Beauty launches brighten up new year

have a complicated relationship with new beauty launches. I am really, really, really trying to save my dolla’billsthisyear,butthereareSOmanyexcitingdrops in 2019. On the other hand, brands can get carried away with launching new products, and it’s super overwhelming to keep up with it all. So, to keep our sanity, I rounded up my top nine skin care and makeup picks you should try in 2019 — so far.

Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Concealer and Instant Retouch Setting Powder Everything Rihanna touches turns to gold. As long as you know your Pro Filt’r foundation shade, it’s easy to find your match in 50 shades of creamy, long-wear concealer and eight translucent — never cakey — setting powders. (Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Concealer, $26; Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Setting Powder, $32)

Youth To The People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask

If you have dry skin or suffer from the frigid, dry air of Northeast Pennsylvania’s winter, this is a dream come true. This creamy mask is packed with hydrators such as squalane, hyaluronic acid, glycerin and betaine as well as antioxidant-dense berries that soothe tired and stressed skin. THD ascorbate — a form of vitamin C — banishes dullness without irritation. (Youth to the People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask, $48)

Laneige Lavender Water Sleeping Mask Like its original cult-fave counterpart, this lightweight gel mask is the perfect remedy for winter dryness for those with oily skin. The lavender scent will help you drift off to a peaceful sleep, too. (Laneige Lavender Water Sleeping Mask,$25)

Charlotte Tilbury Goddess Cleansing Ritual Cleanser Duo

Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream If anyone can take a potent active such as retinol and make it skin-friendly, even soothing, it’s Drunk Elephant. Made with a 1 percent retinol to increase cell-turnover plus vitamin F and a curated blend of oils to sooth irritation and replenish moisture, this might be the most pleasant yet effective retinol you’ve ever used. (Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream, $74)

Ole Henriksen Glow2oh Dark Spot Toner This acid toner is formulated with potent alpha hydroxy acids: glycolic and lactic. These chemical exfoliants work to brighten dark spots, improve texture and smooth uneven skin tone. It’s perfect for someone who wants the glowy results of something like Sunday Riley’s Good Genes, but at a lower price point. It also contains soothing extracts such as chamomile, sandalwood and licorice root. (Ole Henriksen Glow2OH Dark Spot Toner,$28)

Double-cleaning is my favorite method. Why not feel like an actual goddess while doing it? Charlotte Tilbury knows all about making those who use her products feel other-worldly. This double-cleansing set contains a coconut oil-based cleanser to melt makeup and remove oil-based impurities and a charcoal cleanser made with calcium, magnesium and bamboo to purify during a second cleanse. (Charlotte Tilbury Goddess Cleansing Ritual Cleanser, $46)

Morphe Fluidity Full-Coverage Foundation Theaffordablebrandknownforgreatbrushes and high-intensity pigments and whose collaborations read as a who’s who of YouTube beauty gurus finally is launching its first foundation. The full-coverage liquid comes in 60 shades across five levels (Light, Medium, Tan, Rich and Deep) so every person can find their perfect match. (Morphe Fluidity Full-Coverage Foundation,$18)

Sisters pool skills to open Henry’s on Clay in Dunmore BY PATRICE WILDING Staff Writer

hile Ellen Sallusti and her younger sister Lizzie always talked about opening their own restaurant, they didn’t make the dream a reality until all the signs were in place — some more literal than others. It started when the Green Ridge natives each found themselves immersed in coffee culture, despite diverging educations and career paths that seemed destined for other pursuits. Ellen Sallusti studied music and lived and worked in New York City for years, while Lizzie Sallusti learned hospitality business management and moved to Philadelphia. Eventually, the elder Sallusti got a job at the trendy cafe Maman in New York and was sent to Brew School at Tobys Estate Coffee Roasters, while her sister returned home to Scranton and learned the trade on the job at Zummo’s Cafe. “We were on the same track,” Lizzie Sallusti said. Then, they found the perfect location to merge their experiences and open up a place of their own (following somewhat in the footsteps of their father, who used to own Imperial Bakery in the city’s West Side). The spot at Green Ridge Street and Clay Avenue in Dunmore formerly housed Pagnotti’s Pharmacy, a neighborhood staple, they said, and was centrally located among nearby schools and homes to give them good foot traffic and accessibility. “It had a good vibe, and we wanted a familiar stop, a spot where everyone could walk to,” Lizzie Sallusti said. “I think good history is a part of it, knowing it was a happy place,” Ellen Sallusti added. In mid-December, the Sallustis opened Henry’s on Clay, which bears the name shared by their dad, grandfa-

