Skull crusher move puts emphasis on your triceps
HEALTH“If You Feel Too Much, Expanded Edition: Thoughts on Things Found
and Lost and Hoped For” by Jamie Tworkowski — From personal
stories of struggling on days most people celebrate to words
of strength and encouragement in moments of loss, the
essays in this book invite readers to believe that it’s OK to
admit to pain and OK to ask for help. — TarcherPerigee

Little known facts
about BPA plastics
Bisphenol A, also known
as BPA, is primarily used
to make polycarbonate
plastic, which is a clear,
highly shatter-resistant
material used in con-
sumer products you may
use every day. You may
have heard of it before
— it gets covered in the
news from time-to-time,
with articles question-
ing its safety. Before you
consider avoiding BPA
based on news headlines,
here are some take-aways
about BPA:
BPA has been safely used
and studied for decades. The
safety of BPA has been
extensively studied by
scientists, and BPA is one
of the most thoroughly
tested chemicals today.
The long safety track
record for polycarbonate
and epoxy products, com-
bined with the extensive
scientific data on BPA,
provides assurance that
products made from
polycarbonate and epoxy
resins continue to be safe
for use.
A “BPA-free” product is
not safer. Since BPA is an
essential ingredient in
polycarbonate plastic and
epoxy resins, it would not
be possible to make these
materials without BPA.
In light of the long safety
track record of BPA and
the high performance of
these materials, it would
be quite a challenge to
find alternatives that are
safer and can provide the
same high performance.
Keep yourself informed
and get more of the facts
about BPA by visiting

Moderate drinking
may reduce frailty
Drinking moderate
amounts of alcohol could
reduce frailty and other
age-related conditions
for seniors. According
to Dr. Luigi Ferrucci of
the National Institute on
Aging, moderate alcohol
consumption is benefi-
cial because it reduces
inflammation. The study
also found that those who
consumed 5-14.9 grams
of alcohol daily (a small
glass of wine or one bottle
of beer) had a lower risk
of cardiovascular disease
as well.

Don’t ignore your
kids’ sports pains
With the
fall sports
seasons in
full swing,
kids are
bound
to get some
bumps and bruises along
the way. But it’s important
to treat all and any inju-
ries so that they don’t get
worse as the season pro-
gresses. Even if an injury
or pain seems minor
— such as a sore muscle
— be sure to ice the injury
and keep kids out of
activities for a day or two.
If the pain persists, it’s
time to take your child to
a doctor who specializes
in pain medicine.

Every muscle in
our body has its
own function and
importance, even the ones
we can’t see.
Over the years, I’ve
noticed there is more
emphasis on the frontal
view of our body. With the
exception of our booty,
the chest, biceps, abs and
quads are all on the front.
Today’s move is a skull
crusher triceps press. The
main focus is your triceps,
the back of the arm. And
trust me, this move isn’t as
scary as it sounds.
You will need a bench or
flat surface and a weighted
bar for this exercise. Begin
this move by lying flat on
your back, and placing
your hands in a close grip
on your bar.
Extend the bar straight
up over your chest area
and focus on pointing
the elbows toward your
feet.Pressing your back into
the bench, engaging the
core, and rolling your
shoulders back and down
(into the bench), you are
ready to move.
Start this “skull
crusher” by bending in the
elbows and lowering the
bar toward your forehead,
hence the name.
Keeping the load in the
tricep muscles, guide
the bar as low as possible
and maintain a narrow
distance in between the
arms. Once you reach your
lowest point, return to the
top of the move.
Keep this move con-
trolled and on a slower
count for safety and
accuracy.Shoot for at least eight
to 10 of these extensions
per set, for three to five
sets.Keep in mind anytime
the arms start to flare, you
are losing the focus in the
triceps. Either readjust or
lower your weight.
This exercise is great
by itself or added into a
chest/triceps combined
session.And don’t forget about
those muscles in the back
... they need just as much
attention.

