Drain Clogging Prevention Tips Drain Trap or P-Trap—What’s the Difference? Where Are Your Home’s Shut-off Valves? Celebrate April’s Fruit-of-the-Month—Star Fruit Avocado Fruit Salad Keep the Water Flowing with These Drain Clogging Prevention Tips  Keeping your drains clear is probably easier than you think. With a few simple precautions, you can prevent your drains from clogging. Tips for the Kitchen Sink • Pour grease into cans and throw them in the garbage. If you empty grease into the sink, the grease collects along the sides of the pipe and then food particles stick to the pipes, eventually  contributing to a clog. • When grinding food in a disposal, run plenty of cold water to flush food particles down the pipe. Using too little water can contribute to the particles collecting along the sides of the pipe. • Don’t empty coffee grounds in the sink. Tips for the Bathroom • Clean the pop-up stoppers in sinks frequently. Hair often collects here and causes clogs. • Never flush heavy paper products down the drain. Excess paper can clog the toilet and/or the whole sewer system. www.lowes.com/cd_Clear+Clogged+Drains Drain Trap or P-Trap—What’s the Difference? Common Plumbing Terms Branch Line: A supply pipe that carries water to an individual fixture. Cleanout: An opening, closed by a removable plug, that provides access to a drain or sewage pipe for clearing blockages. Drain Trap (or P-Trap): A U-shaped passage at a fixture or in a drain line that stays filled with water to keep sewer gases from escaping from the drain into living spaces. Shut-Off Valve: A valve that cuts off water to one or more fixtures, allowing repairs without shutting off the supply system for the entire house. Trunk Line: The main cold-water supply pipe within the house. Vent Stack: A large vertical pipe that projects above the roof; connected to the soil stack, it vents sewer gases from the soil stack, preventing the gases from entering the living space. Do You Know Where Your Home's Shut-off Valves Are? Review the location of all of your home’s shutoff valves and how to turn them off with all your family members so you’ll be prepared for emergencies. Gas shutoff valve: Locate and show the entire family how to turn it off. Whole-house water shutoff valves: The main shutoff should be beside the meter if you are on City water. If you use a well, the shutoff will be on the house side of the pressure tank. You should also know how to cut power to the tank. Hot water shutoff: There should be a valve on the hot water outlet of the water heater, which controls all of the hot water to the house. Toilet shutoffs: Show your entire family how to shut off the toilet by turning the ribbed oval handle under the tank if it ever starts to overflow. Sink shutoffs: You should have handles beneath the sinks or within the cabinets; the one on the left is usually for hot water, the one on the right for cold. Dishwasher shutoffs:Look under the kitchen sink for a reducer coupling and shutoff valve leading to the dishwasher on the 1/2 inch hot water sink supply line. Washing machine: Valves are usually where the washer hoses meet the house supply lines. However, washer hoses are notoriously weak, so consider changing them routinely every year or at least close the valves when leaving home for an extended period. National Garden Month April 1st: April Fool’s Day April 8th: Easter Sunday April 16th: Income Taxes Due April 22nd: Earth Day April 25th: Plumbers Day   April Home Warranty Tip: Pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain once a week to melt away any fat or grease that may have collected. But, if the drain pipe is made of plastic pipe, don't use boiling water!   Star Fruit— Celebrate April’s Fruit-of-the-Month with a Little Star in Your Salad! Star fruits are an excellent source of vitamin C, low fat, and naturally sodium and cholesterol free. A small whole star fruit will provide approximately 2/3 cup sliced. Selection: Select firm, shiny skinned, even colored fruit. Star fruits will ripen at room temperature and have lightly brown edges on the ribs when it’s ripe. Avoid purchasing star fruit with brown, shriveled ribs. Storage: Non-ripe star fruit should be turned often, until they are yellow in color and ripe with light brown ribs. Store ripe star fruits at room temperature for two to three days or unwashed, and refrigerated, in a plastic bag for up to one week. Preparation: Star fruits are great to eat out of hand as these tropical delights do not need to be peeled or seeded before eating. Simply wash the fruit, remove any blemished areas, cut crosswise to get the star shape, and eat!   Avocado Fruit Salad Salad Dressing Ingredients: 1-1/2 Tbsp olive oil 2 Tbsp raspberry vinegar 1 tsp grated lime peel 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice 1 Tbsp fresh chopped basil leaves 1/2 tsp dry mustard 1/4 tsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper Salad Ingredients: 1 10 oz package mixed baby greens 4 kiwi, peeled and sliced in half rounds 1 grapefruit, peeled, seeded and sliced 2 cups sliced strawberries 2 star fruits, sliced 1/2 ripe avocado, seeded, peeled and sliced Salad Dressing Directions:In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients,  set aside. Salad Directions: In a large salad bowl, combine baby greens, kiwi, grapefruit, strawberries and star fruit. Pour on dressing and toss to coat. Top with avocado slices. apps.nccd.cdc.gov Repair, Replace, Relax with Fidelity National Home Warranty (FNHW).

