TIDBITS® ASKS THE AGE OLD QUESTION

WHICH CAME FIRST?by Kathy Wolfe

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? While we may never solve this great debate, Tidbits can keep us informed of some of the interesting facts about each of them, while celebrating May as National Egg Month.• It’s believed that the first chickens came to

North America with Christopher Columbus on his second voyage here in 1493. There are now about 200 different breeds, with approximately 280 million laying hens in the U.S., each one producing about 250 to 300 eggs a year. Those seven billion eggs comprise about 10 percent of the world’s supply.

• If brown bread is better for you, does that mean that brown eggs are, too? Not at all! There is no nutritional, flavor, or hygienic difference between brown and white eggs. It’s all about what kind of chicken laid the egg. Rust-colored chickens, such as the Rhode Island Red and Plymouth Rock, lay brown eggs, while white eggs are laid by white fowl, such as the White Leghorn. The Leghorn accounts for about 90 percent of North America’s egg-laying chickens.

Q: How can you drop an egg six feet without breaking it?

A: By dropping it seven feet; it won’t break for the first six!

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.

May 16 - May 22Page 2

WHICH CAME FIRST? (continued):• A hen lays about 300 eggs a year, beginning at

19 weeks of age. The older she gets, the larger eggs she produces. It takes her about 24 to 26 hours to produce an egg. Thirty minutes after one egg is laid, she begins the process all over again.

• Most eggs are laid between the hours of 7 and 11 a.m. The hen needs about 5 oz. of food and 10 oz. of water to create one egg.

• Farmers can improve egg production just by regulating the lighting in the henhouse. The hens will lay more eggs if they’re fooled into thinking a day is 28 hours long.

• The color of an egg yolk is dependent on what the hen eats. Hens consuming yellow corn or alfalfa produce eggs with medium yellow yolks, while those who eat feed with wheat or barley yield egg yolks of a lighter color. A yolk can be almost colorless if the hen is fed white corn meal. Since farmers are not permitted to add artificial colors to feed, some add natural yellow-orange materials, such as flower petals.

• Although the albumen is also called the egg white, it’s not really white until it’s beaten or cooked. Two-thirds of the egg’s liquid weight is contained in the albumen, as well as more than half of the egg’s protein. The fresher the egg, the cloudier the egg white. This is due to the presence of carbon dioxide inside the egg when it is laid. Since a fresh egg has had less time for the CO2 to escape, the white is cloudy.

• There are about 17,000 tiny pores covering an egg’s surface through which the egg can absorb flavors and odors. That’s why it’s important to keep them in a carton. The carton also helps keep them fresh for at least four to five weeks after their pack date. Leaving eggs on the kitchen counter for just one day ages them more than refrigerator storage of one week. Eggs are more likely to dry up than to rot.



WHICH CAME FIRST?(continued):• A person suffering from alektorophobia is

afraid of chickens. • In order to be classified as Extra Large, a dozen

eggs must weigh at least 27 oz. A dozen Large eggs must be 24 oz., and Medium, 21 oz. per dozen.

• If you crack open a double-yolked egg, it was probably produced by a young hen whose production cycle is not yet controlled. She might also turn out an egg with no yolk at all! Older hens that lay extra large eggs can also produce multi-yolked eggs. In fact, the record-setting egg held nine yolks. Other records set in the egg department include the largest chicken egg ever laid (one pound, with a double yolk and a double shell), and the most eggs laid by a chicken in a single day (seven).

• Having trouble peeling hard-boiled eggs? They will peel more easily if they are at least a week old before being boiled. Can’t remember if an egg is raw or hard-boiled? Try spinning it. If it spins easily, it’s been boiled. A raw egg wobbles.

• If you see a grayish ring around the yolk of a hard-boiled egg it’s probably because you cooked it too long. A high iron content in the cooking water can also be a contributor. For best results with hard-boiled eggs, cool them quickly in a bowl of ice water.

• One of our favorite pie toppers originated in the Swiss village of Merhrinyghen in 1720. A pastry chef named Gasparini whipped up egg whites and sugar and created what is known as meringue. To make perfect meringue, bake on a dry day. Damp, humid days cause meringue to be limp and sticky. Avoid even the tiniest bit of fat on the bowl and utensils, and take care when separating the eggs, as just the smallest smidgen of yolk can ruin meringue.

The 1928 presidential campaign of Herbert Hoover utilized the slogan, “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” And while Hoover didn’t make this a promise, he did say that a vote for him would be a vote for continued prosperity. The stock market crash of 1929 quickly dispelled that thought!

MAY ISNATIONAL MILITARY

APPRECIATION MONTHbirthstone: emerald

A pig and a chicken were walking by a church where a large charity event was taking place. Swept up in the enthusiasm, the pig suggested to the chicken that they each make a contribution. “Great idea!” the chicken cried, “Let’s offer them ham and eggs!” “Not so fast,” said the pig, quite annoyed. “For you, that’s a contribution. For me, it’s a total commitment.”

Roosters are very protective of their hens and will strike out at anything they feel is a danger to them. Their legs are equipped with small spurs on the back that can cause painful puncture wounds to any perceived threat.

