summer ends, homeowners can use Spray Nine Cleaner & Disinfectant to kill the fungus that creates mold and mildew. The product also has a “fungicidal mildewstat” formulation, which helps prevent regrowth of

mold and ensures the home is odor-free in the months ahead. Homeowners can use it to treat garbage cans, basements and rooms where pets spend ample time to ensure that the odor doesn’t overtake the home when the windows are closed for the season. * Don’t forget the fireplace. While fireplaces are largely ignored during the summer months, there’s nothing quite like gathering around the
fireplace with family and friends once winter weather has arrived. But before burning the season’s first fire, be sure to remove any potential safety hazards that might have accumulated near the fireplace, such as old newspapers or magazines, dur-

These devices come pre-loaded with maps that work with satellites in space. The GPS receiver figures out the distance to each and uses this information to deduce the location of the device in a process called trilateration. GPS devices have made paper maps obsolete for many people. While GPS devices can be very convenient, especially on road trips, there are some tips to keep in mind.
