erhaps you own a company and you are trying to grow your business the tried and true way through good will and referrals, 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 people 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 willing to 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 business that you would be looking to merge with or acquire? Do you have a good relationship

with your bank to secure a 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 acquisition to our practice. Our target would be a practitioner looking to retire within the next few years or someone 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 clients. We

A: Dr. Wise performs minimally-invasive facial rejuvenation procedures that restore the young architecture of the face and minimize recovery after surgery. By tightening the neck and defining the jaw line, Dr. Wises technique has created a long lasting, natural and youthful appearance in over 3,000 procedures. Q: Does it take a long time to recover from a facelift? A: No.

Baseball pitchers tend to get rotator cuff tears more posteriorly, while patients over the age of 35 tend to get tears in the anterior region of the shoulder. But not all partial tears need to have surgery! Full tears are more serious because they never heal back naturally. With partial tears, we almost

Shoulder in Focus: What causes pain?

he shoulder is one of the most complex joints to treat in the body. It can also be one of the most challenging. The reason is 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 structures 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 their shoulders, constant baseline pain.

The six most common diagnoses for shoulder pain are: 1) impingement syndrome, 2) rotator cuff tear, 3) biceps tendonitis, 4) AC joint arthritis, 5) labral tear and 6) glenohumeral joint arthritis. If you are suffering from shoulder pain, you may have one or all six diagnoses. Impingement syndrome occurs 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 tendon and the acromion. With moving the arm upwards, the rotator cuff tendon gets compressed by the acromion. As a result, the rotator cuff tendon and the overlying bursal layer can get inflamed. Rotator cuff tears often occur concurrently with impingement syndrome. We see partial tears very fre-

always try a course of physical therapy and an injection before considering surgery. Biceps tendonitis can also be a significant pain contributor in the shoulder.

The biceps muscle belly has two tendons arising from it. The larger tendon 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 thin tendon 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 probably not as common as originally thought a few decades ago. The AC joint is the joint made up of the

to make sure there is a good fit of personalities 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 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, present a business plan to your bank to discuss the reason for the business line of credit. If your bank is not actively pursuing 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 interest. 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 market for a prospect. Businesses can spread the word through their local chamber of commerce and other networking partners of the local newspapers. This would be appropriate if you are looking to keep your growth to a local community as opposed to growth on a state to state or international 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 season. 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 business 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

secured a line of credit from our bank. Now we will begin our marketing plan. So what will you need to do 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 business but in order for the business to go the next level a set of processes and procedures must be put in place for human recourses, finances, inventory, marketing, technology 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 target market. 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 joining to become a larger presence in a local community. If you are doing an acquisition instead, it could be that you prefer to be the sole owner as opposed to being in a partnership with someone else. In the case of a merger to a larger firm, you would want to do your due diligence. You would want to see a business valuation, a cash flow analysis, review the current bank statements, tax returns, financial statements, preferably audited or reviewed by a CPA firm. You would also want to spend time at the new firm

Retail or Resale can you tell the difference?

hoppers with an eye on Monolo Blahnik shoes or a Louis Vuitton handbag may want to turn to consignment stores to realize good deals on designer duds. Consignment stores are surging in popularity all across the country. Many look the same as mainstream retailers and are taking a chunk of their business profits, too. Consignment stores no longer carry the stigma they once did. Instead of grandma prints and last, last, last seasons styles, fashion-forward shops now offer a selection of gently used brand names and, very often designer merchandise to a discerning clientele of shoppers. A shopper may even be able to find new items straight from a manufacturers warehouse.

Consignment shop innovators, such as Double Take (www.edoubletake.com), a growing chain of consignment stores on the East Coast, regularly receive merchandise directly from designers, the wardrobe departments of television shows, and from socialites and fashionistas across the country. I never anticipated such an overwhelming response. From day one weve had a steady continuous 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 regular consignors. Says owner/operator Marci Kessler, who has been in the consignment busi-

