“Why Oneida County?”

Without hesitation, Janet Stanley, Publisher answered, “There is just so much life here. Shop keep-ers who desperately want to keep their doors open but are frustrated with the expense of advertis-ing especially with minimal results. The recession hit everyone so hard. When money dries up so does the ability for businesses to flourish. It’s sad that there isn’t another venue that will work for all of these wonderful businesses. I know these products will work and I intentionally made them affordable. I am not looking to get rich here, I just want to make a decent living and offer a great product to the busi-ness owners and residents of Oneida County.”

“Why do you think your products fit that bill?”

“I think that with every-thing being so accessible to us today... On-line, print, cable, e-mail, social net-working and so on, that we get overwhelmed with it all. I think traditional adver-tising has gotten diluted to the point its pretty ineffec-tive. When I watch televi-sion, I choose to use my DVR so that I can totally avoid commercials. I know many of my friends do the same thing. I don’t even open mail that comes to my home that even smells of “junk mail” it goes right to my recycle bin. I sub-scribe to satellite radio for the same reason...when I want to listen to music... I want to listen to music, not

About the Publishercommercials.

I used to subscribe to several magazines but find now I pretty much grab them seasonally at the supermarket or bookstore. The only subscription I still keep up with is my LUCKY magazine. When creat-ing these 3 publications I examined why I have become that way and the answer simply is... LUCKY is pretty much a magazine for people who love shop-ping. It’s one long page af-ter page advertisement for what I love. I have a library of LUCKY magazines in my bookcase.

From that little exercise I learned that one, I don’t want to pay for anything that I am only going to utilize a small percentage of and two, I am too busy to deal with getting my information piece meal.

I pick up niche publica-tions all the time, book-mark, or tear out things that I want to keep. When I want to hear the world events, I jump on line with my morning coffee and grab the highlights. I prefer to drill down and see just what is of interest to me.

I think I am pretty typi-cal so when I created the three magazines, PULSE, VITAL and CASTLE, I designed them with me in mind! I want quick little tidbits of information, do-it-yourself tips to keep me healthy, my home beauti-ful, I want to know what’s going on around me and I don’t want to have to search all over to find out where the sales are, what restaurants have cook-

ing, where to find music, live bands, dancing, dinner theaters... Well, you get my point. I want it, when I want it and I don’t want to work very hard to get it! I think we have become a society of instant gratifica-tion addicts!!

“Why 3?”

Like I said, I like to focus on things that interest me. PULSE is the who, what, when and where maga-zine. I hope to get to the point where if something is being planned for, the organizers wouldn’t dream of not sending it into the PULSE calendar of events! I see PULSE as the “if you need it, want it, want to do something fun... You’ll find it” magazine.

whether that means a one bedroom apartment or a gated mansion. My first love was interior design so decorating and maintaining my home is always at the

top of my list of interests. My hubby is a do-it-your-

selfer and is always looking for projects... so with him in mind, CASTLE will have

lots of DIYS focuses.

“So you’re NOT super woman?”

Laughing, Janet replies, “Nope... Can’t even pre-tend to be a super hero, but I feel very ready for this adventure! I am the daughter of a publisher and have just recently

retired from a 34 year long career at my family’s publishing business, Lee Publications out of Palatine Bridge, NY. Its focus is on trade publications, Busi-

ness to Business targeted publi-cations mostly. I was taught the power of a niche at a very young age!

I had the extreme good fortune to have printer’s ink in my veins! I was taught the business from the ground up by working in every single area of the busi-ness with the exception of actually printing the publica-tions. I guess

my Dad thought that “man’s work” and left that in my very capable

brother’s hands!Graphic design is a

specialty and that will allow me to help the business owner create an effective

ad campaign. I take a lot of pressure off of the shop keeper... I have great ideas, and can turn those into fantas-tic, eye catching ads that will make those

cash registers sing without making their check books cry! I feel like my experi-ence and love of design will quickly be recognized as a great tool for all of the Oneida County merchants.

I have been somewhat overwhelmed by the reception of the local busi-ness people. I feel like I am

“I am not looking to get rich here, I just want to make a decent living and offer a great product to the business owners and residents of Oneida County.”

