ducing about 5% of the world’s apples, while Turkey is in third place. About 70 million tons of apples are grown worldwide annually. • When the Pilgrims arrived in North America in the 17th century, they discovered crabapples, but disliked their sour and woody taste. The colonists requested that seeds and cuttings be sent from England on subsequent voyages, and North America’s first apple orchard was planted in Boston in 1625. During the early 1800s, Massachusetts native John Chapman traveled across Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois planting apple trees, and became known as Johnny Appleseed. • In 1820, a London sea captain brought seeds to North America’s western coast, the origin of the state of Washington’s apple crop, the largest in the U.S. More than 60% of America’s apple crop of 220,000,000 bushels are grown in Washington. That’s a lot of apples, considering that one bushel is 48 lbs. (21.8 kg.)! • Although we think of Eve convincing Adam to eat a forbidden apple in the Garden of Eden, the Bible’s Book of Genesis does not actually identify the fruit as an apple. It refers to it as the fruit of the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” In ancient languages, the word “apple” was used as a generic term for any round fruit that grew on a tree, bringing about the common misconception that Eve was tempted with an apple. • Apples were associated with pagan religious practices and as mythological symbols. Norse mythology portrays apples as a source of eternal youthfulness, while Greek and Roman myths refer to the fruit as a symbol of love and beauty. Remains of apples have been found in the graves of early Germanic people • The Jonathan apple is mostly red with patches of lime green. There are differences of opinion as to how this variety got its name. Some say an Ohio woman, Rachel Higley, was responsible for discovering it in 1804, and cultivating an orchard of this tart fruit, naming it after her husband Jonathan. Others claim it was first discovered in 1826 in Woodstock, New York, and was named after Jonathan Hasbrouck, who first introduced the fruit. • The McIntosh apple has its origins in Canada, discovered by John McIntosh on his Ontario farm in 1811. • The flavor of the Golden Delicious apple varies depending on the climate. When grown in a cool climate, the amount of acid increases, resulting in a sweeter taste, while in a warmer climate, the acid quantity is lower, and the apple has a milder flavor. This variety was first discovered on a West Virginia farm in 1890 and was known as the Mullins Yellow Seedling for 25 years before being renamed. The Golden Delicious has been used as a parent to develop several other varieties including the Gala, Ambrosia, Pink lady, and Jonagold. • The number of apples imported from New Zealand is increasing every year. The popular Braeburn apple was developed there in 1952, and another favorite, the Gala, was cultivated in New Zealand beginning in the 1970s. • The phrase “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a common one. But where did it originate? The first recorded use of the old proverb is in the 1860s in a Pembrokeshire, Wales, publication in a little different form: “Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread.”

• It’s certainly true that apples help keep a person healthy. They are loaded with nutrients and antioxidants that keep the body on track. Their supply of Vitamin C helps the body resist infection and disease, while an apple’s B-complex vitamins are vital to a healthy metabolism. Its potassium content aids in controlling heart rate and blood pressure. • Apples are full of fiber, about 4 grams in a medium-size fruit. Research has shown that those who eat high-fiber foods have a higher protection against Parkinson’s Disease and high cholesterol. • How about some positive percentages? The American Association for Cancer Research tells us that eating apples can reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer by up to 23%. Women who eat one apple every day are 28% less likely to develop Type 2 diabetes, while other studies indicate that the apple’s antioxidants contribute to a 15% reduced likelihood of developing cataracts. • Pregnant women who regularly consume apples are less likely to have children with asthma. Apple eaters have better lung function. Apples can even aid in preventing tooth decay by stimulating the production of saliva, which lowers the levels of the mouth’s bacteria. And they’re low in calories – about 95 in one medium-sized apple. With all these health benefits, why wouldn’t we all want to have an apple a day? • Apples also have their place in folklore. Legend has it that if you can peel an apple in one long strip, then toss it backwards over your left shoulder, the shape made by the peel will be the initial of your future spouse. An old wives’ tale says that warts can be cured by cutting an apple into the number of pieces equal to the number of warts. Rub each apple piece on a wart, then bury the pieces. As the fruit rots in the ground, the warts are said to disappear. During Yuletide, many cultures engage in the ancient custom of wassailing the apple trees to drive away bad luck and ensure a good harvest. Farmers choose one tree, and the village folk gather round it, drinking to the tree with cider. Cider is also thrown over the roots, followed by placing a piece of bread soaked in cider into a fork of the tree’s branches.

