The Empire State Building is a 102-story landmark Art Deco skyscraper in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. It is the 19th tallest building in the world and the first building to contain over 100 floors. When it was built in 1931, it was the tallest building built in the U.S. and the world.
Mexican BBQ Steaks
This ultra-easy (and healthy) steak dish really pleases the men in my fam-ily. Maybe it will in yours, too! 4 (4-ounce) lean tenderized minute or cube steaks 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce 1/2 cup chunky salsa (mild, medium, or hot) Sugar substitute to equal 1 table- spoon sugar, suitable for cooking 2 teaspoons dried onion flakes 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1. In a large skillet sprayed with butter-flavored cook-ing spray, brown meat for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.
2. In a medium bowl, com-bine tomato sauce, salsa, sugar substitute, onion flakes and Worcestershire sauce. Spoon sauce mixture evenly over meat. Lower heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until meat is tender. When serving, evenly spoon sauce over meat. Makes 4 servings.
This delicious homemade corn bread is baked in an oven-safe skillet — pref-erably one that’s heavy-weight, such as cast iron. 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup yellow cornmeal 2 tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 4 tablespoons marga- rine or butter, cold 1 can (8 1/2 ounces) cream style corn 1 large egg, beaten 2 ounces Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno chiles, shredded
1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Grease 10-inch skillet with oven-safe handle.
2. In large bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and black pep-per. With pastry blender or 2 knives used scissor-fashion, cut in margarine or butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. With fork, stir corn, egg and cheese into flour mixture just until blended (batter will be very stiff).
3. Place greased skillet in oven; preheat pan 5 min-utes (to help brown bottom of corn bread). Remove pan from oven; spoon bat-ter into skillet and spread evenly with small metal spatula.
4. Bake corn bread 15 to 20 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and corn bread is just firm to the touch. Cut into 8 wedges and serve warm. Serves 8.

This delicious Southern fish dish is accompanied by collard greens and vitamin-rich black-eyed beans, a combination that is said to bring good luck and finan-cial enrichment. Serve this meal with fresh, hot corn bread on the side. 1 bunch (large, about 1 1/4 pounds) collard greens 1 medium onion Salad oil Salt 1 can (16-ounce) black-eyed beans, drained 1 tablespoon all-pur pose flour 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper 4 (4-ounce) red-snap- per fillets 1 tablespoon lemon juice Lemon slices and parsley sprigs, for garnish
1. Coarsely chop collard greens and onion. In 3-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, in 1 tablespoon hot salad oil, cook onion until tender; add collard greens and 1/2 teaspoon
salt; continue cooking until vegetables begin to brown. Add 1/4 cup water. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 5 minutes or until collard greens are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in black-eyed beans; heat through. Keep warm.
2. On sheet of waxed paper, combine flour, papri-ka, thyme, ground red pep-per, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Press flesh-side of snapper fillets into flour mixture to coat.
3. In nonstick 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, in 1 tablespoon hot salad oil, cook snapper fil-lets 5 to 7 minutes until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning fillets halfway through cooking time. Remove fillets to warm platter. To same skil-let, add lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water; heat to boiling; pour over snapper.
4. To serve, arrange col-lard greens on platter with snapper. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley sprigs. Serves 4.

Chautauqua in the Native American languages translates to: • “bag tied in the middle” - referring to the hour-glass shape of Lake Chautauqua. • “where the fish was taken out” - originating from a legend of a huge muskie being caught, and then leaping out of the boat back into the lake. • “the place of easy death” - from another Native American legend - about a maiden who, after eating a root which caused a terrible thirst, bent down to drink from the waters of the lake and disappeared into its depths - never to be seen again.
Some profess that Chautauqua is of Spanish origins and some say it came from the French. Perhaps we shall never really know its origins.

The beautiful, simple furniture made by the Shaker religious sect in New England was designed so that it could be hung on pegs around the walls. Every evening members of the sect tidied up in this way in case the night should be disturbed suddenly by the Second Coming of the Lord. Only the larger pieces of furniture, such as chests and tables, were left on the floor.
In Persian mythology, wine was discovered when a woman, suffering from a headache, drank the fermented grape juice stored in a jar. She went to sleep, and when she awoke, her headache was cured.
Wine was typically proclaimed the drink of the gods, by Egyptians, Sumerians, and Greeks. Wine was often a part of religious rituals, due to its effects, as well as its symbolism.
The Irish believe that fairies are particularly fond of good wine. In days of old, royalty would leave a keg of wine out for the fairies at night - and by morning, it was always gone.

