GO GREEN
Tips for Going Green
Reduce your Carbon Imprint
1. Turn off the lights when you leave the room.
2. Replace bulbs with new low energy  bulbs.
3. Reuse shopping bags
4. Carpool
5. Conserve water
6. Inflate tires
7. Recycle
8. About 90 percent of the energy used to wash clothes goes to heating the water. Cool things off and save 349 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.
 

Household Tips
Pour a packet of lemonade Kool-Aid (the only flavor that works) into the detergent cup and run the dishwasher while empty. The citric acid in the mix wipes out stains! And it smells lemon fresh!

Eliminate ear mites. All it takes is a few drops of Wesson Corn Oil in your cat's ear... massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball. Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's skin, smothers the mites, and accelerates healing.

Easy eyeglass protection... to prevent the screws in eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear Nail Polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them.

Smart splinter remover: Just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue-All over the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter sticks to the dried glue. 

 Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.

 Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost immediately-without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional pain relievers?

Rainy day cure for dog odor: Next time your dog comes in from the rain, simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet, instantly making your dog smell springtime fresh.

Kills fleas instantly... Dawn Dishwashing Liquid does the trick. Add a few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly. Rinse well to avoid skin irritations. Good-bye fleas. 

Did you know that Colgate Toothpaste makes an excellent salve for burns? 

Use leftover eggshells to shine your glassware. Simply drop some crushed shells in vase, add warm water and a drop of dishwashing liquid, and give it a good swirl

A simple spruce up for the microwave: place a bowl of water mixed with lemon juice inside and run the machine on high for one minute, wipe out to clean.

 

Use Your Rice Cooker to Steam Towels.

Slather your hands with lotion, then wrap them in the steamed towels until cool.

 


Here are the five most common early warning signs of a heart attack:
-- Chest pain.
-- Pain or discomfort in the neck and jaw.
-- Pain or discomfort in the arm, shoulder or back.
-- Sudden feeling of profound fatigue.
-- Sudden shortness of breath.

There's something for everyone with this sports comedy musical whether you love the game or not. Twelve lively songs help tell the story of the Arizona Hummingbirds pro football team who has seen better days. Once the powerhouse of the league, the team has fallen into disrepair since the death of its 96-year old owner. The team's demise can be directly attributed to the old man's will, which left his fortune and team to his 30-ish ex-stripper wife. Wear your favorite football outfit and join us for the "game" to see if the team makes it to the "Super-Dooper Bowl"!

King Henry V by William Shakespeare directed by Davis McCallum Phoenix:  March 26 – 29, 2009 Tucson: April 2 – 5, 2009  Young, restless and ambitious, Henry V inherits a troubled crown and seeks to secure his position at home by launching a hasty invasion of France.  The charismatic warrior King’s aggressive pursuit of the French crown earns him iconic status, uniting England and France and briefly banishing the civil strife that will long outlive him. This Shakespearean epic expertly balances the thrilling heroics of battle with the painful and complex reactions of men who are sometimes unsure of the justice of their cause.  KING HENRY V is a rousing, fascinating story about the power of courage and the price of glory.

Late Nite Catechism By Vicki Quade & Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times, Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket price: $36, The longest-running play in the Valley is still in a class by itself!

By Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket price: $36, That¹s right, the fun continues in Sister¹s second catechism class! You don¹t need to graduate from the first class to enjoy this one; Sister will give extra attention to her slower students. Sister has felt banners, a filmstrip, handouts, historical facts and hysterical insights to explain every nun¹s goal: getting into heaven and bringing along as many of the faithful as possible. Using a special version of Chutes and Ladders to demonstrate her point, Sister tells us where we¹ve gone wrong, and no one is excused from her firm belief that "sometimes we feel guilty because we are guilty."

SISTER THROWS A 'LATE NITE' CHRISTMAS PARTY AT THEATER 4301

 Sister's Christmas Catechism:
The Mystery of the Magi's Gold

November 28-December 21, 2008

Presented at Theater 4301, Galleria Corporate Centre, Scottsdale


(SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.) - Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts will present Sister's Christmas Catechism: The Mystery of the Magi's Gold from Nov. 28-Dec. 21 at Theater 4301 in downtown Scottsdale.

 Single tickets are available for $38 through the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts' Web site at www.scottsdaleperformingarts.org or the box office at (480) 994-ARTS (2787).

 Described as "Forensic Files goes to Bethlehem," Sister's Christmas Catechism stars Patti Hannon as the cranky but lovable nun 'Sister,' who has now taken on the mystery that has intrigued historians throughout the ages: whatever happened to the Magi's gold? "We know that Mary used the frankincense and myrrh as a sort of potpourri - they were in a barn after all," she explains.

 

Assisted by a local choir and a gaggle of audience members, Sister directs an unforgettable living nativity and employs her own CSI-inspired tools to find the culprit. With gifts galore and bundles of laughs, Sister's Christmas Catechism is a sinfully funny alternative to traditional holiday fare.

 

Sister's Christmas Catechism was written by Maripat Donovan, the creator of the popular Late Nite Catechism comedies, with Jane Morris and Marc Silvia. 99.9 KEZ is the show's media sponsor.

OPEN LETTER FROM JOHN MCCCAIN

My Friends,

During Tuesday's town hall debate in Nashville, I told a retired Navy chief in the audience that everything I ever learned about leadership I learned from a chief petty officer in the Navy. My career in the United States Navy has had a lasting impact on my life and the lessons I learned continue to guide me today.

The naval term "steady strain" has become a constant mantra throughout my life. It references the need to keep lines between ships steady to avoid a sudden jerk or movement that could easily snap the line. We're facing great challenges as a nation and we must keep a "steady strain," because it is not only essential at sea, but in life and in politics.

I strongly believe a "steady strain," made possible by the grassroots organization we've built across the country, is the path to our victory on November 4th.

HELP- The Foothills Food Bank Needs Help!
 The Foothills Food Bank is in critical need of food and monetary donations. We are seeing more people. People that we have never seen before, coming in for the first time. It takes approximately 30 pounds of food to feed one individual. If that person went to the store to purchase the food we give them it would cost approximately $64.00.

 The food bank gives a three-day supply of food to a client on an emergency basis.  We also give financial assistance, but due to a lack of funds we have had to cut off financial assistance until further notice. Please do what you can, I will be happy to talk to you. Thanks,Pam DiPietro Executive Director  Foothills Food Bank • 480-488-1145 (work) • 602-284-3483 (cell)
