Build the Right Fire — Use different briquet arrangements depend­ing on what’s going on the grill. n Thinner

pieces of meat respond best to high temperature, direct-heat grilling, which requires spreading the coals out evenly across the grate.

n Thicker

pieces of meat cook beautifully all the way through, without burning on the outside, with a two-zone fire.

n Stack

briquets to one side of the grate for high and low tempera­ture zones. Begin cooking directly over the coals until the outside of the meat has reached the desired doneness; then move the meat to the other side of the grate (the low temperature zone) to finish cooking.

Career Advice For New Grads The traditional path that worked for your grandparents is not necessarily viable anymore StatePoint

If you’re a new college or high school graduate, you may have been told by older relatives that the best way to launch your career is to get a decent job and stick with it. But many experts today warn that the expectation of relying on one company to employ you until you retire is no longer realistic. “The traditional path that worked for your grandparents is not necessarily viable anymore,” says Larry Winters, founder and president of Leadership Team Development, Inc. As the author of the new book‚ “Live the Dream – No More Excuses,” Winters believes that with the right attitude and a solid plan, you can take control of your financial destiny. n Taking control of your financial future and career starts when you decide to dive into your opportunity headfirst. Be confident. You can’t

win with a mind cluttered with constant doubt. Excuses are easy to make and will only serve to help you avoid doing what’s right. Stop making them!

n

The only real security in today’s economic climate of outsourcing and downsizing is the ability to perform. Gain a practical skill set and become invaluable.

n

Spend time every day reading something to develop your personal growth. Expand your mind with the most positive, optimistic, ethical, inspiring material possible.

n

Surround yourself with people who will help you keep a positive and motivated outlook. Don’t allow friends with a “can’t do” attitude bring you down. Naysayers are a dime a dozen.

Survival Tips for Your Family Vacation ARA CONTENT

Y

ou know the old saying that the journey is just as important as reaching your destination? It can also be applied to your family vacation. Some even believe that the journey is half the fun of getting there. While you may already have a getaway destination in mind, traveling as a family presents its share of challenges for the journey ahead. That’s why it’s so important to plan ahead to make sure your trip is a memorable voyage, rather than an endless undertaking. Preparing for vacation travel is all about using your resources, staying organized and snacking smartly. Whether you’re traveling by car, plane or train, here are a few travel survival tips to ensure a smooth journey during your next vacation:

Keep a snack stash. Hunger is the happy traveler’s kryptonite,

as moods can go south quickly when you’re in need of a snack. The type of snacks you choose is also important, as snacks overloaded with sugar might not help you feel satisfied for long — and sugary snacks can also leave your kids with lots of energy and nowhere to burn it off. Try stocking up on healthier snacks like pretzels in single 100-calorie packs.

ery. To combine food and fun, use pretzel bits as bingo pieces or a tasty game of tic-tac-toe. Bringing pads for doodling is never a bad idea either, and washable markers are always a good option since they won’t easily break like crayons or colored pencils might.

Make it easy to get some shut-eye.

Hand sanitizer, napkins and hand wipes can help keep everyone — and the inside of your car — clean during your trip. If you have younger children, keeping a bag with a change of clothes easily accessible can help you weather any bad spills or accidents.

If you have a longer trip planned, bringing smaller travel pillows and blankets to help your passengers rest when they get sleepy can help keep everyone happy. You may also want to consider sun-blocking screens that still allow the driver to see out the window — although a comfortable pair of sunglasses for the little ones can also help.

Don’t forget the fun.

Travel-friendly technology.

Car games can make the time fly by for children. If you’re driving, games like car bingo and the license plate game are fun ways to help your child discover the scen-

Smartphones and tablets make great travel companions for adults, giving you access to helpful maps, restaurant reviews and tourism sites.

Take a clean-up kit.