Deer DeterrentsBy Tresa Erickson

Deer are known for nibbling on plants, whether in the wild or in your garden. That’s right. If deer are hungry enough, they will not hesitate to come into your yard and have a bite. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to make your lawn and garden less tantalizing.

While hunger will drive deer to eat al-most anything, there are some plants they will shy away from. Anything over-ly aromatic, bitter, coarse, fuzzy, poi-sonous or spiny will not appeal to them. Study the plants in your lawn and garden and consider replacing some of the ones that deer find extra tasty with ones they don’t. Common favorites among deer in-clude azalea bushes, balsam and Fraser firs, berry plants, dogwoods, fruit trees, Norway maples, redbuds and yews. Deer

also like to nibble on flowers, in particu-lar chrysanthemums, clematis, daylil-ies, hyacinths, roses and tulips. They eat vegetables as well, most often beans, broccoli, lettuce, peas and sweet corn.

Since you can’t replace every plant in your lawn and garden, you will probably want to incorporate some deterrents. Protect your individual plants by coat-ing them with hot pepper or soap spray or encircling them with unappetizing substances, like blood meal, fabric soft-ener, garlic, hair, mothballs, rotten fish heads, sewage or thorny branches. Fence in your garden on all sides, making sure the fence extends partly underground and stands eight feet tall. That way, the deer won’t be able to squeeze under it or jump over it.

Deer detest bright light and loud noise, so don’t be afraid to set up floodlights or get out the fire-crackers, noisemak-

ers or whis-tles whenever you catch sight of a deer in your yard. You might also use elec-tric wires or sprinklers to make deer turn the other way.

Even with the best of efforts, you may still find some deer nibbling away in your lawn and garden. To distract them, con-sider planting some of their favorites in the far corner of your lawn and garden. They just might feast there and leave your prized plants alone.

IT SEEMS THAT THE NEW MIDDLE CLASS 550cc MACHINES HAVE STARTED TO FIND THEIR GROOVE IN THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS. SOME MANUFACTURERS STILL OFFER A 500cc MIDDLE WEIGHT. THERE ARE 2 THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING INTO THE LIGHT AND DO SOME STRAIGHT UP COMPARISON OF THE SPECS, AND FEATURES. AND LETS REMEMBER I AM COMPARING APPLES TO APPLES BECAUSE BOTH OF THESE MACHINES ARE 550cc WITH E.P.S.(ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING), AND FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. LETS TAKE THE 550 GRIZZLY E.P.S. AND THE POLARIS SPORTSMAN 550 E.P.S AND BREAK EACH OF THESE MACHINES DOWN BY THE NUMBERS.FIRST THE ENGINE. YAMAHA’S ENGINE IS A 558cc SINGLE OVERHEAD CAM 4 VALVE HEAD, POLARIS’S ENGINE IS A 549cc SINGLE OVER HEAD CAM AND THE AMOUNT OF VALVES IN THE HEAD IS NOT POSTED SO I CAN’T SAY FOR SURE HOW MANY VALVES ARE IN THE HEAD. WELL JUST BY TAKING A LOOK AT THESE SPECS I THINK YAMAHA HAS A LITTLE BIT OF AND ADVANTAGE WITH JUST A SLIGHT LARGER ENGINE THAN THE POLARIS MODEL. NOW WE WILL MOVE TO THE RACKS AND CAPACITIES. IT SEEMS POLARIS HAS A ADVANTAGE OVER YAMAHA ON THE COMBINED FRONT AND REAR RACK CAPACITIES. TOTAL FOR THE POLARIS IS 360 AND TOTAL FOR THE YAMAHA IS 286. THE RACKS ON THE POLARIS SEEM TO BE SOME SORT OF HYBRID SET UP AS OPPOSED TO THE TRADITIONAL STYLE ON THE YAMAHA. I WILL LEAVE LIKE OR DON’T LIKE OF THE RACKS UP TO YOU. NEXT WE WILL COMPARE 4WD SYSTEM. THE YAMAHA HAS PUSH BUTTON ENGAGEMENT FOR BOTH 4WD AND DIFF LOC, WHICH LOCKS THE FRONT TIRES WITH THE REAR SO THAT ALL FOUR TIRES PULL AT THE SAME TIME. POLARIS OFFERS PUSH BUTTON ALL WHEEL DRIVE BUT ONLY WHEN THE REAR TIRES SLIP. SO THE MACHINE ACTUALLY DECIDES WHEN THE RIDER NEEDS 4WD AND NOT THE RIDER. ALSO WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL AND UTILIZING ENGINE BRAKING IT SEEMS THAT WITH THE YAMAHA YOU CAN HAVE ALL 4 WHEELS DOING THE BRAKING FOR YOU AND