KIDS’ HEALTH
By Zhai Yun Tan
Kaiser Health News
E ight years ago, Jeff Ammon,
now 55, began noticing a
feeling of pressure in his
ears every day after work.
Over the next months, when his
symptoms progressed into a slight
loss of hearing and sensitivity to
noise, he became worried. Ammon,
a construction worker for 32 years,
eventually started wearing ear pro-
tection hoping this would address
these complaints — but it was too
late.From that point on, sounds rang-
ing from the hum of a lawnmower to
normal tones of conversation caused
a piercing, jabbing pain in his inner
ear. He stopped working in 2011,
when the pain became unbearable.
He also hears ringing in his ears and
experiences dizziness, both side
effects of the auditory damage.
“It’s debilitating … completely,”
he said.Ammon spent almost all of his
working life surrounded by the loud
noises of jackhammers, saws and
air compressors. Now he avoids
going outdoors, choosing instead to
stay in his soundproof basement in
Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and com-
municate with his doctor mostly
through an online patient portal.
“The medication to address pain
has not been very successful at all.
… I’m also on some medication for
stress, anxiety and depression,”
he said. “It has isolated me from
society.”Ammon is not alone in suffering
from workplace-related hear-
ing loss. In fact, according to the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, it is the most common
work-related injury with approxi-
mately 22 million workers exposed
annually to hazardous levels of
occupational noise. Workers in the
mining sector, followed by those in
construction and manufacturing,
are most likely to suffer from hear-
ing impairment. An estimated $242
million is spent on workers’ com-
pensation annually for hearing loss
disability, according to the Depart-
ment of Labor.
In an effort to reduce these
numbers, the Labor Department
launched a challenge earlier this
summer called “Hear and Now,”
in which it is soliciting pitches for
ideas and technology to better alert
workers of hazardous noise levels.
But critics say that while these
efforts might help, technology to
reduce hearing injuries already
exists. They contend that the maxi-
mum level of noise exposure allowed
before employers are required to
provide sound-protection equip-
ment is too low, and the regulations
developed by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administra-
tion are outdated. For example,
those regulations use sound level
limits that don’t factor in the noise
exposures that occur beyond the
workplace — at restaurants, con-
certs and sporting venues, for
instance — that can add to workers’
cumulative risks of harm.
According to OSHA officials,
the agency will issue a request for
information later this year about
current regulations at construction
sites to figure out if more stringent
protections are needed and how
companies are complying. (The
construction industry has often
been held to separate noise-related
rules and requirements than those
in place for other industries.) The
review may lead to an update to
these rules, most of which date back
to the 1970s.
Employers may also have to
shoulder the responsibility of instill-
ing more awareness and education
among their workers. For example,
workers sometimes choose not to
wear hearing protection at work
sites because they are not aware of
their risks.Mark Cullen, a professor at
Stanford University who explores
workplace hazards, found in a study
that the employees who suffer
most from hearing loss were those
who were working in jobs involv-
ing moderate noise levels instead of
high-noise environments.
“At very high noise exposures,
people very faithfully wear hearing
protection and at low noise situa-
tions, people don’t,” he said.
Cullen said employers could build
noise barriers or eliminate noisy
equipment, but old factories often
choose to just offer hearing protec-
tion gears.“But the problem with hearing
protections is it is way too easy,
unsupervised, to take it off,” he
said. “What would really make a dif-
ference is to train employers.”
He said there is also existing
technology that will measure noise
exposure in real time in each work-
er’s hearing protection gear, with
lights that will flash when the level
becomes hazardous. The data can
be downloaded each day to monitor
daily exposures.
Theresa Schulz, hearing conser-
vation manager at Honeywell Safety
Products, said many companies,
including hers, already have such
products. While she sees more large
employers expressing interest in
these technologies, the cost might
be a deterrent for others.
“But when you think about it …
the cost of having these electronics
to protect the workers is nothing
compared to the damage after that,”
she said.Meanwhile, the CDC, as part
of its Buy Quiet campaign has an
online database of power tools with
information about sound levels of
different tools to encourage busi-
nesses to invest in quieter tools and
machinery.

