a Christmas Story
(1)

John & Deborah Berger

(3)

(2)

o you believe in Miracles? I do and you just might after


reading this very true story of a local man...and his near
death experience.
Let's start at the beginning. John Berger is a very nice guy,
in his early 60's. Typical American story for his generation. He
has been a career accountant for most of his adult life. But, that
is not the beginning of the story.
Meet John... the Navy Air Sea Air Rescue Medic. John had
been a competitive swimmer all through High School and College. His military service was natural for him. During his service experience he saved a military dependent child from a
swimming accident with CPR. He delivered a baby and performed a lot of ER room procedures as part of his job.
Let's move forward 40 or so years. John is that numbers
driven, professional accountant working for a major company.
John and his wife Deborah are living in San Pedro but the complex does not have all the amenities that he likes such as a good
size pool.
Ah, but they come across a Huntington Harbor location that
they fall in love with and move in. John and his wife Deborah
had been seeing a dermatologist who had advised them to stay
out of the water for awhile. Then one day recently, his doctor
lifted thier ban on the water.
The next day, Deborah and John go to the pool area in their
new complex. Deborah is the social butterfly...starts a conversation with the neighbors and their friends around the pool on
this typically gorgeous Fall day in HB. They end up bringing
all the tables and chairs together and they soon all are...as we
do... laughing, breaking bread and unknowingly starting what
was soon to be a life long bond wrapped in emotion, love, tears
and near death.
John is a large man, tall, robust. Shortly after the tables are
drawn near. all sitting together, one of the people in the group
says... is John doing some trick in the pool?
John was face down in the deep end...somewhat spread eagle.
Immediately, Tim Scott, a friend of a neighbor at the table
jumps in the pool. Tim, also a big guy...very recent combat veteran gets under John and brings him out of the water. This was,

having met John...and at this moment a very wet John...not an


easy task.
Tim and his friend start the process to try to revive him...At
the same time there is a wedding reception going on in the recreation area club house. "Pool" people run over and yell..."Is there
a Doctor here?" NO!
But a married couple, both nurses and another man who
knew CPR respond immediately. They all proceed to John's
side. Repeated attempts at CPR, chest pounding do not seem to
be working.
HB Paramedics arrive...resuscitation continues en route to
hospital. Hospital records indicate: Pulmonary Failure, Cardiac
Arrest! This was 6 pm.
Late that night Doctors inform Deborah that they are going
to pack him in ice as a emergency treatment. The doctors return...no ice... they got a cardiac response. Those new neighbors
and friends drove Deborah to the hospital and waited with her.
Hours passed.
Seven days in ICU followed by 3 more days in Hospital...
doctors propose one possibility... Sleep Apnea as one potential
cause!
Think about it. Dermatologist releases John, next day in pool.
Deborah gathers all that are poolside and starts her own party.
Two seasoned veterans with lots of life and death experiences
(literally) at the table. The wedding...two professionally trained
dedicated nursing professionals are present.
HB Paramedics respond quickly and with expertise... the
doctors do not give up on John.
Just another day of life and death...or were all the right people
placed there simply because it was not John's time yet?
We will never know. John fully recovered but
taking time off from work. He has no memory
once he got up from the poolside party-table and
entered the pool.
He has one daunting memory. Tim, the
vet...was on top of him after being pulled from the
pool and across Tim's upper torso was a huge tattoo; S O L D I E R!
The picture above is that of all involved
that day; neighbors, their friends and wedding party life savers. They gathered for
dinner about a month after John...after John
recovered... at Buon Gusto restaurant on
Warner Ave. at Bolsa Chica Road to celebrate John's life. (1) John Berger (2) wife
Deborah, (3) Tim, (4) & (5) husband and
wife team from the wedding. PS: Hugs all
around for the Staff at OC Memorial...they
refused to give up...just like John.
Most there did not previously know
each other, in fact. all were new to John because of his loss of his memory; now they
all seem like family!
Kids brought John cards and
flowers...John was very thankful and now
when they see each other it is all high
five's, hugs and smiles.
What do you think?

Where Is the
Common
Sense
1

) Pause: such a simple word: temporary stop : a period


of time in which something is stopped before it is
started again. What is so difficult to understand. We pause
some immigration policies until we develop more secure
screening procedures to better secure the safety of America
and continue our immigrant national makeup and origin.
2) Presentation from the Oval Office. During my adult
years hearing Kennedy, Bush, etc. each national address
from the Oval Office had a program of change accompanying the speech, a plan to deal with the crisis, etc. Bay of
Pigs, for example was a serious message with a military
plan to mitigate the
threat. No plan put
forward...just gun
control.
3.) Political correctness: I am totally
convinced that our
elected officials are
absorbed in this
ridiculous concept
lead by the ACLU to
not say Merry
Christmas, not celebrate Halloween, not
to profile. Again,
ridiculous!
We
should never be
mean, always speak
from the heart and
respect the fact that we are a nation of religious based families, ethnically diverse families...all immigrants who have
learned how to integrate with each other, absorb the America culture, live harmoniously, inter-marry...etc.
4) Radicalized Catholics... if a group of Christians...and
perhaps there have been a few episodes in history were
killing people...I would not hesitate calling them radicalized Catholics.
5) Vetting: Geese... come up with a program that helps
us distinguish issues that could affect out safety .
6) Secure the Border: why does this need definition. Develop a plan to allow migrant worker to safely and legally
enter the U.S.
7) Undocumented Aliens... common... give them a work
visa, provide some housing and health care as part of their
employment. Is this all about signing people up to vote to
advance one political agenda over another... I think we are
fed up!
Where do I stop, where do I start.? I am completely convinced that we...the people get it. We understand the difference between workplace violence and terrorism. We
know there are good and bad gas stations, good and bad
Italians...good and bad Muslims; there are good and bad
people of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

ong before the advent of Christianity, plants and trees that remained green all year had
a special meaning for people in the winter. Just as people today decorate their homes
during the festive season with pine, spruce, and fir trees, ancient peoples hung evergreen
boughs over their doors and windows. In many countries it was believed that evergreens
would keep away witches, ghosts, evil spirits, and illness.

Did You Know?

CChristmas trees are grown in all 50 states including Hawaii and Alaska.

CIn the Northern hemisphere, the shortest day and longest night of the year falls on December
21 or December 22 and is called the winter solstice. Many ancient people believed that the
sun was a god and that winter came every year because the sun god had become sick and
weak. They celebrated the solstice because it meant that at last the sun god would begin to
get well. Evergreen boughs reminded them of all the green plants that would grow again when
the sun god was strong and summer would return.

