America is a country full of would-be inventors. For most, it’s as simple as discovering a prob-lem that no one’s ever solved and coming up with a creative and inexpensive solution. Here are just a few of the countless TV marvels that have been advertised on our sets since this phe-nomenon began.

• Agoodexampleofthewhole“discoveraprob-lem, discover a solution” method of inventing isthe“Snap-ItScrew.”It’samethodofreplac-ingthetiny,anddifficulttohandle,screwsthathold eyeglasses together.

• The“Snap-ItScrew”was inventedbyNancyTedeschi.“Theoldsayingthatnecessityisthemother of inventions is what inspired [it],” said Tedeschi.Shemeant it literally, as itwasherown mother who inspired the invention’s cre-ation.

•Tedeschi’smotherwasoverseasdoingvolunteerwork when a hinge screw in her glasses broke. Left with no other immediate remedy, Tedes-chi’s mother pulled the pin out of one of her earrings and placed it where the former hinge had been.

• “She wore this dangling bead from the hinge of her glasses for about a year. She traveled to several foreign countries with it in, and people would literally stop her on the streets and ask her where she got this charm,” said Tedeschi. “My mom came to me and said, ‘You have to invent charms for glasses.’”

• For Tedeschi, inventing the “Snap-It Screw” was the easy part. The difficult part was doing all the things necessary to produce and market her new invention. She had to set up patents all over the world. She had to set up a factory in China and a warehouse in Seattle, Washing-ton. She had to spend countless hours market-ing her idea to retailers. Today, the “Snap-It Screw” is a success, and Tedeschi says that despite all the hard work, she wouldn’t change a thing.

• “Bling To Go” was invented by Abby Appelt during a period where she was forced to use crutches. She felt the dull metal could use a little pizzazz. So she created some decorative wrap-on decals to give her crutches some per-sonality, and her invention was born.

• Appelt said, “When I wore my crutch décor, I had people stop me, literally everywhere I went, complimenting me on how awesome my crutches were!”

• As Appelt notes, people decorate a million different things with stickers, so it made sense to do likewise with crutches.

• “Bling To Go” works on crutches, canes, walkers and bed poles. It’s a medical grade product that can be sanitized and cleaned, so it presents no health hazard to the user. The company’s slogan is “express your health,” and they back up their words by being active contributors to several physical and emotion-al health charities.

• Perhaps one of the more peculiar and inno-vative creations making the invention circuit is the “Bogdon Bass.” It’s a standing bass guitar whose main component is a cardboard box!

• The “Bogdon Bass” is literally a large card-board box sealed with tape, with a wooden neck and vinyl strings. It can be played with or without an amplifier. Because of the use of these materials, it is lightweight, inexpensive and recyclable.

• This peculiar instrument was invented by a man named Chris Badynee. He named the in-strument after his father, Bogdon.

• “The inspiration to make my Bogdon Box Bass was that I had the desire to own some-thing that I couldn’t afford, so I made one myself,” explained Badynee. “All I wanted was a natural-sounding upright bass for my own home recordings of songs I wrote.”

• After assembling what he thought was just a silly idea only he’d use, Badynee was shocked by how good the makeshift instru-ment sounded. “[It] sounded so fantastic that I had to tell someone. So I filmed a 60-second

video and posted it on the web. I got 1,000 hits on Youtube in less than a day.”

• The video became a bit of a viral sensation, and Badynee was asked by “Good Morning, Amer-ica” for the right to show the video on their pro-gram.

• Almost immediately after the video was shown on television, Badynee received requests to buy a “Bogdon Box.” He brought in his uncle and a couple of acoustic technicians to help him per-fect it. Once they got the instrument exactly right, they began selling it on Ebay to a huge re-sponse. Hundreds were sold, almost as quickly as they could turn them out.

• Badynee took the profits from those sales to protect and patent his invention. Eventually, his belief in his invention paid off in praise, when his bass was given a rave review in “Bass Player Magazine.”

