• Chess Boxing requires both brains and brawn. This Dutch event combines a game of chess played in between rounds of boxing. Two individuals go at it for up to 11 rounds. The game starts with a four-minute chess round followed by two minutes of boxing. The World Chess Boxing Organization’s motto is: “Fighting is done in the ring, and wars are waged on the board.” The match can be won through domination in either activity or some combination of a knockout, checkmate and exceeding the time limit on speed chess or by a judges’ decision.

• Ever thought of chasing cheese? In a battle of pursuit, people risk life and limb to chase an eight-pound Double Gloucester cheese down a very steep hill in the annual Cheese-Rolling Festival at Cooper’s Hill in Brockworth, Gloucestershire. There are five races, and the first person to make it to the bottom still on their feet wins the cheese! turn the page for more!

WEIRD PASTIME(continued): • Can you talk afterwards? The World Stinging Nettle Challenge is held at The Bottle Inn in Marshwood, Dorset, U.K., every year as part of a charity beer festival. Competitors come from all over the world to see how many nettle leaves they can eat off two stalks in an hour’s time. The bare stalks are measured, and the winner is the one with the greatest accumulated length. It takes skill and endurance to chew and swallow the leaves and not blister the tongue.

• You shouldn’t be asleep for this one! Bed Racing is a sport enjoyed by the people of North Yorkshire Town in the United Kingdom who hold the annual Knaresborough Bed Race. Competitors race beds in teams of six, plus one on the bed. The bed has to run on four wheels and must also float. The race is 1 mile (3 km) long with five up-hill climbs leading to a final challenge of crossing a river.

• Ferret Legging is a male-only competition that started in Yorkshire, England, and is now held at the Richmond Highland Games & Celtic Festival in Richmond, Virginia. Men compete with one another by trapping two live ferrets in their pants.

The pants must be tied at the ankle and secured at the waist with a belt to prevent the ferrets from escaping. The animals cannot be sedated and must have a full set of teeth. No filing or blunting of teeth is allowed. After the ferrets are secure in the trousers, the competitors stand in front of the judges. The winner is the man who can last the longest. There are two important additional rules to Ferret Legging: The ferrets must have free access from one leg of the trousers to the other, and no underwear can be worn! The current record stands at 5.5 hours.

• Witcham in Cambridgeshire, England, hosts an annual Pea Shooting contest where the competition is fierce! Contestants shoot a pea 12 feet (3.64 m) through a 12-inch (30.48 cm) tube towards a 12inch (30.48 cm) target. Pea shooting recently moved into the 21st century with laser-guided shooters.

• Wife Carrying started in Finland and is now played all over the world. In this race, male competitors run a 278-yard (253.5-m) track with two dry obstacles and one water obstacle while carrying their wife on their back. The fastest time wins. The wife must weigh at least 108 pounds (49 kilograms) and may be carried piggyback, fireman’s carry or Estonian style, where the wife hangs upside-down with her legs around the husband’s shoulders, holding onto his waist. The prize is the wife’s weight in beer.

• A conker is a nut of the horse chestnut tree.

During The World Conker Championships, conkers are threaded onto pieces of knotted string to prevent them from coming off. The aim of the game is to smash your opponent’s conker. Who goes first is Continued on page 7

Mosquitoes Bring Heartworm Season –

Prevention is Key! Cats and dogs can be infected with heartworm disease by the bite from a carrier mosquito. The coyote has become the ‘natural’ reservoir for the disease. Dogs are the primary host for the disease, but cats and other animals can become infected, and the consequences are serious. Indoor cats are just as susceptible as outdoor cats!

The good news is that this disease can be prevented. There is no effective treatment once your cat is infected, so prevention is the key.

A safe, monthly topical medication is the best way to protect your cat(s). If you have questions please call our hospital.

Please call 303.663.2287 (CATS) for more information or visit www.catspecialist.com

Cat Q & A Dr. James Olson - The Meow Doc

Dangerous Plants Cats Encounter – Indoors/Outdoors #2 of 5 Plants of all types and climate ranges can poison your cat.

Plants are a significant cause of sickness and death in cats, second only to pesticide poisonings. Indoor cats are more inclined to get sick eating plants than outdoor cats. Boredom is the most common cause of choosing to eat plants in the house. During the holiday seasons cats are exposed to poisonous decorative plants such as Holly, Dumbcane, and Easter lilies. Keep all toxic plants away from your cats and pets.

