New Leaf

My husband, Rocke Koreis, is the unique car buff that started us down this path. I am currently driving his old Smart Car while I am waiting for my Telsa. He just had to have the “all electric” Nissan Leaf, which we took delivery of this month. There are only 1,500 in the US and due to the earthquake in Japan it maybe a long-time before many more arrive. Rocke loves the car and is having a blast figuring out how to maximize the miles.

Coeur a la Crème with Raspberry Sauce

Coeur a la Crème with Raspberry Sauce is a delightfully light wonderfully tasting dessert. Coeur a la Crème means “Hearts of Cream” in French. To make this you will need to buy special molds from your local kitchen store or from an Internet store. They must be made at least a day in advance. Serving these on blue plates makes a great red, white and blue dessert for the fourth of July.

Employer’s Guide to the CLASS Act

The Community Living Assistance Services and Supports Act, or CLASS Act, is part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law by President Obama in March 2010. The CLASS Act establishes a national government-run long-term care insurance program, to be offered primarily through employers.

The CLASS Act is the federal government’s attempt to offer long-term care coverage to as many people as possible. However, the legislation has its share of shortcomings. Areas of concern include inadequate benefits, expensive premiums, and uncertain long-term viability.
