Knowing a little about stroke may help you to reduce disability or save a life. Consider what happened to Juaquin Hawk Hawkins, a professional basketball player, 34 years-old and in top physical condition. He had a stroke-and didnt recognize the warning signs, nor did the people around him. According to the American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association, only two out of three Americans know at least one of the stroke warning signs. Yet stroke is the No. 4 killer for all Americans and the No. 1 preventable cause of disability. T h a t s w h y t h e A m e r i c a n Stroke Associations Together to End Stroke initiative, which is nationally sponsored by global medical products company Covidien, is helping Americans recognize the stroke warning signs in an easy way. Just remember F.A.S.T. and the symptoms that come on suddenly: F - Face drooping A - Arm weakness S - Speech difficulty T - Time to call 9-1-1.

When listing a home, sellers typically expect curious neighbors to stop by during an open house, but who is likely to actually purchase that home may surprise them. Rather than buyers from down the street or even across the country, a growing number of sellers are seeing their homes purchased by buyers from the other side of the world. According to the National Association of REALTORS (NAR) Profile of International Home Buying Activity, the percentage of international sales increased by over 24 percent in the past year. With the current changes in the global economy, more homes in the U.S. are purchased by international buyers than ever, raising the total volume of sales to international clients from $66.4 billion to $82.5 billion.

The characters of Jake and Elwood Blues, created by John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in 1978, were initially imagined as front men for a fictitious American blues and soul band. Since their film debut in 1980, the irreverent characters have resonated with people around the world and the Blues Brothers have catapulted into a cultural phenomenon and musical, comedic, and cinematic legend. The Official Blues Brothers Revue, featuring Wayne Catania and Kieron Lafferty as Jake and Elwood, recreates the live concert experience, integrating the humor. WESTERN MASS PENNY SAVER 21

the perfect ring, but presentation is equally important. Choose something that will not only stun your betrothed, but also be something he or she can keep for years. Ditch the typical velvet box and go for a personalized, engraved keepsake box from Things Remembered.

More Sharing ServicesShare | Share on facebook Share on myspace Share on google (NewsUSA) - "And you'll be able to wear it again!" is a phrase often used around bridesmaids' dresses. Because a ridiculously expensive lime-green taffeta shepherdess gown is appropriate for almost any occasion, and the Peter Pan collar is poised to make a comeback any century now. If you're one of the many women who has piles of Pepto-Bismolcolored ruffles stuffed in the back of her closet, never fear -; you will be able to wear that dress again. Host an old bridesmaids' dress party, and the good times may even blot out the embarrassment of having had to wear that dress in the first place. Where to start? The concept is simple -- invite all of your girlfriends over, and tell them to wear their most hideous bridesmaid dress. Not only will you get to rewear the bridesmaids' dresses of weddings past, you'll also get to laugh at some of the more hideous outfits. Note: if you were a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding, either don't invite her or try not to wear the dress she chose, even if it does include a tutu and puffed sleeves. Adding an inexpensive spin to
bridesmaid dress. You can also have fun playing a wedding-themed round of Pictionary or charades. You can also hold a vote to find out, for once and for all, which one of you had to endure the wearing the worst bridesmaid dress. For more information about Arbor Mist wines, visit www.arbormist. com.

While any time of year can be the right time to assess your financial fitness, many find the new year is an excellent time to take stock of their financial status, drop old habits and cultivate new ones. The good news is that financial fitness is a goal thats very attainable. If youre serious about making your financial future more secure, here are some helpful tips: Set Goals And Have A Plan To make a life change, you need more than a decision. You need a plan. A plan is the guide to put your decision into action so that you can reach your goal. Learning how to set goals takes practice, but according to the 2011 Stick With It study by Northwestern Mutual, the No. 1 strategy that works is setting small interim goals.

Contribute as much as you can to your employers 401(k) plan, individual retirement accounts and special retirement accounts even if you are a long way from retirement age. Your older self will thank you. Consider Your Longevity Are you prepared to live into your 80s, 90s or beyond?

You and your family can achieve more in 2013 with a disciplined plan of action.
