    MONEY

    SAVING

    COUPONS

    B

    y now you've heard

    that Washington final-

    ly extended the Bushtax cuts that were scheduled

    to expire on December 31,

    2010. This means the top

    rate stays at 35% (rather than

    39.6%) and the rate on capi-

    tal gains and qualified corpo-

    rate dividends stays capped at

    15% (rather than 20%). But

    the new law keeps taxes down

    for everyone, not just the

    highest earners. If those Bush

    cuts hadn't been extended,the 10% rate would have dis-

    appeared, and tax brackets

    would have increased faster

    for everyone. So don't think

    that you get no benefit just

    because you aren't in those

    top brackets!

    There's more good

    news, too. The law also

    cuts the employee por-tion of Social Security

    and self-employment

    taxes by 2% (for 2011

    only), and, restores the

    estate tax, but with only

    a 35% rate applying on

    estates over $5.0 mil-

    lion, (New Jersey Estate

    Tax is still at only

    $675,000.) Finally, it

    extends a list of popular

    tax breaks that werescheduled to expire: (1)

    it "patches" the Alternative

    Minimum Tax for two more

    years, thus protecting mil-

    lions of Americans from the

    AMT, (2) it extends the

    Child Tax Credit and

    American Opportunity Tax

    Credit (for college tuition),

    (3) it expands the Earned

    Income Tax Credit, (4) it

    extends bonus depreciation

    and first-year expensing for

    businesses, and (5) it extends

    miscellaneous tax breaks for

    expenses like educator

    expenses, state and local sales

    taxes, and IRA distributions

    given directly to charity.

    Now let's talk about

    what it all means. The

    reality is, the law's pro-visions will last for two

    years at most. That

    means Washington will

    have to fight it out all

    over again -- with a

    divided Congress, in a

    Presidential election

    year -- with another $2

    trillion or so added to

    the national debt (on

    top of the $13.9 trillion

    that's already there)! Ifthe economy continues

    to pick up over the next two

    years, there may be enormous

    pressure to increase taxes.

    This will make tax planning

    even more important over

    this period. So if you don't

    yet have a plan, take action

    In a study entitled "The

    Manga Report", prominent

    health economists Pran

    Manga and Douglas Angus of

    the University of Ottawa,Canada, found chiropractic

    management to be the best

    choice of health care for

    patients with low back pain -

    in terms of safety, scientific

    evidence of effectiveness, evi-

    dence of cost effectiveness

    and patient satisfaction.

    Commissioned by the OntarioMinistry of Health in response

    to that province's staggering

    public deficit of the early

    1990's, this landmark docu-

    ment represents the largest

    existing analysis of the scien-

    tific literature on low back

    pain to date.

    The Report's primaryfocus was to determine the

    most cost-effective health

    care service available for the

    treatment of low back pain.

    In an attempt to address the

    Ontario government's cost

    saving concerns, the Report

    concentrated on comparing

    the value of chiropractic andmedical management of this

    socially and economically

    crippling condition. The

    findings of the Report were

    based on a review of random-

    ized controlled trials, case

    control/cohort studies,

    descriptive studies and meta-

    analysis/literature reviews - in

    total, over 400 references

    concerning both chiroprac-

    tic and medical treatmentmethods.

    The following are the key

    findings of this study:

    1. On the evidence, particu-

    larly the most scientifically

    valid clinical studies, spinal

    manipulation applied by chiro-

    practors is shown to be more

    effective than alternative

    treatments for low back pain

    (LBP).2. There is no clinical or

    case-control study that

    demonstrates or even

    implies chiropractic spinal

    manipulation is unsafe in

    the treatment of LBP. Their

    interpretation of the literature

    suggests that

    chiropractic manipulation is

    safer than medical management

    of LBP.

    3. Indeed, several current

    medical therapies of LBP are

    generally contraindicated on

    the basis of the existing clini-

    cal trials. There is also evi-dence in the literature to sug-

    gest spinal manipulation is

    less safe and less effective

    when performed by non-chi-

    ropractic professionals.

    4. There is an over-whelming

    body of evidence indicating

    that chiropractic management of

    LBP is more cost-effective than

    medical management.

    5. There would be highly

    significant cost savings if more

    management of LBP was

    transferred from physicians

    to chiropractic doctors.

    Evidence from Canada andother countries suggests

    potential savings of many hun-

    dreds of millions of dollars

    annually.

