In winter most areas of North America are dealing with cold weather. Some people love it; some hate it. In this Tidbits we will look at ice fishing and icebergs, as well as how you can be left “out in the cold,” and that has nothing to do with the weather!

• Cold is defined as “having a relatively low temperature; having little or no warmth.” Also, in regards to behavior or personality it can be: “lacking in passion, emotion, enthusiasm” or “not affectionate, cordial, or friendly.” • If you’ve ever been in a situation where you were ignored, neglected or forgotten, you probably felt like you were “left out in the cold.” In this situation, the term is used as an idiom. This idiom originated in the 1800s in reference to someone who was left outdoors without shelter. Hopefully this doesn’t happen often! • Many fishermen (mostly men, but there are women enthusiasts as well) love to drill through deep ice and wait for fish to bite! Ice fishing is a major winter past-time in Canada and northern states in the U.S. that are cold enough for thick ice. Some great advantages of ice fishing: not as many anglers trying to get your spot, fewer insects “bugging” you, and you’re not likely to perspire!

• More than 60% of the fish Canadians catch beneath the ice are caught and released. They eat less than one third of their catch. They practice CPR: “catch, photograph, release!” • Minnesota is nicknamed the “Land of 10,000 Lakes.” There are actually 11,842 lakes in the state that are 10 acres or larger. With so many lakes and cold winters it is no wonder that ice fishing is a popular sport. • Minnesota is known for its abundance of ice shelters set up on the state’s lakes. If you’ve ever flown into or out of the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport you have probably noticed all of the dots on the lakes! Each year it is estimated that around 150,000 ice fishing shelters are set up. The state’s Department of Natural Resources estimates that about 30% of the fish caught in the state are caught when the lakes are frozen.

• Ice fishing is a risky sport and the depth of the ice is something to be taken very seriously. In 2009, over 100 people were stranded on the Great Lakes. They became stranded when ice broke away where they were fishing. The Coast Guard rescued all, however, one died in route to the hospital due to . This life threatening condition occurs when body temperature falls below 95° F.

(continued): • It is imperative when ice fishing to get expert advice. Knowing the area and the ice conditions can make the sport fun; not knowing can lead to disaster. It is recommended that ice thickness for someone fishing alone (not really advisable) be almost four inches. For groups, where more are standing on the ice, the ice should be about 7.5 inches. When vehicles are taken on the ice, which does happen in some cold climates, the ice should be 11-12 inches. • Icebergs are much thicker than the ice that freezes over lakes in the winter. Icebergs are chunks of ice that developed on land, then break off and float in a lake or ocean. The word “iceberg” originates from the Dutch “ijsberg”, which means ice mountain.

• Icebergs are found in all shapes and sizes, from very small pieces to ice islands that can be the size of a small country. The term “iceberg” actually refers to ice larger than 16 feet in diameter. Smaller icebergs are known as growlers and bergy bits. Even though they are smaller, they are harder to spot and therefore very dangerous for ships. •
Even though most icebergs are found floating in oceans of salt water they are made of pure fresh water. Most of the icebergs on earth are found in the frigid waters surrounding Antarctica and in the northern Atlantic Ocean. Most icebergs originate near the west coast of Greenland.
• “Iceberg Alley” is the name given to an area from Baffin Bay, off the west coast of Greenland where many massive icebergs break into the water, to the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador on the east coast of Canada. The Newfoundland and Labrador area is known as the Iceberg Capital of the World.

• Approximately 90% of the icebergs that are in the waters near Newfoundland and Labrador originated from the glaciers of western Greenland. They are among the fastest moving icebergs in the world. Even so, by most standards, the four miles per year that they tend to move seems slow. It takes an estimated two to three years for the massive icebergs to cover the 1600 nautical miles and reach the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. If icebergs reach the Atlantic Ocean before melting, they melt rather quickly in the warm waters. • After the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, near Newfoundland, the United States, Canada, and eleven other countries formed the International Ice Patrol. The patrol uses airplanes and radar to track icebergs that make their way into the major shipping lanes. The U.S. National Ice Center monitors icebergs larger than 5,400 square feet near Antarctica using satellite data. Icebergs are not just studied and watched to protect ships, scientists use them as tools for studying ocean processes and climate. • A way that some inventive Canadians have chosen to use the abundance of icebergs floating in their waters is in creating vodka and other alcoholic spirits. The Iceberg Vodka Corporation, based in St. John’s Newfoundland, produces spirits “made from naturally pure 12,000-year-old icebergs harvested off the coast of Newfoundland.” They use Ontario-grown sweet corn in making their beverages as well. They also make Iceberg Rum and Iceberg Gin. • The largest iceberg ever recorded was found near Baffin Island in 1882. Eight miles long and three miles wide, its height above water was 65 feet.
Two Penguins are sitting on an iceberg. The iceberg splits in two trapping one penguin on each side. As the penguins drift apart from one another, one penguin shouts, “GOODBYE!” The other penguin responds, “CHOCOLATE MILK!”