YOU CAN ONLY HAVE THE REAR 2 OF THE POLARIS BRAKING FOR YOU DUE TO THEIR “ALL WHEEL DRIVE” SYSTEM. IM PROBABLY GOING TO LEAN TOWARDS YAMAHA HAVING AND ADVANTAGE ON BOTH THE 4WD AND ENGINE BRAKING DEPARTMENT. ALL SPECS WERE GATHERD OFF OF BOTH MANUFACTURERS WEBSITE. TAKE A LOOK FOR YOUR SELF AND COMPARE AND SEE WHO HAS THE CLEAR ADVANTAGE. THANKS FOR READING. Article provided by John Moulton, Glenrock Motorsports

WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES

From slippers to running shoes to boots, folks don different shoes for different reasons. This week, Tidbits brings you a small variety of foot-wear facts.• When Englishman Roger Bannister donned his

running shoes on May 6, 1954, who knew that he would become the first man to run a mile in less than four minutes? He set his record time of 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds at the Iffley Road Track in Oxford, England, as 3,000 spectators looked on. His monumental record endured for only 46 days, when it was broken by his Australian rival, John Landy, who was about 1.5 seconds faster. Bannister went on to become a noted neurologist and Master of Pembroke College, Oxford. When asked if he viewed his running record as his most important achievement, he replied that his 40 years as a neurologist were much more significant.

• Although we think of Elvis Presley when the hit “Blue Suede Shoes” is mentioned, it was first a hit for its writer, Carl Perkins, in 1956. As Perkins played a dance gig a few months earlier, he overheard a young man say to his girlfriend, “Don’t step on my suedes.” That very night he went home and wrote the blockbuster hit on a brown paper sack.

• From 1956 to 1977, Edson Arantes do Nascimento of Brazil put on his shoes to play football. While he called them football shoes, we refer to them as soccer shoes. Edson was better known as Pele, the all-time leading scorer of Brazil’s national football team and a member of three victorious World Cup teams.

• You’re mistaken if you think Lady’s Slippers are dancing shoes. They are actually members of the orchid family, and are the official flower of Minnesota and Prince Edward Island, Canada.

Dental Insurance

Before you buy dental insurance, consider whether it will actually save you any money. Investigate a number of types of policies before you buy.Call your own dentist office to see what plans it accepts. Be sure the insurance company you're considering has your dentist on its list. If you know you need work done, ask your dentist for a list and compare it to what the insurance will cover for each procedure. Consider the type of policy you want: • Traditional -- You pay a monthly premium and have a percentage of your costs covered.• Direct Reimbursement -- You pick any dentist

and pay for the work, and the insurance company sends you a check.• In-Network -- You're required to go to a dentist on the plan's list, but you might not be charged extra fees because the policy dictates which dentist you see and how much the dentist can charge.Consider the level of coverage the plan offers:• Basic: Extractions, which might or might not cover root canals.• Major: Implants and bridges likely won't be covered unless specified in the policy.• Preventive: Exams and cleaning are standard, but extra services such a fluoride might not be covered.Read the fine print:• Policies don't always agree on what is basic or major work. If you have a missing tooth and want to consider getting a bridge, it's possible the plan won't cover it because the tooth wasn't in place when the policy started.• Is there a waiting period? Is it for all procedures, or just the more expensive ones such as crowns?• Is there a yearly maximum? Most companies cut off benefits at $1,000 per year.

• Existing conditions? Chances are the policy won't cover those.• Are emergencies covered? Be sure to do the math. Every year the deductible will reset. Add up your monthly premiums plus the deductible. That's the amount you'll pay on a yearly basis.If you don't have a dentist, check the policy information for dentists in your area. Then call to find out which offices are taking new patients. Ask to be sure they're still accepting that insurance, as not all of them will take a new patient.Find more information on the American Dental Association's website: www.ada.org. Put "dental insurance" in the search box.

WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES

From slippers to running shoes to boots, folks don different shoes for different reasons. This week, Tidbits brings you a small variety of foot-wear facts.• When Englishman Roger Bannister donned his

running shoes on May 6, 1954, who knew that he would become the first man to run a mile in less than four minutes? He set his record time of 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds at the Iffley Road Track in Oxford, England, as 3,000 spectators looked on. His monumental record endured for only 46 days, when it was broken by his Australian rival, John Landy, who was about 1.5 seconds faster. Bannister went on to become a noted neurologist and Master of Pembroke College, Oxford. When asked if he viewed his running record as his most important achievement, he replied that his 40 years as a neurologist were much more significant.

• Although we think of Elvis Presley when the hit “Blue Suede Shoes” is mentioned, it was first a hit for its writer, Carl Perkins, in 1956. As Perkins played a dance gig a few months earlier, he overheard a young man say to his girlfriend, “Don’t step on my suedes.” That very night he went home and wrote the blockbuster hit on a brown paper sack.

• From 1956 to 1977, Edson Arantes do Nascimento of Brazil put on his shoes to play football. While he called them football shoes, we refer to them as soccer shoes. Edson was better known as Pele, the all-time leading scorer of Brazil’s national football team and a member of three victorious World Cup teams.

• You’re mistaken if you think Lady’s Slippers are dancing shoes. They are actually members of the orchid family, and are the official flower of Minnesota and Prince Edward Island, Canada.
