Warning Lights Send Messages You Can’t Ignore

(NAPS)—Safety on the road is no accident. For example, when a warning light illuminates on a car’s dashboard, it is alerting you to a situation that requires your attention. While not all warning lights are a sign that disaster is imminent, no warning indicator should ever be ignored. That’s the word from the experts at AAA, who encourage motorists to read their owner’s manual and know what each of the warning lights in their vehicle means. To help, they offer the following tips: Oil Pressure Light The oil pressure light is usually an oilcan symbol or the word “OIL.” It comes on when there is a drop in engine oil pressure. Of all the warning lights, the oil pressure light indicates the greatest potential for serious mechanical damage. If the oil pressure warning light comes on and stays on, pull off the road at the earliest safe opportunity, shut off the engine and call for assistance. Engine Temperature Light The engine temperature light is usually a thermometer symbol or the word “TEMP.” It comes on when the engine temperature is unsafe for your vehicle. Unless the engine temperature is quickly brought under control, major damage may occur. If there are any signs of a cooling system leak, pull off the road at the earliest safe opportunity, shut off the engine and call for assistance.

Be careful when opening the hood in the presence of steam, and never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Charging System Light The charging system light is usually a battery symbol or the word “ALT” or “GEN.” It comes on when the vehicle electrical system is no longer being supplied power by the alternator. If this light comes on, shut down all unnecessary electrical loads such as the radio, heater or airconditioning, then drive the vehicle to a repair facility immediately for further inspection. Check Engine Light The check engine light comes on when there is a problem affecting the vehicle’s exhaust emissions. If the light comes on and stays on, make an appointment with an auto repair shop to have the problem checked in the near future. However, if the check engine light begins flashing repeatedly, the catalytic converter is over-heating. Should this occur, drive the vehicle to a repair shop immediately for further diagnosis. Disregarding a flashing check engine light could start a fire, destroy the catalytic converter and result in necessary repairs that could easily exceed $1,000. To learn more, visit www.AAA.com or call (800) AAA-HELP. To locate an AAA Approved Auto Repair shop, visit www.AAA. com/repair.

Don’t Get Soaked By A Flood-Damaged Car

Check the trunk, glove compartment and below the seats for signs of water damage, such as mud or rust.

Car Facts... (NAPSA)-Premium automotive products such as Royal Purple synthetic oils are formulated with unique advanced additive technology that can improve the performance of the vehicle and allow for longer intervals between changes. Learn more at www.fueleconomy.gov and www.royalpurple.com.

(NAPS)—Recently, a number of extreme storms and hurricanes left thousands of cars in the surrounding areas damaged by floodwaters. Unfortunately, it’s common for many of these flood-damaged cars to end up back on the road every year. But by doing a little homework, you can avoid buying a car that is rotting from the inside out. To help, here are some tips: • Check the trunk, glove compartment and below the seats for signs of water damage, such as mud or rust. • Flex the wires beneath the dashboard. Wet wires will become brittle upon drying and may crack. • Take a deep breath and smell for musty odors from mildew. • Ask to see a vehicle history report. For example, Carfax Reports can reveal many hidden problems, including if a vehicle has reported flood damage. To learn more, visit www.carfax.com.

Halloween: Simple Tricks For Spooky Treats

(NAPS)—You and your friends and family will have much more than the ghost of a chance at a happy Halloween with a little planning and a pair of deliciously spooky treats. To help, Jennifer Sbranti, lifestyle expert and party-planner extraordinaire, shares two of her simple tips for impressing the goblins at your Halloween get-together: • Make treats a day ahead of time so you can attend to last-minute details the day of the party. • Let your kids join in on the fun—the final product doesn’t have to grace the cover of a magazine and a few extra hands are always helpful. Halloween Scotcheroo Treats Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 10 minutes Cool time: 45 minutes Yield: 24 treats, approximately 1 cup Karo® Light OR Dark Corn Syrup 1 cup sugar 1 cup creamy peanut butter 6 cups crispy rice cereal 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips 1½ cups butterscotch chips Candies for decorating

Frosting OR melted white chocolate for decorating Cook corn syrup and sugar together in a large pan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Bring mixture to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in peanut butter; mix well. Add cereal; stir until evenly coated. Pour into greased 15 x 10-inch pan and pat into place. Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips together in saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Spread over cereal. Cool at least 45 minutes, or until firm. Cut into bars or fun shapes for Halloween. To make Cute Cats, cut circles using a 2- to 3-inch biscuit cutter. Attach candies with a dab of melted white chocolate or frosting to make eyes, nose and ears. Pipe on whiskers with frosting. Caramel Corn Gift Bag Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 45 minutes Yield: 4 quarts 4 quarts popped popcorn 1 cup brown sugar 1⁄2 cup Karo® Light OR Dark Corn Syrup 1⁄2 cup butter OR margarine 1⁄2 teaspoon salt 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract Treat bags OR bowls Halloween candies, nuts, dried fruits, etc. Spray a large shallow roasting pan with cooking spray. Add popcorn and place in preheated 250° F oven while preparing caramel. Mix brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt in a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil 5 minutes WITHOUT STIRRING. Remove from heat. Stir in baking soda and vanilla. Pour syrup mixture over warm popcorn, stirring to coat evenly. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven and spread on foil that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Cool; break apart. Store in tightly covered container. To serve, set out small bowls of your favorite candies, nuts or fruits and let your guests individualize their own Halloween treat.

Expert Tips To Help Make Family Mealtimes Simple

(NAPS)—Gathering together as a family for dinner can be a great idea, research shows. Just 20 minutes a night can positively affect children’s development and behavior. “Shared mealtimes can help reduce behavior problems, eating disorders and drug use in children and teens,” says Dr. Barbara Fiese, professor and director of the Family Resiliency Center at the University of Illinois. “But some families find it difficult to eat together on a daily basis,” she adds. To help, the Family Resiliency Center and the Pampered Chef, the largest direct seller of kitchen tools, developed the following tips to make mealtimes easier: • Try something new. Picky eaters can be a struggle at the dinner table. It can take children up to 10 times to accept a new food, but parents often get frustrated and give up after less than three times. Parents can set the example by trying new foods themselves. A hearty main-dish soup such as Chicken Parmesan can be easy • Institute a no-screen rule. Turn off phones, tablets, laptops and televisions and inexpensive to make with the right tools and attitude. when eating together.

How To Choose The Right Smartphone (NAPS)—Smartphones make us “smarter” but how smart are we about the smartphone selection process? More and more people—from soccer moms to hardcore gamers—know they want a smartphone but don’t know how to find the right one. The good news is that doing your homework before you buy can help you find the smartphone that best meets your needs. Here is the threestep process to help you make the right mobile device purchase. 1. Find the One That Fits Start with the obvious. You should like the size of the mobile device and how it feels in your hand. Chances are, no matter its features, if you are not physically comfortable using the mobile device, you won’t be happy. 2. Find Your User Profile Before you walk into the store, take a deep breath and identify your profile based on how you will be using the phone and the features you really want and need. Following are a few profiles to get you started— feel free to mix and match: No Frills, Please: You want a phone that lets you talk, text and check your e-mail. Apps, bells and whistles will only confuse things and clutter your phone. Smart and Social: You like to be connected and want a phone that will help you take social networking to the next level. You also like sharing and comparing the latest eyepopping tricks and features on your smartphone with your friends. Gaming Guru: You want a phone that lets you get your game on—and that means one with the capacity for rich graphics and streaming video. Multitasking Maven: You go through life 100 miles per hour and you need a smartphone that can keep up with you. From easy-to-read touch screens to GPS apps, you are looking for a partner to help you multitask on the run without having to recharge. The good news is that whatever your profile, chances are you can find a phone that matches it. 3. Look for a Smartphone with a Strong Heart! Processors are the “heart” of a mobile device and literally bring it to life. Not all processors are created equal. Just like our human hearts,

