Apetition to push the
federal government toaddress Passaic River
Basin flooding has passed the
5,000 signature mark and con-
tinues to gain support from
local residents and people from
around the country who
acknowledge that severe flood-
ing of the Passaic River Basin
deserves federal funding of a
long-term solution.
Assemblyman Scott T.
Rumana (40th District,Passaic, Bergen, Essex, and
Morris) launched the on-line
petition drive (www.floodpeti-
tion.com) that “encourages the
federal government to priori-
tize the Passaic River Basin in
New Jersey as a presidential
priority in the Fiscal Year 2013
budget request to Congress”
with the late AssemblymanAlex DeCroce. Assemblyman
DeCroce’s widow Betty Lou
was recently sworn-in as the
Assemblywoman representing
her late husband’s former
District, which encompasses
areas affected by flooding. She
has committed to continuing
her husband’s efforts to bring
real solutions to thousands of
residents and businesses within
the Passaic River Basin.“The federal government
needs to make solving the
chronic flooding of the Passaic
River Basin a priority,” said
Rumana, who acknowledges
President Obama’s inclusion of
$1 million in his FY 2013 budg-
et. “I applaud the administra-
tion for making Passaic River
Basin flood control a
Presidential priority. I amhopeful that this will result in
an acceleration to achieve a
project that will once and for
all solve our flooding prob-
lems. To that end, we need to
keep the pressure on the feder-
al government.”
Plans are underway to cre-
ate a video to accompany an
email blast. If you have any
photos or video from the latestflood or would like more infor-
mation on the petition or to

It should make sense, cut
calories, and lose weight.
So substituting a no-calo-
rie alternative for sugar
should save calories thereforeleading to weight loss.
But do these diet foods
really help you lose weight?
Think about it, with all
the sugar substitutes out
there why are obesity rates
on the rise? It should be as
simple as reduce portion
sizes, eat more fruits and veg-
etables and exercise, but is
that really all it takes?
It’s actually much more
complicated than that. It’scalled over processed foods
and chemicals, which our
bodies are not equipped to
deal with. But let’s concen-
trate on the many chemicals
that makeup artificial sweet-
eners.
There is now evidence
that artificial sweeteners are
linked to weight gain and
make it harder for people to
shed fat. For one, the sweet-
ness confuses your body intothinking it has sugar, it tastes
like sugar to your body and
actually increases cravings
and appetite. Studies have
also shown that they actually
change the body’s natural
ability to regulate calorie
intake, making it easier to
overeat!
Many health issues are
associated with these unnat-
ural substances. There is evi-
dence that people who use
sugar substitutes are at a
higher risk for a myriad of problems such as abdominal
fat, high blood pressure and
insulin resistance which put
people at risk for heart dis-
ease, diabetes and even can-
cer.
Sugar substitutes are
made up of chemicals linked
to cell and DNA damage.
Our bodies are bombarded
with an overload of these
toxins and chemicals andcannot handle it.
So what’s the answer?

