“Of all of our inventions for mass communication, pictures still speak the most universally understood language.” – Walt Disney

Who’s the leader of the club, that’s made for you and me? M-I-C…K-E-Y…M-O-U-S-E! You can probably sing the rest of

the song, can’t you? Mickey Mouse and his creator Walt Disney have become so famous, we often re-fer to them as just Mickey and Disney, like we’re friends with them. But it’s doubtful any of us was ever on a fi rst-name basis with the co-founder of a company that raked in more than $36 billion in revenue as of 2010. So who was this incredibly inventive, imaginative and successful man? Snip-petz rolls back the hands of time to take a glimpse into the life of the man behind the mouse: Walt Dis-ney.

IN THE BEGINNING…Born in Chicago on Dec. 5, 1901, Wal-ter Elias Disney was the second son of Elias and Flora Disney. At the age of 4, Walt Disney moved with his family to Marceline, Mo. It was there that Disney began to discover and foster his love of drawing.

The Disney family moved away from Chicago only to return in 1917. Disney entered his fi rst year at McKinley High School as a freshman. He also began tak-ing night classes at the Chicago Art In-stitute. Disney’s skill as an artist earned him the spot as cartoonist for his school’s newspaper.

WALT DISNEY MEETS WORLD WAR I

With World War I raging, Disney decided to drop out of high school at 16 in order to join the army, but he wasn’t permitted to join because he was underage. Dis-ney didn’t let that stop him, however. He joined the Red Cross with a friend and became an ambulance driver in France for a year but he never saw any combat action; the armistice was signed prior to his departure for France.

IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED, TRY, TRY AGAINAfter returning to the United States in 1919, Disney got a job at the Pesmen-

Rubin Art Studio with the help of his old-er brother, Roy. At the art studio, Disney worked on creating advertisements for magazines, newspapers and movie the-aters. He also crossed paths with fellow cartoonist Ubbe Iwerks who became an integral part in his future as an entrepre-neur. When their contracts with the art studio came to an end, the pair set out to open their own commercial art studio.

When the studio failed, Iwerks and Dis-ney parted ways, with Disney fi nding employment making commercials using cutout animations. This job piqued his interest in animation and after studying up on different techniques, Disney settled on cell animation, which was speculated to have been because he felt it was a more promising avenue than cutout animation.

In the years that followed, Disney expe-rienced several ups and downs including the bankruptcy of his studio, Laugh-O-Gram. He bounced back and went into business with his brother Roy. They set about fi nding a distributor for Walt Dis-ney’s developing idea, “Alice Comedies,” which was a series of live-action/animat-ed short fi lms based on “Alice’s Wonder-land.” Walt Disney asked Virginia Davis, the live-action star of “Alice’s Wonder-land” to relocate to Hollywood, Calif., where the Disneys had set up shop. Da-vis agreed and with the new series set to be produced, the Disney Brothers’ Studio was offi cially founded.

LOVE IS IN THE AIRDuring the rise of the Disney Brothers’ Studio, Disney met his future wife, Lil-lian Bounds, whom he had initially hired to ink and paint celluloid. It might have been love at fi rst sight because after dat-ing for just a few months, the couple mar-ried in 1925. They welcomed their fi rst daughter Diane in 1933 and later adopted their second daughter, Sharon.

OSWALD THE (NOT-SO) LUCKY RABBIT

The “Alice Comedies” found relative success and when the series ended in 1927, Disney and Iwerks were reunited.

The pair created a new all-animated se-ries called “Oswald the Lucky Rabbit,” which was created and drawn by Iwerks. The series was a hit and Disney decid-ed he needed to get a higher fee for the short fi lms he was creating, which by then were being distributed by Universal Pictures. Universal owner Charles Mintz refused the increased rate and informed Disney that Universal would actually be paying a lower rate. If Disney didn’t co-operate with the new arrangement, Mintz informed him that most of Disney’s animators were under contract and that Mintz would start a new studio, taking those animators with him. Mintz claimed that Universal Pictures owned the trade-mark to “Oswald the Lucky Rabbit” and could easily continue to produce the fi lms without Disney. Upon his refusal

February � at �:�� pm

of Mintz’s ultimatum, Disney lost most of his animation staff and found himself back at square one.

