The Neatest Little Paper Ever Read

Hawkeye Publishing, L.L.C.

A team of seven people went to California in order to set the world record for the most roller coasters ridden in 24 hours. The group rode on 40 different roller coasters at eight different amusement parks in California, starting at 5:00 p.m. on October 14, 2000 and ending at 5:00 p.m. the next day. Come along with Tidbits as we ride the world’s tallest coaster! • From the days of the first roller coaster ride to today, a competition to build the tallest, longest, scariest roller coaster on earth has pushed the industry forward into new realms. In 2004, this competition spurred Six Flags Great Adventure theme park in New Jersey to announce that they were building the highest and fastest roller coaster on earth. They named it Kingda Ka, after the 535-pound Bengal tiger who resides at the park, although some people joke that “Kingda Ka” is actually Swahili for “OhMyGawd what a ride!” • In 2005, Kingda Ka opened for business, claiming the title of both the fastest and the tallest roller coaster on the planet. The coaster cars rocket to the top of a 456-foot tower, accelerating from 0 to 128 mph within 3.5 seconds, before a stomach-clenching corkscrew drop back down to earth. A second 13-story hill gives riders a few moments of weightlessness before the ride is over, less than 60 seconds after it began.

• The secret to Kingda Ka’s thrill is all in the launch sequence. Whereas standard older roller coasters employ a cable system which slowly and laboriously winches a car to the top of a hill, the Kingda Ka uses space-age hydraulic engineering to launch a car in exactly the same sort of way an aircraft is launched from an aircraft carrier, with similar thrust and G-forces involved. The system is basically a high tech catapult, with a giant hydraulic launch system delivering 12,500 horsepower in a single colossal blast – twelve times the horse power of a Formula One race car. Eight military grade 500-horsepower hydraulic motors – which took a year to construct – charge up the accumulators, forcing hydraulic fluid into the chambers under great pressure. When a trigger is pulled, the pressure is released and the car is launched at rocket speed. It’s similar in many ways to blowing up a balloon and then letting it go. Kingda Ka is one of only two roller coasters in the world that uses this technology. The experience has been compared to being in a jet fighter, or being a drag racer. QUICK BITS • It takes only ten seconds to go from launch to being 456 feet in the air on top of the tower. • The highest point of the ride is 45 stories tall, which is about 4/5ths the height of the Washington Monument. It’s tall enough that the entire Statue of Liberty would fit under the main arch with 100 feet to spare. • On foggy days, you can’t see the top of the tower from the bottom. • The ride cost $25 million to construct. • The entire track is just over 1,000 yards long. • Fittingly enough, the very first passengers were the engineers who built it.

KINGDA KA (continued):

• The braking system, done with magnetic fields generated by 473 magnets, means there’s no friction to wear parts out. It’s silent, efficient, and fail-safe. • The roller coaster has four cars, and each car seats 18 passengers. About 1,400 people per hour take the ride. BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE So where should you sit to get the best ride? Depends on what you’re looking for. Sitting in the very back of a coaster train yields the wildest ride since the last car is being pulled by the weight of the front cars, making for some nice whipping action, especially if they are long trains on steep hills. However, sitting in the front has benefits too. The very first car will hang over the first drop waiting for the rest of the cars to crest the hill before the big plunge. Front cars also have better low-G moments when the train is going over the top of low hill, leading to better stomach-lifting airtime. The ride is usually smoothest in the middle of the train, a good spot for beginners. SAFETY CONCERNS • Two weeks after the grand opening, a bolt unexpectedly sheered off, damaging the brake system. Custom-made bolts were ordered and installed to fix the problem and prevent it from happening again. • In 2009, the roller coaster was struck by lighting in the middle of the night when the park was closed. It suffered serious damage and was closed for repairs. • Because it is so close to the Jersey Shore, the coaster is capable of withstanding hurricane force winds. Nevertheless, damage occurred during Hurricane Irene in 2011, and the ride was closed for repairs once again.

TOOLS 4 LIFE BY DR. JIM COYLE The Windshield is Bigger than the Rear View Mirror If we can use the windshield as an example of the journey of life, it is much bigger than the rear view mirror. The rear view mirror reflects on where I have been while the windshield shows where I am going. Too often I focus on what is behind me rather than what is ahead of me. If my eyes are focused on the rear view mirror I am in danger of getting into another crash. The past crashes are what have gotten me to the present journey allowing me to see through the much bigger windshield. One of the keys to victory in life is to use what is behind me to focus on what is ahead me. I can’t move forward if my eyes are focused on the past. I must look straight ahead using the things behind me as experiences to fuel where I am going. www.pastoralcarecentercr.com Q. How do you make a skeleton laugh? A. Tickle the funny bone...

