ICY INFO
by Kathy Wolfe There’s more to know about ice than just the fact that it’s frozen water. Here are the cold hard facts about cold hard ice! • About 10% of the Earth’s land mass and 7% of its oceans are covered by ice. Close to 98% of Antarctica, located at the Earth’s South Pole, is covered by ice averaging at least a mile in thickness. Its ice sheet holds about 90% of the planet’s fresh water. • An ice sheet forms when snow that falls in winter does not melt entirely over the summer months. After thousands of years of this process, the layers pile up and compress into thick, dense sheets of ice. In order to be classified as an ice sheet, it must extend more than 20,000 sq. miles. Antarctica’s ice sheet covers almost 5.4 million sq. miles, which is about the size of the U.S. and Mexico combined. At one spot the ice is 2.96 miles thick. Greenland, the world’s largest island, has an ice sheet extending 656,000 sq. miles, about three times the size of Texas.

• The size of an iceberg varies between 3.3 ft. and 246 ft. above the sea, weighing between 100,000 and 200,000 tons. About one-ninth of an iceberg’s volume is above water. It’s very challenging to determine the shape of that portion that lies underwater.

• Icebergs are composed of freshwater ice that has broken off a glacier or an ice shelf, causing them to float freely in the open water. During the warmer weather of spring and summer, the formation of icebergs increases as they separate from the Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets and from other outlying glaciers. About 15,000 icebergs separate from Greenland every year, but most melt long before entering the Atlantic Ocean. Less than 400 will flow south of Newfoundland into the North Atlantic. • Iceberg Alley is the area about 250 miles southeast of Newfoundland, Canada. This is where the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank in April of 1912. Prior to that disaster, which caused 1,500 deaths, there was no system to track icebergs and protect ships from collision. Immediately, the U.S. Navy began patrolling the waters, and the following year a permanent international system was created. • About 93% of the world’s icebergs are found in the Antarctic, and they are much larger than their northern counterparts. The largest iceberg on record was sighted in the Pacific Ocean in 1956 and measured 60 x 208 miles, with over 12,000 sq. miles of area, larger than the country of Belgium. In the Northern Atlantic, a 551-ft-tall iceberg was reported in 1958, the equivalent of a 55-story building.

• If all the ice in the world were to melt at the same time, the volume of all the oceans would increase by 1.7%, with a rise in sea level of 1180 feet. This would be the equivalent of the Empire State Building standing in water up to the 20th floor.

• Water freezes from the outside in, expanding as it freezes. Tiny air bubbles are trapped in the water as it freezes, and the air is pushed to the center of an ice cube, which is why cubes have cloudy, opaque centers. Ice cubes made from tap water have more air content, making them cloudier. If you want your ice cubes to be perfectly clear, start off with hot water, which has less air than cold water from the faucet. Or use bottled water, boiling it briefly before freezing. •When can you trust walking on ice? Ice with a thickness of two inches will support the weight of a man. Ice that is four inches thick will support that man on horseback. •Hail forms inside strong thunderstorm clouds when those clouds with updrafts pick up water droplets and carry them above the freezing level. Hailstones measure between .2 inch and 6 inches in diameter. In North America, “Hail Alley” is where hail is most common, that area where Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming meet. Cheyenne, Wyoming is the continent’s most hail-prone city, with about 9 to 10 hailstorms during the time from May to September. Vivian, South Dakota recorded the U.S.’s largest hailstone in July, 2010, with a diameter of 8 inches and a weight of 1.93 lbs. . The world’s largest fell in 1986 in Bangladesh and weighed 2.25 lbs. , and was about the size of a cantaloupe. That deadly storm killed 92 people. •What’s the difference between ice and dry ice? Regular ice is frozen water, while dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide. Dry ice is much colder, with temps below -108 degrees F. Carbon dioxide does not go through a liquid state as it cools from gas to a solid state, and it also doesn’t melt. Rather, it changes directly from a solid into a vapor.
Caroling times are 5:30pm to 5:40pm, 6:00pm to 6:10pm, 6:30pm to 6:40pm, 7:00pm to 7:10pm, 7:30pm to 7:40pm & 8:00pm to 8:10pm.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle
What’s On My Tree?
Christmas is a time for hanging ornaments on trees. Let’s imagine that you and I are Christmas trees. If I am to be a tree of life, the scriptures are pretty clear about what ornaments God wants hanging on me. “And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:30-31 These 4 ornaments (heart, soul, mind, and strength) - all baked in love - need to hang on my tree. The greatest gift we can give to anyone is a pure heart, a clean soul, a sound mind, and strength to do the right thing. Anytime our head, heart, and hands are working together in unison we become God’s ornament. Be a gift to those around you.

