HERBS AND SPICES (continued):• Saffron is the world’s most expensive spice and has been used in trade for more than 4,000 years. It comes from the dried threads of the saf-fron crocus plant, which grows to a height of 8 to 12 inches (20-30 cm) and bears only four flow-ers. One pound (450 g) of dry saffron requires 50,000 to 75,000 flowers, with 40 hours of labor needed to pick 150,000 flowers. Retail prices for saffron can spike as high as $5,000 per pound. Some medical studies suggest that this spice has antioxidant and cancer-suppressing properties and might also be helpful in treating depression. In the kitchen, it’s used in Indian and Pakistani sweet dishes and Italian risotto. It’s also used in religious rituals in India. • Vanilla is second most expensive spice after saffron. It’s no wonder vanilla is an expensive commodity when you consider the labor re-quired to process it. It comes from the pod of the only fruit-bearing orchid plant, with a waiting period of three years after being planted before the first flowers appear. The flower opens only one day a year, and each one is hand-pollinated in order to produce a pod. Those pods remain on the vine for another nine months and when harvested, have no flavor or fragrance. Those qualities develop during the extensive curing process, when the pods are treated with hot wa-ter before being placed in the sun for months. During this time, they shrink to about one-fifth of their original size. It’s another month or two of “resting” before the pods develop their dis-tinctive aroma and taste.• Vanilla takes its name from the Spanish word Vaina, which translates “little pod.” Vanilla ex-tract is made by finely chopping the beans and dripping alcohol on the pieces.

HERBS AND SPICES (continued):• Nutmeg is harvested from the seeds of the fruit of the large evergreen nutmeg tree, native to the West Indies. This tree grows to a height of about 60 feet (18.3 m), and yields both nutmeg and mace. The seeds are grated to produce nutmeg, while mace comes from the lacy threads that sur-round the seed. Nutmeg may spice up your des-serts, but its medicinal uses are many. Ancient Chinese medicine called for using its oil for digestive ailments, relieving inflammation, and reducing joint pain. Nutmeg is a good source of Vitamin C, many B-complex vitamins, copper, potassium, calcium, iron, and zinc. Some claim it promotes a restful night’s sleep when steamed and inhaled. Nutmeg contains the same essential oil as cloves, eugenol, that can be used for tooth-ache relief. • Sweet aromatic cloves are used in baking and flavoring meats such as ham and lamb, as well as serving as an anesthetic for a toothache. Eugenol oil can also reduce blood sugar in diabetics and help relieve indigestion. Naturopaths claim that rubbing a mixture of oil of cloves and mustard into aching joints and muscles will reduce pain. Some people say that drinking water in which a few cloves have been boiled will help relieve a cough.• Cinnamon, one of the oldest known spices, comes from the bark of a cinnamon tree, bark that must be processed immediately after harvesting, while it is still wet. Cinnamon was a gift fit for a king in ancient times, and in Rome, a pound of the spice was worth ten months’ wages. It’s been shown to help with indigestion and upset stomach. Diabetics will be happy to know that cinnamon seems to contribute to reduced blood glucose levels and increased insulin production. Some studies indicate that it promotes lower cholesterol and relief of arthritis pain.

HERBS AND SPICES (continued):• The Scoville scale was developed by Wilbur Scoville in 1912 to measure the hotness of a food item. A food’s number is based on its concentra-tion of the alkaloid compound capsaicin, which is what gives a strong pungent flavor. The hot-ness of cayenne pepper measures about 50,000 Scoville Heat Units. (Compare this to the Caro-lina Reaper pepper which averages 1,569,300 SHU’s!) Cayenne comes from a small shrub about 39 inches (100 cm) tall, and is considered the best source of Vitamin A of all spices, as well as being rich in anti-oxidants. Studies indicate that capsaicin has anti-carcinogenic and anti-di-abetic properties. Cayenne has been successful in treating arthritis, sore muscles, and digestive ailments, as well as improving blood circula-tion. • We usually think of oregano as an herb to fla-vor our tomato sauces and Italian dishes. That is the Mediterranean species of oregano, which is a member of the mint family. It grows in Greece, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Egypt, and Morocco, and has a strong, robust flavor. However, there is another completely different variety, Mexican oregano, a relative of lemon verbena, which has more of a citrusy licorice taste. The USDA tells us that one tablespoon of fresh oregano has just as much antioxidant properties as an apple. • If you’re cooking Mexican food, coriander, cumin, and cilantro are essential. Coriander ac-tually comes from the seeds of the cilantro plant. While fresh cilantro will offer a bolder flavor, coriander adds more of a subtle taste.• When the dried fruit of the sweet red pepper Capsicum annuum is ground, the result is a red powder we know as paprika. We use it to season stews, soups, and sausages, particularly in Hun-garian foods. It’s grown mainly in Spain, South America, California, and, of course, Hungary.