As introduced in the
last issue of Life and
Leisure, readers are
encouraged to call, mail, fax
or email their financial ques-
tions to me for a response, so
everyone can benefit from the
answers. Questions must
include the name and contact
information of the reader, yetmay remain anonymous in the
paper. This week’s first two
questions are:
Dear Mark: My husband
and I are 40 something with
two girls ages 3 and 5. We feel
like we are doing everything
right, contributing monthly to
529s ($200 per child), auto-
matically contributing to my
husband's 401k and maxing
out his company match. Werefinanced our mortgage down
to 4%, which paid for itself in
7 months. We carry no credit
card debt, though we use them
to pay for EVERYTHING we
can, but we pay them off each
month. Our only other debt is
one car payment, our mort-
gage and a student loan pay-
ment of $200/mos. Despite
being what we feel is finan-
cially responsible (we can
account for every dollar spent
in the past 10 years!) we areanxious about paying for col-
lege, having enough for retire-
ment and knowing the right
amount of life insurance we
should be carrying on each of
us. Any help in how we can
work towards ensuring our
financial future and that of
our children's is secure would
be appreciated. Carolyn E.
Dear Carolyn: Thank
you for writing, what a pleas-ure to read your financial
report card; I grade you and
your husband an “A”. Not an
A+ though, because of the
529 plans which, as I’ve writ-
ten before, I do not like them
at all. In concept and theory
they sound good, 2 kids and
the abhorrent future price of
college, the 529 plan created a
vehicle to accumulate wealth
for that purpose. The problemis, the success you will enjoy
in the plan will hurt or hinder
the availability for financial
aid packages available to you
for college when the girls
apply. 529 assets are part of
the EFC, Expected Family
Contribution. There is a bet-
ter way that will accomplish
the goal of accumulating capi-
tal for college and at the same
time, maximize your aid eligi-
bility, in other words, have
your cake and eat it to.Interestingly, the solution ties
into your second question,
ample life insurance coverage
for you and your spouse. To
elaborate, I will need a bit
more information. In this way
I can do some work for you
and create some fascinating
proposals and illustrations
that will completely satisfy all
of your requirements.
The answer for Carolynlies in the proper life insur-
ance for her and her husband.
Interestingly, life insurance
cash values are not factored in
the EFC formula; yet, their
cash value may be accessed for
college tuition needs, tax-free,
if removed from the policy
properly. Further, the cash
value accumulations may be
linked to a stock market index
like the S+P 500 where, byformula, can only grow with-
out the possibility of negative
returns from crashes and cor-
rections. Therefore, Carolyn
and her husband can use thesame money to provide for the
proper life insurance protec-
tion today, a supplemental
tuition reimbursement plan in
13 and 15 years respectively
and ultimately a tax-advan-
taged retirement plan at their
age 67, to complement their
Social Security benefits all at
the same time! Thank you
Carolyn for your question,
additional information isalready on its way to you.
Our next question comes
from Bruce M, a high school
teacher in Wayne:
Dear Mark: Why would a
person ever have a Variable
Annuity inside a 403(b)? As
someone who deals in annu-
ities I am hoping you will have
an interesting take on this
issue. Thanks, Bruce
Dear Bruce: Your ques-tion is an excellent one and
interesting at the same time,
the 403(b) industry was
devoted exclusively to vari-
able annuities in the begin-ning of their introduction to
the investment community

