“A family on the throne is an interesting idea. It brings down the pride of sovereignty to the level of petty life.” – Walter Bagehot
It’s no secret that we as a society have an ob-session with royalty. Whether it be our version of royalty (actors, singers, football players,
reality T.V. stars), or the actual royal family of the United Kingdom, people want to know every move they make. For centuries we commoners have long looked up to the royals for fashion, religion and even a lifestyle that leaves plenty to envy. But why? Does it really matter that Kate Middleton, now Princess Catherine, wore the same dress in public twice? In the grand scheme of things, why do we care so much about what the royals are up to? Well, read on. If history has anything to do with it (and it would be hard to argue that it doesn’t), those crazy royals have been providing years of entertainment for the rest of us!

SPRING CLEANUP SPECIAL!
ALL A-TWITTER(AND A-FACEBOOK)
Let’s start off with something fairly recent: the wedding of Prince Wil-liam of Cambridge and Kate Middle-ton. This ceremony-turned-spectacle was watched by millions of people the world over. But people weren’t just watching the wedding, they were talk-ing about it. People who have never met the couple were tweeting and post-ing as if the couple were close family friends. In fact, Facebook is said to have counted 2.8 million people in the U.K. and the United States alone who wrote status updates about the wedding in the 24 hours before the ceremony. In that same time period, Twitter is said to have had 237 tweets every second about the wedding.
BAHAMAS MAMAQuick, name the royal who earned this title in the 1980s. If you said Princess Diana, then you are correct. Why, you might ask did such a classy woman get dubbed Bahamas Mama? Well, she did something that women around the world do every day but in her case, people actually cared! While vacation-ing in the Bahamas with her husband Prince Charles, Princess Diana donned a bikini even though she was six months pregnant at the time. What a scandal! Well, not really. But since she was royalty, the paparazzi were able to capitalize on the photo.
WHO’S THE REAL QUEEN?The current monarch is Queen Eliza-beth II and she has a sister named Princess Margaret. Princess Margaret married Antony Armstrong-Jones. It might not come as a huge surprise that their marriage failed, especially when you consider that the princess had long been claiming that her husband was gay. It might surprise you, however, to fi nd out that a woman with royal blood, who many would likely assume was held to a higher standard regarding pri-vacy and tact, would answer the ques-tion, “How is the Queen?” with “Do you mean my sister or my husband?” Honestly, who wouldn’t want to keep an eye on the royal family after hear-ing that?
ONE FISH, TWO FISH…It’s one thing for a queen to own a few horses or some cattle. Perhaps she even owns a couple jaguars, sloths and bea-vers (which Queen II actually does, al-though they reside in the London Zoo, not Buckingham Palace). It’s another thing altogether to own every sturgeon, whale and dolphin within a three-mile radius of the ocean surrounding the U.K. No, that’s not a joke. These water-dwellers are dubbed “Fishes Royal.” Perhaps they should look up the defi ni-
tion of a fi sh because neither dolphins nor whales are fi sh. The royals are nothing if not completely perplexing.
THAT’S FOR BABIESForget that the nursery rhyme “Ring Around the Rosie” was really about the plague. There was actually a royal named Coel who inspired the rhyme “Old King Cole.” Pretty cool, right? Well, at least it’s cooler than singing about dying from the plague. Prince Coel was a British ruler during the 4th century and is said to have been the father of St. Helen, the mother of Constantine, the Roman emperor. It’s also said that Coel loved music, which could be the reason for the lyrics “his fi ddlers three” in the rhyme. Could this possibly be the start of our obsession, our idolization of the royals? You be the judge.
RUB A DUB DUB,NO KING IN A TUB
While many royals are looked up to for their fashion sense or their charisma, it’s unlikely that anyone would have lumped King Louis XIV of France in that group. In fact, it was probably hard

