Go beyond cleansing to uncover vibrant skin.
It exfoliates as effectively as a $130 professional microdermabrasion treatment* to uncover a visibly bright, even skin tone. The soft microdermabrasion foam head and the warming Thermal Crystal Polisher smooth away rough patches.
*After one week of two Pro-X Microdermabrasion System uses vs. one professional microdermabrasion.

the hottest couple in town

Coffee and tea arent all the Cuisinart Coffee Plus can make at the same time. This incredible hot beverage system has two reservoirs you can use separately or simultaneously. One delivers hot coffee into a carafe and the other dispenses hot water instantly for tea, hot cereal or soup. So brew 12 cups of coffee and make tea to serve guests with dessert, or juggle the kids morning oatmeal and cocoa with your decaf and get out on time. Our Coffee Plus Coffeemaker and Hot Water on Demand not only make it fast and easy...its really hot stuff.

We evaluate products for the magazine and the Seal to make sure you get good value.
HOW OUR MAGAZINE AND THE GH SEAL PROTECT YOU

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING maintains good taste and exercises strict editorial judgment as to products it will accept for advertising in the printed magazine and in reviewing all of the advertising copy it publishes. These judgments are the basis of the Good Housekeeping Consumers Refund or Replacement Policy. WE PROMISE This is Good Housekeepings LIMITED WARRANTY: If any product that bears our Seal or is advertised in this issue* (with certain exceptions described below) proves to be defective within two years from the date it was first sold to a consumer by an authorized retailer, we, Good Housekeeping, will replace or repair the product or refund the purchase price. This policy covers you, the consumer, whether you bought the product or it was given to you (by the buyer). Products that bear the Green Good Housekeeping Seal have been assessed by Good Housekeeping in accordance with Good Housekeepings environmental criteria and are also subject to the limited warranty if proven to be defective. WHAT TO DO If you believe such a defect exists, write to: Consumer Services & Seal Coordinator, Good Housekeeping Magazine, 300 West 57th Street, New York, NY 10019. Please inform us of any defect as soon as possible. We will send you a complaint form to return. The form asks you to describe the product and tell where and when it was bought, the price paid, and the problem you had. You will be required to provide a receipt (if the purchase price included installation, it must be separately itemized). You may be asked to ship the product to us at our expense. If that is not possible because of size or installation, our representative may call on you and inspect the product. If the product is defective, we will replace or repair it, if possible, or refund to you the purchase price, at our discretion. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights, which vary from state to state. If the manufacturer or retailer of the product has already reimbursed you for the purchase price, or replaced or repaired the product, we will consider the matter resolved and the warranty will not apply. The warranty also will not apply if you have taken any action that would preclude us from inspecting any product that has been installed on your premises. EXCLUSIONS This policy does not extend to the following products and services, even if advertised in the magazine: insurance; financial/investment services and products; realty (including housing of any kind); franchise operations; automotive and camping vehicles; public transportation; travel facilities and hotels; catalog merchandise; corporate ads; merchandise featured in retailer ads; Shopping by Mail items; premiums and prizes; schools, summer camps, and similar organizations; contraceptives, prescribed drugs, and medical procedures, facilities, and some devices (including cosmetic ones); alcoholic beverages; services (such as cleaning and repair services and Internet access providers); unbranded food products and branded deli foods not sold in individual packages; products sold only to the trade; self-diagnostic devices; diet plans; contact lenses; fire alarms and suppressants; carbon monoxide detectors; home security systems and devices; infant/ toddler car seats and restraints; swim aids, flotation devices, and pool toys; and institutional advertisements. We are not responsible and the limited warranty does not apply when a defect arises from improper installation, assembly, use, or service, or if the product is abused. Due to many variables that may aect product usage by a consumer, this warranty does not extend to claims regarding the specific savings in energy, mileage, or other measures of eciency that a product purports to oer, nor does it extend to claims resulting from use of a product in an environment or in a manner other than as described in any applicable specication. This policy covers the functionality of educational and instructional products, i.e., operability of a tape, book, compact disc, or other media, but does not extend to warrant the educational eectiveness to be achieved from use of the products. Due to the nature of the Internet, no software product can completely protect against exposure to oensive content. Exposure to any such content shall not be deemed a defect under the terms of this policy. Products that are advertised in Good Housekeeping, and that may bear the Good Housekeeping Seal, are not manufactured, sold, or serviced by Good Housekeeping, unless otherwise expressly indicated. Good Housekeeping makes no express warranty for state law and provides no guarantee or remedy other than as described here. *As to products that are advertised in the magazine but do not bear the Seal, the two-year limited warranty applies only if the product was purchased within one year of the date of the issue in which the advertisement appeared.

Home-Baked Memories
NOTHING SAYS HOLIDAY LIKE THE WONDERFUL FRAGRANCE OF SOMETHING DECADENTLY SWEET BAKING IN THE KITCHEN.
Entertaining expert ALEXANDRA HEDINs most meaningful memories were made in the kitchen. When I was a little girl, I spent hours in the kitchen baking with my mother. Now that Im a mother myself, I make sure I spend the same time with my children especially around the holidays when everything is so hectic. When shes not in the kitchen with her family, Alexandra evokes that warm feeling of togetherness with Air Wicks Homemade Holiday Collection, like the expertly-crafted Vanilla Butter Cream Cupcake fragrance.
HOMEMADE INSPIRATION!
Alexandras tips for turning your favorite Air Wick scent into a pretty holiday centerpiece: 1. Place a clear glass tumbler upside down in the center of a glass vase. 2. Fill the space between the tumbler and the vase with an assortment of glass ornament balls. 3. Place the Air Wick candle in the center of the tumbler; secure in place with oral clay. 4. Tie a bow around the vase. 5. Light the candle and enjoy. For more Homemade Holiday inspiration from Alexandra, visit alexandrahedin.com.

ON MY MIND
Gratitude
Photographs, from left: QUENTIN BACON; LARA ROBBY/Studio D (book).
feel happiest when I feel most grateful. And its not just me; its true for humans in general: Study after study has shown that when we stop to count our blessings, smell the rosespick any clich you likewe not only appreciate the good things in our lives more, but also expand our sense of well-being in ways scientists can measure but cant always explain. The trick is slowing down long enough to do it. If something trips my be thankful wire (and it can be anything from an arrestingly beautiful sunset to a story I hear on the news), I lean into it, pausing long enough to enumerate things and people Im grateful for. But on my own steam, barreling through the days as I do, Im not so good at that. Sound familiar? So in this issue, weve gathered 30 small blessings to count, one for each day of this month, to lead up to Thanksgiving and to help you create a daily habit of appreciating one simple thing (see page 111). Ive already started practicing my own new habit: Before I open my eyes each morning, I think of what Im thankful forvery specific things, not my husband or my daughter but the rakish way Jims eyebrows hike up when he teases Lucy or the smell of the lavender on my bedside table.
Or Inas laugh. Ina Garten, on our cover this month, has the most earthy and intelligent laugh Ive ever heard; its downright infectious. When we were talking about how she puts her Thanksgiving feast together, how she shares it with her friends, and the joy she gets from it, I could practically smell the turkey roasting. She is both generous and exacting, grounded and ambitious, practical and imaginative. I just love that. And Im thankful for it. Im also thankful for you. I deeply appreciate your e-mails, Facebook posts, tweets, lettersand, yes, even the complaints. I love how we share affection for this long-lived and magnificent magazine, a bellwether of American womanhood. And I love that no matter how frenetically we live our lives day to day, these pages are a rest stop. Happy Thanksgiving,

Tapas-style snacks: ready in under ve minutes
Chic touch: hand towels in a wine rack
ELEVATE HORS DOEUVRES Serve on rustic cu ing boards. Go with fare that will keep well in your refrigerator for those few holiday weeks: olives, nuts, salami, hard and semi-hard cheeses like Cheddar, Gruyre, fontina, and Goudano-sweat nibbles in lieu of dinner. RAID YOUR FREEZER Turn out a gourmet treat on a dime: Heat frozen french fries under the broiler, add salt and pepper, sprinkle with dried herbs (e.g., rosemary, thyme), and serve bistro-style, upright in waxed-paper or parchment-paper cones.

STEALTH CLEAN Focus on rooms youll be using (living room, kitchen, and bathroom), then close the doors literallyon the rest. Corral stray gadgets, unopened mail, and other domestic detritus in a laundry bin to stow in a closet. Slip a sock on your hand for a swi dust-down. Hide dishes in the dishwasher or a basket beneath the sink to be dealt with in the A.M. Then smile: No one will ever know.
GO FOR THE GLOW Turn o harsh overheads and use lamps or creative groupings of tiny tealights, or swap a few ordinary bulbs for pink LEDstheyre a ering to every skin tone (and way easier than painting your living room coral).

