WEIRD WONDERFUL WORDS

It has been said that English is one of the most difficult languages to learn. Read on, and you’ll possibly understand why.

• The word tip is an acronym for “To Insure Corrections Promptness.”due by: 5 pm, Wed., 1/26/11

• In the Shan language of Burma, inflection and tone means a great deal. With the proper inflection, the sentence, “Ma ma ma ma ma” means “Help the horse, a mad dog is coming.”

• The German word frau means wife. It is a contraction of two German words, froh meaning joy, and weh meaning woe.

• In America, Rice Krispies say “snap crackle and pop” but in Sweden they say “piff paff puff” and in South Africa they say “knap knaetter knak” and in Germany “knisper knasper knusper.”

• Eighty percent of English words are not spelled phonetically. That is, they are not written as they sound.

• ‘Manslaughter’ and ‘man’s laughter’ are spelled exactly the same. So are ‘fatherless’ and ‘fat her less.’

WORD ORIGINS • Makrama is the Turkish word meaning a fringed napkin and gives us macrame.

• The word ‘queue’ is the only word which retains its original pronunciation even when the last four letters are dropped.

• ‘Strengths’ is the longest word with only one vowel. ‘Latchstring’ has six consonants in a row. Beijing, Fiji, and hijinks have the most dots in a row. ‘Set’ has the most different meanings, with ‘run’ running a close second.

• The word potpourri originally meant a stew. In French it literally means “putrid pot.” 

• The chess term checkmate comes from the Persian shah mat meaning “the king is dead.”

• When Bradley, Voorhees, and Day formed an underwear company in 1876, they called their product BVDs. • The Hollywood stereotype of an Indian saying “How!” is based on the traditional Indian A-Hau meaning “Peace with you” or “All is well.”

• The ancient Greeks used a resin called ‘mumia’ or ‘momie’ to preserve bodies, giving us mummies.

• In the South Seas the word tattaw means to knock or to strike and gave us the word tattoo.

• George Bernard Shaw, who tried unsuccessfully to will his fortune to anyone who could invent a better alphabet, declared it was possible to spell fish ‘ghoti’ by using gh as in enough; o as in women; and ti as in nation. But there are many ways to spell fish. For instance: Phusiphysics / busy / pension. FFess- off / pretty / issue. Ughyce- laugh / hymn / ocean. The list is ADVERTISING PROOF endless.

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

®

by Mary Hunt

Paralyzed by Too Many Choices

Dear Mary: I am looking to purchase a new dishwasher, as my 10-year-old GE model is leaking and will cost at least $300 to repair. My ® husband and I are “light users,” running a full load every four days or so.

by Mary Huntand basically use

We rinse dishes the dishwasher on the short cycle, and it has always worked fine for us. We have looked at many brands, read many reviews and find that there are pros and cons about each brand we have seen. We did go to Consumer Reports for its suggestions and still are very confused.

What are things we should be looking for in this search? -- Jan, email

Everyday CHEAPSKATE

Dear Jan: Here’s what I would do if I were you: Determine the price you’re willing to pay for a dishwasher and the top three features you want -for example, Rinse/Hold, Short Wash and must be very quiet.

Go to a Sears store, which now carries the top brands of appliances (you can also shop online at Sears’ retail online site or the Sears Outlet), with your three requirements and color choice. Then listen and pay close attention to what you learn.

In the store, the salesman will try to steer you into a higher-end model with lots of bells and whistles you’ll probably never use. Keep going back to your three “must-haves.” Then make the decision, arrange for delivery and installation, and don’t look back.

If you hold out to find the perfect dishwasher at the perfect price, you’ll still be looking this time next year -- and driving yourself nuts with frustra-

tion and indecision.

By the way, I found my LG steam dryer online at the Sears Outlet -- the companion model to my new LG Wave Force washer, which I had purchased locally. What a bargain. I had to check daily because the Sears Outlet online inventory changes frequently. But once I found it, I snapped it up in a hurry.

