ema. Martin Scorseses first
foray into 3-D movies shows
that the right filmmaker can
make the technology more than
a gimmick. Asa Butterfield
plays Hugo, a young boy in
1930s Paris who is fascinated
with clockwork. His late father
(Jude Law) left him a mysteri-
ous gizmo that hes determined
to understand. While looking for
clues, Hugo must enlist the help
of a toyshop owner (Ben
Kingsley) and outwit the bum-
bling station inspector (Sacha
Baron Cohen).

Take Shelter (R) This
chilling drama about a man and
his fears is quiet, slow, gripping
and hard to forget. Curtis
(Michael Shannon) is a husband
and father in small-town Ohio
who starts having apocalyptic
nightmares. The sense of dread
seeps into his waking life as he
quietly becomes obsessed with
rebuilding an old tornado shelter
in the backyard. Turmoil sur-
faces as his wife, his friends and
his community start to doubt his
sanity and his ability to care for
his daughter.
Shannon knocks it out of the
park, playing a good man with a
quiet demeanor who is unable to
cope with whats inside.

Selecting the right workout
gear can make all the differ-
ence when pursuing a life of
health and fitness. The four
tools below are designed to
help individuals achieve their
wellness goals, whether kick
starting a new workout regime
or taking a current routine to
the next level.
1. Shoes that suit the exer-
cise. Its important to select
shoes that are designed to per-
form each specific workout
activity; a running shoe may
look similar to a tennis shoe,
but they feel different. Go to a
specialty store for a proper fit-
ting and select a style that suits
your specific needs; those with
flat feet should choose motion-
control shoes, while those with
a high arch should opt for
greater cushioning.
2. Low-impact resistance
band. A resistance band pro-
vides an inexpensive way to
perform a variety of low-
impact yet effective exercises,
particularly for smaller body
parts that are harder to train
using free weights. Bands
come in several different ten-
sion levels to increase the
workouts difficulty, and their
small size allows for easy stor-
age and portability.
3. Exercise ball for daily
use. The exercise ball is popu-
lar in gyms across the country
and even at many workplaces
as a substitute for a desk chair.
The ball is a great tool for
building the core muscles such
as abs, back and hips, which
help promote overall stabiliza-
tion of the body.
4. Comfortable yoga mat.
Lying on the floor during a
workout can feel uncomfort-
able, but a good mat can make
all the difference. A good yoga
mat can cushion the hard sur-
face of a tile or wood floor and
protect a carpet from extra
wear and tear. Most mats are
thin but offer excellent
padding and grip; they wont
slide across the floor.

You've probably been hearing
the talk of federal light bulb reg-
ulations for years, but in 2012,
the talk will become reality, and
these regulations will begin to
take effect. While California res-
idents began the transition in
January 2011, the federally
mandated phase-out of less effi-
cient incandescent light bulbs
began with the 100-watt light
bulb on Jan. 1, 2012, so now is
the time for the rest of the coun-
try to make the switch.
Before you begin considering
your options, heres a quick
review of how the new regula-
tions will work:
Incandescent, or traditional,
100-watt light bulbs for general
purpose, household shape lamps
will no longer be available in
stores beginning January 2012.
Retailers will be able to sell-
through any existing inventory,
but the traditional 100-watt
incandescent bulbs will not be
replaced on the shelf.
Incandescent 75-watt light
bulbs will be unavailable in
2013.
Incandescent 40-watt and
60-watt light bulbs will be
phased out in 2014.
As these rules phase in gradu-
ally, its a great time to educate
yourself on the different types of
energy-efficient light bulbs
available.
This year marks the begin-
ning of new light bulb regu-
lations phasing out
incandescent bulbs.

Learning about lumens.
The lingo used to describe the
brightness of light bulbs is
changing. Were accustomed to
identifying the brightness of a
light bulb by the amount of
power watts that it uses.
However, more efficient light
bulbs emit the same amount of
light measured in lumens-
while using less electricity.
For example, the following
light bulbs all produce roughly
the same amount of light (450
lumens): 40-watt incandescent,
29-watt halogen, 11-watt com-
pact fluorescent (CFL) and 9-
watt LED. Its still important to
pay attention to wattage to make
sure you dont exceed the rec-
ommended level for your lamp.
Types of bulbs available. As
you move on from incandescent
bulbs, youll want to familiarize
yourself with the different types
of more energy-efficient bulbs
available.
Compact fluorescent: CFL
bulbs are more expensive than
incandescent bulbs, but use up
Light Bulb Guide
From Page 10
to 75 percent less energy and
last up to 10 times as long. You
can save up to $70 per year by
placing CFLs in your five most
commonly used lamps, accord-
ing to the Environmental
Protection Agency. Youve like-
ly seen them in spiral or tube-
like shapes, but CFLs also come
in the A-line form common in
most incandescent bulbs.
Halogen: These bulbs use the
same technology as incandes-
cent bulbs but last up to three
times longer and are about 50
percent more efficient.
Halogens are known for produc-
ing the highest quality light but
arent as efficient as CFLs.
When changing halogens, youll
want to make sure you use a rag
because oil from your skin can
reduce the bulbs longevity.
LED: Lowes began offering
the industrys first Energy Star-
qualified LED bulb this year
the GE Energy Smart 9-watt
LED. LED bulbs take the effi-
ciency and durability of CFLs
even further, as this bulb is rated
to last more than 22 years and
uses slightly less energy than a
CFL bulb.

