WALTER SCOTT ASKS ...

MARK HAMILLDoes Rachel Weisz have any plans to do a movie with husband Daniel Craig? I would love to see them together.

—Deanna D., Greenwich, Conn.

A: The British-born Oscar-winning actress, who is currently in theaters playing the daughter of Michael Caine’s character in Youth, has several projects coming up, including a fi lm adaptation of the best-selling book The Light Be-tween Oceans with Michael Fassbender, set for release next year. But to see her with Craig, currently on-screen as James Bond in Spectre, you’ll have to go back in time. Weisz, 45, and Craig, 47, met in 2010 on the set of the thriller Dream House, in which they co-starred. They married a year later. They also performed together on Broadway in a sold-out production of Betrayal in 2013.

They’re famous for TV and movies, but if you’re headed to New York this holiday season, watch for these stars in plays on the Great White Way.

NIGHTS ON

Luke Skywalker—and the actor who played him—from the original Star Wars trilogy is back! Hamill, 64, will reprise his classic role as the Jedi legend in the highly anticipatedStar Wars: VII—The Force Awakens, in theaters Dec. 18.

Are you allowed to tell us anything about The Force Awakens? “In a word, no. They’re trying to preserve the surprise and the secretsinstead of having it all come out on the Internet. I’ve never been on a movie where you have to go from your trailer to the set in a big robe with a hood on. I’m like, ‘Why is this necessary?’ And they said, ‘Drones.’”

Did you keep any of the toys or souvenirs from the first Star Wars movie? “On the fi rst fi lm, I asked if I could keep my boots and the Stormtrooper helmet that I rescued Princess Leia in. Ironically, those things, especially the helmet, were made to last for 10 weeks

of shooting and have really deteriorated over the years. The commercially made toy Stormtrooper helmets are much higher in quality.”

What was it like coming back to work with Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher? “You know how you bump

into people you went to college or high school with and it’s just like nothing has changed? That’s the way it is with us. I call them Harry and Carrison, because I love them like family.”

What is it about Star Wars that makes people so passionate? “I think it parallels The Wizard of Oz: It’s total escapism from their lives, and they’re trans-ported to a world that they like better than their own. Or they’re just indulging in their fantasies.”

What was Frank Sinatra’s fi rst movie? I say Anchors Aweigh in 1945, but my brother says no.

—Jim G., Philadelphia, Pa.

A: Sinatra, who would have turned 100 on Dec. 12, made his fi rst movie ap-pearance (as an uncred-ited crooner) in Las Vegas Nights (1941), and had his debut “acting” role in Higher and Higher, a 1943 musical also starring Jack Haley and Michèle Mor-gan. Anchors Aweigh was his eighth movie.

What Star Wars character did Mark Hamill really want to play? Go to Parade.com/markhamill to fi nd out.

There’s no issue of Parade more talked about than our annual springtime edition featuring real people, jobs and

salaries. Here’s a sneak peek at some all-star earners.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson plays a photographer in the new movie Life. Is photography one of his hobbies in real life?

—Janet D., Hackensack, N.J.

A: Not really. In Life, currently in theaters, Pattinson, 29, portrays Life magazine photographer Dennis Stock, who developed a friend-ship with actor James Dean in the 1950s. Pattinson did carry around a camera for a while after the movie had fi nished shooting, clicking here and there. But he wasn’t very happy with the results and “kind of lost interest,” he says. Apparently he was much better at playing a photographer than being one.

With a range of philanthro-pies almost as wide as her show business accomplishments, Parton continues to work to make the world a better place in many ways beyond her music. Here’s a partial list of causes close to her heart.

Q: Do you think algebra should be required in our schools?

—J.N., Vero Beach, Fla.

I believe algebra is essential. It’s pure logic, and all stu-dents need to learn how to think, not just what to think. When studying algebra, they learn how to reason with facts and without bias. (I’m assuming students learn why various operations should be performed, not only how to perform them, but this is a matter of how well the sub-ject is taught, not whether it should be taught to everyone.)

