WITH IDIOMS

by Patricia L. Cook This Tidbits delves into idioms. An idiom is “a group of words whose meaning cannot be predicted from the meanings of the constituent words.” In other words, they really don’t make sense! • If you live in the rainy Pacific Northwest, the steamy Southern states or a rain forest, you have probably heard the idiom “It was raining cats and dogs.” The origin of the phrase is unknown. One theory is that in olden days in England, dogs and cats would sleep on the thatch or hay roofs of houses. When it rained, the roofs became slippery and the animals would slide off. Hence, it was “raining cats and dogs!” • On the other hand, if you are sitting in a theater, you may be in the “peanut gallery.” This term was popularized in the late 19th century and referred to seats located in the balcony of the theater, the “cheap” seats. People in these seats would sometimes throw peanuts, common theater food of the time, on those seated below. The term was also used for those seated in the first row on the floor seats where the patrons could throw peanuts on stage if they weren’t pleased with the performance. • Regarding theater lingo, when “the plot thickens,” it means that the situation is becoming more difficult or complicated. turn the page for more!

WITH IDIOMS (continued): • Many consider theater performances to be luxuries for the wealthy, those who “live high on the hog.” This expression came about because only the rich could afford the choicest cuts of pork, like loin, which comes from the top of the pig. • The best cuts of pork were usually consumed at the time of butchering. The other cuts were salt cured for preservation to be eaten during the winter. When spring arrived, people were “scraping the bottom of the barrel” looking for any scraps remaining. The term is now used to refer to the last food in the pantry, money in the budget, last one chosen for a team, etc. • Another term for the wealthy is the “upper crust.” This term comes from England, where the smell of bread wafted from the kitchens of country estates. The upper crust was the superior un-burnt part of a loaf that was served to the “gentry” or high society. • In Biblical times, the “upper crust,” or upper class, was offered the “fat of the land.” This meant the fattest and best livestock. •Another familiar expression with origins in the Bible is “salt of the earth.” Salt was not only expensive, it was also a vital preservative. People referred to as the “salt of the earth” were and are very precious. • Again thinking of the precious commodity of salt, a compliment that someone is “worth his salt” means he is doing a good job and is a valuable worker. Salt was so valuable in ancient days that Roman soldiers were sometimes paid with salt instead of or in addition to coins or currency.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR JIM COYLE The 5 Five C’s Conflict resolution is a buzz phrase of learning how to get along through the speed bumps of relationships. Recent studies have shown that the majority of relational conflicts are a result of misunderstandings (about 85%) and the others (about 15%) are disagreements. If the majority of our conflicts are misunderstandings then we can do something about correcting them. We can work toward a win/win solution if we apply the 5 C’s Clarify perceptions: open yourself up to the other person’s view of the situation Compromise: begin to work toward the middle to create a win/win solution Choose: decide on the most favorable option together Challenge: each person involved needs to accept the challenge Commitment: the follow through is the integrity it takes to make it work

WITH IDIOMS (continued): • In stark contrast to a good worker stands one who isn’t. A sorry or less-than-stellar worker may get “canned” or “sacked.” This terminology came from coal miners who were given a chit, a “statement of an amount owed for food and drink,” which they could use at the company store. When let go, their severance pay was a can of food usually put in a sack. • Just as a bad worker can affect the attitudes of his co-workers, a “bad apple” can ruin a whole bag or box of apples. This term has been used with all kinds of produce and people as well. You don’t want to be the “bad apple” in the crowd! • If you find yourself in the unsavory position of being the person viewed as the “bad apple,” you may find yourself “eating humble pie.” This saying came about in a circuitous way. In the 14th century, the heart, liver, entrails, etc. of animals were called the “numbles” (noumbles, nomblys, noubles). In the 15th century, they were called “umbles.” The umbles were used as an ingredient in pies. Only lower class folks ate “humble pie.” Hence, abasing or lowering oneself was seen as taking oneself to a lower class. • Bakers in Europe were not usually baking “humble pie” but pastries, cookies, rolls and other fine treats. Because they could receive stiff punishment for shorting customers, bakers would usually put 13 or more pieces in their orders just to be sure. This is where the “baker’s dozen” originated. • British sailors on war ships in the 1700s might have appreciated some “humble pie” or a generous “baker’s dozen.” Their ships did not have the best living conditions. Usually, a sailor’s breakfast and lunch was only bread and a beverage. The third meal of the day included meat and was presented on a square tray. Hence the term “square meal” was coined to identify the most substantial meal of the day. Crack Up: To make someone laugh.