Grill-Roasted Turkey: A Tasty Twist On Tradition

(NAPS)—If you want a traditional, perfectly carved, Thanksgiving turkey but would like to bring a delicious twist to the meal, then look to chef, cookbook author and James Beard–award nominee Kathy Gunst. She has discovered a way to bring the tradition of the Thanksgiving turkey to the holiday table in an unconventional way. Every Thanksgiving, Kathy Gunst roasts a turkey in the oven, but one year she had a larger crowd than usual and needed to cook two turkeys. “So, on a colder-than-normal November day, I decided to grill-roast a second turkey,” says Gunst. “The recipe, it turns out, couldn’t be simpler.” Grilling the bird resulted in a picture-perfect glazed turkey with juicy meat and a subtle smokey flavor. “This recipe is nothing short of a revelation. You will not believe how a plain old turkey, simply seasoned with salt and pepper, placed on a hot grill, can have this much flavor with so little fuss,” says Gunst. Grilled Turkey 1 10–12 pound turkey Cleaned and dried. Salt and freshly ground black pepper, seasoned to taste. Heat a fire in the grill (charcoal or gas) and cook a small (10 to 12 pound) whole turkey over indirect heat with a minimum of seasoning. Be sure to place a shallow pan underneath the bird atop the charcoal or burner covers to catch the drippings and reduce flare-ups. Grill for approximately 2 hours (use thermometer to check for doneness). Stuff the bird and/or add an array of vegetables to the grill, like stuffed squash, corn on the cob, or turnips and potatoes for a complete meal. Add your vegetables to the grill 30 minutes or so before the turkey is done. Once the meat is cooked and cooled the bird is ready for

carving. “I can’t overestimate how important it is to have a good, sharp knife for carving the bird. It should be very tender and carve easily, but a well-sharpened favorite carving knife will make things that much easier,” says Gunst. Chef’sChoice® Turkey Carving Tips: Three Easy Steps If you want the turkey you serve “gobbled up” this holiday, avoid hacking the bird by trying these simple carving tips from Chef’sChoice®: • Step 1 Be sure to use a good, sharp knife. Sharp knives are not only safer, they will help you to smoothly cut thin, even slices without shredding the meat. Fortunately, you don’t have to be an expert to put a razor sharp edge on your knife. Chef’sChoice M130 sharpener professionally sharpens steels and strops all brands and types of knives. Precision guides eliminate guesswork for sharp, durable edges. For help finding a sharpener that’s right for you, call (800) 342-3255 or visit www. chefschoice.com. • Step 2 After the turkey is cooked (meat thermometer should read 180° F when inserted in the thickest part of the turkey thigh) cool the bird for 15 minutes. Cooling makes the meat firmer and easier to slice. Remove and set aside the turkey legs and the last joint of each wing. Make a long, deep (to the bone) horizontal “base cut” into the breast just above the wing. • Step 3 Slice down vertically through the breast until you meet the original base cut. This will release perfect, even slices. Following these preparation and carving tips can help make your Thanksgiving a meal to remember.

Banana Bread Gets A Tasty Power Boost

(NAPS)—When thoughts turn to baking and the holiday season, classic banana bread can get a scrumptious new look and nutrition power boost with the addition of sweet, fiber-rich figs and yummy chocolate morsels. Looking for an after-school snack for the kids, a morning treat to enjoy with coffee or the perfect holiday hostess gift? Chocolate Fig Banana Bread delivers on all counts. Freeze loaves whole or cut into slices and wrap individually in plastic wrap to grab out of the freezer for everyday use. Although it’s likely to be rare, if there are leftovers, Chocolate Fig Banana Bread can be used to transform bread pudding, French toast and layered ice cream parfaits into decadent holiday dishes to delight friends and family. Use dark purple Mission Figs or Golden Figs; both work equally well in the recipe and add the same power boost of sweet fruit flavor, fiber and potassium. Keep California Dried Figs on hand for a quick energy-rich snack and sweet addition to salads, side dishes and cereals. For more recipes, baking tips, figs and fig products, go to the Valley Fig Growers website, www.valleyfig.com.

Chocolate Fig Banana Bread 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 ⁄2 teaspoon baking soda 1 ⁄4 teaspoon salt 11⁄2 cups mashed, very ripe bananas (about 4) 2 large eggs 1 ⁄2 cup vegetable oil 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup stemmed, chopped (1⁄2inch) Blue Ribbon Orchard Choice or Sun-Maid Mission or Calimyrna Figs 1 ⁄2 cup miniature chocolate morsels Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350˚ F. Oil 9-x-5-inch loaf pan. In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together bananas, eggs, oil and vanilla. Whisk liquids into dry ingredients, mixing just until blended. Stir in figs and chocolate. Scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake 60 to 70 minutes (cover with foil after about 30 minutes to prevent overbrowning) or until pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan. Run sharp knife around edge of pan and remove bread from pan to wire rack to cool. Wrap airtight and store at room temperature or freeze. Makes 1 loaf.

Winning Ideas For Your Tailgating Season

(NAPS)—For many, football season means tailgating and that’s no accident. Fans have enjoyed the two of them together, literally since the beginning. It’s believed the first documented tailgating event took place in 1869 during a football game between Princeton University and Rutgers University—the first collegiate football game on record. Although tailgating has come a long way since then, the practice still centers on one key element—sharing food with friends before the “big event”—whether that’s a game, a concert or even another party. Doing it Your Way Everybody has his or her favorite tailgate traditions. For some, tailgating is all about grilling. Others prefer the picnic approach, with appetizers, sandwiches and salads. Regardless of your preference, it’s easy to make your tailgates special this football season. To help, here are some tips from a family-owned company best known for its line of bread products made from their Original Hawaiian Sweet recipe—King’s Hawaiian. The Fun Is in the Bun For many, tailgating is all about the thrill of the grill. However, whether you are featuring hot dogs or hamburgers, it’s important to remember that a lot depends on having the right bun. Whether you are someone who likes to dress your dog with just a spot of mustard or ketchup or you prefer to go all the way on your burger, topping it with tomato, avocado, onion and pickle, never underestimate the importance of the bun. The key is to find a bun designed to keep all your favorite toppings and flavors together in every bite. For example, Original Hawaiian Sweet Hamburger Buns are made to deliver a uniquely soft and fluffy texture with just the right touch of sweetness. These hamburger buns are ideally sized for your signature backyard burger, and perfect for the classic “savory and sweet” combination everyone loves.

For the hot dog–lovers at your tailgate, the Hot Dog Buns offer a signature “top-cut” design to keep all your favorite toppings and flavors together in every bite, and are perfect for either hot dogs or grilled sausages. To make things even easier, there are recipes to please every tailgater on the King’s Hawaiian website, including the Maui Burger: Maui onion, pineapple rings, and a red pepper spice between Original Hawaiian Sweet Sandwich Buns or Hamburger Buns. Maui Burger Serves: 1 Ingredients 1 King’s Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Sandwich Bun or Hamburger Bun 1 (8-oz.) Angus hamburger Spicy aioli (recipe below) Your favorite teriyaki sauce 1 slice American cheese 2 oz. thinly sliced Maui or Vidalia onion 2 slices tomato 1 slice pineapple 1 leaf lettuce Pickles and olives to garnish Preparation 1. Place hamburger patty on grill to desired doneness. 2. Toast sandwich bun or hamburger bun on grill. 3. Toast pineapple slice on grill. 4. To assemble burger, spread spicy aioli on each slice of roll; between buns, place hamburger, which has been brushed with teriyaki sauce, then add cheese, tomato slices, lettuce, pineapple and onion. 5. Serve with pickles and olives. Spicy Aioli 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise ¼ tsp. chili powder, cayenne pepper or shichimi togarashi (Japanese red pepper condiment, available in Asian grocery stores) For more family-favorite recipes, visit the website at www. kingshawaiian.com/recipes or call (877) 695-4227.

How Green Is Your Insulation?

(NAPSI)—Many homeowners are looking to boost their energy efficiency and reduce bills by adding insulation. Not all insulation, however, is created equal. What Makes Insulation Sustainable?

A sustainable insulation not only performs well but is manufactured responsibly. It will reduce your overall carbon footprint with efficient manufacturing and shipping, such as reducing water and energy use at the plant and using special packaging to transport more product in fewer loads. It has limited environmental effect over its life span and has very low or no emissions of volatile organic compounds-an important component of a healthy home. It should also consist of renewable and recycled content, which puts materials to good use instead of being landfilled. Most importantly, insulation should contribute to a cozy, efficient home. You can reduce your impact on the environment by choosing products such as CertainTeed’s Sustainable Insulation. This fiberglass insulation saves

12 times the energy the first year as the energy used to produce it and will continue to save energy for the lifetime of a home. With its GREENGUARD Children & Schools certification, this highly efficient insulation helps assure families of healthier indoor air quality.

