With the Holiday season

comfortably in the rear

view mirror, potential

sellers are entering an annual peri-

od of what I call, Listing Limbo.

The internal debate rages as towhether or not one should list

their home now, or wait until the

spring market arrives. Lets take a

closer look at each approach from a

Realtors perspective to see if our

answer becomes a bit clearer.

List now is the answer that

many Realtors will give, and in

most cases it can be sound advice.

The truth is that even though

buyer traffic may be lighter this

time of year, the buyers that areactually out there tend to be very

serious. The herds of casual look-

ers seeking the latest interior

design tips have not yet left their

warm homes to venture out and

see what this years inventory has

to offer. That coupled with the

fact that the inventory of homes is

still low from winter could mean

that waiting until spring may alsomean missing a solid buyer.

So its a no brainer? Not so

fast! Many homes have physical

characteristics that may increase

their value once the white outside

turns to green. For example, lake-

front properties and those with

extensive landscaping could be

taking one of their strongest assets

off the table by listing too early. Ifone of the key factors in procuring

a sale has to do with what sits

beyond the outside walls, it may be

a good idea to give it a month or

two to ensure that your strongest

foot is forward. Remember, you

only get one shot at being NEW

and you want your home and its

particular characteristics to be at

their best.

So there you have it. If you

are looking to sell this year, listing

now may be your best bet consider-

ing the lack of competition. Onthe other hand, if your homes

desirability will be decreased by the

lack of plants, pools, lakes or any

other outdoor asset, you are likely

better off waiting until Mother

Nature is on your side. Heres to a

phenomenal year in real estate.

See you on the market!

Two families apply forcollege financial aid:

one set of parents par-

tied and went on vacation

every year for a decade, eat-

ing-out weekly, never saving

or investing a dime, putting

nothing away for their kids

college education. The other

parents did sacrifice, save and

invest to accumulate funds for

their kids education, even if

not reaching the completetuition goal will be denied for

financial aid in spite of doing

the right thing! The couplewill be denied in favor of the

couple that made no effort to

save for their kids; in fact they

will receive need based

grants, scholarships and

financial aid packages reward-

ing their lack of parental and

fiscal responsibility, sacrific-

ing some personal lifestyle

today for the betterment of

their children tomorrow. Isnt

this sad, but its true. Penalizethe good guy by compensating

the bad. No matter though,

In America, no good deedgoes unpunished!

Another quick example:

two identical houses built the

same day are sold to two fam-

ilies. One family gardens,

paints, mows the lawn,

updates and improves their

home constantly, where the

other family creates an eye-

sore, never trims the grass, the

paint is peeling-off and the

pool became an algae infestedswamp. For maintaining and

beautifying the house, the

first family/owner will bepenalized by the tax assessor

for their good deeds and

efforts benefiting themselves,

the neighbors and the com-

munity where the other fami-

ly/owner of the eyesore quali-

fies for a tax reduction or at

minimum, no increase in

property tax! Figure that out?

In America, no good deed

goes unpunished!

One NJ driver elects tohave severely limited or no

auto insurance; another NJ

driver, purchases a great poli-cy including collision cover-

age and no threshold liability

coverage. The two drivers

have an opportunity to meet

each other from a head-on

collision that is the fault of

driver # 1. Because driver #2

purchased a policy with a

more expensive protection

plan optimally protecting him

and his family from financial

ruin, the at fault driversinsurance policy is inadequate

to pay for the losses suffered

by driver #2 forcing his policy

and company to pay the

claim. As a result, driver #2s

premium goes up at renewal

and for years afterward since a

claim was paid on his behalf.

Why? Isnt that why driver #2

paid more to begin with by

making the better and proper

policy selection! In America,no good deed goes unpun-

ished!

From a top-down per-

spective, I fear that too many

people who currently hold a

government office, are more

concerned with getting re-

elected than doing the job

they were elected to perform.

Whenever class warfare is

declared, the working tax-

paying public doesnt have a

chance. Nope, free enter-

prise, capitalism and proving

that you are a worthy respon-

sible employee to an employ-

er pales in comparison to

being paid to do nothing,earn nothing, contribute

nothing and care about noth-

ing, except for yourself.

