My column today starts

with an e-mail I re-

ceived from a client;

no doubt he just forwarded it to

me from one of his buddies who

got it from one of his friends or

co-workers. Ive devoted the

next two paragraphs to sharing itwith you.

The Food Stamp Program,

administered by the U.S. Depart-

ment of Agriculture, is actually

proud of the fact it is distributing the

greatest amount of free meals and

food stamps ever.

Meanwhile, the National

Park Service, administered by the

U.S. Department of the Interior,

instructs us: Please Do Not Feed

the Animals. Their stated reasonfor the policy is because the ani-

mals will grow dependent on hand-

outs and will not learn to take care

of themselves. This ends todays

lesson.

More people than ever in

U.S. history are depending on the

government to pay for their food,

medical care and housing and I

want to share with you a phone

call I received last week in

response to advertising a house I

own in Morris County for rent.

The caller was excited to hear

that the price was rather reason-

able for a three-bedroom rental at$1,800 per month. She told me

she has four children and was

being evicted from her current

home because the county found

out that she and her kids were liv-

ing in a two-bedroom rental,

which was determined to be

against the law. Three bedrooms

would be acceptable.

Arent you excited? she

asked. Before I could answer, she

chimed in again stating that the

county would pay all but $60 of

her $1,800 monthly rent obliga-

tion. I asked about her husband,

to which she replied, I haventgot one, but the father of my four

kids visits often.

So what does he do? I

inquired. Her response severely

surprised me. He works in man-

agement and makes around

$70,000 annually before any

bonuses are paid.

Really, I replied in amaze-

ment. So the town pays your

rent. Anything else?

Yes, she proudly stated.

They pay for all of our food,

medical and busing the kids to

school.

I was really getting angry at

this point. Your husband makes$70,000 annually and youre on

the county dole? She responded

that it was so expensive to live in

the area and she needed some

help. So what gives her the right

to live in an expensive area that

she cant afford? Answer: noth-

The American Tax-payer Relief Act of

2012 was signed by

the President on Jan. 2, 2013.The most visible tax

change in the new tax law is

the two percent increase inthe payroll tax. Everyone who

draws a paycheck or has self-

employment income will paymore in 2013. If you have

$40,000 in wages in 2013, you

will pay an additional $800 ofpayroll taxes over what you

paid in 2012 on the same

amount of wages.

The new law keeps the

income tax rates the same as

they were in 2012 for most

taxpayers and makes them

permanent. The new 39.6 per-

cent tax rate will apply to sin-

gle taxpayers making over$400,000 and couples making

over $450,000.

The law puts limitations

on the itemized deductions and

personal exemptions for singles

making over $250,000 and

married couples making over

$300,000.The long-term capital

gains rate will be 20 percent for

Hurricane Sandy,

which blew throughthe northeastern

United States in late October

of 2012, left a path of destruc-

tion in its wake thanks to a

record-breaking low pressure

system and a tidal surge that

caused many coastal areas to

be submerged in water. The

storm crippled transportation

systems, caused epic flooding,

even in areas that never had

water breach storm wallsbefore, knocked out power for

millions of people and was

responsible for scores of fatal-

ities.

Although many people

heeded the evacuation warn-

ings in areas expected to be

hit the hardest, others took

precautions by stocking up on

food, water and battery-pow-

ered items. But no one could

fathom the scope of damageSandy would bring. In the

wake of Sandys destruction,

many people have resolved to

go to greater lengths to pre-

pare for future disasters.Those making plans for

change in the new year may

want to move disaster pre-

paredness to the top of their

to-do lists.

Record-breaking storms

have increased in frequency

and intensity in recent years.

Hurricanes Katrina, Irene and

Sandy are each glaring exam-

ples of just how devastating

such storms can be, and howimportant it is to be prepared

for such disasters. The follow-

ing are a few preparation sug-

gestions from FEMA, the

Federal Emergency Manage-

ment Agency.

Pack an emergency go bag.

Individuals may be urged to

evacuate their homes when

certain storms are on the

horizon. Doing so quickly and

effectively means havingpacked items at the ready to

grab at a moments notice.

Pack several changes of

clothes, some cash,

medications, identification,snacks and water, a first-aid

kit and a list of important

phone numbers.

