Question: When the temperature is very cold, my garage door opens about a foot and then stops. If I disconnect the automatic opener, I can open the door manually without a problem. If I reconnect the opener, the door opens normally. Do you have any ideas about the cause of the problem and any possible solutions? Answer: The cold is probably to blame. When this happened a few years ago with my garage door, I lubricated the drive in the middle - where the emergency release is attached - and it fixed the problem. I think the original lubricant on the screw drive either wore off or got thicker because of the colder temperatures. I sprayed WD-40 on the screw drive, and the door opened just fine. Your problem may not be exactly like mine, but my solution is worth a try. Q: Within six months of moving into my home, I was diagnosed with asthma and eventually developed a sinus infection that recurred for 10 months.

TUNE IN THIS WEEKEND: Sarandon and Fiennes star as unlikely duo in ...

The very title “Bernard and Doris" (8 p.m., Saturday, HBO) suggests a quiet domesticity, a tale of homebodies who have grown accustomed to each other's rhy thms and quirks. And that's not entirely wrong. This made-for-TV drama is bas ed on the much-reported story of billionaire heiress Doris Duke (Susan Sarandon) and her butler, Bernard Lafferty (Ralph Fiennes). Lafferty's name figured pro minently in Duke's will, and so me suspect that he slowly kill ed her with drugs as he kept her isolated from the outside wor ld. That tabloid version of events was reflected in the 1999 CBS miniseries “Too Rich: The Secret Life of Doris Duke," starring Lauren Bacall as Duke and Richard Chamberlain as a wick ed, cackling Lafferty. Based on fact, fiction and sp ec ulation, “Bernard and Dor is" builds rather slowly and offers an entirely different view.

Flat Tire? Keep Rolling With Amerityre

Inventiveness, hard work, and perseverance have long characterized America's spirit of free enterprise. Charles Goodyear endured years of hardship — even a stint in debtors' prison — trying to find a process that would make rubber more useful for mankind. “The creature," he said, “imagines he is executing some plan of his own, while he is simply an instrument in the hands of his Maker for executing the divine purposes of beneficence to the race." Goodyear's labors finally bore fruit in 1839, when (according to some accounts), after boiling rubber with sulfur, he accidentally dropped some on a hot stove, and vulcanization was born. The process has not changed substantially since Goodyear patented it in 1844; by the time of his death 16 years later, vulcanized rubber had found hundreds of uses.

Fred Friction and Frederick's Music Lounge Reunion Show

Frederick's Music Lounge lives on.

Well, sort of. The beloved St. Louis music club closed two years ago, but its spirit survives with the second annual Fred Friction and Frederick's Music Lounge Reunion Show.

It's scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Saturday at Off Broadway with performances by the Saps, Earl, the Dirty 30s and Jonathan Baer.

Tony Boersma, a former Frederick's "drunken regular" eventually promoted to "door guy," is behind the reunion show.

"It was always a place where I could see music five nights a week," he says. "And just about everyone I met in St. Louis, I met there." .
