I began Laser Lipo quite skeptically; I mean how could it possibly be that Dana Cortez y Radio Personality during my LUNCH hour, with NO pain, NO side effects and NO down time I could lose inches of fat? Well, it works and Im proof! I wasnt a big person, KISS 97.3 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!
Quick FAQs
What is LAser Lipo? 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 and can generally treat a broader area. At Albuquerque Laser Lipo, we also offer multiple financing options so that cost is not a barrier to getting treatment. How is Albuquerque Laser Lipo different from other clinics that offer some form of noninvasive treatment? At Albuquerque Laser Lipo 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.

night with sacred soil. Bring a little baggie to take a pinch of the healing dirt if you wish. Just south of Taos, the church at Ranchos de Taos, San Francisco de Asis, is one of the most recognizable churches in America, having been painted and photographed thousands of times by such as Georgia OKeeffe and Ansel Adams. If possible, spend a night or two in downtown Taos. I love walking through all that history: the storied homes, the museums, the plaza, the organic shapes of adobe buildings. Dont forget Taos Pueblo either. There is another magical thing about Taos: how it has inspired artists. Their breathtaking work can be viewed with a pass to five museums for $25. If you are there for more than one day, consider doing it. And then there is the Enchanted Circle. This scenic byway begins and ends in Taos, encircling 13,161-foot Wheeler Peak the highest mountain in the state. All in all, this is one of the most beautiful drives in New Mexico... especially in the fall. On the way home, take the low road, NM 58 along the Rio Grande. Its absolutely beautiful with yellow cottonwood leaves against the deep blue sky. Jon Knudsen is a regular contributor to dukecityfix.com and occasional guest on Channel 5s New Mexico In Focus.

Moments In Time
The History Channel On Sept. 4, 1886, Geronimo, the wiliest and most dangerous Apache warrior of his time, finally surrenders in Skeleton Canyon, Ariz. Geronimo never learned to use a gun, yet he armed his men with the best modern rifles he could obtain and even used field glasses to aid reconnaissance during his campaigns. On Sept. 5, 1958, Boris Pasternaks romantic novel Dr. Zhivago is published in the United States. The book infuriated Soviet officials, but admirers of Pasternaks work began to smuggle the manuscript out of Russia piece by piece. On Sept. 6, 1847, writer Henry David Thoreau moves in with Ralph Waldo Emerson in Concord, Mass., after living for two years in a shack he built himself on Walden Pond. In 1854, his collection of essays, Walden, or Life in the Woods, is published. On Sept. 7, 1813, the United States gets its nickname when a New York newspaper refers to Uncle Sam. The name is linked to meat packer Samuel Wilson, who supplied barrels of beef to the United States Army during the War of 1812. Wilson stamped the barrels with U.S. for United States, but soldiers began referring to the grub as Uncle Sams. On Sept. 8, 1974, President Gerald Ford pardons his disgraced predecessor Richard Nixon for any crimes he may have committed or participated in while in office. The Watergate scandal erupted after it was revealed that Nixon and his aides had engaged in illegal activities. With impeachment proceedings under way, Nixon became the first American president to resign. On Sept. 10, 1919, almost a year after the end of World War I, New York City holds a parade to welcome home Gen. John J. Pershing, commander in chief of the American Expeditionary Force, and some 25,000 soldiers who had served on the Western Front.

The really amazing part is that the nurseries accept this Spring is the time to plant thinking and try to get rid of as much of their inventory as they can in the fall with big sales.
BINGO! Now I have your attention. Yes, my fellow gardeners, fall is a better time to plant in the high desert and you get a great price, too. Fall is for planting with its moderate temperatures, lack of wind and good pricing. Spring is for crowded nurseries, strong winds and wild temperature swings. Happy Gardening!

south of the planets geographical North Pole. Need another reason to buy food thats grown locally? Studies show that 60 percent of what we spend on food is eaten up by transportation costs. If youre an avid hiker, you might want to keep in mind that the most dangerous trail in America, according to Backpacker magazine, is located in Canyonlands National Park in Utah. The trail known as The
Maze earned this distinction thanks to numerous dead-end canyons, few sources of water and temperatures that soar to over 100 degrees F. in summer. When Andrew Jackson was running for president in 1828, his opponents called him a stubborn jackass. Jackson was proud that he was known for obstinately sticking to his guns, so he started using the image of a donkey on his campaign materials. The Democrats have been using that symbol ever since.

