“Fame is a fi ckle food – Upon a shifting plate.” -Emily Dickinson

We at Snippetz love to reminisce and today we’re thinking back on those music’s “one-hit won-

ders” of long ago and some from more recent times. Do you remember any or all of these? Can you get through the day today without humming a few of these oldies?

Oh, life could be a dream (sh-boom) If I could take you up in paradise up above

(sh-boom)

In 1954, the song “Sh-Boom” was recorded by

SNIPPETZ IS ALL SMILES!

a doo-wop group that called themselves The Chords. The song was on both the rhythm & blues as well as the pop charts that year. It was so pop-ular that other publishing companies were clam-oring to purchase the rights. After The Chords began appearing on television, it was discovered that there was another group calling themselves by the same name. This prompted The Chords to change their name to the Chordcats. The group’s 15 minutes of fame was soon over and after many more attempts and a name change to The Sh-Booms, the group never returned to the hit charts. However, “Sh-Boom” lives on. The song was used in Disney/Pixar’s “Cars” in 2006.

“It was a one-eyed, one-horned,fl yin’ purple people eater”

In 1958, actor, cowboy, rodeo rider and country-western singer Sheb Wooley (1921-2003) ven-tured into the pop charts with “Purple People Eater.” Although well known for his purple hit, he was also a successful actor, playing in west-ern fi lms such as “The Outlaw Josey Wales” and “High Noon,” as well as TV’s “Rawhide” and “Hee Haw.” He also wrote the theme song for the TV hit show “Hee Haw” and played the charac-ter of Ben Colder. Under the name Ben Colder, he produced parody recordings such as “Shaky Breaky Car” (“Achy Breaky Heart”) as well as one of his own with “Purple People Eater 2.”

“The day my momma socked it tothe Harper Valley PTA”

Jeannie C. Riley was best known for her simul-taneous appearance on both the country-western and pop charts in 1968 with her No. 1 hit, “Harper Valley PTA.” She was the fi rst woman to achieve this milestone. It was 1981 before Dolly Parton repeated this achievement with her No. 1 hit, “9 to 5.” “Harper Valley PTA” was hugely popular, winning the Single of the Year Award from the Country Music Association, as well as earning Riley Best Female Country Vocal Performance at the Grammy awards. And that’s not all. The song launched Riley’s career into television and movies. She was the fi rst female country-western singer to host her own variety show, “Harper Val-ley USA,” which she hosted with country singer and guitarist Jerry Reed. Tired of her mini skirt and go-go boot image, she donned more con-servative attire in the 1970’s when she became a born again Christian and focused her attention on gospel music. She describes her career in her

1980 autobiography, “From Harper Valley to the Mountain Top.”

“They’re coming to take me away,Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha,

To the funny farmWhere life is beautiful all the time”

It was 1966 when Jerry Samuels, a record pro-ducer and songwriter recording under the name Napoleon XIV, produced “They’re Coming To Take Me Away Ha-Haaa.” The song climbed to No. 1 on the pop charts within a week of release, but dropped off the charts almost as quickly. There was much pressure put on the radio sta-tions from advocacy groups for the mentally ill to pull the plug on this novel hit. Samuels’ career was not over, as he continued to write and record songs, never again making the Top 40.

“In the summer time when the weather is highYou can chase right up and touch the sky”

Mungo Jerry is the name of an English folk mu-sic/rock group, not a person, lead by musician Ray Dorset. It was 1970 when “In The Summer-time” hit the pop charts in both the U.K. and the U.S., as well as many other countries around the world. Although Mungo Jerry never had another No. 1 hit in the U.S., their popularity remained strong in the U.K. and Europe, as well as behind the iron curtain where the group performed on television, the fi rst western band to break that barrier. Over the years, the group evolved and changed with many new members and styles, al-ways headed by Ray Dorset. They also recorded the fi rst reggae version of Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” Mungo Jerry is still produc-ing music, more recently releasing a single “Mr. Midnight” from “Phantom of the Opera on Ice,” as well as two new albums in 2007.

“Do the hustle…Do the hustle…”

Yes, those are all the words in this song – the same three repeated over and over. Wish you came up with this snappy tune and lyrics? Van Allen Clin-ton McCoy (1940-1979) was sure happy he did so in 1975 and the song is still playing for danc-ers today. “The Hustle” was his one and only hit; however, his real life’s work was as a music producer, songwriter and orchestra conductor. He produced records for many famous recording artists such as Aretha Franklin, Peaches & Herb, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Melba Moore and the Stylistics.

“Lay down the boogie andplay that funky music til you die”

Rob Parissi led his band Wild Cherry (named af-ter a cough drop fl avor) to stardom for the one hit wonder, “Play That Funky Music” in 1976. The No. 1 hit made it on the pop, R&B and Billboard charts that year and the group received Top R&B Single of the Year, an American Music Award, and received two Grammy nominations. The group made three more albums with limited suc-cess and the group eventually disbanded. “Play That Funky Music” is still a requested song on dance fl oors everywhere.

“‘Cause I got Pac-Man FeverIt’s driving me crazy”

The duo Buckner (Jerry) and Gar-cia (Gary) recorded “Pac-Man Fe-ver” in 1982, followed by an entire album of songs about arcade video games. And if that’s not enough, the song was re-recorded in 1999. Enough said.

“Don’t worry, be happy”

Bobby McFerrin was enjoying a career as a pianist and singer in the 1970’s and 1980’s when he produced the 1988 album “Simple Pleasures,” which spawned the No. 1 hit “Don’t

Worry Be Happy.” The single was also featured in the movie “Cock-tail.” McFerrin is best known for his musical talent with vocal range, switching from falsetto to normal to perform melody and the accompanying portions of songs. He also uses his mouth and taps his chest to make music. “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” won McFer-rin acclaim for Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance.

