Boston Louis Jewelers is

happy to announce its

exciting addition of the

Nomination line of jewelry.

Nomination bracelets were very

popular several years back

and since then have

evolved into a veryextensive silver fashion

jewelry collection with

styles that are right in

line with todays top

designers.

All of the pieces are

crafted in Italy, renowned

for some of the best-made

jewelry in the world, and

most are in the very

affordable $100 to $300

range. An excellent fea-ture of high-end Italian

silver jewelry is that it is

treated with a metal from

the platinum family called

Rhodium. Rhodium treating not

only gives silver jewelry the beau-

tiful clean look of platinum or

white gold, it more importantly

keeps silver from tarnishing.

Boston Louis Jewelers is

extensively carrying theNomination Romantica suite

just in time for Valentines Day.

The Romantica suite consists of

beautiful modern-styled sterling

silver necklaces, bracelets and

earrings in filigree heart shapes

that are accented with 18K rose

gold overlay details.

Boston Louis is also carrying

Nominations Sorrento and

Sofia suites. The Sorrento fea-

tures geometric circles with sun,cloud or heart-shaped cut-though

patterns, whereas the Sofia suite

uses perfectly cut pastel-colored

semi-precious gems such as laven-

der and green amethyst, light blue

topaz, smokey, citrine, and

green/gold quartz complimented

by brilliant white cubic zirconias.

All are gorgeous, and all are pret-

ty enough to be worn with formal

attire, but are designed foreveryday.

The wonderful thing about

this Nomination line is that with

many matching earring, pendant

and bracelet sets available, you

can add to your jewelry wardrobe

with each special occasion. Any

piece in this stunning line is sure

to please that special someone in

your life!

Happily crafting, repairing, pur-chasing and appraising jewelry in

years!

Whether you are still suffer-

As you assemble the

paperwork youll need

to file your 2012 tax

return, take a minute to

review some last-minute

moves you could make to cut

last years tax bill. Also, pay

attention to deductions you

shouldnt overlook. Heres a

quick checklist.

The American Taxpayer

Relief Act, signed into law onJan. 2, 2013, has some tax-

savers for 2012. The law

restored the following tax

breaks for 2012 through 2013:

The optional deduction for

state and local sales taxes in

lieu of deducting state and

local income taxes.

The above-the-line deduc-

tion for up to $4,000 for qual-

ified tuition and related

expenses.

The above-the-line deduc-

tion for up to $250 of class-room supplies purchased by

teachers.

The exclusion from income

for cancellation of mortgage

debt of up to $2 million on a

principal residence.

The deduction for mortgage

insurance premiums.

The tax credit for making

energy-saving home improve-

ments.

If youre in business, the

new law included some tax

breaks you shouldnt overlook.The first-year expensing op-

tion for equipment purchases

in 2012 was increased to

$500,000, with a $2,000,000

total limit. The research tax

credit, the work opportunity

credit, and the 15-year recov-

ery period for qualified lease-

hold and retail improvements

and qualified restaurant prop-

erty were all made available

for 2012.If you qualify, you have

until April 15 to make a

deductible 2012 IRA contri-

bution. The maximum 2012

contribution is $5,000 if

youre under age 50 and

$6,000 if youre 50 or older.

The $2,500 deduction

for student loan interest is

still available for 2012 and

can be taken even if you

dont itemize deductions on

your return.

The tax law gets more

complicated every time Con-

gress passes another bill, butdont let your tax bill

creep higher than necessary

through oversight. Call our

office if you want details on

any of these or other ways to

cut your 2012 tax bill.

Unfortunately, the ob-

stacles to securing a

successful portfolio are

overwhelming. In fact, some

people believe there are more

reasons for financial failurethan success. These include:

dividend income tax, ordinary

income tax, state income tax,

capital gains tax, commissions,

management fees, manager/

advisor or self-made investment

mistakes, inflation, changes in

governmental policies or gov-

ernment grid lock (aka political

risk), currency risk, stock mar-

ket crashes and corrections,

bond selection risks (such asissuer default or downgrades),

abys-mal anemic interest rates

on savings vehicles, and virtual-

ly no interest on cash at all!

