st. patrick’s day-themed races take over
f
or many revelers in the charleston area, st. patrick’s day — err, weekend ... err, week — is a great opportunity to raise a few pints, dress in green and act goofy. and in the last few years, the time to start is the Thursday before march 17 with the catch the leprechaun 5k run and walk at mount pleasant memorial waterfront park. tonight, the park will get even greener as hundreds, perhaps even a thousand if the weather behaves, gather for the race, which starts at 6:30 p.m. and includes postrace food, beer and music. since the race was reincarnated in 2010 from one held in park west, it has grown from 319 finishers to 693 in 2011 and 880 in 2012. co-race director mike mckenna said the growing popularity of the race is due to a few aspects. “in a nutshell, it’s a fun race that supports a great cause (pattison’s academy, a school for children with disabilities). There’s an endless sea of 5ks, and we tried to give the runners something they won’t get at other races. it’s a night race which features a bagpiper, prizes for people who finish before the leprechaun, pots of gold for the winners and a post-race party,” he said. “it’s different, and i think people appreciate it.” not to rest on his laurels, mckenna noted several changes to this year’s race, including a costume contest, trolley providing shuttle service from dunleavy’s pub and the hampton inn & suites charleston/mount pleasantisle of palms, and discounts at egan’s spirits during its grand opening saturday and sunday. because today is race day, the fee to enter is $40. www.catchtheleprechaun 5k.com
shamrock shuffle
meanwhile, organizers of one of the oldest races in the charleston area, summer-
more online to read more get out columns by david Quick, go to www.postandcourier.com/ section/features columnists. ville’s flowertown festival run, has changed its name after 34 years to something irish: the shamrock shuffle. summerville family ymca ceo gary lukridge said the change came after the ymca sought to separate the identities of the run and the flowertown festival. The run, after all, is held a few weeks before the festival. “This way, the shamrock shuffle can stand out on its own merit and show how great an event we have assembled. The course, distances, local, etc., has not changed, and as always, it’s a great warm-up for the bridge run,” lukridge said. race director Jan parsons said many people, so far, have responded positively to the name change. “we are used to seeing people dressing up in st. paddy’s day attire as the run falls close to the holiday, which furthered our reasoning on changing it up a bit. we hope to see a greater attendance since we have invited a bring on your green costume contest and many other festive activities.” The shamrock shuffle kicks off with the 5k starting at 7:50 a.m. saturday. The fee for the 10k or 5k is $30. www.ymcashamrock shuffle.org
Runners and walkers are encouraged to dress in green in the Catch the Leprechaun race.

film not ‘incredible’ but not bad by roger moore MCT
a
n all-star comedy that leans on its stars to conjure laughs out of thin air, “The incredible burt wonderstone” is about veteran magicians who find themselves suddenly less relevant when mr. new and edgy shows up and upstages them on the vegas strip. an art-imitating-artist moment for steve carell and Jim carrey? maybe. but when you’ve got those two, oscar winner alan arkin, olivia wilde, steve buscemi and James gandolfini in your cast, the four guys you paid to write this thing should have no trouble finding a laugh a minute. we meet anthony and albert as bullied 10-year-olds who find escape, and purpose, in a “become a magician” kit — vhs instruction tape included — featuring veteran prestidigitator rance holloway (arkin). Thirty years later, burt wonderstone (carell) and partner anton marvelton (buscemi) have their own theater at bally’s, a steady fanbase, gullible groupies (for burt) and a boss (gandolfini) who puts up with burt’s diva-demands and lifestyle. They go through assistants like candy, and burt is so