“I’m too sexy for my love…shirt…car…cat”

In 1992, Right Said Fred, an Eng-lish pop band hit the charts with “I’m Too Sexy,” a fun song about a very confi dent male fashion mod-

el. The band leaders, Fairbrass broth-ers Richard and Fred, appeared in the Daz Detergent’s (a U.K. product) advertising campaign, renaming the song, “I’m Too Sexy For My Whites,” as new band name “White Said Fred.” The No. 1 hit also had the distinction of being named by Blender as No. 49 on the “Run for Your Life! It’s the 50 Worst Songs Ever!” list.

“A little bit of Monica…Erica…Rita…Tina…Sandra…Mary…Jes-

sica…Angela…Pamela”

Lou Bega, a West German born Lat-in-pop musician, remade Mambo No. 5 in 1999 from the early 1950’s Perez Prado instrumental. The song became a hit on the European charts almost instantly and was No. 3 on the American pop charts. Mambo No. 5 has prompted many versions and re-makes since it’s 1999 debut including a Radio Disney version which re-placed the ladies’ names with Disney Character names, as well as replacing some lyrics such as the “liquor store around the corner” with the “candy store around the corner.” The ladies’ names were replaced with types of cars in a CarMax commercial, as well as with New York Yankee player names during a version written for the 2000 World Series.


The song was also awarded 6th place in Rolling Stone Magazine’s 10 most annoying songs.

“Don’t tell my heart,my achy breaky heart”

Today, Billy Ray Cyrus may be more famous for being the father of Miley Cyrus, but the country singer and actor has enjoyed great success of his own. His most notable on the pop charts was his crossover tune, “Achy Breaky Heart” recorded in 1992. Cyrus has also starred in movies and TV shows such as Love Boat, The Nanny and co-starred with his daughter Miley in Disney’s Hannah Montana.

Although cited as a one-hit won-der on the pop charts due to “Achy Breaky Heart,” Cyrus’ career may be far from fi nished and the fu-ture may hold more pop chart hits, eliminating his place on the one-hit wonder list.

“Fame is like a shaved pig with a greased tail, and it is only after it has slipped through the hands of some thousands, that some fellow, by mere chance, holds on to it!”

STRANGEBUT TRUE

By Samantha Weaver

• You’re more likely to have a heart at-tack on a particularly hot or a particu-larly cold day.

• Famed actor Gary Cooper was offered the role of Rhett Butler in the fi lm ad-aptation of Margaret Mitchell’s novel “Gone With the Wind,” but he turned down the part. He said he believed the movie would be “the biggest fl op in Hollywood history.” The fi lm went on to win 10 Academy Awards, including one for Best Actor, which was taken home by Clark Gable, who took the part that Cooper refused.

• It was Albert Einstein who made the following sage observation: “Not ev-erything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.”

• When you think of the Middle Eastern country of Dubai, what comes to mind? If you’re like most people, it’s probably a vision of sweeping desert dunes. You

might be surprised to learn, then, that by the end of this year, the arid country will be home to two year-round snow-ski resorts. Indoor resorts, of course.

• Piracy -- yes, piracy -- is on the rise. A recent study shows that between 2000 and 2006, maritime attacks by pirates increased drastically, to an av-erage of more than 350 per year.

• The modern dishwasher was invent-ed way back in 1886. A woman named Josephine Cochrane came up with the idea because she was unhappy with the way her fi ne china was being chipped by the servants who were washing it.

• Those who study such things claim that of those who receive a greeting card unexpectedly, 90 percent imme-diately call the sender or send a card or letter in return.

Demand for electricity in America is growing. It is estimated we will need 30% more electricity by 2030.

The challenge before Congress: Balancing electricity needs and environmental goals.

We need to ask our legislators: How much is all this going to increase my electric bill and what will you do to make it affordable.

Start a conversation with your Representatives by going to MVEA’s web site at www.mvea.coop and clicking on the “Our Energy. Our Future” link.

Americans deserve to know the im-pact any legislation will have on their family budget. By workingtogether we can nd the right solutions, the right balance.

HOW TOWIGGLEOUT OF THE MUD

By Dr. Ron Ross

THE FOOTBALL SEASON HAS

STARTED!!

The Democrats had their big party in Denver and the Republicans celebrated in St. Paul. Now it’s

time to get down to something really im-portant: Football!

Some less-than-intelligent people think that football is a meaningless game where large brainless men smash into each other in order to advance an odd-shaped ball to the opponent’s end of the fi eld. For me, it is a ballet of nimble competitors con-tending on a lovely, manicured meadow in the presence of thousands of loyal en-thusiasts.

I understand that some people wager on football games while others can watch it only if accompanied by a six-pack of beer. I do neither. I’m a purist. I watch it for the sheer beauty and grace of an exquisite contest.

One really good thing about football is that you can hate some team or some city or even a whole state and it’s well within the bounds of public decency. Hating Oakland because of the Raiders or Nebraska because of the Cornhuskers is considered to be perfectly normal and in some circles, mandatory.

When I lived in Nebraska everyone hat-ed Oklahoma. When I moved to Colo-rado many years ago everyone hated Nebraska and most people still do, so I decided to cheer for the Air Force Acad-emy. Then my dad reminded me I was born in the Navy so I had to detest the Air Force Academy – at least on the day they played Navy. After several decades in Colorado I now cheer wildly for the Buffaloes and the Broncos and I have learned to detest several more cities and states on their behalf.