    6. Workers' compensation

    studies report that injured

    workers with the same specific

    diagnosis of LBP returned to

    work much sooner when treat-

    ed by chiropractors than by

    medical physicians.

    7. There is good empirical

    evidence that patients are

    very satisfied with chiropracticmanagement of LBP and con-

    siderably less satisfied with

    physician management.

    8. The use of chiropractic

    has grown steadily over the

    years. Chiropractic is now

    accepted as a legitimate

    healing profession by the

    public and an increasing

    number of physicians.

    Drs. Glenn and ChristineFoss are the owners of

    Advance Sports Medicine &

    Chiropractic Center in

    Riverdale. Both doctors have

    been practicing chiropractic

    for over thirteen years and have

    been amongst the communities

    leading health care providers.

    As innovators in health care,

    they have merged chiropractic

    and physical rehabilitative serv-

    ices together to enhance thequality of patient care and over-

    all treatment

    outcome. If you have any

    questions for either of the doc-

    tors or would like to schedule a

    consultation please call

    When Back Pain Strikes...Who Should You See? By Dr. Glenn Foss

    5/32

    After Paying your

    Federal and State

    Income Taxes, we

    must contend with Property

    Taxes, Electric and Heating

    bills, Mortgage Payments,

    Educating - Feeding andEntertaining the Kids, Extra

    Curricular Lessons like Music,

    Dance, Karate and the Like,

    Your Car and Transportation

    Costs: Payments, Gasoline,

    Tolls, Repairs and Insurance,

    Not to Forget Health Costs:

    Insurance Premiums, Co-pays,

    Annual Deductibles and

    Prescriptions, Cell Phone -

    Cable TV and Internet bills,

    Clothes for the family, Lest weForget Home Maintenance,

    Repairs and Insurance.

    Recently, a friend told me

    about taking his dog to the Vet

    because he was lethargic and

    limping. The fix was $2,000

    plus the cost of insulin and

    other medications. For the

    record, she told me the dog was

    like family and it was worth it

    even if at twice the price. Did

    I forget to mention the dog was16 with an average life span for

    the breed of 15 years! Who says

    money cant buy love?

    If you have a family or are

    raising one, you can probably

    relate to the expenses I just list-

    ed here and perhaps youve

    experienced a month where

    there were more expenses then

    money. The problem intensi-

    fies when these types of months

    occur in succession causingmost people to take out the

    credit card to swipe and

    reprieve pushing-off the finan-

    cial worrying to a future bet-

    ter month.

    Over the years, people

    have swiped all too often, even

    to the extent of maxing-out

    their credit card, opening

    another one, maxing-out that

    one, opening a third, transfer-

    ring the debt to a fourth andbefore you know it, between all

    of the expenses listed in the

    first paragraph of this article,

    coupled with the justified

    credit card debt, there is no

    money at the end of the month

    to pay all of the bills not tomention save for your future.

    For some, their credit rating

    becomes negatively affected

    and as the debt piles up, the

    banks turn off their credit

    because of the high debt to

    income ratio and these often

    people become entrapped

    potentially destroying their

    credit, making a HELOC

    (Home Equity Line of Credit)

    out of reach. What most folksdont understand is that bad

    credit scores may also impede

    job opportunities or even jeop-

    ardize your current position. It

    prevents the ability to refi-

    nance existing debt for a lower

    rate or better terms in the

    future as well and may affect

    your childrens college educa-

    tion also.

    Most importantly, howev-

    er, wealth creation is severelycurtailed, which is vital for a

    successful retirement. When

    people get trapped in debt

    hell they sometimes react with

    foolish moves. They stop or

    severely reduce their 401k con-

    tributions, or worse, they liqui-

    date their retirement plans tocure their problems. This

    poor solution subjects the vic-

    tim to paying income taxes at a

    high rate (regular income plus

    withdrawal amount to deter-

    mine tax bracket) plus a federal

    10% surcharge for those less

    than 59 years of age and elim-

    inates the momentum of

    growth in their retirement

    funds. So, what happens when

    they get to retirement age withinadequate retirement funds?

    Believe me; you dont want to

    find out! Our government is

    not able to save anyone from

    portfolio implosion. Every

    day, we hear that Social

    Security is going broke and the

    Baby Boomer Generation will

    have to wait to older ages to

    collect their fair due if at all! If

    either you or someone you

    know and love is in trouble,defined as either massive debt,

    or inability to fund their future

    retirement needs, it is impera-

    tive to derail them from that

    track toward financial ruin.

