“Saturday Night Live” alum Kristen Wiig had to bow out of the proposed half-hour Apple comedy series based on the book “You Think it, I’ll Say It” because of a conflict with the “Wonder Woman 1984” sequel.

Reese Witherspoon’s company Hello Sunshine, which is producing the Apple series, will have to find a replacement for Wiig. Hello Sunshine is currently preparing “Are You Sleeping,” with Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer, and a morning-show drama starring Reese and Jennifer Aniston.

LOVE

A WORTHY INVESTMENT

Your marriage matters!

When you’re happy in your relationship with your spouse, you tend to be happier with your job, kids, social life and everything else. Try these great ways to cultivate a stronger connection in your marriage!

Wake up early together Set your alarm 10 minutes before you need to get up to spend some quality time with your spouse. Have a cup of coffee together, discuss the morning news or simply stay in bed and cuddle. Those 10 minutes of alone time in the morning will set the tone for your day.

Kiss instead of peck You and your husband are probably in the habit of pecking goodbye each morning before work and pecking once again when you see each other in the evening.

Tonight, when your husband comes home, surprise him with a long, passionate kiss.

Give your spouse your “best” Let’s face it, by the end of the day you’re exhausted!

You’ve given your all to your job, your chores and dinner, but what about your spouse?

Consciously make an effort to give your “best” to each other every day.

Shower together Taking a shower with your spouse is a great way to get some alone time. It doesn’t have to lead to sex and it doesn’t have to be planned, just hop in!

Play together Make it a priority to continue having fun with your spouse. Play board games over a bottle of wine or have a movie night with root beer floats. Keep your relationship fun and light-hearted—it will help you enjoy each other more!

Say “I love you” Love is a choice, a decision and a commitment. You’re not going to feel head-over-heels in love with your spouse every day, but by telling your spouse you love him daily, you’re reminding the both of you that it’s a conscious decision that you’re choosing to make. Write it on your bathroom mirror, post it on social media—better yet, just say it!

WORTH WATCHING?

Ready Player One (PG-13) Thirty years into the future, the real world has devolved into slums and most residents take refuge in a virtual reality experience called the OASIS. When the creator designs a game to posthumously award control of it to his most deserving successor, a wild race to the finish ensues. Based on the 2010 Ernest Cline novel, director Steven Spielberg made numerous changes with the author’s approval for a fun filled, 80s pop reference-loaded thrill ride.

MONEY

IS YOUR RETIREMENT INCOME PROTECTED? Key questions to ask yourself

When it comes to retirement planning, anxiety comes with the territory. Will you be able to maintain your lifestyle in retirement? Will you have enough to cover your monthly bills without depleting your savings?

A new survey by the Alliance for Lifetime Income looked at the emotional and physical well-being of Gen X and Baby Boomer households and compared those with some form of protected lifetime income, such as an annuity and/ or pension, to those that were unprotected and relying solely on savings and Social Security.

Eighty-eight percent of protected households say they are confident that their retirement money will help them achieve their lifestyle goals, while only sixty-three percent of unprotected households feel confident.

Here are nine key questions you should ask your financial advisor to make sure that you’re on track:

1. Why is protected monthly income in retirement important?

2. How much protected monthly income will I need in retirement?

3. What if my expected monthly income is less than what I need to last my lifetime?

4. What is an annuity?

5. Are there costs associated with guaranteed protected income?

6. What if I need access to my money in an annuity?

7. Can annuities help protect me from investment losses?

8. How do I know that my protected income is safe?

9. Are there other strategies for protected monthly income?

Discussing these topics with your financial advisor can help you become one step closer to creating a financial plan that delivers what you need to live the life you want!

This 10-20 minute routine focuses on getting rid of trash and putting everything in its place to leave things looking neat and tidy.

What you need: • Garbage bag • Recycling bag • Laundry basket • Dampened microfiber cloth The goal of tidying up (verses cleaning) is simple— you’re focusing on those items at eye level! Here are some tips to make your home look tidy, organized and clutter-free.

• Set your timer for 10 minutes and get a laundry basket, dampened cloth, recycling bag and a garbage bag. Choose a starting point.

• Begin by picking up all items you can see that are not in their place. If they belong in another room, place them in your basket until your reach the room the item belongs in. If you need to toss items in the garbage (or recycling) place those items in the bag.

Anything that is out of place or belongs in another room can go in the laundry basket, as well, and can be dealt with at a later point.

