For some people, size isn’t just some-thing to consider; it’s the only thing. When we dine out, not only are we
typically served food in portions that are larger than the recommended size, but we even have options to “supersize” those meals. We have TVs that measure 90 inch-es from one corner diagonally to the other. We have not only king size beds, but Califor-nia kings which are bigger, and Alaska kings which are even bigger than that. And let’s not forget those magnifi cent wine glasses that can hold an entire bottle of wine. So in keeping the mentality that bigger is better, we at Snippetz have compiled a wonderful list full of the world’s largest things.

WORLD’S LARGEST SPIDER
Let’s jump right in with the creepi-est thing on our list…the world’s largest spider. While most people have probably heard urban legends about spiders so large that they at-tack and eat camels from the inside out, those truly are just urban leg-ends. The fact is, the largest spider, when considering its leg span, is the giant huntsman spider found in Laos.
The giant huntsman has a leg span of up to 12 inches, and a body length of almost 2 full inches. The species was discovered in 2001 and is thought to be primarily a cave dweller. Given its size, you would think a species like this wouldn’t have remained undiscovered for quite so long. In fact even the World Wide Fund for Nature commented on that exact situation…and said, “Some of these species really have no business being recently discov-ered.”
WORLD’S LARGEST ROPE SWING
While at the outset this particular
“world’s largest” might sound like a barrel of fun, and it likely is, but it isn’t without its share of tragedy. It all began with a new fad called “pendulum” swinging and it truly is not for the faint of heart.
Pendulum swinging has recently taken the Moab, Utah area by storm. It involves climbing to ridiculous heights on natural structures like Corona Arch in Moab, then jump-ing from them and swinging along while tethered to climbing ropes. The rope swing isn’t a stationary fi xture; anyone wanting to try it has to rig up their own swing but re-cently viral videos have circulated touting Corona Arch as the highest place from which to swing.
The 110-foot-tall sandstone arch has attracted people for a few years but recently was the site of a dev-astating event. A young Utah man miscalculated the length of the rope he needed in order to safely com-plete the jump and hit the ground, dying instantly. Commercial trips to attempt this particular stunt have been banned, although private
climbers can still get away with it if they choose.
WORLD’S LARGEST TREE
Most people have heard of the gi-ant sequoia tree in the Giant Forest of Sequoia National Park in Tulare County, Calif. named General Sher-man. For many years, it was thought to be the largest tree in the world. But in fact, there are two trees that can take the title away from the General: Hyperion and Del Norte Titan. For different reasons, each of these trees can be considered the largest tree in the world.
Hyperion is located in the Red-wood National Forest in California and measures a staggering 379 feet 4 inches. It towers 10 feet higher than the next tallest tree, the Strato-sphere Giant located in Humboldt Redwoods State Park, also in Cali-fornia.

Del Norte Titan, while not the tallest, is the largest tree by volume, based on a single-stem measurement. Lo-cated in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in (surprise!) California, Del Norte Titan contains an esti-mated 37,000 cubic feet of wood and measured at least 23.7 feet in diameter at about 4.5 feet above the ground. One expert described the tree as having a mass “equivalent to 15 adult blue whales” and that if the entire tree were cut into planks 12 feet long and one inch thick and then all the planks were laid end to end, the line would top out at over 100 miles.
WORLD’S LARGEST DOG
It’s probably no surprise that the largest dog in the world happens to be a Great Dane. They are said to be a cross between the English mastiff and the Irish Wolfhound. Originally bred to hunt deer and wild boar, these massive dogs are unusual in that they continue to grow longer than most other breeds (as if they need to).
It might come as a shock, however, to fi nd out that the previous world record holder, Giant George, was