    Debt for the purchase of an

    appreciating asset is permissi-

    ble, not the reverse. Old habitsare hard to break and they must

    be broken before they become

    fatal habits. Credit Counseling

    Services exist to help those

    who are behind on their credit

    cards to renegotiate rates and

    terms with their lenders. You

    can even call your bank credit

    card division yourself directly

    for free, to renegotiate rates and

    terms. If you dont have a

    HELOC in place, get oneimmediately! There is no cost

    or fee to secure a home equity

    line of credit, nor maintain one

    unless you use it. Be careful,

    your home equity is a tool that

    should be used prudently and

    wisely.

    Elimination of non-appre-

    ciating asset debt is the first

    rule of gaining financial inde-

    pendence before fully funding

    your retirement plan. The sec-ond is to apportion a percent-

    age of your pay every week to

    fund an emergency fund.

    Third, is to fund an investment

    program for short-term goals

    like a car purchase or a vaca-

    tion fund. Fourth, is to allocate

    funds toward retirement plan-ning accounts like an IRA or a

    Roth IRA in addition to your

    job related retirement plan

    such as a 401k. Fifth would be a

    systematic non-qualified deferr-

    ed compensation plan as a tax-advantaged retirement plan

    They instantly trans-

    form that pair of jeans

    and T-shirt from last

    year. They dress up the suit

    that we wear to work every

    week and make our favorite

    little black dress come alive at

    party after party. Accessories

    are the extras that give our

    wardrobes personality each

    season, so what's "old" is newagain! Go for the drama.

    Here are a few of the "it"

    accessories to put on your

    spring shopping list:

    -- A floppy hat. Paying hom-

    age to the '70s, designers go

    for the dramatic, which means

    big hats with oversized brims -

    - perfectly chic and perfect for

    keeping skin protected from

    the sun at the beach or on city

    streets.-- The elevator platform.

    Another spring favorite is the

    wedge platforms that sport

    wooden, raffia or cork heels.

    And there are plenty of low-

    heeled wedges to choose from,

    too, if you're not fond of

    heights.

    -- The colorful handbag. From

    electric acid-brights (the bet-

    ter to carry that iPad in my

    dear) to the exotic printed

    bucket bags and smaller

    clutches, the handbags thisspring are anything but boring

    and basic. Colorful stripes also

    make a big impact. If you

    don't do anything else, switch

    out your handbag and bright-

    en up the whole outlook on

    your fashion life.

    -- Bold sunglasses. Color again

    reigns in shading your eyes

    this spring and summer.

    Choose candy-colored lens in

    oversized frames for evenmore dramatic effect.

    -- Big bangles. The more the

    merrier this season. Layer dif-

    ferent colors, patterns

    and widths on your

    arm for a fun playful

    look. Mix but don't

    match.

    -- Jeweled gems.

    Insects are the newest

    spring jewelry "motif,"

    fluttering in on the

    wings of crystal butter-

    fly pendants, metal spi-der cuffs, bee brooches

    and grasshopper rings.

    Perhaps, one of the

    most stunning exam-

    ples of fashion's latest

    craze for these new

    buggy accessories is

    Alexander McQueen's

    hand-painted butterfly

    wedge sandal. It's tres

    chic for nature lovers

    of all ages.-- Flower power. Fast

    forward from the '60s

    when everyone wore

    flowers in their hair

    and into this season

    when flowers are

    again all the rage ...

    from blossoms tucked

    behind your ear or

    corsages pinned on

    your lapel.

    -- Headwraps and

    turbans. Here's

    another hair accesso-ry that's turning

    heads. This exotic

    touch adds a bohemi-

    an flair to any outfit.

    You don't need any

    other accessories

    when you've tied

    into this trend.

    -- Metallic nail pol-

    ish. Nail polish is an

    inexpensive way to

    put some sparkle intoyour wardrobe.

    Cerulean blue is a big

    knows exactly how a

    receding hairline and thin-

    I go for the same best results?

    What a thrilling time

    for parents watch-

    ing their baby tak-

    ing their first tentative steps.

    Sure its cute when they begin

    to roll, sit up and crawl, but

    walking is different. The baby

    is now able to venture out and

    explore their world. What an

    exciting and daunting time for

    new parents when the baby

    proofing must commence.

    When a baby is late with a

    milestone like walking it can be

    difficult to tell whether it is a

    justified concern or just a mat-

    ter of time before they will start

    taking steps.

