When it comes to cos-

metic surgery, Dr.

Jeffrey Wise knows

that less is more. This facial plas-tic and reconstructive surgeon is

using emerging technologies that

are less invasive, less risky, and

less extreme, while giving patients

more options with more natural-

looking results.

Gone are the days of the

one-size-fits-all facelift, said Dr.

Wise, who has dedicated his

career exclusively to enhancing

the face, head and neck, having

performed over 4,000 faceliftingand eyelid procedures. When it

comes to facial rejuvenation,

were now using a combination of

incremental procedures that offer

quick recoveries and long-lasting

solutions.

This multi-faceted approach

requires Dr. Wise to tackle the

three components of aging: sag-

ging tissue, volume loss, and loss

of skin quality and elasticity.

Using the right combination ofnon-invasive and minimally inva-

sive treatments, he can create

beautiful subtle changes that help

maintain harmony in the face.

The facelift is still the most effec-

tive solution for sagging tissue. Dr.

Wise will typically combine this

with fat transfer, using the bodys

own fat cells to add volume and

eliminate fine lines and wrinkles.

He finishes with a laser rejuvena-

tion procedure to stimulate colla-gen production and improve skin

elasticity.

Based on Dr. Wises vast

knowledge and experience, the

Wise Signature Lift was developed

to address facial rejuvenation with

a global approach. The Wise Lift

is comprised of multiple proce-

dures including facelifting, fat

transfer, fractionated CO2 laser

skin resurfacing, and upper and

lower eyelid procedures (ble-pharoplasty). When performed

concurrently, these procedures

target the primary symptoms of an

aging face: loose skin, fine lines

and wrinkles, brown spots, fatty

deposits and loose skin around the

eyes, and lost volume in the

cheeks and folds.

The ultimate in facial rejuve-

nation, the Wise Signature Lift is

a multi-faceted comprehensive

technique developed and per-formed exclusively for the

patients of Dr. Wise. He has found

that combining these procedures

is an ideal and convenient way to

achieve patients aesthetic goals.

Individuals have discovered that

combining procedures into a sin-

gle surgery allows for minimal

downtime and unparalleled

results.

Since the eyes are often the

first to show signs of aging,women and men in their 30s and

40s are proactively undergoing an

eyelid procedure to stave off the

aging process. Frequently, people

are coming for eyelid surgery long

before they would ever consider a

face lift, says Dr. Wise, who adds

that when done properly, an eye-

lid procedure will last decades.

Dr. Wise practices in Wayne

and has performed thousands of

facelifts and eyelid procedures. Heis also a double board-certified

facial plastic and reconstructive

surgeon who underwent his train-

ing at some of our countrys finest

institutions, specifically Yale,

Cornell and the University of

Pennsylvania . He shares his

Presidential elections are

over! Obamacare is here

to stay! Fiscal Cliff is on

the horizon! Recession rear-

ing! Inflation looming!Anemic interest rates linger!

Lousy stock markets persist!

Federal deficit increasing!

Short sales and foreclosures

mounting! Massive unemploy-

ment continues! Hurricane

Sandy aftermath: no power, no

internet, no TV, no phones, no

heat, no school no gas, no

patience, no paychecks, no

fun, no kiddingwow! This

makes me dizzy.

Hurricane winds, earth-

quakes, fallen trees and otherbad news got you down? Feel

like you cant get off this train

or merry-go-round ride? Do

you feel like throwing up?

These last few weeks have

been rather grating on the

nerves. Even without power or

a working cable line for more

than 12 days, the headlines

listed above keep reverberating

in my head. Over the course of

Sandy, my smartphone was my

only link to the outside world.

The Charnet world was tem-porarily one of Monopoly,

Scrabble, Banana-Grams and

Gin Rummy, which replaced

the normal activities of inter-

active video gaming murder

and mayhem, DVDs and

homework. After a few days

our family got accustomed to

using the bathroom in the

dark, wearing jackets indoors

and spending most of our time

together in one room (the one

with the fireplace!). The smell

of gasoline permeated ourhome, as did the fumes from

the generator.

