A tough follow

Mary's brother John, a great winemaker, first coined this phrase at one of the many dinners we shared around our table in Sonoma. "A tough follow" referred to when the second bottle we would open was perhaps not as good as we expected, and definitely not as good as the previous one we had consumed. As wine professionals here in North Idaho, though, it will take on a slightly different meaning in 2015 as we see changes in our great crew of distributor sales people. Those who are leaving will indeed make it a tough follow for those who will come after them!

Inflammation and your health and longevity

A great way to track habits is to utilize health-related applications or "apps" on your smart phone or tablet. Many mobile apps will sync to web apps as well.

Mulligan, anyone?

Golfing in Arizona one year with family and friends, I spent sometime declaring a few mulligans as I worked my way around the beautiful golf course. It might have been the desert air, or the fact I hadn't golfed in way too long, but we spent some time in the rough hunting for our golf balls and laughing hysterically at how such a shot had gone awry. I mean, we collected way more golf balls in the desert sand than were ours, so we just declared a mulligan, and moved back on to the course to take a "do over."

Let your mind help you achieve your goals in 2015

With the New Year almost here, it seems each year flies by a little faster as I find myself looking towards the future and what I want to accomplish in 2015. If you have read any of my articles, you know that I am a big fan of planning my destiny and not letting myself be pulled into reactionary mode from the current day's events. Each year, I look for opportunities to move me out of my comfort zone. I feel it is very important to believe in yourself, and sometimes, it is as simple as finding someone that has done what you want to do, and did it exceptionally well. You can then model what the person did in order to achieve your goal. Say for instance, you want to participate in an Ironman race one year from now. Find someone who has successfully trained and participated in the race and study what they did - food prep, exercises, daily schedules, etc. - so you can get laser-focused on a proven path to pursue. This person will give you the "recipe" for success if you are willing to listen and commit to a plan of action that you can immediately get started on.

In addition to "bad" yeasts, molds and fungus, our bodies also have beneficial yeasts, bacteria and other microbes that do wondrous things in our body.

When this delicate balance sways towards the bad microbes, illness or disease results. The good ones (commonly referred to as microflora), have many benefits: they support digestion, produce certain vitamins, fatty acids and proteins that the body needs, boosts immune function, and as already mentioned, protect the body from an overgrowth of potentially harmful bacteria, molds, yeasts and fungus. Some of these harmful pathogens that we would otherwise be protected against include Salmonella, cholera, the bad E. coli and candidiasis.

'Twas the night before

When I was little, I loved the magic of the poem "The Night Before Christmas." My parents had a well-worn book that had beautiful illustrated pictures, and they would read it to me each Christmas season. As soon as I could read it myself, I would slowly read each page and get lost in my imagination. I would pretend that St. Nicholas was coming to my house in Maryland, landing on our roof with his reindeer and sneaking in my living room to deliver the "goods." I would wait up as long as I could to try to get a peek of him. I wanted to know him. I wanted to watch him make his delivery. I wanted to see if he was really "jolly." I wanted to believe. I wanted to believe in something bigger and better than anything I'd ever known.

Oil and wine

Right now most of our loyal readers are questioning that headline, what could the two possibly have to do with each other? It turns out that the rapid drop in oil prices - a holiday gift for many of us, resulting in lower fuel costs - will likely moderate wine pricing as well. While supply and demand move the oil markets, a lesser-known cause of falling commodity prices will likely help what consumers pay for wine. All commodity trades around the globe are settled and paid for in U.S. dollars. Right now the dollar is strong versus other major currencies, and when the dollar is strong, the prices of commodities like oil and gold will drop if all else is held constant.

Serve yourself

Serving platters, polished silverware, and fancy glassware adorn the dining room table. Serving spoons crash onto plates as food is passed down the line of generations. Holidays dust off traditions, including food and how it's served. One particular tradition is family-style dining; the act of food served on platters from which the consumers serve themselves. Why is this detailed style important? What are the benefits? How do we make the time? Follow me as I de-construct the importance of serving family style.

