T

he desire to have a pristine,


well-manicured landscape
leads many homeowners to
toil outdoors for hours every week-
end. Hiring a professional land-
scaper can free up homeowners
time and help them ensure their
yards are cared for properly.
One of the benefits of hiring a
landscaper is the time savings.
Landscapers typically have com-
mercial-grade equipment that can
dramatically reduce the time it
takes to mow and perform other
maintenance tasks around your
property. Furthermore, some serv-
ices have multiple employees
working concurrently, enabling
them to tackle several projects at
the same time and complete them
in a fraction of the time it would
take a homeowner working on his
or her own.
Landscapers familiar with
botany and landscape design
understand how to properly care
for plants and trees on your proper-
ty, while novice green thumbers
may be unaware about when to
prune trees and shrubs, at what
height to cut the lawn and which
plants will thrive in particular
locations. Such do-it-yourself
maintenance may even cost more
money than leaving it to a profes-
sional.
Hiring a professional land-
scaper is, in many instances, more
economical. For a certain weekly
or monthly fee, homeowners
receive the benefit of professional
knowledge and execution. Also,
homeowners will not have the
expense of purchasing the various
tools and equipment necessary for
lawn and garden maintenance,
tools and equipment that include
lawnmowers, string weeders,
edgers, fertilizer, grass seed, leaf
blowers, and shovels.
Another benefit is the lawn
will continue to be mowed
whether a homeowner is home or
not. During the spring and sum-
mer vacation season, its easy for
homeowners to overlook their
lawn and garden in favor of recre-
ation and leisure activities.
Without proper watering and
maintenance, lawns and gardens
can brown or overgrowth can
occur. But hiring a landscaping
service allows homeowners to rest
assured that their yards will be
maintained whether theyre
home or not.
Hiring a local landscaping
service will not only benefit
homeowners, but also it will ben-
efit the local economy. Residents
can feel comfortable knowing

F
ederal Deposit Insur-
ance Corporation insur-
ance is basically a guar-
antee that depositors will not
lose their funds. If the bank
where they keep their money
fails, the FDIC guarantees
that they will receive the full
amount of those funds, up to
the insurance limit from the
FDICs insurance fund.
The Great Depression
highlighted the need for an
institution like the FDIC.
During the first 10 months of
1930, after the catastrophic
stock market crash of 1929, 744
banks failed, 10 times the
annual number during the
1920s. By the end of 1933, over
$140 billion in deposits had
been lost to bank failures, and
11,000 of the 25,000 largest
banks had failed. This severe
crisis prompted a response from
the Roosevelt Administration,
which passed the Glass-
Steagall Act of 1933. The act
established and funded the
FDIC. The initial limit on
deposit insurance was set at
$2,500 in 1934, and was raised
to $5,000 in 1935. Today the
limit is $250,000 and may
change in the future in an effort
to increase consumer confi-
dence in the banking system.
The FDIC was given the
first real test of its abilities dur-
ing the savings and loan crisis
of the 1980s. Although the
brunt of the crisis fell upon the
Federal Savings and Loan
Insurance Corporation, the
pressure was too great, and the
FSLIC became insolvent and
was merged into the FDIC.
Between 1980 and 1994, the
FDIC helped to close over
1,600 banks that had been
affected by the crisis.
Fortunately, the FDIC survived
and helped mitigate the worst
effects, although the crisis still
cost taxpayers an estimated
$150 billion.
The FDIC works in tan-
dem with other government
agencies to protect the cus-
tomers of other financial insti-
tutions, such as credit unions.
The National Credit Union
Administration, or NCUA, is
the independent federal agency
that charters and supervises
federal credit unions. The
NCUA and FDIC together
insure billions of dollars of
deposits at thousands of finan-
cial institutions throughout the
United States.

insures bank deposits in the

I
f youve recently whitened
your teeth, drinking red
wine may be the worst sub-
stance you can consume
even worse than coffee.
The findings from a
research team in Sao Paolo,
Brazil were published in the
February issue of Acta
Odontologica Scandinavica.
The group explored the stain-
ing that resulted from red
wine and coffee before and
after teeth whitening treat-
ments.
The study found that
during remineralization of the
enamel a rebuilding process
during which teeth repair
themselves the saliva and
bleaching agent thwart any
possible staining of the enam-
el. But after the treatment was
finished, the red wine and cof-
fee stained the enamel. The
stains from the red wine were
conclusively worse.
If youve whitened your
teeth but cant resist that glass
of wine or that cup of coffee,
heres a tip: try drinking
through a straw so the liquid
passes by your front teeth!