ENTERMICKEY MOUSE

After that, Disney did what he did best: he bounced back. Working with Iwerks, one of the only animators to stand by Disney during his confl ict with Univer-sal, he worked up some sketches of a mouse based on a pet he had back at the Laugh-O-Gram studio. Iwerks smoothed out the rough edges of the sketch, mak-ing the character easier to animate, while Disney provided the voice. With that, Mickey Mouse was born.

Mickey Mouse’s fi rst feature animated short, a silent cartoon called “Plane Cra-zy,” never made it to distribution. But not long after, Disney worked up a new cartoon with sound called “Steamboat Willie.” It was an instant hit. Thereafter, Disney re-released “Plane Crazy” and its follow-up “The Gallopin’ Gaucho” (also silent) with a soundtrack. Every subsequent cartoon he created included sound.

LIFE’S BETTER IN COLORUntil 1932, every Disney cartoon had been shot in black and white, including “Flowers and Trees.” After meeting Her-bert Kalmus, a key player in the develop-ment of the fi rst three-strip Technicolor camera, Disney agreed to reshoot “Flow-ers and Trees” in Technicolor. Again, it was an instant hit and earned the title of the fi rst Academy Award for Best Short Subject: Cartoons in 1932. Disney shot all his following short cartoons, called Silly Symphonies, in color and received the sole right to use Technicolor for a two-year term, which was eventually ex-tended to fi ve years.

As one of the Silly Symphonies, Disney created the short “The Three Little Pigs” in 1933, which went down as his most successful cartoon short ever.

SNOW WHITE ANDTHE SEVEN DWARFS

In 1934, Disney became interested in full-length feature fi lms. His fi rst idea was for “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” the production of which began in 1934 and ran until mid-1937 when Disney’s studio ran out of money. Dis-

ney showed a rough cut of the fi lm to loan offi cers in order to obtain the fund-ing to complete the project and when it premiered on Dec. 21, 1937, the audience gave it a standing ovation. The fi lm was re-

leased in February 1938 and earned over $8 million in its fi rst release, which equates to about $132,085,110 today.

DISNEY ENVISIONSDISNEYLAND

After fi nding immense success with full-length feature fi lm cartoons including “Cinderella” and “Peter Pan,” Disney be-gan dreaming up an amusement park where his employees could spend time with their children. In the late 1940s, he began sketching ideas and on July 17, 1955, in Anaheim, Calif., Disneyland was open for business. Again, Disney hit pay dirt…Dis-neyland was wildly successful.

Seeing the success of Disneyland prompt-ed Disney to consider the idea of a bigger, better resort. In early 1964, plans for Dis-ney World began and in 1971 Roy Disney, alongside his family and Walt’s family, of-fi cially opened Disney World.

Walt Disney didn’t live long enough to see the opening of Disney World. He died on Dec. 15, 1966 after suffering an acute cir-culatory collapse due to lung cancer. Dis-ney chain-smoked his entire adult life.

DISNEY FUN FACTS:The Walt Disney Company owns •

fi ve vacation resorts, 11 theme parks, two water parks, 39 hotels, eight mo-tion picture studios, six record labels, 11 cable television networks and one terrestrial television network (among other things).

Disney holds the record for the • most Academy Award nominations with 59 and most Oscar wins with 22.

Tom Hanks is rumored to be play-• ing Walt Disney in a fi lm to be released in 2013 called “Saving Mr. Banks.” This will be the fi rst time an actor has portrayed Disney himself in a movie.

In 1980, Soviet astronomer Lyud-• mila Karachkina discovered a minor planet and named it 4071 Disneya (af-ter Walt Disney).

It is said that the ambulance that • Disney drove during WWI was cov-ered with Disney cartoons.

Disney’s ancestors’ last name was • not “Disney” but rather “d’Isigny.” His ancestor Robert d’Isigny travelled from Ireland to England with William the Conqueror in 1066, where his last name was Anglicized to “Disney.”

