Five Ways to Make Ends Meet

2011-09-07T13:24:00.000-07:00

(Family Features) In this economy, everyone could use a little extra cash to help cover the rising costs of food, fuel and just about everything else. Between work and raising a family, it may seem like there is no time, but here are five ways you can earn money on your own schedule.
Sell Products from Home. Direct selling is a popular way to earn money that allows you to be your own boss and enjoy a flexible schedule. Products range from cooking and jewelry items to health and beauty aids and more. Look for a company that is a member of the Direct Selling Association and that has products you feel good about promoting. Make sure to ask questions about compensation: there are many companies to choose from and some offer more lucrative pay than others.
One of the biggest benefits of direct selling is mobility; you can grow your business wherever you have contacts/relationships. XANGO is a global company that specializes in category-creating wellness products including premium mangosteen beverages, nutrition supplements and personal care products that are good for your family's wellness and financial health. XANGO does business in over 30 international markets so you can build income in your own community or grow a global business through international contacts.
Lisa Mullen's XANGO business provides much needed income during uncertain economic times. "I don't worry about paying my mortgage or filling the gas tank," says Lisa. "That kind of peace of mind is priceless." Find out more about direct selling at www.directselling411.com and more about XANGO at www.xango.com.
Freelance or E-lance. You don't have to put your skills to work in a 9 to 5 desk job. There are a number of websites that can help you find freelance work, and quite a bit of it can be done from home. Check out www.guru.com, www.odesk.com and www.elance.com to find potential clients and advertise your skills.
Tutoring. Tutoring can be more than just helping young students master math or English. Tutors can also help people learn a new skill. Your expertise in areas such as foreign languages, computers, music, sewing, art and more could help others learn and you earn.
Do What You Love. If you have a passion for cooking, start a catering or personal chef business. If you have a knack for handmade crafts or jewelry, there are online marketplaces that let you set up your own virtual shop and sell your products. Visit www.etsy.com, www.amazon.com or www.google.com/checkout to learn more about public marketplace opportunities.
Helping Hands. Just have a few hours per week or month? Start a side business doing yard work, housekeeping, handyman services or personal shopping. You may also consider starting a personal errand business, running errands for seniors or retirement community residents. Busy pet parents may need someone to walk their dogs during the work day or when they are on vacation. Print up some business cards and spread the word through friends and acquaintances.

How to Keep Warmth In and Pests Out

2011-09-06T13:32:00.000-07:00

(Family Features) When the temperature drops, people aren't the only ones looking for ways to stay warm. Pests seek warmth indoors, too.
Protect your home from unwanted visitors this winter with these simple home preparedness tips from Terminix, the country's largest provider of pest control services.
Seal pests out and warmth in.

Place weather stripping on the bottom of all exterior doors to ensure they seal tightly. Doors that do not have a tight seal can allow a variety of pests to enter the home and can allow warm air to escape.
Use caulk to seal any holes or cracks in your home's exterior. Large holes should be stuffed with steel wool or wire before sealing with caulk or other materials.
Eliminate cracks or openings around pipes and utility lines that enter the home. These are potential problem areas that can allow pests in and heated air out.
Close the flue damper when the fireplace isn't in use. An open damper can allow a large amount of air out and can be an entry point for a variety of insects, rodents and wildlife.
Ensure attic and foundation vents are equipped with tight-fitting 1/4-inch hardware cloth. This will help keep rodents at bay. Also install insect screening over windows, utility vents and other areas where small pests may slip through.

Check the exterior.

Move piles of firewood and other debris away from the home's foundation. Both provide ample sources of shelter for rodents and other pests such as termites, and could encourage them to live near the home.
Trim tree branches and shrubs away from the home. Rodents and other insects can scale rough surfaces like trees or large shrubs in order to access your home's roof or other entry points in the home's exterior.

