Two dogs are walking down the street when one of them looks down and finds a mirror. He looks into it, and says, “WOW! I know this dog. I’ve seen this dog somewhere before…” The other dog takes the mirror, looks into it, and says, “Duh, of course you have. That’s me!”

by Janet Spencer For centuries, mankind’s only mirrors were pools of water or polished metal. It was a long journey to figure out how to make a good mirror. Come along with Tidbits as we go through the looking glass!

MAKING MIRRORS

• The original glass mirror was made by covering the back of a piece of glass with thin tin sheets which were rubbed down smooth. Then the glass (with the tin on top) would be covered with mercury. A piece of woolen cloth would then be laid on top of the mercury and compressed with iron weights for more than a week. Finally the excess mercury would be drained off and the mirror was complete. This method of mirror making was very dangerous to the craftsman because mercury vapors are poisonous. • Craftsmen in Venice were the first to discover this method of mirror making in the 1300s. It remained a carefully guarded secret and for centuries Venice had a monopoly on mirrors. Those who gave away the secret were subject to the death penalty. Mirrors were expensive and rare and people in France were jealous.

• In 1665, the French chief minister to Louis XIV went to Venice and - at the risk of death bribed 18 Venetian mirrorsmiths, using huge sums of money to convince them to move to France. (continued next page)

MIRROR MAKING (cont’d)

• Soon after the Venetian mirrorsmiths arrived in France, the French passed a law making it illegal to import Venetian mirrors. The new French mirror company, set up in the town of Saint Gobain, is still thriving today. • No sooner had France gotten the secret of mirror making than a Frenchman named Louis Lucas beat the Venetians at their own game when he invented a way to make plate glass in 1668. In Venice, they only knew how to make blown glass. Each mirror started out as a bottle or cylinder which was slit open and flattened while still hot before being made into a mirror. The size of mirrors was therefore very limited. But Lucas discovered how to pour molten glass from the pot onto an iron table where it was flattened with an iron roller. There was no limit to the size a mirror could be. Soon France was famous for its mirrors. • Louis XIV was very pleased, purchasing some 700 mirrors and lining an entire hallway at the Palace of Versailles with them in a stunning display. Venice kindly offered to send some of their very best glassmakers to France to “help out” at the factories; France declined the offer, preferring to keep their secret. • It had long been known that silver would make a better mirror than mercury and tin, but the problem was figuring out how to get the silver to stick to the glass. In 1835, German chemist Justus von Liebig invented a method of making mirrors that is still used today. In this method, the glass is flushed with silver salts and then covered with a solution of silver nitrate. After being heated and left undisturbed for an hour, a chemical reaction causes the metallic silver to separate and adhere to the glass. It’s then coated with shellac and painted with a black backing.

Tools 4 life By DR. Jim coyle

“ 3 D a y Ru l e ”

While having lunch with a dear friend, he inspired me with his handling of tough events called the “3 day rule”. Day One: This is the day to catch your breath after getting the wind knocked out of you. Ask for God’s guidance as you begin to sort it out. It could come from the Bible, signs, other people or a combination of things to help comfort you. Day Two: This is the day to look at how and why the situation happened. If it was something that could have been prevented what can I learn from it and how can I make things better. If it was outside my control how can I use it to make me a better person. Day Three: This is the day to move on and put what happened behind you so it doesn’t trip you for what lies ahead. Put it on the shelf and keep it there to remind you of where you came from. Thank you Ralph for your words of wisdom.

