Instead of resolutions youre likely to break or expensive gym memberships you won't use, try out some quick moves from the ancient art of feng shui to help ensure this year is your best one yet.

Feng shui coach Susan Chan has been consulting clients on how to balance their lives for over 10 years. She gave Mashable insider tips that take minutes, with results that last much longer.

Your external world is a representation of whats going on inside of you, Chan says. When something in your home is off it affects your mood, its the internal and the external constantly going back and forth.

Take a second, pretend youre in an airplane and locate the exit nearest to you. If it happens to be behind you, Chan suggests you get that doorway in sight or else risk being energetically unsettled.

She calls the concept the command position. At one time, this meant you could see your enemies in case of attack; now it's translated to being in control of your life.

If moving your desk around isnt very realistic, try placing a small mirror on your desk so surprises will have nothing on you.

Pope Francis has electrified Roman Catholics in the United States with the open, accepting tone he has brought to the role, and his first visit later this year is expected to draw more than a million followers eager to set eyes on him.

The leader of the 1.2 billion-member church will also face a challenge in improving relations with conservative US Catholics, who have expressed dismay at his shift in focus away from issues like abortion and same-sex marriage, which the church has long opposed but Francis contends need not obsess about.

The city of Philadelphia began preparations more than a year ago for the pontiff's visit in September, at the end of the weeklong World Meeting of Families.

"What fascinates me is the degree to which he has captured the attention of Catholics and non-Catholics. I find myself in social meetings with non-Catholics talking about the Pope, and he's the subject of great hope," said Mark Mullaney, chairman of Voice of the Faithful, a lay Catholic organization founded in Boston in 2002 in response to the clergy sex abuse scandal.

"He's opened doors and windows that have not been open in a long time, and encouraged discussion."

Some 74 per cent of non-Catholics in America view Francis favorably, with some 93 per cent of Catholics reporting a favorable view, according to a 2014 poll by the Pew Research Center. Both findings were well above his 60 percent favorability rating worldwide.

Francis is also more popular with the roughly 76 million US Catholics than his predecessor, Benedict XVI, according to Pew, though not so beloved as John Paul II, who held the papacy for more than a quarter-century until his death in 2005. He was elevated to sainthood in 2014.

A vocal advocate of human rights, John Paul II drew crowds of over a million at outdoor events during his five formal US visits, while Benedict's 2008 trip was less grand in scale.

Francis has won praise for his decision to live in a simple Vatican guesthouse and not the palace his predecessors have called home for centuries. He has also captured Americans' attention by showing a more tolerant side of the church, famously answering a question on homosexuality: "If a person is gay and seeks God and has good will, who am I to judge him?"

Like his predecessors, Francis has used his influence to improve diplomatic relations between countries and played a key role in last month's restoration of US-Cuba ties. Francis wrote personal letters urging rapprochement to US President Barack Obama and his Cuban counterpart, Raul Castro, and allowed the Vatican to host secret talks. Before his visit to Asia this week, Francis urged a similar thaw between North Korea and South Korea.

WINDSOR For the second time this week, firefighters were asked to respond to a possible fire at a local restaurant.

Deputy Fire Chief Jamie Juteau said the Jan. 16 early afternoon call was the result of a small electrical fire at the Sweet Williams Restaurant in Windsor.

Staff had reported seeing an arc and some fire come out from the top of one of their refrigeration units. They called 911, said Juteau, who was the first firefighter on scene.

He said the staff did the right thing by calling them in.

The fire at that point appeared to be out but we isolated the power to the units affected and checked it over with thermal imaging cameras, said Juteau.

Firefighters also checked the top of the unit to see if there was any extension of the fire.

The restaurant, located at MacLeod House, didnt have to close due to the fire as they had multiple storage units at their disposal.

We instructed them they should clear out that section of cooler and couldnt use it until the electrician was brought in to check it out, said Juteau.

Recently, I attended the 100th birthday party of a friend. His choice of present? An iPad.

At the party, the birthday boy gave a wonderful speech saying, among other things, that hed just flown for the first time to Israel and fulfilled a long-held ambition to swim in the Dead Sea.