WITH IDIOMS (continued): • A popular topping for pizza, “Canadian bacon” has hog geography behind its name. It doesn’t have anything to do with the country of Canada other than its location relative to the United States. Traditional bacon is cut from the underbelly or south side of the pig. Canadian bacon is cut from the loin area, the upper part of the pig. Since it is from the north — Oh, Canada! • In England, it is customary to extend hospitality to visitors, even complete strangers. However, when the host chose to serve a “cold shoulder” of beef, it signaled that it was time for the guests to move on. Think about this the next time you snub someone or give them the “cold shoulder.” • When wood stoves were used to cook beef shoulders and more, cooks used the front burners for intense heat and for stoking the fire to avoid a reach across the hot stove top. When it was time to slow down or simmer the food, it was put on the “back burner.” Now that term is used for putting something on hold, such as a chore you need, but don’t want, to do. • Now for “a toast” to our Tidbits readers! Toasting is a medieval tradition that honored a host with a gesture for long life. The gesture entailed placing a crust of bread into a goblet of wine and raising it to the host, an adaptation of Holy Communion.

Food Safety

One of the best kitchen gadgets I’ve ever invested in is a digital thermometer. Within seconds, it tells me the temperature of the food I’m cooking and whether it’s done. Temperature is one of the most important safety steps in food preparation to avoid food poisoning. To help us stay safe, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has created a free booklet especially for us: Food Safety for Older Adults. It has information we need to know and keep handy: How we get a food-borne illness, and what can happen to us if we do. How to choose lower-risk food options. How long food stays safe in the refrigerator. And much more. For example, did you know that lunch and deli meats need to be heated to 165 degrees Fahrenheit? The bacteria Listeria can grow even at proper 40-degree refrigerator temperature. My favorite part of the booklet, especially since I now have a high-tech digital thermometer, is the picture chart of the recommended internal temperatures of cooked food. Fish, 145 degrees. Beef, 160 degrees. And so on. I also invested in two refrigerator/freezer thermometers to make sure the old refrigerator and freezer are keeping food at the correct temperature: 40 degrees for the refrigerator and 0 degrees for the freezer. There are a number of steps involved in finding the booklet online, but it’s worth the trouble. Go to www.fsis.usda.gov, click Fact Sheets, At-Risk Populations, More Like This at the bottom of that category, then scroll down to the PDF version of Food Safety for Older Adults. If you can’t find it, send email to: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/ to request the booklet. Or call the hotline and request it at 1-888-674-6854.

This is fine, but please do not leave papers that have been cut-apart in any waiting rooms which you may have picked up this paper at. To ensure that this does not happen, I always ask our clients that do require to see the ad in order for a customer to receive the stated offer that they never accept only a clipped out offer. Even if you take the entire paper with you and cut the offer out at home, the offer is no longer valid. I’m sure once you present the paper with the offer, the client would let you take the remaining paper home if you request to do so. Thank you very much for your readership!

We recently had a reader comment about asking people to take the whole paper in to, for example, Johnny Boy's, perhaps you could ask people not to cut things out unless they take the whole paper with them. “I always cut out the puzzles and answers, and I regularly cut out tidbits to share with other people” - from the paper I take with me.

● On Sept. 22, 1776, in New York City, 21-year-old Nathan Hale, a captain in the Continental Army, is executed by the British for spying. Before being hanged, legend holds that Hale said, “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” There is no historical record to prove that Hale actually made this statement. ● On Sept. 21, 1938, a powerful Category 3 hurricane slams into Long Island and southern New England. Charlie Pierce, a junior forecaster in the U.S. Weather Bureau, was sure that the hurricane was heading for the Northeast, but the chief forecaster overruled him. All told, 700 people were killed by the hurricane. ● On Sept. 19, 1959, in one of the more surreal moments in the history of the Cold War, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev explodes with anger when he learns he cannot visit Disneyland. Government authorities feared that the crowds would pose a safety hazard. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:

DEAD SEA

Even though fresh water is continually draining into the Dead Sea, it is nearly 10 times as salty as the oceans and twice as salty as Utah’s Great Salt Lake. • One of the world’s most unusual places, the Dead Sea is also called the Salt Sea. Located in the Middle East, it is bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and the West Bank to the west. The Hebrew name for the Dead Sea is Yam ha Maved, which actually means “killer sea.” The Dead Sea is the lowest point on earth, over 1,312 feet below sea level. At its deepest part, it is over 2,300 feet below sea level. The Dead Sea is 42 miles long and 11 miles wide at its widest point. • The main tributary into the sea is the Jordan River. The Dead Sea does not empty out anywhere — It is endorheic, which means it has no outlet besides evaporation. It is totally landlocked, and the deeper areas are the saltiest. There is an estimated 1.9 billion tons of potassium chloride salt in the Dead Sea that are harvested by using a system of evaporation ponds. • The Dead Sea has a salinity reading of 33.7 percent, meaning nearly 35 percent of the water is dissolved salts. Ocean water is 3.5 percent dissolved salts. • Due to the high salinity of the Dead Sea, no fish or any kind of swimming, squirming creature lives in or near the water. Fish accidentally swimming into the waters from one of the several freshwater streams that feed the Sea are killed instantly, their bodies quickly coated with a preserving layer of salt crystals and then tossed onto shore by the wind and waves. • There are, however, several species of bacteria and one species of algae that are adapted to harsh life in the Dead Sea. White salt crystals cover everything on the shore. And this is no ordinary table salt; the salts found in the Dead Sea are mineral salts — mostly chloride salts of magnesium, sodium, potassium and bromine — just like you find in the oceans of the world, only in extreme concentrations. • The leading attraction at the Dead Sea is the warm, soothing, super-salty water. This water has attracted visitors since ancient times, including King Herod the Great and the beautiful Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra. • Due to the high salinity, water in the Dead Sea is extremely buoyant — A person can float effortlessly on his or her back and not have to expend energy treading water. Also, the high salt content and warm temperature of the water provide therapy for ailments such as rheumatism, gynecological diseases and bronchial conditions. • Dead Sea Works, Ltd. (DSW) is a company dedicated to harvesting minerals from the waters of the Dead Sea. DSW is located on the southwest side of the Sea and employs 1,600 people. • Potash is the most valuable of the minerals extracted today and is used in the manufacture of fertilizer. Other minerals extracted are used in making products such as potassium chloride salt, industrial salts, de-icers, bath salts, table salt and raw materials for the cosmetic industry.

December 22– January 19

June 22– July 22 Your fortitude is put to the test with a friend. Don’t give in, Cancer. You are on the right page. Revving up your fitness routine is a good idea.

January 20– February 18 Passion ignites, and love is in the air. Make plans to reconnect with that special someone, Aquarius. A home improvement project hits a snag.

July 23– August 22

Smile, Capricorn. Great things are in store. A chance encounter proves very lucrative indeed. A work issue is resolved with a bit of ingenuity.

February 19– March 20 Thoughts of yesteryear inspire you to start a new tradition. Get the family involved, Pisces, so it will truly be yours. A deadline approaches with fury.

Make no mistake, Leo. One slip of the tongue could cause the whole thing to come crashing down. Be careful what you say and in how you approach it.

August 23– September 22 A principle is challenged. Stand your ground, Virgo. A financial dilemma is resolved with help from a pro. An avenue of opportunity opens up.

March 21– April 19 A project gets off to a rocky start, but lucky for you, Aries, there will be no further snags. A family recipe brings people together and turns dinner time into a smash.

September 23– October 22 Career goals are easily attained with the right training, but you’re looking for it in all the wrong places, Libra. A young friend owes you one—payback time.

April 20– May 20 Troubled times come to an end and free you up for some real fun, Taurus. Travel, hobbies, sports and so much more could be on the agenda.

October 23– November 21 Sunny days are here again, as old friends and new drop by for a visit. So many adventures await, Scorpio. A shopping trip uncovers quite the find!

May 21– June 21 Face it, Gemini. Hopes are dashed for now, but all is not lost. A better opportunity will present itself. A houseguest brings harmony to your home.

November 22– December 21 The to-do list grows out of hand, and you must seek the help of others. Start with those who owe you a favor, Sagittarius, and don’t let them weasel out of it.

PEANUTS

If peanuts are your favorite nut, you are not alone. However, peanuts are not nuts: They are legumes, related to beans, peas and lentils. • Peanuts originated in South America. They are now grown in warm areas of Asia, Africa, Australia and North and South America. Fifteen states in the United States grow peanuts, with Georgia being the top producing state. • Peanuts are the official state crop of Georgia, and the state produces almost half of the total U.S. peanut crop. Most people are aware that President Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer from Plains, Georgia. But many are unaware that he was the second peanut farmer to serve as President of the United States. Thomas Jefferson was the first. • Peanuts have been grown in the United States since the 1800s. Peanut popularity ● Monday baskets surged during $5 theburger Civil War, with11-8 soldiers on Tuesday $6.99 11-8 legumes for both●sides eating thetacos protein-rich well Margaritas 11-8 energy$4.00 and sustenance. ● Thursday, $5 Dozen Wings 4-9 pm they • Peanuts are powerhouses of nutrition; ● Sunday All Day Happy Hour! are cholesterol-free, contain about 26 percent

Ban toilet cleaner- Germs have feelings too as they are part of Gods living creatures.

