TIDBITS® IS CROAKING ABOUT

FROGS

by Kathy Wolfe Since April is National Frog Month, it only seems fitting for Tidbits to bring you the facts on these little creatures.

• Frogs are amphibians, meaning they are cold-blooded and split their time between land and water. Their body temperature changes depending on their surroundings.

If it’s cold, certain frogs dig underground burrows or hole up in the mud of ponds.

• More than 4,700 species of frogs can be found around the world. The U.S. is home to about 90 species. Frogs can survive in an astonishing variety of climates and live on every continent except Antarctica.

It’s not just warm tropical climates they thrive in – they also dwell in deserts and on mountaintops. Some wood frogs live north of the Arctic Circle, subsisting for weeks in a frozen state. The glucose in the frog’s blood acts as an antifreeze that collects in the vital organs, preserving them while the body freezes.

• The front legs of a frog have four toes each, and the back legs have five toes.

While aquatic frogs’ legs are longer and stronger to help them swim, land-dwelling frogs have shorter legs for walking and climbing. The tree frog’s large round toe pads act as suction cups to help it grip branches. turn the page for more

• Although it does have lungs, a frog breathes through its skin, which allows oxygen to pass through it, so its skin must always be moist. If it isn’t wet enough, there isn’t enough oxygen and the frog suffocates. The frog doesn’t take a drink when thirsty – all the moisture the frog needs is absorbed through the skin.

• At least once a week, frogs shed their skin. After doing a lot of twisting and stretching, a frog will pull the skin over its head. Although the frog will usually eat the skin, some species, like the Australian water-holding frog, uses the shed skin as a cocoon to burrow in. This desert-dwelling water-holding frog can wait seven years for rain in its underground burrow.

• Out of all animals with a backbone, frogs are by far the best jumpers, with many able to leap up to 20 times their body length. If a human could do that, it would be about a 100-foot jump. The longest frog jump on record took place at a 1989 South African frog derby when Santjie the frog leaped 33 feet, 5.5 inches.

• Not all frogs are jumpers. Costa Rica’s flying tree frog soars among the branches aided by its feet. The webbing between its toes fills with air much like a parachute, enabling the frog to fly from tree to tree.

• Have you ever tried to sneak up on a frog? It’s “nigh on” impossible because its bulging eyes enable it to see in all different directions without even moving its head. And because its eyes are located on the top of its head, a frog can sit in the water with only its eyes and nose above the surface. Frogs have three eyelids, two of which are used above water, and the other to protect its eyes when it is under water.

Tools 4 life

By DR. Jim coyle Being Thankful Eliminates Being Selfish A thankful heart is the victory over selfish desires. The Garden of Eden was filled with every food and accommodation needed to satisfy Adam and Eve and thankfulness was at the core of their being. They were asked to stay away from one thing, the forbidden fruit. When temptation overcomes thankfulness, we are derailed from the direction we were created for. “Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” - Oprah Winfrey When we focus on things that we don’t have or on situations that compromise our values, our minds become darkened and we take for granted life, family, sunshine, flowers, salvation, and God. The best way to turn your life around is to be thankful for what you have and take nothing for granted. The fall of mankind began with the chase for something that was forbidden. Let’s be addicted to thankfulness rather than being addicted to something that is bad for us. The choice is ours. Am I thankful for what I have or am I driven for what I don’t have. Choose with me an attitude of gratitude and be thankful for a God that loves us.

April 15th is celebrated as Titanic Remembrance Day in the memory of 1500 people who died on the same day in April 1912, when the Titanic known as the "unsinkable ship" sank into the icy waters of North Atlantic Ocean. The ship hit an iceberg at 11:40 pm on April 14th, 1912 on her maiden voyage from England to New York City.

FROGS (continued):

• An unusual species known as the glass frog has transparent skin, meaning you can see its internal organs, bones, and muscles. An observer can view the heart beating as well as the stomach digesting food.

• Although most frogs stick to a diet of insects, snails, spiders, and worms, some species dine on small fish and even mice.

Argentina’s horned frogs can eat a mouse in one mouthful, swallowing it whole.

Africa’s dwarf puddle frog gobbles up to 100 mosquitoes in one night’s dinner. It takes less than one second for a frog to roll out its long sticky tongue, grab its prey, and return it to its mouth. While the frog does have a row of teeth on its upper jaw, they’re only to hold the prey while the frog kills it. The teeth are not used to chew.