• Use the damp microfiber cloth to do quick cleans (i.e. wipe away a fingerprint, touch up a dust ring you see, remove scuff marks on the wall etc.).

This is not heavy-duty clean up time—you are just touching up the glaring messes.

Tricks for getting ready for company when you’re in a hurry

• Organize items by lining them up or straightening them out. If you have stacks of papers, straighten them neatly and make sure the edges are together.

If you have a lampshade tilted to one side, take a moment to center it.

We use two-components, solvent, polyurethane UV, absorbers – NOT single-component acrylic.

MR. CLEAN

MAKE A QUICK PASS AT TIDYING UP

• Finish off by taking the garbage directly to the garbage bin and taking all the items in the laundry basket to a place in the house that won’t be visited and promise yourself you’ll deal with it later.

TECHNOLOGY

Wi-Fi, you can do that. If you have a reading app for books you’ve downloaded, you don’t even need the Wi-Fi.

STEPPING UP TO A TABLET

Are you ready for a different computing experience?

Chances are a tablet won’t come with a keyboard, unless you get one fancy enough to attach to a Bluetooth keyboard. Otherwise you’ll type right on the screen. You won’t need a mouse.

What do you buy after you have your cellphone but you’re not ready for a full-size computer? Chances are a tablet might be a good next step for your technology fix.

Here are a few tips on how to pick out a tablet: • Try to sample different models in stores, such as Apple iPads and Android, and play with the various sizes. The 9.7- to 10.1-inch display sizes are a good place to start; the 12-inch models can be heavy, but may be easier on the eyes.

Tablets are like oversized cellphones in their capabilities, only better. With tablets you can check mail, watch videos, make a grocery list, share pictures, check the weather, play games and look around the Internet.

Some tablets have drawing capabilities with a special pen.

• Read the reviews online. You’ll want to pay attention to battery life, weight, price and ease of typing.

If you have Wi-Fi in your house, a tablet can connect to it without incurring additional fees to connect to the phone carrier.

Tablets are portable and easier to tote around. If you want to take your tablet out to lunch and read online news while you eat, assuming the restaurant has

Don’t forget to add in the cost of any extra goodies you want, like the drawing pen if your tablet can use it, and a new case.

If you enjoy playing music, investigate the cost of Bluetooth speakers.

Velcro came to market in 1957, after a Swiss inventor named George De Mestral spent nearly 10 years developing the idea. His inspiration came to him in 1948 on a hike, when he had difficulty removing tenacious little burrs from his clothes. He reasoned that if he could create synthetic burrs, they could be used as fasteners.

Lawmakers in the state of Alabama once thought it necessary to pass a law forbidding the operation of a vehicle while wearing a blindfold.

Helpful tips for adjusting your attitutde

Let’s face it, sometimes waking up on the wrong side of the day just can’t be avoided, but how you handle the rest of the day is absolutely in your control. The next time you encounter one of these situations, remind yourself of the solution and get your day back on track.

You wake up feeling terrible.

Suggestion: Take some extra time for yourself.

When you are stressed or don’t feel well, it’s easy to just try to get through the day. Before you sabotage your entire day, however, take a few minutes to care for yourself. Take an extra 15 minutes for a hot shower or make time to have coffee with a good friend. Being kind to yourself can be one of the best ways to equip you to take good care of your responsibilities.

You’re dreading a looming deadline.

Suggestion: Get moving.

It’s amazing how it’s so easy to procrastinate when a deadline is looming. Instead of focusing your attention on everything except the task you need to accomplish, break your project down into smaller pieces. Then schedule time in between each task to take a walk, dance to your favorite song or workout. Getting your body active will not only provide your body with a great break, it will make your brain more productive.

You have a million tasks on your to-do list, and you’re getting frantic.

Suggestion: Breathe.

As soon as that chaotic feeling takes over your mind, stop what you’re doing and start concentrating on breathing. Deep breathing can reduce anxiety and tension. It also gets more oxygen to your brain, which will help you make better decisions. Also, take a moment to look at your to-do list, and prioritize what really needs to be done in this moment.

meal. Consider sharing an entrée with a friend, saving half your meal for later, ordering from the kid’s menu or choosing appetizers instead of a full meal.

MAINTAIN YOUR HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Tips for striking the balance between dieting and enjoy food

6. Start green. Begin with a side salad to sneak in a serving of veggies and prevent overdoing it once your main meal arrives. Hold the croutons and cheese and ask for the dressing on the side.

