Life is tasteless without salt! In addition to providing seasoning, it’s a component of your blood, sweat and tears and is essential to the proper function of the human body. What don’t you know about this important commodity? Read along and see! • The Bible contains the first written reference to salt, recorded in the Book of Job around 2250 B.C. Salt is mentioned in 31 other places, including the story of Lot’s wife being turned into a pillar of salt when she disobeyed the words of angels. As she and her family were fleeing the destruction of the wicked city of Sodom, she was told not to look back, but she turned to gaze at the blaze and was transformed. • There are two chief methods of producing salt — evaporation and mining. In the evaporation process, salty sea water is guided into large clay forms for natural evaporation by the sun. Sea salt is the source for about 80 mineral elements essential to proper body function, including iron, iodine, sulfur and magnesium. In underground mines, salt is found in veins and domes and is mined by large machines snaking their way through passageways. Large underground deposits can be found around the globe, including parts of Ontario, Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan in Canada, and New York, turn the page for more!

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR JIM COYLE Cutting the Anchors of Guilt & Shame

Being ashamed of who we are or guilty of what we have done or what has been done to us are two anchors in life that immobilize us and keep us from moving forward. Even when we think we have succeeded in hiding our feelings, thoughts, and attitudes our guilt and shame comes out in other ways. Some of these behaviors can include compulsive behaviors, sexual addictions, overeating, chemical and alcohol abuse, and depression. Here are a few tools to help you get rid of the guilt and shame.

Stop beating yourself up. You are not a whack-a-mole Treat yourself to fun and innovative things Open up to fresh thinking and get rid of the negative self talk Power for the future by releasing the power of the anchor www.pastoralcarecentercr.com Helping people get to a better place

Michigan, Texas, Ohio, Kansas and New Mexico in the United States. There are such large beds near Salzburg, Austria, it was aptly named “The City of Salt.” The United Kingdom is also home to extensive salt beds. • Throughout history, salt has been a valuable item of trade. Governments have frequently controlled the price of salt, maintaining a monopoly by charging special taxes. Salt taxes have supported monarchs and funded wars. During the Middle Ages, salt was so expensive, it earned the nickname “white gold.” • Salt has been used as currency for centuries. Even up to the beginning of the 20th century, one-pound bars of salt were used as money in what is now the country of Ethiopia. Early civilization advanced tremendously once salt’s ability to preserve food was discovered. No longer were people dependent on what was readily available to eat, and long-distance travel also increased as preserved provisions could be transported. Early Roman soldiers’ wages were paid in salt, or salarium argentum, a term from which we derive our English word “salary.” Romans even built roads specifically for transporting salt, such as the Via Salaria, which led from Rome to the Adriatic Sea, where a salt-producing area was located. In ancient Greece, salt was traded for slaves, leading to the expression, “He is not worth his salt.” In early American history, President Thomas Jefferson hoped that the Lewis and Clark expedition would be able to locate a mountain of salt rumored to stand near the Missouri River, which would have been a very valuable find. American soldiers also received salt as salary during the War of 1812 because the government lacked currency to pay them.

A PINCH OF SALT (continued):

• Many cultures use salt in their religious rituals because it symbolizes “incorruptible purity.” The Shinto religion uses salt to purify an area. A handful of salt is even thrown into the center of the wrestling ring by Shintos to ward off wicked spirits before Sumo wrestlers begin their match. Buddhist custom calls for throwing salt over the shoulder upon entering a house after attending a funeral. This is to frighten off evil spirits that might be clinging to the homeowner’s back. Several European countries follow the tradition of throwing a handful of salt into a dead person’s coffin before the burial in order to keep the devil away. In some cultures, a bride pours it into her shoes for luck, and parents rub it all over newborn babies. • Lots of folks believe that spilling salt will bring bad luck. This superstition may have its origins in Leonardo da Vinci’s painting of The Last Supper. Close observation shows an upset salt container at the place of Judas Iscariot, Jesus’ betrayer. The remedy for spilled salt is to toss a pinch over your left shoulder, which supposedly blinds the devil waiting there. Those who really want to be safe also crawl under the table and come out the opposite side. The Norwegians’ superstition about spilled salt says that a person will shed as many tears as necessary to dissolve the amount spilled, while superstitious Germans believe that spilling salt brings about hostility, the result of the devil disturbing peace. • Because fruits and vegetables are nearly salt-free, vegetarians are often at risk for dietary problems. The human body needs electrolytes to function, and without salt, it runs out of electrolytes.