ICY INFO (continued):
• The word “ice” doesn’t always refer to water that has frozen into a solid form. It can also refer to an air of unfriendliness or animosity, when the atmosphere turns to ice. It can be a snack of shaved ice flavored with sweetened juice. The term can also mean flashy diamond jewelry. As a verb, to a hired assassin, it’s slang for killing their victim and to a baker, it’s what they do to a cake. To a hockey player, it’s their skating surface as well as the act of shooting the puck out of defensive territory and far into the opposing team’s territory. If you’re too busy at work to take any time off, you put your vacation on ice when you postpone it. If you’re in an awkward social situation and no one is speaking, you might break the ice by offering the first remarks. But be careful about offensive remarks – they might put you on thin ice, meaning you’re in a difficult situation. • A glacier forms when multiple snowfalls occur over many years, even centuries in mountainous or polar regions. Glaciers form only on land, and flow very slowly across the land, powered by gravity, altering the shape of the Earth, creating valleys, morasses, crevasses, and changing landforms. Not surprisingly, the world’s largest glacier, Lambert Glacier is located in Antarctica.

FAMOUS WOMEN OF THE WORLD:
ERMA BOMBECK
December 17th 2013
December 22– January 19
Festive times call for festive foods, Capricorn. If the kitchen is not your domain, look to a pro. If it is your domain, get out the pots and pans and start cooking.
January 20– February 18
Believe, Aquarius, and the dream you hold most dear will come true. A youngster is going through a phase. Pay them no attention. Less is more at a party.
February 19– March 20
Get-togethers with friends and family are the highlight of the week, Pisces. A business connection strengthens, and many big opportunities are in store.
March 21– April 19
Old traditions give way to new ones, as new faces enter the fold. Embrace the change, Aries. The to-do list nears completion thanks to a shipment.
April 20– May 20
You receive more invites than you can count, but only one that marks the spot. A letter from home renews ties with long-lost friends. Enjoy, Taurus.
May 21– June 21 Family feasts begin, and fitness and diet are more important than ever. Work to keep the pounds off and the bad foods away, Gemini.
June 22– July 22
A health crisis passes, finances improve and gifts abound. You are blessed beyond belief, Cancer. Make sure you pay it forward. A friend comes around.
July 23– August 22 Stand back, Leo. A blast from the past returns to make a party sizzle. Deadlines are met and a major project is finished, just in time for a new one to begin.
August 23– September 22 Oh dear, Virgo. You’re making a mountain out of a molehill. Stop it! What’s done is done. Time to move on and focus on matters you can change
September 23– October 22
The glitz and glamour of the holiday season put you in a festive frame of mind. Spread the cheer, Libra. An old friend could use some kind words.
October 23– November 21
An organization could use your help. Get out there, Scorpio, and bring along some buddies. A truce is reached at home, allowing for a peaceful celebration.
November 22– December 21
A mission in organization is not a lost cause, Sagittarius. Rally the troops and divide and conquer before the revelry begins. A gift warms the heart.
December 17th 2013
As one of the world’s favorite columnists, Erma Bombeck caused us all to laugh at the humdrum routine of our daily lives. Here’s how she got her start and achieved her success. • After losing her father when she was nine, Erma and her mother moved in with relatives and her mother went to work to support them. While in junior high, Erma was already showing her gift for humorous writing, with a column in the school newspaper. Her column in her high school paper two years later was a serious column, with a mix of wit. At 15, she landed a job at the Dayton Herald as a part-time copygirl, and at 16, she published her first journalistic effort. This came when Shirley Temple was visiting Dayton in 1943, and Erma’s interview with the child star became a newspaper feature. •Following high school graduation, Erma joined the Herald full-time, writing obituaries and other minor assignments. Then it was on to the university and an English degree. • In 1949, Erma married Bill Bombeck, and when they adopted a child in 1953, she put her journalism career on hold to become a full-time wife and mother. In 1964, with three children, she resumed her writing, penning weekly columns for a small local paper, the Ketterling-Oakwood Times, for $3 each, writing from her small bedroom at home. The following year, the Dayton Journal Herald asked for two columns a week, paying $50 apiece. Within three weeks, the articles went into national syndication, appearing in 36 major U.S. papers under the title “At Wit’s End.” Her columns drew inspiration from the humorous side of her life as an ordinary suburban housewife. • Just two years later, Erma was popular nationwide and began giving lectures across the country. In 1967, her columns were compiled into a book published by Doubleday. During the 1970s, 30 million people in the U.S. and Canada were reading her columns in 900 newspapers. She was also writing for several popular magazines. Erma then branched out into television, appearing on Good Morning America for more than 10 years. She was the author of 15 books, most of which were bestsellers, and one that was turned into a television move, The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank. • Erma’s theory on housework was, “If the item doesn’t multiply, smell, catch on fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be. No one cares. Why should you?” • Erma’s serious side was demonstrated in her promotion of the Equal Rights Amendment for women, as well as her service on the President’s National Advisory Committee for Women. She was also involved in helping families with children fighting cancer. Erma herself was diagnosed with cancer in 1992. Following treatment, her kidneys began to fail, and she passed away at age 69 in 1996, shortly after receiving a kidney transplant. • A 29,000-lb. rock was hauled from Erma’s Arizona home to her gravesite in her native Dayton, Ohio. Erma once said, “When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left and could say, ‘I used everything You gave me.’” This could certainly be said of this amazing woman!

