TIDBITS® TAKES A LOOK AT FOOTBALL STADIUMS

by Patricia L. Cook This Tidbits tackles some football stadiums where history was made. Looking only at college stadiums, let’s kick back and learn!

• Three of the oldest college football stadiums in the nation are in the northeast, where the oldest institutions of higher learning in this country exist.

• The University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field is considered by the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) to be the oldest football stadium. Built in 1895, it originally cost $100,000. Rebuilt in 1922, it became the nation’s first two-tiered stadium. Franklin Field was the location of the nation’s first scoreboard in 1895, first football radio broadcast in 1922, and first telecast in 1939.

• The horseshoe-shaped Harvard Stadium is claimed on Harvard’s website to be the nation’s oldest stadium.

Built in 1903, recognized as a National Historic Landmark, the stadium was the world’s first “massive reinforced concrete structure.”

• The first bowl-shaped stadium was the Yale Bowl, opened at Yale University in 1914. When it opened it was the largest stadium in the world since construction of the Roman Coliseum in 80 AD. It is one of four National Historic Landmarks on Yale’s campus.

• Another historic stadium dating back to 1913 is

Flu Shots and More

Potato Skins

Celebrate football season with our fully loaded skins. They weigh in at just 120 calories per serving versus the classic’s 350, and have one-fifth the saturated fat. Our secret: lighter ingredients (reduced-fat sour cream, Pecorino cheese) that pack a lot of flavor.

Touchdown!

4 large (12 ounces each) baking (russet) potatoes, well scrubbed 4 slices center-cut bacon 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil Salt Pepper 1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream 1 ounce Pecorino Romano cheese, finely grated 1 large (10- to 12-ounce) tomato, finely chopped 2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives 1. Preheat oven to 400 F. 2. With fork, pierce each potato 3 times. Place potatoes on parchment paper. Microwave on High 8 minutes. Turn over; microwave on High 10 minutes longer or until tender. Cover with kitchen towel; let cool.

3. Meanwhile, in 18-by-12-inch jelly-roll pan, arrange bacon in single layer. Roast 10 to 12 minutes or until browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels. When cool, crumble.

Discard fat from pan but do not wipe clean; set pan aside. Reset oven to 475 F. 4. Cut each potato in quarters lengthwise. With spoon, scoop potato from skins, leaving about 1/4 inch of potato with skin and being careful not to break through skin.

Reserve cooked potato for another use.

5. Arrange skins, skin side up, in single layer on reserved pan. Brush with oil; sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper.

6. Roast 13 to 15 minutes or until browned and crisp. Transfer, skin sides down, to serving plate.

7. To assemble, spread 1 teaspoon sour cream on each skin. Top with cheese, tomato, bacon and chives. Makes 8 appetizer servings. ¥ Each serving: About 120 calories, 5g total fat (2g saturated), 13mg cholesterol, 160mg sodium, 16g total carbs, 3g dietary fiber, 4g protein.

Every year, officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and their counterparts around the globe get together to decide which combinations of vaccine should be put in flu shots. This year, of the three types that will be used (H1N1, H3N2 and influenza B virus), two of them are new.

It’s the H3N2 virus that appears to be taking off like a rocket already.

In all of 2011, there were only 12 total cases. Already this year, that number is up to 306 and rising, with most of it happening since summer.

Many pharmacies have been making flu shots available for years, and some of them have now expanded to include a whole array of vaccinations: --Flu (influenza) --Pneumonia (pneumococcal) --Tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough (pertussis) (Tdap) --HPV (human papillomavirus)

--Meningitis (meningococcal) --Hepatitis B --MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) --Shingles (herpes zoster) --Chickenpox (varicella) --Hepatitis A That’s quite a long list. And that’s where a potential problem lies: Should you have all those shots? No. Except for flu, most of these shots are not annual vaccines, per the CDC. For example, the Tdap is generally a booster every 10 years. A number of the others are only for those whose doctor recommends them. Some are taken in a series.

And that’s where your doctor comes in. Before you line up for any shot, ask your doctor what you should get. Or have it done at the doctor’s office so it’s noted in your records.

And remember that it takes two weeks for a flu shot to start working.

For Any and All Distribution Needs or Questions Please Call (251) 229-4519 • October 10, 2012 Bobby Dodd Stadium at Georgia Tech’s Grant Field. It is the oldest continuously-used on-campus college football site in the FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision, formerly Division I-A). The game has been played at the downtown Atlanta site since 1905. The stadium was the site of the most lopsided game in football history.

Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland College 222-0 in 1916!