BREAK BREAD Thaw frozen bague es in a 350F oven 10 minutes; slice lengthwise and strip bread from centers. Add cheese, meat, or roasted red peppers; wrap in foil; warm; then slice.
DONT FORGET
dessert. Grab a few bars of really good chocolate (we like a mix of dark, milk, and white), break into pieces, and serve on a platter with nuts and dried fruit.

FRESHEN UP the bathroom. Cluster pillar candles in dierent sizes on shelves. Pipe in soothing music (the X-Mini II palmsize speaker hooks up to most mobile players).
DECORATE by numbers. Pull together a grouping of similar objects (think blue glass vases, an array of shells, silver-framed photos), then use as an accent anywhere.
END ON A WARM NOTE Serve hot chocolate with a splash of mint extract (brandy optional). Or heat up a jar of hot fudge sauce, pour over ice cream in shot glasses, and serve as mini sundaes.
SHOP THE BACKYARD This time of year, its easy to put together a tablescape with found objectsdried leaves and grasses, fall fruit, unshelled nuts. Arrange on a pla er, and youre done.

What really causes undereye circles? Whats the best x for dark spots? Here, three top derms answer your most pressing beauty questions
By Melanie Rud Chadwick
WorldMags.net

LOOK GOOD
WorldMags.net
Q
Is a $10 moisturizer just as good as a $50 one?
A. Yes. For basic moisturizer, price doesnt matter.
Hydrating ingredients arent expensive. What youre paying for in a pricey moisturizer is packaging, fragrance, and the nice lady at the counter selling it to you, says Los Angeles dermatologist Jessica Wu, M.D., author of Feed Your Face. Just check the ingredients for tried-and-true hydrators like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and panthenol. Our pick: Olay Age Defying Instant Hydration Day Cream ($10, drugstores). Save your money for serums or night creams; ingredients like peptides and retinol can drive up their cost (by $25 or more).
Q. Are dark circles caused by lack of sleep?

A. No. Too little shut-eye can make them look worse, but theyre inuenced by multiple factors: how thick undereye fat pads are, how thin skin is, and how supercial blood vessels are. Hence, some people are likelier to have them than others, explains Dr. Wu. When youre tired, your blood vessels dilate and eyes get puy, creating shadows. This makes dark circles more prominent, but its not the cause, she says. A cover-up, like Revlon PhotoReady Concealer ($10, six shades; drugstores), is the best x (see The Pouch Potato Cure, page 64, for another option).
Photographs, from top: Corbis; J MUCKLE/Studio D.
Q. Will using a face oil make me break out?
youre acne-prone. If your skin is already oily, using an oil can clog pores, which ups the potential for breakouts, says New York City dermatologist Debra Jaliman, M.D., author of Skin Rules. This applies for both mineral oil and plant-based oils such as sunower and olive. However, if you have dry skin, an oil can help lock in moisture; use it under or in lieu of a moisturizer. One option: Lumene Complete Rewind Intensive Recovery Beauty Oil ($30, drugstores).
A. Nounless
Q
Will an over-theng counter brightening cream get rid of my dark spots?
A. No. A lightener or brightener cant t fully eliminate spots (which are too deep in the skin), but it can fade them a d. lot, especially if they are newly formed. One to try: LOral Paris Youth Code Dark Spot Correcting & Illuminating Serum Corrector ($25, drugstores) a 2013 Anti-Aging Award winner. An inven oce laser can eradicate spots, but even that method isnt foolproof: If youre not rd, diligent about daily sunscreen afterward, ht that hyperpigmentation will come right back, says Tamella Buss Cassis, M.D., a dermatologist in Prospect, KY.

Q
My skin is really dry. Is moisturizing enough to o fix it?
A. No. When youve reached the scaly, itchy stage, using lotion alone wont cut it. If you dont exfoliate rst to get rid of that layer of dead skin, moisturizer wont penetrate, says Dr. Jaliman. Just dont overr do it, or you may irritate your skin and make matters worse. Use a scrub once or twice a week (avoid salt-based ones, which can be drying), and
then apply moisturizer immediately. Try: Nuance Salma Hayek Macadamia Nut Exfoliating Body Cleansing Scrub ($9, CVS).
Since I do my own manis and pedis at home, am I safe from nail infections?
A. No. While DIY exposes you to less risk than getting a nail job in a salon, using dirty tools can still
lead to a bacterial infection, which causes red, swollen, and painful skin around the nail bed, says Dr. Cassis. Even a seemingly innocuous nail le can harbor bacteria. Choose a crystal or stainless steel option (either can be washed), and wipe all your tools with rubbing alcohol or wash them in warm, soapy water after each use.
Q. Do I need to wear sunscreen

if my makeup has an SPF?
You cant rely on makeup alone. To get adequate sun protection, you have to apply an even coat all over your face, says Dr. Cassis. If you just put on foundation wherever you need coverage, you wont get an c even layer. Plus, makeup sits on skins top layer and wears o quickly, whereas a moisturizers chemical sunscreen is absorbed by skin, making it more eective. Use a moisturizer with SPF 30, such as First Aid Beauty 5 in 1 Face Cream ($38, Sephora), 365 days a year.
54
A. Yes.
Q. If I incorporate antioxidants ants into my diet, do I need to apply them topically, too?
A. Yes. The antioxidants meant to be slathm environered on skin protect its surface from mental assaults like pollution, smoke, and the ment of sun, which contribute to the development ng; inwrinkles, spots, and other signs of aging; eeper into gesting antioxidants delivers them deeper i-aging the skin. If you do both, youll get anti-aging lains benets for all layers of the skin, explains o your Dr. Wu. Consider adding vitamin C to ty, ghting skin-care routineit does double duty, en producfree radicals and stimulating collagen tion. Try applying a serum, such as PCA Skin , derm C-Quench Antioxidant Serum ($74, eath your store.com), in the morning, underneath , diet-wise, moisturizer and/or sunscreen. And, s: Theyre load up on brightly colored berries: nts that at lled with anthocyanins, antioxidants dow wn. may help prevent collagen breakdown.

Spot Check
DONT LET SPLOTCHY HANDS give away your age: Upgrade to a cream with spotfading vitamin C. Try Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Hand Treatment SPF 30 ($8, drugstores) or Avon Anew Clinical Absolute Even Hand Cream SPF 15 ($8, avon.com), which also has skin sloughers like salicylic acid.

My family is eager to try fried turkey this year, but isnt it loaded with calories?
November 2013
ITS probably not as bad as you think. When you fry, oil gets primarily into the e skin, not the meat itself. Assuming the skin (where re the saturated fat and extra calories lurk anyway) ) is removed before you eat it, fried turkey has only nly about 20 more calories per ounce than roastedor, or, in a three-ounce serving, about 60 more. But watch out for other calorie bombs on your plate. Its easy 00 big to eat your way through 3,000 ones during the Thanksgiving meal!

Even as a child,
I was an intense worrier. My mother was constantly anxious, which left me feeling like something terrible was always about to happen. Then, during my senior year of high school, something did: My father died of a heart attack, and just a few years later, my mother died of breast cancer. Shed had a lump in her breast for five years, but was too nervous to see a doctor until it was too late. Suddenly, my worst fears were being realized.
Ive always had lots of friends, and thanks to my seemingly together exterior, they never suspected anything. Plus, I was more than functioning: I graduated from college in 1979, lived abroad for seven years, and, after returning to New York City, started a successful educationalconsulting firm, helping families navigate the private-school admissions system.
My turning point
Things started to shift in my 30s. Id never felt a need to get married, but Id always wanted a child, and in 1996, I adopted my daughter, Arabella, from China. Strangely enough, I didnt worry for a minute about adopting on my own. I just knew it was right. Arabella isnt a worrier, and her calm demeanor, even as a little girl, made me think about my own habits. I started to see that if I spent my whole life worrying, I wouldnt have a life. I got off track after 9/11. Suddenly New York City felt like a really scary place to live. I stopped drinking tap water, thinking it could be poisoned, and I became so nervous about anthrax in the mail that I
Inner anxiety, outer strength

As a young woman, I lived with a never-ending internal monologue of everything that could go wrong. Two of my friends had died when I was a teenager, and I was positive that I, too, had multiple sclerosis or leukemia. Or that I would get AIDS, or be in a car crash. One doctor told me, You need to calm down. If there ever is anything wrong, no one will believe you. I also worried excessively about things that normal people fret overlike What if I throw a party and no one shows up? I couldnt sleep or find joy in life. Basically, I was a wreck. To the outside world, ironically, I seemed fine.

