by Kathy Wolfe “Why, you’re just skin and bones!” you may have heard it said. While the human body is lots more than skin and bones, these two things account for a very large part. Follow along as Tidbits explores what holds us together. Exit 93
• “I’ve got you under my skin,” goes the old song. The skin is the largest of all the organs in the body, and makes up about 15% of the body’s weight. On the average adult body, it weighs about 6 lbs. with an area of about 20 square feet. The average individual has about 300 million skin cells. There are about 11 miles of blood vessels in the body’s skin. • One square inch contains about 19 million cells, 90 oil glands, 65 hairs, and 625 sweat glands. There are 19 feet of blood vessels and over 19,000 sensory cells in that square inch. Those sensory cells can detect an object as small as 1/100th of a millimeter. • The skin is made up of three layers – the epidermis, which is the outer layer, the middle layer called the dermis, and the deepest layer called the subcutis. The epidermis is thickest on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, about 1.5 millimeter thick. The subcutis contains blood vessels, hair follicle roots, and nerves. turn the page for more!

SKIN AND BONES (cont'd):
• When a person is born, skin is about 1 millimeter thick and will grow to about 3 millimeters by adulthood. • The body’s three million sweat glands will produce about two quarts of fluid on a warm summer day. When sweat evaporates off the skin, body heat is reduced. Sweat glands are the most concentrated on the bottom of the feet, with the least concentration on the body’s back. The smell of sweat is affected by a person’s mood, diet, hormones, medical condition, or drugs. • Our skin is thinnest on our eyelids, just 0.02 m thick. • Why does our skin bruise? It’s caused by blood capillaries that burst near the skin’s surface. The blood cells quickly die and change color, creating the purplish bruise. The bruise fades as those cells are carried off by the body. • And why does our skin tan when we’re out in the sun? It’s the result of our skin secreting melanin, a brown pigment that helps block out harmful ultraviolet rays. Thousands of years ago, when dark-skinned humans migrated to colder climates, much of their melanin pigment was lost and white skin began to appear. • There are two types of melanin – pheomelanin, which varies from yellow to red in color, and eumelanin, which is dark brown to black. Pheomelanin is responsible for our pink lips and for red hair color. Eumelanin contributes to brown and black skin and hair. A person with a complete or partial absence of melanin is known as an albino. • Skin that is glabrous has no hair. Q: What does a skeleton orders at a restaurant? (cont'd next page) A: Spare ribs!
Q: Why didn't the skeleton eat the cafeteria food? A: Because he didn't have the stomach for it!

Just passing it’s 10-year anniversary, many beloved locals know this sports bar belonging to Mark Eggleston, or as everyone likes to calls him, “Eggy.” However just this past summer, Eggleston has retired and since passed along his final restaurant adventure to three new owners — Bobby Smith, Victor Jarbo and his son Jason Jarbo. Victor always had his foot in the restaurant industry. From starting his own delicatessen with his younger sister in Middletown, OH to managing and even catering, Victor’s experience spans over 40 years. But the journey that led him to Eggy’s all started when Jason moved to Iowa in 2002 and tried to persuade his dad to join him so he could be closer to family. Victor eventually made his way to Iowa in 2013 working at the Riverside Casino & Golf Resort as a VIP Host, where he met and struck up a friendship with Bobby Smith. Although he was happy working at the Casino and spending more time with his grandchildren, Victor couldn’t quite put a finger on, that something in his life was missing. Jason and Bobby really encouraged Victor to try and pursue something that was more to his calling. After a few short months, Victor finally had his “Aha” moment that he wanted a restaurant to call his own. Victor searched for months for the right restaurant that were looking to sell, and he almost gave up until he walked into Eggy’s on 965, took one good look and said, “This is the one.” Victor knew that Eggy’s on 965 was definitely something special, but saw a lot of unused potential. As soon as Bobby, Victor, and Jason became the new owners in late summer Victor went straight to work adding in a second bar, 70 inch screen TV’S, bringing in live music, trivia nights, and flushing out an entirely new menu. “Putting in more TV’s and creating a mini bar upstairs is just the start. Eggy’s is a beautiful place...and I want to make it into the best it can be.”

