THINKING OF REPLACEMENT WINDOWS?
THINK AGAIN
(NewsUSA) - Being aware of your homes carbon
footprint takes targeted effort, but it can also save
you money. Incorporating eco-friendly additions into
your home can massively reduce energy bills and
save on repairs.
According to CellularWindowShades.com, up
to 24 percent of a fuel bill can escape out of leaky
windows. But replacing windows can cost anywhere
from $400 to $800 per window. Depending on the
size of your house and the state of your windows, total
cost could be anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000.
One affordable yet environmentally efcient
option is insulating window shades. Theres some
hesitation around insulating shades, but here are
a few questions and explanations straight from the
experts mouth.
Q: Our windows are cold. Do we need to replace
them, or can we use insulating shades?
A: If your windows are no longer functional,
and your energy bills are off the charts, go with
replacement windows. However, if they are simply
old and cold, homeowners might want to consider
high-quality insulating shades with side tracks that
provide a four-sided seal. Shades like these will
solve your heat-loss problems immediately.
Q: How do I know if insulated shades are the right
option for my home?
A: Quality insulated shades are part of a good
energy-conservation plan. After installing energy-
efcient CFL bulbs, insulated shades are the next
step. Mini-blinds can transfer the cold from your
window into the room, increasing your energy costs
by 10 percent. Insulating shades can reduce that by
half.
Q: What are the environmental benets of using
insulated shades?
A: Residential heating and cooling eat up more
fossil fuels than any other sector. A shocking 50
percent slips through poorly insulated windows.
Experts guage that the equivalent of 450 million
barrels of oil could be saved every year if all windows
in the U.S. had effective insulating shades.
For more information, go to cellularwindowshades.
com. The shades come in a variety of attractive and
complementary colors.
Moms Deserve a Little Me Time
(NewsUSA) - Moms are the true jacks-of-all-
trades. They are the chefs who get meals on the
table and lunches packed; the chauffeurs who get
kids where they need to be; the doctors who bandage
up scrapes; the listeners to problems big and small;
the social directors of play dates and parties; and so
much more.
With all that they do, moms rarely get a moment to
take a break and enjoy a bit of time for themselves.
Dr. Wendy Walsh, busy single mom, TV personality
and college professor, understands what its like to
be busy. Here are her tips for helping other moms
sneak a little me time.
* All moms should take a guilt-free break
during their busy day. Try arriving at school carpool
early. Turn off the car engine, tune into a favorite
radio station and reach into your bag for a favorite
snack -- like a Keebler Granola Fudge Bar. The
granola bars are 150 calories and contain 3 grams
of ber*.
* Watching kids read can remind moms how
relaxing it is to escape in the pages of a riveting
novel. Get mom-friends together and form a book
club, so theres always an excuse to take a break.
Tell kids youre doing Mommy-homework, because
the book club is meeting soon.
* As the sun sets, parents want to wind down,
but sometimes kids, especially colicky babies, wind
up. A nice walk is a great way to calm a child down.
When the kids get older, keep walking at sunset. Its
a great way to take a break from the chaos of the
house and soothe yourself.
From taking a peaceful break to enjoying a favorite
snack, the importance of a little break in a very hectic
day is key for moms. For more wholesome snack
ideas like granola bars, that can be enjoyed by mom
and the entire family, visit www.keebler.com.

GIFTS FROM HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
(NewsUSA) - If its truly better to give than to
receive, why not give more than gifts from the store
this holiday season? Home-baked treats are the
perfect way to warm a heart and satisfy a sweet
tooth for the people on your nice list.
Take a break from the hustle and bustle of holiday
shopping, and spend a pleasant day in your cozy
kitchen making home-baked gifts, like little loaves
of Chocolate Hazelnut Fruit Bread, said Martha
White baking expert Linda Carman. Giving
someone a homemade gift is special because its a
priceless gift of your time.
To make your gift even more meaningful, consider
pairing the mini loaves with a wooden cutting board,
a spreader and a small butter crock lled with a
homemade spread thats delicious and easy to
make.