Steve Carell, Jim Carrey work magic in comedy by John anderson Newsday
a
rmed with his mattel magic kit (“i loved it so much”), the very young steve carell would put on shows for other kids in his acton, mass., neighborhood. but he admits he wasn’t a very good magician. “as soon as the show was over,” he said, “i would tell everyone how all the tricks worked.” That’s something he certainly can’t do with “The incredible burt wonderstone,”
which opens friday and stars carell, Jim carrey and olivia wilde in a comedy about egos, illusions and plunging necklines (on carell). in an effort to avoid too much computer enhancement, the movie used a lot of real tricks that came courtesy of its magic adviser, the celebrated david copperfield. but it meant the actors had to sign a confidentiality agreement. “honestly, that was the coolest part,” carell said. “you really felt you were part of that world.” worlds collide in “burt wonderstone,” which is set in
the magic capital of the world, las vegas, a place where “you go big or go home,” as wilde put it, and which she said seemed “ripe” for the kind of parody they were out to do. “and the more i learned more about vegas magicians, the more i said, yeah, this place is right for comedy. “and the idea of competition between magicians? They really do dislike each other.” They certainly do in “burt wonderstone.” burt (carell) and his partner, anton marvelton (steve buscemi), have been doing turn-away busi-
ness on the vegas strip for years (any resemblance to siegfried and roy is purely intentional). but their act is getting old, the seats emptier and the relationship so acrimonious they keep losing assistants and have to draft a techie named Jane (wilde) as a last-second substitute. despite Jane’s contributions, the act is in free-fall, and the team’s boss, hotel owner doug munny (James gandolfini), looks to replace them with someone edgier, someone like

gray rolls into town. Jim carrey turns gray into a long-haired guru of the gross: a magician/stuntman who rolls up with a guerrilla film crew and stuns bystanders with routines that involve self-injury, followed by selfstitches. carrey, sporting an “escape from what?” tattoo and a Zen master-meetsstreet-thug ethos — “bad things don’t happen to us, they happen for us” — makes this guy so scary and magic from page e6
steve gray (carrey), a street “magician” and internet sensation whose act is more about body-modification and pain than the kind of grand illusion in which burt and anton have specialized in ever since they were boyhood friends. while the idea of “extreme” magic reflects something going on in the culture at large, it wasn’t something the filmmakers wanted “to hit with a sledgehammer,” carell said. but he hoped it wouldn’t be lost on anyone, either. “it’s the idea that something that is classic and perhaps a bit well-worn can casually be replaced by something that might not be considered art but is new and shocking,” he said. “i think that not only happens in magic but in the comedy world, as well. i think there are lots of parallels, especially in television, in terms
fun that you wish his “brain rapist” tv show were real. because we’d watch it. but to burt? gray’s not a real magician: “he doesn’t even have a costume.” “burt wonderstone” lets us see the rise, and then fall of burt and anton, their changing hairstyles and unchanging act. it takes burt from the man with the “biggest bed in las vegas” — “would you like to see it, nakedly?” — to a drunk reduced to entertaining the seniors at a retirement home.
That’s where he meets rance, and tries to get his old magic mojo back. The laughs come fast and furious for about 30 minutes, then they fade into occasional chuckles of recognition and the odd hear-carell-makefunny-whimpering-sounds gag, or see clueless anton deliver unwanted magic kits to starving Third world kids. few jokes take us by surprise, but enough comic haymakers land to make “burt wonderstone” credible, if not exactly “incredible.”
of what people are watching at this point. people are getting so much info on a daily basis, you need to do something ridiculous just to garner any attention.” in one scene, carrey, looking remarkably buff, with a mephistophelean beard and long, flowing locks, does a hiddencard trick that involves steve pulling the card out of a slice in his cheek. he also attempts to set the world record for staring, while having pepper spray shot into his eyes. “it’s an observation about what people want to watch, and what audiences seem to be demanding,” wilde said. “people want to be pushed to the brink, to see what they’ve never seen. it’s interesting because it’s happening in sports and in film, as well — horror, comedy. people want to be pushed to the edge. i wonder if that’s a reaction to technology and what’s
available at our fingertips, or the demands made on entertainment that you pay for, because free content is so plentiful. “if our film is a love letter to anything, it’s to a classic style of entertainment.” directed by tv’s don scardino (“30 rock,” “2 broke girls”) and written by six other people, “The incredible burt wonderstone” is less than a love letter to vegas, or the performers who inspired the burt and anton characters (“There were so many,” carell said with a laugh). carell said of vagas: “i found that i’m no gambler. it’s not in my dna, i’m not good at it and don’t think i enjoy it. but what i really like are the restaurants. and the shows. my wife and kids came out this weekend, and we all had dinner and went to see ‘o.’ That’s what worked for me.”