    Babies typically acquire

    motor skills in a predictable

    sequence, but the timing of the

    attainment of those skills may

    vary widely. Many factors affect

    the timing of first steps from

    heredity to body size. About

    half of all babies are walking by

    their first birthday, but most

    pediatricians do not consider a

    child to be a late walker until

    they are 15 months old.

    Walking later than 15 months

    is not very uncommon; one in

    ten children takes their first

    steps between 15 and 18

    months. Regardless of how old

    your baby is catching a problem

    as early as possible offers the

    best chance for improvement.

    Listed below are several red

    flags that may signal an early

    motor problem that can cause

    late walking:

    Your baby does not have a

    large movement repertoire.

    Children that are not moving

    and may just stay in a sitting

    position, or may only roll to get

    their toys and are beyond the

    age at which they should have

    begun to crawl or pull up to

    stand, may have an underlying

    issue that should be addressed.

    This type of child that is not

    crawling or pulling up to stand

    probably wont be walking in

    the near future and should be

    evaluated by a professional.

    The baby appears to be

    lazy and uninterested in walk-

    ing. Babies are not lazy.

    Sometimes they may appear

    uninterested in one area of

    development when they are

    refining their skills in another.

    For example, a baby who has

    just had a big burst in language

    may be working on refining

    these skills leaving their motor

    skills on the back burner.

    When the language improves

    the toddler will most likely pay

    more attention to the motor

    skills. On the other hand, a

    child may appear to have a lack

    of interest in walking, but the

    infant may be physically unable

    to do so and may not have the

    necessary strength to perform.

    A child may require interven-

    tion to appropriately strength-

    en the necessary muscles uti-

    lized for walking.

    The baby is not only a late

    walker, but never crawled and

    scooted on his bottom to get

    around. Scooting is an asym-

    metrical activity that typically

    utilizes one side of the body to

    get around the environment. If

    a baby is primarily using one

    arm and leg, the side that is not

    being used will become weaker.

    In addition the muscles on one

    side of the body may be less

    flexible and if not addressed,

    may cause skeletal and muscu-

    lar problems into adulthood.

    Crawling is an important

    developmental sequence

    because it not only builds

    strength in the trunk, shoulder

    girdle and hips necessary for

    stability during standing and

    walking, but also utilizes both

    right and left hemispheres in

    the brain in a complex action

    of neurological coordination.

    The baby seems very flop-

    Waiting to Walk Why isnt my child walking yet? By Gena Livingston

    Many parents

    bring their

    children to the

    pediatrician and dentist

    for their routine visits,

    but their eye examina-

    tions are usually over-

    looked. The American

    Optometric Assoc-iation rec-

    ommends that you bring your

    child for their first eye exam at

    age 6 months, then at 3 years of

    age, and then prior to the start

    of school. Screenings per-

    formed in the pediatricians

    office or at school are very lim-

    ited and may not detect vision

    problems.

    Vision is not always about

    seeing 20/20. Complaints of

    blurry vision may suggest that

    your child may need glasses.

    Did you know that vision relat-

    ed problems can cause your

    child to experience headaches,

    double vision, and/or tearing?

    They may have difficulty

    catching a ball, lose their place

    when reading, or have a poor

    understanding of what they just

    read. Sometimes you may even

    notice your child rubbing their

    eyes excessively or tilting their

    head when reading. A compre-

    hensive pediatric eye exam

    therefore is not just if your

    child needs glasses, but it exam-

    ines their eye tracking skills,

    how well their eyes work

    together, how well they can

    focus their eyes, and the health

    of their eyes.

    Twenty-five percent of

    school aged children have

    vision problems. This number

    is likely to increase since we

    find most of our kids sitting in

    front of the computer, playing

    with hand held gaming devices

    and texting on cell phones.

    Vision problems can interfere

    with your childs ability to per-

    form to their potential in

    school. Schedule an eye exam

    for your child today.

    py and has a hard time main-

    taining upright poistions. The

    baby may feel this way because

    of weakness of the trunk and

    extremities. The baby may

    have low muscle tone (hypoto-

    nia,) a condition that causes

    difficulty activating the appro-

    priate muscle groups required

    to sustain upright positions.

    Although walking is a

    skill with many variables it is

    important that late walking is

    not overlooked. Not all chil-

    dren are moving at their own

    pace and a wait and see attitude

    is not always the most effective.

    There may be an underlying

    problem that is causing a delay

    and should be addressed now in

    order to prevent later muscku-

    loskeletal problems into adult-

    hood. A skilled pediatric phys-

    ical therapist can not only help

    to discover why the baby may

    be late with his walking, but

    also employ the appropriate

    treatment to get the toddler

    moving.