COMPOSTINGYARD WASTEComposting yard waste can be
a very practical thing to do. After all it recycles nutrients
back into your yard and compost is important for good soil structure. Not only is it a tremendous space saver it is also a money saver! You’ll save money not having it hauled away and you’ll save money not having to buy as much compost and mulch later in the year. Often the biggest thing that keeps people from composting is that they simply don’t know how. Composting is easy if you follow a few basic rules.
To create a successful compost pile you want to alternate layers of dried plant material with layers of green plant material. Layers 6 – 8” deep will help your compost pile reach the right amount of nitrogen. Microbes break down the plant material and they need nitrogen to feed on. If green plant material is scarce then an application of blood meal or other fertilizer high in nitrogen is necessary. The microbes also need steady amounts of moisture or they can dry up and die so after every few layers water your pile and keep it lightly moist throughout the year. Keeping your pile too moist, on the other hand, will deprive your microbes of oxygen and your pile
will give off a rotting smell the neighbors might not appreciate. So strive for damp not sopping wet and turn your pile occasionally to achieve even moisture and temperature.
To effectively kill most plant diseases your compost pile needs to reach a temperature of 122 degrees and for the microbes to continue their hard work it’s ideal for temperatures to be between 70 and 140 degrees. This is obviously achieved much faster in the summer months. Don’t worry it’s not necessary to drag our compost pile into the living room in the winter to keep it warm; it will just take a bit longer to produce nice compost. Readily composted materials include leaves, straw, green parts from fl owers and vegetables, and small amounts of twigs, weeds and grass clippings. Be careful though not to add too much plant material treated with weed killer as this will lengthen the time it will take to break down.
Many people also choose to compost kitchen wastes like egg shells, coffee grounds and vegetable scraps, but for some people this can present a problem with bears or raccoons. It is not advised to compost meat, bones or dairy products. For those who would like to compost livestock manure keep in mind the potential hazard of E. coli on food gardens. If you intend to use composted manure for a food garden than a 2 to 4 month curing period after its composted is recommended.
After 1 to 2 months in the summer and a bit longer in the cooler months you will have a compost pile that has shrunk considerably and has a wonderful earthy smell! A mix your gardens and your wallet will surely appreciate!

WORLD’S LARGEST COIN
Located in Sudbury, Ontario, Can-ada, the Big Nickel is a 30-foot replica of a 1951 Canadian nickel. It was built through the cooperative efforts of Ted Szilva and Bruno Cal-lavo and was constructed of stain-less steel panels.
Szilva got the idea when he read about a contest in the Sudbury Star, which asked the citizens of Sudbury to offer up suggestions of how the City of Sudbury could celebrate the Canadian Centennial in 1963. His idea was rejected because the spon-sors, the Sudbury Canada Centen-nial Committee, didn’t feel it was useful.
Szilva continued working on his idea and eventually pulled it off. The Big Nickel was revealed on July 27, 1964.
WORLD’S LARGEST SHEEP
The Big Merino, which stands over 49 feet tall, is the world’s largest sheep. And no, it is not a real live sheep. Located in Goulburn, New South Wales, Australia, the Big Merino is home to a gift shop and a wool display. If you feel so in-clined, you can also climb to the top of the Big Merino and look through its eyes to peek at the local scenery.
The Big Merino was opened on Sept. 20, 1985 but was relocated in 2007. Apparently, patronage of the Big Merino dropped off signifi cant-ly when a highway was built that al-lowed travelers to bypass the mas-sive ruminant so the entire structure was moved closer to the highway.
WORLD’S LARGEST COLLECTION OF THE WORLD’S SMALLEST VERSIONOF THE WORLD’S LARGEST THINGS
First off, say that three times fast. Good, now on to the task at hand. In Lucas, Kan., there is a traveling roadside museum that has dubbed itself the “World’s Largest Collec-tion of World’s Smallest Version of World’s Largest Things.” We’ll call it the WLCoWSVoWLT for short.
The name literally says it all. This traveling museum was created by artist Erika Nelson and includes miniature versions of things such as the World’s Largest Ball of Video Tape, the World’s Largest Ball of Twine and the World’s Largest Fry-ing Pan. It’s comforting to know that there is a place where you can fi nd the world’s largest of anything, all in one place.