equities (stocks or stock mutu-

Bridesmaids are an impor-
tant part of the wedding
party, and most brides
opt to have a handful of close
friends and family members
play a special role in the wed-
ding. Choosing a gown and a
color that will flatter all of the
bridesmaids typically takes a
little work.
An overwhelming majori-ty of couples choose to have a
formal wedding. The average
number of bridesmaids for
these formal weddings is four.
Considering around two mil-
lion weddings take place in
North America every year,
that's a lot of bridesmaids for
whom gowns and other attire
must be planned.
Many bridesmaids worry
about the gowns they will wearcome the big day. Horrible
bridesmaid dresses have been
the butt of jokes for years, and
many people have their own
stories of garish gowns they've
been asked to don for a wed-
ding. Some have said that
brides intentionally choose
ugly gowns for their brides-
maids to ensure they're not out-
shined come the wedding day.
Although this may be the case
for some, most brides aspire to
select gowns that will be flat-tering for all. And color
scheme is integral in the choice
of gown.
Every well-planned wed-
ding carries a color scheme
throughout. This includes the
color a bride selects for her
bridesmaids to wear. But not
every color accentuates every-
one's features. Therefore, some
experimentation might be nec-
essary to find a color that is flat-tering to all and fits with the
color scheme.
Depending on hair color
and skin shade, there are many
flattering hues available for
gowns. When making this
decision, consider bridesmaids'
ethnicity and skin tone.
African-American: Women
with dark skin and hair may
really shine in jewel-colored
gowns, including silver, gold,
purple and salmon. Very pale
colors may be daring and con-spicuous.
Asian and olive-skinned
women: Those with a slight
yellow tone to their skin will
look good in many colors,
including red, navy, peach, and
fuchsia. However, avoid colors
in light yellow, aqua, gray,
taupe, or mint, which may
make the bridesmaid look
washed out.
Fair skin: Ladies with paleskin will benefit from richly
colored gowns in jewel tones.
Pastels may work, but be care-
ful about those depending on
hair color. Pink or red-hued
gowns may clash with someone
with auburn hair. Yellow and
green may not work with a fair
brunette. Gray and silver may
wash out someone who is pale
and blonde.
Once a color is chosen,
brides also need to consider the
season. Certain colors may lookout of place depending on the
season. For example, an ever-
green or deep blue may seem
wintry during a summer wed-
ding. Similarly, russet or brown
may work for the autumn but
not for a spring wedding. Many
brides gravitate toward mid-
level blues, greens, pinks and
purples for their weddings, sim-
ply because those colors tran-
scend the seasons.After colors are worked
out, the style of the gown
deserves consideration.
Because not every bridesmaid
has the same physical attrib-
utes, many brides are now open
to selecting a color and length
and allowing the bridesmaid
herself to choose the exact
style. This way someone who is
busty won't feel uncomfortablein strapless, and someone who
is thin won't be overwhelmed
by a lot of ruffles. The intent is
to have bridesmaids feel beau-
tiful and comfortable, and dif-
ferent styles can help achieve
this.
Making the effort to
choose a gown color and style
that is flattering to all in the
bridal party will help the ladiesfeel they are truly a special part
of the wedding.
Coloring the wedding; Choosing a hue for the bridesmaid gowns
Choosing a gown that flatters bridesmaids is a significantresponsibility for prospective brides planning their big day.

E
rgonomics is the study of
the relationship between
people and their work-
place. Its fundamental purpose
is to improve the work environ-
ment in order to reduce unnec-
essary stress and strain on the
human body. Ergonomics has
now come to include not only
the workplace, but any envi-
ronment where one may do a
task or activity: the home, the
workshop, driving the car, and
so on. Whatever environment
one is in, being aware of body
positioning and continually
seeking to improve the design
of the environment to mini-
mize stress and strain on the
body will help to ensure a
healthy spine.
The following are some
key points to remember when
learning to "think ergonomi-
cally":
Whenever possible, posi-
tion your environment toreduce strain on your body
rather than straining your body
to accommodate the environ-
ment. For example, if you work
at a desk, do not place heavy
objects that you regularly use
(like heavy files or books) in
the drawer on the side of the
desk. In order to get them you
are forced to bend and twist at
the same time, a motion
responsible for many back dis-
orders. To avoid chronic neck
and upper back problems, posi-
tion computer and T.V. moni-
tors so that, when sitting nor-
mally, you are not forced to
look down. Monitor and adjust
your environment to ensure
your body positioning and
motions are balanced.
Be "posturally aware" at
all times. Posture is vital to
spinal well-being and health in
general. Think optimum, bal-
anced posture as it relates to
everything you do. Question
how you can improve your
work or leisure environment so
that optimum posture can be
best maintained. For example,
does your environment allow
you to "think tall"?
Design your environment
so that your three basic spinalcurves are maintained as close
to normal as possible. While
you are sitting or standing, does
your environment force you to
slouch, rounding your mid-
back and pushing your head
forward? When you sit, is your
back supported so that the nor-
mal arc is maintained without
you feeling strain? Does your
job or recreational activities
require you to look down or
bend forward for prolonged
periods?
Your chiropractor can
help you improve the ergonom-
ic factors in your life to ensure a
healthy spine.

