August 24 has been named Vesuvius Day, making this week a good time to take a closer look at this famous volcano and a few other notable ones. Follow along as Tidbits brings you these explosive facts.

• Mount Vesuvius is mainland Europe’s only active volcano, the only one to have erupted within the last 100 years. (The island of Sicily is home to Mount Etna, which is Europe’s most active volcano, having experienced a series of eruptions since 2001.)

thru 8-10

• Vesuvius is a strato volcano, because it has explosive eruptions as well as pyroclastic flows. This means it emits a fast-moving current of hot gas and rock that can reach a speed of up to 450 mph (700 km/hr) and reach a temperature of 1,830 degrees F (1,000 C). Vesuvius was formed from the collision of two tectonic plates. Volcanoes are usually found where plates are either moving away from each other or colliding. • The most lava ever recorded from an eruption from Vesuvius was in 1906. Italy was preparing for the 1908 Summer Olympics when the disaster occurred, causing extensive damage to the city of Naples and killing more than 100 people. Because Italy did not have the funds to rebuild Naples, the Olympics were switched to London. turn the page for more!

MOUNT VESUVIUS (continued): • Most folks know that Mount Vesuvius destroyed the city of Pompeii in 79 A.D., with a death toll estimated at 16,000. The cloud of volcanic ash reached heights of 20.5 miles (33 km) and a flow of molten rock and pumice at a rate of 1.5 million tons per second The rapidly-falling ash made it difficult to breathe with millions of tons quickly burying the city, resulting in a well-preserved scene of the ancient city’s life. Strangely enough, pockets of air within the ash hardened around the victims, enabling excavators to pour plaster into the openings forming a mold for the remains. The ruins were discovered in 1748 by a surveying engineer during the digging of a water line. Excavation on the ruins began, with archaeologists finding loaves of bread and jars of fruit preserves still intact. The project has continued for more than 260 years, the longest continually excavated site in the world. • About 250 years into the excavation of Pompeii, nearly 1,050 casts had been created from impressions of bodies found in the ash. It’s believed that nearly one-third of the city still lies buried. In 1980, 300 more bodies were found in nearby Herculaneum. • One eyewitness account survived from the 79 A.D. eruption of Vesuvius, that of Pliny the Younger, who observed the tragedy from across the Bay of Naples. Pliny, a Roman statesman, documented the details of the death of his uncle, who was attempting to rescue people during the early stages of the eruption. Pliny later interviewed survivors and recorded the information in letters to his historian friend. Those who study volcanoes use the term “Plinian” to refer to large volcanic eruptions in which streams of gas and ash are violently sent to a height of several miles.

Guns • Silencers Ammo & Accessories Owners Kelsey & Tessie Henry Can Cat and Parrots Survive Car Trip?

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have a cat and two budgies, and I am moving several states away. I plan to drive and bring all three with me. I’m worried that “Tiger” will stress out the budgies, though. Can I keep the peace between these pets? -- A Reader, via email DEAR READER: One way, maybe the best way, to travel with pets of different species is to keep them out of sight of one another, and under control. Tiger should be placed in a carrier with a favorite blanket and toys to keep him occupied. The birds should stay in their cage (or if necessary, a smaller travel cage). The change of location and the car’s motion could be stressors as well, so minimize their exposure by covering the cage while you’re driving.

And do not leave your pets alone in the car, even for a few minutes, and even if the weather seems cool. I know I’ve repeated this advice all summer, but I see incidents several times per week on the news, so many owners still don’t realize the danger. The temperature in a hot car can rise very quickly, even with the windows opened a bit. So plan your trip carefully. At each rest stop, take the birds’ cage outside and uncover it in a shady area so they can get some fresh air. Take Tiger’s carrier out, or if he’s a well-behaved cat, put him on a leash (while he’s still in the car so he doesn’t escape) and let him explore a safe, shady area. If Tiger is a terror in the car -- yowling or otherwise being stressed -- talk to his vet beforehand about medicating him to keep him calm during the journey.

