It was in 1893 that the zipper was invented, and it was originally intended to be used in shoes. Elkhart, Ind., has the dubious distinction of being the RV capital of the world. According to a survey by the magazine Vegetarian Times, if youre a vegetarian, you have three percent of the U.S. population for company. Only half of one percent of Americans are vegans, consuming no animal products at all, while 10 percent say they follow a vegetarianinclined diet. If youre like half of all Americans, you live within 50 miles of your childhood home. In 2007, a world record was set off the coast of Brazil when a single wave was caught by 84 surfers. If you were to stack up a million $1 bills, they would weigh about one ton. Colonel Sanders started selling chicken when he was 65 years old, and his only goal was to make $1,000 a month. More books have been written about Abraham Lincoln than about any other American president more than 15,000 to date. Be glad that you did not have the misfortune to be in Bangladesh during record storms in 1985. You might have been brained by the record hailstones, some weighing more than two pounds each.

Books of Note
Reviewed By Larry Cox Island of Vice: Theodore Roosevelts Doomed Quest to Clean Up Sin-Loving New York By Richard Zacks (Doubleday, $27.95) Theodore Roosevelt was a force to be reckoned with, but not even he could tame New York City during the 1890s. During that decade, which would later be called the naughty nineties, the city was home to more than 40,000 prostitutes, countless brothels, gambling dens and all-night dives. There also were criminal rings and thugs of every type imaginable. Although Roosevelt admitted he knew nothing about police management, the 36year-old future president became police commissioner in 1895 and made cleaning up the city his top priority. Roosevelt immediately locked horns with the corrupted powers at Tammany Hall. He began making midnight rambles with muckraker Jacob Rils so that they could observe firsthand the lewd realities that seemed to lurk on almost every corner. As Roosevelt tried to persuade two million New Yorkers that wholesome family fun was more enjoyable than the sinful alternatives, he quickly learned that the citizens of the city loved sin more than salvation. Author Richard Zacks has written a witty, richly detailed account of one of Americas most colorful politicians and his attempt to clean up the seedy underbelly of New York City. If this story had a moral it would be a simple one, namely never try to take a beer away from a New Yorker.

Is Couponing Worth It?


By David Uffington Clipping coupons can shave dollars off your grocery bill. While it might seem like more trouble than its worth, you can save serious money if you develop a plan and stick to it. Start by checking the Sunday newspaper each week. Add up the value of the coupons youll actually use and determine if its worthwhile buying additional newspapers just for the ads. If products you regularly use have coupons, take that as an opportunity to stock up. If you have a computer and a printer, a whole world of potential savings opens up, as there are dozens of websites devoted to couponing. As a starting point, check out these sites: www.dealseekingmom.com, www.redplum.com, www.fatwallet.com and www.coupons.com. Many sites insist that you sign up with an email address, so create a separate email account just for couponing. You might need to sign up for a weekly or monthly newsletter that will include printable coupons. In other cases, once you sign in, youll be able to print coupons immediately. Set a goal for your couponing. Do you just want to shave dollars off your weekly grocery bill? Do you want to concentrate only on the high-dollar items, such as diapers or pet food? Will you use the extra cash for family fun, or put the money in a savings account, or use it to pay off debt? Knowing what your goals are can help you stay consistent. Unless you find over time that youre extremely serious about saving money with coupons, dont fall for the DVD workshops and CDs that will teach you how clip coupons. Youll net plenty of savings with a modest effort that doesnt cost you anything. If you save $5 a week, thats $5 that stays in your wallet.

A Message From The Owner: Brian Oertel

This is Why You Shouldnt Paint Your Stucco!