Marci Kessler of Double Take inspects designer clothing and accessories for a prospective client as part of the companys consignment concierge service. To have your items considered, contact Marci at Marci@edoubletake.com or call (866) 678-6464. ness for more than 20 years, what is the draw to consignment? For shoppers, its the ability to get very good quality merchandise at a discounted price. Typically, consigned items will sell for 25 to 50 percent 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 to have their merchandise on display 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 individuals 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 frequently, offers Kessler. These people 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 currently more than 30,000 resale, consignment and thrift shops in the United States. The industry has also experienced a growth approximately 7 percent 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-ofdate or too much out of season. Some shops wont carry merchandise 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 866-6786464 or e-mail marci@edoubletake.com to discuss how to have your items considered and appraised for sale.

known as the blossom end because thats where the flower started before the pumpkin formed. Most varieties of pumpkins 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 applesauce can. Adding pumpkin to recipes provides a

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 rotated 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 face rotated 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

atthew graduated with honors from New York University in 1997 and began a satisfying career in orthopedics specializing in spine rehabilitation. Ever keen to learn and do more for his patients Matthew began studying diligently for his certification in Orthopedic Manual Therapy. This training exposed him to the concept of Maitland Australian therapy, the Maitland Concept is referred to as a concept and not as a technique. Emphasis is placed not on the technique of treatment but on a basic philosophya thought and decision making process, involving analytical examination and assessment on which treatment decisions are based. Matthew has also had the thrill of studying with worldrenowned therapists Brian Mulligan and David Butler, further expanding his clinical skills into more diverse orthopedic and nerve injury treatments. Not to be missed, Matthew also trained in the McKenzie Diagnosis and treatment of the spine. Matthew believes the combination of this training and education in the Australian, New Zealand and American treatment strategies have allowed him to provide broader range of treatment options thereby helping more patients. Matthew has been a Director of Physical Therapy for 8 years, helping develop spine and sports clinics into leaders in their respective communities. He is excited and eager to bring his skills to the Advanced Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy Center which specializes in: Spine Rehabilitation Treating Achilles and Ankle Injuries Meniscus Repair Pre & Post Surgically Repaired Hips, Knees & Shoulders Rotator Cuff Injuries

By Dr. Matthew Krupnick problems such as hypothyroidism and Cushings disease. Certain dog breeds with heavy, floppy ears such as Cocker Spaniels may be predisposed due to the excess moisture that builds up in their ears. Because there are many potential causes of ear problems, the next step is to visit your veterinarian 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 thorough 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 diagnosis 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 extremely painful to the touch. The treatment of choice for ear hematomas is surgery. The key to healthy ears is early treatment and prevention. Check your pets ears weekly. A slight amount of waxy buildup may be present in normal ears. If your dog

Does my pet have an ear infection?

oes 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 infections 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 different reasons such as allergies (seasonal/environmental or food allergies ), parasites like ear mites , foreign bodies like plant awns, endocrine diseases such as an underactive thyroid, your pets ear anatomy like excess hair or moisture, hereditary or immune conditions, and tumors. Pets with allergies, either to food or something they

inhale, often have ear problems. 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 inflammation from allergies changes the environment within the ear, which leads to secondary infections with bacteria 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 trials, immunotherapy or medication. Ear mites are a more common cause of ear problems 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 distinctive black coffee-ground

swims a lot, has pendulous ears, or a history of ear disease, routine cleaning may be recommended. Excess hair around the ear can be clipped by your groomer to allow more air flow. Its also important to treat any underlying condition, like allergies; otherwise the condition will likely recur. Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the owner of the Pequannock Animal Hospital. He grew up in Kinnelon and is happy to be home, with his wife, three cats and two dogs, to provide quality and compassionate care for your pets in the community.

appearance whereas infectious discharge is moister and ranges from brown to yellow. Other causes of ear infections 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

Backpacks and back pain


mend 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 necessary books. Try to bring home handouts and lighter workbooks.