microwaved envelopes before I opened them. But the attacks ended up giving me some perspective. One day I was in a skyscraper in midtown Manhattan and glimpsed the Empire State and Chrysler buildings in the distance. It struck me that they could be targeted, that in fact my whole world could end in an instant. It made me think, Why am I wasting so much time worrying? My troubles are so small compared with whats going on in the world. Im alive and Im healthy, and I should enjoy it.
When I get into a worry cycle, Ill say, Amanda, calm down! Youre annoying everyone
Turning it off
Shut up and get lost! Thats what a therapist taught me to tell the worried voice in my head. (I decided not to take medication because I felt it would only mask the problem.) Talking to myself really helped and still does. When I get a mammogram, for example, I repeat, This isnt cancer; its a test for cancer. And as Arabella got older, her steadiness continued to inspire me. Seeing bad things happen to other people always made me uneasy, but when Arabella was 7 and wanted to help kids with cancer, she never
expressed any fear of getting the disease herself. Then, one day when she was 11, she came home and said, Mom, you should become a Taoist. Throughout her childhood, Arabella studied Chinese culture and language, and she had become curious about Chinas religions. Im Jewish, but when your 11-year-old tells you to become a Taoist, you pay attention. I started reading about the ancient Chinese philosophy, which emphasizes taking life as it comes, day by day, and accepting what you cant change. That has really helped me approach life more calmly. The better Ive become at silencing my worries, the less life feels like an endless series of crises. Ill probably always be a little angsty, but I dont let my worry control me. For example, Im scared of flying, but I still get on airplanes. Bravery is a choice, and worriers can be brave, too.

Glioblastomas are the most common and most aggressive malignant said on the phone. Yes, theres a risk, he added, but he thought hed be able to remove the tumor without leaving Bridget paralyzed. The clinical trial involved ingenious gene therapy. The traditional treatment for these brain tumors is surgery, followed by radiation and chemotherapy. But too often, some cancer cells remain, leading to a recurrence. In the new approach, after removing the mass, doctors inject the gene of a virus into the tumor cavity tissue to make the cancer cells more receptive to an antiviral drug that the patient starts taking four days later. The drug makes the cancer cells more vulnerable to radiationwhich can then wipe them out more successfully. I felt absolutely blessed to be asked to join the study, Bridget says. The Hanchettes took a quick family trip to Florida, where they floated in the Lazy River and hand-fed exotic birds. Even if Bridget wasnt consciously afraid of dying, she decided to celebrate life by giving her kids memories to last a lifetime. Then, leaving the children with Tommys parents, Bridget and Tommy flew to California. There were so many pre-op tests over the next week that by April 14, the day of her surgery, Bridget was wiped out. But the second I woke up in the recovery roomeven though I was all bandaged and groggyI pulled up the sheets, she says. I had to see my feet. Finally, she got her left foot out: I could wiggle my toes up and down! They worked! Then, after dozing a bit, she did it again. For nurses. Doctors. My husband.

brain tumors. Without treatment, the median survival time for patients is short only a few months. With treatment, patients live an average of 15 months. But 90% of glioblastomas recur within two years. The doctor explained that Bridgets mass was located in an area of the brain that controlled her left leg. Surgery would probably paralyze that side of her body, and paralysis could make her too weak to withstand radiation and chemotherapy. Bridget had only one thought: Lets get a second opinion. A neurosurgeon/oncologist team at another medical center told her the same thing. But minutes after they walked into their house, reeling, from that visit, the couple got a third opinion. A doctor friend had recommended neurosu r ge on B eh n a m Ba d ie , M.D., director of the Brain Tumor Program at the City of Hope, a cancer and research center in Duarte, CA, and theyd had Bridgets scans sent to him. Dr. Badies recommendation: surgery, plus participation in a clinical trial aimed at reducing the chances of recurrence. I can do this, Dr. Badie
I felt absolutely blessed to be asked to join the study

Bridgets surgery was followed by six weeks of exhausting radiation and chemotherapy at City of Hope. Then, on June 5, less than four months after a doctor had told Tommy Hanchette that brain cancer would kill his wife within a year, Bridget came hometumor-free. Every six months, she has an MRI scan. For over four years, the scans have been completely clean, but Dr. Badie cautions that not everyone has such a good outcomeand they arent sure why Bridget has done so well. One theory, he explains, is that in addition to attacking the cancer cells, the virus provoked an immune response against them. The clinical trial, which had been in its early stages, is no longer testing new patients. After researchers analyze the data, they anticipate going on to do a larger study. Bridget still cant quite describe how she feels. Theres part of me that cant believe I ever had a brain tumor, she says. And there is part of me that wakes up every morning and still wiggles my left toes.

PRINTING A BETTER WINDPIPE

KAIBA GIONFRIDDO, 2
ne moment the Gionfriddo familymom April, dad Bryan, 11-year-old Jasmine, 6-yearold Damen, and 6-week-old Kaibawere enjoying dinner at a local Youngstown, OH, restaurant, and the next they were terrified as they saw the baby turn blue. I dont know how Bryan remembered chest compressions from a class he took years and years ago, but he just started them, and we raced to the hospital, says April. It was a week before Christmas 2011, and the Gionfriddos felt like they didnt need anything else from Santa after doctors told them Kaiba had merely aspirated some formulathat is, breathed liquid into his airway and lungs. But on December 29, in the family living room, Kaiba turned blue again. Bryan started chest compressions again, and back at the hospital, April begged doctors, Please. Figure this out. The answer wasnt good. Baby Kaiba had tracheobronchomalacia, a condition in which the bronchi, the airways that branch off the windpipe into the lungs, collapse. About 2,000 babies are born with the problem in the United States every year. While most will outgrow it, Kaiba wouldnt be so lucky. A section of one of his bronchi was so weak that, even sedated and on a ventilator with a tracheotomy, he couldnt breathe. They did CPR on him every single day, April says quietly. We thought we were going to have to bury him. We were preparing. The Gionfriddos didnt know that 230 miles north, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Glenn Green, M.D., an associate professor of otolaryngology, and Scott Hollister, Ph.D., a professor of biomedical and mechanical engineering and an associate professor of surgery, had
Though he still has a tracheotomy, Kaiba is a playful toddler

been working to figure out how to make artificial airway splints. They were using, of all things, a 3-D printer. The technology, often called additive manufacturing, sounds like the stuff of Star Trek. But the process was actually developed almost 30 years ago, and today it is used in manufacturing everything from airplanes to sneakers to orthopedic and dental implants. The how is pretty straightforward, at least for manufacturing: Designers make a pattern of the object they want to create on a computer; then, instead of using ink, a printer
prints thin layers of metal or plastic. For medical use, its more complicated: The scientists need to couple patient images (like CT or MRI scans) with special software. Also, 3-D printers are not made to work with biomaterials, so other adaptations have to be made. d Dr. Green and Hollister had had de success with a 3-D printer that made ricustom airway splints in lab experie in ments, but they had never tried one a human being. We were about a year ead away from getting the go-ahead rial, from the FDA to do a clinical trial, Dr. Green recalls. Then, on January 30, 2012, he got an e-mail from a doctor in Ohio telling him about an infant who needed a splint right away. The baby was not going to live unless something was done, the physician wrote. Doctors explained to the Gionfriddos that the procedure was entirely experimental, but we didnt have to think before saying yes, April says. They were giving Kaiba a chance.

Then came about an infinity of e-mails, Dr. Green says. But within just a few days, the team got clearance from the hospital and university review boards and from the FDA. On February 1, 2012, Kaiba was airlifted to C.S. Mott Childrens Hospital in Ann Arbor. A radiologist took a CT scan of his lungs, which Hollister used to generate a computer model of a splint that would exactly fit the baby. The splintcreated with a powder called polycaprolactone (dubbed friendly plastic because it is so easy to mold)wound up being about one and a half centimeters long and eight millimeters wide, and it looked a bit like a mini cigarette filter. Only eight days after Kaiba had arrived in Michigan, Dr. Green, along with cardiothoracic surgeon Richard Ohye, M.D., took Hollisters tiny object and attached it to Kaibas collapsed bronchus. Seconds later, we started seeing the lung inflate and deflate, Dr. Green says. It was so fabulous. People in the operating room were cheering. It was like magic, April remembers. He was going to dieand then he could breathe. Today, the 3-Dprinted splint functions as support scaffolding for Kaibas bronchusso for now, the safest course is for the 2-yearold to keep breathing through a tracheotomy. But within 24 months, the walls of Kaibas airway will grow

