Finally, a cell phone that’s… a phone

Lo S B ng ou ett er nd er Ba a tte nd ry Lif e

Introducing the all-new Jitterbug® Plus.

We’ve made it even better… without making it harder to use.

“All my friends have new cell phones. They carry them around with them all day, like mini computers, with little tiny keyboards and hundreds of programs which are supposed to make their life easier. Trouble is… my friends can’t use them. The keypads are too small, the displays are hard to see and the phones are so complicated that my friends end up borrowing my Jitterbug when they need to make a call. I don’t mind… I just got a new phone too… the new Jitterbug Plus. Now I have all the things I loved about my Jitterbug phone along with some great new features that make it even better!

Monthly Rate Operator Assistance 911 Access Long Distance Calls Voice Dial Nationwide Coverage

GreatCall® created the Jitterbug with one thing in mind – to offer people a cell phone that’s easy to see and hear, and is simple to use and affordable. Now, they’ve made the cell phone experience even better with the Jitterbug Plus. It features a lightweight, comfortable design with a backlit keypad and big, legible numbers. There is even a dial tone so you know the phone is ready to use. You can also increase the volume with one touch and the speaker’s been improved so you get great audio quality and can hear every word. The battery has been improved too– it’s one of the longest lasting on the market– so you won’t have to charge it as often. The phone comes to you with your account already set up and is easy to activate.

“All this introspection—I hate it!” That’s Ethel Kennedy’s tart reaction to her filmmaker daughter Rory’s questions in Ethel, a tribute to RFK’s widow, who raised 11 children in the wake of tragedy. The result is a selective yet captivating documentary that takes in love at first sight (for her, at least), life as a political wife, and the family’s commitment to good works. At 84, Ethel is still feisty and fascinating.

NATE’S DESIGN EXPERT NATE BERKUS, WHO DEBUTS A NEW COLLECTION AT TARGET THIS MONTH, SHARES TIPS FOR LOWBUDGET SPRUCE-UPS, EASY MAKEOVERS, AND OTHER STRATEGIES FOR GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR SPACE nate berkus is about to make a big, defining pronouncement. Ready?

“The living room is obsolete,” proclaims the 41-year-old interior designer, who became a household name through dozens of appearances on Oprah.

You there—yes, you, reading this story while lounging on a couch in your living room—are you now feeling totally confused?

That is not Berkus’s intent. He means that the notion of the living room as a formal space reserved for occasional

entertaining is outdated.

Living rooms should be used for living. “We want to read there, to eat there, to entertain, to play games on the floor,” he says. “I don’t believe in having spaces in the home that don’t get used. We pay so much for square footage that to waste it is criminal.”

In fact, he would go further than that: “Take those shackles off in terms of the designated names for your spaces,” he says. “Look at how you like to live instead.”

In other words, while the builder’s floor plan may call it a living room, you don’t have to furnish and decorate it as such.

Knowing how people like to live has made Berkus one of America’s most popular home design experts over the past decade. His boyish

enthusiasm, Midwestern modesty (he grew up mostly in Minneapolis), and lack of pretension are all evinced in his No. 1 tip for improving home decor: “Clean your house, people. It costs nothing!” After gaining fame on Oprah (for his first appearance, in 2002, he did a makeover on a 319-squarefoot studio apartment), he was host of his own syndicated TV program (its two-year run ended recently); wrote a best seller, Home Rules: Transform the Place You Live Into a Place You’ll Love (his new book, The Things That Matter, will be published next week); and created several signature lines of home products, the latest of which launches at Target on Oct. 21.

Berkus recently sat down with PARADE in Manhattan, but only after carefully folding several sweaters and shirts he had brought with him to the photo shoot.

“I used to work at the Gap; I know how to fold,” he says, before chatting

easily about home design and how it affects the way we live today.

“A universal priority for Americans is to be comfortable,” he says, noting that our homes have become progressively more casual over the past half-century, both in layout and in furnishings. Walls have come down between kitchens and family rooms; sofas and chairs are no longer rigidly straight-backed and hardseated. That’s all good, he says.

“When your space really functions for you, your life is easier.”

