Living in the New York
Metropolitan Area is like
living in one big adver-
tisement. Voices from every
corner scream at you telling you
to go here, buy this, and dothat. Wouldnt it be easier if
there was a centerpoint for all
the madness? Life and Leisure
is now offering readers the
opportunity to become a part of
a new social community
through its new multimedia
effort. Springing from its newly
reformed website, a Life and
Leisure Facebook page will
become the central location for
community announcements,local reviews, and exclusive
offers only available to fans.
Advertisers will post several
weekly specials on the page that
are found nowhere else online
or in print!
Over the past few years
Social Media has taken its place
as a cornerstone of modern
society. It influences not only
how we communicate with
friends, but has transformed
into a medium by which con-
sumers and distributors caninteract in a casual comfort-
able way. Businesses have the
opportunity to reach out to
their client base directly
through Facebook, Twitter,
and other social media vehi-
cles by posts and media that are
easily accessed and give a face
to the brand. Consumers, on
the other hand, are given the
stage to offer feedback and pro-
vide raw insights that are other-wise difficult for businesses to
access. Truly it is an arrange-
ment that thoroughly benefits
both parties.
Visit the Life and Leisure
page at www.facebook.com/life-
andleisurenj and click LIKE
at the top of the page. You will
then be able to take advantage
of dozens of community savings
as you find yourself a part of the
Life and Leisure Community
online. Life and Leisure is excit-
ed to facilitate such a powerfulcommunity connecting point
and looks forward to the benefit
it will have on Northern New
Jersey!
This new online presence
stands to benefit local business-
es and advertisers as well. Life
and Leisure is proud to begin
offering a social media manage-
ment service to help boost the
connectivity and interactivity
between advertisers, their mar-
ket, and the community.

posts to blogging and promo-
tional materials. Contact Joe

The Franciscans Response to
Fracking (FRF) chapter at St.
Marys Parish, Pompton
Lakes, will join other environ-
mental groups in Trenton on
Thursday, June 14, to appealto legislators to support two
bills that are currently pend-
ing. One of the bills,
A575/S253, would ban waste
water from hydraulic fractur-
ing (fracking) from being
treated, disposed of, or stored
in the state; the second bill
A567/S246, would ban frack-
ing itself in New Jersey. More
than seventy organizations,
including the FRF group at St.Marys, are lending support
and taking part in this event.
Attendees will be included in
briefings, a noon-time rally,
in-hall lobbying and will pos-
sibly meet one-on-one with
local legislators to discuss thecontroversial issue of fracking,
a process that releases natural
gas from shale by fracturing
it with millions of gallons of
water, sand, and chemicals.
Jackie Schramm, director of
the Social Justice Ministry at
St. Marys, of which the FRF
group is a part says the public
is invited to join the group
from St. Marys. Anyone
interested in taking part orlearning more about the day
in Trenton on the 14, or
learning more about the FRF
group, is asked to call Jerome
at 607-348-5773 no later than
June 12.

