There is no denying that

Irish eyes are smiling

come the month of

March. With the widely cele-

brated and festive Saint Patrick's

Day arriving mid-month, the

parades and shamrocks might

overshadow the fact that there's

more to Irish heritage than SaintPatrick's Day. In fact, the entire

month of March is dedicated to

Irish-American heritage.

In 1840, many Irish people

immigrated to North America to

escape the great potato famine

happening in Ireland. Today

almost 40 million people claim

Irish ancestry, and there are mil-

lions of Irish-Americans making

contributions to the United States

each and every day, with notableIrish-Americans in all walks of

life. Here are just a handful of peo-

ple of Irish heritage who have

made strides in their respective

disciplines through the years.

•Charles Carroll III: Carroll was

born in Maryland where there

were once laws to prohibit

Catholics from voting, holding

office or worshiping publicly.

Carroll became a Catholic-rights

activist and also served as a U.S.

Senator in the first Congress. He

holds the title as the only

Catholic to have signed the

Declaration of Independence.

•Harry "Bing" Crosby: Crosbywas an acclaimed entertainer

whose contributions are still val-

ued today, more than three

decades after his death. A singer

and actor, his trademark smooth,

baritone voice helped catapult

Crosby to the list of top record

sellers for the twentieth century.

One of the first people to receive

three stars on the Hollywood

Walk of Fame, Crosby also

earned an Academy Award forBest Actor for his role as Father

Chuck O'Malley in the 1944

motion picture "Going My Way."

•Henry Ford: The American

auto industry can give thanks to

the eviction of John Ford from

Cork in 1847, which enabled the

Ford family to move to the States

shortly after. John's son Henry

became an automobile pioneer

and helped pave the way for the

dominance and popularity of the

American car.

•John Hughes: Many people saythat Hughes' popular teen movies

documented their own teenage

years. Hughes is best known for a

string of quirky, yet spot-on depic-

tions of the average American

teenager that helped start the

careers of actors who would go on

to be known as the "Brat Pack". In

the 1990s, hits like "Home Alone"

and "Curly Sue" also resonated

with audiences and helped solidify

Hughes as a leader in family enter-

tainment. He passed away in 2009

from a heart attack.•Ron Howard: One of Holly-

wood's most successful directors,

Howard can also lay claim to

being one of its most successful

child actors. Appearing in his first

film in 1956 at just 18 months old,

Howard went on to memorable

Do you remember your

first real “career” job?

Were you bright-eyed

and ready to take on the world,

claim your stake, make yourstand, carve-out your place in

the working world and create

your path to financial inde-

pendence? Were you charged-

up, enthused, motivated, stim-

ulated and in great anticipa-

tion of your first real seriouspaycheck? How did it feel

when the payroll cycle came to

pass and you looked at the

paystub for the first time to

realize the terms: FICA, FED

WITH, SUI, STATE TAX,

ESOP or UNION DUES orPENSION CONT or 401k

withdrawal and how that

reduced your gross pay result-

ing in that minimal net pay fig-

ure? Were you let down? Did

you think they must have

made a mistake? How could itbe possible that there are so

many and such severe deduc-

tions? Will I get some of that

back at tax return time? Did

you try to play with your

exemption status to increase

the net pay? And from the netpay there were the constant

and never ending utility bills,

car insurance payments, loan

payments, credit card bills,

rent or mortgage payments, car

repairs, food bills and enter-

tainment expenses like dating,

travel and vacations.

Did you tell yourself that

retirement is decades away and

that eventually you would get

serious about it when youcould afford to seriously

address it or when you got a

raise or bonus? Were you cor-

rect and did you keep your

promise? Were you relieved

when you found your spouse

and soul mate to share your

lives together and to pool your

resources for the greater good,

including bill paying relief and

the ability to make a serious

consideration to retirementallocations? Did you allocate

serious funds to your retire-

ment planning and portfolio at

that time? Did your spouse and

working partner eventually get

pregnant and leave the work

force to be a more involved

parent saying that when the

child was old enough for

school she would re-enter the

work force to allocate serious

funding for retirement plan-

ning at that time? Did it cometo pass or were those great

intentions derailed by the birth

of your second child. By now

you had found a better job or

received bonuses and raises;

did you carve-out a major per-

centage of the raises and

bonuses explicitly for retire-

ment funding yet?