The Legendary “Man In Black” Is Back In A New Documentary (NAPS)—One of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, Johnny Cash, known as “The Man in Black,” would have been 80 years old this year. Although a country music icon, Cash’s music spanned blues, folk, rock ’n’ roll and gospel, adding to his tremendous multigenerational appeal. His humble farm-boy roots, his rebellious nature and his early, public battles with drugs and alcohol only added to Cash’s celebrity. His widespread and enduring popularity, evidenced by inductions into the Country Music Hall of Fame (1980), the Gospel Music Hall of Fame (2010) and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1995), also made Cash one of the only artists to sell over 90 million records. Signing with Sun Studios in 1954, Cash wrote and recorded songs that expressed his passion for life and compassion for others, as well as his rebelliousness and spirituality. This is especially true of Cash’s signature songs, including “I Walk the Line,” which shot to No. 1 on Billboard’s chart in 1955 and stayed on the charts for an incredible 43 weeks, selling over 2 million copies. Soon, Cash had performed at the Grand Ole Opry and was touring up to 300 nights a year, supported by an impressive string of hit songs. He also appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” “The Tonight Show” and other popular TV programs. But success took its toll and by the early 1960s Cash’s first marriage was collapsing and his grueling tour schedule had eased him into drug addiction. Recorded in 1963, “Ring of Fire,” a song co-written by Cash’s new love interest, June Carter, would become the biggest hit of his career, staying at No. 1 on the charts for seven weeks. Carter would play a pivotal role in helping Cash to overcome his addictions. In 1967, Cash and Carter ironically recorded “Jackson,” a duet about a married couple whose relationship had lost its “fire.” The song reached No. 2 on the country

Mix And Match (NAPS)—Dressing your kids for school this year may be easier if you mix and match—and mix in some global influences. Here are a few tips to help make school shopping a snap: • Think layers. Short-sleeve T-shirts are not just for summer. In winter, you can wear them under a solid long-sleeve tee. • Shop online—it’s easier. • Buy clothes with similar color themes that can be mixed and matched. For example, Tea Collection’s sets are a great deal—buy five pieces and get six complete outfits. • Brighten your kids’ war­d­robes with global trends. Each season, Tea Collection designers visit a different destination and draw inspiration from its culture. The Fall 2012 Back to School line for kids is influenced by Nordic design and travels to Scandinavia. For more information, visit www. teacollection.com or call (866) 374-8747.

charts and, after the couple wed in 1968, they picked up a Grammy for Best Country & Western Performance, Duet, Trio or Group. In 1970, Cash’s recording of Kris Kristofferson’s “Sunday Morning Coming Down” hit No. 1 on the country charts and earned the Country Music Association Award for Song of the Year. Over the next 30 years, Cash would continue to have numerous hit songs, including his 1985 single, “Highwayman,” which he recorded as part of The Highwaymen, a group formed with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kris Kristofferson. In 2002, Cash recorded a cover of the Nine Inch Nails song “Hurt,” which won an MTV Award and a Grammy and earned Cash three more CMA awards in 2003. Cash’s extraordinary life, as well as his impact on such artists as Kris Kristofferson, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Grace Potter, Shooter Jennings, Chris Isaak, John Carter Cash, Josh Thompson, Yelawolf and Justin Townes Earle, will be explored when Ovation premieres “Song by Song: Johnny Cash,” an original six-part series that remembers the legendary singer/songwriter through his most popular songs.

This Autumn’s Designer Must-Haves For Less (NAPS)—When the weather forecast predicts cooler temperatures, the fashion forecast features lots of color in rich hues, bold graphics and textured prints. This season’s selection of on-trend looks incorporates some of the warmest colors including spiced orange, burgundy, red orange and golden yellows in addition to cool shades of teal, jade green, marine and gray. Want to look your best this season in colorful designer pieces for less? Buyers from T.J.Maxx and Marshalls scoured the globe for fashionable items you want now. Here are the top stylish trends that T.J.Maxx and Marshalls have identified this season: Ladylike with an Edge: Look for pieces cut with classic feminine details yet with a modern twist. Try a retro-Hollywood glam look such as a jewel-tone peplum dress from T.J.Maxx paired with color-block platform heels from Marshalls. And indulge in fall’s luxe landscape with rich fabrics and dimensional details. Mix textures—don’t shy away from leather details on pieces like pencil skirts or tailored blazers, layered textiles like lace and studs on this season’s hottest handbags—and work in some fabulous faux fur into your outfit. For an even edgier twist, opt for metallic brocade-patterned pants with a feminine sheer blouse. Animal Print: Fashion will also take a walk on the wild side this season with bold leopard, zebra and giraffelike prints, some even detailed with leather trim and textured fabric or studs. Take one of this season’s most popular shoes—the smoking shoe—made with black-and-white zebra print as a simple way to elevate any outfit. An animal-print wraparound scarf will not only protect you from the chill, it also pairs well with neutrals for an effortless look. For an evening look, choose a

blue-and-black python clutch. Navajo: Strong and graphic prints, inspired by American folk art and the modern-day artisan, are due to make a big impression. Think vintage and free-spirited ethnic prints. Pair autumn warm-tone printed denim from T.J.Maxx and a

lightweight top with suede crocheted booties from Marshalls for the ultimate on-trend look. The most stylish way to transition the season is with an Aztec-inspired wool cape. To complete the look, consider jewelry with mixed metals or a two-toned, braided belt. If you want to make your summer outfits last, layering is key. Transition a summer maxi dress into fall with a chunky sweater and boots or wear a blazer over your favorite floral top with skinny jeans and oxfords.

Making The Most Of Boomer Volunteers

(NAPS)—While the number of older volunteers who want to contribute their time and talent is increasing, not all organizations are prepared to take advantage of this growing resource. Often, organizations need to take a fresh look at what this new generation of baby boomer volunteers can contribute. That may mean reconsidering the types of volunteer opportunities they offer, so they can make the most of the mentoring and work experiences these boomers bring. Fortunately, the Aging Network’s Volunteer Collaborative is designed to help agencies prepare for the influx of boomers and to take full advantage of the volunteers they have. The Collaborative is a full-ser-

(NAPS)—Secure and conve­nient online access to your Social Security earnings and benefit information is available due in part to fraud prevention services that help the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA). The SSA uses Experian fraud prevention services to securely authenticate and safeguard the identities of consumers who now have online access to their Social Security earnings and benefit information through the SSA’s new online Social Security Statement. The Statement is simple and easy to use and provides people with estimates that can help them plan for retirement. The online Statement also provides estimates for disability and survivors benefits, making it an important financial planning tool. In addition to helping with financial planning, the online Statement offers a conve­ nient way to determine whether your earnings are accurately posted to your Social Security records.

To get a personalized online Statement, people age 18 and older must be able to provide information about themselves that matches information already on file with Social Security. Then, Social Security uses Precise ID , Experian’s fraud detection and prevention platform, to securely authenticate and further verify the person’s identity. Once verified, the person can create a “My Social Security” account with a unique user name and password to access his or her online Statement. To get your Social Security Statement online, go to www. socialsecurity.gov/mystatement. SM

(NAPSA)-It’s a smart idea to keep a jar or two of maraschino cherries on hand because these tasty fruits are an easy way to add color, flavor and fun to many desserts, snacks and appetizers. For recipes, tips and more information, visit www.national cherries.com. Peanut butter is a good source of protein, vitamin E, magnesium and niacin. It’s recommended to choose a natural variety with no hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. Smart Balance® Rich Roast peanut butters are a good choice.

Making Your Family At Home—In A New Home

Tips On Protecting Your Financial Information

(NAPS)—By partnering with financial institutions—such as banks, credit unions and credit card companies—and taking a few easy steps, you can help to protect yourself from fraud. Guard personal and financial information: Take extra measures to protect your Social Security number. That means not sharing it unnecessarily, not using it as your password and not carrying information with you that contains the number. You should also avoid sharing personal details that are often used to access financial accounts—such as your birth date, home address and mother’s maiden name. Monitor your accounts: Remember to review account activity regularly, especially during the holiday shopping season, when you may be spending more than usual. By monitoring your accounts online—at your bank and credit card websites—and setting up account alerts that can be sent via e-mail or mobile device, you can spot suspicious activity early. Notify your financial institution immediately of any unknown or suspicious transactions. Go paperless: Fraudulent activity can result from mail and garbage theft, so consider switching to online statements. Online bank statements look and function just like paper statements—you can use them for record keeping and taxes. When possible, replace paper invoices, statements and checks with electronic versions if your employer, bank, utility provider or merchant offers them. If you have to keep some paper statements, be sure to shred them before discarding, and always shred documents that contain personally identifiable information, such as Social Security numbers.

