Perhaps you own a com-

pany and you are tryingto grow your business

the tried and true way through

good will and refer-

rals, but havent

achieved the growth

you have wanted.

Our firm is a prime

example of this. We

gain new clients and

lose some due to

companies going out

of business and peo-ple moving out of

State.

Consider the idea of a

merger or acquisition. You

may be thinking that you

dont have the capital or cant

raise the capital needed to do

this. You may be in better

shape than you think. Banks

and prospects may be willingto work with you under your

terms. First you will need to

determine a few things. How

much of a deposit could you

give to a prospective seller?

What would your preference

be of the volume of the busi-

ness that you would be look-

ing to merge with or acquire?

Do you have a good relation-

ship with your bank to securea line of business credit? What

steps do I need to take first?

Lets use our firm as

an example and look

at the steps involved.

We decided to look

for a small acquisi-

tion to our practice.

Our target would be a

practitioner looking

to retire within the

next few years orsomeone who had a

small tax business on the side

and had taken a full time job

who was looking to sell. Next

we wanted the billings to be

mix of business and individual

P

umpkins are a common

sight come around

Halloween. This fruit ofthe fall is often used in decorat-

ing the interior and exterior of

homes, but can be an

integral component

of cooking and bak-

ing as well.

Little thought is

given to pumpkins

and their makeup.

But pumpkin afi-

cionados who want

to know more aboutthese delicious gourds

can dig into the fol-

lowing facts.

Pumpkins are a member

of the squash family that grows

on long vines close to the

ground. Before pumpkin fruit

grows, brightly colored flowers

will form and then turn into

pumpkins. Pumpkins adapt too

many climates and are grownon all of the continents except

Antarctica.

In colonial times, settlers

and natives alike relied on

pumpkin as a staple of their

diets. The British saw the pos-

sibilities of pumpkins as a food

source and brought seeds back

to Europe to enjoy as well.

Pumpkins are comprisedof several parts. The pumpkin

is covered in a skin that sur-

rounds the pulp, or the

meaty part of the

pumpkin. The stem is

at the top of the

pumpkin and con-

nects to the vine.

Tendrils are thin

pieces of vine that

tether the pumpkin to

the ground to protectit from the wind and

weather. The inside of

the pumpkin is known

as the cavity and can contain

seeds and fibrous strands. The

bottom of the pumpkin is

known as the blossom end

Dig into these pumpkin facts

Pumpkins are a common sight in fields and at

homes and businesses come October.

The shoulder is one of

the most complex

joints to treat in the

body. It can also be one of the

most challenging. The reasonis that there are so many nicks

and crevices, if you will, in

the shoulder. Probably more

than any other joint, its the

doctors physical examination,

rather than an MRI that will

help to diagnose which struc-

tures are contributing to the

pain. Patients with shoulder

pain may struggle a great deal:

not being able to sleep at

night, pain and/or weakness in

lifting their arms over theirshoulders, constant baseline

pain.

The six most common

diagnoses for shoulder pain are:

1) impingement syndrome, 2)

rotator cuff tear, 3) biceps ten-

donitis, 4) AC joint arthritis,

5) labral tear and 6) gleno-

humeral joint arthritis. If you

are suffering from shoulder

pain, you may have one or all

six diagnoses.

Impingement syndromeoccurs when the rotator cuff

tendon rubs on, or impinges

on, the roof of the shoulder,

the acromion. Typically

patients have a tight space

between the rotator cuff ten-

don and the acromion. With

moving the arm upwards, the

rotator cuff tendon gets com-

pressed by the acromion. As a

result, the rotator cuff tendon

and the overlying bursal layercan get inflamed.

Rotator cuff tears often

occur concurrently with

impingement syndrome. We

see partial tears very frequently

in the general population.

Baseball pitchers tend to get

rotator cuff tears more posteri-

orly, while patients over the

age of 35 tend to get tears in

the anterior region of the

shoulder. But not all partialtears need to have surgery!

