“Next to jazz music, there is nothing that lifts the spirit and strengthens the soul more than a good bowl of chili.” -Harry James, musician and band leader (1916-1983)

Halloween: step aside. October is also National Chili Month. As the aspens turn to gold and snow drifts in and

out of Colorado, October is a perfect time to recognize one of America’s hottest (no pun intended) dishes.

TEXAS HEATTexans have for centuries claimed fame as the origi-nators of chili con carne. Others argue that chili origi-nated in Mexico, but Charles Ramsdell, a writer from San Antonio, Texas, wrote the following in his ar-ticle, San Antonio: A Historical and Pictorial Guide. “Chili, as we know it in the U.S. cannot be found in Mexico today, except in a few spots which cater to tourists. If chili had come from Mexico, it would still be there. For Mexicans … do not change their culi-nary customs from one generation, or even from one century, to another.”

In 1926, another writer from San Antonio, J.C. Clop-per, wrote that Mexicans defi ned chili in the Diccio-nario de Mejicanismos, published in 1959, as “de-testable food passing itself off as Mexican, sold in the U.S. from Texas to New York.”

No matter, most agree that San Antonio, Texas, is re-sponsible for spreading Texas-style chili throughout the South and West and then some. In 1893, the San Antonio Chili Stand at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago introduced people worldwide to chili con carne.

If there is still doubt about Texans and chili, here’s

SNIPPETZ SIZZLES DURINGNATIONAL CHILI MONTH

SNIPPETZ GIVES A SALUTE TO FLAGS

what some famous and infamous chili lovers said about the lone state in relation to chili.

• “Chili concocted outside of Texas is usually a weak, apologetic imitation of the real thing. One of the fi rst things I do when I get home to Texas is to have a bowl of red. There is simply nothing better.” - Lyndon B. Johnson, 36th president of the United States

• Will Rogers (1879-1935), cattleman, banker and journalist, called chili a” bowl of blessedness.” It is said that Will Rogers judged a town by the quality of its chili and sampled it in hundreds of towns. He concluded that the best chili was from a small cafe in Coleman, Texas.

• Jesse James (1847-1882), outlaw of the old Ameri-can West, refused to rob a bank in McKinney, Texas, because it was home to his favorite chili parlor.

THE EARLY RECIPEChili con carne (Spanish for meat) is all about meat – and – leave out the beans please.

Beef or venison and chili peppers were the main in-gredients in original Texas-style chili. Suet (beef fat) was used to add fl avor, and the type of peppers (from the mild bell to the hot habanera) used depended on the desired degree of spice and “heat.” Besides beans, Texas chili did not include vegetables of any kind or tomatoes. Chili powder, a blend of ground peppers and spices, was often used in place of the chili pep-pers.

When chili gained popularity in the eastern parts of the U.S., beans were added as fi ller because meat was more expensive and not quite as plentiful in those ar-eas.

Many chili purists still insist on banning the beans and tomatoes at various chili cook-offs around the country.

Others banish the meat. Vegetarian or not, many health-conscious chili fans are now opting for the beans-only version. Chili contests often include veg-etarian chili as a category.

CAN ITOf course, canned chili is an alternative for the don’t-

feel-like-cooking crowd.

Some say that canned chili was fi rst produced in 1908 by Willie Gebhardt of San Antonio. However, Wil-liam Gerald Tobin, a Texas Ranger and hotel owner, fi rst coined the idea of canned chili in 1881. Tobin contracted with the federal government and sold canned chili con carne to the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy. The carne that Tobin used in his recipes was goat. Eventually, he opened a chili con carne process-ing plant and canning operation. He died before his venture took off.

RED OR GREEN?

While Texas boasts the original chili recipes, New Mexico is the capital of chili growing. The largest agricultural crop in New Mexico is the chili, and the state grows more chili peppers than any other in the U.S.

Chili is a New Mexico household staple. It is often said that the mantra of the people of New Mexico is “red or green?”

In 1888, Fabian Garcia worked as a horticulturist at the New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechan-ic Arts. He experimented with developing varieties of the chili. In the early 1900s, he released the “New Mexico 9” – nine different pod sizes and heat levels.

