TIDBITS® THROWS IN A LINE

WHAT A CATCH!by Patricia L. Cook

Fishing is a favorite pastime of people all over the world. It also is a great way to feed your family. You’ve probably heard the proverb: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” Let’s catch some fishy Tidbits!

• Valentine’s Day 2011 was a big day for a fisherman from Vicksburg, Mississippi, who caught a 327-pound (148 kg), 8-foot, 5.25-inch (2.6 m) alligator gar while fishing at Chotard Lake. The huge fish, believed to be between 50 and 70 years old, was donated to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science to be prepared for a future display. The alligator gar is the largest freshwater fish in America and quite terrifying with two rows of sharp teeth.

• That gar was big but not as big as the largest catfish ever caught. It was as big as a grizzly bear! The Mekong giant catfish, caught in the Mekong River in Thailand in 2005, was 9 feet long (2.7 m) and weighed 646 pounds (237 kg). It died as fishermen struggled for about an hour to capture it and became a tasty meal for the local villagers.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

• On Sept. 7, 1813, the United States gets its nickname when a New York newspaper refers to "Uncle Sam." The name is linked to meat packer Samuel Wilson, who supplied barrels of beef to the United States Army during the War of 1812. Wilson stamped the barrels with "U.S." for United States, but soldiers began referring to the grub as "Uncle Sam's."

• On Sept. 6, 1847, writer Henry David Thoreau moves in with Ralph Waldo Emerson in Concord,

Mass., after living for two years in a shack he built himself on Walden Pond. In 1854, his collection of essays, "Walden, or Life in the Woods," is published.

• On Sept. 10, 1919, almost a year after the end of the First World War, New York City holds a parade to welcome home Gen. John J. Pershing, commander in chief of the American Expeditionary Force, and some 25,000 soldiers who had served on the Western Front.

• On Sept. 11, 1930, Katherine Anne Porter's first collection of short stories, "Flowering Judas," is published. During her lifetime, she published 25 stories and one novel, "Ship of Fools," which took her more than two decades to complete.

• On Sept. 5, 1958, Boris Pasternak's romantic novel "Dr. Zhivago" is published in the United States. The book infuriated Soviet officials, but admirers of Pasternak's work began to smuggle

the manuscript out of Russia piece by piece. The book won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1958.

• On Sept. 9, 1965, Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax hurls the eighth perfect game in major-league history, leading the Dodgers to a 1-0 win over the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium. Koufax retired after the 1966 season at just 30 years old because of arthritis in his elbow.

• On Sept. 8, 1974, President Gerald Ford pardons his disgraced predecessor Richard Nixon for any crimes he may have committed or participated in while in office. The Watergate scandal erupted after it was revealed that Nixon and his aides had engaged in illegal activities. With impeachment proceedings under way, Nixon became the first American president to resign.

WHAT A CATCH! (continued):• How would you like to see a school bus

swimming in the waters near your boat? If you painted a whale shark yellow and put in some windows, that is about what you would see. Whale sharks are the biggest fish in the world. They can grow to more than 40 feet (12 m) in length and can weigh up to 30 tons (27 metric tons)!

• Whale sharks swim in warm ocean waters mostly near the equator. However, they have been occasionally spotted as far north as the Maritime Provinces of Eastern Canada. Whale sharks swims with their mouths open. Those mouths can be up to 5 feet (1.5 m) wide — large enough to fit a small car inside! (Hmmm. Remember the Bible story of Jonah being swallowed by the big fish?) The world’s biggest fish actually prefers small food, mostly plankton, sardines and other small fish. Whale sharks have more than 3,000 teeth, smaller than fingernails.

• Not as big as a whale shark, but to be feared more, is the bull shark. Bull sharks are very aggressive and can be found in freshwater as well as saltwater. They have been found in the Amazon and the Mississippi Rivers. They get their name from the fact that they head-butt their prey and have tough attitudes.

• A fish that appears to have a grouchy attitude is the grouper. With its lower jar protruding in a nasty under-bite, this fish is not good looking but is very tasty. This relative of the sea bass is a healthy favorite with restaurants and home cooks.

• The largest grouper on record caught with a rod and reel was pulled out of the water in Destin, Florida, on December 22, 1985. It weighed a whopping 436 pounds (198 kg)! 3rd Quarter 2011

WHAT A CATCH! (continued):• There are 162 species of grouper, with Red,

Nassau and Black, being the most common in America. They have some really odd little “friends” that help them. Cleaner fish are tiny fish that swim inside a grouper’s mouth and eat the food that is trapped between the big fish’s teeth. Who needs a dentist?!

• Grouper are bottom feeders, which means they typically swim and eat at the bottom of the water. Catfish are also bottom feeders. Some are even called “mudcats.”

