TIDBITS® GOES OUT

IN THE

by Patricia L. Cook

During the winter months most areas of North America are, to one degree or another, dealing with cold weather. Some people love it; others hate it. This week we’ll look at the frigid but fascinating subjects of ice fishing and icebergs, and acknowledge another way you can be left “out in the cold” that has nothing to do with the weather! • Cold is defined as “having a relatively low

temperature; having little or no warmth.” Also, in regard to behavior or personality, it can be “lacking in passion, emotion, enthusiasm” or “not affectionate, cordial, or friendly.” Possibly, you know an individual or two in that category.

• If you’ve ever been in a situation where you were ignored, neglected or forgotten, it’s likely you felt that you were “left out in the cold.” In this sense the term is used as an idiom that originated long ago in reference to someone who found themselves left outdoors without shelter. Easy to see how the “cold” term applies to those hapless individuals who find themselves in this unfortunate social situation.

• Many fishermen love to drill a hole through thick ice on a lake, drop in some bait and a bobber and wait for fish to bite! But ice fishing isn’t just for men. There are, in fact, many women enthusiasts who enjoy the activity just as much.

• Ice fishing is a major winter pastime in Canada and northern states in the U.S. that are cold enough for thick ice to form on lakes. Some great

This week Tidbits looks into the life of Queen Victoria, the noble lady who ruled Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until 1901, and holds the title of the longest reigning monarch in the United Kingdom. Her rule of 63 years and 7 months, also earns her the title of the longest reigning female monarch in history. Queen Elizabeth II has presently held the throne for almost 61 years.• Born on May 24, 1819, at Kensington Palace

in London, Victoria was the only child of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, and German-born Princess Victoria Mary Louisa of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. Christened “Alexandrina Victoria” and called “Drina” by her family, the future queen’s formal name from birth was Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria of Kent.

• Queen Victoria’s father died when she was only eight months old. Her mother was very protective, keeping her largely isolated from other children and virtually anyone that she felt to be “undesirable.”

• As is common with most children born into

nobility, Victoria was raised in an extremely sheltered childhood. She was taught at home under close supervision and shared a bedroom with her mother every night. She studied with private tutors on a regular schedule, and spent her play hours with her numerous dolls and her dog, a King Charles spaniel named Dash.

• Her first language was German, but beginning at age three her lessons included English, French, Italian, and Latin. She studied history, geography, literature and the Bible, and was taught piano, sketching, painting and social protocols. Later in life she also learned to speak Hindustani when she gained the additional title of Empress of India.

• Victoria was the granddaughter of George III and inherited the throne from her uncle William IV. Her father was one of four sons of George III, but since all of his elder brothers had died leaving no surviving children in line for the throne, she became William IV’s successor. Victoria was elevated to that throne at the young age of 18, with her coronation postponed until a year later on June 28, 1838.

• In 1840, when Queen Victoria was 21 years old, she married her first cousin, German-born Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Prince Albert became her major confidant and advisor. He helped her learn to rule in the constitutional role where the monarchy had considerable influence, but the political powers were essentially those of Parliament. Other advisors to Victoria during her first years as queen were her Prime Minister Lord Melbourne and her uncle, King Leopold of Belgium.

5. “Fire and Rain,” by James Taylor in 1970. Rumor and myth surrounding the song are wrong. The “Suzanne” mentioned was someone he met, not his girlfriend who died while flying to see him. The other verses talk of his time in rehab centers, wanting to “make a stand” against drug addic-tion.

advantages of ice fishing are that not as many anglers are trying to crowd you out of your spot, there aren’t any nuisance insects to “bug” you, and you’re not likely to perspire (unless you dressed too warmly!).

• Ice fishing is a fun activity, but those who are experienced in the sport will caution newcomers to always be aware of and respect the thickness of the ice. Falling through thin ice into freezing cold water while dressed in heavy clothing can just totally spoil your day.

• In fact, there are lots of ways to get yourself into serious trouble out on the ice. In 2009, over 100 fishermen were stranded in different incidents on the Great Lakes when they became stranded on ice that broke away and drifted from land. In such cases, the Coast Guard must be called upon for rescue by boat or helicopter.

• It is recommended that ice thickness for someone fishing alone (not really advisable) be at least four inches (10 cm) thick. For groups, where several are standing on the ice, the thickness should be at least 7.5 inches (18 cm). It is not recommended to take vehicles out on any ice that is less than a foot (28 cm) thick.

• Canada is number one in the greatest number of ice fishing enthusiasts. When the figures were tabulated in 2000, they found that Canadian anglers spent the combined grand total of an astounding 4,489,296 days ice fishing!

• More than 60% of the fish Canadians catch through the ice are caught and released. Because of the common practice of CPR, “catch -- photograph -- release,” less than one third of their catch winds up in the fry pan.

• Minnesota is nicknamed the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” but there are actually 11,842 lakes in the state that are 10 acres or larger. With a

combination of that many lakes and its long cold winters, it’s little wonder that ice fishing is such a popular sport.

• Minnesota is known for its abundance of ice fishing shelters set up on the state’s many lakes. If you’ve ever flown into or out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport during the winter months you have probably noticed the patterns of these shelters dotting the frozen snow-covered lakes below.

• A large number of Minnesota lakes actually have ice fishing “villages” that begin to appear as soon as the ice is thick enough to safely bear the weight of snowmobiles, cars and trucks. Well-worn “roads” also begin to appear in these fish house towns as vehicles form paths and pack down the snow in their tracks.

• The portable shelters range from simple one-person tents to larger shelters that are dragged out on the ice on skids by SUV or truck. Some of the shelters are actually permanent wood structures that are amazingly elaborate. A few are so large, in fact, that they have to be towed out in sections. Some have lofts with full-sized beds, stoves, bathrooms, satellite TV, kitchenetts, balconys and, oh yes -- round holes in the floor for fishing!

