Is Your Home Under-Protected?Just when you think you’re safe, a recent nationwide survey has uncovered that a majority of American homes are dangerously under-protected when it comes to fire and carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

even those equipped with smoke and CO alarms are at risk according to the study, which revealed that two thirds of u.S. households are not in compliance with the national recommendation for the number of smoke alarms set by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). even more alarming is the 90 percent of homes that do not meet the recommendation for number of carbon monoxide detectors, including 40 percent that report having zero working carbon monoxide detectors.

“These statistics confirm what we’ve feared for years - that far too many homes in this country are not as well protected as they should be against the dangers of fire and CO,” says Deborah Hanson, director of external affairs for First Alert, a leader in residential fire and CO detection devices. “What’s more troubling is that many people don’t realize that their families are at risk.”

For those in need of new smoke and CO alarms, a wide variety of innovative products are available with an assortment of features to meet different needs. First Alert products range from combination smoke and CO units to smoke alarms with escape lights, along with basic battery-powered products. These smoke and CO alarms are available at national retailers or for purchase through the First Alert online store at www.firstalertstore.com. (ARA)

Fall Tile Trends Go Bold & BeautifulHome renovation and building go on year-round, but as with any design statement, each season brings new looks and trends. This autumn’s ceramic tile trends share a flair for

boldness and innovation. The ceramic tile experts at Tile of Spain point to the hot trends to watch this fall:

Color: Strong saturated tones such as midnight blue, royal purple and deep chartreuse will join autumn’s traditional power hues of rich reds and burnt sienna. Reds are especially dominant, appearing in every shade from fiery orange-reds to deep merlot. These powerful colors are paired with linear and neutral whites, creams and soft grays to provide a high-contrast punch.

Pattern: Fall pattern trends include micro and macro patterns within a single tile, larger-than-life designs that incorporate multiple tiles, and optical illusions. Drawing on consumers’ continuing interest in the environment, tile makers are presenting entire collections inspired by nature. you can find tiles that mimic the texture of sand dunes, waves, tree bark and even rain.

texture: Texture lends nuances of shade and tone through the play of light and shadow. Ceramic tiles have always been a good medium for textures. Digital technology has made it easy for tile makers to apply texture to a ceramic surface. New possibilities have emerged, such as tiles that mimic the look of antique distressed wood and bush-hammered or chiseled stone. (ARA)

Before you Flip That SwitchWhen the temperatures plummet, you shut the windows, flip the air switch to heat and plug any leak you can find in an effort to keep your house warm. But what you’re also doing is sealing the air inside your house.

While a good tight seal is very important to staying warm and keeping your energy bill in check, it also can really have an impact on indoor air quality.

“When you flip that switch on your heater, there is a lot of dust and debris - collected in the coils over the summer months - that either burns into fumes or gushes into the house through your vents,” says Aaron marshbanks, board member of the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA).

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HvAC) systems can act as a collection source for a variety of contaminants that have the potential to affect health, such as mold, fungi, bacteria and very small particles of dust. The removal of such contaminants from your HvAC system is crucial to improve indoor air quality.

NADCA has published an internationally recognized standard that specifies requirements for proper cleaning. For more information about HvAC cleaning and to find a certified and knowledgeable contractor, visit www.NADCA.com. (ARA)

Fall Yard Cleanup It’s that time of year when we begin cleaning up our yards and preparing for the upcoming winter. The areas that most com-monly need attention are trees and shrubs, the lawn, and veg-etable or flower gardens.

Trees and shrubs often need to be trimmed back in the fall, though this will vary, depending on the type of plant. If you’re unsure when to trim your trees or bushes, consult a gardening book or online resource. If your trees are taller than 10 or 15 feet, it’s best not to take the risk of doing the job yourself. Look for a qualified arborist who can do the work for you, and be sure to check out some references before hiring anyone to do the work. This can also be a good time to remove any old or dying trees, as well.

Rake up all the fallen leaves and any other debris from your lawn. There are many types of leaf bagging devices on the market today that can make this job easier, such as leaf bag holders or special tarps designed to collect leaves and other debris while you are raking. Once all the leaves are re-moved, it’s important to do one final mowing at the end of the year. A fall lawn application is also a good idea. visit your local garden center or nursery for a recommendation of what type of product to use.

The last area that will require some fall attention is your garden and plant-ing areas. your work here will vary depending on what types of plants you’re working with. In the case of annuals, especially annual vegetable plants, it’s best to remove the plants entirely at the end of the growing sea-son. Some vegetables like tomatoes and potatoes, if left to rot in the cool fall weather, can transmit fungal diseases into the soil. Once annual plants are removed, now is a good time to till the soil and add any fertilizers such as organic matter or other soil amendments. Finish the area off by adding a thick layer of mulch.

If the planting area in question is full of perennial plants, it’s best to leave the plants alone and let them die back naturally during the winter months. It is a good idea to apply a thick layer of mulch around the base of each plant, too.

Fall yard cleanup does require some work on your part, but nothing too difficult. With the basic steps we’ve outlined above, you will be rewarded by a yard, lawn, and garden that will look better than ever next spring.