Protect your investment.
Just because it's cooler, termites don't slow down their destructive behavior. Termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage each year, and most homeowners' insurance does not cover the damage.
It's essential to have an annual professional home inspection for termites from a reputable pest and termite control company. Prompt treatment and regular inspections can save thousands of dollars in damage repair. "Homeowners can ease their minds and protect their investment this winter by scheduling a proactive termite inspection and doing a few simple tasks to keep pests away," said Paul Curtis, Terminix entomologist. "The best tool to fight pests is prevention."
Additional tips for termite prevention:

Repair roof or plumbing leaks. The moisture from these allows termites to survive above ground.
Ensure gutters drain properly and direct moisture away from your foundation.
Keep mulch or soil away from your home's siding. It's best to have a barrier of a few inches.
Remove items like scrap lumber, boxes and even old books or newspapers from crawl spaces.
Maintain adequate ventilation in crawl spaces.

Care About Your Care - Nine Things You Can Do to Get Better Health Care

2011-09-02T17:11:00.000-07:00

Nine Things You Can Do to Get Better Health Care

(Family Features) TV's Dr. Mehmet Oz is joining the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and government health agencies this month to launch Care About Your Care, a nationwide effort to increase awareness about what people can do to recognize and receive quality health care. In every community, both good and bad care is being delivered, but there are things anyone can do to improve their health and health care. Here are nine tips:
Talk with your doctor or nurse. Share your beliefs and preferences for care. Make a list of all the questions you want to ask. Bring the list to each appointment and write down the answers. If you don't understand, ask again until you do.
Don't go alone. Take a friend or family member along to medical appointments. They can listen, take notes and help you remember what was said.
Learn about the best treatments for your condition. For many conditions like asthma, diabetes and heart disease, clear standards for treatment exist. Become familiar with what works for your condition. Learning more will help you understand what your doctor might look for or recommend, help you follow those recommendations and assist you in identifying what questions to ask during your appointment.
Find and use information on the quality of care provided by local doctors and hospitals to make health care decisions. Use information in publicly available reports to make decisions about doctors and hospitals. Look for a doctor who appears to provide the care you want for you and your family and is willing to work with you to make decisions. Look for a hospital that is highly rated by consumer groups or other organizations and has experience treating your condition.
Have one doctor or nurse coordinate your care. With one doctor or nurse who knows about all of the care you're getting, you're more likely to get the care you need and not get care that might be duplicative or harmful.
Create a medication list. List all medications and supplements you currently take, including over the counter medicines, prescriptions, vitamins and herbal remedies. Bring this list with you to every doctor's appointment.
Ask your doctor or nurse if they use health information technology - or Electronic Medical Records - to track and share information with your other health care providers. Tracking information electronically means all the information about your health is available to all your doctors, every time, no matter where you are. This reduces errors and unnecessary tests.
Know the difference between more care and better care. Sometimes, getting more care can actually do harm or expose you to unnecessary risks. If you think you may be getting more care than you need, protect yourself by asking: How will this help me? What will we find out from this test?
Take responsibility for your health care. Learn about quality care. Talk with your doctor and follow their recommendations.
For more information and to get the tools you need to improve your health care visit www.CareAboutYourCare.org.

Teens Offer Parenting Tips that Encourage Teen Driver Safety

2011-08-27T13:48:00.000-07:00

(Family Features) All too often, news headlines tell of another teen killed in a car crash. It is estimated that 35 percent of teen casualties are due to vehicular driving accidents, making it the leading cause of death among teenagers in the U.S., according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Through their participation in a high school program called Project Ignition, thousands of young people have stood up to this statistic and worked tirelessly to change the driving behaviors of their peers and broader communities.
If you have a teen driver in your family who you want to help become safer on the road, here are some tips from students in Project Ignition:
Open the lines of communication

Talk with your teen about distracted driving. Make sure you both understand what things are dangerous distractions.
Listen to your teen. Ask about what it's like being in the car with other teens, and what distractions there are to handle.

Offer support

Encourage your teen to use his or her voice. Role-play with your teen so that he can become comfortable saying things like, "We both want to live, so let me answer your phone or text while you drive."
Help your teen get involved with programs at school like Project Ignition, so that she can be a positive example and make an impact.

Set rules

Set family ground rules for texting and calling while driving. Your teen needs to know you have high expectations, and what the consequences will be if the rules aren't followed.
Know where your teen is going, who he will be with, and what time he is expected home.

Be a positive example

Model the behavior you want your teen to exhibit. If the phone rings while you're driving, don't answer it. Encourage your teen to answer your phone or text, allowing you to drive more safely.
Speak up about distracted driving to your friends and peers in front of your teen driver. Help set an example, spread the word and save lives.