What is the poor con-

sumer/saver/investor/employ-

ee/self-employed/retiree to do

or have to look forward to and

how will they accumulate

enough capital against this vast

array of obstacles? How will

they be able to secure an

income necessary to survive

and prosper during their retire-

ment years? How can they

assure a successful journey into

retirement and the peace of

mind of a secured continual

income stream from their port-

folio once they make the finalannouncement: Ive worked

my last today; Im now retired!

Are these good questions?

Dont the facts speak loudly for

themselves? Are you confident,

complacent or contrite about

your financial future? Would

you like to guarantee your

results or know in advance the

least you can accomplish in

portfolio accumulation and

minimum monthly or annualincome that would be sustain-

able for the rest of your life,

and/or your spouses lifetime,

without it reducing or it coming

to an end?

Think about this for a

moment: from 1992 through

2011, according to Blackrock,

the 20-year annualized growth

rate of oil was 8.6 percent,

stocks performed 7.8 percent,

and bonds rose at an annualized

rate of 6.5 percent. Over the

course of these years, the annu-

alized rate of inflation was 2.5

percent and homes increased

2.3 percent per year. However,

the average investor saw his

portfolio grow by an annual rate

of just 2.1 percent, under-per-

forming inflation!

Let me ask again. If you

could, would you design a

guarantee right now, in

advance, of the income your

portfolio would pay you as a

lifetime income beginning five

years from now, 10 years from

now or even 20 years in your

future? Would you like to guar-

antee the minimum income

growth in your portfolio, for up

to 20 years straight, knowing

that great market perform-

ance, above the baseline guar-

antee, would make that

income even greater? I bet you

would sleep better with the

knowledge that negative mar-

kets would never reduce your

income, yet positive perform-

ance certainly would acceler-

ate and enhance it!

If you enjoyed the music

heard on Family Radio, but

disagree with the apocalypticteaching, we invite you

to tune in to Redeemer

Despite incredible ad-

vances in dentistry

over the past 30

years, dentists face a new

challenge to their success inmanaging and treating your

bacteria-related oral health

problems: Stress! Doctors

consider stress to be a cause

(or at least factor) of not

only cardiovascular, autoim-

mune and mental diseases,

but also dental issues. While

stress-related dental prob-

lems were known to ancient

societies thousands of years

ago, recent upturns in stresslevels are making these oral

health issues much more

common. Stress may affect

dental health in different

ways:

IMMUNITY: Stress can

reduce the bodys immunity

to disease by changing the

production of the normal

inner steroid from the

suprarenal glands. This pro-duces a malfunction in our

cells. They are unable to oust

foreign bodies like bacteria

when they invade the body.

Since immune cells are the

bodys first line of defense,

this is not good. As a result,

gingivitis and gum disease arelikely to develop among

stressed individuals. Forms of

tooth decay are also com-

monly reported in stressed

patients.

GRINDING AND

CLENCHING: Most grind-

ing and clenching occursduring sleep, so a large per-

centage of grinders and

clenchers dont even realize

they are doing it. Grinding

and clenching increase the

frequency of contact between

the upper and lower teeth,

especially at night. Whileupper and lower teeth are

typically in contact 20-30

minutes each day, those who

clench and grind make

upper-lower contact several

hours a day. While this habit,

called buxism, may be

annoying, it may also lead to

dental health issues such as:

HEADACHES: Tenderness,

fatigue and spasm in the mus-

cles of the face and neck,

which may result in head-

aches.

TMJ: Damage to the tem-poromandibular joint in

front of the ear. TMJ may

cause minor problems like

clicking when opening and

closing the mouth, or more

severely, can prevent the

lower jaw from functioning

properly.

DISTORTION: If clench-

ing and grinding become

chronic, the cheek musclesmay enlarge or swell, which

can result in facial distortion.

TEETH FILING AND

CAVITIES: Not only may

grinding and clenching cause

teeth to be filed down;

smooth, V-shaped cavities

may develop, resulting in

tooth sensitivity.