Today, New Mexico State’s College of Agriculture and Home Economics helps New Mexico’s farmers develop new and improved varieties of the chili. New Mexico State University also is the headquarters of the Chili Pepper Institute. And every year, more than 300 chili growers from all over the U.S. attend the New Mexico Chile Conference in Las Cruces.

The chili cash crop is worth about $60 million at har-vest to New Mexico; after it’s processed, the value increases to more than $240 million. About 95 per-cent of the crop is harvested from seven southern and eastern New Mexico counties.

CHILI FACTS

Contrary to popular belief, the Spanish did not in-troduce the chili pepper to the U.S. The Inca, Maya and Aztec Indians used chili peppers to spice up their dishes, temper their medical ailments, trade goods and bring them closer to the gods.

THE ALL

NEW...

Chili peppers are related to tomatoes, potatoes and eggplants and have nothing to do with black pepper. Christopher Columbus, believing he had arrived in the Spice Islands of the East Indies, called the chili “pepper,” thinking it was black pepper

The red chili is a ripened, dried green chili and has a sweeter fl avor. Red chili “bouquets” are often used as a hanging plant décor in homes and restaurants.

• Green chili is not the same as chili verde – the latter includes pork.

• The heat of a chili pepper comes from a substance called capsaicin, found in the membranes surround-ing the seeds of the pepper and extending down the pod. The heat can be reduced somewhat by removing the membranes, along with the seeds.

• Chili is a fruit and is rich in nutritional value. One medium green chili has as much vitamin C as six or-anges.

• Teas and lozenges are made from chili peppers to soothe sore throats.

• Birds were responsible for spreading chili seeds throughout South and Central America. Birds do not taste the “heat.”

• Eating chili peppers burns calories. The chili pep-per speeds the body’s metabolic rate, which enhances the burning of calories. Reason enough to belly up to a bowl.

THE HOTTESTThe Dorset Naga is the world’s hottest chili pep-per. Joy and Michael Michaud grew the pepper out of their market in Great Britain and spent four years developing it. They had to wear gloves to remove the seeds outdoors as they prepared them for drying.

The hottest chili pepper in the Guiness Book of Re-cords is a Red Savina habanera, measured at 570,000 Scolville heat units. (Wilburn Scoville developed the scale in 1912.)

In 2005, the Michauds sent the Dorset Naga to two New York laboratories, and they measured the pepper at 900,000 Scolville units. In 2008, the BBC’s “Gar-

deners World” recorded that the Dorset Naga measured 1.6 million SHUs at the University of Warwick in the UK.

In comparison, the Jalapeno chili is measured at 10,000 SHUs. The Ha-banera chili ranges in levels between 100,000 and 400,000.

Some say just dust the chili ingredients with the Dorset Naga and the heat is on.

CHILI COOK-OFFS ABOUND

The International Chili Society sanc-tions more than 300 cook-offs each year throughout the world. And that’s just the number of chili championships that are members of the ICS.

The 2009 World’s Championship Chili Cook-off is scheduled Oct. 9-11 in Charleston, West Virginia. Hundreds of cooks throughout the world will gather for the three-day event.

Georgia Weller from Michigan won $25,000 with the 2008 world champion chili recipe.

Every state in the union, including Ha-waii and Alaska, has some sort of chili cook-off (or two or 20) a year – and almost every country.

The Chili Appreciation Society In-ternational promotes chili cook-offs throughout the world to raise money for charity. They participate in more than 500 chili cook-offs each year and raise over $1 million for local charities.

The Denver District Chili Cook-off is Oct. 4; the winner advances to the 2010 world championship cook-off.

NATIONAL CHILI MONTHHere are a few ideas to celebrate Na-tional Chili Month:

• Attend a chili cook-off or participate in one.

• Host your own chili cook-off party, where everyone brings a pot of chili.

• Or host a party and have each guest bring an ingredient appropriate for a big batch of chili, and cook it up dur-ing the Broncos game.

• Have a chili cook-off at the offi ce.

• Create a new family recipe – have each member of the family think of an ingredient to add to the chili. The list could be endless and interesting.