to get close enough to notice. It’s said that he hated washing up, detested it, to the point that he rarely bathed at all. One estimate claimed he only bathed three times from the time he was born in 1638 to 1715 when he died.
Speaking of stinky royalty, Queen Eliz-abeth I is said to have only bathed four times per year. In addition, she loved the white makeup used at the time to cover one’s face and hands. It’s said she didn’t ever actually wash it off; she just slathered on a new layer every day to keep makeup looking fresh. It’s doubtful that new layer did anything to stave off the smell, though. But image is everything after all…
UNSIGNED, SEALEDAND DELIVERED
One of the most important documents in English history, the Magna Carta, was written in 1215. This document was key in setting up a legal system in the U.K. and was a template for other countries as they tried to establish their own systems. The Bill of Rights is to the U.S. what the Magna Carta was to the England. Naturally, a document of this importance would require the signature of the country’s most powerful person – the monarch, King John. But King John didn’t actually sign the Magna Carta. Instead he placed his royal seal on it, which at the time would have to suffi ce since he was illiterate and liter-ally couldn’t sign his name.
I’M HENRY THE EIGHTH I AM, HENRY THE EIGHTH I AM, I AM
You were wondering when we’d get
around to mentioning this particular royal, weren’t you? So let’s just get right to it. Henry VIII had six wives: Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Cath-erine Howard, and Catherine Parr.
There’s a great way to remember how their marriages to the king ended; simply follow this pattern: “divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.” It is important to mention that the king did not believe in divorce and those marriages labeled as such in the pattern above should actually be termed “annulled” but it doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.
As if all those marriages and break-ups (in whatever form) aren’t enough to rival any Hollywood couple of mod-ern times, Henry VIII also had several affairs on the side. One important one to include was with the sister of his second wife. Mary Boleyn became his mistress when he was still married to Catherine of Aragon but he dismissed Mary and never made any attempt to take her as his queen after he had his marriage to Catherine annulled. In-stead, he took her sister Anne Boleyn as his wife fi ve days after his annul-ment from Catherine was declared.
It all seems quite romantic…right up until the time when he had Anne be-headed. He was said to have been play-ing tennis at the time she was executed. Imagine the media frenzy something like that would have created today!
But it gets even better. Jane Seymour, his third wife, served as a lady-in-wait-ing to Anne Boleyn and is speculated to be the motivation behind Anne’s execution. Why? Well, less than two weeks following the execution, Henry VIII married Jane Seymour.

YOUSHOULD STARTINSIDE
It has been proven that you might actually produce a bigger harvest if you direct sow certain
vegetables instead of transplanting a start. On the other hand starting other vegetables indoors will produce a much better yield. So which plants are better planted by transplant? Here is a list to help WEED them out. Pun intended!
Be sure to harden off any transplants before leaving them outside by setting your plant out during the day and gradually introducing them to more sun and wind. If it’s too late to start seed indoors than transplants can be found at your local garden centers.
1. Broccoli – Broccoli is a cool weather crop. Either plant seed indoors by the middle of March or buy transplants and plant outdoors around the end of April. Broccoli can also be grown as a fall crop by directly sowing seeds in mid June.
2. Brussels sprouts – Brussels sprouts also need to be started indoors mid-March and transplants can be planted around the fi rst week of May.
3. Cabbage – Cabbage is also a cool weather crop and can be direct sown the beginning of July for a fall harvest. Start seeds indoors in early March and set out transplants in late April.
4. Caulifl ower – Caulifl ower is another cool weather crop that can be transplanted in mid-April. Seeds should be started indoors around mid-March. Fall crops can be planted in mid-July.
5. Eggplant - Eggplant need hot days and warm nights in order to produce and will not tolerate a freeze. Again, start from seed mid- March and wait to transplant until there is no chance of frost.
6. Melons - Start seeds indoors by the middle of April and transplant after there is no chance of frost; around Mother’s Day. Be very careful transplanting as their roots are very fragile.
7. Onions – if you plan on growing onions from seed than you better plan for next year, but fret not because there is still time to you use onion sets or onion transplants!
8. Peppers – Peppers need to be seeded indoors no later than the middle of March in order to have a transplant that is worth transplanting. They will not tolerate a frost and purchasing transplants is recommended.
9. Squash- Both summer squash

and winter squash will produce a better crop if planted by transplant. Start seed indoors in early April and plant outside by the end of May. Squash roots are also fragile so plant carefully.
10. Tomatoes- Select tomato varieties with the shortest days to maturity and start seed indoors around the middle of March. Be especially diligent about hardening
off your tomatoes before planting outside and wait until there is no chance of frost.