A
s you calculate your
estimated federal tax
for 2013, be sure to
take into account two new
surtaxes: the net investment
income tax and the addition-
al Medicare tax. Heres how
to tell if theyll affect you and
what you can do to blunt
some of the impact.
Net investment income
tax. This 3.8 percent tax
applies when you have
investment income such as
dividends, interest and capi-
tal gains, and your modified
adjusted gross income
(MAGI) exceeds $250,000
(for married filing jointly).
When youre single, the
MAGI threshold is $200,000.
Mitigating the impact.
Some types of income are not
considered when computing
your investment income for
purposes of this tax. One
example is tax-exempt inter-
est. Depending on your over-
all investment goals, purchas-
ing municipal bonds may be
an option to consider.
Retirement plan distri-
butions, including with-
drawals from your IRA, are
not counted as investment
income when figuring the
tax, either. However, taking
money from your accounts
does increase your MAGI.
Income from passive
activities such as rental real
estate is generally subject to
the new tax. Depreciation
deductions and a one-time
opportunity to revise the way
you group income from your
rentals can offer some relief.
Additional Medicare
tax. This 0.9 percent surtax
applies to wages, tips and self-
employment income when
your earned income exceeds
$250,000 if youre married fil-
ing a joint return ($200,000
when youre single).
What to watch out for.
Your employer is required to
begin withholding the addi-
tional tax once youve earned

event of a bank failure, SIPC
insures investment accounts in
the event of a failure. In the
case with the Securities
Investor Protection Corpora-
tion, accounts are insured up to
$500,000 per account. This
includes $250,000 in cash.
When a brokerage is closed due
to a bankruptcy or other reason
and investors securities are
missing, the SIPC steps in to
return these assets.
Customers of a failed bro-
kerage firm get back all securi-
ties (such as stocks and bonds)
that already are registered in
their name or are in the process
of being registered. After this
first step, the firms remaining
customer assets are then divid-
ed on a pro rata basis with
funds shared in proportion to
the size of claims. If sufficient
funds are not available in the
firms customer accounts to sat-
isfy claims within these limits,
the reserve funds of SIPC are
used to supplement the distri-
bution, up to a ceiling of
$500,000 per customer, includ-
ing a maximum of $250,000 for
cash claims. Additional funds
may be available to satisfy the
remainder of customer claims
after the cost of liquidating the
brokerage firm is taken into
account.
The SIPC covers losses
due only to a brokerage failure,
or other unscrupulous activity.
SIPC does not insure losses
that occur as a part of regular
market fluctuation. Many peo-
ple believe that SIPC will pro-
tect them from losing all of
their money on a bad invest-
ment, but this isnt true.
SIPC also does not cover
losses in the event a company
you invest in goes bankrupt. If
you invest $50,000 in XYC
Corp. and they file for bank-
ruptcy, leaving your shares
worthless, SIPC has nothing to
do with these losses. SIPC will
protect your assets only if the
brokerage or fund company you
hold your assets with goes
bankrupt.
Not all investments are
protected by SIPC. In general,
SIPC covers stocks, bonds,
mutual funds, notes, other
investment company shares,
and other registered securities.
It does not cover instruments
such as unregistered invest-
ment contracts, unregistered