HOLLYWOOD — Michael Douglas is work-ing nonstop. He went right from filming “Behind the Candelabra” — the Lib-erace bio-pic with Matt Damon for HBO — in Las Vegas, Palm Springs and Los Angeles, right back to Las Vegas for “Last Vegas,” with Robert DeNiro, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline, Mary Steenbur-gen and 50 Cent. The film, which started shooting in November in Vegas and then Atlanta, tells the story of four best friends in their late 60s who throw a bach-elor party in Vegas for the last of them getting mar-ried. It’ll be out December 2013. Sounds a bit familiar ... could there be a “Hang-over” involved?
***Soap fans have exacted
their revenge ... sort of. Just as “The Young and The Restless” was crowned the No. 1 soap for the 24th year in a row, word came that rat-ings of the four remaining soaps — “Y&R,” “Days of Our Lives,” “The Bold and The Beautiful” and “Gen-eral Hospital” — have had a substantial upward spike since ABC canceled “All My Children” and “One Life to Live.” In fact, their
replacements, “The Chew” and “The Revolution,” have not captured good rat-ings. “The Revolution” was quickly canceled to make way for “Katie,” which also has disappointed in the ratings. Oddly enough, “General Hospital’s” rat-
ings have improved despite all the switching around of time slots. Experts are saying that soap fans must realize that their genre is in danger and are tuning in to keep their soaps alive. True or not, if you don’t tune in, they won’t be there any-more!
***
When a film takes in $1 billion at the box office, you can be sure a sequel
won’t be far behind. Disney has hired Linda Woolver-ton, responsible for “The Lion King,” “Beauty and the Beast” and the upcom-ing Angelina Jolie live-action “Sleeping Beauty” epic, “Maleficent,” to write the sequel to the Johnny Depp film “Alice in Won-derland.” The film was based on Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” and the sequel, “Through the Look-ing-Glass,” will, of course, be in 3D again. No word yet if Depp or director Tim Burton will be involved in this one.
Disney also is prep-ping a stage production of “Alice,” as it did with “The Lion King,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Little Mermaid.” Add to these projects the next three “Star Wars” movies (now that Disney has bought the fran-chise from George Lucas), “The Muppets” and “Oz: The Great and Powerful,” starring James Franco as The Wizard, Mila Kunis as the Wicked Witch and Michelle Williams as Glin-da, the Good Witch. “Oz” is due out March 8. It’s a Grimm day when Disney has cornered the market for fairy tales!

Asparagus Quiche (From Diana Rattray) Serve this asparagus quiche for lunch or as a brunch dish. Feel free to cut back on mushrooms or use a little less asparagus if you’d like to add a little ham or leftover turkey.
INGREDIENTS: • 1/2 to 3/4 pound asparagus, trimmed, chopped • water • 2 tablespoons butter • 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms • 4 green onions, with green, thinly sliced • 1 small tomato, peeled, seeded, diced • 1 1/2 cups shredded Havarti cheese or Swiss, about 6 ounces • 4 large eggs • 1 1/2 cups half-and-half or whole milk • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper • dash nutmeg
PREPARATION: In a saucepan, cover asparagus with water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a skillet, heat butter over medium-low heat; add mushrooms. Sauté until mushrooms are tender; add green onions and cook for 1 minute longer. Set aside.