Remember as a child,
throwing a ball as high
in the air as you could,
knowing that in a few seconds
it would return to the earth?Do you recollect watching a
fireworks display and the
residue after the explosions
falling back down to the
ground around you? Perhaps
youve been a victim of the
droppings of a bird flying by?
Maybe you were a shareholder
in Lucent or Enron or some
other stock or mutual
fund when you were
reminded of Newtons law
of gravity.
Readers, stockprices cannot defy gravi-
ty any more than a base-
ball thrown into the air.
Everything created has a
life cycle. Born, grow,
prosper, retire and die.
Think about Kodak,
Mack Truck or Wool-
worths for a moment,
once leaders in their respec-
tive fields and now basically
no more than a faint memo-
ry. At one time, railroad
stocks ruled Wall Street dur-ing the Industrial Revolution
and for decades later. Today,
the stock certificates of those
behemoths, instead of being
the talk of Wall Street are
used as decorations and wall-
paper memorializing a
bygone era. Just like people,
companies and their stocks
have different mortality rates
and qualities of life. It is
important to remember thatnothing in life or the life of a
company is status-quo,
except for death. Death by
merger, death by take-over,
death by bad decisions, death
by superior competition,
death by obsolescence or by
sale; its all the same in the
end, the shareholders usually
take a bath.
At least with mutual
funds, there is someone orsome group leading the port-
folio who can buy and sell
holdings or stay on top of
changes in companies or
industries to navigate the
waters, nimbly making
changes, additions or dele-
tions as the companies with-
in their portfolio react to the
never ending news feed
called the internet! Why go
at it alone, when you canhire the brightest and best,
most talented fund managers
in the nation to get a fight-
ing chance at beating the
odds to prolong the longevity
of your portfolio and retire-
ment nest-egg for the rest of
your life and beyond? The
only way I can think to make
the outcome better is to guar-
antee* the results through
the purchase of a variableannuity with a living benefit
rider!
A living benefit rider
enables the investor to guar-
antee* a monthly income for
as long as they and their
spouse live, regardless of how
low the account value may
fall, even if it drops to zero! If
the account rises because of
positive performance, the
rider will lock-in and resetthe withdrawal base to either
the highest monthly, quarter-
ly or annual anniversary
(depending on the individual
contract and company).
This new figure will result in
a higher income check, also
guaranteed* for the rest of
your and your spouses life!
Therefore, could one say
that a variable annuity
including a living benefitrider, with the portfolio allo-
cated to stock and or bond
funds, could actually defy
gravity as it pertains to life-
long retirement income? The
answer is a resounding Yes!
In my opinion it is impera-
tive that everyone be aware
of their investment options
to include the one discussed
here. Want to know more?
Call me for a no cost, noobligation appointment.
Youll leave empowered with
the knowledge and motiva-
tion to take appropriate
action with your retirement
funds!

W
e are now entering
a new era of health.
The mouth is defi-nitely connected to the rest of
our body, from an anatomic
and medical standpoint. The
last two articles gave numer-
ous, viable connections
between oral and body health.
In the future, there will be
even more evidence of inter-
relationships to medical
issues. Total patient care will
soon be real for dentists and
physicians. Here are some
tests just emerging for dentists
to perform:
A1C levels of diabetic
patients
Lp-PLA2 levels of
cardiovascular patients
Advanced blood panelswith preventative cardiology
AHI and RDI levels
of obstructive sleep apnea
patients (AHI stands for
Apnea-Hypopnea Index.
Respiratory Disturbance
Index assesses the severity of
sleep apnea.)
MPO levels to determine
existing cardiovascular disease
(MPO is an enzyme associated
with coronary artery disease.)
C-reactive protein levels
HDL levels for assessment ofrisk for Alzheimers disease and
stroke
Genetic component of
patients
Microbial (bacterial and
viral) components
The American Academy
for Oral Systemic Health has
been a part of brainstorming
sessions with the American
Academy of Private Phy-
sicians to bring the medical
and dental communitiestogether to improve overall
care for patients. This revolu-
tion will someday be an every-
day reality in dentistry.

