    ecorated Easter eggs

    - bunny rabbits -

    going to Mass dec-orations - Easter lillies pres-

    ents - parties- purple colors

    these and more are all parts

    of Easter. But do we really

    know why we do it, why we

    act the way we do and dress

    the way we dress? It takes a

    lot of research to go way back

    and find the origins of Easter,

    which is celebrated in differ-

    ent ways in different coun-

    tries, but it all goes back tothe same thing, that Easter is

    a very important part of our

    lifestyles, whether we know

    it or not.

    For most of the Chris-

    tian religions, the holiday of

    Easter Sunday falls on March

    22 through April 25, depend-

    ing on how the Gregorian

    calendar corresponds to theLunar calendar for a certain

    year. It represents a time of

    year it is believed that Jesus

    Christs death by crucifixion

    and subsequent rebirth took

    place during Friday through

    Sunday. It is the end of the

    Lenten season, which takes

    place Ash Wednesday, Palm

    Saturday, Good Friday, and

    Easter Sunday. The Lenten

    season is a 46-day time thatbegins on Ash Wednesday

    and ends on Easter Sunday,

    excluding Sundays, which

    have always been a com-

    memoration of Easter Sun-

    day. The origins can be

    traced back to the footsteps

    of Jesus, who spent 40 days

    wandering in the desert

    wilderness.The last week of Lent,

    called Holy week, begins

    with the observance of

    Palm Sunday, when Christ

    made his triumphant entry

    into Jerusalem as crowds

    laid palms at his feet. Holy

    Thursday is for the Last

    Supper, which was held the

    evening before the Cruci-

    fixion or Good Friday. The

    Lenten season ends withthe resurrection of Christ.

    Even in Greek mythol-

    ogy it is told that a resurrec-

    tive symbol mentions a

    return of an underworld of

    darkness into the light of

    springtime. The Easter tradi-

    tions also have roots in the

    Jewish springtime holiday of

    Passover. 8th-Century Eng-

    lish scholar St. Bede believed

    that the name Eastre

    (Ostra or Ostern) are

    both goddesses whose festi-

    val was celebrated on the

    day of vernal or springequinox.

    Researches believe that

    Easter has its roots in pre-

    Christian faiths such as

    Pagan and Jewish, an ex-

    ample being that Easter is

    the name of the Saxon god-

    dess Eastre of spring and

    fertility. Bunnies and Easter

    eggs are both Pagan sym-

    bols of fertility and have

    been carried over to theChristian ritual. The bun-

    nies originally represented

    fertility and the colored eggs

    with their bright colors rep-

    resent spring.

    Different cultures have

    developed their own ways of

    decorating Easter eggs, as in

    Germany, where eggs were

    given to children as gifts. InGreece, crimson eggs are ex-

    changed to represent the

    blood of Christ. In parts of

    Austria, green eggs are used

    on Maundy Thursday (Holy

    Thursday). Slavic peoples

    decorate their eggs in special

    patterns of gold and silver.

    These are only some of the

    ways Easter is celebrated

    around the world, and the

    rest of the cultures would re-quire a book to partially

    complete. But no matter how

    you celebrate it, keep in

    mind the beginnings and

    what they mean to you. And

    no matter what you do

    Have A Good One!

    I have sat in many great doctors offices in my lifetime. And although the care I

    received was much appreciated, I often had to wait a very long time for my appointment.

    I would often think, the doctor did very little to respect my time and me.

    In my own cosmetic dental office I have a great deal of respect for the people who trust

    their dental care to me. In todays busy world, I know how important their time is to them.

    I am always on time for their appointments. I make sure they feel secure and safe in myoffice and I am focused on their comfort. I provide for the comfort of my patients as well as

    the family members traveling with them. I began making special coffees for my guests over

    20 years ago. To help comfort my guests, I continue to provide the most wonderful

    selection of coffees and teas and bottled water. I know how important your time is to you

    and I want you to know I truly appreciate your entrusting your dental care to my office.

    I see my patients as important, valued friends who deserve to have the best reasoned,

    the best-informed and most knowledgeable advice they can possibly get about their

    cosmetic dentistry decisions. So many of my patients have been under my care for over

    20 years. These patients are so valuable and important to me. They have continued to refer

    their friends to my care. They know I will be happy to consult with any of their friends who

    may have a question about Cosmetic Dentistry and they know I willingly offer to advise,

    talk to, or meet with anyone important to my patients, without obligation.

    The trust of my patients is very important to me.

    If your smile is important to you, and you have some concerns

    about your smile, I would like to talk to you. . . I have been creating

    naturally beautiful smiles for my patients in Wayne for over 20 years.

