Perhaps you own a com-
pany and you are tryingto grow your business
the tried and true way through
good will and refer-
rals, but havent
achieved the growth
you have wanted.
Our firm is a prime
example of this. We
gain new clients and
lose some due to
companies going out
of business and peo-ple moving out of
State.
Consider the idea of a
merger or acquisition. You
may be thinking that you
dont have the capital or cant
raise the capital needed to do
this. You may be in better
shape than you think. Banks
and prospects may be willingto work with you under your
terms. First you will need to
determine a few things. How
much of a deposit could you
give to a prospective seller?
What would your preference
be of the volume of the busi-
ness that you would be look-
ing to merge with or acquire?
Do you have a good relation-
ship with your bank to securea line of business credit? What
steps do I need to take first?
Lets use our firm as
an example and look
at the steps involved.
We decided to look
for a small acquisi-
tion to our practice.
Our target would be a
practitioner looking
to retire within the
next few years orsomeone who had a
small tax business on the side
and had taken a full time job
who was looking to sell. Next
we wanted the billings to be
within 100K to 150K with a
mix of business and individual

umpkins are a common
sight come around
Halloween. This fruit ofthe fall is often used in decorat-
ing the interior and exterior of
homes, but can be an
integral component
of cooking and bak-
ing as well.
Little thought is
given to pumpkins
and their makeup.
But pumpkin afi-
cionados who want
to know more aboutthese delicious gourds
can dig into the fol-
lowing facts.
Pumpkins are a member
of the squash family that grows
on long vines close to the
ground. Before pumpkin fruit
grows, brightly colored flowers
will form and then turn into
pumpkins. Pumpkins adapt too
many climates and are grownon all of the continents except
Antarctica.
In colonial times, settlers
and natives alike relied on
pumpkin as a staple of their
diets. The British saw the pos-
sibilities of pumpkins as a food
source and brought seeds back
to Europe to enjoy as well.
Pumpkins are comprisedof several parts. The pumpkin
is covered in a skin that sur-
rounds the pulp, or the
meaty part of the
pumpkin. The stem is
at the top of the
pumpkin and con-
nects to the vine.
Tendrils are thin
pieces of vine that
tether the pumpkin to
the ground to protectit from the wind and
weather. The inside of
the pumpkin is known
as the cavity and can contain
seeds and fibrous strands. The
bottom of the pumpkin is
known as the blossom end

