    According to a recent update fromMLSLI, the local housing marketindicates a strong demand for a limitedsupply of homes for sale. This seeminglyhas outweighed the effects of highermortgage rates, at least for the time being.The anticipation of mortgage rates risingfurther is likely spurring some of thedemand. The dream of home ownershipis very much intact, reports MLSLImarket update, but buyers should beprepared with competitive offers. JosephE. Mottola, CEO of MLSLI, said in theSeptember Market Update: The LongIsland housing market indicators reflect acontinuing recovery cycle as sales activity

    and closings are up from a year ago.Pricing, affected by declining inventorylevels, is also moving upward.

    We are pleased to report , asof the writing, that so far Octobersnumbers seem much more positive thenSeptembers, which showed a slow down.Lets look at a rough estimate of OctoberUNDER CONTRACT numbersfor Nassau, Suffolk and Queens, forresidential sales only as reported toMLSLI:

    The above is encouraging and strong;

    units are up in all categories with strongresults in Nassau & Suffolk. Average listprice is even or up in all counties, dayson market are down in all counties, withSuffolk showing the strongest results.

    So whats happening in our world?Taking a closer look at the Roslyn marketand neighboring locales, the Star Teamis happy to report their own recordbreaking results in record breakingtimewhich totaled $15,852,500 in salesprimarily for the month of October( 13 transactions), end of September(3 transactions) and the beginning ofNovember( 3 transactions)! Of the 19transactions, 10 of the transactions were

    at full asking price, over asking price

    or slightly under asking price. Exactnumbers to be released when sales have

    closed.

    Local experts stated that their own

    data shows that while housing pricesremain well below the peak achieved in

    2007, they have begun climbing again

    largely because of a low inventory ofhomes for sale.

    We are starting to see prices rise

    said Jonathan Miller, President andCEO of Miller Samuel, a real estate

    consulting and appraisal firm based inManhattan. He said the medium home

    prices on Long Island, excluding the east

    end, were 4.1% higher for the 3rd Q forthis year. He further states housingprices are firming up because inventory

    is so low.

    As for buyers, now may be the besttime in terms of mortgage rates. This

    was clearly reflected in a recent article

    in Realtor.com that summarized FreddieMacs latest U.S. Economic and Housing

    Market Outlook. Freddie Mac estimates

    that 30 year fixed loans will hoveraround 4.3% through the end of the

    year and then begin heading higher in

    early 2014.Other significant market data from

    this latest U.S. Economic and Housing

    Market Outlook:

    Due to the U.S. governmentshutdown, growth projections forthe national housing market werescaled back by 0.5%

    Foreclosed home sales and depressedlevels of new home construction areresulting in tighter inventories forhomebuyers leaving them withfewer houses to choose from andhigher prices

    New housing units will top out at1 million this year and 1.15 millionnext year, levels that Freddie Macanalysts call below normal.

    The U.S. housing market is at themercy of a sluggish U.S. economy,which is expected to reach full

    potential until 2015 or later The housing recovery keeps

    chugging along despite a constantbarrage of disruptions to the broadereconomy, Frank Nothaft, FreddieMac Vice President and ChiefEconomist, said in a statementreleased with the report. Werelikely going to see the housingrecovery slow down but not shutdown, as we close out the rest ofthis year due to tight inventoriesin many markets, rising mortgagerates and slumping consumerconfidence. Fortunately, thehousing recovery should continueto absorb the economic shock instride and improve next year.

    Low mortgage interest rates andlow inventory have created a sense ofurgency among buyers, thus propellingsales. Its not that the economy is sostrong, nor that we have more buyersin the market, and we are certainly notin 2007 again. Industry observers advisesellers not to take a chance and strikewhile the market is still relatively hot.And like sellers, buyers should act now;they have their best options now.

    SPORTS & HOBBIES

    You win some and you lose some,

    Elijah Shumate says. Still, he is not themost reliable source on this. He has wonplenty, yes, as a member of a goliath highschool program and then during NotreDames glistening season last fall.

    He has not, however, lost some. Hehas lost one.

    Once in the last four years hasShumates football team lost a game.That was in January, against Alabama,in the BCS championship game. It wasin a locker room swollen with silencethat the now-sophomore safety wasreacquainted with a sensation he hadntfelt since 2008.

