• It was Hungarian psychiatrist Thomas Stephen Szasz who made the following sage observation: “If you talk to God, you

are praying. If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia.”

• The world’s most popular fruit is the banana. In the United States, people consume more bananas than apples and oranges put together.

• Thomas Jefferson was an inventor as well as a statesman, but he refused to take out patents on any of his ideas. He believed that inventions should benefit all of humanity, not just himself.

• According to those who study such things, the average American believes the ideal age -- that is, the best year of his or her life -- is 32. And when 30-somethings are asked when old age begins, the majority of men say it’s in the late 60s, while more women believe old age begins in the 70s.

• That iconic symbol of the Old West, the Pony Express, was based on the mail system used throughout the Mongol Empire in the 13th century. However, the Mongol riders often covered 125 miles in a single day, which was faster than the best record held by a Pony Express rider.

• In Nazi Germany, it was illegal to name a horse “Adolph.”

• Unless you’re from Central Florida, you’ve probably never heard of the small town of Ocoee. So you might be surprised to learn that during World War II, Ocoee earned the distinction of sending more men, per capita, to serve in the military than any other town in the United States.

Q: Can you tell me when my favorite show, “The Biggest Loser,” will be back for its next season? I can’t wait for it to start! -- Edie T., via e-mail

A: The weight-loss competition/reality show will be back for its 12th season on NBC beginning Tuesday, Sept. 20 (8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET). This season sees “The Big-gest Loser” with two new trainers: tennis star Anna Kournikova (who replaces Jil-lian Michaels) and celebrity trainer Dol-vett Quince. Trainer Bob Harper and host Alison Sweeney will return, and they will be joined by 15 contestants competing in a “Battle of the Ages,” which groups contes-tants by age. There will be three teams of five divided by age: the youngest players, all under 30; the middle players, ages 30 to 49; and the older players, ages 50 and above.

• • •Q: I loved “Spin City,” and I can find

the seasons with Michael J. Fox as the star on DVD, but can’t find the seasons when Charlie Sheen took over. Do they ever plan to release those seasons? -- Darren D., Spokane, Wash.

A: When Michael J. Fox retired from the successful sitcom after the fourth season, Charlie Sheen joined Heather Locklear and company, taking over as Deputy Mayor Charlie Crawford for the fifth and sixth seasons. The fifth season also was a who’s who of guest stars, including Marcia Cross, Kal Penn, Regis Philben, Raquel Welch, Dakota Fanning, Jason Priestley, Rosie O’Donnell, Seth Meyers, Scott Wolf and Alyssa Milano. Season five is finally avail-able on DVD, and can be found online and wherever your favorite DVDs are sold.

• • •Q: This spring I really got into Christian

Slater’s new show called “Breaking In.” I was so sad when it was canceled by Fox. Now I am hearing it might not be canceled.

Is that true? -- Dylan F., via e-mailA: In an almost-unprecedented reversal,

Fox decided to uncancel the caper comedy that centered on a team that is hired by companies to break into their own security systems in order to find flaws and weak links. Back in May, all signs pointed to “Breaking In” coming back for the fall, but when the fall schedule was announced a short time later, the show was nowhere to be seen. After much behind-the-scenes negotiation, Fox announced in August that the show would be back for 13 episodes to begin airing midseason 2012.

• • •Q: I was an avid viewer of the ABC show

“V,” and especially loved the character of Father Landry. Can you tell me if I can see the actor who played him in anything else soon? -- Vivian A. in Pennsylvania

A: Joel Gretsch, who played freedom fighter and priest Jack Landry on the ABC sci-fi show about aliens invading Earth, has risen from the ashes of “V” and can next be seen this fall on NBC’s “The Playboy Club” as a recurring character who clashes with Eddie Cibrian’s Nick Dalton.

• On Sept. 22, 1598, English playwright Ben Jonson is indicted for manslaughter after a duel. He was very nearly hanged, but his ability to read and write saved him. He claimed "benefit of clergy," which allowed him to be sentenced by the lenient ecclesiastical courts. Jonson was as famous in his time as Shakespeare.

• On Sept. 21, 1866, H.G. Wells, pioneer of science fiction, is born in Bromley, England. In 1895, he published his classic novel "The Time Machine," about a man who journeys to the future. The book was a success, as was "The War of the Worlds" (1898).

• On Sept. 20, 1881, Chester Arthur becomes third president to serve in one year. The year began with Rutherford B. Hayes in office. Hayes served out his term and turned over the reins to James A. Garfield. Four months later, Garfield was shot by an assassin but did not die until Sept. 19. Vice President Arthur was then sworn in as president.

• On Sept. 24, 1890, faced with the eminent destruction of their church and way of life, Mormon leaders reluctantly issue the "Mormon Manifesto" in which they command all Latter-day Saints to uphold the laws of the nation and abandon polygamy.

• On Sept. 23, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt is forced to defend his dog's honor and his own reputation. Critics had circulated a story claiming that Roosevelt had accidentally left Fala behind while visiting the Aleutian Islands earlier that year. They accused the president of sending a Navy destroyer, at taxpayer expense of up to $20 million, to go back and pick up the dog.

• On Sept. 19, 1957, the United States detonates a 1.7 kiloton nuclear weapon in an underground tunnel in Nevada. The test was part of a series of 29 nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons safety tests known as Operation Plumbbob.