No one has ever been killed while riding the Kingda Ka. The odds of being injured on an amusement park ride are 1 in 23 million. According to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission, in 1999 over 600,000 people were injured on bikes, just under 100,000 on trampolines, nearly 50,000 while using golf equipment, while 7,260 were injured on amusement park rides, and only 138 of those people needed to be hospitalized. Most injuries are due to people failing to follow rules rather than equipment failure. OUCH! Kingda Ka does not operate when it’s raining, because being hit by raindrops at 128 mph is not fun. G-FORCE FACTS Normal earth gravity has a G force of 1. Astronauts in orbit float around in zero G’s. Jet pilots black out at 10 G’s. On a roller coaster, G forces decrease on the way down a hill (making you feel lighter) and increase on the way up (making you feel heavier). At 3 G’s a 100-lb person feels like they weigh 300 lbs. On the way down a hill riders may feel 0 G’s, although most coasters only go down to about .2 G’s, making a 100-lb. person weigh 20 lbs. A typical roller coaster offers a maximum of 3.5 G’s. More than that makes the ride too much. That’s about the same G forces as astronauts feel during a space shuttle launch. Three coasters outside the U.S. generate over 6.5 G’s. ONE-UPPED Kingda Ka was the world’s fastest roller coaster until Formula Rossa opened in Abu Dhabi in November 2010, which reaches a speed of 150 mph, reaching that speed in 4.9 seconds following launch. The hydraulic launch system is identical to the one used on the Kingda Ka. However, Kingda Ka still retains the title of the world’s tallest roller coaster.

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● If you grew up during a certain era in the United States, you are probably familiar with the board game Parcheesi. If you have a particularly good memory, you may recall that the game’s subtitle is “The Royal Game of India.” You may not realize, though, that the game is so-called because royalty in India used to play a life-size version of the game in gardens specially designed for the pursuit. Centuries ago, rajas would dress members of their harems in brightly colored costumes and use them as game pieces. ● Everyone knows that a sophomore is someone in his or her second year of high school or college. Most people don’t realize, though, that the word is derived from the Greek words “sophos,” which means “wise,” and “moros,” which means “stupid.”

● It’s not unusual for music critics and the artists they critique to butt heads, but they usually do it in print, not in person. In 1978, though, the staff of Rolling Stone magazine and the band the Eagles went head-to-head in a softball match. The writers ended up losing to the rock stars. ● Having trouble with your teenager? It’s a worldwide problem, it seems -- though not always for the same reasons. In 2004, a 13-year-old boy in India ran away from home, declared that he was a Hindu holy man and founded a monastery. His parents arranged for him to be kidnapped and brought back home. ● The creator of the ubiquitous smiley face earned a grand total of $45 for his creative effort.

It can be tempting to look for cheaper sources of prescriptions drugs, but going online to hunt for your drugs is not the answer. The risks of dealing with online pharmacies are serious. If you get a fake drug, it will contain the wrong ingredients, and they’ll likely be harmful to you. You might get a bad reaction that sends you to the hospital. If nothing else, your condition could worsen, since you won’t be getting the medicine you need. Drugs from a fake pharmacy might not have any label at all, and no instructions on how to take them. You’ll have no contact with a local pharmacist who can track your prescriptions for adverse interactions. In short, you’ll receive the medicine (real, or not) and nothing more. The signs of a fake online pharmacy are: No prescription required. Prices are cheap. It ships anywhere in the world. You get spam email. It’s not in the United States. It’s not licensed. Remember: Anyone can put up a website that looks genuine. To learn how to avoid a rogue online pharmacy, the Food and Drug Administration has just launched a new website, BeSafeRx (www.FDA.gov/ BeSafeRx). Go online and watch the short videos. Call the FDA at 1-888-4636332 for more information. The Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites (VIPPS) is one way to check whether an online pharmacy is legitimate [www.nabp.net]. You can check out the pharmacist by going to the BeSafeRx website. Click on Know Your Online Pharmacy. Click on the map of the state and search for the company and the pharmacist to make sure both are licensed. Update: The FDA has just ordered the operators of 4,100 websites to stop selling unapproved medications. But there are more still out there.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

