TIDBITS® TRIMS THE TREE IT’S ORNAMENTAL

by Patricia L. Cook

This Tidbits examines ornaments used during the holidays. Some are historical, most beautiful, many breakable, and plenty just fun!

• One of the dictionary definitions for ornamental is: decorative: serving as a decoration and having no practical use.

• Historically it is said that the holiday tradition of decorating Christmas trees started in Germany. The first decorations were simple white candles followed by roses a bit later.

• In 1605, a groundbreaking moment occurred when a tree in Strasbourg, France, a city on the Rhine River near the German border, was brought inside for decorating. It was adorned with paper roses, nuts, wafers, sweets and lighted candles. After this, more trees were brought indoors and making ornaments became a family holiday tradition.

• Much imagination was used to come up with thoughtful and creative decorations, including cookies and painted eggshells. The introduction of tinsel in 1610 was a huge favorite, originally made with pure silver.

• One of the first Christmas trees in England was an

Pre-Order Your Holiday Meal Today!

Glazed Ham with Apricots Yes, ham can be the centerpiece of a healthy holiday meal -- just choose a piece that’s lean (ask for shank), low-sodium and smoked (to reduce fat). Amp up the flavor with apricots and mustardmarmalade glaze.

1 (7-pound) fully cooked bone-in smoked half ham 1 package (6-ounce) dried apricot halves 2 tablespoons whole cloves 1/2 cup orange marmalade or apricot jam 2 tablespoons country-style Dijon mustard with seeds 1. Preheat oven to 325 F. With knife, remove skin and trim all but 1/8 inch fat from ham. Secure apricots with cloves to fat side of ham in rows, leaving some space between apricots. Place ham, fat side up, on rack in large roasting pan (17 by 11 1/2-inches); add 1 cup water. Cover pan tightly with foil. Bake 2 hours.

2. After ham has baked 1 hour and 45 minutes, prepare glaze: In 1-quart saucepan, heat marmalade and mustard to boiling on medium-high. Remove foil from ham and carefully brush with some glaze. Continue to bake ham 30 to 40 minutes longer or until meat thermometer reaches 135 F, brushing with glaze every 15 minutes. Internal temperature of ham will rise 5 to 10 degrees F upon standing. (Some apricots may fall off into pan as you glaze.)

3. Transfer ham to cutting board; cover and let stand 20 minutes for easier slicing. Slice ham and serve with apricots from pan. Serves 16.

Tip: Ham halves are available as butt or shank. The shank half looks more like a classic whole ham because it contains the leg bone. It’s also easier to carve than the butt half, and less fatty. ¥ Each serving: About 240 calories, 7g total fat (2g saturated), 62mg cholesterol, 1,525 mg sodium, 16g total carbs, 0g dietary fiber, 29g protein.

Resolutions Made Easy The New Year is coming, along with all that potential for a fresh start in the form of resolutions. It doesn’t need to be difficult to make changes. All we need to do is start small and decide on what can add positives to our life.

Consider asking your doctor what you can do in the New Year to increase your level of health. The answer might be rather simple, such as, “Get some 3-pound hand weights and strengthen your arms and wrists.” Or, “Add one fruit to your diet each day. Canned is OK.” How easy that would be.

Vow to stay in better touch with friends. Make a list of people who’ve started to drift away from lack of contact and make a call or send a letter to each one. Stay in touch with them

every month.

Learn a new skill. The senior center or recreation department will have classes of all kinds. Pick one, but give it some thought. Choose something you can stick with. Does it have a writing class? A beginning drawing class? Photography?

How about teaching a class and passing along a skill you have?

Do something for others on a regular basis. Schedule two or three days a month when you’ll shelve books at the library, socialize dogs at the animal shelter to give them a better chance of being adopted, answer phones at the food bank or anything else you think is meaningful.

Here’s one suggestion with a tangible benefit: Pick one coin denomination, whether it’s a nickel, dime or quarter, and save it in a jar every time you get one in change. Save the coins all year and reward yourself next December.

Tidbits of Baldwin County Distributed Weekly Issues 50/51 December 19 & 26 of 2012 1840 Royal Family celebration when Queen Victoria included a tree in honor of her German-born husband Prince Albert’s heritage. Being the great influence that she was, many people wanted their own trees!

• Many of the ornaments in the early years of decorating trees were handmade from paper, cloth or even foods, such as cookies. Hand-stitched snowflakes were also very popular.

• Special items that emerged for decorating trees in America were cranberries and popcorn. Early Americans would string the readily available, colorful foods for trimming their trees.

• President Franklin Pierce was the first U.S. president to have a Christmas tree in the White House, in 1856. The first “national” Christmas tree erected was by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913. However, the first “official” tree was not switched on complete with electric lights until President Calvin Coolidge moved the tree to its location near the White House in 1923.