AVOIDINGTHE FLU

Not only has the fl u arrived early this season, but it ap-pears to moving quickly.

Seniors are at risk of becoming ex-tremely ill from the fl u, so it’s up to us to do everything we can to avoid catching it.

We say this to little kids all the time: “Keep your hands away from your face.” But it’s true. Granted, the fl u is respiratory and is generally spread through someone sneezing or cough-ing near us, but fl u germs can live on surfaces. If transferred to our hands and then our face, we can catch the fl u.

An important point: People who have the fl u can give it to you a whole day before they even know they’re getting sick. Some hints to avoid the fl u:

• Carry hand wipes when you shop.

If the store doesn’t have any near the carts, use yours to wipe down the handle and seat before you touch it.

• Use alcohol-based wipes on your phone and doorknobs at home, just in case.

• Stock up on hand sanitizer and keep a small bottle with you when you go out.

• Stay out of stores after school hours when small children might be with their parents.

If you haven’t had a fl u shot for some reason, call your doctor and ask if you should have one. Age alone, if you’re over 65, can put you in a high-risk category, and so can any medical condition you might have.

If you do get the fl u, ask your doctor about a prescription for an antiviral drug. The drugs work best if started within two days of getting sick. They can make the symptoms a little easier to handle, and they can prevent com-plications like pneumonia.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have back discomfort upon lying down. It doesn’t matter where I lie or what position I’m in for my back to hurt and often one or both hips. Getting out of bed in the morning is hard and uncomfortable. Once I have had my morning shower and am up and around, I’m fi ne.We have thought of replacing our mat-tress, but how do we fi nd something that will help? What would you recom-mend? -- M.W.

ANSWER: I strongly recommend that you see your family doctor before you invest any money in a mattress.Some of what you describe fi ts the pic-ture of osteoarthritis -- stiffness upon wakening, diffi culty getting out of bed and relief of symptoms after taking a hot shower. Before you spend a penny on a mattress, have your back exam-ined and the problem diagnosed.The booklet on the different kinds of arthritis explains each and how it is treated. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 301W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and ad-dress. Please allow four weeks for de-livery.

***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I looked in the mirror this morning and couldn’t believe what I saw. My right eye was bright red. It looked like someone had punched me. When my husband saw it, he asked if he had hit me while he was

asleep. He didn’t.It doesn’t hurt. My vision is perfect. My eye looks frightful. Do I need to see a doctor? -- Y.T.

ANSWER: Your question is asked re-peatedly. My long-distance guess is a subconjunctival hemorrhage. The con-junctiva is a cellophane-like covering of the eye. Beneath it is a network of invisible blood vessels. When one of those delicate vessels breaks, blood covers that part of the eye.Coughing, sneezing or straining causes the breakage. Sometimes it happens for no apparent reason. The eye looks aw-ful, but no real harm is done. The blood is absorbed in about a week. You can hurry it up by putting warm compress-es over the closed eye.You need to see a doctor if the eye be-gins to pain you, if the blood stays for longer than a week or if it happens time and again.

***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: How good are prunes for constipation? I am often constipated and have unsuccessfully tried many remedies. They might work for a short while, but then I am con-stipated again. I’d like to try the prune way, if you say that it works. -- M.A.

ANSWER: It works for many, but I can’t give you a guarantee.Five to six prunes twice a day can change your bowel habits in a week or so.Prunes have fi ber, one reason why they exert a laxative effect. Fiber keeps food waste moist on its passage out of the body. Prunes also contain sorbitol, a natural laxative. In addition to the laxative action, prunes have antioxidants, substances that counter the bad effects coming from cell chemistry.Prunes have undergone a name change; they are now called dried plums.

Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will in-corporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or re-quest an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

HYPOCRITEBy Dr. Ron Ross

“Hypocrite!” That’s a charge oft heard by people who believe something and then because of their human weak-nesses somehow fail to live up to the standards they have set for themselves or others. So the other day I decided to study the word to discover what those ugly nine letters are all about.

The word hypocrite comes from the Greek word which is pronounced al-most exactly as we pronounce it today. Its origin was in the ancient Greek the-ater where actors wore masks to hide their real faces while they played the parts of others – they were pretenders or hypocrites. Fortunately the word no longer applies to those who perform on the stage but to those who pretend in everyday life.