One can’t progress in most sciences without algebra, of course, but let’s say we don’t mind young people deciding at an early age (algebra starts in middle school) that they don’t want to pursue a career that involves math concepts. Should they be allowed to skip algebra? (Af-ter all, they’ll use little, if any, algebraic formulas in their daily lives.) No, they shouldn’t. Studying algebra builds brain-power. Do you go to the gym because you think you’re go-ing to use elliptical trainers or rowing machines at work? No, you go there to be more physically fit for everything you do. That’s why algebra is so important for all students. It helps them become intel-lectually fit for life.

Q: I tried melting wax in a microwave, but it didn’t even get warm. Why not?

—J.W., Cary, Ill.

Microwave ovens target the water in food in order to heat it. Waxes have no water, so they don’t get hot. (Metals are different—although they also have no water, the behavior of their surface electrons may cause the microwaves to be reflected and arc inside the oven, which can damage it.) To melt wax, you need a double boiler for effective-ness and safety. Never try to melt wax with direct heat, such as placing it in a pot on a range top. The temperature can rise quickly at a certain point and produce extremely flammable vapors. Also, hot wax may spatter.

freeze as I dropped to my knees and patted the ground in search of a popped contact. Disposable lenses reduced my stress levels by half.

Over the years, my vision grew steadily worse until I had to spend the equivalent of a mortgage payment to get spe-cial-order thin eyeglass lenses. More stress. You can imagine my hysteria, for example, when our 3-month-old puppy mangled a pair of glasses that had cost more than our new hot water tank. “Honey, honest,” my husband insisted, over and over, “nobody sees the duct tape.” In light of this history, you might think I would be thrilled to learn that I was eligible for a surgery that would give me X-ray vision. But cataracts sounded way too close to cata-combs, in my paranoid opin-ion. And I also was unsettled by the age (decades older) of fellow patients in the surgeon’s waiting room.

Seeing the Girl Inside� e fi rst surgery was on my left eye. I waved farewell to my husband in the waiting room, squinting to get one last look.

Ninety minutes later, I walked out and shouted, “Wow! Look at you! And you! And you! You’re all in color!”

I had no idea how much I had been missing. For the fi rst time since 1963 I could see the tips of autumn leaves on the highest trees.

� e morning after my sec-ond surgery, I opened my eyes at sunrise and watched the shadows dance on our bed-

room ceiling. I’d never seen them before. � is was more than I knew to imagine.

� ere’s a lesson here, of course. My fear of aging had encroached on my willing-ness to embrace change. I had vowed that I would celebrate the experience and wisdom that come with age, but I was starting to act like someone with an expiration date.

After my surgery, I recalled a conversation with author Toni Morrison during a dinner at Oberlin College. I had forgot-ten she was in a wheelchair that evening until I dug out the picture of us. She was so gracious and strong that I re-membered her as tall too.

Morrison, who is in her 80s, said that each of us, regardless of our chronological age, is a precise, younger age inside. I knew immediately what she meant, but it took this change in my life to remember.

On the outside, I’m a 57-year-old grandmother whose fi rst steps out of a chair mirror the gait of a gestat-ing yak. On the inside, I’m a 36-year-old dreamer who twirls her hair when she’s thinking and lip-syncs to Aretha Franklin when no one is watching.

I lost sight of her for a little while, but I’m so happy to see that she’s back.

Connie Schultz is a Pulitzer Prize–winning writer and the author of two books, Life Hap-pens: And Other Unavoidable Truths and ...And His Lovely Wife.

My optometrist delivered the news with a gentle smile, but there was no softening this blow.

“You have got to be kidding,” I said, slumping in the elevated chair. “Cataracts? At my age?”

Her reassurances passed in a blur: Yes, 57 is young—fi rst time I’ve heard anyone say that—but a lifetime of asthma drugs had cast an early cloud over my vi-sion. And cataract surgery is no big deal anymore. “Every week,” she said, “baby boomers beg me for this diagnosis because the outcome is so amazing.”

I stared and said nothing. � en she uttered those 10

magic words: “You probably won’t have to wear contacts or glasses anymore.”