• Host a chili pepper eating contest (make sure to have guests sign a waiv-er).

• Dress up like a chili pepper for Hal-loween.

• It was actor, senator and erstwhile presidential candidate Fred Thompson who made the following observation: “After two years in Washington, I of-ten long for the realism and sincerity of Hollywood.” • With an area of less than 1,000 square miles, the tiny Western Euro-pean nation of Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in the world, and it is the world’s only remaining sovereign Grand Duchy. Considering the country’s longstanding adherence to tradition, it is perhaps unsurprising that the national motto is “We want to remain what we are.”

• When you recycle an aluminum can, it’s possible for that can to be pro-cessed, reused and back on the shelf within 60 days.

• The skateboard was invented in Cali-fornia in the 1950s by surfers who wanted to continue their favorite ac-tivity even when they weren’t in the water.

• The decadence of France under Na-poleon’s rule is legendary, and the lux-ury wasn’t reserved solely for people. It was not uncommon for pet dogs of the wealthy nobility to have their fur waxed and styled with hot rollers in imitation of Princess Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III.

• Statistics show that more babies are born during the waning moon than during the waxing moon.

• Those who study such things say that the average offi ce desk carries 400 times more bacteria than a toilet.

• When creating its cocoon, the silk-worm spins a continuous thread more than a thousand yards long, or 12,000 times the length of its own body. To ac-complish a comparable feat, a 6-foot-tall man would have to spin a thread that stretched unbroken for 15 miles.

• You may be surprised to learn that the onion is actually a lily, botanically speaking.

As you shop for fl ooring for your home, it’s important to consider the climate where

you live. Factors such as temperature and humidity play a key role in overall fl oor performance. While laminate, hardwood and bamboo can acclimate (adjust) naturally to their surroundings, they’re not recommended for certain environments. It’s important that you choose fl ooring that suits not only your furnishings but also the natural climate conditions of your living space.

Climate conditions vary from home to home. Even two homes on the same street could have dramatic differences when it comes to indoor climate. For example, one home sitting on constantly wet soil (due to runoff) could have a higher indoor humidity level than a home just a few doors down that’s built on dry soil. Also, the level in your home where your new fl ooring will be located (“above grade,” “on grade,” or “below grade” – grade = ground level) should also be taken into consideration. The fl oor level plays a signifi cant role in terms of indoor heat, cold and humidity.

No matter where you make your home, you can have climate–friendly fl ooring that is long–lasting and beautiful. Select a climate–friendly fl oor and you’ll worry less about it buckling, swelling or cracking due to extreme conditions. Not only can these defects make your fl oor unattractive, they can lead to mold growth and structural damage that can be very expensive to repair.

When you’re searching for climate–friendly fl ooring, the main factor to keep in mind is humidity. Extremes changes in humidity can cause fl oor planks to shrink or swell, possibly resulting in serious fl oor damage.

It’s important to understand the difference between below grade, on grade and above grade, and the effects

of these levels on certain fl oor types. Below grade means below ground level, on grade means at ground level, and above grade means above ground level.

Typically, indoor humidity levels tend to be higher in rooms built below grade. For this reason, many cork, bamboo and hardwood types (and other fl oors highly susceptible to moisture damage) are not generally recommended for basement installation. No matter what kind of fl oor you decide to purchase, the grade your fl ooring will be on should always be considered.

Some fl oor types such as cork, hardwood, bamboo and vinyl have a tendency to change color when exposed to direct sunlight. To make sure all fl oor areas stay even in tone and color, regularly rearrange your furniture. Alternatively, you may want to consider putting up solar screens or hanging drapes to help block out the sun’s harmful rays. Sunlight can also make concrete fl ooring dry too quickly during installation, which will affect its strength and its ability to resist cracking.

Choosing fl ooring that’s appropriate for your environment and caring for it properly can result in fl oors that last longer and stay beautiful for years. Begin by jotting down how each of the above factors relate to the area where you will be installing your new fl oor. Next, refer to our Climate–Friendly Flooring Types list of the most common fl oor types and determine which fl ooring best suits your particular climate.