Red bell peppers are simply
green bell peppers that have
been left on the vine to continue
to ripen. The long vine-ripening
time increases the amount of
vitamin C in the peppers.
Adding cannelloni beans to the
soup recipe below provides it
with a creamy texture and
boosts the vitamins, minerals,
antioxidants, fiber, protein and
iron in the dish.
Roasted Red Bell Pepper
Soup
Ingredients
1 (15 ounce) jar of water-
packed, roasted bell peppers,
or 3 fresh bell peppers, roast-
ed and peeled (see Tips
below)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black
pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 (15 ounce) cans cannelloni
beans, drained and rinsed
2 (14.5 ounce) cans low-sodium
chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
1. Drain the jar of bell pep-
pers. In a large pot, heat the oil
over medium heat. Saute the
onion and garlic in the oil for 5
minutes, or until the onion is
translucent. Add the roasted red
bell peppers, Italian seasoning,
salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and
sugar. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
2. Place vegetables and the
beans in a blender or food
processor and puree. Add one
can chicken broth. Puree the
soup until smooth and return it
to the pot. Stir in remaining can
of chicken broth until mixture is
smooth. Heat 5 to 7 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice. Soup can be
eaten hot or cold or used as a
sauce for meats or vegetables.
Tips for roasting fresh bell
peppers: Preheat oven to broil.
Place bell peppers on a baking
sheet and broil on ovens top
rack, using tongs to turn them as
each side blackens. Place black-
ened peppers in a paper bag,
close tightly and allow to cool
for 20 to 30 minutes. Peel off
skin by rubbing peppers with
paper towels. Do not rinse pep-
pers. Discard stems and all
seeds, and slice the peppers.

Ideally, you should have a
professional check your gas
heating system once a year to
make sure everything is work-
ing properly. Like any machin-
ery, gas furnaces have moving
parts, inlet valves and other
things that can and will break
down eventually. Dirt can
build up in the furnace system,
and moisture from various
sources also can cause prob-
lems. A heating professional
will be able to check systems
like the blower motor and
exhaust stack, electrical con-
nections and other areas that
are not safe or practical for
many homeowners to tackle.
There are some mainte-
nance tasks you can do your-
self that will help keep the pro-
fessionals visit cost-effective.
The single most important
thing you can do is change the
filter every month that the fur-
nace is in operation. This min-
imizes the amount of dust that
enters the furnace itself and
keeps it from clogging up the
works and reducing heating
efficiency. Keeping the room
that the furnace is in free of
clutter and dust is another way
to maintain the unit.
Check to make sure the
pilot light is burning properly
and at the right height. (Your
manufacturers manual should
specify this, but if it doesnt,
most pilot lights burn at about
an inch in height, with a
bright-blue hue at the top of
the flame.) You also might be
able to inspect the burners,
which when operating also
should have clear flames with
a bright blue hue.
Inspect the furnace and all
visible ductwork for signs of
damage or corrosion twice a
year. If you see any issues with
the furnace, the burners or the
pilot light, or if other problems
occur, such as the furnace trip-
ping the circuit breaker, con-
tact a professional right away.

WORKMANSHIP
For many professionals,
life in a cubicle is a thing of the
past. Going in to work could
very well mean taking a stroll
down the hall to your home
office or heading to the coffee
shop down the street.
Employers are even moving
past the cube-and-office
model, and instead incorporat-
ing more common areas and
ad-hoc spaces that promote
collaboration and flexibility.
Todays technology allows
employees to jump into a tele-
conference from anywhere at a
moments notice from wherev-

ble to work from anywhere.
in traffic.
For those who are used to
working in a traditional office
environment, there are a few
things you can do to make sure
you are working at peak effi-
ciency in your flexible work
environment.
Integrate your communi-
cations system. While every
cubicle is usually outfitted
with an office phone, it isnt
necessarily needed in your
home office anymore. With
Skype, Microsoft Lync and
other tools that allow you to
use your computer as a phone,
you can operate everything
you need from one device.
Establish a work space.
While working from home
might allow you the flexibility
to pick your children up from
school, you may also have to
find ways to deal with distrac-
tions from home. Finding a
place in your house where you
can work without being dis-
tracted during the hours
youve set for yourself can
help ensure that youre as pro-
ductive as ever.
Embrace mobile capabili-
ties. If you have a day full of
visits with clients, you dont
have to give up on accom-
plishing other tasks. Working
with your employer to set up
the ability to access your files
through your mobile device or
computer will allow you to
work from anywhere, so you
dont need to head back to the
office between appointments.

Almost President: The Men
Who Lost the Race But
Changed the Nation
By Scott Farris
(Lyons Press, $24.95)
How different would our
country be today if Adlai
Stevenson had beaten Dwight
Eisenhower in 1952, Barry
Goldwater had won in 1964 or
Al Gore had been inaugurated
president after the election of
2000? Although these men did-
nt get to move into the White
House, they nevertheless helped
transform our nation.
Scott Farris, a former bureau
chief for United Press
International and a political
columnist, has covered several
national campaigns and even
tried to win a congressional race
in Wyoming in 1998, a seat
vacated by Dick Cheney. After
being defeated, he began think-
ing about the role played by los-
ing candidates in a democracy.
The result is this fascinating
book.
F a r r i s
p r o f i l e s
nine presi-
d e n t i a l
also-rans:
including
three-time
l o s e r s
H e n r y
Clay and
Wi l l i a m
Jennings Bryan, Stephen
Douglas, Al Smith, Thomas E.
Dewey, George McGovern and
Ross Perot.
One of the more interesting
men profiled is Henry Clay, who
once stated that he would rather
be right than president. Clays
real genius was a political strat-
egy designed to bind the nation
together and reduce the concept
of sectionalism. Could the Civil
War have been avoided if he had
been elected president in 1844?
Just one of many what-ifs
youll encounter in this intrigu-
ing book.

