• What makes us happy? Psychologists suggest that each person has a happiness “set point,” which is a personal tendency to be very happy, somewhat happy, or not at all happy. About 50% of the explanation for a person’s set point is determined by genetic make-up, which helps to explain why some folks just seem to be naturally happier than others! It also helps explain why long-term levels of happiness appear to be resistant to many significant life events, both good and bad. Lottery winners initially feel “overjoyed” and people who have experienced a negative life event, such as a job loss or death of a loved one, feel “sorrowful,” But most of these individuals eventually settle back to their set point. Research confirms that personal circumstances, such as level of wealth and where we live, account for a measly 10% of happiness.

• Are happier people more successful in their personal and professional lives? It appears so partly because happy individuals’ positive moods motivate them to work enthusiastically toward their goals. They lean toward feeling confident, optimistic, and energetic, they have a

positive perception of themselves, and others find them more likable. Happier folks seem to perform better in job interviews and secure better positions as a result. They also tend to have less absenteeism at work.

• Level of happiness also affects an individual’s health.

Data indicates that happier people have lower levels of hypertension and lower blood pressure. Those who use humor to cope with difficulties have stronger immune systems, and are less likely to get sick. They have fewer doctor visits, use less medication, and are much less likely to experience substance abuse.

• Do you think you’d be happier if you just had more money? Not so, say researchers! Income actually has a weak effect on levels of happiness. In the workplace, employees seem to gain more satisfaction from their rank, position, and sense of achievement than they do from their pay.

Surprisingly, spending money on others – as little as $5 a day – creates a boost in happiness levels.

• Wondering what you can do to increase your happiness level? Since 40% of happiness is subject to self-control, a person’s deliberate choices and intentional activities can amp up cheerfulness and contentment. High-quality social relationships contribute to life satisfaction, and research indicates that married people are generally happier than single ones. Socializing with cheerful people increases the likelihood of being happier.

• Think happy thoughts! The average woman has 60,000 thoughts a day – can you believe that 48,000 of them are negative? Avoiding “negative self-talk” can improve attitude and enhance happiness. Rather than saying, “I’m not good at this,” try, “What can I do to get better at this?”

Substitute “That’s too difficult,” with “I’m going to give it a try.”

• Replacing negative thoughts with positive ones allows you to focus on all that is good in life. Keeping a journal listing three things that went well each day produces satisfaction and contentment as well.

www.DonAlbertoRistorante.com • Having an “attitude of gratitude” is one of the best ways to possess emotional well-being. Counting your blessings causes you to consider all that is valuable in your life.

Gratitude during the bad times actually helps you cope with and adjust to adversity, helping you bounce back to that happiness set point. Taking stock of all you have and recalling contributions others have made for you cause you to be more likely to help others and be less materialistic and envious of others, as well as alleviating bitterness.

• You are what you eat!

Did you know that a diet low in fiber has been linked to depression? Likewise, a Vitamin B-12 deficiency can produce irritability and depression. Residents of countries who eat the most fish possess the lowest rates of depression. A wide variety of whole foods provides brainenhancing nutrients, causing your mind to be sharper and more energized. Too much sugar can contribute to shrinkage in the areas of the brain involved in regulating your moods.

• Letting go of offenses, anger, and resentment is a sure-fire way to be happier and healthier. Brooding and obsessing over wrongs done to you and refusing to forgive takes its toll on your happiness levels as well as your physical health.

• Don’t worry, be happy! Worriers experience muscle tension, agitation, irritability, sleep problems, difficulty with concentration, and an inability to relax. They spend much of their time trying to predict the future, and worrying about all that could go wrong. Much of the problem involves trying to solve issues that are not solvable. As Mark Twain said, “I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.”

FAMOUS LANDMARKS OF THE WORLD:

kindness. Research has established that these acts induce positive thoughts and can alleviate negative feelings.

It seems that individuals get a strong sense that they’re doing something that matters, and subsequently, mood is enhanced.

At the western end of Paris’ Champs-Elysees on the right bank of the Seine, the regal Arc de Triomphe stands guard over the city. Here are the highlights about this monument, the Arch of Victory, the brainstorm of Napoleon Bonaparte.

ARC DE TRIOMPHE

• What about age? Studies have determined that people in their mid- to late-50s are happier, worry less, and have less stress than young adults in their 20s. Part of that finding may be that older people have learned how to control their emotions over the years.