Were there extracurricu-

lar activities like dance classes,

music instruction, and karatelessons, summer camp, winter

skiing or educational tutoring?

Is financial independence an illusion? By Mark Charnet

continued on next page



These expenses no doubt cut

into funds that otherwise

would have been directed to

IRA’s or other retirement accu-

mulations. The kids got olderand now college tuition plan-

ning entered the foray also

deriding the retirement accu-

mulation desires. Along the

way, cost of living expenses

rose, property taxes increased,

pay raises and bonuses were

less plentiful or eliminated

altogether. Before you know it

25 years have passed since that

first paycheck! You sit back

and critique your ambitions,

decisions, successes and fail-

ures and more importantly the

account balances and portfolio

values. What do I do now you

may ask? You’re about 50 andretirement is looking more like

an illusion rather than a right!

You rationalize this with the

fact that you’ll work to age 70,

giving you 20 more years to

accumulate your fortune.

Perhaps there will be a small

inheritance from either your

parents or hers to give you a

retirement boost, and if I delay

Social Security that ultimate

check will be bigger anyway!

The stock market hasn’t been

too friendly to your 401k any-

way, or to your non-qualified

portfolio either. Now will be a

great time to get started yousay. College tuition is firmly

upon you now and the

prospects for future employ-

ment with your current

employer or other companies

in your industry are shaky at

best. Your property taxes are

now 5 times more than your

first home and the price of a

car has quintupled since your

first car purchase. Lo and

behold, you are paying to

insure 4 cars now, yours, hers

and the two kids. Perhaps

you’ve thought to start a veg-etable garden to save some

money at the grocery store

which has escalated your food

budget by 300% over the last

25 years. At this point in your

life you fully understand the

erosion factures of inflation.

You begin to calculate the

required nest egg to be able to

generate enough monthly

income for you and your part-

ner to live modestly for the rest

of your natural lives. The con-

clusion is you need help; you

need a competent financialadvisor! In fact, you need an

expert to put the pieces of your

financial puzzle in order before

it’s too late, a retirement and

estate planning specialist that

has the knowledge and ability

to craft a guaranteed* lifetime

retirement income plan from

the assets you’ve been able to

accumulate throughout your

life. You might be saying: I’ve

tried this on my own for the

last 25 years and now the fore-

gone conclusion is by not using

a financial professional I amexactly where I planned to be.

I need help, now, I understand

now, I am ready to acquiesce

now, and I will make that call,

make the appointment and

keep it. I cannot afford not to.

Financial Independence need

not be an illusion; it can be

Scientists have identi-

fied two substances in

licorice used exten-

sively in Chinese traditional

medicine that kills major

bacteria responsible for tooth

decay and gum disease. In a

study, in the Journal of

Natural products, they say

these substances could have a

role in treating and prevent-

ing these afflictions.

The study found that

the compounds Licoricidin

and Licorisoflavan A were

the most effective antibacter-

ial substance. These are

capable of killing two of the

major bacteria responsible for

cavities and three of the bac-

teria that promote gum dis-

ease.

The dried root of the

licorice plant is a common

treatment in Chinese tradi-

tional medicine. Licorice

candy in the U.S. hasreplaced licorice root with

anise oil that tastes similar.

Some day licorice root could

be used to treat or even pre-

vent oral infections.

Did you ever notice

the little boy on the

soccer field who just

could not quite kick the ball,

tripped over people and had

poor coordination when try-

ing to dribble? Or the little

girl in ballet class who had a

difficult time imitating the

teacher’s body movements

and sequencing the dance

steps? What about the first

grader on the playground

who constantly barged into

other children and just didn’t

seem to see obstacles in front

of him causing him to trip

and fall constantly? Most

people refer to these children

as clumsy, but there may be a

better explanation.