Full tears are more serious

because they never heal back

naturally. With partial tears,

we almost always try a course

of physical therapy and an

injection before considering

surgery.Biceps tendonitis can also

be a significant pain contribu-

tor in the shoulder. The biceps

muscle belly has two tendons

arising from it. The larger ten-

don attaches to the coracoid

bone in the chest, while the

thinner tendon goes

along the front of the

shoulder and attaches

deep in the shoulder

joint. This small thintendon going into the

shoulder is packed with

pain fibers, and can

cause a lot of pain for

something so darn

small! Again, we try

other non-surgical

options before resorting

to an operation.

AC joint arthritis is prob-

ably not as common as origi-

nally thought a few decadesago. The AC joint is the joint

made up of the roof of the

shoulder (Acro-mion) and the

collarbone (Clavicle). A

patient can have the most hor-

rific looking x-ray with bony

spurs along the AC joint.

However, unless their physical

examination is consistent with

AC joint arthritis, we dont

always recommend surgery for

just the x-ray finding.

Labral tears sure cause a

lot of controversy at shoulder

society meetings. The labrum

is the lining for the socketcomponent of the shoulder

ball-and-socket joint (gleno-

humeral joint). Anterior

labral tears are frequently asso-

ciated with instability especial-

ly in younger patients. If the

patient has instability symp-

toms, the tear should probably

be repaired surgically.

Superior labral tears can causea lot of problems particularly

with stiffness if too aggressively

repaired in certain patients.

We tend to try a lot of non-sur-

gical options first for superior

labral tears. Posterior labral

tears, for some reason, fre-

quently seem to present with

pain rather than instability and

can result in a dramatic

improvement in pain after

repair.

Glenohumeral joint

arthritis is the erosion of the

cartilage surface of the ball and

socket joint. The gold stan-

dard operation is a total

shoulder replacement.

A total shoulder

replacement is a major

operation that cannotbe done arthroscopical-

ly, as we introduce a

new artificial joint in

the shoulder. As with

any artificial joint, it

tends to wear down after

10 to 15 years and the

patient may need to

have another surgery.

Especially in patients in their

30s and 40s, we try to put off

introducing an artificial jointfor as long as possible, and try

various injection options.

So there you have it the top

six causes of pain in the shoul-

der. As you can see, most diag-

noses in the shoulder can often

be treated without surgery.

Just because it says

Orthopedic Surgery on the

card, it doesnt mean that com-

ing to our office will mean a

surgical recommendation.Please dont live with shoulder

pain. Let us guide you to get

better.

clients. We secured a line of

credit from our bank. Now

we will begin our marketing

plan.

So what will you need todo first? The first step is to

make sure your own house is

in order. In other words, you

must make sure your business

is strong enough to make an

acquisition and that you have

systems in place. A lot of

small businesses considered

Mom and Pop organizations

dont have a lot of systems in

place. They may do a very

good job managing their busi-ness but in order for the busi-

ness to go the next level a set

of processes and procedures

must be put in place for

human recourses, finances,

inventory, marketing, tech-

nology etc. So, before even

looking at expanding through

acquisition the first step is

make sure your business is in

order and strong enough to

take on an acquisition.

Next identify your targetmarket. Decide if a merger or

acquisition makes sense for

your business. In a merger,

you may become a partner in a

larger firm and roll your

clients under their name. Or it

may be two smaller firms join-

ing to become a larger pres-

ence in a local community. If

you are doing an acquisition

instead, it could be that you

prefer to be the sole owner asopposed to being in a partner-

ship with someone else. In

the case of a merger to a larg-

er firm, you would want to do

your due diligence. You would

want to see a business valua-

tion, a cash flow analysis,

review the current bank state-

ments, tax returns, financial

statements, preferably audited

or reviewed by a CPA firm.

You would also want to spend

time at the new firm to makesure there is a good fit of per-

sonalities and that they

adhere to the same ethics that

your firm does. This step

would also apply to anyone

doing an acquisition once you

have identified a strong

prospect. If you are choosing

the acquisition route, think

about the length of time that

you would need to pay off the

debt that you will incur. Next, identify the volume of

the business that you can

afford to absorb and pay off

Shoppers with an eye on

Monolo Blahnik shoes

or a Louis Vuitton hand-

bag may want to turn to con-

signment stores to realize good

deals on designer duds.

