children would gather with their friends to create baked goods, play games and share lunch for a memorable birthday or play date. As a mom, I wanted the package to be all-inclusive, so the parents too could enjoy the experience, without the stress and hassle of planning, preparing and hosting the event. We have incorporated into the space a lounge where parents can relax and socialize knowing their children are steps away in a safe, supervised environment.

THE COOKIE PARTY opened it's doors in November of 2007. However it's roots were born generations ago. As a child growing up, I was my mother's little helper in the kitchen. Watching, learning, mixing and sprinkling while preparing her recipes for a house full of family and friends to enjoy over 40 years of birthdays, holidays and Sunday dinners. It was always so exciting and these shared times were always special to me.

Generations of baking from our home to yours...

When I became a wife and had my own children, I carried on these traditions. My two little ones loved helping me mix the dough, add ingredients and shape and bake the cookies, with such anticipation to begin icing and decorating them. I could see the wonderment in their eyes, reminiscent of my own with my mother. They were so proud of creating something we would all enjoy. Having small children, and hosting my own parties – as well as attending other childrens' parties – I realized that there was nothing available where children could participate, learn and interact in a group environment to provide the same special feeling. As part of the concept, it was important to me to create a fun, whimsical party environment where

While the COOKIE PARTY experience is geared towards children, we also provide a specialty bakery that showcases an assortment of our family recipes. They are made daily from fresh, natural ingredients and are without any preservatives. We open our kitchen to you, and will work with you to create and personalize any of your special occasion, birthday, or holiday needs to compliment your event. The COOKIE PARTY is a family owned and operated business and we are proud of the goods and services we offer and invite you to experience them with us. The Pennetti and Negri Family

Millions of professionals already work in alternative energy industries, yet more are needed, including:

Alternative Energy Demands Generate Hot Career Opportunities

20

©

(ARA) - If you're torn between your concern for the environment and your need to make a living, good news is on the horizon. Rising demand for environmentally friendly alternatives for fossil fuels is opening up new career opportunities for professionals in a variety of fields. Growing environmental concern and limited fossil fuel supplies are driving the growth of domestic and international markets for renewable energy systems, the U.S. Department of Energy reports. Rising demand for cleaner energy directly affects career opportunities in industries related to renewable resources. "The 2008 economic forecast suggests that one of the newest, fastest growing markets for jobs will be alternative energy," says Sheryl Decker, director of career services at Brown Mackie College - South Bend, Ind. Decker recently attended a business outlook panel presented by Indiana University's Kelley School of Business. "Growth opportunities appear in companies that are exploring the use of wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower and bioenergy power technologies."

* chemists * engineers * sales and marketing professionals * administrators * managers * clerical workers * human resources * information technology * business * finance * law

"Professionals who are already in the workforce, and students seeking to enter into a green career, can prepare with a number of degree programs and continuing education courses," Decker says. "Many different types of skills can be applied to these upcoming industries." "Alternative energy companies are seeking professionals to fill a wide variety of positions, including mechanical engineer, project manager, programmer analyst, IT sourcing specialist, administrative assistant and marketing director," she says. "Business Week" magazine reports that a growing number of professionals are moving to jobs in renewable energy fields to promote their own personal environmental concerns.

While some intend to transfer existing skills to a different industry, others are making a mid-life career change simply to become part of the solution for the many environmental issues we face today. The rising cost of oil is proving to be a catalyst for the further development of alternative energy sources. While substantial growth is happening now, Decker points out that many people don't yet realize the opportunities it affords. "People tend to overlook many untapped markets and job opportunities in their local employment arenas,"

she says. "Networking can be an effective way to gauge the hiring needs in your area. I encourage everyone to join industry-specific organizations, volunteer in community activities, and become involved with the Chamber of Commerce. By becoming involved in the community and networking, you will see new doors opening with different job opportunities." To learn more about career training opportunities in alternative energy, and how to prepare for working in this quickly growing business sector, visit www.brownmackie.edu. Courtesy of ARAcontent

"One great time -- and money-saving tip -- is to cook all of your rice for the week at once and store the leftovers in the refrigerator," says Deborah Locke, product manager for RiceSelect. "The next time you are preparing a pilaf, casserole or rice salad, you are halfway there."

