TIDBITS MUNCHES ON SOME

UNAPPETIZING

by Kathy Wolfe

Edible? Yes. Appetizing? Well... maybe not so much. This week, Tidbits serves up some unusual dishes that you might not be too eager to chow down once you know a few details about the ingredients! • Is itoffalor awful?Maybeboth!Offal is the

term chefs use to refer to the entrails and organs of animals, such as brains, hearts, kidneys, liver, tongue, pancreas and glands.

•Whenyouheartheword“sweetbreads,”don’tthink banana or pumpkin bread. It’s actuallythe culinary term for the thymus glands of a lamb, pig or calf, located in the throat and neck. Mostoften,theglandsaresoakedinsaltwater,poached in milk, then fried up for dinner.

•Remembertheoldadvertisingphrase,“There’salwaysroomforJell-O”?Howaboutagelatinmold made with meat stock? Add cold pork, chicken, hard-boiled eggs and some vegetables, andyou’llendupwithaconcoctionknownasaspic. Although some cooks add unflavoredgelatintothemixforafirmermold,traditionalaspic uses the coagulated broth remaining after boilingananimal’shead,bonesandfeet.

If you’re in “spring cleaning”mode, take some time to make

sure that all of your vitalelectronic appliances (TV,

computer, stereo equipment)are plugged into adequate surgeprotectors. It’s also advisable tobuy a fresh supply of batteriesthat fit both your flashlight

and your portableradio. Store them in

a central locationthat can be easily

Head cheese isn’t really cheese at all, but rather a mixture of the meat and tissue picked off a pig’s skull, and set in gelatin.

Although there aremany types of fish eggs available as a delicacy, including salmon and paddlefish, only the eggs of the sturgeon are considered true caviar. The best caviar comes from the Beluga sturgeon found primarily in the Caspian Sea. This large saltwater fish does not produce eggs until it matures at the age of twenty years.

Two Norwegians, Knut and Lars, sat down to their Christmas dinner of lutefisk. After the first bite, Knut said, “This lutefisk tastes like a dead fish that’s been rotting on a hot sidewalk for a week!” “I know,” said Lars, “it’s the best I’ve ever tasted, too.”

● Thomas Jefferson was an inventor as well as a statesman, but he refused to take out patents on any of his ideas. He believed that inventions should benefit all of humanity, not just himself.

● According to those who study such things, the average American believes the ideal age -- that is, the best year of his or her life -- is 32. And when 30-somethings are asked when old age begins, the ma-jority of men say it’s in the late 60s, while more women believe old age begins in the 70s.

● That iconic symbol of the Old West, the Pony Express, was based on the mail system used throughout the Mongol Em-pire in the 13th century. However, the Mongol riders often covered 125 miles in a single day, which was faster than the best record held by a Pony Express rider.

Mostofuseatcheeseseveral timesaweekbutmight not knowwhatwe’re really eating.Thisweek, Tidbits brings you some facts about the process and a few different poular types. •Altlhough the exact origin of cheese is not

actually known, a story handed down by some food historians credits the discovery to an Arab nomadmorethan5,000yearsago.Itissaidthathe poured milk into the stomach of a freshly killed sheep or goat to use as a canteen to take along on his journey. The sun warmed the milk, allowing the bacterial process to do its work. When the nomad later stopped for a drink, he foundthechurnedupmilkhadsolidifiedintowhat we know today as cheese. After tasting the substance and liking it, he shared his discovery with others, who in turn copied his method. The rest, as they say, is history.

KIDS’ MAZEKIDS’ MAZE

Q: Can you tell me when my favorite show, “The Biggest Loser,” will be back for its next season? I can’t wait for it to start! -- Edie T., via e-mail

A: The weight-loss compe-tition/reality show will be back for its 12th season on NBC beginning Tuesday, Sept. 20 (8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET). This season sees “The Biggest Loser” with two new trainers: tennis star Anna Kournikova (who replaces Jil-lian Michaels) and celebrity trainer Dolvett Quince. Trainer Bob Harper and host Alison Sweeney will return, and they will be joined by 15 contestants competing in a “Battle of the Ages,” which groups contestants by age. There will be three teams of five divided by age: the youngest players, all under 30; the middle players, ages 30 to 49; and the older players, ages 50 and above.