DOG-SHOWRULES

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read an article by a local writer about a dog show that was held here recent-ly. The writer seemed uncertain of the rules for this type of event and left some information out. I thought that you might like to get this infor-mation on dog shows out to all of your readers as well.

All dog shows are managed by a show superintendent, who is pres-ent for the duration of the show and will answer any question regarding the appropriate rules and regula-tions. Further, all American Kennel Club-sponsored shows (conforma-tion and obedience) will have free copies of the booklet Dog Show Rules at the superintendent’s desk within the show location. A copy of

Paws Corner

the same can be ordered from the American Kennel Club’s Web site (www.akc.org).I’m not an AKC employee, but I’ve been showing dogs for quite some time and, as such, questions have arisen that needed answering then and there ... hence I learned of the availability of this booklet. Rules change from time to time, so the booklet can be a handy item to have on hand. -- Jacki S., Grosse Pointe Shores, Mich.

DEAR JACKI: Many thanks, and I’m sure my readers will benefi t from your information. The Ameri-can Kennel Club is an important source of information about dog se-lection and care, show rules, breed-ing and many other topics. I strong-ly encourage dog owners -- whether they are interested in participating in dog shows or just improving their knowledge of care and training -- to visit the Web site above.

Send your tips, questions and comments to Paw’s Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or e-mail them to [email protected].

SENIORNEWS LINE

TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT ADULT-ED

CLASSES

The local adult-education de-partment’s course offerings for the winter quarter arrived

in the mail last week, and for once I took a look at it. I was surprised at the variety of classes: quilting for begin-ners, starting a craft business, hunt-ing safety, computers for seniors, art of the Middle Ages, school bus driver training, conversational Italian, over-view of the world’s religions, fi rst aid and CPR, and dozens more. Includ-ed on the list was a beginning piano course.

Which made me think: Do I qualify as a beginner? I took piano lessons for one year a very long time ago. Have the years erased everything (which admittedly wasn’t much) that I ever learned? If I sign up, would I hold the class back if I couldn’t keep up?

Which begs the even bigger question: Can we seniors learn new skills at this stage in our lives? If so, what do we need to make sure it can happen?

Part of the answer lies in how well we apply ourselves to keeping our brains and our bodies active on a daily basis. If we’re constantly on the lookout for new mental challenges, we’re more equipped to continue learning new skills.

Having something new and exciting to do sparks brain cells, too. If we’ve settled into a routine of watching a lot of television and going out to the same restaurant once a week (and ordering the same thing each time), our brains might not be as capable (at least initially) of learning something new.

Diet has to play a part in our ability to learn new things, I’m sure. The brain needs proper fuel to be able to remember, reason, focus and come to conclusions.

If you’re ready for a mental challenge, it could be as close as your local adult education department.

SNIPPETZ® DINING GUIDE

ACANADIAN

THANKSGIVING

When I was a little girl, my family lived in Canada for several years. Canada is a

bit of a melting pot, and some customs have been adopted from other coun-tries. Thanksgiving Day has been cel-ebrated as a holiday in Canada on the second Monday of October since 1957. It’s similar to the American holiday in many ways -- a celebration of faith, family, food and football.

Thanksgiving Day in Canada also is linked to the tradition of harvest fes-tivals that date back to early native peoples, as well as some European traditions. The Canadian Thanksgiv-ing holiday is a three-day celebration starting on the weekend and ending on Monday. It’s a time when families gather together at church and at home to give thanks to God for their bless-ings.

The harvest festival cornucopia, or horn of plenty, overfl owing with a bounty of seasonal fruits and vegeta-bles including corn and pumpkins also is a traditional symbol in Canada. The Canadian Football League games are a highlight of the holiday. It’s also a time for a big family dinner featuring a tur-key and an abundance of side dishes, and of course, desserts. This pumpkin pie recipe is an adaptation of a popu-lar Canadian version of the traditional holiday dessert.

CANADIAN PUMPKIN PIEFor the best pumpkin pies, don’t use the fi eld or “Jack-o’-lantern” pump-kins, because the fl esh makes a stringy pie fi lling. The smaller varieties known as sugar pumpkins with the dark-or-ange fl esh are the best choice for baked goods. You can place the sugar pump-kin on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake it whole at 375 F until the fl esh is soft, about an hour.

