“Years from now, after I’m gone, someone will listen to what I’ve done and know I was here. They may not know or care who I was, but they’ll hear my guitars speaking for me.” - Chet Atkins
The guitar is one of those instruments that hasn’t been given a lot of attention compared to others throughout music
history. It can be traced back to the 1500s to Spain and has evolved over the centuries into its many forms that included varying shapes and numbers of strings.
But, even more interesting than the evolution of the guitar is the evolution of the guitar player. Fernando Sor was the first to play solo guitar at the London

Philharmonic in 1817. In the late 19th century, Francisco Tarrega began writing music for the instrument as well as taking the bold step of transcribing the music of others. He also wrote the classical piece, “Recuerdos de la Alhambra,” purported by many to be one of the best classical pieces of all time.
Antonio de Torres, considered to be the father of the modern guitar, came along and changed the design of the guitar when he experimented with ways to increase the volume and the size of the instrument. His version of the guitar is most like what we have now. Around this time and into the early 20th century, young Andres Segovia burst onto the scene with his Spanish sounds. Like Tarrego, he also transcribed the music of some of the greats including Beethoven and Chopin. He influenced many guitarists and is likely most famous for bringing the instrument to a high level of respect and popularity all over the world.
FAST FORWARD TOTHE 20TH CENTURY
Inarguably, the guitar loves the blues and some of America’s most famous rock bands and guitarists of all genres have had strong blues influences.
ROBERT JOHNSON One of the first musicians discussed in a music appreciation class is Robert Johnson. His life was short-lived – 1911-1938, but he recorded 29 songs between 1936 and 1937 alone. This poor African-American boy grew up playing the blues and was eventually known as King of the Delta Blues. Some of his famous tunes include Cross Road Blues, Love In Vain, Hellhound On My Trail, Walking Blues and Sweet Home Chicago. He not only played a sweet guitar, but he was a mesmerizing singer. He performed in juke joints and on street corners in cities all around the country. Performers such as Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones band have recorded his songs
and are not shy about giving credit to Johnson for his contributions.
MUDDY WATERSBorn as McKinley Morganfield from the Mississippi Delta, Muddy Waters (1915-1983) elevated the amplified guitar sounds through the blues. His career took off when he headed off to Chicago to make his mark. When he toured England in 1958, it was reported to be the first time amplified music was played on the other side of the pond. Rumor has it that a music critic attending the concert had to write his review in the restroom because it was so loud. His music has been covered by anyone who is anybody in the music world from Chuck Berry to the Rolling Stones to Eric Clapton. Some of his recordings include Whole Lotta Love, Rollin’ Stone (from which the band was named after), Hoochie Coochie Man, I’m Ready and Louisiana Blues.