Thats when the Ashland, OH, preschool teacher went to her general practitioners office with a sore throat she couldnt kick. The doctor prescribed the antibiotic Augmentin. Kims throat infection went away, but she came down with diarrhea that didnt let up when she finished her prescription. All spring, Kim was running to the bathroom numerous times every morning before school. By summer, she was running to the bathroom up to 12 times a day. She also had a fever, pain, and blood in her stools, and in July, a lab test confirmed her doctors suspicion: Kim had Clostridium difficile, or C. diffa superbug that makes people sick when other bacteria in the intestine have been wiped out, often following a course

of antibiotics. The CDC estimates that there are about 500,000 cases of C. diff each year, and its been linked to 14,000 deaths annually. Kim tried various pharmaceutical cocktails, yogurt, probiotics, and even the old BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast)except bananas. I hate bananas. Like roughly one in five C. diff cases, hers kept coming back: Id try to eat only in the morning to control my symptoms during the day; in the fall, when school reopened, I brought extra clothes just in case. It was early 2013 when Kim turned to the doctor of the desperatethe Internet. There were all the drugs she had tried. There was intestinal removal. And then she found a description of something called fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). In plain terms, an FMT procedure involves putting a healthy persons stool into a sick persons large intestine so the bacteria from the normal feces can recolonize the intestine with the bacteria that have been wiped out. Despite how gross it sounded, on the Internet, it looked like a possible treatment because Id exhausted everything else, Kim says. the $800 tabconfirmed she would be a good donor. On May 31, 2013, Sarah dropped off a paper bag at the Brinkmans. I didnt look inside, says Kim. She took the bag and a new, unopened blender

After suffering for months, Kim turned to the doctor of the desperate the Internet
It looked promising to the medical community, as well. In a recent University of Amsterdam study, FMTs had a 94% success rate for C. diff cases. But the FDA, deeming every transplant an investigational new drug that would require clearance, had put a severe restriction on the procedure in the U.S. Some desperate patients were doing it on their own at home. I had teenage children, a husband, and a life that was often only about pain, weakness, and bathrooms, Kim says. I was ready to try. Luckily, she got a referral to Razvan Arsenescu, M.D., Ph.D., medical director of the Inflammatory Bowel Diseases Program at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. He had just done his first FMTin the hospital and had permission from the FDA to do a second one. All Kim needed was a donor. The person didnt have to be related to her, just healthy, free of immune problems, and not on antibiotics in the previous six months. Her husband wasnt a candidate at the time, so she asked her friend Sarah, a nutritionist. Thats sort of in the medical field, so I thought the ick thing might not be so bad for her, Kim explains. Sarah said yes, and a blood test and stool samplenot covered by insurance, so Kim picked up
seriously, you have to bring your own unused blenderto the hospital. Its actually a simple procedure, like a colonoscopy, Dr. Arsenescu says. We dilute and mix the stool sample with saline, then f lush the liquid through the colon and into part of the small bowel. I woke up from the anesthesia, and they told me to take two Imodium, Kim says. That was it. And then it was a new world. No pills, no fevers, no night sweatsand intense training (with Sarah) for a charity triathlon on August 11. Having diarrhea doesnt sound bad, but for a year, it was very, very rough. It was such a struggle to be a mom and a wife and a teacher. And its embarrassing not to be able to control your own body. In July, FDA officials eased rules for performing fecal transplantations doctors must simply inform patients that the procedure is considered experimental. Kim is grateful to be among the small number whove had one. Now its like it all never happened, she says, except that my friend Sarah and I are closer than ever.
Just six weeks after her ordeal ended, Kim completed a mini triathlon to benet breast cancer research

If you have button-pushing relatives arriving for a holiday feast, dont let anxious feelings quash your joy. Putting a positive spin on a stressful situation (e.g., laughing off your aunts pushing you to do the potatoes her way) can reduce anxiety, found a study from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Shift your focus to what will be good like quality time with your niece, or the delicious food, says study coauthor Nicole Llewellyn. That will make it easier to roll with the punches, even if your upbeat attitude lasts only until the company leaves.

shot of happiness from new, challenging endeavors. When I considered adding video to my blog, for example, I reminded myself that mastering the process would likely make me happier by broadening my definition of what I was capable of and leading to new relationships (see question 1). I confess that I still feel kind of goofy talking into the camera, but the reward has definitely been worth the effort.

What is the opportunity cost?

Energy, time, and money are limited, so even if a decision would make you happy, it might not be worth it if it would mean youd have to give up other activities you love. For example, I could learn to play a musical instrument or speak French, but pursuing either activity would require me to direct resources away from other things Id rather do.
When I consider this action, how do I feel?

This question is often a quick and reliable barometer of whether to do something or not. If you feel a surge of energy, thats usually a good sign. If notyou get the idea.
Will this decision help me stay true to myself?

Youre happiest when your life reflects your temperament, interests, and values. Ask yourself: Am I making this decision to impress others, pretend Im different from the person I actually am, or deny a truth about myself? If you answer yes, move on.
Will this option help me to choose the bigger life?

What is the bigger life? Thats the beauty of this question: Everyones definition is different. Consider a very work-driven person who is offered a big job promotion, but also has a dream of moving to Italy for a year. By asking herself this question, she might gain new insights about what is really important to her. Theres no right or wrong answeronly whats true for you.

PD: Done is better than perfect. I had that over my desk for a while. Its an important principle for a perfectionist whos trying to nish a book.

PD: I nd that forcing myself to be unbusy and just hang out in an openended way with my kids, usually on the weekends, has an enormous payo for everyone. You can see, at bedtime, how much more content and less anxious they are. They seem sort of lled up with just what they needed.

often her friends would say to me, as they left, Were going to miss her pie. When asked aske for the recipe, Id explain that success with piecrust (the tricky part) is never wit about abo the recipe. Its not quite magic, but the mystery is best solved by standing at the elbow of a person who knows the trick of making good crust. Its all in how you handle ha the dough. Over the months and years that followed, I found that one of ye th more comforting things I could do the when I missed my mother was make a w pieor, p better yet, teach someone else to make one. I began a tradition of throwm i the doors of my home open a few ing times a year and hosting a pie party t w all pies going to the local homeless with shelter. Word spread, and soon strangers began showing up at my doorstep rolling pins in handfor the purpose of learning my mothers secret for flaky crust. One time, a man flew in from Los Angeles for the lesson. I want to share something with all of you, he said, now that weve shared in pie. He took out a deck of cards and shuffled them in the graceful way of a professional. Next, he asked a woman to pull a card from the deck. All but the magi magician could see that the card was the two of hearts. He returned it to the deck, then tossed all 52 cards in the air in such a way that he actually caught them. All but one. That card had landed on my ceiling, face out, so we could see: The two of hearts. Since then, Ive hosted a few dozen pie gatherings. The card is still there on my ceiling (a cathedral ceiling, incidentally). It always makes me happy, catching sight of it. And when I do, the person I think about more than the magician, whom I never saw againis my mother. Gone for 23 years now. Some people, seeing the card, want to know if Ive been tempted to inspect the back for traces of glue, or magnets. This is the last thing Id ever want to do, I tell them. I may love teaching people how to make my mothers piethe secret to which Ive now passed on to hundreds of bakersbut some forms of magic should remain wonderful mysteries. How that card stays on my ceiling is one. The enduring power of love, another.
Bakers Secret
The only real magic I know is this: Where there is pie, there is love
By Joyce Maynard
y mother was a brilliant and lovable woman, but not an easy person to have as a mom. About one of her gifts, though, I have never felt one shred of ambivalence: She baked a great pie. Crust was her specialty. When she was diagnosed with
inoperable brain cancer at age 66, there remained much unfinished business between us. I had always assumed wed have a few decades to work things out, but now that we didnt, nothing mattered more than to let her know how much I loved her. For my mother, a big part of loving and caring for a person involved making that person good food (from scratch)a trait we shared. And so one of the things I did a lot that summer was bake for her. Almost every day, I baked a pie that I served not simply to my mother but also to the friends who came by daily to see her and say goodbye. They couldnt speak of her dying, but

Cut Bank Fees

UNLESS YOU KEEP your money un-
der a mattress, youre probably familiar with the high cost of banking. The average monthly service charge on a noninterest checking account is now $5.48, and at some banks, the average consumer who incurs overdraft and insufficient-funds charges pays $298 per year, reports the government office of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. There has to be a more affordable way, and there is: Shop for fee-free banks online at the trustworthy bankrate.com. Also, if you have an iOS or Android device, consider simple.com; its not a bank, but a mobile and Web bank replacement thatin part due to its low overhead (no brick-and-mortar branches)offers free checking accounts.