With all the political activity going on I think it would be good if one of the can-didates would take a position on an issue that I think is of paramount importance. I think it is time that football, real foot-ball, American football be proclaimed the national sport.

Let’s face it, over the years baseball has lost its luster for three reasons: 1. Half the players are foreigners. 2. About all they do is spit, scuff their feet in the dust, adjust their shirts, and scratch themselves in places that they shouldn’t scratch when the TV cameras are on them. And 3. The game is just too boring.

Football and football players are much more entertaining. They run, block, throw, tackle, stiff-arm, chop block, clothesline, shout, fi ght, curse, hug, cry, and best of all, they dance…in the end zone when they score. When baseball players score all they do is high-fi ve or slap each other on the butt, then go to the dugout for another plug of chew and some jock-itch powder.

I’m so glad the football season has started that I told my wife, “Honey, we’ve had a great summer together. I’ll see you in a few months.”

MEDICARE WEB SITE

IS ALABYRINTH

A Florida study just showed something that many of us already know: The Medi-

care Web site is very diffi cult to navigate. According to the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, whether we’re looking for home health-care services, try-ing to enroll in Part D or trying to decide which drug plan is best for us, more of us can’t fi nd the infor-mation we need.

This wasn’t a casual study, either. Researchers brought in 112 partici-pants age 50 and older, all of whom were computer literate -- and proved it by passing a test. Even with com-puter skills, the results showed how diffi cult it is to navigate the Medi-care site:

• 80 percent could not choose the right home health agency.

• 68 percent couldn’t get infor-mation about eligibility for home health-care services.

• 83 percent couldn’t do the com-

putations to decide which home health-care plan was best.

• 72 percent couldn’t locate infor-mation for enrolling in the Part D drug program.

Those are sad statistics, especially for such an important site.

If you’ve tried the Medicare Web site [www.medicare.gov] and couldn’t get the information you want, there are other avenues. Call Medicare at 1-800-633-4227 and have your questions ready.

For help on the local level, you can call Medicare and ask for a State Health Insurance Assistance Pro-grams contact in your area. SHIPs are state programs with trained counselors who can walk you through determining which plans are right for you, and what your rights and options are.

Don’t forget that the drug-plan en-rollment period starts soon. If se-lecting the options that are best for you is going to be even more dif-fi cult than you fi rst thought, you might want to start now in gathering your information.

The 15th annual Empty Bowl Dinner fundraising event for Tri-Lakes Cares will be held

at the Lewis-Palmer High School on Wednesday, October 15, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The Monument Hill Sertoma Club sponsors this event in conjunction with the LPHS Serteen Club.

Eight hundred (800) tickets will go on sale in mid to late September and must be purchased in advance at a number of retail outlets in Monu-ment, Jackson Creek, Palmer Lake and Woodmoor. The cost is a $20.00 donation to Tri-Lakes Cares. Please make checks payable to Monument Hill Sertoma who manages the fi -nances for this event.

Every dollar from ticket sales and the silent auction goes to Tri-Lakes Cares as a gift from you to those less fortunate. Donations from local citizens, artists, merchants, restau-rants, churches, and other organi-zations provide the food and cover expenses for the dinner. In addition to Monument Hill Sertoma and the Serteen Club, volunteers from Tri-Lakes Cares, and volunteers from the high school Food Service and Custodians make this event possible with LPSD #38 donating the facil-ity for the evening..

Our area potters and art classes pro-vide the foundation for the Empty Bowl Dinner by donating their handmade bowls to complement a home cooked meal.

At the dinner, each person will view the handmade bowls on a table with the potter’s name designating their bowls. In addition to great home-made soup, bread, and dessert din-ner, each person will choose one of the artist’s bowls to take home with them as a reminder of our commu-nity’s generosity.

Entertainment with a local fl avor will be provided this year as one

Tile tends not to wear out if it is properly selected and in-stalled. However, sometimes

tile that is not designed to withstand heavy traffi c is installed in an area of heavy traffi c, and begins to show wear. If this is the case with your tile, consult a tile fl ooring professional to see if your tiles can be treated or re-conditioned to restore them and pre-pare them for future wear. If this is not possible, replace your worn tiles with tiles designed to withstand the stresses of the location where they will be installed. There are tile rating systems that can help you purchase the appropriate replacement tiles.

As you begin to shop, you’ll fi nd that a wide variety of tile brands are avail-able. Some major manufacturers pro-duce tiles in many styles and colors. Other brands, however, can be very specialized and might produce tile using one technique, utilizing a de-sign from a geographic region, or for specifi c home applications. Tile can be found in large home improvement stores like Home Depot and Lowes, but higher end brands are only on dis-play in specialized showrooms.

Installing tile is a skill, but it is a skill that can be learned. Successful tile in-stallation requires careful preparation and planning, some design sense, and the ability to cut, lay out, and secure the tiles. Laying tile is a common and satisfying home project. However, a majority of homeowners choose to use professional installers rather than to do-it-themselves. Professional in-stallers may be aware of some design options and techniques that you may not be familiar with. They will be able to anticipate challenges that may be unique to an environment. If you have spent many thousands to remodel your bathroom or tens of thousands to remodel your kitchen, consider using a fl ooring tile professional to install your tile to ensure that the results are equal to the rest of your remodeling investments.

Tile fl ooring requires a subfl oor or substrate that is fl at and infl exible. The subfl oor must be fl at to that the tiles adhere and so that foot traffi c will not force the tiles off its adhe-sive. A fl exible board may enable you to lay your tile fl at and yield a success initial installation, but foot traffi c the

causes the subfl oor to fl ex will even-tually result in the tiles coming loose. If you are working with a tile installa-tion professional, they will be able to evaluate your requirements for sub-fl oor and install it themselves. If the tile is being installed in a bathroom or kitchen, the subfl oor may need to be waterproofed prior to the tile be laid. There are four major variables to con-sider in the purchase of tile.