• M i n n e s o t a has strict rules that fish house owners must follow. Any shelter that is left unattended o v e r n i g h t needs to be licensed, and a pre-thaw deadline is set each year in March for anglers to remove their shelter from the lake, or face stiff fines -- especially if left too long into the spring thaw and it sinks through the ice!

• It is estimated that some 150,000 ice fishing shelters are set up in Minnesota every year. The state’s Department of Natural Resources estimates that about 30% of all the fish caught in the state in any given year are caught while the lakes are frozen.

• Another frozen phenomenon that floats in the water is the iceberg. Icebergs are massive formations of ice that developed on land, then broke off to float free in a lake or ocean. The word “iceberg” originates from the Dutch “ijsberg,” which means ice mountain.

• Icebergs are found in all shapes and sizes, from comparatively small pieces to mammoth ice islands that can be several miles in diameter. Officially, the term “iceberg” refers to floating ice larger than 16 feet (5 m) in diameter. Smaller icebergs are known by sailors as “growlers” and

“bergy bits.” Because they are smaller, they are harder to spot and therefore very dangerous to unwary ships. Only about ten percent of an iceberg’s overall size is visible above water.

• Although most icebergs are found floating in oceans of salt water they are comprised of pure fresh water. Most of the icebergs on earth are found in the frigid salt waters surrounding Antarctica and in the northern Atlantic Ocean.

• Most icebergs originate near Greenland. “Iceberg Alley” is the name appropriately given to an area from Baffin Bay, off Greenland’s west coast, to the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador on the east coast of Canada. This

Typical two-person ice fishing house on a northern Minnesota lake.

1. What name is given to an iceberg that breaks off from a glacier?

2. What international organization was formed after the sinking of the Titanic?

When the ice in icebergsmelts it makes a distinctive fizzing

sound, which is where the term “bergy seltzer” originates.The sound occurs when tiny

compressed air bubbles in the ice “pops”. The bubbles are

formed when the air is trapped in layers of snow that are

then compressed over time forming glacial ice.

• The United Kingdom was already an established constitutional monarchy, in which the Sovereign held relatively little direct political power. Privately, Victoria attempted to influence government policy and ministerial appointments. Publicly, she became a national icon, and was identified with strict standards of personal morality.

• The British E m p i r e became quite p o w e r f u l during Queen V i c t o r i a ’ s reign. She ruled about one quarter of the world’s landmass and approximately one quarter of the world’s p o p u l a t i o n , about 450 million people. The land under British rule was so vast that it was said “the sun never sets on the British Empire.” It encompassed the globe from Canada to the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and India. India was considered the “Jewel in the Crown” and Queen Victoria was given the title of Empress of India in 1876.

• Victoria saw the expansion of the British Empire as a benign power, protecting the people of lands under her domain from more aggressive powers or cruel rulers. “It is not in our custom to annexe countries”, she said, “unless we are obliged and forced to do so.”

• Queen Victoria’s long reign became known as the Victorian Era; a time of great industrial, scientific, political, military, and trade advance-ments for Great Britain, as well as her strong emphasis on personal morality.

• The Queen and Prince Albert had nine children, all of whom, under the watchful management of Victoria, married into royal and noble families across the continent. The marriage unions succeeded in tying them all together, earning Victoria the nickname, “the Grandmother of Europe”.

• When Prince Albert died in 1861, Victoria was deeply devastated. She entered a state of mourning, avoiding public appearances, rarely setting foot in London, and wearing only black, all of which continued for the remaining 40

years of her life. Her seclusion earned her the name “widow of Windsor”. She was the last monarch of the House of Hanover.

• Her son, Albert Edward, became King Edward VII at her death in 1901. King Edward was the first monarch of the House of Windsor, which is still in power today. Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, are both great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria.

● It was Martin Luther King Jr. who made the following sage observation: “Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunder-standing from people of ill will.”

● Are you a dromomaniac? If you travel compulsively, you are.

● The famed statue Venus de Milo was lost to history for nearly 2,000 years. No one knew of its existence until 1820, when a Greek peasant tilling a field on the is-land of Milos hit stone -- several carved blocks of stone, to be specific. Within a few weeks, archaeologists arrived and took the statue of Aphrodite to France. King Louis XVIII dubbed it the Venus de Milo and donated it to the Louvre, where it remains today.

● You might be surprised to learn that Humphrey Bogart wasn’t the producers’ first choice for the role of Rick in “Casa-blanca.” An actor named George Raft was originally offered the part, but he turned it down because he didn’t like the script.

● In 2010, a new species of slug was discovered in the mountains of Borneo. It is distinguished from other species of slug by its novel method of mating: It shoots its mate with a so-called love dart made of calcium carbonate and containing hor-mones. The researchers nicknamed the gastropods “ninja slugs.”

● If you’re traveling to Kansas any-time soon, be sure to remember that it is against the law in that state to catch fish with your bare hands.

● During the original run of the classic 1960s TV series “Gilligan’s Island,” some viewers took the show rather too seri-ously. Several telegrams were sent to the U.S. Coast Guard asking why the poor people hadn’t yet been rescued. *** Thought for the Day: “I want a man who is kind and understanding.

While many China cabinets and hutches contain tea cup collections in the homes of both wealthy and not-so-wealthy North Americans, these fine breakables are not just for display or for special occasions. Many homes around the world use their tea sets on a regular basis. • The reason most tea cups are considered

“China,” is that they originated in that country. The first tea cups did not have handles and were called tea bowls. Some of the early tea bowls used in Europe were more like deep saucers and were used so that the tea cooled quicker.

• Saucers, as we know them, to accompany tea cups did not appear until 1700. Tea cups with handles were not seen until Robert Adams came up with the idea in about 1750.

• The English embraced Mr. Adams designs. They thought tea bowls were messy and people often burned their hands on them. Robert Adams designed cups that were taller and wider than the base and the saucers he introduced, more flat like small plates, were welcomed as a place to let a hot cup rest. His designs quickly became the standard for what became known as the “English Tea Service Set.”