• On Sept. 25, 1981, Sandra Day O'Connor becomes the first female U.S. Supreme Court justice in history when she is sworn in by Chief Justice Warren Burger. After graduating from Stanford law school in the early 1950s, no law firm in California would hire her because she was a woman.



In this high-tech world, who would have thought that a scammer could steal from people with a glue gun. Here’s how it works:

At your neighborhood bank’s ATM, where you’ve gone many times to withdraw cash, you might find one day that the machine seems to be defective. Some of the keys aren’t working correctly. Specifically, after you’ve entered all your numbers, including your PIN, the “enter” button ap-pears to be stuck. Same for the “cancel” button. They’ve been glued in place.

Meanwhile, your card is stuck in the machine mid-trans-action. When you go into the bank for help, the thieves

appear from around the corner and either hammer the keys loose and complete your transaction, grabbing the money, or they use the touch-screen feature, which you probably didn’t even know about.

If this happens to you:--Try pressing the screen. Many locations have installed

touch screens. You might be able to com-plete or cancel your transaction and get your card back.

--If you’re carrying a metal nail file or a pocketknife with gadgets on it, try to loosen the “cancel” key.

--Use your cell phone to call the bank to tell them you’re standing outside at the ATM. When you tell them the keys are stuck, they’ll surely be right out be-cause they’ll suspect what has happened. Whatever you do, don’t leave your card there.

--In a pinch, call the police and ask for assistance.

The older scams are still in play, however, so don’t let down your guard. These include:

--A false front with a sleeve or skim-ming device installed on the machine. When you insert your card, either your card number is read by a remote device, or the machine won’t let go of your card. As in the previous scenario, when you go for assistance, the scammer takes your card.

--The brochure box next to the ma-chine doesn’t just dispense literature, it also might have a camera that records every number you punch in. The thieves, likely sitting not far away, not only grab your card number, but the PIN too.

--Even the keypad could be fake. Be vigilant.

Remember that ATM machines that have been tampered with can be any-

where: the bank, retail stores, gas pumps and fast-food places with checkouts that have you swipe the card your-self.

PUZZLE ANSWERS

There's flower power in kids' and their moms' imaginations. Just ask 35-year-old Robyn Ander-son, busy mom of three active daughters.

"I love fabric and can't get enough of prints, stripes and dots," she said as she unveiled be-fore me piles of trendy cotton yardage she has collected here and there. "If I see clothing and accessories in the store that look simple and cute, I say to myself, "Now I can make that!"

Her latest inspiration blossomed when she and her 6-year-old daughter, Ocean, noticed flower-shaped fabric hair clips and embellish-ments in fall's back-to-school fashion. Layered petal-shaped fabric pinched together with but-tons and an added clasp or pin on the back looked easy enough for them to make themselves, so they gave it a try. And yes, the blooms were a snap to make.

Get started creating one-of-a-kind adorable flower accessories too, using these simple steps. You'll soon discover that like flowers in nature, each one is unique. Once you make a few, share the creativity with other moms and their daughters for a get-together of creative and fashionable fun.

Here's what you'll need for one flower hair clip or clothing accessory:

--Paper, pencil and scissors--Four 5-inch-by-5-inch pieces of cotton fab-

ric or felt pieces in contrasting colors--Fabric glue--Button --Hair clasp or brooch pin, available in craft

stores--Needle and thread

Fabric Blooms Brighten Back-to-School Wardrobe

1. Make pat-terns. First, draw a 3-1/2-inch-wide shape on paper that resembles a three-leaf clover without the stem. (Pick clover from your yard for inspiration or look for a perfect clover shape in a book or online. Notice that each leaf is heart shaped as you begin drawing.) Draw two more shapes that are 2 1/2 inches and 2 inches in width.

2. Set patterns on fabric, outline with a pencil and cut out. You'll want two 3-1/2-inch shapes.

3. Stack and arrange cut-out shapes from the two largest 3 1/2 inch shapes to the smallest to resemble a flower, gluing each layer in place at the center point. Let glue dry, then pinch the center a bit and sew a button on top through all slightly pinched layers.

4. Sew hair clasp or glue brooch pin to the center of the back of the base.

Tip: Creating and crafting with school-age kids provides ideal opportunities for teaching and practicing new skills such as using sharp scissors or threading a needle.

Q: I have an unusual teapot, and I would like to find its value. It is flow blue in the Pelew pat-tern and is marked as British made. What makes it extraordinary is its shape. It is a long decagon shape. -- Beth, Sun City, Ariz.

A: Your teapot was probably made in East Challinor, England, in about 1840, and is quite

desirable. I spoke to several collectors who seem to agree that in good to mint condition, it might be worth as much as $1,500. Be aware, however, that today's soft economy has depressed many values in the collectible marketplace, including vintage pieces of flow blue.

• • •Q: While clearing out an old house in St. Charles,

Mo., I found a Philco television with radio and pho-nograph. It is the Model 49-1278. The TV has a 12-inch screen, and a neighbor claims it is worth at least $5,000 because of its rarity. Where can I sell it? -- Steve, St. Louis, Mo.

A: "It ain't necessarily so," as lyricist Ira Gershwin wrote for his 1935 production of "Porgy and Bess."

Your neighbor might be an expert when it comes to grilling on his patio, but the "appraisal" he gave you is a bit off the mark.

I found the 1949 Philco listed in the Antique Trader Radio and Television Price Guide, edited by Kyle Husfloen, who values your set at $100. Even considering a slight difference in price due to region and condition, that is still a lot different than $5,000. Your best bet to sell it might be to place a classified ad in The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