ROCKEFELLER CENTER TREE Every year on the Wednesday after Thanksgiving, the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree is lit between West 48th and West 51st Streets in midtown Manhattan in New York City. Here’s a glimpse into the history of this tradition. • Construction began on Rockefeller Center in May of 1930, a cluster of 14 buildings in an Art Deco style. Its centerpiece is the 70-floor, 872-foot GE Building located at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, formerly known as the RCA Building, and nicknamed 30 Rock. Today the complex consists of 19 commercial buildings covering 22 acres. • On Christmas Eve, 1931, in the midst of the Great Depression, a group of 30 construction workers dragged a 20ft. balsam fir tree through the muddy construction site and decorated it with strings of cranberries, paper garlands, and tin cans. In 1933, the year that 30 Rock opened, the tree became an official holiday tradition with the first lighting ceremony. • An eight-ton bronze sculpture of the Greek Titan Prometheus bringing fire to mankind was installed in early 1934 and is a prominent feature in the plaza. On Christmas Day, 1936, the Center’s ice skating rink was opened. Its popularity has grown to the point that today over a quarter million people skate there every year. • Usually a Norway spruce, the tree must have a minimum height of 65 feet. The height is limited to 110 feet due to the width of Manhattan’s streets. The tallest Christmas tree at the Center was in 1999, a Norway spruce from Connecticut, 100 feet tall. Since 1999, the tree has come from one of four states – New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, or Pennsylvania. • A crane supports the chosen tree while it is cut, after which it is moved to a custommade telescoping trailer for transport to the Center. • During the 1950s and 1960s, the tree was topped with a 4-ft. plastic star, which was later changed to a fiberglass and gold-leaf star. Since 2004, the tree has been topped by a Swarovski crystal star weighing 550 lbs. The star stands 10 feet tall and is made up of 25,000 crystals with a total of one million facets. • Televised broadcasts of the lighting began in 1946, and in 1951, NBC began its televised ritual of the tree lighting, going live on The Kate Smith Show, hosted by the “first lady of radio.” • In 1971, Rockefeller Center went green when it recycled the tree for the first time, grinding it into 30 three-bushel bags of mulch to cover the nature trails of upper Manhattan. Further environmental efforts were begun in 2007, when the tree was lit with 30,000 LED lights for the first time. This resulted in a savings of 1,200 kilowatt hours less electricity per day over the tree’s old incandescent bulbs. That’s enough to power a 2,000-sqft house for a month! That year, the tree was used to donate lumber for a Habitat for Humanity house construction. • This year the Rockefeller Center tree will remain lit until January 7, 2015, the day of the feast of Epiphany.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
● It was noted Major League Baseball player and manager Yogi Berra who made the following sage observation: “You got to be careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there.” ● Those who study such things say that one-quarter of all trips made in the United States are less than 1 mile, but threequarters of those trips still are made by car. ● You may be surprised to learn that rats and mice are ticklish -- they even laugh! ● Popcorn may be indelibly associated with movie theaters these days, but that wasn’t always the case; in the early days of the movies, when the films were still silent, popcorn was actually banned in theaters. The first movie theaters were swanky affairs trying to compete with traditional theaters. The owners didn’t want to have popcorn spilled on the fine upholstery and ground into the carpets. ● Mount Wingen, Australia, is home to the world’s longest-burning fire. The coal deposits there have been aflame for 6,000 years. ● Nobody is really a fan of vacuuming, but did you ever wonder what the most annoying thing about the chore is? Electrolux’s Global Vacuuming Survey found that the single most hated thing about vacuuming is the noise it makes. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Anxiety Can Trigger Alzheimer’s Disease Many times anxiety is a good thing. It keeps us alert and paying attention in situations where there might be danger or concerns. Then, once the problem has passed, the anxiety fades away. Anxiety doesn’t always disappear, however -- and it can have consequences when it doesn’t: Chronic anxiety in those who have mild cognitive impairment can increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, as well as the speed with which it develops. While studies have looked at the link between depression and Alzheimer’s, until now there was no research looking at mild cognitive impairment, anxiety and Alzheimer’s.