For the last 100 years

poor motor coordination or

clumsiness has been recog-

nized as a problem. Recently,

the term Developmental

Coordination Disorder

(DCD) has been used when

referring to children with

motor coordination difficul-

ties. This is a fairly common

childhood disorder and is

usually identified in school

age children between the

ages of 6-12. Studies indicate

that the prevalence of DCD

is estimated at 8-12% of all

school- aged children with

more boys diagnosed than

girls (2:1). As a result of the

wide diversity in the DCD

diagnosis, finding its true

cause has been difficult and is

unknown at this time. Some

speculate that DCD can becaused by an injury that

occurs before or during the

birthing process. Others say

that DCD is a result of dam-

age on the cellular level.

In order for a child to be

diagnosed with DCD it must

impact on some aspect of his

or her life. These children

often exhibit poor balance,

tripping on uneven surfaces,

an awkward running pattern,

dropping items, frequent trip-

ping and falling, difficulty

imitating body positions and

following 2-3 step motor

directions. These motor

problems will affect the

child’s ability to complete

motor oriented tasks. Be-

cause of these problems, chil-

dren often perform poorly in

sports demonstrating slow

reaction and movement

times. Since these children

do not feel successful when

participating in sports, they

may feel insecure. This inse-

curity can lead to a more

sedentary lifestyle for thechild thus causing poor mus-

cular strength, decreased

muscle force and ultimately

weight gain. Unfortunately,

children with DCD may

experience other difficulties,

besides the physical limita-

tions. These children may

exhibit psychosocial prob-

lems. Because these children

Why does my child seem so uncoordinated/awkward? By Gena Livingston




How common is a

headache? Accor-

ding to recent scien-

tific studies, it is becoming

alarmingly common!

Research from Finland

shows the incidence of both

general and migraine head-

ache in children increased

markedly between 1974 and

1992. Using the same

methodology and school envi-

ronments in both studies,

researchers found in 1974

about 14% of a large sample of

7-year old children suffered

from headache and less than

2% from migraine. In 1992

these figures leaped almost

four-fold to 52% for headache

and 6% for migraine.

American researchers,

using national statistics,

reported the prevalence for

migraine in the adult popula-

tion increased about 60%

from 1980 to 1989. The high-

est increase was found in

women younger than 45 years.

A third study, also from the

United States, revealed a

sharp increase of migraine

between 1979 and 1991 in

persons under 45 years, a jump

of 34% in women and nearly

100% in men.

Several theories have

been suggested to help explain

these startling statistics.

Increased stress in our lives,

both for adults and children, is

one of the more common.

This theory lacks credibility,

however, as many authorities

agree the factors that con-

tribute to stress have not

changed significantly over the

past decades. More likely the

dramatic increase in headache

is multifactoral: diet, fitness

level, rest, pollution and aller-

gy, time spent sitting at desks,

computer screens and watch-

ing television and, yes, stress.

Perhaps the single most

important factor may be pos-

ture. Simply put, we slouch

more. Research is now show-

ing posture affects not only

muscle and joint function, but

also function of the nervous

system. We are learning that

the static (postural, structural)

and dynamic (mechanical,

functional) state of our necks

has a profound relationship to

headache, both general and

migraine. Fortunately, pos-

ture, like diet, fitness, sleep

Adolescents with DCD have

been found to have fewer

friends, lower self esteem and

more anxiety than their peers

without DCD.

Historically parents

have been told not to worry

about their child’s clumsi-

the problem. However, cur-

rent research states that chil-

dren do not outgrow clumsi-

Motor control processes

are complex and depend on

integrating the sensory, per-

systems. A skilled Pediatric

Physical Therapist can work

on integrating all of these

systems to assist the child in

working toward age appropri-

breaking down components

of a task, practicing each

component repetitively and

translating the new skill into

the child’s natural environ-

be greatly improved, confi-

enhanced and enthusiasm

Why does my child seem so uncoordinated/awkward?


