New Home Fashion Favorite: Show Your Metal (NAPS)—An increasing number of Americans are taking a shine to the look of metal for their home furnishings.

Here’s why: According to a Pew Research Center analysis of census data, most millennials (adults ages 18 to 32) are still not setting out on their own. Only about 34 percent head up their own households. When today’s young people finally do settle down, they want a home that glows. Helping them get there in an affordable way is the “mixing metallic” trend recently identified by House Beautiful magazine.

For example, a striking new revamped line of aluminum blinds from Hunter Douglas reflects today’s current, on-trend styles and unique textures and patterns.

Green And Gold Aside from its elegance, this collection, Modern Precious Metals®, is constructed from 95 percent recycled aluminum, making it environmentally friendly. It also achieved GREENGUARD Gold certification, meaning it has met their strict standards for indoor air quality.

Design Options Reflecting style, confidence and a mark of originality, these metal blinds can enhance any

room’s decor. There are a multitude of colors and new finishes to suit rooms ranging from urban to rustic to transitional to elegant. They’re built to be sturdy yet lightweight for easy lifting, and they have slats that feature a spring-tempered alloy for added resiliency.

The new finishes include Icon™, a crackled finish with an elegantly defined luster, and Marble, which has neutral colors and a distinctive pattern reflecting the depth and beauty of real marble. They join the sophisticated, understated classic Matte finish; the shimmery Metallic; Brushed, warm neutrals with a brushed effect; the soft, elegant beauty of Pearlescent; and Riverstone™, earthy and natural with a subdued stone texture.

Experts Say Fall Is the Time to Plant Perennials (NAPS)—Perennial plants are a gardener’s dream: They add color to borders and beds, and are relatively easy to maintain.

Perennials can also be used to add fragrance and texture to gardens, as well as attract beneficial wildlife such as butterflies and hummingbirds. Planting perennials in the fall is like making a long-term investment—one that pays dividends the next year.

Herbaceous perennials are plants that die back to the ground in cold weather but resume growing in spring. This feature offers gardeners a wide selection of plant sizes, flower colors and forms, and seasons of bloom to choose from.

Expert Advice Explains flower specialist Venelin Dimitrov, “Fall is the ideal time to plant perennials because the cold winter months that follow are very important for dormancy. Many beautiful plants from temperate climates must experience a period of low winter temperature to initiate and accelerate flowering, which is known as vernalization. This process establishes the plant, so it starts growing earlier the next spring and produces brighter and bolder colors.”

Dimitrov suggests that for most gardeners, border perennials are probably most useful in a mixed border, interplanted with low-growing shrubs that may or may not lose their foliage in winter. Mixed borders allow woody plants to add structure, height, texture and yearlong interest to the garden.

Make A Plan When determining which perennials to use, it’s important to consider the overall size of a garden, the amount of sun it gets, and the climate.

To create continuity of interest, choose plants that bloom at different times during a season. Height is an important factor.

Dimitrov suggests using taller plants at the back of a border or bed, with the lowest perennials at the front. In shade-challenged beds, consider using drought-tolerant plants, or those with low water requirements.

For a dynamic sweep of color every spring, plant snowdrop, crocus, tulip and daffodil bulbs when the ground has cooled sufficiently.

Add edible interest by planting perennial fruits such as blackberries, raspberries and strawberries. Garlic is also easy to grow, richly flavored and will keep up to 10 months after harvest.

Free, Helpful App To make it easier to plant in specific garden regions, W. Atlee Burpee & Co. created a free Garden Time planning app. To download the app, access helpful how-to articles and videos, and order perennial plants, visit www.burpee.com or call (800) 888-1447.

Keep Warm, Keep Safe (NAPS)—As autumn approaches, many people are looking forward to a break from the summer heat. However, soon that relief may turn chilly and your reliance on heating equipment will increase. The Electrical Safety Foundation International wants you to be aware of the risks associated with heating equipment and follow a few simple steps to help reduce your risk of a home fire.

