“Be thou the rainbow in the storms of life. The evening beam that smiles the clouds away and tints tomorrow with prophetic ray.”

– Lord Byron ROY G BIV. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. For many of us, we learned this acronym as a way to keep straight all the colors of a rainbow, starting from the outside and working in. Speaking of rainbows, these beautiful phenomena have come to signify more than just a pretty arc in the sky on a rainy day. In fact, they featured prominently in mythology and superstition. Maybe it’s because they aren’t as easy to come by in nature as you may assume.

There’s a formula to the creation of a rainbow. All the variables have to align just right. So when they do, people assume there must be something more powerful in the works. And naturally, Snippetz became curious and decided we needed to know: what is it about the rainbow that has captured people’s attention for so long? What makes them so special and why have civilizations searched for their meaning for so long? Read on and you can go over the rainbow with us to find out!

Although rainbows might appear to be more magic than science, that’s not actually the case. Rainbows are made when light strikes a raindrop at the precise angle of 42 degrees.

The light entering each water droplet is refracted and then reflected by the back of the droplet. As the light leaves the droplet, it is refracted again at multiple angles. The multiple angles at which the light leaves the water droplet causes the light spectrum to separate out into the observable colors of a rainbow.

sprinkled in the rocks below by the plants being sold last year. Pansies and violas will often come back the following year from seed and will even bloom in the winter if not buried in snow. Some varieties can go as high as 11,000 feet in elevation. In cooler climates where the summer heat isn’t as intense they will continue to bloom all summer long but, pansies generally don’t like extended periods of high heat and will perk up again in the fall. Many new varieties have increased heat tolerance compared to their older relatives.

TOUGH AS A PANSY!

E

ver wonder why a person who is thought to be weak is often called a pansy? I sure have. In fact it really struck me when I noticed there were pansies blooming in the rocks outside the garden center in February. They were blooming away while every other plant around was fast asleep. All of these tough looking trees and shrubs are sleeping through the cold and snow while these sweet, delicate looking pansies are braving it all to show their bright little faces. In fact I would love to be considered a pansy! Both sweet and innocent looking, but will stand up to even the harshest of environments. That’s quite the complement I think, and also why I love to grow pansies.

The pansies blooming in the rocks, by the way, weren’t even planted there. They started as just a few wind delivered seeds

LONELINESS: THE CONSTANT HEARTACHE THREE REASONS WHY YOU ARE SHY AND THE ONE THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

By Dr. Ron Ross

“I’m shy. That’s just the way I am,” said a young lady I spoke to recently. To her, shyness is in the same category as the color of her eyes or the size of her feet – something she cannot change. But she can change, and so can you. You do not have to be stranded alone in the corner of a room while everyone else has a good time. Here are three reasons why you are shy and one thing you can do about it.

Reason 1. You have become comfortable with your shyness. You protect yourself in a cocoon of self-doubt, unworthiness and insecurity, and it feels safe. It is like an old pair of shoes; worn, ugly and disintegrating, but you are used to them.

If you bought a new pair you would have to break them in and they might pinch or hurt. And what if you didn’t like the way they looked or maybe they wouldn’t go with your favorite outfit? It is too easy to stay with the old ones – no risk, no unpleasant pain, no change. Your shyness is comfortable and your misery is manageable.

Reason 2. You have convinced yourself you must be perfect before you can be personable. You think that there are certain characteristics you must have that will make yourself feel secure enough to take the risk to speak up and be noticed. Since perfection never comes, friendship doesn’t either. Unfortunately, perfection in human relationships is not possible because humans are not perfect. Michael J. Fox said, “Perfection is God’s business.”

Reason 3. You are concerned about rejection. You fear being rebuffed because you are unsure of your social skills and

lack confidence in your intellect. Social skills, like all other skills, improve with practice and weaken when unused.

Shyness inhibits the exercise of even the most elementary social skills such as a gentle smile, a warm “hello”, or a soft touch.

THE FAILURE SYDROME

Now, the one thing you can do about your shyness. You can re-direct your compassion. Compassion is shared distress combined with the desire to help relieve the distress. It is feeling the other person’s pain, understanding the other person’s experience. Notice the three reasons for shyness are all about how you feel, what you experience, and the way you think.

his or her own definitions of success? What if, during the attempt at creating different success definitions, the child is told he or she is wrong and that turns into a belief that he or she is a failure?

