Aileron, drag, lift, thrust — all terms pilots must learn if they are to get the

“wheels up” and take off, whether on a seaplane, crop duster or a jumbo jet.

Let’s look to the skies!y Orville and Wilbur Wright built the “Wright Flyer 1,” the first gas-powered airplane in the early 1900s. Orville was at the controls for the first flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, that was airborne 12 seconds and flew 121 feet (37 m) on December 17, 1903. Wilbur flew the longest flight that day for 59 seconds, covering 852 feet (260 m). y Orville and Wilbur were awarded a total of 15 honorary degrees from colleges and universities in Europe and the United States, but neither received high school diplomas.y Charles Lindbergh won $25,000 when he completed the first solo transatlantic flight in 1927. Businessmen in St. Louis, Missouri, provided the financial backing so he named his plane the Spirit of St. Louis. After the successful flight, he became quite a hero and was sponsored by the Daniel Guggenheim Fund on a nationwide tour. He flew the Spirit of St. Louis to 92 cities in 48 states, gave 147 speeches and rode 1,290 miles (2076 km) in parades. Lindbergh’s famous flight was 3,600 miles (5,790 km) and lasted 33 1/2 hours.y Airliners today can fly Lindbergh’s transatlantic route from New York to Paris in fewer than seven hours. y Chuck Yeager was the first pilot to fly faster than the speed of sound — supersonic — about 768 miles per hour (1,236 km per hour) at sea level. He accomplished the feat in a Bell X-1 jet on October 14, 1947. Yeager is a retired brigadier general with the U.S. Air Force and still flying at 87 years old. He lives in Penn Valley, California.y Seaplanes are used in more areas than you may think. Vancouver, British Columbia, has a number of seaplanes used by commuters from the outlying islands as well as by tourists. Used for taking off and landing on water, the most famous seaplanes, called “flying

This is very sneaky. If you go into the hospital and then have nursing-home care, Medicare might not pay for that care if you didn’t stay in the hospital long enough.It seems that when you’re in the hospital, you might not actually be “in” the hospital as an admitted patient. You might be “observed,” which is not the same thing.Sometimes a doctor will send you to the hospital, and you’ll be observed for a day or two to see if you should really be admitted. It seems that a criteria program called InterQual makes decisions about this. Its web page says that InterQual is “the undisputed gold standard in evidence-based clinical decision support.” Isn’t that nice. Whatever happened to our doctors deciding how sick we are?And how do you know what your status is? You have to ask. Theoretically, you could stay in observation mode for weeks and never actually be admitted. Medicare considers that to be outpatient care, and it won’t pay for all you get while you’re in the hospital.

Any nursing-home care you need after that won’t be paid for by Medicare unless you’ve spent three days in the hospital as an actual admitted patient.A Medicare pamphlet says: “If you’re in the hospital more than a few hours, always ask your doctor or the hospital staff if you’re an inpatient or an outpatient.” And no matter how long you’re “observed,” that time doesn’t count toward a genuine inpatient three-day stay if you need to move on to a nursing facility.To find out more about this, you can call Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). Or go online to medicare.gov/publications and put the publication ID number in the search box: 11435. Be sure to scroll down and read all the examples in the chart.

Thought of the Week“Manisleasthimselfwhenhetalksinhisownperson.Givehimamask,

andhewilltellyouthetruth.”— Oscar Wilde

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read Linda’s letter (“Cat’s Aim Is Off the Mark”), and we also had the same problem. I bought a large plastic tote that was “above the aim” and used that in place of the lid by setting it up sideways and sliding the litter box into it. Problem solved! — Sharon L., Kissimmee, Fla.DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We used a small doggie litter box to address this problem with an older cat at my workplace. We also placed pee pads underneath and against the wall just in case her aim was way off. — Ann in Rochester, N.Y.DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I had this problem with “Gabriel,” our 8-year-old Maine Coon. After observing him, I realized that as a senior cat, he couldn’t squat to pee as well as he used to and so he would overshoot the box. I finally made Gabriel a “custom” litter box that solved the issue permanently. I bought a large Rubbermaid storage container and simply cut a doorway into the side of it for him. With the

container’s almost 18-inch walls, there simply is no overshooting or spraying over the top. You have to use a box cutter or carpet knife to cut out the opening (be very careful not to slip and cut yourself). Both Gabriel and I are happy campers! — Brett N., AtlantaDEAR READERS: Thanks for writing, all of you! I’ve definitely had a lot of responses, suggesting that even though a cat missing the litter box is usually a minor issue, it’s very, very common. Again, if you’re concerned about a cat’s spraying over the edge of the box, bring it to the vet for a checkup, just to rule out anything physically wrong.

