To Advertise in the Bingo Bonanza Newspaper Call 817-274-2020 Mobile App Makes Healthier Living Easier (NAPSA)-Thanks to a popular mobile app, it may be easier for people to do what they need to do to live a healthier lifestyle-all while on the go.

While this can be good news anytime of year, it can be particularly welcome during the holidays, when many people are juggling lots of tasks and it’s easy to forget to take prescriptions.

It’s estimated by the New England Healthcare Institute that

Walgreens’ mobile app is de_signed to make it easier to manage your health and prescription needs while on the go.

medication nonadherence has a nearly $300 billion impact on the U.S. healthcare system.

Walgreens’ mobile app lets users refill prescriptions by scanning the label, choosing a preferred location, submitting the request and picking it up at a Walgreens of their choice.

The app also can provide re_minders to keep you on schedule with your medications and offer text alerts when your pre-

scription is ready for pickup. Plus, it can make it easy to transfer prescriptions from another pharmacy just by taking a picture of the prescription label.

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, you are inspired to take on the world, but you may want to focus on smaller goals this week. Finishing a longlingering work project is a viable option.

TAURUS – April 21/May 21

Aries, strange forces seem to be working against you, but fortunately you are prepared for anything that comes your way.

Allow for some time to get things settled.

TAURUS – April 21/May 21

Aries, you want more than you can acquire this week and your desires may lead you astray. It is important to exercise self-restraint, even if you get a thrill from living on the edge.

Taurus, something does not seem to be falling into place. Take stock of things at home and at work to see if you can crack this nut. A little more investigation many be necessary.

Aries, there is more to you than meets the eye. You enjoy letting others get small glimpses of your true self, but this week they will get a lot of information all at once.

Taurus, keep a firm hand on your wallet so you can avoid spending well beyond your means. It is best if you avoid making any impulse purchases in the near future.

Feeling restless, Taurus? Spend some time with a hobby that you enjoy, whether that is cooking in the kitchen or building something out in the garage.

Taurus, make a concerted effort to improve your focus in the weeks ahead.

There is much to lose if you cannot tackle the tasks at hand, particularly at the workplace.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

You may be offered a professional opportunity this week that is too good to pass up, Gemini. Despite this great offer, do your best to stay focused on work for the next several days.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, listen carefully when a family member comes to you with some sage advice. Even a seemingly relaxed conversation may prove fruitful.

CANCER – June 22/Jul 22

CANCER – June 22/Jul 22

Exercise caution and do not jump to any conclusions at work, Cancer. While you may know what your boss expects from you, it is better to wait to hear what he or she has to say.

Cancer, you may seem rushed this week, but resist the temptation to go faster than is comfortable for you. Take your time so things are done right the first time.

Leo, you can envision exciting adventures ahead, and those times will be here before you know it. Channel your enthusiasm so you can get a head start on planning your adventure.

Leo, you may have so much fun this week that you don't realize you have been getting work done in the process. Your attitude is even inspiring others around you.

LEO – July 23/August 23

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, you have a desire to be different from everyone else this week. It's good to be original, but don't stray too far off the beaten path or you may find yourself lost.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

LEO – July 23/August 23

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Take a step back when you don't see eye to eye with a colleague, Virgo.

Disagreements can quickly escalate, so keep a level head and take all things into consideration.

Libra, a friend may shock you by doing something really outrageous. You do not know what to make of this change in personality, but do your best to take it in stride.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Libra, your intuition and ability to work with people closely will make your life much more enjoyable. Make use of these talents as you pursue a new career path.

Scorpio, work figures to put a lot on your plate in the coming week. You can handle everything that comes your way, so long as you keep your cool and continue to work hard.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Falling into a slump just isn't your style, Scorpio. Even if things don't seem to be going your way, your attitude and work ethic will make the most of the situation.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

You may be tempted to sneak off and play hooky from work, Sagittarius. Just make sure you handle all of your obligations first. Now is not the best time to kick up your heels.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, playing games with someone can be fun, but don't let things turn into a serious rivalry. Focus on being lighthearted this week.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, you have so much to do now that your mind may be in a complete jumble. Others will come at you with questions, but take a deep breath and answer them one at a time.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

Capricorn, your responsible nature helps those in your care to feel safe and secure.