Consignment stores are surg-

ing in popularity all across the

country. Many look the same

as mainstream retailers and aretaking a chunk of their busi-

ness profits, too.

Consignment stores no

longer carry the stigma they

once did. Instead of grandma

prints and last, last, last sea-

sons styles, fashion-forward

shops now offer a selection of

gently used brand names and,

very often designer merchan-

dise to a discerning clientele of

shoppers. A shopper may evenbe able to find new items

straight from a manufacturers

warehouse.

Consignment shop inno-

vators, such as Double Take

(www.edoubletake.com), a

growing chain of consignment

stores on the East Coast, regu-

larly receive merchandise

directly from designers, the

wardrobe departments of tele-

vision shows, and from

socialites and fashionistasacross the country. I never

anticipated such an over-

whelming response. From day

one weve had a steady contin-

uous stream of beautiful

designer merchandise that

comes from people in every

imaginable situation, and

because we have such a high

turnover rate through fast sales

in our stores, weve built up a

base of over 10,000 regularconsignors. Says owner/opera-

tor Marci Kessler, who has

been in the consignment busi-

ness for more than 20 years,

what is the draw to consign-

ment? For shoppers, its the

ability to get very good quality

merchandise at a discounted

price. Typically, consigneditems will sell for 25 to 50 per-

cent of the original retail

value, although each store

varies in their policy. Some

stores will continue to mark

down items the longer theyre

in the shop.

For sellers, consignment

stores offer the opportunity tohave their merchandise on dis-

play and receive a portion of

the profits. Most stores will sell

consigned items and split the

profits at 40 to 60 percent.

This can make it easy for indi-

viduals with closets full of

items that are not in use to

make some extra money.

Many women in the fashion

industry or socialites need to

turn over their wardrobes fre-

quently, offers Kessler. Thesepeople would rather make

some money than have items

sit in their closets.

Consignment stores are

big business. According to the

Association of Resale

Professionals, there are cur-

rently more than 30,000 resale,

consignment and thrift shops

in the United States. The

industry has also experienced a

growth approximately 7 per-cent a year for the past two

years. Plus, with real estate

prices at all-time lows, many

enterprising people are taking

advantage of low rents and

opening up consignment stores

all across the country.

Dont think consignment

stores are glorified yard sales,

either. Most stores will not

accept items that are out-of-

date or too much out of season.

Some shops wont carry mer-chandise that is older than two

years old.

In this economy, many

people are looking to make or

save money. Consignment

stores can offer the best of both

worlds. For those with a large

assortment of items they are

considering for consignment,

call Marci Kessler at 866-678-

6464 or e-mail marci@edou-

bletake.com to discuss how tohave your items considered

and appraised for sale.

sories for a prospective client as part of the companys consignmentconcierge service. To have your items considered, contact Marci at

Posture affects all human

functions, both con-

sciously and uncon-

sciously, from breathing to

thinking. (American Journal

of Pain Management, January,

1994)

Checking your childs

posture is one of the simplest,

yet most important things par-

ents can do to ensure the pres-

ent and future health of their

children. Few parents, how-

ever, are ever given the tools

to adequately assess posture.

The following are some key

points to look for:

1) First have your child

stand facing you, relaxed with

feet in line and slightly apart.

Have them nod their head a

couple of times with eyes

closed, then look straight

ahead.

2) Always start at the feet.

The centre of the pelvis

should be directly in line with

the midpoint between the

feet. Is the pelvis shifted to

the left or to the right? Does

the pelvis appear rotated to

the left or right? Is one side of

the pelvis lower?

3) Now assess the thorax

(chest) in relation to the

pelvis. Is the midpoint of the

chest bone directly above the

midpoint of the pelvis? If not,

which way is it shifted? Is one

shoulder lower than the other?

Does one hand hang lower?

Does the thorax appear rotat-

ed relative to the pelvis?

4) Finally, look at the head.