• A well-known invention marketed via televi-sion infomercials is the Snuggie. This blanket with sleeves solved a problem most people didn’t even know they had.

• Since it covers your entire body but keeps your hands free thanks to its armholes, Snuggie wearers stay warm while still retaining the abil-ity to take sip of their drink, change the channel or turn the page of a book.

• The Snuggie was introduced in 2008 and was an instant success. By 2009, 20 million Snug-gies had been sold. But there was actually a similar product already on the market, The Slanket, invented by Gary Clegg when he was a college freshman.

• Because it is difficult to patent a textile prod-uct, Clegg had not patented The Slanket, so the makers of the Snuggie were able to make and market their product legally.

• Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but it’s a safe bet that Clegg felt something oth-er than pride when he first saw the Snuggie. F

Q: Late one night last week, my husband jumped up and said he’d seen a mouse scurry under oneofthekitchencabinets.Iputasticky trap down near the cabinet he mentioned, but haven’t caught a mouseyet.Anyideas?--SherryinSalem,N.H.

A:Micecanbeprettygoodatavoidingcertain traps, which, as you’ve found, is pretty frustrating. And if your husband has seen one, there’s bound to be more -- especially at this time of year, as wild creatures begin to look for places to hunker down for the winter.

If you have a professional pest-controlservice that visits routinely (twice per year,at least), be sure to mention the possible infestation. The serviceperson likely will put down more traps and ask you to call them if a mouse is caught. Meantime, look forsigns of mouse infestation. You likely will find their droppings in areas of the kitchenwhere humans don’t spend a lot of time, such as the corners of lower kitchen cabinets. You may see gnawed-on areas of the lower walls, baseboards or cabinets, or the sawdust remainders of such gnawing. House mice alsohaveamuskyodor;ifyounoticethisina particular area of the house, a nest may be nearby.

Sticky traps, or glue traps, are costeffective and quick to set up -- you simplypeel back the plastic covering and set the trap face up against a wall in an area where mouse activity is indicated or has been noticed. You alsocantrythemoretraditional“snaptrap,”

which can stay in place longer and be reused. Set more trapsthan you think you’ll need, but make sure that they’re out of reachofpetsandchildren.Baittraps with favorite mice items like a tiny bit of cheese or a dot of peanut butter.

Another method is poisoned bait. This is sold in several forms, but one less accessible method is to purchase sealed pellets. These are poison pellets inside a sealed container that you place inside the wall or in a location pets can’t reach but mice can. The mice chew through the container to eat the pellet. To further reduce a mouse infestation, clean out cabinets that contain food items as well as yourpantry. Inspect containers for evidenceof gnawing or other access by mice, and discard affected containers. Place grains and flouringlassorfood-gradeplasticcontainers.Storeboxeditemsoffthefloorandawayfromknown mice access points.

Locate and seal holes in your home’s walls, exterior and interior, that are larger than1/4inch.Forholesthatcan’torshouldnotbesealed(likesoffitairvents),makesurethat screens and similar barriers are in place and in good repair.

HOLLYWOOD -- Robert Pattinson’s break-up with his “Twilight” co-star Kristen Stewartovershadowed the news that he’s planning to fill the shoes of movie legend Peter O’Toole inthe role that defined his career, T.E. Lawrencein“LawrenceofArabia.” In l962,historianshadproblemswiththeoriginalscriptbyRobertBolt.Consideredoneofthegreatestfilmsofalltime,itwontheBestPictureOscar,butnotforBolt,whohadtowaituntil“Dr.Zhivago”and“AManforAllSeasons”towinhistwo.Thefilm,notaremake,iscalled“Queenof theDesert.”O’Toolehadstrik-ingly bleached blond hair and came off a bit gay, which makes us wonder how Pattinson and direc-tor Werner Herzog will choose to play him in their film.
