Simple ... and stylish! Finally, a fire extinguisher so attractive you could give it as a gift. HomeHero has successfully married safety and style with its sleek new Kitchen Fire Extinguisher ($24.97). Among its benefits is its unobtrusive look, so folks will be inclined to keep it out on the counter and within arm's length in case of an emergency. At 4.5 pounds and 16 inches high, it is easy to handle and simple to use: Pull the pin, aim and squeeze. It's available at Home Depot stores; www.homedepot.com.

CONSERVE



SAVE ON COMPUTER ENERGY USE

HECO issued these tips for saving energy on your computer:

  • Turn off the monitor if you're not going to use it for longer than 20 minutes.

  • Turn off the whole thing if you're off it longer than two hours.

  • Set up your "power down" or "sleep" function to do it automatically.

    Best bet? Plug everything into a power strip or surge protector and switch it off when you don't need your gadgets.

    FINAL WORD

    "I laugh and I joke, but I don't get distracted very easily. I never really did. I had a dream in high school and no one was going to take it away from me."