START PLANNING NOW FOR
WARMER WEATHER
It was a bad winter in many parts of the country. Flooding, snow, storms -- we’ve had it all. But
spring and summer are coming! We need to start planning now to take advantage of all the warmer weath-er we’ll get.
Are you a gardener? Whether you plant fl owers in pots outside your door, or have a full garden in the yard, or grow vegetables in the community garden, now is the time to start planning. Check your local area for gardening classes, even if your efforts are going to be on the small scale.
If you have a plot in a community garden, it often will have classes to let you know the condition of the soil this year and what additives you’ll need to apply. Those classes
are where you’ll fi nd willing vol-unteers to help with weeding as the season goes on, if you can’t do it all yourself.
If you’re going to want to join a walk-ing group, investigate now. In some areas, senior centers host walking tours around town or through the woods. For daily exercise, talk with neighbors and friends to see what you can put together. Check your gear: Are your walking shoes good for another year? Do you have a hat and sunglasses?
Once you get a group together, brainstorm for additional activities you can do. Once-a-week croquet in the park? Bowling? Berry pick-ing? Painting birdhouses for the land trust? Baking pies for the food bank?
If you live in a college town, all those students will go home for the summer and leave many of their volunteer tasks undone. Where can you pitch in?
Enjoy your planning!

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My son, 57, salts most every food in his diet. He told me that his doctor said, “Eat all the salt you want.” I looked him in the eye, and it was hard not to be-lieve him. I did say I found it hard to believe.
My son gets regular checkups every fi ve years.
Personally, there’s no salt on my ta-ble. I eat very little processed foods. Please set my son straight. -- P.
ANSWER: Most doctors for most of the recent past have told their patients to go easy on salt. Offi cial medical advisory committees com-posed of the most knowledgeable scientists -- The American Heart As-sociation is one example -- have and still do recommend that our intake of salt (sodium) should be limited to 1,500 mg a day. In some instances, an intake of 2,300 mg is permitted. This is far lower than our present salt use.
Most of our dietary salt comes from processed foods like pizza, meats
such as corned beef (500 mg of so-dium in two ounces), hot dogs (more than 500 mg of sodium in one hot dog), commercial soups, frozen din-ners, breakfast cereals, some breads and baked goods. People have to be-come readers of the nutrition labels put on all foods.
Reducing the intake of sodium lowers blood pressure and reduces the chances for a heart attack and stroke.
I have to add that a few voices have been raised recently to champion di-ets with no limitations on the amount of salt. These researchers say that low-salt diets are not healthy. I am sticking with the authorities who rec-ommend salt reduction until the ma-jority of nutritional experts change their minds. I don’t think that’s go-ing to happen.
You sent a little item on potassium. Potassium, unlike sodium, lowers blood pressure. We’re told to get 4,700 mg of it a day. It’s found in baked potatoes with skins, sweet po-tatoes, bananas, orange juice, milk, kidney beans, cantaloupe, avocado and prunes. Salt substitutes are usu-ally potassium. They can be used by most people if they’re not tak-ing blood pressure drugs like ACE inhibitors and ARBs, angiotensin-receptor blockers.
The booklet on sodium and potassi-um discusses these two minerals and their uses. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 202W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the re-cipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for deliv-ery.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: In a prior column you advocated drinking a daily amount of water that would satisfy one’s thirst, not a set amount of water as some people believe. I agree with you.
However, when I travel to Colorado, I am urged to drink glass after glass of water to allay the effects of alti-tude. Do you think this is valid ad-vice? -- D.K.
ANSWER: I do.Mountain air is dry. Altitude makes a person breathe more rapidly than normal. Fluid is lost from the lungs when a person breathes fast. You can become dehydrated if you don’t in-crease your fl uid intake. After a few days of acclimatization, you can ease off on your water intake.