ther, brother — and even their chef, Rory Flynn’s, dog. “It was a sign,” Lizzie Sallusti said of the Henry coincidence, adding that she always admired a neon sign spelling the name that had sat unused in a family basement for 30 years but now hangs in the restaurant. “The signs were very apparent,” her sister agreed. Since then, word has spread, and demand has been high for the contemporary, homestyle American breakfasts and lunches they serve six days a week. The menu offers a “city feel,” Lizzie Sallusti explained, although dishes’ names reflect the

local culture, such as Buddy Clarke’s Hangover Hash (in honor of the bar next door), the Clay Avenue Club (made with house chicken salad) and the Y-Pal (a shout-out to the Greater Scranton YMCA, where the family swims). “The menu goes all day with breakfast and lunch,” Ellen Sallusti noted, “so you can order pancakes in the middle of the afternoon. I wanted a bodega, walk-upsandwich feel.” Among the stars of the menu are Henry’s Home Fries (made with an unexpected dijon vinaigrette) the Egg in a Pothole and the DGR Burger (which features

structure the same, such as the ceiling and floors, they designed the updated layout togetherwiththeirfamily.They incorporated reclaimed bowling alley wood for their tables, colorful vintage dishes from nearby marketplace On&On and other artistic flourishes that give the place a homey feel. “I love how everyone coming in says it has a calming feel to it,” Lizzie Sallusti said. “We want you to feel like you’re in our kitchen,” Ellen Sallusti added. “It’s better than we ever expected.” Contact the writer: pwilding@timesshamrock.com; 570-348-9100 x5369; @pwildingtt on twitter

How long have you been teaching yoga? What is your yoga background? I started practicing yoga 12 or 13 years ago. It’s been one of the most consistent things in my life. I tried vinyasa yoga first, and it’s the linking together of breath and postures. It focuses a lot on breathing, and when you’re consciously breathing, you’re able to quiet your mind. At the time, I really needed that because there was a lot going on.

school. Throughout that time I needed a job, so I started working for my family; they have a steel fabrication company. It took me a while to finish my degree because of my 20s being kind of crazy. It took me about eight years to finish, and throughout that time a lot of stuff happened — working for my family, moving to New York and working in a yoga studio. I knew that I needed to finish the degree, but I knew I wasn’t going to do much with it. I had been doing yoga for about a year when I decided I wanted to get trained (to) teach it. I moved to New York City and got trained to teach. I came back here and was working for my family, and it wasn’t what I wanted to be doing. I knew I needed a change, so I called the woman in New York who trained me and asked if she had any position open. She said yes and asked if I wanted to be a manager. I said absolutely, so I just picked up and moved there. I lived there, but I came home. My family and friends were here; the people I knew who could really benefit from yoga were here. When we opened Mission Yoga, I had a business partner, and he kind of had the same vision as me, so we opened downtown first and just grew from there. It was part of our vision to bring it here and make it more accessible to people here.

Q: A:

WITH EMMA BLACK

Things haven’t always been easy for animal-loving yogini Kelly Bedford. A graduate of North Pocono High School and Marywood University, where she studied history, she discovered a love for yoga following her time in drug rehabilitation. Bedford is an avid world traveler who owns and is an instructor at Mission Yoga, which has locations in Scranton and South Abington Twp. She and her husband, Brian, live in Clarks Summit. Meet Kelly Bedford...

Q: A:

How did you first become interested in yoga? In my 20s, I got into a lot of trouble with drugs, and when I got out of rehab, one of my friends brought me to a yoga class. It really changed my recovery at the time and really helped to shape who I was. I wanted to be able to bring that to other people.

Q: A:

What do you enjoy most about being part of the local yoga community? It’s just nice to feel more connected to people. I’m starting to see people between the two locations, people who were primarily coming to Scranton and are now coming here (to Clarks Summit) and really stepping outside of their comfort zone and trying different things. I also like being part of some sort of change and seeing more people being helped by it and their internal shift.