    Youre used to winning, Shumatesaid. So you have that winning

    attitude. But it happens.I knew I was going togo through it sometime in my life.I was preparedfor it. It justmotivated meto get better thisyear.

    He shouldbe moreresponsiblefor gettingthe Irish wellagain, so fara p p ea r i n gto earn a

    p r o m o t i o n

    from nickel back to starting safetyalongside incumbent Matthias Farley.

    Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said

    hes pleased with Shumates progressbut hesitated to award Shumate a full-time job, probably a nod to a learningcurve the 6-foot, 213-pounder stillnavigates.

    I dont think Elijah has nailed downanything, but hes going to be on thefield, Kelly said. Hes a guy that everyday has to continue to progress.

    The raw material is there. TheAlabama meltdown was the first time in55 games that Shumate suffered defeat.The last time was a freshman-year lossat Paterson (NJ) Catholic High Schoolthat preceded an unblemished three-yearrun with monolith Don Bosco Prep and

    a 12-0 season with the Irish.

    He knows winning, and heknows one speed: Full.

    Shumate is a rovingScud missile. During

    practice Saturday,receiver DaVarisDaniels juggleda deep balland Shumateensured the

    incompletionby delivering

    a percussive hit thatpractically echoed offHesburgh Library.

    Hell goup and smack

    a n y b o d y ,

    Farley said. Hes a lot of fun to playbeside because of that. Hes fearless.

    If there is mental rewiring to be

    done, some of it is discretion-versus-valor calculation.

    You have to be a lot more patient,you have to be smart, Shumate said.It takes a lot of thinking. You have toknow when to be aggressive and whennot to be.

    As for the crucial communicationaspect, Shumate could request no betterpartner than Farley.

    One year ago Farley was the newbie,a converted receiver creating rapportwith veteran Zeke Motta. Shumate hasevolved from mostly cornerback-likeduties, and Farley knows the anxiety ofsimply not wanting to be wrong.

    You can watch as much film as you

    want, you can talk about it as much asyou want, but its really that on-fieldexperience that builds that bond, Farleysaid. Being not so far removed frombeing in Elijahs shoes, it makes it easierfor me to relate and help him out whereI can.

    At some point, Notre Dame will loseagain. Even in a new role, Shumate justisnt inclined to plan for the worst.

    When you prepare yourself in theright way, (confidence) becomes secondnature, Shumate said. Thats whenyoure able to go out there and justplay. n

    ART S & ENTERTAINMENT

    By Gina McIntyre

    Theres a pub in North

    London called the WorldsEnd that sits across fromthe Camden Town tube station.Luminaries, including CharlesDickens, figure among its famouspatrons, but its also important inthe annals of British comedy as theplace where Simon Pegg and Edgar

    Wright would meet up in the earlyyears of their creative partnership,grabbing a pint after seeing movies

    likeX-Menat a nearby cinema.So when it came time for the

    pair to write the screenplay fortheir film about a 40-ish man ina state of arrested developmentwho inadvertent ly stumbles ontoan intergalactic conspiracy duringa small-town pub crawl, the title

    was a given: The Worlds End.The place even held a specialsignificance for Nick Frost, Peggs

    longtime onscreen comic foil andoffscreen best friend.

    Me and Simon used to meetthere to go to the movies becausethere was an Odeon cinema,Wright explained. Simon wenton his first date with his wife there,and Nick Frost fell off the wagon

    after two years of not drinking atthe Worlds End. He broke upwith a gi rl and went s traight to the

    Worlds End and got hammered.Perhaps not surprisingly, plenty

    of alcohol is consumed in the newapocalyptic comedy from Wright,Pegg, and Frost, which sees Peggcast as the clueless, obnoxiousGary King, a former punk rockrebel who coerces, guilt trips, andlies to his high school pals tolure them back to their hometownto attempt a famous pub crawlknown as the Golden Mile.

    Drinking their way through12 pubs in the quaint hamlet ofNewton Haven, the old friendsplayed by an impressive roster ofEnglish actors including Martin

    Freeman, Paddy Considine, EddieMarsan, and Frostfind tensionrunning high as past rivalries andwounds re-emerge.