Project Ignition, a service-learning program coordinated by the National Youth Leadership Council and funded by State Farm, makes grants available to public high schools in the U.S. and Canada. The program provides young people the opportunity and tools necessary to take the lead in addressing teen driver safety issues in their communities by linking public service to academic curriculum.
How it Works

Twenty-five schools will be chosen to receive $2,000 grants to support the implementation of teen driver safety awareness and engagement campaigns.
Ten of these 25 schools will be given $5,000 to sponsor their participation in a significant national conference or event. They will also be given the opportunity to receive an additional $2,500 to go deeper with their campaigns during the 2012-2013 school year.

Additional information and the grant application can be found at www.sfprojectignition.com. Applications are due November 15, 2011.

What Every Car Owner Should Know

(Family Features) Many car owners can expertly maneuver through rush hour traffic, but far fewer can expertly navigate their way under the hood. Automotive issues can leave many of us wondering "What's that sound?" and "Do I really need this repair?" or even worse, ignoring a problem altogether.

Championship Tips

Drew Torrey and Matt Saunders are the national champions of the 62nd annual Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills competition. Their automotive know-how helped them beat 10,000 other high school automotive technology students from across the country to earn the championship title and tens of thousands of dollars in automotive scholarships and tools. These highly qualified students offer the following advice to help car owners properly maintain their vehicles while protecting themselves, their passengers and their wallets.
Do a little light reading. Read your owner's manual and service booklet carefully. The auto manufacturer created this information specifically for your car, and it can answer a lot of questions, including which maintenance services you can do at home and which ones require a trained service technician. Heeding this advice can save you time and money in the long run.
Pump it up (or deflate it). Make sure your car's tires are inflated to the proper pressure (measured in pounds per square inch or PSI). Improperly inflated tires wear out more quickly and can increase the possibility of a dangerous blowout. To find the recommended inflation pressure for your tires, check the tire information decal that is likely located on the driver's doorjamb, or in your owner's manual. Do not, however, rely on the PSI figure molded into the sidewall of the tire. You'll need just one small tool-an air pressure gauge-to check your tire pressure.
Pay attention. Do not ignore your "check engine" light just because you don't know what it means. It can actually alert you to a variety of different problems, from a loose gas cap to a faulty oxygen (02) sensor. If the check engine light comes on, first tighten the gas cap to see if that solves your problem. If that doesn't work, visit your auto technician for further diagnosis, as the problems at-hand could cause increased exhaust emissions and decrease your fuel economy by up to 40 percent (according to the U.S. Department of Energy), potentially costing you more money in the long run than a professional repair would.
Put on the brakes. If your car's brakes squeak while you're driving but stop making noise when you apply pressure to the brake pedal, your brakes may be in need of professional service. Your auto technician will be able to make a definitive diagnosis, but it's possible you could need new front disc brake pads and additional brake system work.
Fill 'er up. If your car's automatic transmission seems to be shifting erratically you could be low on transmission fluid. You can check the level and add fluid using the procedures described in your owner's manual. If it's time to change the fluid, visit your local automotive shop. In either case, pay attention to this condition-ignoring a small problem with your transmission now could mean you'll have to shell out the money for a whole new one later on.

Smart Nutrition Tips

Advice from Sports Dietitian Leslie Bonci

(Family Features) A healthy lifestyle doesn't have to mean nibbling on bland fare. With strategic substitutions and smart snacking tips, you can still enjoy some favorite foods without compromising your nutritional goals.