1. Be choosy. Don’t default to your neighborhood greasy spoon just to grab a bite. Try something new and make it special!

7. Have it your way. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want. Seek out lighter preparations. Think steamed, broiled and grilled instead of breaded, battered and fried.

2. Go online before you dine. Most restaurants have their menus online.

Make a game plan beforehand so you won’t be tempted when you arrive.

8. Make reservations. Nothing’s worse than waiting when you’re hungry. When you’re seated, your desperate tummy will be calling the shots.

3. Know your meal plan. Commit to ordering foods like lean protein and veggies, steering clear of calorie bomb add-ons like heavy dressings and condiments.

4. Don’t skip out on breakfast or snacks so you can splurge. Being overly hungry makes you likely to overindulge. Skipping meals can lead to a blood sugar crash and subsequent snacking, throwing you off track.

9. Stay hydrated. According to a recent study, drinking just over two cups of water, 30 minutes before a meal, helped dieters consume fewer calories and lose 44 percent more weight than those who didn’t hydrate before meals. Bring a water bottle in the car with you so you feel fuller when you arrive.

5. Be the portion police. Restaurant portions are often two or three times the amount you need for any given

Using these strategies, you can visit restaurants without the guilt or risk of sabotaging your healthy lifestyle!

HERE’S A TIP

TIP 1 On a road trip, put items you’ll need along the way into a laundry basket that can be easily accessed during your trip. There’s no need to undo the Tetris-like organization job of the other items if everything you need to have on hand is in the basket.

TIP 2 Use a set of salad tongs for a blinds duster; just wrap a microfiber cloth around each of the tongs and secure it with a rubber band or two. Then use the tongs to grab and glide along each blind.

Even the grandkids can get behind this dusting job!

VETERANS POST Often thieves are not that bright. They don’t count on the VAOIG—the Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General— to catch them, which usually happens.

In Florida, a veteran was indicted on grounds of theft after claiming benefits for 100 percent disability for blindness.

He’d collected those benefits for 16 years. He got caught because he had a driver’s license and was recorded doing yard work, washing his vehicle and driving. He could get up to 10 years in the federal pen for stealing over a halfmillion dollars in benefits.

TIP 3 Love tacos but hate the mess? Try using coffee filters to hold the taco and peel back the paper as you eat. It will keep the food from falling out, even if the shell cracks.

In Kansas, a scammer (also a veteran, unfortunately) claimed severe vision problems and collected benefits. He also drove to and from his medical appointments, with his wife switching seats with him a few blocks from the hospital.

TIP 4 Got dry, cracked heels from wearing flip-flops and sandals? Try applying a layer of petroleum jelly to your feet before bed and cover with socks.

If you can’t sleep with socks, do it in in the evening while watching TV. In a week or so you’ll have much softer feet!

In Missouri, a salesman submitted over $600,000 in phony invoices to a Department of Veterans Affairs medical facility for tools and other commercial products. This went on for three years, which raises the question: How could he hand over that many invoices without it raising some alarms?

GOLF TIPS

CHOOSE THE RIGHT GOLF BALLS Here’s what to look for

There is nothing worse for golfers than wasting a good swing. Maybe it was a perfect drive on the range right before tee off. Or maybe, you wasted a good swing because your golf ball was a piece of junk altogether.

More often than not, the biggest mistake player’s make is they use the wrong type of ball. If the golf ball does not suit the player or the circumstance, then the overall outcome of the shot will be adversely affected.

If so, choose a balata. This is a softer ball, and allows for more spin. If you are a higher handicap, you need more distance and durability. This is where a good twopiece ball will be best. This ball has a harder cover and less backspin, which allows you to hit it farther.

What are the elements doing?

It’s important to look at things like the weather and the course conditions when choosing a ball. If the course has been deluged with rain, then you will need a ball that will travel farther and produces less spin. If you are playing on a rock hard, sun-scorched track, choose something softer that will land soft and spin.

Basically, there are two things to consider when choosing the correct ball:

Remember, you can cut off a few strokes per round by doing nothing more than choosing the correct ball.

It’s a good idea to keep a few of each in your bag and practice with them. Learn how they feel. See how you like them.

What are you looking for?

Are you a low handicap looking for spin and control?

Figure out which one to use so you can get an edge on your partners even before you tee off!