• Following his most important victory of the Napoleonic Wars, Bonaparte ordered the construction of the Arch in 1805. He intended it as a commemoration to all French soldiers who had fought during the wars, and it was his plan that his soldiers would march through the arch upon their return home. However, it took two years just to lay the foundations, and when Napoleon entered the city in 1810, he came from a different direction.

• Positive mindsets can be elevated by visualizing your “best possible self.” This involves imagining success at your life goals, realization of your life dreams, and achievement of your best potential, followed up with using this to guide your current decisions.

• When the architect of the monument died in 1811, the work was taken over by another for a few years. However, when Napoleon lost power, construction was halted and did not resume until 1833. The Arch was not completed until 1836. Meanwhile, Napoleon died in exile on the island of St. Helena in 1821 and was buried there. In 1840, King Louis Philippe I arranged for Napoleon’s remains to be returned to France and at long last, Napoleon entered Paris through the Arc de Triomphe.

• Practice optimism! Happy folks look at the bright side of each negative situation and find the silver lining in every black cloud.

• Unhappy people watch 30% more TV. Happier ones are out socializing, exercising, reading, volunteering, or attending religious services. And along that line, studies show that spiritual and religious people are happier and healthier than others.

• Regular vigorous exercise reduces stress and contributes to great levels of fulfillment. Joggers are 70% less likely to have a high level of stress and dissatisfaction with life. Just 17 to 34 minutes per day produces a significant difference.

Need more good news? Exercise also contributes to lasting cognitive functioning in old age.

• The Arch sits at the center of 12 main avenues which radiate outward. It reaches 162 feet (49.5 meters) to the sky and is 72 feet (22 meters) deep. Its base features four groups of elaborate sculptures, the most famous of which is “La Marseillaise,” featuring the woman Marianne, the national emblem of France representative of Liberty and Reason.

Six other reliefs are sculpted on the facades of the Arch depicting important battles of the French Revolution and Napoleonic era. On the inside of the Arch, a list of French victories is engraved, as well as the names of the military leaders of those battles. The names that are underlined represent those who were killed in action.

Still more sculptures representing characters of Roman mythology decorate the Arch.

• Beneath the vault of the Arch lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, interred there on Armistice Day (November 11) of 1920, to commemorate the signing of the armistice between France and Germany in 1918. Prior to the interment, the Arch was the site of troops parading after military victories, as well as the annual Bastille Day military parade. However, as a sign of respect, parade traffic now marches to the Arch, but then turns to go around its side. A ceremony is held there every November 11.

• The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier contains an eternal flame that burns in memory of all the unidentified dead. When President John F. Kennedy and wife Jacqueline visited Paris in 1961, they paid their respects at the Tomb. After JFK’s assassination two years later, Mrs. Kennedy recalled the eternal flame and asked that one be placed at her husband’s grave at Arlington National Cemetery.

• If you want to reach the top, you can either climb 284 steps, or ride an elevator to the mid-point and climb 64 steps.

• Paris’ Arc de Triomphe held the honor of largest triumphal arch in existence from 1836 until 1982. It was displaced by the Arch of Triumph built in Pyongyang in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

• Following 1919’s victory parade celebrating the end of World War I, French aviator Charles Godefroy flew his biplane through the Arch, a feat captured on a newsreel.

• On Nov. 27, 1978, former Board of Supervisors member Dan White murders Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk at City Hall in San Francisco.

• On Dec. 1, 1830, French novelist Victor Hugo is due to turn in a draft of his book “Notre Dame de Paris” (“The Hunchback of Notre Dame”). Despite his contract, he instead wrote two plays, “Marion de Lorme” and “Hernani,” and the book is not published until 1831.

• On Nov. 26, 1862, Oxford mathematician Charles Lutwidge Dodgson sends a handwritten manuscript called “Alice’s Adventures Under Ground” to 10-year-old Alice Liddell. Dodgson made up the story one day on a picnic, and Alice insisted he write it down. He published it under his nom de plume, Lewis Carroll, in 1865.

• On Nov. 28, 1914, the New York Stock Exchange reopens for bond trading after nearly four months, the longest stoppage in the exchange’s history. The outbreak of World War I in Europe forced the NYSE to shut its doors on July 31, 1914.

• On Dec. 2, 1942, Enrico Fermi, Italian-born Nobel Prizewinning physicist, directs and controls the first nuclear chain reaction. He created a jury-rigged laboratory under the bleachers in Stagg Field at the University of Chicago.