I think you would agree that there are many hypocrites out there but not just in the church (where there are, I must

admit, plenty).

There’s a guy somewhere who had the Ten Commandments tattooed on his back. He must have been quite re-ligious, don’t you think? My thought was why didn’t he have them tattooed upside down on his stomach where he could review them from time to time?Have you noticed the athletes who gen-ufl ect before they step up to bat or who, right after they make a touchdown, take a knee and bow as if they are praying? Is it possible that this, for some, is just a show? I do.

The most common hypocrisy among politicians are the wealthy elite who get elected then raise taxes while they do everything possible to avoid pay-ing taxes on their billion dollar estates. Then there’s the politician that runs on the platform that he is “pro life” but when the opportunity to confi rm a judge that might vote to outlaw abor-tions he suddenly does something dif-ferent. Pretenders. Hypocrites.

Main Street business people too: A great preacher of the last century ob-served, “When you see a man with a great deal of religion displayed in his shop window, you may depend upon it he keeps a very small stock of it with-in.” - Charles H. Spurgeon

Some of the worst hypocrites are the rappers and rockers who denigrate women, call for cops to be killed, pro-mote drug use, and wallow in all kinds of depravity while they wear big gold crosses around their necks and perform using religious icons as props.

Some years ago a man was absolutely insistent that his daughter have a lav-ish wedding invoking all the blessings of the church on the marriage of his daughter. He spared no expense to see that the clergyman involved would pro-vide the religious blessings he thought important to the event.

On the day of the wedding the fa-ther, along with the rest of the family, showed up by droves to the wedding.

They were all decked out in their tux-edos and lovely dresses and a special group piety put on for the hour or so they were at the church. The congre-gation even added their “amen” to the clergyman’s prayers.

Yet everyone in attendance was a hypo-crite, a phony, a person who pretended to have moral or religious beliefs that he/she did not actually possess. You see, the family owned a chain of porno theaters in a nearby city and everyone at the church knew it except the clergy-man. It was all a show.

And now, what about you and me? We are hypocrites as well for we have pre-tended a level of piety that belied the reality of our every-day lives. Each of us have said one thing and done an-other - often. We have all preached ser-mons to others with no intention of ap-plying them to our own lives. We have each demanded justice for the other but mercy for ourselves.

Since hypocrisy is a matter of pretend-ing to be one kind of person while be-ing another, I’m afraid we are all quite guilty. And since we are all hypocrites could it be said that the one who detests hypocrisy the most may be the biggest hypocrite of all?

• On Jan. 31, 1606, in London, Guy Fawkes, a chief conspirator in the plot to blow up the British Parliament building, jumps to his death moments before his execution for treason. He had been found lurking in a cel-lar of the Parliament building with 2 tons of gunpowder.

• On Feb. 1, 1884, the fi rst portion of the Oxford English Dictionary is published. In 1857, members of London’s Philological Society decided to produce a dictionary that would cover all vocabulary from 1150 A.D. to the present. It took more than 40 years to complete.

• On Jan. 28, 1915, the captain of a German cruiser orders the destruction of the William P. Frye, an American merchant ship off the Brazilian coast. He had ordered the Frye to jettison its cargo as contraband, but the ship’s crew refused. It was the fi rst Ameri-can merchant vessel lost to Germany’s ag-gression during World War I.

• On Jan. 29, 1922, in the middle of a fi lm,

the Knickerbocker Theatre in Washington, D.C., collapses, killing 108 people and sending another 133 to the hospital. Accu-mulated snowfall from a blizzard collapsed the theater’s roof, which fell down on top of theatergoers.

• On Jan. 30, 1933, President Paul von Hindenburg names Adolf Hitler -- fuhrer (leader) of the National Socialist German Workers Party (or Nazi Party) -- as chan-cellor of Germany. Hitler’s meteoric rise to prominence in Germany was spurred largely by the German people’s frustration with dis-mal economic conditions.

