Lift, tint boost look of eyelashes

ast month, I got a lash lift at the Beauty Mark Boutique, 546 Spruce St., Scranton, and I am so in love with the results. I have very big eyes with pin-straight eyelashes. Then, I heard about lash lifts, which basically is a perm for your eyelashes. A cosmetologist (or another licensed, certified person) applies a series of cream solutions that curl, set and condition lashes for a naturallooking enhancement. You also can opt for a tint to give you darker lashes. This isn’t the same kind of perm you remember your Nana getting. It’s similar to a perm as in it involves a solution that changes the chemical makeup of your eyelashes, but it’s not crazy harsh and won’t burn your eyeballs off. Your eyes are protected the whole time, too. The Beauty Mark uses lash kits by Sugarlash Pro, a company based out of Canada, boutique owner Carrie Thorne said. While there’s obviously still a chemical component to lash lifts, the Beauty Mark is all about providing beauty products and services with clean and ethical ingredients. Customers at the Beauty Mark pay $60 for a lift and $70 for a lift and tint. The results last about six to eight weeks, which works out to about $10 per week, and are not nearly as much of a commitment as lash extensions. Here’s how my lash lift went.

Get the look Contact the Beauty Mark, 546 Spruce St., Scranton, by calling 570-309-6411 or visiting thebeautymark boutique.com. For more information, follow the Beauty Mark Boutique on Facebook or @thebeautymark.570 on Instagram.

During My lashes were combed up on top of an adhesive glue applied to the top of the silicone pad, which helped to achieve the curl. Then, she applied curling solution, which breaks down and softens the lash to adjust to its new shape. She next applied a setting solution, which locks the new shape into place, and then applied the tint. This step isn’t necessary, but I really love a dramatic eye. Finally, she added a conditioning solution with all kinds of good stuff, such as keratin for bond strength and grape seed oil for moisture and softness. The whole process took about 45 minutes, and nothing about it was uncomfortable.

Aftercare

Just like with a perm, you can’t get your lashes wet for the first 24 hours. Not only that, but you really should avoid ANY kind of moisture, including sweat, tears, steam, humidity, Prep etc. Also, don’t apply any eye makeup for the I could not have any makeup on when I first 24 hours, rub your eyes or assault your arrived to get my lashes done. While I did my lashes. I had mine done at about noon on a Fritypical morning skin care that day, I didn’t day, so I couldn’t wash my face that night. I use any eye cream just to be safe. used micellar water (a cleansing liquid that requires no rinsing) to clean my face instead.

Before

The Beauty Mark’s Delani took me upstairs to the facial area, where I laid down in a chair and closed my eyes. She cleaned my lids and lashes to remove any lingering dirt, oil, sweat or leftover makeup. Then, she combed and separated the lashes. She applied a paper shield under my eyes and used something similar to a lash glue to adhere a silicone shield over each of my top lids.

YOUNG LION

One week later I loved seeing the pretty little curve of my new dark lashes curl up over my eyelid. They look longer, too, which I think is because of the tint. I also did not have to curl them, and they NEVER wilted, no matter how much mascara I put on. I even opted out of wearing false lashes a few times because my real ones looked so good.

Brother-sister duo behind original AV opens new eatery BY PATRICE WILDING Staff Writer

ood has always been a family business for Francis and Michaelyn Ghilardi, and their new restaurant in Dickson City serves as a sort of reunion for the brother-sister duo. Local foodies and gourmands know them from their long tenure as the former owners of AV, the fine-dining establishment that built a strong reputation in its original Moosic location before relocating to downtown Scranton in 2017, a little more than two years after the Ghilardis sold it to employees. Their culinary bloodline extends even further back to the storied Alora Room, which their father and grandmother owned. After stepping away from AV in 2015, Francis Ghilardi spent some time traveling to California and Delaware, where he managed and consulted for restaurants, but eventually he returned to Northeast Pennsylvania to be closer to his family and friends. His sister, meanwhile, got out of the food industry altogether and worked in retail and customer service. She found more similarities than differences between the work, however, and said her time away actually helped her identify holes in the restaurant market, specifically for healthier food options. In mid-November 2018, the siblings reunited to open Carmalt, an eponymous eatery on the corner of the street that overlooks St. Mary’s parish plaza. Michaelyn Ghilardi stepped back into the kitchen to develop a menu of American comfort food, while her brother maintains the front of the house, which was renovated to give off a bright, earthy feel with cool hues of green, white and tan and warm wood benches. The restaurant serves