The shoulder is one of
the most complex
joints to treat in the
body. It can also be one of the
most challenging. The reasonis that there are so many nicks
and crevices, if you will, in
the shoulder. Probably more
than any other joint, its the
doctors physical examination,
rather than an MRI that will
help to diagnose which struc-
tures are contributing to the
pain. Patients with shoulder
pain may struggle a great deal:
not being able to sleep at
night, pain and/or weakness in
lifting their arms over theirshoulders, constant baseline
pain.
The six most common
diagnoses for shoulder pain are:
1) impingement syndrome, 2)
rotator cuff tear, 3) biceps ten-
donitis, 4) AC joint arthritis,
5) labral tear and 6) gleno-
humeral joint arthritis. If you
are suffering from shoulder
pain, you may have one or all
six diagnoses.
Impingement syndromeoccurs when the rotator cuff
tendon rubs on, or impinges
on, the roof of the shoulder,
the acromion. Typically
patients have a tight space
between the rotator cuff ten-
don and the acromion. With
moving the arm upwards, the
rotator cuff tendon gets com-
pressed by the acromion. As a
result, the rotator cuff tendon
and the overlying bursal layercan get inflamed.
Rotator cuff tears often
occur concurrently with
impingement syndrome. We
see partial tears very frequently
in the general population.
Baseball pitchers tend to get
rotator cuff tears more posteri-
orly, while patients over the
age of 35 tend to get tears in
the anterior region of the
shoulder. But not all partialtears need to have surgery!
Full tears are more serious
because they never heal back
naturally. With partial tears,
we almost always try a course
of physical therapy and an
injection before considering
surgery.Biceps tendonitis can also
be a significant pain contribu-
tor in the shoulder. The biceps
muscle belly has two tendons
arising from it. The larger ten-
don attaches to the coracoid
bone in the chest, while the
thinner tendon goes
along the front of the
shoulder and attaches
deep in the shoulder
joint. This small thintendon going into the
shoulder is packed with
pain fibers, and can
cause a lot of pain for
something so darn
small! Again, we try
other non-surgical
options before resorting
to an operation.
AC joint arthritis is prob-
ably not as common as origi-
nally thought a few decadesago. The AC joint is the joint
made up of the roof of the
shoulder (Acro-mion) and the
collarbone (Clavicle). A
patient can have the most hor-
rific looking x-ray with bony
spurs along the AC joint.
However, unless their physical
examination is consistent with
AC joint arthritis, we dont
always recommend surgery for
just the x-ray finding.
Labral tears sure cause a
lot of controversy at shoulder
society meetings. The labrum
is the lining for the socketcomponent of the shoulder
ball-and-socket joint (gleno-
humeral joint). Anterior
labral tears are frequently asso-
ciated with instability especial-
ly in younger patients. If the
patient has instability symp-
toms, the tear should probably
be repaired surgically.
Superior labral tears can causea lot of problems particularly
with stiffness if too aggressively
repaired in certain patients.
We tend to try a lot of non-sur-
gical options first for superior
labral tears. Posterior labral
tears, for some reason, fre-
quently seem to present with
pain rather than instability and
can result in a dramatic
improvement in pain after
repair.
Glenohumeral joint
arthritis is the erosion of the
cartilage surface of the ball and
socket joint. The gold stan-
dard operation is a total
shoulder replacement.
A total shoulder
replacement is a major
operation that cannotbe done arthroscopical-
ly, as we introduce a
new artificial joint in
the shoulder. As with
any artificial joint, it
tends to wear down after
10 to 15 years and the
patient may need to
have another surgery.
Especially in patients in their
30s and 40s, we try to put off
introducing an artificial jointfor as long as possible, and try
various injection options.
So there you have it the top
six causes of pain in the shoul-
der. As you can see, most diag-
noses in the shoulder can often
be treated without surgery.
Just because it says
Orthopedic Surgery on the
card, it doesnt mean that com-
ing to our office will mean a
surgical recommendation.Please dont live with shoulder
pain. Let us guide you to get
better.

clients. We secured a line of
credit from our bank. Now
we will begin our marketing
plan.
So what will you need todo first? The first step is to
make sure your own house is
in order. In other words, you
must make sure your business
is strong enough to make an
acquisition and that you have
systems in place. A lot of
small businesses considered
Mom and Pop organizations
dont have a lot of systems in
place. They may do a very
good job managing their busi-ness but in order for the busi-
ness to go the next level a set
of processes and procedures
must be put in place for
human recourses, finances,
inventory, marketing, tech-
nology etc. So, before even
looking at expanding through
acquisition the first step is
make sure your business is in
order and strong enough to
take on an acquisition.
Next identify your targetmarket. Decide if a merger or
acquisition makes sense for
your business. In a merger,
you may become a partner in a
larger firm and roll your
clients under their name. Or it
may be two smaller firms join-
ing to become a larger pres-
ence in a local community. If
you are doing an acquisition
instead, it could be that you
prefer to be the sole owner asopposed to being in a partner-
ship with someone else. In
the case of a merger to a larg-
er firm, you would want to do
your due diligence. You would
want to see a business valua-
tion, a cash flow analysis,
review the current bank state-
ments, tax returns, financial
statements, preferably audited
or reviewed by a CPA firm.
You would also want to spend
time at the new firm to makesure there is a good fit of per-
sonalities and that they
adhere to the same ethics that
your firm does. This step
would also apply to anyone
doing an acquisition once you
have identified a strong
prospect. If you are choosing
the acquisition route, think
about the length of time that
you would need to pay off the
debt that you will incur. Next, identify the volume of
the business that you can
afford to absorb and pay off

