She provided hot meals, hot baths, clean clothing, clean sheets, and freshened-up mattresses. She stayed on at the Cairo stockade as an unpaid, unappointed and unofficial nurse, cleaning up and giving medical care wherever she could. So grateful were the men for all that she was accomplishing on their behalf that they began to affectionately call her “Mother.”

mother took a photo of her baby son. Film plates at that time were slipped into the camera individually, one picture at a time. She dropped the plate off in Strasbourg to be developed, but because the war started, she was never able to retrieve it. Years later in Frankfurt, she bought another film plate to photograph her new baby daughter. When it was developed, she found it was a double exposure, and the picture underneath was that same one taken of her son years earlier. Somehow the film had never been developed -- and the same plate was mistakenly sold to her again as a new one.

 The Baltimore Orioles had a pretty bad season in 1988. After the team lost its first 10 games, Bob Rivers, a deejay at Baltimore radio station WIYY, announced that he would stay on the air until the home team won a game. He kept his word, sleeping only between songs, for 10 days. When the Orioles finally defeated the Chicago White Sox, Rivers played “I’m Free” by The Who, and finally left.

Did you know that the early astomomers who plotted the circle of the sun passing in orbit around the earth, found that the circle passed through the constellation of the Great Bear? The name of the Great Bear was Arktos, which is how the northernmost regions of the Earth near that circle became known as the Arctic. And on that subject, Tidbits thought you might be intrigued by the following tales of some early explorers of the Arctic region. Although their endings are less than happy, we hope you’ll agree that they are certainly interesting.

• Martin Frobisher sailed from England past Greenland in the year 1576 in search of the Northwest Passage. He ran into trouble with some hostile native Eskimos and turned around for home, taking with him samples of ore-bearing rocks he found on the shore.

In England, a chemist pronounced them as containing gold ore.

• Frobisher quickly mounted a second expedition, feeling that gold was more important than the Northwest Passage. He returned and spent the summer of 1577 on Baffin Island, loading three ships with 200 tons of rock.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

How to Tear Down Attitudes of Entitlement

It is strangely ironic that the freedoms and affluence we enjoy in our society are the very things that stand to ruin our children if not addressed early and effectively. ®

The consumer-credit industry is doing all it can to get yourbykids fall for the buy-now, pay-later MarytoHunt lifestyle. If you do nothing to intervene, statistics show that your child is headed for a life that will be severely impacted -- not by credit -- credit is not the problem here -- but by the overwhelming debt it can so easily create.

When the following three characteristics occur at the same time in the heart and mind of a child, they create a kind of “perfect storm” that has all the likelihood of creating a disastrous situation:

1. An attitude of entitlement.

2. Financial ignorance.

3. The glamour and excitement of easy spending and immediate gratification

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

For our debt-proofing purposes, “entitlement” is that demanding attitude that says, “I deserve it now, even if I haven’t earned it or can’t pay for it.” Some call it the “gimmes,” others the “I-wants.” No matter what you call it, this attitude is running rampant, and not only among kids. Entitlement attitudes affect kids and adults alike.

Entitlement is subtle. It creeps into our lives when we compare our lifestyles and possessions to those of the people we admire for one reason or another, and want to be like. It shows up in new parents who throw all caution to the wind when it comes to nursery furnishings and “mandatory”

equipment. It shows up in two-income families who, because they work so hard, feel they deserve to have the latest things. It shows up in adults who feel compelled to conform to society’s relentless ratcheting up of standards.

Entitlement is the core message of marketing and advertising. Look carefully at everything that shows up in your mailbox this week or entices you on the TV screen. The message to “keep up” is

by Freddy Groves relentless. The push for conformity creates attitudes of dissatisfaction -- and entitlement.

At every turn, it seems something or someone is fanning the flames of entitlement in our lives -- and our children’s lives, too.

-- the prey drive, the chase instinct. It’s an urge once based on survival, one passed on from the dog’s early brethren: the wolf.

But times have changed. For the African spotted dog, also known as the painted wolf, the chase is still wrapped up in the kill, or survival. For your dog and my dog, the thing most likely to be killed by the chase is your dog or my dog.

As humans, we are blessed with the ability to connect dots, to weigh possibilities, to foresee consequences. And yet so many of us fail to consider the consequences of our dogs running loose in an increasingly close and crowded world.

It’s thought that hundreds of thousands of dogs are killed on U.S. roads every year. Liberal estimates reach a million. Some of these dogs were strays. Some were even wild. But many were chasing balls tossed by their owners, or taking advantage of an open front door, or freely wandering their neighborhood as they were permitted to do day after day.