• On Nov. 30, 1954, the first modern instance of a meteorite striking a human being occurs at Sylacauga, Ala., when an 8 1/2 pound meteorite crashes through the roof of a house and into the living room, bounces off a radio, and strikes a woman on the hip. The victim suffered a nasty bruise.

• On Nov. 29, 1963, one week after President John F. Kennedy was fatally shot while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, President Lyndon Johnson establishes a special commission to investigate the assassination.

• Eleven years later, at age 38, using $40 borrowed from a friend, Singer presented his sewing machine, the first one practical for home use, which became the model for all future machines. It incorporated a needle that moved up and down rather than side to side as previous models did, resulting in a great reduction in needle breakage. He also replaced the arm crank with a foot pedal, and later added a carrying case.

His innovations resulted in a machine that could produce 900 stitches per minute.

More than 1.5 Million Pounds of Arsenic-Laden Drugs Sold to Meat Producers

THAT’S SEW GREAT!

At least 706,530 kilograms (more than 1.5 million pounds) of arsenic-containing drugs were sold for use in animal products in 2010, according to analysis of FDA documents by the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future. Arsenicbased drugs are fed to animals to control intestinal parasites, promote animal growth, and to make the meat products look more appealing to consumers. Consumption of arsenic from animals is toxic to human health, and arsenic from animals’ waste is toxic to the environment.

“Stitch your stress away” seems like sound advice. How much do you know about the machine that allows you the privilege? Read along and see!

Recent Reports about Contaminants in Rice

• Although the word “Singer” is synonymous with sewing machine, Singer’s machine was far from the first one on the market. European inventors were devising mechanical sewing machines as early as the mid-1700s, with most designed for making shoes. In the United States, Elias Howe, Jr. patented his first sewing machine in 1846, one with a lockstitch mechanism, capable of sewing 250 stitches per minute. His invention moved the world toward mass production of clothing, lowering the cost of clothes and making it more readily available.

The November 2012 issue of Consumer Reports reported that traces of arsenic were found in a number of rice products. The magazine’s researchers tested 223 samples of rice and rice products from various companies and origins.1 Here is what consumers should know.

• Isaac Merritt Singer patented his first machine in 1851, incorporating Howe’s lockstitch mechanism into his machine. Howe sued Singer for patent infringement and won the suit, and Singer was ordered to pay royalties to Howe, making Howe a very wealthy man.

• The Singer Company introduced the world’s first computer-controlled sewing machine, the Touchtronic, in 1978.

The consequences of using arsenic-containing pesticides and medications for poultry production are tainted soil and ground water, which apparently can lead to contaminated rice.

• Isaac Singer retired 14 years after he invented the sewing machine and moved to England, where he built a magnificent 115-room mansion, complete with a separate theater and riding stables.

• Singer unveiled his improved model at the 1855 World’s Fair in Paris, earning first prize. Before long, there were several Singer factories in New York. Perhaps Singer’s most important contribution was his marketing technique. With the goal of putting a machine in every American home, Singer demonstrated his machine at numerous country fairs and other gatherings, using his

He hired traveling salesmen, but most importantly, introduced an installment payment plan for the $99 machine, enabling those with lower incomes to purchase the machine, and he also included a trade-in allowance in his shrewd marketing plan. Due to the expense, women frequently pooled their money and purchased one machine jointly, shared by all.

Where Does Arsenic Come From?

Arsenic is a natural element used for an array of commercial purposes. Until recently, arsenic compounds were commonly added to chicken feed to limit intestinal parasites and promote growth. It also changes the color of poultry products making them more appealing to the consumer. Every year about 2 million pounds of arseniccontaining pesticides have been fed to chickens, which end up not only in chicken products but in our soil and water, as well. This occurs because arsenic-laden chicken manure is actually fed to other livestock and heavily used as a fertilizer.2 Recently, the poultry industry has aimed to eliminate the use of arsenic, although the degree of compliance is not yet clear.