Even with shipping from Ohio, it was half the price of buying it locally. I could view a close-up photo of the scratch that sent my dryer to the outlet and before agreeing to purchase. Even though considered damaged, the dryer came complete with the full manufacturer’s warranty. And once set into place, the scratch is completely hidden. I’m still pumped about that bargain.

Good luck, and I hope you are able to make your decision quickly. * * *

Dear Mary: I have several very nice leather purses in light colors. Two are white, and the others are beige. I hate to get rid of them, as they were quite expensive and look very nice, but they are so dirty that I just cannot use them.

Also they are in perfect condition other than the dirt. I still hang on to them because I can’t bring myself to throw them away. How can I clean them safely? I have asked at various cleaners, but they do not do leather purses -- although some of them do leather jackets.

-- Barbara, California

Dear Barbara: Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge, available in any supermarket or discount department store. Dampen it with water, then go to work on those purses. I’ve had excellent results using one of these erasers on everything from white plastic patio chairs to leather shoes, woodwork and painted walls, too. I wish I knew what makes these erasers work so well. Could it be magic? That being said, I am quite certain this will do the trick for your purses, provided the problem is dirt, not wear. * * * Mary Hunt invites questions at mary@everyday cheapskate.com, or c/o Everyday Cheapskate, P.O.

How Are Your Computer Skills?

To help with the claims backlog, the Department of Veterans Affairs wants you to file your claims online. So says a new release. The claims will be decided faster, officials say.

The VA’s eBenefits portal online has been merged with the Veterans Benefits Management System (VBMS) at all the regional offices. On a computer you’ll be able to walk through the “interview-style application” with drop-down menus and pre-populated data fields. You can, they say, file your claims online just like you do your taxes. You’ll be able to upload digital images of records and evidence.

And if you’re like many older veterans, you have no idea what all that means.

Hint: If you’re going to file a claim and want help with the computer end of things, get a local Veterans Service Organization to go online and open your file. (You file an electronic power of attorney.)

Since the benefits will date from whenever your file was started, that should be your first step. Once you open your online file and start plugging in information, you have one year to finish it up. Your original date of claim will be kept in your file. Study up on the Fully Developed Claim (where you state that you have no other information to add), because those receive priority in processing, and get all your information in hand.

In my opinion, if the VA wants to help the backlog of claims, it needs to hire more people to scan the documents into VBMS that come in the traditional way. Still, if you’re up for online filing, you’ll need an eBenefits account, which means you need to complete a remote verification process or visit a VA regional office. Call 1-800-827-1000, option 7, if you already receive benefits by direct deposit.

This summer I did something I hadn’t done in 20 years. And this something reminds me every day how much easier it is to give advice than it is to apply it.

I got a puppy. He’s a German shepherd. His name is Happy.

Happy came from a breeder I know in North Carolina. My wife and I flew in on a Friday, and the next day, bright and early on that beautiful Saturday morning, we drove to the breeder’s house like two anxious adoptive parents.

When we arrived, the breeder’s property was bustling with at least 15 people and their dogs already midway through a training session. One of the dogs being trained was 14 months old and from the same parents as the pup we were there to meet, the dog who would be Happy. Beautiful boy.

My wife was with me not for moral support or the trip to North Carolina. The dog we would fly home with was to be her dog. I was there to play matchmaker.

That morning, we met not one dog but two.

I rattled my car keys, turned them onto their backs, waved my hands in their little puppy faces and watched them interact -- with us and with each other.

My wife played with both pups, and both are good dogs. But one was clearly sweeter, gentler, and the other was more strong-willed and a little pushy with the other.

Being a household that already includes one German shepherd and three Cardigan Welsh Corgis, a natural inclination toward playing nicely with others was a must. Happy it was -- until we got back to the hotel, that is.

That night, we got no sleep. The teething, the whining... Like I said, 20 years had elapsed since I last did this. Don’t get me wrong. We both were excited and thrilled to be bringing Happy home. But the challenges of raising a puppy were already seeping back into the forefront of my awareness.

The thought that kept coming to me all night long: As much as I’ve yakked about this my whole adult life, I hope I still know how to do it.