Draw a mental line from the

midpoint between the eyes to

it vertical or tilted? Is the

5) Now stand close behind

your child. Making sure their

feet are in line, look down: Is

one buttock more forward or

back? Are the two dimples at

the top of the buttocks in line

with the heels, or is one side

back? Looking up, is one

shoulder blade forward or

back?

6) Lastly, stand at the side of

your child about five feet

away. Draw another mental

line, starting at a point about

an inch in front of the big

ankle bone. It should extend

vertically up through the cen-

tre of the hip bone, up

through the centre of the ear.

Is the centre of the hip for-ward of this line (a very com-

mon fault)? Where does the


Matthew D. LoughlinPhysical Therapist, Director of Rehabilitation

Matthew graduated with honors from New YorkUniversity in 1997 and began a satisfying career inorthopedics specializing in spine rehabilitation. Ever

keen to learn and do more for his patients Matthew began

studying diligently for his certification in Orthopedic ManualTherapy. This training exposed him to the concept ofMaitland Australian therapy, the Maitland Concept is referredto as a concept and not as a technique. Emphasis is placednot on the technique of treatment but on a basic philosophy-a thought and decision making process, involving analyticalexamination and assessment on which treatment decisions arebased.

Matthew has also had the thrill of studying with world-renowned therapists Brian Mulligan and David Butler, furtherexpanding his clinical skills into more diverse orthopedic and

nerve injury treatments. Not to be missed, Matthew alsotrained in the McKenzie Diagnosis and treatment of the spine.Matthew believes the combination of this training andeducation in the Australian, New Zealand and Americantreatment strategies have allowed him to provide broaderrange of treatment options thereby helping more patients.

Matthew has been a Director of Physical Therapy for 8years, helping develop spine and sports clinics into leaders intheir respective communities. He is excited and eager to bringhis skills to the Advanced Sports Medicine & PhysicalTherapy Center which specializes in:

over the time limit that you

have established.

At this step you would

also want to know if you

would be keeping the former

owner on as an employee or

simply as an hourly consultant

or not at all. Some companies

choose to keep the former

owner on for a transition

year to allow the clients to

meet the new professional

who will be servicing them.

Its very important to have a

plan for integration.

Next you would need to

secure a deposit to give to the

seller and to set up terms in a

contract that are agreeable to

by both sides. You would

obviously get your attorney

and CPA involved to review

the contract and the books of

the prospect. If possible, pres-

ent a business plan to your

bank to discuss the reason for

the business line of credit. If

your bank is not actively pur-

suing small business loans,

pursue other avenues such as

the SBA or other banks. Once

you have secured a line of

credit, you would be able to

set up terms that both you and

the prospect can live with.

The typical deal would consist

of a deposit to the seller along

with a note. The seller holds a

note and is paid off over an

agreed term including inter-

est.

Some firms begin the

acquisition phase because an

opportunity arises to acquire a

new firm. Others begin with

the intent to find a prospect.

Once you know your target

market, target price and have

secured the money for your

deposit, you can begin to mar-

ket for a prospect. Businesses

can spread the word through

their local chamber of com-

merce and other networking

partners of the local newspa-

pers. This would be appropri-

ate if you are looking to keep

your growth to a local com-

munity as opposed to growth

on a state to state or interna-

tional basis. If this is your

goal, an ad in the Wall Street

Journal or inclusion on Craigs

List or Social Networking

might be a better route. If you

are willing to cold call or send

a mailer, some businesses use

Dun and Bradstreet or other

lists to narrow down prospects

by the demographics obtained

by the lists. It is also best to

market during your slower sea-

son.

Once you have prospects

interested in your firm, the

next step is determining

which prospective firm best

suits your businesses need for

future growth. Using our firm

as an example, acquiring a

firm with a ratio of 60/40 busi-

ness clients to personal clients

would help us with our year

round business as opposed to

our seasonal business during

tax season. This might give

the edge to a firm that meets

those demographics over a

firm that was largely only

individual clients. You would

narrow down your search by

the ones who are open to your

payment plan and willing to

help with the transition.

If this seems like a lot of

work, consider the benefits.

Growth by acquisition can

help you achieve your goals

Does your dogs or cats

ears have an odor?