And just like that, the clouds parted and a choir of nasal voices started singing Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young.”

The Nearsighted LifeI was 9 years old when I got my fi rst pair of glasses. My mother helped me pick them out, which is why I walked out of the doctor’s offi ce looking like a 50-year-old fi fth-grader. � e blue cat-eye frames matched my eyes, Mom insisted.

For the next fi ve years, I left for school bespectacled—and yanked off the glasses as soon as I was past our neighbor Mrs. Hutchinson’s kitchen window. She had a habit of ratting me out to my mother, I learned early. (Don’t get me started on the Winter Boots Scandal.)

When I was 16, I begged my father for contact lenses. He thought inserting a piece of glass into my eye was the most ridicu-lous thing since bell-bottoms. Maybe he knew that I would spend the next seven years bark-ing at everyone around me to

Here’s how health care experts and others are fighting antibiotic-resistant bacteria—and what you can do. | CHEAT SHEET |

C. diff One of the most dangerous, Clos-tridium difficile kills more than 15,000 people a year in the U.S. and leaves another 450,000 seriously ill. What makes C. diff particularly creepy is that the bacteria essentially thrive on the antibiotics used to treat them. Progress: A Stanford University team has identified a compound called ebselen that interferes with toxins produced by C. diff. And several manufacturers have vaccines in clinical trials.

CRE In a headline-making hospital out-break last year, two patients at UCLA’s Ronald Reagan Medical Center died and 179 were exposed to one of the deadliest-ever superbugs, CRE (carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae). While the numbers were small, the incident set off

alarm bells because CRE kills nearly half of all those who get it. Another eek factor: The superbugs were transmitted via

endoscopes used in ERCP, a diagnostic procedure that 500,000 people

undergo each year. At the moment, CRE kills 600 people a year, but re-cent reports show it’s been detected

in health care facilities in 42 states. Progress: Clinical trials of a CRE

treatment are in the works.

MRSA Eighty thousand people a year contract the highly resistant Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Good news: Deaths from MRSA have declined 30 percent from a high of almost 19,000 in 2005. Progress: The CDC reports an 8 percent decrease in hospital-onset MRSA between 2011 and 2013. And MRSA pre-vention practices are improving.

HOW TO STAY SAFE(R)1. Take antibiotics only when abso-lutely necessary—but finish them. Most flus, colds and ear infections are caused by viruses, which don’t respond to antibiotics. “Every time you take an antibiotic, you increase your own resistance, and the chance that at some point, when you really need one, it won’t work,” says Stanford profes-sor David Relman, M.D., a member of the Working Group on Antimicrobial Resistance for the President’s Council of Advisors in Science and Technology. But when you do need them, take the entire prescription. Otherwise, some bacteria may be left behind—and may mutate in response.

2. Switch to antibiotic-free meat. Farmers dose animal feed with anti-biotics to help pigs, cows and chickens get fatter faster—a major contribu-tor to antibiotic resistance. The good news: Subway and McDonald’s are making the move to join Chipotle in offering antibiotic-free meat.

3. Spend as little time in the hospital as possible. Germs can attach to the metal and plastic surfaces of tools, tubes and implants.

4. Get vaccinated. Studies show that the pneumococcal vaccine, developed to prevent pneumonia, meningitis and ear infections, is a strong deterrent to superbugs. It’s linked with a 62 per-cent decrease in antibiotic-resistant cases of pneumonia, meningitis and bloodstream infections.

SUPERBUGS

As recently as 70 years ago, a cut could be deadly. All that changed with the introduction of penicillin, but the honeymoon was short-lived.

Bacteria turned out to be shape-shifters, mutating to defend themselves against one antibiotic after another, then self-selecting so the stronger bacteria were the ones that survived.

“For the first time we have bacteria that are resistant to all of our antibiotics, where we don’t have anything that can

fight these things,” says Arjun Srinivasan, M.D., associate director for Healthcare Associated Infection Programs for the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-tion (CDC).