DEER: Dalton or Snitch City?

Last week our illustrious mayor and City Council caved in to the anti-deer faction in Dalton Gardens by voting in a no feed/trapping ordinance.

Of course we must not forget the predator population which is probably lurking right around the corner.

Be wary of gifts

It is the time of year where families gather and share their love by exchanging gifts. For those of you expecting to sell a home in the near future this can create a problem. It is common knowledge that clutter is a detractor when showing a house. Most Realtors will advise you to pack up any personal effects that are not being used on a regular basis and place them out of sight in storage until a buyer can be found. Mini-mizing your possessions allows a buyer to envision their own in their place.

Here’s something to think over. I saw the picture of the little girl who had her 11th birthday on 12/13/14. I have an interesting birthday…I think. I was born on 1/9/38 — translates to 1938, right? The following year, my birthday was on 1/9/39 — translates 1939. Go year by year and each year for the rest of the 1900s, my birthday continued that sequence; 1/9/40 etc., up to 1/9/99 — 1999. No other century can have that, to my knowledge. Anyone born on Jan. 9, in the 1900s can say the same. Takes a little thought sometimes.

Is your thyroid function optimal?

If you have been told, "your thyroid is within normal limits;" but you are still feeling tired, depressed, you've gained some weight that just won't come off, or having a hard time warming up, these could be some of the many symptoms of hypothyroidism. Checking a TSH or free T4 does not give a true picture of what is really going on with your thyroid function. Free T3 is the active part necessary for the cells to function properly. T4 (thyroxine) and T3 (triiodothyronine) are important thyroid hormones. Yet, even with normal levels of T3 and T4, it's possible to still have the symptoms of hypothyroidism, which may be due to excessive production of rT3 in the body. Reverse T3 competes with T3 at important binding sites, which is a problem because rT3 is inactive and therefore not as beneficial as T3.

Germs are becoming increasingly more resistant to our antibiotics, and as a result, stronger, more potentially dangerous antibiotics are necessitated.

Antibiotics - and OTC's, because they're given out like candy - often miss the scrutiny given to other medications by wise consumers, but pose potentially serious side effects when misused.

Add cookie baking to your holiday list

While you may debate between crunchy or gooey, nutty or chocolaty, warm out of the oven or dunked in milk, chances are you like cookies. Cookies have been a long-held tradition since the first accidental cookie was created. In an attempt to test the temperature of an oven before baking a cake, a small amount of batter was baked. Eureka... the first "keokje," or "little cake" in Dutch. Since then, people have become increasingly creative with ways to bake (or not bake) these little snacks. Cookies have evolved into something that could be eaten for breakfast, or perhaps, ones that should not be eaten at all. Baking your own cookies can be an enjoyable, healthful, and less expensive way to enjoy a long-loved treat and nourish your body at the same time.

Diabetes during the holidays

Holidays are filled with joyous gatherings, traditions, and many delicious treats. The holidays may also be one of the most stressful times of the year. Stresses can include traveling, preparing for a large gathering, shopping, decorating, and cooking. Busy schedules can lead to physical inactivity. Diabetes is a challenging disease that requires careful planning to manage one's health. This can be especially challenging during the holidays.

Knitting helps prevent the holiday blues

With the holidays upon us, we often find our emotions in full swing from jubilation to overwhelmed and despairing. There are many reasons to rejoice, but the challenges of holiday shopping, family issues, and more demands on an already overbooked schedule can often dampen our spirits. While there's no easy solution for turning the tide on the winter blues, evidence is showing that knitting and crochet can improve your mood and help battle depression. In one study of more than 3,500 knitters published in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, 81 percent of respondents with depression reported feeling happy after knitting. More than half reported feeling 'very happy.'

Testosterone in men

The counterpart to the female menopause is called andropause (or the "male menopause").

