“There are two kinds of artists in this world; those that work because the spirit is in them and they cannot be silent if they would, and those that speak from a conscientious desire to make apparent to others the beauty that has awakened their own admiration.” – Anna Katharine Green, American author
W
hen one thinks of the different mediums an artist can use, it’s highly unlikely that wax is among the first to come to mind. Perhaps because the only wax works of art many people are familiar with are those of celebrities that reside in museums. And those creepy things don’t really look like art. The fact is that wax sculptures have been around since the Middle Ages and possibly earlier. Of course, they weren’t of random celebrities dressed up

purposes was developed. Some sources indicate that the ancient Romans used wax to make masks of those who had passed away, to memorialize their features. In fact, this practice was fairly common throughout Europe as part of the traditional funereal ceremonies of important people. Additionally, wax models, in the form of figurines, were often presented to churches as offerings.
in fancy clothes, posed in a strange museum for fans to take their picture beside. Instead, they were actually used as offerings made to churches, or to preserve the image of kings and queens, or even to serve as a sort of voo-doo-esque doll to punish in the hopes of causing injury to the person it represented. Yes, wax has been around in different forms and with different purposes for a very long time. With that in mind, Snippetz felt it was time for us to bring the history of wax sculpting to life!
MADAME TUSSAUD Probably the most recognizable name in the realm of wax sculptors, Madame Tussaud was born Anna Maria “Marie” Tussaud on December 1, 1761 in Strasbourg, France. Marie’s father, Joseph Grosholtz, was killed in the Seven Years’ War and so her mother, AnneMarie Walder took her infant daughter to Bern, Switzerland. There, AnneMarie worked as a housekeeper for Dr. Philippe Curtius, a physician with a talent for wax modeling. Marie became attached to Curtius, who taught her his unique talent, which he developed as a way to illustrate anatomy and later, to create portraits.

Marie took to wax modeling right away, showing a talent that Curtius recognized and fostered to help her grow as an artist. His talents were nothing to scoff at, either. In fact, in 1765, after moving to Paris to establish a wax portrait exhibition, Curtius made a wax model of King Louis XV’s last mistress, Madame du Barry. That cast is

The couple had two children and Marie continued her wax modeling career, finally establishing her first permanent exhibition on Baker Street in Great Britain. She died on April 16, 1850 and her son, François, took over as the chief artist for the Tussaud exhibition. In 1884, Madame Tussaud’s museum moved to the Marylebone Road in London. It includes historical figures of both the famous and infamous variety. In fact, a grouping of notorious people and relics from famous crimes are located in the museum’s “Chamber

Marie lived an interesting life, getting herself put on the short list for execution during the Reign of Terror, a period of intense violence of the French Revolution. She dodged that bullet (or guillotine) and went on to marry François Tussaud in 1795.

In 1777, Marie created her first wax figure, that of François-Marie Arouet, more commonly known as the French Enlightenment writer, historian and philosopher, Voltaire. She continued her work in wax modeling and from 1780 to 1789, when the French Revolution began, she created some of her most famous celebrity portraits, including Benjamin Franklin.

of Horrors.” Some of Marie’s original models still reside there, including the Voltaire and Benjamin Franklin pieces.
THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW Wax modeling and sculpting has evolved since the days of Madame Tussuad. Gone are the days of a single artist working to create a figure. Instead, in order to achieve the desired realism for a museum-quality wax sculpture, an entire team of artists work together to bring it to life, figuratively speaking, of course. First, the team must assemble a solid collection of photographs and measurements of the subject. To do this, the museum must determine exactly how they want that subject to m immortalized. Should he or she be smiling, waving, holding a weapon? What type of posture does the person have? And don’t forget the teeth. A person’s smile is an important part of their identity. Oh, and their hair. That’s a biggie too. So, naturally, dentists and barbers are interviewed to get those minute details just right. Using that massive amount of infor-
mation, the artists can finally begin working to create a plaster mold of the subject’s head, using good old regular clay. Once they have that completed, the artists then pour hot wax into the mold. Often, beeswax is mixed with manufactured petroleum-based wax and then artificial coloring and chemicals are added to the concoction to help the final product stay strong and heatresistant.
Ricardo Cordova www.mymbsllc.com ricardo@mymbsllc.com
After allowing the wax to cool, it is removed from the mold and assembly on the other key features can begin. Prosthetic eyes matching the subject’s eye color as closely as possible are added, along with porcelain teeth (kind of like dentures) and real human hair. Each hair is applied one at a time to the head, eyebrows, eyelashes, and sometimes the arms and chest (depending on where it’s needed based on the subject).