FAMOUS CANADIANS:
JIM CARREY Jim Carrey is in the spotlight this week, a multi-talented Ontario native who has made us all laugh. • Jim Carrey was a born comedian, performing for his junior high classmates at an early age. His father was a musician, but was obliged to get a “real” job to support his wife and children. However, when Jim was a teenager, his father lost that job, and the family quickly became nearly poverty-stricken, even living out of a van for a time. Carrey, a straight-A student, was forced to drop out to help support the family, working as a janitor at a factory. When his mother became seriously ill and was bedridden, Carrey practiced his comedy on her to make her laugh. • When he was 10 years old, Carrey wrote to Carol Burnett, asking if he could appear on her variety show. He never received a reply. However, 36 years later, his dream of starring with the famed comedienne came true when the two of them did voice-overs in Horton Hears a Who. • At age 17, Carrey bravely moved to Los Angeles and managed to get a gig at The Comedy Store. It was there that he was spotted by comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who signed him as his opening act on tour. Carrey auditioned for Saturday Night Live in 1980, but was not selected. (Ironically, he went on to host the show twice.) In 1983, at age 21, Carrey debuted on The Tonight Show. • Upon arrival in L.A., Carrey wrote himself a check for $10 million and put it in his wallet, determining that at some point in his life, he would be able to cash it. Fifteen years later, that resolution came true. • Carrey first became well-known in 1990, when he landed a regular slot on the comedy show In Living Color. The year 1994 was a big one for Carrey, as he had the leading role in three hits, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,
Jim Carrey Dumb and Dumber, and The Mask. An Ace Ventura sequel came out the following year and Carrey’s stardom was secured. He took over the role of The Riddler in 1995’s Batman Forever. In 1996, he became the first actor to command a $20 million salary for a film in his role in The Cable Guy. • Jim Carrey is not all about crazy facial expressions, flexible body movements, and slapstick comedy. In 1998, he took on a serious role in the critically-acclaimed The Truman Show, which garnered Carrey his first Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama. His second Best Actor Golden Globe came the following year when he portrayed entertainer Andy Kaufman in the bio Man in the Moon. • Carrey has acknowledged that he has ADHD, and has at times battled depression. Although he treated his depression with Prozac, he now declares himself medication-free, and avoids all stimulants, including coffee. • In his free time, Jim Carrey enjoys painting and sculpting, and in recent years, his work has been featured at various exhibits. • Although Carrey was granted U.S. citizenship in 2004, he retains dual citizenship with Canada, stating, “I have no intention of giving up my Canadian heritage, and all those who loved and supported me. I will always be proud to be a Canadian.”