    Using the latest ceramic technology and my Smile Design Process, I am

    able to create naturally beautiful smiles that are both naturally beautifuland long lasting. Using the newest ceramic materials allows me to offer a

    five-year guarantee against breakage of your all-ceramic crowns,

    bridges and porcelain veneers. Provided you continue your

    regular cleanings and check-ups in our office. This

    guarantee allows you to be confident that should anything

    happen you will not have to pay for a replacement. This

    risk-free five-year guarantee is unheard of in the dental

    community.

    I am looking forward to meeting with you and

    having the opportunity to discuss your concerns about

    your smile. Call my office today and ask for your

    ohnny, put that back

    dear. No Johnny, we

    dont need that.Johnny, if you dont put that

    quarter in the machine now,

    you can save it for something

    better later. Johnny,

    Mommy says you dont need

    that toy. Johnny starts assert-

    ing himself, I want that

    toy NOW! Mommy says:

    Honey, we can go to the park

    later. Johnny screams, I

    want it now! I want it

    NOW! I WANT IT NOW!!Johnny, Mommy loves you

    the most and needs to teach

    you the value of a quarter. We

    really do not need that toynow; we need to save it for

    your college education. John

    listens intently and replies

    with, NOW, NOW, NOW,

    NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW,

    NOW, NOW, NOW! NOW!!

    NOW!!! NOW!!!! NOW!!!!!

    Mom, now in a potentially

    embarrassing situation in the

    middle of the store,says OK

    Johnny, well buy it now and

    talk more about it later.Johnny has justbeen in-

    troduced to the educational

    process of both the credit card

    generation and that of irre-

    sponsible government. Buy it

    now without the need for it or

    money to pay for it, ponder it

    and commiserate over it

    later.Pay for it later, pay for it

    twice or three times more

    later with interest; its be-

    come the American way, theway of the Federal Govern-

    ment, the lessons Congress

    and the Senate refuse to learn

    and accept until it comescrashing down upon them.

    Compounding debt is an

    amazing force that is heavier

    than air and once elevated to

    ceiling height, must come

    crashing down and when it

    does, its destructive force is

    widespread and devastating,

    enveloping individual lives

    and potentially the way of life

    of an entire society. Johnnys

    Mom got an education too.She learned how to be pushed

    around and manipulated,

    having to pay a tax to get

    out of a problem situation.

    The process of debt cre-

    ation and compilation need

    not be exacerbated by contin-

    ued foolish, unrealistic fan-

    tasy-driven policies, politics

    and politicians, Nope! You

    and I have the ability to re-

    place the people in chargewith people who have an un-

    derstanding of debits and cred-

    its, balance sheets and

    operating a business; we havethe power in the voting booth

    and a powerful position that is

    indeed; but, only ifwe use it!

    Notorious lines Ive heard in

    conversation, in print and on

    the radio recently and at nau-

    seam are: tax the rich, tax

    millionaires, they can afford it.

    Its only fair as they are not en-

    titled to that status, to have

    more than the rest of us or to

    have such surplus! To thesepeople I can only say GROW

    UP! What they are really

    saying about themselves is

    that they have no dreams and

    settle for mediocrity, why

    compete when its so easy to

    have the government pay for

    you. My dear readers, recent

    estimates are that only 40% of

    Americans pay income taxes.

    This means that the 60% who

    do not pay taxes are supportedby the 40% that do pay tax

    and if this continues the 40%

    will go on strike to be counted

    amongst the majority. Theyare bright intelligent people

    and will find creative ways to

    shift their revenue sources to

    tax-free or tax-deferred alter-

    natives. They will move their

    businesses and residences to

    other tax-advantaged or

    friendly countries, taking with

    them the fortunes that they

    created and nurtured for years.

    When they do this, and they

    will, what will be left to besaid about this once great na-

    tion? Theyll talk about the

    industrialists, the entrepre-

    neurs, the magnates, the phi-

    lanthropists, the financiers,

    the builders, the architects of

    the greatest nation that ever-

    was. Theyll talk about the

    rich business owners that cre-

    ated the largest middle class in

    the history of the world.

    Theyll talk about the stan-dard of living of a nation that

    had no parallel anywhere in

    the history of the world. But,

    that will be all, relegated to ahistory lesson in the encyclo-

    pedia called the United States

    of America, the nation who

    abandoned her greatness, who

    pushed out the people who

    made her great, who became a

    welfare state and taxed the

    rich into oblivion, a nation

    that lost her focus, lost her vi-

    sion, abandoned her mission

    and pioneering spirit to con-

    tinue the American Dream ofraising, educating and support-

    ing a family in the suburbs

    with cars and houses of their

    own, with unlimited opportu-

    nity for those willing to work

    for it. That wealth could be

    obtained, accumulated and

    passed-on to future genera-

    tions, with each income

    earner paying their FAIR

    share of taxes for the common

    good, for infrastructure, mili-tary and police protection,

    health insurance and charita-

    Jesus fulfilled four of the seven Jewish Feasts

    God said: Thou art My beloved Son, in Thee I am well-pleased.Jesus said: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him but have eternal life. should not perish, but have eternal life. JOHN 14:6 Jesus said:I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through me.