What a thrilling time
for parents watch-
ing their baby tak-
ing their first tentative steps.
Sure it’s 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
matter 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 chil-
dren 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 won’t 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
intervention to appropriately
strengthen the necessary mus-
cles utilized for walking.
The baby is not only a
late walker, but never crawled
and scooted on his bottom to
get around. Scooting is an
asymmetrical activity that typ-
ically utilizes one side of the
body to get around the envi-
ronment. 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 skele-
tal and muscular problems into
adulthood. Crawling is an
important developmental
sequence because it not only
builds strength in the trunk,
shoulder girdle and hips neces-
sary for stability during stand-
ing and walking, but also uti-
lizes both right and left hemi-
spheres in the brain in a com-
plex action of neurological
coordination.
The baby seems very floppy
and has a hard time maintain-
ing upright positions. 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

Old age happens. Our
dogs are no excep-
tion. As our dogs
become senior citizens, their
physical and mental capabili-
ties change and their needs
change too. Being aware of
these changes and knowing
what to expect will help your
pet’s golden years be happy
and comfortable.
Some common changes
that you may expect to see in
your senior dog are: loss of
hearing or vision, decreased
activity and/or weight gain,
changes in skin or fur, dental
disease, more sensitive stom-
ach, lumps and bumps, or
even dementia. These
changes don’t happen at the
same time for all dogs because
in general, smaller breeds live
longer than larger dogs. A
good rule of thumb is that, on
average, a dog is considered a
senior at 7 years of age.
Senior dogs may act dif-
ferently and may require dif-
ferent care but age is not a dis-
ease. These dogs aren’t lost
causes and minimal effort can
add years to their lives. The
main focus should be on pre-
vention. Whenever possible,
it is better and less costly to
prevent a problem from occur-
ring, rather than wait for a
problem to develop. Detecting
diseases in their early stages
greatly improves the out-
come. Advancements in vet-
erinary medicine have kept
our pets alive longer, healthier
and happier. If there is a prob-
lem with your dog, don't
assume it’s just because he/she
is old, and nothing can be
done. With the appropriate
treatment, which can be sim-
ple and non-invasive, many
conditions can improve.
Geriatric care for your
dog and prevention begins
with routine visits to your vet-
erinarian. Most pets visit
their veterinarian once a year
but it is recommended that
senior pets be seen every 6
months. Mainly because dogs
age approximately seven times
faster than us and early detec-
tion of problems is key. Your
veterinarian may do the fol-
lowing to assess and maintain
a healthy senior dog: take a
thorough medical history not-
ing changes in behavior and
physical abilities, a complete
physical examination, early
detection blood work and uri-
nalysis, aspiration of any new
lumps or bumps, x-rays, glau-
coma checks and blood pres-
sure checks.
Based on the veterinari-
an’s findings, treatment
options and care can be dis-
cussed. One of the most
important aspects is nutri-
tion. In general, a high quali-
ty senior food is recommended
once your dog reaches 7 years
of age but there may be very
individual nutritional needs.
The best food to feed depends
on the specific problems or
nutritional requirements of
the individual animal. For
instance, obesity is a very
common problem of older ani-
mals and will shorten their
lifespan. A lower calo-
rie/higher fiber diet
would be recommend-
ed for these dogs.
Other diets would be
advised for dogs with
GI disorders, kidney or
liver disease, arthritis,
skin problems, etc.
Home care is also essen-
tial. Close observation of any
changes in mobility, drinking,
eating, etc should be noted
and reported to your veteri-
narian early. Potential prob-
lems may also be uncovered
by getting your hands on your
pet to inspect them periodi-
cally.
Feed a good quality dog
food that is appropriate for
your dog's specific needs. Do
not allow your pet to gain
excessive weight which is very
common when your senior
dog’s metabolism slows down
and they don’t exercise as
much. It can make them
more prone to arthritis, heart
disease and diabetes. Follow
your veterinarian's recom-
mendations as to exercise,
nutrition and any medications
that may be needed.
Our senior dogs may not
be able to do what they used
to but with a little prevention
and early detection they can
still live a happy, fulfilling life
and still be wonderful com-
panions to us.

