FEATURED PROJECT


A small deck with big impact!

Another more-than-ordinary design by Anthony and Company built in Raleigh, North Carolina.
This deck design shows that a deck need not be huge, nor built up off the ground to have a big impact! The diagonal decking sets this design off from the ordinary - and the addition of the edge seating gives this deck maximum use of the space available!


See this and other possibilities that can be built for you by

Interesting Facts!


Some Fun Food Tips!
Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.

Use a meat baster to "squeeze" your pancake batter onto the hot griddle - perfect shaped pancakes every time.

To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

To prevent egg shells from cracking, add a pinch of salt to the water before hard-boiling.

To get the most juice out of fresh lemons, bring them to room temperature & roll them under your palm against the kitchen counter before squeezing.

To easily remove burnt-on food from your skillet, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan, and bring to a boil on stovetop-skillet will be much easier to clean.

Fun Activities!


"Cats"


January 24 - January 27, 2008
8:00pm
Price: $35 - $70!
There's no better way to introduce your family to the wonders of live theater than with the magic, the mystery, the memory of CATS. What began as a musical about cats after Andrew Lloyd Webber picked up a book of poems in an airport bookshop has become one of the longest running shows in Broadway's history.



Dinosaurs!

January 23 - January 26, 2008
Price: Adults: $8.00, Children: $5.00

Ever since the first dinosaur fossil was identified almost 200 years ago, people have wondered how these fascinating animals lived, moved and behaved. At first, dinosaur hunters used only such tools as a keen eye, shovels and compasses. Today, scientists also rely on everything from satellite technology to scanning electron microscopes. Prepare to take a journey of discovery into the exciting world of modern paleontology, where new discoveries, new technology and new ideas are helping today\'s scientists piece together what these living, breathing dinosaurs were really like.

Lots to see and explore for all ages here!!



Be Environmentally Friendly!



Use a water-filter pitcher!
Bottled water isn't necessarily cleaner or better for you than tap water. Get a Brita water-filter pitcher or an in-sink faucet filter. Take advantage of what you already pay for and save the environmental cost of transporting bottled water to the grocer's shelf.

Clean up your dishwasher!
Switch to a dishwashing powder that's biodegradable and plant-based (try Ecover Ecological or Trader Joe's powders). These cleansers cut through grime, but they do it without the bleach and phosphates that threaten river and marine life and leave chemical residue on your dishes.

Curtail junk mail!
The Federal Trade Commission website, www.ftc.gov, spells out how to remove yourself from lists. (Click on "For Consumers," then "Telemarketing," then "Unsolicited Mail, Telemarketing and E-mail: Where to Go to 'Just Say No.'") You'll save trees, water, and emissions, too. If everyone in the United States reduced the junk mail he receives every week, 100 million trees would be spared each year.

Turn off the tap!
The average faucet releases about three gallons of water a minute, so shut it off while you brush your teeth or shave.

Donate old cell phones!
About 130 million mobile phones are retired every year, resulting in more than 65,000 tons of waste - including potentially hazardous materials, such as lead and mercury. Recycle yours with Call2Recycle (log on to find a drop-off location near you) or programs like Collective Good to benefit groups such as the American Red Cross.