LOCAL HERO

For Kevin Robertson, it was suppose to be a normal lunch hour on May 11th, 2011. He ran to McDonalds on that Wednesday afternoon to grab a bite to eat. On his way back to work, Kevin saw something “out of the norm.” He noticed a stranger lying in the grass, at Parker Adventist Hospital, in the rain and missing a shoe. He made the decision that all good natured people make… To stop and help. Kevin asked the stranger if he was as ok and he responded, “Yes I’m fine.” Clearly he was not fine though. So Kevin helped him off the ground and into his truck while he called 911. The stranger was not completely alert and insisted that he was ok to drive home. Kevin wouldn’t let him though.

He talked with him awhile trying to distract him until the ambulance arrived. During this time, Kevin learned the stranger’s name: Donnie Wright from Fairplay, CO. Once the police and ambulance arrived, Kevin helped Donnie into the ambulance and made sure he was in good hands before returning to work.

That evening, after work, Kevin drove to the hospital to find out how Donnie was doing.

Kevin learned that Donnie had a very low blood sugar (22; normal is 100). Further examinations found that Donnie had kidney failure and problems with his heart as well. According to Mr. Wright, he had gone to his doctor earlier that day to give blood, but when he returned to his car he “just did not feel good”. He doesn’t remember much other than Kevin saying, “Let’s help get you out of the rain.” Donnie said, “If it weren’t for Kevin who stopped to help, I would not have been around to celebrate my son’s birthday the following week.”

Donnie underwent several days of tests at Parker Adventist Hospital. Every evening, Kevin stopped by and visited with him to check in on his status. Donnie’s prognosis looks good and he will be able to return home soon… Thanks in large part to a LOCAL HERO named Kevin Robertson.

The Gem Advisor Amethyst

The seductive, violet amethyst has for millenniums thought to have significant powers.

Moses described it as a symbol of the Spirit of God and used it in the robes of the High Priest. Russian Empress Catherine the Great sent thousands of miners to dig for it in the Ural Mountains . The Greeks thought it offered protection against drunkenness. Other cultures thought it would protect crops from tempests and locusts and that it would bring good luck in war and in the hunt, drive out evil spirits and inspire intellect.

Others thought it would protect against snakebite if worn around the neck on a cord made from dog’s hair. Some ancients reported that eagles would put an amethyst in their nest to protect their young, though no one reported how the eagle would manage to mine an amethyst.

But wait, there’s more! “Gemstone therapists” say that the amethyst has a sobering and cleansing effect and that it has been said to suppress stomach acid, combat insect bits, and beautify the skin.

Some say it puts the wearer in a “chaste frame of mind” and thus became an ornament of the Catholic clergy found in prelates’ crosses and in the Papal Ring (Italian, 15th century) in the Jewelry Museum in Pforzheim.

Wow! What a stone! If everyone wore an amethyst what a wonderful world this would be!

The other player then attempts to hit the dangling conker as hard as he can with his own conker by swinging it over-arm. If he hits it, he gets another go. If he misses or hits the opponent’s knuckles, the play switches, and the receiver gets a crack at his opponent. This continues until one of the conkers is so damaged that it falls off the string.

• Big crowds regularly attend the Great Christmas Pudding Race held in London’s Covent Garden’s West Piazza. It is a relay event where teams in fancy dress negotiate a challenging 164-yard (150-meter) obstacle course while carefully balancing a dish of Christmas pudding on a tray.

The race supports cancer research in the U.K. • The ancient sport of shin-kicking is part of the annual Cotswold Olimpicks. The goal of shinkicking is to kick your opponent as hard as you can in the shins. Each time your opponent falls to the ground you earn a point. The winner is the person with the highest score in the best of three rounds. Competitors are encouraged to pad their legs with as much straw as possible.

• The World Toe Wrestling Competition started in 1976, and it has made it to the big time in the adult sporting world. Competitors face each other toeto-toe across a “toedium,” where they lock their big toes together and try to force their opponent’s foot to the ground. Organizers of the sport applied for its inclusion in the Olympic Games, but it was not accepted.

