IN THE BLACK

by Kathy Wolfe

The word “black” doesn’t mean just an object’s color — It has cultural and psychological meanings as well. This week, Tidbits explores a variety of areas where we see both the color and the word.

500 2nd St, Castle Rock, CO 80104

• Most of us are aware of the superstition that if a black cat crosses our path, bad luck is on the way. However, in Great Britain and Ireland, that feline is a symbol of good luck. The Scots even believe that a black cat near their house means prosperity is imminent. The Japanese also look upon it as good luck, and that ladies who own one will have many suitors. The Germans are very specific about the black cat’s route — If it crosses your path from right to left, it’s a bad omen, while a left to right course signifies future favorable times.

• If you drive a black vehicle, supposedly you are empowered and not easily manipulated. You also love elegance! turn the page for more!

• Black History Month has been officially observed since 1976, when President Gerald Ford called on all Americans to recognize February as a time to “seize the opportunity to honor the toooften neglected accomplishments of black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.”

• The ancient Aztecs viewed black as the color of war because black obsidian glass was used to make the cutting edges of their battle swords.

Black also represented the institution of religion, because their priests wore only black.

IN THE BLACK (continued): To the Japanese, black is the symbol of nobility, age and wisdom. Contrast this with their view of white, which represents serfdom, youth and naïveté. In light of this, they award the black belt in martial arts as a symbol of achievement and seniority, as a sign that the individual has blended the mind and body into one, into a unity within oneself and with the universe.

• Traditionally, musicians in the orchestra pit wear black attire. This is not only because of the formal look, but more so, not to draw attention away from those performers on stage.

• The wearing of black clothing while in mourning dates back to the Roman Empire in the western world. However, in Japan, the color of mourning is white.

• In the field of astronomy, a black dwarf is a star that has burned out, while a black hole is an area in space created from a collapsed giant star that has run out of fuel. Matter and light cannot escape the intense gravitational pull of a black hole, the weight of which is estimated at a million times as much as the sun.

• Old-fashioned black licorice gets its flavor from the root of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant, a legume related to beans. But the candy’s color comes from the addition of molasses to the batch, not from the licorice plant’s extract.

• There was the “Man in Black” and there were “Men in Black.” Country music icon Johnny Cash earned his nickname by wearing his trademark black clothing, including a long knee-length coat, differing from his country counterparts who dazzled in rhinestone suits. Cash said he wrote his 1971 hit “Man in Black” on behalf of the “poor and beaten down” and “the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,” as well as soldiers killed in Vietnam, “the lives that could have been.” But initially, Cash and his band mates wore black shirts because it was the only matching color shirt they all had!

Many cats vomit hairballs, food and phlegm on a regular basis. Is this type of vomiting ever normal?

It is commonly believed that it is. In truth, it appears that vomiting in any species is a sign of an underlying problem. For the past 5 years, Cat Specialist and another feline specialty hospital have been working up vomiting cats, getting biopsy samples from the stomach, liver, pancreas, 3 areas of the small intestine, lymph nodes, and any other areas that may look abnormal. Comparing the clinical signs of vomiting to clinical disease that a pathologist discovers has uncovered a surprising revelation.

The majority of cats that regularly vomit have chronic underlying clinical disease! It is common to have a number of clinical problems present at the same time so figuring out what is going on can be a challenge.

Food intolerance and to a lesser extent food allergies are seen and have been related to vomiting. Changing to GI sensitive diets and probiotic supplements usually helps these cats.

Vomiting hairballs is very common for some cats but now this may be a clue that something is wrong internally. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and/or an early form of intestinal cancer (Lymphoma) may be an underlying cause in many of these patients.

The good news is that the majority of these cats if diagnosed early and treated early live normal lives for a long time!

Pancreatitis has been the chronic mystery disease in cats because until recently it has been very difficult to diagnose. A new diagnostic test has given doctors the ability to define this problem and start treatment immediately.

Acid Reflux Disease (GERD) is more common than suspected. Acid blockers, administered daily, resolve clinical signs.

New tests have helped veterinarians diagnose and treat their patients better. Our study has shown that a short exploratory surgery with biopsies is needed to diagnose the cause of chronic vomiting and how to best treat this condition. If you have any questions about chronic vomiting call our nurses at Cat Specialist – 303-663-2287.

Scott McQueen The citrine is a member of the quartz family – a large family of colors and varying structures that presents gemstone lovers with a variety of choices in adornment and decoration at a price many can afford.

The name comes from the color – the yellow of the lemon – you know, citrus – citrine. The yellow stones have a warm, soft tone that reminds you of autumn. Perhaps that’s why citrine is considered a November gemstone. However, the citrine that are in greater demand are the ones that feature a clear, radiant yellowish to browninsh red.

For six decades in the 18th century citrine was mined in Germany. Most of the crystals, however were small – barely a centimeter in diameter.

Siberia and Brazil has delivered some larger crystals.

In mysticism, the citrine or topaz as it is sometimes referred to, is said to dispel sadness, anger and nocturnal fears. It is also supposed to warn its wearer of poisons and protect him or her from sudden death. I’ll take one, thank you. But the best reason for a man to own a citrine is because it is supposed to make men handsome and intelligent. On second thought, I’ll take three!