Written by Todd J. Tranum, President & CEO of the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce & Executive
Director of the Manufacturers Association of the Southern TierFor the past thirteen years I have had the pleasure and
honor to work with a wide variety of businesses and organizations throughout our region. Along this journey I have met some exceptional people who work in some extraordinary organizations. Each walk through the door of a business always reveals something new about its products or services, how it operates, a specific issue it is facing or a new opportunity it is embracing. As we enter a new year the Chamber of Commerce and Manufacturers Association are taking this opportunity to reflect on our own accomplishments and lessons learned in prior years, setting the foundation for the year ahead.
Our organizations and the people involved in them are uniquely positioned to make significant positive change within our communities and to drive regional progress. Over one hundred volunteers spend several thousand hours each year working on boards, committees and specific projects of the Chamber of Commerce and MAST. It is these volunteers in concert with our management team who are helping make our region an even better place by enhancing our business environment as a means of encouraging growth and development. It is the spirit of these volunteers and the hard work of our team that makes me look forward to 2013 and the coming years as there is so much opportunity ahead of us.
There are hundreds of specific examples of how these groups of people enhance our communities, yet I will highlight a select few. One of our objectives is to drive more foot traffic into local businesses. Through the work of six community Chambers of Commerce that are part of the County Chamber over one hundred events are coordinated throughout the County. These activities bring people into the communities and bring exposure to businesses in those communities.
A second objective of our organization is to help members increase sales. This year the Chamber and Manufacturers Association implemented a new customer relations management platform that is improving the ability to find our members on the world-wide web and is increasing referral opportunities for our members. The Chamber operates a gift check program that distributes over one hundred and twenty thousand dollars worth of gift checks among our member businesses per year, an approximate two hundred thousand dollar economic impact on our local economy and a $2.4 million impact since the program began.
A third objective of the organization is to facilitate health insurance options for our members. Ours is a two part strategy of providing our members with the best possible insurance options and navigating our members through the changes that will occur in relation to the Affordable Care Act. We continue to make innovations within our current health insurance product offering as we provide the only private based insurance exchange option available to businesses in Western New York. Simultaneously we are working diligently in Albany and in cooperation with our peers throughout New York State to assist with and influence the development of a public exchange that meets the needs of our businesses.
A fourth objective is to advocate for our businesses with a focus on property tax reduction. The property tax cap is encouraging more rapid structural changes to reduce costs and improve efficiencies. Yet, we recognize and continue to advocate for more mandate relief from New York State. There is progress occurring in our region as we witness school districts working with each other to share services and discuss possible mergers in an effort to maintain high quality education and contain costs.
Our fifth objective is to support and promote economic, workforce and tourism development. Most notably we expanded the Dream It Do It (DIDI) career initiative regionally this past year. As we saw our County based DIDI program continue to grow in participation and impact, we launched a new component of DIDI as we formed the Chautauqua STEM Education Coalition, with a focus on enhancing Science, Technology, Engineering and Math educational opportunities in school systems throughout Chautauqua County. Working with the Chautauqua County Visitor’s Bureau and a variety of community partners and business we coordinated Major League Fishing’s Summit Cup to be aired on the Outdoor Channel in January and NBC in February, delivering the wonderful assets of our County to a world-wide audience.
As we look toward 2013 and beyond we will build upon the programs and initiatives that we have developed in our continued efforts to support the business community. Part of our focus is to continue to expand our capacity to accomplish our goals. This is done by growing our membership, continuing to build meaningful partnerships with organizations across our communities and regions as well as further developing our volunteer base. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufacturers Association or are interested in volunteering in one of our initiatives or programs send us an e-mail at [email protected] or call us at 484-1101 or 366-6200.
Have a great New Year!

CFLs (Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs) need a little more energy when they are first turned on, but once the electricity starts moving, use about 60-75% less energy than incandescent bulbs. They also last about 10 times longer. Just changing one CFL - replacing a 60-watt bulb - cuts carbon dioxide pollution from coal produced electricity (We get 49% of our electricity from coal!). The pollution equivalent of one million cars would disappear! To get the most out of your CFLs, visit: www.energystar.gov

So Far, So Good With New Cars
There’s not much news this time of year, but most of it’s good.
NASCAR is implement-ing a new car next year. Officials are still tweaking and fine-tuning and sending drivers out to test it one way and then another, as at Char-lotte Motor Speedway last week. The Sprint Cup teams know basically what their cars are going to look like, but not completely.
Last week seemed almost like Christmas shopping. Everyone’s bought the pres-ents but still has to get them wrapped.
Judged on some of the col-
or schemes that have been leaked to the public, there’s a lot of new wrappers, too.
“The cars feel good,” Matt Kenseth said. “They’ve got a ton of grip. I felt like they had a lot of rear grip, espe-cially with that cambered
rear end. I’m not sure if that’s necessary or not, but overall, it just seems like a
lot more grip than when we raced here (Charlotte) in the fall.”
Most everyone is accentu-ating the positive, which is always the norm once one season ends and another beckons.
The Cup champion, Brad Keselowski, thinks it’s important to get whatever
edge can be had early in the season.
“Obviously,” he said, “the faster you get a hold of the speed, speed is the basic necessity of a winning team, but that’s not all it takes. It takes a lot more than speed to win, and you still have to have some of the other things that go with it, which are execution and good for-tune, and you have to have all of those other pieces that we could list out for days, but speed is the backbone of this sport and any team’s success.”
Keselowski was talking about speed as in “having more of it than the next guy,” but it appears as if speed in general will rise. Most driv-ers are expecting a bevy of track records to fall with the new car.