How have you benefitted personally by doing yoga? When I first started practicing yoga, I was extremely fearful, insecure, had a lot of anxiety and all kinds of things going on. Yoga helped to move me past that. The whole point of it, in the ancient philosophies, the word “yoga” means “to unite.” It’s the unification of yourself with a higher version of yourself, so you have truer potential. It just made me believe in myself more, be less anxious and fearful. It helped to clear my mind enough to know that I have something to offer and I could be helpful to other people. The girl who took me to my first yoga class, I just ended up training her to teach last year, so it was really cool how it came full circle. The physical part is definitely a benefit, but moreso it’s a mental shift.

Up Close & Personal

I’ve been vegetarian since I was 14, so I’m going on 21 years. My friend has a sanctuary called the Farmhouse Sanctuary in Sterling Twp. We just had a bunch of fundraisers for her. I also do a lot of stuff with the Lackawanna County drug and alcohol programs to try to bring yoga to people in recovery. I developed a program a few years ago. People who are in recovery can come have use of the yoga studio. I get funding for that through the county.

Q: A:

Have you had a moment or time in your life that helped shape who you are today? There is a period of time that I reflect back on often to remind me where I was. I remember being in a room with a bunch of strangers having to read a very basic thing and being so scared to read it, I couldn’t even get the words out. It was such a difficult moment in my life, and sometimes I’ll think about it and see how yoga has helped me change. It taught me I have to get out of my own way in order to help other people.

Towanda native Kasidy Devlin, center, who studied acting in Scranton before moving to New York City, portrays Sir Robin in “Spamalot,” coming to the Electric City this weekend.

A knight to remember

BY CAITLIN HEANEY WEST staFF Writer

asidy Devlin spent his teenage years learning his craft in the Electric City. Now, the Towanda native shows off the fruits of that labor as part of the cast of the national tour of “Spamalot,” which Broadway Theatre League of Northeastern Pennsylvania brings to Scranton for four performances. Shows will take place Friday, Jan. 25, through Sunday, Jan. 27, at Scranton Cultural Center at The Masonic Temple, 420 N. Washington Ave. Devlin left Towanda in 2010 and joined the national tour of “Spamalot” a year later, acting in about 300 performances until it shut down. Co-creator and Monty Python alumnus Eric Idle then decided to revive the tour a few years later, and Devlin got called in again. “This is kind of a reunion tour for some of us,” he said. As before, Devlin plays Sir Robin, Idle’s role from the film upon which the musical is based, “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” as well as a few other characters. The audience connects with Robin quite well, Devlin said, noting that his character seems to be the only one who takes some things seriously. “He is the bravely bold Sir Robin, but he

really is kind of a coward,” Devlin said. “I get the great opportunity to soil myself several times on stage. He’s just one of the audience’s favorites because it’s a really crazy world that ‘Spamalot’ lives in. A lot of things can happen.” The comedy follows the shenanigans of King Arthur as he seeks the Holy Grail, recruiting several knights and meeting numerous unusual characters along the way. “Spamalot” ran for nearly four years on Broadway, earning three Tony awards, including best musical. “It has a lot of heart,” Devlin said. “It’s a fun, irreverent storyline. It’s apolitical, which is nice today, and ... it has just fantastic, catchy songs. It’s a light and easy storyline and it’s just thoroughly enjoyable.” Devlin brings to the show not just previous experience with the musical but also an education he gained here in Northeast Pennsylvania. Devlin worked with the now-defunct Northeast Theatre, which did business as Electric Theatre Company and staged productions at Keystone College and in downtown Scranton. He also studied with “all these wonderful New York City actors that they were bringing in” through the company’s Griffin Conservatory, an 18-month professional training program for actors.