Have an emergency pre-

paredness kit. People who are

not in the immediate danger

zones and will be staying put

can have a kit at home that

includes the following items:

one gallon of water for each

person for three days

nonperishable foods thatyour family has enjoyed

before and will last at least

three days

baby wipes and garbage

bags for personal sanitation

plastic sheeting

duct tape

wrench or pliers

whistle

batteries and battery-oper

ated flashlights and radios

can opener cell phone with charger

infant formula and diapers,

Professional tooth scal-ing was associated with

fewer heart attacks and

strokes in a Taiwanese study.

Among more than 100,000

people, those who had their

teeth scraped

and cleaned by

a dental profes-

sional had a 24

percent lower

risk of heart

attack and a 13percent lower

risk of stroke

compared to

those who had

never had a

dental cleaning.

Scient is t s

c o n s i d e r e d

tooth scaling

frequent if it

occurred at least

at twice or morein two years.

Patients were

followed for

seven years and had no histo-ry of heart attack or stroke at

the beginning of the study.

Protection from heart

disease and stroke was more

pronounced in participants

who got tooth scaling at least

once a year, said Emily

Chen, M.D., a cardiology fel-

low at the Veterans General

Hospital in Tapei, Taiwan.

Dr. Chen said profes-

sional tooth scaling appearsto reduce inflammation-caus-

ing bacterial growth that can

lead to heart disease or

stroke.

ing! She and her boyfriend are

scamming the system for their

own personal advantage and

getting away with it. The gov-

ernment cannot force people

to marry and therefore she is a

stay-at-home, non-working

mother with four illegitimate

kids. She is, in my opinion, a

criminal, who has legally

cheated the system for years.

Consequently, I did not enter-

tain her tenancy!

Is there a lesson to be

learned from these two related

stories? The first one is have a

family without the sanctity of

marriage. The government

created and perpetuated its

own problem of abusive

behavior by rewarding this

behavior, instead of cutting-

off aid after the second, third

or fourth child. Secondly, if the

animals are trained never to

hunt because food is always pro-

vided, youre going to have a lot

of fat, lazy animals waiting for

more hand-outs! Worse yet, the

rest of us continue to pay for

this behavior in perpetuity!

One simple solution would be

to demand a level of work and

activity for the public good

and welfare in order to receive

aid for all of those able to

work. No work: no pay and no

benefits. I should add here

that the prospective tenant

who called me works part time

off the books at a local store so

she produces not a single

penny in revenue to off-set

the thousands of county dol-

lars she receives every month.

She has nothing to do to

increase her income except to

make more children with her

boyfriend for the monthly

reward. Given the chance to

do the same thing, how many

couples would not marry, have

the same amount of kids and

collect income, housing and

benefits for decades? My guess

is, this has and will continue

to be a growth industry, until

the government puts an end

to it or modifies it! And that

is part of todays lesson too.

What about pride, up-bring-

ing, morals and ethics? And

not to mention religion?

Shouldnt these also be

factors?

Well, introduce depraved

violent video games into our

culture, remove God from the

pledge of allegiance and from

the classrooms of American

schools, and the results are an

increase in violence (some

involving guns), a decrease in

academic achievement and an

acceptance of mediocre

grades. In turn, this leads to a

dependence society, drain-

ing the fortune and futures of

hard-working, overtaxed

Americans, both young and

old, who struggle each day to

build a platform of financial

independence and might

wind-up saying, Why didnt I

think to remain single, not

find a job and live off the gov-

ernment for the rest of my

life?

This is a viscous cycle to

say the least. The government

must put together a policy

after a reasonable amount of

unemployment time that

states if youre physically able

and you dont work, you wont

eat. Its as simple as that! The

country needs to replace or

rebuild roads, bridges and tun-

nels, so there is plenty of work

available. To the prospective

tenant who called on my

house-for-rent ad: Go to work,

get married and pay your own

way, or get your shovel and

hardhat ready!

The U.S. Government as

well as the state and county are

broke. If we do not stop the

spending, taxes will increase

forever! One way to bring the

imbalance in-line is to examine

the recipients of governmental

charity for validation. Our soci-

ety will perish if poor behavior

is continually rewarded over

responsible behavior and worse

yet, when responsible behavior

is punished by increasing taxes

to pay for poor behavior.