1. Size: Standard tiles can be a small as 1/4” square and as large as 12” square. If you are tiling a large fl oor, large tiles tend to look better and more appropriate. Large tiles also are less labor intensive to install, and large tiles work well in high-traffi cked en-try foyers and kitchens because less of the fl oor is comprised of harder-to-clean grout. Smaller areas can benefi t from the use of small tiles, and small tiles used on a bathroom fl oor have the advantage of being less slippery because more of the fl oor surface is grout.

2. Shape: Tiles come in many geo-graphic shapes. Shapes be used uni-formly or different shapes of tile can be combined on the same fl oor.

3. Color: You will fi nd tiles in every color and design. Generally, you need to decide if your tile fl oor will be a neutral color and design element, and if you will add color to your rooms using rugs, vases or and other de-sign elements. A properly installed tile fl oor will outlast your furniture, appliances, and fi xtures, so a neutral color will give you the most redeco-rating options in future years. If you do decide to use bold colors in your tile fl oor, remember the old addage that “more is less”. Color tile accents often make a bolder statement and are more attractive than an entire fl oor of brightly colored tiles.

4. Finish: Glazing is the process that ads luster and color to tiles. Glaze is added and the tiles are fi red at high temperatures in the kiln. Glazed tiles tend to be slippery -- particularly when wet -- though you can purchase glazed fl ooring tiles glazed with a “no slip” fi nish. This is a good idea for kitchens, rec rooms, and entry ways. Unglazed tiles are porous, and are susceptible to staining, unless they are sealed. Unglazed tiles used for indoor fl ooring are usually sealed, though sealing is less durable than most glazes and fl oor tiles may need to be resealed periodically. Unsealed, unglazed tiles are most frequently used outside in the yard or on the pa-tio.

A rating system is used for tiles to in-dicate what use they are designed for in your home:

• Class 1: Not designed for foot traf-fi c. Designed for walls, ceilings, or counters.

• Class 2: Light traffi c. Designed for walls or residential bathrooms that do not get heavy use.

• Class 3: Light traffi c to moderate traffi c. Good, reasonably durable tile suitable for many areas of the home. Bathrooms, sitting rooms, living rooms.

• Class 4: Moderate traffi c to heavy traffi c. Can be used with confi dence in any area of the home as well as for commercial fl ooring. In homes, these might be used in the areas with the heaviest traffi c and wear: foyers, kitchens, family or recreation rooms.

• Class 5: Heavy traffi c or extra heavy traffi c: Designed with com-mercial use in mind, and provides more protection than is necessary for home installations. Appropriate for subways, commercial building lob-bies, bus terminals.

Part of the charm and appeal of tile is that the design options are limitless. Here are just some of the consider-ations:

• Color: Uniform or varied. Neutral or bold.

• Shape: Uniform or varied. Each tile has its own shape, and tiles can be laid out in combination to create a large shape.

• Borders: Will you use a border or no border?

• Evoke a style: Tile can be very powerful in evoke a style or period. Do you want to use your tile to invoke a Mexican hacienda? A French cha-teau? A Japanese pagoda? Tile can be instrumental helping invoke any of these in your home.

The prices of tile vary widely. We en-courage you do match your tile in de-sign and quality to the other elements in a room. If you are spending $1,200 for a designer bathroom sink and $1,500 for a lighted mirror, it makes little sense to buy the cheapest tiles you can fi nd. Likewise, if you have installed modest kitchen appliances in your modest home, it probably does not make sense to purchase premium tiles imported from Venice. However, as we have mentioned previously, tile is one of the most permanent features you can add to a room.

So make sure that whatever tile you buy is of suffi cient quality and of ap-propriate rating to retain its appear-ance for many years.

FROM START TO FITNESS

By Andrea Renee Wyatt, M.S.S., C.S.C.S.

SETTING AN EXAMPLE

Q: After years of inactivity, I now exercise fi ve days a week, eat clean and consider myself to have a healthy lifestyle. My very good friend visits me before and after my workouts, but will not join me. She is overweight, does not exercise and eats poorly, and I am concerned about her health. How can I encourage her to begin to exercise and care about her health?

A: Living a healthy lifestyle is easier for some people than for others, and it can be challenging to have people in your life who do not share your lifestyle. The key is to continue to be a good example of living healthy while fi nding ways to be subtle and encourage your friend to adopt new habits.

As you may have found out with your friend, you have to allow for people to change when they are ready. En-courage your friend without becom-ing too pushy. Share your stories of when you fi rst began to exercise and how it took time for you to adapt to a lifestyle of exercise and eating well. Share recipes your friend would en-joy that are more healthful than what she may be eating. Just because your friend has not yet decided to embrace your healthy lifestyle does not mean she has not noticed the benefi ts you have received from your commit-ment.

Continue to invite your friend to ex-ercise when you’re doing a workout

that she can do successfully. Walking around the block while discussing the news of the day can be a way to ex-ercise while visiting with each other. Begin with a short walk that your friend can complete, and then gradu-ally increase the time or distance.

Another way to start the process could be fi nding a fun race/walk for a charity that you and your friend can sign up for together and plan a training schedule. Many cities have 5k race/walk events to raise money. Find a cause that is important to you and your friend and begin to train for the race. Most races are noncompeti-tive and offer a light and motivating environment with novice and expe-rienced participants racing together. This can be a great way to get your friend moving for a cause and direct-ing her focus beyond her personal fi t-ness status.