In my world, salad isnt
food. Salad comes with the
food. As comedian John
Pinette puts it, salad is a
promissory note that food will
soon arrive. When I see
salad, my most primal instinct
tells me that something good
is about to happen, but has
not happened yet. Having
said that, walking up to a
restaurant called Saladworks
Caf made me wonder how
full of a belly I would leave
with when all was said and
done.
To make a long story
short, I was wrong. Salad is
food and I left stuffed.
But lets back up. The
caf-style establishment offers
the comfortable ambiance
required for a nice meal as it
simultaneously emanates a
young fast-paced vibe; very
conducive to the style of food
served. As we took our seats
we were greeted by owner
Vinod Kapoor who indicated
that the Saladworks Caf line-
up includes much more than a
variety of salads and dressings,
but also features paninis, cia-
batta sandwiches, and soups.
Flipping through the menu I
was impressed by both the
breadth and depth presented.
We decided we would begin
with a salad, move on to a
soup and finish with a sand-
wich.
I selected the Bently
Salad, which includes ham,
turkey, swiss and hardboiled
egg. After asking Vinod what
dressing went well, he offered
me a taste of a Saladworks
original: Green Goddess. It is
essentially a ranch dressing
with garlic and loads of herbs.
I was sold on it, and even
requested extra to drench my
salad. My buddy ordered theBuffalo Chicken Salad with
Bleu Cheese and found it to
be delicious. The creaminess
of the dressing mixed with the
crunchy lettuce and crispy
chicken all converged to
explode with flavor. Each
salad screamed freshness.
Vinod made it a point to
explain to us that all vegeta-
bles are fresh and are cut up
right in his kitchen.Next was the soup. One
of the specials for the day was
the Italian Wedding Soup.
Being of Italian descent, I
couldnt bring myself to pass it
up. Im sure glad I didnt
because it was outstanding!
Small meatballs gave way to a
hearty broth with fresh veg-
etables. I couldve taken a
bath in it! It was even served
with a warm roll for dipping.
Now Im a pretty big guy and
it takes a lot of food to fill me
upbut at this point even
after just soup and salad, I was
already getting full.
Finally, our sandwiches
were brought out to cap off
the meal. My friend ordered a
Turkey Melt with bacon and
cheddar cheese. I didnt get to
try any of it mostly because he
wouldnt let me. Evidently it
was too delicious to give up
even one bite. My
Fajitalicious was quite the fla-
vor bomb as it mimicked the
Mexican Fajita and included
romaine lettuce and roasted
peppers on ciabatta bread.
Frankly, the size of the sand-
wich alone probably couldve
filled me up.
So heres what I learned:
If you ever find yourself need-
ing a speedy meal, remember
that quick service food doesnt
have to be greasy and
unhealthy. Stop in to
Saladworks for a delicious
salad or sandwich made with
only the freshest most whole-
some ingredients. Saladworks
also does catering for all typesof events. To learn more visit
1628 Route 23 North in
Wayne or call 973-628-1687.

since opening three and a half
years ago.
Whether it is due to previ-
ous injury, a malformed bite, or
crooked teeth, cosmetic den-
tistry has become an essential
and a fast growing branch of
the dental profession. Cosmetic
dental procedures can be as
basic as whitening or as
advanced as implants or the
replacement of lost gum tissue.
Truly, what cosmetic dentistry
can achieve is vast, and at the
skillful hands of Dr. Lauren
Salch and Dr. Ryan Zlotkowski
patients can be at ease. For the
dentists believe patient and
doctor should be a team
throughout the cosmetic
process, so as to ensure the best
possible treatment outcome.

toward beginner readers in 1st
or 2nd grade, or any child who

aloud. Come meet Clancy
and her owner Bonnie Bona.
Clancy is a friendly, well-
mannered Maltise mix who is a
good listener and also does
tricks. Read to him the story of15, 14, 13, 12 Students
are counting down the
days to the end of
school; even though the
school year is coming to a
close and summer is begin-
ning, learning must not take
a vacation. Two months is
too long for education and
learning to take a break.
Summer vacation is great for
our bodies, but we must con-
tinue to push and challenge
our minds to best be prepared
for the upcoming school
years and what lies ahead.
During the college
admission process only the
top performers and appli-
cants gain entry into your
childs chosen institution of
higher learning. The decision
and habits you and your chil-
dren make today pertaining
to not only their education,
but also how they study, will
either curse or bless them for
the rest of their lives. Our
mission at Brainy-Acts is
to prepare your child aca-
demically for their future and
the world that awaits them.
It has often been said
that knowledge is power,
however, Brainy-Acts
believes in the 7P's: Proper
Prior Planning Prevents Poor
Performance Period.
Through the preparedness,
structure and reinforcement
of basic and advanced learn-
ing skills along with the
techniques of the Brainy-
Acts teachers, tutors and
mentors, your child will have
an expert to guide and define
their talents, abilities, and
strengths, placing them firm-
ly on the road to prosperity
and success. Brainy-Acts
preaches that knowledge is
power ONLY when used.
Brainy-Acts works
with each student, individu-
ally, and starting in
September, from our brand
new and the most technolog-
ically advanced tutoring
facility in North Jersey! In
addition to assisting students
with their academia, Brainy-
Acts will coach them in
proper public speaking and
etiquette, school stress miti-
gation techniques, personal
safety, people skills, college
and career choices, and inter-
viewing skills, as part of our
comprehensive tutoring sys-
tem.
The countdown until
the first day of the new
school year is quickly
approaching. During this
summer, help your child
excel and prepare for this
exciting re-entry to the class-
room as a new and improved