The New Jersey Life and
Health Insurance Guaranty
Association was created by the
New Jersey legislature in 1992
(with an effective date of Jan.
1, 1991) to protect state resi-
dents who are policy holders
and beneficiaries of policies
issued by an insolvent insur-
ance company, up to specified
limits. All insurance companies
(with limited exceptions)
licensed to write life and health
insurance or annuities in New
Jersey are required, as a condi-
tion of doing business in the
state, to be members of the
guaranty association. If a mem-
ber company becomes insol-
vent, money to continue cover-
age and to pay claims is
obtained through assessments
of the guaranty associations
other member insurance com-
panies, writing the same line or
lines of insurance as the insol-
vent company. All 50 states,
the District of Columbia and
Puerto Rico have life and
health insurance guaranty asso-
ciations. Life and health insur-
ance guaranty associations
cover individual policyholders
and their beneficiaries; typical-
ly, persons protected by certifi-
cates of insurance issued under
policies of group life or group
health insurance are also cov-
ered. Limits on benefits and
coverage are established by
state law. If your insurance
company fails, the maximum
amount of protection provided
by the New Jersey guaranty
association, for each type of
policy, no matter how many of
that type of policy you bought
from your company (with
respect to any one insured indi-
vidual) is listed below.

Health Insurance Claims:
No limit
The guaranty association
is a private entity, with its
membership made up of all
the life and health insurers
licensed in the state. (In fact,
under state law, an insurer
must be a member of the asso-
ciation to be licensed to do
business.) The association was
created by the legislature to
serve as a safety net (subject to
statutory limits) for residents
should their life or health
insurer fail. By creating the
association, the legislature was
able to ensure continued cov-
erage to residents affected by
their insurers failure. The
association does work in coop-
eration with the Insurance
Depart-ment in fulfilling its
role of protecting residents
whose insurance company is
being liquidated. Long-term-
care insurance is typically
considered health insurance
and covered by the guaranty
association as well.
Insurance and guarantees
are for your savings dollars
while risk-based capital looks
for greater returns without a
safety net. Re-member these
safety facts when allocating
your portfolio. Should you
require any help or guidance,
feel free to contact me for a
no-cost consultation.

M
any of us feel that
our pets are mem-
bers of the family.
More and more families are
recycling, using eco-friendly
products and are earth-con-
scious so shouldnt your
pet be greener too? There are
plenty of opportunities to cut
down on waste and to raise
your pets quality of life with
minimal effort. Our pets give
us so much joy and they can-
not contribute on their own,
so its our job as their owners
to help lighten their carbon
footprint.
Spring cleaning
Empty out that Tupper-
ware full of pet stuff. Call
your local shelters and ask if
they need old towels, bed-
ding, leashes, litter boxes, pet
toys, etc. This is a good way
to recycle and to help other,
less fortunate dogs and cats.
Clean up after your pet
Leaving pet waste out-
side is an environmental and
health hazard. Pet waste is
known to get into water sys-
tems due to improper dispos-
al. You should pick up your
dogs waste and dispose of it
in the trash or a compost
heap. There are mini doggie
septic systems that can help
keep your lawn free of poop
and break down the waste
into a liquid the ground can
absorb. Dont forget to scoop
the poop with biodegradable
bags instead of plastic bags
from the grocery store. For
cats, consider organic, plant-
based kitty litter or litter
from recycled newspapers.
Friendly cleaners
When giving a regular
bath, try to use organic or
natural products that dont
have a chemical base. The
same goes for your stain- and
odor-removers for the house
if your pet makes a mess. Use
vinegar; its an environmen-
tally friendly liquid that is an
effective odor-remover and
can kill mold and bacteria.
However, it must still be
diluted correctly with water.
Spay or neuter
Spaying and neuter-
ing pets is an important
way to keep your pet
healthy and to avoid
more homeless dogs and
cats on the streets.
Spaying and neutering
also helps pets live
longer by reducing the
risk of several types of can-
cers, as well as prostate dis-
ease.
Tag or microchip your pet
Placing a microchip may
not sound eco-friendly, but
with this ounce of preven-
tion, you can avoid not only
the stress of losing a pet, but
a lot of waste, too. This waste
includes paper from printing
out missing pet posters, and
fuel by driving around your
neighborhood trying to find
your missing pet. Ask your
local veterinarian for more
information.
Adopt instead of buying
There are many thou-
sands of puppies and kittens
born in the U.S. every day.
Controlling the pet popula-
tion is always green. So why
not adopt instead of buying a
pet? Visit your local shelter
and you can save money
while saving a life.