MOMENTS IN TIME

WHAT HAPPENED IN HISTORY

Big events that occurred in the month of August

August 9, 1936 Black American track star Jesse Owens wins his fourth gold medal at the 1936 Berlin Olympics in the 4x100meter relay. His team’s world record of 39.8 seconds would stand for 20 years. He also won gold in those Olympics in the 100m, 200m and the long jump.

August 11, 1973 “American Graffiti,” a nostalgic coming-of-age tale set in the car-centric culture of suburban California, is released in theaters across the U.S. It’s directed by George Lucas.

August 16, 1896 While salmon fishing near the Klondike River in Canada’s Yukon Territory, George Carmack reportedly spots nuggets of gold in a creek bed. His lucky discovery sparks the last great gold rush in the American West.

August 17, 1969 The grooviest event in music history—the Woodstock Music Festival—draws to a close after three days of

peace, love and rock ‘n’ roll in upstate New York.

August 17, 1978 The Double Eagle II completes the first transatlantic balloon flight by landing near Paris, France, 137 hours after lifting off from Preque Isle, Maine. The helium-filled balloon was piloted by three: Ben Abruzzo, Maxie Anderson and Larry Newman. The team would later be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 1979.

August 18, 1227 Genghis Khan, the Mongol leader who forged an empire stretching from the east coast of China west to the Aral Sea, dies in camp during a campaign against the Chinese kingdom of Xi Xia. The great Khan, who was over 60 and in failing health, may have succumbed to injuries from a horse fall the previous year.

August 20, 1920 Seven men, including legendary all-around athlete and football star Jim Thorpe, meet to organize a professional football league at the Jordan and Hupmobile Auto Showroom in Canton, Ohio. The meeting would lead to the creation of the American Professional Football Conference (APFC), the forerunner to the hugely successful National Football League.

August 21, 2004 American swimmer Michael Phelps wins his eighth medal of the 2004 Athens Olympics.

August 31, 1997 Britain’s Princess Diana died at age 36 from massive internal injuries suffered in a high-speed car crash, reportedly after being pursued by photographers. The crash occurred shortly after midnight in Paris inside a tunnel along the Seine River at the Pont de l’Alma bridge, less than a half mile north of the Eiffel Tower. Also killed in the crash were Diana’s companion, Dodi Fayed, 42, and chauffeur Henri Paul. A fourth person in the car, bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, was seriously injured.

AAA SENIOR PLACEMENT AZ A Message from Sue Royer “I was born and raised in inner city Chicago, the sixth of eighteen children with fifteen brothers. Being the oldest daughter, I was always a caregiver which I believe influenced me to pursue work in the healthcare industry. Today, I have three daughters and five grandchildren.

Years ago, I volunteered for hospice and knew immediately that helping seniors was my calling. I was soon employed by hospice but I felt something was missing. I realized it was the limited time I was able to spend with my clients. Having my own business allows me to provide the intimate hands on service needed in our community. I am committed to our seniors throughout their lives and I thank the community for the opportunity to serve.”

Choose to focus your time, energy and conversation around people who inspire you, support you and help you to grow into your happiest, strongest, wisest self.

—Karen Salmansohn

BUCKLE UP

INSPIRE

Adventure is calling!

Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new. —Brian Tracy

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.

—Henry David Thoreau

Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle. —Napoleon Hill

Hearing “no” a lot of times usually tells you either you’re crazy or you’re on the right track, and you don’t know which one it is until you finally launch.

—Mike Krieger Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave. —Mary Tyler Moore I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.

‘Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.

—Leonardo da Vinci

The biggest risk is not taking any risk...In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.

—Mark Zuckerberg Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain...To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices—today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it. —Kevyn Aucoin A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

—Colin Powell

FLASHBACK ANSWERS From pg. 15

1. A clavioline, but it had been reworked

by Max Crook (playing the solo) into what he called the Musitron. In “Runaway,” the bridge was written first, before the rest of the song.

DENTISTS YOU CAN TRUST & TALK TO

2. The Halos, in 1961.

The song went to No. 25 on Billboard.

3. “I’m Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby,” in 1973 on the R&B chart. The song also charted (although not as well) on international charts.

4. The Staccatos, until 1968. Their big hit was “Signs” in 1971.

5. “The Worst That Could Happen,” by the Brooklyn Bridge in 1968.

Oddly enough, the song appeared on the Clear Channel Communications 165-song list memo to all its stations after Sept. 11 of songs that should not be played on the air.