CHUCK BERRYOne could say Chuck Berry, born in St. Louis in 1926, took Muddy Waters and ran with him all the way to his first Rock and Roll recording. Berry met Waters in Chicago where he introduced him to Chess Records. Berry was told to come back later that week for an audition and the rest was history. He recorded Maybellene which hit No. 1 on the R&B charts and #5 on the Pop charts. His hits included Brown-Eyed Man, Roll Over Beethoven, Memphis and Johnny B. Goode. He’s been called the Father of Rock and Roll with music that sings to many generations.
CARL PERKINSCarl Lee Perkins (1932-1998) brought rockabilly to its heyday. His mix of the rock and roll style of Chuck Berry and country influenced musicians the likes of Eric Clapton, John Fogerty, Rick Nelson and Bob Dylan. Paul McCartney once said, “If there were no Carl Perkins, there would be no Beatles.” In 1955 he released Blue Suede Shoes which hit the top of both rock and roll and country charts. While traveling to New York to appear and perform on the Ed Sullivan and Perry Como shows, Perkins was severely injured in an automobile accident. While recovering, Elvis Presley recorded/covered his Blue Suede Shoes, bringing it up in the charts once again. The flip side was Honey Don’t, which was eventually recorded by the Beatles. Perkins continued to perform from time to time after his accident and his influence did not go unnoticed.
B.B. KINGThe King of Blues, born Riley B. King in 1925, continues to entertain around the world. Some of his classics include Why I Sing the Blues, Please Love Me, The Thrill is Gone, Sweet Sixteen, and Payin’ the Cost to be the Boss. He has been inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He has also received honorary doctorate degrees from Tougaloo College, Yale University, Berklee College of Music, Rhodes College of Memphis, Mississippi Valley State University and Brown University. In 1949 he quickly abandoned stage when the club he was
playing in caught fire after two men knocked over a barrel of kerosene while fighting over a woman named Lucille. King ran back into the building to rescue his guitar, later naming it Lucille. He once said that he named that and each subsequent guitar he owned the same name to “remind me never to do a thing like that again.”
ERIC CLAPTON Inspired by bluesmen like Buddy Guy, Freddie King and B.B. King, Eric Clapton found a unique sound that earned him a reputation in the British music scene. He played with The Yardbirds in England, but left in 1965 as he didn’t like the band moving its sound in a pop direction. While with the Yardbirds, he was dubbed the nickname “Slowhand.” At such time a guitar string would break during performance, he would stop playing while he slowly changed out the string, still on stage. The audience would slowly clap while he made the switch, thus “Slowhand.” Clapton is well known for his association with the band Cream, which only performed together for three years. Clapton continues to perform as does B.B. King and sometimes along with King. Some of Clapton’s more well-known works include Tears in Heaven, Layla and Alberta. Clapton, like King, are performers who seem to just keep getting better and better every year. To a guitar music lover, a Clapton concert is not to be missed. Clapton also became great friends with George Harrison.
A LITTLE BIT COUNTRYChester Burton Atkins (1924–2001), aka Chet Atkins, was the creator of the smooth country music style known as Nashville sound. His love for many different genres of music earned him much criticism over the years for not being ‘country enough.’ He had a unique picking style on the guitar that earned him 14 Grammy Awards and eventually earned him a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He played everything from Johnson Rag to Danny Boy to Malaguena, earning him the respect of some of the best musicians in the world. Some of his hits include I’ll See You In My Dreams, Fire In His Eyes, I Am a Cowboy and Corinna Corinna.

SNIPPETZ® WEEKLY MAGAZINE
Many people hear the word joy and they form a definition or picture in their mind. Many times those
pictures or definitions are based on child-hood teachings. Those teachings could be verbal or illustrative through observing other people’s actions. Are the pictures and definitions correct?
One definition of joy that is common is to be happy and smiling all the time. Another definition of joy that is common is to enjoy this activity or that activity, such as a wed-ding, party, vacation, or other event. Both definitions have pieces of the joy defini-tion, but not entirely.
Joy is the energy of knowing exactly whom you are as a soul, why you are here (your pathway), and you are living your pathway with passion, even with possible ridicule. Joy is being purely content with yourself, your passion, your dreams, and your life. Joy is living with integrity and purity of the heart. In this definition, a person can be happy and smile a lot or the person can truly enjoy certain events. Joy is not fleet-ing; it does simply dissipate into depres-
LIFE ENERGYFLOW - TAI YI
JOY
sion. True joy is lasting. It remains in the heart.
Living and having joy does not mean you never have a challenging day, a challeng-ing conversation, or a challenging event. It does not mean you are perfect or that you have healed any and all issues. When one achieves a state of joy, it is because he or she has attained a level of healing where he or she knows self and lives his or her pathway with passion. Along that pathway is the discovery of more parts of self and healing. Sometimes, that can be take a challenging turn, but here is the difference: when a person who has attained joy takes a challenging turn on the healing pathway, he or she works with the challenge or the cause of the challenge and continues on the journey. A person who has not attained joy, but fleeting feelings of happiness here and there may take that challenge and become a victim of it and go backwards on the jour-ney to heal. The joy attained is strength that the person has attained through the healing process and it continues the journey of the healing process.
Life Energy Flow Tai Yi can assist people in attaining that level of healing to get to that place of joy. Not fleeing moments of happiness, but pure joy. Tai Yi can assist people to uncover what is blocking joy and passion for life so that the person can work with and heal the blocks and then begin to feel joy. Tami Urbanek

