The amount you pay forSocial Security will temporarilydrop for 2011. In the past youand your employer have bothpaid 6.2 percent of your annual
gross income into the SocialSecurity fund. This year yourportion goes down to 4.2 per-cent.
Heres how that looks in realnumbers:
If you make $30,000, yourSocial Security tax will fall from$1,860 to $1,260, thus savingyou $600. Thats $50 per month.
If you make $40,000, yourSocial Security tax will fall from$2,480 to $1,680, thus savingyou $800. Thats $66 per month.
If you make $50,000, yourSocial Security tax will fall from$3,100 to $2,100, thus savingyou $1,000. Thats $83 permonth.
If youre self-employed youhave been paying 12.4 percentof your income to SocialSecurity. For this year, that willdrop to 10.4 percent.
The government, oneassumes, wants you to spendthat extra money out in the mar-
ketplace to help the economyget back on its feet by creatingother jobs. A better plan is to useit to help yourself.
Here are a few things you cando with that (albeit small)amount of money:
If you have credit-card debt,pick a card and increase yourmonthly payment by thatamount, perhaps even roundingup to the next $10 increment.
Catch up on past dueaccounts that have been costingyou extra in fees and interest.
Add the extra as a principalpayment on an existing loan,thereby shortening the life ofthat loan.
If you habitually run up debtat Christmas, once that debt ispaid off, put the extra money ina Christmas savings account atthe bank. By the end of this yearyoull have enough to pay cash
for all your purchases.Whatever you do, dont take
on new payments on theassumption that youll continueto have that increased amountin your pocket over the longhaul.

You Again is a pretty funnymovie if somewhat slow-
she thinks shes put all thatbehind her until Marnisbrother announces his engage-ment to her high-school tormen-tor Joanna (Odette Yustman).

Hard Water Damages Your HomeGMX Protects Your Home From Hard Water Damage Without Salt!
Serving NM Since 1993 INDEPENDENT DISTRIBUTORS
GMX Water ConditioningSolving Hard Water Problems
GMX Systems Solve Scale Build-up Problems
1. Typical scale andcalcium buildup causedby untreated water hasalmost closed this pipe.
2. This photo shows the effectof magnetically treatedwater on the same sectionof pipe a short time afterthe installation.
3. After continual treatment,most scale is removedand will be prevented aslong as the system is inoperation.
Does Your WaterHeater Make Rumblingand Popping Noises?Hard Water May Be
The Reason.
THE PROBLEM:
1. Mineral Deposits Ruin Fixtures Spots Etch Shower Doors
Crusty Deposits Corrode Faucets Ugly Ring in Toilets
2. Hard Water is Harsh Dries Skin and Hair
3. Deposits Damage Appliances Clogs Water Heaters and Dish Washers Clogs Faucets and Shower Heads
4. Salt Softeners Waste Water 5,000 to 15,000 Gallons Every Year
5. Softeners Require Maintenance
Constantly Adding Sodium or Potassium Salts
GMX systems use a high-intensitymagnetic fieldto induce molecularchanges in your water. You get ALLthe same benefits as softening thewater without ANY of the hassles.GMX technology is long proven andhas been the product of choice bysavvy New Mexico consumers for16 years. Every customer is pro-tected by a 90-Day Money BackGuarantee and a Lifetime Warranty.
Why Choose GMXInstead of a Softener?
Simplicity: GMX requires no bulky tanks or drains,no electricity. Installation usually takes less than anhour and usually requires no plumbing. It is about thesize of a shoebox, so it doesnt take up all your space.
Maintenance Free: GMX requires no maintenanceand no operating expense, it never needs to berepaired or replaced.
Healthy: Because GMX uses no salt or chemical, itis safe for plants, animals, and humans, even thosewith high blood pressure and heart disease.
Environmentally Safe: Because there is no backflushing, GMX is the only treatment for hard waterthat does not waste 1000s of gallons of water. GMXis safe for septic systems, even in areas that restrictdischarge of softener brine into septic systems.
Cost: Hard water costs you money in plumbingrepairs, appliance replacement, and expensive house-hold cleaners. Softeners cost three times as much asGMX and require constant maintenance. GMX savesyou enough to pay for itself in one to two years.
NO SALT NO MAINTENANCE NO WASTED WATER

Spring is just around thecorner in the Duke City, whichis normally the best time ofyear to put your home on themarket, in my opinion.
However, I have comeacross many sellers recentlywho have little or no equity intheir home making it difficultto sell. On the other side, buy-ers are being quite picky andtaking their time to make anoffer, and submitting usuallyvery aggressive offers at that!
Now more than ever, it isimportant to make your homestand out from the others beingsold. I cant emphasize thisenough. So, instead of address-ing staging as I usually do, Imencouraging you to think,What can I do to help buyersvisualize my home as theirpotential new home?
If you put yourself in thebuyers shoes, it may be easierthan you think.
Real Estate CornerBy Tom Bruno
Staging your home does nothave to necessarily cost youanything but your time. Otherthan the obvious remove theclutter comments, you can
and should evaluate furniture
placement and layout. Makethe room work for anyone, notjust you.
Remove the personal items buyers need to visualizetheir stuff in their newhome. Your taste in art maynot match theirs, so take downmost of the paintings and art-work. Additionally, simple
yard clean up and painting will
do wonders.Dont miss out on spring
home sales. Price your homeaggressively and make itmove-in-ready for potentialbuyers.

just the right photo of yourpets? There are a few basictechniques for photographinganimals that you can practice.Most of these are courtesy ofKodak, which still maintainspicture kiosks where you cantouch up digital photos if theydont come out perfect.
For active pets, use a fastshutter speed along with a highISO setting. If youre using asmall point-and-shoot camerayou should still be able toadjust these; check your cam-era's manual.
To avoid those glowing orred eyes, dont use the flash.An ISO setting above 400 ishelpful in low-light situations.You also can compensate byusing lots of natural light.
Use a tripod to steady thecamera, particularly in lowlight; this will reduce blurri-ness.
Photograph your pet fromits level, rather than standingabove. Try shooting at differ-
ent angles to see the effect. Keep the background
simple, whether at home or atthe park.
Want a picture of yourdog running? Keep him in thecenter of the viewfinder andpan along with him as he runs.Snap the picture when hes atan angle to you, not right infront.
In a still portrait, focus onyour pets eyes.