Increasing prevalence of headache




In the last article we learned

that dogs become senior cit-

izens just like people. The

same is true for our feline fami-

ly members. As veterinary

medicine advances, our cats are

living longer, and certain

changes are expected as our

cats’ age. These don’t have to

be negative changes. We can

help them adapt with minimal

effort by diagnosing problems

early, modifying the cat's envi-

ronment, diet and interaction

with us.

Age itself is not a disease

but the following are issues that

are more common in our senior

cats. Addressing these changes

and diagnosing diseases early

are essential to the health of

your older cat. Preventative

veterinary care can add years

and quality to the life of your

cat, which can include early

detection blood work and com-

plete veterinary exams every 6

months for our senior pets.

Arthritis is one of the

most under diagnosed diseases

in older cats. The changes are

very subtle and older cats are

more sedentary which makes it

very difficult to observe if

they’re having joint pain.

What you may see is difficulty

jumping onto counters, win-

dow sills or going up and down

stairs. This may lead to other

problems like not using the lit-

ter box, especial-

ly if they have to

travel up or down

stairs to get to it

or if the litter box

has high sides.

Cats are sensitive

to many anti-

in f l ammatory

medications such

as aspirin and

acetaminophen.

Do NOT give

your cat an anti-inflammatory

or pain relief medication unless

prescribed by your veterinari-

an. A very safe and effective

supplement to start them on is

glucosamine and chondroitin

(as prescribed from your veteri-

narian). Also make sure their

litter box and bowls are on the

same level of the house where

they spend most of their time.

Obesity is one of the main

health problems of middle age

cats. This should be addressed

early because, as a senior, it can

predispose them to diseases like

diabetes and heart disease or

just make other issues worse

like arthritis. It’s harder to get

the weight off a senior cat, so

do it now by measuring the

food given, not just keeping the

bowl full and by increasing

their exercise.A veterinarian

can help you monitor their

weight and body condition and

adjust the diet accordingly.

Dental disease is one of

the most common changes we

see in senior citizen cats. By the

age of four, more than 70 per-

cent of cats exhibit signs of

dental disease. Preventative

dental care including tooth

brushing, dental treats, regular

dental checkups, and profes-

sional cleaning as needed are

aimed at keeping dental disease

to a minimum.

Without proper

dental care, signif-

icant dental dis-

ease can develop

which could lead

to pain and life-

threatening com-

plications.

Older cats

may need to be

groomed more

often. Groom-ing

is a great way for you to spend

enjoyable time with your older

cat and is a means to check for

any lumps, bumps, sores,

etc. In an older cat, the fur may

become thinner or duller; how-

ever, this can also be a sign of

disease or nutritional deficien-

cy. If your cat’s coat changes

significantly, you should con-

sult with a veterinarian.

A n o t h e r

change to closely

monitor for is

increased thirst

or urination. This

may be the earli-

est sign seen in

older cats for

many diseases,

most commonly,

kidney insufficiency, diabetes

mellitus and hyperthy-

roidism. These diseases can be

detected even earlier with early

detection/wellness blood work

which can be performed at your

cat’s 6 or 12 month exams.

Many diseases tested for with

this type of panel are simply

and effectively treatable with-

out ‘putting the cat through a

lot’. By finding disease process-

es early, oftentimes there is a

better prognosis for a longer

and happier life.

Our senior cats need to be

monitored more closely.

Knowing what changes to

expect and what to look for can

help you and your cat adjust

when and if they do come.

Don’t disregard any changes as

'just being old age.' These could

be early signs of a more serious

disease. Always consult your

veterinarian if you are in doubt

or notice changes. We owe it

to our longtime companions to

take care of them in their sen-

ior years as much as we did

when they were kittens.

In a press release from

January 31, 2012, IRS com-

missioner Doug Shulman

announced the results of a

nationwide effort to cut down

on identity theft and refund

fraud. The IRS worked in con-

junction with the Justice

Department's Tax Division and

local U.S. Attorneys' offices to

target more than one hundred

people across twenty-three

states. The sweep resulted in

939 criminal charges against

would-be tax frauds.

