(NAPS)—Designing a kitchen thatembraces functionality and style maybe simpler than you think. With 100years of experience, the experts at theWhirlpool Institute of KitchenScience—www.instituteofkitchen-science.com—know a thing or twoabout sprucing up your kitchen.An informational hub about

everything kitchen, Whirlpool’sexperts have partnered with lifestyleexpert and Designer Dad StephenSaint-Onge to offer the following:• Redesign your appliances:

Appliances are built to offer thefunctions you want and need. Frenchdoor refrigerators with bottom-mountfreezers offer plenty of space to store all your favorite foods;dishwashers can keep quiet while cleaning dishes. Use therefrigerator’s spaciousness to save time. For example, you canmake prepping salads and side items quick and easy. Don’t justput the produce away after grocery shopping. Rinse and prepall vegetables and fruits and store them in clear, airtightcontainers so getting them takes virtually no time.• Change it up: Tastes and trends change but

renovating the kitchen to change with them is a little trickier.You can still add a little flavor to the area with colorful smallappliances and accents. Install a few floating shelves orspecialty hooks to display decorative plates that can easily be

switched out for new styles. Tochange things even more, you can usebacksplashes to add character or afresh coat of paint to transform theroom. Chalkboards are also a fun,trendy way to add to any kitchen. Usethem to keep track of your shoppinglist, weekly menu or favorite wines.Counterscaping can also make a bigdifference. Decluttering and restylingwhat’s on the countertops goes a longway for an easy upgrade. “I amalways changing things around in myhouse,” Saint-Onge said. “It keeps thevisuals of what you see every dayfresh and new.”• Every space needs a little

mise en place: It’s the philosophy of French culinary experts.When cooking, put everything you’ll need in its place.

(NAPS)—As workers use technology to be more mobile,flexible and productive, cubicle farms are giving way to theworkplace equivalent of open pastures. Organizations are redesigning workspaces to encourage

creativity and collaboration, according to expert panelists at therecent “Future of Work” webinar presented by Apollo ResearchInstitute. Open floor plans and public-space workplaces—whichreplace traditional offices and cubes—are new hotbeds ofinnovation, say the industry leaders and future forecasters whoconvened for the event.“Smart technology and other machines have taken on many

tasks, freeing up human beings to use their core strengths ofhigher-level intelligence, innovation and creativity,” said panelmoderator Dr. Tracey Wilen-Daugenti, vice president andmanaging director of Apollo Research Institute. “But optimizinghuman intelligence requires looking at how and where we work,how workers connect to one another and how we collaborateto solve problems.” For example, entrepreneurial companies such as Facebook

focus less on a hierarchical chain of command and more onindividual responsibility and self-motivation. These companiescreate an internal “creative commons” in which technologyallows all workers to share ideas and solutions that impact theorganization’s direction.“At Facebook, we talk a lot to employees about individual

ac countability and ownership and the importance of a strong,cohesive ‘hacker-based’ culture that can break things open tomake them stronger,” said panelist Stuart Crabb, who headslearning and development at Facebook. Crabb noted that flatter, more democratic organizations

appeal strongly to the newest workforce: the MillennialGeneration. “Being able to develop and use their individualtalents in tangible ways is critical to motivation amongMillennials,” he said.As formal structures decline and social networks expand,

workers will need freedom to control where and how they work,according to panelist Jim Keane, president of Steelcase Group,a leader in workplace design and manufacturing. The traditionalone-size-fits-all office is outdated and organizations now seekenvironments that unlock creativity, innovation and speed. That means using mobile technology to link internal workers

with global collaborators and replacing cubicles with moreadaptable spaces that invite teamwork.Keane said the most effective workplaces are those that help

attract, develop and engage workers by providing choice andcontrol. “Everyone can reach their potential through the choicesthey make,” said Keane. Access the “Future of Work” webinar or read the report by

(NAPS)—Energy efficient lighting has become a top priority for homeownerslooking for simple ways to save energy. Many homeowners, however, have foundthat switching from incandescent bulbs to energy efficient LEDs or CFLs meansnot being able to use their dimmer to create the same ambience as before.Most dimmers in homes today are designed exclusively for incandescent lighting.