A PINCH OF SALT (continued):

• The familiar cylindrical salt container with the metal spout was introduced by Morton in 1911. Prior to that, salt was packaged in large cumbersome bags, which, during wet weather, wouldn’t allow the pouring of salt. Morton’s slogan “When it rains, it pours” touted its moisture-proof container. In 1914, the company introduced its famous “umbrella girl” on packaging. Her appearance has been updated five times since, in 1921, 1933, 1941, 1956 and 1968. • Salt has about 14,000 different uses, including helping in household tasks. When added to one tablespoon of lemon juice, it removes rust from scissors and other household tools. Just mix into a paste and rub on the rusty area. Salt also removes coffee stains from glass coffee pots. Mix 4 teaspoons of salt with a cup of crushed ice and a tablespoon of water and swirl it around in the pot. A handful of salt thrown into the flames in your fireplace helps loosen chimney soot. Are you troubled by weeds and grass growing up in your patio or sidewalk bricks and blocks? Spread salt in the cracks and sprinkle with water. You can remove the odor of fish from your hands by rubbing them with a lemon wedge dipped in salt. • Only about 6 percent of the world’s salt finds its way to the table. The de-icing of streets and highways eats up another 17 percent of the production. It’s also used in the leather tanning process; in the production of paper, soaps, detergents, cosmetics, paint products, batteries, glass, ceramics and adhesives; and as a refrigerant. Salt is so essential to the body that if you drink too much water it can flush it out of your system and cause fatal Hyponatremia. This is what killed Jennifer Strange who entered a “Hold your wee for a wii” competition.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

● Among those who play basketball professionally, the men average 6 feet, 7 inches tall, while the women average an even 6 feet.

● You can tell a cranberry is ripe when it can be dribbled like a basketball.

● If you’re a vegetarian, you’re part of the 3 percent of American adults who shun meat. In India, though, you’d be part of a much larger minority; nearly a third of the population of that country is vegetarian.

● Those who study such things (and seemingly have too much time on their hands) say that a quarter has 119 grooves around the outside edge, while dimes have 118. ● Have you ever heard of a woman named Thelma Pickles? Unless you’re a somewhat obsessive fan of the Beatles, probably not. She was John Lennon’s first girlfriend.

● You may be surprised to learn that the pound sign is officially known as an octothorpe. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Vitamin Supplements & Bone Fractures The New England Journal of Medicine recently reported on the relationship between vitamin D supplements and bone fractures. Researchers at Oregon State University analyzed 11 different studies done with and without calcium, which often is given at the same time as vitamin D. All participants were age 65 or older. The study concluded that there is a correlation between low levels of vitamin D and early death in older adults. Specifically, researchers looked at vitamin D levels in “frail seniors,” a group defined by having three of the following five characteristics: exhaustion, slow walking, muscle weakness, low levels of physical activity and unintentional weight loss. “Pre-frail” seniors have two of the above five. The frailest seniors had the lowest amount of vitamin D in their blood. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force found “strong evidence” that seniors need both vitamin D and regular exercise to prevent fractures from falls. So how do we get vitamin D? Ideally we get it from our diet (though there’s not much in our food) and sunshine. But many of us live in areas where it’s too cold to continue walking outside when winter comes. That’s where vitamin D supplements come in. Ask your doctor if you need a test to determine your vitamin D levels. Ask, too, whether you are in a high-risk group and perhaps need to have your balance, gait and vision assessed. Getting more vitamin D could be as simple as adding certain types of fish to your diet and taking calcium and vitamin D supplements. Don’t try this on your own because your personal dose will vary. Ask your doctor first. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