Deal Quickly With Holiday Debt
Did you overspend dur-ing the holidays? Have you loaded up your credit cards with debt? It’s easy to do. Retailers go all out to get consumers to let go of cash, and there’s the not-so-small desire to provide a happy season for loved ones.
Now, however, it’s time to take a hard look at the debt that’s been incurred.
When the bills arrive in January, open them imme-diately. Make a chart show-ing the total balance and the minimum monthly payment for each. Decide how much you can pay monthly on each one until all the bal-ances are brought to zero. At the very least, pay a few dollars more than the mini-mum, as this is something that goes on your credit report.
Check the interest rates and put extra money into the payments for those cards with higher rates. Ideally, you should be able to pay off all your holiday debt in three payments, if not sooner. If you can’t, add extra money to those payments to the extent you reasonably can. As you pay off one card, use that pay-ment amount to put extra on another card payment each month.
Here’s what happens if
you let the debts linger and only make minimum pay-ments:
You’ll keep paying more interest. A sale item is no longer a sale item once you add months of interest to its cost.
Your buying power is diminished. You’re pay-ing today with money you haven’t earned yet.
Your borrowing power is reduced. In the event of an emergency where you must take out a loan, you might be limited in how much you can borrow because of the debt you’ve already taken on.
Your credit score can take a hit if you’ve put too much on your credit cards. Going over a certain percentage of total credit availability shows up as a negative in your score, and it will con-tinue that way until you pay enough of the balance. If the excess debt leads to late payments or paying only minimum payments, your credit score will suffer.
Debt hangs over your head, day after day. It doesn’t go away — until you pay it off.
If you received cash for holiday gifts, consider using that to bring down some of your debt.

Could you clarify what “acting from the ego versus the mind “ means? Anonymous.
The ego lies within the brain. My Spiritual guides and teachers have continued to indicate the ego stands for “easing God out” (as they have reminded me of this since I can remember). They move forward to say it is only by going outside the “realm of God”- that Spirits having a Human experience (and/or anything or anyone in Gods creation )- where one may experience the self created illusion of “separation from God.” They say the ego- each individual ego is created by our accepting the reality(ies) and/or view point(s) of those around us as our own reality and/or view point. They say this often occurs via our parents; family; friends; teachers; religious leaders; community leaders; spiritual leaders; etc... The Spirit teachers and guides continue to further explain as Spirits having a Human Experience- we are made up of multiple components- body ( which they say the brain is a part of the body and can limit our spirit as too can our body limit the boundaries of our spirit ); spirit; emotional body; and mind. While we walk the earth as a spirit having a human experience- our spirit and mind is seated within our heart ( Heart Chakra ). The spirit teachers and guides continue by saying the mind is the intellect which follows the guidance of the “heart” and the spirit. They also say the mind unlike the brain has no limitations or boundaries. They include the mind acts as a “recorder” for our spirit to record all of our life’s experiences and reactions to these experiences. They continue to say they ego has taught us to nullify our “heart direction” which our spirit utilizes to guide us- and to guide “all which is from the smallest through the greatest”. This “heart direction” is a part of our mind.

