BEYONCÉThe star, 31, is the voice of Queen Tara in the 3-D computer-
animated family � lm Epic, in theaters May 24.
Q: When you were voicing your character, did you still go
to the studio glamorously dressed? —Joyce O., Buffalo
A: Absolutely! I had to become Queen Tara, and she’s glamorous and strong. I’ve always wanted to play a queen. And she’s more than that; she’s fi erce and powerful. Q: If you had to describe yourself in four words, what
would they be? —Anne E., Pawtucket, R.I.
A: Let’s see … loyal, ambitious, adventurous, and loving. Q: Did becoming a mother make you closer to your mom? —Monica B., Lawrence, Kan.
A: We’ve always been close, but now I really appreciate everything she’s taught me, and I pass her life lessons along to my daughter [16-month-old Blue Ivy]. She’s a great mother and grandmother.Q: Which artist would you like to perform a duet with? —Kathy W., Seaford, N.Y.
A: I was blessed to have recorded with Justin Timberlake recently and, years ago, with the late Luther Vandross. I would love to work with Adele and Bruno Mars. Q: What’s your favorite food on tour? —Tim R., Aledo, Tex.
A: Since I dance onstage for two hours every day, sometimes I can have my favorite—pizza!
what their climate is like and the goods they have,” says Michele Clapton, the Emmy-winning costume designer for the HBO show (Sundays). “I collect images all year, from plant life to jewelry. Contem-porary architecture even inspired the armor.”
Q: Where does the cos-
tume designer from Game
of Thrones get her inspira-
tion? —Sid A., Alba, Mich.
A: “Everywhere! First, I think of the characters and
Q: In Anne
Heche’s new
show, Save Me,
her character
has a near-
death experi-
ence. Has she ever
had one herself?
—Erin Z., Dallas
A: Says the actress, 43, “My character almost dies while shoving food in her face after a night of drinking. Have I had nights like that? Yes. She thinks she has a direct line to God; there are moments when I needed that!” Save Me premieres May 23 on NBC.
Q: Did Linda Cardellini
have to keep the role she
plays on Mad Men a
secret? —Meg P., Aspen
A: Yes; producers practi-cally kept it a secret from her! “I didn’t know what I’d be doing,” says the actress, 37, who plays Don Draper’s mistress on the AMC drama (Sundays). When she fi nally read the script, “I thought, ‘Everyone will hate me. Don [Jon Hamm] cheats again, and it’s with me!’ It was fun to shock everyone, though!”

Chef of the Year Derrick
Davenport catches a rare
moment of relaxation in a
Pentagon kitchen.
© PARADE Publications 2013. All rights reserved.
It’s 11:30 a.m., and Derrick Davenport has been cooking for almost four hours. He’s made fl ounder and scallops with quinoa and arugula salad. Whipped up sweet potato soup with squab. Roasted lamb loin and served it in mushroom sauce with butternut squash
puree and Edam cheese fritters. Baked mini chocolate-buttermilk cakes, doused them in Chambord and ganache, and topped them with milk chocolate cream. Now, after piping on some meringue and toasting it with a kitchen torch, he ferries the dessert into the dining room, where three stone-faced judges wait. Davenport carefully sets a cake in front of each one, the last course he’s presented this morning. The judges look profoundly unimpressed. ★ It might sound like an audition for Top Chef, but in fact Davenport is a senior chief petty offi cer in the U.S. Navy, one of 18 culinary specialists chosen to compete for the title of Armed Forces Chef of the Year. The 20-year-old competition takes place at the Joint Culinary Center of Excellence in Fort Lee, Va., where the military conducts most of its food services training. Each