When you sign up for free with a minimum investment of $100 per month (any less, and you pay $3 per month in fees), youre asked questions about your time frame for retirement, goals, and risk tolerance. Youll receive a recommended portfolio of low-cost exchange-traded funds (known as ETFs, these are investment funds that are traded like stocks), which you can opt into, tweak, or bypass. Betterment also rebalances your money automatically if your portfolios allocations move too far away from your selected allocations. There are no extra monthly account fees or minimum investment requirementsyou pay only an annual asset-management fee, currently capped at 0.35%, and the ETF fees, which average 0.14%. Need to talk to a human? Itll be pricier, but communicating one-on-one with a person may help you make better investment choices. Personal capital.com can provide just that kind of advice from registered investment advisersover the phone, via e-mail, and through video chat. Theres no pushing product for commission here; fees are based on how much you invest, not where you put it. The cost is 0.95% per year when up to $250,000 is invested, and less if the amount is higher, versus the 1% to 2% of assets higherend financial planners charge.

realm last year. Some smart sites that can help you save: Auto Coverhound.com offers a simple way to shop for auto insurance. Type in basic info about yourself and your carand what youre currently paying for auto insurance and who provides it. Youll get quotes from multiple insurers in your area. The site even told me that my current insurance was actually the best deal, but Id be e-mailed if a better offer came around. And unlike at many other sites out there, its possible to purchase whichever policy you choose directly through CoverHoundno clicking over to the plan providers site and entering information all over again. Last step: Check the insurers complaint history at the site of the Better Business Bureau (bbb.org) and with your states department of insurance (go to ican2000.com/state.html). Term Life Though it wont win any design awards, term4sale.com is a useful and simple site that cuts through the clutter of offers out there. It lets you one-stop-shop for quotes from more than 100 life insurance companies. I plugged in a search for a 20-year term policy with a $500,000 death benefit for a female of exceptional health and was shown a $425 premium from A++-rated Guardian along w ith cheaper quotes from lower-rated companies. A link takes you to the plan you want to purchase. Home You can save hundreds of dollars a year in premiums by shopping around. A secret weapon for searching out lower rates is the comprehensive but super-simple-to-use site insweb.com. Enter the basics, and youll be offered quotes from up to eight insurers. Sure, you can use the intel to make a switchor, you could take it to your current insurer and say youve found some great deals. That company just might give you a discount to keep your business.

color equals an abundance of personality. That less-ismore philosophy is on full display at her familys 20-yearold Colonial in Walpole, MA, where the walls are white, the furniture is clean-lined, and the antiques are weathered. While the pared-down rooms are neutral, theyre rich with character and texturelike the cowhide rug, sea grass

The interiors are warm and welcoming, says McGuill, who wanted easygoing decor for husband Matt and sons Ryan, 21, and Casey, 19.

TRIMMED DOWN Hanging the same
baubles year after year? Beat ornament fatigue by pulling out only your greens, golds, and silvers, opposite. Bolster your collection with inexpensive balls in the same hues for a polished, in-palette eect.
IN THE LIME LIGHT Call it eco-chic: Rescue bottles from the recycling bin, give em a rinse, then cover the labels with leftover strips of gift wrap and ribbon remnants. Add a taper candle and enjoy the glow!
AN EVERGREEN IDEA Dress up your mantel with spruce seedlings (from the grocery store) popped into pails. Snag a garland and attach ornaments to it with oral wire for a sparkling swag in minutes.
FROSTED FRUIT Transform articial
edibles into a shimmering centerpiece: Coat faux pears, limes, and grapes with spray adhesive; roll in a bowl of three parts white and one part silver glitter. Let dry on waxed paper, then group on a cake pedestal or a footed bowl.

PartyPerfect Linens
Its as easy as pie to get em clean and crisp
Nab cobwebs along a chandeliers chain and arms with a long-handled duster; to wipe any crystals, use a cloth dampened with window cleaner followed by a dry one.
protect the surface Use trivets for hot serving dishes, and layer a table pad or a moistureblocking fabric (such as oilcloth) under your tablecloth.
LOSE the RING! To remove the ghosts of beverages past, place a thick towel over the affected area, then press for 10 seconds with a warm, dry iron; lift to check progress and repeat. The dry heat will cause the finish to release trapped moisture.
see spots go
smooth WRINKLES
remove wax
Unpack your tablecloth and napkins a week or so prior to the meal to check for stains. If you find any, presoak the fabric for several hours in GHRI fave OxiClean Versatile Stain Remover ($8 for 3 lbs., drugstores), then wash at the highest recommended temperature no scrubbing required.
Freshen linens with a quick wash and dry, then pull from the dryer while still damp; iron with spray starch to make crisp. Short on time? Spread linens over pads on the table and spritz lightly with Downy Wrinkle Releaser ($5 for 16.9 oz., drugstores); tug out creases.
Scrape off excess candle drippings with a butter knife, then lay folded paper towels atop and below the area and go over it with a dry iron on low heat the wax will transfer to the paper towels. Repeat as necessary with new paper towels; run the cloth through the wash before using.
let it SHINE Buff tarnished flatware and serving pieces with cloths like Carbona Silver Wipes ($5, carbona .com) for a quick, mess-free polish. Clean only what you need, plus an extra place setting or two as insurance.

to master the mess
CLEAR IT OUT
TAG IT Transform any container (cookie tin, mason jar) into storage with these labels ($5, seejanework.com) Pull everything out and set it on a nearby table to check for expired items and products that look moldy, dusty, or generally inedible. Toss anything thats past its prime.
CONTAIN IT
Instant Zen: Stash staples in matching bins
Sort your goods into
GLASS ACT The frosted sides of these canisters look chic, but you can still tell when one is running low ($3 to $10 each, IKEA)
BAG HANDLER A bright idea for stowing those plastic totes ($2, IKEA)
categories (ingredients for baking, dinner grains), and group them together as you fill the shelves. K eep daily-use items, like cereal or dog food, in the easiest access zone: between waist and eye level.

In Good
1
Hold the line
Mix and match, or get organized with just one
Dont use the pantry as a dumping ground for things like tools and cleaning suppliesthose items have a home elsewhere (and some arent safe to store near food!). Remove non-food-related items and keep em out.
2

Q
I have moths in my closetshow can I get rid of them without a chemical pesticide? I have two cats and dont want to use anything that could hurt them.
JUNE WILLIAMS, VIA E-MAIL
House Call
Heloise phoned Chris Mrsich of Haverstraw, NY, who asked via e-mail:
THERE ARE SOME natural things you
can try, but first you need to be sure you get rid of the moths that are there. Empty out your entire closet, shake out all the clothes (outside!), and dry-clean everything or wash and dry on the highest temperature that is safe for the fabric. Next, wipe down the shelves and baseboards with a solution of a few drops of dish soap in a moth hs gallon of water. Then, so the moths wont come back, seal up all cracks and other areas where they might enter. You can buy dried lavender, a natural moth repellent, at a cra f t st ore or online and use it to make sachets, which shouldnt bother your cats. I also add black pepper to mineits an old, old hint to help ward off moths and other bugs.

Then remove, sprinkle dishwashing detergent over the grease spots, and use a scrubbie sponge specifically designed for nonstick cookware to rub them away. If that doesnt do the trick, you can also try covering the areas with a paper towel, pouring on a little ammonia (a grease cutter), and placing the sheet in a plastic bag to contain the fumes while it rests overnight. The next morning, open in a wellventilated area; scrub with dish soap and a scrubbie sponge, then rinse well. HOW IT WORKE D The detergent worked. It looks so much better.

sinks require a bit of continual care to look their best. Im constantly wiping down my fridge to banish fingerprintsand nose prints from Cabbie, our mini schnauzer! Starting with a small area, try rubbing in some cream silver polish or even white toothpaste; go with the grain of the steel, not side to side. Then wipe with a damp cloth (water only), dry well, and take a look. If you see progress, move on to the rest. When finished, use whatever cleaner or polish is recommended by the manufacturer. Or try my old standby: baby (or mineral) oil. Dab just a little on a paper towel or soft cloth to go over the entire surface area; follow up with a clean cloth to polishthat should help to make the marks less noticeable.
I KNOW just what you mean; I use dry shampoo occasionally, and it does tend to leave some bunnies behind. What I do is run a comb (or an extra brush) through the brush to clean out hair and gunk. If you have more time, you can wash the brush rather quickly by pouring a small blob of shampoo on the bristles, running it under water, and rubbing with your fingers, a comb, or another brush to loosen whats stuck. Rinse well, shake, and place, with bristles down, on a hand towel to air-dry. Another quick fix: Pour a little rubbing alcohol on the brushitll dissolve the gunkand then run a comb through it. Thats it! The alcohol will dissipate in a few minutes, so the brush will be as good as new.
Heloise, help! I just spilled non-acetone nailpolish remover on my wood coee table and ruined the nish. Is there anything I can do to save it?
THE NOT-SO - GOOD NEWS: Other than refinishing the whole table, there really isnt a home remedy. However, you can try to darken and even out the places where the finish came off. First, dip a cotton swab into the same remover and gently feather the area around the spot so there is no major line of demarcation. Then try a trick I learned from my mother: Mix up some instant coffee (use just enough hot water to make a thick paste) and spoon it over the area you are trying to fix. Use a microfiber cloth to rub it in, going with the grain of the wood, and let set for several hours to stain the wood. Wipe up using paper towels, then buff dry with a clean cloth.