Collective nouns are fascinating, especially when one kind of animal has multiple ones that can be used. Take ducks, for instance: A group of them can be called a flock, a badling, a brace, a plump, a sord or a waddling. If you see them on water you can call them a bunch, a paddling or a raft; and a group of ducks flying together is known variously as a skein, a string or a team.

WHY DO WE GAIN WEIGHT?Why do we gain weight? The common answers include: because you eat too much, because you eat too much fat, because you eat too much sugar, or junk food, or too late, or because you listen too much to your mother (J), or because of lack of exercise. In all that there are elements of truth, more or less, but it is much more complex than that. There are many reasons why you can gain weight.Diet is an obvious one. However, it's not necessarily what we've been taught. Since we've been convinced that eating fats make us fat, and then eating low-fat and non-fat foods, our weight has increased. In a 20 year period between the mid-1950's and 1970's we reduced fat by 33%, and we increased our weight by 40% in that same time period. Low-fat means high sugar. Sugar has contrib-uted more to weight gain that fat ever could. Eating fat doesn't make us fat. Eating sugar does.Not all fat is good, however. Fried foods, hydrogenated fats and vegetable oils are the bad fats - those can create more issues in the body than you can imagine. The good fats are butter, olive oil, coconut oil, animal fats (from animals that were pasture-fed, not commercial), avocados, and fish. Frequently, nutritionists will have patients eat extra (good) fats when they are trying to lose weight. Seems counter to what we have been taught for the past few decades, but it's amazing how well it works. Eating fat satisfies hunger and makes you less likely to crave sweets, it provides the raw ma-terials for lots of functions in the body, and tastes better so there's less sugar added. That's only the beginning.Some people complain they work out hours per week, yet still gain weight. The wrong exercise can be worthless in losing weight, but the right exercise is indispensible. Stress is one of the biggest cul-prits in gaining weight. The release of cortisol in response to stress tells the body to store more fat. So does insulin. When eating excess sugar, the excess insulin that results also tells the body You can also gain weight if you have an imbalance in the endocrine system. The endocrine system consists of organs that secrete hormones and include the thyroid, adrenals, pancreas, liver, pituitary and female/male hormonal system - all of which can have a role in weight gain. While it is easy to blame diet, exercise or medical conditions alone for weight gain, the truth is that there are generally a combination of causes, not just one factor. There are numerous reasons for gaining weight. The more of those reasons that get addressed, the better the chances are that you will lose weight.

Q:How do we get rid of those nasty little ants?Beyond keeping all food and drink cleaned upped there is a temporary solution. One of my customers turned me onto what she uses. Windex.AnswerSince ants are imbued with formic acid, contact with am-
monia (NH3) instantly grabs the hydrogen ion in the ant, incapacitating the ant or ants in less than 2-3 sec-any blue window cleaner like Windex will work.. Attack the insects at peripheral journeys, "parking lot" swarms, and portal of entry. Anywhere there is a trail of ants.Additionally, leaving small areas of ammonia near portals of entry which the ants acquire and take back to the nest, sharing and wip-ing out the colony over a few days. Use caution and precautions to make sure pets and children aren’t exposed to the liquid if using ammonia straight.It seems ants do their thing every spring--maybe it's better for us to follow the wisdom in "Henry and the Ant"-just look the other way!