Towanda native reprises role as Sir Robin for BTL’s run of ‘Spamalot’ this weekend “By the time I got done with high school, I didn’t feel like I needed to go to a conservatory or college,” Devlin said, although he did further his studies in programs in Italy and California before moving to New York. Coming back to “Spamalot” has been strange, Devlin said, since he thought he had put to rest that part of his life when the tour closed in 2013, but he pointed out how passionate the fans have been. The show encountered a technical problem on stage during a performance and had to pause for a minute, he said, during which time the entire audience began singing, unprovoked, act two’s “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” — which the actors hadn’t even performed yet. “It’s been kind of a joy,” Devlin said. “You feel like a rockstar when you’re in this show, because so many people (know) the lines already.” Devlin called the musical “a real kind of spiritual experience” for Monty Python fans. He added that Idle “did a really good job of streamlining the original film” and turning into a Broadway show. “It is so lovingly adapted from the source material, ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail,’ so the Python fans maybe make up half the audience, people who are there who want to relive the experience … and see it live,” Dev-

lin said. During the tour’s Scranton stop, the audience also will include several of Devlin’s family members, who, alongside fellow Electric Theatre veterans, will make the trip to see him. Devlin said he enjoys more than anything bringing such a large show into smaller communities that “don’t get to experience theater in this size.” “I think in New York there’s so much theater,” he added. “When you come into the (smaller towns), the community is so grateful to have a show come in, and that’s probably the most rewarding experience.”

FILM

Sci-fi thriller ‘Glass’ shatters magic of Shyamalan’s trilogy

racked. Broken. Shattered. This is what happens to the storyline in M. Night Shyamalan’s crushingly disappointing “Glass” — the final piece in the jigsaw puzzle of a trilogy that kicked off with the brilliantly constr ucted classic “Unbreakable” in 2000 and took us by surprise with the jagged and twisted (in more ways than one) horrors of “Split” in 2016. “Glass” was going to rope in the Philadelphia universe that included the reluctant hero David Dunn, the insane criminal mastermind Mr. Glass and the “Beast,” one of the 23 personalities colliding within the mind and body of one Kevin Wendell Crumb. “Glass” was going to tie it all together. “Glass” was going to be — we hoped — the crowning chapter in what could have been one of the great trilogies in any genre in recent memory. Alas, despite the game efforts of Bruce Willis as David Dunn aka the Overseer, Samuel L. Jackson as Elijah Price/Mr. Glass and James McAvoy as Kevin/The Horde, the plot begins to crack early in the first act, seems to be broken almost beyond re pair halfway through the story and shatters to pieces in a stunningly arbitrary, irritatingly unsatisfying and borderline ridiculous final series of events. We came all this way for THAT? Damn. This one hurts. To play off another M. Night movie that thankfully was left to stand alone: I see dread, people. “Glass” picks up three weeks after the events of “Split” and some 19 years after “Unbreakable.” After narrowly escaping capture, the Horde (McAvoy) is on the loose and once again up to its evil ways,

James McAvoy reprises his role from “Split” in M. Night Shyamalan’s “Glass.”

holding four young cheerleaders hostage in an abandoned factory. Meanwhile, David Dunn and his now grown son, Jose ph (Spencer Treat Clark), are running a twoperson security firm, with David using his powers of intuition and great strength to thwart lowlifes and street criminals. As for Mr. Glass, he’s been in an institution all these years, drugged to a near-catatonic state. Through a quick and not entirely plausible (even for a

“real-life comic book” story) series of events, David and the Horde are apprehended and join Mr. Glass in one of those movie institutions where we almost never see any other patients, and the walls are painted in colors ranging from Pepto-Bismol pink to deadly gray, and the relatively sparse staf f includes a few real idiots who have little chance of getting out of the movie alive. Oh, and check out the elaborate albeit somewhat flimsy security measures! Mr. Glass is locked in a room where cameras trace his every move. There are also cameras in every imaginable corner of the institution, so even if he somehow gets free, they’ll know where he is. David is held in a room with

a dozen spigots aimed in his direction. He’s told if he tries anything, he’ll be hit with powerful streams of water, thanks to the giant tank located just outside his room. Because, as you might recall, David has this thing about water. Oh, and as for the Horde, they’ve rigged up a set of lights in his room, and if HE starts to act up, the lights will strobe, forcing him to instantly change personalities. It’s as if he’s in an improv group, and anytime

the light pulsates, BOOM! He has to become someone else. If all that isn’t silly enough, you gotta meet Sarah Paulson’s Dr. Ellie Staple, who tells the guys she specializes in studying the disorder that has regular people believing they’re comic book characters. (Ooh, where do you get a grant for that?) I found myself wondering if Dr. Staple might be the daughter of Dr. Frederick Chilton, the taunting nemesis of Hannibal Lecter in