• It was American humorist Evan Esar who defined a zoo as “an excel-lent place to study the habits of hu-man beings.”
• The New York Times Best Seller list was first published on April 9, 1942. Since that time, only eight au-thors have managed to have books place No. 1 on both the fiction and nonfiction lists. Those who have ac-complished that feat include Ernest Hemingway, Jimmy Buffett, William Styron, Dr. Seuss and John Stein-beck.
• If you’re planning a trip to New Orleans, you might want to keep in mind the following law: It’s illegal in that city to curse a firefighter while he or she is engaged in official du-ties.
• America’s first vending machines were found in New York City train
stations; they dispensed gum.
• The European sturgeon (also known as the beluga sturgeon) is the source of the highly coveted beluga caviar, which is the world’s most expensive, bringing up to $5,000 per pound. This sturgeon can live more than 100 years and is the largest freshwater fish in the world; the record holder, caught in 1827, was 24 feet long and weighed 3,460 pounds.
• In a 1982 issue of the magazine American Film, a writer named Chuck Ross claimed that he re-typed the screenplay to the 1942 film “Casablanca,” changing only the title and one of the character’s names, and submitted it to 217 agen-cies. Of the 85 who responded, only eight recognized it as “Casablanca,” though it seemed familiar to another 25. Three of the agencies thought it might be commercially viable, while one thought it should be turned into a novel. The Oscar-wining screenplay was rejected outright by 38 of the agencies.

MORE GUITAR LEGENDSGeorge Harrison (1943-2001), known as the quiet Beatle, created the distinctive guitar sound for the band. Although not fast or flashy, he was a master of the guitar, playing a 12-string, slide and sitar. He used his 12-string with the strings reversed when recording A Hard Day’s Night, which became his signature sound. He used a classical, nylon-stringed acoustic guitar early on in the Beatles’ recording days to record a very long solo in And I Love Her.
Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones developed a guitar style all his own, influenced by Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters. He experiment with what’s called open G tuning, mixing rhythm sounds with the lead playing commonly heard from Waters’ guitar. His famous sound is clearly heard in Honky Tonk Women, Brown Sugar and Start Me Up.
Carlos Santana was a dishwasher and street performer. He eventually teamed up with David Brown and Gregg Rolie to form the Santana Blues Band. His music is a unique blend of rock, salsa, blues, jazz and African rhythms. He continues to play his guitar with his band now with its name shortened to Santana.
Eddie Van Halen, born in Amsterdam in 1955, moved to Pasadena, Calif. with his family when he was 7 years old. He started his music life by playing the piano, switched to drums and eventually picked up a guitar. Once he did, that was all she wrote because that instrument practically became one of his body parts – he never put it down. He emulated Eric Clapton. Gene Simmons of the band KISS discovered Van Halen’s band of the same name
and put up money to record them. Their first recordings were House of Pain and Runnin’ With the Devil. The next year they recorded They Really Got Me. Eddie played guitar for Michael Jackson’s Beat It recording. Some of their earlier hits were Jump and Hot for Teacher. The Van Halen band had its ups and downs through the years. His son Wolfang joined the resurrected band in 2008 as a bass player. Van Halen said: “To have my son follow in my footsteps on his own, without me pushing him into it, is the greatest feeling in the world.” And who could feel “pushed” into playing in a rock and roll band? It’s not exactly daddy’s hardware store.
SOME FAMOUS GUITARS“No. 1” was owned by Stevie Ray •Vaughn, a hard driving guitar man. His fingers would bleed from playing on thick gauge strings. No. 1 was buried with him when he died from a helicopter crash.“Frankenstein” was a homemade •guitar built by Eddie Van Halen. It was red with white and black stripes created with bicycle tape. “Red Special” was also a homemade •guitar built by Brian May and his father from a 200-year-old fireplace mantle. “Space Bass” is owned by Bootsy •Collins and created by Larry Pless. It was featured on the 1976 cover of “Stretching Out.” It was stolen once, but because the instrument was so famous, the thief was unable to unload it because everyone knew from where it came.The “Muddywood” is owned by Billy •Gibbons, named after Muddy Waters. He had it built from a piece of wood from Muddy Waters’ porch.George Harrison named his Les Paul •guitar “Lucy” after Lucille Ball. Eric Clapton gave him the guitar and played it at Harrison’s request when he recorded While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: The recep-tionist at my doctor’s office called to give me the report on a mammogram I had taken. She said that it showed cal-cifications and that the doctor wanted it repeated in six months. Why? Are calcifications indications of cancer? If they are, I’d like to get this taken care of immediately. I am becoming a nervous wreck thinking about this. -- H.M.
ANSWER: When tests don’t provide a definite answer, everyone suffers -- the patient, the doctor of the patient and the doctor who interpreted the test. Calcifications are the perfect example. They’re calcium specks. When the doc-tor interpreting the mammogram sees them, he or she bases their importance on their number, their shape, their size and the pattern they make. With those criteria, the doctor usually can say whether they indicate cancer.Noncancerous calcifications might result from a bump to the breast to which you paid little attention. Or a minor breast infection could have caused them.If the doctor feels that evidence points more in the direction of cancer, then he or she will ask for an immediate biop-sy. If the doctor feels more certain that they are not cancer signs but is not com-pletely certain about that call, a repeat examination at a later date is a reason-able position to take. Neither the inter-preting doctor nor your personal doctor would ask for a delay if there was any chance that the inaction would harm your health.The pamphlet on breast cancer gives the approach to diagnosing and treat-
ing it. Readers can obtain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 1101W, 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 delivery.
***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My thighs are loaded with cellulite. What is it, and how can I get rid of it? -- M.T.
ANSWER: Cellulite is beneath-the-skin fat that forms small puckers due to crisscrossing fi-bers similar to but not the same as scar-tissue fibers. The fiber-puckered fat gives the involved
skin a lumpy-bumpy appearance. Laser treatments, radiofrequency wave treatments and ultrasound have been used for removing cellulite. These are cosmetic procedures and likely are not covered by insurance. Innumerable creams are advertised for cellulite re-duction, but I can’t tell you if they work. I would be cautious about trying any that are costly. Weight loss makes cel-lulite less obvious. You are best served by consulting a dermatologist.
***DEAR DR. DONOHUE: For the past several days, my left eyelid has been twitching. There’s no pain. It does not affect my vision. Does it mean any-thing? -- T.P.
ANSWER: Not usually. Eyelid twitch-es result from spasms of muscles con-trolling eyelid movement. It’s intermit-tent and lasts for a few days, at most. Fatigue, stress and caffeine have been implicated as causes. I have had such twitching, at times when I was neither tired nor stressed nor drinking caffeine. If the twitching is bothersome, soak a washcloth in warm water and apply it to the closed eyelid. If twitching lasts lon-ger than a week or two, see the family doctor.
***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.