contestant must make and serve four courses in four hours using a basket of challenging ingredients, which (as on programs like Chopped) aren’t revealed beforehand. Still, for all the ways the competition re-sembles a reality show, this isn’t entertainment—training and testing cooks is something the military takes very seriously.
Napoleon famously said that an army marches on its stomach, but military cooking has never had much of a reputation—more associated with mess hall slop than roast lamb. World War II–era K rations included a lemon beverage powder so disgusting that servicemen used it to clean fl oors.
“If you had told someone in World War II that we’d be having a competition to fi nd the best military chef, they’d have laughed at you,” says Paul Morando, the director of the U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum, who studies the history of getting supplies to troops in the fi eld. “Historically, army rations were not the best-tasting meals you could get.”
In fact, until the early 20th century, the U.S. military didn’t train cooks at all. Cooks were recruited, or whichever soldier had the inclination (or the orders) to warm up the beans just did it. But by the time World War I rolled around, military offi cials had begun to realize they needed a system—trained cooks, after all, are schooled in food safety. “In the early days, food poisoning was common,” says Sgt. Maj. Mark Warren, winner of the 1994 Armed Forces Chef of the Year and now a judge in the competition. “You can take a casualty in the chow hall or on the battlefi eld. It affects readiness and morale if you lose a soldier to food-borne illness.” And, he adds, there’s that other reason military cooks take their jobs to heart: “The last meal a soldier gets could be his last meal.”
“Every [military] campaign, there’s a change in how soldiers are fed,” Morando says. “But the fact that the armed forces has a culinary

competition? That shows how far we’ve come.” Which brings us back to Davenport. The 37-year-old is generally
soft-spoken and reserved, but with bread dough in his hands, he becomes demonstrative and chatty, completely in his element. Watching him roll croissants is like watching Miguel Cabrera swing for the fences—swift, practiced, effortless.
It’s not surprising that one of Davenport’s earliest memories is of baking a loaf of challah bread with his grandmother when he was just 7 years old. Eddie Beatrice Davenport—a.k.a. Big Mama B—was an accomplished baker and cook; as a child growing up in Detroit, Davenport gravitated to the kitchen to be with her. He remembers leafi ng through her cookbooks and cooking magazines, the television always turned to Julia Child or the Galloping Gourmet.
By the time Davenport was in high school, he was sure of two things: He wanted to cook, and he wanted to serve his country. After graduating, he studied culinary arts at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, Mich. There, a chef instructor who had been in the navy regaled him with seafaring stories, further piquing Davenport’s interest in military life. After spending seven years as a restaurant cook (including a stint at the Detroit Ritz-Carlton), he enlisted in the navy in 2000.
Davenport was stationed fi rst on the USS Annapolis, a fast-attack submarine that carries only 150 sailors—he calls it the Smart car of subs. From the ship’s tiny kitchen, Davenport turned out full meals. “It was like cooking in a broom closet,” he says. “I’d have to make white or wheat bread, hamburger buns, hot dog buns, submarine rolls, then make a pastry for breakfast. … It becomes a juggling act.” He made do, using empty cereal bags to pipe frosting and making massive quantities of bread by hand when his mixer broke out at sea. He also became known for a dish called Wicked Chicken, which he describes as the chicken breast version of a buffalo wing, but spicier.
Five years later, Davenport was sent to Afghanistan. His mission: Help the Afghan National Army in Herat set up a mess hall. Every day, Davenport walked two miles to the Afghan side of the base and its rudimentary kitchen—no refrigeration, wood-burning ovens—
toting a Dari and Farsi phrase book and his 9mm rifl e.
Some of the 50 Afghan soldiers knew how to cook, but Davenport helped them develop military-style sanita-tion and portioning. The meat came fresh from the local market, daily. “We’d get a whole lamb in on the back of a pickup truck, still warm from a kill,” he remembers. “I had to teach them proper ways of butchering. They were pretty much just hack-ing away at it on a tree stump,

Davenport’s paternal grandmother, Eddie Beatrice Davenport, had nine children.