• Since the English started the tradition of putting cream and sugar in their tea, Mr. Adams also started designing tea pots, sugar holders, cream/milk containers, and even matching tea spoons. His sets were made from porcelain that was strong but looked beautiful and delicate. English porcelain tea cups have a translucent look when held up to a light.

• The Chinese still prefer to drink tea from pottery-ware. They use what is known as “purple clay” from the Yixing, Jianqsu, and Jinqdezhen regions of China.

• Chinese purple clay cups are thicker than

most pottery and without handles. The thicker pottery protects hands from burns that are possible with thinner China cups.

• Japanese tea drinkers also use handle-less pottery or sometimes ceramic cups. They usually have hand painted designs with poems, flowers or even geisha girls. Some Japanese tea ware is made with innovative lids and strainers built into the cups.

• Middle Eastern countries enjoy tea in tea bowls or glasses. Tea glasses are preferred in Morocco. They are usually very festive and decorated with colorful artistic details.

• Tea in India is usually of the Chai variety and served in small glass tea cups or tea bowls.

• If you visit Tibet you are likely to be served their famous (or is it infamous?) yak butter tea. This different tea is not served using an English tea service but is presented in a large tea pot and is usually poured and imbibed from wooden tea bowls.

• Russians embraced tea as a beverage in the early 1600s and it was a major part of a trade treaty with China establishing a border between the two countries. Russian tea service is centered on a massive tea vessel, called a samovar, similar to Tibetan pots used for yak butter tea. The tea is served in a glass that is placed in a silver (or other metal) holder called a podstakanniki. Tea and vodka are the most popular drinks in Russia.

• Wherever you travel it is likely that you will be able to order tea. It is one of the most popular drinks worldwide. The royal families of England were the ones who made tea services popular for formal and informal visiting. It was during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837-1901) that the modern six piece tea sets were introduced to the public.

If you need an attorney as a result of a serious personal injury, there are certain things you should consider.

We feel it is inappropriate for a lawyer or representative to contact you as a result of an accident. In fact, unsolicited personal contact is prohibited by the State Bar. The decision to contact an attorney is yours and yours alone.

This means that you pay no attorney’s fees unless your lawyer either negotiates a settlement with your approval or wins a judgement in court. This method of compensation makes legal representation available to many who otherwise could not afford it. It also means that if your case has merit, you can be well represented by a qualifi ed attorney.

Ask friends or attorneys you know for references of personal injury lawyers, or check with the California Bar Association. It’s the best way to fi nd an ethical, competent attorney with the trial experience it takes to bring your case to a fair conclusion. Beware of the promises and claims some attorneys make in their ads.

Q: I heard that Luke Perry and Jen-nie Garth are planning to do a project together soon. Is that true? -- Dahlia A., via e-mail

A: When I spoke with Luke recently, he was mum on the sub-ject of Jennie, but he WAS eager to tell me about his latest Hallmark Movie Channel movie: “Goodnight for Justice: Queen of Hearts,” which premieres Satur-day, Jan. 26, and re-airs throughout the week. (Check local listings.) On his love for his “Good-night” series, and Westerns in general, Luke told me: “I don’t need any aliens with my cowboys. I’ll just take my cowboys straight up if that’s OK with everybody else. We all talk about Westerns. There were some great ones made. “What I love about (the “Goodnight”) mov-ies is that you know what you’re going to get going in, which makes it like the old Western serials that would play before the movies. There’s a bit of a cliff-hanger element, and the guy rides off in the end. But if he comes back the next time, you know there’ll be some more shooting and some girls and some action, and another little bit of the story will get told. That’s what I wanna do. I’ve never felt really compelled to do the bigger, better, more bang, more stuff. You can still make a good Western.” ***

Q: Has “Body of Proof” been renewed for another season? -- George T., via e-mail

A: The Dana Delany-starring medical dra-ma will return to ABC for its third season on Feb. 5 at 10/9c with a two-part season premiere (with the con-clusion airing the following Tuesday). This season, Dr. Megan Hunt tackles the biggest case of her ca-reer, and her biggest personal mystery life: Did her father really commit suicide, or was he murdered? ***

Q: I love this season of “The Biggest Loser,” but I wondered if they are nervous about including kids this time around? -- Harriet W., Owings Mills, Md.

A: I spoke with host Alison Sweeney and asked her just that. Being a mom herself, she told me that the show plans to help these kids in the best way possible, and won’t make them submit to the grueling programs that the adults go through. “The first thing we did was to take into con-sideration the age of the contestants, and how we could best help and guide them,” she said. “They don’t live on the ranch; they are not going to be com-peting. We encourage the families to also change their nutrition choices, and get them out there and exercising. This is all done in a kid-friendly way.” ***

Q: Can you tell me when Charlie Sheen’s “Anger Management” returns for a new season? -- John R., via e-mail

A: The FX comedy -- whose series pre-miere was the most watched cable-sitcom premiere in history -- returned on Jan. 17. The network has or-dered 90 new episodes, which will be produced over the next two years.