• Isaac Singer lived on his own from the age of 11. He had a love of the theater and joined a troupe of traveling stage performers and earned his living as an actor for more than 20 years. When ticket sales were slow, he worked as a machinist in his brother’s shop. In 1839, he obtained his first patent, one for a machine that drilled rock, which he sold to a canal Arsenic-containing pesticides have also commonly been building company for $2,000. With a financial cushion in used in the United States, despite the fact that they are no longer used in Europe.3

It’s worth noting that levels of arsenic in chicken are comparable to some of the rice products tested. Studies show that those who ate a generous serving of chicken (about three medium-sized breasts) had arsenic levels of more than 47 micrograms,4 compared with Consumer Reports’ findings that one serving of Rice Krispies (1 cup) had less than 3 micrograms.

What Can Consumers Do? 1. Based on Consumer Report’s investigation, it seems organic and foreign-grown rice (e.g., Thailand and India) is less contaminated than nonorganic or U.S.-grown rice.

Consumers can purchase these types of rice to lower exposure.

2. Rinse your rice and cook it with extra water. Cooking rice and draining the excess water can remove a significant amount of arsenic.

Your doctor can give you a cortisone injection into the problem area, and that often reduces the swelling quickly.

DONOHUE: This past summer, I got the shock of my life at a family get-together. My cousin, whom I hadn’t seen in 10 years, has bulging eyes. Her mother - my aunt -- told me it was due to a thyroid problem. I’d never heard of a thyroid problem affecting the eyes. Does it? -- G.D.

Trigger Finger Not a Cowboy Disorder DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Three or four months ago, the ring finger on my right hand started making popping noises when I bent it. Now it’s still doing that, and it catches in a bent position from time to time. I work as a carpenter, and I can’t afford to take time off. What do you think this is? -- R.B. ANSWER: My guess is trigger finger. The tendons that bend the fingers travel from the forearm into the palm and then onto each finger and the thumb. On their way to the fingers, a sheath of tough tissue encircles them.

Repetitive movements of the fingers irritate the protective tendon sheaths, and they swell. The swelling squeezes the tendon, and the popping noise you hear is the tendon freeing itself from its swollen sheath. That snapping noise sounds like the noise heard when cocking a gun’s trigger.

As time goes by, the finger might become locked for some time in the bent position.

You don’t want to hear this, but rest is essential to permit the tendon to move smoothly. If you must work, padded gloves afford some protection for the finger. Gripping a tool like a hammer is particularly hard on the tendon and its sheath. Tools with a larger-than-normal handle are less of a problem. The best protection is wearing a metal splint so that the finger can’t move.

ANSWER: It can. An overactive thyroid gland can lead to deposits of material in the eye sockets, which causes the eyes to protrude. There are treatments for this complication of hyperthyroidism. I’m sure this cousin is under the care of a thyroid specialist and an ophthalmologist.

The booklet on thyroid disorders explains the many conditions arising from a malfunctioning gland. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 401W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order (no cash) for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Please allow four weeks for delivery.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Can hair grow on the lips if a person shaves very close to the upper and lower lips?

Some informed individuals say no. -- L.G. ANSWER: Never in my life have I seen hair on people’s lips. Lips have no hair follicles. You even could shave the lips if you felt so inclined (but please don’t try this), and hair would not grow on them. If you have evidence to the contrary, let me know.

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE? Acupuncture is an ancient healing system. Acupuncture originated with the discovery that specific areas of the skin were directly correlated to the organs of the body. In time, the connection between the skin and the organs became further understood and more exact ways of stimulation were formulated. It is a technique used to promote the body’s natural healing. In order for this to occur, needles, heat, or electrical stimulation are used on certain acupuncture points.

First the Doctor will meet with you to determine your particular needs. He/she will review your medical history and discuss what you want to achieve with your treatment. Treatment frequently is determined on an individual basis, as each patient has different needs. The doctor will also review a list of any medications, vitamins, or herbal supplements you are currently taking. During the treatment, tiny, hairthin needles are placed on areas of the body to balance your vital energy and correct all body systems.

Our Doctors are Board Certified Doctors of Oriental Medicine. Acupuncturists with over 20 years of experience. Specialists in avoiding surgery and providing back pain relief by getting to the root of medical problems and returning balance to the body with acupuncture, massage, vibronic energy and more.

HOLLYWOOD -- Alfred Hitchcock was the master of suspense and the macabre, and earned his fame through classic films such as “Rear Window” (1954), “The Man Who Knew Too Much” (1956) and “Vertigo” (1958), all starring James Stewart; “North By Northwest” with Cary Grant (1959), “Psycho” with Anthony Perkins (1960) and “The Birds” with Rod Taylor (1963), to name just a few.