When an energy efficient bulb is installed, homeowners say, their lights flicker ordon’t dim as well as with less efficient, incandescent bulbs. Even when the energyefficient bulbs are listed as compatible, there’s a good chance homeowners won’tget the performance expected when combined with an existing dimmer. Explains Michael Neary, Leviton’s Product Manager for Residential Lighting

Controls, “The vast majority of existing home installations prior to 2011 weredesigned in such a way that the lighting devices are unable to effectively supportdimmable LED or CFL bulbs.” He believes dimming products today must meetthe necessary requirements of today and tomorrow’s lighting advancements andwork effectively with all older solutions as well. Leviton recently introduced itsUniversal Dimmer, which is compatible with dimmable bulbs, maximizes energyefficiency and eliminates dimming issues for energy efficient bulbs.Homeowners should keep an eye out for these lighting issues when using LED

and CFL bulbs with incandescent dimmers:• Reduction in dimming range. Dimmers are designed to help set the mood

for any room. Mixing certain energy efficient bulbs and dimmers reduces thedimming range—lights can’t be adjusted to full brightness or are limited at theirlowest levels.• Flickering or fluttering of the bulb when dimmed to certain levels.

Depending on the level of inconsistency between the bulb and the dimmer, theflickering can be dramatic or faint.• Inconsistent performance among individual bulbs controlled by one

dimmer. Based on the number of LED or CFL bulbs and the varying brands,performance in each can range from practically perfect to pretty poor.• Bulb packaging. When switching incandescent bulbs with LED or CFL

bulbs, be sure “dimmable” is on the package.For more information about the dimmers, including compatibility charts, spec

sheets and what to look out for, visit www.leviton. com/universal.

(NAPS)—An increasing number ofhomeowners are discovering that thecomforts of home are no longer confinedto indoor space. Fresh air, places to gatherand room for play outdoors are high on thelist of must-have amenities. In fact, a recentsurvey by “Better Homes and Gardens”revealed that 68 percent of homeownersconsider outdoor living areas a top priority.When you want to make the most of an

open-air living space, the possibilities canbe as wide open as the great outdoors.• Take a whole-yard ap proach.

Incorporate outdoor activities on all foursides of your home and select fenceproducts that give your home the best curbappeal from every angle. CertainTeed offersa streamlined color palette that letshomeowners enjoy a picket-style fence in

their front yard and a privacy fence in thebackyard without compromisingoutstanding curb appeal.• Improve your health. According to

Harvard Medical School, spending timeoutdoors reaps important health benefits—boosting vitamin D, reducing stress andenhancing your overall mood. Use youroutdoor living area as a place to exercise,play with your dog or recruit yourneighbors for a baseball game. • Consider a staycation. With a growing

number of families opting to vacation athome, look for ways to transform outdoorareas into a vacation destination. Integratesporting activities, such as volleyball orcroquet, into your backyard. Rent aprojector for an outdoor movie night. Graba tent and build a campfire.

• Design your space with theenvironment top of mind. Take some timeto research the products that will make upoutdoor living areas. For example,CertainTeed vinyl and fiber cement sidingare backed by a life- cycle assessment for acomprehensive look at the environmentalimpact of manufacturing, transporting andinstalling a product. • Enjoy more downtime. Investing in

durable, long-lasting products means lessmaintenance and hassle down the road. Forexample, EverNew LT decking comes witha 25-year stain and fade warranty, so youcan permanently cross painting andstaining off your to-do list. For more information or to find a

Using Energy EfficientBulbs With Dimmers

A New Approach To Outdoor Living Spaces

(NAPSI)—Many homeowners are lookingto boost their energy efficiency and reduce billsby adding insulation. Not all insulation,however, is created equal.What Makes Insulation Sustainable?A sustainable insulation not only performs

well but is manufactured responsibly. It willreduce your overall carbon footprint withefficient manufacturing and shipping, such asreducing water and energy use at the plant andusing special packaging to transport moreproduct in fewer loads. It has limitedenvironmental effect over its life span and hasvery low or no emissions of volatile organiccompounds-an important component of ahealthy home. It should also consist ofrenewable and recycled content, which putsmaterials to good use instead of beinglandfilled. Most importantly, insulation shouldcontribute to a cozy, efficient home. You canreduce your impact on the environment bychoosing products such as CertainTeed’sSustainable Insulation. This fiberglassinsulation saves 12 times the energy the firstyear as the energy used to produce it and willcontinue to save energy for the lifetime of ahome. With its GREENGUARD Children &Schools certification, this highly efficientinsulation helps assure families of healthierindoor air quality.