However, the decline in male hormone production is much more gradual than the decline in female hormone production.

MILLIE: Show some dignity

Well, well, well, it seems “MS Millie” is just a sore loser. Instead of taking her “trashing” like she deserves, now she’s just being plain old MEAN!

MILLIE: Guilty of a snow job

OK Millie, quit painting all of California with your anti-Idaho brush. You want to talk snow? Snow near Tahoe has architects and engineers designing roofs for 400 pounds per foot snow loads. In Post Falls, 40 pounds per foot has people shoveling rooftops and has been an anomaly recently.

Dancing their way to Disneyland

COEUR d'ALENE - Twelve North Idaho girls have been repeatedly listening - and dancing - to "Let It Snow" until they get each note and every step right.

MILLIE: Return to your toilet

Poor Millie. It wasn’t enough for you to insult the city of Post Falls, and the state of Idaho. Now you’ve started insulting the residents as well. So I have two questions.

RIGHTS: Praise the defenders

Sometimes we or at least I don’t really appreciate the work that others do on our behalf. This is the case of our own Tony Stewart.

Editorial: Public deserves knowledge of police behavior

The saga of Arfee, the black Lab mix killed by a Coeur d'Alene police officer, has been a source of agitation for nearly two months, partly because the public was left in the dark.

This year's "Traditions of Christmas" holiday show will bring some old favorites to the stage, and offer audiences some new surprises.

SHADOWS: Shed light on white

In response to Tony Stewart’s article “Stepping Out of the Shadows,” I beg to differ with his opinion. The white conservative ratio to minorities whether they be LGBT or nationalities is not such a bad thing for Idaho, many of the white conservatives that have flocked to this area came from minority rich cities or states. Many of these people who came were either fire department, police, or public servants. The equal minorities or higher minorities to white ratio is the reason they moved here, if you have lived in those environments it’s easy to see why they wanted less of the high minority environment. As we wallow in reverse discrimination throughout the nation, it’s not OK to be a white conservative. If we were able to reach this utopia of diversity in Idaho, would we then be able to hear the call to daily prayer that our president feels is the most beautiful sound to hear from our new mosque in Coeur d’Alene? We can openly be gay in the military and sports, basically anything goes in the new America — drugs, sex and political corruption. Is it too much to ask for a small portion of the nation to be conservative or predominately white?

PRESS: Buried important news

Reading through Friday’s paper, I saw many articles that true to this Thanksgiving season made one be thankful for so many blessings we’ve received. Then I came across way back in your paper, last article of the last section C, right before the Legals…your reporting on how President Obama has blessed us once again with his amnesty Executive Order. C’mon Coeur d’Alene Press, wasn’t this news enough to rate at least the first or second section? I wonder how many of your readers saw the article and read that many illegal immigrants who obtain work permits now will be eligible for Social Security and Medicare benefits. The key word here is “illegal.” And just who is going to foot that bill pushed down by Mr. Obama to all of us? You guessed it.

MOBS: Consider real roots of hate

I am from the Bronx, and I was there to witness the 1977 Blackout looting and riots. As a result, I loathe and detest mobs, believing them to be a unique form of collective temporary insanity. Members of a mob are possessed by the “demon” of anonymous rage and give up their scruples, their values, their morality, their mind and their very soul. Human beings should never, ever do this to themselves. What mobs do should never, ever be visited upon their friends, neighbors and neighborhoods. I remember the Bronx in the late 1970s as similar to Berlin 1945, because of the scores of burned out buildings and whole city blocks abandoned to the torch. The black and Puerto-Rican residents of some of the worst slums on Earth, including several of my own blood-relatives, literally destroyed their own homes, their own streets, and the few business that had the guts to service those crime-plagued communities and provide their residents with local jobs. The aftermath was such a profound aftershock that the trauma echoed through these blocks to at least our immediate family’s final departure in 1981.
