During the winter months most areas of North America are, to one degree or another, dealing with cold weather. Some people love it; others hate it.

The sound occurs when tiny compressed air bubbles in the ice “pops”. The bubbles are formed when the air is trapped in layers of snow that are then compressed over time forming glacial ice.

● It was Martin Luther King Jr. who made the following sage observation: “Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” ● Are you a dromomaniac? If you travel compulsively, you are. ● The famed statue Venus de Milo was lost to history for nearly 2,000 years. No one knew of its existence until 1820, when a Greek peasant tilling a field on the island of Milos hit stone -- several carved blocks of stone, to be specific. Within a few weeks, archaeologists arrived and took the statue of Aphrodite to France.

King Louis XVIII dubbed it the Venus de Milo and donated it to the Louvre, where it remains today.

● You might be surprised to learn that Humphrey Bogart wasn’t the producers’ first choice for the role of Rick in “Casablanca.” An actor named George Raft was originally offered the part, but he turned it down because he didn’t like the script. ● In 2010, a new species of slug was discovered in the mountains of Borneo. It is distinguished from other species of slug by its novel method of mating: It shoots its mate with a so-called love dart made of calcium carbonate and containing hormones. The researchers nicknamed the gastropods “ninja slugs.” ● If you’re traveling to Kansas anytime soon, be sure to remember that it is against the law in that state to catch fish with your bare hands. ● During the original run of the classic 1960s TV series “Gilligan’s Island,” some viewers took the show rather too seriously. Several telegrams were sent to the U.S. Coast Guard asking why the poor people hadn’t yet been rescued. *** Thought for the Day: “I want a man who is kind and understanding.

• Queen Victoria’s long reign became known as the Victorian Era; a time of great industrial, scientific, political, military, and trade advancements for Great Britain, as well as her strong emphasis on personal morality.

• The Queen and Prince Albert had nine children, all of whom, under the watchful management of Victoria, married into royal and noble families across the continent. The marriage unions succeeded in tying them all together, earning Victoria the nickname, “the Grandmother of Europe”.

• When Prince Albert died in 1861, Victoria was deeply devastated. She entered a state of mourning, avoiding public appearances, rarely setting foot in London, and wearing only black, all of which continued for the remaining 40

A FEW BITS ABOUT

ADVERTISING PROO Final Changes DUE: CLIP AND SAVE

Tea Cups While many China cabinets and hutches contain tea cup collections in the homes of both wealthy and not-so-wealthy North Americans, these fine breakables are not just for display or for special occasions. Many homes around the world use their tea sets on a regular basis.

• The reason most tea cups are considered “China,” is that they originated in that country.

The first tea cups did not have handles and were called tea bowls. Some of the early tea bowls used in Europe were more like deep saucers and were used so that the tea cooled quicker.

• Saucers, as we know them, to accompany tea cups did not appear until 1700. Tea cups with handles were not seen until Robert Adams came up with the idea in about 1750.

• The English embraced Mr. Adams designs.

They thought tea bowls were messy and people often burned their hands on them. Robert Adams designed cups that were taller and wider than the base and the saucers he introduced, more flat like small plates, were welcomed as a place to let a hot cup rest. His designs quickly became the standard for what became known as the “English Tea Service Set.”

Q: I heard that Luke Perr y and Jennie Garth are planning to do a project together soon. Is that true? -- Dahlia A., via e-mail

A: When

I spoke with Luke recently, he was mum on the subject of Jennie, but he WAS eager to tell me about his latest Hallmark Movie Channel movie: “Goodnight for Justice: Queen of Hearts,” which premieres Saturday, Jan. 26, and re-airs throughout the week. (Check local listings.)

Luke Perry On his love for his “Goodnight” series, and Westerns in general, Luke told me: “I don’t need any aliens with my cowboys. I’ll just take my cowboys straight up if that’s OK with everybody else. We all talk about Westerns. There were some great ones made.

“What I love about (the “Goodnight”) movies is that you know what you’re going to get going in, which makes it like the old Western serials that would play before the movies. There’s a bit of a cliffhanger element, and the guy rides off in the end. But if he comes back the next time, you know there’ll be some more shooting and some girls and some action, and another little bit of the story will get told. That’s what I wanna do. I’ve never felt really compelled to do the bigger, better, more bang, more stuff. You can still make a good Western.” *** for another season? -- George T., via e-mail

asked her just that. Being a mom herself, she told me that the show plans to help these kids in the best way possible, and won’t make them submit to the grueling programs that the adults go through.

“The first thing we did was to take into consideration the age of the contestants, and how we could best help and guide them,” she said. “They don’t live on the ranch; they are not going to be competing. We encourage the families to also change their nutrition choices, and get them out there and exercising.

This is all done in a kid-friendly way.”

I’ve attended many dog shows in my time.

I’ve met beautiful dogs, groomed to the hilt, with textbook temperaments. I’ve met proud and dedicated dog owners who had dropped thousands on handling and grooming. I also met a 160-pound Nea(CryptoQuip solution on page 14) politan mastiff who pulled so hard on the leash that his owner couldn’t walk him and a 15-pound terrier who continually bounced off my kneecaps.

Beautiful show dogs, but still not trained.

Perfect teeth and bones and super-shiny coats, but still not trained. (and more than a few adults)

These animals were quite literally the champions of their breed. And still they had bad manners.

It’s relatively easy to teach a dog good manners; there’s no ego factor to negotiate when teaching a dog. But you’ll need to do some homework first. For some dog owners, everything they know about dogs is based on the other dog. They don’t know about teething, they don’t know about crate training, they don’t know about housebreaking.