After the pumpkin has cooled, cut it open and scrape out the seeds and the cooked pulp. You can save the seeds

and use them in other recipes. Mash up the pulp to use in baked goods. A three- to four -pound pumpkin should yield about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups of pumpkin puree. You can use the homemade pumpkin puree immediately or place it in an airtight container and freeze it for up to six months. When buying commercially processed pumpkin, use frozen or canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin-pie fi lling, for the best re-sults.

1 prepared (9-inch) single crust pastry1/4 cup apricot or orange preserves1/2 cup brown sugar, packed1/2 cup granulated sugar1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg1/2 teaspoon ground cloves1/2 teaspoon salt2 1/2 cups pumpkin puree5 eggs, at room temperature1 1/4 cups whole milk1/2 cup whipping cream1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Place the pas-try into a 9-inch pie pan and press it down along the bottom and all sides of the pan. Crimp the edges of the pie crust together. Put the pie crust back into the freezer for 1 hour to fi rm up.

2. Place a piece of aluminum foil in-side the pie shell, pressing down on the foil and covering the shell complete-ly. Fill the shell up to the edges with pie weights or dried beans (about 2 pounds) and place it in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, remove the foil and pie weights, and bake until the crust is pale brown, about 10 minutes more. Re-move crust from oven and cool. Spread the preserves over the pie crust.

3. Reduce oven temperature to 325 F and prepare pie fi lling. Using a large bowl, combine the brown and white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and salt, and mix them together thoroughly. Mix in the pumpkin puree until ingredi-ents are well-combined. Add the eggs, whisking the mixture together lightly. Add in the milk, whipping cream and vanilla, mixing until well-blended.

4. Pour the fi lling into the prepared crust. Bake until the fi lling puffs at the edges and the center is almost set and no longer liquid except for a quarter-size place in the center, about 55 min-utes. Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool and set on a rack. Cover and store pie in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Makes one 9-inch pie (8 to 10 servings).

NOBLE NEBBIOLO

The Nebbiolo [NEH-bee-oh-low] grape, from Italy’s Piedmont region (Barolo), is high in both tannin and acid, which can make a wine

tough. Fortunately, it also gives enough alcohol to soften the package. Its color can be deep when the wine is young, but can develop orangey tinges within a few years. Its aroma is fruity (strawberry and jam), earthy and woodsy (tar, truffl es), and herbal (mint, eucalyptus). Perfect with roasted meats and mush-room risotto.

ASIAN STYLE PORK RIBS

1 ea Rack of Pork Ribs1 qt Water2 Tbs Liquid Smoke2 tsp Kosher Salt1 tsp Garlic Powder1 tsp Onion Powder 1 tsp Ground Ginger2 tsp Chinese 5 Spice2 Tbs Brown Sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.

2. Place ribs, water and liquid smoke in a baking pan.

3. Mix dry spices together and rub onto the top of ribs.

4. Cover with foil and bake for 2 hours.

5. Remove foil and bake an additional 20 min-utes.

These ribs can be served as an appetizer or as part of a meal. You can serve them with different sauces for dipping such as a chili

sauce, plum sauce or a sweet and sour sauce. You can also put out a small dish of the Chinese 5 spice to sprinkle over the top.

To turn these into bar-b-q ribs leave out the ginger and 5 spice and add some black pepper. In place of the last 20 minutes in the oven throw some bar-b-q sauce on top and then throw them on to the bar-b-q.

If the ribs seem to still be a little tough, try baking them a little longer making sure there is enough water in the pan. The quality of the ribs controls the toughness. The better the quality, the more ten-der the ribs.

Be creative, have fun and enjoy!!!

SNIPPETZ® HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Question: I keep hearing great things about these antioxidant super fruit juices, and I even have a few friends that decided to become distributors. Am I missing out on something? Should I be adding these juices to my daily regimen?