HOW SECURE IS‘MY ACCOUNT’?
I’m starting to have second thoughts about using Social Security’s online
“My Account” feature. Yes, I have one. Yes, it’s handy. But scammers are targeting the My Accounts of seniors. The online account is beginning to look like not such a good idea.
In a number of cases, the only way the victims knew anything was wrong was when they received a letter from Social Security verifying that they’d opened an online My Account.
No, they hadn’t. But someone else had. In some cases the scammers at-tempted to divert the direct deposit to an account at another bank. The Offi ce of the Inspector General is investigat-ing occurrences all over the country.
There is a way, if you do have an ac-count, to add a layer of security to
your My Account: You can type in the last eight digits of your Visa, Master-Card or Discover Card. (Do this only if you’re very sure of your computer’s security.)
I once made my very elderly neighbor a list of phone numbers that we pasted to the inside of her kitchen cabinet door above the telephone. I printed it out in large enough letters and num-bers so it was clear to her, and it saved her from having to look up numbers.
Maybe you could use a list like that? If you generate such a list, here are numbers to add to it: Social Security at 1-800-772-1213. Federal Trade Commission fraud report line 1-877-IDTHEFT (1-877-438-4338). OIG fraud hotline 1-800-269-0271.
If something is ever wrong with your Social Security, especially if you have a My Account, call them immediately. Remember that Social Security will never send you email asking for infor-mation or whether you want to open a My Account. But scammers will.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I had a little trouble breathing, so I saw my doctor, who ordered a chest X-ray. It showed fl uid on the right lung. The doctor said he would have to do more tests to fi nd out why the fl uid appeared. Could you guess for me what those tests might be? What brought this on? -- R.H.
ANSWER: A double-ply cover-ing, called the pleura, encases each lung. A small space between the two leaves of pleura allows the lung to infl ate and defl ate effortlessly. The fl uid you have is in the pleural space. The condition is a pleural ef-fusion. The fl uid is not actually in lung tissue.Infections, illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis, heart failure, blood clots in the lungs, liver cirrhosis and chest trauma are some of the causes of pleural effusions. Cancer is another cause.
Shortness of breath, chest discom-fort and cough are some of the things that a pleural effusion engen-
ders. Some people with an effusion have no symptoms at all. The fl uid is discovered when a person has a chest X-ray, as was the case with you.
The doctor is most probably plan-ning to obtain a specimen of the fl u-id from the pleura. It’s not a diffi cult procedure. Analysis of the fl uid pro-vides information that determines what caused it. That information also allows the doctor to determine a treatment plan and provide you with a prognosis of what to expect.I’d like to speculate further for you, but I can’t. I need more information too.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I was given Avodart to treat an enlarged prostate gland. During the six months of taking it, I went from a fully functioning man with a strong libido to 99 percent impotence and no interest in physical intimacy.
My physician does not seem to care. What kind of treatment should I seek? -- H.L
ANSWER: Avodart (dutasteride) is a medicine that can shrink an enlarged prostate gland. Achieving that allows free passage of urine. Impotence and decreased desire for sex are its side effects for a small number of users. Other drugs, with-out these side effects, exist. Further-more, a number of offi ce procedures can open the drainage canal of the bladder. You return home after the procedure.
You should see a urologist immedi-ately.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Two weeks ago, I contracted a cold. It’s gone, except for a troublesome cough, which is worse at night. I read in an issue of AARP Bulletin that a spoonful of honey at bedtime often gives better results than cough medicines. I tried it. The results
were nothing less than miraculous. What do you say about this rem-edy? -- F.B.
ANSWER: I say stick with it. Hon-ey has been used for many years to suppress coughing. It’s even given to babies older than one year.

WHAT COULDPOSSIBLY
GO RIGHT?DON’T PITY YOURSELF-
PRETTY YOURSELFBy Dr. Ron Ross
Life is unfair so there are more than a few reasons to have a pity party. I’ve stood
at the bedside of a child dying of cancer; and with a woman who lost her children in a nasty divorce; and with a family who lost their mother and father in a single car-crash.
You too have reasons to pity your-self, some worse than those above, and some not near as bad. Go ahead and list your reasons for pity if you want.
What is self pity? It is obsessive re-lentless thoughts about a situation where you see yourself as a victim and you feel frustration, anger and betrayal. Self pity stymies any heal-ing and keeps you from moving on with your life. Self pity’s worse side effect is that your family and friends start avoiding you because you’re such miserable company. Beware of self pity as it is a personally de-structive habit as addictive as a nar-cotic and as caustic as a poison.
If you are living in self pity, apply these steps to pretty yourself rather than pity yourself:
Step One: Wallow awhile in your sorrow, then give it up. Cry, grieve, grumble, vent, whine, and belly-ache until you’ve exhausted every reason to complain. Get it out and get it over with.
Step Two: Get real. Analyze what really happened. Not what you THINK happened, but what really did happen. Talk to someone who can help you view the event with clear, unbiased eyes.
Step Three: Now, try something new. The rut of self pity can be de-
structive and keep you from mov-ing forward. Make an effort to try something new regularly. Try a new food, take a class, learn a new skill, and meet new people. Put the focus on the prettier version of yourself – it helps take the focus away from what you pity.
Step Four: Give up something harmful. Get rid of an old bad habit or destructive behavior, and replace it with a new one. If you regularly run late for appointments, make it a goal to set your alarm twenty minutes earlier or always leave 15 minutes sooner. If television eats up your entire evening, unplug it and create a new habit of reading a book.
Step Five: Notice the good in oth-ers and compliment them. As you encourage others you will encour-age yourself. As you do, you will learn to have more grace for your-self; and, who knows, maybe those same people will begin to encour-age you. Want a compliment; give a compliment.
Step Six: Take responsibility for all your actions. Don’t make excuses for bad acts – it’s just another form of self-pity. Discover your strengths and fi nd ways to build on them.
Step Seven: Make a list. Don’t let pity overcome you, but organize and prioritize your life in a way that makes sense. This will help you feel productive and motivate you to do more.
Step Eight: Be you; don’t try to be someone else. You may see charac-teristics in others which you want to pursue, that’s good. But your goal should be to be a better version of you, not a lesser version of some-one else.
Helen Keller said, “Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything wise in this world.” You want to do more than feel sorry for yourself all day – you want to be all that God has intended you to be. So start today to pretty yourself; don’t pity yourself.