By Gena Livingston placed on the side or the outermost compartment of the backpack, this results in uneven weight bearing and encourages back arching causing subsequent back pain. Lighten the load. The backpack should weigh no

ow that school is in full swing, most students are carrying backpacks that are much too heavy for them causing deleterious 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 nontraumatic 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 recom-

channels of marketing. With todays economy there are also opportunities to buy businesses at discounted prices. To recap, if you are looking to grow or expand your business: Have systems set up to run your business including documented processes and procedures. In other words FIRST get your house in order before you attempt an acquisition. Make sure you have enough Capital to make an acquisition. 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 outright or retain some of the talent. Set terms of the deal you would be willing to make and secure a line of credit if necessary. 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 transition 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 companies looking to grow and owners of companies looking for an exit strategy. It is also helpful 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 prepared 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 business! We are in the process of looking for an acquisition ourselves. We wish all local businesses great growth in these trying times and are willing to discuss tax planning initiatives at our office during this critical time of the year.

more than 15% of your childs body weight, 10% is ideal. Too much weight will cause your child to walk bent forward to support the weight on the back. Wear the pack correctly. The backpack should be centered in the middle of the shoulders and tightened so it 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 bending the knees and stand up using the legs. Buy the best backpack. Purchase a pack with multiple 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 pediatric physical therapist to assess any adverse affects from backpack use.

blending four generations in jewelry manufacturing with the meticulous and creative eye of a gemologist/designer. As their long time customers know, Kenny and Buddy take great pride in their work and would rather turn away a customer than lead them down a path that they know will not benefit them. Their true love though is the creation of unique high quality pieces of jewelry WHAT? YOU HAVENT SOLD YOUR OLD GOLD YET????? Whats the big deal? Everywhere you look you see advertisements telling you to sell your gold or unwanted jewelry. For those of you who havent jumped on this Cash for Gold bandwagon yet and wonder what the big deal is, here is an explanation: Over the past 20 years or so, pure gold (24K) has stayed in the range of $300 to $400 per ounce. Lets say you bought a 14K gold chain in 2002 for $100 and then a week later you discover that your dog chewed it up beyond repair. If you wanted to sell the chain back for the scrap value of the gold, chances are you would have gotten around $25 to $30, which would be about 25 to 30 percent of the purchase price.

Boston Louis JewelersSince 1987 A Great Local Success Story It all started back in the eighties with two local kids looking to make a few extra bucks after school. Kenny Boston and Louis Buddy Mazzo first met in the former Lincoln Park Boy Scout troop #170 and stayed friends throughout High School. Meeting again while in college they discovered that they were both involved in the jewelry business. At the time Buddy was helping at his grandfathers jewelry casting company and Kenny had been working in NYCs Diamond District and studying gemology. Both had developed a lot of contacts in the industry and thought it might be fun to start a project to make some extra money. Before long their hobby which they started with only $200, exploded and became their full-time careers. Decades later, their business is still continuing to grow. The Difference Experience Makes With nearly 60 years of working in the jewelry field between them, Kenny and Buddy have seen just about everything and dealt with just about every issue a jeweler can face. What gives them an extra edge in this highly competitive market is that they still operate the family jewelry factory,

At the penning of this article, gold is floating in the range of $1600 per ounce. This is the highest gold has ever been, and about four times as expensive as it was in 2002. So returning to that dog mangled chain example, you would now get back more than at you originally paid for it back in 2002, no matter the condition! For those of you who need to pay off bills or off-set the increasing price of everything these days, this is one aspect of the bad economy where you can actually profit. There is a lot of money to be had for gold, silver and platinum items you no longer wear. Surprisingly, now even items that are gold filled such as company and school pins, old cuff links and watch bracelets have value. Just a few years ago these items would have literally been thrown away! The new rising star is silver at roughly $40 per ounce, with great money being offered for old silverware, jewelry, and other formal serving pieces. Unlike a lot companies who have only recently jumped on this Gold Buying bandwagon, we have been buying estate pieces, diamonds, silver and old jewelry for over 25 years and consider it one of our areas of expertise.

