FAST FACT • Italian artist Enrico Baj creates works of art out of neckties by dipping them in plastic or gluing them to canvas. He comments, “Ties are a symbol of vanity and ostentation, rather like medals and decorations, although every so often I too am forced to wear one.”

by Janet Spencer The average American businessman spends four hours a year tying his tie. Come along with Tidbits as we find out facts behind the tradition. THE WHYS OF TIES • Wearing bits of cloth around the neck dates back to time immemorial. In the days before laundromats were invented, strips of cloth were worn around the neck because it kept the collar of the shirt from getting dirty. It was far easier to wash a narrow strip of cloth than it was to wash the shirt. Bibs tied around the neck were worn at mealtimes to protect the shirt from spills. In the summer, a wet cloth around the neck kept the body cool. In the winter, it kept the body warm. Men sporting full body armor wore neck cloths to pad their neck from the hard metal. Cloths were worn around the neck to prevent sweat from running down the shirt, or to keep vocal cords warm. Later, strips of cloth tied around the neck became a symbol of class, rank, or station, whether by soldiers or students.

• China’s first emperor, Qin Shih-huangdi, lived in 200 B.C. When he died he was buried in an underground mausoleum surrounded by 7,500 sculptured terra cotta soldiers. The tomb was uncovered in 1974. Archaeologists found that many of the individually carved soldiers sported knotted neck cloths-- the first known instance of the use of neckties. • In the mid-1600s, a crack regiment of soldiers from Croatia visited Paris to celebrate their recent victory over Turkey. The soldiers held court with King Louis XIV, who was a fashion nut. For the occasion, each of the soldiers had tied a brightly colored scarf around their necks. Louis XIV liked the look and began wearing silk neck cloths himself, and the fashion rapidly spread. The French word for Croatia was ‘cravate,’ giving us today’s cravat. • In 1715, another kind of neckwear, called “stocks” made its appearance. The term referred to a leather collar, laced at the back, worn by soldiers to help keep their head held high in a military bearing. The leather stock also offered the wearer some protection to the major blood vessels of the neck from the sharp edge of a sword or the tip of a bayonet. • In England men used to wear a shirt collar which they tied together with string to keep the draft out. Eventually the string became larger and more elaborate, until it was a frill. Then the frill became increasingly more elaborate until it was a ruff instead of a frill until, by the time of Henry VIII, the ruff was so large it covered both of the shoulders. • Neckties came to the forefront of fashion after World War II ended and soldiers returning home felt like dressing up with festive ties. Right after World War II there were over 600 companies making 200 million neckties per year. Call Jamie at 350-5698 if your would like to sponsor the weekly Sudoku puzzle.

was considered a specialty. Wealthy Englishmen who traveled to Italy often experienced their first macaroni, and then went home to Britain and began to serve the dish at their tables. Because the food was rare and unusual, the people who served it became known as ‘macaroni’ which meant fancy, uppity, or overly stylish; the type of people who wore fancy hats, big wigs, and white cravats tied in enormous bows. People living in America where there was less money and less fashion wore simpler clothing, and began to make fun of the Macaronis. Thus, when “Yankee Doodle went to London riding on a pony / Stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni” the unfortunate Doodle (German for ‘fool’) was taking on airs and pretending that a feather in his cap would make people think he was an upper class gent. NECKTIE IMPROVEMENTS • Although a tie may look like a simple piece of cloth, it is actually a complicated piece of sewing joining four different strips of cloth. It was patented by Jesse “Joss” Langsdorf in 1920. Langsdorf, known as the father of the tie, patented the ‘all-weather wrinklefree’ tie. His patented pattern incorporated slip stitching running down the length of the back of the tie which ensured that the tie would return to its original shape when it was taken off. It also added resilience to the tie and prevented rips. Langsdorf also added various linings to the inside of the tie to increase bulk. One of the linings he used was rubber, thus inventing the supposedly ‘weather-proof’ tie. ~ POEM ~ by Conrad Aiken “Stars in the purple dusk above the rooftops Pale in the saffron mist and seem to die, And I myself on a swiftly tilting planet Stand before a glass and tie my tie.”

Put On Your Antennas
It seems like the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas bring us opportunities to show acts of kindness. Those acts of kindness can change the life of those we touch. My personal goal and prayer is that my acts of kindness are not just seasonal, but 365 days a year with a sincere attempt to touch hearts, minds, and souls with a kiss from heaven. The only way I can achieve this is to have God’s antennas attached to my eyes and heart. King David actively pursued an act of kindness;“Is there anyone still alive from the house of Saul to whom I can show God’s kindness?” 2 Samuel 9:3. David found Mephibosheth who said “what do you want with a dead dog like me?” We all have family or family friends that have fallen through the cracks. David’s antennas allowed him to touch and change this man’s life. A lost and forgotten soul was refueled with hope and purpose to live. Put your antennas on and follow through.