MODERN MIRROR MAKING

• Today silver or aluminum is vaporized and sprayed in aerosol form into the air above glass which is travelling on a conveyor belt below. For finer mirrors such as those used in telescopes, aluminum, chromium, or gold are put into a vacuum tank and heated. When they reach the critical temperature, they “flash” into vapor which fills the entire Open Year Round! tank with metallic gas. A film is then deposited on whatever is inside the tank. HOW DO MIRRORS WORK? • Mirrors work because they reflect light. Most objects do not give off any light of their own. They can only be seen because light from other sources - the sun, a candle, a flashlight - hits them and bounces off, hitting your eye. When light strikes an object, some of the light is absorbed by the object, some is transmitted through the object, and some of the light bounces back. The part that bounces back is called reflection. Flat shiny surfaces like water, metal, and mirrors reflect light well because very little of the light is absorbed or transmitted, and most of it is reflected. When light hits a surface that is dull instead of shiny, the light bounces off in all directions and is scattered. There is no reflection. When light hits a mirror, the mirror sends the light back in exactly the same direction that it came from. This makes it appear as if the image is coming from behind the mirror. • When light hits a shiny surface that is curved instead of flat, such as a spoon, doorknob, or ripples on a lake, the light rays hit the surface at a variety of different angles and are therefore reflected back at a variety of different angles, instead of bouncing back straight. This makes the reflection look distorted. It’s like a bouncing ball: drop the ball straight down, and it bounces straight up. Throw the ball at an angle, and it bounces up at an identical angle.

MIRROR SCIENCE (cont’d)

• If the mirror is curved in a convex shape so that the reflecting surface faces away from the center of the mirror, light rays reflect away from each other and the reflection becomes smaller. This is handy for use in exterior rearview mirrors (“Objects are closer than they appear”) as well as the large fisheye mirrors used in stores so clerks can keep an eye on customers. • If the mirror is in a concave shape so the reflecting surface faces toward the center of the mirror, light rays are reflected towards each other and the reflection becomes very large. Make-up mirrors and telescope mirrors are built this way. Funhouse mirrors, with their convoluted collection of convex and concave surfaces, twist the reflection into comical contortions.

Truck Toppers

• Another method of making mirrors involves using liquid metal such as mercury or gallium. The liquid is spun continuously, causing it to take on the parabolic shape needed for telescopes. This is a very inexpensive method of making a very large mirror. The Large Zenith Telescope located near Vancouver, BC is the largest liquid mirror in operation, with a diameter of about 20 feet.

Understanding Down Syndrome

• A one-way mirror uses dark colored glass, such as smoked glass, instead of clear glass. The reflective backing is very, very thin - so thin that if the light is equally bright on each side of the mirror, it merely looks like a pane of glass. But if people behind the mirror are sitting in a dark room looking into a light room, it looks like a mirror. • It’s the same principal with the interior rearview mirror in a car. There are two mirrors there. The daytime mirror reflects almost all of the light that hits it, but flip the little button and the nighttime mirror reflects only four percent of the light so the driver is not blinded by headlights.

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel ● On Oct. 31, 1517, the priest and scholar Martin Luther nails to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, a piece of paper containing 95 revolutionary opinions that would begin the Protestant Reformation. In one, Luther condemned the corruption of the Catholic Church for asking for payment for the forgiveness of sins. ● On Oct. 30, 1890, Oakland, Calif., enacts a law against opium, morphine and cocaine. The new regulations allowed only doctors to prescribe these drugs, which had been legal for cures or pain relief. ● On Oct. 29, 1929, Black Tuesday hits Wall Street as investors trade 16,410,030 shares. In the aftermath of Black Tuesday, America and the rest of the industrialized world spiraled downward into the Great Depression. By 1932, stocks were worth only about 20 percent of their value in the summer of 1929. ) 2012 King Features Synd., Inc.

Making Your Home

Safe for Winter

Like it or not, winter is coming. Depending on where you live, you’ve likely already felt the chill winds preceding the even colder weather ahead. Two key elements of winter safety at home are warmth and adequate lighting. Are you ready? Staying Warm: If you live in your own home, when is the last time you had your furnace inspected? If you can’t say it was this season, it’s time to call for an appointment. These system checks should be done once a year and generally include a new furnace filter. Carrying a big blanket from room to room can be a tripping danger. Instead, keep personal-size comforters in various places in your home, especially your favorite chair. Check the bottoms of your slippers to make sure they aren’t worn and slippery. Wear a favorite hat for additional warmth, and consider a padded vest to keep your body’s trunk warm. Adequate Lighting: Fading daylight can creep up on us. One of my friends took a yard light and put it in the kitchen window to recharge in the sun each day. When it becomes dark outside, the little light automatically goes on. Another has put tiny automatic nightlights in a few electric outlets. When the lighting is low, the lights automatically come on. These serve as reminders to turn on more lights in the house. Do you have candles handy for the times when the power goes out? If so, throw them away! It’s too easy for lighted candles to fall over or catch clothing on fire. Instead invest in a few flashlights or “dome” lights that you can leave at various places in your home. Don’t forget a small one for your pocket. Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