Granite Art
With Heart!
By Melissa W. Sais
Sharon Dunkin loves rocks,
and she brings that love of natu-
ral stone to New Mexico home-
owners through Granite
Passion. Sharon and her daugh-
ter, Nicole Dunkin, own and
operate the Albuquerque com-
pany, specializing in the import,
fabrication and installation of
natural granite.
Sharon and Nicole recently
spoke with us about granite and
its place in New Mexico.
New Mexico MarketPlace
(NMMP): What makes Granite
Passion an important stop for
homeowners looking to
improve their homes?
Sharon: We are the only
company in New Mexico
directly importing our own pre-
cut 3-cm thick natural granite.
We go overseas ourselves to
choose the stone, which allows
us to provide a selection that is
quite unique and that we can
offer at a lower price to our cus-
tomers. We carry some stones
that you wont see anywhere
else in New Mexico. While
Theres nothing like granite for your homes kitchen and
baths. Choose from a large selection at Granite Passion.
Pictured are owners Sharon and Nicole Dunkin.
some companies offer a 2-cm
product, the 3-cm material we
offer is superior. And because it
is pre-cut, the customer avoids
paying for an over-sized slab of
granite, some of which will be
wasted in the cutting process.
NMMP: Many homeowners
are choosing to remodel their
homes rather than sell because
of economic conditions. How
does granite fit in to that trend?
Sharon: Many people are
staying put and installing gran-
ite. They are making the deci-
sion to upgrade their living
environment on the room they
spend the most time in the
kitchen. That creates a double-
edged value as youre putting in
a beautiful environment to
enjoy yourself, and youre
adding value to the property that
will benefit you when youre
ready to sell.
Nicole: Realtors tell us that
granite in the kitchen will sell a
home, and theyre even sending
people to us to install granite to
get sales moving. It is attractive
to home buyers and truly adds
value.
NMMP: Why is
granite a superior
choice over other
materials to update
and improve homes?
Sharon: While nat-
ural granite used to be
a luxury item at a lux-
ury price, the market has
changed over the last 10 years.
Today prices of oil-based syn-
thetic materials created to mimic
granite have risen, while the
price of natural granite has
dropped due to increased pro-
duction overseas. Granite now is
actually less expensive than syn-
thetic counter top materials.
Nicole: Only natural granite
has the beauty and durability
that people really desire for their
homes. A synthetic product will
never look as good as the real
thing and it doesnt have the
durability of natural granite.
Granite can handle knives with-
out scratching and a hot pan
from the stove without damage.
Under normal kitchen condi-
tions it is stain-, scratch-, chip-
and burn-resistant.
NMMP: What does the typi-
cal customer experience at
Granite Passion?
Sharon: We show them our
vast selection of stone in our
showroom and get a rough idea
of what they want. Then we
offer a free in-home estimate,
assess their requirements and
give them a quote down to the
penny. We can typically be in
their kitchen installing their

this makes for a fascinating
afternoon of exploring. I
would suggest visiting the
canyon before the weather
gets too hot. If hiking, wear
good shoes for the terrain is
uneven and sometimes sandy.
Bring water. My own recom-
mendation is a daypack with
a two- or three-liter water
bladder. Horseback riding
is another possibility. See
AcaciaRidingAdventures.com
for information. And dont for-
get, Socorro is 20 miles south
of the canyon, with all its
restaurants, motels, and plenty
of attractions of its own.
Getting There. From the
north take Exit 163 (San
Acacia) and follow the
frontage road south for 2.3
miles. Turn right and go
through the tunnel under the
freeway. The canyon is anoth-
er 4 miles. From the south,
take Exit 158 (Lemitar) and
travel the frontage road north
for 4.6 miles. Then turn left
through the tunnel. The road is
gravel but well maintained.
Eventually youll find yourself
driving up a dry braided
stream bed. The BLM recom-
mends a 4WD vehicle for the
last two miles.

The geology here is as com-

movement, erosion and vol-

the canyon is guarded by a

Be sure you use bathroom
fans correctly, turning on to
remove steam but turning off
to keep from pumping out
heat. This is equally important
in the summer, when you
pump out valuable cooled air.
Many people dont think of
fans this way, and they end up
running for hours.
Keep plastic wrap in the
freezer. It unrolls evenly, not
one side or the other.

Store an apple or two with


your potatoes to keep them
from sprouting. Be sure to
check them often.

Keep salt or baking soda by


the stove for small, quick
cleanups. A good dose of salt
will stop an egg from running
all over the place. Dip a damp
cloth in baking soda for a
handy scrub. Although a hand-
ful of either might work in a
pinch on a small flare-up on
the stove, you should have a
fire extinguisher close by for
fires.

Make a creme lipstick last


longer and stay cleaner by
using a makeup brush to apply
it. Your skin picks up more of
Heres A Tip

the lipstick than necessary, one
reason why we blot our lips
afterward. But the brush uses
only what you need. And
there's less bacteria transfer.

To make onion rings easier


to cut (less stinging to the
eyes) and have the layers sepa-
rate better, put the onions in
the freezer for about 10 min-
utes before peeling.

For nice, evenly sliced


mushrooms, use an egg slicer
for cutting.

What is LAser Lipo?
Quick FAQs
Laser lipo is new technology using the power of FDA-approved lasers
to shrink unwanted fat.
Who Is It Appropriate For?
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 It Expensive?
Laser lipo treatments are significantly lower in cost than traditional
liposuction. At Albuquerque Laser Lipo, we also offer multiple
financing options so that cost is not a barrier to getting treatment.
Is The Loss Permanent?
As long as your caloric intake continues to be in balance with your
lifestyle, you can maintain results long term.
How is Albuquerque Laser Lipo different from other
clinics that offer some form of noninvasive treatment?
We specialize in noninvasive laser lipo. Our four-paddle multi-laser
technology is the fastest and best noninvasive laser lipo equipment
offered in the world today, producing consistently great results.
Visit our website at www.abqlaserlipo.com, call our office at
505-435-LIPO, and/or schedule a FREE, no obligation consultation.
How Do I Get More Information About Laser Lipo?
1820 Juan Tabo NE
Im not one to endorse just anything, and never do so without KNOWING
the product is the real deal. If youre ready to lose inches of fat, then Albu-
querque Laser Lipo is for YOU! It works and Im proof! I wasnt a big person,
but I had a few places of stubborn fat that, despite working out, wouldnt
budge. Theyre not only gone, but my body is also much more contoured!