They don’t know about temperament testing, tone of voice, personality or the particulars of one breed HotDogC0607 [Converted].pdf

YOUR

SOCIAL SECURITY

by Tom Margenau

The Ten Most Common Misconceptions About Social Security

If I had the space, I probably could write a column called “The One Thousand Most Common Misconceptions About Social Security.” I see examples of them almost every day in the emails I get from my readers. Alas, I’ll barely have room to cover the top ten. This week, I’ll stick to the program side of Social Security. Next week, I’ll go over some of the most common policy and political misunderstandings. Here is the program side: Misconception One: Social Security retirement benefits are based on your last 10 years of earnings.

Other misunderstandings say benefits are based on a “high five” or a “last three” base of earnings. None are true. All retirement benefits are based on a person’s highest 35 years of earnings -- with each year being adjusted for inflation.

Misconception Two: If you work after you start getting Social Security, the extra taxes you pay will automatically increase your Social Security check.

You will only get such an automatic increase if your current income is higher than the lowest of the 35 inflation-adjusted years of earnings used in your original computation.

Misconception Three: You can take reduced benefits at 62 and later switch to full benefits on your own or a spouse’s record. With very few exceptions (the major one applying to widows), you simply can’t do that. If you apply for any kind of Social Security benefit before age 66, you must file for all other benefits you are due at the same time. But those rules change dramatically if you wait until age 66 to file.

To understand these rules, send me an email and ask for a free digital copy of my fact sheet, “When to Take Your Social Security Benefits.”

Misconception Four: Working women are cheated because they cannot get their own retirement benefit and a wife’s or widow’s benefit from their husband’s account. I get emails almost every day from women complaining about this issue. Interestingly, I’ve never once heard from a working man complaining that he can’t get a husband or widower’s benefit from his wife’s Social Security record. Simply put: As a general rule, if you are due two benefits (and any married person who works is potentially due benefits from his or her own record and from a spouse’s account), you only get the benefit that pays the higher rate. To clarify further, you should understand that spousal benefits are only due to financially dependent wives or husbands.

Misconception Five: You must be married for at least 10 years to qualify for spousal benefits from Social Security. That 10-year duration of marriage rule applies only to divorced spouses.

Misconception Six: Any benefits paid to a divorced spouse offset payments due to a current spouse.

That is simply wrong. Social checks For moreSecurity teasers log on to paid to www.TriviaGuy.com an ex-spouse have no impact on benefits payable to a current spouse. They each can receive whatever spousal benefits they are due.

Misconception Seven: Teachers are cheated

This fallacy grows out of a misunderstanding of a law called the “government pension offset.” That law simply says that teacher’s pensions (received by teachers in jobs not covered by Social Security) will be treated like a Social Security retirement benefit. Social Security retirement benefits have always offset any spousal benefits a person might be due.

The GPO law simply says that teacher’s retirement pensions will also offset any spousal benefits due. To understand this better, send me an email and ask for a free digital copy of my fact sheet, “Pension Offsets and Social Security.”

Misconception Eight: Social Security disability benefits are welfare. Where does this idea come from? (Actually, I think I know, and it’s explained in the next paragraph.) Let’s look at two people. Joe has worked and paid Social Security taxes all his life.

He retires at age 62 and gets Social Security retirement benefits. Jack has also worked and paid Social Security taxes all his life. Unfortunately, he comes down with prostate cancer at age 58 and starts getting Social Security disability benefits. Why do so many people think Joe is getting a benefit he earned while Jack is getting some form of welfare? They are both getting Social Security benefits for which they have worked and paid taxes.

pays for doctor’s visits, lab tests, outpatient hospital services and other medical costs. You qualify for Medicaid, which is as comprehensive as both parts of Medicare, not because you’ve worked and paid taxes, but only because you are poor.

DECISIONS? Should I buy the newest technology?

Misconception Nine: SSI is some kind of Social Security benefit. Supplemental Security Income is a federal welfare program that has nothing at all to do with Social Security other than the fact that it is managed by the Social Security Administration. SSI benefits are funded by general tax revenues, not by Social Security taxes. SSI pays a very small monthly stipend to poor people who are over age 65 or who are under 65 but disabled. Unfortunately, many people confuse SSI disability payments with Social Security disability benefits. They are two distinct programs. The former is a welfare payment. The latter is an earned benefit.

Misconception Ten: Medicaid is part of the Medicare program. Just like SSI and Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare are two separate government programs. Simply put, Medicaid is welfare and Medicare is not. To qualify for Part A, or hospital coverage, under Medicare, you generally must work and pay Medicare taxes for at least 10 years. And anyone over 65 or getting Social Security disability benefits can buy Part B Medicare coverage. Part B

ANSWER: Your question is asked repeatedly. My long-distance guess is a subconjunctival hemorrhage. The conjunctiva is a cellophane-like covering of the eye. Beneath it is a network of invisible blood vessels. When one of those delicate vessels breaks, blood covers that part of the eye.

Coughing, sneezing or straining causes the breakage. Sometimes it happens for no apparent reason. The eye looks awful, but no real harm is done.

The blood is absorbed in about a week. You can hurry it up by holding warm compresses over the closed eye.

You need to see a doctor if the eye begins to pain you, if the blood stays for longer than a week or

The number one swing fault I see is allowing the sockets to slip laterally, getting the golfer “out of balance”. As soon as this happens you have to compensate by shifting back into balance as you make contact with the ball. That’s a miss hit.

In order to achieve more power and more control, get in front of a mirror and work on keeping your sockets properly stacked and balanced throughout your swing.
