daunting for some, but, for

Veronica Beltran, its all in a

days business.

The diminutive

woman, who hails fromJuarez, Mexico, but is now a

U.S. citizen, started Pitas

Bakey & Restaurant, at 12295

Pellicano, Ste. 6, where she

dishes out such Mexican deli-

cacies as menudo, caldo de

dishes. However, she also has

a new concept. Instead of

burritos on a traditional tor-

tilla, she offers Pita bread, a

Greek concoction that flattersany dish.

Weve only been opened forone month, and already peo-

ple are flocking to taste our

delicious Pita Bread, which

we offer as a change from the

typical burrito, Beltran said.

Although its hard to change

some peoples habits, they in-

Why Not Me? Why Cant I Have a National Adoption Awareness Month illustrates plight of children awaitin

Thousands of older foster

can't I have a family?" During

November, which is NationalAdoption Awareness Month,

the Texas Department of

Family and Protective Serv-

This month, mass adoptions

adopted from state care in

Texas. Yet the need for safe

and loving homes has not di-

minished - more than 5,800

children in Texas foster care

are awaiting adoption today.

These children and teenagersdesperately need the love, at-

tention, and stability only an

adoptive family can give

them, says Audrey

Deckinga, DFPS assistant

commissioner for Child Pro-

tective Services. Almost half

of these children are 10 years

of age or older. These older

children tend to linger in the

system longer - but no matter

their age, children never out-grow the need for parents

Last year 98 El Paso areafoster children were adopted.

Currently, there are 105 chil-

dren waiting to be adopted in

the El Paso area.

Texas needs foster and adop-

tive parents for children of all

ages. Some of these children

When was trecorded in

Since we are beginning to experience

some colder air its a good time to review

ways to save energy and thus lower our

energy bills. Did you know that almost

30 percent of our energy bill goes to heat

our homes?

Here are some ways to re-

duce your home heating

costs:- Turn down the thermostat. Home heating experts say that by lowering it by just 1 de-

gree can reduce heating energy costs by 4% or between $20 and $40, depending on the fuel used to heat the home.

- Plug leaks Gaps between windows and doors may be small, but they can collectively add up to big energy

losses. Plugging these leaks with caulk or other materials is the first action homeowners should take to combat high

heating fuel costs. By sealing those leaks and installing proper insulation, especially in the attic and crawl spaces,

El Paso households can reduce home heating costs by up to $100- $205 per year, depending on the fuel used.

One of my brothershas two college-age daugh-ters. Both are vegan, and heinsisted that all the dishes webrought be vegan! I did it, butI resented it because I feltthat two out of 13 peopleshould not decide the menu.

If they wanted vegan dishes,they should bring somethingfor themselves, while the restof us brought what wewanted.

My brother andnieces are now asking whatwe're doing this year forThanksgiving. Frankly, Idon't want to go through thatagain. Am I wrong in think-ing everyone should not bend

Going Dark and Lush Can Compensate for SRose Bennett Gilbert

Q: Our new apartment hasthe smallest living room!

Everyone is telling us to

paint it white "to make it lookbigger" and get rid of our

sofa "too big for the

room."

The trouble is that we already

have a rug, a nice sofa and

chairs we don't want to part

with. So, what should we do?

A: My advice: When you're

boxed into small space, thinkoutside of the box! Conven-

tional wisdom would have

you paint everything white or

light. Unconventional think-

ing from design pros like

Benjamin Bradley and David

Thiergartner (bradleythier-

gartnerinteriors.com)

would send you in the oppo-

site direction, to the darker

end of the color spectrum.

As Bradley told me "Muted

and dark colors can work bet-

ter than light colors they

recede; they make walls sim-

ply float away."

The design team, who en-

couraged the pictured smallliving room, also eschews

scaled-down furniture and

bare floors. "Petite furniture

simply feels skimpy and

stingy," Bradley said. "It

lacks that feeling of lushness

we like. It's just not luxuri-

ous."

Ditto for naked floors. The

designers suggest using

fewer pieces of furniture

that's comfortably sized. And

carpet the room: Choose a

rug that's large enough to

cover the entire floor, but

leave a frame of bare wood

(9 inches to 12 inches wide)

all around the perimeter.

"And remember," Bradley re-

minds, "no rule says you

can't let the furniture's backlegs fall off the rug." Nobody

will notice, he promised, and

the space will look larger as a

result.

Q: Outdoors, looking in?

A: New outdoor furniturecouldn't be more "in"! Or

more like the indoor furniture

you want to snuggle on.

Thanks to minor miracles of

modern technology like

Sunbrella (and other

indoor/outdoor) fabrics, plus

modern thinking by an icono-

clastic German designer furniture that's supposed to

live on the patio or porch

would look right at home in

your living room.

On the other hand, some of

the new indoor pieces we

saw at the fall Furniture Mar-

ket in High Point, N.C., look

as if the great outdoors is

their natural habitat.

Brown Jordan mega-manu-

facturer of outdoor furnish-

ings, debuted an innovative

collection by German de-

signer Mathias Hoffmann,

which features what he calls

"sexy pullovers" stretchy

knitted slipcovers that pullover the aluminum frames of

chairs and sofas. Available in

red, black, brown and a

salt/pepper combo (and de-

signed to last four or more

years) the covers let you re-

as easily as your indoor liv-

ing room.

Dogfrienprop

Universal Uclick

One thing that never fails to

get a smile out of me is see-

ing my big orange cat, Ilario,

happily curled up and purringloudly next to and occa-

sionally on top of one of

my four dogs. I love how well

everyone gets along: They

dont just tolerate each other

they actually like each

other.