CThe ancient Egyptians worshipped a god called Ra, who had the head of a hawk and wore
the sun as a blazing disk in his crown. At the solstice, when Ra began to recover from the illness, the Egyptians filled their homes with green palm rushes which symbolized for them the
triumph of life over death.

CEarly Romans marked the solstice with a feast called the Saturnalia in honor of Saturn,
the god of agriculture. The Romans knew that the solstice meant that soon farms and
orchards would be green and fruitful. To mark the occasion, they decorated their homes
and temples with evergreen boughs. In Northern Europe the mysterious Druids, the priests
of the ancient Celts, also decorated their temples with evergreen boughs as a symbol of
everlasting life. The fierce Vikings in Scandinavia thought that evergreens were the special plant of the sun god, Balder.
CGermany is credited with starting the Christmas tree tradition as we now know it
in the 16th century when devout Christians brought decorated trees into their homes.
Some built Christmas pyramids of wood and decorated them with evergreens and
candles if wood was scarce. It is a widely held belief that Martin Luther, the
16th-century Protestant reformer, first added lighted candles to a tree. Walking
toward his home one winter evening, composing a sermon, he was awed
by the brilliance of stars twinkling amidst evergreens. To recapture the
scene for his family, he erected a tree in the main room and wired its
branches with lighted candles.

CMost 19th-century Americans found Christmas trees an oddity.


The first record of one being on display was in the 1830s by the German
settlers of Pennsylvania, although trees had been a tradition in many
German homes much earlier. The Pennsylvania German settlements
had community trees as early as 1747. But, as late as the 1840s
Christmas trees were seen as pagan symbols and not accepted
by most Americans.

CIn 1846, the popular royals, Queen


Victoria and her German Prince, Albert, were sketched in the Illustrated
London News standing with their
children around a Christmas tree. Unlike the previous royal family,
Victoria was very popular with her subjects, and what was done
at court immediately became fashionablenot only in Britain,
but with fashion-conscious East Coast American Society. The
Christmas tree had arrived.

CBy the 1890s Christmas ornaments were arriving from Germany and Christmas tree popularity was on the rise around the U.S. It was noted that Europeans used small trees about
four feet in height, while Americans liked their Christmas trees to reach from floor to ceiling.

CThe early 20th century saw Americans decorating their trees mainly with homemade ornaments, while the German-American sect continued to use apples, nuts, and marzipan cookies. Popcorn joined in after being dyed bright colors and interlaced with berries and nuts.
Electricity brought about Christmas lights, making it possible for Christmas trees to glow for
days on end. With this, Christmas trees began to appear in town squares across the country
and having a Christmas tree in the home became an American tradition.

Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree

The Rockefeller Center tree is located at Rockefeller Center, west of Fifth Avenue from
47th through 51st Streets in New York City.
The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree dates back to the Depression Era days. The tallest
tree displayed at Rockefeller Center came in 1948 and was a Norway Spruce that measured
in at 100 feet tall and hailed from Killingworth, Connecticut.
The first tree at Rockefeller Center was placed in 1931. It was a small unadorned tree placed
by construction workers at the center of the construction site. Two years later, another tree

Christmas Tree Trivia

CChristmas trees have been sold commercially in the United States since about 1850.

CIn 1979, the National Christmas Tree was not lighted except for the top ornament.
This was done in honor of the American hostages in Iran.

CBetween 1887-1933 a fishing schooner called the Christmas Ship would tie up at the
Clark Street bridge and sell spruce trees from Michigan to Chicagoans.
CThe tallest living Christmas tree is believed to be the 122-foot, 91-year-old Douglas
fir in the town of Woodinville, Washington.

CThe Rockefeller Center Christmas tree tradition began in 1933. Franklin Pierce,
the 14th president, brought the Christmas tree tradition to the White House.

CIn 1923, President Calvin Coolidge started the National Christmas Tree
Lighting Ceremony now held every year on the White House lawn.

CSince 1966, the National Christmas Tree Association has given a


Christmas tree to the President and first family.

CMost Christmas trees are cut weeks before they get to a retail outlet.
CIn 1912, the first community Christmas tree in the United States
was erected in New York City.
CChristmas trees generally take 6-8 years to mature.

Christmas trees are grown in all 50 states including Hawaii


and Alaska.

C100,000 people are employed in the Christmas tree


industry.

C98 percent of all Christmas trees are grown on farms.

CMore than 1,000,000 acres of land have been planted


with Christmas trees.
C77 million Christmas trees are planted each year.

COn average, over 2,000 Christmas trees are


planted per acre.
CYou should never burn your Christmas
tree in the fireplace. It can contribute to
creosote buildup.

COther types of trees such as


cherry and hawthorns were used as Christmas trees in the past.

CThomas Edisons assistants came up with the idea of electric


lights for Christmas trees.

CIn 1963, the National Christmas Tree was not lit until December 22nd because of a national 30-day period of mourning following the assassination of
President Kennedy.

CTeddy Roosevelt banned the Christmas tree from the White House for environmental reasons.
CIn the first week, a tree in your home will consume as much as a quart of water per day.

CTinsel was once banned by the government. Tinsel contained lead at one time, now its
made of plastic.

CIn 1984, the National Christmas Tree was lit on December 13th with temperatures in the
70s, making it one of the warmest tree lightings in history.
C34 to 36 million Christmas trees are produced each year and 95 percent are shipped or sold
directly from Christmas tree farms.

CCalifornia, Oregon, Michigan, Washington, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina


are the top Christmas tree producing states.

The Local News, December 15, 2015 hbnews1@aol.com 714.914.9797

CIt is not surprising that, like many other festive Christmas customs, the tree was adopted so late in America. To
the New England Puritans, Christmas was sacred. The
pilgrimss second governor, William Bradford, wrote
that he tried hard to stamp out pagan mockery of
the observance, penalizing any frivolity. The influential Oliver Cromwell preached against the heathen traditions of Christmas carols, decorated trees, and any
joyful expression that desecrated that sacred event. In
1659, the General Court of Massachusetts enacted a
law making any observance of December 25 (other
than a church service) a penal offense; people were
fined for hanging decorations. That stern solemnity continued until the 19th century, when the
influx of German and Irish immigrants undermined the Puritan legacy.

was placed there, this time with lights. These days, the giant Rockefeller Center tree is laden
with over 25,000 Christmas lights.
It has been long thought that Martin Luther began the tradition of bringing a fir tree into
the home. According to one legend, late one evening Martin Luther was walking home
through the woods and noticed how beautifully the stars shone through the trees. He wanted
to share the beauty with his wife so he cut down a fir tree and took it home. Once inside he
placed small lighted candles on the branches and said that it would be a symbol of the beautiful
Christmas sky. Hence, the Christmas tree.
Another legend says that in the early 16th century, people in Germany combined two customs that had been practiced in different countries around the globe. The Paradise tree (a fir
tree decorated with apples) represented the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden. The
Christmas Light, a small, pyramid-like frame, usually decorated with glass balls, tinsel, and
a candle on top, was a symbol of the birth of Christ as the Light of the World. Changing the
trees apples to tinsel balls and cookies; and combining this new tree with the Light placed
on top, the Germans created the tree that many of us know now.
Today, the Tannenbaum (Christmas tree) is traditionally decorated in secret with lights, tinsel, and ornaments by the mother and is lit and revealed on Christmas Eve with cookies, nuts,
and gifts under its branches.