SEVEN REASONSWE MIGHT OPEN THE DOORS
OF OUR LIVES TO OTHERS
REASON #7: TO LOVEPart 7 of 7
By Dr. Ron Ross
We all watched with embarrassed fascination the life and death of Mi-chael Jackson. It appears he tried everything life had to offer: fame, sex, money, drugs, and two adopted children. Yet he died starved for love, empty, unfulfi lled, and sur-rounded by a bevy of human vul-tures who never loved him only used him.
But you don’t have to be beauti-ful, rich or famous to be starved for love. Many people walk around si-lently screaming, “For God’s sake won’t someone just love me. Love me - that is all I need.”
Hollywood recognizes this sad di-lemma so makes sappy movies about love, and millions watch them. Inane songs are written about love, and we sing them. In our search for love we go through a variety of ma-nipulations and machinations to get someone to love us!
Why do we go through all of this? For one simple reason: God placed within each of us a human shaped void that can only be fi lled by an-other person. Substitutes such as money, sports, hobbies, fame, busy schedules and even signifi cant achievements cannot come close to fi lling the void of having someone to love.
If you’re discouraged about love, I’m here to encourage you. Love is possible because all people are born with the capacity to love. But love is not about self it’s about others. Those who only love self are in-fantile in their emotional maturity. Until a person learns to love others he/she will be hopelessly stranded on his/her own self-indulgent, self-protecting, self-admiring island of aloneness.
So we must open the most private doors of our lives to exit our self-ish hiding places to test the waters, expose an aching heart to another person, and become as vulnerable as we have ever been. Writer C.S.
Lewis said, “To love at all is to be vulnerable.”
It is that vulnerability that scares us. We know that if we risk loving someone else that things are going to change, and change is always frightening. Indeed, love is the most powerful agent of change known to mankind. When we love others our priorities are reordered, our values are reassessed, and our relation-ships restructured.
Love changes the way we look, think, talk, dress, walk, and feel, not just about some special person, but about the whole world. When we love we consider the dreams and happiness of someone else and we willingly seek their happiness be-fore our own. Real love looks not for ways to cage another or keep some-one for private use only. Rather, real love looks for opportunities to help others grow and then applauds their success. It sees the best in others, renders aid to those in need, and is always quick to forgive.
If you’re looking for love you must remember this: Those who are loved the most always love others fi rst.
Of all the doors of our lives we must open, the door to our heart af-fords the greatest opportunity for joy as well as the most likely pros-pect for sorrow. It is an uncertain emotional investment with no guar-antee of return. Yet invest we must, the loneliness of isolation drives us; the desire for intimacy compels us; and the hope of love assures us that somehow all will work out right.
Open your heart to someone today and love them – not for what they can do for you, because of how they perform, or how they look, but because of whom they are. Love someone today and tomorrow and the next day. As you do, that human-shaped void within your heart will begin to be fi lled, for the more you love the more you shall be loved.
Writer Leo Buscaglia said, “There is nothing greater in life than loving another and being loved in return, for loving is the ultimate of experi-ences.”

• On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth, an actor and Confederate sympathizer, fatally shoots President Abraham Lincoln at a play at Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C. The attack came only fi ve days after Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered his army at Appomattox Court House in Virginia.
• On April 8, 1916, at the Boulevard Race in Corona, Calif., an early racing car ca-reens into a crowd of spectators, killing the driver and two others. The fatal accident helped encourage organizers to begin hold-ing races on specially built tracks instead of regular streets.
• On April 13, 1939, the heavy cruiser USS Astoria arrives in Japan under the command of Capt. Richmond Turner in an attempt to photograph the Japanese battleships Ya-mato and Musash in a pre-war reconnais-sance. The Astoria was sunk during Opera-tion Watchtower in the Solomon Islands in August 1942.
• On April 12, 1945, U.S. President Frank-lin Delano Roosevelt dies of a cerebral
hemorrhage in his home at Warm Springs, Ga. The only man to be elected to four terms as president of the United States, Roosevelt is remembered for his New Deal social poli-cies and his leadership during wartime.
• On April 10, 1953, the horror fi lm “The House of Wax,” starring Vincent Price, opens at New York’s Paramount Theater. It was the fi rst feature from a major motion-picture studio to be shot using the three-dimensional, or stereoscopic, fi lm process, and one of the fi rst horror fi lms to be shot in color.
• On April 9, 1962, President John F. Ken-nedy throws out the ceremonial fi rst pitch in Washington D.C.’s new stadium. He contin-ued a long-standing tradition that began in 1910 when President William H. Taft threw out Major League Baseball’s fi rst opening-day pitch in Washington D.C.’s old Griffi th Stadium.
• On April 11, 1970, Apollo 13, the third lu-nar landing mission, is successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. After an oxygen tank exploded on the evening of April 13, however, the new mission objective became to get the Apollo 13 crew home alive.