● On Oct. 30, 1893, the World’s Columbian Exposition closes in Chicago. Fairgoers were offered a chance to see the first gas-powered motorcar, an alternating-current power plant, a 46-foot-long cannon, a 1,500-pound Venus de Milo made of chocolate, and Juicy Fruit gum. ● On Nov. 4, 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter and his workmen discover a stone sarcophagus containing three coffins nested within each other. Inside the final coffin, which was made of solid gold, was the mummy of the boy-king Tutankhamen, preserved for more than 3,000 years. ● On Nov. 3, 1930, the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel between the United States and Canada is officially opened to auto traffic. Each end of the tunnel had a 100-foot-tall ventilation tower; each tower held 12 huge fans, six for pumping fresh air into the tunnel and six for exhaust. The tunnel’s ventilation system still works just as well today as it did 80 years ago. ● On Oct. 29, 1948, a killer smog continues to hover over Donora, Pa. The town’s steel mills and a zinc smelting plant had released excessive amounts of sulfuric acid, carbon monoxide and other pollutants into the atmosphere. Over a five-day period, the smog killed some 20 people and made thousands more seriously ill. ● On Oct. 31, 1950, 21-year-old Earl Lloyd becomes the first black man to play in an NBA game when he takes the court in the season opener for the Washington Capitols. The Capitols had picked him in the ninth round of the draft. After seven games with the Capitols, Lloyd was drafted into the military and sent to Korea for two years. ● On Nov. 1, 1967, “Cool Hand Luke,” starring Paul Newman as a tough, antiauthoritarian, poker-playing prisoner, debuts in theaters. The film contained the now-famous line: “What we have here is a failure to communicate.” ● On Nov. 2, 1986, Norwegian distance runner Grete Waitz wins her eighth New York City marathon. She finished the 26mile, 385-yard course in 2:28.6, more than a mile ahead of the second- and third-place women in the race. (c) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Overcoming the Odds: PHINEAS T. BARNUM

• Phineas Taylor Barnum is remembered today for the circus that still carries his name: Barnum & Bailey. Barnum got rich because, as he stated, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” • Barnum got his start in show biz after meeting a man who owned an old black slave named Joice Heth. Joice claimed to have been George Washington’s nanny. She said she was 167 years old and had the papers to prove it. She really looked the part: blind, half paralyzed, wrinkled and toothless. Yet her mind was sharp and clear. Joice’s owner had been exhibiting her and had turned a tidy profit. Yet he was tired of the road, so he sold the act to Barnum for $1,000. Barnum and Joice went on tour, and Barnum learned the principles that guided his career from then on: that advertising and publicity are all-important, and that controversy brings the skeptics flocking in. When attendance fell off, Barnum wrote an anonymous letter to the editor claiming that Joice Heth was not a human at all, but merely a clever robot. The debate brought crowds to Barnum’s door. When Joice finally died, an autopsy concluded she was probably not more than 80 years old. • Barnum’s success started not with the circus but with the Barnum Museum in New York City. He bought an old, dusty run-down museum and set out to transform it into a flashy attention-getting show that would keep people coming back for more. One of his tactics was to give away plenty of free picture postcards to tourists, who would show them to all their friends back home. Those friends, when they visited New York, would then be sure to stop in at the Museum. • Barnum discovered that the world loves to ogle human freaks. He made a tradition out of exhibiting the bearded lady, the fat boy, giants, midgets, Siamese twins, albinos, and the Wild Men of Borneo (who were really Hiram and Barney Davis from Long Island). • It was an elephant that led to his teaming up with Bailey. Bailey owned a circus, and one of the elephants became the mother of the first baby elephant ever born in captivity. Barnum couldn’t stand to see someone else get more publicity than himself, so he offered to buy the two elephants. Bailey used Barnum’s offer to get more publicity for himself. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, thought Barnum, and the two teamed up to form the Barnum & Bailey Circus. When their first combined show was scheduled to open in Madison Square Gardens, Barnum paid all expenses for 100 top newspaper reporters from all over the country to come and review the circus. The free publicity he got all over the country ensured success. • By the mid 1880s, the Barnum and Bailey Circus was earning a million dollars a year. Barnum invented the concept of the three ring circus, and coined the phrase, “The Greatest Show On Earth.” Shopkeepers in towns they visited complained about the circus because for weeks after they were gone, the townfolk were too broke to buy anything in their stores. • P. T. Barnum died in 1891 at the age of 82. Several years later, the Ringling Brothers bought the Barnum & Bailey circus. The combined circus became the largest travelling show on the planet, truly the “Greatest Show on Earth.”