Magnesium Glycinate Chelate by Designs for Health
Do you suffer from Headaches or Migraines? Leg cramps or arrhythmia? Do you have trouble fall-ing asleep or relaxing for bed at night? You may be like up to 80% of Americans---> Magnesium deficient! Magnesium is involved in over 300 metabolic reactions, and thus low magnesium could be what ails you.
Magnesium is said to be ‘natures calcium channel blocker’, and deficiency has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Studies have even show magnesium improved insulin sensitivity in Pre-Diabetic individuals.It’s not a wonder we are deficient as a nation, with the number 1 food source of magnesium being leafy green vegetables. And what about the kind of magnesium? I can buy magnesium citrate from Walgreens for $2, won’t that help my magnesium levels?
And the answer is..... nope. It will give you an immediate bowel movement, though! Chelated min-erals are best absorbed by the body, and Magnesium Glycinate Chelate is the one I recommend.

The American Heart Association is at it again, giving bad ad-vice that is just embar-rassing.
We've known for awhile that AHA of-ficials are hopelessly out of touch with re-ality. Their nutritional guidelines read like something from an-other era.
Take salt. They recom-mend a low salt diet -- no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day. But the evidence shows that less than 2,300 mg per day can make your thinking fuzzy and put
your heart at risk.
Last year, AHA teamed up with the American College of Cardiology, and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute to expand guidelines for statin drugs. The new guidelines are so all over the place that some people who don't have high cholesterol will end up taking a statin, which does ONE thing: it lowers cholesterol. Forget the many side effects associated with them, such as diabetes, dementia, muscle wast-ing and fatigue to name a few.
And the AHA still clings to the ridiculous idea that low fat milk and skim milk makes you skin-ny. It doesn't. Just the opposite. These reduced fat milks contain more sugar than whole milk.And the AHA is so far behind the times that it still says to avoid saturated fats! Despite yet another study, done by Cambridge University, that examined more than 75 studies to show no evidence, none, to support guidelines that advise against eating saturated fats. But it will take de-cades for the AHA to change their advice.
Every single one of these AHA guidelines has been proven to be hogwash. In fact, it's worse! If you had a shred of respect for your hog, you wouldn't let it anywhere near the ridiculous junk they spew out.
So why, and how, does the ADA keep spewing out terrible advice and staying financially afloat? Easy.
As a recent Daily Beast report notes, they've got Big Food and Big Pharma friends with mighty deep pockets. That huge revenue stream means they can conveniently ignore any food and drug evidence that makes their benefactors uneasy. In addition to their sugar daddies, they have one more ace up their sleeve. And this is the one where they reach out directly to you and me, saying, "Trust us." Then, behind the scenes, this scheme take in piles of cash out of food manu-facturers.
It sounds innocent enough. It's called the Heart Check Program.
The Daily Beast found that food companies are coughing up AHA certification fees that go as high as $7,500 (in addition to yearly renewal fees) just to get the AHA nod that allows them to put the red heart check on food packaging. The program includes nearly 900 individual food items.
Of course, if you don't pay the fees, you don't get a heart check. What a racket! Mobsters must look at the AHA and wonder, "How do they get away with it?"
More amazing is how they get away with it while stubbornly denying major changes in nutritional research.
Please, don't follow the advice of the AHA or send any of your hard earned money to this cor-poration.

Going to the beach for your vacation? Here’s a handy hint to take great care of your swimsuit. (They get more expensive all the time!) Pack at least two suits and bring a box of baking soda. Soak suit for 15 minutes in a baking soda and water solution, then lay flat on a towel. Roll the towel up and wring lightly. Unroll and hang to dry. Rotate suits. -- JoAnn
Fill a 2-liter soda bottle with water, then plunge the top into a potted plant for self-watering while you are on vacation. Use smaller bottles for smaller pots.
“This should be a life tip: Feel comfortable in your party clothes. You will be more confident and be a better conversationalist than if you are uncomfortable in very high heels or a too-tight dress. Let your inner light shine! It took me 60 years of uncomfortable clothes for this grandma to figure it out.” -- F.L. in Oregon
Use your Christmas light timers to set different lights to go on or off at certain times of the day while you are away on vacation. You can even use a timer on a radio, so it comes on sometimes too. The variation will make people think you are home.
“If you read lots of online reviews before ce-menting your travel plans, make sure you read them with a critical eye. Some read like an ad-vertisement -- for or against. Try to see if you can get recommendations from your friends and family too. Most of all, enjoy your time.” -- N.F. in Maryland
Always keep a couple bottles of water and a roll of duct tape in your trunk. You never know when you will need these items, and they seem to be pretty handy when traveling.Send your tips to Now Here’s a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

