After supporting appearances in two Best Pic-ture Oscar winners in a row—Argo (2012) and 12 Years a Slave (2013)—McNairy, 37, turned to the small screen for a starring role in Halt and Catch Fire, AMC’s series about the ’80s comput-er boom, returning for its second season tonight. You play Gordon Clark, a computer engineering genius, in Halt and Catch Fire. In real life, are you tech-savvy? “I do know electronics, somewhat. I used to rip out and install car stereos, car alarms, anything I could take apart in the garage. I messed with a solder-ing iron, but if I can’t physically touch it, mechanics are hard for my dyslexic brain to process.”

Do you talk to kids with dyslexia to inspire them?“This summer, I’m going to speak at the Shelton School of Dallas (Texas) that I attended for dyslexia—my nieces go there now and both my brothers went there—and tell them what I went through, all the things that the school taught me and how it helped me later in life.”

Because reading was difficult for you, did it make you more appreciative of mu-sic? “I love music. Every time I hear the band Flor-ence and the Machine, something about their music gives me chills.”

You moved back to Texas from Los Ange-les. Why? “I personally feel more creative and a lot more inspired liv-ing out in the country, where there’s nothing that can infect my process or get in the way of it.”

WALTER SCOTT’S

Q: What’s my favorite Jersey boy, Bobby Can-navale, up to these days?

—Carlos M., Orange, N.J.A: Cannavale, 45, should be packing people into theaters this summer. He plays De Luca, the villain in the comedy Spy, op-posite Melissa McCarthy, opening June 5. Then he’ll co-star with Paul Rudd in Ant-Man, in theaters July 17. “I wake up every morning and go, ‘I can’t believe I’m still getting to do this,’” says Cannavale, who began his acting career 25 years ago.

Disneyland has been bringing smiles to more than 700 million guests since it � rst opened its

gates in Anaheim, Calif., on July 17, 1955. As Walt Disney (see “National Treasures,” page 8) once said, “There’s nothing like it in the entire world. I know, because I’ve looked.”

So how does “the happiest place on Earth” celebrate such a milestone? With a year-long Diamond Celebration that kicked o� this month. Here are just a few of the ways Disneyland is making the magic bigger and be� er than ever before.

1. Why did Walt Disney choose Anaheim for his park? One reason: Annual rainfall there averaged only one inch a month, drier than much of surrounding L.A. County. 2. Adult admission to the park was just $1 when Disneyland fi rst opened—and it cost just 25 cents to park a car! 3. There were 17 main attractions on opening day—today there are 60+.

4. Legend has it that spooky spirits roam the park at night. Ghosts have reportedly been seen in various locations, including the Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain and even Walt Disney’s apartment above the Fire Hall in Town Square.5. What’s the Disneyland attraction with the longest offi cial name? The Disneyland Story Presenting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.

6. Tallest structure: Matterhorn Mountain (147 feet)7. Got time? Look for more than two dozen clocks and other timepieces throughout the park that tell the wrong time, or no time at all, including one in the Haunted Mansion marked with only one hour: 13 o’clock. 8. While in line for the Indiana Jones Adventure, pull the rope marked “Do Not Pull Rope!” (You’ll hear a surprise.) 9. The iconic Jungle Cruise ride was inspired by the Humphrey Bogart/Katharine Hepburn movie The African Queen. 10.

Say that at 2 p.m. on May 31, 2015, the tempera-ture is 60 degrees in my backyard. Now suppose that on the same date and time, the temperature is 90 degrees instead. All other conditions are iden-tical. At which tempera-ture is the risk of sun-burn greater?

—John P., Maynard, Mass.

Surprise: They’re the same. Air temperature has no ef-fect on the strength of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation that reaches the ground, and it is UV rays that cause sunburn and contribute to skin cancer. Instead, major factors are the time of day and year, the elevation of the location, the thickness of the ozone layer over the area and the cloud cover that day.

TORNADOESTwister season is here, and it pays to be weather-

wise. The author of the new book What Stands in a Storm shares tips to keep you and your family safe.

By Kim Cross

| CHEAT SHEET |5 WAYS TO STAY SAFE IN A TORNADO

6 | MAY 31, 2015

Though official tornado records only date back to the 1950s, twisters have fascinated people since long before Benjamin Franklin

chased one—on horseback—in Maryland in 1755. These rapidly rotating columns of air are produced by less than one percent of thunder-

storms, but they don’t just form in so-called Tornado Alley in the Midwest and Deep South. “Tornadoes have been observed on every conti-

nent and in every American state at every hour of the day and in every month of the year,” says Charles A. Doswell III, Ph.D., a meteorologist

and severe storms research scientist. Twisters are rated on the Enhanced-Fujita scale from EF0 (the mildest) to EF5 (the

strongest), based on the damage they leave behind.What causes tornadoes? We’re still learning. Scientists

know the atmospheric conditions present when twisters form (see “Wind 101,” right), but the exact recipe is

unknown. A tornado watch means tornadoes are likely, while a warning means it’s time to

take shelter. Weather radars scan the skies, but a tornado isn’t confirmed

until a person sees it. That’s why meteorologists also rely on a nation-

wide network of 290,000 volunteer “storm spotters” trained

to identify signs of torna-does (such as strong

rotation) and report “ground truth.” To be-come a storm spotter,

visit nws.noaa.gov/skywarn and find

a class near you.