F
resh air and outdoor fun
are beneficial to main-
taining your physical and
mental health. Outdoor toys are
a great way to keep your chil-
dren outside, active and having
fun during the summer months.
Buying the right outdoor toys
will help ensure your kids not
only have fun, but stay healthy
without even realizing it.
What is a good summer toy?
A popular outdoor toy
many parents buy their chil-
dren each summer are ride-on-
toys. Aside from being fun,
ride-on-toys offer many addi-
tional benefits, such as devel-
oping a sense of balance and
coordination while contribut-
ing to a child's overall physical
fitness. One popular riding toy
is the PlasmaCar by Plasmart
Inc. The PlasmaCar is a
mechanical marvel that can be
driven on any flat surface,
indoors and outdoors, and is
powered solely by kid-power.
The PlasmaCar is a fun way for
kids to ride around the neigh-
borhood and keep their bodies
fit and having fun as it requires
no batteries or fuel, just the
occasional cookie or two.
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, they
need 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 of your children, but
it's so durable that parents can
have fun riding it too. Its color-
ful designs endear it to kids and
its rounded curves, seat and
steering wheel will help reduce
summer bumps and bruises.

S
pring is a season for
rebirth and for home-
owners that often
means bringing their proper-
ty back to life. Once the win-
ter weather has subsided, its
time to head outside and take
inventory of the landscape
and see how the yard, trees,
bushes, and shrubs fared after
another long winter.
One of the best and
most eco-friendly ways to
bring your yard back to life is
to plant around the property.
When planting around the
home this spring, consider
the following pointers from
Gro-Rite Garden Center.
Consider container-grown
plants. Novice green-thum-
bers might find it best to go
with container-grown plants.
Container-grown plants are
easy to plant around the
property, and its also easy to
change the look of the prop-
erty by simply moving the
plants around. Also, as the
seasons change, its easy to
reposition the plants so
theyre still getting the sun
exposure they need to thrive.
Get a second opinion.
Planting trees around the
property can be akin to hang-
ing a painting on the wall.
Its always best to get a sec-
ond opinion to make sure the
painting is straight, and the
same goes with planting
trees. Before backfilling the
hole, ask someone to look at
the tree from several angles
to ensure that it is straight.
Once the tree has been back-
filled, its awfully difficult to
reposition the tree.
Give the trees or plants
their best chance to grow. Its
important to survey the prop-
erty ahead of planting to be
certain the plants will be in
the best place to thrive. Call
the utility company and ask
if there are any buried utility
lines youll want to avoid.
Also, a trees roots spread far
beyond its branches, so be
sure to plant the tree in a
location that allows for that
root growth without
jeopardizing the proper-
ty (i.e., roots spreading
beneath the homes
foundation).

eeds in a lawn or
garden can be an
unsightly and po-
tentially unhealthy nuisance.
No gardener enjoys seeing
weeds spring up throughout
his or her carefully planted
garden, as such uninvited
guests rob a well-tended gar-
den of its aesthetic appeal. In
addition, weeds can steal
valuable water and nutrients
from plants, prohibiting their
growth as a result.
Homeowners who un-
derstand how harmful weeds
can be can prevent them in a
variety of ways. Where weed
growth is insignificant, it
might be possible to simply
pull them out of the ground
before they can do any sub-
stantial damage. In areas of
heavy weed growth, however,
a more concentrated effort
must be made to prevent fur-
ther weed growth once the
weeds have been removed.
The following are a few ways
homeowners can prevent
weeds from growing through-
out their lawns.
Be proactive. Preventing
weed growth is a proactive
job, so homeowners want to
be proactive to keep weeds
from infesting their property.
Proper and routine lawn
maintenance might be all it
takes. Add quality topsoil to
your lawn or garden to pro-
duce a healthier surface that
makes it more difficult for
weeds to grow. As the season
progresses, continue to main-
tain your lawn by mowing
and watering.
Aerate the soil at the onset
of the season. Aerating your
lawn at the dawn of the
mowing season helps break
up soil that grew compacted
over the winter. Once aerat-
ed, the soil can disperse
nutrients, oxygen and water
more effectively, allowing
healthier roots to grow and
reducing the risk of weed
growth as a result.
Fertilize the lawn. Fertilizer
helps grass grow in thick and
dense, which leaves little to
no room for the growth of
weeds. While fertilizer does
not necessarily guarantee
that weeds wont grow, it
does go a long way toward
helping a lawn grow in
healthy, and a healthy lawn
is often a weeds worst enemy.
Some fertilizers on the mar-
ket are a combination of fer-