artistically plated courses Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., though hours may extend as the staf f — and customer demand — grows. “It’s one menu all day. People have all different schedules, and we wanted them to know what to expect,” Francis Ghilardi said. “It covers lunch to early dinner and the hours in between. You can arrive up until 6 (p.m.) and sit down to a nice meal.” The price points on the allhomemade and fresh food are comparable to home delivery services such as Blue Apron or HelloFresh, he

added, but “prepared by someone you trust.” “Let’s say you didn’t grocery shop or meal plan. What do you do?” Michaelyn Ghilardi mused. “It’s fastcasual dining in an exciting way. We try to keep the pickup to 10 to 12 minutes.” The departure from the more elegant and high-end dining they built their reputation on comes from maturity and a hunger for trying something new — and needed, Francis Ghilardi said. “We’re a little older now. ...

up at home,” he continued. “To us, it’s comfort food.” Some examples of the recognizable homecooking are Breaded Porkchops with German-style Potato Salad, Pot Pie and hearty fare such as Chicken and Dumplings or classic Rigatoni Bolog-

nese. Standouts from the regular menu include the Porketta, which is pork marinated in the nostalgic style and then plated as a sandwich or salad platter, and the Daily Vegan, which combines falafel, hummus, pita, mixed lettuces and house pickles. Other ve g an options include the Chili and Hot Chocolate, while the regular version of the White Chili “has a little heat to it and is more brothy,” Michaelyn Ghilardi said. A strong selection of daily soups is a staple of Carmalt’s menu, Francis Ghilardi noted. “How many times do you have a cold and need just a really good chicken soup?” he asked, while also pointing out that many of the menu items are built around salads, since that’s “the place where Michaelyn shines.” The siblings take it in turn to go out and procure the finest-quality and freshest ingredients for their dishes, and Francis Ghilardi regularly talks to customers about what they like. So far, the clientele has been an even mix of old friends coming to visit the Ghilardis at their new restaurant and new faces from the neighborhood and beyond. The eatery seats about 36 and looks to add online ordering in the future to help disseminate the food more effectively. The possibilities are exciting, the owners shared. “It’s only been (a few) weeks, but I feel it’s come a long way,” Michaelyn Ghilardi said. “We’re trying to develop the menu and recipes to be, as in the past, known for quality and consistency, to make them feel standard. It’s taking our combined experiences and getting another shot at it.” Contact the writer: pwilding@timesshamrock.com; 570-348-9100 x5369; @pwildingtt on twitter

WITH EMMA BLACK

Tony Mendicino is the executive chef at Slocum Hollow Bar & Restaurant at Montage Mountain Resorts, Scranton. He earned a bachelor’s degrees in culinary arts and business from Keystone College and recently received recognition as Electric City’s “Best Chef 2018.” He lives in Scranton. Meet Tony Mendicino...

Q: A:

Tell me a little about yourself. I’m from Scranton, born and raised. I grew up in the restaurant industry. I originally went to school to be a teacher and found out after the first year that it wasn’t for me, so I decided to go to culinary school. I went to Keystone for that; I also got my bachelor’s in business from Keystone.

went to Marywood (University) for secondary education to be a history teacher. I did my first year of observations, and I realized that I wanted to proceed with culinary school. The interest was there all along. I had wanted to go to culinary school straight out of high school, but a lot of times, the job is very demanding. I thought maybe being a teacher would be a better choice, but for me it was more about the passion behind it. I wanted to be in the kitchen.

Q: A:

What makes you so passionate about cooking? A lot of it is based on tradition. With Italian, Asian, it’s all about the cultures. When you’re learning a new style of cooking, you’re not only learning about the food, you’re learning about the culture behind it also. It’s a really cool way to interact with the food and get a background and where it came from.