Answer: These products are defi nitely popular these days, but here’s the scoop. Most of these products are exotic fruit juices marketed as super antioxidants, which supposedly have benefi cial effects on the body. Unfortunately, many of these claims come from distributors or the elaborate marketing materials developed by the companies themselves. Research is often touted, too, but most of the studies that are referenced have been done on a specifi c fruit or an extract of that fruit, not the actual juice being sold to you. Plus, many of the manufacturers add other juice concentrates as well, so you have no idea how much of the supposed active ingredients are actually in the fi nal product. This is pretty standard, though there may be a few exceptions. The other issue with these juices is the cost. Many of them sell for $20-$35 per bottle, with a typical serving being only a few ounces per day. The high cost is usually attributed to highly paid consultants and the distribution network itself, since everyone involved gets a piece of the monetary pie. The bottom line is these juices don’t appear to be harmful, but are they actually making you any healthier? That question is hard to answer. Before making a purchase, it would be wise to gather all the facts you can and ask a registered dietitian if you have any questions about a specifi c product.

Question: Is it better to do cardio fi rst and then lift, or the other way around?

Answer: The fact of the matter is different people do different things. Some might say that you should do cardio fi rst because it’s a nice way to warm up your muscles before a weight training session. Others would argue that doing this will cause too much fatigue, which might lower your workout intensity and make lifting with proper form more diffi cult. There really isn’t a right or wrong answer. The best advice is to pay attention to your goals. If you’re focused a bit more on the endurance side of the equation, try to do your cardio fi rst, when you’ll have the most energy. If your goal is to pack on some muscle mass, hit the weights fi rst, before getting some heart-healthy cardio into your workout. And if you’re really looking to push yourself in a particular area of fi tness, make sure to

break up your cardio and lifting sessions, so you feel energized during each and every workout. I’ve said it many times before, the most effective way to get a workout that meets your individual goals is to enlist the aid of a Certifi ed Personal Trainer.

Question: I’m having a hard time with nighttime eating. Any tips, hints, or other advice to help me curb this seemingly routine habit?

Answer: The fi rst thing you need to do is determine whether you’re actually hungry or not. Appetite and hunger are very different concepts, and it’s important to differentiate between the two. Appetite is the psychological need for food, and it’s infl uenced by your senses, your emotions, and your environment. Hunger is the physiological need for food, meaning your body desires food to function normally. To simplify things even further, appetite deals with the sight or smell of food and your desire for it. Hunger deals with those pangs and growls you get in your stomach when you actually need food. Generally speaking, you should try to eat when you’re hungry. Take this example…after having a big meal for dinner, you might want some dessert, but are you actually hungry for it? You may just want it because it looks good or smells good, or because eating dessert is what you typically do after dinner. Essentially, your eyes are playing tricks on you. If you think you might be hungry in the evening, try drinking a glass of water and then waiting ten to fi fteen minutes. If you’re still hungry at that point, try to fi gure out why. Did you have a big lunch and a small dinner, and now hunger is catching up with you? Or did you skip dinner altogether? You’ll often fi nd a logical reason for being hungry, and if this is the case, be sure to remedy that situation the next time around. In the meantime, fi nd something light to snack on in the evening. Some popcorn, a piece of fruit, yogurt, or even some string cheese would work just fi ne.

“Drag Me to Hell” -- “Drag Me to Hell” is the most fun you’ll have be-ing scared -- ever. Director Sam Raimi does a masterful job of mixing com-edy, horror and suspense, and the result is one of the most entertaining movies of the year.

Alison Lohman stars as the Ǘber-cute Christine Brown, a loan offi cer at a bank who makes the mistake of re-fusing a loan extension on an elderly gypsy woman’s mortgage. Bad move, Cupcake. Gypsy Woman also is bat-guano crazy, and she puts a curse on the girl. Christine now has three days of torment before a demon drags her to hell. She tries everything from séances to animal sacrifi ce, but the torments keep coming with increasing intensity. Can she escape the gypsy curse? Watch and fi nd out. You won’t regret it.

“The Mighty Boosh Special Edition DVD (Seasons 1-3)” -- Viewers of Adult Swim are fi nally getting a taste of what British television audiences have been raving about for years. “The

Mighty Boosh” is the trippiest, most surreal comedy show you’ll ever infl ict upon your brain.