When my kids pulled up

to the gas pumps, the question

of cash or credit was replaced

with Fill up your tank or your

gas cans? With a $40 limit, it

was simply one or the other.

And though it was aggravating

and frustrating waiting for

JCP&L and Optimum to

show-up, we realized that we

were truly blessed. With no

injuries, no property loss and agenerator at hand, we were

considered among the fortu-

nate. Those around us did not

possess a generator, nor did

they have a multitude of

licensed children to go to the

gas pumps simultaneously to

wait three hours for a drop or

two of gas. As they waited in

line, I went to the hardware

store for a 25 foot piece of plas-

tic tubing to siphon our vehi-cles if it came to that. A 100-

foot extension cord from

Lowe's cost $89 plus tax and I

had to buy two. When added

to the existing ones, it

stretched 1,000 feet around

and through my home.

In NJ, 33 people perished

from the east coast storm of the

century named Sandy. The

Jersey shore was smashed with

property losses in the billions,but more than that, irreplace-

able mementos, pictures, col-

lectibles and heirlooms, furni-

ture and entire homes were

gone, swallowed up by the

Atlantic. Most of us in the

Wayne area lost a little time, a

week or two without pay, and

saw our blood pressure rise

when waiting on the power

company as well as the inter-

net provider. But by compari-

son to our brethren south and

east of us, we lost very little.

With our focus off Sandy, we

are ready to refocus on the

headlines once again.

Back to the quest of financial

independence:

Maximizing our income

today while simultaneously

preserving, protecting and per-petuating our wealth for

tomorrow! We can return to

the mission of eliminating,

avoiding and deferring income

taxes in addition to preparing

for the effects of the fiscal

cliff brought on by the elimi-

nation of tax reductions, the

increase in income tax rates

and the addition of the

Obamacare tax levies, along

with the mandatory cuts inentitlement and military

spending. Some experts predict

increases in unemployment,

decreases in stock prices,

reductions in credit availability

and more volatility in both the

domestic and foreign stock

markets. As we have all wit-

nessed firsthand, regardless of a

hurricane or portfolio plan-

ning, the seven P's prevail:

The tooth contains the

pulp (nerve) in the

center, which is made

up of nerves and blood vessels.

It provides feeling, as well as

new cells that repair the tooth.

Diseases of this area are hid-

den inside the tooth, diag-

nosed by symptoms, special

tests, and X-rays. Injury to the

pulp can cause pulpitis, which

causes sensitivity to different

degrees.

Injury to the dental pulp

causes changes that build upover time and destroy the

nerve. Most of the time it is

caused by deep tooth decay

(bacteria), deep fillings,

cracked teeth, broken fillings,

or trauma. If it is a mild injury,

inflammation will occur and

many times the pulp will

repair itself. The tooth will be

sensitive to hot and cold

things, but this should go away

in a short period of time. If a

long-standing injury is leftwithout treatment, the tooths

pulp will die. Sometimes the

pulp dies without any symp-

toms and may only be detected

if the tooth breaks, turns dark,

or shows up on an X-ray.

Reversible pulpitis is mild

inflammation and is capable of

healing when treated by a den-

tist. Symptoms and signs

include:

1. Sensitivity to cold, sweets, and

sometimes heat2. Pain stops in a few seconds

3. Pain is short and sharp but

doesnt occur by itself

4. Pain caused by extreme tem-

peratures, not mild ones

Irreversible pulpitis is not

capable of healing; the tooths

pulp dies and infection soon

follows. Symptoms include:

1. Lingering pain from hot or

cold

2. Initial sharp pain to cold or hot

3. Pain from mild temperatures

4. A dull ache or throbbing pain

5. Spontaneous pain that wakes

you up at night or when you lie

down6. Swollen face

Part 4 of this series will

conclude with diagnosis and

treatment.

Tax planning may seem

too difficult in the

current political and

economic environment. But

reviewing your tax situation

before the end of2012 will

position you to act quickly

when the timing is right.

Some rules that applied

when you prepared your 2011

federal income tax return

have expired, others are

expected to expire at the end

of this year and new provi-

sions are slated to begin in

2013. Here are a few tax

strategies to consider as year-

end 2012 approaches.