Are they scratching

or shaking their head? Is there

dirt-like material in the ears?

What could it be? What

should I do? This could be an

ear infection and you should

seek medical assistance from

your veterinarian before the

condition worsens and

becomes painful. Ear infec-

tions are very common. Based

on data from pet insurance

companies, ear infections are

a top ten reason for dogs and

cats to visit their veterinarian.

Dogs and cats can have

ear infections or inflammation

of the ear canal for many dif-

ferent reasons such as allergies

(seasonal/environmental or

food allergies ), parasites like

ear mites , foreign bodies like

plant awns, endocrine diseases

such as an underactive thy-

roid, your pets ear anatomy

like excess hair or moisture,

hereditary or immune condi-

tions, and tumors.

Pets with allergies, either

to food or something they

inhale, often have ear prob-

lems. Allergies are typically

the most common cause of ear

infections that veterinarians

see. Sometimes these ear

problems may

be the first sign

of an allergy.

The inflamma-

tion from aller-

gies changes the

envi ronment

within the ear,

which leads to

secondary infec-

tions with bac-

teria or yeast. If

we just treat the

infection, we

are not getting

to the root of

the problem. We need to treat

the allergies too with diet tri-

als, immunotherapy or med-

ication.

Ear mites are a more

common cause of ear prob-

lems in cats than in dogs. The

resultant itching can be

intense and may be present

elsewhere on the body not just

the ears. When ear discharge

is seen, many people will

assume that their pets ear

infection is due to ear mites.

Ear mites discharge has a dis-

tinctive black coffee-ground

appearance whereas infectious

discharge is moister and

ranges from brown to yellow.

Other causes of ear infec-

tions include foreign bodies,

most notably plant awns.

They can cause irritation,

your pet scratches, and before

you know it we have an ear

infection. Certain endocrine

diseases can cause skin and ear

problems such as hypothy-

roidism and Cushings disease.

Certain dog breeds with

heavy, floppy ears such as

Cocker Spaniels may be pre-

disposed due to

the excess mois-

ture that builds

up in their ears.

B e c a u s e

there are many

potential causes

of ear problems,

the next step is

to visit your vet-

erinarian for a

diagnosis. Your

veterinarian will

use an otoscope

to look down

into the ear

canal. Swabs of the ear can be

taken (called an ear cytology),

and examined for bacteria,

yeast, and mites. If a bacterial

infection does not respond to

the first antibiotic therapy, a

culture and sensitivity may

need to be performed. A thor-

ough history and physical

exam may help determine if

this could be a hormonal,

allergic, or hereditary

problem and further

diagnostic testing

would be needed.

It is important to

visit your veterinarian

promptly for a diagno-

sis and treatment if

you suspect an ear infection. If

left unattended they can

become very painful, lead to

permanently narrow canals or

an ear hematoma. Ear

hematomas most commonly

occur when a dog or cat

shakes its head from an ear

infection, the ear hits the top

of their head, a blood vessel in

the ear ruptures and the loose

space under the skin will fill

up with blood. These will

have a noticeably swollen,

fluid-filled ear that is extreme-

ly painful to the touch. The

treatment of choice for ear

hematomas is surgery.

The key to healthy ears is

early treatment and preven-

tion. Check your pets ears

weekly. A slight amount of

waxy buildup may be present

in normal ears. If your dog

swims a lot, has pendulous

ears, or a history of ear disease,

routine cleaning may be rec-

ommended. Excess hair

around the ear can be clipped

by your groomer to allow more

air flow. Its also important to

treat any underlying condi-

tion, like allergies; otherwise

the condition will likely recur.

because thats where the flower

started before the pumpkin

formed.

Most varieties of pump-

kins are edible, but some taste

better than others. Once

pumpkins turn orange they can

be eaten. People bake the meat

into pies, soups and stews. It

can also be used in breads and

cakes. Pumpkin puree can

replace the oil in cake recipes

much in the same way apple-

sauce can. Adding pumpkin to

recipes provides a healthy way

to increase nutritional value.

There are many interest-

ing pieces of trivia regarding

pumpkins. Here are some

things to ponder.