New VA Health Program Draws Praise from VetsThe spotlight on delayed medical care at a num-ber of Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers has overshadowed some recent good news about the VA’s PACT program, its method of providing personalized primary care.PACT (Patient Aligned Care Teams) was started in 2010 as a team approach to the wellness of individual veterans by using health plans with care provided at clinics and online via eHealth. Teams are made up of nurse care managers, clinical associates, providers and administrative associates, in tandem with nutritionists, social workers and pharmacists. Appointments with specialists are easily arranged.Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it ... individualized medical attention. The veterans who receive these services like it, too, according to a VA news release. Here are some of the stats:¥ Using secure electronics such as telehealth video conferencing, email messaging, home-based monitoring, phone calls and group meet-ings, the number of interactions with veterans increased 50 percent.¥ Of veterans asking for a same-day appoint-ment with their personal provider, 65 percent got it. Of those who asked for a specific appoint-ment date, 78 percent were accommodated. In the past year, care during non-business hours increased 75 percent.¥ More than 70 percent of veterans who are dis-charged from the hospital are contacted within two days to make sure they understand their in-structions and to see how they’re doing.¥ Mental-health care services, also a component of PACT, increased 18 percent.¥ As a result of PACT, there’s been a 33 percent decrease in the number of veterans needing ur-gent care, and hospital admissions decreased 12 percent for acute conditions.The bottom line? In a PACT satisfaction survey, over 90 percent of veterans had positive assess-ments of both inpatient and outpatient care.

Too Many Pets?DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Is it possible to have too many pets? My neighbor’s two children were proudly showing off their numerous house pets during their first-communion party a few days ago. They have four budgies, two rabbits, a cat, a dog and an iguana! Isn’t this a bit much for two young children to handle? -- Concerned Next Door
DEAR CONCERNED: If the pets all appeared to be well-cared for, then it’s probably not a problem. And without knowing anything about the situation, I’m willing to bet that the iguana is cared for by the parents, since their care and feeding is pretty tricky.With caged pets -- like birds, rabbits and liz-ards -- it’s usually pretty simple to tell whether they’re receiving good care. If their cages are re-ally dirty (piles of waste, very smelly sawdust bedding) and if there isn’t clean water available, then there is likely a problem. With other pets, behavior and living area can be signs. Was the dog badly behaved, or was it well-socialized, or kept in a quiet room to stay calm during the party? Did you notice or smell an overflowing litter box?If none of these signs were apparent, then the family is probably taking pretty good care of all their pets. The fact that the kids proudly showed off their pets to party guests is a good sign.With younger kids, parents’ involvement in keeping, caring for and training pets is impor-tant. Parents have the opportunity to teach chil-dren not just responsibility, but awareness of and compassion for other living creatures. In the case of your neighbors, if the pets appear to be cared for, then I’d say the parents are doing their jobs, and you have no more cause for conern.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:PETER JENNINGS• Peter Jennings was one of the most trusted and respected news anchors in the history of tele-vision news. As the son of a noted Canadian Broadcasting Company journalist, Peter got his start in broadcasting at age 9, hosting his own radio program, “Peter’s People,” on a Toronto station. • Although a gifted broadcaster, Jennings was not a gifted student. He admitted that his failure to pass 10th grade was due to “pure boredom.” In an interview he remarked, “I loved girls, I loved comic books. I was pretty lazy.” He dropped out at age 17, and although he tried to attend Carle-ton University a few years later, in his words, he “lasted about 10 minutes.” • Jennings was anxious to follow his father into broadcasting, but took a job as a bank teller at the Royal Bank of Canada. He got a break in his early 20s when he landed a job hosting a Cana-dian music program called “Club Thirteen,” fol-lowed by a teen dance show similar to “Ameri-can Bandstand” called “Saturday Date.” • At age 24, Jennings was given the co-anchor position of a Canadian late-night national news broadcast, ironically, in competition with his father’s network. At 25, he was the first Cana-dian journalist to arrive in Dallas after the as-sassination of John F. Kennedy. After two years as anchor, he moved to the States for a position with ABC News. The following year, he was the anchor opposite the time slots of news greats, CBS’s Walter Cronkite and NBC’s David Brin-kley.

