Thanks to
everyone who wrote in with your suggestions about who should be our Member of
the Month for August! There were several names put forth, and it was a
difficult decision as all of the candidates are members who deserve this recognition!
Unfortunately, only one member each month can be the recipient of this
honor. Keep those submissions coming,
because we recognize a member for each month. So, without further ado:
Congratulations
to Hugh Gillis for becoming our August Member of the Month!
Now, here
is a bit more about our friend, Hugh!
I had a
wonderful time interviewing Hugh Gillis, who was chosen as the Out-Of-Sight
Superstar for this month. He lives in
Hugh
first met the love of his life, MaryNel, when she was
11 years old. Then they met some years later, and were married. They have four
children; 2 daughters and 2 sons. MaryNel passed away
two years ago after dealing with an illness. It was two months shy of what
would have been their 49th wedding anniversary. Hugh has 7 grandchildren and 8
great grandchildren, with number 9 due in November. He absolutely loves to
spend time with all of his grand and great grandkids. Most of his family lives
close by. In fact, as I was conducting this interview, which was around 10:00
PM, I could hear his 8 month old grandson babbling in the background. I think
he had something to contribute to this interview. Perhaps, he wanted to say
that his grandpa is the best!
Hugh
enjoys college football, and listens all day long. He is a dedicated
Hugh
found out about Out-Of-Sight from a friend of his, and has been with it since
it originated. Hugh remembers a music game from some years back which he really
liked. He said that you pick a year, and the host would play a song and it was
the participants job to name the song and artist. He
would pick the 40’s and 50’s, because according to him, that was real music. He
told me anything after that was not worth listening too. I, of course, disagreed
with him. Hugh may not actively participate in many games but he is usually in
the quote, audience, end quote. He likes to listen and
learn. He likes to socialize in The Front Porch chat room with others. He calls
is socializing but he told me that his wife called it flirting. You be the judge, and come and chat with him in The Front Porch!
If you
would like to send Hugh a message of congratulations, or recommend someone for
our September Member of the Month, please write to:
We look
forward to your suggestions in selecting our next Out-Of-Sight Superstar!

I missed
a few classes at the start of the school year. When finally I began my studies,
one class had to do with music. The kids were singing notes. The teacher would
start the singing and everybody knew what notes to sing. How did they know what to sing? I figured
that they learned what each note sounded like. How could I catch up with the class?
I began
the task of learning the sound of each note. I would play a note at random on
the piano without looking to see what key i struck. I
would guess the name of the note and then check to see what key I hit. I
managed to memorize the sound of a note so that when the kids did that singing
exercise, I knew what to sing.
Eventually
I was told that if a person heard the first note in a series, he could easily
sing other notes in a series because he learned to judge the pitch of the note
by recalling the sound of the first note he heard. This is called, relative
pitch. It was a lot easier to learn the relationships between notes, rather
than to learn the sound of a given note, regardless of its relationship.
When a
person can sing the name of a given note without relying on other note cues,
this is called, perfect pitch. Actually, the recall is not perfect. It might be
close to the actual sound, or frequency, of a note, but it will not be exact.
Most of
the time I will be close to a note, but once in awhile, I will think a note is
a half step higher than its true pitch. That is hardly perfect.
The
ability to hear notes can be helpful. I could walk into a jam session and I am
able to join in immediately, without asking what key the piece is in. That is a
blessing.
This
ability can also be a curse. Many pianos are badly maintained, which probably
means that their pitch is much lower than it should be. When I play such an
instrument, I will not hear the correct sound of the note I just played. For
example, when I plan to play a song in A Flat I play the first chord, an A Flat
chord. The next one, perhaps, should be an E Flat 7th. I am likely to play a D
7th instead, because the A Flat I played was really a G.
Over time
I have learned to overcome this, but it is nevertheless disconcerting.
I hope this brief glimpse into this aspect of
music will be of at least some
interest.