Focus on Seniors
By Matilda Charles Did you know its possible to suffer from malnutrition even if youre eating three times a day? That can happen easily to seniors who find it hard to be motivated to cook and end up just snacking throughout the day. But with a little ingenuity, its easy to fix fast, easy meals youll actually eat! Here are some ideas: Use your slow cooker. All the ingredients are assembled in the pot in the morning, and are ready by dinnertime. The variety of cookbooks on the market is amazing. Investigate ones that offer recipes with only five ingredients, diabetic recipes and meals that take less than 20 minutes to prepare. Double the amounts you prepare, and freeze the rest for days when you really dont want to cook at all. Label the container and use it within a few weeks. Ask your doctor for a referral to a nutritionist if you need help with creating a menu, portion sizes and nutritional values. If youre truly stuck in a notcooking rut, remember canned fruit and vegetables are better than none. Peanut butter on crackers with a banana offers nutrition. It takes only a few minutes to scramble eggs, add cheese and make toast.

By Tony Rizzo Jerry Lewis, who created the Muscular Dystrophy Telethon 60 years ago and has raised $2.5 billion for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, announced hed retire as goodwill ambassador for MDA next year. MDA, however, made a Jerry Lewis point to cut him loose BEFORE this years fundraiser. While Lewis can be difficult and was being paid a bundle to represent MDA, theres no denying he got the job done. Who can forget when Frank Sinatra got Lewis and Dean Martin back together on the telethon after they hadnt spoken for decades, or Liza Minnelli doing New York, New York with Sinatra, a song they both made a solo hit. MDA is gambling on a new demographic with hosts Nancy ODell, Jann Carl, Alison Sweeney and American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe. Now called the MDA Labor Day Telethon, the six-hour fundraiser (cut down from 21 hours) airs Sunday, Sept. 4, starting at 6 p.m. Ted Danson will replace Laurence Fishburne as the new boss of CSI, which has had its share of problems since William Petersen left the show. Now with Marg Helgenberger in only a handful of episodes this season, CBS needed a big gun to fill the void. Ironically, Danson, who won two Emmy Awards during his 11year run with Cheers, comes to CSI as it starts its 12th season. His contract at CSI will allow him to continue his role in the HBO comedy Bored To Death. When he starred in the CBS series Becker he put a rinse in his hair to darken its natural white color. When he appeared in public with his white hair, people where confused. The big question now is, will we see a dark-haired Becker or a real-life whitehaired Ted Danson on CSI?

Family Fun
By Donna Erickson Kaleidoscopes provide children with an adventure in seeing. Heres an up-to-date version of that tube of sparkling light you can make together. 1. Save a paper towel or mailing tube. Cut a sheet of aluminum foil one inch longer than the length of the tube and one inch wider than the circumference. Roll loosely, shiny side in.
Insert it into the tube, letting it extend on both ends. Carefully unfurl, pressing ends against the outside edges of tube. 2. Cover the outside of the tube by cutting a sheet of colored adhesive-backed paper or wallpaper the exact length of the tube and 1/2 inch wider than the circumference. Adhere or glue the paper over the outside of the
tube, covering the extra foil. Decorate the paper with markers and stickers. 3. Design a colorful disk by cutting clear Con-Tact paper into two 5-inch-wide circles. Arrange assorted tiny shapes and shades of tissue paper on the sticky side of one circle. (Or, cut a sheet of tissue paper with colorful, small patterns to size, and set on the sticky side.) Top with sticky side of other matching circle. Punch a hole through the center. 4. Cut a 2-inch piece from a
flexible plastic straw with the bendable portion in the center. Tape an end portion of the straw to the outside edge of one end of the tube. Poke the other end of the straw through the hole in the disk and bend the straw piece downward. The disk will cover the tube opening and pivot around the flex straw. 5. Look through the kaleidoscope and give the disk a spin for a merry-go-round of color. NOTE: Avoid looking directly into the sun when playing with this toy.

My phone was ringing off the hook, which never happens before 11 a.m. I finally lifted the phone and said, What?! My friend said, Turn on the TV By his tone I knew he was serious. I said, What channel? He said, Any channel. I was stunned when I joined the rest of the world in trying to process this tragedy, and still am. Kristin Bauer currently stars in the HBO series True Blood Jill Zarin, Reality TV Star: I was on my way to a fashion show, and the person I was going with never showed up. I called and she told me to turn on the news. My apartment looked onto the World Trade Center, and I saw the second plane hit. My daughter was at the United Nations International School, and they locked down the school. It was unbelievable, like a war zone, such devastation and tragedy, every story a nightmare.