Xiao bao biscuit
downtown asian restaurant’s dishes offer taste, texture and flavor Xiao bao biscuit
by deidre schipani Special to The Post and Courier
s
pring and king streets have much in common these days as commerce marches north and west. new businesses and new restaurants fuel these arteries that were once the thoroughfares of exodus. The newest players in satisfying our appetite for all things asian are Josh walker, duolan li and cocktail maestro Joey ryan, proprietors of Xiao bao biscuit. for the past couple of years, Xbb, as it is affectionately known, hosted pop-up dinners around town. now they have a “room of their own” — a former gas station has been converted for Xbb. it possesses an urban edge that in true charleston preservation fashion maintained the design lines of its previous function, added a sassy turquoise-painted door, maintained the pass-through as a window onto spring street and painted the former gas station’s canopy a cheerful carolina blue. add a few outdoor picnic tables, pot some bamboo, hang some asian “primitive” art and fire up the rice cooker, and Xiao bao biscuit is open for business. The menu is pan-asian, not anchored to authenticity but gently tethered to the cuisines of east asia, southeast asia and the west. for walker, li and their team, this means the use of local produce and foodways translated to sauce stratification, layered seasonings and the generous use of herbs and aromatics. you will find the flavors clean. There is a clarity of plate composition that plays ginger and garlic against chiles and mint; that tempers fish sauce with caramel and lemongrass with vinegar. walker informs guests: “our dishes have been carefully crafted to be enjoyed as is. no substitutions please!”
leroy burnell/staff
Xia Bao Biscuit Restaurant is at 224 Rutledge Ave. downtown. honor that, and you will not be disappointed. begin with Japan’s okonomiyaki ($8), a cabbage-based pancake that would remind you of a korean pajun, tossed in a light batter with kale, carrots and scallion. it is striped with Japanese mayo and a bright red band of chili sauce. commendable. The dumplings ($8) are toothsome and are allowed to crust before being topped with pea shoots and radish and a black vinegar dipping sauce. The bahn mi tom quet noung ($6) are vietnam’s answer to chinese shrimp toast and play out greaseless and crisp. The dipping sauce has some kick, but the paste of shrimp is light and fresh tasting. follow this with som tam ($5), which is a green papaya salad topped with peanuts and fried shallots. a traditional
snack food, it makes for a good palate cleanser before any of the main courses. This is not a one-fromcolumn-a, one-fromcolumn-b kind of a place, but you can easily mix the sides and starters and share any of the main dishes. Xiao bao biscuit also offers family-style platters. These must be reserved 48 hours in advance with an email to the restaurant. at the time of our review visit, the choices were a whole poulet rouge chicken ($50) served with rice and seasonal vegetables for four; a triggerfish ($32) for two and clams from “nowhere” ($29), an obvious play on the fact that every other item on the menu lists a country of origin. tenri-style ramen ($12) was popular that night, and the restaurant tops its shoyubased broth with pork belly,
kimchi, greens and a poached egg. The classic hoi ann (a place) cao lau ($13) is not to be missed. The belief is that this wheat noodle dish was designed to please the Japanese, and its noodles get their chewiness from that city’s well water. walker and his team manage to get that sticky, toothsome quality to the noodles. The broth is elixir and the garlic and lemongrass “chips” cut the fat flavor of the pork. bright green kale adds a bitter, earthy note, and the chili-infused broth cradles the final flavors of this dish. a pan-seared flounder dish ($16) served over rice noodles brought new appreciation to whole stems of dill being used as both a vegetable and herb. lemongrass played up the citrus notes and the well-crusted fish kept its texture for as long
as it lasted in the bowl. our server, “wu tang,” did not spin any hip-hop or break into a dance but was wellinformed about the menu, the heat levels and the flavors. mapo dofou ($12) will appease those looking for heat, and congee ($12) adds a note not usually seen in asianinfluenced restaurants here: the addition of pork cotton candy (rou song) as a topper for the dish. Think of a light, soft/crunchy elusive porkwhisperer. The cocktails read interesting. The beers are wellmatched to the menu, especially the beer lao ($4). wine has a very short sheet. push-up popsicles are for dessert ($4). They are the perfect balms to the chiles’ heat and vary with the day. diners to the right of us enjoyed doughnuts that they were