Review options for accelerat-

ing income

The idea of paying feder-

al and state income tax early

may make you wince, but hav-

ing a plan in place in case pay-

ing now results in saving later

is still a good idea. One rea-

son: Some methods of pulling

income from 2013 into 2012

require time time you may

not have if you wait until the

last minute.

For instance, say a viable

tax planning strategy involves

taking a payroll bonus from

your business at year-end. You

might choose to do this to

take advantage of the current

reduced rate of 4.2 percent for

the employee portion of social

security tax, which expires on

December 31, 2012. Perhaps

your goal is to lower the

amount of your 2013 income

that will be subject to either

the 3.8 percent or 0.9 percent

Medicare surtaxes taking

effect next year. Or maybe you

want additional earned

income so you can increase

your retirement plan contri-

bution.

Timing matters if youre

thinking of another tax plan-

ning move: distributing a div-

idend from your corporation

this year, while the maximum

tax rate for qualified dividends

is 15 percent.

Retirement accounts also

offer opportunities for acceler-

ating income into 2012. If you

turned 70 this year and you

expect to be subject to higher

taxes in 2013, it may make

sense to take your initial

required minimum distribu-

tion by December 31 instead

of waiting until next April.

Remember, too, that you

can withdraw funds without

penalty from traditional IRAs

beginning at age 59-1/2. In

some cases, penalty excep-

tions apply when youre under

age 59-1/2.

Converting your tradi-

tional IRA to a Roth also

increases income in 2012. You

can put this strategy in place

now, because it comes with an

added benefit: you can change

your mind later, even after the

Tax-cutting time isticking away By Robert Sokoloff, CPA

beginning of the year.

Roth conversions pro-

vide future-year tax breaks,

too. Unlike traditional IRAs,

withdrawals from Roth

accounts are not mandatory.

When you do choose to take

them, they are not subject to

the new 3.8 percent Medicare

surtax, nor are they included

in figuring the taxable amount

of your social security benefits.

Regular income tax plan-

ning is only one factor in the

decision to increase current-

year income.

The alternative mini-

mum tax (AMT) is another.

The last annual AMT patch

expired at the end of 2011 and

youll want to understand your

exposure based on current

rules.

Dont overlook less obvious

income

At this point in 2012,

you have a fairly complete pic-

ture of your income for the

year from sources such as

salary, retirement plan distri-

butions, and dividends. The

total of those, combined with

other predictable income

items, provides a good starting

point for tax planning one

youll want to augment by

thinking about less obvious

additions to income.

An example is taxable

capital gains distributed by

mutual funds. These differ

from the gain you recognize

when you sell mutual fund

shares you own. Capital gain

distributions from funds occur

when a fund manager makes a

profit selling investments the

fund owns. Those gains are

passed to shareholders, and

you generally have no control

over the timing. The distrib-

uted gains are taxable even if

you reinvest them in addition-

Theres another great

debate about the

feline as a pet besides

the declawing issue. This

great debate concerns allow-

ing the feline to roam out-

doors versus living indoors.

Should you allow your cat

to roam outdoors? Lets find

out.

Outdoor Felines

Cats are essentially

wild creatures, and they

have always loved the out-

doors. What feline owner

hasnt watched his cat loll

in a patch of sunshine on a

winter day, or roll content-

edly in the dirt in its own

backyard? Cats do love the

sunshine, the outdoors, and

the fresh air. However, out-

door cats are susceptible to

more diseases, more injuries,

and more health problems.

Outdoor cats may tussle

with other cats, catch para-

sites or other diseases, or be

hit by a car or caught by

other predators. They can

also be poisoned by pesti-

cides, antifreeze left unat-

tended, or other toxins. They

can cause problems with

neighbors by using their

yards as a cat box. Outdoor

cats simply arent as safe as

indoor cats.

Indoor Felines

Indoor cats live longer,

healthier lives. Studies prove

it and common sense dictates

it. Indoor cats have many

advantages outdoor cats cant

hope to have. Outdoor cats

live on an average of 3 to 5

years, while indoor cats live

an average of 12 years or

more. My last indoor cats

lived to be 19 and nearly 21.