In the recent HBO film “The Girl,” Tippi Hedren (played

by Sienna Miller) reveals how Hitchcock (played by Toby Jones) attempted to blackmail her for sexual favors.

Jeremy Renner, Oscar nominated for “The Hurt Locker” and “The Town,” who took over the “Bourne” legacy from Matt Damon, has replaced Steve Carell in “Imagine.”

It’s a dramedy that stars Julianne Moore and Al Pacino, who plays a 60-something Springsteen-type rocker who discovers an unopened letter written to him by John Lennon when he was 19. That inspires him to find the son he’s never met (Renner). Lucky for us, Pacino can play anyone, even Bruce Springsteen.

Vince Vaughn, who normally does comedies like “Lay the Favorite” with Bruce Willis and Catherine Zeta-Jones, and the upcoming reteaming with Owen Wilson in “Internship” out June 7, will next do “Triple Time,” an action-thriller being directed by his “Couple’s Retreat” director Peter Billingsley. Remember the little boy in the perennial holiday movie “A Christmas Story”? That little boy, 12 years old then, is now 40 and the director of “Triple Time.”

When you play in an iconic film like “A Christmas Story” it becomes a part of your life forever. For several years he’s been trying to exec produce a musical adaption of it.

So when you watch that film again this year, know that the little boy with glasses who longs for a Red Ryder BB Gun can demand Vince Vaughn to move in “Triple Time” ... and he’ll do it!

Now, Fox Searchlight has pushed up the release date for its “Hitchcock” biopic, due out Nov. 23. The film, which stars Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins as Hitchcock, premiered at the American Film Institute Festival, is sure to figure heavily in the Oscar race. Oscar-winner Helen Mirren (“The Queen”) plays his wife, and Scarlett Johansson and newlywed Jessica Biel co-star. It tells the love story between Hitchcock and his wife during the filming of “Psycho.”

He’d always had a penchant for beautiful blondes, as demonstrated by the females in his films: Joan Fontaine (“Rebecca”), Ingrid Bergman (“Spellbound”), Grace Kelly

of the house where he’s less likely to find shoes, toys and other objects. In that gated-off area, remove kids’ toys, clothing, stuffed animals and other chewable objects.

Lift potted plants out of his reach (the leaves of many houseplants are poisonous to pets).

Make sure Elwood has access to his pet bed and to appropriate chew toys, and check on him frequently.

Puppies should not be left alone for long periods of time, for many reasons.

Puppy Thinks Shoes Are Chew Toys DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Help! Our new puppy, “Elwood,” is getting into everything, chewing up my kids’ shoes and tearing the stuffing out of stuffed animals. Any advice on getting him to stop? -- Jessica G., via email DEAR JESSICA: Getting a puppy to completely stop exploring and chewing is a job that requires time and patience. You also need to reconfigure your house to keep Elwood safe. If he ingests a shard of plastic or some other indigestible item, a poisonous plant or medicines from lower bathroom cabinets, he could be in serious danger.

First, pet proof the house. Invest in toddler safety gates (if you don’t already have some) to limit Elwood to parts

Next, get that basic obedience training regime going. Grab a book or three on dog training, all of which will cover important basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” “come” and “heel.” Spend at least 30 minutes every day working with Elwood, in addition to twice-daily walks and generous amounts of playtime.

Chewing behavior is very common in puppies, but tends to diminish as they mature. If he continues to destroy everything in sight, talk to his veterinarian or try a group dog-training class. Anxiety or other issues can be at the root of long-term chewing problems.

Add Taste of India to Roasted Potatoes I enjoy tossing a variety of spices in family meals, but I clearly hadn’t used mustard seeds in a while -- make that a long while. While cleaning out my spice drawer, I discovered a dented can wedged in back with a 1985 expiration date stamped on the bottom. It might be a good year for a fine wine, but mustard seeds?

The experience had a positive outcome. I dashed off to my neighborhood natural-foods store to pick up fresh spices in bulk (in small quantities) for fall and holiday cooking.

While there, I was inspired to take in that evening’s cooking class, “Global Flavor Gone Local,” with chef Kate Moore.

1 tablespoon grated or minced fresh ginger 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 teaspoon mustard seeds 1 teaspoon coriander seeds 1 teaspoon cumin seeds Salt to taste 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 2. Scrub, dry and cut the potatoes into eighths and place in a bowl.