Summer and the warm
weather are just about
here. It's time to get off
our couches and venture into
the great outdoors. These plans
will often include your furry,
four-legged friends. However,
dogs and cats can suffer from
hot weather problems similar
to those of the human- like
enduring the heat, bugs and
allergies. As it gets hotter, it is
important to take some simple
precautions to keep our pets
healthy and safe from the haz-
ards that accompany summer.
Heat stroke is a very seri-
ous and very common occur-
rence during the summer
months and results when your
pet's body temperature rises
above the normal range. Heat
stroke can be a life-threatening
disease, can afflict dogs or cats
quite rapidly and be difficult to
treat. A little prevention can
go a long way. Certain pets may
be predisposed to this condi-
tion such as brachycephalic
breeds (i.e. pushed in nose) like
a Bulldog or Persian cat, over-
weight pets, very young and
very old pets or ill pets. Heat
strokes occur a lot in late spring
and early summer because our
pets are out of shape and are
not yet acclimated to the hot
weather. Therefore, introduce
pets to exercise slowly. Also, try
to exercise pets in the morning
or evening when temperatures
are lower. Be sure to provide
your pet with plenty of breaks
for water and time to cool
down in the shade.
There are many ways to avoid
heat stroke. The most known
adage is to never leave a pet in
the car on warm days. Even
with the windows open, tem-
peratures in a car can rise to
deadly levels within minutes.
Dogs and cats dont sweat the
same way we do. They thermo-
regulate mostly by panting and
can sweat minimally through
the bottom of their feet. One of
the easiest preventative meas-
ures is to make sure that pets
have free access to water and
shade when kept outside.
Early signs of heat stroke
may include rapid panting,
heavy breathing, excessive sali-
vation, increased body temper-
ature (i.e. above 100-102
degrees F), depression, weak-
ness, and vomiting. If you sus-
pect that heat stroke is taking
place, seek immediate veteri-
nary attention. In the mean-
time, you should remove the
animal from the hot area and
start lowering your pets body
temperature. This shouldn't be
done too quickly, which can
also be dangerous. Therefore
only use cool water, NO ice.
An easy remedy is to place cool
water soaked T-shirt on your
pet and take them right to your
veterinarian. Aside from heat
stroke, more outdoor activities
mean the risk of outdoor trau-
mas and increased accidents.
Some tips include: not leaving
pets unsupervised around a
pool, make sure all pets wear
flotation devices on boats, and
try not to let your dog drink
pool water, which contains
chemicals that could cause
stomach upset.
Cats that are allowed out-
doors also venture out more in
the summer. Be on the lookout
for abscesses and other
fighting injuries. Cats
that are neutered or
spayed may be at a
lower risk of such
injuries as they are
unlikely to be involved
in mating-induced
aggression. The best
way to avoid these injuries is to
keep your cat indoors.
The warmer months also
means more bugs. Fleas are a
common pest that live off the
blood of their hosts and can
cause itching, or worse, an
allergic reaction called flea-bite
dermatitis. Fleas can also be
carriers for an intestinal
parasite called tapeworms.
Mosquitoes are another pest
that may carry heartworms,
which can be life threatening
to your dog and cat. More trips
to the dog park can also
increase exposure to infected
soil and intestinal parasites,
some of which are transmissible
to people (zoonotic). In North
Jersey, we cant forget about
ticks that can carry a variety of
diseases, most notably Lyme
disease. Preventatives for fleas,
ticks, heartworms and intestin-
al parasites are available from
your veterinarian and should
be given year-round. The bene-
fits of prevention far outweigh
the nuisance and health haz-
ards for your pet and to us as
well.
Another summer risk for
cats that live in apartment
buildings or in homes with a
second floor is high-rise syn-
drome. This is the unfortunate
scenario of us wanting to open
windows in the nice weather
and cats falling out of them.
Cats dont deliberately jump
out of windows but can fall if
screens arent properly secured
or if they are focused on an
insect or bird and become dis-

