by Kathy Wolfe This week, Tidbits continues with its lexiphanicism — showing off with big words! It’s time to learn more about these whatchamacallits and thingamajigs. • Those who love cats are ailurophilists, while those who love dogs are cynophilists. People who love all animals are referred to as philotherialists. • Misogamists and misopedists often go hand in hand. They hate marriage and children, respectively. Gamophobists don’t hate marriage; they’re just afraid of it. • Stop, thief! Look at the wide variety of terms used to describe these crooks — brigand, snaffler, kirkbuzzer, efter, ladrone or footpad. The snaffler is mainly a horse thief, while the kirkbuzzer robs only churches. The efter steals from theater customers while the performance is on, and ladrones and footpads are muggers who thieve while on foot. A specialized pickpocket who targets only churchgoers is referred to as an autem diver. turn the page for more!

Of Linn County

• The Latin suffix “-aster” refers to anything with a lesser status, for example, a musicaster is a mediocre musician, while a militaster is a soldier without skills or abilities. The theologaster is a shallow theologian who has no deep spiritual thinking. • Pregnant women often have to endure allotriophagy, that craving for strange foods. Hopefully, they will choose items that are salutiferous, meaning conducive to health or well-being. • If you shilly-shally, dodder, quail, haw, demur or shrink before making a decision, you merely hesitate. Let’s say you’re diffident, gelid, reticent, chary or delitescent — you’re considered rather reserved. Now if someone calls you a miscreant, wastral, garmin, reprobate or varlet, consider yourself insulted. You’ve been labeled a scoundrel! • What do the words coquelicot, tilleul, smaragdine and smalt have in common? They are all names for different colors! Coquelicot is a brilliant poppy red; tilleul is a yellowish-green color; smaragdine is emerald green; and smalt is a deep blue. Speaking of colors, there is an actual name for those who fear the color purple — porphyrophobia. • Good words come in small packages! To aby means to make amends or atone for an offense. A wen is an enormously congested city. To soften something by soaking is to ret it. That broad sash we see wrapped around a kimono is an obi. And kir is a drink composed of black currant syrup and white wine. • Don’t confuse philalethists with philatelists. The former are lovers of truth, while the latter love collecting postage stamps.

Plaza West Shopping Center 393 Edgewood Road NW. 319-396-3045 Tommy’s Restaurant Proudly Presents Hocus-Focus

• How about that really boring person you meet at a party who has absolutely no conversational skills? This dull dude is a macrologist, and he frequently engages in battology — wearisome redundancy and trifling talk. He’s enough to give you a bad case of drapetomania, that uncontrollable urge to run away! • Some folks are famous for mentimutation — the act of changing their minds. Some might actually have hypobulia, which is an inability to come to a decision. • Do you have big feet? You’re sciapodous! How about great big ears? You’re macrotous! Maybe buck teeth, too? You’re a gubbertush! Is there a noticeable gap between those buck teeth? That’s called a diastema. Let’s add a buccula to the mix; that’s a double chin. • Everyone knows a breedbate, an individual who seems to enjoy starting arguments and stirring up controversy. Breedbates are occasionally suggilated — beaten black and blue! And how about that lazy loafer you know? He’s a drotchel, scobberlotcher, ragabash, lobcock, lollard or sluggard. • Over the baize and into the side pocket! Baize is the green felt-like cloth covering your pool table. • At one time or another, everyone has had the misfortune of sitting behind a milver, a person who chatters non-stop through a movie. Related terms include pleniloquent (one who is full of talk) and blatteroon (a constant talker). Many of them have a cacoethes loquendi, that unquenchable desire to talk. No matter how you say it, you just wish they’d shut up! (Several of them are probably somniloquent as well, meaning they even talk in their sleep!) • The longest word in the English language is pneumonoultramicrosocpicsilicovolcan ocon-iosis, a disease resulting from overexposure to ultra-microscopic silicone dust. Inhaling the dust found near volcanoes is a major cause of this disease. If this word frightens you, you may have hippopotomonstro-squippedaliophobia, the fear of long words.