• A west coast college football venue listed on the National Historic Landmark, but not as old as Yale or Harvard, is the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Home field for the University of Southern California (USC), this is the only stadium in the world that has hosted the Olympics twice. It has also hosted the Super Bowl and the World Series.

• Another California field, Stanford Stadium, made a lot of history in its 84-year life span. In spite of this, it was decided that the best thing for the school, players and fans was to replace the stadium. A new structure opened in 2006. One of the biggest complaints about the old Stanford Stadium was inadequate restroom facilities. The restrooms were enlarged but overall the new stadium was made smaller. The old stadium, built in 1921, had a seating capacity of 86,000, and held as many as 94,000. The new stadium is built for a crowd of 50,000.

• Of the big events held at the old Stanford stadium, two standouts were: when Herbert Hoover, a Stanford grad and former football manager, accepted the Republican nomination for president in 1928; and a track meet between the U.S. and the USSR (Soviet Union) in 1962, during the “Cold War,” when political tensions were high. The attendance over two days was 153,000 to watch the friendly competition.

• American football has a history dating back to the late 1800s, emerging from the European game of rugby.

Player and coach at Yale University, Walter Camp, is the “Father of American Football,” recognized for instituting the early rules of the game.

• “ The Birthplace of Intercollegiate Football,” Rutgers University in New Jersey, held the first inter-collegiate football game in 1869. Rutgers defeated Princeton by two goals. Those players didn’t play in a stadium, but on a field on College Avenue in New Brunswick with a few fans there to see what the game was about. Today, Rutgers has a beautiful stadium that seats 52,454 fans.

• Today, many stadiums are named after corporate sponsors who provide funds for the rights to advertise themselves. One of those is the Carrier Dome at Syracuse University. Built in 1980, it is the only domed stadium in the Northeast. Even though named for Carrier, an air conditioning company, the dome isn’t air conditioned!

• The air is thinner (less oxygen) in higher elevations and breathing can be difficult in high energy contests like football. War Memorial Stadium at the University of Wyoming has the highest elevation of any Division

I university at 7,770 feet (M?). Western State College in Gunnison, Colorado is even higher with an elevation of 7750 feet. (M?) Falcon Stadium, the home field for the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, another high elevation stadium, at 6621 feet (2018 m) above sea level, is flying high.

• The United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, has a unique tradition for its games: a skydiver lands on the field at Michie Stadium holding the football to start the games.

• Many college and university teams have other traditions observed in their home stadiums. Some involve songs music, some a motto, and many involve mascots.

• When the Tennessee Volunteers and their 100,000 or so fans sing “Rocky Top” in Neyland Stadium, it is a chorus that you will hear in your sleep for a few nights afterward!

• “ Take Me Home, Country Roads,” a song recorded by John Denver in 1971 has been the theme song for West Virginia University since 1972. Denver sang the song at the opening of the “new” Mountaineer Field in 1980.

The words and music were written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and Denver, and at the time none of the trio had actually been to the state.

• A stadium that has received more attention in recent years for its high level college playing is known for having the only blue turf in football. Boise State’s Bronco Field’s turf is also called the “smurf turf” for the cartoon Smurfs.

• Aloha Stadium, the home stadium for the University of Hawaii, is owned by the state of Hawaii, and hosts many events other than football.

The Aloha Stadium Swapmeet & Marketplace, held every week on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays should be on every visitor’s itinerary.

• Many people refer to the “big house” as prison or jail. However, in football “The Big House” is the largest stadium in the country, home of University of Michigan football, with a capacity of 109,901. One of the “big” stories about this stadium is that when it was under construction in 1926, an underground spring and moist, quicksand-like soil swallowed a crane!

It is still there, under the stadium!

Freeze-Ahead Fresh Apple Pie Filling It’s apple season! That means it’s time to make your way to a local apple orchard and harvest your own. Many orchards are jam-packed with additional things to do in the crisp fall air, such as hay rides, corn mazes and walking trails. You’ll be tempted with a never-ending array of treats, from apple cider to doughnuts and caramel apples. But no trip is complete without the experience of picking apples fresh off the tree with your kids and bringing them home to enjoy for snacking, applesauce-making and our family favorite, apple-pie baking.

One year, when we came home with an extra basketful, I thought about how great it would be to preserve that fresh taste of our favorite local apples and enjoy them in a warm apple pie come wintertime.

That’s when a friend reminded me of her novel idea of freezing fresh apple pie filling in the shape of a pie pan. A few months later, when chilly, snowy days were upon us and the family longed for the taste of fall, the frozen filling was placed in a pie shell and baked.

While you peel, core and slice apples for a pie or crisp this week, prepare some extras and freeze them. You’ll be glad you did.