THE PALMER LAKE HISTORICAL SOCIETY
PRESENTS
Mining For TheReal Baby Doe
The Palmer Lake Historical Society invites the public on Thursday, April 18, 2013, at 7:00
P.M. to the Palmer Lake Town Hall, 28 Valley Crescent, Palmer Lake, CO 80133, for a fascinating presentation by award-winning author Joyce B. Lohse about Colorado’s favorite female mining legend, Elizabeth Tabor. Elizabeth was given the nickname
“Baby” Doe--the miners’ sweetheart while working the Fourth of July Mine in Central City, Colorado. In early March of 1935, Baby Doe’s frozen body was discovered on the fl oor of her cabin outside the Matchless Mine in Leadville, her arms peacefully crossed on her chest. At the time of her death, she had already become a legend.
Joyce is the author of Baby Doe Tabor: Matchless Silver Queen. In her presentation, Joyce reveals how she manages to tell a familiar story in a different light. She also describes her adventures while researching the Tabor family tale so she could fi nd new and interesting perspectives to share with her readers and audience.
This event is free and refreshments will be served after the presentation. Visit us at www.palmerdividehistory.org.

PIRATEATTACK!
By Nick Yanez
Television is hitting somewhat of a stride over the last 7-8 years. You could look to the immedi-
ate past when ABC dominated the rat-ings with shows like LOST and Des-perate Housewives. There’s also the reality TV movement; while it started almost 15 years ago, prominent shows like NBC’s The Voice, and Fox’s X-Factor are taking American Idol’s model, and somehow making it even more popular. Then there’s the bril-liant writing and acting on AMC. They have heavyweight shows like Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and the hippest cable hour around in The Walking Dead. All of these shows have dominated Emmy Awards and viewer’s hearts over nearly a decade. Now, another network takes it shot at greatness in the modern tele-vision era - the highly regarded HBO. Since The Soprano’s ended (quite mis-erably, might I add) the pay-to-view network has struggled to regain audi-ence favor like they used to. Recently though, HBO roared back with the sur-prise hit Game of Thrones. The premier happened just last week. Which brings me to the point of this week’s article. The season premier episode, in just two days, became the most pirated form of media in the history of the Earth.
Online pirating is becoming the most common form for teens and twenty-somethings to acquire movies, televi-sion, and music. Make no mistake, it is stealing. Unfortunately, many people don’t feel very strongly about it. They site that movie stars and music mak-ers still pull in millions of dollars of income. So what if a couple thousand copies of their latest work are down-loaded for free? They still get a check, right? That’s not how it works, actu-
ally. Look at it this way, grocery and department stores also continue to em-ploy and pay millions of people across America. Does that make it okay to steal candy bars and shoe’s? Of course it doesn’t.
Being twenty-two years old, I happen to know several friends and family members who partake in the pirating frenzy. I do not support them in this. Even downloading music for free is inexcusable. For everyone wondering why there aren’t many Dark Side of the Moon caliber albums being made anymore, the answer is simple. There’s not enough time or money to make them. Pop stars and rock bands are forced to push out albums every year, with singles being made in between the whole time. Record labels know they won’t make money from every person who ends up owning the songs, so they shorten the production time, forcing premature releases from their entire artist roster. The labels have to put new music out at a rapid pace
It’s no different with movies. Constant-ly I hear complaints about how there are no more original ideas in fi lm. Every-thing is either a remake or a sequel. Is this because all the intelligent and cre-ative people are dead? No, it’s because they have to rush out blockbuster fi lms they know will simply make money.
Now I’m not suggesting that Game of Thrones will suddenly become a hor-rible show because people are steal-ing its episodes. I’m simply saying be careful what you wish for. If you want free entertainment, eventually, it will look/sound like you got it for free. In other words, you get what you pay for. So the next time your friend rips you an album or let’s you watch a burned DVD of a fi lm that’s still in theaters, think twice before accepting the offer. At the very least, if you enjoy the stolen property, have the decency to purchase it afterwards. Support the art you love. It could be gone before you know it.

