  Ask the average person what acupuncture is and you will probably get a myriad of answers. One thing that it is not is painful. Yes, acupuncture is the insertion of small needles into vital locations along artery and vein pathways. To the contrary, properly performed by a trained acupuncture therapist, the experience is quite tranquil. The tranquility sets in once the needles have changed your body's chemistry. But, the insertion of the needles are sensationful, not painful. One should expect a warm, spreading, heavy, and distended sensation around the needles. These sensations are manifestations of the chemical and neurological shift made by the body, necessary for healing."Acupuncture releases the body's natural pain killers (i.e. enkephalins), helps to relax shortened muscles, reduces the perception and intensity of pain."
   Acupuncture hones in on very fine blood vessels that stimulate blood flow throughout the body’s neurovascular nodes that contain high levels of very fine blood vessels, mast cells, fine lymphatic vessels, and sensory nerve fibers. Every part of the body needs these structures. Acupuncture promotes blood flow through these regions, in order for them to live and thrive.
   Greg McCue, owner of Rising Tide Acupuncture in Huntington is a New York State Licensed Acupuncturist with a Master’s in Science of Traditional Oriental Medicine (Acupuncture and Herbology) from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine-N.Y. As I am told by Mr. McCue, “acupuncture promotes blood flow, restores the body’s homeostasis and creates an avenue for the body to heal itself. Our goal is to provide patient-centered health care, in an environment where health, wellness and longevity are achieved”
   Every treatment at Rising Tide Acupuncture is tailored specifically to each patient. This is achieved through individualized acupuncture treatments, herbal formulas, Chinese massage and meditative techniques and Chinese physical training exercises. Mr. McCue continues, “Every person is unique and different, and therefore every treatment should be targeted uniquely and
differently.” Rising Tide prides itself on this specificity of treatment, time efficient results, and unwavering service to the patient! You can learn more about the varied techniques offered by visiting their website at risingtideacupuncture.net.

  Is your house being invaded by ants? Warmer days this time of year will send ants out far and wide looking for food. You can have everything sealed off in your house, except for the one bowl of dry cat food and ants will find that bowl.
   To battle back, I strongly suggest avoiding chemical warfare, especially if you have pets and little children in your house. Some of those sprays and ant poisons are worse than having ants in the house. Therefore, I want to share a few “Natural” solutions to ward off any ant brigade on the march into your home.
   First, just try sprinkling ground red pepper along any entry point. If you do this outside your window or door, the red pepper must be replenished after each rain fall.
   Second, try peppermint oil. Many people prefer using the peppermint oil because the aroma is very pleasing.
   A third method is the use of ground cinnamon or spray cinnamon essential oil all around the entry points. Also mixing cinnamon and cloves will keep the ants out and your house smelling wonderful.
   An additional way to keep ants from entering your house is chalk lines! Just draw lines anywhere you can and ants will not cross. Make sure the line is wide and thick, because sometimes a thin chalk line will be crossed. If you use chalk outside your window or door, the chalk lines may wash away, thus the need to redraw the lines after each rain fall.
   The last way to prevent ants from entering your house is coffee grinds. Place coffee grinds into the cracks or at any area you see ants coming in.
   Now coffee grinds and all previous methods presented do not kill the ants. These are natural barriers that keep ants from crossing. If you have a serious infestation of ants living in your house and you need to kill them, perhaps you may wish to consider one of the following possibilities instead of store bought chemical sprays.
   Place a mixture of baking soda and powdered sugar in a plastic bottle cap or dish. Locate these bottle caps or dishes around the area where the ants live. After a week or so, you should see a difference.
   Make a mixture of white vinegar with salt have a ratio of 3 to 1 and pour into the cracks you found as the entry points to the ant colony.
   A third way to kill ants inside your home is to use cream of wheat. The consumption proves to be too much for the ants small body after the digested wheat expands.
   With these methods we can save money and live healthier compared to chemical sprays being used around our homes.