MOVIE POSTERS Q: My dad managed a movie theater in a small Indiana town throughout the 1950s. Occasionally, he would bring home movie posters, and I have inherited his collection of about 50, many of them classics. They include "Imitation of Life," "Picnic," "Rebel Without a Cause," "Summer Place" and "Marty." I would like to sell them. Any suggestions? -- Carol, Davenport, Iowa A: Movie memorabilia has skyrocketed in value during the past few decades. Conway's Vintage Treasures is an auction house that specializes in movie-related materials and might be a good source for you. The address is P.O. Box 40962, Providence, RI 02940. Your collection sounds interesting and could be quite valuable. An original one-sheet of "Rebel Without a Cause" recently sold online for $2,600. *** Q: My mother has collected Fenton glass for at least 30 years. She has two china cabinets filled and even more in storage. Our problem is determining values. Can you advise us? -- Susie, Panama City, Fla.
SQUIRRELS October is Squirrel Awareness Month. How much do you know about this family of rodents? Follow along and see!
other squirrels into their nests to conserve body heat, but as soon as it warms up, it’s back to their solitary lifestyle.
• Scuiridae is a family of small or medium-size rodents that includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots, woodchucks, gophers, flying squirrels, and prairie dogs. Squirrels are the largest group of living mammals, with over 360 species making up 40% of all mammal species.
• If you see a squirrel leaving wet footprints on a sidewalk, it must be a hot day. The sweat glands are located in the pads of the feet, and the tiny footprints are the product of perspiration.
• The word “squirrel” has its origins in the ancient Greek language from the word Skiouros, which translates “shadow-tailed.” • The smallest squirrel is the African pygmy squirrel with a length of just 2.8 to 3.9 inches (7 to 10 cm) and a weight of 0.35 oz. (10 g). The largest, the Alpine marmot, living high in the Alps and Pyrenees, grows up to 29 inches long (73 cm), and can weigh 18 lbs. (8 kg). • In order to remain healthy, an adult squirrel must eat about a pound of food (0.45 kg) every week. The average squirrel enjoys a diet of nuts, seeds, and fruit, but will consume bird eggs, bugs, and even the dead body of another animal in a pinch. The brain of most squirrels is about
the size of a walnut. • The body of a squirrel has many unique characteristics. Its very large eyes give it an excellent sense of vision. Because the eyes are high and on the side of the head, the animal has a wide field of vision without having to turn its head. A squirrel can also rotate its hind feet 180 degrees at the ankle, which enables it to easily descend a tree head first. It also has special whiskers known as vibrissae on its head and limbs, which gives the squirrel an exceptional sense of touch. • Squirrels are the cleanest animal in the rodent family, taking a long time to perform grooming tasks. Surprisingly, the male takes twice as long as the female to groom itself. • They’re also loners, with adult squirrels normally living alone. When it gets extremely cold, they will allow
• Ever wonder how a squirrel finds the nuts it buries? Before it buries the nut, the squirrel licks the nut to apply its personal scent to it, enabling the rodent to sniff it out when hunger strikes. • That big fluffy tail isn’t just for show. Squirrels often use their tails as a signaling device to communicate. • Don’t worry about contracting rabies from a squirrel bite, because rabies is practically unknown in squirrels. There is no record of a human getting rabies from a squirrel bite. However, a squirrel bite is nothing to take casually. Some species have a bite force of 7,000 lbs. per square inch. How strong is that? Compare it to the human, whose bite force is around 500 lbs. per square inch. The squirrel’s teeth are always growing, due to the constant wear on them. Incisors grow about six inches (15.2 cm) per year.
A: There are several excellent price guides that might be helpful. One of the better ones is "Warman's Fenton Glass" by Mark Moran and published by Krause Books. It is easy to use and features more than 1,000 illustrations in full color, making identification easier. The prices in this guide also seem to accurately reflect the marketplace. Keep in mind, however, that values change, and you should consider that in assessing your mom's collection. There are regional differences, too. For example, a piece of Fenton ruby glass might sell in a Phoenix shop for $35 but in the Dallas market for much more. *** Q: Several years ago, I found a pair of sunglasses from the 1940s. I like the design and have since tried to find others from this same period, but am not having much luck. Even though I prowl thrift shops in my area, I have been unable to find any that interest me. -- Laura, Chesterfield, Mo. A: Vintage Eyewear of New York has an impressive inventory and might be a good place for you to contact in your search for older sunglasses.

free thinkers and individualists as Mark Twain, Ada Clare, Ralph Waldo Emerson and the bar's owner, Henry Clapp Jr. Most of us were introduced to Walt Whitman in high-school literature classes, where he often was presented as a dull poet. In reality, Whitman helped deďŹ ne American letters.