DON’T TAKE ANY-THING FOR GRANTED
When you’re declarer in a contract that seems unbeat-able, it’s incumbent upon you to ask yourself whether any division of the adverse cards can defeat you. If you think along such lines, you will sometimes avert an unexpected defeat. Consider what happened to South in this deal where the defend-ers cashed three diamonds before shifting to a heart.
Declarer won with the ace and led a trump to dum-my’s queen, on which East showed out. A low club to the ace was followed by another trump, dummy winning West’s ten with the king. South now ruffed dummy’s nine of clubs and led still another trump, finessing the nine after West
followed low.With only one trump left
in each hand and the lead in dummy, declarer cashed the ace but had to lose a heart trick to East at the end and so went down one. However, he should have made the contract.
After declarer wins East’s heart return at trick four, he should ask himself, “What can defeat me?” Obviously, the only danger is a 4-0 trump division. If East has the four trumps, the contract is hopeless, so declarer arbi-trarily assigns them to West. As we’ve already seen, the contract fails if South imme-diately tackles trumps.
Instead, South should cash the ace of clubs before lead-ing a trump to the queen. This might not have the ear-marks of an earth-shattering play, but it has the great vir-tue of making the contract instead of losing it. It pro-tects against West holding four trumps.
When East shows out on the queen of trumps, South ruffs a club and leads anoth-er trump, winning West’s ten with the king. Another club ruff reduces South to one trump while West and dum-my each have two. South now leads his last trump, trapping West’s J-4 with dummy’s A-9, and finishes by discarding his heart loser on dummy’s last trump.
My One Word: Change Your Life With Just One Wordby Mike Ashcraft and Rachel Olsen(Zondervan, $14.99)Reviewed by Chris Richcreek
The start of a new year marks the return of an old story for many people: Make some resolutions, then see if they are still remembered come March.
Pastor Mike Ashcraft offers a different challenge, one he’s been doing with his congregation since 2007. In “My One Word,” he and co-author Rachel Olsen explain the concept of picking one God-inspired word to focus on for an entire year.
When the book states that it will “give you a simple but effective plan to effect per-sonal change,” it sounds like any other self-help book on the market. But the authors want those who choose a word to understand that they have to live it for a full year, as part of a greater purpose of answering the character question “Who do you want to become?” in their Chris-tian walk.
The concept seems simple enough. In fact, an easy
criticism of the book would be that it goes too long in describing a relatively straightforward idea. Then again, the “rooster story” near the end is an inspira-tional reward for an extend-ed reading effort.
Yet despite being just one word, it’s still a focused, yearlong journey. Motiva-tion can be found through-out the book in anecdotes from people who made the trek. Some were guided in their word choice by where they were in their lives, while others were surprised to find that their word took them to places and situations they weren’t expecting. As the book notes, “When [the word] changes the way you see, it will change the way you live.”
There are reflection points at the end of each chapter, and encourages telling oth-ers of the word choice as a form of accountability, which is an important pillar in the Christian community.
Overall, “My One Word” provides an interesting chal-lenge for the year ahead. And it begs this question of the reader: Have you thought about your word yet?

WHY DO JUDGES WEAR BLACK ROBES?
T A�e judge's uniform has its roots in the British aristocracy, a system that ensured that the most privileged have the highest positions of power. �us judges had to dress as representatives of their privilege, wearing robes made of the fur of weasels called ermine.
T R FJudges wearing black is believed to have started when all of the judges in
England attended the funeral of Queen Mary II in 1694. �ey all wore black, the color of mourning, and since the mourning period lasted a few more years
after Mary's burial, the custom of wearing black robes became entrenched in the English judiciary.
T CAs Englishmen ventured into the New World and carved out colonies, they brought their traditions along with them, which included the black robes of their judges. Another thing to note is that British judges wore white-powdered wigs.
T C
�e aura of British aristocracy ended with the American Revolution en route to the establishment of the United States of America. After the war, many of the
Founding Fathers, led by �omas Jefferson, wanted to get rid of every vestige of that era and proposed that judges wear suits instead of robes. However, there
were others, led by John Adams--he was, coincidentally, a lawyer by profes-sion--who argued for keeping the British custom of judicial clothing.
T CEventually, both sides reached a compromise: ditch the wigs, keep the robes.
Over the next two and a half centuries, the robes became simpler, morphing into the plain, flowing black robes judges wear today.

“He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another obscure village, where He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never had a family or owned a home. He never set foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place He was born. He never wrote a book, or held an office. He did none of the things that usually accompany greatness. While He was still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends deserted Him. He was turned over to His enemies, and went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves. While He was dying, His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had - His coat. When He was dead, He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave. Two thousand years have come and gone, and today He is the central figure for much of the human race. All the armies that ever marched and all the navies that ever sailed and all the parliaments that ever sat and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as this “One Solitary Life.”