BROCCOLI ADDS A
BOOST OF FLAVOR
Although broccoli isn’t one of former President George H.W. Bush’s favorite vegetables, it’s
a popular choice for many Americans. The average person in the United States eats four and one-half pounds of broc-coli a year. Broccoli is available year round, but it’s best during the spring months and cooler weather. Broccoli is rich in fi ber and might help reduce cho-
lesterol and fi ght other diseases. It takes 3 to 3 1/2 cups of broccoli to equal the calcium in one cup of milk.
Broccoli was fi rst grown wild about 2,500 years ago on the island of Cyprus and in other parts of the Mediterranean. Broc-coli has been grown in America for about 200 years. The fi rst commercially grown broccoli crop was har-
vested in New York.
Broccoli was fi rst planted in California the 1920s, and now 90 percent of the fresh broccoli sold in the U.S. is grown in California’s Salinas Valley, accord-ing to the U.S. Department of Agricul-ture.
Broccoli has become one of the best-selling members of the Brassica genus family, which also includes cabbage, Brussels sprout, caulifl ower and cru-ciferous vegetables. One of the most common types of broccoli sold in the U.S. is sprouting, or Italian green, broccoli, which has light-green stalks topped by umbrella-shaped clusters of purplish-green fl orets. It also is known as Calabrese, after the Italian province

of Calabria, where it was fi rst grown.
When buying broccoli look for fi rm, compact clusters of small fl ower buds. The bud clusters should be dark or sage green, or even green with a purplish tinge.
Broccoli adds vitamins, fl avor and tex-ture to my recipe for Broccoli Pasta Sal-ad with Zesty Lemon Parsley Dressing. This salad is the perfect “make ahead” dish for a light lunch or as a side dish for a main course. Best of all, it tastes even better the next day.
BROCCOLI PASTA SALAD WITH ZESTY DRESSING
When prepping the broccoli, keep the stems and fl orets separate, as the stems need a little more time to cook.
2 teaspoons salt12 ounces whole-wheat elbow or rotini pasta or shell pasta1 1/2 pounds broccoli1 cup (6 ounces) raisins1 red bell pepper, stem and seed pod removed, diced1/2 purple onion, minced1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped coarsely
Zesty Lemon Parsley Dressing
1 teaspoon lemon zest 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup 2 teaspoons Dijon or honey mustard 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper or chili powder1/3 cup olive oil
1. In a large pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a rapid boil (covering the pot with a lid). Stir in salt and pasta. Cook, un-covered for 8 to 9 minutes, stirring as needed to prevent pasta from sticking.
2. Meanwhile, whisk together lemon
zest, juice, chopped fresh parsley, hon-ey or agave, mustard, garlic, 1/2 tea-spoon salt, pepper and red pepper in a large bowl. Add the olive oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking constantly un-til smooth.
3. Using a slotted spoon, scoop (don’t drain) the pasta from the boiling wa-ter--you’ll need the boiling water to cook the broccoli. Add the pasta to the bowl of dressing. Toss to combine. Set aside.
4. Trim the fl orets off broccoli, cut into 1-inch pieces. Chop the tough end off of the stalks and discard. Halve stalks length-wise and slice them, about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Bring pasta water back to a boil. Add broccoli stalks to the boiling water and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. You should be able to poke the tip of a knife into the stalk quite easily. Add fl orets to the pot and cook until slightly tender, about 1 minute.
6. Drain broccoli and place in ice water to cool. Drain again, transfer to salad spinner, and spin dry. If you don’t have a salad spinner, lay the broccoli on pa-per towels or clean kitchen towels to dry for 5 minutes.
7. Mix the broccoli, raisins, red bell pepper, onions, walnuts and the re-maining 1/2 teaspoon of salt with the pasta. Cover and chill for 1 hour before serving. You can make the salad up to six hours in advance. Makes 4 to 6 servings