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel ● On Dec. 19, 1732, Benjamin Franklin of Philadelphia first published “Poor Richard’s Almanack.” The book, filled with proverbs preaching industry and prudence, was published continuously for 25 years and became one of the most popular publications in colonial America. ● On Dec. 17, 1843, Charles Dickens’ classic story “A Christmas Carol” is published. Dickens never lost momentum as a writer, churning out major novels every year or two, often in serial form. Among his most important works are “David Copperfield” (1850), “Great Expectations” (1861) and “A Tale of Two Cities” (1859). ● On Dec. 21, 1945, Gen. George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. 3rd Army, dies from injuries suffered not in battle, but in a freak car accident. He was 60 years old. Descended from a long line of military men, Patton graduated from the West Point Military Academy in 1909. ) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

A-1 Home Healthcare Proudly Presents
Senior News Line by Matilda Charles
Emergency-Room Stay Can Cost a Bundle The length of time you might spend in the emergency room has gotten longer -- and longer -- as many Medicare patients are held under what’s called “observation status.” AARP recently completed a study called “Rapid Growth in Medicare Hospital Observation Services: What’s Going On?” that shows the length of time patients are held that way has grown, sometimes to more than 48 hours. If you’re a Medicare patient, you can be toting up out-of-pocket costs with every passing hour you’re held in this medical limbo. There’s no cost-sharing cap with these observation status stays, not to mention that you might not receive the level of care that you should have. As an observation outpatient, you’re liable for the costs of tests and procedures. Additionally, if you end up in skilled nursing, the observation status time you spend in the hospital doesn’t count for the Medicare requirement that you have three days as an inpatient. Your portion of the costs can skyrocket, and you might even be denied skilled nursing care because you weren’t in the hospital long enough as an official inpatient. Here are some specifics from the AARP study: ● Observation status stays have increased 94 percent. ● Patient status (observation versus inpatient) is sometimes changed by the hospital after the patient is sent home. ● The average cost for skilled nursing that Medicare didn’t cover (due to being originally held in observation limbo) was $10,503. A number of senators in Congress have proposed legislation that would require time spent in observation status to count as part of the three-day inpatient requirement. To read the full 25-page report, go to aarp.org and put the study’s title in the search box.