Shoulder in Focus: What causes pain?


roof of the shoulder (Acromion) and the collarbone (Clavicle). A patient can have the most horrific 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 socket component of the shoulder ball-and-socket joint (glenohumeral joint). Anterior labral tears are frequently associated with instability especially in younger patients. If the patient has instability symptoms, the tear should probably be repaired surgically. Superior labral tears can cause a lot of problems particularly with stiffness if too aggressively repaired in certain patients. We tend to try a lot of non-surgical options first for superior labral tears. Posterior labral tears, for some reason, frequently 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 standard operation is a total shoulder replacement. A total shoulder replacement is a major operation that cannot be done arthroscopically, 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 joint for as long as possible, and try various injection options. So there you have it the top six causes of pain in the shoulder. As you can see, most diagnoses in the shoulder can often be treated without surgery. Just because it says Orthopedic Surgery on the card, it doesnt mean that coming to our office will mean a surgical recommendation. Please dont live with shoulder pain. Let us guide you to get better. Dr.Daniel Yoo is Fellowship trained in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine at the world renowned Steadman Hawkins Clinic Carolinas. He is board-certified with the Royal College of Surgeons and has published in numerous national and international scientific articles in orthopedic surgery.

he North Jersey Networking Group was formed in 2006 by a group of four or five local business owners. The mission of the group, which has grown to almost 35 members, was to provide business referrals to one another and support each other during the ups and downs of business ownership.

This mission remains, but the recent hurricane and the resulting floods also brought out another side of the groupa deep care and concern for the communities in which they do business. As the waters receded, the group quickly realized the members were in a position to support those impacted by the storm. Our hearts went out to our clients, our neigh-

bors and to all those touched by the storm, said group member Geri McGurk of High Definition Fitness of Wayne. Even members of the group were directly hit by the storms effects. Although the group only meets once a month, the phone calls and emails immediately put out the call to rally the groups resources. The groups president, Ed

Morba , president of Family Home Funding in Kinnelon, pulled a committee together who authorized an immediate $2000 donation to the relief efforts being led by The First Reformed Church of Pompton Plains. This was followed by donations of relief supplies, hands-on support to clear out devastated homes, serving meals, and doing laundry. After this outreach effort, the group is now re-examining their mission to include community service. We are leaders in our communities and its incumbent on us to be there when our communities need us most, said Jeff Harmon of Brilliance Within Coaching of Butler.

Safety first on Halloween

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-ortreating, parents may be home or at work hoping their kids are safe and sound. Because Halloween is so popular among kids, its hard for parents to forbid trick-ortreating. But parents should instruct kids on the following tips to ensure this Halloween is as safe as it is fun. Strangers homes are off limits. 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 trickor-treating, kids should always be accompanied not only by their friends, but there must be at least one adult chaperone 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 accompany kids to the front door if visibility from the street is poor. Choose safe costumes. Kids should wear costumes made of light colored material. If a child insists on a favorite costume that uses largely

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 especially 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 provides sufficient visibility. If a childs favorite mask is low on visibility, make children agree to remove their mask when crossing the street. Parents understandably worry when kids go trick-ortreating. But a few simple safety lessons shared with children can ensure everyone gets home safe.

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 accessorized with toy guns. Bring a flashlight along. Night falls quickly in late October, so kids and chaperones alike should carry a flashlight to improve their visibility and make them more visible to passing motorists. Stick to the sidewalks. Trick-or-treaters should stick

vampire 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 vampire power can

do its share of damage. Its estimated that many electrical devices use more energy and cost consumers 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 no device. Other devices, such as electric coffee pots or microwaves use vampire power to keep clocks working or to illuminate digital displays. Refrigerators require monitoring of intercontinued on next page

nal temperature to know when to kick the motor into gear. Televisions use phantom load to be ready on a moments notice to recognize a remote control 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. There is a growing threat of vampire power proliferation. 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, laptops, 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 energy. Gadgets are certainly fun, but think about if you need a multitude of these

devices. 2. Choose Energy Star-qualified 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 hassle than juggling plugs and outlets.

6. Invest in a smart strip, which measures power usage of computers 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.

rooms and basements, were not considered good fits for wood floors because of humidity concerns. Thats because wood swells like a sponge when it absorbs moisture and contracts as it dries out, causing dimensional variations in wood materials. 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 basements, this may be hard to achieve and floorboards will contract and expand. The solution for homeowners looking for wood flooring in these