DID YOU KNOW?
3 THINGS WE LEARNED
FROM DARLINGTON
Richard Petty was obviously dominant at a lot of
tracks, given his 200 career victories, but was espe-
cially strong at Richmond’s old half-mile Fairgrounds
Raceway. Between 1967-75, in a 17-race span at
Richmond, the King won 12 times. That includes a
seven-race winning streak between 1970-73.
WINNER: Chase Elliott
REST OF TOP 5:
Jimmie Johnson, Brad
Keselowski, Kurt
Busch, Denny Hamlin
FIRST ONE OUT: David
Ragan
DARK HORSE: Kasey
Kahne
DON’T BE SURPRISED
IF: The rookie Elliott
scores his first vic-
tory at the .75-mile
oval.
Give me a long-shot to win this
week and make the Chase.
GODSPEAK: Kasey Kahne has
been there and done that. He
can do it again.
KEN’S CALL: Ricky Stenhouse.
Is that a long enough shot for
you? Put a percentage on Junior being
in the car when 2017 opens.
GODSPEAK: He will be all
healed up and back in his car
for Speedweeks.
KEN’S CALL: I’m hoping 100,
but I’m gonna go very con-
servative and say 75 percent.
And a percentage on Jimmie
Johnson getting that seventh
title this year.
GODSPEAK: There’s some
possum being played here.
I’m taking my estimation up
to 30 percent.
KEN’S CALL: Five percent, at
best. At this stage, this is
more than just a slump.

What’s the
ticking I hear?
What, you no
longer recognize
the sound of Kevin
Harvick on the cusp
of detonation? I
guess it’s been a
while. Fatherhood
and a 40th birth-
day can soften the
edges. But Harvick
is angry with his pit
crew again. The over-the-wall gang likely
cost him a win at Darlington, taking the
throwback theme too far and tossing in
some 1980s-era pit-stop times.
Did he send a message?
Gee, you think? How about this post-
race candy-gram: “I’m over being a
cheerleader. Those guys get paid a lot
of money to perform on pit road, and
cheerleading hasn’t really been working.
You’ve got to get after it on pit road and
do your job.” Not the kind of situation
you want on the eve of the Chase.
How ’bout the truck boys?
For the second time in just over two
months, a post-race scrum in the Truck
Series has made highlight reels. This
time it was Cole Custer with a flying
tackle of John Hunter Nemechek. Yes,
I’ve already thought about it: Instead of
driving to their garage stalls, why not
make drivers park on the grid and walk
to their haulers after a race — it would
facilitate the unleashing of post-race
emotions. There are tickets to sell. Claim
the idea for your own; you’re welcome.
TONY STEWART VS. BRIAN SCOTT: Stewart
turned a racing incident into a personal
conflict. The drivers made contact and
spun out. Stewart then gave Scott’s car
another kiss before it was all over.
GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Stewart was
summoned to the NASCAR hauler for a
talking to by officials. Scott says he used
a hand to motion to Stewart to pass.
“Maybe he thought I was giving him the
finger,” Scott said.

vick’s happy face.

1. Last call
Saturday night’s race at
Richmond International
Raceway represents the last
opportunity for a driver to
make the NASCAR Cup Chase.
So far 13 drivers have won
races. They are in the playoffs.
Chase Elliott and Austin Dillon
will likely get in on points. The
real battle will be between
16th-place Jamie McMurray,
who leads Ryan Newman by
only seven points in the Chase
standings. This could get
interesting really fast.
2. No mystery
Dale Earnhardt Jr. took all
the guess work out of his
timetable of when he plans
to return to Cup racing. He
won’t be back this season.
Junior decided to sit out the
rest of 2016 and concentrate
on overcoming the effects
of his concussion-like symp-
toms. “We want to be healthy
and able to compete at some
point, but also we don’t want
to take any risks and re-injure
ourselves,” Earnhardt said of
his decision to stand down.
3. Most popular
Voting for the Most Popular
Driver Award has started.
The award, sponsored by
Sprint and administered by
the NMPA, is the only major
NASCAR award determined
solely by fan vote. It has been
presented annually since 1953.
Fans may vote at mostpopu-
lardriver.com. Of course we
know who the winner will be
in 2016. Dale Earnhardt Jr. has
taken home that trophy every
season since 2003.

