Actually, explains Isaac Mizrahi, a legendary fashion icon and designer of the Isaac Mizrahi Live! line created especially for QVC as well as the Isaac Mizrahi New York label, “fashion should serve style. Style comes first and fashion is there to help execute that style.” He offers this kind of advice and more, Monday nights on QVC® during “Fashion’s Night In™.” Here are some of his tips to make fashion work for you. 1. Know when a particular style doesn’t work for you and pass on it. Sometimes the look you’re going for just doesn’t flatter or meet your personal style. Don’t wear it simply because high fashion has shown it. 2. One woman’s “too much” is another woman’s “basic.” Don’t be afraid to take risks. Mix prints, wear head-to-toe tonal color (other than black), layer accessories to the max—as long as you own it and it’s your style, it will ring true and authentic. 3. You can’t listen to other people if you want your own style. Be inspired by runways and editorial pages and whomever you like but also be inspired by nature and music and movements—whatever speaks to YOU. That’s how you find your own. You can catch Isaac 2094 S. Delaware Drive, Mt.

(NAPSA)-When a new heating system is in your home’s future, you’d be wise to consider the pros and cons of heat pumps and furnaces. Both distribute air through a home using heated air rather than heated water. A heat pump does this by extracting heat from outside air and circulating it through your home. A furnace uses electricity or gas to produce heat. The following tips can help in selecting the system that’s right for you: • Consider the cli- FOCUS COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER • Friday, April 8, 2016 Page 17 mate. For people who reside in areas where the temperature rarely dips below 30 degrees, a heat pump may be more affordable than a furnace, removing heat from outside air and transferring it to the home. As temperatures drop below 30 degrees, the heat pump must work harder to extract heat and its efficiency decreases as a result. • Compare efficiencies.

A Great Roofing Option (NAPSI)—Here’s news many building owners may greet warmly: Using spray foam insulation as a roofing material can help make your place more comfortable and durable. This is possible because spray polyure- thane foam insulation offers versatility that most other insulation products do not. Depending on the project and type of spray foam, it can serve as an air barrier, a moisture barrier and can even offer structural support. And this versatility has made certain high-density, closedcell spray foam insulations an increasingly popular choice as a roofing material in many renovation and new construction projects. Traditional roofing systems often depend on several layers of materials, such as waterproofing membranes, decking and insulation, to protect their buildings. A spray foam roof, however, can limit the layers of materials and decrease the weight on the building. Combined with a coating material, spray foam roofing can remove the need for a separate waterproofing mem- brane, as it’s seamless and self-flashing, which helps keep water from seeping through weak spots, such as fasteners and seams. It can also be installed in a sloped manner, providing Small Engine Repair & Mower Services www.bhsmallengine.com Located at Sugar Hollow Farms - Effort Servicing and Repairing Mowers, Lawn & Garden Tractors, Generators, Snowblowers, etc. Keep Your Outdoor Power Equipment Running Strong.

Get Pressure Right-Low tire pressure can decrease fuel economy. Tires may lose up to one pound PSI (per square inch) of air pressure per month. The specific inflation pressure number may be found on the vehicle placard located inside the driver’s door. Don’t forget to check trailer tires. Checking the tire pressure for boat, travel and utility trailers is as important as for your Free Tax return When used to purchase a vehicle Bring your last paycheck or W2!

Road trippers should also check tire tread depth by using the “penny test.” Insert a penny upside down into the tread. If you see Abe Lincoln’s entire head, it’s time to replace the tire. 3. Rotate Often-Regular rotation helps achieve uniform tire wear and improves road performance. Tires rotated every 6,000 miles have longer life and will help maximize your tire investment. 4. Don’t Forget the Spare-Don’t get stuck with a flat tire in the middle of nowhere and discover that your spare is also flat. Check your spare tire on a regular basis as you would your other tires. 5. Don’t Overload-Overloading your vehicle’s or trailer’s carrying capacity is dangerous and can lead to tire failure. Handling, control and braking are also negatively impacted. Check your owner’s manual for load capacity specifications prior to packing your vehicle before vacation. Remembering these Open to the Public 2 Auctions Weekly!