FRIENDLIER ANNUALMEDICARE REPORT
Medicare is coming out with a new version of our annual report, the Medicare Summary Notice.
Medicare spent 18 months asking ques-tions of some of us who receive the reports, and then redesigned it with our suggestions in mind. It’s done a good job.
The new report, part of the “Your Medicare Information: Clearer, Simpler, At Your Fingertips” initiative, will make it easier to understand all of our benefit and services information. It will be easier to determine if fraud has occurred, or if we need to file an appeal for a claim.
New items on the reports will be:
• Larger text fonts.
• A notice about checking our information for potential fraud and details on how to do that, and a reminder to check the services listed and the amounts paid.
• “Consumer-friendly descriptions” of medical procedures.
• A list of doctors we’ve seen, clearly list-ed, along with the dates.
• Deductible status, with the amount of the Part B Deductible that has been met for the year.
• Claims status, with information about whether all services were approved. If the answer is “no,” it tells what amount might be billed to us.
• Preventive services that are available.
For now, this new report is available only online, but starting in 2013 we’ll receive these reports quarterly by mail. To see a sample of the old versus new reports, go online to mymedicare.gov and click on “Making Medicare claims and benefits statement clearer, simpler.” In the article there is a link to a side-by-side compari-son. (A hint: This shows up as a very small graphic in a .pdf file. Click the “plus” sign at the top of the screen to enlarge the pic-ture.)