    I am a witness to this scripture: John 14:6

    Passover: New CovenantWhose blood would be

    Shed for our sins

    Unleavened Bread:This is My Body which

    is given for you

    Firstfruits:Firstfruit of those

    who are asleep

    Pentecost:Jews and Gentiles

    receive the Holy Spirit

    All over the world, Christians are preparing for one of the most holy holidays Easter and thecelebration of the Risen Christ and eternal life. For the Jews, it is preparation for Passover, or theExodus of the Jewish people from ancient Egypt and liberation from bondage. The story is

    recreated through the Passover seder (Hebrew for order) meal which explains the Exodus from Egyptand the hope that someday all people on this earth will be freed from bondage.

    In January 1987, I cut the chains of bondage that were holding me back when I surrendered my lifeand my will to God. I had just begun my career in real estate. I was broken, divorced since 1984 andwould face another divorce two years later that left me devastated and humiliated. I felt helpless. I feltalone. One night after putting my three daughters to bed, I went to my bedroom, closed the door and fellto my knees. I humbled myself to God and prayed a simple prayer: God help me. Not my will, butlet Thy will be done for me. I pray You give me the wisdom, the strength and the courageto do Thy will.

    God has been my strength throughout my life. I just wasnt putting Him in control, but I always knewHe was with me. I was seven years old the youngest daughter of Pasquale Liberatore and Filomena Capra,growing up in the small town of San Polo Matese, Provincia Di Campobasso, Italy, when Jesus revealedHimself to me in a dream. I was standing near a well with my friends when I suddenly was pushed downand had to find my way out. I remember I was frightened, but there He was -- 12-year-old Jesus standingby a carpenters bench with His father, Joseph. Josephs head was bowed, while Jesus smiled at me.

    I woke up frightened but trying to analyze this dream that had such impact. I later learned in the Bibleof the significance of the well where God spoke to Hagar, the mother of Ishmael, where Isaac met Rebeka,where Moses met his wife, where Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman. Now I was anxious to learn moreand through recurring dreams and visions that followed in years to come, I would leave my Catholicupbringing to be born again. My hunger for God led me to read the Bible and study and spread Hisword. On May 13, 1988, I was baptized in Israels Jordan River during a pilgrimage led by Paul Crouch,president of Trinity Broadcasting Network.

    One night in my sleep I heard a very soft gentle voice calling me, Rita, Rita, I started to open myeyes but I couldnt open them to well, while squinting I turned my head and there was the image of Godreflected on my armoire. The exact same image I had seen in the garden and the same One breathing

    into my mouth spoke to me and said, Rita, I Am God. I immediately sat up on my bed and said, YesGod, I will go to Israel. At that moment a peace came over me and I was no longer afraid to go Israel.ISRAEL 1988: BAPTIZED IN THE JORDAN RIVER, JESUS TAKES ME TO GOD

    Friday, May 13, 1988 we were all baptized in the Jordan River and at the end of the day, while drivingback to our hotel, the group started singing. They sounded like a choir of angels. I closed my eyes and,in a vision, I saw myself walking with Jesus in an open field, as if I were having an outer-of-bodyexperience. It was a beautiful clear day, with blue skies, lush green grass, and pure white clouds and thistime Jesus took my hand and walked me over to God. I was thinking to myself, What is He doing, Ican't touch God. Once we approached God, Jesus placed my hand in Gods hand and the three of uswere holding hands. We walked around in a circle, singing the same song the group was singing on thebus. Then Jesus released my hand and placed it in God's other hand. At this point it was just God andme going around in a circle singing, but I couldn't bring myself to look up at Him, and when I looked

    up - God was smiling at me.I saw, in my vision, two lines of people. Jesus was leading one line by the hand and I was leading the

    other line. We were all singing as we walked past God, who was standing in the middle of the two linesand - SMILING!

    JOHN 14:6Jesus said, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father,But through me.The two lines symbolize two groups: Holy Spirit filled Jews and Gentiles entering the Kingdom of God.Two loaves of leavened bread, wave offering to God on Day of Pentecost.The last three Jewish Feast will be fulfilled in the fall!

    Feast of Trumpets: Dead in Christ will rise first.Day of Atonement: We who are alive will be caught up with them in a cloud

    Feast of Tabernacle: Seven year temporary quarters during the seven year tribulation. After thewar of Armageddon, Our Lord Jesus brings us back to earth to reign with Him for one thousand years.