Welcome to Goose Tips! Ice Cream Bread. Yes, you heard me correctly---

ICE CREAM BREAD

All is right in the world. Ice cream and self rising flour have made beautiful food love and made delicious babies. Perfectly soft bread babies. Seriously, you MUST stop what you are doing right now and make this. I used Butter Pecan Ice Cream because that’s my fav, but you can use whatever flavor you want. This recipe makes one 8 x 4 loaf. You need: 2 cups Ice Cream, softened 1 1/2 cups Self-Rising Flour Preheat your oven to 350. Spray and flour a 8x4 loaf pan. In a medium bowl mix the ice cream and flour together until just combined. Scoop into the loaf pan and smooth out. Bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the loaf comes out with a few crumbs stuck to it. Remove from pan and allow to cool (if you can wait that long)! When you decide to dine out, gather around our table at the goose! Thanks to you we are celebrating 5 years, now serving beer and wine and wild game every Friday. The Wounded Goose, we have a lot of competition, but our food doesn’t! ---Kat Brabham, owner 740-388-0565

MOUNT VESUVIUS (continued): • There have been many eruptions since the annihilation of Pompeii, at least once every century, although none has been as large as the 79 A.D. eruption. Vesuvius erupted at least six times in the 12th and 18th centuries, and eight times during the 1800s. The 20th century experienced three eruptions with the most recent in 1944, when a two-weeklong eruption occurred. American airmen were stationed at the Pompeii Airfield during World War II, a few miles from the base of the volcano, and fled when the eruption began, leaving behind 88 aircraft, all of which were a total loss. Twelve lives were lost as a result of this eruption.

Tommy Tidbits Contest

• Today the slopes of Vesuvius are covered with heavy vegetation and shrubs, and vineyards have been planted. Although its current activity seems to produce nothing but occasional steam from vents at the bottom of the crater, geologists who study the mountain maintain that it is a very dangerous volcano that will erupt again. Because it is the most densely-populated volcanic region in the world, with more than 3 million people living within 20 miles of the crater, an eruption today will be much more devastating than previous ones. While the 79 A.D. eruption destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum, many cities would now be buried, including Naples, which is Europe’s 9th most populated urban area and Italy’s 4th largest urban economy.

This is similar To Tommy’s acTual size you Will Be searching For in The ads!

• In 1995, the Italian government officially declared the area around the volcano a national park, thereby prohibiting further building in an attempt to reduce the population in the danger zone. They have demolished illegally constructed buildings and even offered financial incentives to citizens for moving away.

• On Aug. 13, 1948, U.S. and British planes airlift a record amount of supplies into sections of Berlin under American and British control. Despite terrible weather, crowded airspace and exhaustion of the pilots and crews, more than 700 British and American planes brought in nearly 5,000 tons of supplies. • On Aug. 12, 1953, less than a year after the United States tested its first hydrogen bomb, the Soviets detonate a 400-kiloton device in Kazakhstan. Known as the “Layer Cake,” the bomb was fueled by layers of uranium and lithium deuteride, a hydrogen isotope. • On Aug. 15, 1969, the Woodstock Music Festival opens on a patch of farmland in White Lake, New York. By the time the gates opened, more than 400,000 people were clamoring to get in. Those without tickets simply walked through gaps in the fences, and the organizers were eventually forced to make the event free of charge. • On Aug. 11, 1973, “American Graffiti,” a nostalgic coming-of-age tale steeped in the car-centric culture of suburban California, is released in theaters. The film went on to become a sleeper hit. • On Aug. 14, 1985, Michael Jackson purchases the publishing rights to the vast majority of the Beatles’ catalog for $47 million, outbidding even Paul McCartney. In later years, the catalog -- now estimated to be worth in excess of $1 billion -- allowed Jackson to remain solvent by serving as collateral for several enormous personal loans.