If you're kept awake at night
by someone who snores,
you're not alone. It’s esti-
mated that 70 million
Americans snore; and, it
becomes more common as we
age — by age 60, more than
half of adults snore.
The log-sawing vibrations
are often the result of air trying
to move through narrowed or
floppy, soft passages in the
mouth, throat and nose. Other
times, the air is obstructed by
anatomical abnormalities, such
as over-sized tonsils or uvula —
that “punching-bag” like thing
that hangs in the back of the
throat.
Ramtin Kassir, M.D., an
ear, nose and throat doctor and
Chairman of the Department
of Otolaryngology at St.
Joseph’s Wayne Hospital in
Wayne, NJ, says lots of patients
come into his office at the urg-
ing of their partners. They
report being "kicked out" of
their bedrooms for their loud
snoring.
Many men don't even
realize they're doing it, Kassir
says. And, yes, men are twice as
likely as women to snore.
"The reason men are
affected more than women is
likely due to fat distribution.
When men gain weight, it is
usually in the neck, upper torso
and abdomen," he says. "On
the other hand, women usually
gain weight in the hips and
thighs.”
Fat in the neck area can
constrict airway passages and
lead to increased snoring. And,
as we age, the soft tissue inside
the mouth and palate can sag,
just as wrinkles develop with
aging skin.
HOME REMEDIES
Weight Loss and Sleep
Position
Weight loss is one of the
most important elements in the
treatment of sleep apnea.
Sleeping on your side and ele-
vating the head with an extra
pillow "may help prevent col-
lapsing in the back of the
throat," says Kassir.
Avoiding Alcohol
Alcohol and sedatives can
relax the palate of your mouth
and decrease the opening in
the throat, which leads to snor-
ing.
"I tell people to avoid
alcohol for the three to four
hours before going to bed," says
Kassir.
Treating A Stuffy Nose
If you have trouble
breathing through your nose,
over-the-counter deconges-
tants or breathing strips that
adhere to your nose could help.
"There can be a narrowing or a
collapse in your nose, and
[breathing strips] can keep that
area open, but if you have a
septal deviation or nasal
polyps, they need to be
addressed”, says Kassir.
When Snoring Turns
Dangerous
Sometimes, snoring can
be a sign of sleep apnea, a
potentially serious disorder in
which breathing repeatedly
stops and starts. Sleep apnea is
more common in overweight
people, though normal weight
people can also develop it.
For someone who is
already prone to sleep apnea,
weight gain can increase the
risk, says Kassir. Fat "pads" can
constrict the airway and lead to
snoring, or in cases of sleep
apnea, a complete collapse of
the airway.
Obstructive sleep apnea
increases the chances of stroke,
heart attack, and high blood
pressure. A few studies have
also found an association
between snoring and higher
rates of cardio-vascular risk fac-
tors including high-blood pres-
sure.
"The important thing is to
do a take home sleep study to
find out if you have sleep apnea
in addition to just snoring”,
says Kassir.
When Is Surgery
Recommended?
Doctor Kassir recom-
mends surgery when anatomi-
cal problems are causing exces-
sive snoring.
The Nose
For example, some people
have a deviated septum, which
is when the thin wall that sep-
arates the right and left side of
your nose is displaced to one
side. When a deviated septum
is severe, it can block one side
of your nose and reduce airflow.
ENTs also perform surger-
ies on people who have over-
sized "turbinates," or bumps on
the inside the nose.
"These bumps or shelves
help warm and clean the air"
says Kassir, "but if they're big or
become enlarged they can
crowd the nasal cavity."
The surgery shaves the
bone in the nose down to a
normal size. After the surgery,
the reduced turbinate ridges
open up space so air can move
through unobstructed.
The Mouth And Throat