Lindale Mall lower level 365-4265 Not valid with any other offer or specials • No purchase necessary • No cash value Cranky Hank’s owner, Keith Hazen, isn’t really cranky at all. In fact, he’s a jovial guy who prides himself on running a family-friendly restaurant. Cranky Hank’s is actually named for Hazen’s dad, a former Marine who liked yelling — and pizza. The restaurant’s slogan, “Stop your Belly Achin’,” is exactly the sort of thing the elder Hazen would say, he says, and the grumpylooking man on Cranky Hank’s signs is a caricature of the real-life Hank, who died in 1992. The restaurant, in the lower level of the Lindale Mall, is clean and bright, with an open kitchen so customers can watch pizza makers — including Hazen — toss dough and pull pies out of a large, vintage pizza oven. He even had the ceiling raised so he could toss the dough. “You will not find a scale in my kitchen,” explains Hazen. “Each pizza is an individual craft.” On Friday and Saturday evenings, pizza-makers offer dough-throwing lessons to their younger patrons. There is also kids-only karaoke on Sundays from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. The pizza is “Quad Cities style,” meaning it’s the style of pizza you’ll find at Harris Pizza, Frank’s Pizzeria, Sluggers Pizza and other local spots in the Quad Cities area, says Hazen, who grew up in East Moline. It’s a little sweeter crust, a little spicier sauce and it’s also cut in strips, not wedges. The dough and sauce are both made in-house. Staff members also shred their own cheese and make their own sausage.

Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. • Following Fulton’s success, steamboats became a prime transporter of passengers and goods across the country. For example, in the steamboat port of New Orleans, 20 steamboat arrivals in 1814 increased to a whopping 1,200 arrivals by 1834. • The steamboat era in the United States continued until the 1870s, when railroads started supplanting the steamboat as the preferred transporter of passengers and goods.

THIS IS A HAMMER By Samantha Mazzotta
Safer Holiday Lighting Q: Please remember that when hanging up holiday lights outside, to be careful when setting up and working on ladders. They need to be aware of potential overhead hazards like power lines and make sure not to make contact with them. -- An Electrician in San Jose, Calif. A: That’s an important point to remember, and thank you for sending it. Setting up outdoor lights and displays can be hard work, and it’s easy to forget a few basic safety steps while hurrying to get strings connected and secured in place. Here are some things to remember: ● Always check overhead before setting up ladders, using poles or other equipment, and make sure power lines, tree branches and other hazards are not in your path. ● When planning outdoor displays, include the layout of extension cords and other electrical equipment in your design, so they are placed away from frequently traveled paths. ● Use covered GFI (ground fault interrupter) outlets to reduce the risk of fire and shock, and be sure to not overload circuits. ● Check all the light strings you plan to use, and make sure they’re rated for outdoor use, are not frayed and have no burnt bulbs. ● Don’t work alone: Have a helper to brace the ladder, help unravel light strings and so on. ● If you plan to place decorations on the rooftop, make sure you secure yourself with a safety harness and rope. HOME TIP: Consider replacing traditional Christmas lights with LED lights. They cost more, but last longer and save a lot of energy.

● To control the level of garlic in a recipe, add it at the beginning for a lighter taste and at the end for a stronger taste. To get garlic out of the clove quickly, instead of tedious peeling, just smash it and squeeze it out. ● “The best cure for a foggy windshield is a chalkboard eraser. You can purchase them at office-supply stores. They can be stored easily in your glove box. No window cleaner required for a quick clear windshield, and you can see well afterward. A clean windshield is a safety issue!” -- M.T. in South Carolina ● Fill measuring cups with hot water and empty quickly before measuring sticky substances like honey or peanut butter. It will slide out much easier. ● Banana trick: For faster ripening, leave bunches together and store in a bag. For slower ripening, separate the bananas. They will ripen faster if stored near apples or citrus fruit. Also, remember that just because the outside is getting brown spots, the inside isn’t necessarily going soft. ● Warm up refrigerated baked goods in the microwave, but place a mug of water in there too. It will keep the moisture in the bread. If your bread loaf is going stale, wrap it in foil and pop it in the oven for about 10 minutes at 300 F. It will freshen the bread!