UNUSUAL WORDS (continued):

• When the time comes to absquatulate, it means it’s time to pull up stakes, to decamp and flee. • There are numerous kinds of beggars — A toothless beggar is a mumblecrust. One who pretends that his tongue has been cut out is a dommerer, while a female beggar who borrows or hires several children temporarily to arouse sympathy is an autem mort. There’s a whole new generation of beggars. The beggar whose parents are beggars is a palliard. If he bangs on a dish or cup to attract your attention, he’s a clapperdudgeon. No matter how you say it — mendicant, cadger, bezonian, panhandler, sponge, supplicant or gaberlunzie — He’s still a beggar. But, only a beggar monk can be a gyrovague. • What are you afraid of? If you are an epistaxiophobic, you are afraid of getting a nosebleed. Astrapophobics hide under the bed during thunder and lightning storms, while nosocomephobics have a fear of hospitals. Those suffering from pnigophobia are afraid of choking on fish bones, and koimetrophobics avoid cemeteries. Most people wouldn’t see anything unusual in being a little selacophobic or afraid of sharks. • When thinking of someone you know who is a workaholic, remember the technical term for someone who loves work is an ergophile. • Pity the poor fellow who’s married to an objurgatrix! His wife is a nagging, carping, fault-finding battle-ax of a woman. Other terms of endearment for this special lady include termagant, shrew, beldam, virago, harridan and xanthippe. • Something that causes cancer is said to be carcinogenic. Cariogenic items are much less serious — They cause dental cavities.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was celebrated physicist Albert Einstein who made the following sage observation: Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

● It was in 1917 when one Dr. Walter G. Walford wrote an article warning readers of the perils of tight collars and ties, claiming that such constricting neckwear caused illness by retarding the flow of blood to the brain.

● It’s fairly well known that seahorses are monogamous, staying with the same mate until death. Many people don’t realize, however, that these fish are so devoted that every day they reaffirm their union with a morning greeting dance.

Spend some time with us. Enjoy good friends, great food, jacuzzi, swimming pool, card games, music, fun exercises and activities –

● When Ronald Reagan’s daughter, Patti, got married, there were more security personnel than guests in attendance.

● The fastest known star is traveling through space at a rate of 3.5 million miles per hour. ● The figure on the Heisman trophy was sculpted from a real person. Warren Mulrey played football for Fordham University when John Heisman chose him to be the model for the new award. ● If you’re like the average American, you use 2 gallons of water every time you brush your teeth. So turn off that faucet while you brush! ● It’s not easy to contemplate, but before there was toilet paper, American colonists used corncobs. *** Thought for the Day: Nothing pains some people more than having to think. -- Martin Luther King Jr. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Chances are those of us who still struggle with hypertension inherited the condition. Or perhaps we don’t have it yet but seem destined to by family medical history. Having just one parent with high blood pressure dramatically increases the odds of being hypertensive. Genes are tough to beat. But there might be an answer. A study in the May issue of the journal Hypertension showed that merely walking 150 minutes per week (30 minutes a day for five days) can lower the risk in people who are genetically likely to get high blood pressure. Researchers tracked more than 6,000 people in different categories: those who had one parent with high blood pressure, those who were not physically fit and those who were very fit. The result: Those with high levels of physical fitness had a 42 percent lower risk, and the moderately fit had a 26 percent lower risk. To further show how exercise impacted the results, those who were very fit, even having a family predisposition, had an increased risk of only 16 percent. On the other end of the extreme, those who had a family history and a lower level of physical fitness had a whopping 70 percent higher risk. That’s a double whammy. The results are clear: Even if a parent has high blood pressure, you can lower the chance that you’ll have high blood pressure by exercising. The better your level of fitness, the more you can decrease your odds. The benefits are potentially huge.