Is Your Big Bank Robbing You Blind? Bank fees are like a leaky faucet. Drip by drip, there goes your money right down the drain. Remember the good old days when virtu-ally every bank was offering totally free checking? Well, you can kiss those days goodbye. Even on accounts that are still advertised as “free,” banks and credit unions alike are adding fees to con-sumer accounts -- and I mean in every sneaky way they can think of. Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Regions Bank, to name only a few, have recently attached strings to their “free” checking accounts. In the case of Wells Fargo and Regions Bank, you must maintain an average balance of at least $1,500 per month or have at least $500 of direct deposits to your account each month. This means if you have your paychecks or Social Security checks direct deposited, you would pay no monthly fee for checking; otherwise, you must pay a monthly fee of $7 or $9 at Wells Fargo, depending on how you want your statements sent to you each month. Regions Bank and Bank of America have similar new requirements. Even USAA Federal Savings Bank, which has long been a favorite of mine for not messing with “free,” has added strings that require either direct deposits or minimum balances to get free ATM use. Bank of America tried to levy a $5 monthly debit-card fee, but dropped it after customers revolted. Wells Fargo, SunTrust and Regions Bank have recently announced that they will be charging debit-card fees on certain accounts. Recent federal law capped overdraft fees and certain levies on credit cards. And the Federal Reserve this past summer limited what banks could charge merchants when consumers swipe a debit card. All of these changes have cut into banks’ profitability. But the big banks are managing to wipe away their tears, however. A recent report in Ameri-

can Banker, a trade publication, was downright giddy to announce that after falling to $31.1 billion in the third quarter of 2011, annualized overdraft revenue rose 2 percent, to $31.8 billion, in the same period last year. Whoa!! Let me paraphrase that for you: In the 92 days of July, August and September 2012, consumers coughed up $31,800,000,000 (billion!) just in overdraft fees. How is it that Ameri-cans do not have enough money to get off the con-sumer credit treadmill -- but they can easily cover $32 billion in overdraft fees in just 90 days??? And, according to a study by the Pew Safe Checking in the Electronic Age Project, 89 percent of the checking accounts offered at the 12 largest U.S. institutions now involve bank fees. For the moment, smaller banks are not following in the footsteps of their larger competi-tors. At least for now. If you look really hard, you should be able to find totally free checking, with no minimum balance requirements. Just know that somewhere there are going to be strings attached. Count on it. Read all the fine print, and ask lots of questions!

Vets Lose a Friend We’ve lost someone who was always in our corner fighting for us, Sen. Daniel K. Inouye of Ha-waii. Unlike too many of our elected officials, Sen. Inouye was truly one of us. In World War II, serving in Italy in 1945, In-ouye fought in an action that can only be described as horrific: After being shot in stomach, he contin-ued fighting and leading an assault against a Ger-man stronghold. He was holding a primed grenade that he was about to throw when he was shot in that arm, leaving the grenade in his no longer function-ing fist. Somehow he managed to grab the grenade with his other hand and toss it into a bunker. With his arm mostly severed, he continued fighting until he was shot in the leg and collapsed. Once in a field hospital, his arm was ampu-tated. For this action he received the Bronze Star, Purple Heart with oak leaf cluster and Distinguished Service Cross. That Cross should have been the Medal of Honor, but wasn’t, likely due to Inouye’s race. In-ouye was a Nisei, a Japanese American born in Ha-waii to Japanese parents who had immigrated before he was born. It wasn’t until President Bill Clinton upgraded the Cross in 2000 that Inouye received his long-overdue Medal of Honor, along with 19 others on his all-Nisei combat team. Innouye had been a senator since 1963, the second-longest serving senator, and had served in other public positions before then. It is said that in 58 years, he never lost an election. One bill he reintroduced in the Senate time and time again was to restore Memorial Day to its historical correct date, May 30, instead of the one-size-fits-all last Monday in May. The bill never made it, but he kept trying because he believed in it. Whoever replaces Inouye in a 2014 special election in Hawaii will have some big shoes to fill.

WITH

The Other Dog The Other Dog. No, it isn’t the latest sala-cious kibble out of Hollywood. At least not yet. It’s the excuse many people cling to in order to avoid ac-cepting responsibility for their ill-mannered pooch. But the other dog didn’t chew up the sofa cushions. But the other dog never attacked the mail-man. But the other dog knew not to, ahem, “hug” the neighbor’s leg. If that’s true, if the other dog really knew so much more, then you’re in great shape. All you have to do to get the new pooch up to speed is teach him all that great stuff you taught the other dog. After all, if you don’t teach him, he won’t know. Then again, the other dog simply might not have shared the new pup’s appetite for upholstery, postal carriers and great gams. It defies logic to believe any one dog will behave like any other dog just because they’re both dogs. Most dogs don’t instinctively know to stay off the BarcaLounger and out of the fajita meat. Angel or devil. Sometimes in the beginning, it can feel like nothing more than a coin toss. But ei-ther way, dogs, just like children, need discipline and guidance from their “parents” in order to become good citizens with whom the rest of us enjoy sharing space. In other words, we have to train them. I’ve attended many dog shows in my time. I’ve met beautiful dogs, groomed to the hilt, with textbook temperaments. I’ve met proud and dedi-cated dog owners who had dropped thousands on handling and grooming. I also met a 160-pound Nea-politan mastiff who pulled so hard on the leash that his owner couldn’t walk him and a 15-pound terrier who continually bounced off my kneecaps. Beautiful show dogs, but still not trained. Perfect teeth and bones and super-shiny coats, but still not trained. These animals were quite literally the cham-pions of their breed. And still they had bad manners. It’s relatively easy to teach a dog good man-ners; there’s no ego factor to negotiate when teach-ing a dog. But you’ll need to do some homework first. For some dog owners, everything they know about dogs is based on the other dog. They don’t know about teething, they don’t know about crate training, they don’t know about housebreaking. They don’t know about temperament testing, tone of voice, personality or the particulars of one breed

versus another. And they don’t hold these truths to be self-evident: that while all dogs may be created equal, all dogs are not the same. A good way to drive that point home is to go to a dog show. You’ll see beautiful specimens from every breed imaginable, but for some up-close one-on-one with the dog and his or her owner, attend a “benched” show. Those are shows where the com-peting dogs are required to stay in specific areas -- on benches -- when they aren’t being judged. This allows for interaction between spectators and partic-ipants, and it’s a great way to ask questions of breed-ers and do some homework when trying to decide what breed of dog best suits your lifestyle. The International Kennel Club has two benched shows every year, and an online search of your area will reveal other benched shows open to the public. If you’re thinking about getting a dog, dog shows are a great way to get a lot of homework done in one sitting. Whatever you do, don’t get a new dog with the other dog in mind. Even if he’s the same breed, even if he’s the same litter, even if he’s the twin brother, he won’t be the same dog. So the next time you find yourself dangling “the other dog didn’t do that” from the tip of your tongue, remember: That’s why he’s called “the other dog.” Woof!