Of course, its exceptional to be this lively at the age of 100. But, these days, provided were relatively free from the debilitating effects of disease, theres no reason why we shouldnt be able to live independently well into our nineties, as well as still take trains and buses, drive a car and enjoy going for walks.

Make Tobys Dream a reality

This is an open letter to everyone in the Lakes Region area who is a friend and supporter of the Windham veterans and our past president Toby Pennels.

While president of the Windham Veterans Association from June of 2012 until his death in September 2014, Tobys Dream plan was to pave the Windham Veteran Center parking lot and access road to connect with the parking lot pavement behind the Windham Mall as a way to move the Windham Veteran Center into a better position.

One of Tobys first acts for improvements of the center as a public rental hall in order to increase our rental income, was to establish an account within our WVA budget labeled Paving. We have been making deposits in this account when able and the balance today is $4,168. The goal to complete this project is $50,000.

The WVA has dedicated this fundraising project in honor and memory of Toby and we have obtained town approval to rename the paved entrance drive starting at the mall pavement, Toby Pennels Veterans Memorial Drive.

The WVA feels sure there are lots of people who will want to donate to this project to ensure Tobys name will forever be remembered in connection with his beloved veterans center as people drive in and out of our driveway. We truly believe a veteran has not really died as long as his name continues to be said everlasting. In case we are fortunate enough to receive more money than is needed specifically for the paving, we hereby promise every penny received for this project will be used to further perpetuate Tobys name.

For example, if received funds allow us to, we would like to expand and enhance the entrance to our drive with more robust and elaborate granite pillars and signage. Also, on the right side of the drive, going in, people have suggested a row of appropriately spaced evergreen trees to cover the unsightly brush. Also, on the left side of the drive, going in, people have suggested a paved sidewalk for people who often walk our driveway with their dogs.

The expected long-range outcome of this successful project will be a significant increase in rental income, Tobys dream, which will allow the WVA to make significant improvements and upgrades on the inside/outside of the building and grounds, thereby creating additional rentals which will therein make the WVC financially self-sustaining.

For the record, all of WVA income is spent on the maintenance and betterment of the building and grounds. There is not ever even one penny paid to any veteran for all the hundreds of hours of volunteer work they do.

The community, the people of the Greater Windham area, have been physically and financially involved and supportive of the successful building of the building in 1999 and also in the creation and town dedication of Veterans Memorial Park in 2005 and Memorial Gardens in 2006. For those that helped us financially in the past, we thank you. We could not have what we have today without your help. However, in order to maintain and sustain what we have today, we need to find a way to increase our rental income. We believe in Tobys business skills and his decision to choose paving as the answer to our financial income problems.

Rochester, N.Y. - Hes facing felony charges for defrauding at least 33 people. 13 WHAM News has uncovered new information about this snow plow operator, raising new questions about his past.

39 year old Scott Romero may have avoided prosecution and jail in Buffalo in 2011, but as part of the lawsuit filed by the attorney general he agreed to pay his victims back. Now theres evidence of other claims made in Rochester before that date.

Claims were filed against Romero, who was doing business under a different company name. While the claims are not part of the current criminal case, they do help to paint a pattern of behavior required to prove a felony.

As soon as I saw him on the news on television, I said, 'oh my God thats the guy who sat right here in the kitchen,' said Sue Bianchi.

His name may be Scott Romero, yet thats not the name on the contract he signed when he agreed to plow Sue and Joe Bianchis driveway in Greece this season. Instead, he used the name Andy Stewart.

At least 33 people in eight Monroe County towns contracted with Stewart and his company Metro, or Met Construction. They claim they never received the services they were promised.

Romeros lawyer says it will be difficult to prove this was intentional and not simply bad business.

Intent is what the person was thinking at the time. If the matter proceeds to litigation, that is something that we will challenge, said Attorney Dan Aureli.

Questions remain whether Romero changed his name to cover up a past that included the settlement of a lawsuit brought by Attorney General Eric Schneiderman in Buffalo in 2011.