Kinkade Painting
Q: I have a paint-ing by Thomas
Kinkade, the “Painter of Light.” In addition to the painting, I also have a teapot he produced with the inscription “Home Is Where the Heart Is.” Since Kinkade died recently, is his artwork now worth more? — Barbara, Alton, N.Y.
A: Thomas Kinkade cranked out thou-
sands (yes, thousands) of paintings, lithographs and related items during his very productive lifetime. Since he flooded the market with his art, when he died there was little or no bump in val-ues. I spoke to several gal-lery owners who think inter-est in Kinkade has, in fact, declined. Texas Art Depot specializes in Kinkade’s art-work and might be a helpful second opinion. Contact info is 301 West Oak, Pales-tine, TX 75801.

Q: I have an old fish-ing reel that was
never used and is still in its original box. I’d like to sell it to a collector. Could you please publish my name and address so interested parties can contact me? — Bernie, Albuquerque, N.M.
A: When I answer a let-ter for my column, it
immediately goes into my shredder. If it is an email, it is answered and deleted. That protects anyone who contacts me about their collectibles, and there are
no exceptions. You might be able to hook a buyer by contacting Antique & Clas-sic Fishing Reels, P.O. Box 7623, Jupiter, Fla. 33468.

Q: My dad was one of the first people
in our Chicago neighbor-hood to own a television. It was a RCA Model 8T241 with a 10-inch screen. What is it worth? — Carl, Pasco, Wash.
A: According to “The Antique Trader
Radio and Television Price Guide” edited by Kyle Hus-floen, your set was made in 1948 and is worth about $150. For some reason, vin-tage radios have outpaced early televisions as far as desirability with collectors is concerned.

Q: I have a ticket to the Democratic
National Convention of 1948. I have been offered $50 for it. — Steve, Palm Beach, Fla.
A: Take the offer. According to several
price guides I consulted, your ticket is valued in the $10 to $15 range.

NER: I’m very excited, because we adopted a puppy this week! Do you have any advice for a new pet owner? — James C., Dallas
DEAR JAMES: Congrat-ulations! I recently men-tioned to the new owner of a cat that it’s important to schedule an appointment with the veterinarian as soon as possible to make sure it is healthy, and to get its vaccinations.
Once that’s done, pick up a few books on training and caring for your new dog. But with the new year, I want you to make some new resolutions that will last beyond just this year and the next:
• I will recognize that my pet is a “forever pet.”
• I will not abandon my pet when the novelty of being a pet owner wears off.
• I will not discard my pet when house training gets tough, or when it starts chewing up my shoes.
• I will take my pet for a
regular annual checkup and keep its vaccinations and licensing up to date.
• I pledge to spend time with my pet every day.
• I will teach my family to respect animals, to have compassion for them and to care for them as they would another family member.
• I will train my dog to respond to basic commands, and I will socialize it with other dogs so that it is better behaved in public or at dog parks.
These are just a few of the resolutions you should make regarding your new pet. You’ll probably come up with even more on your own. Whatever the case, appreciate that your pet is a part of the family for the rest of its life.
Send your questions or comments to [email protected], or write to Paw’s Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. For more pet care-related advice and information, visit www.pawscorner.com.

Pluto sojourns in Direct within the constellation of Capricorn through January’s duration.CAPRICORN: Transits create energies which may allow you to be quick witted and alert in all of life’s sectors through January Fifth.

Creativity may be heightened under current planetary transits in the areas music; art; and/or writing. Expressing yourself outwardly from within may be indicated under current aspects.