    A heavy burden was lifted from my life when I put God in control. Peace and joy now reign in myheart. Dont get me wrong. The hardships of life still exist, and I am able to face them with strengthfrom the Holy Spirit who dwells within me.

    Chances you're not

    one of 1,900 guests

    who have received

    an invitation to the royal

    wedding in a few weeks. But

    if you are one of the ones who

    do have plans to attend a

    wedding this spring or sum-

    mer, then you are probably

    wondering what you are goingto wear. "White tails" may

    not be the choice of many

    like the royal British couple,

    but you still have certain

    "protocol" to keep in mind.

    "A wedding is the rite

    wrapped in a party. Dress to

    honor the former, dress up for

    the latter," says Kimberly

    Bonnell, author of "What to

    Wear" (St. Martin's Griffin,

    $12.95).Here are Bonnell's

    "rules" for dressing for that

    special occasion that we all

    love to dread. "Guests grant

    the bride and groom the illu-

    sion of carnal innocence on

    their wedding day," says Bon-

    nell. "Even if it promises to be

    a wild gala, don't go looking

    overtly carnal yourself."

    OK, so you're going to

    have to dress up. So what do

    you wear?

    Rule No. 1: Yes, you CAN

    wear white to a wedding.

    "You can wear white, just

    don't look bridal," says Bon-

    nell. Here are some of her

    ideas: Wear white linen or

    techno-nylon sheath dresses

    with bare black heels.

    In other words, steer

    clear of romantic looks and go

    for more contemporary andchic looks. Or opt for a white,

    wool flannel suit with bare

    heels. Or choose a white

    techno-nylon knee-length

    skirt with a black cashmere

    tank top and bare silver heels.

    White menswear trousers,

    metallic tops and bare heels

    are also acceptable "wedding"

    attire.

    Bare heels are a necessity.

    "Time out for a definition,"says Bonnell. "Bare shoes

    means strappy sandals, mules,

    slingbacks, slides, d'orsay

    pumps, open toes. With pants

    and even gowns, bare flats

    can look just as compelling as

    heels, but they're best not

    worn with shorter hemlines

    for a dressy event. Bare heels

    make a pants outfit look sexy

    and celebratory."

    OK, you can wear black,

    too. "Just don't look fune-

    real," says Bonnell. "How?

    Show some skin. Bare arms,

    neckline or back swing black

    from somber to festive." She

    adds: "Picture a black slip

    dress or a sheath, not a but-

    toned-up black suit; bare

    black heels, not plain black

    pumps; or a black sleeveless

    shell, not a black long-sleeve

    turtleneck."Bonnell suggests wearing

    a black slip dress or a sheath,

    not a buttoned-up black suit.

    You can wear bare black heels

    with a black sleeveless shell,

    not a black long-sleeve turtle-

    neck.

    For a daytime wedding:

    Short, knee-length, mid-calf

    hemlines or even ankle-

    length are just fine if the in-vitation says "formal,"

    according to Bonnell. But be

    careful about wearing pants.

    "Tux pants, black crepe or

    velvet, white, gray or black

    flannel trousers (not gabar-

    dine -- too businesslike) worn

    with sexy, bare heels and a

    stellar top like a taffeta party

    blouse, modest halter, se-

    quined or beaded shell."

    Wear low-octane jewelry.Concentrate on "day" pieces

    not gem glarers. Pair standout

    jewelry with a white cotton

    shirt tucked into a knee-

    length, beaded chiffon skirt.

    For evening weddings: You

    can get away with "anything

    under daytime ... knee-length

    hemlines are fine, as long as

    nothing is overtly "dressy" or

    "daywear." Avoid anklelengths and pant tuxedos.

    TRUE OR FALSE

    1. Smoking is not a risk factor

    for low back pain.

    FALSE: Surprising as it sounds,

    smoking can be a predisposing

    factor to back pain. Not only

    does smoking promote a seden-

    tary lifestyle incongruous with

    health and wellness, research

    published in the respected med-

    ical journal SPINE suggests

    smoking may:

    accelerate breakdown of the

    spinal discs

    reduce blood flow to the ver-

    tebral bodies, thus inhibiting

    oxygen supply and nutrition to

    the discs

    compromise muscular en-

    durance, thus promoting faster

    fatigue of back and postural

    muscles, leaving them more

    prone to injury

    be associated with anxiety and

    depression, which in turn mayfoster and exacerbate back pain.

    2. Early morning is the best

    time of day to exercise.