We arrived home to a quiet house. In preparation for our arrival, we had boarded our other dogs to give us uninterrupted bonding time with the new guy. Otherwise, dogs will bond with one another and ignore the humans.

At this initial stage, caring, feeding, loving and nurturing are the priorities - it’s not the time to lay down the law or begin training. We set Happy up CASEY’S CORNER: Turn to page 10

lifelong health Dr. David Lipschitz

Overdose of Narcotics on Rise Among Women The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that between 1999 and 2010 there was a dramatic increase in the number of women who died from overdoses of prescription painkillers.

Here are some of the alarming statistics.

The CDC notes that drug overdoses accounted for 34 percent of all suicide deaths among women, compared with 8 percent among men. One in 10 women’s suicides involved opioid painkillers. Each year, 6,600 women (18 daily) die from overdose of prescription painkillers and 940,000 women are rushed to the ER for drug use and misuse.

Prescription drug deaths are more frequent than those from illegal drug use; they’re also more common among women than deaths from injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents.

Most of the increase comes from the use of hydrocodone and Oxycontin (a long-acting morphine). According to the International Narcotics Control Board, 99 percent of all the prescriptions written for hydrocodone in the world were written in the United States. The board, a watchdog agency that monitors compliance with United Nations’ international drug control conventions, also notes that American physicians prescribe far more narcotic drugs per million people than those in any other country.

Opioids, including morphine in various forms and hydrocodone, prevent a great deal of suffering in patients with life-threatening illnesses such as some cancers. They are also a must for the short-term management of pain caused by a serious acute illness, accidents, broken bones or major surgery.

The greatest dilemma occurs in patients with chronic pain. All too frequently, physicians readily turn to hydrocodone (for example, Vicodin or Lortab) for pain relief when patients do not respond to non-addicting pain medications. And once started, it is often impossible to wean the patient off the drug.

When hydrocodone becomes ineffective, many physicians turn to morphine derivatives. The most commonly prescribed is long-acting Oxycontin (time-released oxycodone), which is effective for 12 hours.

And if this is insufficient, the shorter-acting oxycodone, which lasts for six hours, is given for breakthrough pain; that is, the presence of pain despite treatment with Oxycontin. Another choice is a morphine patch (Fentanyl) that lasts for 72 hours

Tidbits of Coachella Valley

and, on occasion, a morphine pump.

The decision to start narcotic therapy for chronic pain is serious, and neither patient nor physician should take this step lightly. It is important to make the patient aware of all the possible consequences. Many experts believe it prudent to consider an evaluation by a specialist pain team, to consider less dangerous alternatives, to provide needed psychological support and to assess the risk of addiction.

Anyone starting a narcotic should sign a contract promising that all pain medication will be prescribed by only one physician.

Addicted patients “doctor shop” to have narcotics prescribed by more than one provider.

Fortunately, almost all states, including Arkansas, have developed a registry where any pharmacist or physician can readily determine whether narcotic drugs are being obtained from multiple sites.

Arkansas’ new Prescription Monitoring Program is administered by the state Department of Health.

Dosage of narcotics often increases gradually because the patient develops tolerance to the drug. There is always the risk of addiction, although this should never be a reason not to prescribe the drugs if warranted.

If tolerance and addiction to prescription painkillers develop, pain perception alters in a negative way. Although the cause of pain is unchanged, the patient reports the pain as much more severe, begging for higher doses of narcotics to obtain needed relief. This creates a vicious cycle of ever escalating pain and the demand for larger or more frequent doses.

In desperation, a patient might take too large a dose, leading to life-threatening accidental overdose. Alternately, a relatively large dose of a narcotic combined with alcohol, sleeping pills or antidepressants can be the cause of emergency room visits or death.

Narcotics have serious adverse effects that lead to a higher risk of suicide. Confusion, somnolence, memory loss and profound depression are common, as are loss of appetite, profound weakness, nausea and violent gastrointestinal distress.

This constellation of symptoms creates a higher risk of inappropriate medication use.