In fact, some experts fear that super-bugs could be more deadly than cancer by 2050 if left unchecked. But medical research, health care advances and patient education are making inroads. Here’s what you need to know to join the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Chris Hemsworth has beena demigod, a hunky fairy-tale huntsman and a For-mula One racing champ.

But none of those roles were any-thing like Owen Chase, the first mate of the ill-fated whaling ship Essex, whom he plays in his new movie, In the Heart of the Sea, based on the true seafaring saga that inspired novelist Herman Melville to write Moby-Dick.

“I got swept up in the story,” says Hemsworth, 32. “Humans tested to absolute extremes: It was a big challenge.

“I had come from Australia to America trying to be this type of actor,” he continues. “�is was the first film that gave me an opportunity to take a risk, to be who I want to be. It really was the first film where I just let it happen. It came from inside me.”

As Hemsworth lunches at a hotel in Boston, he’s not far from the historic whaling town where the Essex set sail in 1820, as depicted in In the Heart of the Sea. �e film, helmed by Oscar-winning director Ron Howard, hits theaters Dec. 11 and co-stars Benjamin Walker, Ben Winshaw, Brendan Gleeson, Cillian Murphy and Tom Holland.

‘I wanted adventure’“Before I knew I wanted to act, Iloved movies, books, storytell-ing,” Hemsworth says, speaking with a soft Australian accent. “But I didn’t love school, sitting still, starting and ending each day doing the same thing at the same place. I wanted adventure,

and acting is the one thing that keeps surprising me.”

Adventure is what he has earned in spades since 2007, when he was discovered by Hol-lywood manager William Ward and moved from Australia to Los Angeles. Until then his notable credits were appearances on a Down Under TV soap and an appearance on Australia’s Dancing With the Stars. (He didn’t win.)

Hemsworth lived with Ward for six months until he began landing movie roles, starting with CA$H and Star Trek, followed by �or, the Marvel blockbuster that made him an international heartthrob and marquee top-liner. His enormous appeal grew quickly with starring roles in �e Avengers, Snow White and the Huntsman, Red Dawn, Rush and, this year, Avengers: Age of Ultron. It is an astonishing run of hits in only six years.

Camaraderie at seaIn the Heart of the Sea has sur-prisingly little sex or skin for a movie starring a man who last year was declared the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine.

“�at’s in the past!” Hems-worth says, laughing. “Seriously, in the beginning of the shoot it occurred to me that this wasn’t about [Owen Chase] and his wife—this was about him and the whale.”

Much of the movie was filmed on small boats on the ocean, set at a point in the story after the main vessel is destroyed by a great whale. “Once we’re in the whaleboats, we couldn’t get off and on,” he says. “We devel-oped real love for one another. �ere was such camaraderie in that and a sort of gallows humor,

like in war. I’ve never left a film and missed a cast so much. It reminded me of playing football back home, where you’re shoul-der to shoulder with those guys.”

Director Howard agrees. “�is was a labor-of-love movie,” he says. “�ese guys talked about the journey they went on, the joy and the sacrifices they made. It was an experience. It’s one of the kinds of things I look for when I’m trying to choose a project. It doesn’t mean it has to be in an exotic place or it has to be physically trying, but I want it to test me in some way too.” (See “�e Direc-tor’s Chair” on page 14.)

Hemsworth has nothing but praise for his director.

“He’s the greatest!” he says of Howard, with whom he worked previously while portraying champion race car driver James Hunt in Rush (2013). “Our two films taught me why people put themselves in situations with a high probability of death. I love the questions stirred up within me. As long as I can be a part of films that force me to ask bigger questions, then fantastic! I can come away having learned some-thing about myself and about life. In doing films like Sea, I’m satisfying a deeper, creative side of myself.”

A rugged childhoodHemsworth was born in Mel-bourne and spent much of his childhood in the dry, rugged Australian Outback in the North-ern Territory, where his mother, Leonie, was a schoolteacher and Craig, his dad, worked for child protection services.

