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

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.

SENIOR HEALTH

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.

ScottStewart

This isn’t Kevin Har-

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:

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

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

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.


Last-minute fall

gardening

If you’re

looking to

still get

some more

vegetables

out of our garden before

the frost sets in, you can

plant quick growers like

radishes (can be grown

in around 25 days) and

leafy greens like spin-

ach (which can take as

little as 40 days to grow).

If you’re hoping for an

garden full of color in the

early spring, bulb plants

like tulips, irises and cro-

cuses can be planted now.

Plant your bulbs once the

temperatures are in the

40s and 50s and before

the ground freezes.

HOME-SELLING TIP

GARDEN GUIDE

By Laura Firszt

Networx

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?

Decked outforfall

Ease your deck

or outdoor room

into autumn with

transitional decor

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.