PETER JENNINGS (continued):• Jennings took on a new challenge two years later when he shifted to a job as a foreign cor-respondent. He set up ABC’s news bureau in Beirut, the first TV news bureau in the Middle East, where he remained for 7 years. After simi-lar positions in Rome and London, he came back to the U.S. to co-anchor World News Tonight, where we saw his face for the next 27 years. At one time, 14 million people watched Jennings every night. His awards included 16 Emmys and two George Foster Peabody awards. • Jennings was present at nearly every historic event during his tenure, including not only the building of the Berlin Wall in the 1960s, but also its fall in 1989. He was one of the first journal-ists to report from Vietnam, and was on hand at the 1972 Munich Olympics when terrorists at-tacked Israeli athletes. We heard about the space shuttle Challenger disaster and the Gulf War from Jennings. During the September 11th at-tacks in 2001, Jennings was at his anchor desk for 17 straight hours. After the tragedy, claim-ing a “deeper sense of connection to the United States,” he began studying for the citizenship test, and in 2003, he obtained dual citizenship, U.S. and Canadian. • In April, 2005, Jennings announced to viewers that he had lung cancer and would immediately begin chemotherapy. Just four months later, he succumbed to the disease. • Jennings was devoted to his family and was well-known as a loyal friend who enjoyed enter-taining and listening to jazz with friends at his home in the Hamptons. He offered these words of wisdom: “Always have a sense of humor about life – you’ll need it – but always be cour-teous to boot.”
Remember Granddads on Father’s Day
There is a collector in all of us, I’m sure of it. Even the minimalist architect must have paint swatches and “less is more” articles stashed away somewhere.It seems that no matter how disciplined we are to declutter and purge, we’ll inevitably hang on to our favorite stuff. Just ask my mom. While she has never been one to collect antiques, vacation souvenirs and the like, she has meticulously col-lected family memorabilia. On my 40th birthday, she compiled a visual scrapbook of my life, including “welcome new baby” cards, a kindergarten art-fair painting, re-port cards and high-school prom newspaper clip-pings.
Then, a few years ago, out of her treasured cedar chest came patches, pins, ribbons, dog tags and photos from my dad’s service in World War II and the Korean War. These were the unique makings for arrangements that she would create in shadow boxes for her grandsons, who were too young to know him when he passed away in 1988. “Knowing that I couldn’t part with these items was half the battle; the other half was knowing what to do with them,” she said when I asked about the inspiration behind creating these eye-catching glimpses of a chapter in my dad’s life. Now, thanks to the inspired visual gift, the trea-sured mini museum is on display to best advan-tage in their homes for friends and family to ap-preciate. Father’s Day is coming up on June 15. It might be just the occasion to share with your kids or grand-kids memories of an important man in their lives, whether he’s a grandfather, uncle or close friend. Here are some ideas:Shadow boxesCollect small mementos and photos, and display them in shadow boxes, available online and at craft stores. Develop the visual story around a theme, such as a favorite sport, hobby or accom-plishment. ScrapbookMake copies of photos and documents such as immigration papers, academic degrees, newspa-per articles, etc. Compile them in a scrapbook or three-ring binder with short descriptions. Plastic sleeves designed for business and baseball cards have nice compartments for smaller items. Memory BoxPurchase, make or use an existing attractive case or a box with a lid. Place memorabilia inside, along with notes to describe the objects.***Donna Erickson’s award-winning series “Donna’s Day” is airing on pub-lic television nationwide.