Q: A:

Who are your favorite chefs? I do a lot of Asian and Italian style. Everyone can get together over food. What led to you becoming the chef One of my role models has always been at Montage Mountain Resorts? Anthony Bourdain. The way he cooked, the I started my career at Scranton Country Club. I went from there to Glenmau- way he presented himself, was always awesome. Even seeing him in TV shows, it was ra; I was their sous-chef. Last year I started here (at Montage Mountain) as the executive really cool to watch everything he was chef. I was also around golf courses growing doing. Reading his book “Kitchen Confidenup. This is my first resort; it’s a great experi- tial” was huge for me in culinary school. It was like my Bible. Another one is David ence. It’s a different atmosphere from the country clubs and the golf courses. I worked Chang in New York City with Momofuku at a couple cafes. I was at Northern Light in food chains. He’s a great chef to model after. He does noodles, and he’s centered around downtown Scranton for a very long time. his culture, which is awesome. Then I was at Pine Hills, Scranton Country Club and worked my way here. What is something different you hope you can bring to the food What does your job as executive scene in Scranton? chef entail? I always try to incorporate something My day-to-day is coming in, doing new and sort of get people to go out of orders, running all my numbers and their comfort zones. It’s things that people cooking — it’s my passion. I’m always back don’t normally see, and I’m trying to bring in the kitchen making sure everything is that to the resort and the restaurant.

‘Napoleon Dynamite’ cast to reunite at screening at Kirby Center

BY PATRICE WILDING Staff Writer

f you find yourself at F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, Jan. 12, all of your wildest dreams will come true. At 7 p.m. that night, the downtown Wilkes-Barre venue will welcome the leads from cult classic film “Napoleon Dynamite” for a special screening and question-andanswer session. Jon Heder, who played the title character in the 2004 indie hit, will be joined live in conversation with supporting cast members Jon Gries, who played his Uncle Rico in the film, and Efren Ramirez, who was unforgettable as new student Pedro Sánchez, who becomes Napoleon’s best friend and (spoiler alert) successfully runs for class president thanks to some sweet dance moves. Before the trio of actors hits the stage, Weekend Times spoke with Ramirez by phone from his hometown of Los Angeles (where we caught him in the middle of “ e at i n g F ro s t e d M i n i Wheats,” he admitted) and got answers to a few questions about how being part of “Napoleon” changed the course of his career. Tell me about how this role changed your life. You study and you train and you do the work as an actor. I was born and raised in Los Angeles. In high school, I would do a lot of plays, and in college, I studied theater. For a number of years, I did TV shows and commercials. When I did “Napoleon Dynamite,” everything changed. You play such a unique character. When you do a movie, you have no idea the results. You read a script and you go, “This is really cool,” and you do it. It just so happened to fit. You go out and see all these “Vote for Pedro” T-shirts, and

Q: A:

The stars of cult classic film “Napoleon Dynamite,” including Efren Ramirez, left, and Jon Heder, will appear at F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts in Wilkes-Barre for a Q&A following a screening of the movie on Saturday, Jan. 12.

used to DJ at raves to pay for studying acting and writing. I did it to survive, because it was a way I could use my voice. I was very shy, very quiet, when I was younger. I was the nerd. I’m still a nerd. But now because of involvement in “Napoleon Dynamite,” I’m able to use my voice and really select how I can go and change with different characters. One thing that I know is that you never want to play the villain in a movie, because then when people see you, they kind of hate you. (Laughs) But Pedro is somebody that a lot of people loved because he’s somebody you would never think would want to become (class) president. Every character in “Napoleon Dynamite” is so relatable because they come from a small town where nothing much happens, and they’re really trying to figure life out. You’ll be appearing with Jon Gries and Jon Heder. Have you all maintained relationships since the movie? Working as an actor, when you start working on production, you immediately become family. “Napoleon Dynamite” was very unique because it was extremely low-budget, and you get to know who everyone really is. I still talk to everyone. Jon Gries is a director, and his father was a director, and because of him I learned a lot about working as an actor and writer and how directors really tell a story with movies. I would do Comic-Cons with Jon (Heder) as well, and people went bananas to see us as Napoleon and Pedro together. We’re all living different lives, but reach out to each other. We’re constantly surprised and constantly grateful.