FRACTURES: Damage tothe gums causes teeth to

move more freely and ulti-

mately can cause tooth frac-

tures. Additionally, dental

restorations like crowns and

bridges are at risk of fracture.

How do you treat grind-

ing and clenching? Depend-

ing on the severity of the

case, Dr. Brusco may offer

you options such as night-

mouth guards, muscle relax-ants, mouth rehabilitation,

orthodontics, bite adjust-

ment, muscle exercises and

medications.

Great movies for Valentines Day

Couples celebrate Val-

entines Day in a

variety of ways.

Some may jet off to a roman-

tic locale while others might

enjoy a night out on the

town at a nearby restaurant.

Some couples feel its more

romantic to stay in for

Valentines Day, preferring

some quality time together as

they enjoy a good meal and a

favorite film in the comforts

of home. Those who want a

romantic movie to set the

mood might want to consider

the following options.

Somewhere in Time

(1980): Starring Christopher

Reeve, this drama surrounds

a Chicago playwright who

meets an old woman on the

opening night of one of his

plays. The woman presses a

gold pocket watch into his

hand before begging the

young playwright to return to

her. Years later, the play-

wright is staying at a hotel

and becomes taken with a

young woman in a photo-

graph, only to learn that the

young woman is the same

mysterious older woman who

visited on opening night all

those years ago.

West Side Story (1961):

One of Hollywoods many

tales of forbidden love, this

classic won Best Picture after

being adapted for the big

screen. The score alone is

enough for film aficionados,

but those who also want a

story wont be disappointed

by this musical tale of two

youngsters who fall in love

despite being from rival New

York City gangs.

The Philadelphia Story

(1940): Featuring screen leg-

ends Cary Grant, Katharine

Hepburn and James Stewart,

the movie focuses on the

complications that arise as a

socialite prepares to marry.

Cary Grant plays the ex-hus-

Are you one of the

many consumers who

were advised to buy a

hearing aide by your doctor,

spouse, family member or

friend? Is it sitting in the very

expensive case it came in,

unused because it just doesnt

work well? Maybe others

should just speak louder! You

will find that you are not alone.

There are many adults frustrat-

ed with hearing changes and

the limitations that it may

place on them. Dinners out at a

popular restaurant or large fam-

ily events may not be as enjoy-

able if you have difficulty par-

ticipating in the conversation.

Adult aural rehabilitation

services focus on adjusting to

your specific hearing loss. Not

all hearing loss is the same and

is sometimes mistaken for

memory loss. An aural rehabil-

itation program assists in mak-

ing the best use of your individ-

ual hearing aids, exploring

assistive devices and taking

charge of your communication.

It is important to understand

your specific hearing loss. A

better understanding of your

hearing loss will help you gain

new insights as to why you

think people are mumbling,

why you have difficulty with

voices and background noise,

and others specific questions.

Even if you don t have

hearing aids but have a hearing

loss, aural rehabilitation servic-

es can give you strategies to

improve listening and commu-

nication effectiveness. If you do

have new hearing aids, through

training and practice, you will

learn new listening habits

and communication strategies.

Audiologic rehabilitation pro-

vides listening strategies that

can improve communication.

You are not alone with a

hearing loss. Aural rehab can

give you the opportunity to

learn from professionals effec-

tive strategies on how to

handle traveling, meetings,

appointments, going to the

hospital, telephone conversa-

tions, hearing in theaters, and

difficult family members or

work associates. Aural rehabili-

tation will not sell you new

hearing, but it will introduce

you to strategies and tips that

can improve understanding

and hearing in everyday life

and benefit from an improved

quality of life!

Catherine Gallo is a

speech and language patholo-

gist at Cedar Crest and runs the

aural therapy program. For

more information about our

aural rehabilitation program, or

Valentines Day is

upon us. This is a

day to celebrate our

loved ones and show them we

care. We also have to take

care of our four-legged loved

ones, as some Valentines Day

gifts and ideas may be haz-

ardous to our pets.