Known as a switchback railway, it traveled approximately 6 mph and cost a nickel to ride. ● On June 12, 1942, Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl living in Amsterdam, receives a diary for her 13th birthday. A month later, she and her family went into hiding from the Nazis in rooms behind her father’s office. Anne’s diary, detailing their two years in hiding, was published in 1947. ● On June 14, 1951, the U.S. Census Bureau dedicates UNIVAC, the world’s first commercially produced electronic digital computer.

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:

BIG BEN

Big Ben is a well-known symbol of London, towering above the Parliament buildings. Here is a collection of facts you may not know about this famous landmark. • When you think of Big Ben, the tall tower surely comes to mind, but the moniker actually applies to the bell housed within the clock tower, officially known as the Great Bell. It is most likely named after London’s first Commissioner for works, Sir Benjamin Hall, and his name is inscribed on the bell. It was originally intended that it would be called the Royal Victoria bell. • The tower itself is named, not so creatively, the Clock Tower and is the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world. It’s the third tower to be built on Parliament’s grounds. The first was begun in 1288 during the reign of King Edward I and also contained a clock and a bell named Great Edward, which was rung on the hour. This was replaced in 1367 with England’s first public chiming clock. It stood for 340 years. • When a devastating fire destroyed much of the palace of Westminster in 1834, the plans to rebuild did not include a new tower. These plans were altered to include it in 1836, but actual construction of the current Clock Tower did not begin until 1843. Construction continued for nearly 16 years. When the clock was finally installed, it was discovered that it wouldn’t work because the cast iron minute hands were too heavy! They were replaced with lighter copper hands, and the four-sided clock began keeping time in May of 1859. The Great Bell known as Big Ben wasn’t rung for the first time until that July. • Just as the Clock Tower isn’t the first, neither is Big Ben the first bell. The first one developed a four-inch crack while it was being tested in 1857, and a new one was cast. Sixteen white horses pulled a carriage carrying the bell to the New Palace Yard. It took 18 hours to raise the bell into the belfry. Late in 1859, two fractures were found in Big Ben. The hammer was replaced with a lighter version, and the bell was rotated so that an undamaged section would be struck. This second bell still resides in the Tower. • The tower is 316 feet (96.3 m) tall, about 16 stories. Each of the clock’s four dials is 23 feet square (49.15 sq. m). The minute hands are 14 feet (4.26 m) long, while the numerals are two feet (0.6 m) tall. The base of each dial contains a Latin inscription, which translates “O Lord, keep safe our Queen Victoria the First.” • During World War I, the bell was not rung, and the clock was unlit at night to protect it from German Zeppelin attacks. During World War II, the bells were rung, but also from a darkened tower. • Although it’s one of the world’s most famous tourist attractions, only United Kingdom residents are allowed inside to tour Big Ben. Tours must be booked well in advance only through a Parliament member, with parties limited to 16 people, who must climb the 334 stairs to the top of its 11 floors, since there is no elevator.

December 22– January 19

Laughter lights up your world this week, Capricorn. Everyone it seems is in good spirits and has something funny to share. A memo is not reason for pause.

January 20– February 18 Peace fills your home, and you must work quickly to find a way to ensure it stays that way, Aquarius. A health concern eases with an alternative treatment.

February 19– March 20 Boredom sets in at home, and it’s up to you to liven things up, Pisces. Hot days call for cool fun. A letter seals the deal, and you must get cracking.

June 22– July 22 Oh, how you long for the good times, and oh, how you’re about to get them, Cancer. Everything you touch will be golden this week!

July 23– August 22 Caution, Leo. Now is not the time to drop the ball. Be diligent, and you’ll come out on top. A promotion of some sort could be in order.

August 23– September 22 All eyes are on you, Virgo, and you rise to the occasion. An adventure on the water brings the gang together for some fun under the sun.

March 21– April 19 Passion sizzles with a one-of-a-kind gift, Aries. Tasks get checked off the to-do list quickly with delegation. An auto dilemma is solved with resourcefulness.

September 23– October 22 Of all the offers you receive, none will be as good as the one that comes your way this week, Libra. Don’t say no. A habit turns out to be harder to break than thought.