Q: then you see bobbleheads and action figures. You would never think that would actually happen. Some of the perks are sometimes I go into places for free, but the other thing is I do get mobbed. What do you wish fans knew about the movie and what your character meant to you? Two things, the first: sometimes people forget that the movie was made by students at (Brigham Young University). They were film students, and it was their very first film. It was shot at the very moment when movies went from film to digital, and it was hard for them. When they marketed it, nobody wanted to produce it. When I read it, I said, “What is it? Who is this Pedro guy?” But they took a chance and raised half a mil-

Q: A:

lion dollars altogether altogether. I remember them telling me their struggles just to make that happen. When I came onboard, I wasn’t so sure myself. I was working on a Fox show called “Boston Public” and a Disney show, “Even Stevens,” where I played a bully. When I got “Napoleon Dynamite,” I was making choices as Pedro, because you start to create a character and you hope it works. We hoped to have a great time telling the story. First time I met Jon Heder was in wardrobe, and he was dressed up as Napoleon and he said, “Are you Pedro?” (in the character’s voice). We just knew that we loved what we were doing. We enjoyed it, no matter how low the budget was. It was difficult, but we made it happen. Once you put it together and it got in several

Sounds BY MIKE EVANS

Stellar sequels from Papercuts, Tokyo Police Club, Joyce Manor keep momentum going Papercuts — ‘Parallel Universe Blues’ THE GOOD: California singer/songwriter/producer Jason Robert Quever releases his sixth as Papercuts. THE BAD: No. THE NITTY GRITTY: Over the past decade-and-a-half, Quever has given us indie pop sailing in and out of the realms of twee, dream pop, retro garage rock and jangle. “Parallel Universe” is no different. However, we wouldn’t want it to be, for Quever is a master at this stuff. Melancholy melodies spread across fuzzy atmospherics with the right amount of genuine rock noise to give the music a little muscle. Quever isn’t the most charismatic front man, but that only enhances the experience. His songs aren’t meant to set the room ablaze or get in your face. Instead, the layered guitars, occasional strings, swirling organs, gentle rhythms and reserved vocals wrap around the listener in a hypnotic, droning buzz you hope will never end. At the same time, the music is never dull or relegated to melting into the background. Dreamy and hazy? Yes, but also compelling. BUY IT?: Yes.

Tokyo Police Club — ‘TPC’ THE GOOD: After a brief hiatus, Canada’s Tokyo Police Club regroups and cranks out a lively fourth. THE BAD: Those expecting the year’s best album or radical shift in sound won’t find it here. “TPC” is simply the band being itself, business as usual, and that’s enough. THE NITTY GRITTY: Most of these 12 songs come complete with jagged riffs, crashing backbeats and a dedicated hook that’ll grab you immediately. The mix isn’t as clean as on past records, and there’s an intensity that isn’t normally here. The boys have recharged the batteries; their spark is back after a short separation. It’s tough to resist the pull of slamming bits such as “Hercules” and “Simple Dude.” And even when the band flirts with slower tempos, as it does on the swaying “Unseen” and the grand, sweeping closer “Daisy Chain,” the energy level doesn’t dissipate. Songs also avoid blending into one another; the album is varied and impulsive. Let’s hope the band keeps the momentum going. BUY IT?: Yep.

Joyce Manor — ‘Million Dollars to Kill Me’ THE GOOD: California punk group Joyce Manor releases its fifth. THE BAD: Nope. THE NITTY GRITTY: I hesitate to call these guys “pop-punk” even though their music is extremely melodic. Despite the hooks and harmonies, Joyce Manor retains a grittiness on all its records, which prevents it from becoming the next guitar-driven, commercial alt-radio darlings. It’s better than that. The band also accomplishes far more in 23 minutes than most do in 45. Every album seems to contain 10 quick, extremely focused tracks that grab hold immediately and never let up. “Million Dollars” follows this pattern. From the jagged opener “Fighting Kangaroo” to the more delicate “I’m Not the One” to the almost-pre-Beatles throwback “Silly Games,” Joyce Manor keeps the tunes BIG and the momentum constantly pushing forward. All the while, the lyrics bring the everyday into an interesting light. Familiar situations always are relatable but never mundane. You’ll be instantly craving another 10 tracks, but hey, “Keep ’em wanting more.” BUY IT?: Absolutely. Contact the writer: mevans@shamrocknepa.com