TOP THEME PARTY TIPS FOR 2012
(NewsUSA) - Lets face it. Theme parties are a
blast. They can turn any combination of coworkers,
family and friends into an enthusiastic crowd admiring
creative decorations and inventive outts. The best
part? Party themes can be as far-fetched, classy or
outrageous as you like.
Event planning experts suggest going beyond
holidays and committing to themes with some
integrity. After all, these party themes must be worthy
of belonging to the apocalyptic 2012.
All celebrations can gain an unforgettable air
or stylish elegance by adhering to a theme for key
elements -- specically cocktails, music and decor.
From birthday parties and anniversaries to baby
showers and engagement parties, themes can be
specic or broad, but they can also be pricey.
Since we dont all have access to the deep pockets
necessary to afford celebrity planners like Mindy
Weiss or David Tutera, here are some creative tips
to help select the ideal 2012 party theme.
* Go green. If your veins bleed green instead
of red, plan an eco-friendly party. Decorate with
luxuriant house plants and natural colors. Spend
money on compostable paper materials, and save
by making it a pot-luck event. Challenge your guests
by urging them to only bring things they made
themselves, whether its a dish, beverage or gift.
* Tap into doomsday fears. Optimize on the
end-of-the-world hype and throw a wicked bash with
a Goth theme. Keep an upbeat mood with punk rock
favorites from the Night of the Demons soundtrack.
The horror lm from Seven Arts combined tunes
from Zombie Girl and Creature Feature for a scarily
popular soundtrack available for download on
iTunes.
* Recreate your current TV obsession. If
youre gearing up for the season ve premiere of
Mad Men, turn your party into a sophisticated 1960s
event complete with Old Fashions, Tom Collins and
classic hits from artists like Ray Charles. Other shows
like Glee, Grimm or Dexter would provide lots of
entertaining costume ideas for guests.
* Commemorate a favorite decade. Whether
its the 70s, 80s or 90s that has your friends
reminiscing, combine all your beloved elements
of the decade for a memorable celebration. From
music to food to clothing, your party can mimic the

WHO IS TEACHING OUR
TEACHERS?
(NewsUSA) - When schools are
challenged with insufcient funds,
outdated infrastructure and a wide gap
in achievement levels between low-
income and high-income families, the
weight of responsibility falls heavily on
educators. But who is educating our
teachers?
Most professionals receive ongoing
training to keep their skills and
knowledge fresh and applicable in
a rapidly changing world. Continued
professional development is even
more important for teachers -- the men
and women preparing todays students
for college, career, and citizenship,
explains Gene Carter, CEO of ASCD,
an organization providing professional
development to educators across the
country and around the world.
Thanks to new teaching methods,
materials, curricula and technology,
education is evolving more quickly
than ever before. Many teachers
need support to continually update
and improve their teaching. In the
fast-paced digital age, teachers skill
sets must continue to grow for their
students to see continued success.
For example, according to Carter,
the introduction of new common
education standards is driving
change in classrooms across the
country. ASCD offers conferences,
workshops, Webinars, online training
and even on-site capacity building to
instill new skills and better strategies
that help educators work with these
new standards adopted by states
nationwide.
According to experts, ongoing
professional development is critical to
empowering educators to support the
success of each learner.
The key [to school improvement]
is exemplary teaching along with
stellar professional development that
challenges, supports and inspires
teachers to rene practices to improve
student learning, notes Lynda Wood,
associate superintendent for Southeld
Public Schools in Michigan, about her
experience with ASCD.
As Wood observes, highly qualied
teachers are a must, but its ongoing
professional development that boosts
student learning to a higher level of
achievement and growth.
Five years ago, we had extremely
low student achievement levels, and
weve essentially doubled the number
of students who are meeting state
standards. That speaks directly to the
quality of professional development
thats gone on, says Principal Patricia
Reynolds from Queens after ASCD
faculty implemented a long-term
program at her school in New York.