Shoppers with an eye on
Monolo Blahnik shoes
or a Louis Vuitton hand-
bag may want to turn to con-
signment stores to realize good
deals on designer duds.
Consignment stores are surg-
ing in popularity all across the
country. Many look the same
as mainstream retailers and aretaking a chunk of their busi-
ness profits, too.
Consignment stores no
longer carry the stigma they
once did. Instead of grandma
prints and last, last, last sea-
sons styles, fashion-forward
shops now offer a selection of
gently used brand names and,
very often designer merchan-
dise to a discerning clientele of
shoppers. A shopper may evenbe able to find new items
straight from a manufacturers
warehouse.
Consignment shop inno-
vators, such as Double Take
(www.edoubletake.com), a
growing chain of consignment
stores on the East Coast, regu-
larly receive merchandise
directly from designers, the
wardrobe departments of tele-
vision shows, and from
socialites and fashionistasacross the country. I never
anticipated such an over-
whelming response. From day
one weve had a steady contin-
uous stream of beautiful
designer merchandise that
comes from people in every
imaginable situation, and
because we have such a high
turnover rate through fast sales
in our stores, weve built up a
base of over 10,000 regularconsignors. Says owner/opera-
tor Marci Kessler, who has
been in the consignment busi-
ness for more than 20 years,
what is the draw to consign-
ment? For shoppers, its the
ability to get very good quality
merchandise at a discounted
price. Typically, consigneditems will sell for 25 to 50 per-
cent of the original retail
value, although each store
varies in their policy. Some
stores will continue to mark
down items the longer theyre
in the shop.
For sellers, consignment
stores offer the opportunity tohave their merchandise on dis-
play and receive a portion of
the profits. Most stores will sell
consigned items and split the
profits at 40 to 60 percent.
This can make it easy for indi-
viduals with closets full of
items that are not in use to
make some extra money.
Many women in the fashion
industry or socialites need to
turn over their wardrobes fre-
quently, offers Kessler. Thesepeople would rather make
some money than have items
sit in their closets.
Consignment stores are
big business. According to the
Association of Resale
Professionals, there are cur-
rently more than 30,000 resale,
consignment and thrift shops
in the United States. The
industry has also experienced a
growth approximately 7 per-cent a year for the past two
years. Plus, with real estate
prices at all-time lows, many
enterprising people are taking
advantage of low rents and
opening up consignment stores
all across the country.
Dont think consignment
stores are glorified yard sales,
either. Most stores will not
accept items that are out-of-
date or too much out of season.
Some shops wont carry mer-chandise that is older than two
years old.
In this economy, many
people are looking to make or
save money. Consignment
stores can offer the best of both
worlds. For those with a large
assortment of items they are
considering for consignment,
call Marci Kessler at 866-678-
6464 or e-mail marci@edou-
bletake.com to discuss how tohave your items considered
and appraised for sale.

Posture affects all human
functions, both con-
sciously and uncon-
sciously, from breathing to
thinking. (American Journal
of Pain Management, January,
1994)
Checking your childs
posture is one of the simplest,
yet most important things par-
ents can do to ensure the pres-
ent and future health of their
children. Few parents, how-
ever, are ever given the tools
to adequately assess posture.
The following are some key
points to look for:
1) First have your child
stand facing you, relaxed with
feet in line and slightly apart.
Have them nod their head a
couple of times with eyes
closed, then look straight
ahead.
2) Always start at the feet.
The centre of the pelvis
should be directly in line with
the midpoint between the
feet. Is the pelvis shifted to
the left or to the right? Does
the pelvis appear rotated to
the left or right? Is one side of
the pelvis lower?
3) Now assess the thorax
(chest) in relation to the
pelvis. Is the midpoint of the
chest bone directly above the
midpoint of the pelvis? If not,
which way is it shifted? Is one
shoulder lower than the other?
Does one hand hang lower?
Does the thorax appear rotat-
ed relative to the pelvis?
4) Finally, look at the head.
Draw a mental line from the
midpoint between the eyes to
the centre of the upper lip. Is
it vertical or tilted? Is the
head aligned directly above
the centre of the chest bone,
or off to one side? Is the facerotated to the left or right?
5) Now stand close behind
your child. Making sure their
feet are in line, look down: Is
one buttock more forward or
back? Are the two dimples at
the top of the buttocks in line
with the heels, or is one side
back? Looking up, is one
shoulder blade forward or
back?
6) Lastly, stand at the side of
your child about five feet
away. Draw another mental
line, starting at a point about
an inch in front of the big
ankle bone. It should extend
vertically up through the cen-
tre of the hip bone, up
through the centre of the ear.
Is the centre of the hip for-ward of this line (a very com-
mon fault)? Where does the

