fearful dogs, usually after these people spent years exacerbating the problem with their own misguided behavior: the weary woman who comes home to yet another accident on the rug and in her anger screams “No! No! No!” at her shy little dog; the macho man who wants his water-fearful dog to swim so badly that, out of frustration, he throws the pooch into the pool. Her dog is now fearful of her arrival at the end of the day. His dog is now fearful of water and him. Fighting fear with fear doesn’t work. Full-on in-your-face exposure to that which is the source of great fear will not magically erase the fear, as if it existed only in an Etch A Sketch. Irrational fear is much deeper than that. In most dogs, such dramatic exposure will induce a flooding effect, in which the dog appears resigned but in actuality shuts down completely -- as a last-resort coping We scoop, disinfect remove yo mechanism. When neither fight nor flight isand an oppoop weekly for only $9.7 tion, freeze. An 84-year-old woman called me last week. She was frustrated. Her three Pomeranians -- a.k.a. The Three Stooges -- were barking, yapping and eating the plants in her indoor garden. The Stooges are small and on the skittish side. Yelling, which never helps, would in their case make things much worse. I agreed to work with her. First, I showed her how to use the leash as a training tool -- in this case, to correct the excessive barking behavior. Then I invoked the all-powerful squirt bottle to subsidize the correction. This startles the dogs, distracting them from the unwanted behavior and giving her the opportunity to “reset” them to a more desirable behavior -- which she then reinforces with praise and affection. And finally, I introduced her to The Home Depot, where she found inexpensive, unobtrusive fencing to keep The Stooges from snacking on her azaleas. A couple of training sessions, with her reinforcing the techniques and commands in between meetings with me, and the next thing I know, I’m greeted at the door with homemade biscotti! We

I get lots of email from readers who tell me they have a hard time finding answers to their questions at the Social Security Administration website: www.socialsecurity.gov. Or, I often hear from readers telling me they want to “see something official in black and white” before they will believe whatever I wrote in my column. I frequently steer both groups of inquirers to the same part of SSA’s website. It is the “Publications” section. SSA produces hundreds of pamphlets and fact sheets for the public designed to explain Social Security laws and regulations. Frankly, I’m kind of partial to that little corner of the website because I used to be SSA’s chief editor of all their publications. Of course, I don’t think they are quite as good as they were before yours truly hung up his blue editing pencil to retire to the sunny beaches of San Diego about seven years ago! But I believe they still provide the most readable and understandable explanations of Social Security rules that you will find on the web. To find these publications, go to www.socialsecurity.gov. At the home page, you’ll find a box on the left side of the page labeled, “Top Services.” One of those services is “Get a publication.” Clicking on that link will take you to a page that lists each of the more than 100 publications the agency produces. You can scroll through them one by one. But it would be better to narrow your search by pulling down the “Topic” box. There you will find publications listed under categories such as “Retirement” or “Disability” or “Medicare” and quite a few more. Some of my favorite publications are: --Understanding The Benefits (under the Introduction to Social Security section); --What Every Woman Should Know (under the Introduction to Social Security section); --Your Retirement Benefit - How It Is Figured (under the Retirement section); --Special Payments After Retirement (under the Retirement section); --How Work Affects Your Benefits (under the Work and Earnings section); --Blue Book - Disability Evaluation Under Social Security (under the Disability section); and --Understanding Supplemental Security Income (under the Supplemental Security Income section). Some of my readers aren’t content with seeing a pamphlet or fact sheet with an explanation of the rules. They want to see the rules themselves. Many write asking me to cite the specific law that covers a certain Social Security topic. (These are the kind of folks who, when you ask them for the time, will take 30 minutes to tell you how a watch works!) Frankly, I’m not much help to these people. I worked for the Social Security Administration for 32 years and maybe needed to look up an actual law a half dozen times. There are other sources with much better information (which I’ll get to in a minute). But if you want to wade through the actual Social Security law, you will find it at SSA’s website. At the homepage, look for the box labeled “About Our Agency.” Open up the pull-down menu and click on For more teasers log on to “Program Rules.” At the Program Rules homepage, www.TriviaGuy.com

Unusual children’s dishes were made in Japan.

I have enclosed a photo of the mark that is on a set of dishes that I have. There are 16 dinner plates, 15 salad plates, 16 soup bowls, eight cups, 13 saucers, two sugar bowls with covers, two creamers, and one teapot. Each dish is decorated with multi-colored flowers in the center and gold filigree design on the border. They are all in ver y good condition. I believe the numbers on the mark “4511” mean the dishes were produced in November 1945. I would like to know more information on the Knowles Co. and the approximate value of my dishes.

Edwin M. Knowles China Co. was founded in 1900 by Edwin Knowles in Chester, W.V. In 1913, they added another plant in Newell, W.V. Semi-vitreous is a type of porcelain and is also called semi-porcelain. Knowles produced dinnerware, toilet ware and utilitarian ware. Dinnerware decorated

that domination factor -- clearly he is one of the best, if not the best player in the American League right now -- could be what puts him over the top in that regard. For a 162-game season, Hamilton averages .314 with an on-base percentage of .370, 35 home runs and 122 RBI. Last season he walked on 39 occasions and struck out 93 times. However, he’s only grounded into 40 double plays in his entire career. For a No. 3 hitter, one who sees a lot of people on the base paths in front of him, that’s an outstanding number from such an aggressive hitter. That is really the secret of Hamilton’s success -- aggression. According to ESPN, Hamilton leads the league in percentage of first-pitch swings (56.5 percent as of this writing). This season, Hamilton is 10-for-22 with three home runs swinging at the first pitch. But it’s games like the one he had in Baltimore that reach past the statistics. “It reminds you of when you’re in Little League and a little kid,” Hamilton said. “Excitement [is] why we play the game.” Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in Kansas City.

Hole out more short putts

The tricky thing about putting is that you’re seldom going to have a straight and level putt into the cup. Breaking putts are sometimes difficult to sink since you have to consider two variables: the speed of the ball, and the slope that will always influence its direction. I believe it’s more important to focus on speed since speed dictates the amount of break the ball will take in the roll. A faster moving ball will have less break than a slower one, and a downhill putt will take less stroke than an uphill one. Let’s give ourselves two speeds to work with on our sloping putt: Exact speed, and one step past the hole. With exact speed you are calculating that the Hole Out More Short Putts ball will have just enough roll to trickle into the hole. The slower speed The tricky thing about putting is that you’re not always in or seldom ever going this to haveputt a straight putt into the hole. These means you will breaking putts are sometimes difficult to hole out since you have allow the maxihave to calculate two things; to the speed the for ball will be rolling as it nears the hole and the amount of tilt in the slope that is going mum amount of influence to influence the direction the ball is rolling. I feel that it is more important to focus speed since the slope willonhave on speed the dictates the amount of break the ball will take in the putt. A thatthan thea slower ball moving will faster moving ball direction will have less break ball. To figure out the speed of the putt start off by pacing off roll. You want to putt for a your putt and give yourself a number in your head, one or two steps from the hole.point The next just thing toshort do is determine of thewhether cup the putt is up hill or down hill than take a look at the putt from the feed the low side; an up and hill puttallow from behind the slope ball and ato down hill putt from behind the hole.

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.