Recognize fraudulent communications: Fraudsters use a variety of methods to obtain your information: Phishing is when fraudsters send an e-mail that appears to come from a reputable company with links to spoof websites requesting your personal

and account information. Vishing is a phishing attempt made through a telephone call or voice message, and smishing is a phishing attempt sent via SMS (Short Message Service) or text message to a mobile phone or device. Never share personal or financial information through unfamiliar e-mails, websites, social media networks, text messages or phone calls. Ensure you’re protected: Check with your financial institution to learn if you’re covered if funds are removed from your account without your permission. For example, Wells Fargo’s Online Security Guarantee provides added protection against unauthorized access to your accounts. Visit Wells Fargo’s Fraud Information Center at www. wellsfargo.com/privacy_security/ fraud for more tips on how to protect yourself.

Investing In America

(NAPS)—There is a growing trend among consumers across America toward seeking out locally designed and produced products. Investing in American products is easier than you might think, especially when it comes to quality. Hunter Douglas window fashions for your home, for example, are designed and manufactured in America and exported to 38 countries on six continents. Why buy American products? Here are a few answers: • Stimulates Job Growth: Every dollar spent on American products helps support American jobs. • American Standards: Local products are marked with a special brand of American excellence, efficiency and service. • Giving Back: U.S.-based companies that manufacture products throughout the country are well-positioned to give back to their local communities.

Prepaid Cards Offer Families A Financial Solution

(NAPS)—Millions of Americans nationwide prefer the anywhere, anytime convenience of a prepaid card for money transactions versus a traditional bank checking account. Payroll deposits, tax refunds, Social Security and other government benefits, as well as cash, can be received on a prepaid card. Consumers store their money, shop online, make purchases at stores and restaurants anywhere, withdraw cash and pay bills electronically, and have access to millions of ATMs worldwide…all without the fear of being overdrawn and without a bank credit check. Prepaid cards are commonly referred to as prepaid credit cards but function more like a debit card than a credit card. Credit cards extend a line of credit to cardholders, whereas prepaid card users can only spend what they deposit to their card account, which can be done automatically by payroll direct deposit or at any number of retail stores providing money transfer services such as MoneyGram. Many people say it helps them to control their spending and stick to a budget. The Center for Financial Services Innovation (CFSI) studied

the features and benefits offered by prepaid card companies. The study looked at how consumers use prepaid cards and whether the cards help financially underserved consumers manage their money. Reloadable prepaid cards function like electronic bank accounts without checks. Consumers load funds on the card and can spend only what they load, limiting the risk of overdraft while providing immediate liquidity. Transaction costs are low and many providers are adding features, including bill payment, money transfer, savings wallets and other new services. The CFSI study found that such cards have the potential to enhance families’ financial well-being. Consumers gave several reasons for liking their cards: Convenience: Cardholders do not have to run to different places to cash a check, buy money orders and then deliver payments. Apparently, the feds find them convenient, too. After March 1, 2013, Social Security, veterans and other federal benefits will all be paid either by direct deposit to a bank account or to a reloadable prepaid card. Accessibility: Branded cards (with Visa, MasterCard, Discover or American Express logos) are accepted universally. Simplicity and transparency: The fee structures of prepaid cards are easy to understand. Value: Most customers felt the costs associated with prepaid are lower than what they would incur if they used a check-cashing service or checking account. Built-in discipline: Prepaid cards provide much of the ease of a checking account with a major advantage—they cannot be overdrawn. No credit check is required. For more information, visit www. accountnow.com or go call (866) 398-3306 to get a card.

Reduce The Threat Of West Nile Virus Deaths at New High and Climbing

• Eco-Friendly: American companies are consistently renewing efforts to promote environmentally responsible manufacturing. Also, their goods require less transportation than imported ones, which cuts back on carbon emissions.

Save your Money with Us!

(NAPS)—Late summer and early fall are when West Nile–infected mosquitoes are most active, and they will surely add to the more than 2,000 cases and increasing number of deaths already reported. There is one simple step you can take to greatly reduce your risk of contracting this often-fatal disease: Eliminate all standing water on your property. According to the Centers for Disease Control, this is essential. Empty any pots, barrels and containers at least weekly. Since the CDC advises that gutters are usually the leading source of standing water,

you may want to consider replacing your gutters with Rainhandler, a system for handling roof runoff that eliminates standing water. It’s a set of seven aluminum louvers that take the roof runoff and convert it to gentle rain-sized drops, which are spread in a swath three feet wide away from your home. It requires no cleaning or maintenance and there is no ground erosion. Rainhandler has a one-year, money-back guarantee and a 25-year warranty. To learn more, visit www. rainhandler.com or call 800-9423004.

(NAPS)—Most families choose to make a major household move during the summer months. In fact, nearly 40 million Americans move every year, with the majority of those moves occurring between May and August. But others may be faced with the challenge of moving as the season closes, after school has started. Heeding a few tips from the experts can smooth the transition for unlucky fall movers and help school-aged children easily adapt.

First, host a small gathering with neighbors about two weeks after moving in. The time distances you from the initial stress of moving, yet no one expects everything to be unpacked. Plus, inviting other children to your house makes it less awkward for your child to make new friends. If they’re young, give them moving boxes to play with and serve snacks on paper napkins. Keep it simple, fun and short. Odds are your child will be invited to one of their homes to reciprocate soon after and you’ll have started the ball rolling. Barbara Miller, an interior designer for kids, recommends making a child’s room look and feel as much like the old room as possible. “In general, moving is stressful. I like to make the new room look and feel as much like the old room as possible,” says Miller. “You can even paint the walls the same color. Color is a strong sensory trigger and can either comfort or agitate children.” Older children and teens may want to redecorate their room as part of the excitement of moving. Even in these instances, Miller suggests that you keep some elements unchanged. “How the bed is situated in relation to the bedside table, clock and light—things that would be routine—should remain the same,” says Miller. “It’s these little things that no one thinks about until 10 p.m. when children are in tears because they’re tired and don’t know where to turn off the light.” Lastly, schedule your high-speed Internet, digital cable TV and phone connection in advance of the move in a single step at www.cablemover. com. Like most movers, having online access to the nearest carryout options and being able to watch TV shows and play online games on the first day in a new home is critical. Of course, that means you get the time you need to hunt for the missing sheets and coffeepot.

Creating A Backyard Spa Retreat

(NAPS)—The cooler months of fall and winter are a great time to turn your outdoor living space into

a mini spa retreat. Soaking away the stresses of the day can have many mental and physical benefits. To help, here are some tips for enjoying your backyard spa and keeping maintenance simple: • Make your spa a place of refuge and peace. Twinkling candles around the perimeter can set the mood for romance or quiet solitude. Use sturdy pillars, container candles, votives or flameless LED candles. Or string strands of twinkle lights along the fencing and watch the light dance on the water’s surface. • Use your digital player or computer to fill the area with your favorite music. • Surround the spa with pots of fragrant flowers, such as lavender, phlox and roses. • Try aromatherapy available in bottles or pillow packs infused with numerous aromas. Each aroma is said to offer specific benefits. For example, apple is thought to release feelings of love and wisdom, while honeysuckle is said to sharpen intuition and bring prosperity.

• Simple stretching exercises, combined with the warm water, can relax muscles tensed by the day’s stress. • Host a “Girls’ Night In” spa party. Offer herbal-scented skin oils for after-spa application; a tray of steamed, soft washcloths wrapped around sprigs of rosemary for soothing eye packs; and hot-wax treatments for hands and feet. • For a soft, soothing spa environment, try a brominefree, chlorine-free sanitizer like SpaGuard’s Soft Soak. • Have a stack of warm towels nearby to make leaving the spa a little easier. • Hang decorative pegs for robes and use a wood deck box to hold towels and keep slippers dry. • Preventing problems before they occur can keep your spa sparkling clear so you can enjoy it all season long. Test water regularly and use an EPA-registered sanitizer to protect bathers. • Proper water circulation is important. Run the circulation system every day. • Clean the filter every four to six weeks. • To preserve surfaces and prevent dirt buildup, you can use Off The Wall Surface Cleaner and Spa Guard Cleaning Mitts. Both are designed to work specifically with spa water chemistry. • Regular draining and refilling is also an important part of spa maintenance. How often you drain and refill your spa depends on how often you use it. Experts advise you to go by this equation: spa gallons ÷ daily bathers ÷ 3 = days between draining. You can learn more at www. spaguard.com and (800) 932-5943.