Here’s how to make ahead and freeze apple filling for a two-crust pie: 1. Set a 22-inch sheet of wide aluminum foil over the pie pan you will use for baking. Mold it in the pan at the center point of the foil. Set a 22-inch long piece of plastic wrap over the foil.

2. Peel, core and thinly slice 6 cups tart apples, and place them in a bowl. Toss with 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Stir in a mixture of 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

3. Pour apple mixture onto the plastic wrap in pie pan.

Press firmly and form a rounded top. Bring edges of plastic wrap together to seal. Repeat with foil. Freeze overnight.

4. Remove pie plate and set frozen pie-shaped apple filling “package” in a plastic freezer bag. Freeze up to four months.

5. To bake apple pie, preheat oven to 375 F. Set unwrapped frozen apple filling in a 9-inch pastry-lined pan. Do not let it thaw. Dot with 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. Place top crust over filling. Cut slits to vent, then seal and flute. Set on a foil-lined baking sheet. Allow 20-30 extra minutes of baking time, or until filling is bubbling through the slits.

Tip: Cover loosely with foil if crust gets too brown before the filling bubbles.

DIXIE DENTAL CENTER

The Affordable One-Day Denture Service on the Gulf Coast Dentures and Extractions in One Day!

PTSD Getaways If you have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), organizations around the country have created camps and retreats just for you. In many cases, your family is invited, too.

Here are a few examples: --In Washington state, Project New Hope Washington (www.projectnewhopewa.org) has a camp-style weekend retreat run by Lions Clubs volunteers.

Professional counselors are on hand, and recreation activities are provided that help with coping techniques. The goal is to facilitate re-integration back into the family and community. This camp is free, including meals and accommodations.

--In New Mexico, there are National Veterans Wellness and Healing Center retreats run by the Department of Veterans Services. You must have a diagnosis of PTSD from the Department of Veterans Affairs to attend these are seven-day retreats, which are for individuals and couples (www.dvs.state. nm.us/wellness_retreats.html or call 575-595-1971).

--The Kieve Veterans Camp on the coast of Maine has two mid-winter camps as well as during summer.

In January 2013, there is a women-only camp. The family camp runs in April. (The Vietnam Only camp session in December is already full.) Depending on the season, activities can include fishing, canoeing, hiking, sledding, outdoor games, yoga, pottery, ropes course, climbing, ice-fishing, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, massage, arts and crafts, woodworking and fireside chats. To apply online, go to kieve.org/veterans and click Application, or call 207-563-5172. (Be sure to ask when you call: It appears that a diagnosis of PTSD isn’t necessary.)

To find a camp in your area, go online and Google “veterans retreats PTSD.” Then try it again with your state listed.

If you’re interested in exploring what a camp or retreat can do for you, contact the camps and ask about services they offer. Don’t wait until the last minute.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You might feel compelled to get involved on the “right side” of a seemingly unfair fight.

But appearances can be deceptive. Get the facts before going forth into the fray.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Bullying others into agreeing with your position could cause resentment. Instead, persuade them to join you by making your case on a logical point-bypoint basis.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Resist pushing for a workplace decision you might feel is long overdue. Your impatience could backfire. Meanwhile, focus on that still-unsettled personal situation.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Your aspects favor doing something different. You might decide to redecorate your home, or take a trip somewhere you’ve never been, or even change your hairstyle.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) You might want to take a break from your busy schedule to restore your energy levels. Use this less-hectic time to also reassess your plans and make needed changes.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) What you like to think of as determination might be seen by others as nothing more than stubbornness. Try to be more flexible if you hope to get things resolved.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Watch that you don’t unwittingly reveal work-related information to the wrong person. Best to say nothing until you get official clearance to open up.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) With things settling down at work or at home, you can now take on a new challenge without fear of distraction. Be open to helpful suggestions from colleagues.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your creativity can help resolve an emotional situation that might otherwise get out of hand. Continue to be your usual caring, sensitive self.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You could impress a lot of influential people with the way you untangle a few knotty problems. Meanwhile, a colleague is set to share some welcome news.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Aspects favor recharging your social life and meeting new people. It’s also a good time to renew friendships that might be stagnating due to neglect on both sides.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Congratulations. Your talent for working out a highly technical problem earns you well-deserved praise. The weekend could bring news about a friend or relative.

BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of justice makes you a strong advocate for the rights of people and animals alike.

Guaranteed Basic Golf Swing Tips To Improve Your Game!

By Dean Caporella

I can remember the first time I ventured out onto a golf course and tried to hit the cover off the ball on the first tee.