• You can distinguish the male from the female frog by checking out its ears, located just behind the eye. If the ear is larger than the eye, it’s a male; if the ear is smaller, it’s a female.

• The largest kind of frog is the Goliath frog native to the Cameroon in West Africa.

The Goliath’s body can grow to nearly a foot long, and can weigh as much as a housecat, about 7.3 lbs. In contrast, one of the world’s smallest frogs can be found in Brazil. The adult Gold Frog measures just 3/8th of an inch.

• What’s the difference between a frog and a toad? Technically, the toad is a frog because it also belongs to the order Anura. Toads are simply frogs with dry warty skin and short hind legs. Frogs have smooth moist skin and long webbed hind legs.

Q: Why are you stuffing all that Easter candy into your mouth?"

A: "Because it doesn't taste as good if I stuff it in my ears."

FROGS (continued):

• While all frogs have poison glands in their skin, most aren’t potent enough to do any damage. However, some Central and South American varieties, known as poison dart frogs, have extraordinarily strong poisons. The natives use this poison on the tips of their hunting arrows.

Although there are about 170 different kinds of these poisonous creatures, the most toxic is the golden poison frog.

It contains enough poison to kill eight people.

• In the English language, the frog says, “ribbit,” while in the Arabic, it says “far, gar.” Mandarin Chinese frogs croak, “guo, guo,” while Russian frogs make the sound “kva-kva.”

• Frogs have their place in folklore as well.

Legend has it that if the first frog you see in the Spring is sitting on dry ground, for the next year, you will shed as many tears as the frog would need to swim away in.

It’s also not a good sign if Spring’s first frog jumps into the water – you’ll have misfortune all year. Likewise, if it jumps away from you, then you will lose some friends. However, take heart! If it jumps in your direction, you’ll have many friends. Why not adopt the Japanese’s view of frogs – they view them as symbols of good luck.

• About 120 species of frogs, toads, and salamanders have disappeared over the past 35 years.

Author Mark Twain achieved his first great success with an 1865 short story entitled “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.” It’s the story of a frog named Daniel Webster owned by Jim Smiley, who challenges townsfolk to find a frog that can outjump his. Unfortunately, the first challenger secretly filled Jim’s frog with lead shot, and the frog can’t get off the ground!

• One of the world’s favorite crooners hails from Ottawa, Ontario. Born in Canada in 1941 to restaurant-owning parents of Lebanese descent, Paul Anka began singing in the St. Elias Antiochian Orthodox Church choir at age 12. By 13, he had formed his own group, the Bobbysoxers.

• A school contest when he was 13 changed the course of Anka’s life. He collected Campbell’s soup labels for three months and won a trip to New York City, where he determined he was going to make it in the music industry. By 14, he had recorded his first single, “I Confess.”

• At 16, Anka headed back to New York and was granted an audition at ABC-Paramount Records, singing “Diana.” The studio signed him immediately and “Diana” quickly skyrocketed to Number One, and continues to be one of the best-selling 45s in music history, with sales of over 9 million copies. Following up with four more singles, Anka was firmly in place as a universal teen idol.

• In the late 1950s Anka was traveling the world, singing such hits as “Put Your Head on My Shoulder” and “Hey There, Lonely Boy.” While touring Great Britain and Australia with Buddy Holly, Anka composed “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore” exclusively for Holly, and Holly recorded it shortly before his fatal plane crash in 1959. At age 18, Anka generously bestowed his composer’s royalties on Holly’s widow.

• While enjoying a career as a recording star, Anka began songwriting in earnest. He composed the 1960 hit “Puppy Love” inspired by his brief teen romance with Mouseketeer Annette Funicello. At age 19, he wrote the theme song to the hit move The Longest Day, for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song. He was also given a part as an army private in the film.

• In 1962, Anka wrote the theme song for The Tonight Show, during Johnny Carson’s tenure. During Carson’s heyday, Anka earned $900,000 annually in royalties for just that one song. It’s estimated the song has been played close to a million-and-a-half times.