October 29th 2013

December 22– January 19

Revenue boosters can come in many forms. Don’t overlook a potential source of income, Capricorn. You’ve been wanting to get ahead, and this is the way to do it.

January 20– February 18

Picture it, Aquarius, and it will be yours. It really is that simple this week. A friend has their mind made up. Don’t waste time trying to change it.

February 19– March 20

June 22– July 22

The list of grievances grows at home with the arrival of guests. Leave it be, Cancer. It will all work out in the end. A request for more information is fulfilled.

July 23– August 22 Old habits die hard, Leo. Use whatever extreme measures are necessary to kick a habit. The chase for an heirloom begins. Hop to it.

August 23– September 22

A financial turnaround delights you to no end. Way to go, Pisces! A senior’s outlook on life improves with regular visits. Keep up the good work.

Nagging is not the way to get things done at home, Virgo. You need to hunker down and devise a better plan. A system with rewards might work well.

March 21– April 19

September 23– October 22

A loved one makes a need known. Do what you can to fulfill it, Aries. A promise from long ago is kept. A series of memos gets the ball off the ground.

April 20– May 20

The pasture is not always greener on the other side, Taurus. Take a closer look at your life, focus on what you do have, and the contentment you seek will be yours.

May 21– June 21 Freedom often comes at a price. Be prepared to make some compromises this week, Gemini. The facts get muddled at work, and you must act fast to set every-thing right.

My, oh my, Libra, have you become the clutter king or queen. The piles are growing, and it’s time to take back control of your home.

October 23– November 21

Eek, Scorpio! Trouble is brewing at home, and if you aren’t careful, it could boil over into other areas of your life. Work fast to get things back on track.

November 22– December 21

Love is in the air, and great adventures are in store for you and your special someone. Enjoy, Sagittarius. A task at home proves easy with a new purchase.

• Magaretha Geertruida Zelle was born in 1876 in the Netherlands to a Dutch father and his Javanese wife. She was tall and dark in a country full of short blond people. Following her father’s bankruptcy, her parent’s divorce, and her mother’s death, Margaretha escaped into a marriage at the age of 19. She answered a “wife wanted” ad in the paper which had been placed as a joke, but ended up marrying the man. He was 20 years her senior, and he took her to Indonesia to live. There, she fell in love with the culture and began to study the language, the history, and the dance. • Finding her husband to be abusive, she left him and fled to Paris where she pursued her love of dancing. She was very good at it. She invented a persona in order to add to her mystique, and constantly made up fictional tales about her background, claiming that she was a Javanese princess, or a temple dancer devoted to Shiva, or the daughter of a baron. Because her given name (‘Margaret Gertrude’) was not very alluring, she took a more exotic stage name, choosing ‘Mata Hari,’ which is Malayan for ‘eye of the day’ (dawn). Her seductive and exotic performances caused an instant sensation. Crowds flocked to see her. She toured the world and her name became a household word. She danced wearing nothing but veils, sarongs, and body suits in a day and age where proper women were still required by social norms to cover their ankles. She was particularly renowned for her famous “fan dance.” • Her heyday lasted from 1905 to 1912 before her popularity dropped off, not only because she was gaining weight and aging, but also because younger, better dancers were replacing her on the stage. When World War I began, she was forced to return home to the Netherlands. • In 1916, the Germans asked her to spy for them. At the time, she was having an affair with a German police officer and he may have been the one to talk her into it. By now she was pushing 40 and she needed money. Later the French also asked her to act as a spy for them, expecting her to use her womanly wiles to coax secrets out of German officers. • She was a naive and inexperienced spy and was caught in short order. In January of 1917, the German military attaché in Madrid transmitted radio messages to Berlin describing the helpful activities of a German spy, code-named H-21. French intelligence agents intercepted the messages and identified H-21 as Mata Hari. The messages were in a code that some claimed that German intelligence knew had already been broken by the French, leading to speculation that the Germans were tired of her and wanted her out of their way, but wanted France to do the dirty work for them. • On February 13, 1917, Mata Hari was arrested in her room in Paris. She was put on trial in July, accused of spying for Germany and consequently causing the deaths of at least 50,000 soldiers. However, there was little clear evidence against her. She was not allowed to testify on her behalf during the trial, and her defense attorney was not allowed to cross-examine the prosecution’s witnesses or directly question his own witnesses. Under the circumstances, her conviction was a foregone conclusion. She was sentenced to death. • She was executed by firing squad on October 15, 1917, at the age of 41. She refused a blindfold and stood facing the guns. Her final act was to blow a kiss to the firing squad. • German documents unsealed in the 1970s proved that Mata Hari was truly a German agent.