• On June 10, 1692, in Salem Village in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, Bridget Bishop, the fi rst colonist to be tried in the Salem witch trials, is hanged after being found guilty of the practice of witchcraft. In October, on order of the governor, the Salem witch trials, which resulted in the executions of 19 innocent women and men, effectively ended.
• On June 14, 1777, during the Ameri-can Revolution, the Continental Congress adopts a resolution describing the design of the national fl ag. It became known as the “Stars and Stripes.”
• On June 13, 1905, pitcher Christy Mat-thewson of the New York Giants throws the second no-hitter of his career. Matthewson won 31 games and lost only nine, and ended the 1905 season with an earned run aver-age of just 1.28, more than a run and a half lower than the league average.
• On June 15, 1917, some two months af-ter America’s entrance into World War I, the U.S. Congress passes the Espionage Act. The Act essentially made it a crime for
anyone to convey information intended to interfere with the war effort. Anyone found guilty of such acts would be subject to a fi ne of $10,000 and a prison sentence of 20 years.
• On June 12, 1940, Edsel Ford agrees to manufacture 9,000 Rolls-Royce-designed engines to be used in British and U.S. air-planes. Edsel’s father, Henry, who still re-tained control over the company, person-ally and publicly canceled the deal, telling a reporter: “We are not doing business with the British government or any other govern-ment.”
• On June 16, 1961, Rudolf Nureyev, the young star of the Soviet Union’s Kirov Op-era Ballet Company, defects during a stop-over in Paris. Nureyev threw himself into the arms of airport security people, scream-ing, “Protect me!”
• On June 11, 1979, John Wayne, an iconic American fi lm actor born Marion Morrison, dies at age 72. The “John Wayne” name was created during his fi rst starring role “in The Big Trail” in 1930. The director didn’t think Marion was a good name for an actor play-ing a tough Western hero.

LOCAL RESIDENTS RIDINGTO STOP DIABETES
AT THE ANNUAL SOUTHERN COLORADO TOUR DE CURE
Colorado Springs, CO -- The American Diabetes Association is challenging riders to be part of the Stop Diabetes® movement by taking part in the annual Southern Colo-rado Tour de Cure®, a cycling event hap-pening on June 22, 2013 at Mary Kyer Park in Colorado Springs, to help raise funds to change the future of diabetes and help stop this devastating disease.
Tour de Cure is designed for anyone from the occasional to the experienced cyclist with routes from 10-mile family rides to 100-mile century rides. The route will fea-ture rest stops with food to fuel the journey and volunteers to cheer riders on. Cyclists from around the region will gather at one of six routes to participate in the event. Routes include: 5K Walk/Run, Mountain Bike Route, 10K Family Friendly, 50K, 100K and 100M cycling routes. The routes will go through Palmer Lake and Monu-ment, with many rest stops around the area. To participate in Southern Colorado Tour de Cure or volunteer, please visit www.dia-betes.org/socotourdecure.
Participants will join more than 50,000 oth-er cyclists and volunteers from across the
country. Individuals and teams composed of co-workers, family and friends are tak-ing the ride of their life by helping raise funds for the nearly 26 million Americans with diabetes.
“Many people will participate in the Tour de Cure for the stimulating competition, camaraderie and physical cycling chal-lenge. But the real reward comes in know-ing that every mile they ride and every dol-lar they raise brings us that much closer to stopping this disease that affects 316,000 people in Colorado,” said Kelly Jackson, American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure Director. “With diabetes growing at near-epidemic proportions, the need for funds has never been so great,” she added.The Tour de Cure raises funds through reg-istration fees and pledges collected by the cyclists. To register, cyclists or volunteers can call the American Diabetes Associa-tion toll-free at 1-888-DIABETES or visit us at www.diabetes.org/tour.
Founded in 1940, our mission is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. For more information please call the American Diabetes Association at 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383) or visit www.diabetes.org/colorado. Information from both these sources is available in English and Span-ish.