By the law of physics, the only way to enhance/strengthen stucco is to fortify when mixing. Once cured the stucco is as strong as it can get. Painting traditional cement color coat(s) will eventually trap moisture. All stucco systems, regardless of finish coating, will crack. A residential stucco system typically has a concrete base over a block or framed structure. The stucco system endures constant structural and ground movement, which causes cracking. No finish coating, concrete or elastomeric can completely endure this movement. Elastomeric products are designed to allow elasticity, least likely to crack. However, if the wall faults past its elasticity, it will tear, allowing moisture behind it. Also, elastomeric is moisture resistant. Not Water Proof! Therefore, with a heavy concentration of moisture, it will penetrate the paint/coating. Elastomeric was originally designed for application over a new base coat. Traditional cement color coats are designed to absorb moisture through its layer(s) to the base coats. Hence the need to evaporate quickly. When paint/elastomeric are applied directly over cement color coat(s) and moisture gets behind it (which inevitably will happen), this causes the moisture to be trapped between the paint/elastomeric and the base coat. During freeze and thaw cycles the underlying cement color coat(s) and original base coats freeze, causing delamination. This compromises the entire existing stucco system! Once compromised, the only sure remedy is to relath with a new base coat to eliminate the risk of the paint/elastomeric. A relath with a new base is typically double the cost of a regular restucco! Call me for a comprehensive estimate. My focus is to preserve your existing stucco system.

Money-Saving Moves for Smartphone Users


The allure of smartphones may be hard to resist, but more than one user has been hit by bill shock when they receive a bill that is higher than what they were expecting. Taking a few precautions can help keep costs under control: 1. Be selective with your usage. Smartphones are great tools on the go, but some activities are best left to other devices, like your tablet PC, laptop or PC. Frequently streaming music and videos will take a huge bite out of your monthly data allowance so it may be best to save these activities for devices that are not tied to your cellphone plan. 2. Be realistic about your data needs and then select a plan that best meets your data consumption. Consider whether youll be streaming music or videos, downloading apps or games, sending photos or documents, surfing the web

Hollywood
By Tony Rizzo You can start calling Ashton Kutcher the multi-million dollar man! Word is hell be back next season on Two And a Half Men for $1 million an episode. But before he starts shooting his second season, hell start shooting Jobs, the Steve Jobs biopic about the late Apple tycoon. Looking at pictures of Jobs from his youth reveals he and Ashton could be twins. Jobs former partner at Ashton Apple, Steve Kutcher Wo z n i a k , has given his blessing and says, Steve would have approved of Ashton playing him. On the heels of Julia Roberts beautiful evil witch in Mirror, Mirror, word is that Angelina Jolie is set to play the title role in in the witch who gave Sleeping Beauty a nap shed never forget. Based on the l959 Disney feature cartoon, this will be live action from the witchs point of view, with possibly Elle Fanning as Princess Aurora/Briar Rose. Angelina views Maleficent not as an evil queen, but as misunderstood. I hope in the end you see a woman whos capable of being many things and just protects herself and is aggressive. It doesnt mean she cant have other, warmer qualities. Oscar winner and The View host Whoopi Goldberg is spreading her wings. Last year she produced Sister Act in London and New York, and now plans to produce a documentary about Moms Mabley. For many years, Whoopi talked about Moms Mabley in her nightclub acts and has joined forces with Laugh-In producer George Schlatter and Tom Leonardis to bring I Got Something to Tell You to the screen. In addition, shell produce a 22-minute weeknight talk show, a mix of talk, makeovers and humor for Nickelodeons NickMom programming block.

Couch Theater
By Sam Struckhoff PICKS OF THE MONTH These hits are now available on DVD. Joyful Noise (PG-13) Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah go head to head in this high-volume shipment of cheese and song. Vi (Latifah) is the director of a small-town church choir with dreams of winning the National Joyful Noise Competition. Choir veteran G.G. (Parton) thinks its time the whole choir thing should go Sister Act 2 and get a new style. Soon, G.G.s talented badboy grandson (Jeremy Jordon) and Vis talented-choirgirl daughter (Keke Palmer) start getting too close. For those who cannot digest TVs Glee, steer wide and clear of this one. The songs can be catchy and impressive and even a little uplifting. Its the script and the vacant humor that knock this one off key. The Vow (PG-13) After a car accident takes away his wifes memory of the past five years, Leo (Channing Tatum) is determined to make Paige (Rachel McAdams) fall in love with him again. This is not another adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, but you could have fooled me by the way the posters, previews and plot seem familiar. However, The Vow still has something to offer for the lover of sappy romcoms and seeker of movies for date night.