• On April 13, 1742, George Friedrich Handel’s “Messiah” premieres in Dublin. Although singing the oratorio has become a Christmas tradition, the Messiah received its world premiere during the Christian sea-son of Lent. Handel composed the score for Messiah in just 24 days.
• On April 14, 1818, Noah Webster, a Yale-educated lawyer with an avid interest in lan-guage and education, publishes his Ameri-can Dictionary of the English Language. The dictionary, which took him more than two decades to complete, introduced more than 10,000 “Americanisms.”
• On April 12, 1861, the Civil War begins when Confederate shore batteries under General P.G.T. Beauregard open fire on Union-held Fort Sumter in South Carolina’s Charleston Bay. During the next 34 hours, 50 Confederate guns and mortars launched more than 4,000 rounds at the poorly sup-plied fort.
• On April 10, 1906, O. Henry’s second short-story collection, “The Four Million,”
is published. O. Henry was the pen name adopted by William Sydney Porter. Porter began writing in the late 1880s but didn’t apply himself seriously until 1898, when he was jailed for embezzling from a bank in Austin, Texas.
• On April 15, 1924, Rand McNally releases its first comprehensive road atlas. The first version was called the Rand McNally Auto Chum. Today Rand McNally is the world’s largest maker of atlases in print and elec-tronic media.
• On April 11, 1945, the American Third Army liberates the Buchenwald concen-tration camp near Weimar, Germany. Bu-chenwald will be judged second only to Auschwitz in the horrors it imposed on its prisoners. Among those saved by the Ameri-cans was Elie Wiesel, who would go on to win the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.
• On April 9, 1969, the Chicago Eight, in-dicted on federal charges of conspiracy to cross state lines with intent to incite a riot at the 1968 Democratic convention in Chi-cago, plead not guilty. The trial turned into a circus as the defendants and their attorneys used the court as a platform to attack Presi-dent Richard Nixon, the Vietnam War, rac-ism and oppression.

GET YOUR PLATE INTO
SHAPEWhen it comes to exercise, the
phrase “I need to get into shape” is a familiar one. But what about
getting your dinner plate into shape?
The U.S. Department of Agriculture last year released MyPlate as the new food-group symbol to provide Americans with an easy-to-understand visual of what their plates should look like at meals. Eating is meant to be enjoyable, but it’s important to be mindful of the portion size and con-tent of foods. Find creative ways to make your plate look like the MyPlate symbol, with half of the plate consisting of fruits and vegetables, one-quarter lean protein and one-quarter whole grains, with a side of low-fat dairy.
Here are some tips to get you started with shaping up your plate:
• Think about the size of plate you use when eating. Does it resemble a serving platter or a saucer? Try switching to a 9- or 10-inch plate. If that still looks large and provides too much food, decrease the size again. Your plate will look fuller even though you are actually eating less food, thus lowering caloric intake and assisting in weight
loss. Pile your plate with nutrient-dense, low-calorie foods like fruits, vegetables, lean meat, beans and whole grains.
• Sometimes our eyes deceive us when it comes to filling our plates. We think we only ate one cup of ice cream when we re-ally consumed three cups. Measure out dif-ferent foods into the dishes you use at home - fill your cereal bowl with one cup of dry cereal, put one-half cup of brown rice on your plate and fill your favorite glass with 8 ounces. Note how the different portions look in or on your own dishes.
This also gives you a reference to use when eating away from home. Portion sizes at restaurants are typically much larger than recommended and provide extra calories, fat and sodium. Consider preparing meals at home to have more control over what in-gredients are being used in your food (i.e. less salt, less butter, leaner meat) and the portion size served.
• Beverages also make up our “plate.” The type of beverage and amount consumed can