dging a lawn is a spring-
time rite of passage for
many homeowners.
When winter has come and
gone, many lawns are left in
need of some serious mainte-
nance, including edging.
Well-defined edges around
the yard make the yard look
more organized and better
maintained. And edging is rel-
atively easy, especially for
those homeowners with a
smaller yard. Edging can be
time-consuming for those
with more property, but when
done properly, edging is defi-
nitely worth the effort.
Remove debris from the
areas you plan to edge. Before
you even begin to edge, be
sure to remove any debris
from those areas that need
edging. Debris, including
rocks, twigs or the kids toys,
left lying around can be
kicked up when youre edging,
potentially causing injury to
you or someone standing
nearby.
Purchase safety goggles.
Even if you have removed all
visible debris, there still may
be some items hidden in the
grass. These items can be
kicked up and hit you in the
eye, so purchase some safety
goggles and be sure to wear
them whenever youre edging.
As an added precaution, keep
kids and others away from any
areas youre edging so they
arent injured by any unseen
debris that gets kicked up
while youre working.
Check your tools. Edging
can be done by using a gas-
powered edger or a string
trimmer. Before you begin to
edge, inspect these tools to
ensure theyre capable of han-
dling the task at hand. Inspect
the blades on a gas-powered
edger to make sure they
havent dulled since their
most recent use. If they are
dull, sharpen them before you
start to edge. When using a
string trimmer, make sure you
have enough string on hand
to complete the project.
String trimmers use a particu-
lar kind of string, so visit your
local lawn care or hardware
store if you dont feel like you
have enough.
Position your edger properly.
Once you have given your
tools the green light, its time
to start edging. When you
begin, make sure the edger is
between the sidewalk or
driveway and the edge of the
lawn, placing the wheel of the
edger on the sidewalk or
driveway and then pushing
and pulling the edger until
you have created a clear edge.
If you have never edged
before, you may want to prac-
tice on smaller, more isolated
areas until you become com-
fortable operating the edger.

Established 1948 A Professional Roofing Company
Home insulation is a smart investment
ideal for homeowners who
are especially concerned
about weed growth. The
lifespan of weed preventers
varies, so keep in mind that
you might need to reapply a
weed preventer in a few
months to keep getting the
same results. Fertilizing is
typically done twice a year,
once in the spring and again
in the fall.
Lay down landscape fabric.
Landscape fabric is another
weed prevention alternative
that can prevent weed
growth for several years.
Before laying down landscape
fabric, which is perhaps most
commonly used in flower
beds, remove all weeds and
other vegetation you do not
wish to grow. You will likely
need to cut the fabric to the
area you want it to cover and
cut an opening for plants and
flowers. The fabric is then
typically covered with mulch,
which keeps the fabric in
place.
Landscape fabric is
effective because it blocks
the sun from reaching any
area that its covering while
still allowing air, water and
nutrients to penetrate and
reach the soil. Weeds need
sun to grow, so landscape fab-
ric can be highly effective at
preventing weed growth.
Weeds are an unsightly
nuisance that homeowners
would prefer to do without.
Preventing weed growth is
relatively easy, and, in many
cases, your efforts can bear
fruit through the entire
season.
Removing Unsightly Weeds
When removing weeds,
its best to remove the weeds
with their roots. Smaller
weeds with shallow roots can
typically be removed with a
gentle pull and the roots will
come right out with the weed.
Larger weeds with deep-
er roots can be a little
tougher to remove, and they
might damage surrounding
plants if you pull too hard. In
such instances, dig around
the stem with a small hoe to
loosen the soil and then firm-
ly pull the weed out of the
ground. If that does not work,
dig a little deeper and try
again.
When there are simply
too many weeds to pull out of
the ground, a garden hoe is
effective for shallow-rooted
weeds. Where deep-rooted
weeds are present, a garden
hoe is less effective because it
does not usually reach the
roots. A Winged Weeder,
though more time-consuming
than a hoe, goes deeper into
the soil to pull the roots.
Chemical weed-killers
are another option, though
they are not very eco-friendly
and chemical products must
be sprayed on the entire weed
to kill it completely.

