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.

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

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

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!

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

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-

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.

with tight, closed lips,

wishing for the day to

open up? Well, wait no

longer. At Pompton

Salch D.M.D and

Ryan Zlotkowski D.M.D. are

committed to helping you

ous injury, a malformed bite, or

crooked teeth, cosmetic den-

tistry has become an essential

and a fast growing branch of

dental procedures can be as

basic as whitening or as

advanced as implants or the

replacement of lost gum tissue.

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.

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

Brainy-Acts summer grad-

uate! Make your child a

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.

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

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

The Beauty of Natural Stone

Natural Stone offers beauty, easy care anddurability. Granite is often found in upscaleand sophisticated residences, palaces andhotels throughout the world due to its textureand luster.

Natural stone provides the look and feel of

elegance through a quality and strength thatwill never be reached by other materials.

Next to diamonds, granite is the strongeststone in the world. So, like diamonds, graniteis forever!

In natural hard surfaces like granite, a certainamount of movement or grain is usuallyexpected. Many people find this flow andblending of colors to be the most compellingreason for using genuine stone.

Why is Natural Stone the right choice?

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

How to conserve

energy around the house

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

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 roll with green onions as

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.

Blossom? Ill tell you some-

thing, after the meal I had, I

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.