Not only has the flu arrived early this season, but it appears to moving quickly. Seniors are at risk of becoming extremely ill from the flu, so it's up to us to do everything we can to avoid catching it. We say this to little kids all the time: "Keep your hands away from your face." But it's true. Granted, the flu is respiratory and is generally spread through someone sneezing or coughing near us, but flu germs can live on surfaces. If transferred to our hands and then our face, we can catch the flu. An important point: People who have the flu can give it to you a whole day before they even know they're getting sick. Some hints to avoid the flu: --Carry hand wipes when you shop. If the store doesn't have any near the carts, use yours to wipe down the handle and seat before you touch it. --Use alcohol-based wipes on your phone and doorknobs at home, just in case. --Stock up on hand sanitizer and keep a small bottle with you when you go out. --Stay out of stores after school hours when small children might be with their parents. If you haven't had a flu shot for some reason, call your doctor and ask if you should have one. Age alone, if you're over 65, can put you in a high-risk category, and so can any medical condition you might have. If you do get the flu, ask your doctor about a prescription for an antiviral drug. The drugs work best if started within two days of getting sick. They can make the symptoms a little easier to handle, and they can prevent complications like pneumonia.

December 22– January 19
Doggone it, Capricorn. Just as you check off everything from your to-do list, another one arrives. Relax. Help will come from an unexpected source.
January 20– February 18
Settle down, Aquarius. You’re chomping at the bit to help out an acquaintance, but this is one battle you’re not prepared to fight. Back off.
February 19– March 20
June 22– July 22
Looking to get away from it all, Cancer? Your wish is about to be granted. Make sure you build some flexibility into your plans, else you could miss out on an opportunity.
July 23– August 22 Promises, promises, Leo. You’ve made many, and now it’s time to act on them. Start with one you made to an old friend. They could use your support.
August 23– September 22
Calling all Pisces. Volunteers are crucial to many charitable organizations, and you have the time to help, so sign up. You won’t believe the good that comes of it.
Priorities, Virgo. There is much to be done, but you won’t get far if you don’t sit down and determine the tasks requiring attention first. An offer is extended.
March 21– April 19
September 23– October 22
Rats, Aries. A completion date moves further away, and you must rally the troops with a fun activity. An indoor adventure may be in order.
April 20– May 20
Financial concerns move front and center with a new source of revenue. Paying off debt and putting some back will serve you well—sooner than later, Taurus.
May 21– June 21
Don’t underestimate a competitor, Gemini. They have more up their sleeve than you realize. A game of wits finally ends at home, and you come out the winner..
Pay naysayers no heed, Libra. Your idea is solid. You just need to fine-tune it before the presentation. A meeting of the minds sets things straight.
October 23– November 21
A financial endeavor begins to pay off for a friend. A celebratory dinner is in order, and you’re just the one to host it, Scorpio. An email brings home a point..
November 22– December 21
Vying for a position, Sagittarius? Work hard, and it will be yours. It really is that simple. The need to declutter becomes all too clear at home.
Queen Victoria holds the title of the longest reigning monarch in the United Kingdom. She ruled from 1837-1901; for 63 years and 7 months. The current queen, Queen Elizabeth II, has been in power for almost 61 years. • Born on May 24, 1819, at Kensington Palace in London, Victoria was the only child of Prince Edward (Duke of Kent) and Princess Victoria Mary Louisa of Saxe-CoburgSaalfeld. Christened “Alexandrina Victoria” and called “Drina” by her family, the future queen’s formal name from birth was Her Royal Highness Princess Victoria of Kent. • Queen Victoria’s father died when she was only eight months old. Her mother was very protective and she was taught at home. Her first language was German but she was taught to speak French and English when she was only three years old. (Later in life she also learned to speak Hindustani since she became ruler of India.) She studied history, geography and the Bible and was taught to play the piano and to paint. • Victoria was the granddaughter of George III and inherited the throne from her uncle