VITAL is designed for people like me, empty nesters with a bit more expendable income that don’t feel comfortable in the 20 something crowds anymore. I am at a point in my life where my health is super important to me, staying healthy and active, planning for my future re-tirement, traveling to new places and all that.

Originally all three magazines were to premier in November of ‘11 but since my “cape” is at the dry cleaners and they moved my phone booth... CAS-TLE will be launched in March of ‘12!. Focusing on the launch of PULSE and VITAL first and after a few issues bring on the third seemed a bit more realistic once I dug in!

CASTLE will feature everything for the home,

quickly becoming a part of the communities I am serving with the magazines. It feels incredible to walk in and be recognized and be greeted by name and with a smile... Just a few weeks ago, we were all strangers... Now we are becoming friends!

I would like to personally thank everyone for making me feel welcome and for giving me a chance in this economic environment! I just know that these maga-zines will work for all of us... Advertiser, reader, and Pulse Point Press!!

Reduce stress with relaxation must-haves

Stress has become a daily part of people’s lives. De-

spite its detriments to health and well-being, stress seems to be something most people can’t shake. Increasing the num-ber of relaxation tools around the house may prove effective at reducing stress.

Pick any number of surveys and you’re likely to find that the general public is stressed out. A survey by Northwest-ernNatural Life indicates that 40 percent of workers re-port that their job is “very or extremely”stressful. A National Health Interview survey indi-cates that 75 percent of the general population experiences some stress every two weeks. Forty-two percent of people questioned by an American Psychological Association study found that stress has increased in the last few years.

Considering more than half of all Americans are concerned with the level of stress in their everyday lives, the following steps to reduce stress might be very helpful to millions of people across the country.

Hot Tub

Water, heat and massage ther-apy as provided by a hot tub can alleviate many of the body strains caused by stress. Raising

core body temperature for 15 minutes around 90 minutes before bed has been shown to induce a more restful sleep. Heat also dilates blood vessels to increase blood flow to sore or damaged tissue. In addition, water provides buoyancy that reduces strain on muscles and joints. Add the gentle massage from spa bubbles and the body is relaxed. This, in turn, can help turn off the mind and facilitate feelings of ease.

Exercise Equipment

Having a stationary bike, treadmill or elliptical

trainer in the home can entice people to get moving. Exercise is a known mood-booster. In a 2007 study at Duke Univer-sity, exercise was shown to reduce major depression as well as standard antidepres-sant medication. Stress and depression are often linked. Exercise releases endorphins into the body, which can banish the blues. Other studies have shown that as little as ten min-utes of brisk walking raises the mood and increases the energy level of people for up to two hours after the walk.

Massage

Few things can reduce stress as much as the feeling of

human hands working the kinks

out of tense muscles. Mas-sage can alleviate pain, reduce anxiety and may even improve immune system function.

There are many different types of massages avail-

able. A person can certainly invest in a massage table for home and have a spouse or family member do the massage. However, most prefer to visit a spa or rehabilitation center and rely on a trained professional.

Swimming

A pool, much like a hot tub, can foster feelings of

relaxation. Swimming combines the stress-relief of water with the benefits of exercise. Daily swimming can shake off the stress of work and family life.

Alternative Therapies

Everything from accupunc-ture to aromatherapy to

music therapy can be tried in an effort to staunch stress. Following in the footsteps of Eastern cultures, many people

are finding meditation, yoga, deep breathing and Tai Chi are effective at calming the mind and the body. Look for local classes where these activities are offered, or simply try them at home.

Stress is something that is a part of most people’s lives, but it doesn’t have to be an over-whelming factor. With a few simple stress-relief techniques, individuals can feel calmer and healthier.

(MS) -- When buying anything from furniture to electronics, consumers are often inclined to turn to their nearby big box store as a first stop in compari-son shopping. Although these retailers do offer competitive prices, they may not be the best options for consumers trying to get the best price and service. Bou-tique shops, and local merchants, often offer com-petitive prices and better over-all service than bigger chains.