America: Home of the Free because of the Brave

ooks By Lau and aol make some great suggestions...


Cue the holiday music! We are officially less than a
month away from a new year, though it seems as if I was
writing my 2015 resolutions yesterday. For many of us, this
time of year means a great deal of rushing to finish work
and unending shopping trips despite the holiday cheer.

RANDOM
THOUGHTS

Be Careful What You Ask For...

* I changed my car horn to gunshot


sounds. People get out of the way much
faster now.
* Gone are the days when girls used to
cook like their mothers.
Now they drink like their fathers.
* You know that tingly little feeling you
get when you really like someone?
That's common sense leaving your body.
* I didn't make it to the gym today. That
makes five years in a row.
*I decided to change calling the bathroom
the John and renamed it the Jim.
I feel so much better saying I went to the
Jim this morning.
* Last year I joined a support group for
procrastinators. We haven't met yet.
* Old age is coming at a really bad time.
* When I was a child I thought Nap
Time was a punishment.
Now, as a grownup, it feels like a small
vacation.
* The biggest lie I tell myself is, "I don't
need to write that down, I'll remember it."

Looks By Lau
Today I'm sharing my top 20 things to do before 2015
concludes to help you get organized for the next few weeks.
Take a breath, relax, and read on:
1. Catch up with a friend. Reminisce on old memories &
make new ones.
2. Thank someone. For anything. This shouldn't start/end
with Thanksgiving.
3. Pick up a new book. I'll admit I'm not the best with this,
but upcoming travel plans will make that change!
4. Make that Black Friday return before it's too late. I unknowingly bought two almost identical tops.
5. Get a head start on holiday gift shopping.
6. But save some money too. Start cooking more. Take
the subway. You don't need another pair of black booties.
7. Explore. Near or far. Take some time away from everyday life.
8. Plan ahead. Whether it's for an upcoming trip or school
semester, don't wait until the last minute.
9. Indulge in a good meal. Because it's the holiday season,
right?
10. Then work it off. The resolution that everyone states,
but no one follows. Guilty again.
11. Acquire a new skill. Before a new year starts, take that
class you've been meaning to attend since 2013.
12. Venture out alone. To a museum, or to lunch. I just recently learned the value of one's own company.
13. Create a holiday playlist. Michael Bubl's album is
still at the top of mine.
14. Decorate. Even if it's not for the holidays. A little room
upgrade can make all the difference in your day.
15. Don't wait to buy your New Year's dress. Or you'll be
stuck scouring Forever 21 for the least tacky one on December 31.
16. Donate some clothes. Chances are you stocked up this
past weekend. Clear out your closet with holiday spirit!
17. Spend a day in bed. You deserve it.
18. But don't forget the hustle. That to-do list isn't getting
any shorter. But it will pay off in the end.
19. Reflect. How was your 2015?
20. Get excited. 2016 is less than a month away. New
year, new beginnings!"

What lies behind you and what


lies ahead of you is tiny compared
to what lies within you."

Buying a
Watch In
I

Richard Warren Sears

rived from the East. It was a huge crate of


pocket watches. No one ever came to claim
them.
That started it all. He ordered more
watches from the watch company and encouraged the telegraph operators to set up a
display case in the station offering high quality watches for a cheap price to all the travelers. It worked! It didn't take long for the

word to spread and, before long, people


other than travelers came to the train station
to buy watches.
Richard became so busy that he had to
hire a professional watch maker to help him
with the orders. That was Alvah. And the
rest is history as they say.
The business took off and soon expanded
to many other lines of dry goods.
Richard and Alvah left the train station
and moved their company to Chicago -- and
it's still there.
YES, IT'S A LITTLE KNOWN FACT
that for a while in the 1880s, the biggest
watch retailer in the country was at the train
station. It all started with a telegraph operator: Richard Sears - and his partner Alvah
Roebuck!
Bet You Didn't Know That!!! Now that's
History!!!!!

f you were in the market for a watch in


1880, would you know where to get
one? You would go to a store, right?
Well, of course you could do that, but if you
wanted one that was cheaper and a bit better
than most of the store watches, you went to
the train station! Sound a bit funny? Well,
for about 500 towns across the northern
United States , that's where the best watches
were found.
Why were the best watches found at
the train station?
The railroad company wasn't selling the watches, not at all. The telegraph operator was. Most of the
time the telegraph operator was located in the railroad station because the telegraph lines followed
the railroad tracks from town to
town. It was usually the shortest
distance and the right-of-ways had
already been secured for the rail line.
Most of the station agents were also
skilled telegraph operators and that was
the primary way that they communicated
with the railroad. They would
know when trains left the previous station and when they were due
at their next station. And it was the telegraph
operator who had the watches.
As a matter of fact, they sold more of
them than almost all the stores combined for
a period of about 9 years.
This was all arranged by "Richard", who
was a telegraph operator himself. He was on
duty in the North Redwood,Minnesota train
station one day when a load of watches ar-

ple from a fundamentally different culture, without jeopardizing your own culture and everything that depends
on it should have been dispelled by many counterproductive social consequences in Europe, even aside from
the fatal dangers of terrorists.
Most refugees in the Middle East can be helped in the
Middle East, and many Americans would undoubtedly be
willing to financially help Muslim countries like Jordan
or Egypt to care for these refugees in societies more compatible with their beliefs and values.
The history of millions of European immigrants who
came here in centuries past was fundamentally different
from what is happening in our own times.
First of all, those immigrants were stopped at Ellis Island to be checked medically and otherwise, and were al-