• On Feb. 3, 1950, Klaus Fuchs, a German-born British scientist who helped developed the atomic bomb, is arrested in Great Brit-ain for passing top-secret information about the bomb to the Soviet Union. The arrest of Fuchs led authorities to several other indi-viduals, including Julius and Ethel Rosen-berg in the U.S.

• On Feb. 2, 1991, Hurley Haywood begins his quest for his fi fth win at the 24 Hours of Daytona. In 2008, Haywood retired from full-time racing with more endurance victo-ries (10) than any other driver.

Nick-Snips

A GAMEOF INCHES

By Nick Yanez

This week, we enter the most unique month of the entire cal-endar year – February. Why,

you ask, is this month so special? There are several things, such as that annual spectacle, the Super Bowl, we’ll all be watching. There’s Valentine’s Day and Groundhogs day too. But really, the most special attribute of this month over the last two years has been sand-wiches. Yes, delicious lunch fare.

You see, over the last two years, super-chain restaurant Subway has offered us ANY Footlong sub of our choosing for just $5! They call it Febru-Any $5 Dollar Footlong (I know, not the clev-erest of taglines, but still). The chain is expected to offer this promotion again, giving fast-food opportunists a chance to dine in style, if only for 28 days.

But before we anoint the entire month of February a time of sandwich eat-ing, we should investigate their claims. Yeah, that’s right; you may have been lied to. Luckily I am here, looking out for the folks. Nick-Snips is here to un-veil the ugly truth of American Capital-ism gone awry…

This week I present to you the humble reader, a singular, eye-opening fact – not all $5 Footlongs measure at 12-inches. In fact, two proud American citizens by the names of John Farley and Charles Pendrak have investigated these claims and taken the necessary legal action. After submitting photo’s showing each sub next to a ruler, both men found their subs only measured 11-inches.

Luckily, in a nation of priorities, these gentlemen were able to make a stand. Citing “false, deceptive” and “mislead-ing affi rmative statements of fact” the

two men offi cially sued Subway to re-gain losses of 5 to 8.3 percent of the countless “Footlong” sandwiches they purchased from the store. The percent-ages weigh to about $.41-$.54 per sub (depending on if it were a $5 or $6.50 sub). Of course, these folks are asking for triple damages (bringing totals to $1.23-$1.62). On top of that, they law-suit is seeking class-action status for anyone who bought a sandwich from January 22, 2007 to the present time (Only in the area where the offi cial lawsuit was claimed, unfortunately)

Forced to respond to the claims, Sub-way spokesperson Les Winograd apol-ogized, saying “We regret any instance where we did not fully deliver on our promise to our customers... We freshly bake our bread throughout the day in our more than 38,000 restaurants in 100 countries worldwide, and we have redoubled our efforts to ensure consis-tency and correct length in every sand-wich we serve”.

Seems reasonable enough, right? How-ever, take into consideration that Ste-phen DeNittis, the lawyer for the plain-tiffs, says that his fi rm had measured sandwiches from 14 different Subway locations and each “Footlong” fell short.

Employees of Subway restaurants make the argument that customers are still receiving the same amount of dough as a 12-inch sub, but that the dough had just not properly been tugged, pulled, and proofed before served. DeNit-tis shrugs this off, suggesting “if they were selling by net weight, that would be a good argument”. He also adds that his fi rm will “be investigating to fi nd out if Subway intentionally made sandwiches smaller to profi t unfairly off consumer deception”.

I guess we’ll have to wait to fi nd out. Until then, I still recommend taking advantage of Subway’s “Febru-Any” deal. Just don’t expect their slightly ex-agerated claims that you’ll be receiving a “Footlong” sandwich for just $5; if only such great portions of food were available for so cheap in America - It’s a shame, really.

ARE ORGANIC FOODS REALLY BETTER?

Many consumers are confused about the nutritional qual-ity of organics versus con-

ventionally grown foods. The Ameri-can Academy of Pediatrics recently weighed in on the importance of or-ganic food for children, setting off a fi restorm.