“Every home needs an NOAA Weather Radio so you won’t miss the warnings. And good smartphone apps designed to pass along severe weather warnings are a

great alternative, like MyWarn or WeatherRadio.”

—James Spann, award-winning meteorologist for ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, Ala.

1. Don’t rely only on sirens. Take cover if you do hear a siren. But be aware that sirens typically warn across entire counties (and may not apply to your exact location) and often can’t be heard inside. Instead, get a weather radio (with a cellphone charger) and a GPS-based weather app that will wake and warn you if you’re in the path.2. Avoid mobile homes and cars. These are two of the most dangerous places to be in a twister because they’re unstable and easily destroyed. Get out of the car or mobile home and into a building or an underground shel-ter. Overpasses provide little protection. Only as a last resort, lie in a ditch or depression, cover-ing your head, until it passes.

Award-winning journalist Kim Cross is the author of What Stands in a Storm: Three Days in the Worst Superstorm to Hit the South’s Tornado Alley (Simon & Schuster).

3. Get as low as possible to ride out the storm. A basement or underground storm shelter is ideal. Otherwise, find a small, windowless room on the low-est floor near the center of the house.

4. Cover up. Wear a hel-met and shoes, and get under a sturdy piece of furniture or a mattress to shield yourself from flying debris.

5. Stay in touch. If you lose power, receive and share warnings via your smartphone or social media: Update via Twitter and Facebook, watch livestream TV coverage and text family when phone lines are overloaded.

Everybody knows exercise is good for your health. But there have been recent reminders

of the importance of being care-ful—particularly if you’re using exercise bands or treadmills. In January, a resistance band sent U.S. Sen. Harry Reid flying into the furniture, causing serious injury to his eye. And treadmill-related accidents are at an all time high. RESISTANCE BANDS These elastic strips used for strength training and stretching are “notorious for snap-ping and hurting people,” says Sa-brena Merrill, senior exercise sci-ence consultant for the American Council on Exercise and a fitness trainer in Kansas City, Mo. Always do a quick check by running your hand down the length of the band or tube to check for nicks or small tears, which may be too tiny to see, she says. Keep bands and tubing away from the heat and out of the sun, which can weaken them. And toss old or damaged gear. TREADMILLS To up your safety, “know where that emergency stop button is before you even turn the thing on, and don’t be afraid to use it,” says Merrill. Double-check that your shoelaces are tied. And for happy joints, it’s better to increase the incline, not your speed (which hikes impact), as long as your heart can handle it. —Marianne Wait

u The documentarian/history-keeper makes us think about who we are, why we are and what binds us togetherAmerica’s premier documentary fi lmmaker, Ken Burns, 61, has spent most of his adult life exam-ining what makes our country tick. He certainly

knows about Amer-ican treasures—his work, which began with his 1981 doc-umentary on the Brooklyn Bridge, continues to lead him to an endless number of them, including baseball, the Civil War, jazz, Mark Twain, Lewis

and Clark, Prohibition, World War II, our national parks and the Roosevelts.

“An American treasure ought to be something that resonates with all of us,” he says. “� e Latin motto of the United States is E pluribus unum, which means ‘Out of many, one.’ I see the idea of an American treasure as something that reminds us of the things we share in common, not the things that separate us.” (Go to Parade.com/kenburns to read our full interview.)

His upcoming projects include fi lms on country music; baseball great Jackie Robinson, who broke the sport’s color barrier; and Vietnam.

“We can appreciate the fact that we have a com-plicated past and a complicated present,” he says. “� ese ‘treasures’ reinforce our dedication to always making things better, to improving, based on that mysterious phrase in the Declaration of Indepen-dence, in ‘pursuit of happiness.’