Sweet Deeds For Your Community

(NAPS)—Every now and then, we all could use a helping hand. The simplest gesture from a friend or even a stranger can help boost morale and add a silver lining to an ordinary day. Applying that same principle and finding simple ways to support your community through a good deed can make a lasting difference. Here are some ways you can celebrate the spirit of helping others and get involved in your community. For example: •Grow some good: Put gardening skills to good use by getting involved with a local tree-planting initiative or an urban garden. Trees, plants and gardens not only beautify the areas where they’re planted, they provide oxygen, homes for animals and even fresh herbs or vegetables.

•Pay your fashion forward: Transform clutter into charity by donating lightly used clothing or shoes from your closet. A number of programs provide business attire to people interviewing for jobs as a way to help workers get back on

their feet. Additionally, thrift stores often sell secondhand clothing as a way to raise funds for other programs and nonprofits. •Share your knowledge: Use your aptitude for reading, writing, math or science to support the next generation of students in their education. Volunteer at a local tutoring center to help children struggling in school. •Do a good deed each day: Keep your eyes open for the opportunity to open a door for a stranger, mow the lawn for a neighbor or bring a meal to a family with a new baby. Finally, don’t forget to take a moment and celebrate the good deeds done by your friends. One way to recognize the efforts of others is to become a member of the Sweet Deed Society on the Santa Cruz Organic® Facebook page and nominate a friend who has done a good deed. Participants will also be entered into a grand-prize drawing for a chance to win weekly and grand prizes, including one of two home computer upgrades, awarded as a $2,000 check. To help acknowledge their good deed, nominees can also accept their nomination, join the Sweet Deed Society and be entered for their own chance to win.

Helping To Protect “America’s Backyard”

(NAPS)—From Alaska to Flo­ r­ ida, millions of people visit America’s National Forests each year, and with two-thirds of Americans living within 100 miles of a National Forest, these lands truly are “America’s Backyard.” However, due to damage from wildfire, insects, disease and natural disasters, nearly one-third of the 193 million acres of the National Forest System urgently need restoration. To maintain and strengthen these vital natural resources, the National Forest Foundation (NFF) has launched a national conservation campaign called Treasured Landscapes to build support for America’s National Forests from coast to coast. Treasured Landscapes The NFF’s Treasured Landscapes campaign has a goal of raising $100 million. The money raised will be used to take on largescale restoration projects at 14 ecologically significant and iconic locations while supporting hundreds of community-based conservation efforts at national forests and grasslands across the country. The campaign offers multiple opportunities for individuals and

families to get involved in the enjoyment and restoration of “America’s Backyard” by lending support, volunteering time or just signing up to follow campaign updates.

The campaign targets America’s National Forest System, which: • includes 155 national forests and 20 national grasslands in 44 states; • hosts more than 200 million visitors annually; and • creates a positive economic impact on surrounding communities, including 223,000 jobs. The Foundation works to replant wildfire-burned areas,

restore streams and fish habitat, and improve trails to improve the health and vitality of our public lands. Challenges To Public Lands “Our nation’s public lands face unprecedented challenges to their health, diversity and vitality,” said Bill Possiel, president of the NFF. “The health of America’s National Forest System contributes to everyone’s quality of life—from the millions who rely on drinking water from the National Forests to the clean air that the forests produce.” To learn more and become a Friend of the Forest, visit the website at www.friendsoftheforest.org. “Friends” receive updates and communications, with photos and stories about our National Forests and Grasslands as well as opportunities to take part in handson volunteer projects restoring popular forest areas. You can stay connected by following the Foundation on Facebook at www.facebook. com/ NationalForestFoundation, on Twitter at www.twitter.com/ nationalforests and on YouTube at www.youtube.com/natlforests.

Take The 26/81 Challenge

Advice on Exercise Goals & Techniques

(NAPS)—If you have a daily exercise regimen in place, you’re already off to a great start. If not, consider taking the 26/81 Challenge. Get active for 26 minutes a day for 81 days. That’s what Mike Ehredt is encouraging us all to do. The 26/81 Challenge had small beginnings—the concept started at Mike’s local fitness club in Hope, Idaho. But the buzz is catching on. Whether it’s walking your dog around the neighborhood, taking a class at the gym or hiking the trails, take the challenge and start living an active life. An Inspiring Example Mike Ehredt, age 51, is taking the 26/81 Challenge to the extreme by continuing his journey of running more than a marathon a day—around 26 miles each day—for 81 days. He runs to honor fallen U.S. Military service members of the Afghanistan War for his Project America Run II. Ehredt’s running odyssey began at the Canadian border just north of International Falls, Minnesota on August 23rd, and continues all the way to Texas, at the Gulf of Mexico. He will plant a flag bearing the name, age, rank and hometown of each fallen U.S. Military member at every mile of his journey. “There is no statement to be made,” says Ehredt. “No political message, just a personal tribute and a gift of thanks to those who have served our country.” How He Does It From his long athletic career to his work as a personal trainer, this Army veteran and retired postal employee has learned that big dreams are achievable by setting goals, training, and taking care of your body. In addition to practicing good hydration, proper nutrition and getting plenty of sleep, Ehredt will use a number of Hyland’s products—including Arnica 30x and Bioplasma Sport for replenishment and recovery and Leg Cramps to ease symptoms—during his long journey across the states. These all-natural homeopathic products can be useful remedies as you train and set goals to boost physical stamina. They are effective solutions for aches and pains without the side effects that can come with stronger medicines. These statements are based on traditional homeopathic practice. They have not been reviewed by the Food and Drug Administration. Learn More For more information on these products, visit www.hylands.com.

You Can Add Flair And Function To Your Rental

(NAPS)—There’s good news for people who rent. With a little creative thinking and some innovative products, rental properties can be warm, welcoming, workable and wonderful. Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your space.

Be Colorful Many renters are stuck with neutral walls due to harsh paint restrictions, so build your color palette with furniture and accessories. Bright slipcovers transform living room furniture into statement pieces that pop against white walls. Patterned accent pillows, fresh flowers and colorful accessories add even more depth to your design. Create an Entryway In an apartment or small home, full-sized foyer closets are a rarity. By placing a ClosetMaid® 3-Cube Bench near your front door, you can create your own stylish “drop zone” for keys, shoes and bags. Try adding wall hooks above the bench for jackets, and use a tall pot or basket for umbrella storage. Scale Back

Tips On Feeling Safe And Secure At Home

When a Realtor shows a rental property, he or she often stages it with small furniture to make it look larger. Try this trick when designing your space. Choose small slim pieces as opposed to heavy oversized furniture to create the illusion of more space and use glass tables, which let light pass through them. Customize Closets One of the most frustrating things about renting can be the lack of storage space. Many rental property closets only offer a single hang rod and shelf. To organize closets without installing permanent shelving, try ­ClosetMaid Stackable Storage products. These freestanding units can be stacked to add drawers, shelves and shoe storage and are easily taken with you when you move.

Score Energy Savings With Silicone Caulk

(NAPS)—Cold weather means it’s time for two activities: fantasy football and home maintenance. This year, manage your home improvement projects—like sealing gaps and cracks—the same way you manage your fantasy football team. How? Add top picks like silicone caulk to your home weatherization product lineup and ignore poor performers like acrylic caulk. Acrylic caulk may get you the first down, providing savings for the present, but silicone caulk is the lasting solution that scores energy savings season after season. Block Air Leaks Gaps and cracks around the home lead to air leaks that can blitz your wallet and cause energy bills to soar. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, you could save up to 10 percent on energy bills by simply air sealing your home. Look for gaps and cracks in all susceptible areas—windows, doors, siding, trim, molding, baseboards, vents, around wires/pipes, attics and basements. A silicone caulk like GE Silicone II Window & Door is an all-pro defensive blocker for sealing these areas because it is permanently waterproof and weatherproof, meaning it will never break down and sacks air leaks before they rush your home. Acrylic caulk, on the other hand, succumbs to a punishing ground game. It can degrade over Kwikset Home Connect can protect time when exposed to harsh weather your home by integrating a home and freezing temperatures, leaving automation system to monitor who gaps for air and water to seep enters and exits your home from your through and energy to escape.