APE INTELLIGENCE

• Primates are profoundly intelligent, and one of the ways they display this is in the many creative ways they find to escape from their enclosures. Consider the following stories: • In a Texas zoo, an orangutan foiled the electric fence and managed to escape by grabbing clumps of grass in order to create an insulating mitten, then climbing over the electrified wires without being shocked. • When a worker at the Washington National Zoo mistakenly left several large barrels in the enclosure housing several orangutans, one of the ingenious animals, named Bonnie, simply stacked the barrels up and climbed over the fence, followed by her companions, and then liberated a picnic basket from a shocked tourist. When zookeepers found her, she was calmly munching on some fried chicken and drinking orange juice. • Jonathan, an orangutan at the Los Angeles Zoo, was an escape artist. Keepers designed a new outdoor area for him, then invited media and dignitaries to watch while Jonathan was released into the area to explore it. Jonathan, on entering the new play area, took one look around, uprooted a nice tree that had been planted for his pleasure, leaned it against the wall, and climbed over the wall as keepers, dignitaries, and visitors watched. Later, while being held in an escape-proof exhibit, he entertained himself by taking burlap bags he’d been given to play with and whipping them through the bars of his cage, snagging steam pipes along the wall and pulling them loose. When keepers removed the bags and gave him a cardboard box instead, he ripped the box up, made spikes out of the cardboard, and used them to break the ceiling lights. • Fu Manchu was an orangutan in the Omaha Zoo. One day in 1968, a zoo worker ran to the head curator to report that Fu Manchu and all the other orangutans had escaped from their outdoor enclosure and were hanging out in the trees nearby. After coaxing the animals back into their cage, the curator investigated, and found an access door had evidently been left unlocked. He chewed out the staff and locked the door. Several days later, the orangutans escaped again, and again the curator found the access door unlocked. “I was getting ready to fire someone,” he reported. Several days later, a breathless keeper came running up to the curator insisting he had to come quick and witness what Fu Manchu was doing. The curator watched as Fu Manchu produced a piece of stiff wire, slid it between the access door and the casing, slipped the latch, and popped the door open. He escaped, followed by the rest of the orangutan clan. Now that they knew how the escapes were happening, the question was where the wire was coming from. Investigation revealed something shiny in Fu Manchu’s mouth. The wire, bent into the shape of his jaw, was hidden between his lip and gum. After this story got considerable publicity in the papers, the American Association of Locksmiths made Fu Manchu an honorary member. IT’S A FACT

Dryer Fires Tied to Lint Buildup Q: My roommate says that we need to clean the lint filter on the dryer after every cycle, while I think it should be cleaned only when it’s full. Can you settle the argument? -- Flo in Harrisburg, Pa. A: This one is pretty easy to settle. Clean the lint filter after every cycle. Why? Because a buildup of lint in the dryer -- even just in the lint filter -- can become a fire hazard. Dryer lint is alarmingly combustible and causes some 15,000 laundry-room fires each year. Even though the lint filter screen traps a good deal of lint from clothing, some lint particles still pass through the screen and out of the dryer vent. Over time, these particles accumulate in corners and bends along the path that the dryer’s exhaust takes. So it’s not unusual to find lint buildup in places like the junction of the exhaust outlet and the hose attachment, or in the bends and folds of a longer piece of flexible vent hose. So in addition to cleaning out the filter after every load, you should clean behind the dryer and clean the vent connections all the way out to the outside vent at least twice a year. To do this, unplug the dryer and, with a helper, carefully slide it out away from the wall, enough so that you can reach behind it. You may need to shift the washing machine as well, if the units are located in a tight space (and it seems like they always are). Purchase a lint brush at your homeimprovement store. This can be used to clear built-up lint from the area beneath the lint filter, something you can do more frequently if this seems to be a problem. Clean the vents and hose by detaching the vent hose from the back of the dryer. Use the lint brush and if possible a shop vacuum to clear lint from the vent and the hose. Carefully brush or vacuum out the vent hose. Then, clean the exterior vent -from the outside in, if need be. Make sure to reconnect the hose securely to the vents on either side. A final tip: If the exhaust hose or pipe is made of white vinyl, replace this material as soon as possible with flexible metal pipe. Vinyl in particular is no longer permitted for dryer exhaust in building codes. HOME TIP: Wash your dryer’s lint filter in warm soapy water every few months to clear built-up fabric softener from the screen.