3 THINGS
TO WATCH
1. Retaining status
Moving the Southern 500
back to its Labor Day week-
end date has made the race
special again. For nearly a
decade it was staged the day
before Mother’s Day. Martin
Truex Jr. was so excited to
win NASCAR’s oldest super-
speedway race, he knelt down
and kissed the finish line after
winning.
2. Turn 2
Darlington Raceway’s Turn
2 remains one of the trickiest
turns in NASCAR racing. It’s
the turn that made the “Dar-
lington stripe” famous and a
badge of honor for drivers. If a
driver isn’t on their toes, most
likely they will slap the wall in
Turn 2 and keep rolling along.
3. Throwback success
The throwback weekend
program will continue for
at least three more years,
according to NASCAR officials.
Competitors and fans relish
going old-school at least once
a year. Tony Stewart’s team
wore Coca-Cola racing gear
that looked like pajamas, a big
hit in the garage area.
Martin Truex Jr. was so happy to win the Southern 500, he ran out and kissed the finish line.

Some people can’t stand the thought of spending their work days in a cubicle,
behind a computer screen, chained to their swivel chair — but others really
don’t mind working a desk job.
If you identify with the latter group, you’ve probably been warned of all the
dangers of sitting for eight hours a day. But here’s some good news: There are lots of
high-paying jobs for people who prefer not to be on their feet.
We looked through salary data on the US Bureau of Labor Statistics website to find
the highest-paying professions where workers typically spend a majority of their day
at a desk. We also looked at the employment outlook — the projected percent change
in employment from 2014 to 2024 — to give you a better idea of which jobs will be
around in the future. Here are seven that pay more than $100,000 a year, on average:

If you don’t mind a desk job,

The phrase “grab
a cold brew” has
taken on a new
meaning this summer.
Cold-brewed coffee is
gaining in popularity as
enthusiasts discover its
smooth, less-bitter taste.
Some coffee roasters,
however, have been cold-
brewing for a long time.
“We’ve done it for
15-plus years or more,”
said Brandon Bir, sourcing
and education manager
for Crimson Cup Coffee of
Columbus, Ohio.
Likewise, Robin Myers,
experience coordina-
tor and trainer for Brioso
Coffee of Columbus, Ohio,
said cold brewing has been
around for about 20 years.
“The reason I think
cold brew is so popular is
the coffee industry now
is trending on quality,”
Myers said, adding that
cold brewing is a way to
make coffee taste better.
Hot-water brewing, Bir
said, increases its acidity.
Cold water can’t extract
the acids and oils from
coffee the way hot water
can, so cold-brew coffee is
as much as 60 percent less
acidic than hot-brewed,
he said. Cold-brewed also
contains more caffeine.
The cold-brew method
is simple: Coarsely ground
coffee is steeped in cold
tap water at room temper-
ature for 12 to 24 hours.
Light roasts work best
for cold brewing, Bir said.
And Myers cautioned:
Don’t use distilled water
because it doesn’t contain
the chemicals from tap
water needed to properly
extract the coffee flavor.
The steeped coffee is
strained, resulting in a
liquid coffee concentrate
that can be mixed with
cold water or milk to
create ice coffee or an iced
latte. Some coffee drinkers,
Bir said, mix the con-
centrate with hot water
to create less-bitter hot
coffee, too.
A brew primer
How to make cold-brewed
coffee?• Place 12 ounces (3/4 of a
pound) of coarsely ground
coffee in a pitcher or jar. Add
56 ounces of water. Allow
to sit at room temperature,
loosely covered, for 12 to
24 hours. Don’t cover with a
tight lid, as carbon dioxide
will build up during the
steeping, and that can cause
a lid to pop off.
The longer the coffee
steeps, the stronger the
coffee concentrate will be.
• When you’ve finished
brewing, filter the concen-
trate from the coffee grounds
by pouring through a paper
coffee filter or fine-mesh
strainer.
• Store the coffee
concentrate in a refrigerator
in a jar, preferably a dark
one such as an amber glass
growler intended for beer.
• To serve, mix 1 part cold-
brew concentrate with 2 to 3
parts water for iced coffee or
2 to 3 parts dairy for an iced
latte. Combine 1 part coffee
concentrate with 2 to 3 parts
steaming hot water for hot
coffee.For a 12-ounce bever-
age, use 4 ounces (1/2 cup)
concentrate and 8 ounces (1
cup) water or dairy.