According to a report by the National Fire Protection Association, heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fire deaths, responsible for an estimated 490 in 2010. The leading factors contributing to ignition in home heating equipment fires were failure to clean the device, the heat source being too close to combustibles, and a mechanical failure or malfunction of the equipment. With proper installation, use and maintenance, you can reduce your risk of property loss, injury or death resulting from the use of heating equipment.

With the increased use of heating equipment, carbon monoxide incidents are also more frequent in colder months.

Gas-fueled heating devices were the primary heating source responsible for nonfire carbon monoxide poisonings.

Carbon monoxide is odorless, invisible and potentially deadly. Be sure to continue testing your carbon monoxide alarms and smoke alarms each month to help keep yourself and your loved ones safe.

More Safe Heating Behaviors • All heaters need space. Keep things that can burn at least three feet away from heating equipment.

• Make sure you use only equipment that displays a label indicating it has undergone independent testing by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Intertek (ETL), or the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

• Have a qualified professional install heating equipment according to the local codes and manufacturer’s instructions.

• Make sure all fuel-burning equipment is vented to the outside to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Also, be sure to remove snow or fallen leaves around the outlet to the outside to ensure proper venting of exhaust.

• Have your heating equipment and chimneys cleaned and inspected annually by a qualified professional.

Tools And Tricks To Tackle Tough, Cold Weather Yard Work (NAPS)—The steps you take now to clean up your yard and put it to bed for the next few months can set the tone for a more productive spring.

Helpful Hints Try these tips for an easier and greener yard cleanup: • Remove dead leaves and continue to trim and mow your lawn. Trimming grass at a slightly lower level and raking up fallen leaves prevent matting under debris and snow.

• Ready your lawn for next year. Prevent weeds by seeding bare patches, but give seed enough time to establish itself before really cold weather sets in. Now can also be the right time to fertilize to give your lawn the nutrients it’ll need to thrive next spring.

• Trim dead or diseased limbs. Storm-damaged or lifeless branches can endanger your home and property.

Protect trees and shrubs from further damage by using a chain saw to cut cracked, broken, loose or diseased limbs close to the trunk or nearest branch. A cordless pole saw is another option to safely trim high branches without a ladder.

• Trim those hedges. Trimming hedges can help them keep their shape until they go dormant. Trim hedge sides at a slight angle, with the widest part close to ground level and tapering slightly at the tip. This provides maximum sunlight and reduces heavy hedges in the event of storms and wind damage.

• Prepare your tools. Clean, sharp and quality tools make it easier to tackle tough yard tasks. Clean caked dirt and debris from shovels and rakes and sharpen chain saws, pole saws and hedge trimmers. Consider new tools that make yard work easier. For example, there’s a new wave of lithium-ion battery–powered tools that make tackling yard work easier than ever. Homeowners no longer have to sacrifice power and convenience with new cordless tools, such as OREGON’s 40V MAX Cordless Tool Systems. They have all the performance of gas-powered tools, minus the hassles, and, because there’s no fuel to spill or toxic emissions, battery-powered tools are the environmentally friendly landscaping choice.

November/December, 2014 Tips To Help You Personalize Your Kitchen

(NAPS)—If your family is like most, it’s not like any other, and your kitchen shouldn’t be either. Every family has its own distinct requirements for the kitchen. Fortunately, a few simple steps can help you personalize your cooking and cleaning space to make it work best for you.

Some ideas to personalize your kitchen workspace: • While a monochrome look can be sophisticated and serene, a few pops of color in curtains, cushions, door and drawer pulls can set it off and point it up.

• Use your kitchen to show off your style. If you collect saltshakers, say, display them on open or glass-fronted shelves. Display your grandmother’s famous pie recipe in a frame.

• It’s a bright idea to look to the lighting. There should be task lighting, accent lighting to highlight a special feature, and general overhead light. Try a bright spotlight in the kitchen over the sink or stove.