William IV. Her father was one of four sons of George III but since none of his brothers had legitimate children in line for the throne, she became William IV’s successor. Victoria was elevated to the throne at the young age of 18, with her coronation held a year later on June 28, 1838. • When Queen Victoria was 21 years old she married German Prince Albert, who was her cousin. In her first years as queen her main advisers were her Prime Minister Lord Melbourne and her uncle, King Leopold of Belgium. • After marrying Prince Albert, he became her major confidant and advisor. He helped her learn to rule in the constitutional role where the monarchy had much influence but the powers were mostly with Parliament. • The British Empire became very powerful during Queen Victoria’s reign. She ruled about one quarter of the world’s landmass and approximately one quarter of the world’s population; about 450 million people. The land under British rule was so large that many said “the sun never set on the British Empire.” It stretched around the globe from Canada to the Caribbean, Australia, New Zealand, Africa and India. India was considered the “Jewel in the Crown” and Queen Victoria was given the title of Empress of India in 1876. • Queen Victoria’s long reign became known as the Victorian era: a time of great industrial, scientific, political, military, and trade advancement for Great Britain. • The Queen and Prince Albert had 9 children and 42 grandchildren. The queen was called “Grandmother of Europe,” by managing the marriages of her children and grandchildren into other European royal families. • When Prince Albert died in 1861, Queen Victoria mourned, rarely seen in public, for about ten years. Known as the “Widow of Windsor,” she wore black for the remaining 40 years of her reign. She was the last monarch of the House of Hanover. • Her son, Albert Edward, became King Edward VII at her death in 1901. King Edward was the first monarch of the House of Windsor, which is still in power today. Queen Elizabeth II and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, are both great-great-grandchildren of Queen Victoria.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver
● Are you a dromomaniac? If you travel compulsively, you are. ● The famed statue Venus de Milo was lost to history for nearly 2,000 years. No one knew of its existence until 1820, when a Greek peasant tilling a field on the island of Milos hit stone -- several carved blocks of stone, to be specific. Within a few weeks, archaeologists arrived and took the statue of Aphrodite to France. King Louis XVIII dubbed it the Venus de Milo and donated it to the Louvre, where it remains today (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.
In 1988, WHY USA introduced a revolutionary new system for buying and selling real estate. It enabled homeowners to sell faster and save thousands. It helped home buyers find the right home and then buy it for less. It gave sellers an opportunity to save money and maximize their “net” proceeds. It gave real estate agents a consumer friendly program to attract more business. The founder of WHY USA asked his sellers, “ if there was a way for you to save thousands of dollars by doing very little would you be interested in learning about it?” The “little effort” is… the seller hosts the open house. The “save thousands of dollars” is… you pay just $990 if/ when you get an offer from a buyer when there is NOT a real estate agent involved. WHY USA takes care of the entire transaction.
WHY USA sellers also receive traditional FULL SERVICE. Their homes are listed on the MLS (multiple listing service), sign in Over 70 yard, secure lockbox system at the Flavors of property, professional showings, and Popcorn Gifts For All Occasions Mention this ad when an aggressive marketing program.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE Why Am I Living?
Life’s demands have a tendency to bankrupt us for our purpose on earth. There are millions of people who have crashed and burned, which makes our gravesites the wealthiest places on earth. Our desires are the driving force behind the wheel of life. Do my desires benefit others or me? “We are created to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10. Consider the ant. The ant has 2 stomachs, one for his needs and one for the colony it serves. Let’s look at our desires: • Does my work benefit the “colony” I serve? • Are my desires in harmony with my passion? • Am I caught in the hamster wheel spinning out of control? Gods plan for your life is waiting for you. “Seek and you will find, ask and you shall receive, knock and the door will be opened.”