THE ALAMO

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

●● On Aug. 28, 1774, Elizabeth Ann Bayley is born in New York City. She went on to found the first Catholic school and the first female apostolic community in the United States. She also was the first American-born saint beatified by the Roman Catholic Church. ● On Sept. 1, 1850, circus entrepreneur P.T. Barnum brings to the United States Jenny Lind, the greatest opera performer in the world in the mid-19th century. Lind -- “The Swedish Nightingale” -- was a sensation. Her tour is believed to have netted Barnum close to a half-million dollars, an astonishing sum in 1850. ● On Aug. 27, 1883, the most powerful volcanic eruption in recorded history occurs on Krakatau (also called Krakatoa), a small island located in Indonesia. Heard 3,000 miles away, the explosions threw 5 cubic miles of earth 50 miles into the air and created 120-foot tsunamis. ● On Aug. 29, 1942, the Red Cross reveals that Japan has refused free passage of ships carrying food, medicine and other necessities for American POWs held by Japan. Japan allowed just one-tenth of what POWs elsewhere received to reach prisoners in their territories. ● On Aug. 31, 1959, Brooklyn Dodgers left-hander Sandy Koufax strikes out 18 batters, setting a new National League record for most strikeouts in a single game. Koufax retired after the 1966 season at just 30 years old because of arthritis in his elbow. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1972. ● On Aug. 30, 1967, Thurgood Marshall becomes the first black American to be confirmed as a Supreme Court justice. He would remain on the Supreme Court for 24 years before retiring for health reasons, leaving a legacy of upholding the rights of the individual. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Most everyone is familiar with the phrase “Remember the Alamo!” but how much do you really remember about this famous landmark? Read along, and you might just learn some new details about this San Antonio, Texas, site. • Franciscan monks and Spanish settlers began construction on the Mission San Antonio de Valero in 1724. It served as home to Catholic missionaries and their American Indian converts until 1793. The Spanish government then closed the mission and distributed the remaining lands and buildings to the Indian residents. • In the early 1800s, the mission became home to a Spanish cavalry unit. It was this group who gave the structure the name Alamo, the Spanish word for “cottonwood,” in honor of their hometown in Mexico, Alamo de Parras. The military remained occupants of the Alamo up until the time of the Texas Revolution. • As western expansion continued, more and more people were migrating to Texas, and in 1821, Stephen Austin led a group of 300 U.S. families to the area. As the population increased, the Texans sought independence from Mexico. In late 1835, a group of Texans overtook the Alamo, wresting control from the Mexican troops, putting Colonel William Travis and Colonel Jim Bowie in command of the fort. Reinforcements arrived in early 1836 to help with the defense, including American frontiersman and former Tennessee congressman Davy Crockett. About 200 volunteers were in place to defend the Alamo. • On February 23, 1836, General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna marched his Mexican force of soldiers numbering in the thousands to the outskirts of San Antonio and laid siege to the Alamo in an attempt to retake Texas. Although caught off guard while they slept, the Texans refused to give up their fight for independence and were determined to defend the fort, despite their small numbers. The Texan commander sent urgent pleas for reinforcements and supplies, but response was minimal. • Several skirmishes took place over the next 12 days with few casualties. On the 13th day, the Mexican army broke through a breach in the courtyard’s outer wall. Santa Anna’s orders were to take no prisoners, and all but two of the defenders were killed. But the Texans had fought valiantly, with the Mexican forces suffering casualties estimated anywhere between 600 and 1,600. This final battle lasted about 90 minutes. • For the next three months, the Alamo was in the control of the Mexican army. In April of that year, 800 Texans led by Sam Houston defeated Santa Anna’s 1,500-man force near the site of present-day Houston. “Remember the Alamo!” was their battle cry as they attacked. • Over the course of its long history, the Alamo has served as a mission, military quarters, housing for American Indians, a hospital, army supply depot, jail, commercial store, Masonic lodge, movie set and historic tourist attraction. The 4.2-acre site in the heart of downtown San Antonio receives more than 2.5 million visitors each year. • “…I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible and die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor and that of his country.” – Colonel William Barret Travis

August 28th 2012

December 22– January 19

June 22– July 22 Overboard is a good word to describe your actions these days, Cancer. You work hard and you play hard, and it begins to take a toll on your body.