***

Q: I loved “Spin City,” and I can find the seasons with Michael J. Fox as the star on DVD, but can’t find the seasons when Charlie Sheen took over. Do they ever plan to release those seasons? -- Darren D., Spokane, Wash.

A: When Michael J. Fox retired from the successful sitcom after the fourth season, Charlie Sheen joined Heather Locklear and company, tak-ing over as Deputy Mayor Charlie Crawford for the fifth and sixth seasons. The fifth season also was a who’s who of guest stars, including Marcia Cross, Kal Penn, Regis Philben, Raquel Welch, Dakota Fan-ning, Jason Priestley, Rosie O’Donnell, Seth Meyers, Scott Wolf and Alyssa Milano. Season five is finally available on DVD, and can be found online and wher-ever your favorite DVDs are sold. ***

Q: This spring I really got into Chris-tian Slater’s new show called “Breaking In.” I was so sad when it was canceled by Fox. Now I am hearing it might not be canceled. Is that true? -- Dylan F., via e-mail

A: In an almost-unprecedented reversal, Fox decided to uncancel the caper comedy that cen-tered on a team that is hired by companies to break into their own security systems in order to find flaws and weak links. Back in May, all signs pointed to “Breaking In” coming back for the fall, but when the fall schedule was announced a short time later, the show was nowhere to be seen. After much behind-the-scenes negotiation, Fox announced in August that the show would be back for 13 episodes to begin airing midseason 2012. ***

Q: I was an avid viewer of the ABC show “V,” and especially loved the character of

Father Landry. Can you tell me if I can see the actor who played him in anything else soon? -- Vivian A. in Pennsylvania

A: Joel Gretsch, who played freedom fight-er and priest Jack Landry on the ABC sci-fi show about aliens invading Earth, has risen from the ashes of “V” and can next be seen this fall on NBC’s “The Playboy Club” as a recurring character who clashes with Eddie Cibrian’s Nick Dalton.

Payment History from Private Lenders DEAR MARY: I am purchasing a house from a family member under a private contract. How can he report my payments to the credit agencies so that my good payment record on this mortgage will boost my credit score? -- Jill, Kentucky

Dear Jill: I’m afraid that isn’t possible. The CRAs (credit reporting agencies) will not accept payment history from someone other than what they consider a “qualified creditor.” There is a good reason for this. If every private party who was also a creditor tried to report info to the CRAs, they would be swamped with information and would have a difficult time de-termining what is valid and what is bogus -- i.e., people trying to boost credit scores with fraudulent information. But don’t be discouraged. The way you handle your credit card and the way you pay all of your other bills should be sufficient to build a decent credit score. * * * DEAR MARY: I have a pink summer suit

that is supposed to be dry-cleaned. It is not dirty, except for the collar where my makeup has rubbed off. Is there some way to clean the makeup off just the collar? Rolo, email

Dear Rolo: In a spray bottle, mix equal parts Dawn liquid dishwashing soap and water. Get a clean white cloth. Spray a small amount directly on the stain. Once saturated, use the cloth to blot the stained area as dry as possible. This should move the makeup from the fabric to the blotting cloth. Be sure to rinse the area well with clear water, being careful to isolate it only to the affected area. * * * DEAR MARY: Words cannot express my gratitude for mentioning my organization, 2nd Step Ministries in a recent column. What a delightful surprise! I prayed for abundance and what an outpouring of love I received. At my current rate, I will reach over three hundred women in Mississippi alone by the organization’s first anniversary date in Feb-ruary 2012. I am still waiting to receive official notice from the IRS regarding our tax-exempt status as a nonprofit corporation. In the mean-time, I am taking a grant-writing course through my county coalition. Your principles of sound money man-agement have made this possible, as my sever-ance package plus the savings I had in place enabled me to launch of this venture. I believe God works through people, and following you online for the past several years has truly been a blessing to me. Thank you. I hope you don’t mind if I drop you a line from time to time to celebrate God’s blessings.