• It was ancient Greek philosopher Plato who made the following sage observation: “Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws.” • How would you like to brush your teeth with salt, chalk or ground brick? The first tooth powders that were used with toothbrushes were made of just such materials. • When you think of hibernating bears, you typically imagine some cozy cave in the woods, right? Well, the next time you’re out for a winter hike, you’d better pay close attention to exactly where you’re going; some bears spend the cold season curled up on the ground in large nests made of branches. • Greyhounds have better vision than any other breed of dog. • Every May, horse lovers flock to Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, to see the world’s finest thoroughbreds race in the Kentucky Derby. While there, spectators will collectively consume more than 1,800 gallons of mint juleps. • If you’re a cat lover, you might not be surprised to learn that a group of felines can be referred to as a glaring, a pounce, a clutter or a clowder. Feral cats en masses are known as a destruction of cats. • People who sustain brain injuries can suffer from a variety of maladies. One of the stranger ones is anosognosia. The victim suffers from some sort of disability, such as losing the ability to move a limb, but that’s not unusual; what makes anosognosia so fascinating is that the person suffering from the limitation seems completely unable to believe that any limitation exists, despite voluminous evidence to the contrary.

For Advertising Call (740) 446-4543 MOUNT VESUVIUS (continued): • Tourists are allowed access by road to 660 feet (200 m) of Vesuvius’ summit, and a spiral walkway continues around the mountain from there to the crater. • Scientists consider a volcano to be active if it has erupted within the last 10,000 years. There are about 1,500 worldwide that meet this criteria, with most along the Pacific Ring of Fire. About 50 erupt each year. More than 160 volcanoes in the United States fit in the active category, the majority of those in the Cascade Range, stretching from southern British Columbia to northern California. • Indonesia has 130 active volcanoes, including Mount Tambora, responsible for the most violent eruption in recorded history, In 1815, Tambora’s eruption resulted in an estimated 71,000 deaths in an explosion heard more than 1,200 miles (2,000 km) away. It produced such climate-changing effects that 1816 was known as “the year without a summer.” Indonesia’s Mt. Krakatoa erupted in 1883, killing 36,000 and destroying two-thirds of the island. It has erupted as recently as 2008. • Geologists consider Mt. Rainier “potentially the most dangerous” mainland U.S. volcano, with 3.2 million people living in its vicinity, although it hasn’t erupted since the 1840s. Also within the Cascade Range, Mt. St. Helen’s 1980 eruption was one of the U.S.’s worst, killing 57. It reawakened in 2004 with four explosions sending steam and ash 10,000 feet (3048 m) above its crater. • There are five active volcanoes in Hawaii. Kilauea is one of the world’s most frequently active volcanoes, having erupted 62 times in 245 years. It has been erupting continuously since 1983. Mauna Loa has erupted 15 times 1900, most recently in 1984. 1. Name the major-league team with the longest playoff drought entering the 2014 season. 2.

FAMOUS CANADIANS: DONALD SUTHERLAND We’ve seen him as an alien hunter, a Civil War General, astronaut, a reverend, villain, and loving father. Let’s examine the 50+-year career of famous Canadian Donald Sutherland. • Born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Sutherland was a sickly child, struggling with rheumatic fever, hepatitis, and polio myelitis. He spent many of his younger years in Nova Scotia, with his first part-time job there as a radio announcer at age 14. While in high school, Sutherland appeared in a few stage productions, carrying this interest on at the University of Toronto. He graduated with a double major, engineering and drama, with intentions of a career as an engineer, however, changed his mind and headed for London in 1957 to attend that city’s Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. • Sutherland had his first role in a 1963 British film, and after several other small parts, he landed a major role in 1967. After another actor had dropped out of the filming of The Dirty Dozen, Sutherland was offered the part in the popular film which was the fifth highest grossing film of the year. Two years later, he was once again a soldier in both the smash hit M*A*S*H* (as Hawkeye Pierce) and Kelly’s Heroes, along with Clint Eastwood. His career received another boost in 1971 with his role as a private detective opposite Jane Fonda in Klute, and as a grieving father in the Oscarwinning Ordinary People in 1980.