Seamstresses and costume consultants work together to create the model’s wardrobe and to fit it to the figure’s body. With the sculpture complete, designers then create a scene using backgrounds, props, and furnishings to match the moment in time they intend to capture.
As you might guess, this process is done by a trained worker using a tiny needle and can take up to 60 hours to complete.
The whole process usually takes at least six months to complete but it’s not uncommon for it to take longer. The Royal London Wax Museum’s model of President Bill Clinton took eight months and the model of Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien took more than a year. The total cost can anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000.
Next, painters apply a thin layer of translucent paint to even out the model’s skin tone and to match any distinguishing marks (like a freckle or mole) from the real person. Finally, the pieces can be assemble together and then it’s off to wardrobe!

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN . . .? Colorado Springs actually had its own wax museum, once upon a time. It was called The Hall of Presidents Wax Museum and was open from 1969 to 1996. Located just south of Bott Avenue off 21st Street, it held wax sculptures of 42 presidents and various Disney characters, including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Possibly the most unnerving sculpture was that of Abraham Lincoln on his death bed: the model’s chest moved up and down as he breathed. Rumor has it that when the museum closed, many of the figures went to a museum in Dallas.

9 Secrets of Social Sharing Part 2 of 3
Series 4 Article 47
Continued from last week’s article.....
5. Make your Site Share-Friendly
3. Maximize the Size and Visibility of your Posts
You've worked hard to build a functional, attractive website and publish meaningful content on your blog. Now, make sure people can find it - and easily notify their network of your good work. Make it as easy as possible for your customers to share your content.
A picture is worth a thousand words……ALWAYS include a photo in your posts, whether you are posting on Facebook, Twitter or your blog. Posts with images receive 40% more interaction than those without. Make sure your photos are always linked to your website, not to the photo URL. 4. Make your Social Profiles Represent You Well Every form of social networking gives you an opportunity to create a social profile. Make sure the information is consistent, professional and well polished. This includes your profiles on Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and LinkedIn. Services like Yelp, Pinterest, Tumblr, Foursquare, Goodreads, and even topic-specific forums may best get you in contact with your particular customer. Find where your customers are; make sure you're there too.
Add share buttons (links to share instantly on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.) to your website and blog, and make them readily accessible. Some tools and plugins even make these buttons 'float' or follow the customer's scroll.
opportunity to post lasting content that you control, on a site you control. Exploit that opportunity. Your Facebook posts and Twitter tweets will disappear, buried under billions of newer messages. But your blog benefits you in search, gives you a platform to become a reputable source, garners links to your work, and drives traffic directly where you want it: your website. Choose compelling images to accompany your posts. As with posts directly on social media platforms, this increases engagement and makes your content virally shareable on various networks.
Use social sharing buttons that display counters of how many times content has been shared. This provides a credibility-boosting 'crowd' of readership. Let your customers see how popular your content is, and give them the opportunity to make it more viral. 6. Benefits of Regular Blogging The Internet is giving you an
4
So, do it. Blog regularly. Current research indicates that blogging 15 or more times per month can increase traffic by 5X. Even if you're a small organization, make this a part of someone's job description. Blog content is longer-lasting, but this is still the internet - it takes concentrated effort to get your desired content onto your customers' screens. If you're not already posting frequently, these numbers may seem daunting. Don't worry, there are ample resources for blog post ideas. CONTINUED NEXT WEEK