Sincerely, Becky Ramsay.

Dear Becky: Please do! I look forward to following right along with your progress and what’s in store for 2nd Step Ministries. * * *Do you have a question for Mary? Email her at [email protected], or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Mary Hunt is the founder of www.DebtProofLiving.com, a personal finance member website.

RowdyforRawhide Rowdyisawonderful,lovingandfriendlydog…99percentofthetime.Whenwetrytotakehis rawhide from him, he growls and lunges and tries to bite if reprimanded. And when we put him in his crate for a timeout, he growls and darts into a corner. When we calmly try to get him out of the corner to go to the crate, he growls and barks and bares his teeth and will lunge at us before running intohiscrate.Onceinhiscrate,ifwelookathimor talk to him, he bares his teeth, barks, growls, snaps, lunges and snarls. We have never hit him or punished him in any way other than time out in his crate. My boyfriend and I are now scared of Rowdy and don’t know what to do. We have a puppy and don’t want her to model his behavior. What should we do? I am truly afraid he will bite us. He only acts like this with the rawhide and timeouts -- no other times. The rest of the time he’s his sweet loving self.

You know, Einstein said the definition of in-sanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting different results. First on the to-do list: Rid your house of those rawhides! It’s not going to hurt Rowdy to go without rawhides until he learns to let go of them, and you are likely to get hurt if you don’t cut off his supply. The next thing on that list you’ve already done: acknowledge that you are in over your head. Rowdy is warning you with every tool in his belt -- barking, snarling, growling, baring his teeth, lung-ing at you -- that he is going to bite you if you don’t alter your approach. This situation begs for profes-sional intervention for two reasons:

1) Rowdy is a danger to you and others. 2) You have a new puppy, and you don’t want two Rowdys on your hands.

A professional trainer -- who specializes in aggression -- will work with Rowdy to eliminate the problem behaviors, and will work with you to un-derstand the root cause and modify your approach to Rowdy so you get the results you want. Depend-ing on the dog and the dedication of the dog owner,

Six-year-old Melissa was asked to give thanks at Sunday dinner and proceeded to thank God for each family member at the table. She then

began to give thanks for the food, naming each and every item as her family patiently waited. After a long silence, she leaned to her mother and whispered, “If I thank God for the Brussels

sprouts, won’t he know that I’m lying?”

Fat and Fitness Can Coexist With Right Habits In many states, the percentage of adults classified as obese is over 30 percent of the popu-lation and rising. These people have a body mass index (BMI) above 30, which is calculated by dividing weight in pounds by the squared height in inches and multiplying the result by 703. Numerous charts are available that make it possible for anyone to determine if he or she falls within the obese category; if that person is over-weight but not obese (BMI of more than 25 and less than 30); or at the ideal weight (BMI between 19 and 24). Studies estimate that 50 percent of the American population is either overweight or obese. Referred to as the No. 1 health threat facing us, obesity increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, many cancers and severe osteoarthritis that can lead to disability due to back and joint pain. Now comes some good news about obe-sity. A recent report published in the journal Ap-plied Physiology, Nutrition and Metabolism used a tool called the Edmonton Obesity Staging System, EOSS, that grades obesity on whether the person has significant diseases such as heart disease or cancer. The EOSS grades on a range from 0 to 4, with those having grades of 2-3 having moderated coexisting conditions and between 0 and 1 as being healthy. The study followed 6,000 obese Ameri-cans from 1987 to 2001 and compared their risk of dying to 20,000 people who were in the ideal weight range. Obese people who had grades of 2 or 3 were 1.6 times more likely to die from any cause. However, those with grades 0 and 1 with no significant health problems were no more likely to die than normal-weight people. In fact, their risk of