“My parents ran the commu-nity center—basically one shed with everything from milk, flour,

canned foods, whatever, to the post offi ce,” he recalls. “We’d get a little mail plane that’d come in every two weeks. We were one of two white families. My brother Luke and I were the only white kids at school. It was 50 kids of all ages in two classrooms.”

Today, Hemsworth’s brothers, Luke, 34 (Infi ni), and Liam, 25 (� e Hunger Games movies), are both actors. His parents live on Phillip Island, a rural, sea-sonal resort community near Melbourne. � ey work for the Australian Childhood Foundation, a philanthropic organiza-tion that works to prevent child abuse. It is a charity he actively supports.

“Before I married and had kids, I felt like I could live forever,” he says. “’I could overcome anything. I live with more fear now.” Five years ago, he married Spanish-born actress Elsa Pataky, 39. � ey have three small children, daughter India Rose, 3, and twin sons Tristan and Sasha, 21 months old. � eir initials, and his wife’s, are tattooed in the Nordic runes on his arm.

Life in the slower laneBy celebrity standards, he and Pataky appear to have an unusually successful mar-riage. � e key to it, he says, was getting out of the Los Angeles spotlight.

“In the space of three years, we had our kids and simultaneously my career was happening, and every-

thing changed. We’d leave the house and there would be six paparazzi out in front,” he says. “In L.A., more than anywhere else in the world, paparazzi are ev-erywhere, 24/7. We felt suf-focated. � e agitation you feel from the paparazzi rip-pled in the house.”

He and his family now

live on Phillip Island near his parents.

“It’s just a quiet little surf town with a lot of farming, an hour and a half outside of Melbourne,” he says. “� ere are other things in my life now—family, kids. I don’t want to have to be in

the position where I care if the phone stops ringing. I’m

OK about potentially not acting. � at just may be me trying to convince myself in case it does happen, but I’ve always been weirdly aware of that.”

So far he has nothing to worry about. He is already signed to roles in future fi lms, including � e Huntsman: Winter’s War, Ghostbusters and � or: Ragnarok.

Lesson learned“Do you know what’s been the greatest lesson in having kids?” he asks. “For the fi rst time, it’s

not about me anymore. � is internal dialogue about my own boring story isn’t at the forefront of my thoughts. It’s about them now, their welfare. If I make a fi lm, what is that going to allow us to do? What is it going to give them? � at’s been really refreshing, I’ve got to say, be-cause it’s so easy to become self-centered, particularly for me in this business.” � e temptations children of the famous often con-front are self-entitlement, unearned privilege, lack of accountability, fake friends

Howard, 61, fi rst became famous as a child actor, portraying Opie on TV’s The Andy Griffith Show in the 1960s, but grew up to become a movie director whose critically acclaimed fi lms include Apollo 13, The Da Vinci Code, Frost/Nixon, A Beautiful Mind and Rush. Here are fi ve interesting facts about the Oscar-winning director.

1. He loves working with Australian actors.“I’ve had the chance to direct some out-standing Australian actors, and whether it’s Cate Blanchett or Russell Crowe or Nicole Kidman or Chris, they have this in common: a work ethic that says they’re going to throw themselves in there [and] work their asses off.”

2. He’s avoided the water—until now. “I wanted to do a movie set in the ocean for a long time, even though I don’t like to sail and don’t like the water and the ocean, frankly, scares me. But there’s a lot of drama there. The human experi-ence has been defi ned and tested in a lot of ways by its relationship with the sea.”

3. He fi lmed much of In the Heart of the Sea in open water, with the actors in small boats.“They’d be stuck in these whaleboats for, like, fi ve hours at a time. Once in a while, there’d be someone with their back to the camera . . .‘Oh, they’re taking a leak—give them a second.’”

4. He wants the movie to reach audiences on several levels.“This has a chance to entertain people. It can shock them a little, inform them a little. It’s an adventure story . . . very raw and very real and very emotional.”

5. He’s not sorry he left acting.“I enjoyed acting. I had some great mo-ments, but from the time I was young, I wanted to be part of telling the whole story. It was more the story I was inter-ested in than my role in it.”

and drugs. How does Hemsworth plan to protect them?