development at www.ascd.org.
START SAVING WITH ENERGY-
EFFICIENT UPGRADES
(NewsUSA) - Cash back. Product
rebates. Tax incentives. These
are phrases we love to hear when
purchasing large home appliances.
The real bonuses start if you purchase
energy-efcient solutions, because
homeowners continue to save every
month by using less energy and
lowering utility bills.
Carrier, a leading manufacturer of air
conditioning, heating and refrigeration
systems, regularly offers incentives
to customers who purchase energy-
efcient heating and cooling systems,
such as the Innity system.
This same equipment may also
qualify for rebates from one of Energy
Stars 600-plus local utility partners,
located throughout the United States,
or tax incentives provided by the
federal government.
To save the most money on your next
heating, ventilation and air conditioning
(HVAC) purchase, its important to
understand which energy-efcient
products qualify for specic incentives,
how to apply for those incentives and
how much money to expect in return.
The experts at Carrier suggest
that those planning to install energy-
efcient technologies talk to a local
contractor about potential HVAC
purchases and take a look at www.
energy.gov/taxbreaks.htm or www.
dsireusa.org to learn about the rebate
programs available in their area.
Thats just the beginning. Energy-
efcient products can save you money
every time you use them. For example,
upgrading from an 80 percent efcient
furnace to a 98 percent efcient Innity
furnace from Carrier will signicantly
reduce monthly utility bills.
The same is true when switching to
a high-efciency air conditioner. When
paired with other cooling methods,
high-efciency AC can reduce a homes
energy use by 20 to 50 percent.
For more information on selecting
the optimal furnace, air conditioner,
heat pump or HVAC system for your
home, check out www.residential.
carrier.com.

Ludington-area residents are in for a rare
treat when the International Gold, Silver and
Diamond Buyers (IGSDB) host an event here
this week, from December 19th - 23rd, at
the Holiday Inn Express. The company has
identifed this region as prime territory for
purchasing your precious metalsespecially
gold and silver. The IGSDB estimates that
local residents have millions of dollars worth of
valuables that they no longer need or want. That
is where the IGSDB comes inthey specialize
in buying those items from local sellers in the
U.S., Canada and Europe.
Items like gold coins, scrap gold, sterling
silver and tea sets also diamond rings are in high
demand right now, and IGSDB is purchasing
massive quantities of them on behalf of their
global network of collectors, dealers and
refneries.
Currently on an international tour, IGSDB
has included Ludington on its list of stops for
this week. Residents are urged to mark their
calendar for this special opportunity to meet
one-on-one with gold, silver and diamond
specialists.
Because of IGSDBs low overhead,
extensive resources and massive volume, the
company is often able to pay out more than
other dealers and retailers. Many customers
are surprised at how much they are offered
for seemingly small amounts. I had two bent
herringbone necklaces, a class ring, and some
outdated earrings that I brought to a show. I
walked out with $425 in less than 15 minutes,
said a satisfed guest.
Providing an economic boost to each
region it visits, the IGSDB projects to pay out
$350,000 at each eventa testament to the
high volume of items they purchase and the
prime prices being paid. Offers are made
based on rarity, numismatic value, condition
and market value.
Company spokesman Matthew Enright
says, We just paid $4,700 for a loose 1.25
carat diamond. Our mission is to pay local
residents on the spot for sterling silverware, fne
jewelry, coins and precious metalsespecially
silver and gold. The company has seen a
huge infux of gold lately. Customers have
been scrambling to cash into the record-high
value of gold, adds Enright. For those who are
unsure if their items are genuine gold or silver,
or simply costume, company will test it for free.
The best strategy is to bring all items to the
show for a free evaluation from our specialists.
It always amazes me how a small handful of
gold and silver can turn into hundreds of dollars
in just a few moments. We test, weigh, and
buy items right on the spot, Enright says.
At a recent show, a smalltown dentist
had a nice pay day. I have been collecting
dental gold for years from patients who didnt
want their extracted teeth. It really added up
my check is for over $31,000! While most
people dont have buckets of dental gold at
their fngertips, they do have $750 worth of
scrap gold scattered throughout their homes or
mismatched earrings.
In addition to scrap gold, fne jewelry and
diamonds, coins are a big hit. Offers will be
made on all coins dated 1970 and earlier
gold coins, silver, silver dollars, half dollars,
quarters, nickels and dimes. Enright explains,
U.S. coins made before 1970 are worth
more than their legal tender amount because
they contain 90% silver. Rare dates and mint
marks can make them even more valuable.
We recently paid $78,000 for an amazing
coin collection. One couple brought in a rusty
coffee can flled with silver coins, sawdust,
and a dead spider. The can had been in the
basement for years. We were happy to send
them home with a check for more than $700!
Ludington-area residents should start
collecting their valuables now to bring to the
free event, which runs this Monday - Friday.
Deals will be made and money will be paid
on the spot. Attendance is expected to be
high, but no appointment is needed. Enright
encourages everyone to take advantage of
this special opportunity. He concludes, Its a
great chance for people to cash in their old
diamonds, jewelry, coins and scrap gold. This
is a sellers market, so dont miss out!