Helpful Gadgets for Seniors


By Matilda Charles Theres a website that rates gadgets just for us! Elder Gadget ranks cameras, computers and more with an eye to how senior friendly they are. Besides an overall rating, it categorizes products in terms of easy to see, easy to use, easy to hear and easy to understand. If thats not enough, it even gives each item a Cool Factor number. If youre going to buy a gift for a senior or want something helpful for yourself, this might well be a good place to check reviews for useful items. How about a pair of reading glasses that come with two tiny lights next to the lenses? No need for a flashlight if you need to look at something in a lowlight situation. What about a talking thermometer for when youre cooking? You wont need to squint at the tiny numbers on your digital thermometer anymore. Then there are the easy-to-use cameras, those with simple menus that still have a whopping 12 megapixels to take really sharp photos. And how about a small digital emergency-alert radio? With a hand crank, you dont need batup t O

teries, and youll get advance warning of bad weather. One of the best gadgets on the site is a temperature control faucet light. If the water is cool, the color stays blue. Once the temperature rises above 89 degrees F, the light becomes red. No more putting your hands under water thats too hot! The best place to start explor-

ing www.eldergadget.com is with the Find A Review dropdown list on the left side of the screen. It offers more than a dozen categories, including games, cell phones, laptops. Matilda Charles can be reached in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or e-mail columnreply@gmail.com.

Horoscope
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The often skeptical Aries might find that an answer to a question is hard to believe. But check it out before you chuck it out. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your resolute determination to stick by a position might make some people uncomfortable. But a lot of changes will tilt in your favor. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel conflicted between what you want to do and what you should do. Honor your obligations first. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That financial matter still needs to be sorted out. Pressures ease, with news about a potential career change. LEO (July 23 to August 22) A workplace problem threatens to derail your well-planned project. But your quick mind should lead you to a solution. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An opportunity opens up but could quickly close down if you allow pessimism to override enthusiasm. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Youve come through a difficult period. Now concentrate on putting your energy to work. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Forget about whos to blame. Make the first move toward patching up a misunderstanding. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Good news: That trip you put off will soon be back on your schedule. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A mood change could make the gregarious Goat seek the company of just a few friends. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A decision you made in good faith could come under fire. Open your mind to other possibilities. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Avoid being swamped by all those tasks by tackling them one by one, according to priority.

Antique Answers
By Larry Cox Q: I have a set of Elsie and Elmer coffee cups that were given away as premiums by the Borden Company. They are mint. Milton, Albuquerque, N.M. A: Elsie was introduced during the 1930s as a mascot for the Borden Company. In 1940 she married Elmer, who began promoting Bordens glue. Together they had Beulah. Elmer and Elsie appeared on dozens of products, including, of course, your coffee cups. I suspect your set of four are worth in the $12 to $20 range. Q: I recently found a coin that celebrated the Chicago Worlds Fair of 1933. The design includes what appears to be a Nazi swastika, odd for such a coin. Can you explain why this would have been used to promote an American event? James, Wood River, Ill. A: Before the symbol was co-opted by Hitler and his regime, it was used in many ancient religions, including ones in India and China. In America, it often was used in Native American designs in both textiles and pottery patterns. Write Larry Cox in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send email to questionsforcox@aol.com.

Spring Specials

Kitchen Diva
By Angela Shelf Medearis Farmers markets and grocery stores are bursting with strawberries. Strawberries are always a nutritious choice and a wonderful treat. The strawberry got its name from the common practice of growing berries under straw to protect them from winter cold and late spring frosts. A member of the rose family, the strawberry sometimes gives off a rose-like aroma. Many speculate about how the luscious fruit was discovered. It is known that the strawberry goes as far back as the Romans and perhaps even the Greeks. Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, an antioxidant that may reduce the risk of heart disease and some types of cancer. It helps protect the skin from bruising, helps heal cuts and keeps gums healthy. One cup of strawberries provides 3 grams of fiber and only 46 calories. Strawberries also have potassium, which can help maintain healthy blood pressure. When picking or buying packages of strawberries, look for ripe, shiny and brilliantly colored berries without any soft or brown patches. When buying berries packed in a basket, check the bottom to see if there is a juice stain. This means that the strawberries at the bottom are crushed. Dispose of any berries that have signs of mildew or are rotten, as theyll contaminate the rest. Refrigerating strawberries ruins the flavor, and the strawberry aroma is easily picked up by other foods in the refrigerator. Store the berries in a cool place. Strawberries should be lightly rinsed, not washed before serving, and eaten as soon as possible. This Strawberry and Spinach Salad with blue cheese crumbles and a balsamic-based dressing is a berry good way to serve strawberries.