Metropolitan Life Insur(NAPS)—If you are like most homeowners, you know that few things are as satisfying as the sense of security that comes from being in your own home. For many, that’s a feeling that comes from being able to close the door, turn the key and relax, knowing the dangers of the world are locked away. A recent survey found that 70 percent of American homeowners say having deadbolt locks on their entry doors makes them feel safe and secure when at home. The survey also revealed that 44 percent of respondents feel that having more than one deadbolt lock on their entry doors makes them feel safe and secure when at home. Kwikset, the leader in smart, simple security, conducted the Harris Interactive survey to learn more about what makes Americans feel safe in their homes. Tips to Feel Safe and Secure at Home To help you and your family feel safer in your home, here are five simple safety tips from the experts at Kwikset: 1. Not all locks are created equal. Make sure you have quality locks. For maximum safety, choose high-security locks. For example, look for locks that feature BumpGuard technology, such as the Kwikset SmartKey Deadbolt, which protects against drilling and picking. 2. Light it up! Illuminate your home, inside and out. A timer or solar-powered light on the front, back and side of a house makes it more difficult for burglars to hide and gives the impression that someone is home. Install a lamp or TV timer when away so it appears someone is inside after dark. 3. Mow your lawn already! Overgrown grass is a sure sign that no one is home. Don’t give the impression that your house has been left vacant for an extended period of time.

4. Don’t brag about your vacation. Think twice before posting upcoming trips on Facebook or Twitter. According to a study out of the United Kingdom from Credit Sesame, approximately 78 percent of ex-burglars use Twitter, Foursquare and Facebook to single out empty homes. A good way to counter the technology used by the bad guys is to upgrade your own equipment. Using wireless technology like

flexibility. Silicone caulk can stretch and compress without cracking, and fills the crack just as it did when first applied to keep air leaks from returning.

Silicone is shrink-proof, impervious to all weather conditions and won’t be benched with costly cracks. Acrylic caulk, however, fumbles home protection in the presence of tough opponents. It can lose flexibility in freezing temperatures and crack over time. Extreme heat and the sun’s UV rays can also cause some acrylic caulk to dry out, crack and crumble. This can lead to gaps and cracks around your home that let energy out and water and snow in, resulting in water damage, mold growth and higher energy bills. Silicone is the player that will help you score lasting energy savings. Poor-performing acrylic caulk can leave you with a losing season. Add silicone caulk to your team now.

Fall Fashion Forecast From Leading Celeb Colorist

(NAPS)—When it comes to hair color trends, the theme for fall and winter is out with the old and in with a more natural hue. That’s the word from expert hair colorist Rita Hazan, who believes the changing season is the right time to move on from the bright, bold colors of spring/summer 2012 to warm, rich shades of brown, blond and red. She says that’s because natural and beautiful single-tone colors will help you make a striking and sexy appearance this season. Over the past 15 years, Hazan has become recognized for setting beauty trends and helping to invent fresh new looks for her celebrity clients. She has created signature colors for such A-list talent as Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry, Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez, just to name a few. Rita Hazan’s clients often ask her how to keep their hair color looking fresh and vibrant in between salon visits. Here are a few suggestions: • Apply a deep conditioner a few days before coloring. • Avoid harsh shampoos. Always opt for products designed for color-treated hair. • To maintain and prolong hair color vibrancy, use a hair gloss in between color treatments. For example, Hazan’s new Foaming Color Glosses are designed to function like lip gloss for the hair by putting shine plus a hint of tint back into your hair and keeping it healthy, silky and smooth. Winner of the “Best At-Home Hair Color Treatment” at the 2012 Women’s Health Beauty Awards, the product works best if it’s used starting right after you have your color done. Hazan recommends that following your color appointment and beginning with your first shampoo, use her Foaming Color Gloss in the shower to prolong the life of your color and maintain lustrous locks until your next appointment. The glosses work by boosting hair tone, protecting the color, and adding shine and hydration. And you don’t need to go to a salon to use it. Just apply the product in the shower after shampooing. An application only takes three minutes. Available in three formulas—Enhances Golden Tones, Tones Down Brassiness and Ultimate Shine—the product helps protect color from fading or brassiness and helps develop warmth and richness in your color tone. Gentle and lightweight, the formula is ammonia, sulfate and paraben free and it is safe to use on keratin-treated hair or Brazilian blowouts. To learn more, visit www.RitaHazan. com or call (212) 586-4343.

Tips On Taming A Computer For More Speed, Less Trouble (NAPS)—Most people depend on personal computers for so much in daily life and when the computer seems sluggish, unresponsive or just generally underperforming, it can lead to frustration. Fortunately, if your computer is misbehaving, there are five simple steps you can take to help get it back up to speed. 1. Defrag Your Disk. Computer hard drives get fragmented when programs are installed and uninstalled and files are added and removed. The files end up scattered around the hard drive so it’s difficult for the drive to find everything you want in a timely manner. The built-in disk defragment tool can keep your computer running efficiently. 2. Stay Healthy. Just like humans, when a computer has a virus or is infected with spyware, it becomes sluggish and performance suffers. Keep your antivirus program up to date and fight off cyber attackers. Run a full system scan every three to six months. Install an antispyware program, too. 3. Don’t Be a Digital Hoarder. Whenever you install software updates, download images, save music files, edit documents or browse the Web, your computer accumulates files and programs, most of which are unnecessary. Use the built-in uninstaller to remove those unneeded files. 4. Blow it Out. Over time, the inside of your computer will accumulate a “blanket” of dust, which may result in a temperature rise inside your computer case. Open your computer case and blow out the dust using a canister of compressed air. Be sure to blow air through all fans in order to thoroughly clean them. 5. Upgrade Your Memory. Many computer performance issues can be resolved with a do-it-yourself (RAM)

memory upgrade. Anytime you open your e-mail, surf the Web, watch a video, type a paper, play a game or just plain turn on your computer, the computer is using its internal memory. When a computer does not have enough internal memory to properly run its programs, it becomes slow and unresponsive. Installing computer memory is a fairly simple process that requires no special tools or skills. However, finding the correct upgrade can sometimes be confusing as there are hundreds of thousands of options to choose from. Crucial.com makes finding and installing the correct memory upgrade simple with free, easy-to-use online tools designed to help you quickly find a compatible memory upgrade. Using the Crucial Memory Advisor™ tool, you choose your computer make and model from a drop-down menu to see recommended memory upgrade options. Or, use the Crucial® System Scanner tool to automatically scan the computer to determine the current memory and view recommended compatible upgrades. Visit www.crucial.com for more tips and information on getting your computer back up to speed!

Getting The Most Out Of Online Class Experience

(NAPS)—Whether you’re a first-time college student or well into a degree program, chances are you have considered taking an online class. You’re not alone. According to Pew Research Center, more than three-quarters of college presidents say that their institutions offer classes online and an estimated half of all those who graduated college in the last 10 years say that they have taken an online class. Online classes offer flexibility and access to rigorous academic programs for students whose schedules make it difficult to be in the physical classroom. So how can you make the most of your online learning experience? It comes down to personal commitment, said Nicole Cabrere, Ed.D., senior vice provost for Strayer University, which offers online undergraduate and graduate courses to students worldwide. “It’s amazing what can be taught online; courses from business to writing, even biology and how to dissect frogs,” said Dr. Cabrere. “As a society, we’re adapting to rapid advancements in technology, and our education reflects that. “The key is to apply personal commitment and recognize that online programs require the same focus and discipline as

campus-based classes.” Dr. Cabrere offers three tips for making your online learning experience a success: 1. Manage your time. In addition to the time you spend reviewing course materials and preparing assignments, you may have to build in time for live online discussions, viewing taped lectures and interacting virtually with classmates. It’s important to understand the various requirements of your class and work them into your schedule. 2. Participate. “The fact that you are not in a classroom setting shouldn’t take away from your active participation,” she added. “To ‘raise your hand’ virtually, e-mail thoughtful questions to your professor regularly, participate in online chats and distribute helpful articles or other resources.” 3. Network. Get to know your classmates and professors. Hold study sessions virtually through video chat services or in person with classmates in the area. Strayer University lets students connect with each other further by hosting Facebook pages for various communities such as writers or geographic areas. Your fellow students can share insights into occupations you’re interested in. Be sure to

• Take a first aid or CPR class. • Teach children their basic personal information so they can identify themselves if they become separated from a parent/ guardian. • Plan a place where your family can meet in the event of an emergency. Educate And Inform Even with a disaster plan and preparedness kit in place, you are not fully prepared unless every family member is informed about the plan—and the potential for disasters. Once you’re aware of the type of disasters that can occur in the region where you live, find out if there’s a “season” or time of year when these events are most prevalent. For more information about Etón Corporation or the FRX Series of selfpowered safety radios, visit www.etoncorp. com.

add them to your professional network. Before enrolling, Dr. Cabrere suggests, students should become familiar with the computer and space that they will use to take their online class. “Unless you are in a highly technical program, you will need basic computer skills to navigate an online class. If you run into trouble, don’t be afraid to ask for help and raise that ‘virtual hand’ at any point.” For information about Strayer University’s online and oncampus academic programs, visit www.strayer.edu.