Full of tips and tricks, Kate encouraged us to be spontaneous when cooking at home. With a well-stocked pantry of spices, it’s easy to change the flavor profile of a dish. Like Italian? Use basil, parsley and garlic. Latin? Try cumin, coriander and chipotle. “With a willingness to experiment, kitchen miracles can happen,” she said.

Here’s my own take on Kate’s techniques for preparing Indian-flavored roasted potatoes. My family always clamors for more of these spiced up spuds when served as a side with roasted chicken, pork or grilled fish.

Indian-Spiced Roasted Potatoes 6 medium, red or white skin potatoes 2 tablespoons minced garlic

3. Heat a saute pan with olive oil over medium heat and toss in a “tester” pinch of ginger. When the ginger starts to sizzle, toss in the remaining ginger, the garlic and whole spices. Cook until fragrant and spices are lightly toasted, about 1-2 minutes.

4. Spoon the Indian-flavored oil and ingredients into the bowl of potatoes. Add salt and toss until all sides of the potatoes are well-coated.

5. Spoon potatoes on a baking sheet and spread out onto one layer. Roast for 30 minutes, or until tender. Flip once to ensure even cooking.

6. Remove from oven and serve. Serves 6.

• In 1976, John Moore, a California man, had his spleen removed at the UCLA Medical Center in order to treat his cancer. The operation was successful -- in more ways than anyone anticipated. It seems that the doctors, upon studying the removed organ, found certain cells that had unique cancer-fighting properties. The discovery led to a new -- and profitable -- treatment. When Moore found out that his spleen had led to this discovery, he sued the Regents of the University of California for a share of the profits. In 1990, 14 years after his cancer was cured, he lost his court case.

• It was American bridge expert Phillip Alder who made the following sage observation: “We are born with talents, but we acquire skills.â€? • The inventor of Life Savers was Clarence Crane (incidentally, he was also the father of poet Hart Crane). In 1913, a year after coming up with the recipe for the candy, Crane sold the patent for his sweet treat for $2,900. Seems like a paltry recompense for creating a pop culture icon that is still going strong after 100 years. • Do you suffer from arachibutyrophobia? If so, you probably refuse to eat PB&J sandwiches, for fear that the peanut butter will stick to the roof of your mouth. • There are 120 drops of water in a single teaspoon.

replacing all your food. If you lose power now and then, but only for a short time, a generator might not be cost effective -- unless you need it for heat.

Outdoor grill with propane tank: When the power goes out, grills are handy not only to cook meat before it goes bad, but to heat pots of water for tea, coffee, instant oatmeal and other prepared foods like soup or macaroni and cheese. One benefit of propane is that you can instantly turn it off and not have wood or briquettes still hot if the wind blows.

A word about candles: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. For safety, use flashlights instead.

Then the cashbox is stolen at gunpoint and Spiderman lets the burglar go, because it’s not his problem, right? He’s counting the money.

Well, later that day, Spiderman’s uncle is murdered ... shot in the streets. An enraged Spidey finds the murderer, and what do you know? It was the burglar from earlier, yada yada yada, and the takeaway of the story being, kids bitten by radioactive spiders should not be greedy and use their powers for prizefighting or their uncle will get shot. (At least that’s how I explained it.)

The Terrible Turk vs. Goofy There’s only so much “Mickey Mouse Funhouse” a father can take. Desperate, I download a Spiderman story to the iPad for my 3-year-old son, an auto-turning storybook narrated by none other than Stan Lee. But as I listened, the story arc went in a way I wasn’t expecting from a child’s book. You know ... at that age, they kind of gloss over the stuff about inner-city murders.

In this story, Spiderman decides to use his new powers for greed. His first stop is the local coliseum, where he takes on a wrestler offering anyone $100 if they can last 15 minutes in the ring. Spiderman easily wins the fight, goes to collect his earnings and demands to be paid in cash.

The prizefighting thing ... did people actually do that?

So I went to the history books and came face to face with a 300-pound mustachioed wrestler named Youssof, “The Terrible Turk.” And something told me Stan Lee was familiar with the man, too.

The Terrible Turk barnstormed America during the late 19th century. Unlike the “productions” we get to see now, in Youssof’s day, wrestling was about two guys going into a ring and ripping the other guy apart, literally. Youssof was a national sensation. He brought a carnival atmosphere to town with him and, yes ... if you had the guts, you could win $100 ($1,000 at today’s inflation) if you could last 15 minutes in the ring with him. Legend has it that he never

the wood stack, on all three sides. (Use newspaper only -- avoid magazines or color inserts.)