• The 36th Annual World Catfish Festival was held in Belzoni, Humphreys County, Mississippi, on April 2 this year. This family event celebrates the catfish farming industry that started in the area in the 1960s. Since that time, U.S. catfish farming has grown tremendously. There are 466 million pounds (211,374 metric tons) processed annually. Of the 95,200 acres (38,526 ha) in the United States devoted to catfish farming, 64,000 acres (25,900 ha) are in Mississippi. About 95 percent of the farm-raised catfish in the United States is raised in the Southern states of Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama and Louisiana.

• Farm-raised catfish are not bottom feeders like wild catfish. They are raised in ponds of fresh water that are only 4 to 6 feet deep. The catfish are fed high protein feed pellets, made from soybean meal, corn and rice that float on top of the water. No. 1 in the South for many years, the popularity of catfish has spread across the country. With its consistent white meat and mild flavor, it is now the fifth most popular fish in America.

• Some really strange nicknames are given to another fish that is a favorite on dinner tables. “Whales,” Soakers” and “Barn Doors” are monikers for large halibut.

Do you know the best way to use leftover fish carcasses? Native Americans, specifically Squanto, taught the Pilgrims to bury fish heads where they planted corn, beans and other crops. Just be careful to bury the fish well, and if there are cats around, it may not be a good idea! After a fish die-off in a lake near Spokane, Washington, in July, 2010, volunteers delivered approximately 12,000 pounds (5443 kg) to a new composting facility. Coincidentally, the facility is located in Fishtrap, Wash.

The largest species in the salmon family is the taimen, found in freshwater lakes and rivers in Central Asia, Mongolia and Russia. These fish can live up to 50 years, weigh up to 200 pounds (90 kg) and grow to be 6.5 feet (2 m) long. They also can be fierce predators, chasing their prey in groups. They have earned their nicknames: “river wolves” or “Mongolian Terror Trout.”

After a horrible day sitting in the hot sun without catching a fish, Bob stopped at the market and asked for four catfish. He told the salesman, “Pick out four large ones and throw them at me.”“Why do you want me to throw them at you?” asked the salesman. “Because I want to tell my wife I caught them!”

Salmon is good for consumption whether wild or farm-raised, but wild is preferred. Of the fresh salmon consumed in the United States, 90 percent is farm-raised and more than half of it comes from Chile.

WHAT A CATCH! (continued):• Halibut the size of one caught in 2003 in

the Bering Sea, west of Anchorage, Alaska, definitely deserve any of those nicknames. The giant was 8 feet, 2 inches (2.4 m) long and weighed an estimated 533 pounds (242 kg). Five people struggled to pull it in!

• Halibut has firm, flaky snow-white meat. The fillets are called “fletches.” One halibut has four fletches. The real delicacies coming from halibut though are the “cheeks.” They, obviously, come from the head.

• Halibut are from a group of mostly saltwater, bottom-dwelling fish called flatfish. When these fish hatch, their eyes are normally on each side of the head. After they grow a bit, one eye moves closer to the other, and the mouth twists until the eyes and mouth are on top. The underside of a flatfish is white, but the top may be brightly colored. Many flatfish can change colors to match their surroundings, making for good camouflage. Some other flatfish are sole, turbot and the odd-looking flounder.

• We’ve saved what has become one of the best-selling catches for last in this Tidbits. Salmon has been growing in popularity, with many health reports sending it to the top of the charts for human consumption. It is considered one of the healthiest fish to eat: high in omega-3 essential fatty acids and protein and low in calories and saturated fat.

• Salmon is not only good for your heart and overall health, studies have also shown that it is great for your skin. Dermatologist Dr. Nicholas Perricone has written several books explaining how a diet consisting of high amounts of salmon can lead to wrinkle-free skin.

• Hopefully you have “caught” the message in this Tidbits: Fish are fun to catch and great for eating!

Don't Get Suckered by Job-Hunt Scams

Hunting for a job shouldn't have to include protecting yourself from possible scams, but the reality is that you must if you're doing your job search online.Fake job listings are everywhere: online job boards, email and phony company websites. Some are very creative and look authentic.Here are some keywords that are indicative of likely scams: Internet business development or coaching, business opportunity, work at home, refundable fee, guaranteed income, undisclosed federal jobs, guaranteed job, consultant and easy work.In spite of the ease of communicating via the Internet, if you've received an email offer or see an online

posting and don't know if it's genuine, ask for a phone number to call and speak to a human. Check out the phone number before you call. Try www.anywho.com and click on Reverse Lookup,