WHEELS UP! (continued):boats,” were the Pan American Clippers in the 1930s. Their four engines propelled the planes at almost 200 miles per hour (322 km/hour). Pan Am, as it was called, was the first airline to cross the Pacific, the first to offer regular commercial service across the North Atlantic, and the first to establish extensive routes to South America. They had a fleet of 25 “flying boats.”y The largest “flying boat” ever built was the H-4 Hercules, better known as the “Spruce Goose.” Henry Kaiser, head of a large shipbuilding company, and Howard Hughes, a well-known businessman, movie producer, aeronautical engineer and aviator, joined forces to build flying transport planes capable of moving troops and supplies across the Atlantic for World War II efforts. y The “Spruce Goose” was finished in 1947, two years too late to help the Allied forces in the war. Disappointed with the timing, Hughes (Kaiser had left the project) was determined to show that his plane was flight-worthy.y Controversy over the amount of money spent on the “goose” led to a government investigation. Hughes ordered his team to prepare the plane for tests on his arrival back from the investigation. On November 2, 1947, with newsmen and others gathered, he glided the “Spruce Goose” across a three-mile stretch of the Long Beach, California, harbor. On the third taxi Hughes stunned the crowd as he lifted the seaplane off the water. On the only flight it ever made, it flew

Brothers! In fact, the first flight could have been done within the coach class section of a 747-400.y The Concorde is the fastest airliner to ever fly in regular revenue service. The top record-setting flight was by British Airways from London to New York on February 7, 1996. The flight was completed in 2 hours, 52 minutes, and 59 seconds.y The first experimental flight of the Concorde was in 1969. The airliner was developed jointly by the French and British and flew in commercial service for Air France and British Airways for about 30 years. Following the airliner’s lone tragic crash in 2000 where 113 people were killed, service was resumed in 2001 and continued until 2003 when all Concordes were retired. In recognition of the Concorde’s service, British Airways timed the last three flights on July

Cash In on ClutterIf you know you’ll need extra cash for the holidays, consider this: There is cash in clutter. By beginning now to unload the clutter, you can accomplish two things: getting rid of extras that could be stifling you, and making a little extra money.Where’s the clutter? It’s potentially everywhere. Consider consigning clothing you haven’t worn in two years, and sell toys the children don’t play with anymore. Have you done a lot of “retail therapy” either in stores or at yard sales, bringing home knick-knacks you end up dusting every week? Old watches, musical instruments, iPods and mp3 players may have some value to someone else, especially for their parts. Sell duplicates of tools and stereo speakers.If you have multiple computers, your old reject might be just the thing for someone else. The same goes for your older monitors and keyboards. If you’ve amassed a large collection of videos and DVDs (that no one ever watches anymore), sell them and clear up some space. The same goes for books and craft items or hobby supplies that looked appealing when you bought them.If you have far too many inherited items that you’ve kept out of a sense of obligation, consider whether it’s time to let them go. For items that could be valuable, get an appraisal as to their worth.The biggest clutter sign of all is if you rent a storage unit to hold the excesses of your life. If you’ve had that unit for more than six months and haven’t visited it, that’s a sure sign that you can live without the contents. Spend a few weekends going through the boxes you’ve stored to see what you can sell. Not only will you pocket the cash, but you might be able to downsize to a smaller unit if there are items you absolutely must store.Even if you hire an online auction company to take care of the actual pricing, shipping and photography of your items, you’ll come out ahead without having spent the time to micromanage online bids.If you end up giving items to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, you can still net a financial gain in the form of charitable tax deductions. Use a computer program called “It’s Deductible” to calculate the fair market value of what you donate.

for a little over a mile (1.6 km) for about one minute at an altitude of 70 feet (21 m). He showed the skeptics that the big bird could fly.y Hughes stored the “goose” in flight-ready condition in a custom-built hangar for 33 years at an annual cost of approximately $1 million. Where is it now? It is the “crown jewel” of the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, Oregon. y Pan American’s order for 25 Boeing 747 airplanes on April 13, 1966, was the launch of the “jumbo jet” program that would make Boeing the aviation icon that it is today. Boeing purchased 780 acres (316 ha) of land in Everett, Washington, for the 747 production plant. The first 747 nose section was built at the Boeing plant in Wichita, Kansas, and delivered to the Everett plant on November 21, 1967. The Boeing 747 is longer than the distance of the first flight made by the Wright

Don’t Count Edwards OutCarl Edwards, who won nine races in 2008, hasn’t won any since.

Yet Edwards, who was runner-up to Jimmie Johnson in the 2008 Chase for the Sprint Cup, is back in it this year and actually accumulated more points in the final 10 races of the regular season than any other driver.Consistency has become Edwards’ key.A 10th-place finish in the Sylvania 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway left Edwards, 31, in ninth place in the Sprint Cup standings, 95 points behind leader Denny Hamlin.Edwards, of Columbia, Mo., felt good to put New Hampshire — and a decent finish — behind him.“Everyone knows that the meat of the Chase is mile-and-a-half tracks like Kansas and California,” he said. “You definitely want to get a good start, but I don’t think anyone can set the tone of the Chase here (New Hampshire), just because it’s kind of a unique track.”The challenge, of course, is beating Jimmie Johnson, who has won the past four championships.“I think that we have proven…that we can score more

points than anyone in the series, and that’s what it is going to take,” said Edwards. “Jimmie (Johnson) did a good job…of explaining that you have to have something to hang your hat on. You either have to have wins or you have to be very consistent. You have to have some sort of thing to build your team around.“We are building our hopes on the fact that we have shown, over an extended period, that we can score better average finishes than everyone else. Now we just have to go do that. That’s what I am counting on: the ability to go do that.”