    And that s before they runafoul of invading alien robots whobleed blue ink and have sinisterdesigns on the human race.

    Over the course of three filmstogether, Wright, Pegg, and Frosthave garnered a following for theirpreternatural ability to blend thesilly and the serious into a frothy,satisfying, decidedly English brew.The Worlds End moves with thesame oddball, kinetic rhythms

    as their previous movies, 2004szombie rom-com Shaun of theDead and 2007s action movie

    send-up Hot Fuzz.The new movie, though just as

    enjoyably offbeat and remarkablyquick-witted as the first two, alsooffers the most overt explorationof the more sophisticated concernsthat have always underpinned thetrios genre-centric comedy.

    All of those genres that wevetaken on, the reason for them ...is that they are Trojan Horseswhich we can smuggle in morehuman stories, said Pegg, seatedbetween his filmmaking comradesat Hollywoods own English pub,the Cat and the Fiddle. Shaunof the Dead is about growing up,

    and Hot Fuzz is about friendshipand about having to dumb down alittle bit sometimes if you want toget something done. The WorldsEnd is about male friendshipand letting go and nostalgia andaddiction.

    Most American comedies arelike Hershey bars, and we like to belike those gourmet dark chocolateswith bits of sea salt in them,Wright added. Its chocolate-yand then you go, Oh!n

    options now. Even though

    inventory is tight, we dont expect

    that to change until prices rise

    higher. The best deals are the ones

    available now.

    Why Sell Your House Now?

    While many buyers realize

    that it is a great time to buy a

    home, it is also an opportune time

    to sell your house! Here are the

    five reasons we believe that now is

    the perfect time to put your house

    on the market.

    DEMAND IS HIGH

    The most recent Existing

    Home Sales Reports by the

    National Association of Realtors

    (NAR) show a double digit

    percent increase in sales year-

    over year; sales have remained

    above last years levels for over

    25 months. There are buyers

    out there right now and they are

    serious about purchasing.

    SUPPLY IS AT ANALL TIME LOW

    Many expect inventory to

    rise as 3.2 million homeowners

    escaped the shackles of negative

    equity in the last 12 months and

    an additional 1.9 million are

    expected to enter positive equityin the next 12 months. Selling

    now while demand is high and

    before supply increases may

    garner you your best price.INTEREST RATES WILL AGAIN

    RISE

    Although Freddie Macs

    Primary Mortgage Market Survey

    shows that interest rates for a

    30-year mortgage have softened

    recently, most experts predict

    that they will begin to rise later

    this year. The Mortgage Bankers

    Association, Fannie Mae, Freddie

    Mac and the National Association

    of Realtors are in unison projecting

    that rates will be up almost a full

    percentage point by this time next

    year. The anticipation of risingrates has presently spurred buyeractivity.

    Whether you are moving upor moving down, your housingexpense will be more a year fromnow if a mortgage is necessary topurchase your next home.

    NEW CONSTRUCTIONIS COMING BACK

    Over the last several years,

    most homeowners selling theirhome did not have to competewith a new construction projectaround the block. As the marketis recovering, more and morebuilders are jumping back in.These shiny new homes willagain become competition as theyare an attractive alternative formany purchasers.

    ITS TIME TO MOVE ONWITH YOUR LIFE

    Look at the reason you arethinking about selling and decidewhether it is worth waiting. Is the

    possibility of a few extra dollars

    a few years down the road more

    important than being with family;

    more important than having the

    freedom to go on with your life

    the way you think you should?

    You already know the answers

    to the questions we just asked. You

    have the power to take control of

    your situation by moving forward.

    The time may have come for you

    and your family to move on and

    start living the life you desire.

    That is what is truly important!

    Our advice to buyers and

    sellers is to seize the moment

    the time is now!

    Being a realtor means more to

    us than selling houses. Its about

    people, families and their hopes

    and dreams. For a relationship

    based on trust, knowledge and

    expertise when selling or buying

    your next home, contact Joyce

    Give Your

    CeilingsSome

    By Kathryn Weber

    Todays houseshave reached newheightsin ceilings.