For most people with chronic pain, appropriate management with non-addicting medications combined with local therapy (injections, heat, cooling or electrical stimulation), physical therapy, chiropractic care and acupuncture can offer great benefit. Education of the family and the patient about the appropriate use of these dangerous drugs is critical, and psychotherapy to assist with coping skills and relaxation techniques can help alleviate pain substantially.

CASEY’S CORNER (from page 9) to sleep in his comfy crate right next to our bed. We hear him when he cries, and he lets us know when he needs to go out, when he’s hungry, when he needs a frozen washcloth to soothe his aching jaws from the teething. And we’ve had no housebreaking accidents at all, which makes me think I’ve still got it! I actually do know what I’m talking about!

Whenever Happy’s inside, he’s either on a leash or in his crate. We’ll maintain this rule for months, and all new puppy parents would be wise to, as well.

Last night at sunset, I was sitting on the back deck with Happy. There was a broom propped up against a wall behind us. Happy wanted to eat that broom. The leash and the crate help you to prevent destruction and to quietly set boundaries on behaviors such as chewing.

That said, as I look down right now, I can’t see the floor under my feet for the dog toys all around. With some things, boundaries are totally overrated.

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

Law Firms That Specialize in Social Security Disability Q:

You recently wrote a column in which you said it is ver y difficult to qualify for Social Security disability benefits. I think just the opposite is true. It is so easy to get on the government disability dole. After all, you see so many commercials on TV from lawyers who tell people that they can get anyone on Social Security disability. They must somehow be in cahoots with the government. I’ll bet they have their own doctors who automatically get people enrolled in the program. Isn’t that a big scam?

A:

No, it’s not a big scam. And you are

missing the point if you think the fact that many law firms specialize in Social Security disability law proves that I was wrong when I said that it is very difficult to qualify for disability benefits from Social Security. Just the opposite is true.

Why do you think an entire cottage industry of private legal specialists has grown up around the Social Security disability program? It’s because the Social Security disability eligibility rules are so stringent. Or to put that another way, if it was easy to qualify for disability benefits, why would people need to hire lawyers to get those benefits?

In the world of disability benefit programs, including those from other government agencies and the private sector, Social Security is known for having the strictest definition of disability. Essentially, the law says you must have an impairment that prevents you from doing ANY kind of work for at least 12 months. Or you must have a condition that is terminal.

Despite this rather simple-sounding definition of “disability,” it can be such a complicated and such a personal issue. As I always point out, one person’s disabling condition may be another person’s minor inconvenience. For example, I have a friend who is a paraplegic and must use a wheelchair. If you were to see him, you would say, “There is a disabled guy.” Yet he works full time and gets upset when people refer to him as disabled. On the other hand, I’ve helped hundreds of people file for Social Security disability benefits because they had conditions as relatively minor as bad knees or a sore back.

That’s one of the reasons why it is so difficult to administer a disability program. Here is another.

Think of the hundreds of different kinds of possible disabling conditions: heart trouble, kidney disease, brain damage, cancer, nervous disorders, muscular and skeletal issues, mental health problems, etc. The list goes on and on. How do you decide how badly damaged a heart must be before someone can get disability? How dysfunctional must a kidney be to keep someone from working? How much pain must a person endure to make him teasers or herlog unemployable For more on to and eligible for benefits? The Social Security Adminwww.TriviaGuy.com istration has established guidelines to help its disability claims evaluators make that decision for each potential condition. Yet no matter how much they try to objectify that process, the decision is still ultimately a subjective one.

And that’s what leads to so much disagreement. And that’s why sometimes lawyers get involved. But despite your allegations, the legal and

Tidbits of Coachella Valley

other firms who specialize in disability law are definitely not “in cahoots” with the government. Instead, it is very much an adversarial relationship. And they certainly don’t “automatically get people on the program.”

Having said that, I will point out that they do have a high degree of success helping folks qualify for Social Security disability. Why is that? Remember those disability guidelines I mentioned earlier?

The folks who work at these law firms have those guidelines memorized backwards and forwards. And when they are representing a disability claimant at a hearing before one of Social Security’s “administrative law judges,” they can “talk the talk” and “walk the walk.” They know exactly how to present a case convincingly.