T
oys that encourage
physical fitness are a
great way to keep
your children fit, active and
having fun all year-round.
Therefore, giving the right
activity-gift will not only
ensure your kids have fun,
but will also stay healthy
without even realizing it.
What is an activity-toy?
One of the most popular
activity gifts is the ride-on-
toy. Aside from being fun,
ride-on-toys offer many addi-
tional benefits, such as devel-
oping a sense of balance and
coordination, and make a big
contribution to a child's
overall physical fitness. This
year, take a look at the
PlasmaCar by Plasmart Inc.
It's a mechanical marvel that
can be driven on any flat sur-
face, indoors and outdoors,
and is powered solely by kid-
power. This attractive vehi-
cle is a fun way for kids to
ride around the neighbor-
hood, keep their bodies fit,
and have fun at the same
time. It requires no batteries
or fuel, just the occasional
cookie or two for the driver.
What makes a good
outdoor gift?
Outdoor toys need to be
well made. Not only do they
need to stand-up to rough
pace and a wait and see atti-
tude 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 musckuloskele-
tal problems into adulthood.
A skilled pediatric physical
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.

Outdoor toys should also
have rounded corners to help
prevent scrapes and cuts that
go hand-in-hand with out-
door fun. Makers of the
PlasmaCar say it's highly
durable and can handle a
load of up to 100 kg (220 lbs)
on a smooth, flat surface, and
55 kg (120 lbs) on a rough,
flat surface. Not only will it
handle the daily abuse at the
hands of your children, it's so
durable that parents can have
fun riding it, too. The colour
is highly appealing to kids --
and with its rounded curves,
seat and steering wheel, this
design will help reduce sum-
mer bumps and bruises.

to tackle the clutter and get a
home presentable in no time at
all. When you're short on time,
consider these ways to give liv-
ing spaces the appearance of
cleanliness.
Kitchen
•Assess the kitchen sink and
move all the dishes awaiting
washing into the dishwasher.
Wipe down the inside of the
sink with a disinfecting wipe or
a clean sponge.
•Wipe down the countertops
quickly with a wipe or sponge.
Wet a paper towel or rag and
attack any errant spots on the
stove and floor, which will
become sticky and attract more
dirt.
•Fold or hang dish towels in a
way that camouflages any
stains.
•Place a small pan of water on
the stove with some nutmeg
and cinnamon and bring to a
simmer. This will disguise any
smells lingering from last
night's dinner.
•Take down magnets and notes
stuck to the refrigerator and
temporarily place them in a zip-
per-seal bag.
•Use a static-charged sweeper
sheet to grab any hairs, dust or
pet fur from the floor.

If I could tell you how to
build a home with practi-
cally no more money than
a conventional heating and
cooling system, and you’d
have no heating or cooling
bills, would you do it? If I
could then tell you how to
eliminate your electric bills
also and end up with a “net
zero” home, would you do it?
I would hope so, because
this is all possible now, and
you really don’t have any out
of pocket costs because it’s
part of the cost of the house.
A Geothermal Heating
and Cooling system works off
the constant 54o temperature
of the earth. With heat
pumps that take heat out of
the house in the summer and
bring it into the house in the
winter, you have an air distri-
bution system that is the
most comfortable of any
heating or cooling system
there is. If dry heat bothers
you with asthma, bronchitis
or allergies, geothermal will
reduce those symptoms and
you’ll be much more comfort-
able.
So here’s how it can
work. Contracting for a
geothermal system with Solar
& More will give you the
opportunity to save 30% on
your system and your home’s
insulation and ductwork.
How do we do this? We
design and include the
home’s air handling and
ductwork into the
Geothermal system. We
then provide the spray-in
foam insulation as part of the
Geothermal system also.
This does two things; it
increases the insulation from
the home’s “envelope” (the
insulated living area of the
house) and reduces the size of
the Geothermal system
because of this extra insula-
tion. Spray in insulation is
much more efficient than
standard mat insulations pro-
vided with most homes.
What’s all this mean?
Basically, you get a
Geothermal system for the
same amount as a traditional
heating and cooling system.
And, you get a much tighter
home with fewer drafts and
the most comfortable heat
and cooling system you can
buy!
So now you’ve finished
building the house and you’re
in. What happens next?
You‘ve reduced your heating
and cooling bills by up to
70%! You also cover about
70% of your domestic hot
water bills with this geother-
mal system as we install a
“desuperheater” that trans-
fers heat from the heat
pumps to a hot water heater.
What could be better!
Tell your architect to be
sure he considers a
Geothermal system. If he
doesn’t, we’ve got an archi-
tect who will design this for
you and it won’t cost you any
more than a traditional
design. If he’s really good,
he’ll also give you a south
facing roof for some solar
panels. This could eliminate
the remaining portion of
your electric bill to give you
that “net zero” home…no
electric, no heating and no
cooling costs…for the life of
your home. That’s energy
efficiency!