Finding Source of Toilet Puddle


By Samantha Mazzotta Q: The other day I noticed a small puddle of water at the base of the toilet. Its clean water so I think its a leak from the tank, but I cant find any visible drips. What should I do? Christine H., via email A: Try to pinpoint the source of the problem. Visually check the tank and the bowl for cracks most toilets are pretty sturdy, so its unusual for them to crack. The tank is more likely to crack, and if so, it needs to be completely replaced. If you dont find a crack, check the shutoff valve (usually what looks like a faucet handle jutting from the wall below and behind the toilet) and its attached inlet tube for leaks. Flush the toilet so that the tank begins filling, and observe the inlet components. Next, test whether the leak is happening in the tank. Take the tank top off. Flush the toilet and let the tank refill completely. Then, take a crayon or wax pencil and mark the highwater point with a small line. Come back in 10 minutes and see if the water is still at that point or has gone down. If it has fallen below the line, check some possible sources of the leak. First, make sure the flapper valve at the bottom of the tank is completely closed. This is one of the biggest causes of a slow leak from a tank. Once youve eliminated all the smaller reasons for the puddle of water on the floor, its time to look at a more serious possibility: that the seal between the base of the toilet and the floor has begun to fail. Its not a particularly difficult repair, but the toilet will have to be lifted off the base in order for the wax ring to be replaced. If you dont have much experience with toilet repairs, calling a plumber may be necessary.

Touring New Mexico


By Jon Knudsen When I was 25 and visiting California, I had a conversation with a man living on a houseboat in Sausalito. There are two kinds of people in this world, he said, jungle people and horizon people. Which are you? That was a long time ago, and I hope I have it figured out because here I am wandering through some of the most desolate country in New Mexico: the Bootheel. I dont think a person can get farther away from civilization in this state. There is only one center of activity: the border crossing at Antelope Wells... and it is the least used of any of the 43 ports of entry on the Mexican border, averaging about 20 vehicles a day. There are neither antelopes nor wells at Antelope Wells. It was named after an old ranch a few miles north of the border. But Antelope Wells is famous throughout the U.S. for another reason: it is a southern terminus of the Continental Divide Trail.

Time T Paint Again? o

The Continental Divide Trail is a 3,100-mile hiking trail that runs from Mexico to Canada. It winds around on New Mexicos Continental Divide for 700 miles, and it crosses U.S. Highway 81 the paved road running from Hatchita down to Antelope Wells. There is a kiosk with maps and information by the side of the highway. Next to that is a steel box with a notebook containing the signatures of hikers who passed by here in the last year. There were fewer than 20. They started signing in last April heading north, sometimes in groups of two or three... sometimes alone. Near the end of October, a few other hikers showed up, this time heading south, so close to the border their excitement is obvious. They know Mexico lies just beyond the Big Hatchet Mountains just ahead of them. A person can almost see forever out here. That is why the Apaches loved it so: from their camps in the mountains they could see the soldiers coming for 20 miles. The last entrees in the notebook were from a hiker with the trail name of E.T. (Call home...get it?), dated 10/27/11 and again on 10/29. The first one reads, Lots of dead critters in the water around here. TASTY. The last one reads, Hiking back to Lordsburg to take the Greyhound home. Got charged by wild boars in Sheridan Canyon. Congratulations, E.T.! And if you get a chance, well...call.