That is not to say that lawyers or other specialists are always needed to help a disability claimant get his or her Social Security benefits. Let me back up a few steps.

No one needs a lawyer to file his or her first claim for disability benefits. That’s a relatively simple process of filling out a bunch of forms and then sitting back and waiting (usually about three months) for a decision. I have written past columns offering folks tips on filing for Social Security disability benefits.

About 35 percent of first-time claims are approved. Of course, that means 65 percent are denied.

The reason a high percentage of first time claims are denied is because many folks file for disability benefits out of desperation. Most of them are simply unemployed and not really “disabled.”

If your disability claim is denied, the first appeal is what SSA calls a reconsideration. And that is merely a matter of filling out a few more forms and waiting a couple more months for a decision. A reconsideration is just an internal review of the disability claim by SSA personnel. The last statistics I saw showed that between 10 and 20 percent of disability claims are approved at this level.

But if your claim is turned down again, then the next step in the appeals process is a hearing before the aforementioned SSA judge. You don’t

need legal help for this process. But many people feel more comfortable having an attorney represent them at the hearing. And if you use such help, you’ve got about a 70 percent chance of getting your disability claim approved. That’s the good news. The bad news is it will cost you. Most of these firms will take 25 percent of any back pay benefits you receive.

Resolving Disputes Q:

Like many of my neighbors, I get extremely frustrated when I make a purchase and find it doesn’t meet my expectations. Recently, I purchased a yellow dress that was on sale at a major department store for my 3-yearold granddaughter. After I got it home I found a button missing and a stitching mistake.

Naturally I was disappointed, and although the price was right, I attempted to return it for either cash or a gift card. The clerk was extremely unfriendly and flatly refused to accept the return. She pointed at a sign on the register that said sale items were not returnable. In my rush to make the purchase, I did not even see the sign. Is there anything I can do?

It is helpful when parents caution the children that their grandparents are not able to move around as easily as they are. If grandparents are using canes and other support devices, parents should let the kids know that those items are not toys and that they should not be played with.

Move cautiously when visiting at the kids’ house, and keep your eyes alert for items on the floor before you start walking from room to room.

This simple precaution can avoid a nasty fall.

In most cases, our grandchildren are the joy of our lives. But we must learn to be careful!

 On Aug. 11, 1856, a hurricane hits Isle Derniere, a resort community on the Louisiana coast, killing more than 400 people.

The storm first brought blinding and torrential rain, then storm surges and finally a tidal wave. Upward of 150 people were carried off with the wave, with some bodies ending up 6 miles away.  On Aug. 6, 1890, at Auburn Prison in New York, the first execution in history by electrocution is carried out against William Kemmler. It didn’t go as planned. With the first charge, the current failed. A second charge was required for two minutes before Kemmler was declared deceased.  On Aug. 7, 1944, under the threat of Allied bombing during World War II, the German car manufacturer Volkswagen halts production of the “Beetle.” Volkswagen, under the control of the British military, began turning out Beetles again in December 1945.

A:

Even though the dress was a sale item,

the attitude of the clerk was not in the best interest of the store in keeping you as a customer. Even a courtesy response and apology could have helped minimize your anger.

Do not accept the clerk’s response, but return to the store and ask to speak to a supervisor.

If he/she does not resolve your request, your next step is to call or write the company’s president and express your complaint. Senior managers do not like these types of customer reports and expect their employees to resolve these kinds of issues before they reach upper management.

While employees are usually given stringent guidelines about returns, they should also be given some leeway in order to quickly satisfy unhappy customers. There are several chain stores that will accept returns without questioning reasons for doing so. These stores are always gaining new customers because of that flexible policy.

In the tough economy that we are now experiencing, wise store managers would do well to remember the old adage: The customer is always right! * * *

 On Aug. 5, 1957, rock ‘n’ roll television show “American Bandstand” goes national with teens dancing and rating records on a scale from 35 to 98. The show was broadcast from Philadelphia to 67 ABC affiliates across the country. Dick Clark was host, a slot he held for 27 years.  On Aug. 9, 1969, members of Charles Manson’s cult kill five people in movie director Roman Polanski’s Beverly Hills, Calif., home, including Polanski’s pregnant wife, actress Sharon Tate. Polanski was not the cult leader’s intended target. Manson, an aspiring musician, chose the Polanski house because he had once unsuccessfully tried to get a recording deal from a producer who used to live there.