Fran Drescher, Actress: (Drescher was at her California home on 9/11) My boyfriend woke me up and said, They bombed the World Trade Center, turn on the TV. I immediately turned it on and watched in horror along with the rest of the world when, for some reason, unknown t o myself, my eyes moved from the TV towards the window where I saw a pod of dolphins leaping joyfully in the water, and I felt in that moment it was divine intervention, a message from God that it was not the end of the world, just the end of the world as we knew it. Two-time Emmy nominee Fran Drescher currently stars in the TV Land series Happily Divorced Lee Brice, Country Music Artist: It was literally the first morning I woke up actually living in Nashville. My parents had helped me move in the day before, and they woke me up to the news. It quickly became a reality that our country was being attacked and we were in trouble, but you cant keep us down. We are the United States. Ten years later we are stronger and a whole lot smarter. Lee Brice hit song Love Like Crazy spent a record 56 weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart

Southwest Gardener
By Curtis Smith Q: For the second or third year in a row, we are not getting zucchini fruits. We get lots of male flowers and rarely any female producing ones. Vickie A: There are several potential reasons your zucchini plants are not producing fruit. Many summer squash, like zucchini, have a tendency to produce mostly female flowers under conditions of high temperatures and long days, such as we are now experiencing. This means that there may be little pollen available from male flowers. High nitrogen fertility in the soil may also result in an inappropriate ratio of male to female flowers. Phosphorus fertilizer may help balance soil nutrients. High temperatures can also kill the pollen so that it cannot effectively do its job. If the bees are present and you have mostly female flowers, then you may begin to see fruit forming as temperatures decline and the days become shorter. If you do not see bees visiting the flowers, you may need to pollinate the flowers by hand. Use a small paint brush or cotton swab to transfer pollen from the male flower to the tip of the stigma (the stem-like structure in the center of the open female flower). The female flower is only open for one day, and must be pollinated early in that day before the heat can harm the pollen. Send your gardening questions to Dr. Curtis Smith, NMSU Agricultural Science Center, 1036 Miller Rd. SW, Los Lunas, NM 87031. Curtis W. Smith, Ph.D., is an Extension Horticulture Specialist emeritus with New Mexico State Universitys Cooperative Extension Service.

Couch Theater
By Sam Struckhoff PICKS OF THE MONTH These hits are now available on DVD. Everything Must Go (R) Nick (Will Ferrell) is a nice guy; hes just hit a rough patch and perhaps drinks too much. In one day, Nick loses his job and comes home to find his wife has put all of his possessions on the lawn and locked up the house. Left with few options, Nick decides to open a beer and call it a yard sale, thus starting his journey to recovery and introspection. This is a fine dramatic role for Ferrell, and he fills it in nicely. Its a tricky line for this serious comedy, but Ferrell walks it to success in both laughs and audience sympathy.
The Perfect Host (R) David Hyde Pierce (Niles from Frasier) stars in this confusing-yet-admirable jumble of
neuroses, thrills and unsettling humor. A criminal on the run (Clayne Crawford) lies his way into the home of Pierces unsuspecting urbane gentleman, who is preparing for his big dinner party. A game of predator and prey ensues, in which few things are what they seem. Its dark comedy with notes of Hitchcock and a heaping pile of role reversals, twists and mind games.

hem, during the recent real estate bubble, a lot of loans were bundled and sold on Wall Street. This can get complex, but it may explain why the vacant home on your block has been vacant for three or more years, and the bank seems to care less because..no one may know who the actual investor is. At any rate, there are a lot of good deals to be had out there. Keep in mind, the banks know our market and, depending upon the condition of the home, they usually do not give homes away at prices that are half or less of the asking price. This may happen, but is extremely rare. Finally, before you go shop-
ping for a distressed property, make sure you have a solid loan approval, or otherwise be prepared to show proof of funds if paying cash. Finding the home first, then getting an approval is backward. They will NOT usually look at an offer without this proof. My suggestion: If you want a relevant, current and accurate list of foreclosures, short sales and bank-owned properties for our area, give us a call at MarketPlace Homes, 505-8880500! We CAN and WILL find you a good deal. Provided by Tom Bruno, Realtor with MarketPlace Homes. Tom can be reached at (505) 280-4940, or online at www.marketplacehomesnm.com.