Home Improvement THIS IS A HAMMER

By Samantha Mazzotta When Rain Barrels Violate HOA Rules Q: I keep a very nice lawn in the front and back of my house, along with a small kitchen garden and several flowers and shrubs. To water it -- especially in this dry, hot summer -- I try to use “gray” water as well as water collected in rain barrels placed under my downspouts. Recently I received a notice from my homeowners’ association that the rain barrels are against the rules and will have to be removed. How can I convince them that these are not just environmentally friendly, but also the reason I’m able to keep my yard green and growing as required by the HOA rules? -- Red-Taped in Roswell, Ga. A: While I’m not an expert in dealing with homeowners’ associations, my first thought would be that you should review the most recent copy of your HOA’s rules. You’ll want to find out what rule or rules the association is referring to, and if rain barrels are specifically mentioned. You’ll also want to find out what your rights are as a member of the HOA, how you can appeal the notice, how long you have to comply and whether you can get that deadline extended.

Several years ago, a friend of mine renting in a townhouse community related a story to me. The condo association only allowed owners to be members, not renters. And it had set up, early in the community’s history, rules that only owners could access the community amenities like the pool and clubhouse. The trouble was, more than 80 percent of the residents were renters -- meaning very few actual residents could use those amenities. My friend took action, attending association meetings every month and speaking each month, until she convinced the association to vote on whether to allow renters to use the amenities. The vote passed easily.

I’m relating the above story as an example of what can be accomplished through persistence when it comes to these associations. Talk directly to the HOA, and talk with members of your community about the rain-barrel issue. What’s really bothering the association about your rain barrels? Is it an aesthetic issue? Is it worried about mosquitoes hatching in the rain barrels? There are solutions to the problem -- such as moving the rain barrels out of sight of the street, camouflaging them behind shrubbery and covering the barrels to prevent mosquitoes from breeding.

Get out the word, too, about the environmental benefits of using rainwater, as well as the cost savings from doing so.

Chances are many homeowners will agree with you -- but not if they don’t know about the issue.

HOME TIP: HOAs can be either a headache or a boon to homeowners. Be aware of your HOA’s rules and bylaws, and be a participant in the association to advocate effectively for changes or improvements to your community.

Send your questions or tips to ask@thisisahammer.com, or write This Is a Hammer, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

IN THE BLACK (continued):

secret agency that monitors alien activity in New York City. Clint Eastwood was chosen to play the lead character, but after he turned it down, Tommy Lee Jones was put in the role opposite Will Smith. Smith didn’t want the role of “J,” but his wife talked him into taking it. A sequel came along in 2002, and MIB III opened in the spring of 2012.

• More tea drinkers sip black tea than any other type; it equals 90 percent of total tea consumption. Although black, oolong, green and white teas all come from the same shrub, black tea is more oxidized than the other three.

Green tea undergoes minimal oxidation during processing, and white tea is made with no fermentation whatsoever. White tea has the least caffeine, just 1 percent of what a cup of coffee contains. Black tea contains 20 percent of coffee’s caffeine.

• If you’ve been denied a particular privilege or recognition, you’ve been blacklisted. The term also applies to those who have been rejected from work in a certain field, or one who has been ostracized from elite social circles.

The word dates back to the 1600s, when England’s King Charles II compiled a list of 58 judges who had sentenced his father Charles I to death. When Charles II regained the throne 11 years later, 13 of those on his “blacklist” were executed, 25 were sentenced to life in prison, and the remainder escaped.

• Some clubs hold secret ballots to determine whether an individual should be admitted.

Those who vote against the person’s admittance “blackball” him.

• If you’re bitten by a member of the Latrodectus genus, most likely you won’t die.

Although the venom of the black widow spider is quite potent, it usually only results in muscle aches, nausea or difficulty breathing, although it can be fatal to small children. And the spiders generally bite only in self-defense, for example, when a person sits on them. The female, famous for consuming the male after mating, is more than twice the size of her mate and has venom three times more potent. She can grow up to about 1.5 inches (37 mm).

Not every female will have the trademark red hourglass on the abdomen — Sometimes there are two red spots, sometimes no markings at all. The male can often exhibit the hourglass as well, although its marking is usually yellow or white.

Fighting Cavities with ‘Sugar’ ??

Timothy G Brown, Agent

Can we really fight tooth decay with ‘sugar’?

American Family Mutual Insurance Company and its Subsidiaries American Family Insurance Company Home Office — Madison, WI 53783 amfam.com

Yes! An important way to fight cavities is with the sugar substitute sweetener Xylitol. Xylitol is a natural sugar that not only helps fight cavities, but can actually prevent them.

© 2009 07497 — Rev. 2/09

What is Xylitol?

Xylitol is a naturally-occuring sugar alcohol found in the fibers of fruits and vegetables and other plants. It is found in berries, oats, mushrooms, corn husks, sugar cane, trees, and many other plants. It is practically as sweet as table sugar, and is used as a sweetener in certain brands of chewing gum, mints, toothpastes, mouth rinses, candy, lemonade mixes, and all-purpose sweeteners. (Be sure to check the label!)