Your skin is the largest
organ of your body. It
protects you from
harmful bacteria and viruses
that can cause infections. It
also helps your body sense the
outside world and regulate
your body temperature.
Therefore, it should
come as no surprise that bil-
lions of dollars are spent each
year on skin care products and
billions more are spent on
medical costs to treat dam-
aged skin. From powders and
lotions to sunscreens and
firming creams, caring for
your skin is a necessity
throughout your lifetime.
From infancy to adulthood,
proper skin care can help
ensure healthy skin through-
out your life.
As we grow older, our
bodies produce less moisture,
drying out the skin, which
then begins to lose its elastic-
ity and its ability to protect
the rest of the body. For many
people, looking after the skin
is not only a question of aes-
thetics, but it is also essential
for ones health and well-
being. Conditions that stress,
clog or inflame your skin can
cause symptoms such as red-
ness, swelling, burning, and
itching. Allergies, irritants,
genetic makeup, certain dis-
eases, and immune system dis-
orders can cause dermatitis,
hives and other skin condi-
tions.
A lotion called Col-
umbia Healing Cream has
been developed by dermatolo-
gists to help people of all ages
tracted. Cats can be seriously
injured even if they fall even
from a short distance. This syn-
drome is 100 percent preventa-
ble by having secure screens or
enclosures for our windows.
With some simple prevention
our pets can enjoy this summer
as much as we do.
Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the
owner of the Pequannock Animal
Hospital. He grew up in Kin-
nelon and is happy to be home,
with his wife, three cats and two

passionate care for your pets in
the community. The Pequannock

Fathers Day is a special
celebration where we
take time to honor the
patriarchs of our families. We
reflect on the sacrifices that
our fathers have made as well
as the commitments they
have promised to us.
Unfortunately, we dont
always show our fathers the
respect they deserve despite
the numerous contributions
they have made to support
their families. Fathers Day
gives us that opportunity to
honor our dads and show
them how grateful we are to
have them in our lives and
how much we truly love
them.
Our fathers not only
provide our material needs,
but they also teach us many
things throughout life
whether that is a set of skills,
learning how to play a sport,
change a tire, apply for a job;
the list goes on and on. Dads
not only provide us with
material gain, however, they
also can provide much more.
For example, I look at my
own father and see what he
has taught me throughout my
life. I have been very fortu-
nate to have such a wonder-
ful father who has dedicated
so much time and work to
benefit my family and me so
that we could live the life
that we currently have.
The first thing he has
taught me is family always
comes first. My dad has
always made time for his fam-
ily. He also taught us to
always make time for each
other. Growing up my dad
would set aside time for us to
be together as family whether
that be through family din-
ners, a weekly family night,
summer vacations, or Sunday
afternoon adventures.
Through spending these lit-
tle times with us, my dad was
constantly involved in our
lives. I know that today, a lot
of families do not get to
experience this privilege, but
I am so grateful that my dad
has taken the time to keep
our family together. Because
of this, we are a close-knit,
loyal, and loving family.
Another important
thing my dad taught me is
family requires sacrifice.
Although I did not learn to
appreciate it until I was
older, I learned how many
sacrifices my dad made so
that he could be involved in
my siblings lives and mine.
Job opportunities, increased
income, etc. are just some of
the benefits my dad passed up
so that he could be there for
his wife and kids. Even grow-
ing up my siblings and I were
asked to forfeit our own time
whether that be personal
time or time with our friends
so that we could make time
for our family. I believe this
lesson is one of the most