It didnt start out

that way, though. When Ilario

arrived as a kitten, he spent

more time puffed up and

ready to run than purring.Once he realized he wasnt in

able to relax and eventually

even warmed to their com-

pany. Some nights I even

catch him grooming my gen-

tlest dog, 14-year-old Drew.

Some cats and dogs

are never going to get along,but most can at least come to

an agreement about sharing

space. The trick is knowing

the basic steps to handling the

introductions.

Under no circum-

stances should dogs and cats

be introduced by throwing the

animals together and letting

them work out things on their

own. That method is far too

stressful even in the best ofconditions Its also important

ally for the cats. Some dogs

see cats as prey, and even

those dogs who are generally

easygoing may react instinc-

tively to a cat on the run by

attacking the smaller animal.

Introductions mustbe supervised and handled

with planning, care and pa-

tience.

If you have a cat

and are planning to bring in a

dog, try to find an animal

who is known to be accepting

of cats. Shelters and rescue

groups often know if an ani-

mal has successfully lived

with a cat, or they will test to

see how the dog behaves inthe presence of one (These

ITS GOOD FOR YOUR GAME


24/31

ITS GOOD FOR YOUR GAME

coA student came to me with a complaint that

she was hitting way behind the ball with her

irons. Not only was she hitting her irons fat,

but also she was hitting low pull hooks with

her driver. Needless to say, she was not a

happy camper.

During the interview, one of the things she

told me was that when she first started playing

10 years ago, her pro advised her she had to

stay behind the ball. After a few swings, it

was evident that she was trying to do just that.

Her first move down was to throw her

head/spine away from the target her inter-

pretation of staying behind the ball.

Too many golfers try to tilt their spine away

from the target during the downswing to get be-

hind the ball. On average, the human head

weighs 10 pounds, so forcing it to hang over

your back foot as you swing to the ball makes it

difficult to keep your upper swing center (just

under the throat) over the ball.

When you hang back, tryingto stay behind the ball two problems threaten:

hanging back can promote a flip where your

hands wrap around your body, sending

the ball wide of target.

In the photos below, Im demonstrating

correct spine control. I begin stacked at ad-

dress, with my head and spine straight up.

After impact Ive moved aggressively to my

left side and fired my core at

the target, but my swing center is essentially

covering the ball.

How much you slide your swing center de-

pends a lot on ball position the farther back

you play the ball, the less you move the hips

laterally. Players who use a more forward ball

placement move more laterally to cover the

ball at impact. But look at my head in relation

to the treetops

behind me.

Basically, the

head stays

while the hips

go.

TEEING OFF DONT MISS IT


25/31

TEEING OFF

The golf swing ends in a

finish pose that takes energy

to sustain. After youve fired

the clubhead through the hit-

ting area, the momentum of

your club, hands and armshas pulled your body into a

position where you are

standing erect, looking over

your right arm, watching the

ball fly toward the target with

all your weight on your front

foot.

However, contrary to what

the word finish implies,

you are not done yet. To suc-

cessfully complete a swing,

you should allow momentum

to rebound you into a posi-

tion I call the after-finish.

In the photo, Im continuing

to watch the ball fly toward

the target, but have rebound-

ed so that my upper arms are

no longer fully extended and

the club shaft is perpendicu-

lar to the ground with the

clubhead perpendicular to

my hands.

There are three important

reasons that you should con-

tinue through your finish po-

sition to an after-finish. First,

it is much easier on your

body. Holding the finish putslots of strain on your back,

and years of holding the fin-

ish could cause damage that,

in the extreme, could require

surgery.

Second, in a motion like

the golf swing that contracts

the muscles and stretches the

tendons, your body seeks to

return to the safety of a rest-

ing, non-tense state as soon

as possible, and it is the after-finish that allows it to do so.

Third, sustaining life is all

about maintaining energy

levels, and even in such a

minor event as a golf swing,

the brain is true to its charter

conserving energy

is much more efficient than

having to replace it.

The after-finish is a low-

energy state my body is eager

to seek. Holding the clubhead

above my hands makes the

clubhead effectively much

lighter, so if I choose to,

I could stand this way for

quite some time. The only

position more restful would

be to let the club slide

through my hands and fall to

the ground, but then I would

have to expend energy to

bend down and pick it up.

because the bag sits upright, making access to your c

R.I.P. Chrysler Goodbye dea

Eleven years ago, Chrysler

did a very brave and at the

time, unheard of thing: they

released a retro-styled com-

pact automobile that had the

look of a gangster. Named

the PT Cruiser, it was an

amazing success on the show-

room floor. Sales were explo-

sive with dealers easily

getting hundreds, even thou-

sands of dollars over the

listed price. And if you

wanted one, the wait was

long. Sadly, more than ten

years later, sales of the PT

Cruiser have dwindled withdealers slapping big incen-

tives on them. And Chrysler

is now saying that 2010 will

be the Cruisers final year.

The PT Cruiser (the PT

comes from Personal Trans-

port) is a five-seat compact

wagon that looks like it was

plucked out of the 1940s. But

are others who cant seem to

figure out why some fans

dont appreciate and support

Johnson, who is arguably one

of the best drivers ever in

NASCAR.

Johnsons Hendrick Motor-

sports teammate Jeff Gordon,

speaking with reporters at

Texas Motor Speedway last

week, had an easy answer for

why drivers would like to see

Johnson derailed in the final

Because they want to

win, Gordon said. I think

that there are probably twosides to it I think that and I

But 10 years from now, or

even 20 years from now,

youll look back on this time

look at how impressive it is

and how impactful its been to

the sport and how chances of

it ever happening again are

near impossible. And I think

it will be respected more and

way.

arent looking that far ahead.