Answer on Page 8

• Sutherland made an error in judgment in 1978 when picked to star as Professor Dave Jennings in National Lampoon’s Animal House. He was offered the choice of a salary of $40,000 up front or a percentage of the film’s income. Because he doubted the success factor of the movie, he chose the $40,000, and Animal House went on to gross $141,600,000.

Butter Molds Q: At a farm auction several years ago, I bought three butter molds that were obviously quite old. Each has a pattern, with the most elaborate depicting a cluster of roses. Are these collectible? -Emporia, Va. A: It was during the reign of Charles II in Britain that decorating butter became popular. In America, this practice thrived due in no small part to farm wives who marked the homemade butter they sold so it would be readily identified as their product. No two farms used the same mold in the same county or area. The more detailed the pattern of a mold, the more expensive it can be. For example, a rare Amish hexagon mold with intricate pattern of acorns and oak leaves recently sold for $650 at auction. Most, however, sell in the $50 to $75 range. Q: When my dad returned from World War II, one of the ﬁrst things he bought me was a card game set called “Mickey Mouse Library of Games.” I still have the set, and even though no amount of money would tempt me to sell it, I nevertheless wonder about its current value. -- Tom, Las Vegas A: I checked several price guides, and they

seem to agree that your set is worth in the $75 to $200 range, depending of course, on condition. Your set of six card games included “Donald Duck,” “Pinocchio,” “Mickey Mouse,” “Bambi,” “The Three Little Pigs” and “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” It was issued in 1946 and should have the game, holder and instructions for each game. Q: I have a compote dish that I’ve been told was crafted by the Paden City Glass Company during the 1920s. Although I have searched, I can’t ﬁnd anything about the glass or the company that made it. -- Lucy, Las Cruces, N.M. A: The Paden Glass Company was established in Paden City, W.Va., in about 1916. During the 1920s, the company expanded to include crystal and opaque glass in a variety of patterns and styles. I think your compote probably was made during this period. In 1949, the company operated under new management and production was eventually automated to reduce costs. The factory closed permanently in 1951. Write to Larry Cox in care of KFWS, P.O.

DONALD SUTHERLAND (continued): • A stream of steady roles has continued for decades for Sutherland, including Cold Mountain, Pride & Prejudice, and The Italian Job. Although he is nearing 80, his popularity remains, as evidenced most recently by his appearance in The Hunger Games films as President Snow. • Sutherland has frequently been cast in the role of a villain. At one point, when being considered for a great role, he was told by the producers, “Sorry, you’re the best actor, but this part calls for a guy-next-door type. You don’t look as if you’ve ever lived next door to anyone.” • Sutherland has paid tribute to his favorite directors by naming his sons after them. Kiefer is named after Warren Kiefer who directed Sutherland in his first feature film. His son Roeg takes his name from director Nicolas Roeg, while Rossif is named after French director Frederic Rossif. The middle name of Sutherland’s son Angus is Redford after Robert Redford. • Although he has had more than 150 roles in various productions over 50 years, Sutherland has never received an Oscar. He has won an Emmy, Golden Globes, and stars on both the Hollywood and Canadian Walks of Fame. • Sutherland has remained a Canadian citizen and maintains a home in Quebec. He was one of the flagbearers at the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. He is an officer in the Order of Canada, Canada’s highest civilian honor.

August 10 is the date set aside to honor Paul Bunyan, the lumberjack of legend. Is this giant fact or fiction? We’ll probably never know!