gallery talk one of charleston’s betterknown and loved artists, linda fantuzzo, has an exhibit called “brush with nature,” consisting of new large-scale paintings, at rebekah Jacob gallery. gallery owner rebekah Jacob said, “linda is the best landscape painter in our region. “combining tradition and modernism, fantuzzo characteristically explores dualities in her landscapes that border on the abstract. she skillfully layers warm colors and cool tones with broad, loose brush strokes, creating images of landscapes distinguished more for a romantic, magical rendering of light and color than for the tropical flora that identifies the region,” Jacob said. and fantuzzo said this of the new body of work: “after many years of painting in the field, i now sense the landscape as myth. nothing is set or fixed in the terrain; it is elusive and is altered minute to minute as sun and clouds traverse the sky. i can only render what is seen in an instant, and it is this instant that opens pathways to the use of color and texture in order to create an atmosphere that describes the land.” fantuzzo will give a talk at 6 p.m. today at the gallery, 502 king st.
painter marcus colburn has had an interesting life, living in places as varied as iowa and spain, and he and his wife soon will be moving to beijing. his abstract watercolors are like explosions of color on paper. check out his vibrant pieces this week only at lordis loft salon and spa, 310 king st.

The south of broadway Theatre company has created not one, but two operas for audiences this month. “laundry & bourbon” and “lone star” are companion pieces written by James mclure that “offer two points of view about the ‘goings-on’ in the town of maynard, texas,” explains mark gorman of south of broadway. “laundry and bourbon” is set on a back porch with three wives — elizabeth, amy lee, and hatti — as they drink bourbon and coke, fold laundry and gossip. The companion story somewhat parallels this one as it is set at angel’s bar, where the three women’s husbands — roy, ray and cletis — are gathered for an evening of beer, booze and tall tales. Things start to get interesting when a few too many secrets are revealed. The performances will run 7:30 p.m. today-saturday, monday and march 21-23, and 3 p.m. sunday at 1080 e. montague ave., north charleston. call 745-0317 or go to www. southofbroadway.com.

crowfield says ‘goodbye, goodnight, so long’ by ballard lesemann Special to The Post and Courier
w
hen charleston band crowfield announced in January that it was splitting up after a six-year run, fans and friends were shocked and confused. led by singer-songwriter and guitarist tyler mechem, the americana-tinged quintet had become one of the brightest stars in the lowcountry rock scene. last march, mechem and his bandmates — drummer parker gins, keyboardist whitt algar, bassist ben meyer and lead guitarist ryan holderfield — independently released a well-polished studio album titled “The diamond sessions.” and they followed it up by touring heavily throughout the southeast and across the country through the summer, fall and winter. Things seemed to be going well for the band by the end of 2012, but an announcement posted on its facebook page Jan. 4 stated that mechem and his crew were “moving on to other interests in life,” adding that crowfield would be performing an official farewell show march 15 at the charleston music hall. mechem believed crowfield already had accomplished its best. “it was tough, but if those words were going to come out of my mouth, i knew i was

Local band Crowfield will hold a farewell concert Friday at the Charleston Music Hall.