In addition to the sweep,

IRS auditors and investigators

visited approximately 150

money-service businesses to

conduct extensive compliance

visits and insure these business-

es aren't engaged in practices

which may facilitate refund

fraud and identity theft.

Taxpayer identity theft

normally occurs when a thief

uses a legitimate taxpayer's

identity to falsely file a tax

return and claim a refund. A

victim of identity theft is rarely

aware their identity has been

stolen until he or she attempts

to file a legitimate return later

in the tax season and discovers

that another return has already

been filed using their Social

Security Number.

If you receive an IRS noti-

fication for any of the following

reasons, you should take imme-

diate action:

More than one return was filed

for you in a single tax year

You have a balance due,

refund offset or have had col-

lection actions taken against

you for a year you did not file a

tax return, or

IRS records indicate you

received wages from an

employer unknown to you.

Immediately respond to the

name and number printed on

the letter if you receive such

notification.

The IRS advises you to mini-

mize your risk of identity theft

by:

Rarely carrying your

Social Security card or docu-

ments with your SSN on them.

Disclosing your SSN only

when required. Many business-

es may ask for your SSN but do

not actually need it. Do not

give out your SSN unless

absolutely necessary.

Protecting your financial infor-

mation, both online and in

print.

Checking your credit

report periodically. You may

check your credit without

charge once a year at

www.equifax.com, www.exper-

ian.com, or

www.transunion.com . By using

each of these services only once

each year, you can actually

check your credit report every

four months.

Protecting your personal

computers using firewalls, anti-

spam and anti-virus software.

Keep your software current via

frequent updates. Use secure

passwords and change them

often.

By taking action against

tax fraud criminals, Comm-

issioner Shulman sends a clear

message to anyone considering

participation in a tax fraud

scheme. He said, "We are

aggressively pursuing cases

across the nation with the

Justice Department, and people

will be going to jail". The IRS

is taking additional steps to

prevent identity theft and

detect fraud by using new iden-

tity-theft screening filters and

placing identity-theft indica-

tors on taxpayer accounts to

"We go the extra mile

to give you a healthy smile"

IRS cracks down on identity theft nationwide By Robert Sokoloff, CPA




Many parents can

attest to the chal-

lenges in encourag-

ing children to eat healthily,

including incorporating plenty

of fruits and vegetables into

their daily diets.

Children tend to become

picky eaters for a number of

reasons, according to the

UCSF Benioff Children's

Hospital. Some children are

just naturally more sensitive to

taste, texture and smell of some

foods. Others may learn their

picky eating from parents who

pick and choose among their

meals. Still other children

learn to be selective through

bribes and punishments around

mealtime.

However, there needn't

been fussing and feuding over

food choices -- particularly pro-

duce -- when parents employ a

few creative ideas to entice

children to dig into healthy

foods.

1.Ask for your child's help:

Have your child ride along to

the grocery store and take an

active role into picking out

healthy foods that he or she

may be willing to try. Most

nutrition experts find that if

children take an interest in

what they will be eating, and

are instrumental in making

some choices, they will have a

higher rate of eating those

meals and foods.

2.Understand your child's eat-

ing habits: Some children will

eat the crown of broccoli but

leave aside the stems. There are

kids that will eat anything as

long as it's dunked in ketchup.

They may enjoy pears as long as

they are cut up into pieces with

the skin removed. Pay atten-

tion to how your child likes to

eat the food and present it that

way. It could mean fewer argu-

ments at the dinner table.

3.Explore new flavor combina-

tions: Oftentimes mixing cer-

tain flavor combinations can

entice children to eat foods

they may have never consid-

ered trying. Just think about

the popularity of fruit juices

mixed with vegetable purees.

Some children have an inclina-

tion toward favorite flavors or

just can benefit from a little

variety, which can sometimes

prove challenging when pro-

duce is out of season. Try

Grapple(R) brand apples,

which combine the fresh,

familiar flavor of Washing-ton

apples with the aroma and taste

of concord grapes. Through a

patented process, premium

Washing-ton State apples are

infused with grape flavor to cre-

ate a product that "Crunches

like an Apple, Tastes like a

Grape(TM)." The health ben-

efits of Grapples are just the

same as other variety of apples,

and there is no artificial ingre-

dients added or genetic alter-

ing. The process of making

them does not add any extra

sugar, calories, carbohydrates or

anything else; in fact the apple

maintains its natural supply of

R E G I S T R A T I O NMake fruits fun for kids

Add a fun twist to a favorite fruit.