“The Silence of the Lambs.” Remember that idiot? Well, he’s got nothing on Dr. Staple, who thinks it’s a grand idea to put her three subjects in the same room and wants to conduct some sort of vaguely explained surgery on their frontal lobes to free them from their delusions. Writer-director Shyamalan plays a shell game with the audience, adding characters such as Casey (Anya Taylor-Joy), the lone surviving captive from “Split”; the aforementioned Joseph, who is fiercely loyal to his pops but doesn’t have the greatest of plans to exonerate him; and even Elijah’s long-suffering mom (Charlayne Woodard), who apparently has become a big-time comic book aficionado since her son was hauled off for committing mass murder in multiple acts of terrorism. In fact, many of the key players in “Glass” are students of comic books, which results in a number of momentumstopping monologues in which someone talks about the history of comic books, the plot elements in the traditional “limited edition” adventure, the key components of an origins story and blah blah blah. I’d rather be stuck in an elevator with an army of Darth Nihilus impersonators at Comic-Con. Shyamalan being Shyamalan, “Glass” does have a distinctive look and some pretty cool moments, and a halfdecent twist or two. Mostly, though, it’s an underwhelming, half-baked, slightly sour and even offputting finale. One wishes the story had ended with the conclusion to “Split,” leaving it to our imaginations to debate what might have happened next. RICHARD ROEPER reviews movies for The Chicago SunTimes.

COVER STORY BY GIA MAZUR Staff Writer

Let it Snow Show. A staple in the alternative music scene during the dead of winter, ALT 92.1’s Snow Show takes place Sunday, Jan. 27, at 7 p.m. at F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, 71 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre. The concert is packed with acts from across different alterative genres, including rock headliner Young the Giant, rock/hip-hop musician Grandson, skapunk group the Interrupters and the Nude Party, a six-piece psych rock band. Tickets to the Times-Shamrock Communications radio station’s concert are $29.50 to $49.50 for general admission and $92.10 for VIPs with a meet-andgreet. Tickets can be purchased at the box office, by calling 570-826-1100 and

online at kirbycenter.org. With differing acts on the bill, Nude Party lead singer Patton Magee said some of the highlights of playing the same show include discovering new music and getting hit with inspiration. “Sometimes you see a band and you’re really just like, ‘Damn, that’s awesome,’ and (you) want to adapt a little bit to what they’re doing,” Magee said during a recent phone interview. Originally from Boone, North Carolina, and now living in Livingston Manor, New York, the Nude Party began when the six members met at Appalachian State University. After releasing its selftitled debut album last July, the band’s been writing and recording in its Catskill Mountains house in between touring and plans to continue making music and performing all over the coun-

try this year. ALT 92.1’s Snow Show isn’t the group’s first time in Northeast Pennsylvania, Magee said. The Nude Party performed inside Wilkes-Barre’s Karl Hall last September. “It was a lot of fun,” Magee said. “It just seemed like a group of people who wanted to see live music. That’s really cool.” Magee said a Nude Party live show is where the band thrives. The crowd can expect the band to play some new music not on the record, he said, which the band enjoys since it can flesh out the songs a little more. “We do it better (live) than any other way,” Magee said, adding that “Astral Man” and some of the band’s longer songs are his favorites to play for a crowd. “You can create cool transitions between songs, and songs could turn out

different live than (they) do on the record. Sometimes we’ll do something and it will sound different and we think, ‘Oh, we need to remember and do it next time.’ It’s the time that really shows the best of us and who we are.”

Empty Bottles BY DAVID FALCHEK Montepulciano delivers juicy, affordable wines

n Italy, Montepulciano is a grape and a place and two very different wines. Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, the grape montepulciano of the region Abruzzo, the central Italian region on the Adriatic Sea, makes a drinkable red wine. As though wine isn’t confusing enough, another completely different Italian wine, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, is a Tuscan red made with the Sangiovese grape. But let’s look at Abruzzo. The region produces a lot of wine. In Italy, it is a volume producer where government regulations allow for high vineyard yields on the fertile soil. The wines are affordable, juicy and straightforward — sort of pizza or pasta wine. The region also makes a white wine, Trebbiano d’Abruzzo, worth trying. Tenuta Ulisse Sogno di Ulisse 2016 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is a light wine that tastes of pomegranate with an earthiness closing with a slightly tart,

modest finish. $9. ★★★ Talamonti Tre Saggi 2014 Montepulciano d’Abruzzo tastes of fresh plum and cherries with cocoa. It’s a smooth wine with a brush of tannins in the finish. $15. ★★★ 1/2 The other wine, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, will be a bit more polished and expensive, show more oak influence and call to mind a really nice Chianti.