E

xamples of success and failure surround us all the time. Within the media, the family unit, the professional work place, and in the mainstream public, we can see the many examples of both success and failure. These examples can lead to false thoughts/beliefs about a person’s own worth regarding success and failure.

Stop thinking only about you and become concerned about the feelings of other people. You will be amazed how quickly you will be welcome in any company once they find out you are interested in their happiness more than your own. Re-direct your compassion and you will become a friendship magnet. Magic will happen when you forget yourself and put first the wants and needs of the other person.

What if there was a world where success and failure did not exist? What if, instead, we lived in a world where life is simply about exploring, living, loving, and learning? What if there was no such thing as judgment and fear? Many would view the answers as an impossible reality. Maybe it is and maybe it is not. One way to remove judgment and fear is for all to be invested in their own healing process. A step in that direction is to examine the false beliefs around success and failure.

Walk into any room and know this: everyone has a problem, everyone struggles with something. It may not be some earth-shattering crisis, but everyone has a hidden indulgence or a point of pain.

If they sense you care about them, they will like you. If they think you are there only for your own benefit, then your journey to friendship will be long and frustrating.

Know and understand everyone lives with some degree of pain and sorrow and be the person ready to listen, eager to help.

Much of the time the beliefs around success and failure are based on what someone else decided was an example of success and failure. For example, in one family a successful child may be one who earns excellent grades, is popular, does well in sports or other school activities, listens to directions, and goes on to earn many dollars in a well respected career field.

Become famous for caring and you will never want for friends. Or as the songwriter put it, “Make someone happy, make just one someone happy, and you will be happy too!”

In another family, a successful child may be one who gives away his or her birthday and holiday gifts to the needy, spends days off from school at the soup kitchen, and knows the value of recycling. These are two broad examples, and different families will have different definitions of success. But what if a child does not follow those examples set forth? What if the child decides to create

What if the child grows into an adult who has formed the false beliefs that anything he or she does will be a failure, so “why bother trying”? The individual who carries a thought pattern similar to this may find him or herself attempting different careers, academic programs, relationships, and/or living locations all the time. The person may find difficulty in identifying what he or she really wants in life and simply exists without purpose. For this issue, Emotions of Failure Tai Yi treatment is appropriate.

Emotion of failure is a pattern because the person has formed an addiction to failure or the results of failure. “Life is a struggle” keeps one caught up in the belief system that continues to re-create pain. This person will justify failure and blame. The person may have a victim mentality. This treatment assists people to become aware of emotions of failure and who continue to ‘fail’ at whatever they are attempting to do or pretend to heal. This treatment will bring into awareness the origin of a pattern and they can experience a release.

If people carry energy of sabotage, it is a 24-hour process, not selective. This treatment will address the sabotage. Before, during and after the treatment, the client will receive guidance in what steps to take to optimize the energy of the treatment.

The treatment works directly with the meridian system of the body to address failure patterns and failure addiction in order to begin allowing a release of those patterns and addictions.

Tinnitus maskers, devices worn like a hearing aid, emit a constant sound that dulls tinnitus.

HEAD AND EAR NOISE DRIVES PEOPLE CRAZY DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have tinnitus.

It sounds like roaring in my head. I take gabapentin for it. Do you know of anything else for it? -- E.A. ANSWER: You have an affliction that would drive me crazy -- tinnitus, a constant noise in one or both ears or the head that people describe in a variety of ways as ringing, whistling, buzzing, hissing or roaring.

An estimate of the number of Americans suffering from tinnitus (TIN-uh-tiss or tuhNITE-iss) is somewhere between 16 million and 60 million.

Tinnitus mostly happens to older people whose hearing is diminishing. Why tinnitus arises in them is explained by the fact that head noises are generated constantly.

Outside noise entering the ears obliterates these internal noises. When deafness approaches, the volume of external noises greatly lessens, and the internal noises then become prominent and nerve-racking. If your hearing is growing dimmer, a hearing aid will help you hear more clearly and will dampen your tinnitus.