Neil Simon's 1965

classic is considered

to be his best come-

dy. Set in New York during a

hot 1960’s summer, the story

follows the adventures of

two mismatched roommates;

Felix Ungar, a neurotic fuss-

pot news writer, and Oscar

Madison, a slovenly sports

journalist. The men attempt

to adapt to each other’s idio-

syncrasies, all the while try-

ing to rekindle their social

lives… with side-splitting

results! Don’t miss this per-

formance at the Rhino

vitamins, minerals, nutrients,

and fiber. Parents can rest

assured that all ingredients

have been approved by the

USDA and the FDA.

4.Try creative presentations:

Simply presenting the foods in

a unique way can make them

fun to eat. Try making fruit cre-

ations, such as "snowmen" out

of stacked grapes, or orange and

peach skewers. Children may

be more inclined to drinking

fruit smoothies mixed with

yogurt, or giving foods fun

names, such as banana bombs,

which are just chunks of

banana rolled in honey and

granola. All it may take is cre-

ating a fruit face on a plate with

different fruits resembling fea-

tures. Try kiwi eyes, Grapple

slices for a mouth, a blueberry

nose, or whatever you come up

with.

5.Be patient with new foods: It

can take a few attempts and

repeated exposure to get chil-

dren to try new foods, says the

Mayo Clinic. Serve new foods

along with children's favorite

foods, like Grapple slices added

to a peanut butter sandwich.

More information is avail-

able by calling 1-800-232-2636

or visiting www.grapplefruits

.com and Facebook at

http://www.facebook.com/Grap

plebrandapples. Grapple brand

apples are available in many

grocery stores nationwide from

October through May.

Here are more ideas about

incorporating these apples in

tasty snacks.

Crunch Grapple Slices

Core, cut and slice 2

Grapples, crush 1/2 c of your

favorite cereal like Chex or

Rice Krispies, mix 1 tea-

spoons packed brown sugar

and 2 tablespoons peanut

butter together. Spread the

brown sugar and peanut but-

ter onto Grapple slices and

roll in cereal.

Grapple Kabobs

Core, quarter and cube a

Grapple. Slice some cheese

into similarly sized cubes.

Skewer the apples and cheese

alternately on toothpicks,

adding a raisin or other dried

fruit. If packing for school

lunch, dip the apples into a lit-

tle lemonade first to keep them

from turning brown.

Dried Grapples

You can easily dry your own

apples without any preserva-

tives. Cut a Grapple into 1/4

inch thick slices. Dip them into

a bowl of lemon water or

lemonade. Spread out on a

metal rack and set into a warm

oven (180 F) for two or three

hours. Turn off the oven and let

them cool.

Baked Grapples

Place a cored apple in a but-

tered ramekin. Add 1 tea-

spoon of butter, 1 teaspoon of

brown sugar and a 1/4 tea-

spoon of cinnamon into the

center hole. Bake at 350

degrees for about 45 minutes.

Cool for 10 minutes.

Homeowners often

look to make

improvements on

their homes to advance aes-

thetics, save money or make

their homes more energy effi-

cient. What they may not

know is that certain home

improvements may qualify

them for manufacturer or

energy supplier rebates and

even federal tax credits that

can help a person save even

more.

Not all products are eli-

gible each year, so it's benefi-

cial to know what tax incen-

tives are out there regarding

home retrofits. Here are

some programs to keep in

mind.

U.S. residents who

made home improvements in

2011 may be eligible for tax

credits when filing a 2011 tax

return. Installation and

replacement of biomass

stoves, HVAC systems, insu-

lation, metal and asphalt

roofs, nonsolar water heaters

and windows/doors can earna person up to 10 percent of

the cost, up to $500, or a spe-

cific amount from $50 to

$300. Improvements must

have been done to an exist-

ing home and principal resi-

dence by December 31, 2011.