Funky-Smelling PorchQ: I have an enclosed front porch that has a moisture and mildew problem. Even on days that are just humid, not rainy, the porch smells musty and mildewy. There also is a carpet across the porch floor that stays damp. If I take up the carpet, will that cure the problem? -- Doreen in ClevelandA: Carpets retain moisture, so it could be a major contributor to the mildew smell, even if it’s an “indoor/outdoor” type carpet that dries quickly. But another important question is why so much moisture is getting into the enclosed porch area, and why it isn’t drying out quickly enough to prevent mildew.Unseen damage and deterioration are usually the biggest culprits in moisture problems any-where within a home. You need to look from top to bottom for possible trouble spots. If the porch has an overhanging roof, look for damaged shin-gles or whether the overhang has pulled slightly away from the walls. Check windows for cracks and the frames for damaged or warping. Look for water stains below window frames and at any potential entry points, such as doors, roof eaves and wall corners.Outside, check the gutter system. Make sure rain gutters are in good repair and note where downspouts are placed and how far from the house they extend. Downspouts that drain next to the foundation can cause all sorts of moisture problems. Extending them is an inexpensive so-lution.Now it’s time to look underneath that carpet. Wear a filter mask to protect yourself from mold spores, and carefully pull back a corner of the carpet. Underneath, you may find plastic sheet-ing, an inexpensive moisture prevention method for front porches. The sheeting keeps water from damaging the porch floor, and weather-resistant carpet provides traction. It’s not an optimal so-lution, but the alternative involves replacing the flooring and improving the underlayment, and that can be expensive.Lift up that plastic sheeting as well, drawing both carpet and plastic back a foot or so, and check the floorboards. If they appear to be in good condition, that’s a good start.You also need to check underneath the porch to see what the flooring looks like from there. This may be tricky, depending on how your house is built. If the porch extends separately from the foundation, you (or a contractor) can likely shimmy into or shine a flashlight into the crawl-space to check the underside of the floorboards and the joists, and look and smell for mold. If the foundation extends under the porch, access the crawlspace or basement and check under the porch for potential water entry spots.Once you’ve located potential moisture trouble spots, work with a contractor to resolve these problems. Be sure to get estimates from more than one contractor before agreeing to any work. The faster you address the problem, the less ex-pensive it may be to fix.

GARLICIn keeping with our theme of spices, Tidbits now zeroes in on the culinary and medicinal benefits of garlic. • Garlic, or Allium sativum, is a member of the onion genus, along with shallots, leeks, and chives. A full-grown garlic plant is about 24 inches (60 cm) tall and yields between 8 and 20 bulbs. It’s one of the oldest cultivated food plants, and its use dates back over 7,000 years. Pictures of garlic have been found on ancient Egyptian tombs and the Greek physician Hippocrates pro-moted its therapeutic benefits for respiratory and digestion problems, low energy, and eliminating parasites. Olympic athletes in ancient Greece were fed garlic, probably to enhance their per-formance. • The list of the health benefits of garlic goes on and on. Research has shown the cardiovascular benefits of garlic, as well as a reduction in cho-lesterol levels. It seems to help regulate blood sugar levels and prevent complications of diabe-tes. It has antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, and was used as an antiseptic to pre-vent gangrene during World Wars I and II. In a study conducted by China’s Center for Disease Control, people who ate raw garlic twice a week had a 44% lower risk of developing lung cancer. Some naturopaths advocate its use for the pre-vention of prostate, breast, stomach, and colon cancers. • Of course, the downside of ingesting large quan-tities of garlic is halitosis – bad breath! – as well as sweat that has a pungent smell. This is cause by Allyl Methyl Sulfide, a sulfur-containing gas that is released when you eat garlic.