The most obvious warn-

ing is: Dont let your pets eat

chocolate. Chocolate is one

of the traditional gifts on

Valentines Day but can be

very dangerous to pets, even

life threatening. The toxic

compounds in chocolate

are methylxanthines, mainly

theobromine and, less impor-

tantly, caffeine. The amounts

of theobromine and caffeine

vary with the type of choco-

late. For instance, unsweet-

ened (Bakers) chocolate con-

tains 8 to 10 times the

amount of theobromine as

milk chocolate. This is a very

common toxicity in dogs and

seen less in cats just by nature

of their eating habits.

Clinical signs of choc-

olate toxicity usually occur

within six to 12 hours

of ingestion. Theobromine

affects the body as a central

nervous system stimulant,

cardiovascular stimulant,

increases blood pressure and

nausea. Therefore, common

signs of chocolate toxicity

are: vomiting, diarrhea,

hyperactivity, tremors, sei-

zures, fast heart rate and, in

severe cases, death. If your

pet ingests chocolate, contact

your veterinarian or poison

control immediately for treat-

ment. Also, knowing the type

and quantity of chocolate

ingested is helpful.

Another potential haz-

ard for pets on this sweet

holiday is any sugar-free gum

or candy. They commonly

contain the sugar substitute

xylitol. Signs of xylitol toxici-

ty can be seen as quickly as 30

minutes and causes a sudden

drop in the bodys blood sugar

(hypoglycemia). This may

result in weakness, depres-

sion, loss of coordination,

seizures, coma and even liver

failure. Treatment should be

initiated immediately if inges-

tion occurs.

Some holiday flowers,

though they are romantic,

can be toxic for your pet. The

biggest culprits are lilies.

They are highly toxic to cats,

so make sure your cats cant

get near them, or choose a

different variety of flower but

not tulips (the bulbs are

the most toxic). Amaryllis,

daisies, chrysanthemums or

any flowers with thorns may

be potentially dangerous

flowers.

Leftover gift-

wrapping or decora-

tions are enticing

for curious cats.

Make sure all rib-

bons, bows and

other wrapping

are out of your

pets reach and

cleaned up. Cats

especially like

chewing on strings or rib-

bons which can cause chok-

ing or worse, an obstruction

in the intestines that could

require emergency surgery.

Candles are also a nice

touch on Valentines Day

but not to paws and fur.

Dont leave candles unat-

tended, as pets can easily

be burned or the candles

could be knocked over, caus-

ing a fire.

One last warning is not

to give pets as gifts. Puppies

and kittens are very cute and

cuddly but owning a pet is a

big undertaking. Purchasing a

pet should be done in a

responsible way and only after

a lot of research. If youre

ready, you should consider

adopting a pet from your local

shelter. These steps can be

done together and are roman-

tic and rewarding.

Have a sweet and safe

Valentines Day!

made a life-saving

fashion statement on

Friday, February 1.

Along with the rest

of the country, the bank was

redder than ever to help the

American Heart Assoc-iation

bring attention to the No. 1

killer of American females:

heart disease. According to the

AHA, cardiovascular diseases

such as heart disease and stroke

claim the lives of nearly

419,000 women every year.

This year, Lincoln Park

Savings Bank employees each

donated $5 to the American

Heart Associations Go Red for

Women and dressed down,

wearing red. Money raised will

benefit research, education and

programs to help reduce the

incidence of heart disease and

stroke in women.

Thanks to National Wear

Red Day for Women and the

American Heart Associations

Go Red for Women move-

ment, 627,000 womens lives

have been saved from heart dis-

ease and stroke since 2004.

Conventional wisdom

has long intimated

that girls are more

adept at language arts and

reading than boys of the same

age. A recent study indicates

there may be some merit to

the assumption that boys tend

to lag behind girls in reading.

In order to bolster interest in

books and reading compre-

hension, parents and educa-

tors can look to many success-

ful literary series that tend to

draw the attention of boys.