1: Shop Price, Not Location

Price is a major factor in where people shop. Millions of people turn to retail giants thinking they will get the best prices, but a little research can yield other find-ings. While some bigger chains may offer doorbuster sales luring customers, in general, prices on most everyday items are the same or higher than other retailers. All it takes is an online comparison of a certain product to show the similarity in pricing. According to University

of Utah assistant marketing professors Arul and Himanshu Mishra, it’s common to find

3 Ways to Save Money by Shopping SmartShop Local for Better Customer Service

similar pricing on most items in many big box stores. Therefore, these retailers use big-ticket items to attract customers, who then just stay in the store to get the remaining higher-margin items and accessories on their lists.

Shopping in smaller stores or independent online retail-

ers may be preferable to many consumers. The trend is to re-vitalize “Main Street America” by shopping smaller retailers and Mom & Pop establishments. Some companies actually offer incentives to do so.

2: Aim for Better Ser-vice

Big name stores may be popular, but shopping there may come with a few sacrifices. Poor customer service and limited understanding of how

items work are often the case. Many independent retailers offer price matching to remain competitive with the larger merchants in the area, and it’s hard to beat independent retailers on customer service or the availability of a wide selection of distinct items.

3: Reduce Stress With Smaller Crowds

It’s hard to comparison shop or even get essentials when the shopping experience is

stressful. Another advantage to shop-ping smaller retail-ers is that shoppers don’t have to drive long distances, fight crowds, endure long lines, or hunt for parking spots, making for a more relaxed shopping experience.

Customers who normally lean toward bigger retailers may want to experience the benefits of shop-

ping outside the box.

Beauty Tips for Busy WomenWomen are juggling much

more today than in years past. According to U.S. Census Bureau reports from 2002, 31 percent of married couples with children are two-income families, and many women are balancing work, family, social obligations, and additional activities. This can leave little time for personal grooming.

However, looking your best doesn’t require a lot

of time or money. In fact, by focusing on a few areas, you can put your best face forward despite being under a time crunch.

* Invest in a good

haircut.

Consult with a

stylist who knows his or her stuff. Ask for recommendations on what cut will work for your facial shape, lifestyle and trends you desire. You want something that works for you and doesn’t re-quire a lot of effort to achieve. For example, if you’re time-pressed and your ‘do requires 40 minutes of blow-drying every morning, it may not be practical for your situation. Work with your hair type instead of against it. Investing in a good cut is a beauty secret every woman should know.

* Select dual-purpose prod-ucts.

Saving time can often mean using beauty products that

serve more than one purpose. For example, a moisturizer that’s also a sunblock saves on the extra step of applying SPF. Some mineral powder prod-ucts serve as a foundation and a oil-reducing finish coat. For women who want to skip a foundation, tinted moisturizers are also an option.

* Play up your eyes.

Bright eyes give the im-pression of being well-

rested and healthy. If you spend time on anything in your beauty

regimen, it should be adding some impact to your eyes, even if this just means using some mascara and applying a highlight under the browline and in the corners of the eyes. Don’t for-get to cover under-eye circles if they are a problem.

you could miss it.”

* Don’t overlook your hands.

Hands have a way of giving away your age.

Many women who use age-defying products or enlist in the help of plastic surgery fail to realize that their hands can reveal their age. Always mois-

turize and care for your hands. Routine mani-cures can help tame cuticles and keep nails and hands in top form. Use sun protection on your hands to avoid wrinkling and age spots from sun exposure.

* Whiten your teeth.

Putting a fresh-face for-ward also involves having

a great smile. There are many inexpensive, over-the-counter whitening products that can lighten the shade of your teeth dramatically. They can be used while you’re taking care of other tasks, such as laundry or making dinner, maximizing your time.

Popping the question? Simple tips so she’ll say ‘yes’ (MS) -- According to David

Tutera(TM), wedding guru and party-planning expert, “Men should propose with personal-ity, making it echo something meaningful to your relation-ship with one another and do it in a place that highlights your love story.” That certainly sounds like good advice. But while women seem to have the knack for conjuring up perfect wedding-related ideas, men tend to be a bit clueless on the subject.

Naturally, the first element involved with a proposal is buy-ing an engagement ring. “This is not just any ring ... it is ‘the’ ring that she’ll cherish for the rest of her life, and may pos-sibly pass down to her children in the future,” says jewelry expert, Michael O’Connor, “There’s a very good chance the bride has a platinum engagement ring in mind. It’s possible that she’s even offered hints about it, leaving magazine photos on the table or admir-ing a ring in a jewelry store window.”

