WHERE DID 2010 GO? (Continued)

• The fi rst Olympic Winter Games were in Chamonix, France, in 1924. The Canadian hockey team outscored their opponents 110 to 3, winning fi ve matches and the gold medal. Canada won the gold in the following three winter Olympics, and settled for the silver in 1936. Since then, Canada’s hockey dominance has waned even though the popularity of hockey remains strong among the Canadian people. Prior to 2010, Canada’s most recent hockey gold was in 2002 in Salt Lake City, and that win followed a 50-year gold medal drought. In 2010, however, at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada had a chance to win hockey gold on Canadian soil. In one of the most exciting games in hockey history, Canada defeated the USA 3-2 in overtime to win the gold medal. There were many other great Olympic moments, but considering how much Canadians love hockey, this was a colossal victory for them.• Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, is famous for its golf courses and “island paradise” beauty. The island is also notable for the number of alligators in its lagoons and waterways. In July 2010, three ‘gator wrestlers and a truck pulled an 11-foot-long (3.4 meters), 500-pound (226.8-kilograms) behemoth from a lagoon. So, you may want to keep your eyes open while riding or walking around the island’s many lagoons.• We’ve all heard that “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend.” The huge 105-carat Koh-i-Noor diamond has been part of the British Crown Jewels for about 150 years. When Prime Minister David Cameron was asked this year by Indian offi cials to return the diamond to India where it originated, he refused. He said it will “stay put.” (This question has been asked many times before and answered the same way!) • Do you remember listening to news reporters trying to pronounce “Eyjafjallajökull” last spring? (It is pronounced AY-uh-full-ay-ho-kul, just so you know!) This was the volcano in Iceland that spewed ash and grounded fl ights going into and out of Europe. (The last eruption of the volcano on the Eyjafjallajökull glacier was 189 years ago.) Flight disruptions in Europe cascaded around the globe and eventually affected approximately fi ve million passengers. The volcano caused the biggest fl ight disruption since World War II. The bad news was that many people had problems getting where they wanted or needed to be…The good news? No airplanes went down because of the natural disaster. • Nebraska and Kansas have held the records for large hailstones for years. The heaviest on record

was 1.67 pounds (0.76 kg) for a stone that fell in Coffeyville, Kansas, in 1970. The largest stone diameter on record was 7 inches (17.8 cm) for a 2003 hailstone in Aurora, Nebraska. Both records were shattered by a giant hailstone found in Vivian, South Dakota, on July 23, 2010. It was 8 inches (20.3 cm) in diameter and weighed 1.94 pounds (0.88 kg). The ranch hand who found it said it was larger but had melted some by the time it was checked by authorities. .• A natural occurrence of a totally different kind was when a “cute” purple octopus was found by a team of Canadian and Spanish researchers off the coast of Newfoundland in July 2010. It is one of 11 possible new species found in the deep-sea expedition. They used a remotely operated vehicle that journeyed to a maximum depth of 9,800 feet (3000 m). Doesn’t it make you wonder what else is undiscovered?• For the superstitious, 2010 should have been a good year, with only one Friday the 13th, which occurred in August. Friggatriskaidekaphobia and paraskavedekatriaphobia both mean “fear of Friday the 13th.” Hopefully you don’t suffer from this malady – mainly because the long words are extremely hard to pronounce!• The world’s largest oil spill occurred in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The BP (British Petroleum) well released almost fi ve million barrels of oil. Compared to the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska in 1989, this spill released 10 times more oil. The Exxon Valdez spill had previously been the worst in American history. The BP spill also surpassed the 3.3 million barrels spilled off the eastern coast of Mexico in 1979, which had been the world’s largest oil spill. • In more sports news: The Colorado Rockies dazzled baseball fans with a record-setting 12-run eighth inning to defeat the Chicago Cubs 17-2 on July 30, 2010. • Due to the ongoing economic recession, the year 2010 saw the closure of Coastal Community Bank in Panama City Beach, Florida. This closure, which included the incorporation of Apalachicola State Bank, occurred July 30, 2010. Apalachicola State Bank started as a branch of Tallahassee’s Capital City Bank in 1897 and was incorporated in 1906. More than a century of service has now gone away. • With old banks and other things going by the wayside, new technologies and new ways popped up in 2010. Blackberry picking may mean it’s time for a new phone instead of selecting juicy berries; an Android is not a fantasy of the future but of toady; and an iPhone will make your head spin with its selection of apps. (That would be “applications!”) What will 2011 bring?