Exercise With Weights Helps Maintain Muscles To live long and live well, exercise with weights. A cardinal feature of growing older is the inexora-ble and progressive loss of muscle that is replaced by fat. An average person gains a pound of weight an-nually from age 20 to age 60, the majority in the form of fat. But even for those whose weight remains sta-ble, the percentage of the body that is muscle drops from 90 percent at age 20 to 50 percent at age 60. And the decline relentlessly continues. This loss of muscle leads to weakness and, when combined with weight gain and a sedentary lifestyle, affects gait and balance, contributes to os-teoporosis, increases the risk of falls and leads to the eventual inability to walk without the assistance of a walker or wheelchair. While it is impossible to stop muscle loss with aging, research has shown that weight lifting can increase muscle size and strength in people of all ages. The benefits of weight training only increases as we get older. Strength training builds bone and muscle -- the two things that the body gradually los-es with age. This in turn improves gait, decreases falls, reduces fracture risk and promotes indepen-dence. Weight training also improves metabolism, reduces risk of diabetes, prevents depression and has highly beneficial effects on the heart and lungs. People tend to think of weight lifting as a hobby for the young and fit, but it’s more than that. Lifting weights a few times a week is a powerfully benefi-cial lifestyle change. This is a form of exercise for everyone, no matter your age, physical fitness or medical conditions (including back pain, arthritis, heart attack, stroke or other neurological problems). For many older people with physical disabilities, the place to start is with physical therapy, where a program can be designed to lessen pain and im-prove function. When physical therapy ends, con-tinued weight training is essential. Here’s my advice: Do not invest in home equip-ment. Apart from the initial expense, it’s hard to stay motivated when your workout room is a musty cor-ner of the basement. Health clubs are a much better choice. They’re more likely to be successful and a great way to socialize and interact with others. Almost always, a club will have many begin-ners and plenty of adults receiving Social Security and Medicare. Those perfect (and intimidating) bod-ies are the exception, not the rule. Whether you’ve been active all your life or are just starting out, you

and your physique will feel right at home. Weight training should be done under the super-vision of a trainer or physical therapist, at least until you learn the ropes. Unlike walking or biking, which are almost impossible to do wrong, weight training requires proper form and technique. Perform an ex-ercise incorrectly and risk of injury is high. A trainer can help you master every form of weight training, including barbells, dumbbells, elas-tic bands and machines that are uniquely designed to strengthen specific muscle groups. Many of those who belong to a health club, young or old, tend to lift weights that don’t appear very challenging. Lifting a small weight that hard-ly taxes your reserves isn’t worth the effort. Every study has shown substantial benefits from resis-tance training only when high-intensity, muscletax-ing exercises are used. In practical terms, this means choosing weights that are sufficiently heavy that the muscle is virtu-ally exhausted after six to eight repetitions of the exercise. Exercises should involve every muscle group, including those on the arms, legs, back and abdo-men. Each exercise should be done as three sets. During the first set the 10th repetition should be diffi-cult; during the second, only eight repetitions should be possible, and in the final set, you should only be able to manage five or six. Exhausting the muscle leads to muscle growth and increased strength. It is hard work, but it’s the only way to build strength to the level needed for optimal fitness. You’ll probably be a little sore when you start out. But the soreness goes away, and soon you’ll find that you feel refreshed and energized and that the effort is well worth the sweat involved. Want to start the new year with a realistic work-able resolution? Don’t worry about your weight or shape; instead, stretch, do balance and aerobic ex-ercises and weight train to guarantee a longer, more independent life.

The Ten Most Common Misconceptions About Social Security If I had the space, I probably could write a column called “The One Thousand Most Common Misconceptions About Social Security.” I see ex-amples of them almost every day in the emails I get from my readers. Alas, I’ll barely have room to cover the top ten. This week, I’ll stick to the program side of Social Security. Next week, I’ll go over some of the most common policy and political misunderstand-ings. Here is the program side:

Misconception One: Social Security retirement benefits are based on your last 10 years of earnings. Other misunderstandings say benefits are based on a “high five” or a “last three” base of earnings. None are true. All retirement benefits are based on a person’s highest 35 years of earnings -- with each year being adjusted for inflation.

Misconception Two: If you work after you start getting Social Security, the extra taxes you pay will automatically increase your Social Security check. You will only get such an automatic increase if your current income is higher than the lowest of the 35 inflation-adjusted years of earnings used in your original computation.

Misconception Three: You can take reduced benefits at 62 and later switch to full benefits on your own or a spouse’s record. With very few exceptions (the major one applying to widows), you simply can’t do that. If you apply for any kind of Social Security benefit before age 66, you must file for all other ben-efits you are due at the same time. But those rules change dramatically if you wait until age 66 to file. To understand these rules, send me an email and ask for a free digital copy of my fact sheet, “When to Take Your Social Security Benefits.”

Misconception Four: Working women are cheat-ed because they cannot get their own retirement benefit and a wife’s or widow’s benefit from their husband’s account. I get emails almost every day from women complaining about this issue. Interestingly, I’ve nev-er once heard from a working man complaining that he can’t get a husband or widower’s benefit from his wife’s Social Security record. Simply put: As a gener-al rule, if you are due two benefits (and any married person who works is potentially due benefits from his or her own record and from a spouse’s account), you only get the benefit that pays the higher rate. To clarify further, you should understand that spousal benefits are only due to financially dependent wives or husbands. Misconception Five: You must be married for at least 10 years to qualify for spousal benefits from So-cial Security. That 10-year duration of marriage rule applies only to divorced spouses.