Platinum is a great choice for engagement rings and wedding bands because it won’t change color or fade. It symbolizes a relationship that will endure. Also, platinum’s durability means that your engagement ring can become a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation.

When selecting a setting, experts recommend putting some thought into a design that is classic because this will

be a ring that she will cherish through the ages.

“Choose a setting that truly reflects how you feel about your partner,” says Tutera. “Platinum lasts forever.”

Although the ring is a very important component of the entire proposal, make it memo-rable. “How did he propose?” is often the first question her girlfriends will ask once she has gotten engaged.

Whether taking place at the beach or a page right out of a fairytale, many women dream of a memorable proposal.

In a recent contest on Glam-our.com, contest entrant Briana D. from New York offers the following hint, “I have always dreamt of a fairy-tale proposal and what better way to drop the ball then to draw out the ring design that I have in mind, fold it up and stick it in an envelope with a love note and his name on it.”

There are many other proposal ideas that can secure this special moment. Con-sider these tips, courtesy of O’Connor.

* Make it personal. Pro-pose at a place that has great meaning for your relation-ship -- where you first met, or the place where you first said “I love you.” Think about the romantic places you have visited together that can serve as the perfect backdrop for a proposal.

“If I’m not back in five minutes... wait longer!”Jim Carrey as Ace Ventura Pet Detective

Options abound for aspiring guitaristsThe popularity of the Guitar

Hero(R) video game series has reconnected music fans with their favorite musicians of yesteryear and introduced adults and children alike to gen-erations of artists they might otherwise never have heard.While the video games have

proven fun to gamers of all ages, they have also inspired some to pick up a real guitar and learn to play. For those hoping to become the next legendary guitarist, consider the follow-ing guitar types to get you started.* Acoustic: Fans of acoustic

guitar afficionados like Bob Dylan or Dave Matthews might prefer these hollow guitars made of thin wood. Acoustic guitars aren’t plugged in, so par-ents paying the bill for a child’s newfound passion for guitar won’t have to worry about buying an amplifier. Country and folk music are popular music genres that feature the acoustic guitar.

* Electric: The electric guitar is ideal for those who love guitar greats from Jimi Hendrix to Jimmy Page. To make the most of an electric guitar, aspiring guitarists will, at the very least, need an amplifier. * Acoustic-electric: Most

acoustic guitars used by profes-sional musicians are acoustic-electric guitars, which utilize pre-installed pickups that

allow them to be plugged into am-plifiers. Aspiring guitarists unsure of which style they prefer might want to consider an acoustic-elec-tric model, which gives them some leeway when they

start learning some songs from different genres of music.* Hollow-body: Aspiring blues-

men should consider a hollow-body guitar. Made similarly to traditional electric guitars, hollow-body models have a chamber cut in the body that provides more sonic resonance, making them ideal options for those who just need to sing the blues.

Rest Assured: Finding the Right Mattress Overhauling a bedroom involves different renovations. Purchasing a new mattress is among the typical upgrades when refurbishing the bed-room.

It can be difficult to deter-mine when it’s time to buy a new mattress. An older mat-tress may still seem comfort-able. Unlike a light bulb that burns out or an appliance that no longer works efficiently, detecting changes in mattress comfort can be a little more challenging.

Obvious signs include sagging or lumping of the mattress, creaking and unsupportive edges. However, subtle signs can be recognized by the rest a person gets -- or rather, how little rest a person gets. Difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep or feeling unrefreshed after awakening may be signs that it’s time to replace the

mattress. Back pain or stiffness can also be indicators.

Size

It’s important to find the right size mattress for one’s needs.

Twin and full-size mattresses should be reserved for solo sleepers, primarily children. Couples who try to squeeze onto a full mattress will defi-nitely find themselves compet-ing for space.

Queen mattresses are a pre-ferred option for many couples. They can also be a good choice for single sleepers who like to sprawl out. Queen mattresses are 5 inches longer than full mattresses, making them ideal for taller people.

King mattresses are the largest of the offerings. They provide 38 inches of sleeping space per sleeper (2) in the bed. That’s the equivalent of a twin mattress each.

Support System

Mattresses are constructed in different ways, offering different levels of comfort and durability.