TELEVISION / FILM

HBO’s third installment of ‘True Detective’ addictive “Ten years is nothing. I remember everything.” “Well. We can’t KNOW. I mean, what you don’ t remember, you don’t KNOW you don’t remember.” — Mind-bending exchange during a deposition scene in Episode One of “True Detective,” Season Three. One of the great things about “limited” TV or streaming series is the opportunity to see some of our best film actors playing the same character in six- or eight- or 10-episode arcs — sometimes even across multiple seasons. Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson in the first season of “True Detective.” Amy Adams in “Sharp Objects.” Tom Hiddleston in “The Night Manager.” Julia Roberts in “Homecoming.” Billy Bob Thornton in “Fargo.” And now: Mahershala Ali in “True Detective,” Season Three. Of course, the Oscar-winning star of “Moonlight” and “Green Book” has done TV before, perhaps most notably through four seasons of “House of Cards.” But in the third chapter of Nic Pizzolatto’s buzz-generating anthology crime drama for HBO (premiering with back-to-back episodes on Jan. 13), Ali carries the time-jumping storyline with a smoldering, magnetic performance that only becomes more impressive as the layers of this complex mystery are peeled back from episode to episode — sometimes from scene to scene. We also get outstanding work from ensemble members Carmen Ejogo, Stephen Dorff, Scoot McNairy and Mamie Gummer, among others, but this is Ali’s vehi-

cle. And judging by the five episodes I’ve seen, he delivers Emmy-worthy work in creating the first memorable TV and/or movie character of 2019. In tone and structure, the self-contained Season Three, set in the unforgiving heart of the Ozarks, is more akin to the haunting and great and almost universally acclaimed Season One than the polarizing Season Two. Once again we’re plunged into a time-hopping thicket filled with crimes and false leads and promising clues and violent detours and multiple suspicious characters

— and righteous men who might have betrayed their better selves in the name of what they believe to be the greater good. The year is 1980. Vietnam veteran and Arkansas state police detective Wayne Hays (Ali) is on patrol with his partner, Roland West (Stephen Dorff), when they get a call about two siblings who have gone missing. Putting his wartime tracking skills to use, Hays soon uncovers things that make even this hardboiled tough guy recoil in horror. The year is 1990. Former partners Hays and West have traveled in different life and career directions, but they’re reluctant partners of sorts once again when a stunning piece of evidence surfaces from the 1980 case. The year is 2015. Wayne Hays is an old man finding it maddeningly difficult to

‘True Detective’ Stars: Mahershala Ali, Stephen Dorff Channel: HBO Grade: ★★★★ (out of four)

keep a tight grasp on reality. There are increasingly wide gaps in his memories, whether he’s trying to recall what happened yesterday, or the details of a case from 35 years ago. Nevertheless, Hays agrees to a lengthy interview with an ambitious television journalist (Sarah Gadon) who has uncovered new details about that sensational case from 35 years ago, which has remained in the spotlight in part because of a best-selling book written by Hays’ wife. Meanwhile, Wayne’s old partner Roland is living out his days as a loner who sits on his porch, downs beer

after beer and looks after his only companions — about a dozen dogs. What happened to these two men, who were once so sharp and so determined and so focused, and now seem so broken and lost? In true “True Detective” fashion, sometimes the more we know, the less we know. I’m more than halfway through the story arc, and I still have more questions than answers, and how great is that? The fiery and intense performances; Pizzolatto’s dense and rich writing; the finely calibrated directing from Jeremy Saulnier; the superb editing; the chilling and mournful music from the great T. Bone Burnett; the cinematography that changes hues to reflect the various time periods — all of these elements contribute to a slightly intoxicating case of viewer vertigo, as we try to maintain our balance while constantly being thrown OFF balance. I love the look of this show, particularly in the sequences set in 1980, where everything is slightly tinted and faded, a la long-forgotten Polaroids trapped beneath plastic sleeves. And the surprises. So many surprises, e.g., Ejogo’s character of Amelia, a teacher of one of the missing siblings. When we meet Amelia, it appears as if she’ll be the classic schoolteacher character — warm and caring, dedicated to her children. That is indeed the case, but oh is there more to her. It’s pretty much that way with every character. We feel we know them, and sometimes they meet our expectations head-on, but just as often, we’re thrown for a loop. This is addictive television.