The Barefoot Contessas foolproof menu of simple, elegant dishes (and her genius 10-step game plan)
THANKSGIVING IS JUST MY FAVORITE MEAL! beams Ina Gartena.k.a. the Barefoot Contessa, as fans of her TV shows and cookbooks know her. But that doesnt mean her feast is a complicated affair. I use simple recipes, she says. Im not a trained professional chef. Im just a good home cook whos had a lot of experience in the food business. To prove that point, Garten has assembled for GH a no-stress but superb meal, from her savory Marcona Almonds to her famous Apple Crostataan easy alternative to pie. (Garten is all about fuss-free these days; her Barefoot Contessa line of saut-and-serve frozen dishes debuted this year.) So get ready for the Thanksgiving of your dreamsone during which you can relax and enjoy the day, though the food tastes as if you were up cooking it all night.

My Stress-Free Holiday Plan

Write out a menu, then go through and simplify it. If a recipe has a huge ingredient list, forget it. (Do you really need ve vegetables? No, you only need three.) Also think about what people dont eatnuts, for example. Can you make a crumble without nuts? You dont want to make a dish for each person; you want a menu everyone can eat. Never, ever test a new recipe on guests for any reason. This is particularly true on Thanksgiving, when theres so much to do. Make a game plan. I take a big piece of paper and write my timing on it, working backward. If I want to serve the meal at four oclock, I think, the turkey must go in the oven at noon, come out at three, and then rest for an hour. Then I look at the carrots and parsnips: Can I make them in advance? Yes, they can be reheated while the turkey rests. I pencil that into the schedule. I make sure that there are some things in the oven, some things atop the stove, some things I can make in advance and reheat, and some things I can serve at room temperature. Next, take every recipe and write an aisle-by-aisle shopping list. Put all the dairy in one column, all the vegetables in
another, and so forth, so you wont be racing around the store. I save a few perishables (e.g., raspberries) for the Wednesday before, but I get everything else a few days ahead. Do as much food prep as you can in advance, even just cutting the carrots two days beforeput them in plastic containers with a little water; theyll be perfect.
6 7
Set the table a day or so before. Get it out of the way. Also, if you have owers as a centerpiece, theyll look better when theyve fully opened.
For a quick centerpiece, put out a bowl of clementinesit looks gorgeous. I have a friend who adds dates, and everybody eats them for dessert [see our easy ideas, page 142]. I love to order cookies with peoples names on them as place cards. Theyre from Eli Zabar ($24 for six, elizabar.com). Skip complicated appetizers; just serve nuts, good olives, or gs and prosciutto with wine or Champagne. Ask each guest to bring a dessert. Theyll feel like theyre part of the team (and theyll enjoy their favorite sweet).

Our Triple-Test Promise
In our test kitchens at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, we create recipes that are familyfriendly, healthy, and easy. We test each recipe at least three times:
A GH recipe developer prepares the dish and presents it to the food team. We decide if it meets our high standards of deliciousnessbut thats just the beginning. For example, weeknight meals should take 30 minutes or less to make. The same person tests the recipe several more times to ne-tune it, using the same equipment. Another team member prepares the recipe as written, varying the brands of equipment and ingredients. (She may do this several timesusing an electric stove instead of gas, a lighter-weight pan, Hunts versus Del Monte tomatoes.) Note: All microwave tests are done in 1,000-watt ovens. If yours has a dierent wattage, you may need to adjust the cooking time. A third team member repeats the process using yet another set of equipment and alternative ingredients. By the time the recipes appear in GH, they are guaranteed to work on any range, with any brands of equipment and ingredients, in any kitchen. We promise.

Tasters loved the slightly sweet avor of this concentrated stock, which takes only seconds to dissolve in boiling water. Bits of veggies and herbs add to the homemade taste.

A friend brought me fresh white cornmeal from South Carolina. How can I use it?
ELAINE BOWEN, BAXTER, MN
LUCKY YOU! FRESHLY GROUND CORNMEAL has fabulous f lavor and can be used interchangeably with yellow cornmeal in recipes. Theyre both made from varieties of field corn, though white cornmeal is the classic choice for Southern cornbread made in a cast-iron skillet. (For my favorite recipe, go to goodhousekeeping.com /cornbread.) Worth noting: Cornmeal can become rancid in warm temperatures, so refrigerate or freeze it if youre not using it within a month; itll keep for up to a year.

IFESOLUTIONS 24 - HOUR
Self-Storage was located by an otherwise farmy and intermittently wooded stretch of two-lane near the New York border. With its overexpanse of parking, its high, barbwirecrested fencing, and its excessive security lighting, it brought to mind a small-scale penitentiary. Sara Tetwick Masoli was there to retrieve a roasting pan and maybe also (if she could gure out which box it was in) the china from her rst marriage, but the process plugging in her security code at the gate; plugging it in again on the keypad by the door; traversing the long, uorescently lit hallway, her echoing heel-clicks as loud as ricocheting bullets, to Unit 592made her mission feel weightier. She unbolted the thick brass lock and raised the overhead door. Oh, my, she said. She hadnt remembered the awesome bulk of it. Everything had been pushed toward the back of the 10' by 15' unit, for which shed been paying $59 per month for seven years, so it sloped upward from where Sara, feeling like an irresolute mountaineer, stood. She considered bailing on the whole chorethat was why they made disposable roasting pans, right? And the china, like everything from her rst marriage, was tainted anyway. Honey, she said to herselfin the weirdly over-colloquial and vaguely black/ Southern voice she often used when addressing herself in moments of indecision, as if she were equipping herself with her own personal Oprahyou can bail on this. But no, she decided. I cant. Its just stuff. Get over it, honey. Start digging. At 43, a mother of a teenager and a widow (she wondered if she wasnt a former widow, now that shed remarriedbut that seemed oxymoronic, like being a former amputee), something of the cheerleader Sara had been, back in Ohio, still clung to her: in the eln gleam of her smile, in the nervous utter of her laugh, and in the wheaty, sunlit color of her hairthe shade of blond youd see, chemically replicated, on women idling away their afternoons at the mall.

whod seeded her family tree. Her daughter, Alexis, used to say it smelled like apples or maybe celery. Something you eat peanut butter with. Her figure, short and supple, was not quite as naturala point of mild discomfort for her. Throughout her life shed never minded her small breastsdainty little knolls, no bigger than ice cream scoops, which disappeared completely under the gentle compression of a sports bra. Or at least shed thought shed never minded them. Her husband, Dave, who owned a successful debt-collection business, had suggested otherwise. A bit of surgical augmentation (his Valentines Day gift to her) would provide an incommensurate boost to her selfesteem, hed said. She still wasnt used to them. But Dave liked them. She supposed that was good, but a part of her didnt like his liking them. For years, since before her first marriage, to Brian, Sara had gravitated toward women who, like her, gravitated toward men in nance, but shed never felt she was one of them. Shed lived in Prague; shed had a decent, if stunted, acting career in her 20s (the unbalanced high points: her role as Anya in an off-Broadway revival of The Cherry Orchard and her appearance in a commercial for Coast soap in which, lathered in a shower, shed cooed, Ooooh, that scent!); and recently shed spent summer weekends working a cooperative farm share: She was different. But her upgraded breasts said otherwise. They introduced her before she could open her mouth, establishing (in her mind) the subjects of discussion: money and sex, both of which she found uninteresting, or maybe just overworn. If I were a roasting pan, she said to herself, where would I be? In response, the piled boxes merely stared back at her, unblinking. She hadnt visited the unit in yearswhy would they recognize her? She moved the topmost boxes that were closest to her from right to left, noting the brief descriptions of their contents written in blue Sharpie ink. alexis: dolls.

wanted to break into Wall Street. Varick was OK, she supposed, but just barelyit was mid-tier and wholly devoid of cachet. The great sin of parenting, Sara felt, was letting your children aim too low. Allow them to settle, and thats just what theyd do. Loose expectations were like junk food; kids just gorged themselves on them. her feet to make room, she opened the box marked brian. A picture of his face was the rst thing she saw: impossibly square-jawed, with those hard Clint Eastwood eyes above that overly cocky grin, a dimpled halfWindsor knot at the base of that thick, not-quite-loutish neck. He was staring up at her from a cut-out piece of newsprint, more yellowed and
(these words were cryptically written on two of them). Aha, she said, spying kitchen jotted on a box near the oor. It was too small to hold a roasting pan, but she opened it anyway. The box contained a citrus zester; a stainless steel cocktail shaker etched with the words MarketBolt Annual Meeting, The Scottsdale Princess, Scottsdale, AZ, August 1014, 2001; a pigtail-corded handheld blender; some individual tart pans; an analog meat thermometer; and a white apron emblazoned with the words Worlds Best Mom, never worn (never even unfolded from the crisp square it had come packaged in). It was nothing she needed. She ngered the apron, its virginate starchiness, its embroidered sentiment. She almost snorted at the idea of Alexiss giving it to her nowat the implausibility of it. Alexis would likely just bookmark the title with asterisks, the way she noted sarcasm in her text messages: *worlds best mom* whatever. At 17, Alexis was at the age when mothers come into view as tyrants or imbecilesor both. Just the night before, she and Alexis had had it out over college applications, over Alexiss mulish determination to attend Varick, where her father had gonealong with every other Long Island meathead who