The AAP released a report in October stating that: “Current evidence does not support any meaningful nutritional benefi ts or defi cits from eating organic compared with conventionally grown foods, and there are no well-powered human studies that directly demonstrate health benefi ts or disease protection as a result of consuming an organic diet.”It appears that the confusion in the minds of many consumers about the nutritional benefi ts of organics is linked

to the use, or lack thereof, of pesticides. Conventional food pro-ducers argue that pesti-cide residue is reduced substantially by rou-tine and safe food han-dling practices such as washing, peeling and cooking, and that there is no signifi cant differ-ence in the nutritional quality of organic and conventionally grown foods.

The lower pesticide levels in organic foods do not impact the foods’ nutri-tional levels. In contrast, higher pes-ticide levels in conventional foods do not impact nutritional levels either. Even so, the amount of man-made pes-ticide residues found in conventional foods is still well below the level that the Environmental Protection Agency has deemed unsafe. The real issue is whether these small doses, multiplied over years and decades, might eventu-ally add up to an increased health risk.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, a heart surgeon and television host, wrote about the sub-ject in a recent Time magazine article entitled “What to Eat Now, The Anti-Food-Snob Diet.” Dr. Oz stated that

“nutritionally speaking, there is little difference between the farmer’s mar-ket bounty and the humble brick (of frozen food) from the freezer case. It’s true for many other supermarket foods, too.”

Advances in the frozen-food indus-try -- from packaging to techniques like high-pressure fl ash-freezing and freezing peeled, blanched and steamed foods -- has improved the quality of frozen produce and products, and im-proved the retention of their vitamin content. Some food manufacturers freeze and package the harvested pro-duce immediately and on-site, thereby increasing both quality and preserva-tion of nutrients.

In a study published in the “Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture” in 2007, University of California-Da-vis researchers reviewed the variable nutrient content of fresh, frozen and canned vegetables and fruits. Frozen spinach goes through a fl ash-freezing process that preserves it within hours after it leaves the soil, so it retains more of its vitamin C content than fresh spinach. Both forms of spinach (fresh and frozen) retain their high vi-tamin A content as well.

The nutritional superiority of organic versus conventionally produced meats is another misconception. Research-ers have found that there is not much difference in nutrient quality between grass-feed or cage-free animals and animals that are raised in feedlots or cages.

The quality and nutrient levels in mod-ern canned vegetables and fruits and conventionally raised animals have improved over time and are a good choice for consumers. Best of all, con-ventional foods are far lower in price than organic products, making them affordable for most shoppers.

Good food is available for consum-ers of all economic levels. Shop smart and try both organic and conventional canned and frozen products. This rec-ipe for Easy Spinach Quiche is a deli-

cious way to use frozen spinach.

EASYSPINACHQUICHE

1/4 cup all-purpose fl our 1/2 teaspoon baking powder1 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground black pepper1/2 teaspoon nutmeg6 large eggs 1/2 (8-ounce) package shredded Col-by-Monterey Jack cheese 1 cup small curd cottage cheese1/2 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained1 (4-ounce) can chopped green chil-ies 1/4 cup melted butter

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Whisk fl our, baking powder, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper and nutmeg to-gether in a small bowl and set aside.

2. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl until smooth. Stir fl our mixture into the eggs until no lumps remain. Stir in Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, cottage cheese, spinach, green chiles and melted but-ter until evenly blended.

3. Spray a 9-inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the quiche mixture evenly into pan. Bake quiche in preheated oven for 15 minutes at 400 F, then reduce temperature to 350 F. Continue baking until the quiche is lightly browned and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Makes one (9-inch) quiche.

PICKS OF THE WEEK“Hotel Transylvania” (PG) -- In this ani-mated feature, Dracula (Adam Sandler) hosts a luxury resort for old-school movie monsters. Humans are kept away, accom-modations are made for the undead, and even the bellboys are zombies. For the birthday of his daughter (Mavis, voiced by Selena Gomez), Dracula invites the monster A-list, including the Mummy, the Franken-steins and werewolves (all voiced by stars