April 20– May 20 Too bad, Taurus. You give it a try, but alas, it doesn’t work. Try not to get too worked up about it. A bigger, better opportunity is in store.

October 23– November 21 Round and round you go, Scorpio. Where you fall no one knows—except for that little chap that’s been following you. Act fast to get back on track.

May 21– June 21 Prepare for your brain to be picked, Gemini, when old friends drop by. They’re looking for something, which you may or may not be able to provide.

November 22– December 21 Hold back, Sagittarius. Enthusiasm can be contagious, but it can also be a turnoff. Restraint is key. Motivate but don’t push. An organization beckons.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR JIM COYLE It’s OK To Be Different

Have you wondered why it is so easy to talk to some people and so difficult to talk to others? Have you ever caught yourself wanting to disappear from a room when someone pushes your exit button? It is so important for us realize that people have different communication styles that might rub us the wrong way. Once I accept that not everyone is like me, my world gets a little bigger. Here are some different communication styles • LEAVE ME ALONE style; usually quiet, alone and introverted • TAKE CHARGE style: frank, assertive, and controlling • YOU MAKE THE CHOICE style: nonattention seeking, patient, and passive • IT’S ALL ABOUT ME style: likes the lime light, spontaneous, and persuasive

JUNK FOOD

Junk food might be defined as “food that contributes lots of calories but has little nutritional value.” Let’s learn a little more about a few not-so-healthy choices. • What’s for breakfast? If you choose a bowl of Trix cereal, that product will be 38 percent sugar and will add a little red, yellow and blue dye to your system. How about some Froot Loops? Your portion will be 41 percent sugar, unless you opt for the marshmallow version, which computes to 48 percent sugar and more of those dyes. If you’re cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, you’ll have a 44 percent ratio of sugar. A healthier choice would be Wheat Chex or Shredded Wheat, both at less than 3 percent sugar. • In 1930, baker James Dewar was dismayed that the strawberry season was so short; it was limiting his sales of shortcakes. In order to prolong his sales past the fresh Monday $5 baskets 11-8 fruit● season, he burger experimented with filling Tuesday $6.99with tacoscream. 11-8 He called his ●sponge cakes well Toes Margaritas 11-8 them $4.00 “Twinkle Shoes,” but the name Thursday, $5 Dozen Wings 4-9 Hostess pm was●later shortened to “Twinkies.” All 500 Day Happy Hour! bakes● Sunday up about million Twinkies a year, each with about calories.TVS That ● All Games In High150 Definition creamy center is no longer cream at all, but rather mostly Crisco shortening. • When Pringles debuted in October 1968 in their signature cylindrical can, they were known as Pringles Newfangled Potato Chips. Other manufacturers immediately objected, claiming that the product was not a potato chip at all, considering that only 42 percent of the snack is potato-based product, with the remainder composed of wheat starch and corn and rice flours. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration ordered the company to change the name to “potato crisps.” The snack was named for a street in Cincinnati, Pringle Drive, spotted by a Procter & Gamble employee. • The American Dietetic Association recommends a maximum daily caloric intake of 2,000 calories for a sedentary adult and a maximum of 60 grams of fat. Order up a Big Mac with a super-sized Coke and fries, and you’ll ingest 1,460 calories and 58 grams of fat. That’s a pretty scary figure when you consider that the average person visits McDonalds 1,811 times in his or her lifetime. Want to burn off that McDonalds lunch? It will take you seven straight hours of walking to burn off the above meal. • Although popcorn seems to fill up the box of Cracker Jacks, it’s not the principal ingredient — sugar and corn syrup are. This tasty snack was introduced at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, but the box didn’t contain a toy prize until 1912. • In addition to being high in calories, soda pop can lead to significant tooth enamel loss. The acids in soft drinks are nearly as corrosive to enamel as battery acid. In an experiment conducted by dentists, one group of children were given a can of pop every day for three years, and another group, water. The pop drinkers had 50 to 150 percent more tooth decay! • Snickers, the most popular candy bar in the world, is a 280-calorie treat with 14 grams of fat. It takes 100 tons of peanuts to produce the 15 million bars manufactured daily. Frank Mars, founder of the Mars candy company, named the confection after the Mars family’s favorite horse. • Visit your local 31-flavor ice cream parlor and ask for a double-scoop. With 31 varieties, there are 496 different combinations you could receive.