"REBEL SOULS: WALT WHITMAN AND AMERICA'S FIRST BOHEMIANS" by Justin Martin (Da Capo Press, $27.99) Reviewed by Larry Cox Justin Martin has blown the dust off of the New York City of the pre-Civil War era. He's magically made both the period and the people who inhabited it relevant, stirring and captivating with his true account of a New York City bar and its clientele.

Pfaff's Saloon was located in the basement of a building on Broadway just a few doors north of Bleecker Street. During the 1850s, Walt Whitman and his "circle of Bohemians" found comfort and inspiration in its permissive atmosphere. Evenings often included the company of such
Serving Aventura, Dania Beach, Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, North Miami Beach and Sunny Isles Beach.
He was born in Long Island in 1819, took up journalism in 1848 and began writing his masterpiece, "Leaves of Grass," during the early 1850s. The ďŹ rst edition, a mere folio of 95 pages, was not successful. A second larger and expanded edition also failed. Whitman then went to Boston, where he worked with publishers on a third edition expanded to include 100 new poems. Ralph Waldo Emerson considered several of them so risque that he advised the writer to delete them. Whitman refused. Even though his 1860 edition was controversial, it also was an American and even international masterpiece. For example, Vincent Van Gogh painted his "Starry Night" after reading "Leaves of Grass" in translation. Whitman's fame continued to grow following the Civil War, and he entertained such literary heavyweights as Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow at his home in Camden, N.J. Here's a prediction: If you read this book, your next move likely will be to locate and re-read "Leaves of Grass." Make certain it's the celebrated third edition. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

From the beginning, wine was made from grapes, but it wasn't long before it was discovered that grapes were wonderful dried, and there is even mention of raisins in the Bible. The practice of making oil from the seeds also is ancient and appears to have begun soon after cultivation began. The same is true for the leaves, which are eaten fresh or brined, and a version of stuffed grape leaves not only is integral to Greek cuisine, but found in the foods of almost every Middle Eastern country. The fruit itself is a good source of vitamins A and C, and antioxidants. The leaves are especially high in vitamin A and minerals, while the oil or extract from the seeds also contain antioxidants that may be helpful in lowering cholesterol and fighting heart disease. Keep grapes in the coldest part of the refrigerator wrapped in a perforated plastic bag to allow excess moisture to escape. Unfortunately, grapes won't ripen after they've been picked.

FRUIT OF THE VINE
SPINACH AND GRAPES SALAD
If you were to make a checklist of all the wonderful qualities one fruit could possess -- sweet, tart, tasty raw or cooked, fresh or dried, with delicious juice, various flavors, edible leaves and nutritious oil -- the grape and its vine would check every box. It must be for that reason that no other fruit, no matter how glamorous its reputation, is grown and produced as much as the grape.
Makes 6 servings 10 ounces chopped fresh spinach, washed 1 cup berries or grapes, or 10 strawberries, chopped 1 10-ounce can mandarin or clementine orangs or grapefruit sections, drained and rinsed 1/4 cup sunflower seeds 1/4 cup chopped unsalted Brazil nuts 1/4 cup fat-free raspberry vinaigrette Toss ingredients together and serve.
The cultivation of grapes dates back to the beginning of civilization on the Asian and European continents. In North America, when the Europeans arrived, they found almost countless varieties of wild grapes, many found nowhere else in the world. Most of those wild grapes were considered inedible by the early colonists, although they were an elemental food of the Native Americans. Soon, however, the wild American grapes became hybridized with European varieties, and grapes became more widely consumed. One of the notable varieties is the super-delicious Concord grape.
When it comes to cooking with grapes, most people think of jams or pies, but even sweet grapes add an interesting dimension of flavor to savory dishes, and the more bitter grapes, such as some of the wild varieties like the Texas Muscadine, take on a sweetness when sauteed or roasted. If you've never tried grape leaves, you are missing a tangy treat. They are the perfect receptacle for a wide variety of stuffings.

Aspartame is found in most diet sodas, sugar-free mints and gum. It also may cause several fatal disorders, including multiple sclerosis, lupus, diabetes, various types of memory loss and even Alzheimer's disease. It actually can cause weight gain, and when it settles in the brain, it can turn to formaldehyde ... yes, embalming fluid.