Hop, skip and jump onto
your own hopscotch game
everyone can play indoors using
sample carpet squares. If you
live near a carpet store, ask for
discarded sample squares,
which are usually free of charge.
Choose samples that are approx-
imately 10 inches by 12 inches
in a variety of fun, playful col-
ors. Youll need at least 10 for a
standard game of hopscotch.
When you get home, cut rub-
ber shelf liner the size of the car-
pet squares. Glue the shelf-liner
pieces onto the backsides of the
carpet squares to help keep the
squares from slipping.
Paint the numbers 1 through
10 on the tops of the squares
using acrylic or latex paints.
When dry, grab some flat stones
for markers, and the kids will be
ready and eager to play. Or,
while the kids are waiting for the
paint to dry, they can make their
own personalized game mark-
ers. Cut out school pictures of
each child who is going to play
hopscotch, and glue the photos
onto one side of a flat frozen-
orange-juice lid with smooth
sides. When its time to play,
toss it face up onto a square.
To play, set the squares on
the floor in a hopscotch pattern,
and hop away! Or invent your
own games and encourage your
kids to practice their numbers
while they play. Join in with the
kids and enjoy one of the oldest
and simplest childrens games
around. When the game is over,
clean up is a snap.
Carpet samples can be
used to make a fun hop-
scotch game for the kids.

Q: I have a
cast-iron doorstop
that has been in
my family for at
least three genera-
tions. It is a rabbit
dressed in top hat
and tails. What
can you tell me
about it?
Beth, Tijeras,
N.M.
A: Your
doorstop was
probably man-
ufactured by
N a t i o n a l
Foundry and is
valued in the $75 to $150
range, according to Kovels
Antiques and Collectibles
Price Guide by Ralph and
Terry Kovel (Black Dog &
Leventhal books). Doorstops
were especially popular during
the late Victorian era.
Q: We have an 1880 game
table that has been restored by
a professional restorer from
the Smithsonian Institution. It
is pure walnut and has its orig-
inal casters and hinges. A table
like mine recently sold in
Vermont for $3,500, and our
Smithsonian friend says ours
is in much better shape.
Whats its value? Barb,
Albuquerque, N.M.
A: I am curious why you
didnt ask the restorer for his
or her opinion about the value
of your table. There are two
appraisers in your area who
can help you: Suzanne Staley,
www.suzannestaley.com, 888-

On March 5, 1963, the
Hula-Hoop, a hip-swiveling toy
that became a huge fad across
America when it was first mar-
keted by Wham-O in 1958, is
patented by the companys co-
founder, Arthur Spud Melin.
An estimated 25 million Hula-
Hoops were sold in its first four
months of production alone.
On March 6, 1899, the
Imperial Patent Office in Berlin
registers Aspirin, the brand
name for acetylsalicylic acid, on
behalf of the German pharma-
ceutical company Friedrich
Bayer & Co. In its primitive
form, the active ingredient,
salicin, was used for centuries in
folk medicine.
On March 7, 1923, the New

On March 9, 1913, English
author Virginia Woolf delivers
the manuscript of her first novel,
The Voyage Out, to her pub-
lisher. In 1941, fearful for her
own mental state and afraid of
the coming world war, she filled
her pockets with rocks and
drowned herself.
On March 10, 1902, in the
case of Edison v. American
Mutoscope Company, the U.S.
Court of Appeals rules that
Thomas Edison did not invent
the movie camera. The court
did, however, admit that Edison
invented the sprocket system
that moved perforated film
through the movie camera.
On March 11, 1970, author

Have you seen the public serv-
ice announcements with Patty
Duke promoting Social Security
and Medicare? Now theres a
new one: Shes signing up for
Social Security ... from home ...
in her pajamas!
I thought the plaid PJs were a
bit much, but the message is a
good one. We can sign up for
Social Security and Medicare
from the comfort of our home,
assuming we have a computer.
Here is a partial list of things
you can do online at the Social
Security site:
Apply for Social Security
benefits.
Apply for Supplemental
Security Income (SSI).
Apply for Medicare.
Apply for disability benefits.
Estimate the amount of
retirement benefits youll get.
Theres a limit of 30 minutes to
this feature, so make sure you
have all your information ready.
Youll need your name, Social
Security number, date and place
of birth, and your mothers maid-
en name. Youll be able to calcu-
late the best age to start collecting
benefits.
Get extra help with Medicare
drug plan costs. This could add
up to $4,000 in assistance if
youre already on Medicare and
have low income.
Once you apply online, youll
be given a confirmation number.
At the same site, you can then go
in and check the status. If youre
certain youll never want to use
the online features at Social
Security, your best bet is to block
access. You might want to do this
if youve been the victim of iden-
tity theft or domestic violence.
Suggestion: If its more con-
venient to apply online, once
youre all set up, then go in and
block your information com-
pletely. Then no one, not even
you, can access it without a
phone call to Social Security.
To get started, go online to
www.socialsecurity.gov.

Landscaping
Made Easy
By Mike Dooley
Most designers will tell you
that too much shade is a prob-
lem when designing a land-
scape. Although many plants
grow well in very light shade,
most plants cant take heavy
shade. To make the problem
worse is the fact that most
shade plants dont produce as
much color as most gardeners
want. The following is a list of
plants that can do well in this
challenging situation, and sev-
eral will give you color, too.
Shrubs
Acuba. Tropical-looking
evergreen that can take dense
shade.
Boxwood. Formal ever-
green if trimmed, but makes a
great plant if left untrimmed.
Hollies. Formal evergreen
if trimmed, but makes a great
plant if left untrimmed.
Nandina. A hardy ever-
green that takes sun or shade.
Choose modern cultivars to
avoid legginess.
Vines
English Ivy. Evergreen for
dense shade or full sun.
Carolina Jessamine. Can
take moderate shade or full
sun for part of the day.
Vinca Minor. Can take
moderate shade or full sun for
part of the day.
Perennials
Columbine. Full shade to
part sun with large exotic
blooms in many colors.
Many shade-loving plants,
including daylilies, can add
color to your landscape.