“Americans are restless and unsatisfi ed and com-petitive and striving toward that ultimate goal,” he adds. “We are always ‘in pursuit’ of happiness. � ese treasures allow us to reinvigorate our creed. � ey let us keep our eyes on the prize and go forward together, not as a fractured world, with everybody buried in their own device, be it a smartphone or a computer, oblivious to the rest of the world. � ese are our anchors.” —Neil Pond

America has a lot to celebrate. We’re the country of front porches and potato chips, Converse sneakers and John Deere tractors. We

invented the National Park System that protects 84 million acres of wilderness. We brought the world the clear-eyed

innocence of Scout Finch and the joy of the high fi ve. We’re the birthplace of

brilliant dreamers who change lives in wide-ranging ways. And we’re the country that declared more than 230 years ago that

all people are created equal and have a right not only to be free but also to be happy. Here, Parade highlights

a few of the uniquely American people, places and things that make us very, very happy.

u Its words are a permanent reminder of the values underlying the American republic“It’s the seminal statement of the Ameri-can promise,” Pulitzer-Prize-winning historian Joseph Ellis says of the 1,340-word document that dissolved America’s ties to Britain. The Declaration is 239 years old, yet most Americans know its most famous sentence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” � e Dec-laration lives in the National Archives, visited by over one million people a year.

“Once upon a time, sixty years ago, a little girl lived in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, in a little gray house made of logs”Laura Ingalls Wilder’s life story, fi ctionalized in the Little House on the Prairie books, is “the American story,” says Nancy Koupal, director of the South Dakota State Histori-cal Society Press. “She brings the huge American westward move-ment down to the level where everybody can understand it.”

Potato ChipsIt’s true: Nobody can eat just one At Moon's Lake House re-sort in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., “Saratoga chips” fi rst sizzled to life in the summer of 1853. Now 86 percent of Americans eat them every year, a percentage matched only by France.

u 45 feet tall, big and brash and unmistakable First constructed in 1923 as an ad for an upscale hous-ing development (the letters, illuminated with 4,000 light bulbs, spelled out “Hollywoodland”), the sign is one of the most identifi -able tourist attractions in the U.S. It’s come to represent “anybody’s dream of making it in life to whatever their lofty goal might be,” says Hollywood Sign Trust chairman Chris Baumgart. What started as a sales ploy became something else in 1949, when the city of Los Angeles decided to remove L-A-N-D and send a message about the strength of the fi lm industry with a towering H-O-L-L-Y-W-O-O-D. “� e sign started out as one thing and became enormously successful as another,” Baumgart says. Which is pretty American too.

The heroes of dime-store novels and Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West shows, and immortalized in mov-ie westerns (John Wayne, anyone?), cowboys em-body the independence and individualism Ameri-cans value.

Paul Simon calls him “the composer of his generation” With 22 Grammys, membership in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Kennedy Center Honors and countless other awards, Stevie Wonder looms over American pop music. A child prodigy, he recorded his fi rst No. 1 album at 13 and now, at 65, has sold more than 100 million records. His songs are the soundtrack to our lives, from wedding staple “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” to the driving funk of “Superstition” to “Isn’t She Lovely,” which he wrote to celebrate daughter Aisha’s birth.

u A place for community building and watching the world go by Front porches have been part of American architec-ture since Colonial days. Other cultures have them, but no one else has embraced porch life as wholeheartedly. �e front porch is “the interface between the private world and your commu-nity,” says Claude Stephens, founder of the Professional Porch Sitters Union. Front porches dropped in popularity when radio, TV and automobiles wooed people away. But they’re making a comeback: 63 percent of single-family homes in 2013 had porches, up from 42 percent in 1993. �e front porch is “a way of thinking about the world,” Stephens says. “We use it as a verb: ‘Would you like to come over and do a little porching?’ ”

John DeereThe green and yellow logo is instantly recognizable. It’s so central to our history that when the Smithsonian Institution chose 101 “Objects that Made America” (out of a collection of 137 million), John Deere’s plow was in the mix. And who hasn't seen the ubiquitous green and yellow tractor, a favorite in small town parades everywhere?

Walt DisneyThe creator of the iconic multimedia empire (read “Disneyland Turns 60,” page 4) touched “the child in all of us,” says Kirsten Komoroske, executive director of the Walt Disney Family Museum.

u Every American is “a co-owner of some of the most spectacular places on earth” Our National Park System protects more than 84 million acres in all 50 states, as well as in Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories. “For the first time in human history, land was set aside, not for the rich, but for everyone and for all time,” says filmmaker Ken Burns. �e Grand Canyon, the peaks of Alaska, the hills of the Shenan-doah—it’s ours, all of it. �e system even protects places of historical significance like Sand Creek in Colorado, where U.S. troops massacred a village of Cheyenne and Arapaho. “We have been unafraid of not only sharing with the world the glo-ries of our natural wonders and our inspiring past, but also cul-pability for some things which have not gone particularly well,” Burns says. “�at’s how a great nation goes forward.” —N.P.

Martin Luther King Jr.He dreamed that one day his

children would “live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the

content of their character.”