Physical therapists can

use a variety of environ-

ments and tools to pro-

vide therapy to patients.

Aquatic therapy is the use of a

water environment and

specifically designed activities

to enhance and restore a per-

sons functional abilities.

Some of the inherent

properties of water make it a

very beneficial environment

for many patients. The buoy-

ancy of the water provides

assistance with movement. It

also decreases the effect of

gravity on the body, which

enables patients to support

themselves more easily and to

bear weight on weak or

painful extremities due to the

decreased stress placed on

muscles, joints and bones.

Aquatic therapy is pro-

vided in a heated pool, tem-

peratures ranging from 9296

degrees. The warm water

relaxes muscles and allows for

improved joint range of

motion.

Hydrostatic pressure is

the pressure of the water on

the body. This pressure of the

water surrounding the body

helps circulate blood from the

legs to the heart, often reduc-

ing swelling in the ankles and

feet. Once swelling is reduced,

joint tenderness may decrease

and range of motion can

increase.

Water provides resist-

ance to movement, allowing

for improvement in balance

and strength in all muscle

directions. On land, resistance

is felt in only one direction,

which leads to an over devel-

opment of some muscles and

under utilization of others.

After an illness, injury or

surgery, pain and limited abil-

Martin Luther King,

Jr. played a pivotal

role in race rela-

tions in the United States for

nearly a decade. He helped

secure the end of legal segre-

gation of African-American

citizens, created the Civil

Rights Act of 1964 and served

as a source of inspiration for

black individuals across the

globe.

Dr. King did not begin

his life as a crusader or public

figure. He had much more

modest beginnings in rural

Atlanta. Born Michael King,

Jr., he was the middle child of

Michael King, Sr. and Alberta

Williams King. Michael King,

Sr. served as pastor of

Ebenezer Baptist Church

upon the death of his father-

in-law, who was the churchs

prior pastor. At this point, the

elder king decided to change

his name to Martin Luther to

honor the famed Protestant

religious leader. His son soon

decided to adopt the name as

well.

A religious family, the

Kings tried to shield their

children from the realities of

racism that were alive and

well in the country. They

believed racism and segrega-

tion to be an affront to Gods

will, and Martin, Sr. discour-

aged separation of class and

taught these lessons to his

children. Those lessons res-

onated with Martin, Jr.

Dr. King attended

Booker T. Washington High

School and was so advanced

he was able to skip both the

9th and 11th grades. He went

on to college at the age of 15,

graduating from Morehouse

College in 1948 with a degree

in sociology. In his junior year

of college, King enrolled in a

Bible class that sparked a

renewed enthusiasm for the

ministry. He later enrolled in

the liberal Crozer Theologi-

cal Seminary in Chester,

Pennsylvania, where he

received a Bachelors of

Divinity. Later he attended

Boston University and earned

a Ph.D. at the age of 25. It was

during his time in Boston that

he met his future wife, Coretta

Scott. While he was complet-

ing his dissertation work, Dr.

King became the pastor for

the Dexter Avenue Baptist

Church of Montgomery,

Alabama.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

became directly involved in

the civil rights movement

after the head of the local

NAACP chapter in Mont-

gomery met with him on the

night that Rosa Parks was

arrested for failure to give up

her bus seat to a white passen-

ger. Dr. King helped institute

the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

During this time, African-

Americans refused to ride

the public bus system in

Montgomery. The boycott

lasted 382 days. During that

time, Dr. Kings home was

bombed due to his involve-

ment in the boycott, and he

was arrested for conspiracy.

His work paid off on

December 21, 1956, when the

Supreme Court ruled that

racial segregation on public

transportation was illegal.

Dr. King promoted non-

violent protests against unfair-

ness to the African-American

community, urging civil dis-

obedience and peaceful pro-

tests, tenets that formed the

basis for the Southern

Christian Leadership Confer-

ence, or SCLC, which he led.

He participated in numerous

nonviolent protests and was

arrested several times. During

one stint in jail, he penned his

famous, Letter from a

Birmingham Jail.

Dr. King established a

relationship with fellow

African-American civil rights

activist Bayard Rustin, who

shared similar interests, in-

cluding the teachings of

Gandhi. Rustin would serve as

Kings mentor and also was

the main organizer of the

March on Washington that

took place on August

28, 1963. Approximately

250,000 demonstrators were

involved in the march, and it

was the largest demonstration

in the nations capital up to

that time. In front of the

Lincoln Memorial, Dr. King

issued his famed I Have a

Dream speech. He later met

with President John F.