    Popular designs for the fifthwall range from tray ceilingsand crown mouldings tobeams and coffering. Someceilings soar to dizzying

    heights, suffused with lightor accented with stained glassor dramatic works of art. Butwhat can you do to add pizzazzto an average 9-foot ceiling?In fact, its pretty simple tomake your ceilingsand therooms theyre inlook morestriking and stylish.

    BE BOLD

    Even if your ceilings are

    only 9 feet high, that doesntmean your furniture has tobe scaled down. By addinglarger-scale pieces, you bringthe eye up and visuallyexpand the room.

    Take, for instance, afamily room with a 9-footceiling and an entertainmentcenter almost as tall. Because

    of its grand scale, theentertainment center makesyou look up. And with itsimpressive size, it will getthe attention rather than thelower ceiling.

    Theres an importantdecorating rule, though, thateven if you can use a large,bold piece of furniture in aroom with a low ceiling, keepit to a single piece. If there

    are too many tall pieces offurniture in the room, theeffect is lost.

    HIGHLIGHT CEILING

    The standard protocol formaking ceilings seem higheris to paint them white, butthere are other options. Oneway to blur the lines between

    the ceiling and the walls is topaint both the same color.They will blend together into

    one soaring, open space.Another chic trick to add

    light is to paint your ceiling ametallic color. If your diningroom feels closed in with alow ceiling, why not paintit a shimmery bronze or

    antique gold? The shine willlift the room and add style.Metallic paints, with theirlight-bouncing properties,also raise the ceiling visually.

    OTHER TRICKS

    To make your ceilinglook higher, avoid hangingdraperies in the window

    opening. Instead, hang them6 to 8 eight inches downfrom the top of the ceiling.Raising the curtains this waybrings the eye up and makesthe whole room look larger.Adding long panels createsa nice long line from almostthe top of the ceiling to thefloor.

    If youre extra daring,hang your drapes right at the

    ceiling. This can really givethe room a boost in height.The panels will add plenty ofvertical height because theyappear as long stripes.

    Look for artwork thatsvertical rather than horizontal,and use striped wallpaper orpaint stripes on the wall forstill more eye-raising appeal.

    Of course, a trompe loeilpainting of the sky is tough tobeat for pushing your ceilingto new visual heights. Anddont overlook lighting. Canlights, ceiling fixtures andtrack lighting can all add theillusion of height. n

    The spiffy five-bedroom house on a quietcul-de-sac in Miramar, Florida, hit the marketfor $379,900 on a Monday. By the close ofbusiness, there were two offers, but listingagent Carlos Martin was preaching patience.

    Tempting as it may have been to pick oneright then, seller Robert Kull waited a weekfor more offers to materialize.

    It was a wise choice. The home ultimatelydrew five bids. Kull rejected two cash deals infavor of a full-price offer from a buyer willingto pay above appraised value.

    We knew it was a real strong market,

    Kull said. Carlos said if we just hold out,well get a full-price offer, and sure enoughwe did.

    Multiple offers are the Holy Grail ofthe housing recovery, but it takes skill anda dash of diplomacy to sort through all the

    possibilities.Homes in good condition and priced

    fairly almost certainly will attract more thanone offer, real estate agents say. Demand farexceeds supply across most of the nation, soinvestors and young families are all circlingthe same properties hoping to hit pay dirt.

    Multiple offers is the last thing buyerswant to hear and the first thing sellers wantto be able to say, said Michael Corbett, ablogger for the Trulia.com real estate website.

    Still, that doesnt mean all sellers arenecessarily rejoicing, said Judy Trudel, anagent with Balistreri Realty in Floridas PalmBeach and Broward counties.

    When you have multiple offers, it soundslike youre in the drivers seat, Trudel said.But its a very stressful situation.

    Not every multiple-offer situation turnsout well. Real estate agent Carrie Hazen hada client who received three offers on her Coral

    Springs, Florida, home.Thats the good news. The bad? When the

    seller made counteroffers late last month, allthree buyers bailed.

    One of the buyers told Hazen she wasbacking out because another seller hadaccepted her contracteven though itsunethical for a buyer to submit more than oneoffer at a time.

    Back to the drawing board, Hazen said.There are no slam dunks.