Federal tax credits for

2012 include geothermal

heat pumps. These are simi-

lar to ordinary heat pumps,

but use the ground instead of

outside air to provide heat-

ing, air conditioning and, in

most cases, hot water. Use of

small residential wind tur-

bines and solar energy sys-

tems, including solar water

heaters and photovoltaic

panels, are also eligible.

These tax credits offer 30

percent of the cost of the

renovation with no upper

limit.

Visit http://Energy.gov

/savings to determine any

additional rebate and savings

programs that may be offered

in your state. Homeowners

looking to do improvements

can go online or consult with

a tax professional to deter-

mine which improvements

may be eligible for tax credits

or incentives. With the ener-

gy saved and the credit, it

could add up to considerable

savings on the new product.

Home improvementseligible for tax breaks or rebates

Installation of insulation and other energy-saving products could

make you eligible for a tax rebate.

Whether the kids

have all grown up

and moved out or

if the kids are on the way and

it's time to expand a living

area, building a new home is

an exciting, yet often agoniz-

ing, experience. The reasons

for building a new home are

many, but regardless of the

reason, the process of choos-ing a builder should remain

the same.

Andrew Nadalin, presi-

dent of Pace 2000 Inc. and a

fourth generation builder

and craftsmen, offers the fol-

lowing advice to prospective

homeowners with their eyes

set on building a dream home

to call their own.

•Look for a builder with a

solid reputation. A builder'sreputation speaks volumes,

but it doesn't have to speak

for itself. That's because a

builder who has spent years

providing personal service,

innovative design and quali-

ty workmanship will no

doubt have a host of happy

former customers ready and

willing to offer their input. If

during the interview process

a builder appears reticent to

share his work or experienceswith previous customers, this

should be a red flag.

Reputable builders will be

proud of their work and more

than willing to show it off.

• Find a builder who is flexi-

ble. You will be paying to

build your home, not the

builder's home. A builder

should be flexible and ready

and willing to meet your

needs, no matter how uniquethey might be.

•Look for a builder who does

more than build. A good

builder should do more than

just build. A builder should

provide a network of quali-

fied professionals to make

the process go more smooth-

ly. This network should

include real estate and build-

ing consultants, interior

designers, architects and

engineers. Such connectionscan provide peace of mind

and will also illustrate that a

builder is both respected in

the community and is intent

on ensuring your home

becomes the dream home

you envision it to be.

•Don't build on the cheap.

Buyers who plan to build

their own home are in the

unique position to ensure

their home is as safe andhigh-quality as possible. This

isn't always the case when

buying a resale, so make the

most of your opportunity and

use only top-of-the-line con-

struction materials and fea-

tures and choose a builder

with experience in working

with such materials and fea-

tures. Building on the cheap

could prove disastrous in the

not too distant future, so

don't sacrifice on qualitywhen building a new home.

More information on

selecting the right builder is

available online at www.

pace2000homes.com.

On St. Patrick's Day,

have a little fun in

with a traditional

Irish twist. Whether you're

Irish or not, enjoy the festiv-

ities with some entertain-

ment and food.

Because green is the

color of choice on this festive

day, one of the easiest ways

to celebrate in the Irish styleis to incorporate the color in

as many ways as possible --

even in food. Course after

course and meal after meal

you can add a hint of green

to the foods your family

enjoys. With a little bottle of

green food coloring, it's

amazing what you can

achieve.

Breakfast Ideas:•Tint milk green, whether in

a glass or in a bowl of cereal.

(Serve with "Lucky Charms"

perhaps?)

•Channel your inner Dr.

Seuss by turning scrambled

eggs into "green eggs and

ham."

•Make a green smoothie

with yogurt, juice and a

banana, with a few drops of

coloring added.•Butter toast with green-

tinted butter.

Lunch Ideas:

•Make pizza or pasta with a

green pesto sauce.