sized that we shouldn't blame all Muslims for the actions


of a few. How many people have you heard blaming all
Muslims?
Even if 90 percent of all Muslims are fine people, and
we admit 10,000 refugees from the Middle East, does that
mean that we need not be concerned about adding a thousand potential terrorists even after we have seen in San
Bernardino what just two terrorists can do?
The first responsibility of any government is to protect
the people already in the country. Even in this age of an
entitlement mentality, no one in a foreign country is entitled to be in America if the American people don't want
them here.
Obamas talk about how we should not make religious
distinctions might make sense if we were talking about
handing out entitlements. But we are talking about distinguishing between different populations posing different
levels of danger to the American people.
When it comes to matters of life and death, that is no
time for the kind of glib, politically correct rhetoric that
Barack Obama specializes in.
Obama may think of himself as a citizen of the world,
but he was elected President of the United States, not head
of a world government, and that does not authorize him
to gamble the lives of Americans for the benefit of people
in other countries.
The illusion that you can take in large numbers of peo-

lowed to get off that island to go ashore only after they


had met whatever legal standards there were. Otherwise,
they were sent back where they came from.
More fundamentally, people came here to assimilate
into the American society they found, not to become isolated enclaves of aggrieved foreigners, demanding that
Americans adjust to their languages, their values and their
ways of life.
Like so much that President Obama says, his talk of
stronger screening of people coming into the United
States is sheer fantasy, when even his own intelligence officials and law enforcement officials say that we have no
adequate data on which to base a meaningful screening of
Syrian refugees.
When Obama spoke of the danger of our being drawn
once more into a long and costly ground war in Iraq or
Syria, that was yet another fantasy, that wars are optional.
When terrorists are at war with us, we cannot simply
declare that war to be over, whenever it is politically convenient, as Obama did when he withdrew American troops
from Iraq, against the advice of his own generals. That is
what led to the rise of ISIS.
Our only real choice is between destroying ISIS over
there or waiting for them to come over here and start
killing Americans. As in other cases, Obama has made
a choice that reflects politics and rhetoric, rather than
reality.

Dear Editor:
Your recent article on "Understanding the Debt Ceiling..."Debt ceiling is easy to understand. For a person, it is the after tax income. When the monthly bills equals the
take home pay, the choice is sell something, get a higher paying job, or starve. The
best solution might be find a better job.
For a government, it is the same. However, imposing a debt ceiling on the government means it cannot handle an emergency such as war. The current popular solution
of starve the poor is contrary to the Constitutional demand to promote the common
good. Increasing taxes, or creating an environment that produces good paying jobs
is how any government handles the debt ceiling.

hen the President of the United States asks the
television networks to set aside time for him to
broadcast a speech from the Oval Office, we
can usually expect that he has something new to say. But
President Obamas speech Sunday night was just a rehash
of what he has been saying all along, trying to justify policies that have repeatedly turned out disastrously for America and our allies.
This was not a speech about how the Obama administration is going to do anything differently in the future. It
was a speech about how Obamas policies were right all
along. Obama is one of those people who are often wrong
but never in doubt.

Million$, Million$ and Kobritz


More Million$, Going on
to Baseball's Stars Sports

ith one swipe of a pen, the Arizona


Diamondbacks made a franchise alBy Jordan Kobritz
tering move, one that also sent reverberations throughout the baseball industry.
Arizona shocked the baseball world by signing pitcher Zack Greinke to a six-year,
$207 million contract. Greinke spent the
last three years with the Los Angeles
Dodgers, amassing a 51-15 record.
Greinke and teammate Clayton Kershaw, a
three-time Cy Young winner, led the
Dodgers to the playoffs in all three seasons.
At the end of this season, Greinke exercised an opt-out clause in the six-year, $147
million contract he signed with the
Dodgers in 2012.
While the total value of the contract is
below the $217 million the Red Sox gave
free agent David Price only hours earlier,
the deal still gives Greinke bragging rights
to the highest average annual salary in
MLB history at $34.2 million per year. His
new contract will pay him $10 million
more per year and adds three more years to
his old deal.
The Greinke signing was fueled by the Dbacks new TV deal with Fox Sports
Arizona that will pay the team $1.5 billion over 20 years and includes a stake in
FSA. The club will receive approximately $80 million per year for the life of the
deal. That figure pales in comparison to what a number of other teams rake in from
their television contracts. The Dodgers, for example, will receive four times that
amount each year for the next 25 years. But for the Dbacks, who rank in the bottom
20% of MLB clubs in revenue, the new deal is $50 million per year more than they
had been receiving.
The Price and Greinke deals are further evidence of the riches that abound in

MLB, which will generate almost $10 billion in revenue this year. Every MLB club
will receive approximately $200 million from the leagues Central Fund which collects national TV revenues, licensing fees and internet revenues, then distributes the
total equally among the 30 teams. The $6 billion Central Fund exceeds the sports
estimated 2015 payroll of slightly more than $4 billion, including player benefits.
MLB is similar to the NFL, where
Central Fund revenues cover player
salaries leaving teams free to spend
local revenues from sales of tickets,
sponsorships, concessions, media
deals, parking and
What's He Smiling About?
the like on
player development and other team expenses.
Price and Greinke were the highest
profile free agent pitchers in this
years class. Pitching-starved teams
that are desperate to win will cull
through the remnants. With bundles
of cash at their disposal, you can expect them to overpay in the process.
Greinkes contract will not only
alter his familys finances for generations, but the financial fortunes of a number of other pitchers and the teams that
sign them. And for that they can all thank the Diamondbacks.

Come and sing a Hanukkah song.


Sing of heroes, brave and strong Maccabeus and his band,
Who rescued Israel's ancient land.
Sing a song of candles burning,
Dreidel spinning, pancakes turning,
Hanukkah presents tucked away
To open on the holiday.
Sing a happy Hanukkah song
Every day for eight days long.