    Weight gain is not

    just a problem in

    people, pets are

    packing on the pounds too.

    This winter has been even

    tougher to keep ourselves in

    our pets in shape. Staying

    in shape is much easier if

    viewed as preventative medi-

    cine than trying to drop the

    unwanted pounds. Putting

    your pet on the scale and con-

    centrating on that number is

    not the best way to evaluate if

    the pet is overweight. Body

    condition scores and the pet's

    appearance are much better at

    assessing obesity. The pet is

    scored by looking at its overall

    build, the amount of fat over-

    lying its ribs, and their waist.

    You should be able to feel your

    pet's ribs easily without press-

    ing, but you should not be able

    to see the ribs from across the

    room. Your pet's torso, viewed

    from above, should resemble

    an hourglass.

    This is an important

    topic because an overweight

    pet is not a healthy pet.

    Obesity commonly leads to

    diabetes, heart problems,

    and arthritis. Keeping your

    pet at a healthy weight can

    literally add years to their

    life.

    As the weather is get-

    ting a bit warmer, here are

    some exercise tips.

    Getting your dog or cat to

    fetch.

    Most dogs get fun and

    enjoyment out of a simple

    game of fetch. Some cats also

    fetch but they can also get

    enjoyment from string toys or

    laser light toys. Even if it gets

    them off the cough for 5-10

    minutes.

    Jogging for fitness.

    Dogs can make great jog-

    ging partners. Be sure you have

    a dog whose that is the right

    temperament that makes him

    suitable as a running partner.

    To get the best out of your jog-

    ging, do not use a regular

    leash, your arm could be pulled

    out of its socket. Its best to buy

    or make a hands free running

    leash that ties securely around

    your waist.

    Dogs love swimming.

    Swimming is a great exer-

    cise for dogs. It's low-impact,

    so there's no stress on the

    joints of older or arthritic dogs.

    It also helps to exercise all

    muscles at the same time. The

    majority of dogs are natural

    swimmers, and younger dogs

    learn to enjoy it.

    Dog walking for fitness.

    Walking is a great exercise for

    both humans and dogs alike, as

    long as you walk together. Use

    a leash unless you're in a safe,

    fenced in area. For walking

    after dark, you can buy a leash

    with a combination

    retractable lead and flashlight.

    Dog agility training.

    In agility training, a handler

    is given a set time to guide a

    without its lead through an

    obstacle course consisting of

    jump and tunnels, plus weav-

    ing poles and teeter-totters

    etc. Setting up an agility

    course in your garden can be

    great fun and a good way for

    your dog to get regular exer-

    cise.

    All these activities can

    help make your pet more fit,

    healthier and build a stronger

    bondwith your pet.

    A Personal Message from Dr. Harry A. Long

    I have sat in many great doctors offices in my lifetime. And although the care I received was much appreciated, I often had

    to wait a very long time for my appointment. I would often think, the doctor did very little to respect my time and me.

    In my own cosmetic dental office I have a great deal of respect for the people who trust their dental care to me.

    In todays busy world, I know how important their time is to them. I am always on time for their appointments.

    I make sure they feel secure and safe in my office and I am focused on their comfort. I provide for the comfort of

    my patients as well as the family members traveling with them. I began making special coffees for my guests over

    20 years ago. To help comfort my guests, I continue to provide the most wonderful selection of coffees and teas and

    bottled water. I know how important your time is to you and I want you to know I truly appreciate your entrusting

    your dental care to my office.

    I see my patients as important, valued friends who deserve to have the best reasoned, the best-informed and most

    knowledgeable advice they can possibly get about their cosmetic dentistry decisions. So many of my patients have

    been under my care for over 20 years. These patients are so valuable and important to me. They have continued to

    refer their friends to my care. They know I will be happy to consult with any of their friends who may have a question

    about Cosmetic Dentistry and they know I willingly offer to advise, talk to, or meet with anyone important to my

    patients, without obligation. The trust of my patients is very important to me.

    If your smile is important to you, and you have some concerns about your smile, I would like to talk to you...

    I have been creating naturally beautiful smiles for my patients in Wayne for over 20 years. Using the latest

    ceramic technology and my Smile Design Process, I am able to create naturally beautiful smiles that are

    both naturally beautiful and long lasting. Using the newest ceramic materials allows me to offer afive-year guarantee against breakage of your all-ceramic crowns, bridges and porcelain veneers.