So you’re heading out to the big holiday party, and you’re planning to have a few drinks, whether it’s beer, wine or harder stuff, and maybe some champagne at midnight on New Year’s Eve, too. There’s nothing wrong with that, as long as you don’t overdo it. Unfortunately, too many people will overdo it and fi nd themselves waking up on New Year’s Day with a splitting headache and a queasy stomach. For those folks, the bad news is that while myths about hangover “cures” abound, there isn’t a single one that has been scientifi cally proven to work, said James C. Garbutt, M.D., a professor of psychiatry in the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine. “The most important message I would emphasize is that people shouldn’t drink too much in the fi rst place,” said Garbutt, who specializes in alcoholism treatment and research. “A hangover is one negative consequence of excess alcohol consumption, but there are many others, including accidents, which can be serious, loss of control over emotions such as anger or sadness, and bad decision-making exemplifi ed by the classic offi ce party gone wrong.” In addition, it’s worth noting that drinking too much in a single night can result in fatal alcohol poisoning. In other words, you literally can drink yourself to death. If someone passes out after heavy drinking, that’s a serious medical emergency and the person should be taken to the hospital right away, Garbutt said. That being said, there are steps you can take to enjoy a few drinks and prevent getting a hangover. “Eating food is an important element in reducing drinking and reducing the risk of

intoxication,” Garbutt said. Eat a meal before you take your fi rst sip of alcohol, he advises, and continue to take in food as the night wears on. Food, fats especially, help slow down the body’s absorption of alcohol. But to truly be effective, the food must be in your stomach fi rst. If you wait until you’re feeling buzzed or tipsy to start eating, it’s already too late. Another good way to pace yourself: After fi nishing a drink with alcohol, drink a glass of water before your next round. This will both dilute the concentration of alcohol in your blood and help prevent dehydration, Garbutt said. And if you ignore this advice and end up with a hangover anyway, there are some things you can do that, while not a cure, will aid in your recovery. For example, taking two ibuprofen just before you go to bed and then again when you wake up will help reduce your headache pain. But it’s best to avoid aspirin, because alcohol can aggravate gastritis, and aspirin can increase risk of gastric erosion and bleeding. “Put the two together and there might be increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding,” Garbutt said. You also should avoid acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, because in some people taking this drug while alcohol is in their system can cause serious liver damage. Rehydration is very important, Garbutt said. Drinking a sports drink, such as Gatorade, will help both rehydrate you and replace salt and other electrolytes lost through the increased urination that drinking alcohol causes. What about those hangover “cures” we’ve all heard about? Coffee? Doesn’t help. Hair of the dog that bit you (i.e., drinking one more round of whatever caused your hangover)? All that does is delay the start of your recovery. Eating a big, greasy bacon and egg breakfast, or any other legendary “morning after” meal? It might’ve helped ... if you’d eaten it before you started drinking.