GARLIC (continued):
• Helsinki, Finland is home to Kynsilaukka, a res-taurant that caters to garlic lovers. Even its name translates to “clove leek.” They serve all things garlic, including beer, ice cream, and cheesecake. In the U.S., San Francisco boasts “The Stinking Rose,” a restaurant where every menu item fea-tures garlic. No wonder their marketing slogan is “Follow your nose to the Stinking Rose.” • Garlic isn’t just for seasoning and medicinal benefits. Even the sticky juice found within the bulb cloves is useful as an adhesive in mending glass and porcelain. • If you don’t have fresh garlic for your recipes, garlic powder can be used, although it does have a different taste. If you do substitute the powder for the fresh, 1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder is the equivalent of one clove of fresh garlic. • Much of the U.S.’s garlic supply is produced in and around Gilroy, California, which has been dubbed “Garlic Capital of the world.” A single farm in the area produces nearly 25 million pounds (11,340,000 kg) annually. Every July, this community of 50,000 hosts the Gilroy Gar-lic Festival, a celebration that has raised almost $9 million for assorted local charities since its founding in 1979. • Although Gilroy calls itself the garlic capital, it’s nowhere near the world’s top producer. Over 77% of the world’s garlic is grown in China, about 23 billion pounds (10.4 billion kg) worth. India is a distant second with 4.1%, followed by South Korea at 2%. The U.S. produces just 1.6% of the world’s garlic, with some grown in every state except Alaska.

New Gadgets Designed With Seniors in MindFinally, manufacturers and retailers are paying attention to seniors! More and more of them are creating gadgets that will help us with small tasks every day. Here are a few I found online:¥ Is it getting harder to put the key in your front door lock because the key is just too small to hold? AgingCare.com has a gizmo that makes using keys so much easier. The Easy Key Turner is a plastic key holder that more than doubles the size of the end of the key.¥ The same thought has gone into the Lamp Switch Turner, available on the site above. In-stead of a small round switch, this little device is in the shape of a bigger triangle, much easier to grip when you want to turn on a lamp.¥ Wish your cane didn’t look so blah, so like everyone else’s? Cane Expressions has a beauti-ful variety of removable, decorative cane cov-ers. Choose from shimmery or beaded fabrics. Coordinate outfits with denim, red hearts, camo, purple, polka dots, zebra or any number of other prints and colors. Go online to www.caneex-pressions.com to see its selection, or call 310-387-4909. All are made in the USA.¥ If the letters on your caller ID are getting smaller all the time, consider a talking caller ID. No more squinting at tiny letters. The machine will announce the number that’s calling. Con-sider this option the next time you shop for a phone.¥ If you’re still driving, look for a steering-wheel knob. It clamps on the steering wheel and gives a larger surface to hold.To find more gadgets, go online and search for “seniors daily living aids.” Look for doorknob levers, jar and bottle openers, Neo Bird writing pens (easy to grip) and talking watches.

PICKS OF THE WEEKPHOTO: Ralph Fiennes in “The Grand Budapest Hotel”
"The Grand Budapest Hotel" (R) -- Perched high in the mountains of an obscure eastern European nation, the Grand Budapest Hotel once hosted the most prestigious (and eccentric) of the old high society. In the creeping dawn of the second World War, "The Grand Budapest's" preening hotel con-cierge (Ralph Fiennes) and his faithful lobby boy fight for their lives and an odd-looking Renais-sance painting.
Writer/director Wes Anderson forges on with his signature style -- painstaking detail, the quirkiest characters and a dry sense of humor. Anderson also makes use of his menagerie of talented stars appearing in smaller roles (Ed Norton, Tilda Swinton, Bill Murray and many more). Outshining all of this is the sincere and comedic performance from Fiennes.
"Ernest & Celestine" (PG) -- This beautifully animated French import follows the unlikely love between an artistic mouse and grouchy bear. In this world, the bears rule the snowy city streets, while mice must live in underground tunnels, fearing the hungry bears above. Celestine (voiced by Mack-enzie Foy in the English version) is a mouse with a passion for painting who gets caught by a bear while she's on the surface. The two strike a mutual agreement, making them mismatched friends and fugitives from their respective societies.It's a refreshing visual experience to see an unfamiliar animating style that still sings with the artistry and quality you'd expect from a top-tier Disney or Pixar film. Of course, the story is just as adorable as possible, with the artsy mouse unlocking the bear's love of music.
"Joe" (R) -- Nicolas Cage steps up in this violent drama that showcases the inherent talents of the otherwise oddball leading man. Joe (Cage) is hard-working guy in a backwoods town -- he has a heart of gold situated next to a boiling temper. Joe wants to do right and break the cycle, but he's always falling back into rage and outbursts. Joe hires 15-year-old Gary (Tye Sheridan) to his working crew, and takes the quiet boy under his wing. Gary's abusive father and Joe's protective nature could put Joe on a path to destruction or redemption.
"Authors Anonymous" (PG-13) -- In a hopeless group of aspiring authors, the least intelligent of them all is the first one to land a publishing agent. Henry (Chris Kline) wants to quit his day job and live the literary life, but he just can't explain the unexpected success of ditsy Hannah (Kaley Cuoco). It uses the mockumentary style of filmmaking popularized by Christopher Guest. "This is Spinal Tap" and "A Mighty Wind" put real comedic talent in front of the camera in a way that let bizarre characters step into the real world. This movie is the work of somebody who couldn't quite pull that off.