To me nothing says summer like biting into a savory, sweet lobster roll. A decadent classic New England sandwich. One succulent mouthful and you’ll feel like you’re away on vacation…and you don’t have to drive to “The End” ( Montauk that is ~ to feel like you did). For us seafood lovers… it’s just not Summer without enjoying these tasty rolls a few times during the season. Easy to prepare right at home, relaxing in your own backyard and soaking up the sun. The flavor is intoxicating ~ the experience is lobsterating! So go summer…celebrating!

Serves 4
2 ½ pound lobsters (steamed)
Take out claw meat and tail meat, chill for ½ hour in refrigerator, and dice into
½ inch chunks. If you want to really make this easy…call ahead to your local fish market and ask them to steam for you and remove meat from shell.
Mix cut up lobster meat in bowl with the following ingredients.

6 tender celery stalks diced
2 T of chopped fresh chives
½ to ¾ cup of mayonnaise
Fresh ground pepper to taste
Pinch of tarragon (optional)

Split top hot dog rolls, toasted
with a bit of butter
Lettuce leaves for extra crunch
Spoon lobster mixture onto warm bun and enjoy! XO Denise

  I was listening to the radio the other day and the hosts were discussing how people are just happier in the summer. One host said, maybe it's the good memories you have from your childhood of having all summer off. Or it could just be the warmer weather and longer days… Either way, it's no secret I love certainly summer and there are definitely things that I crave during this time of year. This summer season my favorites are watermelon, pasta dishes with seasonal veggies and, my beverage of choice: rosé.
   I know everyone loves watermelon in the summer, but there's a lot more you can do with it than just cutting it up and eating it. One of my favorite ways to eat watermelon is in a salad with a hard, salty cheese. There are two different versions of a watermelon salad that I make. One is with feta and torn mint leaves with extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. The other is with ricotta salata, baby arugula and balsamic drizzle, which is essentially just balsamic vinegar reduced on the stove until it is syrup-like. Each of these is a perfect starter or light side dish to accompany a barbecue or an al fresco dinner.
   I must confess that I also love my watermelon in a good cocktail. It is really easy to get watermelon juice to make cocktails. All you have to do is cut it up into cubes, liquefy it in a blender and strain it through a sieve. You can make shaken watermelon margaritas or watermelon martinis. If you don't want to take out the blender, watermelon mojitos are even easier because you just mash up watermelon cubes with mint and lime then add white rum and seltzer.
   Something else I am loving this summer is making pasta dishes that can be eaten hot or cold. I like being able to make a hot pasta dish for dinner that can then be eaten cold for lunch the next day. I’m also a fan of not having to turn on the oven when it’s ninety degrees and humid outside; it’s really a win, win all the way around. A couple of my favorites are “caprese” with pesto and penne and spaghetti with corn, cherry tomatoes, and avocado pesto. For the caprese I use cherry tomatoes and the small mozzarella balls, and store-bought pesto, if I can find it. Otherwise I make it from scratch. For the other, the avocado pesto is just as easy to make. A regular basil pesto, but you just add an avocado and omit the pine nuts.
   The last, and certainly not least, summer favorite of mine is rosé wine. Rosé used to be this cliché of a wine, kind of like Zinfandel, if you will. But now it is the wine of the summer! It’s not hard to fine a reasonably priced rosé in the liquor store. I’m an advocate for buying local, so I go for the Long Island rosés, but the French rosés aren’t too shabby either. So, maybe next weekend, cut up some watermelon, boil up some pasta and drink a little rosé.