Not all exotic plants requirepampering and a green thumb toget results. Consider theKalanchoe daigremontiana, anative of South America.
It goes by a number of com-mon names. Pregnant plant,mother of thousands and devilsbackbone are just a few of thecommon names.
This is an interesting plant formany reasons. But first I shouldpoint out that it is very toxic tohumans and pets. Do not eat it,and keep it away from pets andchildren.
The ability of this plant to pro-duce foliar embryos through the
process of apomixes makes itvery interesting. Baby plants(foliar embryos), which are pro-duced along the edge of the leaf,drop to the soil and take root whenthey are mature. Each then pro-duces a new plant.
I first learned of this plantwhen I was in my early teens andsaw it at a friends house. I wasgiven some of the embryos andput them into my coat pocket. Iforgot about the embryos and putmy coat in the closet at home. Ifound the coat with embryos inthe pocket many months later. Iplanted them and they grew.
This toughness makes this agood plant for people withbrown thumbs. This is one plantthat you can kill only by overwa-tering or never watering.
The Kalanchoe daigremon-tiana are succulent plants (fleshyplants with stored water in the tis-sues). This explains their tough-ness and ability to survive very
infrequent watering. They bloomonly rarely for most indoor gar-deners, and, because the flowersare attractive, they are very inter-esting plants to grow.

Going GreenHeres hot news: Geothermal
heating and cooling systems notonly save you money, theyallow for more peace and quietat home. Unlike ordinary airconditioners or heat pumps,
theres no noisy outdoor unit todisturb your environment oryour neighbors.
In addition, they provide pre-cise distribution of comfortableair all year long, eliminating hotand cold spots. Using a series ofunderground pipes called aloop, a geothermal systemremoves heat energy from theearth to heat your home. In hotweather, the system delivers coolair by pulling heat out of the
building and depositing it backinto the cooler earth. The groundmaintains a steady temperaturebecause it absorbs 47 percent ofthe suns energy as it hits theEarths surface. Geothermal sys-tems are designed to use that freeenergy just under the surface.
Geothermal systems are easy
to install, especially whenreplacing a forced-air system.Most systems dont need muchmaintenance beyond a periodiccheck and filter changes.According to the experts at
WaterFurnace, a leading manu-facturer of geothermal coolingand heating equipment, home-owners with geothermal sys-tems can anticipate an averagesystem life span of more than 24years, along with less mainte-nance and lower life cycle coststhan a traditional system.
Many homeowners can evenget a tax credit for installing ageothermal system by 2016.The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) pro-vides a one-time tax credit of 30percent of the total investmentfor homeowners who install res-idential ground loop or ground-water geothermal heat pumps.

When your home needs plumbing, heating, cooling or electrical work, its time to see anexpert! Co-owner Tracy Howland (far left) and each member of the crew at Affordable ServicePlumbing & Heating specializes in a particular field, so plumbers do the plumbing, electricians
do the electrical work, and HVAC installers do installation.
By Page TurnerFor three years, Sherry lived
with a dysfunctional air condi-tioner in her Rio Rancho home.From the day it was installed, Ihad trouble with it, she says.She sweltered through the highdesert summers with a unit that
never cooled enough. I calledthree different local heating andcooling companies over thecourse of those three years tohave them diagnose and repairthe problem, she says. None ofthem could figure out what waswrong with it. One recommend-ed I just replace the whole sys-tem, while another charged me$1,500 and still couldnt fix it.
Luckily for Sherry, she dis-covered Affordable ServicePlumbing & Heating. We usedcomputerized technology tolocate a twist in the refrigerationline, says co-owner TracyHowland. It was an inexpen-sive fix, and we were able toaccomplish what no other com-pany to that point could wecooled Sherrys home and madeher comfortable.
For 25 years, AffordableService Plumbing & Heatinghas made customer satisfactionits top priority. Actually, we tryto take our customers beyondthe point of satisfaction to thepoint of customer delight,
Tracy says. We want to buildand maintain a relationship thatwill make you a customer forlife.
Every one of AffordableService Plumbing & Heatingsinstallers is licensed. The com-pany holds its own MasterMechanical license andElectrical Engineers license.They have an A+ rating with theBetter Business Bureau, andnumerous positive ratings onAngies List a website whereconsumers rank their personal
experiences with local compa-nies. We provide the best qual-ity installations, Tracy says.Our guys are specialists in theirfields: the plumbers just doplumbing, the electricians justdo electrical, installers justinstall, and salespeople just sell.
This way, the best pos-sible person is takingcare of your particularneeds. This set up also
prevents any bait-and-switch pricing, sincethe installer doesnt setthe pricing. Affordableuses a flat-rate pricingstructure, based on a
national average of how long ajob would take if performed by acompetent technician not anhourly figure that could beskewed by the techs skill level.All of our techs are backgroundchecked and drug tested.
Theyre trustworthy, and Iwould feel comfortable sendingthem to my own grandmothershouse, he says.