NATE’S BEST LOW-BUDGET SPRUCE-UPS FOR YOUR HOME “The simplest is to clean your house! You can’t have a beautifully designed space if you can’t see the furniture and surfaces in your home.”

“I’m not going to say paint is an easy spruceup. It takes time, it needs touch-ups, and you have to be very methodical.

But it is worth it, and it isn’t particularly expensive.”

“There’s something I call Moving Day, which I’ve done for the last 20 years. Look at everything in your home, then think about how you could combine things in a different way. Maybe you break up your night tables and use one in the family room; maybe the dining room sideboard becomes a console table for your television, with storage underneath. Move around what you already own.”

Also making our homes more user-friendly is technology. Berkus says someone from 50 years ago walking through an American home today would marvel at our big-screen TVs, sophisticated music systems, automatically temperature-controlled rooms, and multiple computers and devices. In the not-too-distant future, this technology will be used to track our tastes even more closely, he adds. “Computers will register when our eyes land on a TV ad and send us messages via our phones that say, ‘You seem to have liked that lamp. It’s on sale, and you’re pulling into the parking lot right now, so check it out.’ That scares me a bit.”

But in our rush to embrace the new, Berkus fears we are leaving the old behind. He advocates mixing the two, furnishing our homes with a judicious blend of vintage pieces, found objects, and treasures that have been passed down through family members or acquired during travels, along with the new stuff we buy because it’s useful and we love or need it.

“Everywhere your eye travels in your home, it should land on something that resonates with you,” he says.

One thing that resonates personally with Berkus is a large tortoise shell that his mother, Nancy Golden, an interior designer who now creates leather jewelry, brought home to Minneapolis from her 1974 honeymoon in Mexico with Berkus’s stepfather.

When the newlyweds noticed a pile of discarded shells

behind a restaurant that served turtle soup, Golden requested one, taking it home on the plane with her. To this day, it hangs above the fireplace in the family room of Berkus’s childhood home. (He recalls with horror, however, that his mom neglected to fumigate it first. “The house was infested,” he says, “[with] whatever was living in it. So disgusting.”)

Berkus used that souvenir as inspiration for a key piece in his Target collection, a

19-by-15-inch lacquered faux tortoise shell (selling for $40 and available in green, yellow, and cream). “It personifies everything I love about design and creating new things,” he says. “You can take something that’s iconic and natural and has a pattern that’s instantly recognizable and put it out there in a new way. I could see a row of them along a wall.”

Berkus was interested in design early, bringing home treasures he found at garage sales; when he was a teenager, he obsessively rearranged the furniture and possessions in his basement bedroom. “That was my design lab,” he says.

At the ripe old age of 24, he opened his own design firm, Nate Berkus Associates; seven years later, he got the call to do Oprah after meeting one of her producers at a social event.

Today, Berkus lives in Manhattan but frequently visits Chicago, where his design firm is still based. In addition to the Target collection, he’s nurturing a new movie project (he was a producer on The Help, a venture he joined early thanks to his friendship with novelist Kathryn Stockett and writer-director Tate Taylor). But first he has his new book, The Things That Matter, to promote. “I wanted to provide people with a new way of thinking about decoration: How can we get back to personalizing our spaces?” he says. “I was seeing too many homes > continued on page 13

More Tips From Nate Berkus

THE BIGGEST DESIGN MISTAKE “I see it every day: People trying to create a home that somebody else tells them they should have,” says Berkus. “I don’t care if it’s a magazine, a neighbor, or a bossy friend— when somebody says, ‘This is what’s elegant, this is what’s trendy,’ if it doesn’t represent you, you’re not going to be happy. Take a beat and say, ‘Is this something I want to live with, or am I just buying it because I saw it on a TV show?’ ”

44

PERCENTAGE OF RESPONDENTS WHO SAID THE LOOK OF THEIR HOME WAS “TRADITIONAL” (Source: HomeGoods Home Census 2010)

KITCHEN AND BATHROOM RENOS “They’re the most expensive rooms to renovate, but they provide the most resale value for the home,” Berkus says. “I never build in anything that can be considered a trend in those spaces. They used to tease me at the Oprah show, ‘Are you really going to do another white Shaker kitchen, with white subway tile and stainless steel appliances?’ And my answer is, ‘I can vary it a bit, but I’m never going to err from classic materials.’ When you can buy classic penny tile for 99 cents a sheet for your bathroom, it doesn’t make sense to spend $70 a square foot on hand-painted tile. If you want to experiment in those spaces, do so through paint and the color of towels and accessories.” > 10 • October 14, 2012

that didn’t reflect the people who lived in them.”