SNIPPETZ® WEEKLY MAGAZINE
Nick-Snips
THIRTY FEETUNDER
By Nick Yanez
We hear it all the time - the children are our future. It can be hard to acknowl-
edge at times (like when they fail to bathe themselves, act like superhero’s in the back yard fi ghting imaginary villains, and eat their buger’s). Any-way you spin it though, it’s the truth. One day someone under the age of 18 (right now) will be president of the United States. One of those kids will explore space; another could fi nd the cure for cancer. You never know. Of course, some young people show signs of their incredible potential a little earlier than others. Take for example an 18-year old teen by the name of Justin Beckerman; he just in-vented a personal submarine.
The young New Jersey native has been inventing things for as long as his parents can remember. His mother is quoted claiming “he’s been build-ing things since he was two years old,” adding that “if we tried to help him, we would just get in the way”. At twelve years old, trying to avoid the hassle’s of housework, Becker-man invented a remote control device that could vacuum and mop for him. Impressive, for a middle school stu-dent. Still, Justin’s greatest invention to date is his newest one. The fully functional submarine is a high school science fair anomaly. Few people are capable of such a scientifi c and tech-nological achievement, much less a teenager.
It started years ago. In fact, the sub-marine I’m speaking of is his fourth sub to date! Previous versions were subpar; only able to dive 5-feet deep. The new sub is advanced, enabling
Beckerman to dive up to 30-feet deep. Having already accomplished three successful dives, Justin can be confi dent in his design. As of now, it is reported the man-made sub is capable of being submerged for two hours, before oxygen levels run too low.
When asked what the invention is for, Beckerman gave a wise answer, stat-ing he’d like to, “Explore the lakes, see fi sh, and hopefully fi nd a bit of history”. There are rumored to be cannons from a neighboring historic house in the lake nearest to him. So there’s always that shot at history. An-other shot is staring him in the face as he becomes one of the leading bright minds of his generation. Of course some drive and ambition could help. When asked about the motivation for the project, Justin Beckerman gave an unexciting answer “I wanted to see if I could do it,” he said. How’s that for an inspirational story... He just felt like it.
But before you start looking at your 18-year olds in disgust, take into con-sideration that Justin built his highly advanced water treading machine for under $2,000 US dollars. He used mostly common items, like motorized scooter engines and 12v batteries. So simple, so cheap. Okay, now you can look in disgust. But remember that such talent at a young age is rare. Some 18-year olds are better off tak-ing basic college courses and playing X-Box in the evening. It’s not fl ashy. It’s not making the news. But plenty of kids that age are doing it and liv-ing a happy and healthy life. In the end, isn’t that all we really want for the youth? To live a satisfying life; one they won’t regret? Of course it is. Well, that, and we want some highly developed new technology.

HAVE A HAPPY AND
HEALTHYVACATION
Summer months are the perfect time to squeeze in a family vacation. Too often, however,
we return from our travels feeling exhausted and weary from an “un-fi t” vacation. The reasons are many: overeating, trying to log too many miles, sporadic sleep schedules and too little exercise.
Here are a few tips on how to com-bine fun activities and healthful eat-ing habits to help you and your fam-ily feel great, both on your trip and after your return home.
• Pack some healthful snacks for car travel. A small cooler or ice chest works great to keep beverages and perishable items cool and tasty. Pop-corn, pretzels, fresh or dried fruit,
yogurt cups, bagels, vegetable sticks, 100 percent fruit juice, whole-grain crack-ers and string cheese are all satisfying and healthy snack choic-es.
• If you’re traveling by plane, drink plen-ty of fl uids before, during and after your fl ight. Minimize any beverages contain-ing caffeine or alco-
hol, since these can dehydrate you. Bring your own bottle of water on board, if permitted.
• Stick with lower fat or light meals, and plan in advance if possible by either eating before getting on the road or stopping somewhere with choices other than just fast food. Try not to skip meals; you’ll be less likely to overeat later in the day.
• Restaurant eating can become mo-notonous and costly, and kids might not always appreciate the unfamil-iar menu options. Why not make a quick trip to the grocery store to pick up low-sugar breakfast cereal, fruit, milk and bagels for an easy nutritious meal you can put together anywhere.
• If you’re camping, plan for health-ful meals in advance. Think of My-Plate and include a variety of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, pro-tein and dairy with a long shelf-life, along with products that don’t re-quire refrigeration.