heart disease deaths was, if anything, lower. These people were more likely to exercise, eat right, not smoke and see their physicians more regularly. In other words, if you are fit and fat you will do just fine. Overweight people with high self-esteem, who feel strong and beautiful in their larger bodies, who exercise, eat right and are regularly screened for underlying medical conditions do even better than skinny people with poor health habits. Many of us struggle to lose weight. Diets fail and weight loss is frequently regained with a vengeance. And because weight is affected by so many factors, including the way our brain functions, eating habits, stress and genetics, this informa-tion offers hope for many failed overweight dieters. Remember the importance of a healthful lifestyle. Understand that obesity carries an increased risk of many serious diseases. Annual checkups are essential up to age 50 and thereafter, may be needed more frequently. Any underlying medical condition must be taken seriously and appropriately treated to avoid life-threatening illnesses. Many overweight people use the “too” excuse to avoid exercise, the single most important key to a longer life expectancy. I am too hot, too cold, too big, too sick, too busy, too embarrassed or too breathless to exercise. There is always an exercise that is right for you. Now another seminal study published in The Lancet examined the exercise habits of more than 400,000 Taiwanese men and women between 1996 and 2008. Encouragingly, as little as 15 minutes daily of moderate exercise (a brisk walk) reduced the risk of death by 14 percent when com-pared to a group who were totally sedentary. More vigorous exercise only reduced the risk of death by a further 4 percent. The benefits of a little exercise applied to every age group, both sexes and in those with a history of heart disease. This is really good news for the overeating, self-indulgent and sedentary American population. The solution is not that hard. Focusing only on diet-ing is the biggest mistake we can make. No matter how hard we try, once a diet fails, we become dis-heartened and return to the more comfortable role of being a couch potato. Instead, be happy and feel good about yourself. Eat right and exercise and no matter your weight, you will live happily ever after.

most behavioral problems can be eradicated or at least controlled -- i.e., if Rowdy’s problem is truly lim-ited to rawhide, no more rawhide! A professional trainer will also demonstrate the concept of crate training. It may be too late for Rowdy to ever truly love a crate, but it’s not too late for your new puppy. A crate should be a safe haven for a dog, not a place of punishment. And it is possible that your new pup -- happy, socialized and properly trained -- could be the model of new and good behaviors for Rowdy. Just because Rowdy was there first doesn’t mean he calls the shots -- or even wants to. You call the shots, and a good trainer will show you how to call them so that your dogs not only respond to you, but also love you for it. Woof!

Coffee Tastes Best with Tidbits!

Quick-and-Dirty Social Security As my longtime readers know, I usually answer only one or two questions in each column. That’s because most Social Security rules are so complicated, and I try to cover as many “ifs, ands or buts” as possible in my answers. That inevitably limits the number of topics I can handle in any one column. But today, I’m going to give quick-and-dirty answers to as many questions as possible.

Q: My husband is 72. I’m turning 62. Can I take benefits as a wife on his record now and switch to my own full Social Security at age 66?

A: No. If you take reduced Social Security benefits on any record, that reduction carries over to any other benefits you might be due. (FYI: that rule does not apply to widows.) So at 62, you will probably just get reduced benefits on your own Social Security account. However, if you wait until age 66, then you can take benefits as a dependent wife on your hus-band’s record and later, at age 70, switch to full ben-efits on your own -- benefits that would come with an extra 32 percent delayed retirement bonus.

Q: In a prior column, you wrote that only people who have worked and paid taxes into Social Security can get benefits. But my mother is getting Social Security widow’s ben-efits, and she never worked a day in her life! Please explain.

A: In that prior column, I should have writ-ten: You get Social Security benefits only if you have worked and paid taxes into the system, or if you are the dependent spouse or child of someone who has.

Q: In a recent column, a woman who wrote that she was getting about $850 per month from Social Security said she could get an extra $100 per month from SSI. I get

only about $800 per month in Social Security, I checked with my Social Security office, and they said I don’t qualify for SSI, because my income is too high. What’s going on?