12 THINGS
to do

IN A BQ
re you looking forward to spending the summer here in the Duke City? Are you having visitors and need to come up with a few interesting ideas? Here are an even dozen things that will keep you on a course to adventure right here at home. 1. Hike to the Crest by the Short Route. There is no one who can argue that the La Luz Trail is the way up to Sandia Crest by which all other trails are measured. The numbers tell the story: eight miles one way and 3,000 feet of elevation gain. Compare that to Tree Spring Trail: two miles one way and 1,000 feet of gain. Not only that, the Tree Spring Trail is mostly in the shade and cooler. It starts above the ski area on the east slope and goes straight up to a low notch on the crest. Perfect. But please take a wilderness map. 2. Canoe the Rio. Had it with hiking? Why not try paddling instead? Quiet Waters Paddling Adventures offers a variety of canoe and kayak experiences including guided and self-guided river trips, plus a Sunset Float which includes a campfire and smores. They operate in the waters along the bosque from Algodones south to the Alameda bridge. Prices start at $28 per person. www.quietwaterspaddling.com. 105

Pleasant View Dr., Bernalillo. 505-771-1234. 3. Drink in the Skyline. There are several rooftop bars and eateries in Albuquerque that give a truly spectacular view of the cityscape. Here are four: the Ibiza Lounge atop the Hotel Andaluz downtown, Imbibe on the corner of Central & Richmond NE, the Apothecary Lounge in Hotel Parq Central right at I-25, and Baileys on the Beach (on Monte Vista near Central) featuring an under $10 seafood menu and a more casual atmosphere. 4. Catch the Isotopes. Baseball is more than a sport, its the national pastime. Here is a chance to sit in the shade behind third base with the sun going down and watch the mountains turn pink. The air takes on a golden glow. Miles to the east, planes drift into the Sunport. And oh... the Isotopes just homered. www.abqisotopes.com. 1601 Avenida Cesar Chavez SE,

location. 6. Circle the Ponds. There are three ponds between Tingley Beach and the Rio Grande. Youll have to cross the bike path and head towards the river. Its a short walk, but a world away. Every season offers something different in this wetlands setting from red-eared slider turtles and coots (water birds) to wigeons and teals (ducks). Bring the youngsters. This is sure to become a family favorite. 7. Ride ABQ Trolley. Touted as The best first thing to do in Albuquerque, taking a ride on the open-air, stuccoenhanced trolley gives a wonderful tour of some of the best of Albuquerque.

Breed-Specific Rescue Groups are Good Adoption Option


Are you looking for a certain kind of furry family member? Consider adoption as an option. Despite popular belief, not all pets needing homes are mixed breeds. In fact, as many as 25 percent of the 8 million dogs and cats in the care of animal welfare agencies are recognizable breeds. As a result breed-specific rescue groups are great options for people interested in adding a specific breed of pet to their family. Narrowing down your options can be tough, but some online tools can help prospective pet parents with their search for the right pet and the right adoption agency. The PetSmart Charities Adoptable Pet Locator, www.peoplesavingpets.org, allows you to search for local adoptable pets based on criteria such as size, gender and breed. Many homeless pets end up that way because their original owners couldnt provide what they needed. Every breed has websites that can help you find the right match for you. Here are some criteria to consider: 1. Space: Some pets do just fine in an apartment; others need more room. Energy is the key, rather than size. Many large-dog breeds spend lots of

time sleeping and are content with daily outings and play, while some small and medium breeds need more opportunities to run and explore. 2. Time and energy: Herding, hunting and other types of dogs and several cat breeds need to keep their brains and bodies busy. Some others are napping professionals. The time needed for training, attention, play and outings can vary depending on breed type. 3. Coat: Some dog and cat breeds must be professionally groomed to stay healthy. Almost all dogs and cats shed, so ask yourself how much hair you are ready to handle. You can find a listing of local adoption agencies at www.peoplesavingpets.org by entering your ZIP code.

Southwest Gardener

Dont Wait Until Its Too Hot!