“A couple years ago I asked my mum about that,” he replies. “ ‘How are my kids going to learn good values? We now have mon-ey; how do I raise them to appre-ciate things?’ She said, ‘I don’t think money matters as long as you love your kids.’ It’s a very simplistic idea. I think it’s true because, looking back, it was the way they treated us—as equals—and the love they gave us that made my brothers and me who we are. It wasn’t the fact that we didn’t have money.”

He says he’s the happiest nowa-days when he’s with his children.

“Last week, we were in the car driving somewhere, and my little girl was in the back seat with me,” he says. “I was really tired, and I leaned over and I put my head on her lap, without even thinking about it. I just wanted to lie down a little bit and sleep because it was a 40-minute drive. And she start-ed patting my head and singing a song through her pacifier. I don’t even know what song it was. It was. . .” He hums a few bars of something. “I looked at my wife, who was in the front seat, and she had tears in her eyes.

“There’s the idea that we as par-ents spend all this time protecting our children,” he adds. “No, I think they’re protecting us. Sitting in the car with my head on her lap and her singing to me, there was this understanding of, ‘Wow, she’s looking after Dad, and that’s her job.’ You know? And that was such a joy. Oh, there’s noth-ing better! It was the happiest moment of my life.”

Turns out fatherhood may be his biggest adventure of all.

Three out of four dollars donated in the U.S. come from individu-als like you, and total charitable giving this year is expected to be

up over last year’s $358 billion. As we head into the holiday season—a time when Americans give an aver-age of 40 percent of their yearly do-nations—here’s how to ensure that your gifts will make a real difference and that you have your ducks in a row come tax season.

1. Be strategic. “The fi rst thing most donors do wrong is to give to a charity because they are asked, either by a friend or the charity itself,” says Sandra Miniutti, vice president of marketing and CFO of Charity Navigator. “We advise fl ipping that scenario upside down and being proactive about deter-mining what you are passionate about." Take inventory in your head and heart about the two or three causes most important to you. Next, fi gure out if you want to give nationally, globally or locally. Then do a quick search online, drilling down by organization type and location. “Be very specifi c,” Miniutti says.

2. Look under the hood. “Since you are likely making an investment that is meaningful to

New Hope for Seniors with Bruised, Fragile Skin

During the past 30 years, the average age

of my patents has increased signifcantly. A

frequent concern among my senior patents

is their fragile skin and its tendency to

bruise. Mature skin naturally becomes more

prone to bruising due to factors like sun

damage, decreased blood fow, and even

thinning of the skin.

As we age, the protectve layer of fat

under our skin starts to deplete. This layer

helps act as a cushion when we’re young-

er, keeping blood vessels from breaking.

However, aging skin has less of a cushion,

so bruising happens more easily. This makes

the skin more susceptble to even minor

trauma, and can even result in tearing of

the skin.

Another part of aging is the need to take

more medicatons. Many types of medica-

ton, both oral and topical, can turn bruising

into a bigger problem. Many common pre-

scripton and over-the-counter drugs have

a blood-thinning efect. Bleeding under the

skin from broken capillaries may take longer

to stop, making bruises bigger and darker

than they would have been otherwise.

Medicatons that contain cortcosteroids

can cause the skin to thin with frequent use,

whether taken orally or topically, making it

easier for bruising to occur. Sun damage can

have a similar efect, with UVA rays causing

a breakdown in elastn and collagen, leading

to more easily damaged and bruised skin.

There haven’t been many optons to re-

duce the appearance of bruising for patents

with this type of skin conditon – untl now.

A NON-PRESCRIPTION FORMULATION

I’ve been impressed with a non-prescrip-

ton topical product that was developed

specifcally to improve the appearance of

bruised skin – DerMend® Moisturizing

Bruise Formula. The proven ingredients in

DerMend’s patented formula – including

retnol, alpha hydroxy acid, ceramides and

Arnica montana extract – can rejuvenate

mature skin and help restore and maintain

the skin’s natural protectve barrier.