THE MAGNETIC POWER OF SELF-CONFIDENT PEOPLE PART 6.2
MAGNETIC SELF CONFIDENCE IS ASSURANCE NOT ARROGANCE By Dr. Ron D. Ross
T
here may be “good pride” and “bad pride” as defined by writer John C. Maxwell, and there may be good and bad cholesterol, but there is no such thing as good and bad arrogance. Arrogance is never appropriate or attractive. You’ve seen these kinds of people. They think they are the smartest cat in the house and consider everyone else “the little people.” They are convinced no one is as clever or good looking as they are and they strut with their nose in the air to flaunt their disgusting conceit. They are overbearing and rude. They harbor a sense of superiority over others that may attract attention but seldom are they truly attractive. Assurance, on the other hand, is an attractive personality characteristic. People who are self-assured, who believe in their own abilities, are delightful to be around and attract and inspire others. The following demonstrates some of the differences between assurance and arrogance: Assurance calms down – arrogance stirs up. The word assurance insinuates the idea of guaranty – a promise that no matter what happens, all will be well. People who are self-assured, who have the aura of tranquility, who are composed, polite and caring have a magnetism about themselves. The arrogant stirs the spot and creates anxiety, instability, and timidity in everyone around him/her. Because everything that happens is about them, they disregard the needs of others, and always focus on themselves.
Assurance liberates – arrogance frustrates. Self-assured people are aware of both their strengths and weaknesses. They know they do not know everything about everything and yet they demonstrate inner strength. They recognize the value of others and bring out the best in them, freeing even the most timid from his/ her shyness. The arrogant does the opposite. They pretend to know a great deal about everything while they insinuate that others know very little. Their arrogance discourages participation, hinders progress and diminishes likeability.
Save 15%
Assurance bolsters – arrogance bullies. The self-assured people I know are always complimenting, always polite, more interested in others than they are themselves. Because of their confidence in their own abilities, they are able to learn from others who may be less educated or have little experience.

The arrogant, on the other hand, are bullies. They frighten and intimidate others to maintain their top-dog position. They will mock and belittle those who do not agree with them while refusing to actually discuss or debate an issue. As far as the arrogant is concerned, all truth, knowledge and wisdom begin and end with them.

And last, the self-assured says, “We can all be better.” The arrogant says, “I’m better than you.” The self-assured knows he/she is good at some things and may excel at a few. But they always know they are human with human weaknesses and human flaws. Yet their self-confidence and self-knowledge inspires and attracts friends like a magnet.

COOL CUCUMBERS
C
ucumbers are a go-to vegetable for salads, but there are many ways to incorporate this cool, crunchy vegetable into everything from appetizers to drinks. Cucumbers are one of the oldest cultivated crops and have more than 100 different varieties. It’s believed they were first cultivated in India. Cucumbers are at their best when young and tender with a crunchy texture. They come in many sizes. Some of the most popular varieties are the Dosakayi, popular in India for curries and stews; crunchy “slicers,” used in salads; and pickles like gherkins, dills and sweet French cornichons. The English cucumber is longer and narrower than the slicer varieties. Its seeds are much smaller and the skin is thinner. This type of cucumber may be labeled as “seedless” or “burpless.” It usually comes wrapped in plastic and unwaxed. The taste of English cucumbers also is less bitter, and some find it almost sweet. Cucumbers have about 15 calories per 100 grams, and the peel is a good source of dietary fiber and is a mild diuretic, which helps to eliminate toxic materials in the gut. It’s also a great source of potassium and is low in sodium, which helps with blood pressure and heart rates. Cucumbers are high in vitamin K, which helps with bone strength. It also has established a role in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease by limiting neuronal damage in the brain. When purchasing cucumbers, select ones that have a firm texture and a bright-green color. There shouldn’t be any spots, cuts or breaks in the skin. A wrinkled, large or yellowish cucumber means it is over ripe, lacking nutrients and tough. Before using or storing, cucumbers should be washed using cool, clear water and dried thoroughly to get rid of any surface dirt and pesticide residue. They may re-

You can use cucumbers in a variety of ways. Fresh, cleaned cucumbers can be enjoyed as they are. You also can cut cucumbers into cubes with the skin and add them to vegetable or fruit salads. Finely chopped, fresh cucumber slices are delicious when mixed with yogurt, cumin, coriander, pepper and salt to make cucumber raita, the popular Indian condiment that adds a cooling effect to spicy dishes.