In these
dog days of summer, as we try to beat the heat, we cannot go far without
hearing all about the importance of drinking water. It is to help keep us
hydrated and it certainly quenches our thirst on all those really hot
days. The majority of the body's weight is due to water, so, we need to
keep topping up our water consumption to account for the water loss through swet and urine. Now, do not get any ideas, you cannot
lose weight by stopping water consumption because that will only lead to more
serious problems like dehydration. You need a lot of water each day, not
only to not feel thirsty, but, to also help keep up the body's organ functions.
Drinking soda or coffee does not count towards your daily water consumption
even though they contain water. These drinks negate the value of the
water that they contain, because they actually dehydrate you in the long
run. OK, enough reminders about the benefits of drinking water for our
body.
Here are some interesting facts about water usage in our daily lives.
1. Set in the
2. Since 1950, water usage in the
3. Even though each person only requires
48 liters of water on a daily basis, for all aspects of daily living,
individuals in the
4. Of all the water that enters each
household, about 95% of it ends up down the drain.
5. With access to just 5 liters of water
each day, more than a billion people in water poor regions around the globe
survive on the same amount used to flush a toilet or take a 5 minute shower.
6. If you shorten your showers by just a
single minute, you can save approximately 700 gallons of water in a month.
7. Letting the tap run when you brush
your teeth wastes up to 4 gallons of water every time.
8. It takes an average of 300 gallons to
water your lawn. During the summer, this can account for almost half of your
water usage.
9. Every time you throw your clothes in
the washer, you use about 50 gallons of water.
10. Another wasteful desert endeavor,
the Waveyards water park in Mesa, Arizona will
require up to 100 million gallons of groundwater every year in an area that
receives a mere 8 inches of rainfall in that time.

We got our
name from the Portuguese, who were the first Europeans to discover the island.
The island was already inhabited by the Carib and Arawak Indians though. The Portuguese saw the bearded fig trees and named it Os
Barbados in honour of them. Although the Portuguese
did not stick around after that, the name did and it was altered by the English
who first came in 1625 and returned to settle in 1627.

laid back kind of people. We love to enjoy life. We love our music (calypso),
our sports, and we love our food. The national dish of

Our music
is such a big part of our lives that you cannot really say you are a Bajan if you do not feel it. Calypso is in our blood. Every
year, we celebrate Crop Over, our national music festival. Crop Over comes at
the end of the sugar cane harvest, hence the name. For weeks, there fetes,
shows and competitions and it all culminates in one big parade, (street party)
on Kadooment Day, always the first Monday in August.
Thousands of revelers pour into the national stadium in their colourful costumes. Each band parades before the judges
competing for prizes such as Most Colourful Band and

Hi
everyone! This month I thought I would
focus on something called Mindful Living, which is just being aware of your
daily activities. For instance, at the end of the day, are you aware of how
much water you drank? How many calories did you consume? Did you take in more calories than you
expended? Did you get a sufficient and restful sleep? How much exercise did you make time for
today? Did you spend too much time on
the computer? We often do things that we
are unaware of and that are done in an unconscious manner. For instance, many
people find themselves working at the computer, or watching a TV program, only
to find out after a while, that they have eaten a whole bag of chips or a bag
of cookies! Have you ever done something like this without even realizing it?
You are not alone!
Another
way of expressing mindful living is to be accountable to yourself for your
health and how you feel. Perhaps, make a chart, a list, or even some rules to
help guide you through the process of making changes. For instance, make a commitment to workout
certain days and times of the week. Or,
set aside the amount of water you need to commit to drinking each day, so it
will help you stay aware.
Here are
some questions that you can ask yourself to help monitor how you are doing each
day. The answers to these questions will enable you to create a chart or list,
which will assist you in marking your progress, and see what areas need some
extra effort. Here are some examples of
questions you could ask yourself.
-
How much water did you drink today?
-
Did you get any exercise?
-
What types of food did you eat today?
-
How many fruits and vegetables did you eat?
-
Did you eat any junk food?
-
How much sugar did you take in?
-
Did you go for a walk?
-
What time did you go to bed?
-
Did you sleep well?
-
How much soda did you drink?
-
How many cups of coffee did you drink?
-
How was your energy level?
-
How often do you get a headache?
-
How many medications do you take?
-
Are you on a regular daily routine of activity each
day?
-
How many processed foods do you eat each day?
-
What are your short term and long term goals?
Many of
us go through each day unconsciously of exactly what we are, and are not doing
as far as taking care of our health needs is concerned. Not asking these type of questions and not being aware can lead to feeling
depressed, tired, or becoming overweight, not to mention a whole host of other
consequences.
Sometimes,
the thought of making big changes is very overwhelming. Start small.
Be mindful. Be aware. Make one
small change, and then add on another, slowly, but surely. Keep track of your
success. This is very helpful in staying
motivated. Remember, that your health is your responsibility, so start small,
and make a change, one healthy choice at a time.
If you have any questions for

Just in
case you did not fully celebrate National Ice Cream month in July, you can
redeem your Patriotism with this recipe.
1
Chocolate cookie crumb pie crust
4 Pints of ice cream, (use different, but complementary flavors)
1 Jar of caramel, or butterscotch sauce
1 Jar of fudge sauce
Whipped cream and maraschino cherries to garnish
Directions:
This can
be created one layer at a time by re-freezing it before adding the next ice
cream flavor. This takes longer, but
makes for much less hassle with melting ice cream. Soften the ice cream enough to get it out of
the containers, and spread it into the pie.
Layer the first flavor into the pie crust and cover it with a coating of
caramel sauce. Layer the second flavor
and cover it with a coating of fudge sauce.
Add the next flavor layer of ice cream, and repeat with caramel
sauce. Layer the final ice cream flavor,
and cover the pie with fudge sauce.
Garnish with whipped cream and cherries.
Return the pie to the freezer until 15 minutes before serving. This will give it time to soften, which will
make slicing easier. .
Note: If you would like to make this a grasshopper
pie, then Use
only fudge sauce and mint ice cream.