from Cee-Lo Green to Steve Buscemi.) Big-release kids movies are supposed to be more grownup-friendly these days. Where parents could get a few laughs and thrills out of “Ice Age” or “Rango,” “Hotel Tran-sylvania” plays it safe. This hotel is com-fortable, if a tad unremarkable -- kind of like well-maintained Howard Johnson. “Seven Psychopaths” (R) -- This is one of those funny, a little hard-to-follow movies with a bunch of characters and even more plot twists. Marty (Collin Farrell) is trying to fi nish his screenplay, so he sticks with his wacko friend, Billy (Sam Rockwell), for in-spiration. Billy and his even weirder friend, Hans (Christopher Walken), steal the be-loved dog of a violent gangster (Woody Harrelson). Jokes, confrontation and confu-sion ensue.Writer/director Martin McDonagh (“In Bruges”) uses an updated recipe that fea-tures two parts banter, one part violence. The screenplay is rather self-aware -- it

starts with two bantering hit men -- as many of these Tarantino-esque movies do -- and then these guys are never seen again. If you feel like things have been a bit predictable lately, “Seven Psychopaths” can give you a jolt. “The Awakening” (R) -- Florence Cath-cart (Rebecca Hall) debunks ghosts and phony psychics. It’s a good line of work, because she lives in early 20th century Eng-land, where there is no shortage of creepy old estates surrounded only by leagues of open country and twisting fog. She goes with World War I veteran Robert Mallory (Dominic West) because he works at an al-legedly haunted, mostly abandoned, creepy boarding school in the country surrounded by twisting fog. What follows is a satisfy-ingly creepy, if run-of-the-mill, ghost story.

DOG OF THE WEEK“The Cold Light of Day” (PG-13) -- The Jason Bourne clones keep coming, and

some of them need to go back to the lab. An American family goes on a sailing va-cation in Europe, only to be attacked by “rogue intelligence agents.” It’s up to the Hollywood-handsome, muscular son in his late 20s (Henry Cavill) to save his family. In return for their safety, the badguys want a special briefcase with contents that are never explained. So cliche, I know. I’m roll-ing my eyes so much it’s hard to look at the screen and type this. This star-studded fail-ure (Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver are in it) shows a middle-school understanding of what makes modern spy thrillers good.

JANUARY 28, 2013

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re eager to take on that new opportunity opening up as January gives way to February. Now all you need to do is resist quitting too early. Do your best to stay with it.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Doff a bit of that careful, conservative outlook and let your brave Bovine self take a chance on meeting that new challenge. You could be surprised at how well you do.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might not want to return to the more serious tasks fac-ing you. But you know it’s what you must do. Cheer up. Something more pleasant soon will occupy your time.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) As you du-tifully tidy up your end-of-the-month tasks, your fun self emerges to urge you to do some-thing special: A trip (or a cruise, maybe?) could be just what you need.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your achieve-ments are admirable as you close out the month with a roar. Now you can treat your-self to some well-earned time off for fun with family or friends. (Or both!)

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Be sure you know the facts before you assume someone is holding back on your project. Try to open your mind before you give someone a piece of it.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel comfortable in your familiar sur-roundings, but it might be time to venture into something new. There’s a challenge out there that’s just right for you.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your love of things that are new gets a big boost as you encounter a situation that opens up new and exciting vistas. How far you go with it depends on you.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-ber 21) That recent workplace shift might not seem to be paying off as you expected. But be patient. There are changes coming that could make a big difference.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While few can match the Goat’s fi scal wiz-ardry, you still need to be wary in your deal-ings. There might be a problem you should know about sooner rather than later.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Easy does it when it comes to love and all the other good things in life. Don’t try to force them to develop on your schedule. Best to let it happen naturally.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A sur-prise decision by someone you trust causes some stormy moments. But a frank discus-sion explains everything, and helps save a cherished relationship.

• Are you a dromomaniac? If you travel compulsively, you are.

• The famed statue Venus de Milo was lost to history for nearly 2,000 years. No one knew of its existence until 1820, when a Greek peasant tilling a fi eld on the island of Milos hit stone -- several carved blocks of stone, to be specifi c. Within a few weeks, archaeologists arrived and took the statue of Aphrodite to France. King Louis XVIII dubbed it the Venus de Milo and donated it to the Louvre, where it remains today.