As summer
winds down
and the weather
gets cool,
it’s harvest time for a very
important food — honey.
What is honey?You probably know that
honey is made by bees, but
do you know what it’s made
of? When bees fly from
flower to flower, they col-
lect a sugary liquid called
nectar, then store it in their
hives to eat later. They fan it
with their wings to get most
of the water out, and even-
tually, the nectar becomes
the thick substance we put
in tea and on toast. There
are many different kinds of
honey, depending on what
flowers the bees visit.
Honey for people
Bees make honey to eat
themselves, but they do such
a good job at it that there’s
often plenty left for people.
Beekeepers tend beehives or
boxes where bees store honey
in honeycombs. When there’s
an abundance of honey, the
keepers take honeycombs
out of their beehives, remove
the honey, then process it so
they can sell it. If the honey
in your cabinet at home says
“pure honey,” you know
that nothing was added — it
was made for you by bees!
Tasty and helpful
Honey is not only sweet,
it can help you when you’re
sick. Some people who
have sore throats find that
a spoonful of honey makes
their throats feel better. It
can also help stop coughs.
Bees in dangerUnfortunately, the bee
population around the world
is not as large as it used to
be. And it’s not just honey
that’s at stake. Bees take a
substance called pollen from
plant to plant, and that helps
plants grow. Birds, bats
and other insects pollinate
plants, too, but bees make an
important contribution to the
growth of flowers and food.
So next time you’re tempted
to swat a bee, think twice.
He could be in the process
of helping your food grow!
Bees&
honey
Could you be a bee? Bees go from plant to
plant based mostly on smell. They have a
powerful sense of smell — they can smell
things that are a mile away, and they
know whether what they’re smelling is
something they want. Test your sense of
smell with this matching game.
You’ll need:
• Food, flowers and other things with a
scent (two of each item)
• Containers
• Plastic wrap
• A blindfold
• A friend
Put one of each item into a container,
cover it with plastic wrap, and poke a few
holes in the top. Line up one full set of
items on one side of a table and the other
set on the other side. Have your friend
hand you a container from one side, sniff
the contents, then try to find the match-
ing scent from the other set of items.

answers:
Can anyone besides a
real estate agent help?
Yes, at several points in
the process you will want
to consult legal counsel to
review and comment on
some documents.
Do you need a real estate
agent? Well, a person(s)
with contacts and exper-
tise in real estate sales and
marketing will be helpful.
Is there much paper-
work involved? Your real
estate agent will prepare
most of the paperwork.
The steering committee
should review the docu-
ments in advance and ask
questions of the agent
after. Take notes on the
agent’s answers and then
transmit the paperwork
to the attorney for review
and comment. The main
documents are:
1. Listing agreement
2. Seller condition
report 3. Offer to purchase
4. Final closing
statement)
The steps in order
As a caveat, the steps of
any real estate transaction
can change. Flexibility and aplomb
help to ensure a satisfac-
tory conclusion.

Ways to improve
home Wi-Fi access
When you think about
Wi-Fi, it’s usually because
it’s not working — and
driving you nuts. Before
investing in a more expen-
sive internet package
or living with buffering
videos and router resets,
here are some do-it-your-
self ways to improve your
home Wi-Fi:
Move your router. If you
have rooms that don’t
have access to the inter-
net, first try moving your
router to a more central
location in the home. If
you can’t move the router
to a different location, try
elevating it on a table or
shelf to spread the signal
more efficiently.
Upgrade to a mesh
network. San Francisco
company Eero was the
first to bring a mesh Wi-Fi
system into the home. It
works by swapping out
your current router, plug-
ging a single Eero device
into your modem, then
placing additional Eeros
throughout the house. The
devices work together to
create a wireless mesh
network that delivers
Wi-Fi to every room.
Update your modem.
Households should
update their modems
every three to five years.
If yours is outdated, it
could be impacting the
quality of your signal and
speed. Purchasing a new,
updated modem usually
costs $50-100, but you’ll
save money on a rental
fee while seeing major
improvements to your
Wi-Fi.
— Brandpoint
Be sure to research
codes, permits
If you are in the process
of remodeling your home
in hopes of selling it, an
important step to take
before you start con-
struction is to research
building codes and
permits. Work without a
permit might be subject
to removal or other costly
remedies, and selling your
home that was remodeled
without a permit can be
difficult. The proper per-
mits will help you protect
your property value, save
you money and improve
the safety of your home
as code officials can help
reduce potential hazards
or unsafe construction.