NEWSFIX and their MBODDEKER


out of San Francisco have painted a picture of us STATE by State. Transplants
beware... you could be hosting multiple,
competing tendencies.
Does the state you live in affect your
personality?
Truity, a personality and career assessment website surveyed more than
12,000 Americans to determine the personality traits of each state.
Their research found Texans are
"hard-working, no-nonsense folks who
enjoy the good company of others."
They also determined that Texas was not
considered one of the top five states
when it comes to being open-minded,
unconventional or friendly. North and
South Dakota are supposedly the most

THEFT

s you are looking for the perfect gifts, thieves are also looking for gifts. Here
are a few safety tips to consider when shopping:
Be mindful of your surroundings. Thieves can easily blend in among the
masses of people to scope out their targets. Thieves watch for body movement
while you are sitting in your car. They can tell if you are trying to put something
under the front seat or conceal it behind you. If you are bringing a purse or bag,
dont leave it in the car or, if you have to, already have it in the trunk before you
leave the house.
Dont leave anything in plain view Wallets, phones, chargers, gifts, anything!
It takes only seconds to break a window, reach in and walk away with valuables.
Many people go from the stores to their car and back to the stores. Put your items
in the trunk, but be cautious. Many older cars can have the trunk opened from a
button inside the car that does not require a remote or the car to be in the on position
for this to work.
Dont carry large amounts of cash. If possible, pay with a credit or
debit card.
Dont leave your purse or bag in the shopping cart unattended. Many people turn away from their bags in the cart
to look at an item and with numerous people shopping,
someone can walk away with it without being
noticed. When you get to your car, immediately take your purse or bag out of the cart
and put it in the car to avoid someone snatching it and running off.
If you are shopping at night, park in a well lit area.
If possible, do not shop alone. Thieves are less likely
to target people in groups.
Practice Patience. Expect long lines and minimal
parking.

Dear EarthTalk:
How are environmentalists and environgroups
using
mental
crowdfunding to get their projects off the ground?
~ Sean Jackson, Baltimore, MD

Crowdfunding relies on the collective effort of a large


amount of individuals making online contributions to allow
a project or venture to
happen. ArtistShare, a
website that allows fans
to fund the creation of
new artistic works, was
the Internet's first fanfunded crowdfunding
platform, launching its
initial project in Octo2003.
Today,
ber
crowdfunding is a bit
more crowded, to say
the least, and among the
most popular sites for
this purpose today are
GoFundMe,
IndieGoGo, Kickstarter
and Razoo. Crowdfunding has grown
from a market of $880
million in 2010 to $16 billion in 2014, with 2015 estimated
to surpass $34 billion.
A wide variety of both small and large-scale environmental endeavors are now utilizing this revolutionary new
kind of fundraising. In November 2015, Indiegogo.com,
the largest global crowdfunding platform, allowed the
HomeBiogas system to reach their fundraising goal of
$100,000 in 24 hours. The HomeBiogas system is a family-sized biogas system that converts any organic waste
into clean cooking gas and a high quality liquid fertilizer
for the garden. With the system, 2.2 pounds of food waste
produces an average of about 200 liters of gas, which generates around one hour of cooking over a high flame. Also,

Fake Wines Take


a Toll On Everyday
Consumers

wo years have passed since a federal


jury convicted Rudy Kurniawan, a
prominent wine collector, of fraud for
selling counterfeit wines. When the FBI raided
Kurniawan's home in March 2013, they discovered thousands of fake wine labels and
hundreds of bottles and corks. He's currently
serving a 10-year prison sentence.
Kurniawan's conviction brought attention to the
scourge of counterfeit wines. It also forced the auction
industry to clean up its act and dedicate more
resources to authenticating old bottles.
But wine enthusiasts remain on edge.
Kurniawan showed how much money
could be made with fake wines. At a single
auction hosted by Acker Merrall & Condit in
2006, he netted nearly $25 million. Plenty of
Kurniawan's concoctions remain in circulation. And suspect wines continue to surface.
Last month in Hong Kong, for example, a
new auction house called Dragon 8 pulled
many lots from its debut after counterfeit experts raised serious concerns on
WineBerserkers.com, an online bulletin
board.
Some have argued that wine fraud is a victimless crime. Wine writer W. Blake Gray
called Kurniawan a "hero" since "the wineauction scene is full of powerful assholes." But fake
wines take a toll on everyday consumers -- those passionate oenophiles who can't afford cases of grand cru
Burgundy or first-growth Bordeaux but can afford the
occasional splurge on a single, special bottle.
Consider John Brooks, a retired Air Force major
general who now considers himself a full-time wine
enthusiast.
Brooks grew up in a house where wine -- typically
sweet, simple, and German -- was often on the table.
One Christmas, his father received a case of wine
from his company. It was a dry red, and year after
year, Brooks's father tried to serve it with holiday

meals. But Brooks and his mother kept saying no,


sticking with the simple white instead. Eventually, his
father drank the wine on his own.
After Brooks caught the
wine bug, he realized that
the wine his father kept trying to push was 1961
Chteau Lafite Rothschild.
Of Bordeaux's five first
growths, Lafite is the most
famous. Arguably, 1961 is
Bordeaux's greatest vintage ever.
In 2012, the first Father's
Day without his dad,
Brooks realized that some
of his grief was tied up
with the wine -- and the
missed chance to drink
something so legendary
with his father. But he then
realized that it was also an opportunity. If he ever had
a chance to drink 1961 Lafite, it would offer one more
moment with his dad.
In late 2012, Brooks might have had that opportunity. But he'll never know.
"I was drinking my way up the California coast with
my wife and we went to dinner at a restaurant in Santa
Barbara County. I looked at the wine list. There it was.
1961 Lafite. $1,300. I was so tempted. It was my
chance to drink it 'with my dad,'" he explained.
"But could it be real? There were a few older wines
on the list, but not many," he continued. "And while
the restaurant was associated with a small wine shop,

this was not the


French Laundry.
It was just a nice
little restaurant.
After all the publicity about counterfeit wines, I
feared the chances it was David White
real were not very high.
For a one-time opportunity to share that wine with the
memory of my dad, I would have gladly paid $1,300.
But after agonizing, I decided I could not risk paying
$1,300 for something that wasn't real."
Brooks's story tugs at the heartstrings. But similar
stories abound.
One recent night, a friend opened a bottle of
Chteau Latour -- another first growth -- from 1974,
his birth year, for a small group of us. The wine was
shockingly fresh, though. So we concluded that it
must have been a fake.
With old Burgundy, one can't help but question the
authenticity of virtually every bottle.
Billionaire wine bidders might never warrant deep
sympathy. But the wine world is packed with passionate enthusiasts of humble means -- geeks who live in
cramped apartments, dress in outdated clothes, and
seem to spend all their income on wine -- who eagerly
share their most prized bottles.
These consumers chase history's greatest wines,
knowing that sometimes, such wines can offer spiritual experiences. But today, with so many counterfeits
on the market, it's becoming harder and harder to figure out what's real. That's a shame.