Sounds BY MIKE EVANS International acts put new spins on music Christine and the Queens — ‘Chris’ THE GOOD: French singer/songwriter Heloise Letissier (she IS C&TQ) returns with her second international release. THE BAD: All good. THE NITTY GRITTY: “The Queens” moniker comes from the drag queens who used to back up Letissier at her early Paris gigs. The ensuing years found her progressing musically, personally, sexually, etc. The new album, simply titled “Chris,” now sees the artist shedding past personas while gaining both strength and more confidence as a musician. Letissier wants to put the boys in their place, and she’s completely unapologetic about it. The record itself is a mix of electronic, modern soul and indie pop. Letissier always releases her songs in both English and French. Take your pick. In the past, she’s toured with Marina and the Diamonds. Their styles are very similar — big melodies, popping beats, a dramatic vocal delivery and a hint of the sultry. Just unique enough NOT to cross over big time, “Chris” breaks boundaries and remains highly accessible at the same time. BUY IT?: Sure.

Peach Kelli Pop — ‘Gentle Leader’ THE GOOD: Female Canadian pop/punk outfit Peach Kelli Pop goes from a solo do-it-yourself project to a proper band on its fourth album. THE BAD: Nope. THE NITTY GRITTY: In the past, PKP always consisted of singer/ songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Allie Hanlon ... and pretty much no one else. Even touring band lineups shifted often. Now, PKP is a dedicated four-piece group, and it’s all the better for it. “Gentle Leader” easily is its most polished record to date. But that doesn’t mean the group has lost any spontaneity or fierceness. Here we get 10 tracks in just over 23 minutes, each one a razor-sharp slice of ear candy. Humungous hooks, jagged riffs, crashing backbeats, spunky harmonies — yeah, it’s just the good stuff. Punchy tunes such as “Hello Kittie Knife” and “Don’t Push Me” can’t help being both aggressive and too damn happy at the same time. When the band takes it a little easy, as it does on more tempered pieces such as “Parasomnia” and “King Size,” the rawness remains. BUY IT?: Definitely.

The Joy Formidable — ‘Aaarth!’ THE GOOD: Welsh indie rock trio Joy Formidable gets even more independent and more creative on its fourth. THE BAD: No complaints. THE NITTY GRITTY: “Aaarth,” the title a variation on the Welsh word for “bear,” is the band’s second record after leaving major label Atlantic. And it finds the group taking more musical chances while still retaining the fierce rock muscle it’s flexed since day one. Softer bits aside, songs such as “All in All” before it builds into a cacophony of thunder or the gently swirling “Absence,” “Aaarth” is a mostly heavy indie album blurring the lines between post-modern experimentation and metallic crunch. Guitarist/frontwoman Ritzy Bryan remains the band’s driving force and main focus, whether she’s leaning in close and whispering or shouting from across the room. A tense back-and-forth rhythm carries “The Wrong Side.” “What For” burns bright over crashing drums. “You Can’t Give Me” sneaks up from behind, with dramatic melodies eventually soaring over multi-layered riffs. As usual, it’s all full-bodied and razor sharp. BUY IT?: Yes. Contact the writer: mevans@shamrocknepa.com

Hunter” and TV personality Steve Irwin. Harriet was far from her original home in the Galapagos Islands. By some accounts, evolutionary superstar Charles Darwin picked her up and carried her away during his visit there in 1835. I propose that you choose the long-lived tortoise as your power creature for the coming weeks. With her as inspiration, meditate on questions like these: 1. “What would I do differently if I knew I’d live to a very old age?” 2. “What influence that was important to me when I was young do I want to be important to me when I’m old?” 3. “In what specific ways can my future TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Taurus benefit from my past?” 4. “Is there a blessing guitar wizard known as or gift from an ancestor I have not yet Buckethead surely is claimed?” 5. “Is there anything I can do that I among the most imagiam not yet doing to remain in good health native and prolific musiinto my old age?” cians who has ever lived.