so we got them cutting boards and showed them how to cut it in a more manageable way.”
By the end of his yearlong deployment, Davenport had helped set up the Afghan Army’s fi rst bakeshop, which turns out fresh naan every day.
Still, some might ask why food service should be any army’s priority. Surely the Afghan Army has bigger fi sh to fry?
Davenport has a ready answer. “We play a huge role in the morale of the force,” he says, noting that home cooking is good for soldiers in more ways than one. “If they have a good meal, they’re going to perform their jobs better.”
Of course, in the military, some meals are better than others. If troops are on the move, they’re often eating portable Meals-Ready-to-Eat, or MREs. But at a larger base, the dining facilities closely resemble those you’d fi nd at a
college, with salad bars, burger griddles, and custom omelet stations. When Starlett Henderson’s husband returned from serving in
Bosnia, she realized, to her shock, that he actually missed the dining hall. “You don’t think of soldiers coming back spoiled,” says Hender-son, cofounder of the Army Wife Network and a former army offi cer. “But after his deployment, Hamburger Helper on a Thursday night wasn’t good enough for him anymore!”
Corrie Blackshear was an army evacuation medic for eight years, from 1997 to 2004. “People are always surprised that the reason I don’t like lobster is that I got tired of it on deployment in Kosovo,” she says. She also remembers having some of the best Middle Eastern food of her life on a base in Kuwait. “It’s more than nourishment. It’s spiri-tual nourishment,” she says.
“These are not the days of Beetle Bailey anymore,” says Warren. “The soldiers we get today have grown up with Emeril, Rachael Ray, Iron Chef. … There’s a stigma that military cooking is institutional and generic. But society has a higher expectation for chefs today. And I’d put our chefs up against any in the industry.”
In fact, holding military chefs up to private industry standards is one of the benefi ts of the Armed Forces Chef of the Year competition, which is sanctioned by the American Culinary Federation, a civilian organization. The hope is that well-trained military chefs can compete for civilian jobs when their service ends. Today, Davenport—along with Billy Daugette, an army staff sergeant who won Armed Forces Chef of the Year in 2011, and two other culinary specialists—is sta-tioned at the home of Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Davenport and the others cook some meals for him and manage his household—a job that includes throwing elaborate dinner parties for visiting foreign chiefs of defense. In many ways, it’s akin to running a fi ne restaurant—overseeing budgets and personnel, always looking for new ways to please their clients.
In June, Daugette is joining the army’s Training With Industry program, which will place him in a California country club kitchen for a year before sending him back to Fort Lee to teach other military

duties with grad school, pursu-ing his master’s degree in busi-ness administration at Sullivan University. He doesn’t know when he will retire from the military, but when he does, he’d like to teach cooking and maybe open his own restaurant, with “Michigan meets French meets southern” fare.
But for now, he’s happy to say he put as much effort into feeding the recruits on the sub as he does preparing meals for the highest-ranking offi cer in the military. The food he’s making now might be fancier, but nothing quite compares to the satisfaction of seeing that a crew of homesick sailors eats well. “Some of the best compliments I’ve had were back on the boat,” he says. “You’re away from home. You don’t think you’re going to get a meal like your mom or grandmother would make.” But if Davenport’s on board, you certainly will.
Back at the 2013 Armed Forces Chef of the Year competition, the
judges were much more impressed with Davenport’s cooking than they let on. He wins, cementing his reputation as one of the best cooks ever to come out of the navy.
Davenport allows himself a brief moment of fi st-pumping celebration (“I was like, ‘Yes! Finally!’ ” he says in his understated way), and then it ’s back to work. When it comes to turning chow into cuisine, it seems Davenport isn’t ready to come off the front lines just yet.

At what age is it possible
to check the IQ of a baby or
very young child? —Berik R.,
Toulouse, France
Tests aren’t reliable before the age of 4 or so, and even afterward, they will tell you mainly what you already know—that your child is faster or slower than usual, or somewhere in between. (Plus, the best tests must be administered individually by a trained clinician, which is costly.) Intelligence can’t be measured like height or weight, so IQ numbers, at any age, will only label a child unnecessarily, some-times harmfully. The tests are useful for certain applica-tions but not as routine assessments of individuals, least of all small children.