• Let that light shine on a sink you’ve customized to meet your needs. The Blanco One collection offers three sinks and five innovative accessory kits that combine to create unique personalized solutions for cooking, cleaning and organizing.

Start with the sink bowl. The Blanco One base is available in three model sizes to match your needs—XL Single, Super Single and Medium bowls. The 9”-deep bowls are easy to clean and created from high-quality stainless steel with Blanco’s signature Satin Polished Finish.

If you want to keep knives out of reach of your kids, if you want a cutting board that lets you clean, cut and save space, or if you live in a small space and you don’t have counter space to both clean and prep, there’s a Blanco One accessory just for you.

The Magnetic Sink Caddy holds cleaning tools inside the sink; the Workstation holds knives and utensils; an Ash Compound Cutting Board fits to the sink to save space; protective Custom Grids and a Multi-Level Grid serve as an additional rack above the base grid to protect the sink.

To make shopping easy, there are five convenient Blanco One A Branch of First Neodesha Bank accessory kits.

1.

Organized—The space-saving caddy holds www.fnb-ks.com cleaning tools and sponge while the grid protects the sink.

2.

Safety—The handy workstation keeps sharp knives location inside Wal-Mart clean and out of harm’s way and the grid protects the sink.

3.

Prep—The incredibly thin and durable cutting board fits to the sink to save counter space and is paired with the caddy.

4.

Culinary—Create a personal prep station with the cutting board and convenient utensil workstation.

5.

Multi-Level— Exclusively for the largest bowl, this two-grid system offers a higher rack for prep and protective base.

With the right tools, it’s easy to personalize your kitchen and make it work best for you. To learn more and see the complete See Travis Warstler or Melissa Morris Blanco One sink collection, go to for all your banking needs. www.blancoamerica.com.

Business Tips to Save Money During the Holidays and Beyond (NAPS)—Last holiday season, customers spent $46.5 billion in online shopping, according to analysts at comScore. To make the most of this season, business owners need to maximize their shipping operations. Here are a few tips on how to do that: Know Your Options Holiday shipping success depends on finding the right shipping mix for your business. Weigh your options and find the carriers that work for you.

For example, if you print postage online, the U.S. Postal Service now offers lower pricing for Priority Mail, making it an affordable option for heavier packages.

If your business ships 50 packages a day (weighing between 5 and 10 lbs.) from San Francisco to Seattle, it can save $16,531 over a two-month period with Priority Mail, in comparison to FedEx and UPS Ground.

Remember Shipping Deadlines Each carrier has its own year-end holiday schedule for pickup and delivery of packages. Keeping these schedules handy ensures a greater customer experience.

The U.S. Postal Service’s Priority Mail can be good for last-minute shoppers shipping domestically because packages typically arrive in one to three business days.

Bulletproof Your Returns Solutions Finding a seamless process for returns is critical to retaining customers beyond the holidays. According to a recent survey by Endicia, which offers online postage and shipping solutions, 89 percent of shoppers say they will shop again following a positive returns experience.

Endicia’s Pay-on-Use Returns service can be an easy and affordable way to give customers that experience.

With Pay-on-Use Returns, businesses can include a domestic USPS return label in their outbound shipments or provide one on-demand via email. Postage for the label is paid only if and when a return shipping label is used. That means businesses won’t have a large outlay of money in pre-paid labels during the holiday season.

“It’s important for online businesses to be prepared for the holiday season,” said Endicia CTO and co-founder Harry Whitehouse. “Getting the right shipping strategy in place early on will make a difference in a company’s bottom line and its overall success.”

Playing It Safe In The Play Area (NAPS)—Keeping the play area safe for your offspring to run around and have fun in can be easier if you heed a few hints: 1. Once your little one starts to stand, he or she will likely try just about every piece of furniture for support, so check that each piece is sturdy and stable and won’t tip over onto your child. You may want to attach the furniture to the wall.

