the question: Is it better to close at a particular time of the month?

the answer: There are differing opinions on this topic. Many lenders will tell you to close at the end of the month so that you have to pay less in per diem interest for the money borrowed from the bank. However, if the extra cash out of pocket is not the biggest concern I would recommend closing at a slower time of the month as your lender and closing attorney will not be as busy. This will help in getting you the closing date and time you want and should make the whole process less stressful. Of course, if you are a cash buyer then timing is not a big issue, but I would still pick a time of the month other than the end so as to not be caught up with those getting loans.

Food safety tips for the holidays (StatePoint) Great food is the centerpiece of any holiday celebration, and practicing safe food handling in the kitchen is an important part of holiday meal preparation. There are certain steps you can take to keep friends and family safe from food poisoning. “The kitchen can be chaotic and it can be

Clean Prevent the spread of bacteria by keeping a clean kitchen and washing hands. Cutting boards, dishes, utensils and counter tops should be washed with hot water and soap after preparing each food item, and before going on to the next. Keep plenty of

water. Separate Cross-contamination is how bacteria spread. Keep raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs and their juices away from ready-to-eat foods, like salad ingredients. Using separate cutting boards is one way to reduce opportunities for cross-contamination. Cook Temperature matters! Bacteria can survive if foods aren’t cooked to a safe internal temperature. Even an experienced cook can`t tell if food is cooked safely by how it looks, so use a food thermometer to ensure you’re cooking turkeys, ham, egg dishes and other foods to a safe internal temperature. Download a temperature chart at www.holidayfoodsafety.org. Chill The holiday celebration is great -- and even better if you have delicious leftovers. Just remember to enjoy them within four days. Bacteria spread fastest at temperatures between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, so chill food promptly -- within two hours -- at a refrigerator temperature of 40 degrees or below. Appliance thermometers are inexpensive and can help you monitor your refrigerator’s temperature.

challenging to keep food safety top of mind when dealing with a whole holiday meal, from turkey to trimmings,” cautions Shelley Feist, Executive Director of the non-profit Partnership for Food Safety Education. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one in six Americans will get sick from dangerous foodborne bacteria this year. But these crucial safety tips can help you create a safe and tasty holiday celebration:

clean cloth towels or paper towels handy for cleaning surfaces and drying hands.

Bring on the Bird Learning how to cook a turkey safely may be one of the biggest holiday meal challenges. Never thaw your turkey on the counter. Turkeys are best thawed in the fridge. So allot plenty of real estate to your turkey before your celebration. If you’re going to stuff your turkey, stuff safely. Cook stuffing to a minimum temperature of 165 degrees, whether inside or outside of the bird.

Enforce a strict hand washing policy for all holiday kitchen helpers. Use warm water and soap for 20 seconds before and after handling food.

Visit www.Holidayfoodsafety.org, for a complete guide to the safe handling, preparation, serving, and leftover storage of your holiday turkey. You’ll also find guidelines on turkey size, how to thaw a turkey and cooking times.

Rinse fresh fruits and vegetables under running tap water just before eating or preparing. Rub firm-skinned produce under running tap water or scrub with a clean vegetable brush while rinsing with running tap

By taking precautions to prepare food safely, you can ensure that bacteria won’t be guests at your holiday celebration.

Robinson Creek. At the end of Cane Creek Valley, discover a living concept seemingly created by you.

www.CarolinaMountainSales.com www.DiscoverRobinsonCreek.com

Robinson Creek offers an exciting living opportunity at the sunny end of Cane Creek Valley at the corner of Mills Gap Road and Cane Creek Road. It’s perched just high enough to offer jaw-dropping views framed by incredible natural scenes of rolling North Carolina hillside. Conceived as a quiet community with private home sites, and neighbors you might wave to from your front porch, Robinson Creek is the new model for Western North Carolina living. By listening to what today’s buyer is truly looking for, the builder has developed a series of homes with distinctive architecture, open floor plans, high ceilings, and quality finishes. The homes strike the best balance between superior workmanship and value. At Robinson Creek you are just a few minutes away from South Asheville, which offers an abundance of restaurants, grocery stores, and retail shopping options. Cane Creek Middle School is only five minutes away. Downtown Asheville is an easy 20-minute drive, and you can reach the Asheville Regional Airport in just 15 minutes. Medical centers and major hospitals are located conveniently nearby. Here’s a snapshot: • Land and home packages priced from the low $300s • Elegant Craftsman mountain-inspired architecture • Five unique floor plans on .5 to 1.5 acre home sites • 1,800–2,300 sq. ft. homes (with the ability to expand) • Open floor plans • Granite countertops throughout, fireplace, and hardwood floors • Opportunities to expand and personalize your home within a design guideline • 10 ft. ceilings in the main-level living spaces • Tankless hot water heater • City water with natural gas and septic system • Already completed streets and curbs • County Taxes • A new model home (will be completed by January 2013) • A debt-free community and developer