Misconception Six: Any benefits paid to a di-vorced spouse offset payments due to a current spouse. That is simply wrong. Social Security checks paid to an ex-spouse have no impact on benefits payable to a current spouse. They each can receive whatever spousal benefits they are due.

Misconception Seven: Teachers are cheated

out of Social Security benefits on a spouse’s record. This fallacy grows out of a misunderstanding of a law called the “government pension offset.” That law simply says that teacher’s pensions (received by teachers in jobs not covered by Social Security) will be treated like a Social Security retirement ben-efit. Social Security retirement benefits have always offset any spousal benefits a person might be due. The GPO law simply says that teacher’s retirement pensions will also offset any spousal benefits due. To understand this better, send me an email and ask for a free digital copy of my fact sheet, “Pension Offsets and Social Security.”

Misconception Eight: Social Security disabil-ity benefits are welfare. Where does this idea come from? (Actually, I think I know, and it’s explained in the next paragraph.) Let’s look at two people. Joe has worked and paid Social Security taxes all his life. He retires at age 62 and gets Social Security retire-ment benefits. Jack has also worked and paid Social Security taxes all his life. Unfortunately, he comes down with prostate cancer at age 58 and starts get-ting Social Security disability benefits. Why do so many people think Joe is getting a benefit he earned while Jack is getting some form of welfare? They are both getting Social Security benefits for which they have worked and paid taxes.

Misconception Nine: SSI is some kind of So-cial Security benefit. Supplemental Security Income is a federal welfare program that has nothing at all to do with Social Security other than the fact that it is managed by the Social Security Administration. SSI benefits are funded by general tax revenues, not by Social Security taxes. SSI pays a very small monthly stipend to poor people who are over age 65 or who are under 65 but disabled. Unfortunately, many peo-ple confuse SSI disability payments with Social Se-curity disability benefits. They are two distinct pro-grams. The former is a welfare payment. The latter is an earned benefit.

Misconception Ten: Medicaid is part of the Medicare program. Just like SSI and Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare are two separate govern-ment programs. Simply put, Medicaid is welfare and Medicare is not. To qualify for Part A, or hospital coverage, under Medicare, you generally must work and pay Medicare taxes for at least 10 years. And anyone over 65 or getting Social Security disability benefits can buy Part B Medicare coverage. Part B

pays for doctor’s visits, lab tests, outpatient hospi-tal services and other medical costs. You qualify for Medicaid, which is as comprehensive as both parts of Medicare, not because you’ve worked and paid taxes, but only because you are poor.

Forget New Mattress, See Doctor Instead DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have back discomfort upon lying down. It doesn’t matter where I lie down or what position I’m in for my back to hurt, and often if effects one or both hips. Getting out of bed in the morning is both difficult and uncomfortable. Once I have had my morning shower and am up and around, I’m fine. We have thought of replacing our mat-tress, but how do we find something that will help? What would you recommend? -- M.W.

ANSWER: I strongly recommend that you see your family doctor before you invest any money in a mattress. Some of what you describe fits the picture of osteoarthritis -- stiffness upon wakening, difficulty getting out of bed and relief of symptoms after taking a hot shower. Before you spend a penny on a mat-tress, have your back examined and the problem di-agnosed. The booklet on the different kinds of arthritis explains each and how it is treated. Readers can ob-tain a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 301W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please al-low four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I looked in the mirror this morning and couldn’t believe what I saw. My right eye was bright red. It looked like someone had punched me. When my husband saw it, he asked if he had hit me while he was asleep. He didn’t. It doesn’t hurt. My vision is perfect. However, my eye looks frightful. Do I need to see a doctor? -- Y.T.

ANSWER: Your question is asked repeat-edly. My long-distance guess is a subconjunctival hemorrhage. The conjunctiva is a cellophane-like covering of the eye. Beneath it is a network of invis-ible blood vessels. When one of those delicate ves-sels breaks, blood covers that part of the eye. Coughing, sneezing or straining causes the breakage. Sometimes it happens for no apparent rea-son. The eye looks awful, but no real harm is done. The blood is absorbed in about a week. You can hur-ry it up by holding warm compresses over the closed eye. You need to see a doctor if the eye begins to pain you, if the blood stays for longer than a week or

if it happens time and again. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: How good are prunes for constipation? I am often constipated and have unsuccessfully tried many remedies. They might work for a short while, but then I am constipated again. I’d like to try the prune way, if you say that it works. -- M.A.

ANSWER: It works for many, but I can’t give you a guarantee. Five to six prunes twice a day can change your bowel habits in a week or so. Prunes have fiber, one reason why they exert a laxative effect. Fiber keeps food waste moist on its passage out of the body. Prunes also contain sorbitol, a natural laxative. In addition to the laxative action, prunes have antioxidants, substances that counter the bad effects coming from cell chemistry. Prunes have undergone a name change; they are now called dried plums. *** Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer indi-vidual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column when-ever possible. Readers may write or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Avoiding the Flu Not only has the flu arrived early this sea-son, but it appears to moving very quickly. Seniors are at risk of becoming extremely ill from the flu, so it’s up to us to do everything we can to avoid catching it. We say this to little kids all the time: “Keep your hands away from your face.” But it’s just as true for us, regardless of age. Granted, the flu is respiratory and is gener-ally spread through someone sneezing or coughing near us, but flu germs can live on surfaces, too. If we transfer it from our hands to our face, we get the germs as easily as if someone sneezed on us. An important point: People who have the flu virus can give it to you a whole day before they even show signs of getting sick. Some hints to avoid the flu: Carry hand wipes when you shop. If the store doesn’t have any near the carts, use yours to wipe down the handle and seat before you touch it. Use alcohol-based wipes on your phone and doorknobs at home, just in case. Stock up on hand sanitizer and keep a small bottle with you when you go out. Stay out of stores after school hours when small children might be with their parents. If you haven’t had a flu shot for some reason, call your doctor and ask if you should have one. Age alone, if you’re over 65, can put you in a high-risk category, and so can any medical condi-tion you might have. If you do get the flu, ask your doctor about a prescription for an antiviral drug. The drugs work best if started within two days of getting sick. They can make the symptoms a little easier to handle, and they can help prevent serious complications like pneumonia.