These people need to be

reminded that somewhere,

somehow, someone took a risk

with their time, capital or

lives to create a business that

would one day have the abili-

ty to create jobs and employ

others which in-turn created

the largest middle class in thehistory of the world! It is the

rich that created the middle

class that purchases goods and

services that drive the econo-

my; to let the vast majority of

Americans live a lifestyle sec-

ond to no other nation on the

planet, or at least thats how it

used to be! The people who

were the risk-takers deserve to

make more, not pay a dispro-portionate amount more. It is

the risk-taker that stood to

lose everything and some did,

yet many of them tried again

and found tremendous success

only to be penalized and pun-

ished by increased forced

charity (taxation) without

regard for the risks they

undertook, because in

America no good deed goes

unpunished!If the government con-

tinues to levy even more tax

on the 5% of the public that

are considered rich, according

to this President Obama,this

includes families making over

$250,000 annually, they will

lose all incentive to sacrifice

and risk even more to earn

$350,00, $500,000 and

$1,000,000. They will move

away, retire early, sell theirbusiness or more likely, fire

staff in order to pay the taxes,

which, they are powerless to

curtail. What incentive do

they have to do otherwise;

the income tax base will

shrink even further when

they fight back with the only

weapons at their disposal,

exacerbating an already tenu-

ous situation. The answer to

this debate is to incentivize

the business builders and jobcreators. Another answer is to

reduce taxes on the rich so

they may continue to buy

cars, boats, airplanes and

vacations. Im speaking about

our Presidents definition of

rich, those families earn-

ing $250,000 $3,000,000

annually. The super-rich,

annual incomes exceed-

ing $3,000,000 - $10,000,000

annually comprise a totallydifferent group as do the mega

rich whose annual income

exceeds $10,000,000. They

can pay a little bit more, but

whatever the percentage is, it

will not solve anything with

the annual budget or total

deficit as there are just too

few of these people to tax!

Conclusion tax everyone on

everything they buy in lieu of

income tax, exempting food,clothing and shelter, there-

fore necessities are tax-free.

Bob buys a row-boat so hell

pay row boat tax. David pur-

chases a $5,000,000 yacht and

hell pay yacht tax. Paul

doesnt like boats, yachts,

fishing or swimming, there-

fore hell pay no tax! Pretty

simple isnt it? However, in

the meantime there are

income taxes with more and

higher income tax rates com-ing because government

refuses to reduce spending or

cut entitlements or change

the current broken system of

taxation. What are the tax-

paying people to do to get

some tax relief until some of

these ideas are taken to heart

and acted upon?

Answer Tax-deferred,Tax-advantaged and Tax-free

asset accumulation along

with Tax-free income during

your retirement years. APG

Ihave been a dentist since

1980, and motivating

patients to floss regularly is

still one of the hardest parts of

my job. Some

patients cant

reach all the

teeth, cant see

them, or are

unable to hold

floss properly

due to physicalailments. Most

people, howev-

er, just get frus-

trated with the

amount of time and effort floss-

ing takes!

Unfortunately, tooth-

brushes alone are insufficient to

maintain healthy teeth and

gums. The brush bristles are too

thick to remove the trapped

food from those tight spacesbetween your teeth where

decay can start. Dental floss is

one of the least expensive

hygiene inventions and cleans

out the byproducts of food that

cause irreversible gum problems

like periodontal disease.

The American Dental

Association has stressed the

importance of flossing for over

40 years, yet gum disease and

tooth decay are still two of the

most persistent health prob-

lems described by the Center

for Disease Control (CDC).If you cant floss or simply

cant get motivated, Sonicare

came up with a unique inven-

tion called the Air Flosser. It

sprays water (and/or mouth-

wash) and air between your

teeth in short bursts. The Air

Flosser is compact, recharge-

able, easy to use, and feels like

an electric toothbrush handle.

We have been endorsing it at

my office as the second best

thing to flossing.Visit our office for your

checkup, cleaning and X-rays,

and we will gladly demonstrate

this great new gadget!