Through a kickstarter. com campaign, he and the band raised nearly $20,000 to finance “The diamond sessions.” with so many fans of-
fering support, it was particularly difficult for mechem to pull the plug on the group. “so many people had believed in us, supported us, given money and done so much for us to do what we did. i didn’t want them to feel like we were giving up on them or being unappreciative,” mechem said. “There was some frustration on the business side of things, but i was just at the point where i kind of started feeling like it was ok if we’d reached the end.”
The beginning
mechem formed crowfield in charleston in 2007 shortly after he and pianist Joe giant relocated to the lowcountry from indiana. They started performing as a duo before adding extra players to the lineup, including micah nichols on lead guitar, ethan ricks on bass and gins on drums. in 2008, the band released “goodbye, goodnight, so long midwestern,” a twangy debut comprised of guitarbased power-pop and altcountry originals. They followed up in 2010 with a self-titled collection of radio-friendly modern-rock and pop tunes. named in honor of late promoter/manager Johnny diamond, 2012’s “The diamond sessions” included more countrified ballads and wellpolished guitar-pop tunes. mechem considers diamond to be a dedicated supporter who took a chance on assist-

The turnout was mixed; some shows were exciting and wellattended while others were mild and sparse. “we wanted to take over the world, and we’d get stressed out if we didn’t get enough ads at radio stations with ‘The diamond sessions’ or draw big crowds at shows,” mechem said. “The motivation for those things started to fade a little bit, not because i didn’t believe in what we were doing, but because those outcomes didn’t dictate whether or not i believed it was a success. “i think those changing expectations didn’t line up with the kind of band we were. i think i just wanted to change our goals.”
The end
mechem said he was pleased and relieved that his bandmates were so understanding about his decision to stop, especially his drummer, with whom mechem had played the longest in crowfield. “parker told me, ‘i wondered when and if you were going to do it, but i was willing to stick with you, no matter what,’ ” mechem recalls. “That guy can play anything with any rock band, so that meant a lot.” crowfield’s break-up doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the end of the band’s musical adventure. Through mechem’s work, the crowfield legacy will continue, one way or another. as the songwriter and vocalist, mechem developed a distinctive style that will likely play into forthcoming solo and collaborative efforts. crowfield drew from a mix of pop, rock and americana
influences, and mechem regularly fine-tuned the way he handled writing lyrics, arranging songs and performing on stage, so the crowfield flavor likely will always accent and enhance his songs to come. for friday’s concert at the charleston music hall, mechem and the band plan to play two sets of early and recent material with a brief intermission, which likely will include a panoramic photo shoot of the audience and the band from the stage. guest horn players and various former members of crowfield will be on hand, as well. “we’re not going to change our set for the show,” mechem said. “i’d be tempted to if it wasn’t our final show. “when it’s the last one, you want to play everything that you really want to play one last time. it’s kind of like kissing each one of your kids goodbye.”