Use your personal experience to fi nd creative ways to encourage your friend to exercise and eat well. Re-member what factors played a role in your moving from being inac-tive to active, and incorporate those instances to help your friend. Share stories of your experiences and little tips to make her journey easier and realistic.

We would like for all of our fam-ily and friends to live a healthy and happy lifestyle. Just as you made a choice to make this a priority in your life, your friend will also have to per-sonally make this choice. Continue to live a positive lifestyle and be a great example to your friend until she is ready to make a change. In the mean-time, keep moving.

Always consult a physician before beginning an exercise program. An-drea Renee Wyatt, M.S.S., C.S.C.S., is a personal trainer with an extensive background in strength and condition-ing as well as therapeutic recreation. If you have a fi tness or training ques-tion, write to Andrea in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475

22 Reasons to Eat & Drink Dark Chocolate & Acai Daily

Here are the last 6 reasons to consume Xo-cai Healthy Chocolate:

17. PROTECTS THE BODY’S 75 TRIL-LION CELLS. According to research, the numerous phytochemicals in cocoa and acai berries may be able to normalize the health of endothelial cells thereby reduc-ing the risk of cardiovascular disease.3 And other studies show a potential ability of phy-tochemicals to inhibit carcinogenic activity of cells.4,5,6 Since most disease originates in the cells, it’s vital to protect them!

18. FIGHTS INFLAMMATION. The pow-erful polyphenols nutrients in Cocoa and acai berries are known to inhibit many dif-ferent infl ammatory mechanisms. Research shows that chronic infl ammation is likely the underlying problem linked to various conditions from heart disease and cancer to diabetes and dementia.7

19. SUPPORTS MENTAL FUNCTION. Numerous chronic diseases are associated with free radical damage (oxidation/oxida-tive stress) including the insidious neurode-generative conditions such as Alzheimer’s, dementia and Parkinson’s. Healthy cells die from lack of proper nutrition and cells mu-tate because of free radical damage. Many studies indicate that cocoa may help protect the brain and improve mental function.8

20. PROVIDES OMEGA-3 FATTY AC-IDS. Most Americans are sorely lacking in Omega-3s and increasing rates of chronic disease are likely a result of this defi ciency. Studies suggest these essential Omega-3 fat-ty acids may reduce infl ammation, improve brain function, promote immune function, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular dis-ease.

21. PROTECTS THE HEART. Many of the phytochemicals in cocoa and acai strength-

en blood vessel walls, support heart muscles and may inhibit atherosclerosis thus reduc-ing the risk of edema, stroke and heart fail-ure. These polyphenols can help clear the arteries. 9,10,11

22. BOOSTS YOUR SENSE OF WELL-BEING. Numerous chemicals in cocoa cre-ate a sense of happiness and well-being. Some research even suggests that consum-ing cocoa can increase dopamine and sero-tonin in the brain.

CROWD-OUTBAD FOOD

Whenever you choose to consume foods appro-priate for your Diet Cen-

ter program, you leave less room in your stomach for the “bad” foods that can hinder your weight loss progress! Foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains are loaded with nutrients, and fi ber that will help you feel full. The best part is you’ll get full with fewer calories

than the high fat or sugary foods not allowed on the program, so that you can progress with your weight loss!

By focusing on fi lling yourself up with healthy foods you should eat, you should fi nd it easier to leave out many “bad” foods. This is due to the fact that you’ll have less room in your stomach to be tempted by fatty foods and sweets.

Concentrating on consuming foods you should eat rather than what foods to avoid, can make it easier for you to stick to you weight loss program without you realizing it!

1. Peel, dice and boil potatoes.

2. Dice onion and sauté with 1 Tbs but-ter.3. Strain potatoes and mash.

4. Add remaining ingredients with sau-téed onions and whip.

Sweet potatoes are very healthy. They are high in beta-carotene, potassium, vi-tamin E, and fi ber. They also have very

little fat and a low glycemic index. Because of this they can help reduce heart disease, stroke, cancer, and the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

If you want to make these healthier try leaving out the butter and use olive oil in its place. If you want to try something a little different and a little less healthy try leaving out the cinna-mon and add some blue cheese crumbles and bacon bits.

Be creative, have fun and enjoy!!!

TASTING THE WINE

Here’s how the procedure goes. Take a medi-um-sized sip of wine. Hold it in your mouth, purse your lips, and draw in some air across

your tongue, over the wine. (Be utterly careful not to choke or dribble, or everyone will strongly suspect that you’re not a wine expert!) Then swish the wine around in your mouth as if you are chewing it. Then swallow it. The whole process should take several seconds, depending on how much you are concen-trating on the wine.

ADVICEDEAR PAW’S CORNER: I attended a dog show recently as a spectator. I’m interested in showing my dogs, but am only just investigating the process and learning all the ins and outs. I was amazed at how much incor-rect information about the rules was being given out by other spectators (and even owners who were showing). One woman was afraid to groom her dog shortly before their event because she’d been told that if the judges saw her grooming him, they would disqualify them!

Please remind your readers who enjoy or compete in dog shows to review the show’s rules be-forehand and to ignore (or at least confi rm) secondhand infor-mation! Just a pet peeve of mine. Thanks. -- Janine T., via e-mail

Paws Corner

DEAR JANINE: You told ‘em! While rules vary by show, it does no good for an already-nervous participant to listen to hearsay. There is genuinely good advice to be had from other participants, but always keep a copy of the rules at hand, too.

***

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My uncle says I should use a choke collar on my dog in order to train him right. What’s a choke collar? -- Brad in Ohio

DEAR BRAD: It’s something you shouldn’t use on your dog in order to train him right. Pick up a book like “Treats, Play, Love: Make Dog Training Fun for You and Your Best Friend” by Pa-tricia Gail Burnham, and learn about positive obedience training methods that don’t involve yank-ing your dog around or choking him just to get him to heel. You won’t regret it.