She replaced the apron, moved on. What caught her eye, on the next box she lifted, was the handwriting. brian, it read, in unfamiliar blue cursive, and for a moment she failed to make sense of it. But then she remembered: Her sister Liz had packed up all of Brians stuff for her. I dont want to see it, Sara had told her. I dont want to have it; I dont want it near me. But Alexis might, Liz had said, adding gently, someday.

crispy than shed have thought it could be: It was his obituary, from the Portraits in Grief series the New York Times had run after September 11. Brian Tooney, the headline read. A Winner in Life, and Love. Brian Tooney hated to lose. Whatever the game, be it Monopoly or one-onone basketball or his latest passion, golf, he usually only lost once. And that was always the rst time he played, said his older brother, Robert. After that, hed hunker down somewhere to practice until he had everything down cold. Then hed come back and stomp you. That competitive streak made Mr. Tooney, who was 34, a natural t for Wall Street. He worked as a bond broker for MarketBolt, in the World Trade Center. He loved the charge of it, said his wife, Sara. On their second date, the couple bumped into a notyet-old ame of Mrs. Tooneys at a midtown bar. Mr. Tooney, shed later learn, tipped a waiter to accidentally spill a drink on the competing suitor, forcing him to beat a quick retreat from the bar. But Mr. Tooney had a soft side, too. His 10-year-old daughter, Alexis, brought it out in him most. If she scraped her knee and cried, his wife said, he cried, too. Almost every night, before bedtime, Mr. Tooney and his daughter danced together, usually to a Bruce Springsteen song. Thunder Road, Mrs. Tooney said, was their favorite.
the unit for her; it was she whod done the initial piling, which Sara, over the years, had supplemented with boxedup obsoletisms (like the zester, which had been displaced by a microplane). With a small huff, Sara transferred the box leftward in order to keep digging for the roasting pan, and then she paused. That had been seven years agoseven years and two months. And now she had Dave: the satisfying epilogue, the closure everyone had urged her to seek. She bit her bottom lip. Something drew her nearer to the boxsome archaeological allure, like uncovering a time capsule while digging in the garden. But this was her life, or shards of it, dumped into cardboard squares. What harm could there be in opening it at this post-closure point? Sighing, she sat dow n on the kitchen box, its top crumpling slightly beneath her weight, and after sliding some other boxes away with

the natural source. His constant stream of e-mail forwardsNew York Giants scuttlebutt, mostly, but also chain letters (typical Irish, he was superstitious to the point of paranoia) must have been sent regularly to a hundred or more addresses. It was password-protected, but that part was easy: Alexis. As Sara scrolled through his inbox, averting her eyes from the text of the e-mails to avoid conjuring Brians voice, she kept seeing one name over and over. On September 8, she noticed, there was a solid block of maybe 20 e-mails from a Jane L. Becker. her e-mail address, Jane L. Becker worked at Lehman Brothers; theyd met at a high-yield bond conference uptown) to the rst awkward postcoital note ( Are you OK? Im really sorry if things got a little too, um, crazy last night. Call me?) to the operatic, full-blown declarations that followed (I had no idea what love was until I met you. I feel like Dorothy discovering Oz) to the reams of hypersexed e-blather that caused Sara, weeping, holding back her hair, to vomit into the wastebasket under the desk (whatever it is you do with your tongue, kiddo, you should patent it).
The family had just moved, in June, to rural Sussex County, NJ, because Mrs. Tooney dreamed of raising horses. The commute was a killer, his brother Robert said. But if Sara wanted to raise penguins, he wouldve commuted from the South Pole. Thats the kind of guy he was. For a long time Sara stared at the newspaper, her eyes darting from the text to the photograph and back, as if struggling to reconcile them. She heard the faint creak of her front teeth grinding. Finally, she said, F--- you, Brian. And then it came back, as shed feared (when setting that box aside) but hadnt quite expected (when opening it). All of it: the initial splinter of that morning (Liz calling, saying, Turn on the TV); the way Sara had collapsed to the oor, rubbery and boneless, in perfect terrible tandem with the second towers collapse; Alexis in pigtails screaming Someone tell me! while Sara and Brians mother clung to each other in the living room, both of them incapable of speech; Brians fathers vigil in front of CNN, a single omnipresent tear trickling down his old prizeghters cheek; the 400 missing posters theyd printed at Staples, and the clerk who had glanced about for her manager before telling Sara there was no charge, go; the bobbing sea of yellow candles in Union Square; the smoke from the islands charred tip that went on and on, forever. All of which had felt endurable compared to what, for Sara, had come afterward. Brians brother Robert had suggested the memorial. He offered to rent out A.J. Byrnes, the bar on 52nd Street where Brian had taken Sara on their second date and where Brian and Robert had had a standing date, for Monday Night Football, during the NFL season. Invite everyone, Bass Ale (Brians regular) on the house, maybe have a slide show if they could all bear it. Thats what Bri wouldve wanted, Robert had said, and Sara had agreed. All Robert needed, he said, was an invitation list; hed do the rest. Brians Outlook address book struck Sara as

That Saturday, she remembered (because the days leading up to that Tuesday were engraved upon her memory), shed taken Alexis to her soccer game and then to a matinee of The Princess Diaries, and Brian had stayed home to catch up on work. When she saw the block of e-mails, she wasnt so much suspiciousat that time, Brian was the winged angel she spoke to in the dark, the vaporous essence suffusing the pillow that she fell asleep spo on i ng e ver y n ig ht a nd t hat sponged her 4 A .M. tearsas she was curious about the abundance. So, randomly, she double-clicked on one of Jane L. Beckers Saturday-afternoon e-mails, which read: I am completely worthless without you inside me. Seriously. I cant eat or sleep or work out or ANYTHING. What have you DONE to me, Brian Tooney?
to say she was stunned, as Sara would later tell her sister, trivialized the sensationthe overwhelming, airless, corporeal suck of it. Her stupor was so total that she didnt even register pain. Fortied by numbness, though aware she was making a spectacular mistake, Sara read, then printed out, ever y last one of Jane L . Beckers e-mails to Brianfrom the earliest irty messages (according to
Precisely why she was printing them, she didnt know, but she felt a pressing need to marshal hard, physical evidencemultipurpose, 8" by 11", 20-lb., 94-brightness evidenceto be collected and analyzed for some unimaginable but imperative prosecution. When Alexis woke up for school the next morning, she found her mother at the desk, never having slept, the overheating printer still whirring out page after page. As for Brians e-mails to Jane L.

a bottle of warm Chardonnay she emptied after tucking Alexis into bed, she e-mailed Jane L. Becker. From Brians e-mail account: Imagining Jane L. Beckers expression when his name appeared in her inbox churned Saras stomach with a toxic mixture of grief and glee. The TV in the study was tuned to CNN, on mute; that single portrait of the hijacker Mohammed Atta kept appearing on-screen, in what seemed like an endless loop. Yet somehow the sight of his face didnt rattle her. She didnt want to study it or spit at it. Mohammed Atta had murdered her husband; Jane L. Becker, on the other hand, had murdered her. Sara e-mailed her a single question: Why did you do thi s to me? At 11:49 P.M., three nights later, Jane L. Becker replied. All I can say is that Im sorry, she wrote. I am. He loved you. That nal sentence wounded her worst of all, because it was a lie even now, with Brian dead, with nothing whatsoever to be lost or gained, Jane L. Becker, this woman she knew only as a febrile swarm of words and emoticons, was lying to her. Because hadnt Brian written to her, over and over, in terse but tortured e-mailese, that he didnt love his wife (Sara was never Sara in his e-mails, only my wife ), that he was no longer in love with her, had conceivably never loved her (if you dened love as what he felt for Jane L. Becker)? After another bottle of Chardonnay, this one properly chilled, Sara wrote Jane L. Becker
unwilling to scrub the stains from it, to preserve the salvageable portions, shed justchucked it. When she and A lexis v isited Brians parents in Oradell, NJ, it was as if Sara was bringing A lexis to visit fond old neighbors, or relatives so distant that it stressed the brain to map the familial tiesand whenever Mr. Tooney brought up his lost son or fetched the old photo albums for Alexis, Sara would ee to the kitchen to remove herself, bodily, from the connection. In Saras carefully structured mind, Mr. and Mrs. Tooney were not quite Alexiss grandparents; they were vague obligations, suppliers of corned beef and hugs. It demanded erce mental acrobatics, this blotting of memory, but Sara had found it necessary. To do otherwise would have required confronting that inside-out world, or sifting through her 12 years with Brian to pan the truth from the lies without a single means of verifying which was which. Hed died, and then shed killed him. It had been the only way.
with an affected casualness, her body taut and angled, Sara ried deeper in the boxbut guardedly, with just two ngers of her left hand, as if fearful of an insect attack or some other, less palpable danger.