    Agents are not necessarily required by lawto disclose when their listings get two or morewritten offers. But a National Association ofRealtors code of ethics states that agents must

    make the disclosure if the buyer asks.In most cases, the listing agent will collect

    the offers, announce there are competingbids, and have everyone come back with theirhighest and best offers so the seller can pickone.

    But some agents and sellers take a differentapproach.

    Theyll negotiate individually with thebuyers, making different counteroffers toeach, even though they ultimately can signonly one contract.

    Playing one offer against the other usuallypushes the price higher and allows sellers toassess the motivation and financial strength ofall the buyers, Corbett said.

    That strategy paid off for Mike Killi,whos selling his four-bedroom home in CoralSprings. The half-dozen bids gave him and hisagent, Dean Ehrlich, the leverage to go backto each buyer and seek more money and the

    most favorable terms.They had an offer for $5,000 above the

    $325,000 list price. But the buyer needed amortgage, and there was no guarantee thehome would appraise. No appraisal is neededin a cash sale.

    Killi ultimately took a cash deal for $2,000more than the asking price.

    Were really happy with the way it turnedout, said Killi, 33, a social marketing managerfor an advertising firm. When you put yourhouse on the market, youre really nervous.When you get multiple offers, it very quicklyputs you at ease.

    As Killi showed, the highest price isntnecessarily the best offer. Some of the otherconsiderations: the amount of down payment,

    how soon the buyers want to close, andwhether theyll agree to pay the difference ifthe home doesnt appraise.

    Price is important, but its just one factor,Broward agent Tim Singer said.

    Sellers shouldnt drag out multiple offerslonger than a week, said Samantha DeBianchi,an agent in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Its justgood manners.

    But for some buyers, no amount ofetiquette will cushion the blow of not gettingthe home.

    Somebody is going to get hurt or feellike they were treated unfairly, said RandyBianchi, broker-owner of Paradise Propertiesof Florida in West Palm Beach, Florida.

    Multiple offers can turn off a lot of peoplebecause theres always a winner and a loser. n

    Multiple Offers

    Put Sellers in Control

    South Florida home sellers are in the envious position of having to sort through multipleoffers. Mike Killi received a cash deal for $2,000 more than the asking price.

    An Innovative Community Leader forKids and Her CommunityBefore Stacey Siegel started her family,

    she was drawn to the Village of East

    Hills because of its spacious homes and

    properties, the beautiful trees and its

    close proximity to Manhattan. But, after

    moving into her new home, one of her first

    observations was how quiet it was when

    she walked her dogs. It felt like I was the

    only person living here she said. Then,

    once she had her two children she became

    driven with a goal: to bring people closer

    together and build an even greater sense of

    community.

    She was not the only one with this boldand ambitious concept. Village leaders had

    the same idea. Through the inspirational

    and visionary leadership of Mayor Koblenz

    and the East Hills Village leaders, the

    Park at East Hills opened in 2006 making

    this community one of the most unique

    places to live in America. The Park at East

    Hills features a large community pool,

    tennis courts, a community gym, a nature

    walk, a dog run, a theatre and is home to

    the Village Hall. The Park at East Hills

    instantly became the main street of the

    village as a place for all to enjoy and use in

    the community.

    Stacey also recognized that the Park

    was the perfect place for people to get

    together in order to meet, socialize and

    build friendships. According to Stacey,

    on almost every day during the summer,

    you can just show up to the Park, bring

    your kids to play and swim, and you are

    certain to meet friends or make new ones.

    Stacey recalls that since everyone

    was enjoying the social experience at the

    Park, she resolved to find a way to find

    programs and fun activities for families

    during the winter. In this way, young

    families would have programs year-round.

    Lets fast forward to today. Now, we

    can see the proven success of Staceys vision

    and her idea to form a highly motivated

    Kids in the Park Committee. Their goal

    is to hold major events for the children

    in the Village and build fun, excitement,

    jest and spirit in East Hills. Her concept

    worked on a grand scale.

    Through the hard work, diligence

    and concentrated efforts of Stacey Siegel,

    Chair of Kids in the Park, and her team

    consisting of Althea Shapiro, Vice Chair,

    and members: Celia Ayenesazan, Wendy

    Bishop, Melissa Brooks, Risa Eshaghian,

    Jodi Golden, Brett Goldman & Jessica

    Vishnick, together with supervising

    trustees: Manny Zuckerman, Deputy

    Mayor, Clara Pomerantz and PeterZuckerman, they have brought a special

    verve and vitality to the Community.