over the time limit that you
have established.
At this step you would
also want to know if you
would be keeping the former
owner on as an employee or
simply as an hourly consultant
or not at all. Some companies
choose to keep the former
owner on for a transition
year to allow the clients to
meet the new professional
who will be servicing them.
Its very important to have a
plan for integration.
Next you would need to
secure a deposit to give to the
seller and to set up terms in a
contract that are agreeable to
by both sides. You would
obviously get your attorney
and CPA involved to review
the contract and the books of
the prospect. If possible, pres-
ent a business plan to your
bank to discuss the reason for
the business line of credit. If
your bank is not actively pur-
suing small business loans,
pursue other avenues such as
the SBA or other banks. Once
you have secured a line of
credit, you would be able to
set up terms that both you and
the prospect can live with.
The typical deal would consist
of a deposit to the seller along
with a note. The seller holds a
note and is paid off over an
agreed term including inter-
est.
Some firms begin the
acquisition phase because an
opportunity arises to acquire a
new firm. Others begin with
the intent to find a prospect.
Once you know your target
market, target price and have
secured the money for your
deposit, you can begin to mar-
ket for a prospect. Businesses
can spread the word through
their local chamber of com-
merce and other networking
partners of the local newspa-
pers. This would be appropri-
ate if you are looking to keep
your growth to a local com-
munity as opposed to growth
on a state to state or interna-
tional basis. If this is your
goal, an ad in the Wall Street
Journal or inclusion on Craigs
List or Social Networking
might be a better route. If you
are willing to cold call or send
a mailer, some businesses use
Dun and Bradstreet or other
lists to narrow down prospects
by the demographics obtained
by the lists. It is also best to
market during your slower sea-
son.
Once you have prospects
interested in your firm, the
next step is determining
which prospective firm best
suits your businesses need for
future growth. Using our firm
as an example, acquiring a
firm with a ratio of 60/40 busi-
ness clients to personal clients
would help us with our year
round business as opposed to
our seasonal business during
tax season. This might give
the edge to a firm that meets
those demographics over a
firm that was largely only
individual clients. You would
narrow down your search by
the ones who are open to your
payment plan and willing to
help with the transition.
If this seems like a lot of
work, consider the benefits.
Growth by acquisition can
help you achieve your goals