Go back to the 70’s with The Old Creamery Theatre and the Ox Yoke Inn® for this year’s comic murder mystery dinner theatre, Death by Disco.
Your favorite Old Creamery performers are breaking out the platform shoes and dusting off their disco moves to take you to the disco contest where someone won’t be “Staying Alive” after all. The evening comes complete with an Ox Yoke Inn® dinner fit for any disco king or queen. Dinner includes salad, entrée of your choice, beverage and dessert. Written by James Daab, Death by Disco opens Feb. 14 and runs through March 16. Performance dates are as follows: Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 14 - 17 Friday and Saturday, Feb. 22 & 23, March 1 & 2, 8 & 9, 15 & 16. The cast of Death by Disco consists of Nicholas Hodge of South Amana, T.J. Besler of Manchester, Stacia McKee of Coralville, Jackie McCall and Sean McCall both of Marengo, Eddie Skaags of Cedar Rapids, Deborah Kennedy and Tom Milligan both of West Amana. Cost for dinner and the show is $45 per person. Seating starts at 5:30 p.m. and the show starts at 6 p.m. Because the action takes place over dinner, there are no “show only” tickets available. Tickets are available in person at the Ox Yoke Inn®, Amana or by calling Taylor, Group Sales Manager at the Ox Yoke, weekdays 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 800-233-3441. Death by Disco is sponsored by Amana Insurance Agency and Allied Insurance. The Old Creamery Theatre Company is a not-for-profit professional theatre founded in 1971 in Garrison, Iowa. The company is celebrating 42 years of bringing live, professional theatre to the people of Iowa and the Midwest.
While many China cabinets and hutches contain tea cup collections in the homes of wealthy and not-so-wealthy North Americans, these fine breakables are not just for special occasions. Many homes around the world use their tea sets on a regular basis. • The reason most tea cups are considered “China,” is that they originated in that country. The first tea cups did not have handles and were called tea bowls. Some of the early tea bowls used in Europe were more like deep saucers and were used so that the tea cooled quicker. • Saucers, as we know them, to accompany tea cups did not appear until 1700. Tea cups with handles were not seen until Robert Adams came up with the idea in about 1750. • The English embraced Mr. Adams designs. They thought tea bowls were messy and people often burned their hands on them. Robert Adams designed cups that were taller and wider than the base and the saucers he introduced, more flat like small plates, were welcomed as a place to let a hot cup rest. His designs quickly became the standard for what became known as the “English Tea Service Set.” • Since the English started the tradition of putting cream and sugar in their tea, Mr. Adams also started designing tea pots, sugar holders, cream/milk containers, and even matching tea spoons. His sets were made from porcelain that was strong but looked beautiful and delicate. English porcelain tea cups have a translucent look when held up to a light. • The Chinese still prefer to drink tea from pottery-ware. They use what is known as “purple clay” from the Yixing, Jianqsu, and Jinqdezhen regions of China. • Chinese purple clay cups are thicker than most pottery and without handles. The thicker pottery protects hands from burns that are possible with thinner China cups. • Japanese tea drinkers also use handle-less pottery or sometimes ceramic cups. They usually have hand painted designs with poems, flowers or even geisha girls. Some Japanese tea ware is made with innovative lids and strainers built into the cups. • Middle Eastern countries enjoy tea in tea bowls or glasses. Tea glasses are preferred in Morocco. They are usually very festive and decorated with colorful artistic details. • Tea in India is usually of the Chai variety and served in small glass tea cups or tea bowls. • If you visit Tibet you are likely to be served their famous (or is it infamous?) yak butter tea. This different tea is not served using an English tea service but appears in a large tea pot and is usually poured and imbibed from wooden tea bowls. • Russians embraced tea as a beverage in the early 1600s and it was a major part of a trade treaty with China establishing a border between the two countries. Russian tea service is centered on a massive tea vessel, called a samovar, similar to Tibetan pots used for yak butter tea. The tea is served in a glass that is placed in a silver (or other metal) holder called a podstakanniki. Tea and vodka are the most popular drinks in Russia. • Wherever you travel it is likely that you will be able to order tea. It is one of the most popular drinks worldwide. The royal families of England were the ones who made tea services popular for formal and informal visiting. It was during the reign of Queen Victoria (18371901) that the modern six piece tea sets were introduced to the public.