Look up the word impulsive in the dictionaryand prepare to see my face. I have fi ve bigbags of chocolate chips in my freezer toprove it. They are the ghosts of Christmasespast when my plans exceeded my availabletime.Have I also mentioned the two containers of candied fruit that I picked up the year I knewI’d have all kinds of time to make fruitcake?They have to be at least seven years old bynow and curiously show absolutely no signof becoming stale.Many supermarkets put baking supplieson sale starting about Thanksgiving and continuing through Christmas. Given thegrim predictions that infl ation has already

begun to send food prices higher, you should consider stocking up now when the price is right. So, how long will this stuff last if you decide to buy enough for the year? It all depends on the item and if you have the space to store it properly.Baking soda. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place; good for two years unopened, six months opened.Brown sugar. Store in freezer, and use within six months, opened or unopened.Butter. Salted butter is good up to fi ve months refrigerated. Unsalted butter has a short shelf life of about three months in the refrigerator. Butter can be frozen for around six months.Canned evaporated milk. Store unopened for up to six months. After this time, it will not turn sour, but it will turn yellow and lose its fl avor.Chocolate chips. Store at room temperature;18-24 months unopened, one year if opened.Flour. Store in freezer. Unopened fl our lasts for up to a year; opened, six to eight months. Whole wheat fl our is good for up to a year unopened, but use within six months if opened so the oil doesn’t dry out.

Granulated sugar. Store in cool, dry place; good for two years unopened; use within six months if opened.Corn syrup. ACH Food Companies, Inc., the company that manufactures Karo syrup, says it is safe for consumption for an indefi nite period of time whether it has been opened or not. Light corn syrup may turn slightly yellow with age, but this is normal and not harmful.Marshmallow creme. Up to four months unopened; store in refrigerator once opened and use within two months.Marshmallows. Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dry place; good for three months.Powdered sugar. Store in a cool, dry place (not the refrigerator); good for eighteen months unopened.Pure vanilla extract. Store at room temperature; as long as it is pure, it has an indefi nite shelf life. In fact, it even gets better with age.Raisins. Up to three years stored at temperatures up to 80 F. Can be refrigerated.Spices, ground. Store in a cool, dry place for two to three years.

Sweetened condensed milk. Store in acool, dry place; good for one year unopened;invert can every two months.I am still searching for information oncandied fruit. So far I can fi nd no indicationthat it will ever spoil or change in qualityor texture.

▲ To make a bottle of travel nail-polishremover, start with a clean fi lm canister or airtight medicine bottle. Stuff it with a foamhair roller (with a hole in the middle) that’s cut to fi t the bottle. Saturate the foam with nail-polish remover. To use, just stick one fi nger at a time down in the hole in the roller. Movefi nger up and down to “scrub” the polish off.This works really well.

The Grand Ole Opry is not a person that is a music legend but rather a legendaryshow. Many musicians have contributed to the history of the Opry, which hasbeen in existence since 1925 after starting as a radio show in Nashville,Tennessee.• The National Life and Accident Insurance Company started a radiostation in Nashville in 1925, fi ve yearsafter commercial radio started in theUnited States. It began as a publicservice, but the main goal was toadvertise their insurance policies. Thecall letters for the station, WSM stood for “We Shield Millions.” WSM hired George D. Hay, who was the most popular radio announcer in the countryat the time, having been on WSL-AMin Chicago and WMC-AM in Memphis.Originally Hay’s weekly show wascalled the WSM Barn Dance, but hechanged the name to the Grand OleOpry in 1927.• Hay’s weekly program was so popular that the show was moved severaltimes to accommodate the crowds eager to attend the live broadcasts. Throughthe years it was held at HillsboroTheater near Vanderbilt University,Dixie Tabernacle in East Nashville, War Memorial Auditorium and then RymanAuditorium in 1943. The Opry remained at the Ryman until 1974, when it moved to the current location, the Grand OleOpry House. It has now been at the OpryHouse for 36 years. • The Opry has been called “the show that made country music famous.”The show also put Nashville on the mapfor tourism where it is the city’s No. 1tourist attraction. Along with the OpryHouse, owner Gaylord Entertainment