I
n an effort to leave the
unemployment line be-
hind them, many men and
women have decided they
would relocate for jobs if the
opportunities presented them-
selves. According to the Atlas
Van Lines 2012 Corporate
Relocation Survey, 52 percent
of all relocations in 2011 were
new hires. Thats not only
reflective of peoples willing-
ness to move for new opportu-
nities, but also companies
willingness to help new hires
make smooth transitions.
Whereas many companies
were forced to reduce or elimi-
nate their relocation budgets
during the depths of the reces-
sion, more and more of them
now have more money to help
candidates relocate.
Finding a company thats
willing to incur some, if not
all, of an employees relocation
costs is certainly one way to
make the process go smoothly.
But even those who cant find
such a willing employer dont
have to rule out relocation.
The following are a few ways
to make relocating for your
career as successful as possible.
Dont be afraid to negotiate.
The Atlas relocation survey
noted that 87 percent of the
firms surveyed had a formal
relocation policy. These
policies can run the gamut
from very accommodating to
extremely limited. But many
policies leave room for excep-
tions, so men and women
should not be afraid to negoti-
ate. The company may offer
additional benefits to entice
you to relocate, but the appli-
cant has to ask about those
benefits.
Do your homework. Com-
panies often expect quick
responses when they offer out-
of-towners a position.
Applicants likely wont have
enough time between receiv-
ing the offer and meeting their
Make your relocation a
smooth one
continued on next page
deadline to accept or deny the
position to do all of the
research that needs to be done.
Before applying for positions
within a given city, learn
about the city, including the
cost of housing, the reputation
of the citys school districts,
and anything else that will
ultimately have an impact on
your decision to move or stay
put. If possible, visit the city
before beginning your job
hunt. If you find the city fits
your lifestyle, then begin your
pursuit of a career.
Dont overlook temporary
housing. Many firms provide
temporary housing for new
hires or existing employees
who relocate. This option
should not be overlooked.
Firms expect quick answers
when asking an existing
employee or a new hire to
relocate. In fact, the Atlas sur-
vey found that 72 percent of
firms give an employee two
weeks or less to accept an offer
to relocate. So you likely wont
have enough time to find your
next place to call home. In
such instances, consider tem-
porary housing, ideally offered
by the company. If the compa-
ny does not provide temporary
housing, then stay with a
friend or family member or
contact realtors and explain
your situation. A real estate
agent should be able to help
you find temporary housing
and can then help you once
the relocation is complete and
youre ready to find a perma-
nent residence.
Know the repayment provi-
sions. While many people
consider their decision to relo-

Questions for your protection
Q
uestion: How does
homeowners insur-
ance differ from
condo, townhouse or renters
insurance?
Answer: A condo insur-
ance policy protects every-
thing in the structure, from
the studs in. A townhouse
provides structural protection
with limitations, as well as
items within the home. A
renters policy provides cover-
age for personal property, as a
tenant does not own the actu-
al structure.
A homeowners provides
the greatest coverage of the
four. It provides coverage for
damage sustained to any struc-
ture that is a part of the prop-
erty, like a detached garage.
As it provides the broadest
coverage, it is the most costly
of the four policies.
Any home that has a
mortgage attached to it is
required to be covered by
condo, townhouse, or
homeowners insurance.
Mortgagee clauses should
be added to the policy
when written so that in
the event of an occur-
rence, the order of pay-
ment is adhered to.
Each of the prior
mentioned policies
enables select coverages
for different items per-
taining to each type of
property. For example,
a renters policy will
never provide you
sewer or drainage cov-
erage like a homeown-
ers policy will.
When protecting the
legacy youve built, be
informed with your questioning
and make sure you are ade-
quately protected. Contact E.

or on his cell at 908-977-6786.