PICKS OF THE WEEK
“Hyde Park on Hudson” (R) -- In 1939, President Franklin Roosevelt hosted the fi rst visit by ruling English royalty. This movie peels open this intriguing bit of history and seeks to make it as bland and boring as possible. The story comes from the perspective of Daisy (Laura Linney), a distant cousin of FDR (Bill Murray) -- and apparently one of his girlfriends. Daisy is an unassuming American gal surrounded by
power -- and she’s utterly insufferable as a POV character.I would say it’s not anybody’s fault that this movie is so lame. None of the characters are fully realized. Murray tries to bring FDR to life, but the script won’t allow it. Something about the pacing left little time for interest-ing drama. In a fi lm about history, culture clash and big personalities, they somehow forgot the personality.“The Sorcerer and the White Snake” (PG-13) -- This Chinese fantasy-romance sheds a new light on human-demon relationships. Xu (Raymond Lam) is a humble herbalist who is saved from drowning by the gor-geous Susu (Eva Huang), and quickly falls in love. Too bad she’s a snake demon in hu-man form -- although she’s a nice demon and her love for Xu is real. Their happy home is threatened by Fahai (Jet Li), a white-robed monk who sniffs out and ban-ishes demons.This is not a bone-crunching kung-fu-on-
wires movie like American Li fans are used to seeing. While martial-arts and fl ight play a big role, it’s more of a big-screen folk tale. The computer graphics are amazing, but maybe not put to the best use. The action and magic sequences are so overwhelming that it’s hard to feel involved.“Orchestra of Exiles” (NR) -- As Nazism took hold of Germany, renowned violinist Bronislaw Huberman began a courageous mission to get Jewish musicians away from their persecutors. This documentary tells the story of how Huberman formed the Pal-estine Philharmonic orchestra by helping musicians and their families leave Germany, saving the lives of about 1,000 people along the way. It’s not the most gripping fi lm, but it’s an interesting story brought to life with intricate detail.“In Another Country” (NR) -- In a small beach town in South Korea, three strikingly similar stories take place, though none of them seem to conclude. Isabelle Huppert
plays three different characters, all of them named Anne. The three Anne’s have differ-ent personalities, yet seem to experience similar conversations, situations and people. This English-language creation by Korean director Sang-soo Hong completely ignores conventional storytelling. It’s just odd and engaging enough to keep you watching, if you’re feeling up for something just a little different.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Rumors of a change in the workplace could make you a mite uneasy about going ahead with imple-menting your ideas. Best advice: Ignore the talk and proceed as planned.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Everyone has an opinion on how to handle a recent busi-ness suggestion. Thank them for their advice. Then go ahead and follow your own fi ne in-stincts.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) While home is your main focus this week, new issues in the workplace need your attention as well. Take things step by step. Pressures ease in time for weekend fun.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be less rigid when handling a relationship problem. You might believe you’re in the right, but try to open your mind to the possibilities of facts you’re currently not aware of.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Leos and Leonas run at a hectic pace throughout much of the week. But by the weekend, the Lions’ Dens become a purrrfect place for you Fine Felines to relax in.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Change is favored early in the week. This should make it easier for you to reassess your plans for handling a troubling professional relationship. Good luck.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A suggestion from a colleague could give your professional project that long-needed boost. Meanwhile, someone close to you still needs your emotional support.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Before complying with a colleague’s request, check to see that the action benefi ts all, not just one person’s agenda. Continue fi rming up those travel plans.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your social life is on the upswing, and the only problem is deciding which invitations to accept. Enjoy yourself before settling down for some serious work next week.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) With your creative aspects on high, you might want to restart your work on that novel or painting you put aside. Your efforts will bring a surge in your self-esteem.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) While you’re generous with others, be sure you’re not overlooking your own needs. Take time to assess your situation and make adjust-ments where necessary.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Being applauded for your achievement is great. But watch out that you don’t start acting like a star. It could lose your valuable support with your next project.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your strong belief in justice, along with your leadership qualities,
help you protect the rights of others.