Kennedy to appeal for greater

rights for African-Americans

and called for an end of segre-

gation.

As a result of his civil

rights efforts, Dr. King was

awarded the Nobel Peace

Prize on December 10, 1964,

at the age of 35. He was the

youngest person ever to

receive the honor. He donated

all of the prize money to his

racial equality effort.

Through the late 1960s,

Dr. King expanded his Civil

Rights Movement to other

cities. But he was often met

with criticism, especially

when he appealed to white

middle-class citizens. Many

militant black organizations

considered Kings methods too

weak and ineffective. His sup-

port was faltering and Dr.

King grew weary of marches,

jail and protests. However, in

April of 1968, a labor strike in

Memphis drew Kings atten-

tion, and he gave a speech

Dog owners should take

coughing very seri-

ously. The issue could

be tied to kennel cough, pneu-

monia, canine flu or similar

bronchial issue. No matter the

core issue, multiple rounds of

medications may have already

been tried, only to find that

the pet is still hampered by a

coughing condition caused by

some unknown organism, or

pathogen. Perhaps, as is possi-

ble with most organisms, the

involved strains have devel-

oped a resistance to common

prescriptions.

Causes of coughing

Pneumonia, kennel

cough, a foreign object,

household products (anything

that can be aerosolized) or

genetic conditions such as tra-

cheal hypoplasia can cause

coughing issues. The most

common infectious cause is

kennel cough, also referred to

as Bordetella (bordetellosis)

or tracheobronchitis, and is

among the more typical upper

respiratory issues that may

affect dogs.

Kennel cough

This common issue is

highly contagious and is

known to affect a high per-

centage of dogs. The boarding

home or the groomers are

easy places to contract the ill-

ness but exposure can be any-

place dogs contact each

other. Causative agents of,

or contributors to, this com-

mon upper respiratory issue

may include: para influenza,

Bordetella bronchiseptica

and mycoplasma. Canine

adenovirus, reovirus and

even the canine herpes virus

have been known to be con-

tributors. Usually, more than

one of these are contribu-

tors. Initial symptoms

include a hacking, dry

cough, with a retching-like

action. Often, the sound

exhibited may resemble that

of honking or what a dog

with a hairball may sound

like. Occasionally, the cough

is accompanied by a nasal dis-

charge that is quite watery,

rather than heavy. Advanced

cases may lead to lethargy,

along with fever and lack of

appetite; occasionally, pneu-

monia can result.

Pneumonia issues

Pneumonia has various

forms, but as an inflammatory

illness of the lungs, it can be

life threatening, as it strongly

affects the ability of the body

to absorb oxygen from air

taken in. With an infection

resulting in pneumonia, the

sacs in the lungs, responsible

for collecting the oxygen

needed by the body, become

filled with fluid, thereby

inhibiting the ability to col-

lect enough oxygen to support

the body. Symptoms of pneu-

monia consist of coughing,

elevated fever, difficulty

breathing and chest pain. If

these signs are noted then an

emergency veterinarian visit

is recommended.

Dog flu

Canine influenza (dog

flu), is a highly contagious res-

piratory infection caused by a

virus. Canine influenza is a

relatively new condition. The

first documented case in the

U.S. was in January

2004 at a Grey-

hound racetrack in

Florida. There have

since been outbreaks

throughout the coun-

try. The canine

influenza virus is

closely related to

the virus that caus-

es equine influenza. It is

thought that the equine

influenza virus mutated to

produce the canine influen-

za virus.

Two clinical syndromes

have been seen in dogs

infected with the canine

influenza virus a mild

form of the disease and a

more severe form that is

accompanied by pneumo-

nia.

Dogs suffering from the

mild form of canine influenza

develop a soft, moist cough

but some dogs have a dry

cough similar to the kennel

cough caused by the

Bordetella bronchiseptica/

para influenza virus complex.

Therefore, it is not uncom-

mon for true dog flu cases to

be misdiagnosed as kennel

cough. Dogs with the mild

form of influenza may also

have a thick nasal discharge,

which may be caused by a sec-

ondary bacterial infection.