night. Other airlines then
drop their prices to stay
competitive, and this price
matching usually happens
by 3 p.m. Eastern time
on Tuesday. Be sure to act
fast: By Thursday, most
of the discounted fares
will have been snapped up
or pulled.
3 What’s the most impor-
tant thing you can do to
ensure your safety in
an emergency evacuation?
(a) Wear shoes
(b) Count the rows between
you and the nearest exit
(keeping in mind, of course,
that the nearest exit may
be located behind you)
(c) Pack important medica-
tions in your carry-on bag
Answer: Both (a) and (b).
You should pack crucial
meds in a carry-on in case
checked luggage is lost,
but don’t try to grab it in
an emergency—doing so
will only slow down an
evacuation. Counting rows
allows you to fi nd an exit
by feel if visibility is low.
And don’t ditch your shoes
(ideally closed-toe fl ats)
mid-fl ight. “You’ll need
them in the event of an
evacuation on the ground,
potentially in rough ter-
rain,” says Emily McGee,
director of communica-
tions for the Flight Safety
Foundation.
4Which seat on the
plane is statistically
the safest?
(a) Right next to the
emergency exit
(b) Anywhere in the
fi rst row
(c) In the back, next to
the bathroom
(d) All of the above
Answer: (d). “Statistically,
there isn’t really a way to
5What was the
busiest air travel
day of 2012?
(a) Nov. 25
(b) July 20
(c) Dec. 24
(d) Dec. 31
Answer: (b). According
to the Bureau of Trans-
portation Statistics (BTS),
summer is typically the
busiest time of year for air
travel. The most likely
reason, says Dave Smallen,
BTS director of public
affairs, is that winter holi-
day travel tends to involve
more driving than fl ying.
6You’re most likely to
arrive at your destina-
tion on time if you fl y
on which of these days:
(a) Friday
(b) Wednesday
(c) Saturday
Answer: (c). According to
the BTS, 83.5 percent of
Saturday fl ights arrived on
time across the country in
February 2013. The worst
day: Friday, with only about
79 percent of fl ights arriving
as scheduled.
determine where the ‘saf-
est’ seat is,” says McGee.
The reason is reassuring:
“There aren’t enough fatal
accidents to develop any
sort of trend.” It makes
sense that someone sitting
in an exit row would evacu-
ate before someone sitting
farther away, but that’s not
as much of an issue as it
might seem, McGee claims.
“To be certifi ed by the FAA,
the airframe manufac-
turer must demonstrate
that everyone—no matter
where they are sitting—can
be evacuated in 90 seconds
or less, with half of the exit
rows blocked or unusable,”
she says.

1What is the
cheapest day to fl y
domestically?
(a) Monday
(b) Wednesday
(c) Friday
Answer: (b). Wednesday
is the least expensive day
to fl y, says Rick Seaney,
cofounder and CEO of the
travel-planning website
FareCompare.com, though
Tuesday and Saturday are
also good choices. (The
most expensive days: Friday
and Sunday.) Red-eyes and
crack-of-dawn fi rst fl ights
of the day are usually priced
the lowest, but if pulling an
all-nighter doesn’t sound
like a fun way to start your
vacation, try lunch- or
dinnertime fl ights; they’re
your second-best options.
2When is the best
time to buy domestic
airline tickets?
(a) Sunday evening
(b) Friday afternoon
(c) Tuesday afternoon

7What’s the deal with your
smartphone’s “airplane
mode” setting?
(a) You can use your phone in
airplane mode anytime during
your fl ight
(b) You can use your phone to
watch videos or go online in air-
plane mode above 10,000 feet
(c) You can’t use your phone
anytime during fl ight, in air-
plane mode or otherwise
Answer: (b). Like all personal
electronic devices, your cell
phone can emit radio energy
even when it’s not actively
trying to connect to anything.
The FAA therefore restricts
the use of all such devices
below 10,000 feet because of
potential interference with
the plane’s communications,
navigation, fl ight control, and
electronic equipment during
the two most critical phases
of fl ight: takeoff and landing.
Above 10,000 feet, however,
you can use your phone in
airplane mode to watch videos,
play games, or surf the Web.
But don’t expect to be able
to talk or text anytime soon:
In-fl ight cell phone use has
been banned by the Federal
Communications Commission
since 1991.
8According to the
latest fi gures, what
percentage of baggage
is reported lost, damaged,
delayed, or stolen?
(a) 0.3 percent
(b) 3 percent
(c) 13 percent
Answer: (a). It may seem like
you’re always the last person
at the baggage carousel, but
in reality, very few bags are
reported as mishandled, which
the Department of Transporta-
tion defi nes as “lost, damaged,
delayed, or pilfered.”