I’ve been recommending DerMend for my

senior patents with thin, fragile skin and

chronic bruising, and the results have been

very promising. My patents notce that the

appearance of their bruised skin seems to

improve more quickly.

I’ve found that DerMend works best when

used twice a day over the entre afected

area, especially on arms and legs, where

bruising is most likely to occur. And, for best

results, I recommend using DerMend on a

regular basis to help rejuvenate and restore

the skin’s natural barrier.

If you’re stll concerned or have ques-

tons about your bruising, consult your

dermatologist.

Aging is a fact of life. However, we can

help slow some of the consequences of it.

If you want to improve the appearance

of bruised skin, DerMend can help. To

learn more, visit www.DerMend.com.

DerMend Moisturizing Bruise Formula is

available over the counter at Walmart,

CVS/pharmacy and Walgreens.

you, whether that is $10, $100 or $1,000, you want to make sure you have done your homework first,” Miniutti says. Here’s how: Re-search the charity’s financials and ratings at charitynavigator.org, guidestar.org, charitywatch.org or the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance (give.org). For big charities, visit their web-sites to read their annual reports.

“Don’t depend on just one source—a board member you know, a rating service or what-ever—to decide how a charity operates,” says Eileen Heisman, president and CEO of the National Philanthropic Trust, a public char-ity that provides philanthropic advice to donors, foundations and financial institutions. “Get at least three sources of information.” Remember to double-check the organization’s name (some lower-rated charities have names that mimic those of higher-rated ones) and check the charity’s privacy policy (to make sure it will not sell your name to other groups).

3. Get up close and personal. Call the charity, contact a board member and, if it's local, go on a site visit or volunteer. “There is nothing more powerful than going to the front lines to see what a charity is do-ing,” says Heisman.

4. Consider fol- lowing the leader. Heisman says one smart trick is to pick a business person or even a foundation you think has a great approach to giving and see what causes they are giving to. “Believe me, they are doing a lot of homework,” she says, “so piggyback onto that knowledge.”

5. Learn about the tax deduc-tion status of your donation and keep good records. Under IRS rules, if you want to claim a deduction, you need to document all of your cash donations with a canceled check, credit card state-ment, bank statement or written

acknowledg-ment from the charity. If you donate $250 or more, get a receipt from the charity giv-ing the value and date of your gift and a verification that you received no goods or services in return. Also note: When you do-nate a vehicle, the IRS will check to make sure you did not overstate its value.

6. Don’t be afraid to take a risk. “A lot of people think you should only give to the tried-and-true, but just because an entity has been around for a long time doesn’t mean it’s good—or bad,” Heisman says. “Sometimes scrappy, entrepreneurial organi-zations come up with great, fresh solutions.”

7. Don’t spread yourself too thin. “If you have $1,000 to give, pick three charities and divide the money among them; don’t pick 10 charities and give $100 to each,” says Heisman. Charities have high overhead, so if you give a small amount to a lot of charities, a higher percentage of your donation will be eaten up by administrative and fund-raising costs.

8. Don’t feel you have to go it alone. Consider pooling your re-sources. “A lot of people don’t give because they think they can’t give enough,” says Jennifer Iacovelli, author of the new book Simple Giving (Tarcher Books). One ef-fective way of giving is to put together a group of friends, family members or co-workers, decide on a monthly donation (say, $5 each) and meet throughout the year with the goal of donating to a cause that resonates with all of you, she says.

“Ilove giving a gi� that has a story,” says Gail Simmons, judge on the Emmy Award–winning

series Top Chef. (Season 13 premiered last week and airs Thursday nights on Bravo.) These gluten-free cookies are a delicious example. “They were a recipe passed down to me by my mother's best friend, my aunt Sue, who is my guru when it comes to baking,” she says. “They come from someone whom I admire so much from my childhood, and that's what makes a gi� like that so special.”

Made with a generous amount of melted dark choco-late (the dark stu� with 70 percent or more cacao is the healthiest) for a rich ba� er, these cookies are crispy on the outside with a chewy, fudgy center. But take care, says Simmons, “they're addictive!” —Alison Ashton