balance of moisture in their

important ones because not
only did our Dad make sacri-
fices, but all of us
had to as well. My
dad was just the
one who set the
example by giving
up so much more
for our family.
My dad has
taught me many
great things grow-
ing up which I hope
to one day put into
practice myself.
What he has passed
down to me are life
lessons that ulti-
mately represent
what being a father
is all about.
Unfortunately,
many of us have
not had the best
relationships with
our fathers; some of
us have no relation-
ship whatsoever. Fathers Day
can be one of the most
depressing days of the year
for some people. Even
though our Dads may have
failed us in some way or
another, there has most like-
ly been someone else who
stepped in and filled that
father figure role. We may
not have even realized this at
the time, but looking back,
most of us can see men who
have stepped in where
fathers failed to, whether it
has been a short-term or
long-term relation-
ship. Although they
may not be our bio-
logical dads,
Fathers Day is also
a way to commemo-
rate these men as
well who have been
like a father to us in
specific areas in our
lives.
So as we celebrate
this Fathers Day,
let us remember all
the things our
fathers have done
for us whether great
or small. Let us
honor and show
respect to the men
who have supported
our families and
have taught us
invaluable lessons
that they passed
down as part of their legacy
which we too can hopefully
one day pass on to our chil-
dren.

I
n an era of over-the-top,
ultra-expensive birthday
parties whose extravagance
rivals lavish weddings, some
might find it invigorating to
scale things down and host a
pool party.
A pool party is an ideal
way to host a birthday or other
special event without having
to do a lot of planning. All
that is typically needed is an
available pool and party par-
ticipants ready to have a good
time.
Many people mistakenly
think that a pool party is
something that can only be
done during the warm weath-
er. Actually, you can plan a
pool party any time of the year.
Many fitness gyms, schools
and scuba certification loca-
tions open their pools up to
public parties. Therefore,
whether the event is held in
June or January, chances are
there is a pool available that
can accommodate the crowd.
One main advantage to a
pool party is that the pool is
the entertainment factor for
the guests. There's no need to
spend hours thinking up games
or other forms of entertain-
ment. Swimming, splashing
and jumping into the water
will keep many guests occu-
pied for hours. If you prefer
more structure, consider relay
races, diving games and water
volleyball.
Party preparation
Start with the invitations
when preparing the party.
Select a colored paper or pat-
tern that is reminiscent of pool
water. A vibrant aquamarine
would fit the bill. Print out a
catchy phrase that describes
the upcoming event (i.e.,
Jimmys Party is Bound to be a
Splash), and be sure to remind
guests to bring towels and
bathing suits. If you will not
have enough chairs for all
guests, ask them on the invite
to bring a beach chair as well.
Put together a selection
of music that evokes summer
fun or tropical locations.
There are bound to be compi-
lation playlists available for
purchase. An instrumental
steel drum album also would
be effective. Remember, this
pool party should look and feel
hot. Music will help set that
mood.
Tie decorations into the
theme. Purchase or rent inflat-
able palm trees and string
lantern lights around the party
area, if possible. Keep plenty of
beach balls on hand to toss
around in or out of the water.
Table linens can be purchased
in bright hues to match the
blue, red and yellow strips of a
beach ball. Be sure to have
plenty of fun pool toys avail-
able, such as floats and water
guns. Have a few extra pairs of
eye goggles on hand as well as
sun block (if the party is out-
doors) in case swimmers forgot
their own.
Pool party food
Think about which foods to
serve at a pool party. Light,
finger foods are ideal because