• Extreme Ironing is a dare-devilish sport that combines the dangerous and exciting with the dull and mundane. Participants call themselves “ironists.” They take their ironing board, iron and some wrinkled clothes to extreme places and set to work. Individuals and teams participate in world competitions to set new records for ironing clothes underwater, hanging off cliffs, on top of moving vehicles, even near the top of Mount Everest. Photographs are taken for proof.

Overcoming the Odds LIVING WITHOUT LIMITS

Nick Vujicic was born with phocomelia, a

medical term for babies born with malformed or missing limbs, but he has turned his experiences with a disability into inspiration for others.

• Nick Vujicic was born with no arms and no legs, only one little foot with two fused toes. When they saw their newborn baby for the first time, his parents were stunned and in disbelief. They were not prepared for the moment, as prenatal ultrasounds detected nothing unusual. Doctors could see the fetus was a boy but didn’t detect any missing limbs.

• Vujicic’s parents struggled with idea of raising such a severely handicapped child. How could they care for him properly? What kind of life would this child have? Could he ever grow up to care for himself, go to school or live independently? The doubts and worries filled their heads. After much grieving and soul searching, they moved forward, and instead of dwelling on their circumstances, they set out to raise their child to be as normal as he could be.

• As Vujicic grew from an infant to a toddler, he learned to roll his trunk across the floor to get around.

He would roll to a wall and using his forehead would walk himself up the wall to an upright position, bracing himself with his little foot.

• Doctors performed a simple surgery to separate

his two toes so that he might be able to use them more like fingers. He later learned to use those two little toes to operate a custom-built electronic wheelchair, a computer and even a cell phone.

• Once he reached school age, he began to notice he was much different than other kids. His family was instrumental in helping him overcome these emotional challenges. They never let him feel sorry for himself and never coddled him. He went to mainstream schools, and although it was almost unbearable at times, he found the strength to persevere through humor and the ability to poke fun at himself.

• Vujicic has grown up to be not only self-sufficient with a career, but happy and full of a joyful purpose.

While still in school, he was invited to speak to student groups, church groups and other teen organizations, which led him into his career as an internationally successful motivational speaker. He is also the author

of an inspiring book titled “Life Without Limits.”

• His message of hope encourages others to stay focused on their dreams. “For every disability you have, you are blessed with more than enough abilities to overcome your challenges,” he says. And he should know! He encourages others by showing them how he learned to accept what he could not control and focused instead on what he could.

• “You can wish; you can dream; you can hope, but you must also act upon those wishes, those dreams and those hopes. You have to stretch beyond where you are to reach where you want to be,” says Vujicic.

• He came to realize that he didn’t have to be normal.

“I just had to be me,” he says. “At first, I was not willing to confront that what was really wrong with me wasn’t my body, it was the limits I put on myself and my limited vision of the possibilities for my life.” Vujicic found the confidence to build a rewarding and productive life without limits.

Preparing for a Hailstorm Hailstorms are frequent occurrences across the U.S. Most hailstorms occur during either the spring or fall months, are very localized events, and don’t cause extensive property damage. However, occasionally hailstones can reach about 1.5 inches in diameter. When this occurs, they can cause significant property damage to cars, windows and siding. When hailstones reach three inches in diameter, they can cause major roof damage.

Preparation Tip

Consider replacing your roof covering with roofing material that received a UL impact resistant classification (UL2218) of Class 4, meets local building code standards and requires minimal upkeep and maintenance.

•

Listen to weather updates about hail activity.

•

Seek shelter immediately if you are caught outdoors – preferably not under a tree.

•

Stay indoors until the storm subsides.

•

Close drapes, blinds or window shades for protection from the possibility of breaking glass.

•

Park your vehicle in a garage or under a shelter.

•

If driving, pull over to the side of the road

Free Woman’s Hormone Seminar Make the Right Moves with Inherited Stocks

When you inherit a sizable amount of stocks, your overall financial picture can change significantly. But to make the most of your inheritance, you need to decide what to do with your new stocks. Should you keep them or

Before you can answer this question, you need to review several factors, including the following: Diversification — You’ll need to determine if an inherited stock adds to your overall portfolio diversification. Do you already have other, similar stocks in your portfolio? If so, you might want to sell the stock and use the money for a new investment opportunity.

Conversely, if you don’t own anything similar to the inherited stock, and it can help your diversify, it may well be worth keeping. While diversification, by itself, cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss, it can help reduce the effects of market volatility.