What are your

chances of being

audited by the

IRS? Not surprisingly, the

nations tax collector tends to

go after the big money.

According to figures re-

cently released by the IRS,

approximately 1.11 percent of

all 2010 individual tax returns

were audited in 2011, the same

as the prior year. This rate has

hovered around the 1 percent

mark for several years.

In comparison, the audit

rate of 1.02 percent for taxpay-

ers with income of less than

$100,000 almost quadrupled to

3.93 percent for those with an

income of $200,000 or more.

That means the IRS audited

roughly one out of every 25 of

these returns. And the odds of

being audited jumped to about

one out of eight for those with

income above $1 million.

Besides chasing high-income

taxpayers, the IRS often flags

returns for the following

reasons:

Unreported income.

The IRS will

match the W-2s and

1099s it receives with

the income reported on

your return.

Travel and entertain-

ment deductions.

Traditionally, this

is a prime audit target.

IRS agents pay extra

attention to deduc-

tions for business use

of vehicles.

Large charitable gifts.

Its suspicious if charitable

deductions are disproportion-

ate to the amount of your

income.

Home-office deductions.

Such deductions are often

claimed by taxpayers who do

some work at home but dont

otherwise qualify for a home

office.

Rental real estate losses.

In general, losses arent

available unless you actively

participate in the rental

activity.

Cash businesses. If youre

usually paid in cash, the IRS is

more likely to peruse your

return.

Hobby losses.

Generally, you cant claim

a loss from an activity thats

merely a hobby, not a bona fide

business.

Foreign bank accounts.

The IRS is after taxpayers who

dont report income from off-

shore accounts.

Conversely, dont pass up

legitimate tax breaks on your

return. If youre uncertain, give

us a call for guidance.

Do your dogs or cats

ears have an odor? Are

they scratching or

shaking their head? Is there

dirt-like material in the ears?

What could it be? What should

you do? This could be an ear

infection and you should seek

medical assistance from your

veterinarian before the condi-

tion worsens and becomes

painful. Ear infections are very

common. Based on data from

pet insurance companies, ear

infections are one of the top 10

reasons dogs and cats visit their

veterinarian.

Dogs and cats can have

ear infections or inflammation

of the ear canal for many dif-

ferent reasons, such as allergies

(seasonal/environmental or

food), parasites (like ear

mites), foreign bodies (like

plant awns), endocrine dis-

eases (like underactive thy-

roids), ear anatomy (like

excess hair or moisture),

hereditary or immune condi-

tions, and tumors.

Pets with allergies, either

to food or something they

inhale, often have ear prob-

lems. Allergies are typically the

most common cause of ear

infections that veterinarians

see. Sometimes these ear prob-

lems may be the first sign of an

allergy. The inflammation

from allergies changes the

environment within the ear,

which leads to secondary

infections with bacteria or

yeast. If we just treat the infec-

tion, we are not getting to the

root of the problem. We need

to treat the allergies too with

diet trials, immunotherapy, or

medication.

Ear mites are a more com-

mon cause of ear problems in

cats than in dogs. The resultant

itching can be intense and may

be present elsewhere on the

body, not just the ears. When

ear discharge is seen, many

people will assume that their

pets ear infection is due to

ear mites. Ear mites dis-

charge has a distinctive black

coffee-ground appearance

whereas infectious discharge

is moister and ranges from

brown to yellow.

Other causes of ear infec-

tions include foreign bodies,

most notably plant awns. They

cause irritation, your pet

scratches, and before you know

it, they have an ear infection.

Certain endocrine diseases can

cause skin and ear problems

such as hypothyroidism and

Cushings disease. Certain dog

breeds with heavy, floppy ears

such as Cocker Spaniels

may be predisposed due to the

excess moisture that builds up

in their ears.

Because there are many

potential causes of ear prob-

lems, the next step is to visit

your veterinarian for a diagno-

sis. Your veterinarian will use

an otoscope to look down into

the ear canal. Swabs of the ear

can be taken (called an ear

cytology), and examined for

bacteria, yeast, and mites. If a

bacterial infection does not

respond to the first antibiotic

therapy, a culture and sensitivi-

ty may need to be performed. A

thorough history and physical

exam may help determine if

this could be a hormonal, aller-

gic, or hereditary problem and

further diagnostic testing

would be needed.