By Curtis Smith, Ph.D. Q: I have lots of fruit trees loaded with fruit this year, and Id like to protect the fruit from the birds. I used netting one year, and found a bird had gotten stuck in the netting and died. Is there a kind that you recommend? Betty H., via email A: I think bird netting is a good idea for gardeners with fruit-producing plants that are attractive to birds. In choosing a covering, consider the size of the net. It is important that the net material is large enough to reach to the ground where it may be staked to prevent birds from entering the tree from under the net. Another option is to choose a net large enough to reach back to the trunk of the tree where it can be tied, so that the birds are again prevented from entering through the base of the covering. If birds get into the net, from below or from any gap in the coverage, they will be trapped inside. They may injure themselves trying to get out, or they may enjoy feasting on your fruit during their captivity. Another consideration is the weight of the netting material. Thicker, heavier material may last longer, but may weigh

Netting your fruit trees may prevent losing your harvest to birds. When choosing netting, consider the size of the holes and the weight of the material.

heavily on the branches of your trees. Lighter nets will put less stress on the branches. Finally, remember that the netting may provide perching locations for the birds that can then reach through the netting to feast on the fruit near the net. Some gardeners try constructing frames to surround the tree, keeping birds from reaching the fruit. Other gardeners choose to share those fruit near the net material with the birds and harvest fruit unblemished by birds from further inside the netting. With dwarf trees or berry vines, a temporary frame may make sense and be a reasonable thing to construct to protect your harvest.

Heres A Tip
by JoAnn Derson A top coat a day keeps the manicurist away! Revive your polish by giving the ends a quick coat of clear top coat daily to extend the life of your manicure. Keep a map or globe in your family or TV room. This way, when a place is mentioned on the news or in another program, you can find it quickly on the map. This is a great thing to do with kids, but its handy and worthwhile for anyone. If you have a very stinky trash can, scrub it with a paste made from baking soda and just a bit of water. It works as a mild abrasive. Then fill a spray bottle with plain white vinegar and spray. It should foam for a moment. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then rinse well with hot water. Clean and deodorized! Control kids artwork with a digital photo album. Take photos of the best pictures of the month, then arrange them in a scrapbook template and print them out. Keep the pages in a three-ring binder. Label with the childs name. I found a bunch of guttering at a garage sale supercheap, and was inspired to bring it INSIDE my house. I purchased end pieces at my local hardware store and cut the gutters to fit inside my closet. They line the wall all the way up in horizontal rows. I use them to keep shoes, purses, even small baskets of accessories. Its wonderful. T. in Texas Be ready to soothe that sunkissed skin this summer with frozen aloe vera.

CJs Upholstery Restores Life to Worn-Out Furnishings


By Mary Girsch Bock If youre like most people, youre used to seeing furniture in its finished form. Often, we purchase furniture, never thinking about the craftsmanship that went into creating it.

Landscaping Made Easy


By Mike Dooley As I sit on my back patio enjoying a cool drink and soaking in the beauty that surrounds me, I wonder why everyone does not do the same thing! The answer for most folks is that they have the cool drink, but theyre not surrounded by beauty. Sitting and looking at a quarter-acre of grey gravel with a couple of scraggly plants does not a pretty picture make. Many homeowners have no connection to their landscape because it looks so bad. Oh, I know youre thinking my situation is different because Im a landscape designer and I probably spend massive amounts of money and every waking hour working in the yard. Wrong! A good landscape is not cheap, but I spend most weekends in the desert or mountains enjoying natural beauty. This may shock you, but I spend a
Spend more time enjoying your landscape rather than working in it with a low-maintenance design.

Saturday morning working in my yard about twice a year. I have no grass so I dont have to mow, and when Im working on pruning the plants that only takes a short morning and Im done. I keep most weeds out by simply strolling through the landscape and

pulling a handful of weeds as I admire the beauty. Since this is not your hobby and chances are that you know very little about landscape design, you can call a dependable landscape designer and get er done! I didnt do it by myself either. Once you have the comfortable patio furniture, a good barbecue grill, and a wellmaintained and very colorful landscape, then you will understand the term patio culture. Mike Dooley is the designer/ owner of Dooley Landscape Designs.

Men and women of all ages and all sizes who are interested in body contouring and/or fat reduction should consider laser lipo. Does It Hurt? It is completely painless. How Long Does It Take? The standard treatment protocol for most individuals is 9 laser lipo treatments, generally scheduled 3 times per week for 3 weeks. Each standard session takes about 1 hour. What Areas Can You Treat? The most commonly requested area is the abdomen. Other popular treatment areas are love handles, thighs, upper arms, back of knees, back bra strap area, upper chest in men, muffin tops, complete waistline, chin and neck, and face. Is The Loss Permanent? As long as your caloric intake continues to be in balance with your lifestyle, you can maintain results long term. Is It Expensive?