    FALSE: Although early morn-

    ing exercise may be one's pref-

    erence, and despite the fact

    some studies suggest greater aer-

    obic benefit is gained by exer-

    cising at this time of day,

    exercising within the first two

    hours of awakening has been

    shown to be detrimental to

    maintaining a healthy back and

    spine. The reasons for this are

    twofold: firstly, the body's nerv-

    ous system, upon awakening, is

    sluggish, causing the muscles to

    be slow to react to any type of

    physical exertion. According

    to Dr. Janda, a world leader in

    musculoskeletal medicine, mus-

    cle spindles in the early morn-

    ing remain "sleeping" and may

    be disassociated from the nerv-

    ous system for up to two hours.

    Secondly, three times as much

    pressure is exerted on spinal

    discs in early morning than atany other time of day. This

    stress is transferred to the liga-

    ments of the spine which be-

    come overloaded by as much as

    30%. The combination of

    these two effects greatly in-

    crease the risk of back injury in

    the short term, and degenera-

    tive disc disease (osteoarthritis)

    in the long term.

    Tommy is a 3 year-old

    who walks into The

    Kids Therapy Center

    waiting room on his tip toes.

    His mother is quite con-

    cerned. She reports that

    Tommy started walking at the

    expected time, but has always

    walked on his tiptoes. His

    mom reports their family

    thought it was cute in the be-

    ginning, but now that he will

    be entering pre- school, she is

    worried he may get teased.

    She also explains that Tommy

    frequently drags his feet and

    trips. This makes it difficult

    for him to keep up with his

    friends on the playground.

    Tommys mom asks, Is this

    normal? What causes this and

    can we do anything to help

    him?

    When a child walks on

    his tiptoes once in a while it

    should be considered typical

    behavior and does not warrant

    further evaluation. Some-

    times toe walking can repre-

    sent the childs natural

    curiosity for a different type of

    walking. Children may do it

    off and on just to experience

    something different. They fre-

    quently receive admiring

    looks from their family at

    their excellent coordination

    and skill. Little girls who are

    planning on being the next

    Sugar Plum Fairy are more

    likely to continue this type of

    walking.

    In addition, there is an-

    other time when toe walking

    is considered normal. It is

    common for children to walk

    on their toes while taking

    their first steps between the

    ages of 10 to 18 months.

    However, if toe walking per-

    sists past this age, the child

    should be evaluated.

    There are many reasons chil-

    dren walk on their toes. The

    most common are:

    Poor flexibility of the mus-

    cles surrounding the ankles (heel

    cords) can cause the child to

    be more comfortable on his or

    her toes. If your child has ex-

    perienced a sudden and rapid

    growth spurt, the bones can

    grow more rapidly than the

    muscles causing tight or

    inflexible muscles.

    Increased muscle tone

    caused by a neurological or

    neuromuscular disorder can

    result in toe walking.

    A poorly functioning

    vestibular system. (the system

    that gives the brain feedback

    about the position of the body in

    space and its motion.) Chil-

    dren who have difficulty inte-

    grating the sensory input from

    their environment may walk

    on their toes. They may feel

    more stable this way.

    Children with low muscle

    tone (hypotonia) may feel the

    need to stabilize their body by

    walking on their toes. Since

    children with hypotonia often

    have joint laxity, they tense

    the ankle muscles in order to

    create stability, thus resulting

    in toe walking.

    Idiopathic toe walking (toe

    walking of unknown origin) is

    diagnosed when the childs

    toe walking is of unknown

    origin.

    Once the root cause of

    toe walking is determined by

    a pediatrician or neurologist,

    an evaluation by a skilled pe-

    diatric physical therapist

    should take place. Depending

    on the cause of the toe walk-

    ing each approach for treat-

    ment can be different, but

    some commonalities do exist.

    (excluding children with

    moderate to severe neurologi-

    cal diagnoses and neuromus-

    cular diagnoses. The

    treatment approach is differ-

    ent for these children.) A rig-

    orous stretching program

    performed during PT sessions

    and carried over in the home/

    school environment should be

    implemented. Strengthening

    exercises that decrease muscu-

    lar imbalance and facilitate

    the use of the postural muscles

    that flex the foot up should be

    performed. Proprioceptive

    exercises that retrain the

    brains awareness of where the

    body is in space are very useful

    in treating/ preventing toe

    walking. Teaching the child

    how to walk/run in a proper

    heel- toe progression is also

    imperative for success. De-

    pending on the childs range

    of motion of the ankle joint

    the therapist may recommend

    the use of one or a combina-

    tion of the following:

    Serial casting. This involves

    wearing a cast for 1to 2 weeks

    that stretch the tight muscles

    and increases ankle motion.

    A series of casts are often re-

    quired to attain optimal re-

    sults.