A: The woman who asked me about her eligibility for Supplemental Security Income lives in a different state than you do. SSI is a welfare program, and the eligibility rules vary from one state to anoth-er. You live in a cheap state with very low income-eligibility rules. The other woman simply lives in a more generous state. I guess you could either move or try to talk your very conservative governor and state legislators to pony up more money for folks like you. Good luck with that one!

Q: I’m 65 years old. I was married to my first husband for 27 years. I’ve been mar-ried to my second husband for 10 years. My first husband just died. Can I get any of his So-cial Security?

A: As long as you’re married to your sec-ond husband, you aren’t due any Social Security ben-efits from husband number one. But if your second marriage ends (by either death or divorce), then you would become eligible for divorced widow’s benefits from your first husband. Or you could get widow’s benefits from your second husband. Or you could get your own Social Security. Of those three options, you would be paid from the record that gives you the highest rate.

Q: I’m getting widow’s benefits from Social Security. I’m 71 years old. I’ve been see-ing a man for a couple of years, and he wants to get married. I told him no, because I would lose my Social Security. Was this the right answer?

A: I have no idea if “yes” or “no” was the right answer to his marriage proposal. But I can tell you that the “no” you gave him was based on incor-rect information. You will not lose your Social Secu-rity widow’s benefits if you remarry. A woman who remarries after age 60 can keep her widow’s benefits from her first husband, even though she’s married to another man.

Q: My current husband and I have been married for eight years. We’re both in our 70s. He’s in very poor health. I was told that if

he dies, I won’t get any of his Social Security, because we haven’t been married for at least 10 years. Is this true?

A: No, it’s not true. The 10-year-duration-of-marriage rule applies only to divorced women. A woman who is divorced must have been married to her ex-husband for at least 10 years to claim any kind of benefits on his Social Security record. But because you are currently married to your husband, that 10-year rule doesn’t apply. There is a one-year-duration-of-marriage rule, but you’re already seven years beyond that, so you’re OK.

Q: I plan to retire at age 58. I know I can’t take my Social Security until I’m 62. My current annual statement that I get from Social Security says my age-62 benefit will be about $1,500 per month. Can I count on getting that four years from now?

A: Not quite that much. That estimate as-sumes you’re going to keep working until age 62. But you’ll be retiring at 58. In other words, there will be four fewer years of recent earnings on your Social Security record -- which in turn means your monthly benefit won’t be quite as high as currently antici-pated. You can go to SocialSecurity.gov and click on the benefit calculators. Indicate there that you’ll be retiring at age 58, and you’ll get a revised retirement estimate. Wow -- seven questions and answers in one column. That’s a new record for me!

A New Way to Do CPR When it comes to saving a life, how far would you go? Almost all of us are familiar with CPR and know that it stands for Cardio-Pulmonary Resusci-tation. It is a method universally used to restart a heart that has stopped functioning, and it always is a life or death situation. CPR involves lot of hard work pumping a patient’s chest, alternating with another person to force air into the lungs and counting breaths. It is exhausting for the one administering it, but of course, it’s a worthwhile effort. Many of us have taken CPR classes at one time or another and have learned how to do it. Unfortunately, far too many people won’t even try to administer CPR for one main reason: They are hesitant to give mouth-to-mouth resusci-tation. Now there’s an alternative to standard Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation. It’s called Con-tinuous Chest Compressions CPR, or Cardio-cerebral Resuscitation. Because it doesn’t involve any mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, one person can do it alone. This relatively simple, hands-only tech-nique can double a heart-attack victim’s chances of survival. The new method focuses on keeping blood pumping through the heart and to the brain (notice the “cerebral” part of the name), which is crucial for the survival of the victim. It doesn’t do much good if you get the heart started but the brain has been without blood for too long. If you’re interested in learning this tech-nique, there are three steps before you begin. First, Go online to www.heart.arizona.edu, and you’ll find a link right on the front page. Watch the video. Step two is to ask your doctor if you should learn this technique to use on anyone in your fam-ily who might have a heart condition, or on anyone else. Step three is to find a class in your commu-nity. While viewing the video is better than nothing, participating in a hands-on class is the best way to learn it properly for something this serious.

