Earlier this year, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine sponsored Kiplinger’s Jump-Start Your Retirement Plan Days, in which professional financial advisors gave free advice to anyone who called and requested it. The financial experts covered topics such as subjects of investments, taxes, insurance, estate planning, and saving for college and retirement.
Now Kiplinger’s is sponsoring a similar event for long term care insurance.
Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance (AALTCI) are partnering for the first time to offer two Long-Term Care Phone-In Days. On Thursday, November 13th and Friday, November 21st from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time, AALTCI members will be standing by, ready to field your inquiries about long-term care insurance and long-term care planning. You don’t pay a cent—not even for the call. Just dial toll-free 877-KIPTIP1 (877-547-8471).
Long term care is a good idea for many people
My grandmother has been living in an assisted care facility for several years now. She suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and it is doubtful she will ever be able to take care of herself again. It is a difficult experience not to be able to take care of your parent or loved one, or witness them not be able to take care of themselves.
Long term disability care is something everyone should think about at a certain point in their life. But since everyone’s situation is different, I recommend speaking with a professional who can help you better understand your needs. This is a great chance to get some free information and get you started in the right direction.

Pretreat both pieces together if there are any stains. Lay each piece side by side and spray with a pretreatment spray. If soaking is needed, place both pieces in a bath of warm water and pretreatment spray.

Wash the pieces of the set to at the same time to avoid one piece changing color separately. Use a detergent that is specifically for bright colors to help hold the set's color.

How to Care for a Tweed Vest
How to Care for a Tweed Vest
Tweed vests are a glorious addition to any wardrobe. But tweed can be confusing to care for. All you need is a little know how and patience.

Step1
Know your best option. Dry cleaning is always the best option for tweed. It upholds the fabric, which makes it last longer. You don't have to dry clean your tweed every time you wear it. Once a tweed vest has been dry cleaned, it will stay clean for several wearings, as long as it doesn't get stained.
Step2
Spot clean your tweed vest. If you get food stuck on your garment, you can usually get it out yourself. Allow the food to dry. Take a toothbrush or butter knife and gently scrape off the food. Be very gentle and patient. If the food was not absorbed by the tweed, this may save you lots of money on dry cleaning.
Step3
Use a pumice stone to get rid of unwanted fuzz balls that tend to gather on tweed. Gently rub the stone across the garment. The stone will rub off the fuzz. You can also take tweezers and pick off the fuzz.
Step4
Always hang up your tweed garments after wearing them. This will help them keep their shape and leave you with less trips to the cleaners. This also eliminates having to press the vest the next time you want to wear it.
Step5
Store tweed in cedar bags or in a closet with cedar balls when not in use. This will keep away moths, which can eat holes in your tweed.

Step1
Call out to see if anyone knows CPR. There may be a health professional or someone with CPR experience within earshot who can help you. Continue to call out at least a few times, loud enough to let passersby hear you. Tell them you need help. Ask if anyone knows CPR.
Step2
If the person is an infant (under 12 months), put your ear to his mouth and listen for any breathing. If the infant is not breathing, go directly to the related eHow at the bottom of this page.
Step3
Look for a Medical Alert tag on his wrist. If he has one, do what it says.
Step4
Tap him on the shoulder and ask him if he is all right. If you get a response ask him his name, and use it.
Step5
Check his airway. Gently tilt his head back with your palm on his forehead, and with your other hand lift his chin, as if you are pulling his chin out. This will open up the airway and allow for air to easily pass through his nose and mouth to his lungs. Do Not Tilt His Head If You Suspect Neck or Head Injury!!!!
Step6
Check his breathing. Look at his chest to see if he is breathing, then put your hand on his chest to see if it rises.
Step7
Check his circulation. Place your index and middle fingers on the side of his neck directly below his chin between the front of the throat and the muscle that is next to it.
Step8
Call 911 if he has been unconscious more than a minute or two.
Step9
Tell the operator to send a paramedic.
Step10
Be ready to give the 911 operator the following information: The address of your current location, the approximate age of the person who fainted, what you know about him regarding his current condition (whether he is unconscious, partially conscious, incoherent, having convulsions, drifting in and out of consciousness, etc.), the events leading up to this, and any medical history you may know about the person (diabetes, past heart attacks, past strokes, etc.)
Step11
Loosen any tight clothing at his neck or waist.
Step12
Stay with him; ask often how he is doing, if he is okay. Reassure him.