Indoor cats enjoy safety

and comfort. They are safe

from diseases that feral cats

may carry and outdoor cats

pick up. They are safe from

cat fights, cars, and preda-

tors. And, indoor cats wont

harm other wildlife, such as

birds and small animals.

Alternatives

There are many alterna-

tives to the outdoor lifestyle.

When kittens first come

home, they should be

kept indoors. If your

cats miss their outdoor

excursions, you might

try to train them to

wear a harness and

walk on a leash.

They will still be

able to enjoy the

outdoors, but much more

safely.

Another alternative is

to create a safe outdoor

area or run where the cats

can go outside but cannot

escape the area. There are

many outdoor runs avail-

able now that connect to a

cat door and allow the cat

access to a run on a patio or

in a backyard.

You can also allow the

cat outdoors on a patio or

deck when you are outdoors,

and only for a short time. Or,

you can use a carrier to take

your kitty for walks in the

sunshine.

Keeping kitty indoors

will keep it healthy, happy,

and free of infectious diseases

it might catch outside. Each

pet owner is responsible for

his own pets health and

well-being. Keeping kitty

inside is the choice that

makes sense.

Over the past few

years, how many

times have you

heard or asked that question?

In Northern New Jersey, its

starting to become as com-

mon as Hello! People who

come into my store are always

asking me about backup

power solutions. After the

severe power outages that we

have suffered through last

year with the blizzards, floods

and hurricanes, the question

has been How do we keep

our power on?

Up until last week, I was

dismissing last year as an

anomaly. Well, the anomaly

is becoming a pattern. While

not a gambler, I do know and

believe a rule of gambling: If

something happens twice, its

a streak. Well, here we are

after the second straight year

of prolonged power outages. I

dont know whats

causing weather

changes, but I do

know something has

increased the severity

of our weather. More

multiple-day outages

are to be expected.

There are two prac-

tical solutions. Both

include gaining inde-

pendence from the

utilities, thus reducing

our dependence on

them as a reliable

power source. The first solu-

tion is to install a standby

power generator. Running off

natural gas or propane, this

solution can satisfy at least

your most critical require-

ments for power. In most

cases of severe weather, a

generator allows families to

continue to go about their

daily routines of showering,

cooking, heating, cooling and

Many people harbor

strong opinions

with regard to

which type of Christmas tree

they want to purchase.

Some cannot live

without a natural,

freshly-cut Christmas

tree, while others pre-

fer the convenience of

artificial trees. Those

who insist on a natu-

ral tree might want to

consider the following

tips when buying

whats likely their

biggest decorative

item of the holiday

season.

Ask when the tree

was cut down. Precut

trees may be cut down

weeks before theyre

sold. So if youre buy-

ing a precut tree, chances are

the tree was cut down much

earlier than you think. This

doesnt mean the tree wont

make it through the holiday

season, but a tree that was cut

several weeks ago should have

some of its bottom trunk

removed before its placed in

the stand. This will make it

easier for the tree to consume

water. This step likely isnt

necessary if the tree was cut

down the same day you bring

it home.

Have the tree shaken before

taking it home. A tree

should be shaken in a

shaker before you put

it in your car and

bring it home. A shak-er removes any debris

or dead needles from

the tree, which can

save you the trouble of

cleaning up all of

those dead needles

from your living room

floor later on.

Have the tree

wrapped before taking

it home. A tree should

also be wrapped in

twine before taking it

home. The twine

should be tight

enough to keep the trees

branches from blowing in the

wind when you attach the tree

to the top of your vehicle. If

possible, keep the tree

wrapped in twine as you place

it in the stand. This makes the

tree easier to control.

Choose the right location.

When looking for the right

place to set up your natural

tree, its best to choose a spot

thats cool and free of drafts.

The tree should not be placed

near heat sources, includingappliances, fireplaces or vents

because such heat sources cre-

ate a safety hazard and can

make it difficult for the tree to

retain moisture. There should

also be ample space between

the top of the tree and the

ceiling.