• One study showed that wearing a necktie may interfere with perceptual skills needed for job performance. Researchers at Cornell University set out to discover if the pressure of a tie that’s too tight might interfere with blood flow to the brain and eyes. • To do this, they had an ophthalmologist study the retinal veins of a number of men. The pulsing of the retinal veins indicates whether or not the blood supply is circulating efficiently. He found that when the tie was half an inch smaller than the circumference of the man’s neck, the pulsing was no longer visible. This suggests that blood flow to the retina is decreased.

• Next they decided to find if most men wear their ties too tight. They picked 94 businessmen at random and found that 66% were wearing ties that averaged .2 inches smaller than their necks. 12% had ties that were half an inch too small.

THE BIG SQUEEZE

BY Jerry Liska
• Now they wanted to find out if decreased blood flow to the retina can impair eyesight. They had men press a button when a blinking light started blinking so fast that it appeared to be a steady beam; and when it slowed down again to become distinguishable blinks. Each man was tested three times: the first and last times with a loose tie, and the second time with a tight tie. It was found that tight neckware slowed down the response times. Furthermore, their speed did not rebound after the tie was loosened. • The researchers concluded that a too tight tie can impair visual perception and may harm the performance of computer operators, pilots, and others who need good visual discrimination.

FAST FACT The average tie is about 52 to 58 inches long. 3-11-09

Dig a little deeper, Capricorn, and the item you seek will be yours. A feud among friends finally comes to an end, and you have that special someone to thank.
January 20– February 18
A shopping trip uncovers quite the find. Before you stash it away, consider if it wouldn’t serve better in a friend’s collection. This is the season of giving, Aquarius.
February 19– March 20
Work piles up, and suddenly, you’re feeling very overwhelmed. Not to worry, Pisces. Help comes from someone you least expect. A sweet treat tickles the taste buds.
March 21– April 19
The tide turns in your favor at work, and all eyes and ears are on you. Do not waste the opportunity. Make your idea known and prepare for applause all around, Aries.
April 20– May 20
Wake up, Taurus. A senior is trying to pull the wool over your eyes. See the situation for what it is and act upon it. A letter bears interesting news.
May 21– June 21 Good golly, Gemini. Your event calendar is filling up fast. Perhaps you better be choosier with the invites you receive. A gift makes you giddy.
June 22– July 22
Go, Cancer, go! The green light is given, and you must act fast to get your idea off the ground before opinions change. A holiday get-together takes you for a walk down memory lane.
July 23– August 22 Feeling out of sorts, Leo? Don’t be. Look to your family to get you back on track. A review of your finances reveals that you are doing well.
August 23– September 22 Psst, Virgo. A loved one has something important to tell you, something that may call for a celebration. A financial proposal could use some work.
September 23– October 22
Scrap it, Libra. You’ve got too many projects going on as it is. Save it for another time. A romantic gesture paves the way to a weekend getaway.
October 23– November 21
Best wishes punctuate the week and get you in the mood to party. A holiday tradition continues with a twist. Go with it, Scorpio. A phone call proves promising.
November 22– December 21
Prudence is required for the completion of a project. Don’t rush, Sagittarius. A bonehead move on the part of a friend gives you reason to laugh.
• Betty Anne Waters was born in 1955, one of nine children in a chaotic household in Ayers, MA. She was close to her brother Kenny. When a neighbor was murdered in 1980, Kenny was questioned because he had a long history of petty infractions. Kenny had an airtight alibi: He’d worked all night at a local diner, and then had gone straight to the courthouse the next morning to face charges of assaulting a cop. Kenny was released. However, more than two years later, he was arrested and charged with the murder. • The family couldn’t afford a lawyer, but Kenny was certain he’d be exonerated. Yet things soon took a turn for the worse. • Betty Anne Waters stopped in at the diner to make sure they still had his time card on hand that would prove his alibi. The secretary assured her that yes, the time card was still on hand, because the police had called and ordered to pick it up. When the trial started, however, the police said that no time card had ever existed. Then, two people testified against Kenny.