    Provided you continue your regular cleanings and check-ups in our office. This guarantee allows

    you to be confident that should anything happen you will not have to pay for a replacement.

    This risk-free five-year guarantee is unheard of in the dental community.

    I am looking forward to meeting with you and having the opportunity to discuss your concerns

    about your smile. Call my office today and ask for your Complimentary Cosmetic Consultation

    With Dr. Long

    Dr. Harry A. Long Changing Smiles, Changing LivesOur goals in life may be modified as our circumstances change. This is a very trying time that is

    Ialways thought of myself as

    someone who is energy

    aware. I switch off the

    lights when leaving a room and

    have been known to lecture

    the kids for leaving the TV on

    when they are not in the room.

    No different from most bill pay-

    ers I suspect. However, it wasnt

    until recently that I realizedthat there was a lot happening

    with my homes energy con-

    sumption that I was not aware

    of.

    What if you could observe

    your energy usage in real time?

    What if you could see how

    much that energy was costing

    you in real time? Do you think

    this would alter your

    behavior in respect

    to your energy con-

    sumption? This is

    what I wanted to

    find out, so with the

    help of a clever

    device The Energy

    Detective or TED

    as it is more com-monly called, I could

    do just that. The

    experience was very

    enlightening.

    The setup of TED is relatively

    straight forward and the

    instructions are easy to follow.

    It hooks into your electric

    panel and monitors different

    circuits in your home. One of

    the best parts of the TED sys-

    tem is that it can log all of your

    usage and store up to 10 years ofdata. This TED software comes

    standard and is included in the

    purchase price.

    Can Being Energy Aware Save You Money?By Tom Ferraro

    What I found interesting

    was the amount of energy we

    were consuming without actu-

    ally having any large appliances

    running. We became obsessed

    with figuring out what was

    drawing all this power. We

    went through the home room

    by room observing what was

    plugged in. Its amazing what

    several phone chargers, coffee

    makers and electric toothbrush

    chargers can do to increase

    your electric use, even when

    they are not being used. Who

    knew this? That wasnt some-

    thing I was ever told about

    when I bought the products. Its

    almost like a tax or subscription

    charge.

    Large constant loads weremore obvious, like the TV, sur-

    round sound system and the

    home office printer, computer

    and laptops etc. It was shocking

    how much these common

    household essentials cost to just

    keep on standby. Now when

    someone switches on the toast-

    er, micro-wave, oven, washer or

    dryer, they can see the result of

    the appliances energy use and

    how it contributes to the cost ofrunning the home.

    Most people think these

    choices are too difficult or too

    mean. There are so many posi-

    tives that come from efficient

    energy use besides saving your

    hard earned cash. We can help

    the environment, reduce our

    carbon footprint and help our

    country by reducing depend-

    ence on foreign fuel. This TED

    guy saves you money every year

    and he even pays for himself.

    Hes the perfect house guest.

    The awareness factor

    alone can influence you to

    reduce your energy use, espe-

    cially if you have a family. The

    kids love TED and refer to him

    as the person who lives in the

    kitchen. They have become

    more responsible and aware oftheir electric use because of our

    kitchen resident. We left this

    in the kitchen because for us

    this is the most visited space in

    the home and it allows every-

    one in the family to interact

    with it.

    There is a cost to using

    energy carelessly both. They

    can see the cost live on the

    TED display. He shows you and

    its fun and easy to use.I am sure that we will save a lot

    on our energy costs. By simply

    reducing the constant, wasted

    electricity in the house, we

    should save hundreds. Thats

    what energy efficiency should

    be all about!

    Q: Our living room/

    dining room is not very

    large, so we bring the

    dining chairs from the table into

    the living area when we have

    extra guests. I can't help but

    think that it looks like some kind

    of prayer meeting. All those legs!

    We have a three-seater sofa

    and two armless chairs in the liv-

    ing "room," but maybe there's

    another way to provide extra

    seating when we need it?

    A: You are not alone with

    your problem: smallish rooms

    -- especially rooms that do

    double-duty like living and

    dining -- need solutions that

    go beyond the usual sofa-chair

    categories. Furniture manu-

    facturers have responded with

    clever solutions, such as low

    stools that stow under cocktail

    tables and storage benches

    that also make for sturdy seat-

    ing.

    Sectional sofas are

    another smart answer. Angle a

    sectional so it embraces the

    cocktail table, and you multi-

    ply seating opportunities

    exponentially -- no arms to

    limit the number of sitters

    who can fit on the "L."