which also will give you the address. Do a Google search for the address, too.Learn how to tell the true address of an online link by putting your cursor over it and seeing if it matches the words before you click. Beware especially of any Internet address that consists mostly of numbers with a pattern like this: xxx.xx.xxxx. That's an indication of a new Internet address.If you get anonymous email and someone claims to want to hire you for a job you don't even remember applying for (quite possible if you're sending out lots of resumes), scammers likely will ask for information such as your Social Security number, date of birth, home address and even your credit-card availability and card number.Verify, verify, verify before you

give out personal information, including your Social Security number. If the job is a scam and you provide that number, as well as your name and address, you've just gift wrapped the means for identity theft.With email, a genuine address should include the company's name, not so-and-so at Gmail or Yahoo.com. You, on the other hand, can make use of one of those temporary email accounts because in time it's sure to fill with spam.If you sign up with a big online job list such as Monster.com, use a P.O box for your home address. Use an initial for your first name.Best bet: Hook up with multiple in-person personnel agencies or recruiters. They'll have access to the real jobs.

Is it really better to use plastic bags instead of paper at grocery stores? Not really. The monetary cost may be less, but the environment suffers when so many plastic bags get loose. Most of us have seen plastic bags flying in the wind, ending up on fences or in trees, littering otherwise attractive natural surroundings. One alternative is to use cloth bags.

People from all over the world visit the Dead Sea for its spas. There are many claims touting the benefits of the region’s solar radiation and climatic conditions, oxygen-enriched atmosphere, mineral-rich salty water, thermo-mineral springs and a therapeutic black mud. Supposedly the Queen of Sheba was the first to believe that the Dead Sea had healing powers, and Cleopatra had the world’s first spa built there.

Some scientists working on an island in the Pacific were chatting when one wondered aloud: “Our supplies should be arriving shortly. Why is it that if you transport something by car, it’s called a shipment, but when it is transported by ship, it’s called cargo? Doesn’t that seem a little backwards?”

A Chilean flamingo named “Pink Floyd” wintered at the Great Salt Lake in Utah after escaping from Tracy Aviary in Salt Lake City in 1987. He (gen-der uncertain) continued to live in the wild, surviving on brine shrimp. Floyd was last seen in 2005 in Idaho.

OVERCOMING THE ODDS:ERIK WEIHENMAYER

Born in Hong Kong on September 23, 1968, Erik Weihenmayer is an amazing athlete who has not only touched many people’s lives, he has touched the tops of the “Seven Summits.” This feat is ambitious for anyone but even more so for Erik, who lost his vision at age 13. • Weihenmayer was born with a degenerative

eye disease called retinoschisis and started his young life with thick glasses and some limited vision. Shortly after totally losing his vision, he also lost his mother in a tragic car accident. His father, an ex-Marine, was determined to keep his family strong in spite of the tragedies they had to endure. He took his three teenage sons on mountain climbing trips all over the world, including Nepal, South America and India.

• With his dad and brothers encouraging him, Weihenmayer persevered in spite of the difficulty. He has emerged today as a world-class athlete. He not only climbs mountains, he is a long-distance biker, acrobatic skydiver, marathon runner, skier, ice climber and rock climber.

• Weihenmayer graduated from Boston College in 1991 and earned his master’s degree in education from Lesley College in 1993. He taught middle school for six years. He also served as wrestling coach.

• On May 25, 2001, Weihenmayer reached the summit of Mount Everest, the world’s highest peak, becoming the only blind man in history to accomplish such a feat. He didn’t stop there though! When he stood on top of Carstenz Pyramid, the tallest peak of Australia/Oceania, on August 20, 2008, he completed his quest to climb the “Seven Summits,” the highest mountains on each of the seven continents of the world. Fewer than 100 mountaineers are able to claim this accomplishment.

• Thanks to his perseverance and persistence, Weihenmayer has not let his blindness keep him from accomplishing goals or leading an exciting and exhilarating life.



ERIK WEIHENMAYER (continued):

• Through the years, Weihenmayer has accomplished much. He has been honored with numerous awards, including: induction into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, the Helen Keller Lifetime Achievement Award, Nike’s Casey Martin Award, an ESPY award, the Freedom Foundation’s Free Spirit Award and more. He also carried the Olympic Torch for the summer and winter games.

• Today, Weihenmayer is a motivational speaker with a very busy schedule. When he is not on an outdoor adventure, he is encouraging others to find adventure and the courage to push their own limits. He is a follower when he needs to be but definitely a inspirational leader. “Leadership is contagious,” he said. “We pass it from body to body, from life to life, and we give all the people around us the courage to do great things.”