Mini movies

Aquaman: The saving grace of this reasonably entertaining and sometimes truly ridiculous origin story is that everyone seems to get the sheer, waterlogged lunacy of the concept, so why not have fun with it? As the fishman, Jason Momoa has the physicality and the willingness to make himself look silly, and the natural charisma of a Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Rated PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for some language. 143 minutes. ★★★ Bird Box: In this gripping apocalyptic thriller, Sandra Bullock delivers one of her best performances as a blunt and blindfolded woman seeking sanctuary from a mysterious force that turns deadly once it’s seen. Rated R for violence, bloody images, language and brief sexuality. 124 minutes. ★★★ 1/2 Second Act: Denied a promotion because of her lack of education, a top-notch retail worker (Jennifer Lopez) moves on to a cushier job with help from a doctored resume. It’s as though somebody found a forgotten print of a long-lost J. Lo comedy from 2002, dusted it off and presented it as a 2018 release. Rated PG-13 for some crude sexual references, and language. 104 minutes. ★★ Welcome to Marwen: Leave it to Steve Carell to deliver a subtle, layered, empathetic and memorable portrayal of both a brain-damaged artist and his alter ego, a soldier action figure waging World War II among other dolls in his backyard. Although Mark’s world springs from darkness, there’s something profoundly uplifting and inspirational about the movie, and the man who inspired it. Rated PG-13 for sequences of fantasy violence, some disturbing images, brief suggestive content, thematic material and language. 116 minutes. ★★★ 1/2 GRADE: ★★★★ excellent, ★★★ good, ★★ Fair, ★ Poor.

EMPTY BOTTLES / CALENDAR

Empty Bottles BY DAVID FALCHEK

Turn to Port for slightly sweet vintages We h ave a n o t h e r r e a s o n t o remember 2016: the majority of p r o d u c e r s o f Po r t o, o r Po r t , declared it a vintage year. A big deal in Portugal, vintage years are called when the quality of the grapes and pre-release port are outstanding, which has occur red just four times since 2000. Ports are generally crafted from aged wine from several vintages. But in great years, they’ll declare a “vintage” the wine will be from that year. These are pricey, usually starting at $100 per bottle, and once purchased, people sit on them for decades, waiting for them to improve. But Port comes in many drinkit-now styles and prices, although the category suffers from the stereotype that it is an old person’s sweet hooch, a tasty vehicle for a

buzz. If you aren’t drinking Port, however, you should give it a try. The best Por ts taste only slightly sweet. Aged in barrels and full of potent fruit and tannins, Port is finished off with brandy to get the alcohol level to about 20 percent. Everything is turned up to 11. One way to get an idea of a vintage Port is to try a Late Bottle Vintage, or LBV, Port, made from wine from a single year rather than a multi-year blend. Dow’s 2012 Late Bottle Vintage Porto is smooth, bursting w i t h bl a ck b e r r y j a m , r a i s i n / prune and licorice. This wine has very easy tannins and a soft landing. The 2011 is available in Pennsylvania for $25. ★★★★ 1/2 With new packaging, the classic Warre’s Otima 10-Year Tawny is enjoyable, offering walnut, car-

FM Kirby Center

amel and fresh berry with a distinctly sweet finish. $30 for a 500 ml bottle. ★★★ 1/2 Drink port slightly chilled. Three or four ounces is considered a serving, so a bottle can go further than a table wine. Enjoy Port as desser t or pair it with pie, cheesecakes or blue cheese. Feel free to refrigerate it after opening. An open bottle will keep for weeks or more, but don’t push it. GRADE: Exceptional ★★★★★, Above average ★★★★, Good ★★★, Below average ★★, Poor ★.