By Laurie B. Falconer
With public attention turn-
ing more and more to the
problem of obesity in
America, the pressure is on
for people to find ways to
successfully lose weight.
Even television shows are
dedicated to the subject
(NBCs The Biggest Loser
comes to mind), indicating
that, for many people, the
desire to change is there. Yet
in order to make the transi-
tion, people must go through
difficult lifestyle changes,
such as exercise, and often
costly challenging eating
plans. The lingering question
is, how does one lose and
keep off weight without feel-
ing incredibly overwhelmed?
According to Dr. Marji
Prefontaine, who has a doc-
torate in marriage and family
counseling, in order to suc-
cessfully lose weight and
keep it off, there must be a
change of mind. Through
hypnosis, Im able to help my
patients shift their focus to
becoming thin.
Beyond shifting a persons
focus, Dr. Prefontaine is able
to help people deal with the
reasons why they eat. She
says people often eat not
because they are hungry, but
because of emotional issues
such as anxiety, stress,
boredom and fear. She helps
her patients look into the
core of why they are abusing
food. Its not what youre
eating, its whats eating
you, says Prefontaine.
The TV show 20/20 pro-
duced a special several
years ago comparing weight
loss using hypnosis, the
Atkins diet, a nutritionists
plan and gym workouts, she
notes. Hypnosis won, with
participants losing more
weight more easily.
The results people achieve
through hypnosis are evident
in the amazing changes
described by Dr. Prefontaines
patients. Through a series of
visits to her office (and the
number of visits required is
dependent on the severity of
the problem), patients are
able to make life-changing
transformations. Patients de-
scribe their experiences on
Dr. Prefontaines website,
www.wei ghtl ossal buquer-
que.org. Here are some
examples:
I was living to eat before
I met Dr. Marji. Now I
only want to eat to live. I
have lost a pound a day in
the last week and am
looking forward to losing
more, states Melinda S.
from Albuquerque.
And from Cheryl S. of Rio
Rancho, This is the first
experience with weight loss
that I dont feel deprived and
anxious for it to end so I can
go back to bad eating behav-
ior.
Dr. Prefontaine is also
focusing on another serious
issue in New Mexico: rela-
tionship abuse and commu-
nication difficulties. Through
her experiences with mar-
riage and family therapy,
shes seen a significant
increase in problems. I esti-
mate more than half of all
relationships are abusive on
some level, she says.
Relationships create an
environment that demands
personal growth and change.
Relationships are all about
change, Dr. Prefontaine
notes. Theyre all about pol-
ishing the rough edges of the
personality, just as stones
are polished as they are tum-
bled together to create beau-
tiful, shining pieces of art. An
attitude of willingness to
change is at the heart of a
relationship that works to
grow the hearts of two
human beings.
Regardless of the issues
facing her patients, Dr.
Prefontaine is committed to
helping them get back in con-
trol and back to their real
selves. If you or someone
you know needs help with
weight loss, abuse, or a myr-
iad of other issues facing
couples, singles or families,
contact Dr. Prefontaine at
821-1948. Or visit her
website at www.weightloss-
albuquerque.org.
Then lose weight in a new
state of mind.

Dr. Marji Prefontaine, PhD., shown here with her dog Yogi,
treats food addiction through hypnosis. Food addiction is no
different from any other type of addiction, she says.
Change Your Mind, Change Your Body!
I lost 40 pounds. I had tried everything.
Nothing worked. Used diet pills, diet drinks,
diet plans, even the one-night hotel hypnosis.
It was all a waste of time and money.
I saw Dr. Prefontaines ad in the paper
LOSE WEIGHT WITH HYPNOSIS.
A free consultation. I decided to check it out.
There was no high pressure. Dr. Prefontaine
explained hypnosis. How the program
worked. What kind of results I could expect.
I signed up. Started. Lost 40 pounds.
It was easy. 40 pounds in 12 weeks. No
stress, no cravings and NO DIETS. I ate
when I was hungry. I stopped when I was
satisfied. My outlook on life is great. I enjoy
total control over my eating behavior. Dr.
Prefontaines program was everything I had
hoped for. She delivered on her promises.
Dont waste any more of your time, effort and
hard earned money on weight loss methods
that dont work. Try hypnosis. Call Dr. Marji
now. ~ Mary Rivera of Corrales

By George Bourne of
HearMart
Every Friday, I visit
homes, hospitals, assisted
living facilities and
Alzheimers wards. It is not
uncommon to meet a
patient who seems to just
not be there. Sometimes
when I help restore their
hearing, totally or partially,
the patient lights up.
I do not believe that
hearing loss is the cause
of dementia. But as your
hearing level goes down,
you quit paying attention
and quit being a part of
life. The easiest thing to
say is, Its dementia.
Instead, I feel its actually
a lack of sensory stimula-
tion. Hearing aids do a lot
to help with that.
At our age, we are
interested in anything that
might excuse our memory
difficulties. We make a list,
but leave the list at home.
Where did I put that ham-
mer? Why did I come in
here? What did she tell me
to buy? These alone arent
reasons to purchase hear-
ings aids even though
some hearing aid sales-
men disagree. Instead,
these are reasons to pay
better attention and try to
listen. You can usually
hear better than you think
you can.
First, get a good hear-
ing evaluation. They are
free at most places, includ-
ing HearMart Hearing
Aids. If you have a legiti-
mate problem, a hearing
evaluation can help.
Hearing aids are
almost invisible, and they
dont cost near as much as
youve been told. Why
should a hearing aid cost
more than a computer?
A recent newspaper
advertisement listed a par-
ticular device for $3,000
per hearing aid, or $6,000
for a pair. HearMart car-
ries the exact same brand
at half the price. While
many sellers of hearing
aids will try to convince
you to purchase the latest
bells and whistles, no
hearing aid is worth
$5,000, $6,000 or even
more. And a perfectly good
set of hearing aids is usu-
ally available for $1,100 to
$1,300.
A hearing loss special-
ist should be able to thor-
oughly explain your hear-
ing loss and needs. If he
cant or tries to pressure
into buying a hearing aid
before you are ready, walk
out.
Fortunately, HearMart
offers makes and models
to offset each area of con-
cern. We dont push
expensive hearing aids, or
even the smallest or
the most complicated.
Spending more money on
a hearing aid doesnt make
your hearing better, and a
smaller device isnt neces-
sarily the best for an indi-
vidual patients situation.
After our free hearing eval-
uation, the most appropri-
ate device be determined,
whether thats an analog
device that simply ampli-
fies sound, or a digital one
that makes sounds clearer.
If youve abandoned
previous hearing aids
because they dont seem
to be working properly or
arent performing to your
expectations, bring them
to us. Get those hearing
aids out of the bureau
drawer. At HearMart, we
service, clean and pro-
gram most models of
hearing aids no matter
where you bought them.
We even provide a
money-back guarantee
and a one-year warranty
for the mechanical compo-
nent on our hearing
devices, along with a life-
time warranty for cleaning
and adjustments.
When youre purchas-
ing a hearing aid, I encour-
age you to shop around.
Its more important to find a
person you are comfort-
able with than to find a
specific hearing aid. Were
like pharmacies, everyone
selling the same product
but at different prices.
At HearMart, were
confident we have the low-
est prices in the state, and
we offer discounts to veter-
ans and senior citizens.
Were open from 8 a.m. to
4 p.m. Monday through
Thursday, and from 8 a.m.