How Green Is

Your Insulation?

According to a recent survey conducted onbehalf of the Water Quality and HealthCouncil, the majority of Americans (81percent) believe that others are urinating inpools, while one in five (20 percent) admitdoing so themselves. In addition, 83 percentof those surveyed said they were concernedwith others swimming when they havediarrhea.Below are some simple tips to help keep

swimming pool use safe and healthy:• Shower with Soap—Swimmers should

wash with soap and water before they goswimming. Germs on the body end up in thewater, so preventing germs from entering thepool is key.• Check for Healthy/Safe Water Levels—

Before getting in water at a public pool, waterpark or even your own backyard pool, checkchlorine and pH levels with pool test strips.“Proper chlorine and pH levels maximizechlorine’s germ-killing power,” said MicheleHlavsa, chief of the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention’s (CDC) HealthySwimming Program. “Testing the chlorine andpH levels before you get in the water is an important stepyou can take to protect your health and your family’shealth.”AquaChek Pool and Spa Test Strips allow you to test

for appropriate levels of chemicals in pool water and areeasy to use. Simply dip a test strip into your pool orspa/hot tub, then compare it to the color chart on theproduct’s label. You’ll know immediately how safe andclean pool water is and what chemical adjustments areneeded to ensure continued cleanliness.Backyard pool owners should test pool water at least

three times a week if the pool is not being used and more

often if use of the pool increases or environmental changesoccur (like rain, pollen, animals, etc.). Public pool userscan also pack test strips in their pool bag to check thatthe water is safe for swimming.• Curb Contamination—Avoid swimming if you have

diarrhea. You can make other people sick by spreadinginvisible amounts of fecal matter in the water.• Insist on Healthy, Safe Water—Insist that your family

and others in the pool follow basic guidelines when itcomes to healthy swimming practices. Test the water atpublic pools and report any potential issues, such asimproper chlorine levels, to a pool operator. If the pooloperator does not take action, contact your local healthdepartment.• Stop Sipping the Water—Don’t swallow the water you

swim in, as even a small amount of contaminated watercan make you sick.Visit www.aquachek.com for more information on how

to keep pool water safe and healthy.

(NAPS)—Warm weather beckons for families to hit the pool—whether that is intheir backyard, the community pool or a water park. But before families take theplunge, they should consider the best ways to protect themselves from getting

sick from a potentially harmful source—unhealthy pool water.

Swimming Pool Practices To Protect Your Family

Backyard pool owners should test pool watert least three times a week.

Editor’s Note: The Swimmer Hygiene Survey, conducted onbehalf of the Water Quality and Health Council, was fieldedvia an online Omnibus survey from April 4–8, 2012, among anationally representative sample of 1,000 American adults18+ years old, with a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percent.

Juicy Recipes Get Grill Season Off To A Sizzling Start

(NAPS)—Cooking outdoors is in at any time of year. Whenyou grill, it’s important to follow the guidelines from theUSDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service to prevent harmfulbacteria from multiplying and causing food poisoning: • When shopping, buy cold food such as meat and poultrylast, right before checkout. Separate raw meat and poultryfrom other food in your shopping cart and put packages ofraw meat and poultry into plastic bags. • Plan to go home right from the store. Consider taking acooler with ice for perishables. Always refrigerate perishablefood within two hours—within one hour when thetemperature is above 90° F. • At home, place meat and poultry in the refrigeratorimmediately. Freeze poultry and ground meat that won’t beused in a day or two. • Completely thaw meat and poultry before grilling so itcooks evenly. Use the refrigerator for slow, safe thawing. Forquicker thawing, you can defrost in the microwave or in coldwater if the food will be placed immediately on the grill. • A marinade is a savory, acidic sauce in which a food issoaked to enrich its flavor or to tenderize it. Marinate food inthe refrigerator, not on the counter. Poultry and cubed meat orstew meat can be marinated up to two days. Beef, veal, porkand lamb roasts, chops and steaks may be marinated up to fivedays. If some of the marinade is to be used as a sauce on thecooked food, reserve a portion before putting raw meat and