HOME-SELLING TIP
GARDEN GUIDE

The transition from summer to autumn
can be a delightful one — a certain
freshness that you feel in the air in
contrast to sultry heat, a softer quality of light,
a sense of purpose and organization. But let’s
face it; sometimes it can be awfully hard to
make the psychological shift to a new season,
especially if you’re still blissfully reliving that
dream vacation you took back in July. So do it
slowly. Continue to enjoy your cedar deck or
concrete patio, for example, but update your
decor with these sweet and subtle ideas, which
whisper, “Fall is on its way.”
WORLD MARKET/MICHAELS/PIXABAY PHOTOS
Leaves
No, it’s not your
imagination.
The leaves are
indeed starting
to show the first
streaks of yellow
and red. Somehow,
they are at their
most enjoyable right
now. I wonder whether
that is due to their novelty
value or to the fact that we
don’t have to get serious about raking
them up off the lawn just yet. String variegated leaves from
your deck rails or porch ceiling as a mobile or garland.
Branches
There is a certain wist-
fulness to the beauty
of bare twigs and branches that seems to embody autumn
perfectly. When using these as decorative elements on your
patio or terrace, proceed subtly – for instance, mingle a few
with end-of-summer flowers to create either a transitional
arrangement for your favorite vase or a timely wreath for
the front or back door.
Throws
That new all-white outdoor fur-
niture looked oh-so-cool when
the temperature hit 90 degrees
… and kept rising! However, now
it’s going to need a gentle touch
of warmth to keep it up-to-the-
minute chic. Right now, a throw
(yes, that’s Grandma’s afghan
updated for the 21st century)
in chenille or a lightweight wool will serve to add a drop of
color. Come the end of September, you’ll want to use it as a
cozy cover when you relax on the couch.
Fruit and
Veggies
We’re not quite up
to pumpkin time
yet, IMHO (though
I started spotting
Halloween costumes
in the stores back at
the start of August
… sigh!), but thin-
skinned squash like
crookneck, delicata, or
adorable little patty-
pans can be the basis
for an attractive dis-
play. Heap them in an earthenware bowl on your porch table,
mixed with contrasting green, red, or purple bell peppers.
(TIP: Late-summer squashes don’t last like their thicker-
skinned fall counterparts do, so change them out every few
days. Then simmer them into a hearty soup.) Apples and
pears look great piled in a basket; add some zip with more
unusual pomaceous fruits like rose hips and quinces.
Lighting
The sun has already
begun setting ear-
lier and earlier, even
though we won’t make
the big switch from
Daylight Saving Time
back to Standard
until November. We
sincerely hope it’s still
warm enough where you are to let you sit out on your deck,
patio, porch, or outdoor living room in the evening, but you
will want a little bit of extra illumination. Try a few candles
for a warm, romantic glow. A luxurious outdoor touch: install
a patio firepit, which will provide both light and warmth,
while paying homage to the carefree atmosphere of summer.
— Laura Firszt writes for networx.com.
ColorsDon’t get too heavily into autumnal hues, such as oranges or
browns, for your deck decor just yet; there will be plenty of
time for those when the calendar page turns to October. You
will want to gently segue to a richer color palette these days,
though. How about adding some splashes of vibrant shades
like teal blue, deep violet, or bottle green?