now operates a large hotel in the samearea.• Many country music stars have performed at the Grand Ole Opry.Names like Roy Acuff, Patsy Cline,the Carter Family, Bill Monroe, Ernest Tubb, Loretta Lynn, Minnie Pearl and many more made the Opry what it is today. When today’s new stars areinvited to perform, they literally stand on a part of the old Ryman Auditoriumstage. A circle of the dark oak wood wascut from the Ryman stage and installed at the new Opry home when it opened in 1974. Performers say it is a magicalmoment to stand on the fl oor where somany stood in the past. Some of therecent inductees into the Opry to gracethe stage include Vince Gill, MartinaMcBride, Brad Paisley, Ricky Skaggsand Carrie Underwood. The younger generation is just as thrilled to playat the Opry as the audience is to hear them.• In May 2010, fl ooding in Nashville inundated the Grand OleOpry House. During restoration, theOpry performances were moved back to the Ryman Auditorium. Remember,the “Opry” itself is not the building, but the show and the show continued!• One interesting bit of Opry trivia concerns GooGoo Clusters, made bythe Standard Candy Company, founded in 1901. Standard Candy uses milk chocolate, peanuts, marshmallows and caramel to make the famous confection.One story of the candy’s origin saysthat “GOO” stands for Grand Ole Opry,but that is not the real story. Howard Campbell, the inventor, told fellowstreetcar riders of his baby son’s fi rst words, and a teacher onboard suggested that Mr. Campbell name his delicioustreat “GooGoo,” saying that it wasso good people would ask for it frombirth!

■ On Dec. 26, 1606, William S h a k e s p e a r e ’s play “King Lear” is performed at the court of King James I of England. S h a k e s p e a r e ’s

plays were not published during his lifetime. After his death, two members of his troupe collected copies of his plays and printed what is now called the First Folio (1623).

■ On Dec. 24, 1809, Christopher Houston “Kit” Carson, celebrated hero of the American West, is born in Richmond, Ky. Although he spent much of his life fi ghting Indians, Carson apparently had great sympathy and respect for them -- in 1867 he became the Superintendent of Indian Affairs for Colorado Territory.

■ On Dec. 25, 1914, just after midnight on Christmas morning, the majority of German troops engaged in World War I cease fi re and commence to sing Christmas carols. The soldiers of Germany, Russia, France and Britain exchanged presents of cigarettes and plum

puddings and even played a good-natured game of soccer.

■ On Dec. 21, 1945, Gen. George S. Patton, commander of the U.S. 3rd Army, dies from injuries suffered not in battle, but in a freak car accident in Germany. Never diplomatic, Patton once berated and slapped a hospitalized soldier diagnosed with “shell shock,” whom Patton accused of “malingering.”

■ On Dec. 22, 1956, a baby gorilla named Colo enters the world at the Columbus Zoo in Ohio, becoming the fi rst-ever gorilla born in captivity. Her parents had never learned parenting skills, so she was reared by zookeepers. Colo, the oldest living gorilla in captivity, went on to become a mother, a grandmother and a great-grandmother.

■ On Dec. 20, 1963, more than two years after the Berlin Wall was constructed by East Germany to prevent its citizens from fl eeing its communist regime, nearly 4,000 West Berliners are allowed to cross into East Berlin to visit relatives.

■ On Dec. 23, 1982, the Missouri Department of Health and the federal Centers for Disease Control inform

residents of Times Beach, Mo., that their town was contaminated when the chemical dioxin was sprayed on its unpaved roads. The whole town was evacuated and demolished.

■ On Dec. 27, 1941, the federal Offi ce of Price Administration fi rst begins to ration automobile tires. Only those who demonstrated need were allowed to purchase cars, metal typewriters, bicycles, stoves and rubber shoes. Butter, coffee, sugar, cooking fat, gasoline and non-rubber shoes also were rationed.

■ On Dec. 29, 1890, the U.S. Cavalry kills 146 Sioux at Wounded Knee in South Dakota. The cavalry surrounded a band of Ghost Dancers and demanded they surrender their weapons. A brutal massacre followed, with nearly half those killed being women and children.