For QUALITY SERVICE at an AFFORDABLE PRICE, LET MIKE DO IT RIGHT!!! 740-245-0006 164 St Rt 325 S, Rio Grande, OH

• Several places have laid claim as the birthplace of Paul Bunyan, including Michigan, Maine, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and St. Eustache, Canada. Some tales are entirely imaginary, such as the myth that it took five storks to bring Bunyan to the world, and that he was nearly 8 feet tall (2.4 m) with a stride of 7 feet (2.1 m). One of the more logical tales tells of the role of lumberjacks in Canada’s 1837 Papineau Rebellion. When French Canadians in the St. Lawrence River region rebelled against their new ruler, the Queen of England, many loggers armed with axes stepped up to battle English troops. A tall bearded bellowing man was among the loggers became famous for his part in the battle. • Tales of Bunyan’s heroics were told around loggers’ campfires for years to come, each one being embellished a bit more. By the 1880s, there wasn’t a logging camp that didn’t know the story of the giant. In 1910, writer James MacGillvray, who had worked in a Michigan camp, put the accounts on paper in the Detroit News Tribune. In 1914, the Red River Lumber Company of Minneapolis used the image of a giant lumberjack and created a colossal blue ox as his companion in an advertising pamphlet. Over 100,000 of the brochures were distributed and Bunyan’s popularity grew. A 1924 collection of tales by Esther Shephard and another anthology the following year by James Stevens fueled the fire of the legend. Famed poet Carl Sandburg wrote that Bunyan lived “around the hot stoves of winter, among socks and mittens drying, in the smell of tobacco smoke and the roar of laughter mocking the outside weather.”

PAUL BUNYAN (continued): • According to folklore, Bunyan formed the Great Lakes out of a need for a large enough watering hole for Babe the Blue Ox to drink from. He supposedly cleared North Dakota of its forests and Minnesota’s 10,000 lakes were reportedly formed by his and Babe’s footprints as they stumbled through a huge blizzard. When he called his fellow loggers to dinner in the camp, he did so by blowing through a hollow tree or bellowing loudly enough to cause limbs to fall from trees. His monumental logging camp was on the fictional Big Onion River. • There are more than 200 roadside statues of Paul Bunyan across the United States and Canada, from California to Oregon to British Columbia to Idaho, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and New York. Perhaps the tallest is in Klamath, California, towering 49 feet (15 m) above that town’s Trees of Mystery attraction. A 35-ft.tall (10.7 m) Babe stands beside him. • Oscoda, Michigan, has declared itself Bunyan’s official home because James MacGillivray’s early documents came from there. But they need to get in line behind Bemidji, Minnesota, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and Bangor, Maine. • The state of Maine claims it has a birth certificate. Hackensack, Minnesota maintains that Bunyan’s sweetheart Lucette hails from that community and they have constructed a statue of her and their son, Paul, Jr. in a downtown park. Two places contend they are home to Bunyan’s grave – Kelliher, Minnesota, and Wausau, Wisconsin.

By Keith Roach, M. D, DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 69. Two years ago, I had a heart attack followed by double bypass surgery; two vessels on the back of my heart were blocked. I had no symptoms. My doctor, family, friends and I were stunned. I was too healthy to have been struck by a heart attack. I was at risk due to my male family members having heart issues. My father died of his third heart attack at age 60. I followed a heart-healthy lifestyle: low body fat, healthy weight, no smoking, no drinking, no red meat, lots of exercise indoors and out. My cholesterol readings had always been in the good range. I am now on simvastatin and losartan daily. I regularly take my blood pressure readings. Since my heart attack and my surgery, I have followed the therapy lifestyle diet in an American Heart Association publication. A year after my heart attack and surgery, I had a treadmill stress test, and all was well. I see my cardiologist every six months and my primary doctor quarterly.

BENNETT’S HEATING & COOLING

What preys on my mind the most is whether or not plaque is building up in any of my blood vessels, leading to a killer heart attack. I wish there was a noninvasive means to at least annually determine the health of my blood vessels. I do not want to wait for symptoms to occur. I want early detection to prevent another heart attack. -- M.S. ANSWER: Your letter underscores that heart disease can happen even when you do everything right, that a family history is a significant risk factor and that heart attacks happen even in people with good blood cholesterol. Your question is about a screening test for heart disease, to see whether there are blockages that need treatment before any symptoms develop. There are two kinds of tests: those that look at the anatomy of the heart, such as an angiogram or CT angiogram, and those that look at its function, such as a stress test. The problem with pictures of the blood vessels is that it’s likely you have some blockages. However, small blockages actually may be more likely to cause a heart attack than big ones, since the smaller ones can rupture and cause a blood clot, which starts the heart attack. A stress test,

such as the treadmill ECHO you did, is better at showing if the heart is getting all the blood it needs during exercise.