ESAn American lesson in being your own personIf Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird is “our national novel,” as

Oprah Winfrey has called it, then Scout Finch, the young narra-tor, is our national heroine. “Scout is a feisty girl who doesn’t see things in black and white; who believes in her town and loves her family and struggles to find her way. These are all very American things,” says Mary McDonagh Murphy, author of Scout, Atticus, & Boo (Harper), who can’t wait to read Go Set a Watchman, the

recently discovered Harper Lee novel coming out in July.

Walt DisneyThe creator of the iconic multimedia empire (read “Disneyland Turns 60,” page 4) touched “the child in all of us,” says Kirsten Komoroske, executive director of the Walt Disney Family Museum.

u Every American is “a co-owner of some of the most spectacular places on earth” Our National Park System protects more than 84 million acres in all 50 states, as well as in Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories. “For the first time in human history, land was set aside, not for the rich, but for everyone and for all time,” says filmmaker Ken Burns. The Grand Canyon, the peaks of Alaska, the hills of the Shenan-doah—it’s ours, all of it. The system even protects places of historical significance like Sand Creek in Colorado, where U.S. troops massacred a village of Cheyenne and Arapaho. “We have been unafraid of not only sharing with the world the glo-ries of our natural wonders and our inspiring past, but also cul-pability for some things which have not gone particularly well,” Burns says. “That’s how a great nation goes forward.” —N.P.

Arthritis Sufferers Seek Pain Relief Alternatives

It’s an indisputable and unfortunate fact of

life for arthritis sufferers: oral pain medications

for arthritis, including over-the-counter pain

relievers and anti-infammatory medications,

carry a long list of potential side effects. Just

look at the warning labels on any of these

medications, and you will be amazed by the

problems that could arise.

Of course, most people who take these

prescription or over-the-counter medications

don’t think twice when they’re in pain.

Whether they think the negative side effects

only happen to other people or they simply

want relief, popping a pill is an easy thing to

do. Unfortunately, even the over-the-counter

medications that have been used and trusted

for decades can pose health risks if misused,

taken at the wrong dose or relied upon for

a long period of time.

Topical Products Growing in Popularity

News reports about these risks have many

arthritis sufferers looking for alternatives,

which can be found in some topical pain relief

products, like creams or ointments. But not all

topical pain relievers are created equal.

Some of the most widely used topical

products contain capsaicin, which is an active

component in hot peppers and has a warming

effect on the skin. Others use menthol, which

has a strong odor. According to the FDA, some

products with these ingredients have caused

skin irritation in rare instances. These products

are typically associated with sports-related

injuries or muscle pain, but many people use

them for arthritis.

The Secret Weapon for Arthritis Pain

One standout product in the pain relief aisle

is something of a surprise: Australian Dream®

Arthritis Pain Relief Cream. Australian Dream

was introduced years ago as a safe, effective

treatment for arthritis pain. In the last few years,

the product has gained rapidly in popularity,

becoming a best seller at many retailers.

Unlike other topical pain relief products,

Australian Dream has no odor, no greasy resi-

due, and it does not burn the skin. It is a gentle,

soothing cream that effectively relieves arthritis

pain wherever you put it – your hands and oth-

er joints – without the side effects of some oral

pain relievers.

Australian Dream works differently from

most pain relievers – topical or oral – but it

is real medicine that provides real pain relief.

Its active ingredient triggers vasodilation, or a

widening of the blood vessels in the treated area,

to increase circulation. This is actually one of

the body’s natural ways to relieve pain.

With all these benefts, it’s no wonder that

Australian Dream has become so popular in

recent years. Here’s one more beneft, and it’s

quite possibly the most impressive: Australian

Dream is backed by an exclusive Empty

Jar Guarantee®. If you are not completely

satisfed, you can send back the empty jar for a

full refund – no questions asked.

Australian Dream Arthritis Pain Relief

Cream is available for purchase at retailers

everywhere, including Walmart, Walgreens,

Target, CVS/pharmacy, Rite Aid and also in

many supermarkets. Learn more about the

arthritis relief secret and fnd a store near

you at AustralianDream.com.

u A most distinctive American gesture It all started when excited rookie outfielder Glenn Burke ran over with his arm in the air to his teammate Dusty Baker after he hit his 30th homer for the Dodgers in 1977. Baker wasn’t sure what to do, says Mark Lan-gill, Dodgers team historian, so he slapped it. Now there’s even a National High Five Day.

Vietnam MemorialIt changed the way we mourn The Vietnam War was “the most divisive experience of the 20th cen-tury in the U.S.,” says Jan Scruggs, founder and president of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. “People were angry at the war and unable to separate the war from the warrior.” The black granite Memo-rial, with 58,000+ names, changed that, he says. More than 400,000 items —including Purple Hearts, notes and boots—have been left at the memorial, which is visited by 4 million+ people each year.