On June 7, 1692, a massive earthquake devas-tates the infamous town of Port Royal in Jamaica, killing thousands. A large tsunami hit soon after, putting half of Port Royal under 40 feet of wa-ter. In the 17th century, Port Royal was known throughout the New World as a headquarters for piracy and smuggling.
On June 4, 1754, 22-year-old Lt. Colonel George Washington begins construction of a makeshift Fort Necessity, near present-day Pittsburgh. The fort was built to defend his forces from French soldiers enraged by the murder of Ensign Joseph Coulon de Jumonville while in Washington's cus-tody.for the final time. The show is now remem-bered most for providing so many iconic mo-ments in the history of televised rock and roll.
On June 3, 1800, President John Adams becomes the first acting president to take up residence in Washington, D.C. Unfortunately, the White House was not yet finished, so Adams moved into temporary digs at Tunnicliffe's City Hotel near the also half-finished Capitol building.
On June 5, 1922, George Carmack, the first per-son to discover gold along the Klondike River, dies in Vancouver, British Columbia. In 1896, near the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike River, Carmack stumbled across a deposit of gold so rich that he needed no pan to see it: Thumb-sized pieces of gold lay scattered about the creek bed.
On June 2, 1935, Babe Ruth, one of the greatest players in the history of baseball, ends his Major League playing career after 22 seasons, 10 World Series and 714 home runs. The following year, Ruth was one of the first five players inducted into the sport's hall of fame

I shall be frank and honest with my response and provide resources
where appropriate.
This is hard for me to say, but my grandson is a slug. Darryn is 22, barely graduated from high school, still lives at home and has not held a job longer than to get a paycheck or two. My daughter pays for his cell phone, all his car expenses, buys his clothes, feeds him and even gives him an allow-ance. The other day I found Judith mowing the lawn. I asked why Darryn wasn’t doing this and she said he was supposed to but he had a head-ache. When we had lunch I said I would ask Darryn if he wanted to join us and she said ‘oh, he was feeling better and went out with friends.’ I said, ‘Are you serious? He was well enough to go out with friends but not to help you mow the lawn?’ Well, things escalated from there into a full out argument and I left early with her in tears. She thinks I’m too hard on him and I think she’s too easy. My son-in-law works in the oil fields and comes home every few months for a long weekend. He thinks it’s nice that Ju-dith isn’t alone. I think it’s a recipe for disaster. How can I correct this? Disgusted in Dalton Dear Disgusted, This is a sad scenario that has no reason to change. While troubling to you this arrange-ment is actually working for your daughter and your grandson. There is a cost and a benefit (or payoff) to every relationship, and to everything we do. Your daughter feels needed and is not alone and your grandson gets to live with no responsibility. The cost is evident to you but not to them. Counselling or therapy would be a good idea but I doubt they would be open to it. What can you do? Short of a good swift kick in the butt be like your son-in-law - love from a distance and allow things to take their course. Hard lessons are yet to be learned, but they are their lessons, not yours.