from disparate periods (Brian and Sara on the dance oor at Megan and Roberts weddingBrian voguing some comic disco pose and Saras hands clasped, her face elongated with laughter; Brian and Robert as sunburned teens, sitting in a canoe and making growly faces at the camera; Brian at the zoo with Alexis on his shoulders, a mushy Popsicle tangled in his hair; and Brian in his rst office, grinning, his feet on his desk, an unlit cigar between his teeth); a folded, unread copy of the Times, the inclusion of which made no sense to Sara until she checked the date (April 18, 1991: Alexiss birth); two MetroCards and a New York Giants ticket stub; and, deeper in the box, a clear plastic tube lled with collar stays, a felt box containing all of Brians cuff links, and a bottle of 212 by Carolina Herrera, his cologne. She swirled the bottle and stared at it. Why on earth had Liz saved it? Thoughtlessly, Sara spritzed her inner wrist, then brought it to her nose. Regretting this instantly, she rubbed at her wrist to erase it. She knew why Liz had thought to preserve it, and the realization pricked her. Liz thought she might want him back. Someday, as Liz had said, so softly. Unfolding a manila folder shed out from near the bottom, Sara frowned: Here was the playbill from Fosse, the Broadway show theyd seen together in 1998, when Brians mother had babysat Alexis and theyd spent the night at a hotel in the city; that evening had been a marital high point, and theyd even made love, again, the next morning, giggling like teens at their childless freedom. This time, with a faint roiling of her stomach, she didnt wonder about Lizs motiveswhy had Brian saved it? And here was the invitation Brian had designed for Saras 30th birthday, a surprise partyat the top were six head shots of Sara, scissored out of photos: Sara as a child, as a teen, as a backpacker in Europe, and so on. (Shed found one of the decapitated photos beforehand and, disturbed, confronted Brian. Something we need to discuss? shed asked dryly.) Here, too, was the room service menu from the hotel in Barbados where theyd spent their honeymoon. And their wedding invitation. And a clipping, 19 years old, from the Post s lukewarm rev iew of The Cherry Orchard, her maiden name proudly underlined. Confused, and stung by the parallels between this manila folder and her memory of another one the one shed lled with that awful dossier of Jane L. Beckers e-mails Sara dumped it all back into the box and sloppily resealed its cardboard aps. Enough, she said to herself, cursing herself for having opened it in the rst place. Scanning the boxes around her, she felt cornered by the blue writing on their sides, the letters seeming to glow and throb with an almost menacing exigence. brian:

There had been no corpse, and no ashes identied as Briansonly his abrupt, traceless absence, and the smoke curling upward from lower Manhattan like that from a smoldering cigarette, and the stray brown hairs and lingering beery sweat-scent on the pillow of his that she clung to and had even kissed, not softly but passionately, in those few pure days that had separated the 9/11 attacks from Jane L.

prised Sara, this realizationthat Brian was here, in this climatecontrolled tombclawed at her, pushing her back out into the hallway. When a door opened at the end of the hall, shattering the quiet and admitting a cold squall of outside air, she emitted a sharp, brief shriek, clutching a hand to her chest. From down the hall, a short, round man in a bulky black overcoat stared at her. Sorry, he said, waving. We didnt mean to scare you. Sara waved back with a pageantlosers synthetic smile. Just startled. This was a mistake, Sara scolded herself. This entire errand. She should have known betterbut how? Shed just wanted her roasting pan. After rolling the units door back down and relocking it, she held the door to the outside open while the man, followed by a morose, lanky teen, hauled in a white dresser of the disposable berboard variety sold at IKEA. Thanks a lot, the man said, gasping for breath as he squeezed past her. Put it down over here, Bobby. The teen didnt acknowledge her as he passed, save for the furtive, appreciative glance he gave her breasts. For a moment, she stared at the dresser: at its chipped edges, and at the faint wrinkles and blisters in its veneer, puzzling over why they were interring it here. It was certainly no keepsake. When she glanced at the man for a clue, he was bent over with his hands on his knees, as if defeated by the task. Something in that pose made her wonder if the dresser had belonged to yet another dead pharaoh, and if they were bringing it there to be entombed like Brians golf trophies. She noticed
a sticker of a pink unicorn affixed to one of the drawers and, with a shudder of dark imagining, wondered if the man had lost a daughter. Something Alexis had mentionedabout one of her classmates ipping her car on Route 94 the weekend beforecame reeling back into her head. And when she looked again, the boys torpid, bored expression appeared to her mournful instead, an adolescent/macho mask obscuring torrents of confused grief beneath it, and the man appeared not just defeated but crushed, his limp neck suggesting an imminent, weepy collapse. Flooding with pity, she released the door and moved two hesitant steps toward the manto help him with his load or perhaps, if indeed he crumpled, even embrace him. But when he lifted his head, revealing a wide grin spreading across his face, his cheeks as round and red as Gala apples, she immediately realized her error. Hey, Bobby, he said to the boy, casting a curious sidelong glance at Sara hovering just inside the doorway. Do your dad a favor, willya? Never get fat. I mean, look at meI gotta sit down.

Back in her car, with suburban New Jersey passing by in familiar glints of big-box-store signage and sootsmeared snow and the pointillistic red speckles of brake lights, she felt feeble and childish for having ed her own storage unit, for having imagined the boxes of Brians stuff to be some kind of paranormal Ark of the Covenant, and, most of all, for having bought the same damn roasting pan shed gone to the unit to fetch. She comforted herself, just slightly, by noting that the new roaster had an anodized nonstick bottom, unlike the stainless steel bottom of her old one, and that, as a bonus for spending more than $200, shed received, for free, an All-Clad cast-aluminum au gratin pan. Sara wasnt sure shed ever use the pan, but its presence in the backseat, as she steered the car toward home, made her feel that, in some small but signicant way, shed come out ahead.

BLESSINGS
WorldMags.net
The kids whod accidentally started Th the fire turned themselves in early on, with their parents beside them. Then wit firefighter wrote a letter to the local a fi paper, about how carefully the boys pap had tried to put out the fire. The ha flames had been extinguished, but fla embers were still burning underem ground. The boys hadnt known this gr could be a fire danger. Theyd left. co After that, even as townspeople continued to share their loss and c p pain, they also told stories of their w worst teenage mistakes and transg gressions. We rarely think our way o out of these tight, dark places. S ome t i me s a s a c om mu n it y, t though, we take an action together, and somehow something gives. A picnic was held to honor the f iref ighters. The whole tow n turned out. The president of the boa rd of f iref ighters gave a speech, but at the very end, he dig digressed from what you might have expected him to say. He talked about how in ancient times, people who did damage to a town were sent to live outside its walls, beyond community, beyond inclusion and protection. He mentioned the four young men who had started the f ire, and that he had heard that their families were thinking of moving away. His opinion was that the town should make it clear to the families that they should stay, that they were wanted, that they were needed. There was sustained applause. People whose houses had burned down came up to say they agreed with this plan. The town wanted these young men inside the ring of protection. When you see a community coming together after a catastrophe, the round-the-clock efforts to save whatever can be saved, you realize the secret of life is patch patch patch. Thread your needle, make a knot, find one place on the other piece of torn cloth where you can make one stitch that will hold. And do it again. And again. And again.
After the Fire

How do you jiggle a miracle out of rage, terror, ghastliness, ash, grief, and teenage boys?

learned that people are impossible, even the ones we love le m mostespecially the ones we love most. Theyre prickly and set in their ways. So we keep our distance, at one with a o our own thoughts. Still, hope tends to appear when we see that all sorts of disparate personalities can come tos g gether. The manicured lady looks beautiful beside the m motorcyclist with neck tattoos, both filling boxes with d donated food for Thanksgiving dinners. Only together do we somehow keep coming through seemingly unsurvivable i losschanged but intact. Fifteen years ago, there was a devastating fire on the long, majestic ridge above the coastal town where my family used to go for seafood dinners. Four teenage boys from town had camped on the mountain overnight, illegally, had built a campfire, buried it under dirt when they left in the morningand caused a blaze that destroyed 12,000 acres of wilderness area and nearly 50 homes. Helicopters saved the others by dropping water on the forest between town and the burning ridge. The loss of wildlife was unimaginable. It was as if a bomb had fallen.