• Help your family meet their daily calcium requirements -- about three cups of milk, yogurt and cheese. For nutritious convenience, bring along grated cheese to add to spaghetti, tacos and burritos; dried milk to add to pancake mix; fl uid milk for cereal; and yogurt for snacks.
Here are some tips for staying ac-tive while on the road:
• Whether you’re camping or stay-ing at a resort, take advantage of the great outdoors and go on a nature walk or hike with the entire family. See who can spot the largest variety of birds along the way. You’ll reap the benefi ts of fi tness and each oth-er’s company.
• Take along sports equipment for the entire family. A badminton or croquet set, a volleyball or Frisbee, snorkeling gear (for any nearby wa-ter attractions) and tennis racquets, all of which add up to fun and ex-ercise.
• Ask your children to plan an ac-tivity the entire family can do while on vacation: a kickball game, catch, relay games or tag.
• Plan time for exercise -- a mid-day bike ride, morning nature walk or afternoon swim at the hotel pool will help you stay on the fi tness track.
• If you’re booking your vacation at a hotel, be sure and ask about avail-able fi tness facilities. Many have a pool for swimming laps, aerobics classes, weight-training equipment and jogging/walking maps of sur-rounding areas.
• Pack exercise clothing, walking or jogging shoes, comfy clothes and a bathing suit.
• If you’re doing a lot of driving, bring your bikes and stop for a ride through the countryside. Don’t for-get to pack your bike helmets and sports water bottles.
You won’t return home feeling the need to take a vacation if you plan ahead for a happy and healthy trip!

SNIPPETZ® PUZZLES AND TRIVIA
New DVD Releases forWeek of June 10, 2013
PICKS OF THE WEEK“Oz the Great and Powerful” (PG) -- Years before Dorothy and Toto landed over the rainbow, another Kansas yokel went on an adventure down the yellow brick road. Oscar Diggs (James Franco) is a small-time magician and part-time con man who hatches a silly scheme to attain greatness. He winds up in a colorful world where he befriends a fl ying monkey (voiced by Zach Braff) and meets three charming witches
(Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis).Of course it’s not going to measure up to the original. I’ll get that out of the way fi rst. There’s no music, for one. James Franco acts like he’s not supposed to carry the movie. Franco can give a real performance, but the guy isn’t convincing when he’s talk-ing to computer-generated critters.
“Snitch” (PG-13) -- When Jason (Rafi Gavron) is busted for receiving a shipment of ecstasy, the teenager faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years. Fortunately, his father, John (Dwayne “The Rock” John-son), is an enormous and caring fellow. To make a deal to get his son out of trouble, John volunteers to go undercover and to take down a drug ring. It’s a distressed-dad action fl ick with an overt message about the War on Drugs: It’s bad. Johnson puts in the effort, and you can see his skill here. He’s still a miscast -- an action-hero type
charged with playing an everyman -- but it’s an entertaining rental and somewhat unique for an action fl ick of its class.
“Wrong” (R) -- Do not expect this movie to make sense ... at all. It’s funny. But it won’t let you enjoy it as a casual experience. In “Wrong,” a man (Jack Plotnick) searches for his lost dog. Palm trees decide to be pines, offi ce cubicles are subject to torren-tial weather patterns, and people are just strange. There’s nothing really to “get” be-sides the idea that this movie wants to break the mold of the slice-of-life fi lm genre. It might frustrate some viewers. Scratching your head and going along with the absur-dity on screen is the best-case scenario for such an out-there fl ick.
DOG OF THE WEEK“Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters” (R) -- Hollywood seems to be under the impres-sion that you can take any fairy tale, make
it sexy and action-packed, and there you have a recipe for box-offi ce success. That is, unless the execution is dim and boring. In this pointless exercise, Hansel and Gre-tel (Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton) grow into vigilante witch hunters. Some-how, they discovered the secret to building shotguns, automatic weapons and stale one-liners well before the technology existed. If only cool props, costumes and sets could make a movie good. Too bad for this fl ick that script and performances matter a lot more.