We scoop, disinfect and remove you

I’ve known dogs who were permanently poop weekly for only $9.75 maimed by a run-in with a car. I’ve seen dogs hit by cars right before my eyes. One such dog was in an open garage with his owner when a dog on a leash, out for a run with his owner who was on a bicycle, trotted across his sightline. The scene was irresistible to the unleashed dog, and he ran smack into an SUV. The dog’s owner was in shock. The driver was hysterical. The dog was lucky. He survived. The other incidents I’ve witnessed did not turn out so well.

But it’s not just dogs who get hurt in these stories.

When people driving cars see dogs loose in the street, they swerve, they slam on their brakes, they do what they can to avoid hitting the dog. In doing so, they bring injury to themselves and others in the form of traffic accidents and collisions with joggers, cyclists, pedestrians and other animals on sidewalks or in intersections.

There have also been legal cases where a loose dog chased a person into the street, and that person was then hit by a car. It is the owner, not the dog, who is sued -- and possibly charged -- in those instances. For most of us, being the cause of the death of a person is a huge burden to shoulder, regardless of whether the offense is determined punishable by law.

And being the cause of the death of your

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

The Government Isn’t Forcing You to Take Medicare Q:

Why does the government force me to take Medicare? I have been getting Social Security for a couple years. I will be 65 next month and just got a “Medicare Enrollment Package” in the mail. I don’t need Medicare. I’ve got excellent health insurance from my former employer. Is this part of Obamacare -- forcing folks like me to take Medicare when I don’t need it?

HEARING AID?

Q:

I just learned that I will be required to pay $146.90 for Medicare this year when all of my friends are paying $104.90. This isn’t fair!

A: Do you want the good news or the bad news?

The good news is that you must be richer than all your friends. The bad news is that rich people pay more for Medicare.

Most people don’t know this, but the Medicare Part B premium ($104.90 for most people) pays only 25 percent of the cost of running that part of the Medicare program. The taxpayers pick up the other 75 percent. A while back, Congress said that was too much of a burden on working Americans.

They originally wanted to raise the premiums on all

Medicare beneficiaries, but ended up only doing so on wealthier people. So now, the richer you are, the more you pay for Medicare Part B. Just be glad you’re not among the super rich. They pay $335.70 per month for their Medicare coverage!

If you want to learn more about this, here is a link to a government fact sheet that explains these rules: www.socialsecurity.gov/pubs/10536.html.

do so via Medicare?

If you make the mistake of declining Part B Medicare coverage and then later learn your employer’s insurance required you to take it, you are going to have to go a whole year without full insurance. You won’t be able to sign up for Part B until January of next year -- and you will pay a 10 percent monthly premium penalty for the rest of your life.

So to recap: The government was doing you a favor by automatically enrolling you in Medicare. If you don’t want Part B Medicare, you don’t have to take it. But DO NOT decline Part B until you talk to your employer’s health insurance representative.

There is one other important Medicare enrollment note I must make. It doesn’t apply to you, but it does impact millions of Americans who are turning 65. If you reach that Medicare age and you are not yet getting Social Security benefits, then the ball is in your court, so to speak. You will not be sent a Medicare Enrollment Package. Instead, you must take the initiative and make an appointment to file for Medicare yourself.

And if you are still working and you are covered by your employer’s health insurance, you generally do not need to take Medicare Part B. You should take Part A (because it’s free), but you can save yourself $104.90 per month by declining Part B. Your employer’s insurance will cover you as long as you are working. And when you stop working and lose your employer’s active health insurance coverage, then you can apply for Part B Medicare and you will NOT be charged with the delayed enrollment penalty. These same rules apply if you are 65 and are married to a person who is still working and you are covered by your spouse’s employer’s health insurance. * * *

I’m afraid you’re mixed up on any number of issues. Nobody is forcing you to do anything.

The Medicare enrollment package has nothing to do with Obamacare. And I think you better take a second look at the “excellent health insurance” provided by your former employer. Let me take this step by step to help you understand what is going on.

First, some basics. There are two main parts to Medicare. Hospital insurance, usually called Part A, covers inpatient hospital costs. It was paid for by the Medicare payroll tax deducted from your salary while you were working. So there is no cost to you once you reach 65. Medical insurance, called Part B, covers doctor’s visits, lab tests and most other medical expenses not covered by hospital insurance.

Part B is paid for by a monthly premium (currently $104.90 per month for most people) deducted from your Social Security check.

If you are getting Social Security benefits before you reach age 65, then you are automatically sent a Medicare Enrollment Package in the mail a month or two before your 65th birthday. (These enrollment packets have been mailed to seniors for decades now, so they have absolutely nothing to do with the recent Affordable Health Care Act, more commonly called “Obamacare.”)

The government automatically enrolls you in both Parts A and B of Medicare because something like 97 percent of senior citizens take Medicare at 65 and automatic enrollment saves them the hassle of contacting the Social Security Administration to apply for the program.