•Go to the sofa and turn the
pillows to the side that is not
often facing outward. Consider
this the "company side" that
may not have any stains or mars
in the fabric. Fluff the pillows to
clear out dust.
•Use a handheld vacuum to
clean up any crumbs or dirt on
tables or in the sofa cushions.
•Wipe down coffee tables with
a damp cloth to clear away dust
and fingerprints.
•Wet the fingertips of rubber
gloves and glide your hand over
upholstery to rid furniture of
pet hair.
•Keep a basket handy to neatly
store newspaper, magazines or
books.
•Gather and remove the most
obvious clutter and relocate it
elsewhere less noticeable.
•Dim the lights and light can-
dles. It's harder to spot dirt in a
dim room.
Bathroom
•A premoistened wipe can
quickly clean the sink and
counters from dried-on contact
solution or toothpaste.
•The same wipe can be used to
rid the mirror of errant spots of
splatter.
•Use the same cloth to wipe
down the toilet seat and the rim
underneath. Use the toilet
brush to scrub inside the bowl
to remove any rings.
•Put new hand towels on racks
or on the counter.
•Glide a lint roller over the
bath mat to remove hair and
fuzz.
Bedroom
• If the children's rooms are
messes, close the doors and
make those rooms off-limits.
•Make your bed and fluff the
pillows.
•Take dirty clothes to the ham-
per and put away anything left
out. If desperate, pile it into the
closet to attend to later.
•Neaten the night stands next
to the bed, removing personal
effects or storing it in the
drawers.

Call it a sign of the
times or just plain
good luck for those of
us yearning to swap fast food
fare for some tasty home cook-
ing. Potluck gatherings are
back and one of this year's
hottest trends in entertaining.
Although these commu-
nal "luck of the pot" meals
(where everyone brings theirfavorite dish) hearken back to
the late 19th century, they
found their footing in the
mid-1950's when it seemed
like every mom in the neigh-
borhood was filling casserole
dishes for church socials and
family get-togethers.
"There are three primary
reasons driving the return of
potluck -- our schedules, the
economy and childhoodmemories," says Chef Jeff
Gillis, www.Celebrating
Home.com. "We live such
fast-paced lives that divvying
up the cooking makes home
entertaining more realistic
than putting all of the burden
on the hostess. Making one
dish instead of several also
helps stretch the budget --
something we're all looking to
do these days. And, let's face
it -- after years of dashing
through the drive-thru,
wouldn't you like to sit down
to some home-cooked food,
even if it's only once a week?"
Got potluck fever but not aclue what to do? Here are four
tips that'll make your next
gathering both tasty and styl-
ish, plus, a family-fave recipe
that'll put your home on the
map as potluck heaven.
Organize Participants
Divide the meal by cate-
gories so guests will have a
balance of appetizers, entrees,
sides and desserts from which
to choose. Cooks needn't
commit to a specific recipe but
it's helpful to know up-front
that a well-rounded meal is in
the making.
Agree on Advance Prep
All dishes should becooked prior to arrival so only
a quick re-heating is required.
Everything should also hit
your doorstep ready for pres-
entation to avoid last minute
searches for serving bowls and
platters.
Choose Easy-Fix, Crowd-
Pleasing Recipes
To appeal to guests vary-
ing tastes, save the exotic for
later and dust off mom's(or grandma's) cookbook.
Traditional potluck dishes like
casseroles, chili, soup, bread,
and cakes are always popular
and easy to make.
Dress Up the Table
Remember the special
tablecloth mom used for
Sunday dinner? Create some
memories for your own family
with a pretty fabric tablecloth,
cloth napkins (pretty and eco-
friendly!) and some candles.
A few minutes is all it takes to
create a festive look that'll
make guests feel honored to
have gathered around your
table.Ingredients:
1 pound round steak, cut
into bite-sized pieces
1 large yellow onion,
roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
fine
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced
tomatoes
6 cups beef broth
(or stock)11 ⁄ 2 teaspoons dried thyme