Edwards has spent his entire Sprint Cup career driving Roush Fenway Racing’s No. 99 Ford. In 2005, his first full season, he wound up third in the Chase behind that year’s champion, Tony Stewart, and Edwards’ teammate, Greg Biffle.Consistency is a recent addition to Edwards’ repertoire. All 16 of his Cup victories have taken place in three seasons — 2005, 2007 and 2008 — but he has qualified for the Chase in five of his six full seasons.Edwards won the Nationwide Series championship in 2007.

WHEELS UP! (continued):24, 2003, to land within five minutes of each other at Heathrow Airport in London. Most of the planes are now at museums around the world.y Do you know which U.S. city claims to be the “Aviation Capital of the World?” Wichita, Kansas. It has a history of aviation entrepreneurs including Lloyd Stearman, Walter Beech and Clyde Cessna. The Kansas Aviation Museum showcases the city’s claim with the Wichita Flight Festival held every September. y In 1929, Wichita had 11 airports, 100 aircraft-related businesses and 12 flying schools. About 2,000 people employed in the aircraft plants could produce 120 airplanes a week. Wichita was the main supplier of airplanes needed for World War II. y According to an ABC news report on “Nightline” on May 5, 2010, U.S. passengers involved in airplane crashes in the last 30 years have had a 95.6-percent survival rate. Most recently this statistic was exemplified by the 2008 emergency landing of US Air Flight 1549 on New York’s Hudson River. The news media dubbed this event the “Miracle on the Hudson” because, remarkably, everyone survived. Statistically, flying is a very safe way to travel.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My mother is 69 and has, during the past few years, shown signs of memory problems. In the span of 20 minutes, she might ask the same question several times. She has trouble following the flow of conversation. I am concerned she might be forgetting her medicines. I called her physician and was told that until she forgets what things like toasters are used for, there is no real concern. Isn’t early intervention a key to treating Alzheimer’s? — M.K.ANSWER: With age, it takes more time to retrieve information from the memory than it does in youth. That’s normal. It’s also normal for older people, given a sufficient amount of time, to recall the events of the preceding day or of special occasions. They might, on occasion, find it difficult to come up with a particular word, but they should be able to continue to perform tasks like balancing a checkbook. They might misplace things, as we all do. However, they can institute a search in an orderly and methodical way.It’s not normal to forget an entire event even when

they are given promptings of what has happened. Misplacing things because the things have been put in strange places isn’t normal. An example is putting the car keys in the refrigerator. Neurologists, geriatricians (doctors who specialize in the treatment of the elderly), psychiatrists and psychologists administer tests that more precisely reflect a person’s memory and thinking capabilities. Having your mother tested isn’t a bad idea, and she should not take offense at the suggestion. Four medicines constitute the bulk of prescriptions written for Alzheimer’s disease. They are Aricept, Razadyne, Exelon and Namenda. The first three are usually prescribed for the early stages of this illness. None is a cure. They can slow its progression. Dozens of new medicines are currently under investigation.The booklet on Alzheimer’s describes this illness and its treatment in understandable terms.

OCTOBER FEaTuREd BusinEssFormerly from St. Louis, Takiya Smith,

owner of Beautique Lash & Brow has lived in Beaufort since 1996. She began her career in the beauty industry after obtaining her certification as a Permanent Makeup Professional earlier this year. She then received her certification as an Eyelash Extension and Eyebrow Threading Specialist and became a National Educator traveling throughout the U.S. to train and certify other beauty experts and cosmetologists. Ever since she was a child, Takiya’s had a passion and love for all things fashion, design and beauty. Seeing an opportunity to bring something new to this area, Takiya combined two things women love most — beauty and fashion, creating a beauty boutique that offers a select line of shoes, handbags and accessories. She then took it a unique step above, by offering and catering exclusively to the grooming and perfection of full, natural looking eyelashes and eyebrows.

Takiya’s clients are women from all ages, ethnicities and walks of life — mothers, daughters, professionals and entertainers. Men also come in for threading services for mustache/beard grooming. What has been most gratifying are the women who have opened up and shared their testimonies of overcoming cancer and have come to Beautique Lash & Brow for eyelash extensions or permanent make up to fill in eyebrows or eyelashes lost during chemotherapy. The joy and tears seen and shared in their feeling beautiful again has been nothing short of amazing and inspiring. Beautique Lash & Brow opened in Beaufort this past May and in Sept. opened a second location at Connie’s Creations in Bluffton.

As a single mother of two children, she lives everyday on purpose with a purpose. Having been blessed, Takiya teaches her children that the sky’s the limit. What’s in the near future for Beautique Lash & Brow? The sky’s the limit! Takiya sees franchise opportunities and many more boutiques opening along the East Coast.