Pumpkins were once believed

to eliminate freckles and were

also used as a remedy for snake

bites.

In 2007, people in Boston

earned the world record for the

most lit pumpkins with 30,128

twinkling jack-o-lanterns.

Thousands of people partici-

pate in pumpkin chucking, an

event where air cannons pro-

pel pumpkins thousands of

feet. Each year people compete

to see who can launch a pump-

kin the farthest.

On September 25, 2010, peo-

ple in New Bremen, Ohio,

broke their own record when

they baked a 3,699 pound

pumpkin, surpassing their prior

record of 2,020 pounds.

Pumpkins are a seasonal

delight too many come the fall.

But in addition to being deli-

cious, theyre also interesting.

Now that school is in

full swing, most stu-

dents are carrying

backpacks that are much too

heavy for them causing delete-

rious effects to the body.

Among school aged children,

there has been a rise in the

incidence of back pack related

pain and stiffness affecting the

neck, shoulders, back and

chest. Backpacks also factor

into the increase in non-trau-

matic back pain in children

under the age of 18.

School aged children are

very susceptible to back pack

related back pain since they

are likely to carry loads that are

too heavy in proportion to

their body weight. Medical

professionals recommend that

a childs backpack should be no

heavier than 15% of his or her

body weight. Unfor-tunately it

is not uncommon for a 90

pound child to be carrying a 30

pound backpack, a third of his

or her body weight.

Backpacks, when worn

correctly, cause less stress on

the body than other book bags.

Backpacks allow for a more

even weight distribution (as

long as both shoulder straps are

used) than shoulder bags or

purses that have the weight on

one side of the body. Backpack

related injuries are due to the

misuse of backpacks. Some

symptoms associated with

backpack misuse are shoulder,

neck, and lower back pain,

muscle spasm and numbness

and tingling in the hands and

fingers.

To avoid risk of injury and

postural problems, follow these

backpack tips:

Scale down the contents

to the essentials. The child

should leave as many heavy

books in the locker as possible

and pack only the most neces-

sary books. Try to bring home

handouts and lighter work-

books.

Pack appropriately. The

heaviest books should be

placed in the center of the

back closest to the spine.

When the heaviest books are

placed on the side or the outer-

most compartment of the

backpack, this results in

uneven weight bearing and

encourages back arching caus-

ing subsequent back pain.

Lighten the load. The

backpack should weigh no

more than 15% of your childs

body weight, 10% is ideal. Too

much weight will cause your

child to walk bent forward to

support the weight on the

back.

Wear the pack correctly.

The backpack should be cen-

tered 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 bend-

ing the knees and stand up

using the legs.

Buy the best backpack.

Purchase a pack with multi-

ple compartments in order to

place the heaviest books in

the compartment closest to

the body. Buy a pack with

wide padded shoulder straps.

If your child is complaining

of back pain from a backpack

use a book-carrier on wheels

instead. Also, call your pedi-

atric physical therapist to

assess any adverse affects

from backpack use.

much quicker than relying

solely on referrals and regular

channels of marketing. With

todays economy there are also

opportunities to buy business-

es at discounted prices.

To recap, if you are look-

ing to grow or expand your

business:

Have systems set up to run

your business including docu-

mented processes and proce-

dures. In other words FIRST

get your house in order before

you attempt an acquisition.

Make sure you have enough

Capital to make an acquisi-

tion. The number one reason

businesses fail is because of

lack of capital.

Identify if you are interested

in a merger or acquisition

Identify your target market,

size and cost of the business

you wish to merge with or

acquire.

If acquisition, identify if you

would buy the business out-

right or retain some of the tal-

ent.

Set terms of the deal you

would be willing to make and

secure a line of credit if neces-

sary.

Market for prospects through

a workable marketing plan

during your off season.

Narrow down your prospects,

do your due diligence, and

select the prospect that best

fits your firms growth plan.

Utilize your attorney and

CPA to solidify the deal with

contracts and begin the transi-

tion prior to your busy season.

Have an integration plan for

how you will merge the new

business with your existing

company.

