Safety Tip
To prevent food-born illnesses, use a cooking thermometer to determine if your Thanksgiving turkey is fully cooked. The meat should reach 180 degrees, and if the bird is stuffed, the stuffing must reach at least 165 degrees.

Energy Tip
Dirty furnace filters restrict airflow and increase energy use. Replace or clean furnace filters once a month. The day you receive your gas or electric bill can serve as a handy reminder that it's time to change the filter.

Updates for state employees from the N.C. Office of State Personnel are available online.