Boogar is a Quaker Par-rot. We are not sure if Boogar is a boy or

girl. Boogar is not trained but can be. We would ask that if you are interested in adopting Boogar that you make sure you have the proper size cage. He/She needs a larger cage and many toys to keep occu-pied with. Boogar is fond of viewing his/her refl ection in a mirror. Boogar came to us because he/she was pulling out feath-ers. Boogar no longer does this but on occasion might turn around and pull out tail feathers. They do grow back quickly. Boogar is not for anyone who lives in an apartment as this bird is very loud. Boogar also requires a diet of pellet food. This bird cannot have all seed. Seed as a treat is fi ne but good nutrition and a stable environment is what is imperative for Boogar’s good health and long life.

SAINT Animal Rescue also has two parakeets looking for a good home and some Dwarf Hamsters.

If you are interested in adopting Boog-ar into your home please call SAINT Animal Rescue located in Calhan..at

541-3099..but you might need to use the 719 area code.

It is always a challenge when adopting a new pet. SAINT Animal Rescue asks the adopter to give the animal a rea-sonable amount of time to adjust to it’s new family and environment. This is so very important to your new family member as well as your existing family members.

Please visit our website at saintanimal-rescue.org and as always thank you for caring

WITH WEALTH-TRANSFER

STRATEGIESProvided by Adam Grayson

of EdwardJones Investments

To retire comfortably, you need to save and invest regularly. For example, you need to contrib-

ute as much as you can afford to your 401(k) and IRA. But once you retire, you’ll need to “switch gears” somewhat and move from wealth-accumulation strategies to wealth-transfer strategies.

An effective wealth-transfer strategy can help you accomplish a variety of goals, such as distributing your assets the way you choose, avoiding probate and reducing estate taxes. And you can explore a variety of wealth-transfer tools, including the following:

• Gifting — You can give up to $12,000 per year to as many people as you’d like without incurring gift taxes. And if you want to help a child or grandchild pay for college through a Section 529 col-lege savings plan, you can “bunch” the $12,000 limit over fi ve years to make one $60,000 gift, or one $120,000 gift if it comes from you and your spouse. (If you group the contributions togeth-er this way, you won’t be able to make another $12,000 gift to that same child or grandchild forthe next fi ve years.)

• Will — A will is simply a plan for distributing your assets to family mem-bers and other benefi ciaries. If you were to die intestate (without a will), state laws would determine how your assets should be distributed — and there’s no guarantee that the end result would be what you would have chosen.

• Benefi ciary designations — Many of your fi nancial assets — including annuities, life insurance, IRAs and 401(k) plans — allow you to name a benefi ciary. Upon your death, your benefi ciary will automatically receive these assets, avoiding the sometimes

time-consuming, expensive (and pub-lic) process of probate. Because ben-efi ciary designations supersede any instructions you might put in a will or living trust, it’s essential that you pe-riodically review these designations to make sure they refl ect your current wishes.

• Trusts — Different trusts can help you accomplish a variety of wealth transfer and estate-planning goals. For example, a revocable living trust can help you leave assets to your heirs without going through probate. You can also structure the trust to stagger payments over a number of years, rath-er than all at once, or include other re-strictions or incentives. An irrevocable life insurance trust allows you to keep the death benefi t of your life insurance policy outside your estate, so the in-surance proceeds won’t increase your estate tax liability. And a charitable re-mainder trust allows you to transfer an appreciated asset — such as a stock or piece of real estate — to a charitable trust, thereby allowing you to defer or even avoid capital gains taxes on the sale of the asset. Plus, the trust can pro-vide you with a lifetime income stream while the remainder of the assets can be distributed to your favorite charities.

As you can see, trusts are versatile instruments — but they are also com-plex. Consequently, you’ll need to con-sult with your tax and legal advisors re-garding your particular situation.

In fact, all the wealth-transfer tech-niques we’ve looked at will require some careful thought and preparation on your part—so don’t wait too long before getting started. Time has a way of sneaking up on all of us — but it’s especially sneaky when we’re unpre-pared.

This article was written by Edward Jones on behalf of your Edward Jones fi nancial advisor. Edward Jones, its employees and fi nancial advisors do not provide tax or legal advice. You should consult with a qualifi ed tax or legal specialist for professional advice on your specifi c situation.

If one of your worries is whether you're investing at theright time, it shouldn't be. By investing a set amount ofmoney regularly, you establish a simple routine that canhelp make your financial goals a reality.

In addition, investing regularly can:� Make it possible to use market fluctuations

to your advantage � Add potential growth and diversification

to your portfolio� Keep your long-term financial goals in focus

Investing a set amount of money on a regular basis does not ensure a profit and does not protectagainst loss in declining markets. Such a plan involves continual investment in securitiesregardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities. You should consider your financialability to continue the purchases through periods of low price levels.

DOLLARS AND SENSEBY David Uffi ngton

BEWARE OF INFLATED REAL ESTATE APPRAISALS

If you’re trying to refi nance your home, once you’ve fi nished jumping for joy over a high appraisal, sit back and consider the consequences of taking out

a mortgage for the full amount. The same can be said for homebuyers making an offer: When the appraisal is much higher than you expected, you need to beware.

The dilemma starts with appraisers who are often pushed to infl ate the value of homes by lenders who make more money on a higher loan. The pressure on an appraiser can be immense, especially with fewer sales to go around. Add in a cash incentive to cooperate, and you have infl ated appraisals. The majority of appraisers are scrupulously honest, but many of them have been run out of business for refusing to infl ate values.