• You might be surprised to learn that Hum-phrey Bogart wasn’t the producers’ fi rst choice for the role of Rick in “Casablanca.”

An actor named George Raft was original-ly offered the part, but he turned it down because he didn’t like the script.

• In 2010, a new species of slug was dis-covered in the mountains of Borneo. It is distinguished from other species of slug by its novel method of mating: It shoots its mate with a so-called love dart made of cal-cium carbonate and containing hormones. The researchers nicknamed the gastropods “ninja slugs.”

• During the original run of the classic 1960s TV series “Gilligan’s Island,” some viewers took the show rather too seriously. Several telegrams were sent to the U.S. Coast Guard asking why the poor people hadn’t yet been rescued.

STARTPREPARING NOW

FOR SPRING HOME SALE

If you plan to list your home for sale when spring arrives, it’s to your benefi t to use the months un-

til then getting your property in good shape. At the very least, make plans so you can get started immediately in a few months.

While it’s generally not safe to paint rooms when the doors and windows are closed, you can make your dec-orating plans. If you spot the paint on sale (common in the winter), go ahead and buy it now. As long as the cans stay completely sealed (tuck them in a closet so they won’t freeze in your garage), the paint will be good for a long time to come. Before you paint, take the cans back to the store and ask them to run the cans through the shaker again to ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed.

Start interviewing potential real-es-tate agents. Let them come through your home and tell you what items you need to fi x or change to get the best sale price. Learn about the agents and what they offer, but don’t sign any contracts yet.

Have a home inspection. The result will be your to-do list over the next few months. At the very least you’ll be warned about those items before a buyer hires his own inspector and notes them in a sales contract as ne-gotiating points. If you have snow on the roof, the inspection will be a bit limited, but the condition of the house and its systems will give you an overall idea.

Do interior repairs now. A new toilet and sink in the bathroom, and later, paint, a fresh shower curtain and new towels will add to your potential sales price.

If you’re going to have landscap-ing work done when warm weather comes, get on the schedule now. Talk with a landscape planner at a few home and garden places and nail down what you’ll want.

De-clutter. For many homeowners, getting rid of excess clutter is the most time-consuming of all home-sale activities. Start by going through closets and toss clothes you haven’t worn in three years, and also reorga-nize kitchen cabinets.

Depersonalize your home by remov-ing family photos. Look for artwork to go in the blank spots. If you fi nd it on sale and know you won’t change your mind, go ahead and buy now.

TAX COURT ALLOWSHOME INTERNET EXPENSES

In a recent proceeding, the Tax Court allows a taxpayer to deduct home in-ternet expenses since it is related to

a professor’s academic research. In the past the Court has considered internet ex-penses to be a utility such as a telephone or electricity. This subsequently allowed the IRS to contend that a taxpayer would need a telephone regardless, and there-fore the deduction as a business expense was routinely denied.

Taxpayers have relief for deducting utili-ties under the home offi ce deduction. However, the home offi ce deduction will not help taxpayers who work from home

TAX TALK

with Tinaoccasionally and have another offi ce lo-cation. The IRS states that if a taxpayer performs substantial managerial activi-ties at a location outside of their home, the home offi ce deduction does not qual-ify. Subsequently utilities are not deduct-ible.

According to court documents the IRS originally denied the home internet ex-pense deduction because it was a util-ity, and the taxpayer was not claiming a home offi ce deduction. The IRS was wrong since the Tax Court in 2009 stated that utility expenses including home in-ternet service does not require a taxpayer to connect each moment of internet use to a business purpose.

Further, this Court reminds the IRS that the taxpayer only needs to prove a per-

centage of use associated with a business purpose. If a taxpayer claims a deduction for a business meal, he or she would need to prove the specifi c business connection for that single purchase. Not internet ex-penses.

The taxpayer only needs to be able to show the portion associated with his aca-demic work to deduct the expense. This in itself might be a challenge- keep a log-book of hours spent for work is a simple suggestion. Unlike a business meal where names and places are a must, a logbook for internet tracking purposes only needs to demonstrate an overall business pur-pose. The difference is subtle.