    Interior designer Gail

    Shields-Miller has yet another

    answer: ottomans. Like you,

    she dislikes seeing all those

    chair legs in a room. Instead,

    she says, "I love ottomans. I'm

    an ottoman freak!"

    Shields-Miller's prefers

    big ottomans, too, as you can

    see in the pictured living

    room. The large zebra-printottoman is always on hand for

    extra seating. Moreover, it ful-fills the designer's credo: She's

    known for mixing styles andperiods. In her rooms, colors

    don't match -- on purpose."Matching makes a room

    look like a hotel!" Shields-

    Miller insists. Hence, the hor-

    izontally striped curtains --

    made of a synthetic fabric that

    poufs like crinoline -- do not

    match the taupe-gray sofa,

    which does not match the rug,

    which has a suggestion of

    orange. And the rug definitely

    does not match the pillows

    tossed on the sofa: "like

    adding lipstick -- it's bold butnot in your face!"

    How to cultivate that

    captivating near-miss at

    home? "Take out the

    Benjamin Moore swatch of

    the color you like and go

    down -- or up -- two steps. It

    will bring your room alive."

    Sandra Palmer e-mailed

    us to say that she and

    her husband love the

    Fresh Tomato Basil Soup

    from Sammy's Woodfired

    Pizza. "It simply is the best

    tomato soup I have ever

    eaten," she wrote.

    Palmer asked if we could

    get the restaurant chain togive us the recipe. Sammy's

    executive chef, Jeff Moogk,

    scaled down his popular cre-

    ation for us, to make a family-

    sized pot of soup.

    FRESH TOMATO BASIL

    SOUP

    4 tablespoons

    olive oil

    1 medium onion, diced

    1 tablespoon garlic,

    chopped

    1 1/2 pounds Roma

    tomatoes, seeded anddiced

    32 ounces chicken stock

    12 ounces crushed toma-

    toes (preferably

    Italian)

    3 to 5 fresh basil leaves

    1/2 teaspoon crushed red

    chilies

    1 teaspoon sugar

    1/2 teaspoon each

    ground black pepper and

    sea salt

    Shaved Romano or

    Parmesan cheese for garnish

    Serves 4-6

    Saute onion in olive oil

    over medium heat until

    onion softens, stirring occa-

    sionally. Add garlic and con-

    tinue cooking for an addi-

    tional 2-3 minutes. Add

    Roma tomatoes, and reduce

    heat, continuing to cook 4 to

    5 minutes until tomatoes

    soften, stirring occasionally.

    To the diced tomato mixture,

    add chicken stock, crushed

    tomatoes, basil, crushed redchilies and sugar. Simmer for

    an additional 20 to 30 min-

    utes.

    Allow soup to cool to

    room temperature, then use a

    blender to combine all ingre-

    dients until smooth, adding

    salt and pepper to taste.

    Reheat to boiling before serv-

    ing, topping with cheese.

    Corned beef is a St.

    Patrick's Day staple.

    However, those who

    may not have dined on

    corned beef brisket may be

    unaware as to exactly what

    the cut of meat entails. Is it

    covered with corn? Why is it

    pink in coloring? Learning

    about the food can shed light

    on the mystery.

    Corned beef is reminis-cent of the foods once

    enjoyed before refrigeration

    was predominant. In order to

    prevent foods from spoiling,

    meats were often packed in

    salt or brine to inhibit the

    growth of mold and bacteria.

    The "corned"in corned beef

    likely refers to the nuggets, or

    what the English called corns

    of salt, and other spices used

    in the brine recipe.Corned beef became

    popular among Jewish and

    Irish immigrants in the

    United States. The Irish ate

    corned beef in their native

    land when there were lean

    times and widespread famine.

    To harken back to those days,

    corned beef is often served as

    a reminder on St. Patrick's

    Day, a day of celebration in

    Ireland and for people of

    Irish descent all across theglobe.

    Corned beef is usually

    boiled, with or without cab-

    bage and other vegetables,

    which makes it more tender

    and palatable. It also dissi-

    pates the salty brine. The

    corned beef is then served

    with the cabbage and vegeta-

    bles, oftentimes carrots and

    potatoes.

    Corned beef brisket israrely roasted because it is a

    tough cut of meat. It can be

    smoked, however. Smoked

    corned beef is known as pas-

    trami, and is a staple for deli-

    catessen sandwiches.