Does your dogs or cats
ears have an odor?
Are they scratching
or shaking their head? Is there
dirt-like material in the ears?
What could it be? What
should I do? This could be an
ear infection and you should
seek medical assistance from
your veterinarian before the
condition worsens and
becomes painful. Ear infec-
tions are very common. Based
on data from pet insurance
companies, ear infections are
a top ten reason for dogs and
cats to visit their veterinarian.
Dogs and cats can have
ear infections or inflammation
of the ear canal for many dif-
ferent reasons such as allergies
(seasonal/environmental or
food allergies ), parasites like
ear mites , foreign bodies like
plant awns, endocrine diseases
such as an underactive thy-
roid, your pets ear anatomy
like excess hair or moisture,
hereditary or immune condi-
tions, and tumors.
Pets with allergies, either
to food or something they
inhale, often have ear prob-
lems. Allergies are typically
the most common cause of ear
infections that veterinarians
see. Sometimes these ear
problems may
be the first sign
of an allergy.
The inflamma-
tion from aller-
gies changes the
envi ronment
within the ear,
which leads to
secondary infec-
tions with bac-
teria or yeast. If
we just treat the
infection, we
are not getting
to the root of
the problem. We need to treat
the allergies too with diet tri-
als, immunotherapy or med-
ication.
Ear mites are a more
common cause of ear prob-
lems in cats than in dogs. The
resultant itching can be
intense and may be present
elsewhere on the body not just
the ears. When ear discharge
is seen, many people will
assume that their pets ear
infection is due to ear mites.
Ear mites discharge has a dis-
tinctive black coffee-ground
appearance whereas infectious
discharge is moister and
ranges from brown to yellow.
Other causes of ear infec-
tions include foreign bodies,
most notably plant awns.
They can cause irritation,
your pet scratches, and before
you know it we have an ear
infection. Certain endocrine
diseases can cause skin and ear
problems such as hypothy-
roidism and Cushings disease.
Certain dog breeds with
heavy, floppy ears such as
Cocker Spaniels may be pre-
disposed due to
the excess mois-
ture that builds
up in their ears.
B e c a u s e
there are many
potential causes
of ear problems,
the next step is
to visit your vet-
erinarian for a
diagnosis. Your
veterinarian will
use an otoscope
to look down
into the ear
canal. Swabs of the ear can be
taken (called an ear cytology),
and examined for bacteria,
yeast, and mites. If a bacterial
infection does not respond to
the first antibiotic therapy, a
culture and sensitivity may
need to be performed. A thor-
ough history and physical
exam may help determine if
this could be a hormonal,
allergic, or hereditary
problem and further
diagnostic testing
would be needed.
It is important to
visit your veterinarian
promptly for a diagno-
sis and treatment if
you suspect an ear infection. If
left unattended they can
become very painful, lead to
permanently narrow canals or
an ear hematoma. Ear
hematomas most commonly
occur when a dog or cat
shakes its head from an ear
infection, the ear hits the top
of their head, a blood vessel in
the ear ruptures and the loose
space under the skin will fill
up with blood. These will
have a noticeably swollen,
fluid-filled ear that is extreme-
ly painful to the touch. The
treatment of choice for ear
hematomas is surgery.
The key to healthy ears is
early treatment and preven-
tion. Check your pets ears
weekly. A slight amount of
waxy buildup may be present
in normal ears. If your dog
swims a lot, has pendulous
ears, or a history of ear disease,
routine cleaning may be rec-
ommended. Excess hair
around the ear can be clipped
by your groomer to allow more
air flow. Its also important to
treat any underlying condi-
tion, like allergies; otherwise
the condition will likely recur.

because thats where the flower
started before the pumpkin
formed.
Most varieties of pump-
kins are edible, but some taste
better than others. Once
pumpkins turn orange they can
be eaten. People bake the meat
into pies, soups and stews. It
can also be used in breads and
cakes. Pumpkin puree can
replace the oil in cake recipes
much in the same way apple-
sauce can. Adding pumpkin to
recipes provides a healthy way
to increase nutritional value.
There are many interest-
ing pieces of trivia regarding
pumpkins. Here are some
things to ponder.
Pumpkins were once believed
to eliminate freckles and were
also used as a remedy for snake
bites.
In 2007, people in Boston
earned the world record for the
most lit pumpkins with 30,128
twinkling jack-o-lanterns.
Thousands of people partici-
pate in pumpkin chucking, an
event where air cannons pro-
pel pumpkins thousands of
feet. Each year people compete
to see who can launch a pump-
kin the farthest.
On September 25, 2010, peo-
ple in New Bremen, Ohio,
broke their own record when
they baked a 3,699 pound
pumpkin, surpassing their prior
record of 2,020 pounds.
Pumpkins are a seasonal
delight too many come the fall.
But in addition to being deli-
cious, theyre also interesting.