2. Make sure there’s enough storage space.

Toys on the floor can be a hazard, so encourage your kids to clean up. That can be easier with lots of low, open storage bins, baskets and shelves so there’s little need to reach or climb. Just remember, the furniture should have smooth surfaces and rounded corners. If you use a toy chest, reinforce the hinges so the lid will stay open in any position, and won’t slam shut on a little hand. Make sure the hinges can’t pinch children, either. In addition, remove any locks and drill a few air holes just in case a child does get trapped inside.

3. When you get down to it, children love to play on the floor, so make sure it’s easy to keep clean and soft enough when kids fall down. Non-slip rugs on top of resilient or wood flooring can be a nice option.

4. Stop shock risk. Use outlet plates and covers to keep plug sockets safe from probing fingers. Be sure the covers can’t be easily removed and are too large to become choking hazards if they are pried out by toddlers. When replacing receptacles, get the tamper-resistant kind.

5. Childproof the windows. Use window stops that will let the window open no more than four inches and install window guards so children can’t fall out.

Just be sure adults and older children can open them easily in case of fire. Never depend on screens to keep children safe. Open windows from the top whenever possible and don’t put furniture the kids can climb on close to any windows.

6. Replace older window coverings with today’s safer products to avoid the potential dangers posed to young children by window treatments with cords.

Alternatively, you can obtain free retrofit kits from the Window Covering Safety Council at www. windowcoverings.org to make older products safer.

Window covering safety is a top priority for Hunter Douglas. The window treatment company offers a wide variety of product operating systems that eliminate lift cords or substantially reduce access to them.

November/December, 2014 Seven Steps Toward A Greener, Cleaner Bathroom

(NAPS)—When people think of ways to live green and save energy in their homes, the bathroom may not be the first place that comes to mind. However, Carter Oosterhouse, home and design expert, proves there are several simple ways you can make a big difference in one of the most trafficked rooms in your home.

1. Save Water with Every Flush. Put a small plastic juice bottle or laundry soap bottle in your toilet tank.

First, soak off the label, fill the bottle with water, replace the cap and place it in the tank. Because the bottle is in the toilet tank, less water is needed to fill the tank and therefore less water will be flushed. Be careful that the bottle doesn’t interfere with the flushing mechanism, and with five minutes work, you can save on or two gallons per flush.

2. Purchase Green Products. You can swap your traditional toilet paper for Scott Naturals® Tube-Free bath tissue and toss the tube. There’s no cardboard core so it has major potential to reduce a portion of the 17 billion toilet paper tubes thrown away each year in the U.S., enough to fill the Empire State Building twice.

3. Reduce Waste. Use bathroom necessities with less packaging such as bar soaps, which are friendlier to the environment (and your budget). The carbon footprint of liquid soaps is about 25 percent larger than that of bar soaps. Liquid soaps also require more energy for packaging production and disposal.

4. Clean the Air. Bathrooms are one of the most humid rooms in the house. Excess humidity can cause mold, which can spur allergies, asthma and other breathing troubles. Use nontoxic cleaning solutions to remove mold, such as household ingredients (baking soda and vinegar) or other natural cleaners. Help prevent mold by better ventilating the bathroom which removes the moisture that mold needs to grow.

5. Install a Tankless Water Heater. With a tankless water heater, you only heat the water that you use, which saves energy and money. Gas water heaters give off an average of 58 percent fewer carbon emissions than electric ones.

6. Save Energy. Compact fluorescent bulbs use about 75 percent less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last 10 to 25 times longer.

Energy-efficient bulbs can also save you money on electricity.

7. Conserve Water. Aerators on faucets and showerheads use half the water with twice the power.

If everyone used one, aerators could save 250 million gallons of water a year.

Main • Grove, OK (918) 786-9888 New Life For Flea Market Finds (NAPS)—Restore, refinish, repurpose: The R’s have it when it comes to decorating your home. You can give used furniture new life with some imagination and a little bit of elbow grease. From turning a discarded door into a stately headboard to making a coffee table out of a wooden pallet, the possibilities are endless when you do it yourself.