Boys and reading

A 2010 study by the

Center on Education Policy

that looked at trends begin-

ning from 2002 to 2008 found

boys have been lagging

behind girls on standardized

reading tests in all 50 states.

According to Jack Jennings,

president of the Center on

Education Policy, We found

no state in which boys did not

lag behind girls in reading at

the elementary level, the mid-

dle school level and the high

school level. So its pretty

clear: Boys are not doing as

well as girls in reading.

There are many theories

as to why boys seem to eschew

reading for other things. Some

say that boys in general are

always on the defensive, and

reading which often calls

to mind emotion and vulnera-

bility is not something that

boys would like to admit to

doing. Furthermore, schools

heavily push classics full of

fictional characters as the

mainstay of literary curricula.

However, research points out

that boys tend to gravitate

toward nonfiction. Others

argue that boys do not have

enough male literary role

models. The majority of adults

involved in shaping boys

interest in reading are women,

and boys might not view pick-

ing up a good book as a mascu-

line activity.

Another theory as to

why girls perform better on

standardized reading tests

revolves around brain func-

tion. Girls brains tend to be

more verbally oriented, which

can make reading skills easier.

Boys are more visually orient-

ed. It stands to reason that

boys are more physically rest-

less than girls as well. Sitting

for long periods of time read-

ing can be challenging, even

for an otherwise well-behaved

male student. This was discov-

ered as early as 1986 in an

analysis of more than 100

studies by psychologist

Warren Eaton and his col-

leagues at the University of

Manitoba in Canada. The

findings revealed that the

average boy is more active

than about 69 percent of girls.

Choosing reading materials

Finding reading material

to which boys will relate can

be challenging. There is no

blanket approach to finding

the right books. Boys may

need to be approached indi-

vidually to find subject matter

that will interest them and

take them out of their comfort

zones. Should schoolmates be

view-ed reading frequently, it

may help other boys surpass

their own reading fears and

hurdles.

Here are some titles boys can

explore:

2095 by Adam McCauley:

Children on a field trip to

New Yorks Museum of

Natural History travel one

hundred years into the future.

Adventures of Captain

Underpants by Dav Pilkey:

Fourth grade boys get into

trouble with their principal

and decide to hypnotize him

into the superhero Captain

Underpants.

Babe & Me: A Baseball

Card Adventure by Dan

Gutman: Main character Joe

wants to discover the legend

of Babe Ruth and his home

run predictions.

The Beast in Ms. Rooneys

Room by Patricia Reilly Giff:

Ms. Paris, the reading teacher,

helps Richard get serious

about reading and win a con-

test for best class.

Encyclopedia Brown series,

by Donald Sobol: Readers solve

the cases and explore adven-

tures through the stories.

Hatchet by Gary Paulsen:

A boy must learn to live in the

wild alone after the plane he

was traveling in with his

father crashes.

Lunch Money by Andrew

Clements: Greg is a sixth-

grader who is good with

money. He begins creating

and selling comic books at

lunch until a rival cuts into

his business.

Rufus and Magic Run

Amok by Marilyn Levinson:

Rufus discovers he has magi-

cal powers, but this special tal-

ent isnt what he expected.

Pros and cons to including an island in a kitchen redesign

Homeowners planning

a kitchen remodel are

no doubt considering

whether to include a kitchen

island in the new design. When

the space allows, an island can

be a fine way to enhance the

look of a kitchen and impart an

upscale appeal.

Interest in kitchen islands has

grown steadily for the past sev-

eral decades. Introduced in the

1970s, islands became a popu-

lar place for guests to congre-

gate and provided extra count-

er space for meal preparation

and entertaining. The subur-

ban migration led to bigger

homes with larger kitchens.

Through the 1980s and 1990s,

homes grew even larger, and

islands became a popular fea-

ture of kitchens across the

country.

The increase in food-based

programming on television has

also contributed to the popular-

ity of kitchen islands. As more

people dabble with preparing

their own gourmet meals,

kitchen islands have become

more convenient.