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson

● When you’re in a hurry, dry erase markers and permanent markers sometimes look the same. Ever grabbed a marker to write a note on a dry-erase white board and found that it wouldn’t wipe off? To remove permanent marker from a white board, try using a pencil eraser. Rub lightly on the marker areas only, working from the outside in. It should come off.

● Rusty bicycle handles can be unsightly and a pain. Make a paste of salt and lemon juice (3 parts salt, 1 part lemon juice), and use it to rub the rust away with a dry cloth. ● What will you do with all that candy from trick-or-treating? Make your holiday cookie plans now, and you can freeze some for later baking use. ● “If you have magazines or books you have finished reading, perhaps you’d consider donating them to local seniors centers. Look in the yellow pages to see if there are any near you. Often, the seniors are grateful to have new reading material.” -- T.C. in Florida ● Many more of us nowadays are using reusable fabric shopping bags. A few cities have banned the use of plastic bags for retail shops. These fabric bags are much better for the environment, and can hold a lot more groceries per bag. One thing many people forget to do is wash them. You can take out the plastic insert (if there is one) and toss the bags in the washing machine. Hang to dry, and you’ll be carrying around a much cleaner bag! ● To sharpen scissors, fold over several layers of aluminum foil and cut into strips.

REMOTE S TA R T !

Use your phone as your remote! “unlimited range”

What is Drone Mobile? It is more than one thing: It is an Iphone or Android app available right now for FREE that anyone can download onto their smartphone. The app allows you to control your vehicle and do things like lock & unlock doors and start your vehicle from your phone or from a computer. The main advantage is that this gives you UNLIMITED range when it comes to starting your vehicle. A lot of people have factory installed remote start but one of the main complaints we here is that it does not have very good range. Or if you’re like my wife, she works at the U of I and she parks miles away from her office and catches a shuttle to work. When she is leaving work she can start her vehicle form her smart phone or from her office computer, and by the time she gets to the car, the windows are defrosted, the seat heat is on, and the car is warmed up and she can dive away safely. Of course, in order to be able to do these things, we have to install some hardware into your vehicle.

570 Penn Ct. North Liberty

Is their a subscription cost? Yes their is. BUT it is very economical compared to other services. For instance, GM offers a similar service through OnStar that works very well. The app is called RemoteLink. The cost for this service is at least $240.00 per year. DroneMobile costs $49.99 per year but the first year of service is FREE. What if I install this in my vehicle but then I sell or trade in my vehicle? You have several options. You could offer to leave the hardware installed in your vehicle for the new owner as long as you were compensated for the cost of the hardware. With winters being what they are in Iowa, it is likely that if you had 2 vehicles for sale that were very similar and one had DroneMobile and one did not, the vehicle equipped with DroneMobile would likely sell first. So DroneMobile would actually increase your RESALE value. Another option would be to remove DroneMobile from your vehicle and re-install it in your new vehicle. This would save you the cost of the new hardware. The DroneMobile hardware is UNIVERSAL so you could say it is a ONE TIME investment. What if I want to track my vehicle if it is stolen or set up a GeoFence? (My child is allowed to drive my vehicle but I instruct them to not leave a certain area: “Don’t leave Iowa City”. I set up the GeoFence to notify me IF they leave Iowa City). DroneMobile has this Built In as an option. The subscription fee for this type of service is very reasonable, only $119.99 per year (again the first year is FREE). Will installing DroneMobile affect my factory warranty? No, not if it is installed by a qualified/insured installer. Many people don’t realize that they can install items like this into their vehicle and still maintain their factory warranty. I drive a Mercedes/Audi/VW and I heard you can’t install remote start in these vehicles. Is this true? It used to be but not anymore. Call us and we will look up your particular vehicle and let you know. I drive a Manual transmission vehicle. You can’t install remote start in one of those, right? Wrong! We have been installing remote start in manual transmission vehicles SAFELY for years. Again call us for a quote.