The problems with infl ated appraisals come into play should you ever want to sell or refi nance. Just when you need to pull out cash in a refi nance, or to refi nance just ahead of a jump in your adjustable-rate mortgage, you

could discover that there isn’t any equity because you owe more than the home is really worth. Or if you try to sell, you could end up selling for much less than you owe. Worse case, you could lose your home to foreclo-sure.

If you run into a problem down the road because of an infl ated appraisal, don’t look for much help from the authorities. Because of federal regulations, some states have mechanisms in place to go after appraisers who routinely infl ate the value of homes, but for the most part you’ll get no satisfaction and no money back.

Things to watch for:

• If the lender promises a high appraisal, beware. • If the appraiser works for the lender, double beware. • If you’re told you’re in luck, that the appraiser has a break in his schedule and can be at your house in an hour, decline that appointment. Before the appraiser ar-rives at your house, do an online search for both the appraiser and the appraiser’s company. Look for any warnings or complaints.

Check online sources to try to determine the real value of your home or the one you hope to buy. Realtor.com is one of the best, but also check the sites of agents in your area.

© February, 2005, Lisa Welch Stevens, Esq.,

In a previous article I discussed the value of a busi-ness’ intangible assets. One such asset can be the business’ name. But such value and the protection

afforded it under state law can vary widely, depending upon the business’ legal form and how and where the name is registered or recorded.

Colorado does not have a uniform system for the fi ling and recording of business names. If a business is owned through any of the limited liability entities (corpora-tions, LLCs, etc.), its entity name (and its “trade name”, if any) is recorded with the Secretary of State. If a busi-ness is a sole proprietorship or general partnership, and it operates under a name other than the owner(s) per-sonal name(s), that trade name is registered with the De-partment of Revenue.

Limited liability entities’ names and trade names, as re-corded with the Secretary of State, are accorded some exclusivity: they must be distinguishable on the record from those of other limited liability entities. Sole pro-prietorships’ and general partnerships’ Registrations

THE LAWACCORDINGTO STEVENS

by Lisa Welch Stevens,Attorney at Law P.C.

WHAT’S IN A NAME?:PERHAPS NOT AS MUCH

AS YOU THINK

of Trade Name with the Department of Revenue are accorded no exclusivity at all: anyone can fi le to use the same trade name as another. Because the databases of the Secretary of State and the Depart-ment of Revenue are separate, an entity fi ling a Statement of Trade Name with the Secretary of State is not put on notice of similar or identical Registrations of Trade Name with the Department of Revenue, and vice-versa.

After May 30, 2006, the Department of Revenue will no longer register trade names; all such registrations shall be with the Secretary of State. Businesses will know if others are using the same name as they. However the Secretary of State’s of-fi ce will no longer require that trade names be distinguishable on the record from oth-er trade names and entity names; form-ing your business under a particular en-tity name, or registering a particular trade name, will result in no exclusive rights to that name at all.

A business can seek to protect its good name from usurpation by competitors, and to increase its value as an intangible asset, by turning to trademark law. However, for this to be effective action must be taken before another has the opportunity to start using the name. Consult your legal advisor regarding the specifi cs of your situation.

• On Sept. 23, 1875, 15-year-old Billy the Kid (born Wil-liam Henry McCarty) is ar-rested for the fi rst time for hiding a bag of stolen laundry as a joke. When Billy was lit-erally caught holding the bag, a Silver City, N.M., policeman threw him in jail to teach him a lesson.

• On Sept. 22, 1914, in the North Sea, a German U-9 submarine sinks three British cruisers, killing 1,400 British sailors. More sophisticated than submarines built by other nations, the typical German U-boat was 214 feet long and could travel underwater for two hours at a time.

• On Sept. 27, 1935, 13-year-old singer and actress Judy Garland (born Frances Gumm) signs her fi rst contract with MGM. Garland and her sisters toured the vaudeville circuit as “The Gumm Sisters’ Kiddy Act.” The sisters later took the stage name Garland, and Fran-ces changed her name to Judy when she was 10.

• On Sept. 25, 1965, the Kansas

City Athletics start 59-year-old Satchel Paige in a game against the Boston Red Sox. Paige gave up only one hit in his three in-nings of play. “Satchel” got his nickname as a boy while work-ing as a luggage carrier at the Mobile, Ala., train station.

• On Sept. 28, 1978, Car & Driver magazine editor Don Sherman sets a Class E speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, reaching 183.9 mph driving a Mazda RX7. The RX7’s unique rotary en-gine didn’t have the standard pistons; instead, two rounded “rotors” spun to turn the fl y-wheel.

• On Sept. 24, 1989, Broadway theaters dim their lights in hon-or of composer Irving Berlin. Berlin had died two days ear-lier at the age of 101. He wrote 1,500 songs, including “Puttin’ on the Ritz” and “God Bless America.”

• On Sept. 26, 1996, astro-naut Shannon Lucid returns to Earth in the U.S. space shuttle Atlantis following six months in orbit aboard the Russian space station Mir. Her 188-day sojourn aboard Mir set a new space endurance record for an American and a world endur-ance record for a woman.

“Babylon A.D.” director Mathieu Kassovitz has been squawking to any journalist who’ll listen that his fi lm isn’t worth seeing. He hates it. And the reason is because he claims 20th Century Fox chopped 17 minutes of footage from the fi nal cut.

I can understand why Kassovitz is ticked off. Those 17 minutes must’ve been AWESOME, cuz the 90 minutes I got to see sucked.