He also writes in the book about his life and offers photos of his duplex apartment in Greenwich Village.

The most personal tale that Berkus, who is currently single and dating, tells is how he loved and lost Fernando Bengoechea, a photographer who died in the 2004 tsunami that hit parts of Asia and Africa. The couple had been vacationing in a remote village in Sri Lanka when the tsunami hit, waking them from sleep; they became separated

as the water swept them along. Berkus miraculously survived, but Bengoechea was never found. “It made me more able to embrace my vulnerability and care more about having true, legitimate connections to other people,” Berkus says quietly of the experience.

Today, two large photos that Bengoechea took of a Joshua tree hang in Berkus’s New York apartment. “I always want objects in my home that have a connection to me or something I’ve loved, a place I’ve been or a memory that I have,” he says. “It’s still stuff, but it’s stuff that has meaning.”

Why does everything taste better with salt? —Macon Craven, Powhatan County, Va.

We have at least four tastes: bitter, sweet, sour, and salty.

(Savory—the basis of monosodium glutamate—may be a fifth.) Only one refers to an essential dietary nutrient: salt.

Without this mineral, humans cannot live. So it’s likely we’re hardwired to love it. Salt is so crucial that when people go on low-sodium diets, their intestines work harder to absorb sodium and their kidneys try to eliminate less. People who also take diuretics, which lower sodium levels, need to be monitored: If their blood sodium falls too low, seizures or a coma can result. Even people as healthy and fit as marathoners can get into this kind of trouble when they sweat profusely and drink only plain water to replace fluids during a race.

Ohio factory reborn; 250 new hires for EdenPURE portable heater s ®

New models shipped direct from warehouse at up to 49% savings Richard Karn, North Canton, Ohio

I was fortunate enough to attend the grand opening of the new EdenPURE® factory in North Canton, Ohio. The new plant brought hundreds of new jobs back to Ohio and reversed the common practice of sending Midwest manufacturing jobs to China. Now, EdenPURE® continues to ramp up production for the coming Winter with exciting new models and hundreds of new employees as this Made in America success story continues to grow.

With over 3 million portable heaters sold EdenPURE ® is the best selling portable infrared heating system in North America.

However, like any classic, EdenPURE ® has dozens of would-be competitors who create Asian copies at low prices using cheap, foreign labor. Don’t be fooled by these imitations. Look for the EdenPURE® logo and the Made in North Canton, Ohio stamp. Save like millions of others on your heating bills and say “NO” to cheap foreign imitators.

Now readers can save up to 49% ($192 the largest savings ever on new EdenPURE ®s). EdenPURE ® is not just the best-selling portable heating system in North America.

As an EdenPURE ® owner I rank EdenPURE® #1 for quality, safety and efficiency. And now is the perfect time to save like never before on our expanded 2013 EdenPURE® line made in our brand new North Canton, Ohio facility.

With two models EdenPURE® can meet all of your heating requirements 365 days a year.

Stay Comfortable 365 Days a Year “Never be cold again” is the EdenPURE® promise. EdenPURE® provides you insurance against the cold all year long. Stay comfortable on those unseasonably chilly evenings no matter the season. I live in California but believe me it gets cold at night. Keep your expensive furnace turned down until it’s absolutely necessary. And if we are fortunate enough to experience a mild winter as many did in the Midwest last year, you keep your furnace off all season and save even bigger.

New, More Efficient Models The engineers at EdenPURE ® listened to their millions of customers and somehow managed to improve the #1 portable heater in North America. Through old fashioned American ingenuity the new EdenPURE® line is more efficient to save you even more money.