HOLLYWOOD -- MGM and Paramount Pictures are remaking the classic 1959 film "Ben-Hur," which won Charlton Heston an Oscar. "Boardwalk Empire" star Jack Huston, grandson of John Huston and nephew of Anjelica Huston, will play Judah, aka Ben-Hur. The script, by John Ridley ("12 Years a Slave") and Keith Clarke, is based on the 1880 novel "Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ." You can bet the $359 million grosses of "Noah," with Russell Crowe, prompted this reboot.
Until very recently, Yoplait light had aspartame in it. It since has been replaced with Splenda (sucralose), which, some say, along with Equal (Nutra Sweet) and Sweet & Low, may be just as bad. Critics of artificial sweeteners say that so far, the only seemingly safe sugar substitute is Stevia. Some 250 million people consume aspartame every day, most unknowingly. To be safe, they say, read the label of everything you buy, and don't eat or drink anything that contains these artificial sweeteners.
***

The hot topic at Hollywood parties lately is the speculation that Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's disease might be attributed to the sugar-substitute aspartame. In the 1980s, Michael did commercials for Pepsi Co., and in later years of the contract promoted Diet Pepsi exclusively. Many believe because he became an ardent drinker of Diet Pepsi, he consumed a great deal of aspartame. Then in 1991, he was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson's disease.
Vanessa Hudgens, who starred with Zac Efron in "High School Musical," "High School Musical 2" and "High School Musical 3: Senior Year," and on the big screen in "Journey 2: Mysterious Island" with Josh Hutcherson and Dwayne Johnson (which grossed $316 million), is headed for Broadway in the Lerner and Loewe musical "Gigi." The 1958 musical grossed over $13 million (big money then) and won nine Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for Vincent Minnelli (Liza's father). It'll open at The Kennedy Center in January. Vanessa starts out as a teenager and then blossoms into womanhood. "Thank Heavens for Little Girls," as the hit song in the show goes.

In 2000, Fox founded the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which was dedicated to finding the cause and cure for Parkinson's. It discovered that the disease occurs whenever dopamine-related nerve cells inside the brain are decimated. In studies, aspartame has been shown to decrease dopamine levels in the brain.

Q: I know it won't start back up until next year, but can you give me any scoop about "Hannibal"? -- Linda F., Galveston, Texas A: As we saw in the season-two finale, Gillian Anderson's character, Dr. Bedelia du Maurier, was more than just Hannibal Lector's psychologist -- she's his getaway buddy (possibly lover?). Executive producer Bryan Fuller confirmed that Gillian has been bumped up from a recurring character to series regular. He also teased that when the show returns in 2015, it will be one year after Hannibal and Bedelia jetted off to Europe (after the bloodbath that he caused at his house), and that the show will feel like "a pilot for a new series starring Mads Mikkelsen and Gillian Anderson."
Bryan Fuller told TVLine.com: "The cast and crew of 'Hannibal' are positively giddy to be welcoming Gillian to season three as a series regular. A striking presence on stage and screen, she brings wit, grace and intelligence to every role she embodies. Screenwriting is so much easier when you're inspired by a great actor, and Gillian has filled the 'Hannibal' writers room with wonderful inspiration. I can't wait for audiences to see her make a bigger meal out of 'the Cannibal' than ever before." *** Q: "Banshee" is my all-time favorite TV series that airs on Cinemax. I've watched seasons one and two several times, and have bought the DVDs for both seasons. Can you please tell me when season three will return? -John F., Palm Springs, Calif. A: "Banshee" will return for a new season in early 2015. The series -- which is executive-produced by one of my favorite authors, Jonathan Tropper, and one of my favorite screenwriters,
Alan Ball -- centers on Lucas Hood, an ex-con and master thief who tracks down Carrie Hopewell, his former lover and partner in crime, who is now the wife of the Banshee, Pa., prosecutor. Lucas becomes Banshee's sheriff and continues his criminal activities, even though he's being hunted by the criminals he betrayed years earlier. A bit of a spoiler for you: Jonathan Tropper revealed that while Proctor still will be an important nemesis for Lucas, Chayton will be back in a big way. Also, Dennis O'Hare, whom I loved on "True Blood," will guest-star on one episode. *** Q: Will "Cougar Town" be back for another season? -- Carly T., via email A: The Cul-de-Sac Crew will return to TBS for its sixth and final season in early 2015. SPOILER ALERT: Brian Van Holt, who plays the hilariously dimwitted Bobby Cobb, will be leaving the series early, with his final appearance in the season-six opener.
Gillian Anderson *** Q: I was happy to read in your column that "Beauty and the Beast" would be returning, but I haven't seen it on the CW's fall schedule. -- Tina R., via email A: The cop drama/romance/fantasy series will return for a third season as a midseason show, which means sometime in early to spring 2015.