THIS IS A HAMMER By Samantha Mazzotta

Someone Kicked a Hole in Bathroom Door

STRANGE BUT TRUE by Samantha Weaver

● It was American writer Gore Vidal who made the following sage observation: “The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western world. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity -- much less dissent.” ● If you’re like most people, you’ve probably never encountered a tziganologist. That is, unless you consort with those who study Hungarian gypsies. ● When someone mentions the rock band ZZ Top, you probably think of a group of musicians with beards. They don’t all have beards, though; the drummer is clean-shaven as a matter of safety (imagine being in the middle of a drum solo and getting a stick caught in a long beard -- ouch!). Interestingly, the unbearded drummer’s name is Frank Beard. ● Squirrels are wonderful foresters. Every year, thousands of trees grow from caches of nuts and acorns that squirrels forgot about. ● If you see a group of pugs together, know that they’re collectively called a grumble. ● One anagram of “William Shakespeare” is “I am a weakish speller.” Incidentally, a person who comes up with anagrams is known as an “anagrammatist.

It was Loomis’s day to walk about the grounds of the asylum. Pausing by the fence, he looked into the fields of the farmer next door. “Hey,” he yelled, “what the heck are you doing?” “Spreading fertilizer on the strawberries,” replied the farmer. Shaking his head, Loomis says, “Fella, you ought to have dessert here some time.

“We eat them with cream and sugar.”

● Post-Halloween sales are a great time to pick up imagination-stimulating accessories and outfits for the dress-up bin. ● “Young children often love the act of pumpkin carving, but apart from letting them scoop out the seeds (which is fun!), there’s not a safe way to let them help with the cutting. I recommend purchasing a small pumpkin for the little ones to decorate with markers or paint.” -- W.F. in South Carolina ● “Baby lotion is great to have around on Halloween, because it can be used to remove face paint. Masks can restrict children’s vision when trick-or-treating, so face paint is a better way to go. Use a washcloth and baby lotion to get that paint off quick.” -- A.V. in Oregon ● Choose a battery-powered candle for your carved Jack-o-lanterns. You can leave it on longer, even when you aren’t home. And it’s much safer than a true flame. ● “Give any costume that your kid wants to wear for Halloween the “dance test.” Have him or her put on the costume and dance around. If the child is tripping over the hems or the accessories are cumbersome, a change is in order.” -- M. in Michigan

D A After being laid off from five different jobs in four months, Peter was hired by a warehouse. But one day he lost control of the forklift and drove it off the loading dock. Surveying the damage, the owner shook his head and said he’d have to withhold 10 percent of Peter’s wages to pay for the repairs. “How much will it cost?” asked Peter “About $4,500,” said the owner. “What a relief!” exclaimed Peter. “I’ve finally got job security!”