    Most of today's corned

    beef is processed without

    nitrates, which used to be

    used as a preservative against

    botulism and to maintain the

    bright red color. Nitrates may

    be cancer-causing agents, solimiting their consumption is

    often advised. The brisket

    may be packaged as a "point

    cut"or a "flat cut." The point

    cut is rounder and has more

    fat. The flat cut is leaner.

    Corned beef can be

    cooked in a pot of boiling

    water for 3 to 5 hours to help

    tenderize the meat. Look for

    briskets that are cut across

    the grain so that they will beeasier to chew.

    Esther DelCarpio of

    Little Falls and

    Carole Rittenberg of

    Wayne were invited to bring

    therapy dogs Molly and

    Butch to the Daisy Girl

    Scout Troop #94660 meeting

    on Feb.l0. The theme of the

    evening was to teach the girls

    what a therapy dog does and

    how they have to meet cer-

    tain requirements. The girls

    all had a chance to walk the

    dogs as well as watch as they

    caught hot dogs in mid air!!

    The girls counted up to num-

    ber seven for Butch!! All of

    the girls received certificates

    from Esther for their partici-

    pation and will also get

    a green petal for learning to

    be considerate and caring as

    well as receiving a fun patch.

    Carole R. who is a former

    school teacher guided the

    girls with songs pertaining to

    doggies! As another good

    deed, all the girls made per-

    sonalized Valentines cards for

    every resident at EmeritusAssisted Living in Wayne.

    Esther collected the beautiful

    cards and will distribute

    them on Feb. 20th to the

    residents of Emeritus where

    she has visited for five years

    with Molly and Butch. Also

    pictured one of the residents

    holding her Valentine's

    Day personalized card.

    Anyone interested in pet

    therapy can contact Estherat 973-890-7556 or email

    her at [email protected].

    The first zero-energy

    building (ZEB) sky-

    scraper will open this

    fall in Guangzhou, China.

    The building, called the Pearl

    River Tower, was designed by

    architects from the Chicago-

    based SOM firm. It is a 71-

    story skyscraper that will use

    solar and wind systems to pro-

    duce power to fuel itself.Because much of the power

    used in skyscrapers is in place

    to cool the building and off-

    set heat gain from sunlight,

    indoor lighting and computer

    usage, the tower will use solar

    panels to operate perforated

    metal blinds on the building's

    windows. The blinds will

    automatically track the sun

    and open and close accord-

    ingly to minimize heat

    indoors. Other heat-minimiz-

    ing features will enable the

    Pearl River Tower to use an

    air conditioning system that

    is 80 percent smaller than

    those in conventional sky-

    scrapers.When a person

    comes to a certain

    age and the chil-

    dren move out and on withtheir own lives, a home may

    become too big for its occu-

    pants. At this point, residents

    may feel it's time to downsize

    to a smaller home.

    Downsizing can be

    exciting and challenging at

    the same time. Going

    through and packing belong-

    ings can be a trip down mem-

    ory lane. But chances are a

    smaller space will mean that aperson will have to part with

    a number of his belongings

    collected over time.

    To make the process eas-

    ier, first assess how much

    space there will be in the new

    home. Many times floor plans

    or room dimensions are avail-

    able. First measure large

    items, such as furniture, to be

    sure it will fit in the rooms.

    Then think about storagepossibilities.

    Next, make a running

    list of what items can be dis-

    carded and where those items

    will go. Some belongings can

    be donated to charity, while

    others may be given to family

    and friends. Many other

    things could end up in the

    trash or recycling bins.

    Knowing where things will go

    will make them easier to sort.For those doing a major

    clean-out of the home, it

    could be efficient to hire a

    dumpster to be placed on-

    site. This way, larger bulkitems can simply be tossed

    inside. Some municipalities

    restrict what can be placed in

    the regular trash or how

    much garbage can be collect-

    ed, so this alleviates the stress

    of dealing with excess trash.

    When actually begin-

    ning to get rid of things, start

    with the areas that receive

    the least amount of use.

    Belongings stored in

    the attic or basement

    may be simply taking

    up space and hold less

    sentimental value.

    People can then work

    their way toward itemsthat are used on a regu-

    lar basis. Duplicates of

    things can be donated.

    It can be cathartic to

    clear out clutter and get

    ready to start anew.

    Some people find

    they have to downsize

    because of financial

    reasons. In these cases,

    thinning out belongings

    can also be a way to earn afew extra bucks. Selling or

    auctioning off seldom used

    items may produce a little

    extra cash that can help

    finance moving expenses or

    even bills.