Place some covering on the

ground beneath the tree. Even

a freshly cut natural tree will

shed needles over the courseof the holiday season. Before

placing the stand in the loca-

tion youve chosen, put sometype of covering, such as a tree

bag, beneath the stand so its

easier to gather all those nee-

dles once the holiday season

has ended.

Remember that natural trees

are thirsty. Those who have

never had a natural Christmas

tree in the past might be sur-

prised at just how thirsty natu-

ral trees get. The stands reser-

voir should have lots of water,which should never dip below

the stump. If the water dips

below the stump, you might be

forced to cut a little more off

the bottom of the trunk to

ensure the tree will make it

through the holiday season.

That can be a hassle once the

tree has been decorated, so be

sure to check the water in the

reservoir at least once per day

to maintain adequate waterlevels.

With the economystill struggling,

money is tight for

many homeowners. That

reality can present a problem

to those who want to

improve their homes without

spending too much money.

The cost of a homeimprovement project

depends on a host of factors,

including the scale of the

project and the availability of

materials. Upscale projects

like a full roof replacement

will set homeowners back a

substantial amount of money.In its 2011-2012 Cost vs.

Value Report, Remodeling

magazine revealed that the

average cost of such a project

was nearly $38,000.

However, a smaller project

like a garage door replace-

ment could be completed forfewer than $3,000.

When deciding if a

home improvement project is

within your budget, its a

good idea to consult such fig-

ures before choosing a proj-

ect. For example, if your

home is a fixer-upper, then

one project may not be more

urgent than another, some-

thing that may allow you to

choose less expensive proj-ects now while saving money

for more expensive projects

down the road.

Its also important for

homeowners to know that

figures such as those in the

Cost vs. Value Report are

just averages. Some projects

might cost more than the

average, while others might

come in well under budget.

To ensure your project is oneof the latter and not the for-

mer, consider the following

ways to trim costs off yournext home improvement

project.

Avoid the DIY (do it your-

self) movement if you dont

have adequate experience.

Many homeowners fall intothe DIY trap, feeling they

can pull off a project without

hiring a professional contrac-tor. While this is an option

for those homeowners with

home improvement experi-

ence, its an approach thats

best avoided by those with-

out such experience.Homeowners who decide to

go it alone on a home

improvement project shouldknow that mistakes are cost-

ly. One mistake could have

you paying for the same

materials twice: once when

you begin the project, and

then again when you need to

hire a contractor after your

efforts didnt work out. A

failed DIY project also costs

you time, something home-

owners hoping to sell their

homes post-project cannotafford to waste.

Hire the right contractor.

The best contractor for the

job wont necessarily be theone who comes in with the

lowest estimate. The right

contractor will know how

long a project will take and

what the materials will cost.

The wrong contractor, who

might lack the experience of

his competitors, might make

empty promises that ulti-

mately cost you more money

via overrun costs. Find a con-

tractor who comes highlyrecommended and is willing

to provide references and

show you his or her past proj-

ects like the one youre hiringhim or her to undertake. If

you hire the wrong contrac-

tor, the project may never be

completed and you may find

yourself in court, where the

money you had budgeted for

home improvements is being

spent on lawyers instead.

Consider supplying your

own materials. If you dili-

gently research your project,

maintaining communications

with the rest of the world.They do have a downside. An

endless supply of gas is not

guaranteed. As we recently

saw, natural gas companies

were forced in many loca-

tions to cut their supplies off

due to danger of explosion. In

these areas, the standby gen-

erators did no good until sup-

ply lines were brought back

online. Portable generators

help also, but you need gaso-

line, which, as weve seen,

was not easy to come by.

The second solution isthe ideal solution. Installing

a solar system with a backup

power supply can reduce your

dependence on your utility.

This technology is now an

affordable alternative. The

way it works is simple: A grid-

tied solar system on your

homes roof or in your yard

generates power during the

day. The power first charges a

set of batteries until fully

charged, then provides elec-

tricity to offset the usage in

your home. Any excess elec-tricity generated is sent back

into the grid. Through net

metering, you are paid nor-

mal retail rates for this elec-

tricity by your utility.