Halloween inspired treats

art of the fun of Halloween is arriving home after a day of trick-or-treating and having some spooktacular treats to enjoy. Whether youre hosting a Halloween party or simply feeding a group of hungry, costumed kids, fun recipes that turn ordinary foods into spooky specialties are essential. Mummy Wraps Take the pigs in a blanket concept to a new level with this clever treat. Simply wrap hot dogs with strips of dough cut from refrigerator biscuits or breadsticks to simulate the look of mummy shrouds. Place them on cookie sheets. Cut small slits for eyes and place peppercorns or black mustard seeds to serve as the eyes. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown. To serve upright, place shish kabob skewers in the mummies before baking and then stick the mummies in a piece of craft foam covered in cheesecloth. Cheesy Fingers Whats scarier than dismembered digits on a plate? All it takes is a package of mozzarella string cheese, a knife and some small, thin slices of green and red bell peppers for this gross delicacy. Cut the cheese sticks in half and then use a knife to carve straight indentations to simulate the bends in the skin around the knuckles of the fingers. At the top, carve out a flattened area for the fingernail. Then place very small slices of red or green peppers to serve as the spooky fingernails. Adhere with a dab of cream cheese. Bottomless Bog This eerie bog will make children question what is inside. Make a large bowl of green gelatin dessert and pop in different edible creepy crawlies before allowing the gelatin to set. Gummy worms, grape eyeballs, sour fish, pieces of fruit tape, and anything else you can

think of can be added. Kids will scoop out the dessert and discover the frightening things inside. Skull Potatoes Turn ordinary potatoes into something seemingly more sinister. Halve baking potatoes and carve each half into a skull shape, sort of like the outline of a pear. Bake until the potatoes are cooked through then frost with sour cream. Use pieces of cheese to mimic decaying teeth. Black olives can be eyes and nose sockets of the skull. Quesadilla Ghosts An open-faced quesadilla can be turned into a spooky specter. Cut ghost-shaped pieces from flour tortilla shells. Sprinkle with shredded Monterey jack cheese and allow baking in the oven until the cheese has melted and the ghosts are crisp. Spread sour cream over the cheese and then use slices of scallion for

the eyes and a ring of jalapeno pepper for a mouth. Ghosts can be made gory with salsa as blood. Vampire Veggies What if veggies could suck blood? Conduct this science experiment and enjoy eating the research afterward. Cut the ends off of stalks of celery. Place the celery in a tall glass filled half-way with tomato juice overnight. The celery should absorb the juice through the thin channels in the stalks. The next day kids can bite into the stalks and see the red streaks inside. Spider web Garnish Top cupcakes, cookies and cakes with delicate, homemade spider webs Melt white chocolate baking melts in the microwave or per the manufacturers instructions. Use a squeeze bottle or a small spatula to drizzle the chocolate onto a piece of

waxed paper in the shape of a spider web. Allow the chocolate to cool and then carefully peel off the paper. Mashed Brains Create a shepherds pieinspired dinner thats inspired by the look of brains. Make your favorite meatloaf or hamburger recipe and place into a ramekin or even cupcake pans. Whip up a batch of homemade or instant mashed potatoes. Using a pastry bag fitted with an ordinary cake decorating tip you can pipe squiggly lines of potato across the meat. Bake for around 20 minutes, until meat is thoroughly cooked and potatoes are crisp.

Real Estate Agents can help save buyers and sellers money

ecord-low interest rates and record-low housing prices are renewing interest in the floundering housing market for many people. Now could be the time to sell and buy a new home and earn an even bigger slice of the real estate pie. Whether an individual is a buyer or a seller, or doing both, his or her goal is to get the best financial deal on the home and often that means having a qualified real estate agent working in his or her corner. Those entering the real estate realm may have misconceptions about whats involved.

Oftentimes, individuals think they can go it alone and save money on real estate commissions in the process. However, not having a knowledgeable agent to navigate the process can end up costing more money in the long run. An agent is not there just to open up houses for viewing or to simply put a for-sale sign on the front lawn. Agents guide the seller or buyer through a complicated process of legalities and emotional hurdles. The agent also negotiates for the buyer and seller to help them make important financial decisions.