Other causes of tinnitus are as banal as a wax impaction in the eardrum, something easily taken care of by the family doctor.

Drugs like aspirin and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (Aleve, Advil, Motrin) can bring on tinnitus if they are constantly used.

If a cause cannot be determined, then other approaches have to be taken. A bedside radio tuned to a station that plays the kind of music you like can reduce the volume of tinnitus. Nighttime is the worst time for it.

Do get in touch with the American Tinnitus Association. It will provide you with a wealth of information on tinnitus and its treatments. You can reach the association online at www.ata.org. If you don’t have a computer, surely a friend, neighbor or relative does and can hook you up with the association. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Please discuss liver cysts. Two CT scans, taken years apart, revealed two liver cysts. I was told not to be concerned. Should I be? -- B.S.

ANSWER: Since scans have become so routinely a part of medical practice, liver cysts are seen quite frequently. Most liver cysts neither cause pain nor upset liver function. No one is sure why they form.

Unless they are large or are causing symptoms, they can be left alone.

TRI-LAKES PREMIER ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE CENTER

Trouble-making liver cysts do exist. Some parasite infections cause them. Those cysts almost always produce symptoms that call for treatment. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I recently read several articles about the use of food-grade hydrogen peroxide. I am interested in using it for prostate and urinary tract problems.

Are there real benefits from it? -- J.C.

OFFERING THE FINEST QUALITY AND LOWEST PRICES! We have re-designed the Palmer Lake Wellness Center to provide our clients with our very best!

ANSWER: Concentrations of 1.5 percent hydrogen peroxide are used by some as a mouthwash and at 1.5 percent to 3 percent as a wound cleaner. The same doses are used to remove wax from the ear canal.

I can’t find any confirmation of the benefit of using food-grade hydrogen peroxide for prostate or urinary tract problems. I would not encourage you to use it. Food grade is a very high concentration.

• On April 1, 1924, Adolf Hitler is sentenced for his role in the Beer Hall Putsch of Nov. 8, 1923. He had been charged with high treason. Despite his conviction, he was out of jail before the end of the year, with his political position stronger than ever.

• On March 31, 1776, future first lady Abigail Adams writes to her husband urging him to “remember the ladiesâ€? when drafting a new code of laws for the fledgling nation. Abigail pondered if and how the rights of women would be addressed in an American constitution.

• On April 3, 1936, Richard Bruno Hauptmann, convicted in the kidnapping and murder of the 20-month-old son of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, is executed by electrocution. In 1932, Charles Jr. was kidnapped from the nursery of the Lindbergh home.

• On April 4, 1841, only 31 days after assuming office, William Henry Harrison, the ninth president of the United States, dies at the White House. At his inauguration, Harrison declined to wear a jacket or hat and made a two-hour speech. Soon afterward, he developed pneumonia.

• On April 2, 1979, the world’s first anthrax epidemic begins in Ekaterinburg, Russia (now Sverdlosk). Thirteen years later the epidemic was finally explained: Workers at a weapons plant had failed to replace a filter, causing a release of anthrax spores into the outside air.

• On April 5, 1859, naturalist Charles Darwin sends his publishers the first three chapters of “Origin of Species,â€? which will become one of the most influential books ever published. Knowing the fates of scientists who had published radical theories and been ostracized or worse, Darwin had held off publishing his theory of natural selection for years.

• On April 6, 1950, a train plunges off a bridge into a rain-swollen river in Tangua, Brazil, killing 110 people. Days of torrential rains had undermined the bridge’s foundation, but there was no warning system to stop the train. The locomotive and five cars fell into the river. The remaining 17 cars somehow stayed on the tracks.

DETECTING DEPRESSION WITH COMPUTER TABLET

T

he day might come when you show up at your doctor’s office for an appointment, hand over your ID card -- and you’re handed back an iPad tablet or similar electronic device. You’ll be asked to answer questions on the screen.

Researchers at King’s College London teaching hospital in the U.K. used these devices in their study into whether patients with physical illnesses also had depression. They determined that as many as 30 percent of those with long-term conditions had some type of mentalhealth concerns as well.