Free Will Astrology BY ROB BREZSNY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Computergenerated special effects used in the 1993 film “Jurassic Park” may seem modest to us now. But at the time they were revolutionary. Inspired by the new possibilities revealed, filmmakers such as Stanley Kubrick, George Lucas and Peter Jackson launched new projects they had previously thought to be beyond their ability to create. In 2019, I urge you to go in quest of your personal equivalent of “Jurassic Pa rk ’s ” p i o n e e r i n g breakthroughs. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you may be able to find help and resources that enable you to get more serious about seemingly unfeasible or impractical dreams.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I’m a big proponent of authenticity. I almost always advise you to be yourself with bold candor and unapologetic panache. Speak the truth about your deepest values and clearest perceptions. Be an expert about what really moves you, and devote yourself passionately to your relationships with what really moves you. But there is one exception to this approach. Sometimes it’s wise to employ the “fake it until you make it” strategy: to pretend you are what you want to be with such conviction that you ultimately become what you want to be. I suspect now is one of those times for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): The students’ dining hall at Michigan State University serves gobs of mayonnaise. But in late 2016, a problem arose when 1,250 gallons of the stuff became rancid. Rather than simply throw it away, the school’s sustainability officer came up with a brilliant solution: load it into a machine called an anaerobic digester, which turns biodegradable waste into energy. Problem solved! The transformed rot provided electricity for parts of the campus. I recommend you regard this story as a metaphor for your own use. Is there anything in your life that has begun to decay or lose its

usefulness? If so, can you convert it into a source of power?

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you grow vegetables, fruits and grains on an acre of land, you can feed 12 people. If you use that acre to raise meat-producing animals, you’ll feed at most four people. But to produce the meat, you’ll need at least four times more water and 20 times more electric power than you would if you grew the plants. I offer this as a useful metaphor for you to consider in the coming months. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you should prioritize efficiency and value. What will provide you with the most bang for your bucks? What’s the wisest use of your resources? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Modern kids don’t spend much time playing outside. They have fun in natural environments only half as often as their parents did while growing up. In fact, the average child spends less time in the open air than prison inmates. And today’s unjailed adults get even less exposure to the elements. But I hope you will avoid that fate in 2019. According to my astrological estimates, you need to allocate more than the usual amount of time to feeling the sun and wind and sky. Not just because it’s key to your physical health, but also because many of your best ideas and decisions are likely to emerge while you’re outdoors. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): NASA landed its robotic explorer Opportunity on Mars in January 2004. The craft’s mission, which was supposed to last for 92 days, began by taking photos and collecting soil samples. More than 14 years later, the hardy machine was still in operation, continuing to send data back to Earth. It far outlived its designed lifespan. I foresee you being able to generate a comparable marvel in 2019: a stalwart resource, influence or situation that will have more staying power than you could imagine. What could it be?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1984, singer-songwriter John Fogerty released a new album whose lead single was “The Old Man Down the Road.” It sold well. But trouble arose soon afterward when Fogerty’s former record company sued him in court, claiming he stole the idea for “The Old Man Down the Road” from “Run Through the Jungle.” That was a tune Fogerty himself had written and recorded in 1970 while playing with the band Creedence Clearwater Revival. The legal process took a while, but he was ultimately vindicated. No, the courts declared, he didn’t plagiarize himself, even though there were some similarities between the two SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There’s a songs. In this spirit, I authorize you to bormodest, one-story office row from a good thing you did in the past as you create a new good thing in the future. building at 1209 N.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In 1557, Welsh mathematician Robert Recorde invented the equals sign (=). Historical records don’t tell us when he was born, so we don’t know his astrological sign. But I’m guessing he was a Libra. Is there any tribe more skillful at finding correlations, establishing equivalencies and creating reciprocity? In all the zodiac, who is best at crafting righteous proportions and uniting apparent opposites? Who is the genius of balance? In the coming months, my friend, I suspect you will be even more adept at these fine arts than you usually are.