• He soon attempted suicide. He begged his sister for help, asking her to become a lawyer so she could help prove his innocence. She promised to do so, as long as he promised not to attempt suicide again. Betty had no idea at the time how to even begin.
Production 1st shift $9.00, 2nd & 3rd $9.25
• She began by taking night classes at a community college, and then put herself through law school, all while raising two kids and managing a local pub. “It seemed like as long as I was doing something in school, Kenny was O.K.,” she said. It took her 13 years to get her law degree. • She searched for DNA evidence which had supposedly been destroyed, and met with witnesses who admitted they had lied on the stand. The turning point arrived in 2000, when she teamed up with the Innocence Project. Together they obtained access to DNA testing on evidence from the crime scene which they doggedly tracked down. The results proved Kenny’s innocence. He was released in 2001, having served 18 years for a crime he did not commit. • Kenny moved in with his loyal sister, and together they had a blast doing chat shows, media interviews, even appearing on “Oprah.” • Tragically, just six months after his release in 2001, Kenny took a short cut over a fence, tripped, and fell 15 feet on to concrete. Thirteen days later, with Betty by his side in hospital, he died. • Even after his death, Betty continued her campaign on his behalf. It took her another seven years to track down the evidence that would prove the police had deliberately sent the wrong man to prison. Fingerprint evidence that proved Kenny’s innocence had been hidden. Two witnesses had been coerced into testifying against him. The town of Ayer settled a lawsuit for $3.4 million. In 2010, a movie called “Conviction” was made, with Hilary Swank playing the role of Betty. • In the meantime, Betty returned to her regular life: managing a pub, tending her family. She opted out of joining any law firm or starting a practice of her own. However, she does volunteer her time working for the Innocence Project, which works to exonerate the wrongfully accused. But the only time she’s returned to court was when the pub she works for had trouble renewing its liquor license. She won the case.

Blueberries and Tea for Health?
If you like to have a blueberry muffin and a cup of green tea in the morning, you might be halfway to increasing your cognitive functioning. That’s only half said in jest. Natura Therapeutics, a pharmaceutical company, has created a product that has been proven to increase cognitive function in older adults -- and blueberries and tea are half the ingredients. The whole list of ingredients is proprietary blend of blueberry, L-carnosine, green tea and vitamin D-3, which when combined produce more stem-cell rejuvenation than if used individually. The product is called NutraStem Cardio. In a double-blind test (no one knew who was getting the real thing or a placebo), 105 adults with an average age of 73.6 years were tested in six different areas: verbal ability, working memory, executive functioning, processing speed, episodic memory and complex speed. After doing a baseline test, the participants were retested two months later. The results: processing speed improved significantly, and there were improvements in decision-making, memory and attention. This means that there’s hope for having products that actually improve cognitive health. There are some caveats, however: The company did its own research. The number of participants was small, and it was only done once. On the other hand, Natura Therapeutics is aligned with the University of South Florida, and the school’s scientists are the ones who developed the product and ran the research. This is big. Grabbing any supplement off the grocery shelves is risky because we don’t know what’s in the products or where they came from. With the University of South Florida standing behind this one, there’s assurance that at least the product won’t hurt us and might even help.

THIS IS A HAMMER By Samantha Mazzotta
Get Outdoor Plants Ready for Winter
Q: What outdoor plants should I protect during the winter? Which can be left alone? -- Seth in New Jersey A: For exact information on which plants to protect and how, you’ll want to ask at your local garden center. Each plant is different, but most are classified in the U.S. based on the growing zone in which they do best. If a plant is classed as “hardy” for your zone, it should do all right in the cold weather, with a few precautions. If not, or if it is a potted plant, consider bringing it inside, or wrap the plant or shrub in burlap tied with string to protect it from frosts and freezes. Many perennials need just a fresh layer of mulch, applied before the first hard frost. Again, check with your garden center or research your type of plant on the Internet to determine which mulch is best to use -- bark, hay, straw or leaves -- and how deep to mulch. Other ways to prepare your yard for winter include clearing away any loose debris, such as leaves and fallen branches, to prevent them from blowing around in the winter. If your garden has been harvested, now’s the time to turn the soil and remove any stalks and dead vines before the ground freezes. It’s also a good time to start a compost heap, if you haven’t got one already. By spring, you should have some good compost to start the next garden. HOME TIP: Trouble with squirrels invading a bird feeder? Set the feeder at least 6 feet from tree branches or roof eaves and mount it on a metal pole, which is harder to climb Send your questions or comments to ask@thisisahammer.com, or write This Is a Hammer, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

● “Store popcorn in the refrigerator. You will have fewer unpopped kernels, because the cold temperature makes them heat more evenly.” -- W.A. in Massachusetts ● Chewing gum stuck in your hair? Rub with a spoonful of peanut butter. Massage into the gum-stuck hair. The oil in the peanut butter breaks down the gum, and you can comb it out or wash out the residue once you pick away the globs. How about on your clothes? Remove the garment and stick it in the freezer for several hours. The gum hardens, and you can literally peel it off in chunks. Use an old toothbrush to brush out any remaining crumbs of gum.

So the guy goes out to his car and he looks around for a tie and discovers that he just doesn’t have one. He sees a set of jumper cables in his trunk. In desperation he ties these around his neck, manages to fashion a fairly acceptable looking knot and lets the ends dangle free.