Grandfather LostHis 25-Year Job Q: My grandfather is 52 and has worked for the same company for almost 25 years. Last October he lost his job when his company went bankrupt and closed down. He seemed like he was sure he could find another job, but he can’t. He sent out nearly 50 resumes and only heard back from a couple of them, and they said he was overqualified. He is trying not to show it, but we all know this is hard on him and he is starting to get depressed. I think they are also running out of money. How can we show him that we support him no matter what happens?

A: Almost everyone’s reaction to losing their job hits them with shock, then fear, which often be-comes anger. It’s good that your family understands your grandfather’s stressful situation and is ready to stand behind and support him. The fact that he worked for his employer for all those years demonstrated his faithfulness, his con-tribution and value. Eventually, a wise employer will recognize the fact he has qualities that are beneficial to any company that hires him. If he’s fortunate, that will happen soon. Looking for a job can be the hardest and most stressful challenge there is -- especially to someone new to the game. He might consider hiring a profes-sional employment coach who could write an appro-priate resumé and provide him with tips on how to best land a job in today’s competitive market. Does he have any business contacts that he could use as a starting point for networking? Filling out a job ap-plication is not the way to land a good job. You need an inside track through the side door. Unfortunately, one disadvantage is his age. Too often well qualified applicants are quickly overlooked simply because employers have the impression that anyone over 50 is too set in their ways to cope with new methods and technologies. They will deny this, of course, but it’s a sad reality just the same. Your grandfather may be forced to lower his ca-reer expectations. Most companies today are flood-ed with job applicants. They can also afford to offer less salary, less medical coverage and less vacation benefits. Many are hiring only part-time employees to avoid having to provide any benefits at all. Keep encouraging him to stay positive. Assure him that someone is bound to recognize his value and hire him. Be sure he knows that he has his fam-ily’s full support and that you’re all rooting for him!

Q: Most of my friends no longer make New Years resolutions since they know they’ll just wind up breaking them. I still give it a try every year, but as usual, I am already flunking -- and here it is only January! After all my 77 years of failing at it, I’m about to give up on ever trying to improve myself. Do you have any suggestions that might help an old woman actually succeed at this? I’ll listen to anything.

A: One of the main reasons people fail to keep their resolutions is that they set their goals unrealis-tically high. We can see areas in our lives that need improvement, but we often try to gulp the whole “el-ephant” in one bite rather than steadily nibbling away at it a little at a time. This requires determination and discipline, which is challenging -- and it’s not easy! Recently, I learned from a reader that she had de-veloped a system that makes her resolution track re-cord more successful. She simply makes one resolu-tion each month and concentrates on accomplishing it. By keeping herself focused on that one goal, she finds she is usually able to accomplish it. She admits that she is not 100 percent successful, but her overall average is a whole lot better. Give it a shot!

● On Jan. 31, 1606, in London, Guy Fawkes, a chief conspirator in the plot to blow up the British Parliament building, jumps to his death moments before his execution for treason. He had been found lurking in a cellar of the Parliament build-ing with 2 tons of gunpowder.

● On Feb. 1, 1884, the first portion of the Oxford English Dictionary is published. In 1857, members of London’s Philological Society decided to produce a dictionary that would cover all vocabulary from 1150 A.D. to the present. It took more than 40 years to complete.

● On Jan. 28, 1915, the captain of a German cruiser orders the destruction of the William P. Frye, an American mer-chant ship off the Brazilian coast. He had ordered the Frye to jettison its cargo as contraband, but the ship’s crew refused. It was the first American merchant ves-sel lost to Germany’s aggression during World War I.

● On Jan. 29, 1922, in the middle of a film, the Knickerbocker Theatre in Wash-ington, D.C., collapses, killing 108 people and sending another 133 to the hospital. Accumulated snowfall from a blizzard col-lapsed the theater’s roof, which fell down on top of theatergoers.

● On Jan. 30, 1933, President Paul von Hindenburg names Adolf Hitler -- fuhrer (leader) of the National Socialist German Workers Party (or Nazi Party) -- as chan-cellor of Germany. Hitler’s meteoric rise to prominence in Germany was spurred largely by the German people’s frustration with dismal economic conditions.

● On Feb. 3, 1950, Klaus Fuchs, a German-born British scientist who helped developed the atomic bomb, is arrested in Great Britain for passing top-secret in-formation about the bomb to the Soviet Union. The arrest of Fuchs led authorities to several other individuals, including Ju-lius and Ethel Rosenberg in the U.S.

● On Feb. 2, 1991, Hurley Haywood begins his quest for his fifth win at the 24 Hours of Daytona. In 2008, Haywood re-tired from full-time racing with more endur-ance victories (10) than any other driver.

Porcelain Vase Is Decorated With Asian Scenes Q: I have enclosed a photo of a footed por-celain vase that I bought at an estate sale. It is approximately nine inches tall, has two handles and is decorated with Asian scenes of pagodas and trees. The trees are embellished with gold dots, and there is a gold band around the top. On the bottom is a wreath with the letter “M” in the center. Outside the wreath are the words “Hand Painted -- Nippon.” Thanks for any information on the age, his-tory and value of my vase.

A: You have a nice ex-ample of hand-painted Nip-pon porcelain. The letter “M” in the mark r e p r e s e n t s the Morimura Brothers. They had offices in New York City and imported porcelain to the United States. “Nippon” is the Japanese name for Japan and was used in trademarks from 1891 to around 1921. Nippon porcelain is very collectible. The gold dots are called moriage and were often used to decorate both Nippon and Satsuma Ware. Your vase was made in the early 1900s and would probably be worth $300 to $500. * * *

Q: I’m wondering about the value of my collection of over 100 women’s hats from the 1930s to the 1970s. Most were never worn and are in excellent condition. They are in all colors, styles, textures, and some are feathered. Also, I would like to know if there is a collectors club for vintage hats.

