Hints To Help You Win
At Losing
(NAPSA)-If you’ve
long thought you have
a fat chance of staying
slim, a new plan and
product can be good
news for you.
Fat Loss Facts
The plan, created
by Dr. Charles Livingston, is not a diet but
a healthy weight lifestyle that’s a lot easier
to stick to than you
may think.
There’s a very high
success rate and you
lose the weight incredibly fast. There’s even
a money-back guarantee. Called the Fat Loss
Factor, it offers seven
ways to burn fat, fast:
1. Police your kitchen. Get rid of every-
thing that’s loaded
with sugar and you’ll
avoid a lot of the pitfalls that keep many
people from achieving
their goals.
2. Cut out that
low-intensity
cardio. End your useless
routines and move
toward some bursts
of intense training
followed by recovery
paces to boost the rate
at which your body
burns fat.
3. Equip yourself at
home to do some exercise. Get a balance
ball, a weight bench
and some dumbbells
so you can do some
work while you’re
away from the gym.

4. Be careful about
your eating. Schedule
your grocery trips,
and plan what you’re
going to eat and when.
Then be very selective
at the store to get the
most natural, nutritious foods you can.
5. Make a third of
your diet raw fruits
and veggies. They
contain loads of antioxidants, minerals,
vitamins,
digestive
FOCUS COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER • Friday, March 25, 2016 Page 7
enzymes and fiber to
clean your digestive
tract and pull out unwanted toxins. Grabbing celery sticks, an
apple, an orange, carrot sticks and so on is
a fast and easy way to
snack. Basically, the
closer it is to nature,
the better it’s likely to
be for you and your
waistline.
6. Eat only when
you’re hungry. Just
because it’s lunchtime
doesn’t mean you
have to eat. Maybe
your body can use a
break from digestion.

7. Try a dietary supplement such as an
advanced
digestive
enzyme complex. It’s a
comprehensive blend
of 16 unique digestive enzymes whose
key ingredients have
been shown to help
your body fully break
down and absorb the
nutrients contained in
any and every food
you eat.
Just take one single
capsule at the start
of each meal for enhanced
absorption
of health-promoting,
age-defying and disease-fighting vitamins,
minerals, phytochemicals and antioxidants
from all foods.

tifully, but if the fabric
is not of good quality,
the quilt will show it
by distorting as you
piece it together, by
fading, or by wearing
quickly. You will want
to select the best fabric
you can afford. Good
fabric will have a nice
hand. It will soft but
not limp or stiff. You
can find good quality fabric at your local
quilt shop like The
Quilted Crow, which
offers a wide variety
of cotton quilting fabrics. Almost all good

Have
you
ever
wanted to learn to
quilt? Now is a good
time to begin your
quilt journey. Quilting brings enjoyment,
relaxation, is an outlet
for your creativity, and
gives great joy when
the project is completed and is given to
someone who enjoys
it.
You will face many
choices as you begin
your quilt. Fabric is
probably the most
important part of the
quilt. You can piece
precisely, press perfectly, and quilt beau-
fabric sticks to cotton
fabric, making it easier to piece because it
doesn’t slide.
If you are serious
about learning to quilt,
call or come in to the
shop to talk about the
classes we offer. We
have beginners classes starting April 8 and
April 9. In just eight
sessions, you will learn
how to choose fabrics,
cut the fabric, piece
your quilt blocks, put
the quilt top together,
machine quilt (simple
straight line quilting),
and bind your quilt.
The finished project
will be either a crib or

Become a leak detective! According to the
U.S.

But if you have 10
minutes, these clues

can help you detect
and fix leaks throughout your home:
• Check your utility
bill. During the winter,
if a family of four is using more than 12,000
gallons of water per
month, it could be the
clue to a leak.
• Read your water
meter. Check your water meter-often near
the curb in front of
your home or in the
basement-during

Window
Film - A
Powerful
Defense
For Homeowners
N A P S I ) — M a n y
Americans think they
need to worry about
skin protection only
when they are outside.
However, according
to the International
Window Film Association (IWFA), the
harmful UV rays that
people are concerned
about while outdoors
can also penetrate into
homes, with the possibility of causing damage.
Typical
windows
block as little as 25 percent of UV rays which,
if left unchecked, can
cause extensive damage to the skin, including premature aging,
wrinkles and even skin
cancer. Additionally,
the UV rays may accelerate the fading of
furniture, flooring and
other décor.
Fortunately,
professionally installed
window film may act
as a powerful defense
against these problems, by blocking up
to 99 percent of the UV
rays.
Installing window
film can also have a
positive affect on en-
ergy costs, because
it can help regulate
room temperatures,
thus lowering energy bills during warm
and, in some cases,
even cold weather.

Avoid Gutter Cleaning
(NAPSI)—There’s
good news, bad news
and better news for
people who don’t like
to clean out their gutters.
The good news is,
you won’t have to
if you get any of the
more than 40 different
versions of gutter covers around.
FOCUS COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER • Friday, March 25, 2016 Page 17
The bad news is,
covered gutters are
breeding grounds for
mosquitoes and for
nesting bees, wasps,
even small rodents.
Torrential rains can
overwhelm the cover, causing ground
erosion. The covered
gutter can increase the
chance for damaging
winter ice-dams.
The better news:
There is an alternative.
The time-tested Rainhandler Rain Dispersal System has a patented louver design
so gutters don’t collect
leaves or debris and
require no cleaning
or maintenance. Gentle, rain-sized drops
spread out, away from
your home. You’ll nev-
er have to climb a dangerous ladder to clean
gutters again.

Buying Smart Home
Technology? Ask Three
Questions First
(NAPSI)—This year,
many families will become owners of smart
home technology for
the first time. Connected to the Internet and
controlled by smartphone apps, smart
home devices promise
to enhance everyday
life with convenience,
energy savings and
even security. How-
ever, taking the wrong
approach when buying them can lead to
an expensive case of
buyer’s remorse.
This very new technology comes with
some unique considerations and options that
many shoppers may
overlook in pursuit of
the best deal at retail.
Before clicking ‘buy’,
ing network of smart
home service providers who supply, install
and configure smart
home devices.
2. Is security important?
Many of this year’s
most popular smart
products, such as
streaming video cameras and smoke detectors, offer awareness
of what’s happening
at home. But when it
comes to security, they
are
self-monitored.
You’ll get a text message if there’s trouble
at home but what happens if you don’t get
the message or can’t
respond?
For the security
minded, professional-
ly monitored options
are a better buy.

Hot-start The indoor unit’s fan only
blows air when the coil has warmed to
the desired temperature. An energy-saving measure, it also prevents drafts of cold air at start-up.
i-see SenorTM This sensor scans the room and adjusts temperature
and airflow automatically. Maintain consistent comfort by eliminating
cold and hot spots. H2i® Technology The patented Hyper-Heating inverter (H2i) technology is designed to provide comfortable indoor temperatures in extreme
cold-climate conditions (as low as -13o F) while saving energy and money. Zone Control Why cool or
heat rooms you don’t use? Why sweat or shiver in those you do? Zone control allows you to optimize the
temperature of any space with an indoor unit to save energy and reduce costs. Create your own perfect
comfort zones! Quiet Operation Indoor units run quiet as a whisper and outdoor units run quieter
than a refrigerator. You have to hear it (or not) to believe it! Enhanced Filtration Systems Washable filters last up to 10 years and remove pollen, dust, dander and other allergens that reduce indoor air
quality. Each room has its own filter to ensure pristine air.

Fixing recalls helps

most recall fixes are
completed in less than

Remember that only
a manufacturer’s dealer is authorized to fix
recalls. If your car is