Rice tastes great as well, which makes it perfect for the whole family to enjoy. But when you head to the grocery store, don't just pick up any generic brand. Seek out a brand that you know was grown close to home. Buying locally-grown food is becoming more and more important for consumers who are concerned about minimizing their carbon footprints. RiceSelect, for example, grows and packages all of its products here in the United States. And regardless of what

Spoon 1/2 cup of the rice mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top each with 2 Tbsp. cheese, 1 Tbsp. green onion and 1 Tbsp. yogurt. Roll the tortilla up and top with 1 Tbsp. salsa. To save time, when cooking the rice for the burritos, double the recipe on the label and use the leftover rice in another dish, like Cremini Mushroom and Roasted Garlic Rice Soup, later in the week.

Ingredients: 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil 1 medium onion, chopped

r

2 cloves garlic, minced

* Cremini Mushroom and Roasted Garlic Rice Soup Yield: Makes eight to 12 servings

1 1/2 tsp. chili powder 1/2 tsp. cumin

3 cups cooked Texmati Brown Rice

Ingredients:

1 15- or 16-oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed

1/3 cup butter

1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced

1 11-oz. can corn, drained

1 large sweet mild onion, finely chopped

6 8-inch flour tortillas

3/4 cup or 6 oz. shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese 2 green onions, thinly sliced

3 cups cooked Texmati Brown Rice, divided 1 (6 1/2-oz.) container Garlic and Herbs Spreadable Cheese

1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt 1/4 cup prepared salsa

Directions: Heat oil in large skillet over mediumhigh heat until hot. Add onion, garlic, chili powder and cumin. Saute 3 to 5

Numerous studies have shown that people who eat whole grains, such as brown rice, as part of a healthy diet have a reduced risk of coronary heart disease. Eating whole grains may help regulate blood glucose levels in those with diabetes and studies also show people who consume more whole grains are better able to maintain a healthy weight. Plus, whole grains, like Texmati brown rice and RiceSelect's Royal Blends, make a great compliment to other healthy foods like vegetables and lean protein.

Of all the products on supermarket shelves, one of the most versatile is rice, a complex carbohydrate that is free of sodium, cholesterol and trans fat. It is also gluten-free, non-allergenic and easy to digest. Purchasing plain rice allows consumers to use the versatile grain in multiple recipes and is more cost-effective per serving. For example, a jar of RiceSelect's Texmati rice is 30 cents per serving whereas seasoned mixes can range from 60 cents to $1.20 per serving.

More than 100 recipes for the family to enjoy are available at www.riceselect.com. The recipes range from salads and side dishes to entrees and desserts. Here are a few of them:

(ARA) - With the rising cost of groceries, families are trying to make their hard-earned dollars go farther. Buying staples -- as opposed to manufactured mixes -- and using them in several different recipes is one way to reduce costs and yet provide a healthy meal for the entire family.

2 (14-oz.) cans roasted garlic seasoned chicken broth, divided 2 cups water, additional if desired 8 slices pre-cooked ready-to-serve smoked bacon Salt and pepper to taste

Directions: Melt butter in a large non-stick stockpot over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook about 10 minutes, stirring periodically. Let the mixture cool slightly. In a food processor or blender, combine mushroom mixture, 1-1/2 cups rice, cheese and 1 cup broth. Pulse mixture until mushrooms are finely chopped but not pureed and mixture is thoroughly combined. Return mixture to stockpot; stir in remaining rice, broth and water. Bring to a boil; cook uncovered over medium heat 5 minutes. Heat bacon slices between paper towels in microwave according to package directions. Chop bacon and set aside. Add salt and pepper to soup to taste. To serve, ladle soup into bowls; sprinkle with bacon.