Advice Goddess BY AMY ALKON Date questions possible hypocrisy in woman’s actions Foul pay

I went out with a feminist who was all into women’s empowerment, but when the bill came, she made no effort to chip in. Please explain this type of feminism. Is it somehow possible that she didn’t notice the check? — Incredulous It is possible that she didn’t notice the check. It’s also possible that she likes to take time off from complaining about paternalistic behaviors to sample the ones that work best for her. While this appears to be a glaring example of selfserving selective feminism, research suggests there’s sometimes a more charitable explanation for absurdly contradictory beliefs and behavior. Though most people believe that there’s a single consistent you (or me) with stable beliefs and preferences, this actually seems to be an illusion. In fact, if there’s one thing that’s consistent about humans — it’s how inconsistent we all tend to be (and — it gets better — how consistent we are in vigorously denying that). Cognitive scientist Colin Martindale theorized back in 1980 that we have a number of “subselves” — subpersonalities with varying beliefs and priorities — that go active or sink into the background depending on the context at hand. In other words, whichever goal is front and center in your mind — like “Fight patriarchal oppression!” or “Take this totally adorbs patriarchal oppressor home to bed!” — drives how you think and behave. Research by neuroscientist Michael Gazzaniga suggests Martindale was right.

Gazzaniga’s findings also led him to the conclusion that our mind has a janitor of sorts — a psychological one he calls “The Interpreter” — that tidies up in the wake of our inconsistencies by creating justifications for them. These, in turn, allow us to view ourselves as consistent and rational — instead of laughably hypocritical, like a feminist who, when the check comes, stares skyward, all “Wow! That is one of the most wellpreserved examples of the early-’90s popcorn ceiling!” However, again, more charitably, everybody these days is confused about who’s supposed to pay on dates (and when and what it all means). For example, a woman will chip in on the first date because she earns a living, too! — or because the prospect of sex with the dude is akin to “Would madam enjoy her Caesar salad with a light dusting of E. coli?” To suss out where this woman is coming from, you need more information, and to get that, you’ll need further interaction — on the phone or, even better, in person. (Action reveals character.)

Keeping it Rio This girl I’ve been dating for two months is soon going to Brazil for three months! We aren’t officially committed, so it seems unfair to ask her to be monogamous. We plan to stay in touch, but I don’t want to hear about her with other dudes, and selfishly, I don’t want to stay home, all celibate like some war bride. — Realistic or cracked? It’s very considerate of you to suggest three months

sexually off leash, as she is traveling to the ancestral homeland of male supermodels, where a chunk of the GNP is dependent on Carnival — a weeklong drinking, samba and sex fest. The problem is jealousy, one of our guard dog emotions. Evolutionary psychologist David Buss explained that jealousy rises up automatically to help us fend off “potential mate poachers” and prevent a mate from “defecting.” Because it’s set on “auto,” it can be hard to override. That said, though you don’t have a committed relationship with this woman — let alone an “open” one — you might be able to make use of a psychological tactic of people in sexually open relationships. It’s called “compersion” — taking pleasure in your partner’s getting pleasure, even if it’s from some other, uh, provider. Granted, this is probably about as realistic for most people as their Ubering to a party via unicorn. However, it dovetails nicely with my fave quote about love, from sci-fi writer Robert Heinlein: “Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” Float the idea of planned cooperative ignorance, and ask her to think on it for a few days. (People often have more reasoned responses to hot-button issues when they aren’t expected to reply pronto.) Also, it doesn’t hurt that she’s the one wintering where stone-sober women are tempted to stop men on the street with “Excuse me, but would you mind if I licked black beans off your ridiculously chiseled abs?”

Psycho Sudoku

Puzzle Page

“Kaidoku” Each of the 26 letters of the alphabet is represented in this grid by a number between 1 and 26. Using letter frequency, word-pattern recognition, and the numbers as your guides, ﬁll in the grid with wellknown English words (HINT: since a Q is always followed by a U, try hunting down the Q ﬁrst). Only lowercase, unhyphenated words are allowed in kaidoku, so you won’t see anything like STOCKHOLM or LONG-LOST in here (but you might see AFGHAN, since it has an uncapitalized meaning, too). Now stop wasting my precious time and SOLVE!

“It’s Not Unusual”--the phrase makes it.