Graduation Parties, Fathers Day, Moving up ceremonies- there are many events to flood our June calendar. Such a fun anticipated time of the year. Enjoy all the excitement in style with just a few key pieces of “party ready wear”. There is no need to stress about the ensemble, rather put that best foot forward and start turning heads, with a few accessory updates.
Feet first! Nothing updates a look like a great pair of gladiators sandals. Go for a strappy mid calf, or lace up just a tad past the ankles. If you’re looking to turn up the heat, try a gladiator tied up to the knee. Be careful don’t put on any other accessories, and a very understated dress or skirt paired with the high tip gladiators. Don’t be afraid to add a heel on the gladiator. This helps to elongate the leg but don’t combine a heel and knee tie up, that’s way too much. Pick a lane and stick with it, don’t weave in and out. It’s a sizzling look on its own.
Any tunic, crop top, or summer graphic tee is not complete without a layered beaded tassel necklace or long chain with a chunky natural stone. We are looking for a boho effortless airy summer vibe. Inspired by the 60’s with a very modern splash in the detail of the necklaces. Beautiful natural quartz, turquoise, and tassels with a just a hint of shimmer, bring that summer look straight off the runway and into our summer lunches and evenings out!
Step up your glam with anything off the shoulder. If you haven’t snagged yourself a fun billowy shoulder and décolleté bearing top, immediately add it to your to do list. It’s all in the details with tribal prints, fringe, light summer linen or cotton fabrics. Let the shoulder bare the load.
Polishing your look can really be a summer breeze. This is the season to relax, de-stress, and be playful with your wardrobe. Attending parties, celebrations and beach cocktail hours should be effortless and done in style! Keeping it simple and concentrating on just a few pieces will leave your hands free for sunscreen, cocktails, sandwiches and s’mores, real summer fun!

What’s Milk Got To Do With It?

June 26, 2016

Paul A. Lauto, Esq. received his Juris Doctor from New York Law School in 1990. In 2002 Mr. Lauto established Paul A. Lauto, PLLC (Now located at 565 Route 25A, Suite 207, Miller Place, NY 11764; (631) 928-1430; www.liattorney.com), with a
primary concentration on
personal injury, all types
of accident cases and more.

A Florida creamery, operating with an all natural philosophy, boasted of selling some of the most delicious and natural skim milk in the state. Their secret was simple in that they skimmed the cream off of whole milk to sell as cream and the rest was sold as skim milk. However, in doing so they failed to comply with Florida's state law that requires the artificial injection of vitamins back into the skim milk to make it nutritionally equivalent to whole milk. As a result, the Florida Department of Agriculture took the creamery to court, maintaining that the creamery could not legally label their skim milk as milk and must call it imitation skim milk.
    Federal court Judge Robert Hinkle has now ruled in favor of the state and against the creamery, holding that they cannot label their all natural skim milk as milk. Although Judge Hinkle agreed that the creamery's skim milk was within the denotation of skim milk, he found that the state had the right to regulate standards for milk. Further that to find otherwise, could ignite challenges to both state and federal laws upon which our food labeling system is based.
    Although the all natural skim milk sold by the creamery constitutes approximately 25% of their business, they refuse to label it as imitation. A representative from the creamery stated that, “Our skim milk was pure skim milk, and nobody was ever confused when we called it skim milk. I refuse to lie to my customers, so I have stopped selling skim milk until I am allowed to tell the truth again.” Instead they have chosen to appeal the decision to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
    Although at first impression the court's decision seems to lack a reasonable basis, we must remember that in general the role of the court is to interpret the laws and it is the role of the legislators to make the laws. This is all part of the balance of powers which is crucial to the functionality of our system. The current applicable Florida law, which seems to have more to do with political favor than milk, requires the artificial injection of vitamins back into skim milk in order to legally label it as milk. Therefore, it would appear that the creamery's likelihood of success upon appeal is limited. The true remedy for the creamery, may lie with the elected state legislators who enacted and/or continue to support such a consumer and small business unfriendly law.
   State officials that pander to big business and contradict their oath to the very people that elected them, should be voted against to insure that they are limited to one term. Representation in our country that is by the people and for the people as set forth by our founding fathers, has perhaps never been more lacking and more needed than it is today.

Summer time is fabulous of course. The beach, pool, the sun and easy breezy days make it close to perfect. However, as far as holiday decorating is concerned it seems to get a little left out. This isn't the time to line your mantel with cute snowmen or tiny pumpkins. So because I must be in the midst of decorating for some event at all times I decorate my home with beach themed and patriotic items during the summer months. Here is a decorative wreath I made from tulle that you can display on your front door or hang in the backyard for the 4th of July barbecue. It is sort of like a tutu on a wreath. In addition to Independence Day, patriotic decorations can be displayed for Memorial Day, Flag Day, Labor Day, Veteran's Day or whenever you want to show some patriotic spirit.