can tell when Im NOT
wearing them!

Q: Is it reasonable to plant
lawn grass seeds now?
A: In our area, it is still a bit
early to plant lawn grasses.
You can plant cool-season
grasses such as Kentucky
bluegrass, tall fescue and
Texas bluegrass later in
March. The cool-season grass-
es will germinate as the tem-
peratures warm, but that is also
when our winds begin. So, for
a more successful early start,
you should consider sod
instead of seeds. Sod is more
expensive, but may be easier
to establish under dry, windy
conditions.
If you prefer a warm-season
grass such as buffalograss,
blue grama, Bermudagrass or
zoysia grass you need to
wait until May to plant. These
grasses need considerably
warmer conditions to germi-
nate. In some years, the winds
may subside somewhat by
May, making establishment of
the lawn easier.
In addition to temperature,
moisture is also important dur-
ing seed germination. In the
early stages of seed germina-
tion and seedling develop-
ment, any drying will kill the
young plant. That is the reason
our spring winds cause such
problems.
Southwest Gardener
By Curtis Smith
Early March is still too early
to plant grass seed in our
area.
Some gardeners use a layer
of straw mulch over the newly
planted grass seeds to reduce
drying. But the winds often
blow the straw from the site,
exposing the soil, seeds and
seedlings. If the straw is
pressed into moist soil with a
roller or by placing sheets of
plywood on the straw, and
walking on then removing the
plywood, the straw may stay
in place more readily.
Gardeners also may plant a
nurse crop of a more quick-
ly germinating type grass to
provide living mulch and wind
protection for more slowly
germinating grass seeds.

By Robin Martinez
New Mexico water is too
hard to remain untreated.
Although you may leave your
water untreated and get by, it
will cost you far more to live
with the damage and inefficien-
cies than to treat it with GMX
and prevent costly losses. Just
like planting a tree, the best time
to install hard water treatment
was when your home was new
the second best time is
today!
It takes a lot to come up with
$1,000 to $1,200 for home
improvements today. I would-
nt ask anyone to make this
investment if I didnt know with
certainty that it would return the
investment several times over.
says Larry Brown, owner-oper-
ator of R&L Enterprises, Inc.,
one of the most experienced
individuals in the country for
treating hard water with mag-
netic technology.
I have the benefit of hind-
sight in my own home, says
Larry. I spent about $1,000 on
a GMX system 18 years ago. It
hasnt cost a dime in operating
expenses or repair since, and it
has saved me at least $4,000.
The de-scaling of the water
heater resulted in immediate
savings in electricity, approxi-
mately $10 per month or $2,160
over the years. Larry still has the
same water heater! Laundry and
dish detergent expenditures
were cut in half. And as the
father of two daughters, at only
$5 savings per month each,
Larry estimates that the
increased efficiency of shampoo
alone saved him $1,500!
And GMX is the least expen-
sive technology to own and
operate, Larry says. If he had
spent $1,000 on a water soften-
er instead of GMX in 1993,
Larry would have purchased
salt bags for 18 years, would
have had to replace either the
resin bed or the softener once,
Hard water sediment builds up inside your hot water heater
making it operate less efficiently. GMX magnetic technology
treats hard water. Here, GMX distributor Larry Brown drains a
water heater, collecting the bluish sediment (foreground).
and it would soon be
due for replacement
again. Larry would
have spent approxi-
mately $4,500 by now.
And if he had rented a
softener at $40 per
month, he would have spent a
whopping $8,640.
Larry adds, There are other
physical water treatment devices
showing up on the market. They
are decent, but I believe they are
where we were 18 years ago in
learning how to control New
Mexicos hard water. We now
know, from thousands of instal-
lations, that effective treatment
requires booster treatment after
the water heater to maintain con-
sistent benefits. I dont see any
other company recommending
that yet.
Among Larrys 6,000 cus-
tomers are Boyd and Linda
Kleefisch who had GMX
installed after having used salt
softeners in the past. As a health-
care executive for more than 35
years, Boyd had heard claims of
using magnets for therapeutic
relief and didnt originally take
the GMX assertions seriously.
But after becoming fed up with
the calcium deposits on faucets
and fixtures, he and his wife
determined to try GMX. Were
using less shampoo yet getting
more lather, we have less stain-
ing in the sinks and toilets and
the dishwasher is operating more
efficiently, says Boyd. And the
Kleefisches are equally
impressed with the customer
service theyve received. Larry
does what he says, notes Boyd,
who has recommended Larry
and GMX to neighbors and co-
workers.
Greg Keney, a man with a
strong technical background,
was very thorough in research-
ing GMX before purchasing. He
wasnt interested in a traditional
softener, not wanting to add salt
or potassium to his water or to
his septic system. After chatting
with Larry, he decided that, with
the 90-day money-back guaran-
tee, he had nothing to lose.
Since installation, Greg has
noticed that his water heater
operates more quietly and the
sinks and toilets are easier to
clean. And the service couldnt
be better, remarks Greg, noting
that Larry has made several fol-
low-up visits to optimize the
efficiency of the GMX system.
Because GMX requires no
chemicals, sodium or potassi-
um, it is safe for plants, pets and
people with health issues such
as hypertension. Daniel and
Fleta Jones purchased a GMX
system, after prior disappointing
results with a salt-based soften-
er. With a house full of plants,
the Joneses were seeking a safe,
salt-free alternative.
Larry and his wife, Ruthie,
are business owners. Ruthie
runs their independent garden
center while Larry operates the
GMX business. Larry still does
all the installations himself.
Larrys dedication to his cus-
tomers includes post-installa-
tion reviews. Every customer
deals directly with Larry. He
puts his reputation on the line
with each installation, a com-
mitment he takes seriously.
Larry is also intent upon edu-
cating his clients on water
heater maintenance. As miner-
als build up in a heater, these
deposits act as an insulator, sig-
nificantly reducing efficiency,
he explains. Homeowners still
get hot water, but dont realize
their water heater is using 20 to
40 percent more energy than it
should to get the water hot
through the mineral layers. A
proper water heater flush
requires changing to a larger
capacity flushing valve to allow
the large sediments to exit. We
are the only company I know of
that provides this service, says
Larry.