SPICED PORK WITH SPINACH SALAD
Crisp flatbread can round out this satisfying salad supper. You can serve the seasoned pork as an entree with the salad topped with sliced oranges along with a side of brown rice or whole-wheat noodles, if you wish.
1 (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed1/2 tablespoon Sriracha (hot chile sauce, such as Huy Fong)1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning1 teaspoon garlic powder1 teaspoon onion powder1/4 teaspoon saltCooking oil spray3 cups baby spinach leaves2 cups thinly sliced Napa cabbage1 cup red bell pepper strips1/4 cup low-fat sesame ginger dressing (such as Newman’s Own)
1. Cut pork crosswise into 1/2-inch slic-es; flatten each slice slightly with hand. Combine Sriracha, sugar, poultry season-ing, garlic and onion powder, and salt in a bowl, mix well. Add in pork, tossing to coat well.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over me-dium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add pork mixture to pan, and cook 3 minutes on each side or until done. Re-move from heat; keep warm.
3. Combine spinach, cabbage and bell pep-per in a large bowl. Add sesame ginger dressing; toss well. Arrange 1 1/2 cups spinach mixture in each of 4 shallow bowls; top each serving with 3 ounces pork.

New DVD Releases forWeek of April 9, 2012PICKS OF THE WEEK
“The Iron Lady” (PG-13) -- Meryl Streep pulls a full-force Streep-a-thon in this scat-tershot biopic about Margaret Thatcher, England’s controversial conservative prime minister. Framed by the quasi-coherent mut-terings of the elderly Thatcher in her late-life mental decline, the film shows a highlight reel of Thatcher’s life and career.This flick managed to rake in another Oscar for the veteran actress, but that about sums up the appeal. Those unfamiliar with Thatch-
er’s bumpy political career won’t get much enlightment from the muddled narrative. If the Academy Award brought this film to your attention, then you pretty much know every-thing about it you need to know: Streep is a good actress, even when she’s in a boring and obscure movie.
“Miss Representation” -- Teenagers spend an incredible amount of time in front of the television or computer screen, in addition to being bombarded with advertising over every inch of the real world. This documentary ex-plores how women are portrayed through the media, and how that affects the development of young people. It’s not a singular study, but a general look at the role of women in the media, all punctuated with statistics. The film could be seen as an introduction into a broad and relevant discussion.
DOGS OF THE WEEK“The Darkest Hour” (PG-13) -- A band of
merry young folk goes to Moscow for a good time only to have their party crashed by a bunch of invisible aliens. The movie also is under attack by invisible character develop-ment and an invisible budget. Folks get turned into ash upon contact with translucent alien blobs, and any dread or excitement quickly evaporates as the movie becomes a silly, over-serious “Ghostbusters” cousin when the characters start fighting back.Each character might as well have a red shirt with a number on it, as the order in which the unlikable protagonists are killed off is clear before the aliens even make their invisible appearance.
“Animals United” -- This kids’ flick stands out from the pile of generic talking-CG-ani-mal-adventures shoveled out by Hollywood, but only because this one is from Europe. So lacking in imagination and storytelling that it may as well be “Madagascar 6: Animals with Voices You Don’t Recognize.”
The plot has something to do with a lack of water, but this isn’t “Rango.” The animals make their foray into the land of people, but this isn’t any of the myriad movies in which that happens either. It’s just a weirdly famil-iar and wholly forgettable film. If you’ve run out of movies to show the kids, and “Animals United” is the only one left at bat, just let them play outside -- they might find an inter-esting stick or something.

APRIL 9, 2012
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Avoid having someone else take credit for the project you started by finishing it yourself. Then it will be you lovely Lambs who will be wearing those well-deserved laurels.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The facts about a new opportunity are still emerging. Wait until they’re all out in the open, and then use your keen business sense to help make the right decision.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel confused, even hurt by a friend who sud-denly puts distance between you. If she or he won’t discuss it, don’t push it. An explanation should come in time.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your willing-ness to be part of the team opens doors that had been shut to you. Keep them open by keeping your promises even when your com-mitment seems to be wavering.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Congratulations. You’re really getting things done to purr-fec-tion. And don’t forget to take a catnap now and again to keep those energy levels up and bristling for action.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your “plain-talking” honesty is admirable. But sometimes sharp words can leave painful scars. Be careful that what you say doesn’t come back to hurt you.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A stress-filled period takes a positive turn as you deal with the underlying problem. Act now to avoid a recurrence by changing some basic rules in your relationship.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your rising energy levels make it easier for you to achieve some important objectives. This could lead to a big boost in how you’re perceived, both at home and on the job.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A changing picture begins to emerge as you learn more about an offer that seemed so right but could be so wrong. Look to a trusted adviser for guidance.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Spiritual aspects are strong. Take time to reflect on the path you’re on and where you hope it will lead you. It’s also a good time to reach out to loved ones.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You could be assuming far too many respon-sibilities, whether it’s at work or in personal matters. Be careful that you’re not weighed down by them.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You’re getting closer to your goals. And since noth-ing succeeds like success (or the promise thereof), don’t be surprised to find new sup-porters swimming alongside you.
BORN THIS WEEK: You are always the first to try new ventures and confront new challenges. You inspire others with your courage to follow your bold example.