Asphalt shingles, which cover nearly 85 percent of roofs in America, are a prime example of a building material with significant price increases. "The price of asphalt shingles has risen due to the dramatic rise in the cost of their main ingredient -- asphalt," says Stephen McNally, vice president of sales and marketing for TAMKO Building Products Inc. The cost of asphalt increased 40 percent within the first two weeks of July alone, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If you are planning a home improvement, don't be discouraged by rising costs. Consider purchasing higherquality products that may cost more initially, but can save you money in the future. Many products are available, but one option that homeowners may not think of as a high-quality product is metal roofing. For example, MetalWorks Steel Shingles, which resemble slate, shake or tile roofing, are an aesthetically-appealing product. They offer energy efficiency and a 50year limited warranty -- two features that may save you money in the long term. Homeowners planning to delay repair projects in hopes that prices will drop, can expect to pay a higher price the longer they wait. "When the prices of construction materials rise, they don't fluctuate like gasoline," says McNally. "These are the kinds of

(ARA) - Increasing costs have become evident in every aspect of our lives. In addition to daily expenses like gas and groceries, home improvement costs are escalating across the nation as well. The cost of construction materials has risen more than 10 percent during the past year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. In addition, the American General Contractors (AGC) of America find that construction costs have increased more than twice the overall consumer price. As the summer months rolled by, construction prices kept increasing. By the end of July, the cost of steel, a material widely used in home construction, had increased more than 90 percent in the past year, according to the AGC. Transportation expenses are a main contributing factor to increasing home improvement costs. Semis powered by diesel transport many building products and diesel has drastically increased in price. These increases have, in return, been passed to the consumer. When expanding, remodeling or repairing your residence, you can expect the cost of materials for your project to be affected by transportation costs.

prices that go up and stay up." Within the next three years, the cost of cement is estimated to increase 20 percent -- iron and steel prices more than 120 percent and copper prices nearly 170 percent -- according to the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index. The rising cost of these raw materials will, in turn, raise the costs for a variety of items used in home improvements.

Whether planning to fix your leaky roof, add a deck for enjoyment or increase your living space, the price of building materials continues to climb. Regardless of the home improvement projects you are considering, it's important to remember that the longer you delay, the more you're likely to pay. Courtesy of ARAcontent

(ARA) - Is your job causing you pain? Maybe it's not the work itself but your office environment. While you're hard at work burning the midnight oil, poor daily habits may be taking a serious toll on your wellbeing. Workplace injuries, including musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), such as tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome are often painful reminders of the effect that hours of poor posture and awkward motion can have on the body.

While office injuries have become more common, many can be minimized or prevented entirely through the principles of ergonomics, or the science of designing work environments to better fit the capabilities of the individuals using them. Practicing proper ergonomic principles at work helps ensure comfort, increase productivity and reduce health issues, such as stress injuries, back, neck and shoulder strain and muscular pains. "Employees are spending more time behind a desk and in front of a computer screen, making office aches and pains more common," says Kevin Butler, board-certified ergonomist and consultant for Fellowes, Inc. "Poor habits such as slouching, reaching across your desk or bending your wrists up when you type can unknowingly cause stress on the body and lead to more serious medical conditions." Butler recommends incorporating the following techniques at work to ensure desk dwellers stay comfortable and healthy from head to toe: Eyes - Sit approximately an arm's length away from your monitor and position the top of the monitor screen at, or slightly below, eye level. Take mini breaks every 10 to 20 minutes to rest the eyes from the glare of the monitor. Shoulders - Keep your shoulders relaxed and in a neutral position as you type. Keep your elbows close to your sides as you use the keyboard and mouse. Take a moment every so often to roll your shoulders up and back to alleviate tension.

Practicing proper ergonomic principles at work helps ensure comfort and reduce injuries in the office. Ergonomic products like the Fellowes Professional Series Gliding Palm Support relieve wrist pressure and help prevent musculoskeletal disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome.

Hands and Wrists - Keep your wrists straight and in a neutral position. Keep the bottom of your elbows even with the keyboard height, not below. Use minimum force while striking the keys and utilize your chair arms for support. Back and Legs - Adjust your chair so your thighs are parallel to the floor. Sit back in the seat so that your lower back is supported firmly by the chair or a support cushion. Place your feet on a footrest to relieve "pull" on the lower back. Make sure to get up and stretch your back and legs every hour. In addition to these recommended techniques, employees should ensure they have the right office equipment incorporated into their workspace, such as Fellowes new Professional Series Ergonomic product line, which is designed to maximize comfort and increase productivity on the job. The line offers a variety of solutions including a Gliding Palm Support that relieves wrist pressure to help prevent carpal tunnel syndrome and the Executive Adjustable Keyboard Tray to promote neutral hand/wrist position. For more information on the principles of ergonomics and assessing your workspace, visit www.fellowes.com/ergonomics.