• Up until the 1880s Christmas ornaments were mainly handmade by families and friends and given as gifts. Many were disposed of after a season. The only ornaments sold publicly were hand-cast lead and hand-blown glass German decorations.

• German entrepreneurs saw the possibility of a market developing for mass marketed ornaments in the early1880s.

• Lauscha, Germany became the hub of the glass ornament business and had many glass companies.

For years they had been producing glass articles such as marbles and bottles and soon began creating glass molds for ornaments. Their first ornaments were molds of Christian saints, famous people, children, animals and more. These new ornaments were a huge success and were in demand. Nearly every family in the Lauscha area became involved in the business of making glass Christmas ornaments either in a home-based foundry or local factory • Ornaments became highly prized possessions with the special touches of individual craftsmanship. Germany captured the world market for glass Christmas ornaments for many years.

• Another German city, Dresden, near Lauscha, started its own ornament businesses, different from the glass ornaments of their neighbors. The Dresden artists constructed brightly colored designs of birds, fish and other animals out of pressed and embossed paper. Their treasures were a hit as well; for weddings, birthdays and other occasions in addition to Christmas.

• As the decorations gained popularity in the United States, F.W. Woolworth, an early American mass merchandiser, began importing German glass ornaments in the 1880s. By 1890, he was reportedly

selling approximately $25 million worth of the ornaments!

• When World War I broke out in 1914 many things, including sentiments toward purchases of Christmas ornaments, changed. There was a backlash against all things German. Sales and production of German ornaments slowed, but only for a while.

• Also, Japan started producing ornaments on a huge scale in the 1920s and took a slice out of the ornament market that Germany held. The Japanese specialized in newer and more colorful designs. The Czech Republic also became known for their fancy Christmas ornaments and shipped many to the U.S. • More than 250 million Christmas ornaments were being imported to America by 1935, mostly from Germany, Japan, and the Czech Republic. This was when U.S. businessman and German immigrant, Max Eckhardt, an importer of ornaments, knew that America needed to be producing, not just importing.

• Eckhardt and Bill Thompson of the F.W. Woolworth Company worked together to convince the Corning Glass Company of Corning, New York to enter the ornament market. Corning had been making thousands of light bulbs out of very thin glass using a “ribbon” glassblowing machine. The machine could produce 2,000 bulbs per minute! Eckhardt believed the machine could be altered to produce Christmas ornaments instead of light bulbs.

• Corning began trials with their equipment and employees, making ornaments in various shapes and sizes. Soon, it was clear they had the equipment and abilities for the job. Woolworth’s requested production of over 230,000 glass holiday items for their stores.

In 1939 they began selling the American-made ornaments.

• By 1940, Corning Glass was producing nearly 300,000 decorations per day and shipping them all over the U.S. Corning actually sold most of their ornaments to Shiny Brite, a company owned by Max Eckhardt. Eckhardt’s business was so big, he had four New Jersey locations and his main office and display room in New York City.

• Eckhardt’s Shiny Brite factories continued making glass Christmas balls and decorations throughout World War II. They used innovative solutions when products were rationed. When metal paints and varnish were not available, the company would use lighter paints and cardboard instead of the usual metal tops and heavy paint.

• In the post-war era, Shiny Brite began using vibrant hues and used metal tops again for their ornaments.

They were stamped to show that Shiny Brite ornaments were U.S.- made! The boxes were even marked “American made.” These are valuable collectibles today.

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’ve heard that playing fetch with your dog teaches him bad habits and isn’t effective training. What do you say? -- T.J., via email DEAR T.J.: I heard something like that several years ago, but not from a professional trainer -- from an acquaintance who likely misheard a trainer or misread something. Fetch is both a fun game and a method of dog training.

Of course, one original use for the game of fetch was to teach dogs to retrieve small game. Certain breeds, like retrievers, were bred for this purpose. But most dogs have the instinct to run after a thrown object, though not all like to bring it back.

The greatest benefit of fetch is that it’s a game you and your dog can play together. It can be part of your daily walks or additional playtime.

Here are the basics of fetch: Show your dog the ball or stick.

Bounce the ball or wave the stick to get him excited about it.

Throw the ball or stick a few feet away -- not too far at first. Let the dog run after it. When he picks it up, call him back, giving him copious praise when he brings back the ball or stick.

Keep in mind you’ll probably have to walk out and pick up the ball or stick for awhile until your dog “gets” it. Consider it extra exercise for you. Once your dog understands that he should pick up the ball and bring it back, extend your throwing distance.

Keep the game light, and only play it for as long as your dog is interested.

Looking for a holiday gift that lasts, strikes a chord with the recipient and whose newness doesn’t wear off before the gift wrap lands in the recycle bin? Think travel! Create an adventure in 2012 for your family and meet up at your destination with grandparents and other relatives who share with you the excitement of discovery and making memories together.