January 20– February 18 A break in the action gets the home fires burning. Time for a date night, Aquarius. Small favors are returned in a big way. Enjoy! An order is placed.

July 23– August 22

Memories come flooding back at the sight of an old face. Invite them over for a visit. You’ll share some laughs and learn some interesting tidbits, Capricorn.

The time is right, Leo. Go ahead and pitch your idea. Not only will it be heard, but it will be heard by all the right people. A letter piques your curiosity.

August 23– September 22

February 19– March 20 A decision is made, and it takes you back for a second. Yes, Pisces, the rules have finally relaxed, giving you more leeway. Take advantage of it.

Connections are fostered at a special event and relationships grow deeper. Debate at work beings about resolution, and you have an acquaintance to thank, Virgo.

March 21– April 19 Pleas for help do not fall upon deaf ears, and you gather a small army to get the ball rolling on a project. Assignments are completed with ease with an innovation, Aries.

September 23– October 22 Change is in the air, Libra. Go with it, and you will benefit in more ways than one. A business associate makes you an offer you can’t refuse.

April 20– May 20 A special occasion draws near. Get a jump on it, Taurus. Gifts make for a fun weekend for one and all. Travel is on the agenda, and money will not be an issue.

October 23– November 21 Challenges confront you from every side, but this is your week to shine, Scorpio. You know just what to say and do to solve one problem after another.

May 21– June 21 You like to live lean, but that could turn out to be a source of conflict if you aren’t careful, Gemini. Treat a loved one and their stuff with respect.

November 22– December 21 Stand back, Sagittarius. A whirlwind comes to town and puts everyone to task. Don’t question—just do— and you will reap the rewards.

ALL ABOUT CAMELS Most of us know that camels are referred to as “ships of the desert,” but what else do you know about this unusual creature? Follow along and learn some new facts! • One hump or two? A one-hump camel is of Arabian descent and is known as the dromedary. The two-humped Asian variety is called the Bactrian. Although subjected to East Asia’s blistering summers of over 100ºF, they are also able to endure winter temperatures of -20ºF . • Although you might think the camel is a homely animal, its name comes from the Arabic word meaning “beauty.” • A camel is an ungulate, in other words, a mammal with hooves. Each foot has two toes and a pad, and the pads spread as it walks, enabling it to maneuver on soft sand without sinking. The camel’s body is specially designed to protect itself from ● Monday $5 burger sand — It has three baskets eyelids11-8 to protect ● Tuesday $6.99 tacos 11-8 the eyes from blowing sand and can also $4.00 well Margaritas 11-8 close its nostrils as a defense. Like the ● Thursday, $5 Dozen Wings 4-9 pm cow, camels are meaning they ● Sunday Allruminants, Day Happy Hour! have a multi-chambered stomach. ● All Games In High Definition TVS

• The camel’s legs are very thin, yet they are able to support not only the 1,500 pounds of the camel’s body weight, but heavy cargo weighing up to another 1,000 pounds. • If you think the camel’s hump is a reserve of water to help him through the hot desert, you’re mistaken! The hump, rising about 30 inches out of the body, is actually fat, up to 80 pounds worth, that the animal can metabolize for energy and water as needed. As the camel travels great distances without sustenance, it uses up its hump’s stores, and it arrives at its destination with a flabby hump or no hump at all! A camel is able to tolerate a 40 percent loss in body mass.

• When the camel is ready to replenish its water supply, it can drink 30 gallons in just 13 minutes! A camel has the ability to carefully preserve its body’s hydration by increasing its own body temperature, thus preventing sweating and subsequent water loss. Nostrils also trap water vapor and return it to the body’s fluids. In addition, the green plants the camel ingests contain moisture that further contributes to its hydration. It’s not unusual for a camel to endure several weeks or to travel up to 100 miles without water. • Although the camel might appear clumsy or ungainly, it can actually run up to 40 miles per hour in a short burst and sustain longer distances at 25 miles per hour.