It is important to

visit your veterinarian

promptly for a diagno-

sis and treatment if

you suspect an ear

infection. If left unat-

tended, it can become

very painful, lead to

permanently narrow

canals, or an ear hematoma.

Ear hematomas most com-

monly occur when a dog or cat

shakes its head from an ear

infection, the ear hits the top

of their head, a blood vessel in

the ear ruptures, and the loose

space under the skin will fill

up with blood. They will have

a noticeably swollen, fluid-

filled ear that is extremely

painful to the touch. The

treatment of choice for ear

hematomas is surgery.

The key to healthy ears is

early treatment and preven-

tion. Check your pets ears

weekly. A slight amount of

waxy buildup may be present in

normal ears. If your dog swims a

lot, has pendulous ears, or a his-

tory of ear disease, routine

cleaning may be recommend-

ed. Excess hair around the ear

can be clipped by your groomer

to allow more air flow. Its also

important to treat any underly-

ing condition, like allergies;

otherwise, this condition will

likely recur.

Parents and students who

want to improve grades

and classroom perform-

ance may want to look to

extracurricular activities. There

is evidence that some after-

school activities can actually

help promote better results

inside of the classroom even

helping to mediate symptoms

of Attention Deficit Hyper-

activity Disorder.

Activities like sports,

band, cheerleading, martial

arts, among other extracurricu-

lar events, can promote good

feelings about school and offer

lessons that carry over into the

classroom environment, help-

ing students become more suc-

cessful.

A study by the U.S.

Department of Education re-

vealed that students who par-

ticipate in co curricular activi-

ties are three times more likely

to have a grade point average of

3.0 or better than students who

do not participate in co curric-

ular activities. In a 2003 study

published in Sociology of

Education, researchers found

that there are positive associa-

tions between extracurricular

participation and academic

achievement. Many adoles-

cents who participate in

extracurricular activities report

higher grades, more positive

attitudes toward school and

higher academic aspirations.

Extracurricular activities

also may be able to correct

behaviors associated with bois-

terous children or those who

have been diagnosed with a

clinical medical condition,

such as ADHD. In a study

titled, The Effects of Mixed

Martial Arts on Behavior of

Male Children with Attention

Deficit Hyperactivity Dis-

order, researchers found that a

martial arts program two times

per week helped increase the

The deck is the heart ofa backyard. Its where

the family gathers for

dinner, the perfect spot for

grilling, a great place to hang

out with friends and the ideal

location for relaxing after a

long day. Whether youre

thinking of building a new

deck or your old one needsresurfacing, be sure and

choose the right decking

product: choose real wood.

Building a Deck.

Thinking of building a brand

new deck? What a great way

to enhance your backyard!

According to the 2010-2011

Cost vs. Value Report fromRemodeling magazine, home-

owners can expect to recoup

72.8 percent (on average) of

the cost of building a wood

deck vs. only 66.2 percent if

building with composites.

Deck substructures are built

using pressure-treated wood

anyway; if its strong anddurable enough to hold up

your deck, its strong enough

to actually be your decking

surface.

Pressure-treated wood is

a builder favorite and has

been the number one decking

material for decades. Its natu-

ral, real and it looks fantas-

tic.

Resurfacing a deck. If

you already have a wood deck

but its more than 20 years

old, consider a resurfacing

project. This is where the

decking surface is replaced,

while the substructure

remains. (Its always a good

idea to have a decking profes-

sional check the entire deck

for soundness.) Resurfacing is

easy, and its a great way to

refresh your outdoor living

areas without blowing your

budget.

Maintaining a deck.

Every building material

designed for outdoor use

requires maintenance; luckily,

real wood decks are very easy

to maintain. Once a year,

check your deck to see if it

needs cleaning or perhaps

another coat of sealant.

Perform the cup of water test:

if a cup of water poured on the

deck boards immediately

soaks into the wood, its time

to apply water repellant.