It is good to show others how much they mean to you, and you have been doing it correctly.

Change is not the best idea right now, Aquarius. It is much better to stick with the status quo for a little while longer.

Then you will have enough stability to make a change.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Some well-hidden information could come to the surface, and you will have the ability to put it to use, Aquarius. Just don't let the power go to your head.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar20

Pisces, you have many new ideas about how to get rich quick, but you will probably want to find more sensible ways to earn a living.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar20 Pisces, you must deal with a potentially delicate matter in the days to come. Keep a cool head and remain confident.

TAURUS – April 21/May 21

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

Others may have trouble reading you this week, Gemini. That's because you are putting forth a few different faces. It is better for all involved if you remain consistent.

CANCER – June 22/Jul 22

Cancer, now is the time to introduce your family to a special friend of yours. This person will be received graciously, so there is no need to fret about the meeting.

LEO – July 23/August 23

Leo, when you want to get something done, it is probably best if you do it yourself this week. This way you can bring your own unique approach to the task at hand.

TAURUS – April 21/May 21

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, it's unlike you to slow down, so don't be surprised when friends start looking at you curiously after you take your foot off the gas. Your free spirited nature will soon return.

CANCER – June 22/Jul 22

Cancer, find a routine that works for you and then stick with it. There is no need to reinvent the wheel, and when actions become automatic, you can focus on other things.

LEO – July 23/August 23

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

A need for attention could get the better of you, Leo. A little humility goes a long way and can alter others' perceptions of you. You may end up being seen in a more positive light.

Cash seems to be flowing out of your pockets this week, Virgo. You may want to sit down and make some adjustments to your spending habits so you can get your finances in order.

Virgo, you can differentiate between right and wrong, but your judgement might be off this week. Rely on your intuition, but don't make any big decisions without first thinking carefully.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, your patience is wearing thin, but you need to keep your cool or you could end up in a sticky situation at work. Ride things out until the weekend arrives.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, it may seem like you are being led astray by one thing after another, when all you want is to focus on one task at a time. Find a way to block out any and all distractions.

It isn't in your makeup to be meek, Scorpio. If something needs to be discussed, speak up and let others know your perspective on the situation.

SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22

Sagittarius, a lucky streak has you excited to test your good fortune. Ride this wave, but do not go through all of your money in one fell swoop. That can spell trouble.

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Scorpio, work on a creative project with a sweetheart or friend early in the week.

Ideas will flow easily and your imaginations will soar together. It is a productive pairing.

This is not your week to mix love and money, Sagittarius. In fact, keep the two as separate as possible, and exercise caution before lending anyone money.

Capricorn, you have been doing a lot of waiting around, but now your patience is bound to pay off. You just need to wait a little while longer to bear the fruits of your labors.

CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20

Aquarius, a big adventure is on the horizon. The trouble is, you do not know what to expect and what to bring along for the ride. Things will come into focus soon.

You don't always have the patience to stick with the same routine, Aquarius.

That means others cannot expect you to conform to their whims if they want you as a friend.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar20

You need to take a rest, Pisces. Otherwise, you will burn out very quickly. Friends are urging you to slow down this week.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY

Capricorn, you want to play outside of the rules this week. You normally like to follow a relatively traditional course, so this catches others off guard.

AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar20

Pisces, you may need to sacrifice some security for a chance to have a memorable experience. Do something out of the ordinary.

Easy Tax Planning For A Bigger Refund (NAPSA)-If, like most people, you could use some extra money these days, consider this: Three out of four Americans get an income tax refund from the IRS, and the average direct-deposited refund has totaled more than $2,800 for the last several years. Moving the needle above that average may be done with a little tax planning.

“To see exactly where you still have opportunities to save, do a dry run of your federal tax return,” said TaxACT spokesperson Jessi Dolmage.

“DIY solutions like TaxACT are already updated with tax law changes so you can estimate your taxes as early as October each year.” These hints can help you maximize your refund or lower your tax liability.