English cucumbers are great eaten skin and all, but with some other varieties you may want to peel them first (especially ones with thick skins). If you’re making a salad with seeded or slicer cucumbers, cut them lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds.

ATTRACTING BUTTERFLIES TO THE GARDEN

ttracting butterflies to your garden can be as easy as 1, 2, and 3. The first thing you should do is to refrain from using pesticides whenever possible. Secondly, plant a variety of host plants for butterflies to lay their eggs and the caterpillars to later feed from. And lastly, plant flowers that provide nectar for the adult butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. The last step is also for you because who doesn’t benefit from a garden full of beautiful flowers!
credit histories be deleted if the extra charges caused default judgments. Even more, Navient had to create an online form for service members, and make sure that there are customer-service reps who are trained in veterans rights.
SOME STUDENT VETS DUE REFUND CHECKS
I
f you were a student and had Navient (aka Sallie Mae) as your loan service provider, you might be getting a refund check in the mail. The Department of Justice nailed Navient to the tune of $60 million in refunds and penalties after 78,000 service members were overcharged on interest for student loans. It was the first lawsuit against student loan servicers, and it sends a powerful message. The loans in question date back to 2005, so even if you’re not recently out of school, you might be in the group getting compensation. Additionally, Navient must contact all three of the big credit bureaus to ask that negative
This whole investigation apparently started with a service member complaint made through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Office of Servicemember Affairs. If you think you’re due some cash from this, starting in mid-June 2015, you can call 855-382-6421. For other topics where your veteran rights were ignored, look at legalassistance.law.af.mil for Legal Loan CompanyServices Locator or see www.servicemembers.gov.

The first step doesn’t necessarily mean that chemicals can never be
used, but that you should use chemicals as a last resort. Many times there are physical or cultural controls that will do the job before you ever have to reach for the spray bottle. For example using the “squish method” for aphids or yellow sticky traps for white flies can sometimes work better and faster than a spray would. In some instances a chemical may be needed and should be applied carefully, keeping in mind where butterflies and other beneficial insects, such as bees, are feeding. Many host plants may already be planted near or at our homes. Gambel Oak, Cottonwoods, Willows, Chokecherry and Ash are host plants to many butterfly and moth larvae. You can attract more by planting, Dill, Asters, Butterfly Weed, Hollyhock’s, Lupine, Honeysuckle, Violets, and Pansies. A successful butterfly garden provides a habitat for future generations of butterflies as well as the current years. Then by adding nectar sources like Blanketflower, Hyssop, Bee Balm, Penstemon, Evening Primrose, and Zinnias you will be well on your way to a butterfly paradise, not to mention a stunning garden full of beautiful bloomers.

SNIPPETZ™ HEALTH AND WELLNESS eases and usually have other symptoms, and many would likely have progressed over time. The part of your story that bothers me is that this has been bothering you for years and your doctors haven’t taken it seriously. Even if it isn’t a life-threatening condition, it’s been bothering you, and they should have at least tried to help.
WOMAN COMPLAINS OF FEELING HOT DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 66year-old woman who usually is too hot. When I tell my doctors, they just sort of laugh it off. It is making my life miserable because if I keep the heat or air conditioning where it is comfortable for me, it is too cold for others. I hate summer and stay inside in the air conditioning. I keep the temperature in my house at 64 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and winter. I know other members of my family do not tolerate being out in the sun when it’s hot, but they aren’t plagued with being too hot otherwise.
It’s time to have a frank discussion with your current or a new doctor and explain that you are concerned about this, that it’s affecting your life and comfort, and that you want to be taken seriously. I’m not saying your doctor needs to evaluate you for everything on the long list, but he or she does need to listen, think and explain.
These are uncommon to rare dis-

*** DEAR DR. ROACH: Is it better to take Lipitor at night? Is that true for all statins? -- M.E. ANSWER: The cholesterol in our blood comes from the food we eat and also by the cholesterol our body makes. Most cholesterol synthesis happens at night.
So, it’s better to take a statin at night, particularly for statins that don’t stay in the body a long time (this is referred to as a short half-life). Lovastatin (Mevacor), pravastatin (Pravachol), fluvastatin (Lescol) The sensation of being too warm and simvastatin (Zocor) have short comes and goes.