Q: I have a window-mounted air conditioner that I use in the summer months. During the winter, it's stored away. This year, it doesn't seem to be cooling as well as it did in the past. Do I need to charge it with freon or something? -- Bailey T., Wheeling, W.Va. A: I'm not sure how old your windowunit air conditioner is, but refrigerant (R-22 freon) doesn't typically need to be replaced in the first couple of years of the unit's life. Additionally, purchasing and handling of freon is now regulated, so you would need to contact a refrigeration professional to check and charge the unit. Before laying out money for that repair, there are other ways to improve your air conditioner's cooling capability: --Make sure the unit is mounted properly in the window and isn't tilting downward or upward. --Check to see if siding, bricks, leaves or other debris are blocking the louvers on the outside of the unit. --Keep curtains and furniture away from the unit while it's operating, to ensure good airflow into the room. --Make sure the air-conditioning unit is clean, including the coils and the intake filter on the front of the unit. --Start the air conditioner at a medium or low fan setting and a moderate temperature, even on hot days. After 20 minutes, lower the temperature to the setting you want. --Note the time of day that the room feels hottest, and note the position of the sun. Closing the curtains on windows that don't have an air-conditioning unit can reduce the amount of sun-generated heat in the room. --If you have a ceiling fan, even in another room of the house, use it to your advantage. Reverse the direction of the fan blades (the switch is located on the metal housing for the fan blades) so that air is pulled up by the fan rather than pushed down. Cool air normally sinks, so the fan will stir that air and make the whole house more comfortable.

• Colombian: This term means different things to different people, depending on how you get your “jones.” Narcotics dealers may refer to their products as Colombian, although the www.IowaSheds.com actual source is often unknown. Luckily, the majority of us prefer a bit of legal Colombian, as in the coffee grown in the South American nation. The prevalence of coffee shops throughout America is proof enough that many of us just can’t get along in the morning without a hot cup of Colombian. • Chinese: The generic term “chinese” now represents types of food that are very different from the meals that are (or ever were) served in China. That said, the same argument could be made about what we consider “American” food. Hamburgers? Ice cream? Hot dogs? Pizza? Our national favorites seem to have originated everywhere except in the United States!

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

● Use a bandana to strain coffee if you’ve accidentally had a filter bust. It works. I first used this tip when camping, but I have used it at home, too. The coffee goes through it faster than a paper filter, which is fine when it’s already brewed, since you lose less heat. -- T.R. in Arkansas ● Recycling notes: Cardboard that’s greasy or food-caked is just not recyclable. It’s trash. On the plus side, your glass jars don’t have to be perfectly clean, nor your cans crushed, in order to take them to the recycling center or drop curbside if your community has a plan in place. ● “To freshen stuffed animals, dampen a cloth with a solution of 1 cup vinegar and 3 cups water. Wipe outside fur thoroughly, being careful not to soak it. Secure in a delicates bag or tie inside a pillowcase, then put in the dryer at low heat until completely dry. Adding a fabric softener sheet for the final five minutes is nice, too.” -- D.W. in Oklahoma ● Here’s a wonderful tip from Fibrenew, a leather, vinyl and plastics refurbishing specialist, on what to do if you get ink on your leather car seats: “DON’T use dish soap or hair spray to remove the marks. The degreasing agents in dish soap can permanently de-gloss and damage the top coating on the leather surface. Hair spray, another commonly recommended remedy, has alcohol in it and will ruin the surface coating on your leather.” Use a special leather-cleaning kit instead, or contact a local professional to fix it for you. ● “Remove tea stains from your teapot with a few drops of bleach added to a pot of hot water. Let sit for five or so minutes, then swish with a brush. Most tea stains will come right out. Be sure to rinse well.” -- A.A. in Florida