The electronic gadgets were a frontline means of screening. The results were instantaneous, and it meant better recognition of patient concerns, as well as actions being taken to address those concerns once the

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

by Nick Yanez

I

’m going to be honest with you all. I break the law on a very regular basis.

Probably every day. It’s called speeding and it is perhaps the most common crime in society today. Everyone speeds, for the most part. I’m so accustomed to speeding, I don’t even realize what’s happening when I do it. The second I see a speed limit sign I immediately assume that I can go 5mph over that limit, without any consequences. For the most part, that’s true. I’ve never been pulled over for going ‘5-over’, even if it’s right past a police officer. I had a friend once get a ticket for going 3mph too fast in High School. We were all shocked, and rightfully so, as nothing like that has hap-

In the study, the sets of questions on the device could be geared to the patient’s medical condition, such as heart disease or chronic pain, and covered areas such as adherence to treatment plans, alcohol use and quality of life, as well as depression.

The results varied, depending on the illness, but the questions gave doctors information that might not come out in a short office visit. The information could be compared from one visit to the next.

The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) also was used in an Australian study, but with a different slant: This research focused on whether doctors in different countries were good at spotting depression. Italy and the Netherlands had good scores; the U.S. and Australia did not.

The highway is the scene of most of my crimes. Usually, in a neighborhood, I’ll try my best to abide by the rules. But if I’m cruising down I-25 and I see a sign that says 75mph – I’m going 80, no questions asked. Why wouldn’t I? It’s normal from my point of view.

Which is why I’m a fan of the new laws passed in Idaho and Wyoming! For those who haven’t heard, the two Midwestern states have recently joined the speed club (which originally included just Texas and Utah) in switching their Highway speed limits to 80mph. In Idaho, there was a slight controversy in the change.

hour after the change, keeping in line with the unspoken ‘5-over’ rule. Perhaps they’re right, but studies show that accidents aren’t caused by higher speed, but rather, a difference in speed. As long as Idaho and Wyoming take the right approach by only allowing 3 or 4-lane highways to be 80mph, it shouldn’t cause any issues.

After passing in the senate with ease, but squeaking through congress, the Governor signed the new law allowing the Idaho Transportation Department the authority to change highway speed limits to 80mph where it sees fit. A huge help in the matter was looking to neighbor Utah.

Since the change in the Beehive State, accident rates have not increased. It’s also worth noting that the average speed of drivers hasn’t budged, meaning (like me) drivers were already going 80mph.

Now I’m sure there are plenty of readers who totally disagree with my view point. Many elderly people I’ve spoken with seem to think that the world is in too much of a hurry. Why can’t we slow down to 65mph? What’s the rush?

The fact is, life moves fast in the 21st century. Even if you don’t like it, that’s the truth. Some people need to go 80mph, all the time, just to get where they need to be. Plus, if there is an extra lane or two,

Of course skeptics will now say that motorists will lean towards going 85mph

8

there’s no reason folks who want to take the steady pace of 65mph can’t. Which is why I’m an advocate of Colorado being the next state to introduce the 80mph speed limit on multi-lane highways.

We’re already the state that boldly legalized the sale of recreational marijuana.

Why not let us speed around like idiots for a while too? Maybe then I can settle into a speed limit, without the temptation to push it to ‘5-over’.

Until then, I’ll be a common criminal – the worst kind of criminal - one who never gets caught.

The Kitchen Diva by Angela Shelf Medearis

EAT YOUR WAY TO GOOD HEALTH “You are what you eat!� The phrase was coined in 1923 as part of an advertising campaign, but the idea that you need to eat good food to be fit and healthy has been around much longer.

Even simple diet choices can boost our immune system, said Susan Mills-Gray, Nutrition and Health Education specialist with University of Missouri Extension.