Multigenerational travel is on the move. Just ask Wendy Weigel, a seasoned traveler with her own family and vice president of travel services for AAA Minneapolis. “The gift of travel with the extended family is also a gift of family time,” she says. “In this challenging economy, people want value in what they spend and give. The opportunity to play, learn about other cultures and experience closeness with far-flung family members is important. And when the trip is over, the stories live on forever in the minds of the kids.”

To get started, she suggests families talk about their top interests as a group and how they want to spend their time together: Do we want to go rafting? Stay at a condo at a ski resort?Visit a dude ranch?

“When all is put on the table, taking a cruise is currently a top vacation pick for bringing everyone together and providing unfettered family time,”she says.

I discovered the multigenerational trend recently as we sailed away from Port Canaveral, Fla., as a guest on the new Disney Dream to historic Nassau and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay, in the Caribbean. Infused with Disney magic, the nonstop fun offered onboard entertainment for every age.

“The cruise director sets the stage with limitless creative activities, and it’s the families that make the fun,” said Arlene Moore from Kansas, as she toasted her 50th wedding anniversary with her husband, two sons and their families.

“It’s a thrill seeing my grandchildren enjoying themselves with their cousins, aunts, uncles and grandfather. We can do whatever interests us during the day, meet at the theater for an early-evening, Broadway-style performance, then gather around a big table for dinner to share all of our experiences ... oh, and no one has to wash dishes. For me, that’s magic,”she adds.

If the gift of multigenerational travel is stirring in your mind this holiday season, take a look online for opportunities that fit your interests, and visit a professional travel agent to help you coordinate the details.

The Hope Box

Some will chastise me, I imagine, for dealing with this topic during the holidays. But it’s the holidays that make this problem even more poignant: suicide among veterans.

The suicide rate for veterans has been coming down. So say the compilers of the statistics.

However, the number isn’t coming down fast enough. The last semi-reliable number is 18 veterans per day.

The list of treatments and drugs thrown at the problem of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, surely a big cause of suicide, is long. Some veterans have done well with drugs or therapies, and some with combinations of those.

Now there is a new ray of hope -- specifically, the Hope Box. This new tool is being tested at the Department of Veterans Affairs medical center in Portland, Ore. Staff at the medical center are using a smartphone app to collect items meaningful to the veteran as a way to manage suicidal thoughts: photos, videos of loved ones, music, games, phone numbers of help lines and more. The Hope Box has areas on the touch screen labeled Remind me, Distract Me, Relax Me, Inspire Me and Coping Cards.

At this point, only a few dozen veterans have been enrolled in the program, but anyone with a smartphone who needs help can create a similar hope box. Go online and search for the app’s creator, Nigel Bush, and enter its title: Development and Evaluation of a Virtual Hope Box for Reducing Suicidal Ideation. You’ll find a .PDF file full of graphics that show what’s in the Hope Box. Even though your VA medical center might not have the Hope Box program yet, staffers have heard of it and will be able to help set up your smartphone.

If you’ve struggled with PTSD and suicidal thoughts, please try creating a hope box.

Surviving on Thin Air DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Our 37-year-old daughter lives in Denver. She took her younger sister skiing where the altitude was 11,800 feet. Our younger daughter lives in Toronto, where the altitude is 250 feet. She felt discomfort or worse at the higher level.

Is it safe for an unacclimatized person to travel to such an altitude abruptly? How best should one treat altitude sickness? Are there potentially any serious or lasting effects of altitude sickness? -- P and H.M. ANSWER: At high altitudes the pressure of oxygen in the atmosphere drops, so less gets into the blood. Most healthy people can tolerate altitudes of 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) to 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) without difficulty. Older people and people with heart and lung disease might become short of breath at such heights.

An unacclimatized person, trying to function at 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) or more, can run into trouble if the person doesn’t make the ascent slowly. Above 8,000 feet, people should not ascend more than 1,000 feet a day without returning to a lower altitude to sleep. They can continue to go higher if they descend 1,000 feet each night to sleep. They will know they are pushing too fast if a moderate amount of activity leaves them breathless and bushed.

Acute mountain sickness, a formidable illness, occurs to unacclimatized people in the first six to 24 hours at a given height. People become short of breath, dizzy, have a dry cough and are nauseated.

They often have a headache.

High-altitude pulmonary edema, an even more serious illness and an emergency, fills the lungs with fluid. People cough, and the cough’s mucus is pink or bloody. These people have to be taken quickly to a lower altitude, and personnel experienced in the treatment of this condition have to manage definitive treatment.

People who fully recover from either usually don’t have permanent damage. They are vulnerable to a second episode, however.