Rising fuel costs and a
suspect economy has
forced many home-
owners to look for ways to cut
costs around the house.
Conserving energy is one way
to do just that. And in addi-
tion to saving money, con-
serving energy also helps save
the planet.
Though preserving ener-gy around the house might
sound difficult, it's actually
quite easy, and you don't have
to sacrifice comfort to con-
serve. The following are a few
ways to conserve energy
around the house and help
your bottom line and the
planet at the same time.
Cool it with the hot water.
Heating water for the home
accounts for a significant per-
centage of your monthly utili-
ty bill. But many homeowners
might not know just how sim-
ple it can be to reduce the
costs of heating the water. Youcan trim between 3 to 5 per-
cent off your utility bill for
every 10 degrees you dial
down the thermostat on your
water heater. A water heater
set in the range of 130 F won't
require as much energy to heat
and hold water as one set
around 140 F or above, and a
setting of 130 F is enough to
prevent bacteria from growing
within the tank and still pro-
vide water that's hot enough
for a shower or bath. A water

heater set around 130 F might
also extend the life of thetank. That's because chemical
reactions speed up in tanks
that are hotter, accelerating
the buildup of rust within the
tank.
Install a digital thermostat.
A digital thermostat makes it
easy for homeowners to auto-
matically turn down their
thermostats during times of
the day when no one is home.
The thermostats can be pro-
grammed to turn up the heat
shortly before you typically
arrive home, so you won't beforced to sit in a cold house
when you get home, nor will
you be forced to pay to heat a
home while no one is there.
The thermostat can also be set
in the summer to allow the
temperature in the home to
rise without automatically
triggering the air condition-
ing. When shopping for a dig-
ital thermostat, be sure to pur-
chase one that is compatiblewith your HVAC system.
Otherwise, the thermostat
might not work properly.
Turn off the lights (and
change the bulbs!). Perhaps
the simplest way to conserve
energy around the house is to
turn off the lights in empty
rooms. It's easy for all resi-
dents of a home to turn on a
light when entering a room,
only to leave that room but
keep the lights on. But elec-
tricity used for lighting can
constitute as much as 10 per-
cent of a monthly utility bill.
How much of that electricity
is being used to illuminate
empty rooms? Get in the habit
of turning lights off whenever
you leave a room. Though the
savings here might not be sub-
stantial, turning off the lights
will help conserve energy.In addition to turning off
the lights, be sure to use com-
pact fluorescent light bulbs, or
CFLs, instead of traditional
incandescent bulbs. CFLs
consume less energy, don't
give off nearly as much heat as
incandescent bulbs and can
last as long as 10,000 hours,
which is roughly 10 times as
long as the best incandescent
bulb.

Make use of nature.
Homeowners can also employ
their landscape to help con-
serve energy around the
house. A strategically planted
tree, for example, can shade a
room that is exposed to the
sun throughout the day. That
shade can make it cooler
inside the home, allowing res-
idents to stay cool inside with-out having to rely too heavily
on their air conditioning unit.
During the winter months,
open the curtains during the
day to allow sunshine in, nat-
urally adding a few degrees to
the home so you won't have to
crank the temperature on the
thermostat. Homeowners hop-

the house can do so in a num-
ber of ways without having tosacrifice comfort or luxury.