they might be giants Nanobots/Idlewild/Megaforce
A-
for more than three decades now, the brooklyn, n.y., band They might be giants has been releasing its own brand of music to an ever-growing audience. The do-it-yourself mentality of core members John linnell and John flansburgh has resulted in a variety of musical styles and concepts. one of the more curious recordings came
doug mcleod
There’s a Time/Reference
A-
one of the best parts of reviewing music is the chance to discover an artist whose work was previously unknown to me. This week’s discovery is blues guitarist doug mcleod. he’s been recording and performing music for more than 30 years, and on his latest release, “There’s a time,” the musician delivers a set of deceptively placid tunes played mostly with acoustic guitars.
Jimi hendrix
People, Hell & Angels/Legacy
C-
make a list of the greatest rock guitarists in history, and chances are that Jimi hendrix will be at the top of it. The late musician certainly deserves that honor. although he really only made music professionally for about seven years before his untimely death in 1970, hendrix changed the way guitar players think about creating music. The surviving members of hendrix’s fam-
on the band’s 1992 album “apollo 18.” called “fingertips,” the song was actually 21 different songs, each lasting just a few seconds. it has remained a fan favorite, especially when performed in its entirety live in concert. on They might be giants’s latest, “nanobots,” the band revisits the “fingertips” idea with nine of the album’s 25 tracks clocking in at under a minute, and while they don’t pack quite the same novelty punch as “fingertips,” the songs demonstrate that the two Johns still have what seems to be a bottom-
less well when it comes to song writing. as for the rest of the music on the album, songs such as “you’re on fire” and “replicant” will remind longtime tmbg fans of classic albums such as “lincoln” and “flood.” local fans will be able to check out some of the new material firsthand when tmbg performs live on april 11 at the music farm. key tracks: “you’re on fire,” “lost my mind,” “replicant”
where some blues artist such as stevie ray vaughan and buddy guy like to wail on their electric guitars, mcleod takes the strong, quiet approach. mcleod’s effectiveness as a performer comes just as much from his voice as it does from his guitar. That voice, with its unidentifiable drawl (mcleod was born in new york and lives in los angeles), is as smooth and thick as honey, and is perfectly suited for telling stories while mcleod’s fingers pick out a melody on his guitar. standout tunes on the new album include
the bouncy “rosa lee,” the positive “The up song” and “The night of the devil’s road,” which benefits beautifully from the haunting sound of mcleod’s resonator guitar. listening to “There’s a time” shows why mcleod has been at his trade successfully for the past three decades, and this new album is a great jumping-on point if you, like me, were not previously aware of mcleod’s talents.
ily keep a pretty tight rein on the rights to his recorded material, and while it might seem like we’ve heard everything the artist recorded in a studio already, the slow trickle of studio material continues. The latest release, “people, hell & angels,” calls itself a collection of 12 previously unreleased studio tracks. in reality, while the music we hear on this new album might be made up of unreleased recordings, the fact is that many of the songs have appeared on other releases. sure, what we heard on those earlier albums might have been a different take or even a completely different studio record-
ing, but what we’re getting here are retreads and tracks that are in some cases cobbled together from several takes. “let me move you” is one of the few truly new pieces of material, and hendrix doesn’t even sing on the track. for the hendrix completist, this is ok to add to the collection, but casual or first-time listeners would do well to look elsewhere.

cfw is not just for the designers. in addition to more than 35 runway shows, cfw is also a breeding ground of emerging model talent. to help select the best of the best, cfw launched the rock the runway model competition. past winners of the contest have signed on with agencies such as ikon model management and img, and others have gone on to compete in “america’s next top model.”
cfw fashion panel
The cfw fashion panel itself contains some fashion heavyweights. fern mallis, who is widely credited with starting new york fashion week, returns for a third year on the panel and has said she “was delighted to be invited ... to charleston. i was impressed with the city, the people i met and the organizers of cfw.” mallis is joined by ashanti; cator sparks, editor in chief of Themanual.com and fashion industry journalist; fashion designers brandon sun, christian siriano, Johnson hartig of libertine, nikki poulos and sarah parrott; peter davis, editor in chief of scene magazine; and arlene goldstein, the vice president of trend merchandising and fashion direction for belk inc.

parties
fashion and film
This year, cfw is also host to its first fashion and film contest. held in conjunction with tout pictures and production design associates, the competition is for short films up to two minutes that tie in with fashion. “There’s so much natural overlap between fashion and film that we wanted to somehow highlight this art form as part of our programming,” said Jed drew, one of the owners of cfw. “we want cfw to continue to be a pipeline of talent across

the fashion spectrum, and we’re thrilled to offer this opportunity to filmmakers this year.”
charleston fashion week doesn’t end at the runway. each night after the show, guests get a chance to flaunt their style at the afterparties. day 1 will find guests at mercury bar with dJ rdot, followed by dJ y-not at mynt on wednesday. Thursday and friday bring dJ forge at The cocktail club and The macintosh, and dJ sk at republic, respectively. saturday, the final night, is the big night for all the fashion types and culminates in a party at the woolfe street playhouse with dJ natty heavy. of course, these are the official after-parties. There are bound to be unofficial afterparties and parties after the after-parties, as well.