■ On Jan. 1, 45 B.C., New Year’s Day is celebrated on January 1 for the fi rst time as the Julian calendar takes effect. In designing his new calendar, Roman ruler Julius Caesar enlisted the aid of Sosigenes, an Alexandrian astronomer, who calculated a year to be 365 and 1/4 days. (c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Dance Movements Boost Balance

by Matilda CharlesRemember dance class when we

were kids? Not the social dances or square dance, but the free movement to music? Swiss researchers used those same types of movements with seniors. Specifi cally, they wanted to know whether frail elderly people who already had balance problems would benefi t from Dalcroze Eurhythmics classes. They assembled 134 seniors age 65 and older to participate for six months in clinical trials, while a control group kept on with their usual activities. Classes included just walking to music, then progressing to footwork and upper-body movements. Sometimes they included an object such as a ball. Researchers called this multi-tasking, and believed it would serve to improve balance functions. At the end of the six months, the Dalcroze participants had better balance and walking functions, and only half the risk of a fall. Length of walking gait was more even. When the control group began classes six months later, they also developed the same balance

skills as the fi rst group by the time the classes were over. Six months later the fi rst group was shown to have retained their skills and ability. At this point, researchers don’t seem certain about why it works. Perhaps it has to do with the music and needing to stay in rhythm, which forces us to make certain movements at certain intervals. One scientist called it a “motor-cognitive connection.” That same person recommends ballroom dance for seniors because of the combination of the movement and music. If you’d like to see some of the movements, go to www.dalcroze.org.au and click Eurythmics. Then click Video where it shows excerpts of children. For more examples, go to YouTube.com and put this in the search box: Dalcroze eurhythmics Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

ICE SCULPTURES

Ice sculptures at fancy restaurants, weddings and other special events are fascinating. Using chainsaws, chisels and other tools to impress us with their skills artists create not only myriad sculptures of every imaginable them but also frozen masterpieces tooled intovhuge ice canvasses.• The annual International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival is held in Harbin, China. Harbin is the largest city in northeast China, on the Songhua River. The area has plenty of snow, a very cold climate, and the frozen river provides lots of ice. The festival began in 1985 and opens every January, lasting as long as the weather allows. The sculptures are not ordinary by any means. They include life-size ice buildings that are lit up at night with many different colors, ice slides and more to thrill all ages.• Fairbanks, Alaska, hosted winter carnivals way back in the 1930s that included ice sculpting. In 1989, the winter fun was revived with the Annual World Ice Art Championships. Competitions for single block and multi-block carvings in abstract and realistic sculptures attract ice artists from the world over. Recent years have hosted as

many as 70 teams and 45,000 visitors. The 2011 events will be held from February 22 – March 27. By the non profi t organization Ice Alaska• Some places struggle to have enough ice for an annual competition, but Ice Alaska harvests ice from O’Grady Pond, which is a man-made pond. The pond supplies over 4 million pounds of ice for the championships. Nicknamed "The Arctic Diamond," this ice is exceptionally thick and clear and loved by ice sculptors. It has been shipped to Seattle, Pittsburgh and even as far away as Israel!

Ice Palaces and HotelsIn the cold winter of 1739–1740, Anna Ivanovna gave an order to build a palace made of ice in St. Petersburg. The palace and the surrounding festivities were part of the celebration for Russia's victory over Turkey. The palace was 20 meters tall and 50 meters wide. The garden was fi lled with ice trees with ice birds and an ice statue of an elephant. The outer walls were lined with ice sculptures. In front there were artillery pieces also made of ice. It was also furnished with furniture made of ice, including an ice bed with ice mattress and pillows. The whole structure was surrounded with a wooden fence. Although the appearance of the original ice palace is disputable, it has been rebuilt each year since 2005 in Saint-Petersburg, Russia and is open to the public.