Now that school is in
full swing, most stu-
dents are carrying
backpacks that are much too
heavy for them causing delete-
rious effects to the body.
Among school aged children,
there has been a rise in the
incidence of back pack related
pain and stiffness affecting the
neck, shoulders, back and
chest. Backpacks also factor
into the increase in non-trau-
matic back pain in children
under the age of 18.
School aged children are
very susceptible to back pack
related back pain since they
are likely to carry loads that are
too heavy in proportion to
their body weight. Medical
professionals recommend that
a childs backpack should be no
heavier than 15% of his or her
body weight. Unfor-tunately it
is not uncommon for a 90
pound child to be carrying a 30
pound backpack, a third of his
or her body weight.
Backpacks, when worn
correctly, cause less stress on
the body than other book bags.
Backpacks allow for a more
even weight distribution (as
long as both shoulder straps are
used) than shoulder bags or
purses that have the weight on
one side of the body. Backpack
related injuries are due to the
misuse of backpacks. Some
symptoms associated with
backpack misuse are shoulder,
neck, and lower back pain,
muscle spasm and numbness
and tingling in the hands and
fingers.
To avoid risk of injury and
postural problems, follow these
backpack tips:
Scale down the contents
to the essentials. The child
should leave as many heavy
books in the locker as possible
and pack only the most neces-
sary books. Try to bring home
handouts and lighter work-
books.
Pack appropriately. The
heaviest books should be
placed in the center of the
back closest to the spine.
When the heaviest books are
placed on the side or the outer-
most compartment of the
backpack, this results in
uneven weight bearing and
encourages back arching caus-
ing subsequent back pain.
Lighten the load. The
backpack should weigh no
more than 15% of your childs
body weight, 10% is ideal. Too
much weight will cause your

sits flush against the spine.
The straps of the pack should
be tightened so the top of the
pack is in line with the tops
of the shoulders. Padded
straps are very important.
Non- padded straps can dig
into the muscles causing
numbness and tingling in the
hands and fingers.
Pick up the pack with
proper body mechanics.
Instead of stooping over to
pick up the pack, the child
should squat down by bend-
ing the knees and stand up
using the legs.
Buy the best backpack.
Purchase a pack with multi-
ple compartments in order to
place the heaviest books in
the compartment closest to
the body. Buy a pack with
wide padded shoulder straps.
If your child is complaining
of back pain from a backpack
use a book-carrier on wheels
instead. Also, call your pedi-
atric physical therapist to
assess any adverse affects
from backpack use.

much quicker than relying
solely on referrals and regular
channels of marketing. With
todays economy there are also
opportunities to buy business-
es at discounted prices.
To recap, if you are look-
ing to grow or expand your
business:
Have systems set up to run
your business including docu-
mented processes and proce-
dures. In other words FIRST
get your house in order before
you attempt an acquisition.
Make sure you have enough
Capital to make an acquisi-
tion. The number one reason
businesses fail is because of
lack of capital.
Identify if you are interested
in a merger or acquisition
Identify your target market,
size and cost of the business
you wish to merge with or
acquire.
If acquisition, identify if you
would buy the business out-
right or retain some of the tal-
ent.
Set terms of the deal you
would be willing to make and
secure a line of credit if neces-
sary.
Market for prospects through
a workable marketing plan
during your off season.
Narrow down your prospects,
do your due diligence, and
select the prospect that best
fits your firms growth plan.
Utilize your attorney and
CPA to solidify the deal with
contracts and begin the transi-
tion prior to your busy season.
Have an integration plan for
how you will merge the new
business with your existing
company.
The solution can be a
win-win for younger compa-
nies looking to grow and own-
ers of companies looking for
an exit strategy. It is also help-
ful for owners who may be
looking to join a larger firm as
in the example of a merger
before retiring. There are
agencies that will help you
find prospects for a merger and
acquisition, however, be pre-
pared to pay an upfront cost of,
at least, 10 per cent or higher
in that case. You will be able to
save that fee with a little leg
work of your own.
As for our example, we
are looking to grow our busi-
ness! We are in the process of
looking for an acquisition our-
selves.
We wish all local busi-
nesses great growth in these
trying times and are willing to
discuss tax planning initiatives
at our office during this critical
time of the year. Please
remember that the deadline
for timely filing this year with
extensions due to the flood is
Oct. 31st.