• Many of the deserts’ nomadic tribes count on camel milk as one of their staple foods. The milk is rich in vitamins, minerals and proteins and is lower in fat and cholesterol than cow’s milk. Bedouins frequently process it into a nutritious drinkable yogurt, and some of these roaming tribes live on nothing but camel milk for six months.

• The female carries her young between 12 and 14 months. The season and the availability of food both affect the length of gestation. The average camel lives 40 to 50 years.

Plumbing Tool Kit for an Apartment Q: I’m moving into my first apartment, and my dad said that I should have some basic tools around for plumbing problems to keep damage from happening while we’re waiting for the repairman. What are the best tools to have to take care of plumbing emergencies? -- Tamara in Tuscon, Ariz. A: The most indispensible tool in the apartment plumbing toolbox is, in my experience, the plunger. This inexpensive piece of equipment can stop toilets from overflowing and unblock sinks and shower drains without doing damage to the pipes. When choosing a plunger, go for a basic “force cup” model (this is the classic plunger with a simple bell), which works best on sinks and drains. If you want something a little more powerful for toilet clogs, pick up a second plunger with a center cone, which can increase the vacuum when plunging toilets. These don’t fit sink drains very well, though. It’s also good to keep a few more tools around for other plumbing-related work. While many apartment management companies will provide more than emergency repair -- they’ll also install the shower head you want, or help with minor repairs like dripping faucets -some landlords don’t provide more than emergency service. So add these to your plumbing toolkit: --An adjustable wrench and/or channellocking pliers, which can fit varying widths of pipe. --Flat-head and Phillips-head screwdrivers. --An “offset” screwdriver to help you reach screws at weird angles. --Spare washers, o-rings and screws. --Electrician’s or duct tape, and plastic or rubber sheeting that can be cut to size and wrapped around a leaky pipe for a temporary repair while waiting for the handyman. --Teflon pipe tape, used to seal pipe threads. If you’re interested or have permission to make more heavy-duty adjustments or repairs, adding a couple of sizes of pipe wrenches to the toolkit is helpful, as is purchasing a valve-seating tool, which cleans valve seats of sink faucets (a handy tool when fixing a leaky faucet). HOME TIP: Group your plumbing repair tools in a separate box from standard home repair tools so that you’ll be able to grab everything you need without sorting through all your tools. Send your questions or tips to ask@ thisisahammer.com, or write This Is a Hammer, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Salt Fact: The amazing Salar de Uyuni (the world’s largest salt flat at 4,000 square miles) in Bolivia becomes mirrorlike when a thin layer of water lies on top. This reflectivity makes it a very useful tool in calibration scientific equipment from outer space. This amazing salt flat also contains half of the world’s supply of lithium. Take my advise when changing out your water heater. Always drain it first before carrying it up the steps from your basement. I learned this the hard way, boy was I glad to learn this for the next time I had to replace one.

● Help nylons and tights retain elasticity by giving them a final rinse in diluted vinegar before hanging to dry. Never add nylons to a heat dryer. ● “I purchase extra school supplies when back-to-school time brings the sales. Inevitably, we need extras as the school year wears on, and these items can be pricier later.” -- Y.C. in Alabama ● “A tip for setting your table: Always put pretty plastic placemats on the table first. Then your pretty cloth napkins and placemats over these. When you’re ready to eat, just remove the cloth placemats and napkins, and you’ll still have a pretty table to serve your guests.” -- J.R. in Virginia ● Ease the weekday-morning time crunch by planning your wardrobe on the weekends. Use a single hanger to gather everything you need for a smart, pulledtogether look. Attach a plastic sandwich bag with accessories to the hanger with a clothespin, and you’ll be dressed in minutes. ● If your bananas start to brown on the outside, put them in the fridge. They’ll still get brown, but the inside will stay firm instead of getting mushy. Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.