The fi lm stars Vin Diesel as a merce-nary named Toorop, who is hired by a Russian mobster (Gerard Depardieu sporting the most unnecessary nose extension ever) to transport a young woman named Aurora (Melanie Thi-erry) from a Russian nunnery to New York City. Accompanying Aurora is

Sister Rebeka (martial-arts superstar Michelle Yeoh).

Apparently Aurora is some kind of genetically engineered Virgin Mary created by some gene-splicing corpo-ration for a corrupt religious corpo-ration that wants to use Aurora as a “miracle” in order to gain more con-verts.

Which is a stupid plot device. Think about it. If you already live in a future where genetic engineering is com-monplace, why would you believe in a miraculous virgin birth? Wouldn’t you just go, “Huh. Sounds like an-other chick got a baby implant.”

“Babylon A.D.” is basically a shoot ‘em up, shaky-cammed road movie set in a dystopian future with a met-ric load of mysticism mumbo jumbo thrown in to muddle an already cli-ched plot.

I mean, seriously, haven’t we already seen this done before? A lot? If you’ve already seen “Children of Men,” “The Fifth Element” and “Blade Runner,” then you don’t need to waste your time with this ridiculous retread.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The chang-ing season brings new experiences as well as challenges for the ever-adventurous Ar-ies. Your social life expands, as do the op-portunities at your workplace.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That re-cent period of uncertainty has passed. You can now feel more confi dent about making decisions, especially those that relate to an important personal relationship.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although you might be faced with a number of tasks on your to-do list, try to take time out to enjoy the arts. Music, especially, can be soothing to the sensitive soul of a Gemini.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A disagree-ment with a colleague or friend is best resolved with open and frank discussion. Trying to force the other party to see things your way is bound to backfi re.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) That Leonine pride might be ruffl ed by a colleague’s challenge to one of your pet ideas. But stop growling and listen. You could learn some-thing that will work to your advantage.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Someone in authority might decide to se-lect you as a candidate for a project that carries more responsibilities. Be prepared to show why you’re the right choice for the job.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) That new workplace problem should be dealt with as soon as possible. Leaving it unresolved for too long could lead to an even more unsettling and time-consuming situation.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) You might have to do some fancy juggling to keep both your work responsibilities and personal obligations on track. But ultimate-ly, you’ll work it all out, as you always do.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to De-cember 21) You might hear some upsetting things about a situation in your life. But don’t be swayed by talk. Demand proof be-fore making any decisions on the matter.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Don’t risk depleting those precious en-ergy levels by taking on more tasks than you can realistically handle. Also, remem-ber to ask for help when you need it.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) It might be diffi cult for the Aquarian who is used to giving advice to take counsel when offered. But it’s a good idea to lis-ten to what trusted friends feel you should know.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Things might be a little unsettled as you move through a period of reassessment. But once you get your priorities sorted out, you should be ready to tackle an important decision.

BORN THIS WEEK: You’re able to achieve a happy balance in your produc-tive life by never feeling overwhelmed or underappreciated.

GREENSCAPING AND

WATER SAVINGSaving Water with Xeriscape -- A philosophy of conservation of water through creative landscaping.

The term Xeriscape is derived from the Greek word Xeros meaning “dry”, combined

with the word “landscape”. The term was coined by the Front Range Xeriscape Task Force of the Denver Water Department in 1981.

While Xeriscaping is mostly associ-ated with the arid landscapes of the Southwestern U.S., its can actually have a green and lush feel if you’d prefer. The main concepts are ap-plicable to all gardens and land-scapes.

A xeriscape creates a visually at-tractive landscape that uses plants selected for their water effi ciency. Properly maintained, a xeriscape uses less than one-half the water of a traditional landscape.

All across America, communities are faced with increased demands on existing water supplies. There is a great focus on water conserva-tion, not just in times of drought, but in anticipation of future popula-tion growth. Water can no longer be considered a limitless resource.

The basic fundamental concepts and principles of Xeriscape land-scaping are:

• Group plants according to their water needs.• Use native and low-water-use plants.• Limit turf areas to those needed for practical uses.• Use effi cient irrigation systems and schedule them wisely.• Make sure soil is healthy, and mulch.• Conservation of natural resourc-es and preservation of habitat for plants and wildlife.

• Decreased energy use because less pumping and treatment of water is re-quired.• Reduced home or offi ce heating and cooling costs through the careful place-ment of trees and plants.• Reduced runoff of storm

water and irrigation water that car-ries top soils, fertilizers, and pesti-cides into lakes, rivers and streams.• Fewer yard trimmings.• Reduced landscaping labor and maintenance costs.• Extended life for water resources infrastructure thus reduced taxpayer costs.• In short, plan and maintain your landscape with these principles of water effi ciency in mind and it will continue to conserve water, as well as be attractive

Proper landscaping techniques not only create beautiful landscapes, but also benefi t the environment and save water. In addition, attractive, water-effi cient, low-maintenance landscapes can increase home val-ues!

CONVERT TO DRIPIRRIGATION SYSTEMS

Drip irrigation systems (micro-ir-rigation systems) deliver water di-rectly to your plants with minimal waste. According to Colorado State University, drip irrigation systems are around 90 percent effi cient, whereas traditional sprinkle sys-tems are only around 50-60 percent effi cient.

WATER CONSERVATION

Less lawn means less mowing, and less mowing means reduced use of a power source. Less lawn space can also promote water conserva-tion. Lawns require more watering than planting beds. And speaking of irrigation, it is a common mis-conception that automatic irrigation systems are wasteful. On the con-trary: if used properly, automatic ir-rigation systems can promote water conservation.

ENERGYCONSERVATIONWITH PLANTS

A few strategically planted trees can help to cool off a building and reduce the amount of energy allo-cated to air conditioning.