Dogs with the more

severe form of canine influen-

za will develop a high fever

and show clinical symptoms

of pneumonia, such as

rapid, labored breathing.

Pneumonia may be caused by

a secondary bacterial infec-

tion.

Because this is a newly

emerging disease, almost all

dogs, are susceptible to infec-

tion and have no immunity.

ity to bear weight may impact

a patients ability to partici-

pate in land based physical

therapy comfortably. In water,

the pull of gravity on the body

is not as strong as on land;

therefore, motion and func-

tional activity can be more

comfortable in the pool.

Water supports the body,

reduces joint stress and pro-

vides resistance, as well as

assistance to movement.

Although aquatic thera-

py does not work for people

with some medical conditions,

it is very beneficial for most

patients with various diseases

and conditions. This form of

therapy helps to improve

blood circulation, muscle

strength, balance and en-

durance. It is also helpful in

reducing blood pressure and

joint pains in people who suf-

fer from arthritis. If you feel

that you can benefit from

aquatic therapy, discuss it with

your doctor.

Remodeling a basement

is a popular home

improvement project.

A finished basement makes

the space more functional and,

when done correctly, can add a

considerable amount of living

space to a home.

Finishing a basement

pays dividends in additional

space in a home that doesnt

require the same level of

investment as putting an addi-

tion on the house. Also, the

groundwork for a finished

room is already there, as most

basements are already set up

with a poured concrete floor

and some walls, usually cinder

blocks. Some electrical com-

ponents, plumbing and the

creature comforts of drywall

and a more inviting floor

might be all thats necessary to

finish a basement. The process

can be labor-intensive, and

many people prefer to leave it

to a professional contractor.

Whatever finishing method is

chosen, homeowners should

follow the proper procedures

when doing the work.

DO start with a detailed plan.

Measure out the basement

and mark any items that

cannot be moved, such as a

furnace, water heater or

pipes. Create a design

board that showcases the

materials you plan to use

on the project. Think

about ways you plan to

arrange furniture and con-

sider all of the possible uses

for the room. Will it be a

home theater? Will some-

one be sleeping down

there? Each scenario will

require certain amenities

and safety requirements.

DONT plan to finish the

entire basement. Doing so

will leave you without a stor-

age or utility area where you

house holiday decorations,

tools, luggage and similar

items.

DO get the scoop on building

codes. Knowing what the

municipality allows in base-

ment remodeling will help you

to customize a plan that is

functional, safe and legal. No

one wants to be slapped with

fines for failing to follow the

rules. Plus, failure to meet

building codes could mean the

work that has been done must

be torn out and redone. It pays

to follow the chain of com-

mand and secure permits while

having all work inspected.

DONT overlook adequate

lighting in your refinishing

plan. A basement is likely one

area of the house that has lim-

ited natural light pouring in.

With traditionally small win-

dows, or no windows at all, a

basement needs ample lighting

in its design scheme. This may

include a combination of over-

head and task lighting. Ample

lighting will help the room feel

like part of the house and not

just a forgotten storage area.

DO take into consideration

moisture issues in the base-

ment. Many basements are

plagued by moisture issues

ranging from water seepage to

condensation forming on

walls. These situations may

vary depending on the weath-

er throughout the year.

Certain materials may need to

be used to mitigate water issues

before finishing can take

place. The installation of

water-barrier systems, drain-

age, sump pumps, or encapsu-

lation products could drive up

the cost of a basement renova-

tion. It is essential to have a

professional assess the base-

ment water issues prior to

starting and finishing work.

DONT simply cover up

potential hazards, such as mold

or mildew. Have them treated

instead. Otherwise, you could

have a breeding ground

behind drywall that could lead

to unsafe conditions in the

home.

DO have a radon test. Radon

is a hidden killer that can

cause lung cancer. Because it

occurs naturally in the soil and

water surrounding a home and

is impossible to detect without

a specialized test, many people

are unaware of the presence of

radon until it is too late.

Radon may be more concen-

trated in the basement, where

the foundation is touching the

soil. Therefore, rule out radon

before considering renovation

of a basement area.

DONT limit furniture choic-

es to one type. You may need

to be flexible in your furniture

choices, even selecting modu-

lar pieces, like sectionals,

because entryways to base-

ments may have small door-

ways or obstructions that make

adding furniture more chal-

lenging.