The solution can be a

win-win for younger compa-

nies looking to grow and own-

ers of companies looking for

an exit strategy. It is also help-

ful for owners who may be

looking to join a larger firm as

in the example of a merger

before retiring. There are

agencies that will help you

find prospects for a merger and

acquisition, however, be pre-

pared to pay an upfront cost of,

at least, 10 per cent or higher

in that case. You will be able to

save that fee with a little leg

work of your own.

As for our example, we

are looking to grow our busi-

ness! We are in the process of

looking for an acquisition our-

selves.

We wish all local busi-

nesses great growth in these

trying times and are willing to

discuss tax planning initiatives

at our office during this critical

time of the year. Please

remember that the deadline

for timely filing this year with

extensions due to the flood is

Question:Now that the kids are back to school and

playing sports, what kind of eye protection

should they have?

Answer: 90% of serious eye injuries are

preventable through the use of protective

eyewear. Regular eyeglasses do not offer

proper eye protection.

Eric Shnayder, MD is a Board Certified Ophthalmologist who treats a wide variety of eye disorders. After graduating summa cum laudefrom Temple University, he received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the Medical College of Pennsylvania. The doctor completed his

Ophthalmology residency at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Aside from performing regular eye exams, Dr.Shnayder is proficient in cataract & laser surgery, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, retinal disease and childrens eye problems.

He practices at 1426 Route 23 North in Butler and can be reached at 973-838-7722.

Question:Are there useful supplements for glaucoma or

are they are waste of money?

Answer: Generally, antioxidants are protective

for the eye. Good scientific studies confirm that

certain supplements help prevent cataracts and

some stages of macular degeneration. A well-

balanced diet that includes several servings of

leafy green vegetables is recommended foreveryone.

F

or kids, few holidays are

more anticipated than

Halloween. The chance

to dress up in costume and

patrol the neighborhood with

friends while collecting treats

is the highlight of many a

childs autumn.

For parents, anticipation

is replaced by anxiety. While

kids are out trick-or-treating,

parents may be home or at

work hoping their kids are

safe and sound. Because

Halloween is so popular

among kids, its hard for par-

ents to forbid trick-or-treat-

ing. But parents should

instruct kids on the following

tips to ensure this Halloween

is as safe as it is fun.

Strangers homes are off lim-

its. Make sure kids know they

should never enter the home

of a stranger, no matter how

friendly or welcoming that

stranger may seem.

Theres no going it alone.

Kids should not be permitted

to go out alone. When trick-

or-treating, kids should always

be accompanied not only by

their friends, but there mustbe at least one adult chaper-

one present at all times.

Parents should get together

several weeks before

Halloween to determine who

will chaperone, where kids

will be trick-or-treating and

during what hours.

Stay close to home. Kids

should stay in their own

neighborhood and only visit

homes of neighbors they

know. Advise kids to steer

clear of homes whose doors

are hidden from street view.

Chaperones should accompa-

ny kids to the front door if vis-ibility from the street is poor.

Choose safe costumes. Kids

should wear costumes made of

light colored material. If a

child insists on a favorite cos-

tume that uses largely dark

material, attach reflective

tape to the costume so your

favorite reveler is easily visi-

ble to motorists during twi-

light and nighttime hours

when its not always easy fordrivers to see.

No toy guns. Toy guns are

just asking for trouble, as

many of todays replicas are

easily confused with the real

thing. Play it safe and choose

costumes that arent acces-

sorized with toy guns.

Bring a flashlight along.

Night falls quickly in late

October, so kids and chaper-

ones alike should carry a flash-light to improve their visibili-

ty and make them more visi-

ble to passing motorists.

Stick to the sidewalks. Trick-

or-treaters should stick to the

sidewalks and always cross the

street at corners. Dont walk

in the street, and never walk

between parked cars when

crossing the street, as its espe-

cially difficult for motorists to

anticipate pedestrians walking

or running from behind

parked cars into the street.

Be wary of masks. Many

masks restrict a childs vision,

so look for one that providessufficient visibility. If a childs

favorite mask is low on visibil-

ity, make children agree to

remove their mask when

crossing the street.