Your local flea market, or even your own attic, is a great place to start. Keep an open mind during your search for the perfect piece, and remember that even the dingiest furniture can be easily transformed with the right tools.

To help, wood finishing expert Bruce Johnson offers these tips: • Check the wood for excessive dryness or splintering. A light sanding and dust removal will prepare the piece for refinishing.

• For beautiful results in a short amount of time, choose a one-step product such as PolyShades—it’s a rich stain color and clear protective finish, all in one. It can be used on bare wood or over an existing polyurethane finish.

• Using this product, as with all stains, let the first coat dry completely before applying additional coats.

• For quick and easy touch-ups of nicks and scratches, use Minwax Stain Markers in a color that matches your wood. Follow with Minwax Paste Wax for a hand-rubbed finish.

By following these simple tips and keeping in mind the three R’s, you can give your home a distinctive look that is full of personality. Best of all, you will be able to say “I did that!”

Lifting The Weight Of Life’s Pressures (NAPS)—When it seems like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, the answer may be—more weight...in a special weighted blanket, that is.

Here’s the blanket statement on how it works: Weighted blankets can be a safe and effective nondrug therapy for anyone seeking a solution for loss of sleep or need for calm.

“In psychiatric care, weighted blankets are one of our most powerful tools for helping people who are anxious, upset and possibly on the verge of losing control,” says occupational therapist Karen Moore.

“These blankets work by providing input to the deep pressure touch receptors throughout the body,” she adds. “Deep pressure touch helps the body relax. Like a firm hug, weighted blankets help us feel secure, grounded and safe.”

Weighted blankets can be used to provide relief and comfort in cases of: • Sensory disorders • Sleep disorders • AD/HD (attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder) • Asperger’s and autism spectrum disorder • Restless leg syndrome (RLS) and fidgeting legs due to chemotherapy treatments, menopause symptoms and fibromyalgia • Anxious feelings and panic symptoms, stress and tension • Dental anxiety • Menopause symptoms.

Occupational therapists and doctors also recommend weighted blankets for Alzheimer’s disease, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, Tourette’s syndrome, bipolar disease and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). As SFC David DeMarco, U.S. Army, Retired, says, the “calming” effect can assist with restless sleep and PTSD. They work because the deep pressure stimulation that happens when you get a hug is similar to cuddling up with a weighted blanket.

“Pressure is calming to the nervous system,” says Temple Grandin, who invented the squeeze machine.

To make it easier to achieve this comfort, Mosaic Weighted Blankets® are filled with just enough nontoxic Poly-Pellets to provide deep pressure touch stimulation without uncomfortable restriction.

The blankets are custom made for each person to get the right size and weight. They can cover the whole body for sleeping or just the legs. Lap blankets and wraps are also available, and they all come in a variety of fabrics and patterns that appeal to children and adults.

Learn More Mosaic Weighted Blankets® relieve the mind, relax the body and release the spirit, letting the rested and calmer you shine through. For more information, call (512) 567-8943 or visit www. mosaicweightedblankets.com.

This means investing Coffeyville, KS 67337 Fax (620) 251-5599 in a relatively small home standby generator— perhaps a 7- or 11-kW unit—to protect your home.

Kansas Licensed Mortgage Company MC0001072 Oklahoma Mortgage License MB001880 • Backing up your whole home with a smart National MLS# 227294 power management system. If you want all your lights and appliances running just as they would on a normal day, you can invest in an automatic standby generator with a smart power management system.

Most of the time, these are central air conditioners. When generator capacity returns, the system will turn those appliances back on. Such systems are ideal for homes up to about 3,000 square feet with no more than two three-ton central air conditioners. The generators can be as small as 11 kW, with 20- or 22-kW generators among the most popular.

• Complete whole-house backup. Want to back up your entire home, with the ability to power every appliance all the time? You can invest in an automatic standby generator that delivers enough power to do just that. For homes up to 3,000 square feet, a 16- through 22-kW unit can suffice, while others—large custom homes and those with many power-hungry appliances such as two or more central air conditioners—will require generators that are larger.