Here are some simple things that can boost your immune system to work at peak performance. • Get plenty of liquids to help prevent viruses and bacteria from taking up residence in your body. According to Dr. Riva Rahl of the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, “The mucus in your nose is actually one of the key physical barriers that keep germs out of your body. When you’re not well hydrated, it dries up and doesn’t provide that barrier.â€? • Protein is a building block for a healthy immune system. Choose lean red meats, poultry and fish, dried beans and soy. You also can choose protein-rich plant sources with heart-healthy fat, like peanut butter and nuts. • Foods with antioxidant-rich vitamins C and E protect cells -- including those of your immune system -- from damage by toxins in the environment. Choose citrus fruits/juices, melons, mangoes, kiwi, peppers, tomatoes, berries, broccoli, cabbage, sweet/white potatoes, winter squash, leafy greens, almonds, hazelnuts, peanut butter, sunflower seeds, safflower oil, whole grains and fortified cereals several times a day. • Eat probiotic foods to help build up the good bacteria in the intestines. These bacteria play a role in helping fend off illnesses. Any fermented food is rich in this type of good bacteria, so choose yogurt, sauerkraut, tofu, brine-treated pickles and aged cheese at least daily. • Add a zinc-rich food to your daily diet to increase the production of white blood cells in your body. Research shows that this effect can reduce the number of days you’ll suffer from a cold. Some foods rich in zinc are yogurt, lean red meat, poultry and fish, almonds, pumpkin seeds and fortified cereals.

This recipe for Slow-Roasted Salmon with Horseradish Yogurt Topping contains many of the foods that nutritionists recommend for a healthy immune system. Eat your way to good health!

Tuesday - Friday 5 - 9 pm • Saturday 11:30 am - 9 pm 4 Hwy. 105 • Palmer Lake 719-481-3244 • website: http://www.bellapanini.com

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH TOPPING Slow roasting the salmon in a low-temperature oven gently melts the fat between the flesh and leaves the fillets incredibly moist and tender. The spicy horseradish and yogurt topping adds a punch of flavor to the mild fish.

• Ancient Mayan warriors were known to throw hornets’ nests at each other in battle.

by Samantha Weaver • It was nonviolent Indian activist Mahatma Gandhi who made the following sage observation: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

• Beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss had a hobby that few people were aware of: He collected hats.

• With the summer holidays approaching, you might want to keep in mind this snippet: Every year, 75,000 stuffed animals are left behind in hotels. Be sure to check under the bed before you leave!

• It was long believed that a single piece of paper couldn’t be folded more than seven times, but in 2002, high-schooler Britney Gallivan disproved that notion. She ordered a 4,000-foot-long roll of toilet paper and, along with her family, headed to a shopping mall to try to break the seven-

• At some point you’ve almost certainly heard a coward described as “lily-livered,” but did you ever wonder where that expression came from? It was once believed that the seat of courage in the human body was the liver; therefore, someone who was timid presumably lacked blood in the liver, causing that organ to become white.

• If you’re like the average American, you spend 38 hours in traffic every year. If you live in Chicago, you’re stuck for 46 hours.

If you’re unlucky enough to be driving in Los Angeles, you’ll be at the mercy of traffic for a whopping 72 hours every year. *** Thought for the Day: “If you wish to make an apple pie truly from scratch, you must first invent the universe.”

The IRS might lose your documentation, and they certainly won’t mail it back.

Tina the IRS, the chances of the same processor getting both pieces of your tax puzzle are very low. Request an extension for your response. Be patient, yet punctual, and send everything required at once. Fax or mail, pick one. If mailing documents,

Don’t Overshare: Only send what is asked for. Don’t be overly ambitious with the IRS, but at the same time don’t send a riddle. If you make the processing agent’s job a little bit easier, they might make your life a little bit easier. When they ask for your favorite color, don’t respond with pizza.

ver 75% of IRS audits are conducted through correspondence (mail), while the remaining 25% are field or face to face audits. Typically the IRS wants documentation such as receipts on a particular deduction (charity, medical and tuition are the current hotspots), or the information they received does not match what you reported on your tax return. Here are some general rules in responding to the IRS-

Be Prompt: Timely responses are essential. While the IRS gives you generally 30 days to respond to initial notices, if you wait to the very last minute to send in your documentation there is a good chance that correspondence will get crossed in the mail. Make this is a priority. Requests for 30 day extensions are almost automatic, so ask for it right away.

Send 100%: When you mail or fax information to the IRS, ensure that you have completely responded to the entire letter or notice. Do not send some information today while you gather up other information later. If you send two partial responses to