A: Although vintage women’s hats are col-lectible, I don’t have the name of any collectors clubs. You might try researching on the Internet. Most hats from the period you described are in the range of $25 to $50. Some can go much higher. * * *

Q: This mark is on a complete set of din-nerware that I have. The set is a service for 12. It originally belonged to my mother who got them when I was a child, and I am 84 years old. The dishes are eggshell color and decorated with gold rims around the edge and gold band inside with roses in the center. Also included with the mark are the words “USA -- 44N5.” Since I plan to pass this set down to my daughter, we would like to know more about its history, age and value.

A: Homer Laughlin China Company was founded in East Liverpool, Ohio, in 1871 by Homer and Shake-speare Laughlin. Homer bought out Shakespeare in 1877. In 1907, the company was sold to Louis Aaron and his sons and W.E. Wells. They continued to use the Homer Laughlin name and are still in business. Eggshell Georgian is the name of the shape and was introduced in 1937. Art Director Frederick Rhead designed the Georgian shape. It was decorated with a myriad of different patterns and some were em-bossed. “44N5” shows your dishes were made in 1944 in the Newell, West Virginia plant. Your dinner-ware would probably be worth $300 to $400.

An Odd Coupling I’m not here to say “I told you so.” I am here to give you hyper-accurate insight about your favorite sporting events before they happen ... if at all. Regular readers of this column could have known -- if they were wise regular readers -- that purchasing a ticket for the BCS Championship game in Miami was a waste of their hard-earned money. It was a bad matchup between Alabama and Notre Dame, particularly if you were on the Irish Catholic side of the equation. Whenever there’s a marked disparity be-tween any two parties, doesn’t hilarity, in turn, often ensue? Isn’t that why you need two sides of the magnet, the opposite polarities in life. Every Abbot needs a Costello and unto every Martin may there be a Lewis. Jack, meet Diane. Gryffindor guy, you go have fun over there, flying around the sky on your broom with those Slytherins. For me, my favorite odd coupling, if you will, was Oscar Madison and Felix Unger, two more-authentic-than-fiction guys played by Jack Klugman and Tony Randall on stage and screen. They used to call them “The Odd Couple.” The story goes like this: Felix was kicked out of his house and divorced by his wife ... a divorce Felix did not want. Felix, a sports photog-rapher, turns to his friend, newspaper sports writer Oscar Madison (also recently divorced), and Oscar agrees to let him crash at his apartment for a while. Felix was anal retentive; Oscar was a slob. Felix was effeminate, while Oscar was the living embodi-ment of masculinity because he was a sports writer (duh). The storyline almost always followed the formula of Oscar not necessarily saying he told Felix so ... but that Felix would have been better off if he had been a little more, you know, regular. And since the playwright, Neal Simon, was said to take particular pride in basing his stories on real-life events, the part where the sports writer is always right would seem plausible always. According to The New York Times, an esteemed daily newspaper who paid somebody to look into the matter, Oscar’s three-bedroom apartment in the 14-story walkup at Central Park West and Park Avenue would be worth $4 mil-lion in today’s money. Oscar was likely renting at the monthly rate of $30,000. Again ... $30,000 per month -- and that’s before utilities and the party-line phone with the Pigeon sisters. All of that, plus nightly poker games, on newspaper sports writer and photographer’s salary! But, you regular readers know, as you do get a little more wise, you make your way a bit further down the authentic South Beach experi-ence, you learn that maybe guys like Felix weren’t all that different from the regular guys after all, and that his story maybe rang a bit more true than Oscar’s. Does that say your shouldn’t listen to a sports writer when he tells you so? Of course not. It merely underscores the fact that you should never trust a playwright.

Keep your sockets stacked When I am working with a student, the first thing I look for in their swing is how balanced they are. In this case, the definition of balance is the way the sockets in your body remain aligned with each other. We human beings are designed with eight sock-ets: two in the shoulders, two in the hips, knees and ankles. The key to being in balance is to have the sockets on both the left and right sides in ver-tical alignment with each other. The goal in the golf swing is to keep these s o c k e t s aligned and in balance th roughou t the motion of the swing. Notice in the pho-tos that I am perfectly bal-anced with my sockets stacked in vertical alignment, both at address and in my back swing. The number one swing fault I see is allowing the sockets to slip laterally, getting the golfer “out of balance”. As soon as this happens you have to compensate by shifting back into balance as you make contact with the ball. That’s a miss hit. In order to achieve more power and more control, get in front of a mirror and work on keep-ing your sockets properly stacked and balanced throughout your swing.

treacherous area crosses shipping lanes, and its reputation as the Iceberg Capital of the World is well known among mariners.

• About 90% of the icebergs that are in these waters originated from the glaciers of western Greenland. Although they are among the fastest moving icebergs in the world, the total distance they travel in a year is only about four miles. If icebergs reach the Atlantic Ocean while still frozen intact, they begin to melt rather quickly in the warmer waters.

• After the sinking of the Titanic in 1912 near Newfoundland, the United States, Canada, and eleven other countries formed an organization called the International Ice Patrol. The cooperative group uses airplanes and radar to track icebergs that make their way into the major shipping lanes and issues daily reports and warnings.

• The U.S. National Ice Center monitors icebergs larger than 5,400 square feet (500 sq/m) near Antarctica using satellite data. Icebergs are not only studied and tracked to protect ships. Scientists use them as tools for studying ocean currents and water temperatures.

• The largest iceberg ever recorded was found near Baffin Island in 1882. Eight miles long and three miles wide (13 km x 6 km), its height above water was 65 feet (20 m).