These same energies may allow you to feel overly confident in areas which may be beyond your current reach. Knowing the difference between the two may allow you the difference between less than successful and successful. Current transits create energies which may have you looking in a wantoned direction. ARIES: You may desire to create outlined action plans to be followed objectively for each twenty-four hour day through the fifth in order to self insure one does not give into unwarranted emotions and/or feelings which may be created by current transits. Current aspects indicate self responsibility to insure each project started may be finished prior to moving on to multiple others ideas and tasks at hand. Aspect indicate one may desire to tune into ones spiritual desires.
TAURUS: Self responsibility is indicated through the Fifth as current transits may create energies which may allow one to visualize illusion as accuracy versus looking at the current validity within each of life’s sectors. A double check for each situation may be asking your self what feels right and what doesn’t. Aspects may give you leeway with making decisions this week; the key is knowing the difference between accurate and delusion.GEMINI: Energies this week may create situations which may throw you for a loop. Self responsibility by keeping a keenly continuous awareness through the Fifth may assist to keep all projects within ones desired outcomes. Self awareness may assist one to insure those in and around all of life’s sectors are unable to blind side you this week. Quick and objective thinking may be indicated under current aspects. Keeping brain engaged is indicated. MOON CHILD: Transits through the Fifth indicate keeping ones emotions and feelings as objective as possible in order to insure they remain valid versus possible wishful thinking. Currentaspects may allow you to show and share your inner self and feelings with others who you desire to have a closer place in your life and within your heart. Following your hearts desires under current transits may open doors which have long appeared to be locked in the romance sector.LEO: Energies created by current transits through the Fifth may have you feeling as though your skin may be crawling and/or as if you are in over drive standing still. Self responsibility is indicated to engage brain prior to opening mouth this week in order to insure regret(s) do not ricochet and become yours. Emotions may be running high via increased energies created by current aspects; paying attentention to them and how they may be effecting you is indicated.

LARGEST GLACIERSBY CONTINENT
North America – Hubbard Glacier
Hubbard is the largest tidewater glacier on the North American continent. Hubbard has also been thickening and advancing toward the Gulf of Alaska ever since it was first mapped by the International Boundary Commission in 1895 (Davidson, 1903). And, this is happening despite climate change and the fact that many glaciers are thinning and retreating.
South America – Perito Moreno Glacier
90% of the world’s glaciers in Antarctica and Patagonia at the southern tip of South America are melting quickly. Argentina’s mighty Perito Moreno glacier is thriving in defiance of the global climate change. University of Alaska Fairbanks experts say the area’s heavy precipitation seems to have increased. This combined with strong, cold Patagonian winds has reinforced the glacier.
Europe – Vatnajokull Glacier
The Vatnajokull covers about 8% of Iceland with and average thickness of 400meter. Beneath the glacier are active volcanoes. Grimsvoth Volcano is Iceland’s most active – latest eruptions in 1996, 1998, 2004.
Africa – Glaciers of Kilimanjaro
These glaciers may not be the biggest on the continent but they are definitely on the highest mountain of the continent. They were also the center of much global warming alarmist hype until it was proven that retreat and advance of glaciers is not caused by climate change as much as it is caused by overall changes in precipitation.
Asia – Siachen Glacier
Siachen glacier is the highest battleground on earth. It is a place where India and Pakistan always meet in a frozen standoff. It is the world’s largest non polar glacier, Siachen glacier is sometimes called third pole. This glacier is well known for its scarce population and treacherous climatic conditions. Siachin boasts more than 2 trillion cubic feet of ice, and within 25 kms has 45 peaks which rise up to a height of 18000 feet.
Australia – Heard Island Glacier
Australia’s little know glaciers sit in sub-Antarctic Heard Island in the Indian Ocean. The area was discovered by U.S. Captain William Heard in 1853. Scientists call the area an ideal laboratory for studying climate change – at the end of the Polar Zone and isolated from humans.
Antarctica – Lambert Glacier
Lambert along with Mellor and Fisher glaciers, which form the upper extension of the Lambert, the ice mass have been measured at 320 mi. long and over 40 mi. wide. “The Lambert drains into the massive Amery Ice Shelf at longitude 70 deg. E, almost due south of Bombay and approximately 1,400 mi. from the South Pole.
“...In the long history of the world, only a few
generations have been granted the role of defending
freedom in its hour of maximum danger.
I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it.
I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation.
The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it.
And the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
My fellow citizens of the world, ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own.”