(Continued Pg. 10)

Clairvoyance is a word that is used frequently in a general way. Many people use it to describe a psychic. And for the most part, it’s a fairly good description. The question is, do you really know what the word means?Clairvoyance comes from the combination of two French words, clair, meaning clear and voyance meaning vision. This is also known as having extra sensory perception. The ability to know things without seeing or touching it.Psychics use their gift of clairvoyance the way most people use their gift of smell or of hearing. It’s second nature to them. Daily examples of this would be: knowing the phone is going to ring before it does and frequently also knowing who will be calling; anticipating the needs of their family; making for dinner just exactly what their spouse was hoping for; without anyone telling them in advance.It is not uncommon for a psychic to know something major is going to happen before it does. They don’t always know what is going to happen though. They will frequently just have a feeling of dread or expectation about them. This would be one of the diffi culties of being clairvoyant. It isn’t until the event happens that they understand why they had been feeling this way.It’s during a psychic reading is when clairvoyance is used purposefully. When you are sitting across from your psychic and request to know what information is

out there for you, he or she reaches out with their senses and pulls in the information you are seeking. Most commonly they will see pictures in their head that pop in and mean nothing to them at all. The pictures they are seeing quite possibly will mean something to you.The area on the body where your psychic sees their vision is known as the “third eye” in the psychic world and the “minds eye” in every day terminology. To get an idea of what it’s like, think back to someplace you’ve been in the past. Let’s say the Zoo. If you close your eyes and remember it, you can “see” the animals. You can “feel” what it was like to be there. It’s the same experience for the psychic, except what they are experiencing isn’t anything they have done before. It is something that has to do with you. Perhaps they will see your trip to the zoo and describe it to you.Thank you for your interest and attention. Till next time, stay in touch with yourself, with your life, and with those loved oneswho have moved on.

• The original ICEHOTELin Jukkasjärvi, Sweden, is now open for its 21st season. Starting with 645-square-foot igloo, it is now the world’s largest hotel of ice and snow at about 59,201 square feet. • An overnight stay includes reindeer hides to sleep on (inside cozy sleeping bags with thermal underwear), hot lingonberry juice at your bedside when you awaken, a hot sauna and hot buffet breakfast! The ICEHOTEL also has warm accommodations and recommends combining one night in the cold with nights in the warm rooms. So, if you are looking for some adventure this winter,

join the 50,000 visitors expected at there. It's just a mere 124 miles north of the Arctic Circle. • The Hôtel de Glace in Quebec received its inspiration from the ICEHOTEL. It is the only ice hotel in North America. Built on the shores of Lake St. Joseph each year it will be open this year from January 7-March 27. The temperature in the guest rooms averages about 27ºF but Polar fl eeces and deer skins are provided for warmth. It also contains a disco room, an ice chapel, two art galleries of ice carvings, an ice chandelier and a bar with the furniture and even glasses made of ice! Overnight stays include a heated and lighted bathroom inside the hotel and hot beverages and breakfast.

Let's Not Forget Minnesota'sClaim to Ice Creation Fame

• The year was 2004 and for the

118th year, the people of St. Paul were reveling in winter by holding a citywide celebration. The centerpiece of that year's Winter Carnival was, of course, the ice palace in the middle of downtown.• St. Paul opened its fi rst ice palace in 1886 and historians say it was 14 degrees below zero on that night. Palaces had made periodic appearances since then but the risk of falling ice kept carnival offi cials from letting visitors walk through. This palace however, belonged to a new milennium and was monitored by sensors that continuously reported its temperature and conditions to authorities. It was the fi rst time in more than 60 years that carnival-goers had been able to step into an ice castle. • With a 75-ft. turret at the center of the fi ve-acre palace grounds, twenty-seven thousand blocks of ice covered a steel frame and were wired for a computerized light and sound show occuring every 30 minutes during visiting

hours. There was a skating rink inside and stages with live music. Most of the time spent on the palace's construction was volunteered.• An estimated one million people would pass through this community of ice during the 16 days it existed and millions more would see televised images of the palace on national news programs and the National Hockey League All-Star game was broadcast from the arena across the street.• By the way, the ice palace occupied a site that St. Paul was pushing as a new home for a major league baseball stadium. Sorry, no dice for the nice ice. Nevertheless, "It brought a great deal of attention to St. Paul and showed what a family-friendly city citizens make and how they come together to create and build beautiful things.