• It was Israeli diplomat Abba Eban who made the following sage observation: “Men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all the other alternatives.”
• John Tyler fathered 15 children, more than any other U.S. president in history. He also holds the distinction of being the oldest president with living grandchildren. Tyler was born in 1790, and his son Lyon Gardin-er Tyler was born in 1853. Lyon Gardiner, in turn, had children at a rather advanced age for fatherhood. Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr. was born in 1924, when his father was 71, and Harrison Ruffi n Tyler was born in 1928. Both men were still living in 2012, and the younger of the brothers maintained the Tyler family historic home, Sherwood Forest.
• Those who study such things say that the energy expended by those chewing bubble gum every day could power Los Angeles
for the same length of time.
• The shamrock is often associated with Ireland, so you might be surprised to learn that it’s not the country’s national symbol. The offi cial symbol is actually a Celtic harp, which makes Ireland the only coun-try in the world to have a musical instru-ment for its national emblem.
• It’s been reported that Napoleon Bonaparte was afraid of cats.
• According to a recent survey of married people in the United States, fully one-quar-ter of respondents admitted to receiving a traffi c ticket and hiding from their spouse. Nearly that many (24 percent) said they had kept a car accident secret from their husband or wife.
• In an average year, there will be about 700 tornadoes in the United States.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Cheer up, Lamb. Your emotional impasse will lift once you allow your highly tuned sense of justice to guide you on what to do about an associate’s questionable behavior.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) News about a project you hoped to work on might need more clarifi cation. Take nothing just on faith. Draw up a list of questions, and insist on each being fully answered.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Giving your time to help others is fi ne. But don’t lose sight of your own needs. Make plans for an energy-restoring getaway with that very special person in your life.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Congratulate yourself on getting that diffi cult job done to everyone’s satisfaction. This could be the fi rst of many such challenges you might be offered down the line.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) With your enthusiasm soaring again, you feel ready to tackle a tough new assignment. Good for you! And remember: Don’t be too proud to accept help when it’s of-fered.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Cupid rules the week for sin-gle Virgos eager to make a romantic connection. Meanwhile, Virgo couples experience renewed commitment in their relationships.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Home and work issues vie for your attention through early next week. Rely on your Libran sense of balance to keep you from being overwhelmed by either side.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Creative projects might have to go on standby as you tackle other matters making de-mands on your time and energy. Things should ease by the middle of next week.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your energies are high, and so are your aspirations. But be careful not to let work dominate the week. It’s also important to spend time with family and friends.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) It’s a good time to set aside your pride and stop nursing those hurt feelings. In-stead, consider restoring relationships you want to have back in your life.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You might be miffed at not being shown more appreciation for your hard work. But don’t brood over it. Recognition comes in its own time and in its own way.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) With your inner creative juices starting to boil and bubble, this is a good time to launch a new arts-related project, or go back and restart the one you had set aside.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a way of seeing the best in people, which helps
encourage them to live up to your perceptions.

SAFETY IS BEHIND PRODUCT RECALLSProduct recalls are all about safety.
They’re not just about breakage or failure of a product to work prop-
erly -- potential injury or illness are behind most of the recalls. Fortunately we have a number of government agencies that over-see foods and products, and in many cases, it’s the manufacturer who issues the recall.
The Consumer Product Safety Commis-sion recently listed these recalls:
LED light bulbs -- 554,000 bulbs under the brand names Westinghouse, Defi nity, EcoSmart and Sylvania have been recalled by the manufacturer due to overheating. In some cases, there was damage to the socket and fi re in the surrounding area, including carpets and fl oors. Check www.lsgc.com/recall for specifi c wattages or call 855-574-2533. Toro Z Master Riding Mowers -- This is in addition to a similar recall of November 2012. The idler pulley can rub against the fuel tank, causing a potential fi re hazard. See www.toro.com for more information or call 855-493-0090.Louisville Slugger OneX Fastpitch soft-ball bat -- The barrel can come apart from the handle and hit people nearby. So far there have been 170 incidences. For more information, see www.slugger.com or call 800-282-2287.An even bigger recall category is food,
and there we have two government watch-dogs: the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. As with other products, it’s not always the inspectors who fi nd something wrong, but the manufactures themselves who issue a recall.Recent recalls for food items include: • Pork pie products, due to misbranding and undeclared allergens (milk)• Sesame paste, due to Salmonella• Frozen chicken quesadilla, due to E. coli• Vanilla and chocolate ice cream, due to undeclared allergens (almonds, coconut, soy),• Ready-to-eat meatballs, due to Listeria.The National Highway Traffi c Safety Ad-ministration covers recalls on more than just cars and trucks. A recent recall involved fi ve years of one brand of motorhome for steering wheels that detach from the mounting bracket, causing loss of steering. Another brand of motorhome was recalled for awning motors that cause the awning to unfurl while the vehicle is moving.Your best bet is to use a throwaway email address and sign up for email recall notifi -cations at all the agencies.Food Safety and Inspection Site: www.fsis.usda.govU.S. Department of Agriculture: www.usda.govU.S. Food and Drug Administration: www.fda.govNational Highway Traffi c Safety Adminis-tration: www.nhtsa.gov (or www.safercar.gov)Consumer Product Safety Commission: www.cpsc.gov