celebrate st. paddy’s day in style by allison nugent anugent@postandcourier.com
a
h, st. patrick’s day, the day when everyone is irish. while many see it as an excuse to wear green, drink beer and dig into a plate of corned beef and cabbage, march 17 has a bit more back history.

The saint’s religious feast day has been observed as a religious holiday in ireland for more than 1,000 years. and as st. patrick’s day falls during the christian season of lent, it traditionally has been a day to set aside lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat in favor of dancing, drinking and feasting. in honor of st. patrick, here is a listing of local events that will have you partying like the irish.

ace’s on bridge
By BOBBY WOLFF
Deciding whether to trump a winner or a loser is a common dilemma on defense. An unusual variation of the theme of whether to ruff in or discard comes on hands like today’s. West has to make two good plays as second hand to beat five diamonds, after being given a chance by declarer. On the club lead, declarer wins the ace and would do best, as the cards lie, to draw only one round of trump before taking the club discard on the spades. If, instead, he cashes the diamond ace and king, then leads out the top three spades to pitch the club, West must refrain from ruffing. West knows he cannot prevent declarer from discarding dummy’s losing club whether he
ruffs or not, but there is a better use for the trump than ruffing a winner — drawing two of the opponent’s trumps. If West mistakenly ruffs in, then declarer gives up a heart and crossruffs the rest. So West must pitch a club on the third spade, after which declarer will try to sneak a heart through. If he can duck the trick to East, he will be able to play along crossruff lines. Instead, West must hop up with the heart 10 on the first round of the suit, insuring he wins the first or second heart. He cannot now be prevented from drawing one round of trump, then tapping dummy with a club, preventing the establishment of the hearts.

Son gets his way using lies, looks
d
ear abby: i need help and don’t know where to turn. i am divorced and have a 37-year-old son, “teddy,” who has never married and has no children. he lives on his own except when he’s in trouble or has nowhere else to go. Then he moves back in with me. The problem is my son is a liar and has been ever since he was a teenager. he even lies when telling the truth would be better. i punished him every way i knew how when he was growing up. nothing worked. teddy has been in trouble with the law in the past and is now in trouble again. of course, he says he’s innocent. i got him out on bond and offered to get him help. i also told him there would be no more money from me, and i no longer want to hear his lies. another problem: teddy is extremely good-looking and women swoon over him. he ends up using them and then dumping them, and then they call me. i don’t know why he is the way he is. is there treatment for people who can’t tell the truth? please tell me what to do. i love my son and it breaks my heart to see him do these bad things. — brokenhearted mother in teXas DEAR BROKENHEARTED: As much as you love Teddy, it’s time to accept that you can’t fix what’s wrong with him; only he can do that. It

won’t happen until he finally has to accept the consequences of his bad behavior. Taking him in and bailing him out is not the answer. dear abby: my wife and i are having a disagreement about laundry. when you buy new clothes that are still in the plastic wrapping, should they be washed before they are worn? — Jim in new Jersey DEAR JIM: It’s a personal choice. Some garment manufacturers recommend that certain items be laundered before wearing. However, if they don’t, I don’t. dear abby is written by abigail van buren, also known as Jeanne phillips, and was founded by her mother, pauline phillips. write dear abby at www.dearabby.com or p.o. box 69440, los angeles, ca 90069. abby shares more than 100 of her favorite recipes in two booklets:“abby’s favorite recipes”and“more favorite recipes by dear abby.” send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 to: dear abby, cookbooklet set, p.o. box 447, mount morris, il 61054-0447.
