Avoid poisoning by carbon monoxide
Every year, more than 500 people die and thousands wind up in the emergency room from carbon monoxide poisoning. Here are some tips on safety from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
* Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas produced by incomplete burning of propane, kerosene, gasoline, oil, natural gas, wood or charcoal. Common sources of CO include space heaters, chimney flues, malfunctioning appliances like water heaters, ranges, clothes dryers, oil and gas furnaces.
* Symptoms of CO poisoning inlcude nausea, fatigue, headaches and dizziness.
* Carbon monoxide alarms are not the same as smoke alarms; you need both.
* If a carbon monoxide alarm goes off, immediately operate the reset/silence button and call your fire department or dial 911.
* Move to fresh air, either outside or to an open window or door.
* Account for every household member, including animals.
* Do not re-enter your home until emergency services arrive, the home is aired out and the CO alarm does not reactivate.
* If your CO alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat the steps above and call a qualified technical to examine your appliances, identify the sources of CO and make repairs.

Book, then scrapbook on these cruises
By Arline and Sam Bleecker
The Chicago Tribune
People’s greatest gift can be the memories they leave children and grandchildren.
That’s one reason scrapbooking is a hobby so popular a Google search revealed more than 850,000 Web pages devoted to the pastime. Utah is in the thick of the scrapbooking craze.
Serious scrapbookers might occasionally enjoy the craft only on so-called ‘’affinity'’ cruises -independently organized sailings themed for like-minded enthusiasts. Until now.
Princess Cruises recently launched a maritime first, ScrapbookingSea. As part of the line’s ongoing educational ScholarShipSea program, the scrapbook curriculum offers a regular series of onboard classes and a specially created kit with themed pages to guide newcomers as well as veteran ‘’croppers'’ through the process of memorializing their cruise experiences. Now available on select ships, scrapbooking had been so popular in field tests, said Jan Swartz, Princess’ senior vice president of customer service and sales, the line now expects to roll out the program across its fleet of 15 vessels early this year. In the introductory class, participants are given supplies and instruction on the basic conceptual tools of scrapbooking, such as page design and journaling techniques. If you purchase Princess’ special scrapbooking kit ($24.95), you can attend additional classes at no extra charge.
Those who do not purchase the kit but already have their own scrapbooks are still welcome to attend the follow-up classes, Princess spokeswoman Karen Tetherow said.