    Braces or Ankle Foot Or-

    thoses are worn during the day

    to increase the flexibility of

    the ankle and prevent toe

    walking

    Night splints are worn dur-

    ing sleeping hours and help

    stretch the muscles of the leg.

    In conclusion, toe walk-

    ing is a fairly common prob-

    lem that when treated

    appropriately almost always

    resolves. However, it is cru-

    cial that the benign causes of

    toe walking are separated from

    the more serious causes and

    appropriate treatment is not

    delayed. As benign as idio-

    pathic toe walking may seem,

    it can result in a less than op-

    timal quality of life for some

    children. It can cause fre-

    quent tripping, delay of gross

    motor skills, poor body aware-

    ness and muscular imbalances

    that if left untreated, can be-

    come contractures. Please

    contact your pediatric physi-

    cal therapist to evaluate your

    child for this condition.

    Conventional wisdom

    states that there are

    four main underlying

    causes for canine allergy

    symptoms, and effective dog

    allergies treatment have been

    developed for them. As all of

    those reasons produce com-

    mon symptoms, various tests

    may be necessary to deter-

    mine which allergen is pro-

    voking a reaction. Standard

    methods of treatment are suc-

    cessful in controlling most

    cases. Some especially severe

    conditions may require the

    use of steroids or im-

    munotherapy.

    The two most common

    causes of allergic reactions are

    atopic, or inhalants, mainly

    dust mites, pollen, mold and

    mildew, and allergens that are

    present in flea saliva. The

    symptoms of an allergy are

    most commonly caused from

    inhaling an antigen, or a sub-

    stance which causes the pro-

    duction of antibodies. Studies

    show that in excess of 40 per-

    cent of canines react to the

    offending substances in flea

    bites.

    Reasons that more rarely

    produce responses are aller-

    gies to food or of the skin.

    The foods that are most likely

    to cause symptoms are the

    same foods that are the most

    common ingredients in com-

    mercial food recipes. Certain

    fungal infections, that is,

    mange or ringworm, should

    be ruled out if they are sus-

    pected. Skin conditions that

    originate from exposure to

    noxious substances are irri-

    tant or allergic contact der-

    matitis. These rare conditions

    are responses to irritating

    chemicals or other antigens.

    Complicating a specific

    diagnosis as to exactly what

    antigens are to blame, is the

    fact that the same symptoms,

    itching and skin problems,

    characterize the different

    types of disorders. Vomiting

    and diarrhea may indicate a

    food allergy, and continuing

    ear problems or increased

    bowel movements are other

    possible signs. A food trial, in

    which the pet is placed on a

    novel food diet for twelve

    weeks, is the method used to

    isolate the food responsible.

    Avoidance of the aller-

    gen is a common strategy to

    reduce symptoms for food,

    flea, atopic and skin prob-

    lems. By removing and then

    reintroducing suspected aller-

    gens one at a time, one may

    discover the cause. Restrict-

    ing ones pet to a clean, uncar-

    peted room and keeping them

    away from possible allergens

    is called an exclusion trial.

    Slowly introducing possible

    causes, including rubbing a

    substance such as grass on the

    paw, will help to identify it.

    The first step one can

    take is to add Omega-3 fatty

    acids to their pets diet. This is

    fish or flax oil and

    they assist in reducing

    the effects of hista-

    mines, which are re-

    sponsible for the

    itching and skin con-

    ditions. If the fatty

    acids do not take ef-

    fect in a few weeks,

    antihistamine drugs,

    originally designed for hu-

    mans, can also work for ca-

    nines.

    Topical therapy, which

    involves treating the pets skin

    with anti itch ointments,

    shampoos, rinses or sprays

    often have good results, but

    these offer temporary relief.

    Shampoos containing hydro-

    cortisone are also used. Bi-

    otin, a B vitamin, has also

    shown positive results for

    some pets.

    When none of the above

    methods are adequate for dog

    allergies treatment, steroids

    produce good results, but are

    not recommended for long

    term use, because immune or

    endocrine system problems

    may develop over time. Im-

    munotherapy, involving al-

    lergy skin testing and a series

    of injections, is a highly suc-

    cessful approach for most an-

    imals. This therapy takes a

    dedicated pet owner, but re-

    sults in significantly reduced

    reactions to allergens.

    Dr. Matthew Krupnick is the

    owner of the Pequannock Ani-

    mal Hospital. He grew up in

    and two dogs, to provide quali-

    ty and compassionate care for

    Not all automotive

    detailing services

    are the same. Some

    are simply glorified car washes

    that let harsh chemi-

    cals do most of the

    work which can

    harm your paints fin-

    ish over time. Ziebart

    takes a more hands-

    on approach to our

    professional detailing

    through our trained

    technicians.

    Ziebart uses ex-

    clusive products and special-

    ized equipment to give you

    results you cant get at home

    or anywhere else.