ANSWER: Heat intolerance is common and has several possible causes. The short list includes excess thyroid hormones, loss of estrogen and being overweight. The long list includes, among many others, some serious conditions, such as polycythemia vera (a blood disorder of having too many red blood cells), inflammation of blood vessels, multiple sclerosis and tumors that secrete substances that can affect blood vessels, such as carcinoid or pheochromocytoma.
Bonnie B. Baswell, M.D. Eric L. Caplan, M.D. Kori Schulte, MSN, FNP-BC.
Naturally, if you are taking any statin, you should continue a careful diet as well. Taking a medication doesn’t take away the harm of a poor diet. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

• On June 23, 1973, President Richard Nixon’s adviser H.R.

by Samantha Weaver • It was Alice Roosevelt, prominent socialite and daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt, who declared that her purpose in life was to “empty what’s full, fill what’s empty, and scratch where it itches.”
• King James VI of Scotland was also, after the crowns of England and Scotland were united in 1603, King James I of England. He may have been doubly noble, but those who study such things say that his personal habits would not have been out of place in a commoner of the time period. He reportedly never bathed, claiming that baths were an unhealthy practice, and he would wear the same clothes for months on end. • Three of the first five presidents of the United States -- John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe -- died on July 4. • Fans of the long-running sitcom “Scrubs” will be familiar with the main character, Dr.
• The game of tag may seem like an innocent children’s pastime, but in some countries it has a sinister undertone. In Italy, players pretend that anyone getting tagged has caught the black plague. In Madagascar, leprosy is the contagion that is being supposedly spread by the game, while in Spain, it’s relatively harmless fleas. • Taking the stairs may be good for your cardiovascular health, but there are dangers you might not know of. In an average year, approximately 27 people are killed while using an elevator, while 1,600 die while taking the stairs. *** THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “Learning is what most adults will do for a living in the 21st century.” -- Lewis Perelman © King Features Synd., Inc.

STRAWBERRY ARUGULA SALAD
FRESH STRAWBERRY ARUGULA SALAD
I
’m obsessed with fresh strawberries right now. Sweet to the taste and bright-red to the eye, this luscious berry can be tossed into just about anything to turn an ordinary meal into a celebration. Enjoy this prime strawberry season with me, and head out to a pickyour-own field or farmer’s market. En route, challenge your family to think of all the ways you can use your bountiful baskets of juicy berries. As kids shout out their favorites, such as strawberries and waffles, peanut butter and strawberry jam sandwiches and strawberry ice-cream cones, you’ll discover how the versatile berries can be worked into any meal of the day. Back home, learn new ways to use your bounty -- like stirring up strawberry-rhubarb jam or strawberry salsa. I like to use strawberries as a garnish, I toss them, along with fresh mint, into a chilled pitcher of water, and I’m always incorporating them in supper salads using other fresh local produce, nuts and cheese. Here is a simple salad that’s a headliner on our Father’s Day lunch menu. Young kids can prep the berries and peppery arugula while you quickly toast the pecans in a pan on
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 3/4 cup pecan halves 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt and pepper to taste 4 cups loosely packed baby arugula leaves* 1/2 cup crumbled mild feta cheese (optional)
WE DON’T SAY
WE’RE THE BEST READ WEEKLY PUBLICATION ON THE FRONT RANGE...
1. Let school-age kids wash, hull, dry and halve the strawberries. Place in a bowl and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of the balsamic vinegar. Set aside for 5 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, an adult should toast the pecans in a small, dry skillet over medium-low heat. Shake the pan to avoid overscorching until the nuts are fragrant and lightly browned. Cool completely. 3. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Add strawberries, arugula and pecans, and toss. Taste and season as needed. 4. Divide mixture on individual plates, and dot with the feta cheese, if you wish. Serves 4. *Substitute half of the arugula with fresh spinach for a milder flavor. *** Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on public television nationwide.