When utility power is

shut down due to an event

such as Hurricane Sandy or

Katrina, or a major blizzard or

earthquake, switches are acti-

vated that redirect your

power source completely to

solar and battery backup. As

long as we have daylight,

youll have power. If the sunshould stop shinning, it wont

matter anyway, as power

wont be our biggest concern!

Your homes usage dic-

tates how big of a solar system

youll need. The size of your

backup battery system is

dependent on how long youll

want that usage to continue.

Sizing your system is key to

providing the proper power

levels. These backup systems

can even be installed on

homes with existing solar sys-

tems.The one obstacle to

solar: not every home is solar

worthy. In that case, a

standby generator is the best

solution. But, if you are

solar worthy, installing

solar with a battery backup

system is your best bet to pro-

tecting your home and family.

So, whats the best reply

to Did you get power back

yet? Well, homeowners with

the solutions above can

answer I never lost it!

Be a Thanksgiving

hero this year. If dis-

aster strikes on

Thanksgiving Day, face it

head-on with these simple

fixes for common mishaps.

1.Unexpected guests show

up.

Aunt Sally brought

along her new boyfriend

and his three brothers? Noproblem. Youve already

prepared for this by buying

a boneless turkey breast. A

2 1/2-pound boneless breast

only takes around 1 1/2 hours

to cook. After its sliced up and

added to the serving platter, no

one will be the wiser. And if

you dont end up using it, freeze

it for the next time you get a

turkey craving.

2.My potatoes are lumpy.Lumpy mashed potatoes

generally mean undercooked

potatoes. If you get to this point

and you realize youve under-

cooked your potatoes, just add a

little bit of milk or cream and

cook the potatoes over a low

heat until the lumps begin to

soften. Next time, make sure

you cook the potatoes fully by

inserting a fork into them

before taking them off the heat.

If the fork slips in easily, theyre

done.

3.My gravy isnt smooth.

If flour is added too quick-ly, the gravy will wind up with

clumps of flour. Avoid this

problem by gradually adding

the flour into the gravy base.

You can do this by sprinkling it

into the gravy or with a fine

sieve if you prefer. For extra

insurance, try pouring the

gravy through a sieve just

before serving.

4.My pie crust is soggy.

To prevent a soggy pie

crust, blind-bake the crust

either partially or fully before

pouring in the filling. This will

set the crust to prevent the wetfilling from sinking in.

Alternatively, keep a good-

quality store-bought pie crust

in the freezer. Pop it in the

oven to crisp up, and then pour

in your filling for a shortcut to

Five Thanksgiving Day fixes




27/36

Ingredients

2 (14-ounce) packages

gingerbread mix

1 (5.1-ounce) box cook-

and- serve vanilla

pudding mix

1 (30-ounce) can pumpkin

pie filling12 cup packed brown sugar13 teaspoon ground

cardamom or cinnamon1 (12-ounce) container

frozen whipped topping12 cup gingersnaps, optional

Directions

Bake the gingerbread accord-

ing to the package directions;

cool completely. Meanwhile,

prepare the pudding and set

aside to cool. Stir the pumpkin

pie filling, sugar, and car-

damom into the pudding.

Crumble 1 batch of ginger-bread into the bottom of a

large, pretty bowl. Pour 1/2 of

the pudding mixture over the

gingerbread, then add a layer

of whipped topping. Repeat

with the remaining ginger-

bread, pudding, and whipped

topping. Sprinkle of the top

with crushed gingersnaps, if

desired. Refrigerate overnight.

Trifle can be layered in apunch bowl. Serves 20.

Thanksgiving dessert.

5.My pumpkin pie or cheesecake

has cracked on top.

Theres nothing a little

confectioners sugar or whipped

cream cant hide. Top your

cracked pie or cake with one or

the other and your guests will

admire you for rememberingthe finishing touches. There are

a lot of reasons custards may

crack, and two of the most

common involve cooking and

cooling time. Avoid the crack

next year by cooking the cus-

tard for less time. Custards need

to cook only until just set. And

cool custard gradually by turn-

ing off the oven, propping the

oven door slightly ajar and let-

ting it come to room tempera-ture before refrigerating.