DO keep the possibility of

flooding in the back of your

head. Homes that are near

waterways or at low elevation

may be at risk of flooding.

Basements are especially sus-

ceptible to flood damage.

Therefore, think about the

practicality of finishing a base-

ment if you are prone to flood-

ing. If you decide to move

ahead, take certain precau-

tionary measures, such as

keeping electrical wiring up

higher and using a more water-

resistant flooring material, like

There are so many peo-

ple who are anxious to

get knee-deep in home

improvement projects. Still

others are more than happy to

leave the work to a professional

and sit back and enjoy the

results. Those who choose to

hire a contractor can certainly

get their fill of home improve-

ment projects by watching films

where homes or renovations are

central to the plot.

1.Money Pit:No list would be

complete without including this

movie starring Tom Hanks and

Shelley Long, who attempt to

renovate a mansion only to be

met with disaster after disaster.

2.The Notebook: Nicholas

Sparks novel turned into this

unforgettable, romantic film is a

love story at its core. However,

the renovation of a Victorian

home in the Carolinas is also

central to the story and makes

for amazing imagery.

3.Poltergeist: This movie

showcases what can go wrong

when a home takes on a life of

its own as malevolent ghosts

take over.

4.Under the Tuscan Sun:

While renovating a home

might be considered interesting,

doing so in the remote beauty of

the Italian countryside makes

for a much more visually

appealing film.

5.House of Sand and Fog: A

woman is evicted from her

home after it is wrongly repos-

sessed and auctioned. Together

with a sheriffs deputy the

woman begins harassing the

new owners of the home in an

attempt to get back her resi-

dence.

6.Field of Dreams: Although it

is not the house that is getting a

makeover, but rather the fields

behind this impressive farm-

house, viewers can be mesmer-

ized by the magic that ensues

afterward.

electronics and items on

Finishing a basement is

a job that can add a lot of

way to keep within budget

and have a room that is safe

and functional.

Develop a communication

plan. Establish a communica-

tion plan so that family can

be contacted and notified of

your situation should you be

separated from your home orif family members become

separated from one another.

Dont forget entertainment.

If power is lost for an extend-

ed period of time, many of

the electronics that keep

children and adults amused

will be rendered useless.

Have books, puzzles and

manual toys available for

entertainment.

Pack your prescription med-ications. Individuals who are

on maintenance medications

should be sure to refill orhave doctors call in a refill to

a pharmacy prior to the

arrival of a storm.

Stock up on fuel. In the

event of a power failure, fuel

pumps do not work and gas

shortages may occur. Fill your

gas tank and have several

gallons of gasoline available

to run a generator if you have

one.

Carry some cash. It isimportant to withdraw cash

before a storm arrives. The

ATM at your local bank may

not operate, and the bank

may be closed. Stores may

not be able to accept credit

or debit cards.

A disaster is something

no one anticipates. But

everyone can and should take

measures to prepare for a dis-

aster should one such asHurricane Sandy occur.

February, when Valen-

tines Day serves as theofficial day of love and

affection, is a great to embark

on a romantic vacation,

especially if that getaway is

to a warmer locale that can

help men and women

momentarily forget about the

snowstorms and colder tem-

peratures back home.

Some resorts and travel-

based businesses take advan-

tage of Valentines Day byinflating prices to capitalize

on gift-giving. However,

many others use this time of

year to offer specialized sales

and discounts to help boost

business through the remain-

der of the winter season. It is

possible to enjoy an indul-

gent trip without having to

spend a fortune.

Consider cruising. There

are cruises that depart fromvarious ports all year long.

All it takes is a call to a

cruise line or logging on to

their Web sites to check the

scheduling. For those unop-

posed to flying to a different

port, you may be able to

broaden your options with

regard to cruise destinations

and departing dates. Cruises

are advantageous because

they are all-inclusive, self-contained vacations.

Couples who dont want the

hassle of packing and

unpacking several times and

want their meals and enter-

tainment planned out ahead

of time might find cruising is

their trip. There also is the

ability to visit different ports

of call all in one trip, ensur-

ing there is never a dull

moment.Look into winery packages.