Diet Can Cut Risk of Prostate Cancer DEAR DR. ROACH: Do you believe that lycopene, which is found in certain foods such as cooked tomatoes, can help prevent prostate cancer? -- C.R.O.
After ten weeks, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol increased by 12.5 mg/dL and total cholesterol by 10.1 mg/dL. Triglycerides also increased slightly. The worst outcomes were seen among the subgroup that had been the healthiest before starting the diet. The authors noted that any improvements from the exercise program may be negated by the “Paleo” diet. Smith MM, Trexler ET, Sommer AJ, Starkoff BE, Devor ST. Unrestricted Paleolithic diet is associated with unfavorable changes to blood lipids in healthy subjects. Int J Exerc Sci. 2014;7:128-139. Dr. Steven T. Devor is the corresponding author for this study; email devor.3@osu.edu.

ANSWER: Lycopene, a vitamin A-like substance found in tomatoes and watermelons, was indeed thought to help prevent prostate cancer. Unfortunately, further studies failed to support this.

“Paleo” Diet Leads to Worsening Cholesterol
Lifestyle choices, including a healthful diet and exercise, may prevent four out of five heart attacks, according to an article published this week in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. Researchers assessed five modifiable health factors among 20,721 men for 11 years. Those who avoided smoking, had moderate alcohol intake, exercised, had the least amount of belly fat, and consumed the most fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes had an 86 percent lower risk for a heart attack, compared with those who did not meet these criteria. Not smoking and eating healthfully had the most powerful individual effects, reducing heart attack risk by 36 and 18 percent, respectively, compared with people who smoke and eat poorly. Less than 2 percent of Americans follow the American Heart Association’s recommendations for ideal heart health. Researchers estimate that the program utilized in this study could reduce the burden of heart disease by as much as 79 percent.

According to a report from the Food and Agriculture Organization, farmed animals are a top contributor to today’s serious environmental problems. The report found that livestock produced 35 percent to 40 percent of all methane emissions (which have 23 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide), 65 percent of nitrous oxide (which is 320 times as warming as carbon dioxide), and 64 percent of ammonia, which contributes to acid rain. In addition to climate changes, the growth of global meat production adds immensely to water pollution and the reduction of forests for livestock grazing. Nearly 30 percent of the Earth’s entire land surface is used for grazing animals, and that amount is expected to grow because the global livestock sector is growing faster than any other agricultural sub-sector.