But perhaps our opinion would become more expansive once we knew that he engaged in this stunt to raise money for a charity that supports people with cancer. In any case, the coming weeks would be a favorable time for you, too, to engage in extravagant, extreme or even outlandish behavior in behalf of a good or holy cause.

Advice Goddess BY AMY ALKON Girlfriend’s inattentiveness during trip makes partner feel insecure Cling Kong My girlfriend of three years recently took a trip home for a weekend wedding. Before she left, I asked her, “Can you set my expectations as to how often I’ll hear from you?” She said she’d call every day. She called each of the three days but never stayed on the phone very long, always giving some excuse: She was in a bar, the hosts were sleeping, etc. In three days, she spent a total of 43 minutes speaking and reconnecting with me. I told her I felt really hurt by how little time she allocated. She responded that there were things planned, that she was sometimes at the behest of others driving her places, etc. I am sure that’s all true. Though I’m not insecure, I’ve felt insecure about my relationship with her. So ... what do you think? Do I have a valid reason to feel neglected and invisible? — Ignored Where there’s smoke — like, say, puffs of it coming out of a first-floor window — there’s sometimes a stick of incense burning; no reason to run for the garden hose and turn the living room into a stylishly furnished wading pool. If your girlfriend imagined what you’d be doing in her absence, it probably wasn’t standing over the phone for 72 hours straight, willing it to ring. Chances are, she isn’t entirely tuned in to how insecure you are about her commitment to you. Also, wedding weekends these days tend to be packed with activities from breakfast to nightcap. So ... there’s an initial

idea of how much alone time one would have, and then there’s the actual free time between sleep, showering and “Our ride’s here! You can take your rollers out on the way to the church!” As for the het-up state you found yourself in, what I often call our “guard dog emotions” can be a little overprotective — and that’s actually an evolved feature, not a flaw. It’s sometimes in our best interest to see unclearly. In fact, human perception evolved to be inaccurate at times — protectively inaccurate, explained evolutionary psychologists Martie Haselton and David Buss, in favor of helping us survive and pass on our genes. This makes us prone to be oversensitive to signs of infidelity — which is to say, our suspicion is easily triggered, even by harmless, innocent behavior. This oversensitivity is evolutionarily sensible — protective of our interests. For example, it’s typically much more costly for a man to be undersensitive — all “Naw, I’m sure everything’s fine!” — when he’s about to be deceived into paying for college, grad school and rehab for a kid with some other dude’s genes. The problem is, an infidelity alar m system that defaults to DEFCON “HOW DARE YOU, YOU HUSSY!” also can take a toll, even on a partner who really loves you. The jealousy, possessiveness and badgering for reassurance that ensue can make the cost of the relationship start to outweigh the benefits. This isn’t to say you can’t ask for reassurance; you just need to do it in a way that doesn’t make your partner long to put you out on the curb like

an old couch. First figure out whether there’s anything to those alarm bells going off in you — whether you have any reason to believe your girlfriend is cheating or is unhappy in the relationship. If not, chances are, your compulsion to turn her iPhone into her wireless leash stems from what the late psychologist Albert Ellis called “catastrophizing” — telling yourself it would be HORRIBLE and TERRIBLE and you would just DIE EVERY DAY FOREVER if your relationship ended. (Drama queen!) (P.S. We’ve all had our turn wearing the dingy tiara of gloom.) The reality is, a breakup could lead to a stretch of mope-apalooza — weeks or months snot-sobbing into a pillow, along with the occasional sobfest in the frozen foods aisle. Obviously, you’d rather not go through this. HOWEVER ... if you did, you’d eventually recover, get back out there and maybe even get into a relationship that’s better for you. Reflect regularly (like, daily) on this rational corrective to your irrational thinking; accept that your relationship could end and admit that you could deal if it did. Once you calm down a little, ask your girlfriend for clarification and reassurance about her feelings for you. In time, when she’s away, you could be obsessing over those highly enjoyable activities we women call “weird gross guy stuff”: Eat black bean taquitos and try to break your previous records for fart volume and velocity. Play “Minecraft” for 46 hours straight, wearing only a pair of superhero underwear.

“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!