Q:

As the grandparent of a child who

has just learned to walk, I recently fell when I stumbled over one of his plastic toys. Fortunately, I was not hurt and all is well. You should advise your older readers to be aware of these “toy dangers” when visiting their grandkids.

 On Aug. 10, 1978, three teenage girls die after their 1973 Ford Pinto is rammed from behind by a van and bursts into flames.

It was known as far back as 1972 that the Pinto’s gas tank, which sat behind the rear axle, was particularly vulnerable to damage by rear-end collisions.

A:

You are right. Toys are dangerous and

are known to have caused major injuries. Other concerns that require being alert in grandchildren’s homes are loose rugs, children playing aggressively, slippery wet floors and children running around.

 On Aug. 8, 1986, actor, writer and director Spike Lee’s first feature-length movie, “She’s Gotta Have It,” opens in theaters around the United States. The movie launched Lee’s career and established his reputation as an outspoken filmmaker who often tackled controversial subjects.

Figure Is a Stand Up Man Q:

I am enclosing a photo of a clock I received from an older relative. This information is on the clock: “Made June 14, 1881, New York, New York, USA -- Made by Ansonia Clock Co. -- Patented June 14, 1881, June 13, 1882.” The clock is ver y ornate and decorated with car vings of images of women’s heads, handles on each side of the clock and the figure of a man holding a book and standing next to a stack of books. The clock is quite heavy and made of metal.

Does this clock have any value?

A:

Ansonia Clock Company was founded by

Anson G. Phelps in 1850. Your clock is a figural mantle clock and the metal is spelter. The figures were decorated with Japanese bronze finish.

Collectors prefer clocks in the original finish.

The value of those that have been repainted is considerably diminished.

SPACE FACTS (from page page 3) mostly hydrocarbons and do not indicate the presence of actual life forms.

SPACE TRASH • Scientists, engineers, and space planners in general are becoming increasingly concerned with the growing number of small pieces of space junk. The North American Aerospace Defense Command currently tracks more than 7,000 objects the size of a baseball or larger orbiting the Earth. Recent research appears to show there are many more large objects we aren’t tracking. At least half of these small objects come from the 80 satellites that have broken up while in orbit, and there are probably millions of smaller particles up there.

• NASA regards these particles as no small matter. A particle no more than 0.6 millimeters wide can penetrate one of the space suits currently used by the space program. When the shuttle Challenger was orbiting in 1983, a small chip of paint hit the windshield and gouged a quarter-inch crater. The space debris can also wreak havoc on Earth-bound astronomers and delicate equipment in orbit.

ASTONISHING ASTRONOMY • On a clear night, the average person can see only about 3,000 stars. If the sum of all starlight that falls on the Earth could be concentrated on one point, it would only equal a 100-watt bulb as seen from a distance of more than 600 feet.

• The full moon is nine times as bright as the half moon because the surface of the visible half moon is extremely rough and mountainous.

This makes for more shadows and less reflected sunlight.

QUICK BIT • 12 men have walked on the surface of the moon.

Their footprints will be visible for unknown millions of years. Those dozen men have spent a total of 300 hours there, and returned to earth with 842 lbs. (381 kg) of lunar rock. 

Empowered Golf

Initiate your swing with a trigger in the legs

Have you ever stood over the ball at address, looked out to the distant target and thought, “OK, now what?” Many golfers face this dilemma simply because they don’t know how to trigger their takeaway. Sometimes just starting the swing can be the most difficult part of the process! Here are my key steps in getting your swing started to create a great shot: The first key is to work it from the ground up; feet, knees, hips, shoulders and then the arms and hands. All too often I see high handicappers swing Initiate Your Swing with a Trigger in the Legs too much with their arms Have you ever stood overand the ball looked the out tomore the notandutilize target in the distance and thought “ok now what”?