A s a relic who still
prefers print
(when is this Web
fad going away?), I can’t
ignore shiny car books,
with their crisp black type
and luscious images on
fine white paper. Here are
three new ones that you or
yours might like.
“Airstream: America’s
World Traveler” (Patrick
R. Foster; Motorbooks,
$45, 192 pages) The
Airstream travel trailer
company was the brain-
child of one Wallace Merle
Byam, born in 1896 in
Oregon to a veterinarian
and a bookkeeper. When
they split up Wally became
a shuttlecock child, bounc-
ing from one side of the
family to the other. He was
orphaned as a teenager, but
put himself through Stan-
ford. After graduating with
a law degree, Wally went
to Los Angeles, wanting
to direct movies. Instead,
he sold newspaper ads, a
skill that he parlayed into a
successful mini-empire of
trade magazines. At home,
however, Wally couldn’t
convince his new wife of
the joys of camping. To
make her more comfort-
able afield, he built a tiny
travel trailer modeled on
the one he’d spent a happy
summer in as a shepherd in
Oregon. Mrs. Byam didn’t
appreciate her husband’s
efforts, but plenty of other
people did, and Wally
began selling plans to DIY
trailer-builders. The Great
Depression of 1929 killed
the Byam publishing busi-
ness but, unexpectedly, it
helped create Airstream.
People needed living quar-
ters that could move from
job to job and that were
cheaper than hotel rooms.
The rest is, well, history
— the evolution of the
light but rugged, shiny
aluminum monocoque
travel trailer that is still
around, and still instantly
recognizable, 85 years on.
Byam personally became
his product’s premier
ambassador, often lead-
ing enormous Airstream
caravans around the world.
One especially ambitious
“outing” was a 1959-60
trailer trek the length of
Africa, from Capetown to
Cairo.At first blush, the book is
an extended travel post-
card from your white,
middle-class parents, or
grandparents, but a closer
read takes us inside the
company. This book isn’t
just 272 photos; the Air-
stream folks opened their
archives to the author,
and he did his homework
(except for putting tigers in
Africa and captioning sail-
fish as swordfish). Much
of the text could be a case
study in classic American
entrepreneurship, or a
business-school survey
course subtitled “Do What
You Love and You’ll Never
Work a Day in Your Life.”
“American Muscle Cars
— A Full-Throttle History”
(Darwin Holmstrom, Tom
Glatch; Motorbooks $50,
224 pages) This is hardly
the first big, glossy photo
book about muscle cars,
but it might be the best
one. So far, anyway. This
is a modern, clear-eyed
but loving look back at
a lost era, a time when
Detroit torque, horse-
power and cubic inches
ruled our blacktop the
way the Tyrannosaurus
Rex stomped the savannas
of the upper Cretaceous.
Here, from the introduc-
tion, is what I mean by
clear-eyed: “Even though
building (muscle cars) for
kids was unwise, like giving
heroin to Keith Richards or
a race car to James Dean or
Marilyn Monroe to a horny
president, the result-
ing cars were pretty cool,
and the time was right for
anything that symbolized a
raised middle finger thrust
at conformity.”
Author Darwin Holm-
strom is not only a degreed
novelist and journalist;
he’s also the senior editor
of Motorbooks, publisher
of this tome as well as
Airstream, above. Pho-
tographer Tom Glatch is
a large-format specialist
who has been shooting
cars since 1976. With the
help of a strong layout
team, they’ve created a
book that’s worth read-
ing, not just looking at,
even by people who aren’t
necessarily in thrall to
Baby Boomer automotive
dreams. Heck, even the
readouts and captions are
good.“Tiny Lego Wonders”
(Mattia Zamboni; No
Starch Press, $24.95, 208
pages) Subtitled “Build 40
surprisingly realistic mini-
models,” this book made
me dig out the Lego Ferrari
F40 kit that my son gave
me for Christmas when
he was a kid. Alex, forgive
me for taking 18 years to
get around to it, but now
I have a new apprecia-
tion for Legos. One point
of the book — which has
almost no words, just
step-by-step illustra-
tions — is that special kits
aren’t needed. Each of the
featured aircraft, ships,
trains, trucks and cars can
be constructed with fewer
than 100 of the basic blocks
that come with most Lego
sets.The mini-cars caught my
eye, but what had already
made me Lego-sensitive
was a photo that Ford sent,
back in June, of a one-
third-scale model of its
new GT sports car, built of
almost 40,000 Lego blocks
and weighing close to 80
pounds. It was displayed
at Le Mans during Ford’s
historic return to the
famous French 24-hour
race. Then, incredibly,
Ford’s new GTs took
first and third in class
on the very day of the
original GT’s stunning
first-second-third sweep
at Le Mans 50 years before.
By the way, there is
a brilliant 26-minute
documentary about Ford’s
campaign to crush the
opposition at the 1966
race, called “8 Meters:
Triumph, Tragedy and a
Photo Finish,” on You-
Tube. No Legos, though.