Back to the FutureMy third-grade self-portrait turned out to be weirdly accurate, which made
me wonder: How did 8-year-old me prophesy middle-aged me so well?
I was feeling the weight of my years because Mom was forever warning me to set an example for my siblings. Okay, “forever” may be an exaggeration. She stopped when I was 37.
Maybe I’ve just reached that obnoxious period of life when everything is suddenly fraught with meaning. Who, I wonder, did little Connie hope to be?
I’m reminded of a scene in one of my favorite movies, Da. Martin Sheen is an Irish-born New York playwright named Charlie who returns to the Emerald Isle to bury his father. But first—and how Irish is this?—Charlie must have countless conversations with his father’s ghost, and a few chats with his younger self, too. (This is my family.)
At one point, all three of them are sitting in a pub when adolescent Charlie turns to grown-up Charlie and gives him a withering once-over. “You’re a bit of a disappoint-ment,” young Charlie says. “I mean, I thought I’d do better for myself.”
He was a playwright, for cryin’ out loud. Soon to be President Bartlet.
I ended up framing my portrait. Sometimes I look at it and wish I could give 8-year-old me a pep talk. Some days, I want to sit her down and tell her that life isn’t as predictable as she thought, but it also isn’t as scary as she feared. And she’s going to have plenty of other dogs to love.
Most days, though, I just want to let her know she got it right: A good haircut, your own set of wheels, and an easy smile will get you through just about anything.
looked ancient. And it was, as it turned out to be my third-grade self-portrait, in which I was already a middle-aged woman with few hobbies.
It’s uncanny, really, how much my 1965 portrait looks like 2013 me. Full face framed by the basic chin-length triangle of hair, minus the stray grays that fl utter like sea oats around my brow. Eyelashes long and black—thank you, volumizing mascara—and a smile set to motherly patience.
Judging from the drawing, it’s clear that Mrs. Norton told our
If you know the exact where-abouts of everything you own, you’ve probably never
known the joy of discovering a priceless artifact from your child-hood while searching for the spare fan belt to your vacuum cleaner.
Hooray to you for being so organized, but there’s something magical about the daily mayhem of life. Recently, for example, I was rummaging through an old box in the basement for the afore-mentioned Hoover accessory when, at the very bottom, I found a piece of construction paper. It

Presenting the "DPVTUJD�8BWF
® music system II.
Our best-performing all-in-one music system.
When we introduced the original Acoustic Wave® music system,
Sound & Vision said it delivered “possibly the best-reproduced sound
many people have ever heard.” And the Oregonian reported it had
“changed the way many Americans listen to music.”
Today, the improved Acoustic Wave® music system II builds on our
more than 40 years of industry-leading innovation to deliver even better
sound. This is the best-performing all-in-one music system we’ve ever
made, with sound that rivals large and complicated stereos. There’s no
stack of equipment. No tangle of wires. Just all-in-one convenience and
lifelike sound.
Even better sound than its award-winning predecessor. With
recently developed Bose® technologies, our engineers were able to make
the acclaimed sound even more natural. We believe you’ll appreciate the
quality even at volume levels approaching that of a live performance.
Use it where you like. This small system fits almost anywhere. You
can move it from room to room, or take it outside. It has what you need
to enjoy your music, including a built-in CD player and digital FM/AM
tuner. You also can easily connect additional sources like your iPad,®
iPod® or TV.
Hear it yourself risk-free for 30 days. Use our 30-day, risk-free
trial to try it in your home. When you call, ask about making 12 easy
payments, with no interest charges from Bose.* And if you order
now, you’ll receive the optional 5-CD Changer free – a $299 value.
The changer lets you enjoy your music for hours without stopping to
change CDs. And a slim, credit card-style remote lets you conveniently
control both the Acoustic Wave® music system II and the changer.
Compare the performance with large,
multi-component stereos costing much
more. And discover why Bose is the most
respected name in sound.

Every TV show you watch has a world of sound
within, but you may not be hearing it. � at’s
because most fl at-panel TVs have speakers that
simply can’t reproduce the depth and detail of
all that sound, so it remains trapped inside. To
solve that problem, we developed the Bose Solo
TV sound system. It reveals so much more of the
sound you’re meant to hear, watching TV can feel
like an entirely different experience.
No matter how many times you’ve watched
your favorite shows, you can hear details you never
noticed before. Subtle sound effects. � e crisp,
clear vocal that steals the spotlight in your favorite
talent show.
Our fi rst one-piece solution for your TV.
Proprietary digital signal processing allows this
speaker to deliver more of the dialogue, music and
sound effects you’ve been missing – clearly and
naturally. So you won’t have to turn up the volume
to hear it all. And Bose speaker array technology
reproduces sound that’s wider than the screen, all
from a speaker that fi ts neatly under your TV.*
Hear it for yourself.
� e price of the Bose
Solo TV sound system is
$399.95. When you call,
ask about making 12 easy
payments of just $33.33,
with no interest charges
from Bose.** Also ask about
the 30-day home trial that
lets you hear the Solo TV
system for yourself, risk-
free. And discover why Bose
is the most respected name
in sound.