Why choose wood? Your

deck should mesh with your

backyard be sure your

decking material is an exten-

sion of nature, with all the

beauty, strength and durabili-

ty youd expect. Pressure-

treated wood is your most nat-

ural decking option: its easy

to find, easy to use, requires

no special tools, and its

affordable. Wood doesnt con-

duct heat like other decking

materials can, meaning no

burned feet in the summer-

time. Treated wood is imper-

vious to rot and pests and its

proven to be people- and pet-

safe.

Concerned about our

forests? Choosing wood for

any home improvement proj-ect is a very wise environmen-

tal decision. Thriving, sus-

tainably managed forests cre-

ate a healthier environment

for all of us. Choosing forest

products wood encour-

ages US landowners to keep

replanting trees; the forest

industry plants more trees

than they harvest every single

year, ensuring wood will be

around for generations to

come. Wood is one of the

only naturally renewable

building products available,

and the only energy required

to manufacture it comes from

the sun. You cant get much

more green than that.

wood deck, vi sit www.realout-

tion includes the Authentic

Deck Guide, with complete

More and more homeowners embracing a relatively new

way to shower. Walk-in, or walk-behind, showers are

door-less structures that are designed to give the show-

er a more open look. Walk-in showers are often appear larger

than more traditional showers, and those that do take up more

space do so to prevent water from spraying around the room.

Though walk-in showers do not have doors, they do employ a

glass partition to keep water in. Walk-in showers often give abathroom a more modern look, but their role is more than aes-

thetic. In fact, many seniors find it is easier to get in and out of

a walk-in shower, something that could reduce their risk of

falling and suffering an injury.

Afew things to

note about these

recipes: As much as

possible, all ingredients are

organic.

For the best flavor

and consistency, these

syrups are made to be

served warm. They will

be stiff if you serve them

straight from the refriger-ator, so set the glass jar in

a pan of hot water and

let them warm up.

Alternately, scoop out a

portion of syrup into a

small bowl and warm it

for a few seconds in the

microwave.

Store all syrups in the

refrigerator for up to two

weeks, although they proba-

bly wont last that long.A jar of homemade pan-

cake syrup makes a lovely gift.

Perhaps alongside a jar of

homemade pancake mix?

Molasses-Cinnamon Syrup

If you like a warm molassescookie, then youll love this

dark syrup. The butter adds an

irresistible glossy sheen to the

syrup while smoothing out the

sharp bite of the molasses.

Serve over this baked apple

gingerbread pancake for a realtreat.

1/2 cup demerera sugar (or

brown)

1/4 cup molasses

6 Tablespoons water

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 Tablespoon salted

butter

In a small pot,

whisk together sugar,

mo-lasses, water, and

cinnamon over medium

heat.Bring to a slow boil

and continue stirring

until ingredients are

fully incorporated.

Remove from heat

and whisk in butter.

Cool slightly. Transfer to

a jug for serving or a glass jar

for storing.

Yields: 3/4 cup syrup

Pancakes are a staple inhouseholds all around

the world. Easily pre-

pared from a few basic ingredi-

ents, pancakes can be served

throughout the day because oftheir versatility. The question

of who invented pancakes has

frequently been posed. No one

person can take credit for the

pancake, as they haveappeared throughout history

in various civilizations and

cultures. Historians say that

the first pancake-type food

may have been eaten by pre-

historic people. According to

the Food Timeline, Ancient

Romans enjoyed Alita

Dolcia, or another sweet.

This early version of the pan-

cake included milk, eggs,

flour, and sometimes honeyand fruit bits. Some of them

resembled omelets and con-

tained cheese and meat. Many

different peoples have created

and consumed their own ver-

sions of a pancake. Native

Americans created course

cornmeal Indian cakes, the

French have very thin crepes

and Germans still enjoy thick

potato pancakes. Some people

enjoy pancakes as a breakfastfood, while for others theyre a

savory dish served for lunch or

dinner. Pancakes also may be

topped with sweets and served

as a dessert. In North

America, pancakes are served

large and small and go by dif-

ferent names, including silver

dollars that are bite-sized. In

New England pancakes are

made thick and called flap-

jacks. Others refer to them as

griddlecakes. Whatever the

name, pancakes have thrived

through many centuries and

are still consumed by millions

year-round. By combining the

simple ingredients of eggs,

flour, milk and a leavening

agent, anyone can whip up a

batch of pancakes in mere

minutes.

than maple syrup and butter

melted together, but its afavorite when were making

stacked pancakes. Inspired

by Wilders Farmer Boy, I

layer piping hot, 3-inch pan-

cakes with warm buttery

maple syrup until they tower

tall, then serve them to the

kids. Nothing makes them

happier.