Question:Now that the kids are back to school and
playing sports, what kind of eye protection
should they have?
Answer: 90% of serious eye injuries are
preventable through the use of protective
eyewear. Regular eyeglasses do not offer
proper eye protection.
Eric Shnayder, MD is a Board Certified Ophthalmologist who treats a wide variety of eye disorders. After graduating summa cum laudefrom Temple University, he received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the Medical College of Pennsylvania. The doctor completed his
Ophthalmology residency at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Aside from performing regular eye exams, Dr.Shnayder is proficient in cataract & laser surgery, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, retinal disease and childrens eye problems.
He practices at 1426 Route 23 North in Butler and can be reached at 973-838-7722.
Question:Are there useful supplements for glaucoma or
are they are waste of money?
Answer: Generally, antioxidants are protective
for the eye. Good scientific studies confirm that
certain supplements help prevent cataracts and
some stages of macular degeneration. A well-
balanced diet that includes several servings of
leafy green vegetables is recommended foreveryone.

F
or kids, few holidays are
more anticipated than
Halloween. The chance
to dress up in costume and
patrol the neighborhood with
friends while collecting treats
is the highlight of many a
childs autumn.
For parents, anticipation
is replaced by anxiety. While
kids are out trick-or-treating,
parents may be home or at
work hoping their kids are
safe and sound. Because
Halloween is so popular
among kids, its hard for par-
ents to forbid trick-or-treat-
ing. But parents should
instruct kids on the following
tips to ensure this Halloween
is as safe as it is fun.
Strangers homes are off lim-
its. Make sure kids know they
should never enter the home
of a stranger, no matter how
friendly or welcoming that
stranger may seem.
Theres no going it alone.
Kids should not be permitted
to go out alone. When trick-
or-treating, kids should always
be accompanied not only by
their friends, but there mustbe at least one adult chaper-
one present at all times.
Parents should get together
several weeks before
Halloween to determine who
will chaperone, where kids
will be trick-or-treating and
during what hours.
Stay close to home. Kids
should stay in their own
neighborhood and only visit
homes of neighbors they
know. Advise kids to steer
clear of homes whose doors
are hidden from street view.
Chaperones should accompa-
ny kids to the front door if vis-ibility from the street is poor.
Choose safe costumes. Kids
should wear costumes made of
light colored material. If a
child insists on a favorite cos-
tume that uses largely dark
material, attach reflective
tape to the costume so your
favorite reveler is easily visi-
ble to motorists during twi-
light and nighttime hours
when its not always easy fordrivers to see.
No toy guns. Toy guns are
just asking for trouble, as
many of todays replicas are
easily confused with the real
thing. Play it safe and choose
costumes that arent acces-
sorized with toy guns.
Bring a flashlight along.
Night falls quickly in late
October, so kids and chaper-
ones alike should carry a flash-light to improve their visibili-
ty and make them more visi-
ble to passing motorists.
Stick to the sidewalks. Trick-
or-treaters should stick to the
sidewalks and always cross the
street at corners. Dont walk
in the street, and never walk
between parked cars when
crossing the street, as its espe-
cially difficult for motorists to
anticipate pedestrians walking
or running from behind
parked cars into the street.
Be wary of masks. Many
masks restrict a childs vision,
so look for one that providessufficient visibility. If a childs
favorite mask is low on visibil-
ity, make children agree to
remove their mask when
crossing the street.
Parents understandably
worry when kids go trick-or-
treating. But a few simple safe-
ty lessons shared with chil-
dren can ensure everyone gets
home safe.