• It was world champion race-car driver Mario Andretti who made the following sage observation: “Everything comes to those who wait ... except a cat.”
• Those who study such things say it takes three apples to make one glass of apple ci-der.
• You might be surprised to learn that John Denver -- best known for singing “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” an ode to West Vir-ginia -- was not actually from the Mountain State. He didn’t write the song, either. In-terestingly, the two people who did write the song, Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, had never been there at the time that they wrote it. They were on their way to Maryland when Danoff started writing a tune about the lovely countryside they were driving through. West Virginia was put in because Danoff had been sent several postcards
from the state and was impressed.
• Politics has always been a dirty business, with candidates through the years saying whatever was necessary to get elected. Take the 1950 senatorial campaign in Flor-ida, for example. In the Democratic pri-mary, incumbent Claude Pepper was being challenged by George Smathers, a sitting congressman. Taking unfair advantage of the lack of education in some parts of the state, Smathers sent campaign materials to rural areas accusing Pepper of, among other things, having a brother who was a “practicing Homosapien” and a sister who was a “thespian.” The charge against Pep-per himself was that he had “matriculated” with young women. In a victory for sleazy politics, Smathers did, in fact, win the pri-mary.

SATURDAY MAIL DELIVERY ENDS THIS SUMMER
To cut back on revenue losses, after weighing the pros and cons for years, the Postal
Service will no longer deliver mail on Saturdays starting in August 2013. They expect to save $2 billion of the nearly $16 billion losses from last year.
Here are the ways it will affect us:
• No mail will be delivered to street addresses on Saturdays.
• Packages, however, will continue to be delivered six days a week. This is due to an increase in pack-age volume, likely because of on-line purchases.
• Packages and mail will continue to be delivered to post offi ce boxes on Saturdays.
• Post offi ces will stay open on Sat-urdays, if they currently do.
Consumers will need to change their habits. Birthday cards expect-ed to arrive on Saturday won’t get there until Monday. Netfl ix DVDs expected to arrive for the weekend won’t arrive until Monday. Time sensitive out-of-town newspapers will be delayed. Bills mailed with
the expectation that Saturday is a working day may arrive late. If you vote by mail, you’ll need to mail earlier.Over the past two years, the Postal Service has made numerous chang-es to try to bring down its operat-ing costs. Hours have been cut at smaller post offi ces, staff has been reduced, and some post offi ces have closed completely. In spite of these cost reductions, the price of a stamp has been raised to 46 cents.
If you haven’t used online bill pay-ment in the past, this might be the time to investigate how it’s done and calculate your monthly sav-ings.
If you’re printing out a multi-page document to mail, consider reduc-ing the number of pages by ex-panding the margins slightly so that more text fi ts on each page and reduce the font size slightly. The top and bottom margins are where you’ll get the most additional lines per page.
Listen for the next increase in the cost of stamps and stock up before the change goes into effect. Invest in postcards for short messages. If you send quite a few packages, investigate Click-N-Ship and save up to 16 percent by weighing your own packages, printing your labels and paying with a credit card or PayPal.
The U.S. won’t be alone in this change. Canada, Sweden and Aus-tralia already deliver fi ve days a week.

HERITAGE LECTURE SERIES
CONVERTING POLLUTANTS TO PRODUCTS FROM COAL FIRED
POWER PLANTS: A DISCUSSION OF THE NEUSTREAM®-S
SCRUBBER AND THE EXTRACTION OF RARE EARTH METALS
OUT OF FLY ASH
Thursday, April 11, 2013Recepti on: 6:00 p.m.Lecture: 7:00 p.m.
Western Museum ofMining & Industry
The Western Museum of Mining & Industry continues to explore Rare Earth Minerals with a lec-
ture presented by Jacob Kershman of Neumann Systems Group, Inc. (NSG). NSG has an objective of taking pollut-ants from coal power and turning them into useful products for humanity. The fi rst commercial pollution to prod-ucts technology is the NeuStream®-S scrubber project at the Colorado Springs Utilities Martin Drake plant. It removes sulfur dioxide (SO2) and con-verts it into gypsum, a product that can be sold for fertilizer or building mate-
rials like drywall. A recent new prod-uct announcement was NSG’s fl y ash metal extraction process (FAMETM). NSG has successfully created and demonstrated a process that effi ciently extracts strategic and rare earth metals out of fl y ash (the solid ash waste left over after burning coal).
Jacob will present the technology be-hind these products. The Heritage Lec-tures are free, but advance reservations are necessary due to limited seating.
Please call the museum at (719) 488-0880 or email at [email protected].