Your daughter can protect herself on her next visit by slowly ascending and by taking Diamox. It’s a mild diuretic that affords good protection against altitude sickness. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have developed an unquenchable thirst, which makes me drink water all the time. As a result, I have to spend a lot of time in the bathroom urinating. Can a person drink too much water? -- A.C. ANSWER: A person can drink too much water, but that’s a very rare situation. A more likely explanation of what’s happening to you is diabetes.

Excessive thirst, drinking water nonstop to satisfy the thirst and the resulting need to urinate frequently are signs of diabetes. You must see a doctor soon. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Can you get ringworm from eating too much candy? Is there any relationship between not keeping the body clean and ringworm? I have been told that both can cause it. -- Z.C. ANSWER: Neither causes it. Ringworm is a fungal infection. The infection can spring up on the head, the body, the hands or the feet (athlete’s foot). The fungus is picked up from someone else or from inanimate objects like the floor of a shower room.

Answers 1. Eight maids, nine ladies and 10 lords. The song dates back to the 1700s in England, with a possible French origin. In France, it’s eight cows, nine bulls and 10 pigeons.

2. Jimmy Boyd, age 13, in 1952. Unfortunately for Boyd, in his haste to get away from novelty songs, he turned down “Jambalaya,” written by Hank Williams.

3. Willie Nelson wrote the song in 1963, but it was first recorded by Roy Orbison.

4. “Jingle Bell Rock.” The song has been widely used, including in the 1987 film “Lethal Weapon.”

5. “Frosty the Snowman,” first recorded in 1950 by Gene Autry and the Cass County Boys. In 1954, a blackand-white animated three-minute short “Frosty” cartoon was created.

This classic can be found online at YouTube.

¥ When the Titanic sank in 1912, many passengers perished in the frigid waters because no ship came to their aid until the Carpathia arrived more than two hours after the disaster. However, there was another ship nearby as the liner sank: a freighter, the California, was only 10 miles away. The crew even saw emergency flares fired from the liner, but they thought it was part of a celebration rather than a signal of distress. ¥ Although a normal human infant is born with 350 bones, the normal human adult has only 206 bones. *** Thought for the Day: “I’m an excellent housekeeper.

We let the kids make their own books using half sheets of paper, glue and markers. They design frames, etc. After they have several pages done, we tie them together and make a cover of heavy cardstock.

Page 12 Tidbits of Baldwin County Distributed Weekly Issues 50/51 December 19 & 26 of 2012 What’s The Best Golf Ball For Your Game

By: Mike T Pedersen

One thing most golfers don’t look into is what’s the best golf ball for their swing and game? I know this is low on the list, as equipment is for sure above it, but in my opinion, your ball choice should be second for sure.

If you’re a low handicap golfer, you no doubt have a particular golf ball you played, and you’ve chosen it through trial and error. I know that’s what I’ve done.

For the high handicap golfer, price may be the deciding factor, as you may feel it doesn’t matter what ball you play, as long as you can play you’re happy.

Your swing speed is another factor in what ball you should play. For the high swing speeds (above 90mph), you’ll want a 3-piece ball, for swings 85mph and slower you’ll most likely want a 2 piece ball.

Once you’ve decided this, then you’ll want to play a few different balls to see what one you like better. You decision will be based on distance, accuracy and feel around the greens.

For example, a 2 piece ball spins at a lower rate, so the high handicap golfer who hits a slice or hook, it won’t be as pronounced. But, it is a much harder ball, so when you chip and put, it’s like hitting a rock, therefore the reason we call a Topflite ball a “rock flight”.

Some examples of a 2-piece golf ball are: Bridgestone e5, Callaway Big Bertha, Maxfli Noodle, Nike Power Distance.

So the best golf balls are really dependent on your specific golf swing.

With that being said, the low handicap, high swing speed golfer will definitely want a 3, even 4 piece ball that has a softer outer cover for better feel, as well as you’ll get less spin with driver, but more with irons, so they hit the green and hold.

Examples of a 3 or 4 piece ball are: Titleist ProV1, Callaway Tour i(s), Nike ONE, Srixon 20XI S, and many others.

I hope this gives you enough information to make a better decision as to what the best golf ball is for your swing and game.

The only pest control that pays you back! You earn money within the first year by putting money back in your pocket after having tap installed.

Benefits

T•A•P saves money!

When added to existing

insulation or installed on its own, T•A•P helps keep comfortable air in the living area of your home. This 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. Insulated interior walls reduce annoying noises (such as toilets flushing and appliances running) inside a house.

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 postinstallation waste.

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

Testimonial CK - The Villas at Glenlakes I just wanted you to know how very pleased I am with your service.

At the time you quoted my job, new insulation, you advised that I would see a reduction in my power bill.

You were absolutely right. It has indeed been reduced.