Although there are many

benefits to an island in the

kitchen, there are also some

disadvantages to kitchen

islands. Weighing all the

options can help homeowners

design a kitchen layout that is

functional, affordable and prac-

tical for the space they have.

PROS

Arguably the most significant

advantage to having a kitchen

island is the added space it pro-

vides. Many times islands are

built with cabinetry that

matches the rest of the kitchen

design, and those cabinets pro-

vide storage space for pots, pans

and other kitchen tools. Islands

may double the storage space

available in the kitchen.

Kitchen islands are also

advantageous when preparing

meals. Kitchen counter space

can be easily gobbled up by

toaster ovens, rotisserie cook-

ers, microwaves, coffee makers,

and various other countertop

appliances. These appliances

can take up valuable real estate

thats sorely missed when

preparing meals. An island can

be used solely for cooking and

preparation, and some home-

owners have incorporated cut-

ting boards and a prep sink into

the design of the island.

Islands also can be cus-

tomized according to a home-

owners needs. Instead of sim-

ply having cabinetry beneath

the counter, some opt to have a

wine cooler or even a bookshelf

for keeping cookbooks within

reach. An additional small

dishwasher or beverage refriger-

ator may be tucked into the

design of the island. For others,

the island may be a makeshift

What would Valen-tines Day be

without choco-

late? Candy and chocolate

are often exchanged come

Valentines Day. Though

store-bought confections

might be popular, such gifts

can easily be made at home

as well.

Chocolate satisfies a

sweet tooth, and some

researchers believe chocolate

is an aphrodisiac. In the

1980s, doctors at New York

State Psychiatric Institute

explored the possibility that

chocolate could be an aphro-

disiac. When someone is in

love, his or her brain pro-

duces a chemical called

phenyl ethylamine, or PEA,

which acts a lot like an

amphetamine, triggering the

hormones nor epinephrine

and dopamine to create feel-

ings of euphoria. Consideringchocolate naturally contains

PEA, there is reason to

believe that chocolate could

also trigger feelings of happi-

ness and love. However,

other chemicals might be

behind these feelings of

euphoria.

Whether this is the case

or not, chocolate will long

remain a romantic gift, espe-

cially on Valentines Day.Dipped pastries, lollipops and

chocolate-covered berries are

savory treats that can be

whipped up rather easily in

dents aged 55 and older. The

club meets every first and

third Friday of the month at

the Montville Senior House,

next to the police station on

Route 202 South. We servecoffee and cake at noon

Passaic Valley Hospice, a

non-profit organization, is in

need of volunteers for various

duties. Volunteers are an inte-

gral part of the professional

hospice team that providesphysical, emotional, and spiri-

tual support to the terminally

ill. Volunteers work directly

with patients and families,

providing respite for care-

givers, companionship for

patients and families, and

errand-runs. Weekday volun-

teers are especially needed.

For additional information,

call 973-785-7329. Reach out

bust some homeowners budg-

ets. Stationary islands can cost

several thousand dollars to

install, and this is money a

homeowner may be better off

investing elsewhere.

In smaller kitchens, anisland may be impractical

because of the space limitation.

Islands are typically at the heart

of the kitchen and may inter-

fere with walking space or

cause clearance issues when the

refrigerator door or cabinet

doors are open. For homeown-

ers who find space is at a premi-

um in the kitchen, an island

may not be the best idea.

However, a rolling island that

can be moved into position

when needed, then stored in a

convenient, out-of-the-waylocation might be a viable

option.

Depending on the com-

plexity of a kitchen island, its

installation may extend the

amount of time required to

complete the kitchen renova-

tion. This can prolong the

length of time needed to com-

plete the work. Running a gas

or electric line and plumbing to

the island may require a major

overhaul and demolition.

Kitchen islands are popu-

lar components of homedesigns. Before homeowners

engage in any kitchen renova-

tion that may include the

incorporation of an island,

they should know the advan-

tages and disadvantages.

From the early 1990s tothe beginning of this cen-

tury, bigger is better

certainly was the mantra of the

home-building industry. All

across North America buyers

could browse among home

developments boasting homes

of 3,000 square feet or larger

and multiple bedrooms and

bathrooms. But according tonew data, home buyers are

seeking less space today but

more in green amenities.