Super Bowl

See us in the Big Game For the first time in the 40-year history of our brand, we will air a commercial during the most watched television event of the year.   The Super Bowl has a unique place in American television: when the commercials air, viewers actually start paying more attention to the broadcast. Did you know that over 111 million people are expected to watch this year's Super Bowl, and I hope you will be watching and see CENTURY 21 Agents right in the middle of it! On February 5th, tune in to your local NBC station to watch as CENTURY 21 Real Estate takes a new place in history! We are sponsoring a full half-hour segment in pre-game, and we air 11 pre-game commercials during that day. And of course, as our finale, our special :30 Super Bowl commercial will air in the 3rd quarter of the game itself. Don't forget to watch and vote for us! You'll see exactly how to cast your vote for your favorite commercial on Super Bowl Sunday at century21.com. Sideline Starters (click link to find recipes) Every great party needs great food. Here are just a few highly rated recipes that would make a great addition to your Big Game Bash.   Seven Layer Taco Dip Super Nachos Super Bread Bowls Super Sliders Hot Wings Recipes provided by foodnetwork.com and allrecipes.com.     Bring The Games Home Here are a few games ideas from purpletrail.com.   Pass the Lucky Cup Super Bowl Game: This is yet another classic game for a perfect Super Bowl party. It is simple and a great way to make some cash for both you and your guests. In this game the person who holds the cup makes the rules for the game. The owner of the cup says a word like “touch down”, “first Down” or “50-yard line”. Then the cup is passed and each guest is supposed to add a dollar to the cup. The next time there is a touch down in the Super Bowl game, the person holding the cup collects the money inside. Then the game starts all over again. The money collected through the game can also be donated to the local food bank or charity, of course with your guests consent.   Drinking game – Take a Shot: This game for adults is a fun activity to a certain point. Being the host, you will need to be careful with this game though if you want you and your guests to see the end of the game. To be on the safe side, try picking light drinks for this game. For this game, you line up fans of each team and force them to drink for every turnover, sack, fumble or dropped pass. As a variation you can also try picking a favorite play or call and every time your team is called on, you have to take a drink. Another variation is that each time the commentator says, “Did you see that” everyone has to drink.   Rate the Super Bowl Commercial Game: Each year the Super Bowl commercials get more wild and crazy. A terrific game is to pass out “commercial score cards,” and have your guests rate each of the big commercials on a 1-5 star scale. After the game, tally up the winners.   Pop The Balloon Game: This is an easy to play game that would be great after the Super Bowl is over. You pick team colors for balloons, and in each balloon you put a slip of paper. On the slips you can write something like “penalty”, “Personal Foul” etc. and on one of the slips write the score of the winning team. Then ask your guests to pop the balloons and the guest who gets the “score slip” turns out to be the winner of the game. For prizes you can hand out silly gifts like a toy football or pom pom. your guests are sure to have a hearty laugh playing this kiddie game.   Keep the Kids engaged: If kids are going to be a part of your celebration then it would be a good idea to make some arrangements for them as well. A good way would be to allot them their own “Kids zone”, away from the grown up crowd. You can arrange for some nice movies, maybe a foosball table, easy crafts or even puzzles. Here are some game ideas for the kids at your party. You can take help of an adult family member who is not interested in the Super Bowl game and can help your keep the kids engaged with the games listed below:   Monkey in the Middle Game: This is the old time favorite Super Bowl party game for young party-goers and will keep them entertained during the game. Ask the kids to make a circle. Have one child stand in the middle of the circle and hand out a football to one of the kids making up the circle. The child standing in the middle of the circle is the designated “monkey”. Players in the circle toss the football around and across the circle, trying to keep it out of the hands of the “monkey in the middle”. If the “monkey” catches the ball, they swap places with the person who threw the ball.   Super Bowl Laugh Game: This is a fun game that all your little guests will love. While sending out the invitations, you can mention a line stating that all kids are supposed to come with a football joke. Have 2 to 3 judges who can rate the football or Super bowl jokes. The one who gets the best rating is the winner and gets a football for a prize.   Video game: The most easy to setup game for a Super Bowl party for little guests would be arranging for a video game station on a separate television. You can set up games like “Madden” or “NFL Blitz” for guests to play during the big game.     A Super Bowl party is one of the most fun, laid back parties one can ever attend. But the most important game on Super Bowl Sunday is “Hide the Keys Game”. In this game you need to hide the keys from your drunk friends so they don’t get out on the road. This is very important if drinks are going to be a part of your Super Bowl celebration.     Have a Great Super Bowl party!