ecent improvements
in the design and
engineering of gas
grills have transformed the art
of grilling. From searing and
rotisserie cooking to planking
and smoking, gas grills now
provide chefs with several dif-
ferent grilling techniques to
develop flavors, textures and
aromas. With a quality gas
grill, the right set of features
and these grilling methods,
the culinary possibilities for a
backyard chef are endless.
So what features do you need?
To get the most out of differ-
ent cooking methods, a gas
grill has to be designed with
these performance features:
Excellent heat retention; sear-
ing power and flavor vaporiza-
tion at the grids; full coverage
stainless steel flavor wave, or
heat medium; precise heat
control; a side burner and a
rotisserie burner.
Mastering the Techniques
One of the unique and
delicious methods to grill food
uses a wooden plank. The
smoke created from the plank
sitting directly above a lit
burner infuses the meat with a
delicate smoky flavor.
Using a plank is simple:
Soak it in water for at least
an hour and pat it dry.
Pre-heat your grill on high
for 10 minutes.
Coat both sides of the plank
with olive oil then place the
seasoned meat on it.
Place the plank on the grill
directly over the lit burner
and reduce the heat to medi-
um-low.
Cook the meat to its desired
doneness.
Grilling planks are
specifically designed for the
grill and there a variety of fla-
vors to choose. Cedar planks

Is your grill ready for your
culinary imagination?

M
any people cultivate
gardens both inside
and outside of their
homes with a focus on adding
aesthetic appeal to their prop-
erty. But a garden that boasts
plants that are edible and
pleasing to the eye is a possi-
bility as well.
Planting an herb garden is
a creative way to enjoy the
sights, smells and tastes of a
wide variety of plants. Using
fresh-harvested herbs in culi-
nary endeavors imparts a taste
that dried spices cannot match.
Whats more, fresh herbs are
often easy to cultivate.
Herbs are versatile, capa-
ble of lending great flavor to
foods while also playing differ-
ent roles in personal health and
beauty. Herbs can be grown to
perfume homes and bodies.
There are herbs that are also
purported to help with ail-
ments, from upset stomachs to
anxiety.
When planting an herb
garden, you may want to
pay particular attention to
the types of flavors and
smells you like in your
home and cooking. This
will help you to narrow
down the types of herbs
you will plant. Many
would-be herb gardeners
tend to start small to see
what luck they have when
cultivating herbs. For-
tunately, herbs can grow
are ideal for salmon, but dont
be afraid to try other meats.
Pork goes great on a maple
plank and lamb is delicious on
alder.
Try planking today with
this easy recipe for salmon
using a cedar plank.
Tahini-Sesame Salmon
Ingredients:
-cup Tahini
(Sesame Butter)
-cup Honey
-cup Soy Sauce
-White wine
(for consistency)
Coat the salmon fillets with a
light dusting of salt and black
pepper.
Mix the Tahini, honey and
soy sauce. Add white wine as
necessary if the mixture is too
thick. It should be creamy but
still light enough to drizzle and
baste.
Coat the filets with the glaze
and arrange them on the planks
and place planks on the grill.
Close the lid and cook for
15 to 20 minutes. Salmon is
cooked when it is opaque in
color and flakey to the touch
of a fork.

the methods along with recipes

cate a success, others find their
new job and city are falling
short of expectations. That
can be a sticky situation if your
new company helped pay for
your relocation. Before accept-
ing the job offer and relocat-
ing, ask to read the relocation
policy and make note of its
repayment provisions. Some
firms that help relocate new
hires or existing employees
have the right to ask for those
costs back if the employee
leaves the company within a
given time frame. Know these
provisions before you decide to
relocate.
well in containers indoors, pro-
vided the soil is amenable and
there is plenty of sunlight.
Herbs will grow best in
well-prepared soil. Make sure
that it is rich in organic mat-
ter and drains well. Also, for
plants like parsley, be sure to
have deep pots or dig deeply
in the garden to establish long
taproots.
Until the weather warms
up, you may want to begin
herb cultivation indoors and
then transfer plants outside
during the summer. Basil, for
instance, is a tropical plant
that does well in warm condi-
tions. Therefore, it will need
to be kept away from drafts
and get several hours of direct
sunshine a day. Place most
herb planters in a south-facing
window of a home to ensure
they get ample sunlight and to
allow the soil to dry adequate-
ly between watering.
With many herbs, leaf
production will diminish on
any stems that flower. It is
essential to pinch off flowers
that form to encourage the
herb plant to continue pro-
ducing leaves, which are the
parts of the plant most associ-
ated with seasoning and
aroma.