Cutting Edge: Communication Gets the Best Results


By Rena Larraaga Have you ever been to a friends home and asked how their remodeling project went only to have them tell you about the nightmares they had with the contractor? How the project took longer than expected, or the company had to come back several times to fix things. Maybe youve encountered this yourself struggling to work with a service provider who just doesnt seem to get it. that Im an expert at painting, but only the customer can help me know what has them in the mood to paint, when they want it painted, and what they want their job to be like when its finished. John encourages homeowners to do some thinking about what they want from their project as this will help them get the value they are looking for.

say they follow the same process scraping, sanding, priming, and painting the level of each companys attention to each step may not be equal, he says. Ask questions about the amount of effort theyll take to make sure they get all the old paint removed before applying new paint. Do they make sure they get down to a solid, clean surface with sanding so that the end result will last longer? If they sand, what type of equipment will they use? The success of any paint job comes down to the quality of the prep work, and the quality of the

materials, Freeman ads. Along with all of the normal prep of scraping, sanding, and caulking, Cutting Edge can remove wallpaper, replace rotting wood and repair or replace drywall as needed. They can even help with color selection. Their craftspeople take extreme care to protect furniture and surfaces not to be painted.

Use The Power Of Your Mind To Lose Weight!


By Mary Girsh-Bock Americans continue to struggle with obesity. Its currently estimated that 1 in 3 Americans is considered overweight or obese. Just recently, talk show host Oprah Winfrey announced that she had gained 40 pounds, another episode in her saga to lose weight and keep it off. What about you? Despite your best efforts, do you continue to struggle with your weight? Have you lost weight in the past only to put it back on again? Do you continue to struggle with certain foods, unable to eat them in moderation? Why is it so difficult to lose weight, and, more importantly, not gain it back? According to Dr. Marji Prefontaine, until a persons mindset is changed, there will always be a good chance that lost weight will return. That mindset change takes place using hypnosis. What hypnosis does is deal with food as an addiction, says Dr. Prefontaine, who holds a doctorate in marriage and family counseling, and has been in practice for over 30 years. When youre stressed, you tend to eat more, says Dr. Prefontaine. Currently, only 15 percent of the people who lose weight keep it off for two years, says Dr. Prefontaine. But through hypnosis, Dr. Prefontaine says she is able to help her patients determine what is causing their particular food addiction and help them address those issues, and in the process recover from their food addiction. According to Dr. Prefontaine, food is the final addiction. Food addiction is no different from any other type of addiction, says Dr. Prefontaine. In fact, studies have shown that former drug, alcohol and tobacco addicts often end up developing a food addiction as well, says Dr. Prefontaine. Hypnosis changes the thought process. Once the thought process has been changed, you begin to look at food differently. It stops being an addiction and simply becomes fuel for survival. You eat to live, not live to eat. Dr. Prefontaine creates an individualized program for each of her patients. People eat for a variety of reasons, including boredom, stress or depression, says Dr. Prefontaine. For instance, after the program, she says a patient previously addicted to sugar will be able to look at a plate of chocolate chip cookies with indifference. If you take a look at Dr. Prefontaines websites www.weightlossalbuquerque.o rg and www.drmarji.com youll be able to read some of the letters of appreciation she has received, such as the following: Before coming to Dr. Prefontaine I had food on the brain, and now after only two appointments Ive lost eight pounds. Now, I have other things on my mind. Dr. Prefontaine has been great. Thanks, Dr. Marji, says Elizabeth from Albuquerque. Gaby from Albuquerque says, This is by far the best way to lose weight. The first month I dropped 20 pounds and the next month another 10; the best part is that it was so easy. Hypnosis is no longer greeted with the skepticism of years past, says Dr. Prefontaine.