Wineries may be doing their

planting and harvesting in

the warmer weather, but

come the winter they may be

facing a slow-down in foot

traffic and may be eager to

attract business. Sampling

different vintages and spend-

ing time in an often adults-

only environment can be an

ideal way to spend aValentines Day weekend.

Make it an overnight trip

and stay nearby in a hotel.Some wineries may offer a

restaurant on premises or

work with a local establish-

ment to provide package

deals.

Visit your closest city.

Many people living in thesuburbs seldom make trips

into downtown unless they

are regular commuters for

work. Even those who spend

their weekdays in an urban

area may never have experi-

enced all of the little gems

that attract tourists. For

Valentines Day, you may

want to see your urban center

through the eyes of a visitor,

taking advantage of the

museums, cultural centers

and buildings that attract

tourists throughout the year.

Chances are the trip will notbe costly, and youll be close

to home.

Take in live music. Theres

something romantic about

listening to music together.

Investigate upcoming con-

certs in your area. Some cof-

fee shops and bars host open-

mic nights when buddingartists can be heard. Check

to see if any smaller venues

are hosting intimate,

acoustic concerts by popular

bands. It can be a memorable

night and one that doesnt

break the bank.

Trade time-share dates with

others. Time shares are great

ways to have a dedicated

vacation spot that you are

guaranteed during a certain

time-share swapping sites likeTimeShareJuice.com. Find out

if you can exchange your req-

uisite time with another and

take your vacation in honor ofValentines Day.

Consider a private rental sit-

vacation homes list them forrent when they are unoccu-

pied. You may be able to stay

in a larger condo or space than

a traditional hotel room for asmaller cost than going to a

hotel. If you develop a rapport

with a particular renter, you

may have preference of dates

and can make visiting a tropi-

yearly Valentines Day adven-

ture. Try VRBO.com to find a

an expensive venture. There

are many ways to save money

The championship

game of the NationalFootball League, the

Super Bowl transcends geog-

raphy every year, roping in

viewers from across the

globe, making the game one

of televisions most-watched

events. For those heading to

the big game this year or sim-

ply hosting their own Super

Bowl party, the following

recipe for Thomas

Marinated Gamecocks withPolenta from Debbie

Mooses Fan Fare (Harvard

Common Press) is perfectly

suited for tailgate parties or

get-togethers at home.

Thomas Marinated Game-

cocks with Polenta

Serves 414 cup honey14 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons chopped garlic

2 tablespoons chopped freshginger

1 tablespoon freshly ground

black pepper

1 cup water

2 Cornish game hens with

Polenta (at right)

1.Combine the honey, soy

sauce, garlic, ginger, pepper,

and water in a smallsaucepan. Cook over medi-

um-low heat, stirring con-

stantly, until completely

blended. Allow to cool to

room temperature.

2.Use sharp kitchen shears to

cut the game hens in half

down the center of the back

and breast, and place in a

large zipper-top plastic bag.

Pour in the marinade, seal

the bag and refrigerateovernight.

3.When ready to cook, pre-

pare a medium-low fire in a

charcoal grill or preheat a gas

grill.

4.Remove the hens from the

marinade (discard the mari-

nade) and grill until the

juices run clear when the

meat is pierced with a sharp

knife, about 5 minutes per

side. Serve over the polenta.Polenta

2 teaspoons butter or olive

oil

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 cup finely ground cornmeal

112 cups chicken broth

112 cups water12 cup half-and-half14 cup grated Parmesan

cheese, or to taste

1 cup frozen green peas,

thawed

2 tablespoons julienned fresh

basil

Salt and freshly ground black

pepper to taste

1.Heat the butter in a large

pot over medium-high heat.Add the red pepper flakes

and garlic. Reduce the heat

and cook until the garlic

becomes opaque, about 30

seconds. Add the cornmeal,

then whisk in the chicken

broth and water. Add salt

and pepper.

Bring the mixture to a

low boil, then reduce the heatto low and simmer, whisking

occasionally, until the mixture

thickens, about 20 minutes.

2.Whisk in the half-and-half.

If the mixture is too thick,

add a bit more chicken broth

or water. Whisk in the

Parmesan, peas and basil.

Taste and add more salt and

pepper, if desired. Servewarm.

Note: Those heading to the

game can prepare the mari-

nade and marinate the chick-

en the day before. However,

make the rest of the dish at

the tailgate.