"Eating healthy means enjoying a broad variety of foods and including carbs, protein and fat in your diet," says one of the country's most recognized sports dietitians, Leslie Bonci, who consults for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Milwaukee Brewers and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
With smart food swaps and tricks that add nutrients and flavor, Bonci can help you enjoy eating well without the extra pounds.
Stay hydrated. If you are on the go, drink cold water - it leaves your stomach and gets to the muscles faster, thus doing a better job of hydrating your body. Also, try swapping some of the foods on your menu for ones with liquid: Foods such as cold soups, many fruits, vegetables and applesauce take up more room in the stomach and can help keep you full longer. Consider making satisfying salads with grains like bulgur or brown rice, which also absorb a lot of liquid.
Allow yourself some indulgences. Enjoying foods you love is important to long-term success, and making smart choices doesn't mean sacrificing treats. Just opt for products that provide portion control and good calorie count. A pre-packaged better-for-you options like the ones from Weight Watchers Sweet Baked Goods is a great choice. All of the Weight Watchers sweet baked treats have 4 to 5 grams of fiber, contributing to your daily fiber requirements; and few people actually get the daily fiber requirement of 20 to 35 grams. Also, the Weight Watchers Sweet Baked Goods have no trans fat and are good on the go. I enjoy them as part of my morning and afternoon snacks or as an easy, sensible dessert. Learn more at www.weightwatchers.com/sensiblefoods.
Taste the rainbow. Eating a variety of colorful foods increases the nutrient richness of your diet, contributes to your daily fluid requirements and provides carbohydrates for fuel. Here's a quick rundown of the colors you should look for:

Dark green: Leafy greens such as spinach, kale and romaine are great sources of vitamin K for bone and eye health.
Orange: Peaches, nectarines and cantaloupe contain natural carotenoid pigments for lung and skin health.
Yellow: This is corn time, folks, and corn is a great source of lutein for eye health.
Red: Tomatoes offer vitamin C and lycopene.
Deep red or purple: Plums, cherries and berries all boost heart health.

Get creative with nature's bounty. When you grill, think beyond protein. Grill vegetables and fruit, or add chopped pineapple or mango to salsa to top fish or chicken.
Seek balance. Fuel your body on a regular basis and include foods from each macronutrient group every time you sit down to eat. That means carbohydrate-, protein- and fat-containing foods. Try to divide your plate this way: a bit less than half of your plate for fruit and vegetables, one third for lean protein (beef, pork, poultry, fish, low-fat dairy, eggs or soy foods) and the remainder for grains (pasta, rice or bulgur). Don't omit fat - just use a little to enhance flavor. Olive oil, nuts or a thin spread of nut butter are all good choices. If you really want that ice cream or that glass of wine, have it instead of the grain, not in addition.
Forget bland condiments. If you want to eat better, spice things up. Healthful spices include cinnamon, turmeric, ginger and oregano. You can use spices to add flavor to your dishes or drinks while cutting the amount of calorie-rich ingredients such as oil and sugar. Try mixing spices, citrus and fresh herbs to perk up any vegetarian fare.
Be prepared with portable snacks. It can be hard to eat better when you travel, so keep handy a survival kit that includes non-perishable protein and carbohydrate-containing foods. If you are a busy parent on-the-go or work long hours, throw some of these snacks in your bag to avoid fast-food restaurants and vending machines. A few good options: Foods with protein - jerky, packs of tuna or salmon requiring no can opener, roasted soy nuts, seeds and small cans of bean dip with a pop-top for easy opening. Carbohydrate-containing foods - packs of oatmeal, prepackaged cereal and homemade trail mix.

Put your fork down between bites and chew. Feel the texture, notice the flavors, and savor the food. Preparing foods that require chewing harder will give you more time to eat and allow your brain to register you are full. It takes at least 20 minutes after eating for your stomach to tell your brain that it is full, but most of us finish a meal in 10 minutes. Give your stomach time to catch up to your brain by slowing down your eating. It will take longer to finish a meal, leaving less time for a second helping.

Enjoying a portion-controlled treat is a good way to indulge without overdoing it.

Five Lifestyle Tips to Help You Shape Up Before Summer

2011-06-05T01:09:00.000-07:00

(Family Features) If you are looking for new ways to eat better and shape up before the summer arrives, learn from healthy-living blogger Roni Noone. Six years ago, Noone lost weight with Weight Watchers and ever since she has been an inspiration for people trying to live a healthier lifestyle. Here are a few of the tips that have made her successful.

1. Take it one choice at a time - I always say one goal, one day, one choice at a time. All of those good choices add up. If you happen to make the wrong decision, admit it and move on. You will learn from that bad choice. As long as you are making more good choices then bad, you are on your way. Every new choice is just that, new. It has nothing to do with what you ate for lunch.