If you would have taken the time to read the material sent with the enrollment package, you would have learned that you can decline Part B. They just assume you want Part A hospital insurance because you’ve already paid for it. But because Part B will cost you about a hundred bucks monthly, they give you the option of turning it down.

However, before you turn it down because you think you have excellent health insurance from your former employer, I STRONGLY recommend you talk to them. What I am almost sure you will learn is that they require you to take Part B Medicare coverage, and then they will probably fix you up with some kind of Medicare supplement policy. If you think about it from their perspective, it makes sense for them. Why should they continue to provide you with full coverage when the government is willing to

Wedgwood made your Windsor Gray set in Etruria and Barlaston, England around 1950.

It was designed by artist Eric Ravilious. His travel series featured different types of travel. He also created other dinnerware sets and commemorative pieces. During World War II, he was designated as a war artist. In 1942 he failed to return from an airsea mission off the coast of Iceland. Because of war regulations, many of his designs were not produced until the 1950s.

Your set was made around 1950 and would probably be worth $300 to $500.

Adapting to the Ball Above Your Feet

Adapting to the ball above your feet

Have you ever gone to the driving range and hit the ball great only to see it disappear when you play the course? If that is the case, the reason could be that when you are on the driving range the ball is on a flat lie that is level to your feet.

When you play on the golf course the ball is lying at angles that could position the ball above or below your feet.

The first thing you want to do when you are getting ready to hit your shot is to assess the lie. Is the ball above or below my feet? You can see in the picture that I drew a line along the ground that represents “foot level”. The ball is approximately a couple inches above that line. With the ball being above my feet I need to make two adjustments to my setup; 1) I need to grip down an inch off the top of the club, therefore shortening the shaft. 2) I need to be taller in the legs and in my spine angle.

I will also need to make slight adjustments to the swing; Be sure to have the right foot push the hip up through the ball in the forward swing which will help from hitting the shot fat.

Images created through JCvideo.com software Also, finish the swing with the hips and shoulders level to the horizon. This swing feels very similar to a baseball swing, more level to the horizon line rather than “down” to the ball.

The best way to check and see if these adjustments are going to help is to make a practice swing and see where and how deep the divot is in reference to the ball. Your goal is to have a clean brush of the grass through the area of the ball.

Keep making the adjustments to the setup and swing until you get the right combination for that perfect brush of the grass. Now you’re ready to have the ball respond to that swing.

The biggest challenge in golf is that the ball lie’s at various degrees on sloped ground. That challenge requires that you develop the ability to adapt to those angles to produce the best shot possible.

Have you ever found yourself hitting the ball great at the driving range, only to see all that disappear on the course? It could be that the ball at the range is always level to your feet, but on the hilly course your setup is always changing.

To overcome these terrain changes, you first need to assess your lie. Is the ball above or below your feet? In the photo I’ve drawn a line to represent my “foot level”. In this case the ball is several inches above that line, which means I need to make two adjustments to my setup: 1) I need to grip down an inch off the top of the club to shorten the shaft. 2) I need to be taller in the legs with less angle in my back.

My swing will also need some adjusting. My right foot needs to push my hip up through the ball to avoid hitting it fat, and I’ll finish with my hips and shoulders level to the horizon. This swing is somewhat similar to a baseball swing, more horizontal than “down” to the ball.

Your goal is to adjust your setup according to your lie and have the clubhead make a clean Rob Stanger is recognized as a 2005-08 Golf Magazine Top Teacher West Region.

PHOBIAS (continued): • Some phobias relate to what’s up above, such as the sun (heliophobia), the clouds (nephophobia), the moon (selenophobia), and the stars (siderophobia). Some folks are just afraid of looking up – they are called anablephobes.

• Not all phobias seem that abnormal or uncommon. Lots of people might have a fear of death, known as necrophobia. But those with an extreme form might be terrified of being buried alive. A nosocomephobe has a fear of hospitals, a verminophobe is afraid of germs, and a hydrophobe has an irrational fear of water.

• Individuals suffering from extreme agoraphobia rarely leave their homes, due to their fear of public or open spaces and the inescapable situations that may occur there. Only home is safe.

• Some phobias can be a learned behavior that comes from listening to others describe a traumatic event. An individual in one’s life can trigger a phobia, such as peladophobia, the fear of bald people. Those with nosto-phobia, a fear of returning home, may be able to contribute their panic to a specific incident.

• People who are afraid of looking into mirrors have cataptrophobia, while those with cyberphobia have a fear of working with computers. A person with an anxiety about memories is a mnemophobe.

• Don’t confuse levophobia, the fear of objects to a person’s left, with dextrophobia, the fear of objects to the right.

• Although some of us fear the possibility of cancer, an extreme carcinophobe will convince himself he has cancer because he touched someone who has it.