Tasteful Ways To Make Your Kitchen Last

Being Prepared For Mother Nature’s Extremes

(NAPS)—Whether it is a hurricane, tornado, earthquake or extended blackout, unexpected situations created by Mother Nature can happen anytime, anywhere. A recent national study found that while most Americans have experienced an emergency or severe weather situation, over half do not have an emergency kit at home and one third don’t believe they need one. To help, the preparedness experts at the Etón Corporation, a leading creator of highperformance, green-powered consumer products and the sponsor of the study, recommend a few steps you can take to better prepare for the unexpected: Make A Preparedness Kit That Contains The Following: • Bottled water and nonperishable food • Extra clothes and blankets for each family member • First aid kit • A self-powered emergency radio and flashlight combo, such as one from the Etón FRX Series. An AM/FM/NOAA radio will keep you informed, while the rechargeable battery (recharged via solar panel or hand crank) ensures you never run out of light or power. More advanced radios, such as the FRX 3, can even charge mobile devices via a USB port on the device. Create A Disaster Plan • Get together with family, friends and neighbors to discuss what disasters or emergencies could happen in the area and figure out the best plan for the community.

Save your Money with Us!

(NAPS)—According to U.S. Census Bureau reports, Americans are not moving from one home to another nearly as much as they used to. For many, that means it’s important to make sure the home they’re in—and particularly the kitchen— is built to last. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to do that. For example: • When you get down to it, a porcelain floor may sound fragile, but because these floor tiles are fired at an extremely high temperature, they’re remarkably durable, lasting for decades and impervious to water, foot traffic and other things that can floor a floor. • Take your counters for granite. These not

only look good, they’re resistant to heat and stains, very low maintenance and last for a very long time. • Consider laminate for your cabinets. Laminates are low in cost, nonporous—which is important when it comes to safe food preparation— easy to clean and available in a rainbow of colors and styles. • It’s great to be good to your grout. If your backsplash is tile, seal the grouting so it can stand up to water. • Up against the wall, it pays to put the best paint possible. The higher the quality, the longer it’s likely to last. • Be smart about the sink. It’s probably the most-used appliance in the house and often has to take a lot of abuse—but it can still be stylish. For example, you can get a stone composite sink made of a patented material that resists chips, stains, heat and the effects of everyday kitchen use and comes in seven attractive shades. Durable and reliable, it’s 80 percent granite for the look and feel of natural stone and 20 percent a patented formula that makes it even stronger than the countertop around it. Each sink comes with a lifetime warranty so you can buy with total confidence. Called Silgranit II and available from Blanco, the sink is colored all the way through, so it won’t fade, even in direct sunlight, and is resistant to food acids. The advanced surface technology means it’s nonporous, easy to clean and extremely hygienic. What The Expert Says As Susan Serra, certified kitchen designer, says, “I’ve lived with Blanco sinks for well over 20 years. I’m most impressed with Silgranit II.” Learn More You can learn more online at www. blancoamerica.com or by calling (888) 668-6201.

Take Advantage Of The Benefits Of Credit Cards And Debit Cards

(NAPS)—While consumers have become savvy when it comes to managing their money, many could take greater advantage of using either a credit card or a debit card by better understanding the benefits of each. Below are considerations to help individuals choose for themselves when the benefits of using a credit card outweigh those of using a debit card, or vice versa. Benefits of Debit Cards: • Withdraw Cash When Making Purchases—Debit cards not only allow access to cash from ATMs, but also the ability to withdraw money when making a purchase. • No Balance Due at Month’s End—Charges made using a debit card are pulled directly from a checking account and not added to a credit card balance. Some consumers like the freedom of not worrying about a balance at the end of the month and are able to better establish a monthly budget. • No Due Dates—To avoid interest charges, credit card users must pay close attention to due dates and pay off their balance. Debit cards, on the other hand, pull money from a checking account immediately, eliminating worry about when a balance will be due and any interest that could result from missing the payment due date. Benefits of Credit Cards:

• Earn Rewards on Daily Purchases—Many credit cards earn rewards. And if consumers pay off their credit card when the payment is due, no interest will accrue on

everyday purchases such as gas and groceries. • Building Credit History— Using a credit card responsibly may help to build good credit, which may make it easier to get loans and better interest rates. • Funds to Make Large or Unexpected Purchases—Whether it’s a large purchase, such as new furniture, or an unexpected expense like a last-minute home repair, credit cards offer access to spending limits typically greater than one’s checking account balance.

Australia—A Country So Unique It Has Its Own

(NAPS)—From world-class cities to natural wonders, Australia is home to stunning landscapes, immersive nature and the friendliest locals around. With a country as big as Australia and with so many travel options, most can’t wait to visit, but get overwhelmed and don’t know where to start planning. To make trip planning fun and easy, Tourism Australia has created a suite of tools, including an inspirational film found on www.Australia.com that features highlights of Australia’s top destinations and an interactive tablet app that takes you further into the stories in the film in a unique, memorable way. The innovative new tablet application “There’s nothing like Australia” is compatible with iPad and Android™ and is presented in the form of a rich interactive coffee-table book about Australia. The multimedia content takes you through journal entries about 13 “best of Australia” destinations, providing information on worldclass experiences, attractions and places to stay using striking imagery, full-screen integrated video and an itinerary planning tool. The app takes explorers through the sights, sounds and experiences of Australia. For example, on the Great Ocean Road, surf, meet kangaroos on the golf course, hike near waterfalls and get personal with a koala. Tilt your iPad back and forth to fly a helicopter over the worldfamous Twelve Apostles.

To learn about the world’s oldest culture, embark to Uluru on a voyage of self-discovery at the world’s largest monolith—an iconic symbol of the Australian outback. Experience tours with the traditional custodians of the land, the Anangu. For another look at the outback, The Kimberley is nearly the size of California, but offers a bush and coastal experience. At El Questro Wilderness Park, experience majestic waterfalls like Amaroo Falls that are still being discovered and fish and fly over the extraordinary vistas of the tiger-striped Bungle Bungles. Feel like visiting Kangaroo Island, which is known as a “zoo without fences”? Here, you can pet a baby kangaroo, meet a seal on the beach, and luxuriate at one of the world’s finest resorts, Southern Ocean Lodge. Ready to head to Australia? Download the “There’s nothing like Australia” app from the iTunes store or visit www.australia.com for more information about Australia.

Relax: It’s Good For You than half of all U.S. workers have unused vacation time, wasting an average of nearly 70 percent of their allotted time off. That may be one reason for the appeal of vacation ownership, otherwise known as timeshare: It provides a guaranteed vacation each year and helps you stay committed to taking that muchdeserved break. In fact, timeshare enjoys an owner satisfaction rate of 85 percent and an occupancy rate that outpaces hotels by nearly 20 percent, according to the American Resort Development Association. Other benefits of vacation ownership include: • No Vacation Planning Hassle. Timeshare owners know they already have an excursion planned and paid for that they will enjoy. • Consistent Vacation Experiences. One of the most common reasons for making a timeshare purchase is the desire to replicate a truly great vacation experience. After an enjoyable stay at a resort, timeshare owners want the peace of mind that comes in knowing they can count on a

similar experience year after year. • Variety When You Want It. For timeshare owners that thirst for travel adventures beyond the property they own, vacation exchange companies offer a world of possibilities. For example, RCI, the global leader in vacation exchange, offers vacation options at more than 4,000 resorts in some 100 countries. • More Space to Roam. Timeshares are typically more spacious than hotel rooms and offer many homelike amenities such as a fully equipped kitchen, dining room and living room. This can ensure plenty of space to relax and unwind and is particularly helpful for families and groups traveling together. Those considering vacation ownership can learn more at www. vacationbetter.org or can even sample the timeshare experience firsthand before they purchase by booking a stay through Endless Vacation Rentals at www.evrentals. com, which lets consumers rent available units at resorts around the world.