their exercise room! Ten minutes on the machine equals 4 miles of jogging. -- L.J.
Can you advise me? I am afraid of this advancing. -- G.L.
ANSWER: Vibration machines have been around for years, but the data supporting them is patchy. Some studies have found that they do not improve osteoporosis; others show a slight improvement. Many studies have shown an improvement in low back pain and in strength. The machines are generally safe, but they can cause injuries, especially in the elderly.
ANSWER: Vitiligo is a loss of color in the skin. It can affect people of any skin color, and likely is due to the body's destroying its own cells -- in this case, the cells that make the pigment for the skin.
Although vibration machines can improve fitness, I don't believe that 10 minutes on an exercise machine gives you all the benefits of 4 miles of jogging. Bone density levels show a lot of variation, so a single large increase doesn't always mean a sustained gain. I think it's too early to recommend vibration therapy as a standard treatment for osteoporosis. It may have a role for people who are unable to do other kinds of exercises. *** DEAR DR. ROACH: I have a white patch called vitiligo. My doctor is giving me Protopic, but I do not see much improvement.
Vitiligo often progresses slowly. Tacrolimus (Protopic) is effective in about 90 percent of people treated for two months, according to one study. Steroid creams and ultraviolet light also are used. It may be worthwhile to look for other autoimmune diseases, such as thyroid disease. *** Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible.

OH NO! NOT ANOTHER DEREK JETER COLUMN! Take a walk down Bleecker Street in the West Village, and sooner or later you're bound to come across Carmine Street, but blink and you're probably going to miss it. Going on the assumption that you found this little four-block nirvana, a place that perfectly encapsulates every stereotype you ever heard of, imagined or made up about New York ... and then some. Toward the end of the block, there's a very tiny shop with a very large name: "Unoppressive Non-Imperialist Bargain Books." Once inside, off to your left you will find an array of books related to Bob Dylan. You see, Dylan was kind of a big deal in the Village at one point. He was all positively 4th Street and what have you. One of the larger books on the shelf is entitled, "Oh No! Not Another Book About Bob Dylan!"
Guardia or JFK, and the taxi cabs change shifts at 4 p.m., so standing on the corner with a suitcase between 3:30 and 4:00 is a one-way ticket to a happy hour and a later flight.
There's a joke about rock-music critics from the old school, how they all love to write about Bob Dylan and, failing that, Bruce Springsteen. Whenever they get a chance to write about sports, invariably they write about baseball. And, as one of the new-school sports blogs pointed out recently, old-school sports writers almost universally revere Bruce Springsteen (see: Posnanski, Joe) and write about him whenever they get the chance to change gears.
"Jeter, Jeter, Jeter! Enough already!" says one guy, in a gruff New Yawkah accent.
I'm reminded of this as I watch Derek Jeter play out his last few games. On the corner of Carmine and Leroy, there's a little place the locals go called "Daddy-O." It's a lateafternoon game for the Yankees, a 4:00 start. The locals are easy enough to pick out -- they're the ones who don't have any carry-on luggage. There's no mass transit to La-
"No," he tells me, eyes not leaving the screen. "Henrich. Tommy Henrich."
He is admonished by the lady drinking what appears to be both a lemon zinger tea and a martini. "Whaddya mean, Jeetah, Jeetah, Jeetah? You'll miss him, too!" The guy next to me appears to be a bit of a veteran. He's watching the game with a nostalgic air. I ask him if he remembers Mickey Mantle retiring or Joe Dimaggio.
Jeter wasn't a Dimaggio or Mantle ... he was a Henrich who hit for a higher average and had less power. They even had the same last seasons!" I whip out the smartphone. It's more or less true. Henrich hit .272 with six home runs in 1950, his final season. His career was marked by World Series heroics and clutch hitting. "Yeah, but Henrich didn't get all the parting gifts," I argue, in jest. "And I doubt he ever made out as well off the field, too," he adds. We both nod solemnly, eyes never leaving the TV. "NOW BATTING...NUMBER 2 ..." "Jeter." "Jeetah! "
That gives me pause. Henrich. Forties era. Sure. "Clutch." "That's right! Clutch," he says, exaggerating the pronunciation so it sounds like "kelluhtchah." "'Old Reliable.'
"Cheers." Mark Vasto is a veteran sportswriter who lives in Kansas City. (c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Either one works well, particularly for windows, and is a far better option than covering windows with plastic.
HOME TIP: To make sure a room is being heated efficiently, shift furniture so that it doesn't block furnace vents.
Still, you don't always know whether drafts are getting in or heat is escaping. Before adding weather stripping, consider getting an energy or heat audit. Some electric utilities offer free or low-cost audit kits, or there are contractors who can perform a whole-house audit. Some are even using infrared technologies to pinpoint where heat is exiting the home.