• Paul Anka has written more than 900 songs, including Frank Sinatra’s signature tune “My Way” and Tom Jones’ biggest hit “She’s a Lady.” Sinatra also became noted singing Anka favorites “Fly Me to the Moon’ and “I’ve Gotta Be Me.” Connie Francis, Barbra Streisand, and The Doobie Brothers have had hits with his compositions. The voice of Elvis Presley can heard singing Anka’s “Blue Christmas” every holiday season.

• Anka was inducted into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame in the U.S. in 1993, and into the Canadians Songwriters’ Hall of Fame in 2008.

He’s had a song on the Billboard charts in every decade since his 1957 debut, including singles in the Top 50 during five different decades.

Anka has recorded 125 albums, including songs in Japanese, German, Spanish, French, and Italian. Worldwide, he’s sold more than 15 million records. In recent years, he has gravitated to big-band arrangements of popular standards. At 72, he still performs on a regular basis as well as appearing on a motivational speaker circuit. In his words, “I’ve always believed that if you don’t stay moving, they will throw dirt on you.”

While many frogs make a croaking sound, each species has its own unique sound. The barking frog found in rocky cliffs in Texas makes a sound like the yapping of a small dog. Other species whistle and some even chirp like a bird. The male is the only one who croaks.

New Home Monitor Learns Your Habits If you were to get to the point where you’re forgetting to eat or take your medications, how long would it be before someone noticed a change in your routine?

Here’s how it works: Small monitors (six of them, the size of a quarter) are attached to various items in the home -- the pill container, refrigerator door, TV remote, keychain, front door -- that you touch or move on a daily basis. The idea is to attach the monitors to things that are sure to be a clue that all is not well if the monitors aren’t moved. The sensors get to know your habits.

The Lively Sensor gets the signals in a central hub in your house (you don’t need Internet). Your loved ones can use a cellphone or computer to check the “log” of your activities.

Yes, the Lively Sensor is a monitor, and no, none of us want to be watched. But the alternative -- being forced to move into a retirement building -- isn’t our first choice. And you do have control over where the monitors are attached.

● On April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic fails to divert its course from an iceberg, ruptures its hull and begins to sink. The Titanic was divided into 16 compartments that were presumed to be watertight. Because four of these compartments could be flooded without loss of buoyancy, the Titanic was considered unsinkable.

● On April 15, 1959, Fidel Castro visits the United States.

The trip got off to an inauspicious start when it became clear that President Dwight Eisenhower had no intention of meeting with Castro. Instead, Eisenhower went to the golf course to avoid any chance meeting. ● On April 17, 1960, Eddie Cochran, the musician behind “Summertime Blues” and other rockabilly hits, is killed when the taxi carrying him from a show in Bristol, England, crashes en route to the airport in London, where he was to catch a flight home to the U.S. He was 21.

“We are thrilled with the outstanding community support,” said Bruce Western, CRCCA president. “Our mission is to provide quality entertainment at a cost everyone can afford, and the community responded.”

Members pay one low price for the season’s series of five concerts. This season, a member can attend all five concerts for just $40. And, as a bonus, attend the Metro Community Concerts five-performance series at Cedar Fall’s Gallagher-Bluedorn absolutely free.

• 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 Answer for Tidbits Word Power Puzzle below: 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.

“We sold out quickly this year,” said Western.

“We encourage everyone to keep an eye out for next season’s membership drive and order their memberships early.”

But don’t despair. Lucky Tidbits readers still have a chance to attend one of this season’s exciting concerts.

November 3 we celebrated the American West with the Sons of the Pioneers on. Superb harmonies and brilliant arrangements of classic cowboy favorites like Tumbling Tumbleweed, Cool Water, and Ghost Riders in the Sky, - truly fun for the whole family.

Thank You for the Music continued the season on January 28, 2014 with the unforgettable hits of ABBA. Dancing Queen, Waterloo, Take a Chance on Me, Fernando and Mamma Mia are only the beginning of this nostalgic musical journey.

The Cedar Rapids Community Concert Association kicked off its 83rd season Sunday, October 13, with the Italian Saxophone Quartet playing to a sold out crowd at the Paramount Theatre.

• The first voyage by the Clermont was met by the public with suspicion. Many referred to the boat as “Fulton’s Folly” due to its unusually long length and the smoke and fire associated with the vessel’s newfangled steam engine.

Q: What's the great thing about being a frog?

Many thought it would blow up or sink on its voyage; were wrong!

In you fact,because because A:first Pretty girlsthey are always kissing they think you'll turn into a prince.

