The Future of Hard Water Treatment

looks like this. Here are 14 key reasons your home needs it.
GMX is less expensive to
purchase, install and
operate than name-
brand softeners…
and we’ve been installing
systems in your
neighborhood for
15 years! Here’s why:
• Uses NO Sodium Salt • Increases Your Home’s Value
• Uses NO Potassium Salt • Protects Plumbing Fixtures
• Wastes NO Water • Boosts/Sustains Water Heater Efficiency
• Has NO Tanks • Conserves Water
• Uses NO Electricity • Improves Skin & Hair Condition
• Requires NO Maintenance • Safe for Plants

More Satisfied GMX Customers!

• NO Ongoing Operating Expenses • Safe for People with High Blood Pressure

Nyna and Randy Buller of Albuquerque

A conversation about coffee makers convinced Nyna Buller that GMX was worth looking
into. “A neighbor installed GMX systems a couple years ago,” Nyna recalls. “We have the
same model of coffee maker. Mine was constantly coated with white deposits of calcium,
while hers was clean and clear. I asked her if she’d had problems with her coffee maker
before installing GMX. She said yes, she had. That’s when I knew there was something to
this GMX.” Since the Bullers installed half-a-dozen GMX units in their Northeast Heights
home in 2009, calcium deposits have become a thing of the past. “We could tell immediate-
ly,” says Randy. From faucets and sinks to the dishwasher and the toilet bowls, calcium
buildup has disappeared. Randy says the shower door has less soap buildup, and he needs less
shampoo when washing his hair. Nyna says her dishes are brighter when they come out of the
dishwasher. She also says her skin is softer, and she uses less detergent when washing clothes
than she did before the GMX system was installed.
GMX systems use a high-intensity magnetic field to induce molecular changes in your
water. You get ALL the same benefits as softening the water without ANY of the has-
sles. GMX technology is long proven and has been the product of choice by savvy
New Mexico consumers for 15 years. Every customer is protected by a 90-Day Money
Does Your
Water Heater Back Guarantee and a Lifetime Warranty.

Landscaping
Made Easy
By Mike Dooley

What in the world is “hard-

scape?” Hardscape is a term for
landscape features that involve
concrete, masonry or wood.
Most clients love patios, retain-
ing walls, and ramadas, but
these items can be costly.
If you have a limited budget,
you must be conservative when
it comes to hardscape, and stick

that from the start, then you
could have reevaluated your
“wants” before the design was
done and saved a lot of time and
frustration.
The biggest mistake that I
see when it comes to hardscape
is that all the money is spent on
the structural elements with very
little left over for plants. No
matter how much you spend on
hardscape you will still have that
“sea of gravel” look if you don’t
have enough plants. Don’t

HearMart Offers Value

By Robin Martinez©
Thirty-six million Americans
— 17 percent of the population
— report some degree of hear-
ing loss. Or at least, that’s the points out that Consumer

Yet only 20 percent of people
who could benefit from a hear-

Unfortunately, hearing loss

HearMart Hearing Aids: Value, Honesty, Service
By Kelly Koepke©
After twenty-plus years in the
business of helping people hear
better, George Bourne knows
that service is what makes or
breaks a company. “We tell peo-
ple honestly that we’re different
from our competitors,” says
Bourne, a National Board for
Hearing Instrument Sciences
certified hearing aid dis-
penser, and owner of HearMart
Hearing Aids, Inc. “We don’t
push expensive hearing aids, or
the smallest or the most
complicated. Spending more
money on a hearing aid doesn’t
make your hearing better, and a
smaller device isn’t necessarily
the best for an individual
patient.”
Instead, Bourne first evaluates
a patient’s hearing during a free,
no-obligation consultation.
Only then can the most appro-
priate device be determined. “I
take into consideration
the overall health of my
patients,” says Bourne.
“Someone with arthritis or lim-
ited eye sight isn’t able to
manipulate the often tiny con-
trols of some hearing aids. And
I offer free lifetime mainte-
nance and cleaning of all the
devices I sell, as well conduct

Reports has stated that there is
no substantial difference
between brands. But that’s not
true of the prices. A recent news-
paper advertisement
listed a particular
device for $3,000 per
hearing aid, or $6,000
for a pair. HearMart
carries the exact same
brand at half the price.

HearMart’s hearing devices,
along with a lifetime warranty for

One of the reasons so few peo-
ple who need a hearing aid actu-
ally wear one is due to the lack of
available and convenient service.
If a hearing aid doesn’t appear to
be working properly, or isn’t per-
forming up to expectations, a
patient will often simply toss the
device into a bureau drawer,
never to be worn again. “Get

right before bed, and disruptive
sleep environments can all con-
tribute to poor sleep. For as
many as 12 million Americans,
as estimated by the National
Institutes of Health, the problem
may be a sleep disorder called
obstructive sleep apnea.
In obstructive sleep apnea,
the soft tissue in the back of the
throat collapses into the airway
during sleep, cutting off oxygen
to the blood. When patients with
sleep apnea stop breathing, the
brain rouses them (sometimes
hundreds of times a night)
resulting in fragmented, poor-
quality sleep.
Sleep apnea can strike any-
one at any age, and most cases
go undiagnosed. If you often
feel tired, visit the American
Sleep Apnea Association’s web
site (www.sleepapnea.org). If
you answer “yes” to any of its
six questions, ask your doctor
about sleep apnea. Treatments
are available and can greatly
improve your quality of life.
If you’ve ruled out sleep
apnea, but still find yourself
counting sheep, try the follow-
ing tips:
• Avoid stimulants. The caf-
feine in that cup of coffee will
remain in your body for six to
eight hours, so stop drinking
coffee after lunch. If you really
need a mid-afternoon pick-me-
up, try taking a brisk walk out-
side. Thirty to 60 minutes of
sunlight exposure per day can
help you sleep more soundly.
• Don’t take naps after three
p.m. Late-afternoon naps make
it more difficult to sleep later.
• Take a hot bath before bed.
The water will lower your body
temperature, mimicking what
happens during sleep. Keeping
your bedroom at a cool temper-
ature may also help.
• Lessen distractions before
bed. Give yourself time to wind
down with a book or relaxing
music. Keep televisions and
computers out of the bedroom.
If you find that you can’t fall
asleep, don’t lie awake in bed.
Find a quiet activity to do for 20
minutes, then try again.

Travel
Talk
When Americans discuss
their life dreams, they often
mention travel. But too many
people never see the pyramids,
the Taj Mahal or even New York
City. Today, Americans can
travel, through their state, across
the nation or internationally —
if they know their options.
Some travelers work in other
countries, in everything from
bartending to business. Many
countries seek qualified teachers
to teach ESL (English as a sec-
ond language) courses in
schools, colleges and offices.
For aspiring travelers with a
passion for helping others, tour
directing can be a rewarding
career. Yes, tour directors earn
up to $200 a day and get their
meals and hotels for free, but
successful tour directors want
more than a free trip — they also
want to learn, explore and com-

abroad. They set schedules, Avoid High Dealer Repair Rates

This allows the customer to
choose the exact color combina-

want. The result is a resurfaced
countertop or tub that has been
truly customized for your home.
Solid colors are also available.
“We are the most experienced
company offering countertop