Lets face it when it
comes to a dogs looks, people
often think that theirs is the
most gorgeous theyve ever
seen. But constant grooming
and doggie outfits can only go
so far real beauty lies in a
dogs overall health. After all,
inner health equates to real
outer beauty.
Following are a few tips to
help your dog look and feel his
best:
1. Stay active. When youre
on-the-go, its easy to neglect
your dogs exercise regimen.
On days when youre dashing
out to make it to the office in
time for a 9 a.m. meeting,
oftentimes your morning walk
leads you to the closest tree.
Its no surprise that when you
have guests over, they com-
ment about Fidos rounder
belly. Set your alarm a few
minutes early so your dog can
get the activity he needs to
keep the weight off.
2. Clean your canines
canines. Like you, your pooch
may not love getting his teeth
cleaned, but its certainly not a
step you want to overlook. Its
important to keep an eye on
your dogs teeth, as oral health
issues can be both a symptom
and cause for other health
problems, including heart dis-
ease. Not only do your dogs
pearly whites enhance his or
her smile, good oral care can
help prevent health issues too.
3. Give em some lovin.
Although you think your dog
may be the best, does he know
that? Giving your dog extra
cuddle time and pats on the
back can help enhance your
dogs mood. How you act
toward him will only help
boost his confidence, as well
as his connections with other
humans and dogs around him.
4. Eat right, look great. You
may realize that selecting
foods with natural, nutritious
ingredients can make all the
difference for your dogs
health. However, for a differ-
ence you can see, choose a dog
food with high-quality natural
ingredients, fortified with vita-
mins, minerals and trace nutri-
ents that target specific needs
of your pet. Benefits include a
healthier skin and coat, healthy
joints (especially important
when your dog shows off his
tricks at the park), great
digestibility (for easy clean-
up) and keeping your dog lean.
Although it may be fun to
keep up with the latest fash-
ions and looks for your pet,
dont forget to keep an eye on
his health.
Keeping your dog looking
his best starts with a healthy
diet and grooming habits.

20 year warranty Available
Surprisingly Affordable
By Elizabeth Hanes
In August, 2011 the hottest
August in Albuquerque history
Larry Buelow noticed some-
thing interesting about his elec-
tric bill: it went down. In fact, it
went down a lot. To be precise,
Buelow used 18 percent fewer
kilowatt hours (kWh) last
August than he had the August
before. He was stunned.
We had our New
Millennium spray foam roof
installed in March last year, and
I immediately started tracking
our energy usage, he says.
Compared to 2010, weve seen
lower usage every month
summer and winter some-
times using 30 percent less. I
almost couldnt believe it.
Buelow and his wife decided
to get a spray foam roof for a
variety of reasons. She was
more interested in the energy
savings, he says with a chuck-
le. I just wanted the leaks
fixed.
Constructed in 2000,
Spray foam roofing (top) from A New Millennium can save
you money on your energy costs and solve roof problems for
good. Customer Larry Buelow charted his energy consump-
tion after installing his new roof using 18 percent fewer kilo-
watt hours during the hottest August on record (bottom).
Buelows home had a tradition-
al tar-and-gravel flat roof. The
roof already had been replaced
once, in 2006, and by 2010 was
leaking again. The fact we
were having problems less than
five years after getting a new
roof made us think about doing
something different, says
Buelow, a retired Lockheed-
Martin engineer. We wanted a
roof that would last longer,
wouldnt leak, and would pro-
vide energy savings. Thats
when we called Rodney.
Rodney Rael, A New
Millenniums owner, wasnt
surprised. A lot of people
choose spray foam just to solve
the leaky roof problems of
many flat roof homes. What
they dont realize is how much
energy theyre going to save.
Spray foam roofs are a green,
energy-efficient product.
As soon as the spray foam
roof was installed, Buelow
began tracking his 2011 energy
usage against his 2010 usage.
Before the new roof
was installed, his ener-
gy consumption rose
each month. But after
the new roof went on,
in mid-March, he saw
an immediate 7 per-
cent drop in kWh
usage.
Each month, Buelow
watched his energy consump-
tion drop from the year prior.
(You can see the actual figures
in the above chart.) And then
came August.
When I saw the 18 percent
drop in energy usage, I won-
dered if it was because it hadnt
been a particularly hot August,
Buelow says. I mean, we have
refrigerated air, so August usual-
ly is a high-consumption month
for us. When I discovered
August 2011 was the hottest on
record, I knew the spray foam
roof had been a great invest-
ment.
A spray foam roof from A
New Millennium comes with a
standard 10-year warranty (20
years if you sign up for the inex-
pensive annual maintenance
plan). And it may last a lifetime
because foam doesnt deterio-