•Serve olive loaf instead of

bologna in a sandwich. It has

circles of green olives

throughout.

•Make sure kids' juice boxes

are a green-colored variety.

•Create a fruit salad with

mostly green fruits, such asgreen grapes, kiwis, honey-

dew melon, and green apples.

•Baked potatoes topped with

green-tinted sour cream and

chives will be a winner.

Dinner Ideas:

•A vegetable medley of

green veggies, like spinach,

broccoli, asparagus, and more

can be served as a side dish or

mixed as a casserole.•While corned beef and cab-

bage are traditional Irish

dishes, tint the cabbage

green for a little more flair.

•Green food coloring added

to mashed potatoes can liven

mealtime up.

•Make homemade Irish soda

bread or another bread to

serve at dinner and add green

food coloring to the dough.

Beverages:

•What would St. Patrick's

Day be without a green glass

of beer? For the kids, tint gin-

ger ale or a lemon-lime soda

green.

•Create a green cocktail

using Bailey's Irish Cream

liqueur.

Dessert Ideas:

•Turn ice cream or milk-

shakes green using mint-fla-

vored ice cream

•Add green sugar sprinkles

to cookies and cakes.

•Bake chocolate chip cook-

ies using green M&M can-

dies, instead of chips.

•Fill cream puffs with green-

colored cream.

When you think of all

the foods you can turn green

or are naturally that color,

your St. Patrick's Day can

truly be filled with emerald

magic.

pyramid, transforming it

into a different symbol alto-

gether -- a dinner plate.

The general basis of the

"MyPlate" model generated

by the USDA is to give indi-viduals a better understand-

ing of the ratios of food that

should fill their plates. While

the average guidelines for the

total amount of each food

group that should be eaten

varies according to age and

sex, the overall messages of

how much to fill a plate serve

as a good indicator for health-

ier eating.

Taking a small dinner

plate, half of the plate should

be filled with fruits and veg-

etables, with a greater empha-

sis on vegetables. Slightly less

than one-fourth of the other

side of the plate should con-

sist of lean protein. Theremaining open portion of

the plate should be made up

of grains -- with at least half

of those grains whole grains.

A cup of low- or nonfat milk

should be an accompaniment

to the meal for dairy con-

sumption.

Most people get their

recommended amount of oils

through many of the foods

that they eat, including fish

and nuts. The USDA advises

anywhere from 3 to 7 tea-

spoons of total oil consump-

tion daily, depending on age

and sex. Otherwise, caloric

need is surpassed and weight

gain may occur.In addition to the rec-

ommendations on food

groups and portion sizes, the

MyPlate program has a series

of customizable online infor-

mation on everything from

learning about calorie intake

to personalized eating plans

to physical activity trackers,

all free of charge at

ChooseMyPlate.gov.

roles such as Opie on "The

Andy Griffith Show" and

Richie Cunningham on

"Happy Days." While his role

on "Happy Days" made him a

household name, it was

behind the camera where

Howard's career would trulytake off. Howard's directorial

career has produced several

hits, including "Splash,"

"Willow," "Apollo 13," and

"A Beautiful Mind," which

earned him the Academy

Award for Best Director.

•Bill O'Reilly: A political

commentator and New York-

based news reporter, O'Reilly

quickly made a name for him-

self in television news, rising

up the ranks from local news

stops in Scranton, PA and

eventually landing his own

national show, "The O'Reilly

Factor," which is consistently

among cable news' top-ratedshows. O'Reilly holds two

master's degrees, one for

broadcast journalism from

Boston University and anoth-

er in public policy from

Harvard University.

•Danica Patrick: In the male-

dominated world of auto rac-

ing, Patrick has established

herself as a worthy contender

time and again. She dropped

out of high school to advance

her racing career, starting

with a stint in England, and

Patrick has accumulated

world renown. The fourth

woman ever to race in the

Indianapolis 500, Patrick fin-ished third in 2009, the high-

est-ever finish for a female

driver in the famed race.

Patrick has also scored many

different product endorse-

ments, and she is often seen

on television in a variety of

commercials.