• Weihenmayer’s first book, “Touch the Top of the World” has been published in six languages in 10 countries. It was made into a feature film in 2006. He co-authored a second book with Paul Stoltz, titled “The Adversity Advantage.” A film about Weihenmayer and a group of six blind Tibetan teenagers he lead up a 23,000-foot (7010 m) peak near Mount Everest was made into a movie in 2007, titled “Blindsight.”

• As a motivational speaker, Weihenmayer has spoken to audiences all around the world. He says we all must realize the importance of teamwork, pursuing dreams and having the courage to reach for goals even when they seem impossible. He stresses that, “One does not have to have perfect eyesight to have extraordinary vision.”

STRANGE STRENGTH Have you ever walked through a spider web and had a hard time getting it off your clothes or out of your hair? Spiders’ webs have amazing strength. Some spiders spin silk that is considered to be the strongest fiber on earth: stronger than steel and stronger than Kevlar! • Way back in 1881, a physician in Tombstone,

Arizona, named George Emery Goodfellow pulled a silk handkerchief from the breast pocket of a man who was shot in a gun battle. The doctor found two bullets inside the hanky. The silk handkerchief had stopped the bullets from entering the man’s body. Dr. Goodfellow was intrigued and began studying the strength of silk.

• Kevlar is a manmade material discovered by scientists at DuPont in 1964. It is stronger than steel but expensive. It is used for military applications, like helmets and bulletproof vests, and many other everyday products, like tires. It has helped provide safety in areas where strength is important.

• Kevlar is not metal, yet it is stronger than steel. According to Tucker Norton of DuPont, a spider web is even stronger. “If you look in a spider web, and if you just took one single strand of that spider silk, that strand is stronger than steel as well — a lot like Kevlar,” said Norton. “The problem is, we haven’t figured out how to make that commercially at a large scale.”

• Spiders, eight-legged arachnids, and their ability to manufacture fragile-looking fibers that are pound-for-pound stronger than steel, have been studied for decades. The individual threads of spider silk are extremely strong. Scientists are amazed that spiders seem to be able to match tasks with the type of silk needed.

10 REASONSWhy Isagenix® is Your Anti-Aging Solution1. SLOW AGING FROM THE INSIDE OUTIsagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing™ products help eliminate harmful toxins and impurities from the body that can accelerate the aging process. These products also replenish the body with crucial nutrients for optimal health. The Rejuvity and other anti-aging products also address the need for optimal cellular nutrition that ultimately creates a new level of wellness, vitality, and youthful appearance from the inside out.

2. ADDRESS AGING ON ALL FRONTS-NOT JUST SKINThe skin is largely an indication of how the body is aging. If the body has been abused, neglected and malnourished, then the skin will reflect this. However, if the body’s cells, tissues and organs are protected from harmful pollutants and replenished with crucial nutrients, the skin will reflect this level of health by appearing vibrant, glowing and youthful.

3. NO HARSH CHEMICALS OR IRRITANTSThe anti-aging products in the Rejuvity and IsaDermix® lines do not use any harsh, irritating chemicals or compounds, including phthalates or parabens. Other common products that include harsh compounds often require downtime and may damage the skin further.

4. PROMOTE SKIN’S NATURAL PROCESSESAgeless Renewal Serum and other anti-aging skin products help minimize the appearance of deep wrinkles, support collagen production, improve elasticity and tone, and increase firmness by helping the skin remember what it has forgotten as we age.

5. BOOST ENERGY, VITALITY, AND OVERALL HEALTHIn addition to the superior skin care, Rejuvity and other Isagenix Nutritional Cleansing and Replenishing products slow biological aging of the entire body, leading to enhanced energy and a new level of vitality and improved overall wellness.6. SUPPORTED BY SCIENCEAll of the ingredients in Rejuvity and the other Isagenix anti-aging and replenishing products are supported by scientific research. In addition, many of the company’s own products - including Ageless Renewal Serum - have been specifically investigated in scientific trials with extremely positive results. A recent trial on Ageless Renewal Serum showed a 92% increase in the overall improvement of the skin, and the CoQ10 used in Ageless Actives has been shown to be 800% more absorbable than standard powder forms used in other products.

7. SUPERIOR QUALITYIsagenix prides itself in using only the highest quality ingredients. With Rejuvity and other anti-aging product lines, this commitment to quality continues.8. UNMATCHED INGREDIENT FORMULATIONSAll of the Isagenix product lines boast unmatched ingredient profiles you can’t find in any other product. These include the growth factors, polypeptides and actives in Ageless Renewal Serum, the lipid-based CoQ10 in Ageless Actives, and many more.

9. ISAGENIX IS AHEAD OF THE CURVEThe Isagenix Quality, Regulatory, Technology, Science (QRTS) teams use the latest scientific research to create life-changing products, thus solidifying its position as an industry leader.