Q: What's the point of adding weather stripping around doors and windows? Today's homes are pretty well built already. -- Jake in Denver
Learning where a problem is developing allows you to better address the issue. For drafty doors and windows, weather stripping is an affordable solution in most cases.
A: It's true that good quality, sturdy doors and windows are available these days, but not all
Types of weather stripping vary: You can choose easy-to-install foam strips that have a glue back-

7 FINANCIAL MOVES BEFORE YEAR END The last quarter of the year is a good time to make financial changes before year end. W-4 deductions: If you've had a change in the number of dependents (birth of a child, for example), you'll need to change the allowances on your W-4 form. Don't delay. Your employer has more than 30 days to get it done. Level of savings: Are you on target for the amount you planned to put into savings this year? There are three months left to make additional deposits to your savings account. Mortgage: Don't wait until the last week of December to send in an additional mortgage payment for 2014. There's too much chance that it will be delayed in the mail or that it won't be processed in time at the mortgage company.
Winter gear: If you haven't purchased winter coats and boots for the family, don't wait much longer, as stock will be gone in many stores. If necessary, put items on layaway to make sure they're held for you. Walmart's layaway started Sept. 12; Burlington Coat Factory's layaway ends Oct. 31. If you can't afford the
With a brief and free consultation over the phone, I can help you decide as to the type of case you have. Call today, I'm only a phone call away to finding a solution to your legal matters.
FSA: If you have a Flexible Spending Account for health expenses, remember that you could lose whatever you don't spend before the end of the year. Your employer might have two options: a 2-1/2-month grace period in the following year to spend the money, or a maximum $500 carryover to the next year. Without either of these, you'll need to spend the money on eligible health expenses or lose it. When you set up your account for 2015, consider the expenses you're likely to have so there is no overage. Holiday money: Are you on track to be able to pay all cash for holiday spending? If not, October and November will give you a
chance to set additional money aside. Vehicle purchase: If you know you'll need a new vehicle soon, this is a good time to start shopping, comparing, reading reviews and looking at price guides -- but not purchasing. The closer to the end of the year (in December), the more deals and incentives will be available as dealers try to close out the year with boosted sales figures. The next months also will give you time to save more toward a down payment, making your monthly payments smaller.

FAUX-LEATHER VASE SHOWS OFF FALL FINDS "The leaves are definitely turning in New Hampshire," friend Judy Barlow reported to me this week in an e-mail, "and my three kids are always the first to point out the beautiful reds and golds in our neighborhood. But to the kids, it's not really an appreciation of nature -- it's more a signal that their favorite holiday is coming (Halloween) and their favorite season (winter) is just around the corner. "We take them for lots of hikes in the woods at this time of year," she wrote. "They collect the most beautiful leaves, and then we iron them between two sheets of wax paper to preserve them. Or they build fairy houses in the woods with leaves and twigs
(dead materials only), and we check back later to see if any 'fairies' have visited." If you are as inspired as I was by Judy's description of fall in New England, turn a new leaf on your family activities this week and enjoy the unparalleled entertainment autumn brings. Get outside with your kids or grandkids, and if you come home with an armful of leaves, arrange them in a snazzy faux-leather vase -- one your kids can create with a recycled jar, masking tape and shoe polish. Here's how to make the vase to show off your fall finds: Save a glass mayonnaise or pasta-sauce jar, or you may
prefer a taller vinegar or salad-dressing bottle for your leaf bouquet. Wash the jar with sudsy water and remove labels. When dry, tear off 1- to 2-inch pieces of plain masking tape and overlap in a random fashion, jagged torn edges and all, to cover the entire outside surface of the bottle. Use a soft cloth to gently rub brown, tan or black shoe polish from a can over the masking tape to create a faux-leather finish.