Dr. Marji Prefontaine, PhD., treats weight, alcoholism and smoking with hypnosis. She offers counseling and coaching for relationship and other issues.
Hypnotherapy is now being used for controlling hypertension and easing pain. In fact, Jackson Memorial Hospital in South Florida now uses hypnotherapy during surgery. Hospital studies have shown that patients choosing hypnotherapy over traditional general anesthesia have half as many post-operative complications. Several years ago, the television show 20/20 did a program comparing various weight loss methods, including hypnosis, the Atkins diet, regular workouts, and working with a nutritionist. Hypnosis won, with study participants losing more weight, and losing it easier. Along with offering weight loss programs through hypnosis, Dr. Prefontaine also offers grief therapy, marriage and family counseling, and relationship therapy. If youre going through a divorce, or even considering divorce, chances are that counseling would benefit you, says Dr. Prefontaine, who also offers counseling for kids, along with positive parenting sessions for parents. According to Dr. Prefontaine, psychotherapy can help you better manage stressful situations, establish more fulfilling relationships, resolve longstanding emotional roadblocks, or properly mourn the loss of a loved one. Dr. Marji Prefontaine recognizes that everyones situation is highly unique and requires an individualized treatment program. Whether your issues center around an eating disorder, a desire to lose and keep off weight, or a painful divorce, rest assured that your treatment program will be designed especially for you. To schedule an appointment, call Dr. Prefontaine at 821-1948 or visit one of her websites at www.drmarji.com or www.weightlossalbuquerque.org.

Clear the Air with Duct Cleaning from NM Quality Air


In a typical house, the heating and air conditioning ducts are home to dust, dirt, hair, spider webs, mold, mildew, bacteria, fungi and other microbial organisms. When you turn on your furnace or air conditioner, this matter floats throughout your house causing breathing problems, allergies and other illnesses. Not a very pretty picture, is it? The statistics concerning indoor air quality and air duct cleanliness (or lack thereof) are staggering. In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that indoor air is usually about 70 percent more polluted than the air you breathe outside. With a customer base ranging from allergy sufferers to movein or regular maintenance and post-construction home cleaning, New Mexico Quality Air offers the following services: Air Duct Cleaning By removing the vent covers from your homes heating and ventilation system, technicians are able to brush and vacuum the entire unit, allowing for a better breathing environment.

energy usage by up to 21 percent. This can save you considerable money on your utility bills. 2. System Durability. Its estimated that nine out of 10 central heating and air conditioning systems fail or break down because proper maintenance was not performed. Routine maintenance is typically less expensive than major repairs. 3. Your Homes Air Quality. Air duct cleaning is essential to maintaining healthy indoor air. Particles in your homes ventilation system can be released into the air, if your vents are not cleaned regularly. 4. Allergies. If any family members have allergies, air duct cleaning can significantly reduce allergens in your home. 5. Remove Odors. A musty odor in your home can mean that dust, mold or mildew may be present in the air ducts, and no amount of air fresheners will eliminate that. Air duct cleaning

can eliminate the smell almost completely. In addition to routine cleaning, its recommended that you consider having your air vents professionally cleaned after any of the following events: water entering your ducts (leaky pipe, leaky roof, condensation from your air conditioner), a fire nearby, a flood in your home, major home remodeling, or moving into a new home. New Mexico Quality Air technicians will assess each individual situation, and recommend the best cleaning process for any air duct, carpet, area rug, or upholstered furniture.

s and anxiety.

A Rehab loan, also known as a 203K loan, is a type of loan that allows a homebuyer to finance home repairs into their original loan. I have clients that just cant find that perfect home. Either its not the right floor plan, the roof needs to be repaired, the windows are outdated, etc. The 203K or Rehab loan allows the purchaser to buy the home in its current Brian Ortiz condition, borrow money to repair the Realtor home, and be able to create a home of their dreams. A buyer may use the rehab mortgage program for their primary home, second home or even an investment home. An individual must qualify for the loan and the home MUST appraise for the price to purchase plus the cost of repairs. The amount of the construction can be as little as $1,000 or up to $50,000. I have many clients that fixed up an UGLY home and now own the best home on the block with equity. So if you think this may be an option for you lets discuss it. I work with experienced rehab loan officers and a 203K/Rehab contractor who is educated in the process. I also am involved throughout the process to support your rights and satisfaction. If you have questions about how you may be able to get a Rehab/203K loan, give me a call.