The show revolves around the bizarre exploits of small-eyed, jazz afi ciona-do Howard Moon and his space-age glam hipster buddy Vince Noir. Joined by their friends Bolo the Gorilla and Naboo the Shaman, the gang take a three-season journey through Time and Space -- that is if by “Time” we mean “The Zoo” and “Space” meaning “A Tiny Curio Shop in Dalston.”

The boxed set includes seven discs that contain all three seasons of the show (with extras and audio commentary), plus a bonus disc containing more than 2 1/2 hours of never-before-seen

footage, including a collection of the Boosh’s crimps -- a kind of free-form, nursery-rhymy synchronized rap that must be experienced by every organic being on the planet.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A chang-ing situation calls for a change in plans. Although you might prefer the schedule you had already worked up, you could do better by agreeing to make the needed ad-justments.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That once seemingly rock-solid proposition you fa-vored might be hiding some serious fl aws. Take time to check it more carefully and question anything that seems out of kilter.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Finish up those lingering tasks so that you can then arrange to spend some time in quiet refl ec-tion. This will go a long way in restoring both your physical and spiritual energies.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A family situation could heat up and boil over unless you deal with it as soon as possible. Try to persuade other family members to work with you to help cool things down.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Cheer up, Kitty Cat! That low feeling will begin to ebb by midweek, and you should be back in the social swirl in time for the weekend. A long-postponed deal could be starting up again.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Go-ing too fast and too far on too little knowl-edge could be risky. Best to slow down and check for any gaps in your information. It’s what you don’t know that could hurt you.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Trying to make peace among quarreling family members, friends or colleagues can be tough. Expect some resistance, maybe even some expressions of resentment. But stay with it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Changing your mind doesn’t have to be a problem once you realize that you might have good and suffi cient cause to do so. Make your explanations clear and com-plete. Good luck.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) An unkept promise can be irksome and easily raise the Archer’s ire. But in-stead of getting into a confrontation, take time to check why someone you relied on came up short.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A new workplace distraction creates an unnecessary delay. The sooner you deal with it, the better for all concerned. A per-sonal matter also should be attended to as soon as possible.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Once again, the Aquarian’s gift for apply-ing both practical and creative methods to resolve a situation makes all the difference. Personal relationships thrive during the weekend.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A relationship appears to be losing its once-strong appeal for reasons that might be dif-ferent from what you think. An open and honest talk could lead to some surprising revelations.

FINANCIAL FOCUS

KEEP INFLATIONIN MIND

WHEN INVESTING

Provided by Adam Graysonof EdwardJones Investments

As an investor, you’re always aware of the potential effects of market volatility on your portfolio. But

you also need to pay attention to another factor that could impact your investments’ return — infl ation.

If you look back over the last few decades, you might not think infl ation is much of a threat. Since the double-digit rates of the early 1980s, infl ation has fallen signifi cantly and, for the most part, has stayed low. Still, over time even a mild annual infl ation rate can eventually erode your purchasing power.

Obviously, if you’re a retiree, or close to retiring, you need to plan for the impact of infl ation on your income stream, which may, to a large degree, depend on the types of investments you own. But even if you’re at an earlier stage in life, you need to think about infl ation because it can reduce the “real” rate of return you receive on your investments.

In any case, you can fi nd investments that may be able to help you cope with infl ation. When you own stocks, for example, you’ve got an ownership stake in companies that have the ability to raise prices — which make them effective infl ation-fi ghting investments. Keep in mind an investment in stocks fl uctuates and you can lose your money.

But one of the biggest infl ation-fi ghting benefi ts of stocks is the dividends that they may pay. Well-run companies may reward investors by paying them back

with dividends — and some companies have increased their dividends annually for decades. A word of caution, though: Companies can reduce or eliminate them at any time, without notice. In fact, during the long market slump we experienced, some companies did cut back on their dividend payments.

Not all stocks pay dividends, of course. In any case, if you’re going to maintain a balanced portfolio, you’ll also want to own other types of investments, such as bonds. But many bonds — along with other fi xed-income vehicles, such as Certifi cates of Deposit — are not good “infl ation fi ghters” because the fi xed rate of return they offer simply may not keep up with infl ation. However, if you built a “bond ladder” — that is, a group of bonds with varying maturities — you’d have more fl exibility in combating infl ation, because your longer-term bonds typically offer higher interest rates.