Dogs Can Sniff Out


Cancer In Humans?

an Dogs Sniff Out Cancer in Humans? come


on Marie Cunningham.. really..." A dog's sense of
smell is about 1 million
times greater than a
human's, which is why they
have been used as everything from tracking dogs
and hunting companions to
bomb and drug sniffing
dogs. But it turns out that
sniffing out cancer may be
the next big thing that we
use our canines for.
As reported by Animal
Planet, researchers at the
Pine Street Foundation in
California trained dogs to
sniff out both breast and
lung cancer by smelling
breath samples from patients. They had an amazing

88 percent success rate with


breast cancer and a 97 percent accuracy rate with lung
cancer. In another study,
dogs in Japan detected colorectal cancer with 98 percent accuracy by sniffing
breath samples.
The reason scientists think
the dogs are able to sniff out
cancer are due to their ability to pick up on volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
in the patient's breath. While
dogs are still only being
used to smell cancer in studies, scientists are hoping to
identify and isolate the exact
compounds dogs are detecting to create electronic cancer-sniffing
devices."

Key Provisions In The NEW FAST Act


That Impact All Motorists

Pete Bigelow
he 1,300 or so pages that comprise a
long-awaited transportation bill make
for dry reading. Few people will peruse the details of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, signed into law
last week, if they hear about it at all. That's
a shame, because this is one of those rare pieces of legislation
from Washington that actually has a meaningful impact on
almost every American. If you drive a motor vehicle, or
merely ride in one, there are provisions in the FAST Act that
affect you. And the impact goes beyond the $300 billion in
funding to fix dilapidated roads and crumbling infrastructure
on which we've all grown accustomed to driving. From safety
to automated enforcement to data privacy, this is a far-reaching bill.
No time to read 1,300 pages? No worries. We've condensed
the tome into a Cliff's Notes version. Here's a look at a few
of the reasons the first major transportation bill passed in a
decade is an essential one for motorists.

Bigger Penalties For The Auto Industry

emember when General Motors didn't report deadly ignition-switch problems to the federal regulatory agency
it was legally obligated to report such defects? The maximum
fine the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
could levy was $35 million, a paltry sum for a company
where revenues run in the billions. Ever since, NHTSA has
pushed for a higher penalty.
The FAST Act provides it. It increases the maximum
penalty for safety violations to $105 million. Federal officials
had pushed for a $300 million cap. But amid a rash of automotive safety problems, tripling the penalty to $105 million
should still be a more meaningful deterrent for manufacturers
tempted to cut safety corners.
utomated traffic enforcement has been fading in popularity over the past two years, and as skepticism grows
over whether red-light and speed cameras serve revenue-generation purposes or benefit safety, Congress has voted to stop
using federal dollars from funding more cameras. The FAST
Act prohibits states from using federal funds to "purchase,

operate or maintain an automated traffic enforcement system." There's one exception such funds are still available if
the cameras will be set up within school zones. But otherwise,
the new law is expected to speed the exit of such systems.

Wow!

here's a clear focus on curbing companies from running


afoul of safety rules. Just as the FAST Act increases the
penalty for auto companies that violate safety laws, it also delivers financial incentives for employees of those companies
who come forward with information about violations. Should
the information lead to a penalty of more than $1 million,
whistleblowers would be allowed to collect between 10 and
30 percent of the civil penalty. The provision covers both employees and contractors from carmakers, suppliers, and dealerships.
The Department of Transportation determines the reward
based on "the significance of the original information provided" and "the degree of assistance provided by the whistleblower."

Drivers Own Their Data

ince last year, NHTSA has required that all passenger vehicles come equipped with event data recorders. Used to
help further understand an investigate accidents, ownership
of this data has nonetheless come under debate and questions
have arisen regarding who owns and who may access the
data.
The FAST Act answers these questions. It underscores such
data is owned by the car owner, and that law enforcement
may not access it except under authorization of a court order
or by obtaining permission from the owner or lessee. Beyond
EDRs, there's troves of data that automakers and other thirdparties can access from other systems, but with this provision,
score at least one victory for privacy advocates.

Making Rental Cars Safer

fter five years of contentious Congressional battles, the


FAST Act prohibits almost all rental car companies from
renting, loaning,
or selling vehicles under recall
until the defects
have been repaired.
Cally Houck
(pictured above)
advocated for the
law for years.
Her two daughters, Jacqueline and Raechel, were killed in a
2004 crash caused by a defect in a PT Cruiser they had rented
from Enterprise Rent-A-Car. The car had been recalled, but
the repairs were never made.
There's a big exception to this in the FAST Act. The new
provisions only apply to fleets that contain more than 35 cars.
In practice, this means it applies to big rental car companies
but exempts car dealers who dole out rentals and loaners,
which concerns advocates.
"That loophole was all about politics, not safety," Houck
wrote on Change.org. "It makes no sense for shady car dealers
to be able to loan someone an unsafe ticking time-bomb car,
without violating the new rental car safety law. Imagine taking a recalled car to a dealer for repairs, only to have the dealer
hand you the keys to a loaner with the exact same defect."

Older Cars Get New Oversight

any Americans are driving around in cars that are at


least a decade old. In fact, the average car on US roads
is 11.4 years old. But manufacturers are only required to recall
defective repairs for the first 10 years of their life.
The FAST Act fixes this safety gap. It lengthens the period
of time a manufacturer must repair defective cars to 15 years.
It also directs NHTSA to write new rules that require automakers to keep their safety records vehicles for "at least 10
years."

Paying For Connected Cars

nother provision in the new law allows states to use existing surface and highway transportation funds toward
projects that will help usher in a new era of connected cars
and vehicle-to-infrastructure technology. In short, it gives
states more flexibility in how they spend their federal highway dollars.
Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications are still being tested, but many believe they have the
potential to reduce congestion, improve traffic safety and
offer other real-time information benefits. "As we upgrade
our nation's infrastructure, we should ensure that the United
States remains a leader in the development and implementation of new technologies," said US Senator Gary Peters (DMichigan).

Roadblocks For Toll Roads

ederal law prohibits states from placing tolls on existing


interstates. Of course, there's an exception to that law
which allows three states Missouri, North Carolina, and Virginia to do just that via pilot programs. Even with such permission, those states haven't established tolls and have no
plans to do so.
The FAST Act gives them three years to make such
plans, or else those exemptions could be passed along to
other states. Worried such tolls could come to your state?
Not so fast. The bill also requires that any new state approve legislation before starting a pilot program, a surefire roadblock for any potential participants.