• Even though Georgia is the No. 1 state for peanut production, the peanut capital of the world is Dothan, Alabama. About half of the peanuts grown in the United States are grown within a 100-mile radius of Dothan. The 69th National Peanut Festival will be held in Dothan from November 2-11, 2012. • The first National Peanut Festival was held in 1938. The honored guest speaker for the inaugural event was Dr. George Washington Carver, who is known as the father of the U.S. peanut industry. Dr. Carver developed over 300 uses for the peanut in his work at the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama. • Because of Dr. Carver’s extensive work with peanuts, many believe he invented peanut butter, but he did not. Several doctors experimenting with peanuts in the late 1890s wanted a peanut product or paste that would be easy for their patients with bad teeth. • Dr. John Kellogg was one doctor who wanted the healthy, protein-rich peanut paste for his patients. He and his brother, W.K. Kellogg, worked together and actually patented a peanut butter process in 1895. The brothers went on to develop their cereal company and let others sell peanut butter.

• The public introduction to peanut butter in the United States happened at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, called the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. C.H. Sumner’s concession stand sold over $700 worth of peanut butter. From that point on that peanut butter became a standard in most cupboards. The United States is the biggest supplier and consumer of peanut butter. • Peanuts are different from other crops in many ways. “Digger” and “shaker” machines are used for harvesting peanuts to bring them to the top of the ground to dry. Much care is taken in getting the peanuts to dry correctly in their shells to prepare them for market. • Peanut plants grow roots underground, with stems, leaves and small yellow flowers above ground. The flowers pollinate themselves. As the flowers wilt, their bases do something unique. The stalks, called pegs, point downward and go into the ground. After going underground, the pegs turn sideways and form peanut pods. Each plant will produce 40 or more pods with two to six peanuts in each pod or shell.

Dry Basement’ Springs a Leak Q: Our basement was outfitted as a “dry basement” several years ago and then finished to become additional living space, which we use as a rec room and for storage. I’ve noticed a musty smell for some time, and after heavy rains last week I saw water pooling near a corner of the basement. However, I can’t find the source of the leak. What can I do? -- Tara in St. Louis A: It sounds like there is a leak somewhere in the foundation. You’re right to be looking at that one corner as the most likely source of the water leak, but determining where the water is entering may be difficult. Dry basements are made so through a number of techniques, including directing rainwater away from your home’s foundation. This is accomplished through surface drainage (such as your home’s gutter system) as well as subsurface drainage, which stops water which has percolated through the surface from entering the basement. Subsurface drainage is typically put in place at the time of a home’s construction. This includes sloping the ground beneath the planned basement floor to direct water away from the house, adding a gravel layer and a nonpermeable layer above that, and then pouring the basement’s concrete floor. Basement walls should be sealed on the outside at the time of construction. Over time, concrete basement walls can develop tiny cracks that let more moisture through. This may be happening in your basement. There may be a larger crack near your home’s foundation that is letting more water in, or perhaps something has changed in the way runoff moves away from your home’s foundation. Patch larger cracks in the driveway or in masonry or concrete surrounding your home. Check the exterior of your house. Is the gutter system in good repair? Where do the drainspouts end? They should extend out from the foundation. If rainwater is pouring directly onto the foundation, it could be seeping more rapidly into the basement. If none of these seem to be a problem or don’t clear up the leakage issue, contact a professional contractor who specializes in basement moisture problems to snoop out deeper issues. HOME TIP: Use a humidifier in the basement during the summer months to combat excess humidity and minor condensation.

● Be sure to comb the leftovers from backto-school sales. Pick up supplies that will need to be replenished as the school year moves on. Also, there are many imaginative pencil cases that can double as travel jewelry and makeup bags. Often you can pick up several at a good price.

● “Just after Labor Day, our family starts to think about who will host holiday dinners and such. We do it in a lottery. Whoever just hosted is exempt if they want to be. The rest of those who’d like to host a holiday event put their names in a pot and we pick out names. The events are the usuals, like Christmas and Thanksgiving, but also a cookie-making party and the children’s party. It’s better than one person always having to do it, or always getting to do it.” -- E.D. in Massachusetts ● If you’re getting your outdoor furniture ready for storage, here’s a great cleaning idea. Load it all in the back of a truck, take it to a self-serve car wash and clean with the pressure hoses. Let dry and it’s ready. ● “Dust books with a vacuum assist! I put the leg of a panty hose over my vacuum wand and secure it tightly. Then I dust my bookshelves, holding the wand close by to suck up the dust that gets disturbed. It’s less messy, I think. I still dust from the top down.” -- L.K. in Ohio ● To make your own disinfecting wipes, cut paper towels into four squares each. Saturate with a half alcohol, half water mix and store in a plastic freezer bag or a diaper-wipe container. You can use these to clean telephones and doorknobs during cold and flu season.

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 Tuesdays from 5:30 to 8:30 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.