FATTERPAYCHECKS?
MANY ARECLUELESS
The payroll tax reduction has been extended under the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of
2012. Two percent of your deduction for Social Security (4.2 percent, down from 6.2 percent) has been picked up by the gov-ernment again, and that amount will stay in your paycheck. If you’re self-employed, your portion of self-employment tax drops from 12.4 percent to 10.4 percent, to ac-count for that 2 percent.Workers who earn $50,000 would have seen $1,000 in their paychecks over the year the reduction has been in place. Divided by 24 (assuming twice-monthly pay periods) and that would have come to around $40 per paycheck. If your annual pay is $30,000, your savings from the reduction is $50 per month.Oddly enough, a poll by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling showed that 66 percent of workers didn’t know their paychecks were larger, even though the extra amount had been in paychecks for a year. The poll shows what the rest of polled workers did with that money:--Saved most of it: 3 percent--Caught up on past-due bills: 8 percent--Increased retirement contributions: 4 per-cent--Bought something special: 1 percent--Paid off debt: 18 percentNFCC believes that the extension gives companies a chance to educate employees about using that money. For example, they believe that workers who aren’t distracted by financial concerns perform better and don’t receive collection calls at work.It’s believed that the government would like us to spend the “windfall” as a means of boosting the economy. However, you are the one who needs to decide how best to use that money.First, be aware of the additional amount in your paycheck. If the reduction isn’t fur-ther extended next year, that amount could vanish from your income. Use a calculator online to learn just what extra amount is included in your check.Second, determine what gets you the most return for that money. For example, if you put the money in savings, you’ll likely earn less than 1 percent interest. If you use the money to pay off a credit card (adding the additional money to every month’s pay-ment), you’ll save the interest you would have paid on the balance.

SEASONS AND QUESTIONS
By Nicholas James
If you’ve lived in Colorado for even a couple of years, you’ve found out by now, that spring and fall weather are
hard to come by. There are the notable winter days; blankets of snow and icicles painting our forests. Then there are the summer ones; it gets quite sunny here from time to time. Even last week we had just 48 hours separate 80 degree weather and what was (perhaps) the last snow storm of the season. The question here is, if summer begins early in Colorado, why can’t the fun that goes with it?
Pinz Bowling Center believes the answer to
that question is, “there is no reason”. That’s why every Friday and Saturday night, the party at Pinz is being pumped up to the maximum 8th power times a million. Yeah, I know, it’s so fun there’s math involved. If you haven’t heard yet, every Friday and Saturday Pinz Play is starting early, at 6pm (2-hours of bowling and shoes for $10). To as to that, laser bowling and live music in Rodz Bar both kick off at 9pm. But wait, there’s more! Pinz newest promotion (and the entire purpose of this article you’re reading) will blow your socks, flip-flops, shoes, or any other foot attire off. Every week bowlers will walk in to Pinz with the opportunity to win from the new Pinz’ Prize Board. Different local business’ will donate coupons, discounts, and special of-fers to the cause, giving weekend bowling patrons a chance to win wacky prizes from virtually anyone in the Tri-lakes area! It re-
quires some skill, a little luck, and a lot of showing up.
Its things like this that make you wonder: what if you lived in a state with a definitive spring season? Would you ever have spring fun? Would there be a Pinz? Would you even exist? I, friend, cannot answer these questions for you. They’re far to complicat-ed, and I don’t have enough time or words to discuss the space-time continuum with you. I do have time for one thing though; one last, cheap, glorious plug. Come to Pinz this Friday or Saturday, and experi-ence summer fun coming early at Pinz.