Materials Needed:

• 18-inch foam or wooden braided wreath
• 8 1/2 yards of red tulle
• 8 1/2 yards of white tulle
• 6 yards of blue tulle
• About 10 red, white and blue artificial
flowers
• glue gun
• wire cutters
• 15" white ribbon

Instructions:

1. Thread the 15” white ribbon through or around the top of the wreath to make a loop so it can be hung onto something.

2. Cut red, white and blue tulle into 23-inch size strips. I used an 18-inch wreath and used 14 blue strips and 20 red and white strips each. If you use a smaller wreath then you will need less.

3. Start with the blue on the left side of the wreath. Take one strip and fold in half. Place under the wreath and pull the bottom piece through the top loop. Pull tightly to finish. This is the same technique used to make a no sew tutu skirt.

4. Once the blue is complete start alternating red and white till you complete the entire circle.

5. You can now cut the stems off of the flowers using wire cutters and glue them around the wreath with a hot glue gun in whichever pattern you like. You can group a few together or spread them out.

Other options are adding a few silver stars or choose glitter tulle to add some sparkle.

Enjoy!

Capturing Great Fireworks Photos This Fourth of July

Larry Kelly has been taking photos for many years. He refined his skills as an amateur photographer when he went digital in 2006. A
retired environmental law enforcement officer, he enjoys photography, writing, and coaching others.
See his work and reach him at
www.lawrencekellyphotography.com

Up for a challenge? Capturing fireworks photos can fill the bill. It takes knowledge, practice, trial-and-error, and some luck to get a really good one.
   Many DSLR’s and point and shoot cameras have a fireworks setting included in their “scene modes” settings. This can actually produce good results if you get the timing down. The photo with this article was taken with a point and shoot.
   Generally, press the shutter when the fireworks are launched while aiming at the general spot in the sky where they are exploding. If this does not produce good results, delay pressing the shutter a little bit after the launch, or try panning the camera and pressing the shutter when they launch.
   If you only have your phone, you still have a shot at getting a fireworks picture. Taking many attempts and holding as steady as possible is key. Better to prop the phone against something, or put it on a tripod, and use your headphones as a remote trigger. Try to anticipate as above. You can also try burst mode as fireworks are launched. If you video them, try taking a screen shot of the bursts. Tricky, but it can work.
   For best results use an SLR with a tripod and cable release in Manual mode.
   You have three options with the DSLR. First, pick an aperture of f/8 and a shutter speed of 5 seconds, press the shutter at launch, and see what happens. Adjust your shutter speed from there, either shorter or longer, and fire away.
   The second is to select a longer shutter speed, like 30 seconds at f/8, and fire away. You will probably get multiple bursts. These can look great. Lower the shutter speed a little if shots are overexposed.
   The third option is to use a much smaller aperture, say f/16, put your shutter speed in “bulb” mode, lock the cable release, and then record multiple bursts by placing a black object in front of the lens between launches. Take the object away for the bursts only. I’d only try this when you already have some good shots using the other methods though.
   Be sure to switch off auto focus and manually focus 1/3 of the distance to the action. Leave the focus on manual. Keep your ISO on a low setting and switch off Long Exposure Noise Reduction on a DSLR.
   It helps to arrive early when there is still some daylight to be able to focus manually and get a good observation point. Personally, I think fireworks photos look best with some background included in the scene.
   Good luck and have a happy and safe Fourth!