Research by the Canadian

Home Builders Association

has found that many people

now desire smaller homes with

multipurpose rooms and energy

saving features. Theyre not

ready to trade in their two- andthree-car garages just yet,

though. Plus, a survey of

International Furnishings and

Design Association members

forecasts that McMansions will

become a thing of the past and

more emphasis will be placed

on smaller, more eco-friendly

homes. Family rooms will grow

larger, as will kitchens. Other

rooms in the home will disap-

pear, including the living room.Many homeowners and

potential home buyers realize

that with girth comes a cost. In

todays fragile economy, the

ability to cash in on the dream

of homeownership may come

at the compromise of a smaller,

better-planned home.

According to Tim Bailey,

the manager of Avid Canada, a

research and consulting firm for

the building industry, Whilemany consumers are willing to

forgo space, they are not equat-ing this with having to forfeit

functionality. Design creativity

is requisite to adapt to this

changing preference.

Here are some things that

you will and will not find in

newer homes moving forward.

The dining room is becoming

extinct, with larger, eat-in-

kitchen/entertaining spaces the

norm. The kitchen will be the

main room of the home and berenamed the kitchen lounge.

Separate rooms are evolving

into spaces that serve many dif-

ferent purposes.

Although the sizes of bath-

rooms may be scaled back, the

amenities will not. Spa-style

bathrooms with luxurious prod-

ucts, high-tech features and tel-

evisions will be on the rise.

The master bedroom suite

may not shrink in size, but itcould be combined to form a

home office and exercise space.Expect to see more high-tech

offerings, such as voice- or

motion-activation devices in

the home. Lighting, entertain-

ment gear, heating/cooling sys-

tems, and even blinds could be

hooked up to a master control

system.

Thanks to an increasing num-

ber of people working from

home, the presence of a dedi-

cated home office is a given innewer homes. Nearly 40 per-

cent of industry forecasters say

that they expect one in every

home.

Home storage solutions will

also be a vital component of

new homes. Builders will create

clever solutions for mixing stor-

age into more compact spaces.

With aging Baby Boomers

comprising a larger segment of

home buyers, expect to seemore one-level homes, or at

least homes where there is amaster suite and the majority of

the living space on the first

level.

Part of what is driving

this trend is the cost of homes

in relation to space and the

increased interest in environ-

mental conservation. Smaller,

more efficient homes require

less in terms of heating and

cooling energy. They need less

furniture, and new materialsmade from sustainable prod-

ucts help further fuel green

initiatives in the building

industry. Energy efficient

homes are a main priority for

buyers. Although the homes

may be smaller, they will not

be miniscule. And home buy-

ers can expect a host of

amenities that will make the

smaller size of homes barely

perceptible.

band of Hepburn, who must

deal with the simultaneousarrival of both Grant and

Stewart, a journalist who

arrives to get the scoop

on her pending nuptials.

Stewart earned an Oscar for

his performance in the film,

which is also credited for

helping to revive Hepburns

career after a series of box

office flops.

Casablanca (1942):

Perhaps no film is

more synonymous withromance than this classic

starring Humphrey Bogart

and Ingrid Bergman as for-

mer lovers who reconnect

one night in a pressure-

packed African encounter

during World War II. The

two ex-lovers still harbor

feelings for one another,

though Bergmans Ilsa has

moved on and married a

resistance leader who

needs the help of BogartsRick to escape Nazi forces

hot on his trail. The film

features many classic

moments.

The Princess Bride

(1987): Couples who pre-

fer a love story, as told

through a fairy tale might

want to consider this Rob

Reiner-directed film star-

ring Cary Elwes as a farm boy

who falls in love with

Buttercup, the beautifuldaughter of his employer. An

ensemble cast that memorably

includes Billy Crystal, Mandy

Patinkin and pro wrestler

Andre the Giant contributes

to this hilarious classic that

follows the farm boys heroic

efforts to be with the woman

he loves.