Its also a great way to

stretch maple syrup.

1 cup pure maple syrup2 Tablespoons water

1/4 cup salted butter

In a small pot, whisk

maple syrup and water

together and warm over a

burner.

When syrup is hot,

whisk in butter all at once.

Continue stirring over

medium low heat until butter

is melted and syrup is hot.

Pour into pitcher and serve,or make stacked pancakes.

Yields: 1 1/4 cups syrup

For Stacked Pancakes:

Keep syrup hot on the

back of the stove while you frypancakes. Place pancakes in a

913 pan and drench with

buttery maple syrup. Keep pan

in a low oven while you con-

tinue to cook pancakes. Keep

adding to the stacks and

brushing on syrup after every

addition. Serve warm.

Honey-Orange Syrup

This glistening, citrus-

infused syrup is like a beam ofsunshine in the morning.

Absolutely amazing over

cornmeal pancakes or a bowl

of fresh fruit.

1 cup organic honey

Zest of one orange

Juice of one orange

(optional: 1 Tablespoon

Grand Marnier)

Wash an orange and zest

completely ( I use a micro-

plane). Juice the orange.In a small pot, whisk

together honey and the fresh-

ly squeezed orange juice over

medium heat. Continue stir-

ring until mixture comes to aboil and the orange juice is

completely incorporated.

Remove from heat and

stir in orange zest.

Allow to cool slightly

before serving. Sauce will

thicken as it cools. Transfer to

a jug for serving or a glass jar

for storing.

Yields: 1 cup syrup

Blueberry SyrupCapitalized on the low

prices and abundance of local

blueberries to make your own

blueberry syrup. Pour it over

ice cream sundaes, cheese-

cake, yogurt, and of course,

pancakes. Buy crates of

berries, can the syrup, and

enjoy it all winter long.

Definitely bookmark the

recipe for next June, but for

now you can use frozen,thawed blueberries for a deli-

cious, tart alternative to the

sweeter syrups.

Vanilla-Rice SyrupPlenty of pure vanilla

and rich butter in this recipe

transform organic brown rice

syrup into a luxurious topping.

1 cup brown rice syrup (I use

Lundburg)

3 Tablespoons water

1 teaspoon pure vanilla

extract

2 Tablespoons salted butter

(optional: 1/2 vanilla bean,

split and seeded)In a small pot, whisk

brown rice syrup and water

together and bring to a sim-

mer over medium heat.

When syrup is hot,

remove from heat and add

vanilla and butter.

Whisk until butter is

melted and ingredients are

incorporated. Cool slightly.

Transfer to a jug for serving or

a glass jar for storing.Yields: 1 cup syrup

The drive-in movie theater was the brainchild of RichardHollingshead, Jr., an auto products sales manager at his

fathers Whiz Auto Products store. Hollingshead wanted

to combine his passion for automobiles with his love of films.

After testing different parking configurations and imitating

weather conditions in his own driveway to simulate the drive-in

movie experience, Hollingshead filed for a patent for the drive-

In theater. He received the patent on May 16, 1933. The first

drive-in was opened on June 6, 1933, in Camden, N.J. The price

of admission was $.25 for the car and each person inside. Drive-

in theaters peaked in popularity in the 1950s, when there were

roughly 5,000 drive-ins operating across the United States and

Canada. According to Drive-Ins.com, currently there are about365 drive-ins remaining in the United States and 55 in Canada.

ing visitors to the sales center

just browsing, but now that the

their favorite units. I think they

getting at Parkside, that it real-

ly is unprecedented in new

construction anywhere in

Northern New Jersey, and they