My memory of that inauspicious debut was a skewed shot, which disappeared into the bushes to the right and became just another lost ball statistic. My basic golf swing technique for starters was crappy but more importantly, I didn’t really understand the mechanics of the golf swing. The end result of that very first game was a large triple figure score and about fifteen golf balls, which never saw the light of day again. Oh, I can laugh about it now but if you want to know what epitomized embarrassment I’m here to tell you it was yours truly on that fateful day. Can you as a novice draw similar comparisons? Well, if you haven’t mastered the basic golf swing yet and you plan on improving your driving; chipping and putting then read the rest of this article. Physics And The Basic Golf Swing Before you can even think about using brute strength in you swing you need to understand golf isn’t really a game about power.

It’s more timing and that’s why it’s a good idea to examine your clubs closely. Notice how each one is designed just a little differently than the other. The three iron has a flatter blade than the nine iron. The three iron is designed for hitting the ball longer distances while the nine iron is designed for more up and under. Getting into the habit of using the appropriate club for the appropriate play will get you forming good basic golf swing habits. It’s a similar story with the driving woods. In most cases, you’ll have a selection to choose from. I have four and my favorite is the fairway wood. It’s designed to be used as the follow up to the tee shot on a long-range hole and used correctly, is very effective in getting a clean, crisp shot away without forcing the shot with unnecessary power. Golf Exercise Believe it or not, one of the keys to maintaining a good basic golf swing is fitness, or being golf fit if you like. Identifying your golfing muscles is important and if you are not sure, ask an experienced golfer. No, it doesn’t mean you need to spend five days in a gym building up to Mr. Universe levels. Simple golf stretch exercises; some involving use of a club and others just basic body stretches. You’ll be surprised how effective muscle conditioning will help your basic golf swing movement. Enlisting the services of a short-term coach is a great way to learn the basic skills.

It’s like building a house; get the foundation right and you have something to build on. A coach will quickly pin point your problem areas and address them quickly. Ask at your favorite clubhouse the next time you’re there. The basic golf swing in many ways is like a player’s “holy grail.”

Once it’s mastered, you can then plan for bigger and better things, including the odd power drive off the tee!

Thermal Acoustic Pest Control Insulation

“T•A•P saves money! When added to existing insulation or installed on its own, T•A•P reduces the required energy needed to heat or cool your home and, in turn, reduces your heating and cooling bills.

T•A•P reduces noise! T•A•P reduces unwelcome noise from outside and helps create a peaceful environment inside the home.

T•A•P controls pests! In addition to conserving energy and reducing unwanted sound, T•A•P also responsibly eliminates many common household pests.

T•A•P is Green! With so many products claiming to be “green” these days, it is often difficult to discern which products truly are environmentally responsible. When viewed in the context of the entire product life-cycle (from production to operation to disposal), cellulose insulation is one of the greenest building products in the world.

Cellulose insulation takes less energy to make than other insulation products, is made from 80%+ recycled paper, reduces a home’s carbon footprint by saving energy, and provides no post-installation waste.

T•A•P is the only product labeled by EPA to control insects that also bears an Energy Star label!

T•A•P Pest Control Insulation is one the best performing insulations on the market. T•A•P outperforms traditional fiberglass insulation by 32% and, as a denser, loose-fill insulation, T•A•P fills in all of the nooks and crannies traditional insulation rolls do not. The science tells the story, but simply put, T•A•P just works better.

Not only does cellulose insulation outperform other insulation from a thermal and acoustical standpoint, it takes less energy to make it! Only T•A•P Pest Control Insulation, however, gives you the triple benefit of 32% greater efficiency when compared to traditional insulation, superior acoustical benefits, and the added value of pest control!

T•A•P Pest Control Insulation is made principally from recycled paper that is diverted from landfills. The paper is reduced in size and then fed through a disc-mill, whose exceedingly fine tolerances explode the fibers into a soft, gray, cotton-boll-like substance. The product is infused with borates through a proprietary process. The result is a thermally and acoustically superior insulation product that is environmentally sensitive and also helps control pests!

T•A•P is a “loose-fill” insulation, so it is installed by blowing the product into attics on top of existing insulation (it can also be installed in attics and walls of new homes) with specialized machines. While reducing your energy bills by keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer, T•A•P also controls common household pests that nest in attics and walls like roaches, ants, termites, spiders and silverfish. T•A•P therefore provides a long-term, preventative approach to reducing energy consumption while protecting your home from many common household insects that come in contact with the insulation.”

T•A•P is an EPA labeled pesticide and must be installed by a licensed Pest Control Operator. Household Termite & Pest Control has all the equipment and knowledge to perform the installation. Segment 1 of 3.