How To Create Versatile Living Spaces With the active and bustling lifestyle families lead, it is no surprise that they frequently change the way they interact with, and in, their living spaces. Different stages of life call for different living spaces. most homes are not equipped to offer this versatility. Outfitted with traditional swinging doors that squander space, standard-width doorways offer limited accessibility and restrictive living areas.

According to a survey on homeowner and home buyer priorities, the ideal home readily adapts to a family’s changing room space requirements. For example, the addition, growth and departure of children or elderly relatives create significant demand for flexible floor plans. To make the most of your home, adding new door solutions like Johnson Hardware’s ingenious multi-Pass Pocket Door Hardware can help you optimize existing square footage.

A home that is able to evolve with ever-changing families has functionality at the forefront of its design. Johnson’s multi-Pass Pocket Door application enables up to three 300-pound doors to glide effortlessly into the

inside of the wall. Since pocket doors do not swing open or closed, you can reclaim floor space con-sumed by traditional hinged doors.

make high traffic areas of your home more accessible with a large entryway that won’t inhibit wheelchairs, walkers or foot traffic. Whether it’s a play room for the kids or living quarters for an elderly rela-tive, a pocket door’s bottom track can be recessed in the floor for easy navigation through the entryway.

With standard multi-Pass Pocket Door Hardware, you can create up to 12 foot wide doorways, or wider openings with longer custom tracks. Reveal large open areas when the pocket doors slide back inside the wall. Now you have an expansive space for guests to socialize and mingle, an area perfect for family game night or a safe, open area for children to play.

Pull the doors shut and the large space quickly transforms into two cozy and more private settings.

Sliding the doors closed allows you to easily create an intimate home theater to watch the latest movie or a comfy, peaceful nook to catch up on your read-ing. multi-Pass Pocket Doors give you a level of versa-tility that standard doors and entryways cannot mimic.

To ensure safe, jump-proof operation, choose hard-ware that is manufactured and tested to exceed ANSI standards and backed with a lifetime guarantee.

If your home needs some updates to accommodate your family’s lifestyle, it’s easier than ever to make relatively small changes that will have a big impact. For more information, contact Johnson Hardware at 2100 Sterling Ave., Elkhart, Ind. 46516; call (800) 837-5664 or visit www.johnsonhardware.com. (ARA)

enabled him to swim straight; but when he com-peted at other pools without lines, he swam crooked and lost. Isaiah 28:10, instructs us to teach the Word of God, “line upon line, precept upon precept.” Weissmuller went on to compete in two Olympics, winning metals because he learned to swim within the lines. Save your children from going astray or crooked in life, by teaching them the scripture!Fifth, we must “Protect Our Children from ungodly Influences.” media, music, misguided hero’s, and misbehaving friends can “ruin good morals” (I Cor 15:33). Proverbs 10:8 informs us that “He that breaks his own hedge will be bitten by a serpent.” Hedge up the protection around your children, and do not allow the enemy of their soul to come near!

Sixth, “We Should Pray For Our Children.” In Genesis 18, Abraham interceded for his family, and God spared Lot. Be a spiritual leader and priesthood of all believers (I Peter 2:9), and pray for the Lord to “bless them, your children, and keep them, to make his face shine upon them; and be gracious unto them; to lift up his countenance upon them and give them peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)

Seventh, “Bless your Children.” In mark 10:13-16, Jesus took the children up into his arms and blessed them…” verse 16 says that he put his hands upon

them. There are over five million touch receptors in your body, and one-third of those are in your hands! u.C.L.A. research indicates that all of us need 8-10 meaningful touches every day. Dr. Delores Kregar (university of New york) states that touching another person increases their hemoglobin which increases oxygen to the vital organs which can produce energy, happiness and healing. Finally, verse 16 also states that Jesus “blessed” them. The word used indicates thanksgiving and praise. With 77-80% of our thoughts being negative, we really need to praise, bless, and verbally encourage our children to excel in every way. Try blessing instead of cursing your children as you partner with God for their divine destiny!

We, as a nation, are attempting to recover from a huge economic bailout. But what are we doing to recover from “family bankruptcy” and give our-

selves a “family blessing bailout?”

First, “Dedicate yourself to The Lord as a Parent!” In Genesis 17:1, Abraham was instructed to “Walk blameless before the Lord.” In Deuteronomy 6:4-7, Israel was first commanded to “love the Lord with all their hearts, soul, and strength,” (v-5), and then to “teach their children” (v-7).

Secondly, we should “Bring Our Children to A Personal Faith In God early In Life.” In matthew 9:14, Jesus rebuked the disciples and said, “Do not hinder the children from coming to me…” Research indicates that if a child does not decide to follow Jesus by age 14, there is only a 4 % chance that they ever will!

Third, “Teach your Children That God Has A Plan For Their Lives.” Whether it is God using your children when they are young like Josiah, Joash, Samuel, or, the little lad with the few fish and loaves, or God’s development of their young lives for later in life, God has a great plan for them (Jer 29:11). Polycarp was converted at age 9; Jonathan edwards at age 7; Isaac Watts at age 9; Corrie Ten Boom at age 5.

Fourth, “Teach Them God’s Word.” When Johnny Weissmuller was 14 years old, he was unbeatable at his home pool at the Illinois Athletic Club. But when he competed at other pools, he was beaten consistently. Why? His home pool was lined which

It All Happened in the Country