    How do we clean and

    protect your vehicle: We

    hand wash the exterior to

    completely remove all dirt

    and residue. Then we ma-

    chine polish the paint which

    removes oxidized and faded

    paint to bring out your vehi-

    cle's maximum shine. We

    meticulously clean and detail

    all chrome, trim, wheels, tires

    and glass. Finally we apply an

    extended protection sealant

    to lock in the shine. We can

    also do high speed polishing

    for minor and sometimes

    major scratch and

    mark removal as well

    as other upgraded de-

    tailing services. Reg-

    ular detailing can

    keep your vehicle

    looking new for as

    long as you own it.

    Don't settle for car

    wash spray wax, get

    your vehicle profes-

    sionally detailed by the ex-

    perts at Ziebart.

    Ziebart is located at 90

    Advanced Center for Injuryand Wellness Care

    Approximately 1 year ago I went to Dr. Favawith severe pain in my lower back. An MRIshowed that I had herniated disks at L2-L3 and

    L5-51. The pain was so bad, there were times Isat on my stairs sliding down on my butt onestair at a time just to get down. Dr Favadiscussed the DRX table with me and I decidedto give it a try hoping to avoid surgery down theroad. After just a few sessions I could see and

    feel a difference. After about 4 weeks, I can seea significant difference and will not need surgery.

    I would recommend this treatment to anyone.The DRX9000 has given me back my life! I amback to normal activities and have no more pain.

    I would encourage anyone to consult withDr. Fava and try the DRX9000.

    What makes a good outdoor

    toy?

    Outdoor toys need to be

    well made. Not only do they

    need to stand-up to rough and

    tumble kid treatment, theyneed to be able to survive all

    types of weather. Outdoor toys

    should also have rounded cor-

    ners to help prevent scrapes and

    cuts that go hand-in-hand with

    outdoor fun. The PlasmaCar is

    very durable and can handle a

    load of up to 100 kg (220 lbs)

    on a smooth, flat surface, and

    55 kg (120 lbs) on a rough, flat

    surface. Not only will it handle

    the daily abuse at the hands ofyour children, but it's so durable

    that parents can have fun rid-

    ing it too. Its colorful designs

    endear it to kids and its

    rounded curves, seat and steer-

    ing wheel will help reduce sum-

    mer bumps and bruises.

    Q

    : We have a tiny apart-

    ment in an old brown-

    stone. The nice thing

    is, we have a fireplace. But wealso have a large-screen TV. We

    tried putting the TV over the

    mantel, but that didn't work.

    Any other suggestions?

    A: According to architect

    John Connell's research in his

    book, "Creating the Inspired

    House" (the Taunton Press),

    there are two classic solutions

    to the problem. One: Find a

    logical way to integrate the

    fireplace and the TV in thesame space. Two: Find another

    spot altogether to designate as

    the entertainment area.

    The first solution is

    nicely illustrated in the pic-

    tured small living room, whichis arranged to accommodate

    both the hearth and a large-

    screen television. Setting the

    furniture at right angles allows

    one to watch TV and/or simul-

    taneously stare into the flames

    dancing on the hearth.

    Swiveling club chairs offer the

    same freedom of choice.

    In fact, there are several

    other entertainment choices

    in the room, which are neatlydesigned into what is essen-

    tially limited space. Prefer to

    read? The floor-to-ceiling

    shelves hold a wealth of books.

    Rather socialize with friends?

    Note the small bar in the fore-

    ground.

    Want the entertainment

    center off on its own? It's a

    smart way to corral all the

    etceteras of today's media,

    such as CDs and outgoingNetflix. Best of all, as Connell

    points out, "Such dedicated

    media rooms can fit nicely

    into those windowless areas

    that otherwise might be

    wasted space. ... "

    Q: Ready to return to the coun-

    try (look)?

    A: It's ready for you, at least

    judging from the showrooms at

    the High Point Furniture Mar-

    ket in N.C. Epicenter of theworld's home furnishings in-

    dustry, the market attracts

    thousands of visitors from

    some 110 countries every

    April and October. They come

    to see what's new, exciting and

    profitable -- they hope -- to

    home decorators around the

    world.

    Provided they looked in

    the right places, home decora-

    tors saw a newly nascent

    American country look, bur-

    geoning after a decade of de-votion to the dark woods and

    square corners of mid-century

    modern.