2. Rearrange Your Refrigerator - How many times have you bought fresh groceries only to have them rot in your refrigerator drawers? It's probably time to rearrange the fridge. Put all the fresh, healthy stuff at eye level. Make it the first thing you see when you open the door. This way you are more apt to grab that apple or bag of carrot sticks when you are hunting for something to snack on.

3. Be Prepared for Snack Attacks - When cravings strike, be smart and choose snacks that combine portion-control and taste. For example, I enjoy Weight Watchers Ice Cream. These creamy treats are made with real low-fat ice cream or frozen yogurt and are for everyone in the family. I like the Weight Watchers Strawberry Smoothie Bar which blends low-fat frozen yogurt and real strawberries. A good source of vitamin C at just 60 calories. Having snacks like these on hand makes it even easier to stay on track.

4. Get Creative - Getting creative in the kitchen can save you calories and money. For example, if you crave fries, make them with butter squash; if you crave pizza, use a whole grain tortilla instead of dough. Chips and dip more your thing? Slice up some veggies and dip them in hummus. The goal is to make healthier choices.

5. Find Your Tribe - Do your best to surround yourself physically or virtually with people who will support you. Ask your spouse to join you in after-dinner walks. Try to get your family into more activities. Get people you love involved and if they aren't game, attend a few workout classes and introduce yourself. Search for local groups online. Finding your tribe will help you not feel so alone while you make certain lifestyle changes.

no? Sigurado lagi kayong
bagsak
sakin.

64. Kung ano man po ang
kasalanan ko ay kasalanan niyo rin. Boss ko
kayo eh.

65. Maglinis
naman po kayo ng table niyo.

66. Hoy! Ikaw, halika nga rito at tulungan
mo ko!

67. Saang planeta po ba kayo nanggaling at hindi ninyo alam
ito?

68. Ano naman ang mapapala ko kung gagawin ko to?

69.
Inaantok ak! o. Tulog po muna ko ha?

70. Bakit ganyan po kayo magsalita?
Napo- possess ba kayo ng masamang
ispirito?

71. Sir, umabsent naman po
kayo paminsan-minsan. Masaya po kasi ang

office pag wala kayo

>3 Lazy Sunday

2010-11-21T20:07:00.000-08:00

Sunday...lazy Sunday. I am back infront of my computer..thinking of what I need to do. Might as well write what I have in mind. Blog reminds me of my Friendster account. I know I had created a blog in there so I checked and open my friendster account. Wow, 'twas months that I didn't visit my account. I opened the blog that I made and it amazed me, I had been doing this since 2005, though it was not a month by month basis. Whenever I felt like sharing whatever I think of. I might be posting some of them here to share what I wrote before. Crazy ideas, frustrations, happiness. My favorite songs. Anything under the sun.

Oh my, I just realized I didn't finish what I am writing. It's 8:05PM. What? Yeah...I had a small talk with my employer...offered a project to do so...

Dinner with Ron, Filipino Vegies, dumpling...hot tea before bed time. Need to be in bed now..

Coffee makes us awake, is it true?

It is 1:19am and I am still wide awake. This is the fault of the coffee I drank today. Pumpkin Spice Latte. This is only offered during the Christmas season. I had the privilege to get a take one free. It was raining hard when we got to the Starbucks coffee shop. We had to beat the 5pm deadline. Out of the blue we just decided to have coffee. Well, its nice to not plan anything; my husband would just say yes and off we go, ha ha.

Thinking of topics to write in my blog keeps me awake. I am just so into pushing myself to write and see if I have this creative mind in writing on what I feel, what I see and what I want to share to you. I have a lot of things in my mind. This blog doesn't have any one topic....I want to share, and from here we can exchange ideas, share experiences.

I had been writing before, I had created a blog in my friendster and multiply account. It was like a journal to me...nothing. Now I noticed that there's something into blogging or shall I say having your own website? Unlike before, our diaries are locked so no other person can read what we have written. It depends?

That is why people drink coffee when they work late. Or when you are in a night shift. I think it's all in the mind. Some drink coffee to make them awake. Some drink coffee to put them into sleep. Ahhhh whatever.

Good morning! I still have 5 hours to sleep. Keep you posted on my next topic.