ural sweet foods. It’s going to
be hard at first because youare desensitized to sweetness,
and healthy satiating foods
such as fruits and vegetables
are less sweet. 1 tsp. of sugar
won’t even taste sweet to
you, because you are used to
the high sweetness of artifi-
cial products. But once you
do you’ll see the difference
and will even begin to taste
the “chemical” in the prod-
uct.The bottom line is that
there is no substitute for eat-
ing “real” foods and regular
exercise.

December 2011 Harvard
Health Letter. Dr. David
Ludwig noted obesity
researcher explores the possi-
ble connection between
sugar substitutes and weightgain.

The skinny on
artificial sweetenerscontinued from page 4 al fund like alternatives). The
biggest difference with a vari-
able annuity is the death ben-
efit feature that protected the
value from market losses at
the death of the annuitant.Another name for a 403(b) is
a tax-sheltered annuity or
TSA. TSA’s are available to
teachers as well as hospital
workers and not for profit
organizations as their retire-
ment plan of preference and
all annuity types are available
as a TSA to include tradition-
al fixed, fixed indexed and
variable annuities.
Bruce, I believe yourunderlying question is: Is their
value in rolling over or trans-
ferring an employer sponsored
403(b) into an IRA variable
annuity where they both pro-
vide income tax-deferral any-
way?
The answer is absolutely
yes! In addition to a death
benefit VA’s also offer a living
benefit rider (LBR). This fea-
ture, unavailable in most TSAversions, would provide
immediate upgrades and
incentives for the participant.
With different nuances from
each issuing carrier and prod-
uct, it’s important to check
the fine print to secure the
best benefits in line with the
purchaser’s individual goals
and objectives. The finest
LBR’s share in common, a life-
time income guarantee for sin-gle or joint annuitants, a step-
up mechanism to lock in per-
formance gains if any and an
annually increasing “roll-up”
feature that will increase your
income base in periods of
declining or negative market
performance. Most school
sponsored 403(b)’s do not
offer living benefit riders
which is truly a shame! It
would be my pleasure to
demonstrate to you and your
fellow teachers the variable
annuities I feel offer the best
combination of benefits and
value. Bruce, just email me or
call, better yet, come on overas I never charge for a consul-
tation and my kids would like
to see one of their favorite for-
mer teachers. All annuities
are not created equally nor are
403(b)’s for that matter;
therefore they should be stud-
ied carefully before making
any exchanges or cancella-
tions.
Readers, please continue
to send me your financialquestions. Every question will
get my personal response even
if it doesn’t make it to this
page. Thank you all for your
participation and the opportu-
nity to be of service. Maybe,
next issue will be your chance

in print!