Typically, I never write commentary on matters that affect my customers. But, as a small business owner, something has hit a soft spot, so I’m here to fire back. The internet has not only revolutionized our ability to access information, but in a world where consumers evoke their decisions according to what they read online from perfect strangers it is getting out of hand.
   I’m talking about reviews that you find online on yelp, ripoff.com and thousands of other sites where you can find information about a particular business. This is the way I see it, if you are genuinely ripping people off or giving below standard service consistently, well then, shame on you. Your name deserves to go up on that “digital wall of shame”. However, there are businesses out there that are abusing the privilege by placing false reviews in order to make gains for their own business at the expense of another. Yes, you sometimes see negative reviews in print, but with online reviews, it becomes a permanent fixture on your reputation. There are entities out there that have cropped up, calling themselves “reputation management” companies, claiming they can remove negative reviews.
   Maybe so, but it’s a gamble. One that can cost $5,000 to $10,000 to find out. Risky, if you ask me.
   Laser East of Commack has fallen victim to this disgusting practice of businesses making false claims. Though I am not at liberty to mention the business creating these reviews, you know who you are.
   I’m here to tell you that I know the owner personally of Laser East, and in no way have any of these negative reviews been credible. In her own words, she has clearly stated, “if a client of ours would have any problem whatsoever, it would be addressed” I cannot substantiate any of these claims made in these reviews and challenge them to be false. Many of Laser East customers have come forward to express their support and have posted client testimonials on her website at www.lasereast.net and on yelp too. As a consumer before “assuming” reviews on these sites are in fact correct do some homework. You can very quickly check consumer affairs or the Better Business Bureau www.suffolkcountyny.gov/departments/consumeraffairs and www.bbb.org
   Lastly, before you post a less than favorable review, give the business owner a chance to make good on whatever it is you feel was not handled properly. Give them the chance to make good, because once you post a review, you are literally putting the future reputation of that business in your hands.
   Think twice, before you share your hate with the world.

You Stay Classy – San Diego

June 26, 2016

Claudia Fenner is a writer, photographer and travel
enthusiast who is a stay home mom of three in Dix Hills. She loves to plan her family’s vacations and helping her friends and relatives with their vacation ideas.

Wow! I was impressed with San Diego. I have never been a huge fan of California as a vacation spot but after a recent trip there I am hooked.
We had 5 days to travel and needed to rack up as many frequent flier miles (4892 round trip to be exact) as possible to keep our medallion status , so I chose San Diego as our destination for Memorial Day weekend. It was easy to find a flight; Delta, American, and Jet Blue all fly numerous nonstops a day from JFK to SAN. The fare usually ranges between $350 – $500 round-trip.
I researched where to stay and decided upon the Homewood Suites Liberty Station as a centrally located hotel that fit our needs perfectly. 2 bedrooms – check. 2 bathrooms – check. Free breakfast and happy hour and dinner on weekdays – check. Friendly staff, who happily answered my millions of questions – check.
One of the nicest things about San Diego is that nothing seemed to be more than 20 minutes away from the downtown core. We picked up our rental car, checked into the hotel and we were off. 20 minutes later we arrived at Old Town.
   Old Town is a State Historic Park that was created to preserve the rich heritage that characterized San Diego during the 1821 to 1872 period. The park includes a main plaza, exhibits, museums and living history demonstrations. There are numerous restaurants in the park, as well as on the adjacent side streets. We enjoyed an authentic Mexican lunch at Miguel’s Cocina and it was awesome!
For help planning your visit click on www.oldtownsandiego.org
Next day we drove (20 minutes!) to La Jolla to see the Sunny Jim Sea Cave. We descended via a 144-step staircase that provides the only land access to a sea cave in California. Built in 1902 by a German engineer and 2 Chinese laborers they dug the tunnel with picks and shovels to allow tourists to visit the beautiful cave below. We paid the $5 admission fee each and carefully made our way down to sea level.
   It was a thrill to say the least and well worth the trip.
   Go to www.cavestore.com for hours and information.
Downtown San Diego was another lovely day. The historic Gaslamp Quarter has been transformed into a premier shopping, dining, and entertainment neighborhood. It has over 200 restaurants, bars, nightclubs and lounges, boutiques, art galleries, and shops to enjoy. Click on www.gaslampquarter.org to see what awaits you.
Last but not least, we traveled 90 miles north to Anaheim and spent a very full and delightful day at Disneyland’s “California Adventure Park.”
   See www.disneyland.disney.go.com for a wealth of information. It’s a nice twist on the beloved Magic Kingdom experience. A truly classy and grand way to end our truly classy and grand San Diego stay.