rate the way traditional roofing
materials do, Rael says.
Picture a plastic bottle in a
landfill, he continues. Its a
big problem because it doesnt
biodegrade. Similarly our foam
systems dont deteriorate.
Properly applied and main-
tained, a spray foam roof
should last 40 to 50 years.
A spray foam roof is so rigid
you can walk on it, which
makes it impervious to water or
air movement. That makes it a
near-perfect insulator, which is
why Buelow saw his utility
usage decline. Increased energy
efficiency makes spray foam
roofing a very green product
and its a great value, too.
A New Millennium is a rep-
utable and experienced compa-
ny. Consider: Theyve been a
Better Business Bureau accred-
ited company since 2002, they
have an A+ rating with zero
complaints, theyre certified by
three of the major foam manu-
facturers in the country, and
theyve installed over 1,000
spray foam roofs. Their four
spray foam technicians have a
combined experience of over
51 years. Now thats experi-
enced!
Its easy to get started with a
spray foam roof by A New
Millennium. Just give them a
call for a free estimate. Their
estimators arent typical sales
people; theyre the actual foam
technicians, says Rael. Youll
be in good hands with these
friendly, down-to-earth guys.
Once you decide to go green
and cash in on some energy
savings (not to mention solving
those pesky roof leaks!), the
process of installing the spray
foam roof takes about three to
five days. And its worth noting
these roofs arent only for
homes; A New Millennium is
considered one of the premier
commercial roofing companies,
as well, says Rael. They can
perform a high-quality com-
mercial installation in a fraction
of the time it takes other com-
panies to do it. Weve installed
50,000 square foot roofs in less
than two weeks because we
have the crews to handle com-
mercial roofs, and we arent
intimidated by any roof, Rael
says with a grin.
If youre looking for a green
alternative to a standard roof,
dont wait until you have a
problem. Call A New
Millennium today at 730-0663
to get all the facts about how
rigid spray foam roofing can
save you money and solve your
roof problems for good.
You can also visit their web-
site at www.millenniumspray-

customers like Buelow.
Im very happy with my
New Millennium roof, he

ments weve ever made.

Kids love video games
theyre exciting, fun and
engrossing. While games can
promote learning and growth,
too much video gaming or
playing inappropriate games
can lead to negative conse-
quences. What should parents
know to make good game
choices for their children?
Become familiar with the
Entertainment Software Ratings
Board. These ratings are
designed to help potential play-
ers understand the games con-
tent and offer guidance on
which games are appropriate for
different ages.
Explore www.familyfriend-

provides a report card on games,
with detailed descriptions of
game content, technical per-
formance and kid friendliness.

ing on teaching the player), role
playing games (that offer deep
story and character develop-
ment), action games (that train
and enhance hand-eye coordina-
tion), simulation games (build-
ing vehicles such as planes or
cars) and strategy games.
Use online reviews, ask
other parents, ask the staff at
your local store and play
games with your kids.
Whatever the game and what-
ever the platform, video games
for kids like those for any age
need to be engaging. The
interactivity of these games
seems to be the crucial factor
that engages kids of all ages.
Exciting visuals and action are
also key, says David March, a
Media Arts & Animation faculty
member at The Art Institute of
Virginia Beach.
And what childrens video
games do experts like best? The
Ratchet and Clank series, and
the Super Mario franchise.
Super Marios bright, bold col-
ors, simplistic playing mechan-
ics and iconic sound effects will
always draw attention. For
March, favorites include the
side-scrollers like Prince of
Persia things with lots of lush
graphics.
Bottom line? Video games
are here to stay. And when
appropriately used, they can
provide an opportunity for fam-
ilies to play together as well as
for kids to learn and grow.

Americans make more col-
lect phone calls on Fathers Day
than on any other day of the year.

Considering the fact that its
home to much of the American
film industry, its probably not
surprising that the sprawling city
of Los Angeles has the worlds
third-largest GMP, or gross met-
ropolitan product.
It was a German company,
Interstuhl Manufactur, that made
the worlds most expensive
office chair. With a price tag of
$65,500, you shouldnt be sur-
prised that the chair is plated in
gold and comes with a matching
ottoman.

You might be surprised that,
according to the National Sleep
Would You Believe
Foundation, 33 percent of all
preschoolers have a TV in their
room, and 20 percent of infants
and toddlers have one.

Have you ever wondered
where we got the phrase the dog
days of summer? According to
tradition, the dog days start in
July. At one time, that was when
Sirius, also known as the dog
star, rose at sunrise. The Romans
associated Sirius (called the dog
star because it is the brightest star
in the constellation Canis Major,
or large dog) with hot weather,
and at the beginning of the dog
days they would sacrifice a dog
in the hope of ameliorating the
sultry weather.

Rice paper is not made from
rice. Its made from the pith of
the rice paper plant.

the Good Witch, Billie Burke,
was 54 years old when the film
was shot.

Whether youre searching for the perfect Easter dress, or just need to re-awaken your wardrobe from its winter
hibernation with some fun spring fashions, shopping locally owned and operated womens clothing stores in the

with many local entrepreneurial women in their clothing stores, and offer up their specialties for you here.

Dear Oscar,
YES. I recommend EVERY buyer obtain a
home inspection BEFORE they close on a
home. The purpose of the home inspection is
to minimize the chance of being surprised by a
major problem. A home may look to be in great
shape, but problems may not be apparent to the
naked eye.
A home inspector will commonly find
minor cosmetic items that are easier to fix than
major plumbing, roofing or mechanical
repairs. The cost of an inspection can range from $200 to $800 or
more. Many times the seller will pay for the home inspections. The
cost of the home inspection may be much less expensive than
having to repair an unforeseen problem in the new home you
purchased.
Buyers should think of a home inspection as an insurance plan.
Its not easy to pay for home inspection when you think the house
looks good on the surface, but if a problem comes up, you will be
glad you did.
Have a Real Estate Question?
Call or email Brian at 363-8358 or
brian@bsquarerealestate.com for answers.

Home Inspection When
We Buy Our Home?