Questions About Shingles Vaccine DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 59-year-old female who had a severe case of chickenpox as a child. It has been recommended that I get a shingles vaccination after my 60th birthday.However, my husband never had chickenpox, and I have a 1-month-old granddaughter. Are my husband and granddaughter at risk for be-coming infected when I get the vaccine? -- J.Z.

ANSWER: The shingles vaccine Zostavax contains live but weakened virus. Transmission of the vaccine virus from someone who just received it is theoretically possible, but actually is a rare event. Your husband’s chances of catching the vaccine vi-rus are close to zero. Although your husband says he never had chickenpox, 99 percent of adults bear evidence in their blood that they did have childhood chickenpox. Many of these people have no recollection of being sick. That might be because the infection was so mild that they never knew they were infected. Fur-thermore, all adults, whether they remember they had chickenpox or not, are urged to have the vaccine after their 60th birthday. Your husband can get the shot along with you. As far as your 1-month-old grandchild goes, her chance of catching the virus from a recently im-munized person is small. However, you can eliminate the risk completely by waiting to have your immu-nization until your granddaughter gets her chicken-pox immunization at 12 months; you don’t have to be immunized on the day you turn 60. Or you can be immunized before your granddaughter gets her chickenpox vaccine, and then wait to hold her and care for her for two or three weeks after you have the shot.

Shingles is the bane of older people. The booklet on this illness describes it in detail and how it is treated. Readers can order a copy by writing: Dr. Donohue -- No. 1201W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Can. with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery. *** DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 78-year-old woman with a torn rotator cuff and arthritis in my left shoulder. My doctor says nothing can be done short of a complete shoulder replace-ment. Is this true? Should I get a second opin-ion? -- E.W.

ANSWER: The rotator cuff is a “cuff” (much like shirt cuff) of four tendons that arise from four back muscles. Those tendons swing around the shoulder joint to hold it in place. Small rotator-cuff tears heal on their own. Large tears require surgi-cal correction. Some tears call for shoulder joint replacement, especially when the joint itself is ar-thritic. More than 23,000 Americans will have their shoulder joints replaced this year. Almost all will have gratifying results. They’ll be able to move their shoulder without pain. The shoulder has an excel-lent blood supply, so healing this joint is much faster than healing a knee or hip replacement. Further-more, the shoulder, unlike the knee or hip, doesn’t have to support body weight, another point in its fa-vor. A second opinion is always worthwhile. If the second doctor agrees that you need a new joint, I say go for it. ***Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible.

Caution is Key to Future Retirees Q: My husband and I both have careers. We plan to sell our home and retire to an active retirement community in about two years. Luckily, we have experienced only minimal financial losses in the stock market. Do you have a retirement checklist to guide our future?

A: Take time to check out as many retirement communities as possible before making your final choice. Explore different states and climates if you can. The more knowledge you have, the wiser will be your decision. During your visits, talk to as many local townsfolk and current community residents as possible. You will learn a great deal about the general atmosphere and social climate of the community. Find out about whether reserve funds are low and if new assess-ments are forthcoming. Count on regular increases in the HOA fees. They are unavoidable. Looking ahead, try to pinpoint a specific moving date. Based on today’s economic uncertainties, you might consider waiting a bit longer to retire so you can get a better fix on which direction our economy -- be it inflation or deflation -- is headed. Given extra time, your current home could increase in value. Budget for increases in taxes, insurance, health care, and transportation. Assuming you have an estate plan, review and watch for any changes to the tax code made by Congress. If there have been new grandchildren or divorces in the family, you might want to update your will. Choosing Social Security startup dates can be a bit of a crapshoot. For example, if you both qualify for individual Social Security benefits, you and your husband might want to stagger your payment startup dates. Are you insured for long-term health care? Coverage becomes extremely valuable in the event either of you is faced with a serious or long-term illness. Even if it doesn’t pay the full cost, it helps cover the some of the bills, which can run high. You’re on the right track. Plan carefully! * * *

Q: Our grandson is 17, and a wonder-

ful young man. However, we have observed that he lives day by day without a schedule or goal for the next day. He rarely plans or even thinks about tomorrow. He just lets things happen. We believe it is time for his wake-up call. How can we encourage him to think about his future?