The EdenPURE® Personal Heater now heats a larger area, an increase from 350 square feet to 500 square feet. That’s a 30% increase in efficiency! And Eden-

RICHARD KARN’S SAVINGS COUPON

As Al Borland on Home Improvement I was the man with all the answers. However, as Richard Karn I still look for money saving and efficient heating in my home. I have an EdenPURE® Infrared Portable Heater in my California home and like millions of others found it to be a super-safe, reliable source of portable heat all year long.

PURE ® is proud to introduce the 2013 Model 750. The new Model 750 is perfect for larger areas and heats up to 750 square feet. But the best thing about the Model 750 is the price. We priced the Model 750 at only $50 above the Personal Heater. This means you receive a 33% increase in performance for only $50. That’s American engineering at its best!

The EdenPURE ® can cut your heating bills and pay for itself in a matter of weeks, and then start putting a great deal of extra money in your pocket after that.

Super Safe Infrared Heat Now remember, a major cause of residential fires in the United States is carelessness and faulty portable heaters. The choice of fire and safety professionals like Captain Mike Hornby, the EdenPURE® has no exposed heating elements that can cause a fire. That’s why grandparents and parents love the EdenPURE®.

The outside of the EdenPURE® only gets warm to the touch so that it will not burn children or pets.

And your pet may be just like my dog who has reserved a favorite spot near the EdenPURE ® . You see the EdenPURE® uses infrared heat. And just as pets enjoy basking in a beam of sunlight they try to stay close to EdenPURE®’s “bonewarming” infrared heat.

The Secret is in the Copper EdenPURE ® ’s EdenFLOW

technology uses copper heating chambers to take the energy provided by our special SYLVANIA bulbs and distribute our famous soft heat evenly throughout the room. Now our copper isn’t ordinary. It’s 99.9% pure antimicrobial copper from an over 150 year old American owned company in Pennsylvania. So your EdenPURE® heater is continuously pushing soft, healthy, infrared heat throughout your room.

How to Order During our 2013 introduction you are eligible for a $202 DISCOUNT PLUS FREE SHIPPING AND HANDLING FOR A TOTAL SAVINGS OF $229 ON THE EDENPURE ® MODEL 750 AND A $175 DISCOUNT PLUS FREE SHIPPING AND HANDLING FOR A TOTAL SAVINGS OF $192 ON THE EDENPURE® PERSONAL HEATER.

show that if you find a workout fun, you’re far more likely to stick with it.

Which fruit was recently shown to help keep women’s brains young?

(a) Berries (b) Pomegranates (c) Apples Answer: (a). Harvard researchers studied 16,000 women and found that subjects who regularly ate blueberries and

3

Women’s happiness in relationships is most closely tied to: (a) How well their partner can sense when they are upset (b) How often their partner compliments them (c) How often their partner prepares dinner Answer: (a). Women rate their relationship satisfaction much higher when their husband or partner takes notice of their negative moods, according to research published in the Journal of Family Psychology. Conversely, men feel greater satisfaction when their wife or partner lets them know she is happy, the study’s authors found.

4

Breast cancer survival rates are better for women who: (a) Maintain a healthy weight (b) Get plenty of sleep (c) Both (a) and (b) Answer: (c). New findings show that women who were overweight or obese when diagnosed had both higher recurrence and death rates, possibly because heavy women tend to have elevated levels of the same hormones that may fuel tumor growth. And a separate study discovered that postmenopausal women who get fewer than six hours of sleep a night may develop more aggressive tumors.

What’s the most effective form of birth control?

Find the answer and more at Parade.com/womenshealth

5

True or false: All postmenopausal women should take a daily iron supplement.

Answer: False. A number of recent studies have questioned the wisdom of taking a handful of vitamins each day, and a 2011 paper found that older women who took iron supplements had a higher risk of death during the study period than those who did not. Anemia can be a problem as you age, but adding iron-rich foods to your diet is better than taking supplements, in part because excess iron may be toxic to internal organs.

6

True or false: Chocoholics tend to be skinnier than those who rarely indulge.

Answer: True. A 2012 study found that “people who ate chocolate more often actually weighed less—even though they didn’t exercise any more,” says lead researcher Beatrice Golomb, M.D., Ph.D. She theorizes that nutrients in chocolate may play a role in metabolism, helping to offset weight gain. “I say only half-jokingly to my patients that chocolate is my favorite vegetable,” Golomb says.