Theres a vampire on
the loose, and its not
Edward Cullen or one
of the other Twilight gang.
The trouble is this vampire
doesnt only lurk at night. Its
continually sucking up your
money and affecting the envi-
ronment. But there is a way to
stop it without sunlight, garlic
or wooden stakes. All you may
have to do is pull the plug.
Vampire power, also
known by another ghoulish
name phantom load is
the power many plugged-in
devices use even when theyre
in the off position. Chances
are if the plug is warm, its
sucking electricity, wasting
energy and costing you
money.
The Energy Information
Administration reports that in
the United States alone, vam-
pire power costs individuals
more than $3 billion a year.
While one cell phone charger
does not an energy crisis
make, multiply all of the
microwaves, televisions, alarm
clocks, A/C adaptors, etc. that
are plugged in throughout
homes across the world, and
one can quickly see how vam-
pire power can do its share of
damage. Its estimated that
many electrical devices use
more energy and cost con-
sumers more in the hours
theyre not being used simply
from vampire power drain.
Vampire power varies in
its level of destruction. Some
devices, such as chargers, have
been nicknamed wall warts
because they can waste up to
50 percent of power since
theyre always plugged in.
They continually provide a
charge even if there is nodevice. Other devices, such as
electric coffee pots or
microwaves use vampire
power to keep clocks working
or to illuminate digital dis-
plays. Refrigerators require
monitoring of internal tem-
perature to know when to
kick the motor into gear.
Televisions use phantom load
to be ready on a moments
notice to recognize a remotecontrol signal. Other devices
use the energy to make sure
they dont have to warm up
before use; certain parts of the
device are on all of the time.

of vampire power prolifera-
tion. As long as new
technological devices
come on the market,
the chance for the
vampire to sink its
teeth into the electrical
supply continues. All
of these devices are
known vampires: TVs,
VCRs, DVD players,answering machines,
MP3 players, cell
phones, stereos, lap-
tops, and desktops. Also, look
out for anything with a
remote, anything with a
charger or anything with a
clock display.
Fight Vampire Power Pests
1. Reduce the demand for ener-
gy. Gadgets are certainly fun,
but think about if you need a
multitude of these devices.
2. Choose Energy Star-quali-
fied electronics and appliances,
which generally use less power.
3. Seek out the real off
switch. Some devices have a
soft power switch on the front
that simply powers down the
device. The real off switch
may be located in the back.
4. When in doubt, simply
unplug it from the outlet.
5. Use a power strip.
Plug all of your devices
into one power strip
and turn off the power
strip when not in use.
This provides less has-
sle than juggling plugs
and outlets.
6. Invest in a smart
strip, which measurespower usage of com-
puters and peripherals.
Therefore, when you
shut down the computer, the
peripherals get powered down,
too.
7. Use a Kill-A-Watt device.
It tells you how much power an
electronic is using when on or
off. Itll help you identify the
biggest power drains.

For centuries people have
used wood floors in their
homes to add warmth,
elegance and charm.
Hardwood floors never go out
of fashion and can add real
value to your home. But until
now some rooms, such as bath-
rooms and basements, were not
considered good fits for wood
floors because of humidity con-
cerns.
Thats because wood
swells like a sponge when it
absorbs moisture and contracts
as it dries out, causing dimen-
sional variations in wood mate-
rials.
A simple way to prevent
dimensional variations in wood
is to control air temperature
and relative humidity using a
humidifier or an air exchanger.
However, in some situations,
such as in bathrooms and base-
ments, this may be hard to
achieve and floorboards will
contract and expand. The solu-
tion for homeowners looking
for wood flooring in these
rooms is a product with
enhanced dimensional stability
that is less susceptible to chang-
ing conditions engineered
wood flooring.
According to MichelCollin, Marketing Director at
Mercier Wood Flooring, a lead-
ing manufacturer of quality
wood flooring, engineered
flooring is made of plywood
with a thin hardwood surface
layer glued on top. Each layer