    Their popular performances have included

    magicians, singers, story tellers, comedians,

    and even stilt walkers. They even created a

    Childrens Garden this summer. Its fun,

    its exciting, and its energizing. Kids in the

    Park and kids all across the community are

    enthralled.

    All of the programs rely on sponsorships

    and donations of local businesses and the

    help of volunteers in order to run its events.

    The Village welcomes all local businesses

    & volunteers to lend their support.

    The Halloween Spooktacular event

    was one of the many major events that

    Kids in the Park held this year. Upcoming

    events include Mommy and Me music

    classes, a fundraiser when every family

    in East Hills will have the opportunity

    to purchase a tile, paint a picture and

    be permanently inscribed at the Parks

    playground. Local artist Michael Korol

    will be holding educational classes for the

    kids to learn about painting so that they

    can transform their tiles into works of art.

    Stacey says this is intended to be a special

    experience for the kids because they will

    be able to come back to the Park and seetheir artwork year after year. The tiles are

    expected to be mounted at a ceremony this

    coming Memorial Day.

    Now, there is always something

    happening in East Hills. In December,

    for example, during the school vacation,

    the Committee is planning workshops

    which feature the National Circus Project,

    including a juggling performance.

    In May, an American Idol style show

    called Music Idol will be held with

    competition from the kids of East Hills.

    Music auditions begin in the spring with a

    final performance scheduled for May 31st.

    Its no wonder that Mayor Koblenz has

    said Stacey and her committee members

    have infused a new sense of excitement.

    We are all deeply indebted to her and her

    committee members for caring so much,

    and for created a new entertainment zone

    at our Park.

    East Hills is now an even more special

    place to live because of Stacey and all

    the fine results of her committee. Their

    efforts have contributed greatly to the

    communitys new slogan for East Hills that

    reads: The Future is Here!

    For more information about the Kids

    in the Park events, please refer to the

    Village of East Hills website at www.

    Local Author CallsRoslyn Estates Home

    Stephanie Sorkin and her husband chose the unique Villageof Roslyn Estates as their familys place to live because it offeredthe convenience and close proximity to the City, the Long IslandExpressway and Brooklyn, where Stephanies husband works. RoslynEstates is also just a short stroll to the Americana Shopping Center, oneof the best places to shop.

    What really impressed Stephanie about Roslyn Estates, once hometo Christopher Morley, is its beauty and picturesque rolling hills,

    walking trails and lovely ponds, where you will find charming 1930shomes with spacious lots and an abundance of trees. According toStephanie, even the newer homes maintain the architectural integrityof the neighborhood. Stephanie says Roslyn Estates is a close knitcommunity where neighbors know each other and are really therefor one another, during good times and bad times, such as Hurricane

    Sandy. Stephanie and her family just wouldnt think of living anywhereelse!

    Stephanie says that area residents can also enjoy the many featuresthat the Christopher Morley Park offers. The Park named afterChristopher Morley, is home to the Knothole, Morleys one room

    wooden cabin, which he used as his studio, and now renovated by theCounty as a historic site. With its five tennis courts, four lighted handballcourts and two paddle-tennis courts as well as softball, hardball andvolley ball athletic fields and LittleLeague, a 9 hole par-30 golf course,renovated playground and outdoorswimming pool, Stephanie and herfamily find the Park the perfectplace to meet up with friends andneighbors and have fun.

    Nature lovers and outdoorenthusiasts will also find a fitnesstrail. There is even a dog run. From

    mid-May to late November, theWednesday Farmers Market offersa terrific selection of fresh fruit,product and local specialty items.In the wintertime, there is an outdoor ice skating rink, named by News12 Long Island viewers as the best outdoor skating rink on Long Island.