Fundamentals — It’s a good idea to closely scrutinize any stocks you inherited. Do they represent companies with strong management teams, good track records and competitive products or services? Or, as is sometimes the case, did your benefactor simply keep these stocks because he or she had some type of attachment to them? You’ll want to own quality stocks for the right reasons.

• Risk tolerance — An inherited stock may be either too aggressive or too conservative for your preferences. If the stock doesn’t fit within your risk tolerance, sell it and buy an investment that does.

Taxes — When you inherit stocks, they are generally valued at their market value on the day your benefactor died, not the date of the original purchase. For example, if you inherit stock that your father bought for $20 a share, and it’s worth $75 a share on the day he dies, your “cost basis” would be $75 a share. If you sell the stock right away, you’ll likely owe little or no income taxes. If the price of the inherited stock goes up before you sell it, you’ll pay capital gains tax on the difference between $75 and the sale price, at a maximum rate of 15% (at least for 2011 and 2012), no matter how long you’ve held the stock. This is advantageous for you; typically, if you sell an appreciated stock that you’ve held less than a year, you’d have to pay capital gains taxes at your normal income tax rate.

If you inherit stocks as part of a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you’ll probably have to pay taxes on withdrawals at your income tax rate.

However, you may be able to spread withdrawals over your lifetime, which could result in more tax-deferred growth and a greater income stream. And if you inherit a Roth IRA, you won’t have to pay income taxes on any withdrawals, provided the Roth IRA account has been open for at least five years.

If you need help in determining what to do with inherited stocks, consult with your financial advisor and tax professional. After all, you are acquiring an important asset — and you want to make this asset work for you.

WE WANT TO HELP GROW YOUR PORTFOLIO. Call today to schedule a complimentary portfolio review.

1 Timothy 6:17 (King James Version) Charge them that are rich in this world, (now he adds the phrase, “rich in this world” so we do not get confused, rich with material possessions, rich in money, rich with things) Charge them ( in other words, it is a command) charge them or command them that they get rid of all that stuff, because it is impossible to serve God if you have a lot of things, if you have a lot of money! No not at all!) charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; The word used for highminded here in other places is translated proud, arrogant, lofty, it is a charge against being proud, a charge against highmindedness!

In Rom 12:16 it says this…Romans 12:16 (Amplified Bible) Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive), but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits. Don’t be highminded! Now the very word for pride means just that, it means high, it is a high and lofty estimation of yourself or of your talents, or of your abilities! If you look up the definition of humility it means low or lowly, modest, unassuming, meek, mild!

Remember what Jesus said about himself in Matt 11:29? (King James Version) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: In other words, Jesus is saying, I am humble, another description for being humble actually means to go low, to bow low. This is not what someone else wants you to do or is making you to do, you are doing it of your own volition, by your own choice.

But now look at James 4:6(King James Version) But he giveth more grace. ( can you use more grace? Is there more grace to be had? But he giveth more grace.

Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Verse 10… 10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. He says humble yourself, not what someone else does to you or wants from you, it’s not even what the Lord is doing to you, but a decision you make, an action you take, humble yourself! The degree of your humility determines the limitations of your usefulness to God! And I think this example will help make that clear for us today, in Numbers 3 it says that Moses was the meekest man on the face of the earth. And in a worldly sense, the world equates meekness with weakness but yet I would say this to you that Moses was the most used man of his generation, would you agree with that statement? Want to be used by God?...humility is a BIG key!

GOD LOVES DRUNK PEOPLE TOO A man and his wife were awakened at 3:00 am by a loud pounding on the door.

"Who was that?" asked his wife.

"Just some drunk guy asking for a push," he answers.

"Did you help him?" she asks.

"No, I did not, it is 3:00 in the morning and it is pouring rain out there!"

"Well, you have a short memory," says his wife.

"Can't you remember about three months ago when we broke down, and those two guys helped us? I think you should help him, and you should be ashamed of yourself! God loves drunk people too.

The man does as he is told, gets dressed, and goes out into the pounding rain. He calls out into the dark, "Hello, are you still there?"

"Yes," comes back the answer.

"Do you still need a push?" calls out the husband.

Will Rogers and all his wonderful advice?

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash with Wiley Post at Point Barrow, Alaska, was one of the greatest political sages this country has ever known.

Enjoy the following: 1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3. There are two theories to arguing with a woman.

Neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

13. Never squat while wearing your spurs.