1. Remember all your above-the-line adjustments, which are amounts you can deduct from your taxable income. They include college tuition and fees, educator expenses, moving ex_penses, alimony paid, contributions to a traditional IRA, student loan interest, and health insurance premiums if you’re selfemployed.

2. Maximize your itemized deductions. Those may include charitable gifts (cash and noncash, such as household items), unreimbursed medical expenses, job search expenses in your present occupation, tax preparation fees, mortgage interest and points paid, qualified mortgage insurance premiums, and personal property and real estate taxes.

The program uses simple interview questions to guide you through all your deductions and credits. The amount of your refund or taxes owed updates as you go. Some solutions, including TaxACT, also provide information about the tax implications of health care reform to help you make better-informed health insurance decisions.

General Tax Tips • Choose e-file and direct de_posit for the fastest refund.

• Don’t wait until April 15 to file-rushing often leads to errors.

• In the meantime, save all receipts, statements and tax forms in one place.

Avoiding These Mistakes Can Help Your Credit Score (NAPSA)-There’s good news for consumers who want to improve their credit score. There are a few practical steps they can take that will help them avoid future problems and correct mistakes of the past.

That’s one of the key findings of a report released by free credit report and score provider Quizzle.com. The report found that despite the fact that the unemployment picture is slowly improving, consumers’ average credit scores continue to decline.

Says Quizzle.com CEO Todd Albery, “This is no small issue.

happens more than you think.

Things often slip through the cracks, and many folks get sloppy and miss payments by a few days here and there.

• Overshopping for credit: When shopping for the best credit card, avoid applying to several cards at the same time just to see who will approve you. Doing so results in “hard” credit inquiries done by creditors or lenders on your report, which have a negative impact on your credit score.

“Taking charge of your credit report and score is so important when it comes to meeting your financial goals,” said Albery.

“Small things can really add up to help folks.”

AMETHYST: GEM OF ROYALTY

AQUAMARINE: THE SAILOR’S STONE

(PX) — The royal purple amethyst has one of the most interesting histories of any gemstone. Ever since mankind first discovered amethyst around 3000 B.C., this accessible gemstone has been believed to possess a wide variety of amuletic qualities and properties.

The ancient Egyptians believed amethyst could keep a person from being poisoned. In medieval times, amethyst often was put under one’s pillow to cure insomnia and bring pleasant dreams. Medieval churchmen used amethyst rings and jewels to promote divine revelations and wisdom, since amethyst was considered a symbol of Christian love and sacrifice. Amethyst also was said to enhance courage and creativity, promote intuition, psychic development and even self-esteem, deflect anger, and protect the wearer against evil.

Through the ages, this lovely purple member of the quartz family has been used for everything from love charms to symbols of royalty. Yet, for all its noble traditions, amethyst is a surprisingly affordable gem.

“Though the most prized colors of amethyst are still relatively rare, especially in larger sizes, there are plenty of equally beautiful amethysts available in smaller sizes and lighter purples that are affordable enough for any budget,” explains Lynn Ramsey, president of the Jewelry Information Center.

Indeed, amethyst can be found in colors ranging from a pastel lavender to a dark purple that is almost black. The darkest amethysts occasionally are heat-treated to lighten their color, but light to medium purples usually are left in their natural colors.

“Amethysts that are heat-treated retain their color remarkably well, but it’s still wise to keep any amethysts away from strong heat and steam cleaning,” advises Douglas K. Hucker, executive director of the American Gem Trade Association. Heat-treating is a stable and accepted process, which has been used by the jewelry industry for thousands of years, says Hucker. However, when buying any colored gemstone, ask if the stone is of natural origin or if it has been treated in any way to enhance its beauty.

One of the most prized colors of amethyst is a deep, pure purple with flashes of red fire that used to be called “Siberian amethyst” after

PMS BLACK

Used throughout the ages, amethyst is beautiful, durable and very affordable.