KIWANIS SUPPORTS SENIORSMonument, CO; May 22, 2013 Local area senior citizens are again assured that HAP’s popular Wednesday senior lun-cheon program will continue. Monument Hill Kiwanis recently donated $900 to Tri-Lakes Health Advocacy Partnership (HAP) to help keep the program active in 2013.
The donation was announced by the grant-ing foundation of Kiwanis: Monument Hill Foundation. The check was presented by Kiwanis member and Foundation Director for Granting and External Relations, Scott Ross, to HAP’s president, Ted Rinebarger.
While presenting the check at the May HAP board meeting, Ross explained that the Foundation’s goals are to support the community and children. He noted that HAP has several programs that provide di-rect support to the community seniors and the Foundation wanted to be part of that ef-fort through this donation to HAP.
In accepting the check on behalf of HAP, Rinebarger emphasized that HAP is an or-
ganization much like Kiwanis in that both are comprised of all volunteers with no paid staff, and both are focused on making our community a better place in which to live.
HAP’s weekly luncheons are open to all se-nior citizens in the Tri-Lakes area. The in-expensive luncheons are every Wednesday, beginning at noon, weather permitting. The luncheons are in the basement of the Lew-is-Palmer School District 38 administrative building (“Big Red”) located at 146 Jeffer-son Street in Monument. The nutritious meals are catered by Pinecrest Catering with table service provided by volunteers. They provide a popular way for senior citi-zens to socialize, meet new members of the community, and learn of other activities and news of interest to seniors.
Monument Hill Foundation is the grant-making resource of the Monument Hill Kiwanis Club. Kiwanis Club meets every Saturday morning at the Inn At Palmer Di-vide. More information about Monument Hill Kiwanis is available on the web at www.MonumentHillKiwanis.org.

...BRING CHRIST INTO OUR FINANCIAL LIVES
DOES YOURADVISOR RATE
AN “A”?School is out and the grades are in.
For some students the grades are looking pretty good, for others,
well let’s say, there is some room for im-provement. Regardless of the grades, the report card is an effective tool for reveal-ing how a student is doing academically. How’s your fi nancial advisor doing? What does the report card look like?
Here is a quick quiz to help you determine if your advisor is making the grade.
Defi ned Expectations – 20 points
Has your advisor defi ned your relation-ship, explaining what service is to be pro-vided, when and how, and what will be expected of you? If so, have those expec-tations been met?
Your Experience – 20 points
Do you feel comfortable with your advi-sor? Do you feel that your relationship is valued by your advisor? Does your advi-sor know who you are outside the fi nan-cial relationship, your interests, hobbies, and personal goals and dreams?
Advisor Responsiveness – 20 points
How easy is it to communicate with your advisor? Does your advisor return phone calls and answer email promptly? Is your advisor proactive – anticipating your con-cerns and providing information about the state of your fi nances before you have to ask?
Advisor Conduct – 20 points
Is your advisor respectful of you, your time, your needs, your family and your other associations? Does your advisor do what they say they are going to do?
Advisor Service – 20 points
Does your advisor understand what it is
you want out of life? Do you feel you are being listened to? Has time been made to explain fi nancial issues you do not fully understand as well as your fi nancial op-tions?
Quality – 20 points
Does your advisor recognize your unique needs and have they customized their ser-vices and advice to address those needs?
How did your advisor score? 108-120: That’s an “A” advisor. You are in a relationship you may well want to keep and nurture.
96-107: A “B” isn’t bad but you may want to discuss with you advisor how your needs can better be met and what can be done to improve the relationship.
84-95: A “C” leaves lots of room for im-provement. It might be time to start exam-ining your other options.
Below 94: Run, you are not receiving the benefi ts and service you are paying for and there are other advisors that could better fi ll your needs. Start looking now.
In determining the quality of a fi nancial advisor it is good to look past the numbers – it’s more than simply return on invest-ments. A great relationship with a great advisor involves trust, respect, empathy and communication. Make sure that the person you entrust your fi nancial future to understands who you are, your values and what it is you want out of life. Your fi nan-cial advisor should be your ally in your quest for fi nancial success.
“Mine is counsel and advice; mine is strength; I am understanding.” Proverbs 8:14