What about the so-called “infl ation hedges,” such as commodities and real estate? Actually, these “hedges” are extremely volatile and should be approached with great caution. You need look no further back than the bursting of the housing “bubble” to see that real estate, for instance, can go down just as fast as it goes up — and once down, it can take years to recover.

In your efforts to invest wisely for the future, infl ation is only one of the variables you need to consider. But it can be an important one — so make sure you choose the investments that both address infl ation and can help you make progress toward all your fi nancial goals.

WHAT’S INA NAME:

PERHAPS NOT AS MUCH AS YOU THINK© February, 2005, Lisa Welch Stevens, Esq.

Previously I discussed the value of a business’ 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 (corporations, LLCs, etc.), its entity name (and its “trade name”, if any) is recorded with the Secretary of State. If a business is a sole proprietorship or general partnership, and it operates under a name other than the owner(s) personal name(s), that trade name is registered with the Department of Revenue.

Limited liability entities’ names and trade

names, as recorded with the Secretary of State, are accorded some exclusivity: they must be distinguishable on the record from those of other limited liability entities. Sole proprietorships’ and general partnerships’ Registrations 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 Department 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 no longer registered 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 offi ce will no longer require that trade names be distinguishable on the record from other trade names and entity names; forming your business under a particular entity 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.

SCAMMERSGET CREATIVEScammers never go away. They just get

more creative in their methods of getting you to part with your money. Here’s a

sampling of current scams to watch out for:

--Scareware: Scam software that gets into your computer and makes you believe your machine has a virus. You’ll be notifi ed with an urgent popup screen that says you need to download certain anti-virus software immediately or your computer will be in danger. The real danger is that you’ll fall for it and download (and pay for) the suggested software to fi x the nonexistent problem.

--Foreign lotteries: If you get a call saying you’ve won a foreign lottery, hang up. One, you likely didn’t enter the lottery, and two, you surely didn’t give them your phone number. The scam comes in when you’re told that you need to pay fees in advance for various reasons.

--Charity scams: Anytime there’s a disaster, the scammers will hit you up for donations to help the victims. Many people would genuinely like to help, but beware who you give your dollars to. The more emotional the request for money, the more likely it is to be a scam. Stick with the big names such as the Red Cross or The Salvation Army if you want to respond to a disaster.

--Auctions: Foreclosed properties and seized cars have big scam potential. The ads make it sound like you can pick up a house for only a few thousand dollars or a vehicle for a few hun-dred. The scam comes when you’re asked to buy a guide to all the foreclosed properties and seized vehicles in your area. The guides aren’t cheap. If

you give them your credit-card number, you’ve given them free license to charge more things to your card. To explore genuine foreclosed prop-erties, start with the government’s Housing and Urban Development Web site at www.hud.gov.

--Census: The 2010 Census has plenty of oppor-tunities for scams, and some have already sur-faced. At this point, census takers are verifying addresses only. If someone appears at your door saying they’re from the Census and asking for information that includes your Social Security number or bank information, it’s a scam. Also beware of e-mail supposedly from the Census: You will not be contacted that way.

Preparing for the Fall Season, Part 4Exterior Home Maintenance Checklist

Before the weather grows colder it's important to prepare for the winter months to prevent costly damage.

Check fire escape routes,door and window locks andhardware, and lighting aroundoutside of house; ensure fami-ly has good security habits.

If you have a septic tank,measure the sludge and scumto determine if the tank needsto be emptied before thespring. Tanks should bepumped out at least onceevery three years.

If you have a wood-burningfireplace, make sure you haveenough split firewood to getyou through the winter. Placeyour woodpile close to yourhome so it's easy to access inthe winter, but not against thehouse! A lean-to or tarp willprotect your wood from gettingwet from snow or rain.

Replace bulbs in outdoorlighting. It'll be much easiernow than dreading through thesnow to do it. Also be surewiring from any yard lighting issecured under dirt or rocks soit won't get caught up in thesnow blower.

Ensure that the groundaround your home slopes