A: Discuss with him the advantages of hav-ing a plan. Writing a daily ‘to do” list is a good start. Another effective technique is to suggest he volun-teer by teaching younger students how to do sports, or some other activity he knows something about. This will give him some direction to pursue in his daily activities. Suggest to his parents that they become more involved with his peers and encourage them to hang out in their home. Being friendly and getting snatches of information on what they talk about of-fers hints for motivating him. There is a common bond between grandpar-ents and grandchildren. Sharing your background and experiences on how it was for you is valuable information. Although it may seem they do not care a lot, they later learn to appreciate how important fam-ily traditions have impacted their lives. Defining a purpose determines resolve, re-silience and attitude. Communicate to him how im-portant it is to set goals and associate with positive individuals, and to find a career passion. Life is similar to a chess game. Winners are the players who can plan ahead and anticipate moves. Grandparents teach love, patience, grateful-ness, financial wisdom, forgiveness and caring. That is the grandparent’s job -- pass it on!

● On Sept. 22, 1598, English playwright Ben Jonson is indicted for manslaughter af-ter a duel. He was very nearly hanged, but his ability to read and write saved him. He claimed “benefit of clergy,” which allowed him to be sentenced by the lenient ecclesiastical courts. Jonson was as famous in his time as Shakespeare.

● On Sept. 21, 1866, H.G. Wells, pioneer of science fiction, is born in Bromley, England. In 1895, he published his classic novel “The Time Machine,” about a man who journeys to the future. The book was a success, as was “The War of the Worlds” (1898).

● On Sept. 20, 1881, Chester Arthur be-comes third president to serve in one year. The year began with Rutherford B. Hayes in office. Hayes served out his term and turned over the reins to James A. Garfield. Four months later, Garfield was shot by an assas-sin but did not die until Sept. 19. Vice Presi-dent Arthur was then sworn in as president.

● On Sept. 24, 1890, faced with the emi-nent destruction of their church and way of life, Mormon leaders reluctantly issue the “Mormon Manifesto” in which they command all Latter-day Saints to uphold the laws of the nation and abandon polygamy.

● On Sept. 23, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt is forced to defend his dog’s honor and his own reputation. Critics had circulated a story claiming that Roosevelt had acciden-tally left Fala behind while visiting the Aleu-tian Islands earlier that year. They accused the president of sending a Navy destroyer, at taxpayer expense of up to $20 million, to go back and pick up the dog.

● On Sept. 19, 1957, the United States detonates a 1.7 kiloton nuclear weapon in an underground tunnel in Nevada. The test was part of a series of 29 nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons safety tests known as Op-eration Plumbbob.

● On Sept. 25, 1981, Sandra Day O’Connor becomes the first female U.S. Supreme Court justice in history when she is sworn in by Chief Justice Warren Burger. After gradu-ating from Stanford law school in the early 1950s, no law firm in California would hire her because she was a woman.

Porringer Bowls Over Collector Q: The pewter dish in this photo be-longed to my mother. It is 5 inches in diameter and 1 3/4 inches deep. Marked on the bottom are the letters “web” and the number “1176.” I would never part with it, but would like to know what was it used for, who made it and if it has any value.

A: You have a porringer. Porringers were used in Colonial times to serve porridge. Those made by Paul Revere are very famous and desirable. Web Silver Co., located in Philadelphia, Pa., made yours. They were founded around 1950 and are still in busi-ness. Web made both pewter and sterling objects. The number “1176” is a design number. Your porringer was made in the mid 20th century and would probably be worth $25 to $50.

Q: I have enclosed a photo of the mark that is on the bottom of my Irish Belleek cream pitcher. The pitcher stands almost 4 inches tall and is decorated with an embossed pattern of grapes, vines and a man’s face. It is in perfect condition. What can you tell me about the vintage and value of my pitcher?