Trucking Industry Skirts Scrutiny

raffic deaths from collisions involving large trucks


have been rising over the past five years, reaching
3,964 deaths in 2013, the latest year for which figures are
available. There's been considerable scrutiny of the rise in
such deaths, especially because roughly 85 percent of those
victims are in other vehicles or pedestrians.
But the trucking industry doesn't want anyone looking too
closely at its safety record. It persuaded lawmakers to hide
federal safety scores of trucking companies from the public.
Provisions in the FAST Act prevent such information from
being disseminated on government websites.
"The impact of this change will affect safety," said Jackie
Gillan, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety.
"Americans will no longer be able to make informed decisions when selecting trucking companies to move their
household goods. Second, it removes the incentive for trucking companies to improve poor safety records because of their
public availability."

Increasing
Loan Limits

he government agencies of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced they will be supporting higher loan limits in 2016. In
California, five counties will benefit from these increased loan
limits: Monterey, Napa, San Diego, Sonoma, and Ventura Counties.
The maximum loan amount a bank can lend on a conventional loan
program is not up to the individual bank. These loan limits are dictated
by the government agencies of Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac
(FHLMC). The ultimate destination for any loan produced by a bank
is to be securitized by an investor in the secondary market. The two
largest such investors in America
are Fannie and
Freddie.
By securitizing
loans through these
agencies, the banks
essentially insure
their profits and
protect
from
losses. One of the
advantages
of
working with Fannie and Freddie
versus
another
agency is that these
entities are government owned. As
such, loans backed
by these agencies are considered a lower risk than loans that are backed
by someone else. The end result works out to be a subsidy for the rates
offered on these programs. Loans that are able to stay within the limits
imposed by these agencies tend to secure lower rates than loans that
go over the limit.

Arnaud Dufour

For the large majority of counties in America, that loan limit is


$417,000. Anything below this amount is considered a conventional
loan. Any loan over this amount is commonly referred to as a jumbo
loan. Interest rates tend to be much lower for conventional loan
amounts than they are for jumbo loans.
Of course, these government agencies also recognize that certain geographic areas a prone to a higher cost of living. In these counties,
there is a middle tier of financing options. These are referred to as
high balance conforming or also conforming jumbo loans.
The absolute maximum for a jumbo conforming loan
amount is $625,500, which works out to be exactly 150% of
the conventional $417,000 limit. The exact amount does vary
per county based on the average housing costs within that
county.
As one of the most expensive states for housing, California
already has the highest percentage of counties supporting
loan limits over the traditional $417,000. For five counties
in California, those loan limits are being pushed even higher
in 2016:
Monterey County: New loan limit of $529,000
Napa County: New loan limit of $625,500
San Diego County: New loan limit of $580,750
Sonoma County: New loan limit of $554,300
Ventura County: New loan limit of $603,750
The increased loan limits in these counties means that
many homeowners who were previously restricted to only
loan programs offered under a Jumbo program will now find
that they now have conventional options available to them
as well. More options means that these homeowners have a better
chance at getting the most favorable terms on a refinance.
The higher loan limits also mean that those purchasing homes in
these counties can also qualify for more favorable terms under these
loan limits.

Bye Bye Boeing


LONG BEACH- The last giant Boeing cargo jet built in Long Beach has flown the coop, marking the end of an era for
Southern Californias once-thriving aerospace industry.
The final C-17 left Boeings assembly plant in Long Beach, Calif., on November 29 and headed to the companys San
Antonio site, where it will remain until it is delivered to the Qatar Emir Air Force in early 2016, Boeing announced.
The former McDonnell-Douglas factor roots back to the long-gone Douglas Aircraft Company plant in Santa Monica,
which was founded in 1921. According to the Times, the C-17 is the last major military or civilian aircraft to be built in
California. It was designed in the late 1980s.
The military transport plane will be housed in the Texas city until it is delivered to the Middle East country Qatar, from
where it was ordered, the company said.
An estimated 2,200 people who worked at the Long Beach facility will lose their jobs, although many have retired or
transferred to other positions with Boeing, according to the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
In 2013, Boeing announced that there weren't enough orders to keep the 25-acre Long Beach plant open, and is expected
to close by the end of the year, reports ABC-7.

nne Holub paints a career picture that is pretty scary..."You might


think that jobs involving training animals, working on highways,
or fighting crime might be the most dangerous of all, but it's not
true. A recent Forbes article sifted through 2014 data just released from
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
It ranked the top jobs in America for job-related fatalities per 100,000
full-time equivalent workers. Here's a breakdown of the five most dangerous jobs you may or may not want to work.

1. Loggers

2014 fatalities: 109.5

espite ranking No. 1 on this list of the most dangerous jobs in the
country, the median salary remains pretty moderate at $41,026.
Most loggers work for large lumber companies and spend their days outdoors cutting down trees or loading logs for transport. Some logging
work is seasonal, but work often takes place in all types of weather.

4.

Roofers

2014 fatalities: 46.2

ccording to PayScale data, the median annual salary for a roofer is

5. Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers

2014 fatalities: 63.2

irline pilots, copilots or flight engineers earn a median annual salary


of $101,852. Despite the range of job titles, they generally perform
the same duties: physically piloting and landing a variety of aircraft.

schooling beyond a high school diploma or GED (though most prefer a
bachelor's degree)."

The Local News, December 15, 2015 hbnews1@aol.com 714.914.9797

mong "extraction workers" are miners, who earn a median salary


of $58,958 per year, according to our PayScale salary survey.

A service unit operator in oil, gas, and mining field earns a median
salary of $65,400 per year. Their jobs involve raising derricks or level
rigs using controls and installing pressure-control devices into wellheads.
Another "extraction worker" is an oil and gas roustabout. They earn a
median salary of $54,495 per year. Their job duties include cleaning
tools and heavy equipment used by operators and engineers on oil rigs.
Oil pumpers earn a median salary of $54,313. Oil pumpers operate
pumps to extract the oil as well as supporting equipment to transfer it