Dear

that my boyfriend is constantly texting on his cellphone
every second. It has gotten to the point that that he runs down the battery on
his phone, and always needs to borrow my battery. He really cannot stop himself! He cannot even wait until his own battery
recharges! He is just so addicted to his
texting, which it is interfering with our free time. Can I tell him quote, no,
end quote, when he asks to borrow my battery once his runs out?
Signed,
Texting
Go Away
Angela Capelli
Dear
Complainer,
What the
heck is texting? All of these new
fangled gadgets are making my head spin.
I am still confused on how to use my cordless phone. What happened to
sending a telegram, postcard, or smoke signal? I used to receive the nicest
letters from all of my beaus that arrived in the mailbox. They were handwritten and sealed with a
kiss. SWAK, remember that? I do not get all of this stuff they call
technology. You should run your battery down as well, so now you are both
without that growth extending out of your ear.
Insincerely,
BB

High
in fiber, low in fat, and a tiny spirit in every kernel. Native
Americans believed that a spirit lived in each kernel of popcorn. Here are 20 things you did not know about
popcorn.
1. Popcorn's
scientific name is zea mays
everta, and it is the only type of corn that will
pop.
2. People have
been enjoying popcorn for thousands of years. In 1948, popped kernels around
5,000 years old were discovered in caves in
3. It is believed
that the Wampanoag Native American tribe brought popcorn to the colonists for
the first Thanksgiving in
4. Traditionally,
Native American tribes flavored popcorn with dried herbs and spices, possibly
even chili. They also made popcorn into soup and beer and made popcorn
headdresses and corsages.
5. Some Native
American tribes believed that a spirit lived inside each kernel of
popcorn. The spirits would not usually
bother humans, but if their home was heated, they would jump around, getting
angrier and angrier, until eventually they would burst out with a pop.
6. Christopher
Columbus allegedly introduced popcorn to the Europeans in the late 15th
century.
7. The first
commercial popcorn machine was invented by Charles Cretors
in
8. American
vendors began selling popcorn at carnivals in the late 19th century. When they
began to sell outside movie theaters, theater owners were initially annoyed, fearing
that popcorn would distract their patrons from the movies. It took a few years
for them to realize that popcorn could be a way to increase revenues, and
popcorn has been served in movie theaters since 1912.
9. Nowadays, many
movie theaters make a greater profit from popcorn than they do from ticket
sales, since for every dollar spent on popcorn, around ninety cents is pure
profit. Popcorn also makes moviegoers thirsty and more likely to buy expensive
sodas.
10. What makes
popcorn pop? Each kernel contains a small amount of moisture. As the kernel is
heated, this water turns to steam. Popcorn differs from other grains in that
the kernel's shell is not water permeable, so the steam cannot escape and
pressure builds up until the kernel finally explodes, turning inside out.
11. On average, a
kernel will pop when it reaches a temperature of 347 degrees Fahrenheit (175
degrees Celsius).
12. Unpopped kernels are called old maids, or spinsters.
13. There are two
possible explanations for old maids. The first is that they did not contain
sufficient moisture to create an explosion. the second
is that their outer coating (the hull) was damaged, so that steam escaped
gradually, rather than with a pop. Good popcorn should produce less than 2
percent old maids.
14. Ideally, the
moisture content of popcorn should be around 13.5 percent, as this results in the fewest old maids.
15. Popcorn is
naturally high in fiber; low in calories; and sodium-, sugar-, and fat-free,
although oil is often added during preparation, and butter, sugar, and salt are
all popular toppings.
16. Americans
consume 17 billion quarts of popped popcorn each year. That is enough to fill
the Empire State Building 18 times!
17.
18. There are at
least five contenders claiming to be the Popcorn Capital of the World due to
the importance of popcorn to their local economies, and only one of them is in
19. Popped popcorn
comes in two basic shapes: snowflake and mushroom. Movie theaters prefer
snowflake because it is bigger. Confections such as caramel corn use mushroom
because it will not crumble.
20.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the world's largest popcorn
ball measured 12 feet in diameter and required 2,000 pounds of corn, 40,000
pounds of sugar, 280 gallons of corn syrup, and 400 gallons of water to create.