Mystery Illness Killing Vets

Summer Heat, Drought Take Toll on Lawn

Q: Every year I have to deal with brown and dying grass, because the climate we live in gets so hot in the late summer. We also have water restrictions to deal with. How can I keep my lawn healthy? -Bryan in Norcross, Ga. A: Dealing with watering restrictions and drought conditions has become a regular way of life in many Southern states, and it’s especially difficult for homeowners who want a green, lush lawn during a prime time of year for outdoor parties and other activities. Here are a few tips to make things easier on your lawn: • Encourage roots to go deep by watering only once a week. Watering every day or two leads to shallow roots that are much less able to withstand drought. Your Southern lawn needs about an inch of water a week. Here’s how to find out how long to run your sprinklers to get that inch of water: During the next permitted watering time, take five empty tuna or cat food cans and set them on different parts of the lawn. Run the sprinklers for 30 minutes, then record the depth of the water in each can. Add those depths together and divide by five. Then adjust your watering time accordingly. For example, if you average a half inch of water in 30 minutes, you’ll need to water for one hour to get an inch. • Don’t mow stressed-out grass: A newly mowed lawn loses extra water through the cut grass blades. Wait until your lawn greens up again after rain or watering. • Don’t water during the heat of the day; a lot of the water will evaporate before ever reaching the roots. Many communities with water restrictions ban sprinkler use between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. for just that reason. • Aerate older lawns to make it easier for water to get to the roots, instead of puddling or running off. • Raise your lawnmower blades: Only cut the grass by one-third of its total height. Longer grass shades the soil and helps it better handle drought conditions. • Use less fertilizer during hot, dry conditions so that nitrogen levels stay low. Nitrogen encourages growth at a time your lawn needs to conserve its resources. If watering restrictions routinely impact your lawn, you may need to take more drastic steps. Consider replacing or re-seeding with drought-resistant varieties. You also could re-landscape to reduce the size of the lawn, replacing much of it with droughtresistant plants and shrubs. HOME TIP: Some types of lawn grass turn brown during droughts, but will recover once watering conditions normalize. Send your questions or home tips to ask@ thisisahammer.com.

What IS this mysterious illness that’s killing veterans? Story 1: In Kentucky, an Army veteran died in 2013 at the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital. According to his mother’s Facebook page, the death certificate said, “The ultimate etiology of his illness that led to his passing is still unknown.” It seems like doctors would have given this obviously ill veteran special care. As usual, the devil is in the details. On her Facebook page, the mother talks of medical staff forcing her bedridden son to “sign a contract” agreeing to do whatever staff said ... under threat of withholding progressive treatment. She talks of being told he was only “taking up space.” She tells of care meetings being canceled, nurses ignoring emergency alarms, and open, hand-size wounds on his back. He weighed 72 pounds when he died. He left a wife and two young sons. Story 2: In Alabama, a veteran is desperate not to starve to death. After three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, he knew he had PTSD and went to the VA with symptoms that include extreme nausea and vomiting. He eventually lost his job and his fiancee over it. VA doctors couldn’t put a name on his illness. Their solution: Cut a hole in his stomach so he can feed himself Boost milkshakes with a stomach pump as his only nutrition. VA officials then said it’s not their problem, so they wouldn’t pay for his stomach pump or supplies anymore because it’s past the “authorized service period.” Now that the veteran has shrunk from 267 pounds down to 130, they’re going to do some more tests. The VA has a page that describes these unexplained illnesses, saying they’re presumptive for service connection. Undiagnosed illness with abnormal weight loss is listed. Why can’t they figure out what this is? Freddy Groves regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible.