Enjoy the Season of Giving Gifts That Give Back


Year Round
T

rom clothing to housewares to toys, your old stuff can go a long way for someone
new. As the season of giving approaches, look around your home you might find
theres more to give than you thought.
Because everyone knows it is whats inside that
counts, The Glad Products Company has teamed up
with Katie Holmes to support its Glad to Give program, which was inspired by people using Glad ForceFlex bags for heavy donations. Together, they are on a
mission to inspire and enable giving year round and
provide an easy way to do so.
Winter fashion trends may change from year to
year, but one thing that never goes out of style is helping others by giving back to your community, Holmes
said.
Holmes also offers these tips to make giving back
enjoyable for the whole family:
Make It Personal Getting personally involved in a
cause you care about is particularly powerful whether
you are donating your time or personal items. Take the
time to look through areas of your home, such as closets, kitchen cupboards and the garage, for items that
may once have had special meaning to you, but are no
longer needed. Donating those items to someone in need is a much better choice than letting them sit unused.
Be Glad to Give Whether youre giving to a loved one or a complete stranger, giving provides you with rewards that extend far beyond that moment in time. Holmes recently donated a bag full of her familys winter coats to One Warm Coat a national nonprofit that
works to provide gently worn coats to those in need and was happy to lighten her load
for a good cause. Just fill a Glad bag full of your gently used clothing or household items
for donation and go to GladtoGive.com to schedule a free pick up with a local charity of
your choice.
Involve Your Family Its never too early to teach your little ones how to have a giving
spirit. Holmes is always looking for fun little ways to involve her daughter in giving to
others wrapping presents, baking cookies or making cards are easy ways for them to
spend time together and make a meaningful contribution to our favorite local charities or
even a friendly neighbor.
Enjoy the Benefits of Giving Back One of the best things you can do with your gently used
items is to give them a second life. While 33.6 percent of overall giving happens in the
last three months of the year, the benefits are felt year round as people who help others
are happier and healthier, according to the Network for Good Digital Giving Index.
Signup for your free donation bag and find more ways to give back year round at GladtoGive.com.

5 Tips to Conquer
Your Travel Bucket List

The Local News, December 15, 2015 hbnews1@aol.com 714.914.9797

dmiring the Statue of Liberty up close, hanging 10 in the Pacific Ocean or exploring
Europes most charming cities are just some of the experiences that may rank high
on your travel bucket list. Creating that list is just the beginning the real fun begins
when you start making your travel dreams a reality.
Inspiring people to make those getaways happen is the goal of a new effort by Hilton Garden Inn, which is helping plant the seed for travelers to embark on their next great adventure.
Through the Garden Getaway Tour, we are reminding people of all the exciting possibilities available for their next trip, said Judy Christa-Cathey, vice president of global brand
marketing, Hilton Garden Inn & Hampton by Hilton. Trekking your way through a list of
all your favorite places is a great way to feel peaceful and alive, whether you spend your time
discovering new places or reconnecting with loved ones.

Get on your way to creating the travel experience of your dreams with these tips:
1. Chart your course. If you havent already, make a list of all the destinations you hope to
see, and post it someplace prominent so you are reminded of your travel goals frequently.
You may choose to prioritize your most desirable locations, or simply keep your ideas random
so you can seize opportunities when they arise. For example, with its Garden Getaway Tour,
Hilton Garden Inn is giving travelers the chance to win a getaway to Hawaii a great way to
check an island excursion off your list. Learn more at HGIGardenGetaway.com.
2. Be sensitive to the seasons. Be aware that many destinations have peak seasons when the
attractions they boast are in top demand. Crowds are heavier and prices are steeper, but on
the flip side, there are more options for things to see and do. If avoiding the hustle is your ultimate goal, visiting out of season may be more your ticket.
3.
Check for special dates. Timing your travel to coincide with unique local events is a way

his holiday season, shoppers can put children first by purchasing gifts that help save
and protect children around the world. Through gifts that give back and unique
handcrafted items, gift-givers can help children around the world.
The newest offering is UNICEF Kid Power, which allows kids to get active and save
lives. With the worlds first wearable-for-good, available at Target this holiday season
in blue, orange and two special Star Wars: Force for Change editions in black and
white, kids go on missions to learn about new cultures and earn points. Points unlock
funding from partners, parents and fans, and funds are used by UNICEF to deliver lifesaving packets of therapeutic food to severely malnourished children around the world.
UNICEF Kid Power is made possible through the generous support of Disney, Star
Wars: Force for Change and Target.
Through a partnership with NOVICA, UNICEF Market offers thousands of handcrafted items that support artisans in countries where UNICEF works. From jewelry to
home accents and accessories, each item purchased benefits programs that provide children with basic necessities such as lifesaving nutrition, medicine, education, clean water,
emergency relief and more.
Holiday shoppers can also give UNICEF Inspired Gifts, actual life-changing and lifesaving items that can be purchased in honor of a loved one and go directly to help children in need in developing countries. Among the gift options are: blankets; a Super
Hero Pack that provides vaccines and mosquito nets; and a Therapeutic Food gift - a
miracle food, which provides nourishment to 10 malnourished children.
Additional holiday gifts that give back through UNICEF partners include:

IkEa soFT Toys FoR EDuCaTIoN: For every IKEA Soft Toy or childrens
book sold in IKEA stores through December 26, 2015, the IKEA Foundation will donate
1 euro (approximately $1.12) to UNICEF and Save the Childrens education projects.
This years collection features one-of-a-kind soft toys designed by children around the
world. Children around the U.S. can also enter the IKEA drawing competition for a
chance to design their very own dream toy.
HoLIDay GREETING CaRDs: The winning card in the annual Pier 1 Imports

holiday cards can be purchased in the UNICEF Market and through Pier 1 Imports,
IKEA, Barnes and Noble, and select Hallmark Gold Crown stores, also with 100 percent
of the purchase price of cards purchased at Pier 1 Imports and IKEA stores going directly to support UNICEF programs.
H&M: H&M customers can support UNICEF to provide quality education to children living in Myanmar by picking up a special Gift that Gives Back gift card at any
H&M store from November 5 to December 31. The H&M Conscious Foundation will
donate 5% of the total amount uploaded to each gift card.
Be k.I.N.D.: With a contribution of $65, UNICEF can provide a desk and bench for

and learning supplies.
TRaVEL FoR CHaNGE: Through UNICEFs Change for Good program on
American Airlines, travelers visiting their loved ones this holiday season on select American Airlines international flights can use their spare change to help support UNICEFs
work. For Delta travelers, SkyMiles members can donate their unused frequent flyers
miles to the organization for travel in support of lifesaving work for children. To donate
miles, visit delta.com/skywish.
to make your visit extra special. The jovial vibe of a fair or festival in your dream destination
only adds to the excitement. Check the local calendars for events that are sure to deliver fun
eats and lots of quirky, good times.
4. Book accommodations wisely. Look for
a hotel that you can count on to deliver
amenities and services that make your experience enjoyable but know that doing so
can be affordable. Options such as Hilton
Garden Inn (hgi.com), with nearly 640 hotels worldwide, offer a Satisfaction Promise,
along with all the amenities you need to remain comfortable and connected while onthe-go: full service restaurants, free wireless
internet access, fully-loaded fitness centers
and more.
5. Document the adventure. Take time to
collect photos and mementos representing all the places you visit. If scrapbooking isnt your
thing, consider a wall collage in your home office, or devise another way to capture all the
memories you create along the way.