Fulton wisely paid attention to passenger comfort, the Clermont became a very profitable vessel for transporting passengers to destinations on the Hudson River. Fulton subsequently formed and led a company offering services on six major rivers and the Chesapeake Bay.

On March 2, 2014, relive time-tested favorites through dazzling production numbers - new hit shows and all-time classics – with Back on Broadway Quality, personality, and virtuosity closes the season on May 4, 2014, with the Rodney Mack Philadelphia Big Brass – a veritable “dream team” of virtuoso brass players playing an awe-inspiring musical experience.

Drafty Windows a Costly Nuisance

Q: Our front room windows have never been very good at keeping out drafts on windy nights, and in the summer, it’s the hottest room in the house. Do we need to replace these windows? -- Charlene T., via email

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

● It was beloved and sometimes maligned British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill who made the following sage observation: “Sometimes it is not enough that we do our best; we must do what is required.” ● If you’re of a certain age, you might be surprised to learn that the Bruce Willis film “Die Hard” is older than the World Wide Web. ● Those who study such things say that a new mom accumulates anywhere from 450 to 700 hours of lost sleep during the first year after her baby is born. ● You may be surprised to learn that the average American man spends 10,585 hours hanging out in a bar. Or you may not. ● Even a chameleon that is born blind can take on the colors of its environment.

D A

A: Drafty, leaky windows have a number of causes for -- from warped or old frames to single-pane windows and more -- but completely replacing the windows and frames can be quite costly.

Your electric company may offer an energy audit kit -- or can even send a professional to perform an energy audit -- at low or no cost. A basic kit can determine that hot or cool air is escaping the house, while more detailed audits can determine where that air is escaping.

Another way is to simply bring in a window replacement contractor to inspect the front-room windows, determine what’s wrong and present an estimate for the cost of repair or replacement. This is the costliest option, so be certain the problem is severe enough to warrant window and/ or frame replacement. Consider getting two or three estimates from different contractors to compare prices.

In the long term, investing in new, higherquality windows can save a lot in heating and air conditioning costs, and help make the front room more comfortable yearround.

In the short term, you’ll want to take some inexpensive measures to prevent drafts and, in the summer, cool air from escaping.

If you’ve performed an energy audit or have been able to figure out just where outside air is blowing through, you can lessen the problem. Air entering under the sash can be blocked by placing a length of foam weatherstripping along the underside, where the sash meets the frame. Thinner weatherstripping can be installed vertically along the frame to prevent drafts from entering between the window and the frame.

Install double-paneled curtains on all the windows of the room. In the winter, these provide an extra buffer between drafts and you. In the summer, these solid curtains can be pulled shut when the sun is shining into the room, to help keep the room cool.

These short-term measures can save some energy, but to really make that room comfortable, take a serious look at replacing the windows, particularly if they’re old or the frame or sash are visibly warped.

By JoAnn Derson

FLOOR SHOP Carpet • Vinyl • Ceramic Hardwood Floors

● A garden manicure is what my mother calls it: When working with plants and dirt, rake your nails across a bar of soap. The soap prevents dirt particles from lodging under nails, and the soap washes away easily when you are finished. Happy Gardening! -- JoAnn ● If the string on your trimmer is always breaking or jamming, try this old trick: Give the coiled string a spray with vegetable oil before you thread it. It lubricates the line, making it less likely to pull and less likely to break. ●“If you have a spade with a long handle, you can transfer common measurements to the handle. Just lay a tape measure alongside the handle, and use a black marker to note common spacing, like feet and inches. Then, when you put in plants, you can check quickly whether they are spaced correctly. Very handy!” -- P.E. in Arkansas ●“Garden tool storage doesn’t have to be hard.

Fill a wide mouth bucket with clean sand.

Add a half quart or motor oil and stir. Then use the sand to clean and store your garden tools like shovels, rakes or hoes. The sand/oil mixture helps clean the metal surfaces, and the heaviness of the container lets you stick them in the sand without fear of everything falling down, like it would if you leaned them along a wall.” -- E. in North Carolina ● Here’s a recipe for a quickie bird feeder or bath: Flip over a nice-size flower pot, and place the pot’s tray on the top. Fill with seed or water. The birds will thank you -- maybe even by eating some nuisance bugs along with the seed.