Is Spot Giving You the Sniffles? Simple Tips to Fight Pet Allergy
Allergies no longer have to prevent pet ownership. By taking a few simple precautionary steps, it is possible to comfortably live with both pets and allergies. Here are a few tips: Shut the door. Keep cats or dogs from your bedroom and not just when you are sleeping. If you keep the door closed, it will prevent cat or dog hair from drifting in during the day. This also applies to a guest room if you are hosting a guest with allergies. Keep pets off the furniture. You can do this by placing a plastic cover on the furniture or by placing pieces of aluminum foil on areas where pets settle. They find the noise disturbing.
Ditch the carpets. Pet hair tends to stick to carpets. Try area rugs on tile or wood floors. They are convenient because they are portable and usually machine washable. Bathe pets. Use an allergen-reducing shampoo and clean dogs weekly. Clean the air. Remove irritants with an air cleaner that has a HEPA filter. Vacuum and dust frequently. Use a vacuum designed especially for pet owners. These include features
such as an odor-absorbing filter and powerful suction, while still removing the dust and dirt that can trigger allergies and asthma.

Reviewed By Rose Croke The Language of Flowers By Vanessa Diffenbaugh (Ballantine Books, $25) Vanessa Diffenbaugh delivers a first-class, literary forget-menot with her debut novel, The Language of Flowers. The story begins on protagonist Vi c t o r i a Jones 18th birthday as she is emancipated from the foster-care system. Abandoned as an infant and shuffled from foster-care homes to group homes for most of her young life, Victoria is illequipped to face the future on her own. With nowhere to go, she spends her first night of independent living in a public park. Mistrust, resentment and anger are her only companions. Victoria views relationships as complicated and has trouble connecting with people. Finding solace in the beauty and meaning of flowers, she has long used the Victorian language of flowers to communicate with others and convey the complex emotions deeply rooted inside her. When the small garden she plants in the park is discovered, Victoria is offered a job at a local florist shop. There, she meets a mysterious vendor who seems to understand the messages Victoria communicates through her floral offerings and arrangements. The Language of Flowers cycles between the present and Victorias troubled past. She has spent her whole life running away from love. Diffenbaugh uses her own experience as a foster parent to create heartbreaking situations, palpable emotions and a remarkably multifaceted character, infused with depth, fortitude, flaws and, most importantly, hope.

between $500 and $900 for an analog hearing aid. A digital hearing aid should cost you between $900 and $1,400 each. We do sell hearing aids that are more expensive, but I have noticed that expensive aids dont make the patients hear any better. We also have some very inexpensive hearing aids. But, truthfully, with financing plans available, you can usually get a pretty good hearing aid for a lot less than you might think. You can also reduce the cost by reducing the parts and accessories sold with the hearing aid. If you think you might have a hearing loss or if your wife or husband mumbles call and come in for
a free evaluation. Were located at 1820 San Pedro Dr. NE, Suite 5, near the ABC Cake Shop, and were open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 8 a.m. to noon on Fridays. Friday is our nursing home day. Call us today at 255-8000 to schedule your free hearing evaluation. We will show you your options and prices, with no high-pressure sales pitch. And remember, dont buy the first hearing aid you see. Make sure you thoroughly understand your hearing problem, and what you can expect from a hearing aid. Call for a second opinion before you spend a lot of money.

Heres A Tip
by JoAnn Derson To test the seals on your refrigerator and freezer, close a piece of paper in the door. If you can pull it out easily, its likely that your seal is loose. Clean or replace door gaskets for a better seal. To keep vinyl car seats bearable in summer heat, keep a few towels in your vehicle and lay them over the seat. This also keeps the plastic parts of baby seats from burning little legs and arms. You can use plain white bread to get fingerprints and smudges off of wallpaper and semigloss painted walls. Just ball up the bread center (not the crust) and rub the smudge away. You can whiten chopping boards with lemon juice. Just use the cut side of a lemon to scrub the board, let it sit for up to 10 minutes, and rinse clean. Out of prewash and looking at a nasty grease stain? Grab your dishwashing liquid soap
(not the one you would put in your automatic dishwasher). Its designed to break down grease. Dab it on, scrub a bit and then let it set for about 15 minutes before laundering. Check bagged frozen vegetables with the squeeze test: A bag thats hard and solid has thawed and subsequently
refrozen. You should choose another bag, one with loose, free-moving pieces. Remove cloudiness from a batch of iced tea with this trick: Let your tea cool before refrigerating it. You also can add a small bit of boiling water to a glass of iced tea if it is already cloudy.

Sandia Marble manufactures all of its materials in a 21,500square-foot manufacturing space connected to a 3,500square-foot showroom at 1424 First St. NW.

With a 50-percent deposit, the work is typically scheduled within five to 10 working days much faster than the five- to six-week wait required by other installers, Abel says. Sandia Marbles experienced team usually requires just one day to install and complete the job.