Designer Barbara Westwood used a 10carat cushion-shaped amethyst in this 18K yellow gold ring. the Siberian deposits from which this particular color came. Deposits in Uruguay and Africa have made the darker colors of amethyst more available, but most amethyst used for jewelry is in the medium-purple range generally associated with the gem. Occasionally, amethyst in milky pastel colors or layered with white quartz is used in jewelry or carved into sculptures.

Amethyst can be found in sizes ranging from very tiny accent stones to finely polished gems of more than 1,000 carats, the latter found mostly in private collections and museums. Gems for jewelry are usually between half a carat, popular for earrings, and 10 carats, most often seen as the center stone in rings, pendants and bracelets. Even 20- to 40-carat amethysts in the medium to lighter colors are still affordable enough for fine jewelry.

Many jewelry designers and gem carvers like to use amethyst because it is easy to cut and polishes so beautifully. Award-winning American gem carvers like Steve Walters of Ramona, CA, and Michael Dyber of Rumsay, NH, create magnificent free-form gems designed for jewelry and even larger sculptures, because amethyst is so easy to obtain in large sizes and a wide variety of pleasing colors.

Traditionally associated with royalty and luxury, amethyst has become the February birthstone in this century. Amethyst is tough and durable, wears well, and gives modern men and women the look of royalty at very affordable prices.

(PX) — Aquamarine, the lovely bluegreen member of the beryl family, has been used in jewelry since the third century B.C. and is one of the most fashionable gemstones today. For hundreds of years it was called “The Sailor’s Stone,” due to its sea-like colors, ranging from a pale sky blue to a deep blue-green, and was thought to protect sailors and people traveling over water.

The earliest aquamarine probably came from India, where it was highly regarded

by Hindu mystics as an aid to promoting mental clarity and improving one’s public speaking.

Medieval alchemists believed aquamarine would prevent excess water retention in the body and enhance the digestive and eliminative functions.

In the medieval alchemical charts of gem properties, aquamarine is shown as ruling the kidneys, bladder and urethra. Nineteenth century Chinese carvers produced snuff bottles and delicate figurines out of larger pieces of aquamarine, because it is easy to carve and polishes beautifully.

Even today, many people who believe in the spiritual properties of gemstones wear aquamarine to give them religious and mental inspiration, provide inner calm, and enhance both verbal and written communication. Aquamarine’s popularity helped make it a March birthstone earlier this century.

Aquamarine always has been available in small sizes, from one-half carat up to 10-carat stones. However, finds in Brazil and Africa have made aquamarine of much larger sizes more accessible for use in jewelry.

“The African material, called ‘Sancta Maria Africanus’ aqua, comes in sizes large enough to create major gem sculptures and is among the most beautiful aquamarine ever found,” says Joe Menzies, executive board member of the International Colored Stone Association.

The Brazilian material ranges from pale blue-green to a deep blue with a green tint.

One of America’s premier jewelry designers, Henry Dunay, used a natural aquamarine to depict the River Danube in this oneof-a-kind 18-karat brooch he calls “Winter Evening In Budapest.”

The African aquamarine can come in such large sizes that world-famous gem artist Bernd Munsteiner of Germany carved a 10,613-carat, foot-tall sculpture named “Dom Pedro Maritimas” from a 30,000-carat rough aquamarine.

Munsteiner used the “leftovers” from his sculpture to create close to 100 fantasy-cut gemstones and smaller sculptures from this fiery deep blue-green material.

Aquamarine is tough, durable and takes an excellent polish, says Lynn Ramsey, president of the Jewelry Information Center.

“Aquas can be worn in rings and bracelets with minimal risk if the settings are designed to protect the gems. Clear stones, called eye-clean, are free of inclusions to the naked eye and can be worn under most conditions. Avoid steam cleaning or excess heat.”

Historically, Brazilian and African aquamarines have been routinely heattreated to enhance their color. Heating gemstones is a stable treatment and an accepted industry practice, says Ramsey.

Recently, designers have begun combining aquamarines with golden citrines, emeralds or tsavorite garnets, sapphires, and pink tourmalines to provide fresh fashion color palettes.

“You don’t have to be a sailor or a Marchborn baby to enjoy the beauty and sparkle of aquamarine,” says Ramsey. “It’s a yearround treasure of a gem.”