Inner-spring: Several rows of coiled springs form the inner suspen-

sion of this type of mattress. Foam and padding cover the springs. Some inner-spring mattresses have an individually wrapped coil system rather than inter-connected springs. This reduces movement distur-

bances.Latex and memory foam:

These mattresses feature several layers of foam or latex to form the mattress. They are especially good at reducing the feeling of motion, which is a boon for couples who are often awakened by their bed partner.

Softness

Depending on the position of sleeping, certain mattresses are better than others.

Back and stomach sleepers should consider a firm mattress because they properly align the spine. Plus, firm mattresses are better for couples who share a bed and have different sleeping needs. They’re firm enough for back and stomach sleepers, yet soft enough to eliminate pres-sure points for side sleepers.

Side sleepers may want a pil-lowtop mattress, which will be the softest of the options. This eliminates extra pressure in the hips and shoulders.

Vintage T-Shirts Gain New Life as Unique Holiday Gifts


* Cut up T-shirts to make a scrapbook of certain times in a person’s life. Include funny anecdotes, photographs and artwork to customize the book for the

recipient.

* Head to the local craft store and pick up an empty shadowbox frame. Fold a friend or loved one’s prized T-shirt and place it on display in the shad-owbox The “artwork” can then be

displayed in a bedroom or den.

* Turn T-shirts into a deco-rative or cuddly quilt for adults and children.

* Talented sewers can turn vintage T-shirts into new works of fashionable attire. For example, a graphic tee can be sewn to an elastic-waisted skirt to create a pull-on dress perfect for a budding fashionista. Down-size favorite T-shirts so they can be worn by children.

That sports jersey from sophomore year of high school has seen better days, but you can’t seem to part with it even now. What about that hair band concert T-shirt you’re too embarrassed to admit is still tucked in the back of your closet?

T-shirts hold special places in the hearts of many people. Now quirky, athletic and downright memorable tees can be turned into customized gifts for every-one on a holiday shopping list.

T-shirts tell a lot about a person -- interests, political views, favorite sports teams -- and more. The average person has a collection of T-shirts acquired through the years taking up space in closets and drawers, all because it can be difficult to throw out shirts that have so many memories. Clever gift-givers can use these T-shirt collections to cre-ate unique and thoughtful gifts that will be appreciated throughout the years. Here are some ideas for gifting.

* Think back to all of those chick flicks you were persuaded into watching. Was there a proposal scene that she gushed about or another movie moment that stood out? Consider recreating that feeling in the proposal. If need be, man up and rewatch her favorite movies for ideas.

* Consider spontane-ity. Simply scratch “Will you marry me” in the sand while walking on the beach and hand her the ring in a seashell.

* Do it the old fashioned, and tried-and-true way. Bend

down on one knee with a rose and ring in hand.

“Remember, the proposal and engagement doesn’t have to be expensive to be memorable. Simply keep in mind the personality and likes of the bride-to-be and chances are she’ll jump to say,’yes,’” says O’Connor. He adds, “Almost every qual-ity jewelry designer creates rings in platinum, some even starting at under $1,000, making it easy to find something that will work with her style and fit within almost every budget.”

The Cripple of InishmaanNov. 11 - 13 (Fri-Sun)

Nov. 17-19 (Fri-Sun)Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland in 1934, this play is a strange comic tale in the great tradi-tion of Irish storytelling. As word arrives on Inishmaan that the Hollywood director Robert Flaherty is coming to the neighboring island of Inishmore to film “Man of Aran,” the one person who wants to be in the film more than anybody is young Cripple Billy, if only to break

away from the bitter tedium of his daily life. Playwright McDonagh has created char-acters for whom the fine line between cruelty and kindness is slender.Players of Uticawww.playersofutica.org315-724-7624

Pirate SchoolNov 19 SatDiscover your ‘inner-swashbuckler’ with this madcap, slap-dash pirate training academy. Featured in New York Magazine’s “Best Of New York: Kids!” this one-man vaudeville spoofs the Golden Age of Sail and satisfies children’s universal curiosity about the briny buccaneers of yore. Kid’s rejoice as their boisterous natures are drummed up by the “generally good pirate” Billy Bones and his antic pi-rate lessons.