poultry in it. However, if the marinade used on raw meat orpoultry is to be reused, make sure to let it come to a boil firstto destroy any harmful bacteria. • When transporting food, keep it cold. Use an insulatedcooler with sufficient ice or ice packs to keep the food at 40°F or below. Pack it immediately before leaving home. Keep itcold until ready to use. • Always wash hands with soap and water before handlingfood. Use hand sanitizer or moist towelettes if soap and waterare not available. • Meat and poultry cooked on a grill often brown very faston the outside. Use a food thermometer to be sure the food hasreached a safe minimum internal temperature. • After cooking meat and poultry on the grill, keep it hotuntil served—at 140° F or warmer. Keep cooked meats on theside of the grill rack. At home, cooked meat can be kept hot inan oven set at approximately 200° F, in a chafing dish or slowcooker or on a warming tray. • Refrigerate any leftovers promptly in shallow containers.Discard any food left out more than two hours. • Learn more at www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/barbecue_food_safety/index.asp. For more information, visitwww.fsis.usda.gov or ask a food safety question anytime atwww.AskKaren.gov or via smart-phone at m.askkaren.gov orcall 1-888-MPHOTLINE.

(NAPSI)—Caring for exterior wood surfaces—such as decks,fences, siding and furniture—does more than just help theoutside of your home look its best; it can protect yourinvestment. Weatherproofing stains and finishes help protectwood surfaces from the harmful effects of the elements,ensuring a beautiful, long-lasting finish.According to the experts, weatherproofing protection for

your deck and other exterior wood care projects can be brokendown into three easy steps: preparation, color selection andstaining/finishing. Here are some tips from Eric Lundquist,director of marketing for Stain & Specialty Products at Behr:1. Preparation. Before you apply the stain, you need to

properly prepare the surface. That’s the key to attaining abeautiful appearance and achieving long-lasting durability.Wood that has a peeling stain or finish, or is in poor condition,should be stripped to remove all previous coatings. Then cleanwith a wood cleaner such as the recently reformulated BEHRPremium All-In-One Wood Cleaner. The cleaner can be usedto brighten and remove mildew stains in a single step. New orweathered wood should also be cleaned to remove any existingmold or mildew stains, open clogged pores on the surface, andto restore the wood to its original, natural color.2. Color Selection. This is an opportunity for you to use your

favorite colors on the outside living spaces of your home. Andremember that color changes and/or improvements you maketo your home’s exterior can enhance your home’s curb appeal.A wide variety of shades is available so finding the one that’sright for you is easy. Behr’s color offerings include Redwood

and Cedar Naturaltone, Woodland Green and Cape Cod Gray,as well as custom wood stain colors.Behr’s Exterior Wood Care Center at The Home Depot

offers color chips in-store and visualization tools so you cansee what the colors will look like on a deck, fence, siding,furniture or composite surface. Plus, you can find 8-ouncesamples for testing color before applying to a large area.3. Staining and Finishing. When you are ready to stain, be

sure to use a 100-percent acrylic resin formulated to protectdecks, siding and fences year-round. Your options include:• A solid color weatherproofing wood stain, which reveals

the wood texture but conceals the grain, offering the mostdurable and long-lasting finish and vibrant color. It hidesblemishes, imperfections and signs of aging wood.• A semi-transparent weatherproofing wood stain that lets

natural wood grain and texture show through and providesmore durability than clear or wood-toned products. It addssubtle color and is ideal for new or unstained surfaces.• A transparent weatherproofing wood finish adding color

to the wood while enhancing the wood’s natural beauty.Visitors to Behr’s Exterior Wood Care Center can scan a QR

code found on the back panel of their wood stains and finishesbrochure for a short informative video. For more information,including exterior how-to instructions, visit WoodSmart byBEHR at www.behr.com.