How does ‘sugar’ (Xylitol) fight tooth decay?

Xylitol fights cavities in several ways: (1) It attracts and then inhibits, or starves out, the specific bacteria that cause tooth decay. (2) Unlike ordinary table sugar, Xylitol does not break down, Cindy Rose or ferment, into harmful acids that de-mineralize tooth enamel and cause a cavity. (3) Xylitol creates just the right chemistry in the saliva to re-mineralize the Calcium and Phosphate minerals back into damaged tooth structure and “heal” the early cavity.

Is Xylitol safe?

Powerful and playful.

Xylitol is safe for humans; it is deadly for dogs. Xylitol has no known toxicity in humans. However, “man’s best friend” does not tolerate Xylitol, even in small amounts. Therefore, since many dogs have a “sweet tooth”, they can easily snoop around and find their master’s stash of gum, mints, or candy. Be sure to keep xylitol-containing products out of your dog’s reach. If you suspect your dog has consumed any Xylitol, get him/her to the Vet immediately!

Grand L40 Series • RTV900 Kubota compact tractors and utility vehicles make raising horses even more rewarding. The all-new Grand L40 Series, with its innovative HST Plus transmission, makes the toughest chores seem simple.

The RTV900 has a powerful 21.6 HP diesel engine and 3-range variable hydrostatic transmission (VHT) to handle everything else.

How much Xylitol do I need?

Research suggests one should consume six to ten grams per day.

A stick of Xylitol gum or mint typically has about one gram of Xylitol. For optimum effect in fighting cavities, it’s important to consume Xylitol throughout the day; so it will continually fight those “bad bugs” that cause cavities, and aid in remineralizing.

of this range, you are considered a “Millennial.” As a member of this group, you share many things —cultural references, familiarity with technology, attitudes toward work and family — with others your age. And if you’re one of the “older” Millennials, you and your peers have something else in common — specifically, you have a good opportunity to launch investment strategies to help you save for the future.

Cindy Rose

Why are you so well positioned to invest for the future? For one thing, it’s because you have so much of the future ahead of you. As an investor, time is your greatest ally, for a couple of reasons. First, the more years you have to invest, the greater the growth potential of your investments.

And second, by investing for the long term, you can help reduce the impact of periods of short-term volatility on your portfolio.

Furthermore, since you may be in the early stage of your career, you probably have yet to reach your maximum earnings and may be eligible to put in the full annual amount to a Roth IRA, one of the most effective retirement savings vehicles available. (Eligibility to contribute to a Roth IRA is phased out over a specific income range.) When you invest in a Roth IRA, your earnings have the opportunity to grow tax free, provided you don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re at least 59½ and you’ve had your account for at least five years.

Even if you do contribute to a Roth IRA, you can still participate in your employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k) if you work for a company, a 457(b) if you work for a state or local government, or a 403(b) if you work for a school or other tax-exempt organization. And you should indeed contribute to your employer’s plan, because it offers some key benefits: Your earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis, and you typically fund your plan with pretax dollars. So the more you put in, the lower your taxable income.

(Taxes are due upon withdrawal, and withdrawals prior to age 59½ may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty.)

The amount you can afford to put into your 401(k) or other employersponsored plan depends on your earnings and other circumstances — but you should at least strive to contribute enough to earn your employer’s match, if one is offered. Otherwise, you’ll be walking away from “free” money.

All the money you contribute to your plan is yours, but if you leave your job before a specified vesting period — which often ranges from three to seven years — you may not be able to keep all your employer’s contributions. Check your plan’s rules to see how this applies to you.

Of course, since you, as a Millennial, are in the early stage of your working years, you may well be on the lookout for new job opportunities. But if you are close to being fully vested in your 401(k), you might consider waiting a few extra months — or even a year — to take a new job, so that you can leave with the money your employer has contributed.

As a Millennial, you’ve got time on your side as you invest for the future. So make sure you take advantage of all the opportunities that come your way.

Basic Bankruptcy Information (part 1): There are two distinct options for consumers through bankruptcy: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. While either option can lead to a forgiveness of dischargeable debts, the differences between the two chapters are significant.

A Chapter 7 is considered a straight bankruptcy. Generally it takes approximately 4 to 6 months from the date a case is filed until the time when the anticipated Order discharging qualifying debts enters.

Chapter 13, on the other hand, is a repayment plan. The minimum duration for a plan is 3 years and the maximum is 5 years. Once payments are completed, a discharge order can enter. The repayment plan can be a viable tool for addressing mortgage arrears, tax liability, vehicle loans, and many other areas of concern.

For either Chapter, an appearance at a Meeting of Creditors is required. The Meeting is automatically scheduled and typically takes place about a month, to a month and a half, after the case is filed and typically lasts about 5 to 15 minutes. ______________________ FUTURE FORUM NOTICE: If you have general questions about bankruptcy, email them to april@ Cindy Rose nortonlawpc.com .