Parents understandably

worry when kids go trick-or-

treating. But a few simple safe-

ty lessons shared with chil-

dren can ensure everyone gets

home safe.

Theres a vampire on

the loose, and its not

Edward Cullen or one

of the other Twilight gang.

The trouble is this vampire

doesnt only lurk at night. Its

continually sucking up your

money and affecting the envi-

ronment. But there is a way to

stop it without sunlight, garlic

or wooden stakes. All you may

have to do is pull the plug.

Vampire power, also

known by another ghoulish

name phantom load is

the power many plugged-in

devices use even when theyre

in the off position. Chances

are if the plug is warm, its

sucking electricity, wasting

energy and costing you

money.

The Energy Information

Administration reports that in

the United States alone, vam-

pire power costs individuals

more than $3 billion a year.

While one cell phone charger

does not an energy crisis

make, multiply all of the

microwaves, televisions, alarm

clocks, A/C adaptors, etc. that

are plugged in throughout

homes across the world, and

one can quickly see how vam-

pire power can do its share of

damage. Its estimated that

many electrical devices use

more energy and cost con-

sumers more in the hours

theyre not being used simply

from vampire power drain.

Vampire power varies in

its level of destruction. Some

devices, such as chargers, have

been nicknamed wall warts

because they can waste up to

50 percent of power since

theyre always plugged in.

They continually provide a

charge even if there is nodevice. Other devices, such as

electric coffee pots or

microwaves use vampire

power to keep clocks working

or to illuminate digital dis-

plays. Refrigerators require

monitoring of internal tem-

perature to know when to

kick the motor into gear.

Televisions use phantom load

to be ready on a moments

notice to recognize a remotecontrol signal. Other devices

use the energy to make sure

they dont have to warm up

before use; certain parts of the

device are on all of the time.

of vampire power prolifera-

tion. As long as new

technological devices

come on the market,

the chance for the

vampire to sink its

teeth into the electrical

supply continues. All

of these devices are

known vampires: TVs,

VCRs, DVD players,answering machines,

MP3 players, cell

phones, stereos, lap-

tops, and desktops. Also, look

out for anything with a

remote, anything with a

charger or anything with a

clock display.

Fight Vampire Power Pests

1. Reduce the demand for ener-

gy. Gadgets are certainly fun,

but think about if you need a

multitude of these devices.

2. Choose Energy Star-quali-

fied electronics and appliances,

which generally use less power.

3. Seek out the real off

switch. Some devices have a

soft power switch on the front

that simply powers down the

device. The real off switch

may be located in the back.

4. When in doubt, simply

unplug it from the outlet.

5. Use a power strip.

Plug all of your devices

into one power strip

and turn off the power

strip when not in use.

This provides less has-

sle than juggling plugs

and outlets.

6. Invest in a smart

strip, which measurespower usage of com-

puters and peripherals.

Therefore, when you

shut down the computer, the

peripherals get powered down,

too.

7. Use a Kill-A-Watt device.

It tells you how much power an

electronic is using when on or

off. Itll help you identify the

biggest power drains.

For centuries people have

used wood floors in their

homes to add warmth,

elegance and charm.

Hardwood floors never go out

of fashion and can add real

value to your home. But until

now some rooms, such as bath-

rooms and basements, were not

considered good fits for wood

floors because of humidity con-

cerns.

Thats because wood

swells like a sponge when it

absorbs moisture and contracts

as it dries out, causing dimen-

sional variations in wood mate-

rials.

A simple way to prevent

dimensional variations in wood

is to control air temperature

and relative humidity using a

humidifier or an air exchanger.

However, in some situations,

such as in bathrooms and base-

ments, this may be hard to

achieve and floorboards will

contract and expand. The solu-

tion for homeowners looking

for wood flooring in these

rooms is a product with

enhanced dimensional stability

that is less susceptible to chang-

ing conditions engineered

wood flooring.

According to MichelCollin, Marketing Director at

Mercier Wood Flooring, a lead-

ing manufacturer of quality

wood flooring, engineered

flooring is made of plywood

with a thin hardwood surface

layer glued on top. Each layer