By Samantha Mazzotta

Fireplace Basics Q: This winter will be the first time we will use our new fireplace. Can you give us some advice on safely lighting a fire? -- Charlie L., Oviedo, Fla. A: Sure can! Your request comes at the perfect time, as we move into November and cold weather sets in for most of the country.

Here are step-by-step instructions for lighting a fire safely and successfully. If you own a gas-lit fireplace, skip Steps 3 and 5.

1. Open the damper and visually inspect the firebox and flue to ensure that they are clear.

2. Stack firewood in the center of the fireplace, being careful not to place the logs too close together. The wood stack should take up no more than one-third of the space in the fireplace.

3. Place loosely rolled newspaper in the gaps created by

4. Preheat the flue. Carefully light a rolled piece of newspaper and hold the paper about 2 inches inside the flue. Move the paper in slow circles for 10 to 30 seconds.

This will encourage warm air to flow up and out the chimney.

5. Light the newspaper between the logs, on all three sides. A goodsize flame should leap up shortly, but will die down as the last of the paper burns. Look for smaller flames flickering along the bottom of the logs; this shows that the wood has caught, and that a nice, smallto medium-size fire will build in a few minutes.

6. Add wood to the fire one piece at a time. To maintain the fire’s size, add one new log for each log that burns away.

To increase its size, add one log every five minutes or so to a steady fire, and note the amount of flames and heat after each addition.

The most complicated part of fire-building, for new users,

lost.

Youssof was greedy. He demanded to be paid in gold coins before every match. He would put the coins in a money belt around his waist, concealed by one of those sarongtype belts, and go wrestle.

When he hit $10,000 in coins, he announced his retirement and sailed for home ... until a storm hit and the order came to abandon ship. Youssof reached the deck as the ship began to keel over, and was out of range of the lifeboats ... he’d have to swim.

Only he didn’t have a life preserver around his waist ... he had a money belt filled with gold coins! In seconds, he was dragged under to his death.

The takeaway being to always use traveler’s checques and wear a life preserver ... at least that’s what I told my kid as we both sat down to watch Goofy learn to count gold coins in order to get past the large, mustachioed bad guy Pete.

The story never ends.

is finding the right amount of kindling to get a steady fire going. Dry twigs and wood chips can be added to newspaper; leaves don’t burn as well and are better left on the mulch pile.

Use a combination of woods for the best results: oak burns slowly and cleanly, while pine ignites more easily and burns hotter, but is consumed quickly.

Enjoy your new fireplace, with a dose of common sense: Don’t burn trash in it, keep the gate closed and have the fireplace and chimney cleaned once a year.

HOME TIP: Leave about 1 inch of fine ash in the bottom of the fireplace. The ash insulates the firebox and helps the fireplace heat more efficiently.

“Inventing Elsa Maxwell: How an Irrepressible Nobody Conquered High Society, Hollywood, the Press and the World”

by Sam Staggs (St. Martin’s Press, $29.99) Reviewed by Larry Cox

Author Sam Staggs documents the unlikely story of a woman who professed that her fame was “not bad for a short, fat homely piano player from Keokuk, Iowa, with no money or background, who decided to become a legend, and did just that.”

Elsa Maxwell was short, overweight and had the face of a bulldog. Think J. Edgar Hoover in drag, and you get the idea.

All I can add is ... only in America.

Born in 1881 in Keokuk, Iowa, as a girl she moved with her family to San Francisco. One day while looking out the front window of her home, she saw something that would literally redefine her life. Neighbors were preparing an elaborate wedding, an event her parents were not invited to attend. As Elsa watched the activity, she vowed that someday she would host the most extraordinary parties in the world, inviting whom she pleased, regardless of their wealth and stature -- and that is exactly what she did.

When the facts of her life didn’t measure up, she chose narratives that did. Elsa often claimed that she had been born in a box at the Keokuk Opera House during a performance of “Mignon,” but in truth she entered the world in a bedroom at the home of her maternal grandparents. Even the year of her birth is confusing, since early in her life she shaved two years off her age.

Elsa was an ambitious, talented woman. She found work as a singer, actress, author, gossip columnist and songwriter, but it was her talent as a professional hostess for royalty and high society where she established an international