    Chief exponent of the

    retro movement is iconic de-

    signer Raymond Waites, the

    multifaceted creative force be-

    hind the American country

    look the first-time around in

    the 1970s. Waites, who was

    then working with Marimekko

    in Finland, said at the timethat he felt a "stirring" in the

    followers during the next two

    decades or so.Now comes "New Amer-

    ica, Coming Home," which

    features George Washington's

    desk, Betsy Ross' stars-and-

    stripes-strewn wingback chair,

    and buffalo nickel and Indian-

    head penny motifs on nail-

    head trims. Made by Guild

    Master, a furniture company

    based in Springfield, Mo., the

    collection is designed, Waites

    says, to put us back in touch

    with our roots as a nation and

    "to re-enforce our connection

    with what it means to be

    American."

    Even the French -- who

    famously supported theColonies' fight against the

    British -- are paying homage

    to the United States. A lead-

    ing manufacturer of French

    antique reproductions, French

    Heritage introduced the

    Fontenay Betsy Ross com-

    mode decked out in stars and

    stripes as well as the James

    Madison Louis commode with

    the Constitution, beginning

    with a bold "We the People"

    written in gold script across its

    upper drawers.

    To quote U.S.-born

    French Heritage vice presi-

    dent Henessy Wayser, "We are

    Americans! And we should

    put it out there that we are not

    all about war!"

    More flag-waving from

    High Point will be featured in

    the next column.

    After a challenging

    winter including

    floods, record snows

    and countless delays, Solar &

    More opened its doors to the

    public for the first time. Thestore will sell, design, finance,

    install and maintain solar elec-

    tric, solar heat and hot water,

    and geo-thermal heating and

    cooling systems to residential

    and commercial customers.

    They will also have a large va-

    riety of energy efficient prod-

    ucts, including LED lighting,

    all targeted at helping con-

    sumers lower their energy

    costs.

    Its been a long time

    from concept to opening, but

    weve been diligent in our ef-forts to get this store open says

    Tom Ferraro, President and

    long-time Kinnelon resident.

    Weve created a model unlike

    anything else. Weve com-

    bined three major renewable

    energy systems with energy ef-

    ficient products in a retail

    learning environment. We be-

    lieve this will take the mystery

    out of these systems for con-

    sumers wanting clean and effi-

    cient alternatives to the high

    cost of fossil fuel energy.

    Ferraro goes on to saythe store is different than

    other solar companies in that

    it is, in fact, a retail store!

    Were all consumers, and when

    you make a major purchase,

    you want to get personal treat-

    ment as opposed to buying

    something over the phone or

    via the internet. The store is a

    trusting environment where

    you can go to see what youre

    buying and the people yourebuying it from. In this age of

    fast paced selling from telemar-

    keters and internet sales, we

    believe the brick and mortar

    concept still works.

    Solar & More has also in-

    corporated a Solar Certified

    Installation Team under its

    umbrella. Executive Vice-

    President of Operations, Ray

    DiRussa, says Our installation

    team is headed by Paul Zensky,a NABCEP Certified Solar In-

    staller (NABCEP is the Solar

    Industry association assuring

    experienced and trained pro-

    fessionals for solar installa-

    tions). Paul will oversee all

    jobs to be sure theyre in ac-

    cordance with all applicable

    regulations relative to solar in-

    stallations, as well as Solar &

    Mores high standards of qual-

    ity and customer service.Paul has over 8 years experi-

    ence and has completed over

    200 installations, including

    large and small commercial,

    industrial and residential.

    Most people know

    that a hamburger is

    a juicy patty of

    cooked ground meat served on

    a bun with a variety of top-

    pings. What is not as well

    known is just how this beloved

    food became as popular as it is

    today.

    Despite illusions to the

    contrary, a hamburger is notmade of ham. In most in-

    stances, the term is used to de-

    scribe a beef patty. Although

    burgers have been made from

    turkey, ostrich, bison, and

    even alligator, very rarely are

    they made from pork prod-

    ucts.

    The term "hamburger" is

    actually a misnomer. The

    name was derived from Ham-

    burg, Germany, where thefood was thought to originate.

    Just as the frankfurter is a food

    from Frankfurt.

    The hamburger evolved

    from another dish that was

    named the "Hamburg Steak."

    Immigrants traveling

    from Hamburg to New

    York were treated to the

    tastes of home on

    the shores of

    America with

    a HamburgSteak. This

    was essentially

    a dish of salted

    and spiced beef.

    It bears little re-

    semblance to the ham-

    burger of today. Shredded beef

    that was seasoned with re-

    gional spices - either cooked

    or served raw - became the

    Hamburg Steak that Germans

    enjoyed to reconnect to theirhomeland.

    Eventually the Hamburg

    Steak caught on and was in-

    cluded as a menu item at

    many American restaurants in

    t h e

    19th century. Surprisingly, it

    was served as a breakfast food.

    Dr. James Salisbury in-

    vented his own take on the

    Hamburg Steak at about thistime, serving it as a lunch or

    dinner food with gravy.