Cleaning Up After the Holidays
Happy New Year! While the holidays might not quite be over, planning for post-holiday cleanup can help combat the winter blues and keep you from being that one house on the block that has a holiday wreath hang-ing on the door until July.
Here are a few tips that might help holiday cleanup go a little easier:
—If you have a real tree, check with your local gov-ernment to find out if and when there is tree pickup and disposal in your area. Otherwise, look for a tree disposal service nearby. Remove and pack away all the tree ornaments and decorations. The night before scheduled disposal or pickup, prep the tree. If the disposal service wants it in a tree bag, put the bag over the tree and cover the tree fully while it’s still in its stand. With a helper holding the tree in place, loosen the trunk from the stand and carefully lift away. Drain excess water from the stand into a sink, dry and store for next year.
—When removing the tree from the stand, don’t set the trunk down on the carpet or floor, as sap will create a sticky mess. Don’t use the tree as firewood: It’s not seasoned and the branches
may have been pre-treated at the tree lot with chemi-cals to prevent insects.
—Use a shop vac to vac-uum up pine needles, tinsel and other small debris from where the tree once sat.
—Put used wrapping paper into the recycling bin — don’t burn it in the fire-place.
—Tree sap on tile or wood floors, or on protec-tive cloths, can be cleaned with warm water and soap. Sap on the carpet should be dabbed with a cloth damp-ened with rubbing alcohol until the sap comes up.
—Take down outdoor Christmas lights and deco-rations in clear weather. Work with a partner and use a sturdy ladder for lights on the roof eaves. Some DIYers replace burnt bulbs when they take down the lights, but I usually don’t, as I often have to replace burned or broken bulbs next holiday season anyway. Wrap the strands around a piece of cardboard to keep them from tangling, and store in a dry, cool place until next year.

PSTD Didn’t Exist for Vietnam VetsBefore 1980 there was
no diagnosis called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Think about that for a min-ute. If you need a timeline to consider, by 1963 we had 16,000 soldiers in Vietnam, and the number escalated rapidly from there. Saigon fell in 1975.
There was no diagnosis for what was surely an existing condition. The number of veterans who came back from Vietnam with person-ality, behavioral, alcohol and drug problems attests to the fact that there was some-thing very, very wrong. For some of them, going AWOL was the only path they could take. Tens of thousands of them were dumped out of the service with dishonor-able discharges for those behaviors, were denied ben-efits and left to struggle on their own with the demons.
That meant no medical, no home buying with a VA loan, no GI Bill or other edu-cation benefits, no disabil-ity compensation — and no treatment for combat-relat-ed PTSD until years later, if
at all. But a PTSD diagnosis years after the fact hasn’t changed anything.
A class-action lawsuit has been instigated that will address the error. It is being handled by the Veterans Legal Services Clinic at Yale Law School in Con-necticut.
According to one of the law students, 46 percent of discharge upgrade applica-tions over the years were approved by the Army Board for Correction of Military Records — except for applications of Vietnam veterans with PTSD. For them, the number was 2 percent approval. The law-suit asks that the dishon-orable (now called other-than-honorable) discharges be upgraded for Vietnam veterans who had undiag-nosed PTSD at the time of their discharge. There could be upward of 80,000 veter-ans to which this applies.Keep an eye on this.

Create Jewelry With Paper BeadsBeading your own jewelry
continues to be a trend roll-ing its way back and forth across the country. Stop at most any art fair or peek into a glimmering bead store, and you’ll see exquisite beads from around the world in all shapes and sizes that inspire us to be creative.
Actually, there’s nothing new about beading. The
popular art form has been around for centuries, passed from one generation to the next. I remember making beads from glossy maga-zine paper back in kinder-garten class. We rolled the bright-colored paper into narrow beads, and wore them around our necks on shoelaces.
If you and your kids would like to create some dazzling designs for your own jewel-ry, here’s how to make paper beads and fashion them into necklaces and accessories. It’s easy!
1. Tear out illustrated pag-es from a magazine, or save a sheet or two from the Sun-day comics in your news-paper. Gift-wrap paper also works well. The more color-ful the paper, the brighter the beads.
2. Cut the paper into long,
narrow triangles, approxi-mately 5 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide at the broad end.
3. To form each bead, carefully roll the triangle around a pencil or sturdy drinking straw (use a large nail or toothpick for narrow beads), beginning with the broad end of the triangle and ending with the pointed end. Glue the point to the rolled paper. Remove the pencil or straw. Continue until you have a nice collection. Young children may prefer rolling several at a time and coming back to the project later. Let glue dry.
To make necklaces, string beads onto bright cording, yarn or string. Knot ends together. For variation, add buttons, aluminum washers
and craft beads between the paper beads.
For a brooch or hair clip, use a glue gun to glue sev-eral beads together in a row on the top of a jewelry clasp or a plain, flat hairclip.
Note: To protect the beads and give them shine, paint over them with non-toxic water-soluble varnish before you string the neck-laces or make accessories. It’s also fun to add dots and designs with craft paint from squeeze bottles.