A: Irish Belleek has been made in County Fermanagh, Ireland, since 1857. The company was founded by David McBurney and Robert Armstrong. Mask is the name of the pattern and many identify it as the face of the god of wine, Bacchus. There is a matching open sugar bowl and teapot. Belleek has used 14 marks. Over the years, the marks have ap-peared in a variety of colors including black, green, blue and gold. Your mark is the 5th green mark and was used from 1955 to 1965. Seashells, seahorses, dolphins, shamrocks and Celtic designs have been some of the most popular motifs. Your circa 1955 pitcher would probably be worth $65 to $75.

Q: Around 30 years ago, I bought a J & P Coats wood spool cabinet. It has 6 drawers all with black mushroom wood pulls. The drawers are marked from top to bottom: “J & P Coats, Spool Cotton, Assorted Colors, White, Black and Best Six Cord.” Each drawer is 2 inches deep and the overall measurements of the cabi-

net are approximately 15 by 19 inches. The wood appears to be cherry and has the original finish. I don’t remember how much I paid for it and would like to know its current value.

A: Spool cabinets continue to be popular with collectors. Your circa 1890 cabinet can be found selling in antiques shops at $1000 and up. Address your questions to Anne McCollam, P. O. Box 247, Notre Dame, IN 46556. Items of a general interest will be answered in this column. Due to the volume of inqui-ries, she cannot answer individual letters.

Square Up Your Finish with Better Balance

Many golfers out there have a difficult time finishing theirswings in balance. It is tough for them to “strike a pose” andhold their finish. This is often a result a poor balance.As discussed in previous articles, the key to making better swings is understanding how the body is designed on a gridand in eight sockets; two shoulder, hips, knees and ankles.Keeping these sockets stacked in relation to each other is what keeps the body in balance and when the body is inbalance it makes it easier to keep the rotation of the swingmoving through to a balanced finish. Notice in the photo how I am in perfect balance as I am holding my finish; my shoulders are balanced on top of myhips, which are balanced on top of my knees and on top of my feet. I also have both shoulders level to each other as well as the hips and knees. As you can see on the screen inthe distance, my body is basically on a grid that shows me what perfect balance feels like.Many times higher handicappers struggle into a balancedfinish because their shoulders have rotated off their hips in the forward swing or they have swiveled their knees out fromunder their hips. As soon as the body feels this loss of balance it will stop the rotation and the arms and hands willneed to flip the club through impact resulting in a mishit. Teaching with Motion Analysis Technology, as seen in the photo with the sensors on my body and image on the screenin the background, gives me the exact data to measure myangles in my swing. I can see on the monitor where perfectbalance is as I hold my finish, therefore train my body to repeat perfect balance on a more consistent basis. Thisexact data gives me and the student greater clarity andprecision in making the necessary adjustments to create a faster more effective result. If you would like to experienceMotion Analysis Technology to improve your swing, give me a call.

Square up your finish withbetter balance Many golfers have a difficult time finishing their swings in balance. It’s hard for them to “strike a pose” and hold their finish. This is often a result of poor body balance throughout their swing. The key to finding the problems causing im-balance is to study the four pairs of sockets that function in the process of the swing: the shoulders, hips, knees and ankles. Keeping these sockets in the properly “stacked” relationship to each other results in a naturally smooth swing and a balanced finish. Notice in the photo how I am in perfect balance as I hold my finish: Shoulders are aligned above the hips, the hips above the knees, and the knees above the feet. Notice, too, that all of these socket points are level. The projected image on the screen grid enables me to as-sociate the sensations I feel in a balanced swing with what I can see my body doing. When many high handicap-pers swing, they allow their shoulders to rotate off their hips, or the knees to move away from under the hips. When the body senses this loss of balance in the natural rotation of the swing it often results in a mishit ball. The use of Motion Analysis Technology (MAT), as shown in the photo, uses sensors to show the exact angles of these key body points in the swing motion. This visual method is highly useful in allow-ing both student and instructor to quickly see where adjustments need to be made. I have found MAT to be one of my most effective teaching methods.