Bringing Treatment For Eye Wrinkles Into Focus

(NAPS)—When women worry about wrinkles, they worry about wrinkles around the eyes. That’s a key finding of a recent survey conducted by Kelton Research. According to the survey, about half of women are most worried about wrinkles around their eyes. To help, dermatologist Dr. Ava Shamban answers a few common questions about eye wrinkles.

record-breaking flood level. “We were just days from launching a museum expansion project when the flood occurred,” said Gail Naughton, president and CEO of NCSML. “So in keeping with our Czech and Slovak heritage, we moved forward instead of retreating.” The 1,500-ton (3 million-pounds) museum building, dedicated in 1995 by Presidents Michal Kováč (Slovakia), Bill Clinton (U.S.) and Václav Havel (Czech Republic), was moved 100 yards to an area several feet above the record flood level. While much of the NCSML’s fine art and folklore artifacts were saved from the devastating waters, a great deal had to be refurbished and cleaned. These refurbished NCSML artifacts can be seen in the “It All Comes Out in the Wash” display featuring beautifully embellished textiles, including the beloved kroje (folk costumes), painstakingly restored at the Chicago Conservation Center. This unique exhibition shows the vibrant colors and quality of the pieces, the largest collection of kroje outside Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The oldest pieces date to the 16th century. “We will continue to feature our collection of kroje, Royal Dux porcelain, Egermann glassware, Bohemian crystal, folk art and political posters,” Naughton said. “Our commitment to our visitors from around the world is to keep our exhibits fresh.

People who come to see them won’t want to leave. “With the generous contributions of individuals, businesses and foundations—the Czech Republic, the state of Iowa, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the city of Cedar Rapids—we have a dream come true,” Naughton added. The relocated NCSML (the only professional museum dedicated to Czech and Slovak history and culture in the world) is now three times larger, which lends itself to more exhibition galleries, an expanded research library, additional educational programming space, a new museum store and more collection storage. The revitalized museum and library opens July 14, 2012. Go to www.NCSML.org for more details about grand reopening events and specific exhibit timelines.

short pulses of microfine laser light that reach deeply into the skin’s sublayers, where wrinkles form. Then, the body’s natural healing process sweeps away older, damaged tissue and rebuilds it with fresh new collagen and elastin—something that no over-the-counter cream or lotion can achieve. Q: What’s the difference be­ tween an at-home laser and inoffice laser treatments? A: The PaloVia laser uses the same fractional laser technology that I use on my patients in my office, but it’s been adapted and FDA cleared for use at home. A laser at a dermatologist’s office is going to be more powerful, but they can both deliver similar results over time. With the at-home PaloVia laser, users are directed to treat themselves for three to four minutes a day for one month followed by twice-per-week treatments to maintain results. To learn more about the PaloVia Skin Renewing Laser, visit palovia.com. Dr. Ava Shamban is a boardcertified dermatologist with over 20 years of experience treating skin and author of “Heal Your Skin.” Learn more at www. avamd.com.

Driving Smart Can Mean Significant Savings At The Gas Pump

(NAPS)—As gas prices continue to fluctuate, it’s always a good time to evaluate your driving habits and take steps to keep yourself and your car on the road to savings at the pump. To demonstrate the 10 common mistakes that drivers make to affect fuel economy, General Motors conducted a driving test. Two of their fuel economy engineers, Ann Wenzlick and Beth Nunning, drove identical Chevrolet Cruze LTs on a typical workday commute. They each drove 20 minutes with city and highway driving, including a stop for coffee. Wenzlick averaged 37 miles per gallon using efficient driving habits and by maintaining her car and Nunning averaged 21 miles per gallon. On average, that was a $100 price difference at the pump. Here are some of their tips based on what they learned: • Get out of the drive-through lane. Idling for 15 minutes burns through about a quarter of a gallon of gas. Parking your car and going into the store to get what you want can actually help to save money on gas. • Take it easy. Jumping on the gas at every light, only to hit the brakes, isn’t going to get you home any faster. However, driving smoothly can improve your mile­ age by 20 percent. • Drive 70, not 80. It may not sound like much, but it’s likely a 10-mph difference can save you up to four miles per gallon when driving on the highway. • Use cruise control. It turns out that maintaining a constant speed over time is much more efficient than speeding up and slowing down over and over again. • Roll up the windows. At slower speeds, turning off the air-conditioning can save you a little, but on the highway, it’s better to roll up the windows. If the windows are down, the increased air pressure can slow the car and consume more energy than air-conditioning will. • Get rid of that extra stuff in the trunk of your car. Every 100 pounds of weight you carry in the car can reduce fuel economy by 2 percent. • Don’t ignore the “check engine” light. Serious engine problems can cut your fuel economy by up to 40 percent. • Try to bundle your errands. Plan ahead. An engine at operating temperature can be up to 50 percent more efficient than a cold engine. So, when possible, it’s much better to run five errands in an

afternoon than running one errand every day of the week. • Make your tires last. Properly inflated tires will improve your fuel economy and they will last longer. Also, rotate tires at manufacturerrecommended intervals. • Use the grade of motor oil recommended for your vehicle; the same goes for the octane level of gasoline. Motor oil that says “Energy Conserving” on the performance symbol of the American Petroleum Institute contains frictionreducing additives that can improve fuel economy. For most cars, the recommended gasoline is regular octane. In most cases, using a higher-than-

recommended-octane gas offers no benefit—and costs more. • Ditch the roof ornaments. At highway speeds, up to a third of your fuel is used to overcome wind resistance, so even small changes to your vehicle’s aerodynamics can have a big impact in fuel economy. • It pays to be prudent. According to Roger Clark, manager of the GM Energy Center, “With a well-maintained car, the best drivers get up to 25 percent more miles per gallon than average. When you combine a poorly maintained car with inefficient driving habits, the fuel economy of the worst drivers can be 50 percent below average.” Clark added, “The fuel economy of every vehicle is greatly affected by how you drive and how you care for your vehicle. Often, relatively small changes to your driving habits and vehicle maintenance can make the difference between being on the bottom or the top of the fuel-economy scale.” To learn more and for more tips, visit www. chevrolet.com.

Eight Hot Tips For Battery Care

(NAPS)—More automobile batteries fail in the heat than in the extreme cold, and hot-weather conditions can cause more stress on a battery than frigid temperatures. With temperatures at their annual highs, motorists can protect and care for that part of the vehicle a driver depends on most every day. Battery temperatures under the hood of an automobile can reach 175 to 200 degrees in extreme conditions, affecting the corrosion factor within the battery. The extreme heat can make the acid and the fluid inside the battery expand, which can cause it to start leaking, and that leads to battery failure in the long run. It’s important for motorists to take the necessary precaution of getting their vehicle battery checked on a regular basis, especially before taking off on family trips. As engineering and technical services manager for Interstate Batteries for more than 25 years, Gale Kimbrough is the hot-weather expert with some helpful guidelines to follow when caring for the automobile battery: 1. Wear protective eyewear, remove all jewelry and wear long sleeves to protect skin from a battery acid explosion. 2. Inspect the battery case for signs of extreme bulging, cracking or leaking. If signs are present, it’s time to replace the case. 3. Clean the connections by removing any corrosion, lead oxidation, paint or rust from the top of the battery with a scouring pad or brass brush. Make sure to brush the corrosion away from the body. 4. If the battery has removable

filler caps, open the caps and check the water level in each cell. 5. Make sure the plates are at

least half covered. This prevents sulfation and reduces the possibility of an internal battery explosion. 6. If the water level is low, add distilled water (avoid tap water) until the plates are covered. 7. Avoid overfilling, especially in hot weather, because the heat can cause the solution inside to expand and overflow. 8. Have the battery and electrical system professionally tested every three to six months, especially before heading out on a trip. In just 30 seconds, Interstate All Battery Center locations provide motorists with a free printout analysis of the vehicle battery condition.

A Healthier Burger

(NAPS)—Grilling is a rite of passage during warmer months, with hamburgers arguably being Americans’ favorite food to grill. However, hamburgers are often high in calories and fat. How do you make this American staple healthier? Try seafood, which is low in fat and calories and filled with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Because of seafood’s many benefits, the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends people should eat at least 8 ounces a week. Substituting seafood, such as tuna, for the protein a recipe calls for is an easy way to make any meal healthier. Try this great-tasting and healthy hamburger alternative.