    As a mother of a child with food allergies, Stephanie wanted to makea difference. So she wrote a childrens book designed for children ages4-8 entitled Nutley, the Nut-free Squirrel, about an adorable squirrelthat doesnt let his allergies to nuts slow his lifestyle down. Stephaniedonates 100% of the books sales proceeds to FARE, dedicated to foodallergy research and education. Stephanie and her book have receivedtremendous support from the community, including local retailers,Funky Monkey, Lesters and Please Mom who feature the book in theirstores. Again demonstrating just how supportive this community really

    is, making it a truly special place to live. n

    DirectionsServes 6Put the chicken breasts in a single

    layer in a shallow nonreactive pan; orput them in a heavy-duty zipper-sealedplastic bag large enough to hold themcomfortably. Set aside.

    In a mixing bowl, put the soy sauce,honey, ginger, scallions, garlic, and redpepper flakes. Whisk until thoroughlycombined.

    Pour the marinade over the chickenin the pan, or into the plastic bag.Cover the pan with plastic wrap; or sealthe bag and place it in a clean bowl.

    Put the chicken in the refrigerator tomarinate for about 3 hours, turningthe chicken pieces in the pan halfwaythrough or moving the chicken breastsin the bag as necessary to keep them all

    in contact with the marinade.

    Meanwhile, prepare the Plum

    Chutney (recipe at right).

    About half an hour before

    cooking, remove the chicken from the

    refrigerator and leave at cool room

    temperature while you prepare a fire in

    an outdoor grill.

    When the fire is hot, remove the

    chicken breasts from the marinade and

    pat dry with paper towels. Discard the

    marinade. Put the chicken breasts on a

    platter or tray and drizzle all over with

    the peanut oil.

    Grill the chicken breasts until nicelybrowned and cooked through, about

    10 minutes per side. Transfer them to

    a clean platter and serve immediately,

    passing the chutney at the table.

    By Lesley Kennedy

    Maybe you blew all your cash on

    back-to-school shopping for the

    kids. Or you waited too long to

    shop the summer clearance racks and all that

    was left was XS or XXL sizes. Or, if youre

    like us, you refuse to pay retail on the fall

    items hitting stores now, so youre waiting

    for those sales to start. But you just want to

    buy something fresh and new. We have two

    words: Nail. Polish.

    No other fashion item makes such an

    impact for so little money. And, when polish

    often costs less than your morning latte, youwont feel guilty picking up several bottles of

    the stuff.

    Whether you normally keep your nails

    bare, rely on bright red, or keep it demure

    with a pale pink, fall 2013 (yes, its already

    here, ladies) polish trends are all about

    going dark, adding texture and letting your

    personalityand your fingertipsshine.

    Here are some colors and styles to start

    trying now. And just be patient for those

    clothing sales. Theyll be coming round

    in about the time it takes to let your new

    manicure dry.

    NOW, IN 3-D!

    Last seasons nail art is getting even

    wilder with texturizing treatments that are

    not for the shy or trend-phobes. But if you

    are fashion-forwardor just ready to take

    a risktry a polish that gives your nails a

    3-D effect, be it stick-on gems, glitter, press-

    on texturized wraps, or even sequin polish.

    Bold? Yes. Beautiful? You bet!

    Your way: Heard of the Caviar Manicure,

    that pricey salon style that leaves you with

    nails covered in tiny, colorful beads? Get it at

    home with the Ciate Sugar Caviar Manicure

    in Tutti Frutti, Cotton Candy, or Lemon

    Fizz, for $25 at www.sephora.com. Start

    with a peach, pastel blue, or lemon base coat,

    and top it off with caviar pearl sprinkles for a

    look-at-me moment.

    METAL EDGE

    There was a whole lot of gold, silver,

    and bronzenot to mention metallicpinks, purples, and blueson the fall 2013

    runways. But the shiny love affair didnt stop

    there.

    Your way: Go for Sally Hansens Platinum

    Star or the brands Hi Ho Silver, $7, at www.

    drugstore.com, on your tips with a neutral

    base coat. Feeling the sparkle? Paint the

    whole nail for a true shining moment.

    DEEP BORDEAUX

    Give your regular red mani a fall twist by

    taking it darkreally dark. Call it Bordeaux

    or oxblood or burgundy, but it translates into

    one thing: vamp.

    Your way: Try Deborah LippmannsDark Side of the Moon, $17, at www.beauty.

    com. For a less expensive option, theres

    always Essies Bordeaux, $8, at www.target.