Inquiries can be made by calling Brian Etheridge at 828.551.8043 to set up a tour of the property, review floor plans, or discuss this opportunity in greater detail. Email: bretheridge@gmail.com

Protect your pets from holiday hazards (StatePoint) You can bet that during the holiday season your pet is bound to sniff out leftovers, dig into the presents and have fun with all of your decorations. And while these holiday effects can spread cheer and joy amongst your human family members, they can be a real hazard to pets. This season, keep your holiday celebration safe, happy and healthy for pets by taking these key measures:

those areas of your home. Tinsel and gift ribbons are tempting for pets that like to play with shiny things, but when swallowed, such items can cause intestinal obstructions. Clean up after opening presents and vacuum around the tree to pick up any gift debris, as well as fallen pine needles which pose a similar hazard.

units to train pets to avoid areas of the home or yard where they might get in trouble. And if you have multiple pets, you can set different rules for different pets. So don’t forgo that lovely holiday candle display just because you have a pet in your life. More information can be found at www.invisiblefence.com . Watch Your Plate

Avoid the Problem Decorate Wisely Avoid poisonous holiday plants like poinsettias and holly. There are plenty of toxic-free alternatives as evocative of the season as these traditional holiday favorites. If you must deck the halls with such plants, place them in an out of the way spot your pets can’t reach and keep your pets away from

When it comes to the holidays, there’s no need to be a Grinch in order to keep your celebration safe for pets. New technologies are making it easier to teach pets to stay away from certain areas of your home, both indoors and outside. For example, Invisible Fence Brand Micro Shields Avoidance Solutions are small mobile wireless

As most great pet owners know, not all human foods are safe or healthy for pets. Pets can choke on bones in meat or fish dishes. And such foods as onions, macadamia nuts and chocolate -- which are commonly found in holiday cooking and baking -- are unsafe for dogs. Avoid having your well-meaning guests sending Spot to the vet by laying ground rules about sharing food. Also, one man’s trash is a pet’s treasure, so be sure to keep the lid on the garbage secure. By taking proper precautions, you can keep the holidays festive this year for both you and your pets.

one in six men, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. In addition, heart disease killed 26 percent of the men who died in 2006. And half of the men who die suddenly of coronary heart disease have no previous symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Simple ways for men to stay healthy This year, millions of New Year’s resolutions will be made - and then broken soon after. But there is one resolution that all men should keep: to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, affecting

There are many simple ways men can reduce their risk for lifethreatening health conditions. Make a New Year’s resolution to improve your health and better your life with these easy tips. Get Checked

Sometimes improving your health is as simple as a trip to the doctor. As you age, the likelihood of being diagnosed with prostate cancer increases significantly. Men over 40 should begin discussing their prostate health with a physician. Catching prostate cancer in

its earliest stages can greatly improve a man’s chance at survival, so it’s important to be proactive and talk to your doctor about your prostate health. You can learn more about risk factors and prevention on the Prostate Cancer Foundation’s website at www.PCF.org. Eat Healthy Choosing healthy snacks and avoiding fatty meals can help reduce your risk of heart disease, diabetes and certain forms of cancer. Foods that are low in saturated fat and dietary cholesterol and high in fiber can help prevent high cholesterol, according to the CDC. Additionally, several studies suggest that eating fish can help protect against prostate cancer because they have "good fat," particularly omega-3 fatty acids. Exercise Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial to preventing heart disease. Physical activity will help lower your blood pressure and cholesterol. According to the Surgeon General, adults should engage in moderately intense exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. By maintaining a healthy weight, you will also lower your risk for diabetes. Relax Don’t sweat the small stuff. Reducing your stress at work and at home can help improve your overall health and lead to a longer, happier life. Seek medical treatment for stress, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and depression. Treating these conditions may save your life and have been shown to improve survivorship in prostate cancer. These are resolutions to keep. Now is the perfect time to make changes to improve your health.