Whenever I try a
new Asian
restaurant, I feel
the need to spread the word.
There is something about
Asian food in the New York
Metropolitan Area that gives
it an almost cult-like follow-
ing. Whether its the best
sushi, General Tsos Chicken
or Pad Thai, youve just got
to tell everybody. And once
youve heard about it,
youve just got to try it.
So here goes: Theres a
new Asian Restaurant in
Wayne called Blossom
Asian Bistro and I loved
itGO TRY IT!
I love Asian food,
but to be fair, I find
myself trapped by myown palette of the same
old dishes and rolls.
What is incredible about
Blossom Asian Bistro is
that they make it almost
impossible to stick to the
same old. They take classic
Japanese, Chinese and Thai
dishes and make them into
something truly one-of-a-
kind by adding an explosive
flair of their own. Proof ofthis lies in the fact that
through the entire meal I
never used soy sauce once.
Now if you know me and my
salty cravings, you know
thats quite hard to believe.
But Blossom creates such
savory sauces to accompanytheir sushi rolls; soy sauce is
almost an insult to the very
integrity of the dish!
Take the Mirage Roll for
instance. As a newcomer, the
menus description of the
Mirage Roll led me to believe
I would be served a simpleshrimp and avocado roll.
What I actually enjoyed
(no savored) was indeed a
shrimp and avocado roll;
however it was presented
quite differently than I was
used to. It came delicately
wrapped in a pink soy paper
and seaweed, topped with
the chefs special baked
sauce. Bathed in this deli-
cious warm sauce, the MirageRoll was an absolute winner.
Taking it up a notch in the
creative department was the
Angry Lobster Roll. Creamy
and sweet with another
amazing sauce laid atop, I
cant imagine why its called
an angry roll. This master-
piece made my taste buds
sing.
Beyond the sushi are
dozens of Pan-Asian dishesthat absolutely blew me
away. I tasted a baked mussel
I certainly wont soon forget,
a Crispy Thai Snapper that
was unbelievable, and I was
absolutely delighted by
Blossoms version of Beef
Negamaki. If youve never
had Beef Negemaki, dont try
it anywhere else but Blossom.

the tradition of the dish
requires. They then take it a
step further (the Blossom
Way as Im beginning to
notice) and add mushrooms
to truly bring the taste home.
Grilled, seared, and always
fresh; this classic dish just
explodes with flavor!
Managing partner Stacywas absolutely thrilled to
have us. It was beyond an
excitement to show why her
product is valuable; she gen-
uinely wanted to serve us and
see us leave full and content.
While we were seated at the
sushi bar, it was clear that the
restaurant was spacious with
delicate Asian tones that fos-
tered a classy yet relaxing
atmosphere that is great for
families and adults alike.
There is even a private room
for parties and gatherings.
Fathers Day is nearly here

ates in our lives. Why notarrange your party at
Blossom? Ill tell you some-
thing, after the meal I had, I
was about ready to book my

there! You simply cannot
find this style of food at such
a high level of quality any-
where else.

Director Tim Burton
has seemed to be MIA
for the past two years
since the release of his 2010
blockbuster Alice in Wonder-
land, but this summer hereturns with three movies to
make up for his lost time on
the screen. Burtons first of the
three films is Dark Shadows,
which is based on the hit
1960s soap opera of the same
name.
Dark Shadows tells the
story of Barnabas Collins
(Johnny Depp), an affluent
young man living during the
1700s. Barnabas is obsessedover by one of the familys ser-
vants, Angelique, who is
determined to win Barnabas
love and affection. However,
Barnabas refuses Angelique
and pursues a woman name
Josette. Out of jealousy and
anger, Angelique, who is also a
witch, kills Barnabas parents,
his lover, and finally, turns him
into a vampire and reports him
to the townspeople. Barnabasis locked up and buried in a
coffin where he remains for
200 years until a construction
crew accidentally digs him up
in the year 1972. The story
then picks up with Barnabas
trying to acclimate to the
1970s.
Dark Shadows features
some great visuals and an
interesting style of a gothic
horror film. It also features astar filled cast including
Johnny Depp and
Michele Pfieffer.
Unfortunately, it
lacks much more.
The storyline pro-
gresses slowly and
seems to forgo anytrue depth. The film
is a dark comedy, but
all the funny lines
have already been
revealed in the pre-
views (most of the
humor comes from Barnabas
trying to take in the 1970s).
Ultimately, Dark Shadows was
a disappointment. After antic-
ipating another Depp and
Burton collaboration, I hadhigh expectations for the film.
The beginning of the movie
starts off promising, but it fails
to go anywhere after that. The
audience is left with a dragged
out story that was uninterest-
ing and simply not entertain-
ing. Hopefully, Burtons next
two films, Abraham Lincoln
Vampire Hunter and Fran-
kenweenie, will be able to
make up for Dark Shadows.