Niacin’s Dark Side We can add one more item to the list of things we thought were good for us ... and now know probably aren’t: niacin, aka vitamin B-3. Many of us with troublesome cholesterol levels have been on statins to reduce the risk of stroke or heart attack. Niacin has been added to our list of go-to drugs for many years because when combined with statins, it is known to reduce bad (LDL) cholesterol and raise the level of the good (HDL) cholesterol. So far, so good. However, new research reported in The New England Journal of Medicine has determined that: 1) statins alone do a good job of preventing strokes and heart attacks, and 2) just because niacin has helped folks achieve better LDL and HDL numbers doesn’t mean that it helps to prevent strokes and heart attacks. Turns out it doesn’t. Even worse, niacin can have its own set of side effects. Some are merely annoying (flushing, which can be offset by pairing niacin with laropiprant), while others are serious (gastrointestinal problems, bleeding, rashes and ulcers). Those in the study who took niacin were 32 percent more likely to be diagnosed with diabetes. One-third of participants dropped out because of problems caused by the niacin. An earlier clinical study was actually stopped when researchers found there was no difference between the niacin and a placebo, and discovered the same side effects. If you’ve been prescribed niacin to go along with your statins for heart-attack or stroke prevention, talk to your doctor about whether you should continue to use it. At the same time, don’t try this on your own! Get medical advice before either starting or stopping therapeutic doses of niacin.

Ditching Cable TV More and more consumers are choosing to stop paying increasing cable TV fees. Your options, as well as the requisite gadgets, have expanded in the past few years. Many TV watchers haven’t cut the cord on cable because it would mean ditching their local stations, especially news and weather. However, network shows have been digital for several years now, and with a digital or HD antenna, you may be able to pull in many of your local stations, such as ABC, CBS and NBC. How many you get will depend where you are in relation to most of the local stations. Let antennaweb.org help you pick an antenna type based on your ZIP code. It shows signal strength in your area and advises, for example, if you’ll need a small multi-directional or a medium directional with a pre-amp, or any other type. The type of antenna you need might run only $30 to 40, a one-time cost. Check Consumer Reports for reviews of HDTV antennas. Check Amazon for reviews by others who’ve made the purchases. To stream movies, you’ll need a gadget (unless you have a streaming-ready TV set) such as a

Roku, Xbox, Wii or PlayStation. If you have an old first-generation Roku that isn’t satisfactory enough to make you cut the cable cord, investigate the newer Rokus. You’ll be surprised at the new on-screen software as well as the device itself. If you’re a movie buff, look to Netflix for streaming (around $7 per month) to your television or computer. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, don’t forget about your free Instant Video streaming of shows and movies (they’ve started showing HBO). The cost is approximately the same as Netflix. Prime has raised its rate to $99, compared to Netflix at $96 per year. Their selections of movies and TV shows vary. Scout the sites to see which you prefer. If you buy merchandise from Amazon Prime, the free postage alone might be a deal maker. (Beware clicking around too quickly on Amazon. Sometimes a free movie changes overnight to a fee movie.) At an average of $16 per month, it might be worth having both of them. If you have bundled services through an Internet provider (phone, cable, Internet), get the costs of the extra services, such as phone and Internet, to see what those will cost by themselves.

Answers By Mick Harper 1. The 1964 Beatles song tells the story of a breakup. It was recorded in 1960 but not released because it didn’t fit the image they had at the time. 2. Born Glyn Geoffrey Ellis, he took his name from Elvis Presley’s drummer, D.J. Fontana. 3. Billy J. Kramer and The Dakotas, in 1964. Kramer had the same manager as the Beatles, Brian Epstein, and recorded some of the Beatles’ songs, including the b-side to this one, “Bad to Me.” 4. “Goats Head Soup,” in 1973. 5. “Games People Play,” by Joe South. The song is likely a reference to a book on transactional analysis (TA) by Eric Berne. The book talks about the games people play in their interactions or transactions, where someone has to win or lose.