When sellers are interviewing real estate agents to market their homes, their primary focus is usually on the advertising that the agent will offer them, says Jessica Goodbody of Weichert Realtors. Advertising is important, but, once sellers have an offer, they need a strong negotiator to help them get the best price and terms. Buyers should also look for agents who have strong negotiating skills and neighborhood knowledge which will help them make the most of their purchasing power. Individuals can expect a real estate agent to help them

navigate a process that, to firsttime buyers or sellers, can prove intimidating. Buying a Home 1. Schedule a consultation to discuss what features and amenities buyer is looking for in a home. 2. The agent may suggest buyers speak with a mortgage consultant to figure out their buying power and obtain a mortgage pre-approval letter. 3. The agent will then look up home listings in a particular price range and help the buyers to view the homes. 4. When buyers find a home

Coccia Realty welcomes Carmine Prudente


helped hundreds of individuals and families achieve their goal of homeownership as well as selling real estate. In his long tenure as a real estate expert, Carmine has been involved not only as a salesperson but as a Broker/Manager of a large franchise office. He was also a successful owner of his own Century 21 office in the area before he decided to return full time to sales. I enjoy helping my clients, many of which have become friends, find the perfect home or sell their home at the best possible price, explains Carmine. Being on the Coccia Realty Madison team, allows me to concentrate on assisting my clients and customers achieve their dream, while getting use of the most up to date tools in a state-of-the-art office. Mr. Prudente was born and raised in Madison. His grandparents settled there in the early 1900s, and were business owners for many years. He still has many family ties in and around the community. Besides being back in the town I love, the other reason I came to Coccia Realty is because their philosophy for their agents is simple; they allow their agents to do what they do best (list, sell/rent, and network) while the administrative team takes care of everything else. In other words, I can totally commit myself to my clients as my team takes care of the minutia. I like that, and appreciate it. Most importantly, my clients benefit from it. Selling homes since 1961, Coccia Realty, Inc. is a member in good standing of the National, New Jersey, and local Boards of Realtors, and members of the Garden State Multiple Listing Service (MLS), Hudson County MLS and the New Jersey MLS of which they are ranked in the top 2% of closed transactions. Their other offices are in Kearny, Lyndhurst, Rutherford and the acquired Farmbrook Realty in Montville Twp and converted it to Coccia Realty. You can find out more information on their website at www.cocciarealty.com or contact Carmine by cell (973)476-3657 or carmine@mycoccia.com .

effrey David Halpern, Vice-President and Branch Manager of Coccia Realty, Madison, recently announced that longtime Realtor, Carmine Prudente, joined the firm. We are very excited to have Carmine join our team, boasted Halpern The best words to describe Carmine would be knowledgeable, caring & ethical He added Carmine has been in the Real Estate business for over 30 years.

engineered wood floors can be used in almost any room in the home. This includes installing over dry, concrete slabs and some types of existing flooring. So now homeowners can enjoy the beauty of a real hardwood floor in areas they never thought possible before with solid wood flooring. Most engineered wood floors are pre-finished at the factory, which eliminates the mess, extra time and fumes associated with applying the finish coats at home. Collin notes that engineered flooring is not meant as a substitute for solid hardwood flooring. It is designed for applications where solid wood wont perform as well. Engineered flooring is also a great choice for renovations because it can be glued directly onto an existing floor. Our engineered wood flooring is perfect anywhere, Collin added. Its versatility and timeless appeal make it an ideal match in any decor, from the basement to the bedroom. More information on engineered wood flooring is available at www.mercier flooring.com.

Wood flooring in every room?

rooms is a product with enhanced dimensional stability that is less susceptible to changing conditions engineered wood flooring. According to Michel Collin, Marketing Director at Mercier Wood Flooring, a leading manufacturer of quality wood flooring, engineered flooring is made of plywood with a thin hardwood surface layer glued on top. Each layer of the plywood is glued so that the grain runs perpendicular to the next. This limits the contracting and swelling action as the movement of each layer is counteracted by the opposite movement of the next layer, thereby enhancing dimensional stability. This is most evident in Mercier engineered flooring, Collin explained, as unlike most engineered flooring, which is composed of three to five layers, Merciers contains seven cross banded layers for optimum stability. Engineered wood floors are constructed differently from solid wood floors and offer some advantages, he added. Thanks to advancements in manufacturing technology,

present at the home closing with the real estate attorneys. Individuals buying or selling a home can certainly do it by themselves, but real estate agents have the knowledge and provide assistance through the myriad steps of the process, helping individuals to save time and money.
